Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Master Debater edition

tommyfd

All righty, good people – Kibitzer said on last Monday’s obsession that he was going to cruise over to Freeperville to see how the site held up during the final Presedential debate – heh – as if Jim Rob and company were going to let a disastrous repeat (in the middle of a Freepathon, no less) of the near-total failure of the $352,000.00 / year website occur.

I find such cynical aspersions unfounded and completely ungrounded in reality, so let’s go see what improvements have been made!

From a “related” thread discussing the last R/O debate:

(Jim Robinson)

To: Yaelle

The system is not handling the increased loads and we do not know why yet. John says the system is not getting overloaded, the db is not overloaded, the cpus are mostly idle, the load averages are low, the db load averages are low, just reaches a point where throughput stalls. I’m not a techie and I have no idea how to fix it. I thought maybe we could add another server or more RAM or replace some older servers or something, but I guess John doesn’t think that will do it. There’s something wrong in the system software or the configuration but he’s having trouble finding it.

And I’m really upset too, but there’s not a freaking thing I can do about it until John gets it figured out.

Thanks.

Fuck Jeb and his entire family sideways with a rake:  Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) isn’t interested in talking about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially as it relates to his brother, former President George W. Bush. “I won’t talk about the past,” Bush said on Friday when a reporter asked him about an upcoming foreign policy speech in Chicago, according to Bloomberg Politics. “I’ll talk about the future. If I’m in the process of considering the possibility of running, it’s not about re-litigating anything in the past.

God, THIS:   Newspapers cut the physical size of the paper, reduce pages, eliminate syndicated features, cut the reporting staff, severely limit the hours for delivery complaints/problems and then ask for more and more and more money. At the hotel management company my oldest son and I founded eight years ago (and he still runs) when we raised prices we not only gave you something — nicer towels, better shampoo — we told you about it to make sure you knew you were paying more for more.

I wonder what it’s like working on Gov. Scott Walker’s staff these days. It has to be a heady time to be with a man who suddenly rocketed to the front of the Republican party’s conga line for the presidential nomination. The guy survived three elections in four years, a series of protests comparable to the Vietnam War outrage and is now looked upon as a conservative media darling. He essentially controls the whole state, as the Republicans dominate the State Legislature and every Democratic gambit since his election in 2010 has failed to slow his roll.

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Hello, suckers!” edition

Good morning, everyone!

The Endless Freepathon is over, and with almost a month to go before the next one! (pay up, Kibitzer)

Gullibility is high on the list of Freeperati characteristics, so let’s kick off with –Are we not suckers? We are FREEPO!

Are Hannity, Rush, and the big talkers playing us for $$$? (vanity)

Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 10:41:51 PM by teg_76

Do you ever get the feeling that Rush and Hannity don’t really care who wins, just as long as their dollars keep rolling in from us tea party saps.

CaptainObvious2jpg

Besides Mark Levin, what prominent talker has gone out on a limb and endorsed true conservative candidates? Everyday we have to here Hannity interview the John McCains of the world. If he truly believed in the conservative movement, wouldn’t he be out there trumpeting Richard Mourdock and Don Stenberg like Levin is?

As for Rush, he is more interested in commercializing the tea party movement with his “Two if by tea” than promoting it.

Besides Mark Levin, they’re all sellouts just like the Republican leadership…looking out for their own career over the well being of the country.

Eric Cantor with his support of Richard Lugar and Adam Kinzinger in their primaries is consolidating moderate, establishment support behind his ambition to be speaker some day. But Hannity is more interested in a softball interview with him than evicerating him for his actions.

There are very few leaders in our movement.

Fox has their own rules, as we saw with Glenn Beck. Now he can be as crazy as he wants to be, but while at Fox, he was “handled”.

And now he’s handling himself.

In a marketplace of ideas, the bad ideas go away eventually. CNN. MSNBC, and others are examples of that. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from blogging, becoming a writer, or becoming a talk show host.To keep an audience, you would have to keep some opinions close to your vest.

Death penalty for being brown, ferinstance.

Savage and Stein prove that. Levin is the only one that can call someone a liar, or communist and get back on the air the next day. I think hat’s because he’s a lawyer and leaves a way out. Look at what’s happened to Anne (sic) Coulter. I bet her next book isn’t quite the best seller she is used to.

Particularly pissed about his lecturing to us about Breitbart’s death and that HE knew about Andrew’s heart condition and that we should lay off about the autopsy.

Most annoying with him is his pandering for the ‘black vote’ with the guests and callers he has on. It’s like…”well I know you’re going to vote for Obama…but can I sway you and your kids by sending you a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Pre-Flora and toys for the kids?” It’s disgusting. I’m sorry, No different from what the Democraps promise them. And that’s my damned opinion. So, there.

He has also paid his dues and busted the crap out of many a leftist when he is not, in his own words “carrying water” for the Geriatric Old Plantation.

In a Google hangout last evening, President Barack Obama explained
that his problem is that he’s “not the emperor of the United States”:

“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,”
said Obama. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not
the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.”

Posted on Friday, April 05, 2013 10:39:13 AM by Oldpuppymax

Tea Party favorite former US Congressman Allen West admitted to
investigator Lt. Mike Zullo that political expediency was more important
to him than supporting the investigation of Barack Obama’s eligibility
for office. “I would really have to think about this, but I don’t think
so,” West said in response to Zullo’s question: “Would you support an
individual that steps forward to bring this (document fraud) to the
forefront?”

The officer heading up Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case
Posse investigation went to the Conservative C-PAC enclave with radio
talk host Carl Gallups to tell any and all listeners about the criminal
law enforcement probe of birth certificate document fraud. (1) Zullo
described his conversation with West as a face to face, direct on
conversation with the Tea Party favorite to whose political campaign so
many trusting Americans gave their hard earned dollars.

The retired Lieutenant Army Colonel said to Zullo that spending his political capital…

I’ve learned that how people handle the little things in life is a good
predictor of how they’ll handle the big things. I thought West might be

Well, spending one’s political capital on something that is going
to go nowhere, even though it should go somewhere, is probably not a
very wise way to spend one’s political capital.

America has elected this bum twice, and is likely to replace him with a

For the last four years, Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs.com and the American
Freedom Defense Initiative have held events at CPAC featuring guests she
invites to discuss the influence of Islamism on America. But this year, the
American Conservative Union (ACU) has no room for Geller or her message.

[…]

In years past, the events were standing room only thanks to their
popularity, but that apparently was not enough to counter pressure brought to
bear from somewhere to exclude Geller’s message.

Gallup: Americans’ Attention to IRS, Benghazi Stories Below Average

Gallup ^

| 05/16/2013
| Frank Newport

Posted on Friday, May 17, 2013 1:35:37 PM by SeekAndFind

Slim majorities of Americans are very or somewhat closely following
the situations involving the Internal Revenue Service (54%) and the
congressional hearings on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi,
Libya, and its aftermath (53%) — comparatively low based on historical
measures of other news stories over the last two decades.

These
results are based on a May 14-15 Gallup poll. Despite extensive news
coverage of these stories in recent days, the level of attention being
paid to each is below the average 60% of Americans who have closely
followed more than 200 news stories Gallup has measured over the past
several decades. Additionally, Americans appear to be paying almost
exactly the same levels of attention to both stories, despite the
relative newness of the IRS story during the time in which this survey
was in the field.

Republicans More Tuned In

Republicans
are much more likely to say they are following these news stories
closely than are independents or in particular Democrats. There is a
21-percentage-point gap between Republicans and Democrats in terms of
following the Benghazi story closely, and a 27-point gap on the IRS
story.

Navy Announces USS Gabrielle Giffords

abc ^

| Feb 10, 2012 3:38pm
| Luis Martinez

Posted on Monday, March 25, 2013 10:29:13 PM by Red Steel

The Navy’s newest ship will be the USS Gabrielle Giffords.

Navy
Secretary Ray Mabus made the announcement at a Pentagon ceremony today,
calling Giffords someone whose name is synonymous with courage.

Former
Rep. Gabby Giffords looked on at the Pentagon as Mabus made the
announcement in a public ceremony. Also in attendance at this
afternoon’s brief ceremony in the Pentagon Courtyard was Roxana Green,
the mother of 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green.

Christina-Taylor
was among those killed in last year’s deadly shooting rampage in Tucson
that targeted Giffords as she met constituents outside a supermarket.
Roxana Green will be the ship’s sponsor.

Giffords is still
recovering from the gunshot wounds to her head that she suffered during
last January’s shooting incident. She stepped down from Congress two
weeks ago.

The ship named today for her, which has yet to be
built, will be the Navy’s 10th Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), a new kind of
ship designed to bring the Navy fighting power into shallow coastal
areas. The first two ships in this class were called Freedom and
Independence, but the conventional practice since then has been to name
the other ships in the class after a city.

“It’s very appropriate
that LCS 10 be named for someone who has become synonymous with
courage, who has inspired the nation with remarkable resiliency and
showed the possibilities of the human spirit,” said Mabus.

Mabus
said the notion occurred to him that this would be a “fitting tribute”
not only to Giffords but to Navy families because she was a Navy spouse.
Her husband, Mark Kelly, was until recently an astronaut and Navy
pilot.

to recover that were worse than what Giffords had to deal with.

We used to name our ships in memory of great warriors… now we name them after whoever is popular in Washington.

Illinois GOP leader sends racist email aimed at former Miss America

Posted on Sunday, June 23, 2013 6:37:57 PM by chicagolady

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) –

Erika Harold is a Harvard educated lawyer, a former Miss America, and a conservative Republican who’s now running for Congress.

Her beauty queen credentials have gotten her lots of attention, but an email that surfaced today could get her a lot more.

Harold
is running against incumbent Rodney Davis in a primary next March.
Since she is bi-racial, GOP activist Doug Ibendahl wrote that she’d be
good for the party.

“Just be a great face for the Republican
party,” Ibendahl wrote. “We could actually do, in Illinois, we could do
more than talk about diversity. We could actually promote it.”

But
last night, Ibendahl received an email from Jim Allen, the chairman of
the Montgomery County Republican party, south of Springfield. Allen is
backing Rodney Davis and he wrote that Harold is being “used like a
street walker,” that she’s “the love child” of the Democrats, and that
someday she’ll be “working for some law firm that needs to meet their
quota for minority hires.” Ibendahl says Allen ought to resign his party
chairmanship.

**********************************************************

So Much for a BIG TENT to include all kinds of folks. The Illinois
Republican party has had many African Americans and Hispanics step up
and run for office and they have not given one inch or support or sent a
nickel their way.

The only candidates the ILLINOIS GOP will support
is if you are Pro gay marriage, Pro Amnesty and anything that will
defeat Conservative values. What a bunch of LOSERS! I am sure the
Illinois GOP is just one example of many GOP organizations that are
striving to stop Conservatives, It is NOT only the IRS!

Republican News Watch.

The Post-Dispatch describes it as an independent website run by
conservative Republicans who are challenging moderate GOP leaders in
Illinois.

He also predicted that Davis would win and that Harold would be
“working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority
hires.”

Ron Paul: Manning ‘should be released’Politico ^ | 8/22/2013 | Breanna Edwards

Posted on Thursday, August 22, 2013 6:34:00 PM by Republican Wildcat

Former Rep. Ron Paul believes that Chelsea Manning — previously known as Bradley Manning — has done enough time in custody for the WikiLeaks scandal and should be released.

Paul, who made his comments at a Reddit AMA session on Thursday, agreed that Manning should’ve been punished for practicing civil disobedience and breaking the law, but Manning’s time served until now, as well as the other factors in the case, should prompt Manning’s release.

“He deserves some punishment, but he has already received (in my estimation) excessive amounts of punishment. He has been in prison for over 3 years as well as tortured, and most military personnel who are caught committing war crimes never receive any penalties.” Paul wrote when asked about Manning’s sentence.

“I think he should be released now, that he has done us a great service by letting the people know the truth[. He’s] a whistleblower in my estimation (even the courts did not charge him with aiding the enemy), and I believe his goal was to inform the American people of the truth about what was happening in the Iraq / Afghanistan Wars,” the veteran politician who now runs his own Internet show wrote.

Republicans have never really liked libertarians, but tolerated them as useful idiots. It’s the political equivalent of “Cafeteria Catholics”, deciding what to pick and choose from the libertarian buffet of crazy.
They like the idea (or at least they think they do) of paying no Federal Income tax, but hate the idea of not being able to summon up a couple of Divisions to go bomb and shoot up some brown people.
They like the idea (or at least they think they do) of not being spied on, but they hate the idea of what Manning did to the point of wanting him killed.

Or, as we say around these parts, FUCK YEAH ALABAMA:  The well-worn path of defiance against the federal courts, and the imagery that invokes, is one the governor ofAlabama said he would rather not travel. Gov. Robert Bentley, a Republican and a Southern Baptist, said he believes strongly that marriage is between one man and one woman, but that the issue should be “worked out through the proper legal channels” and not through defiance of the law. The governor noted that Alabama is about to be in the spotlight again with the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of … Continue reading Forward Out of Darkness, Forward Into Light

Happy Kerry Photo: He’s Just Toying With Me Now

Allison Hantschel

BOYFRIEND.  At the end of a wide-ranging interview airing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Chuck Todd pressed Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, whether there was a scenario in which he would run again for president in 2016. “I have no scenario whatsoever in my mind,” Kerry said. “I haven’t thought about it. As you can tell, pretty busy.” When Todd asked, “is it a never say never?” Kerry replied: “Well, nobody says never. But I mean, I have no concept of it.” Either that, or he’s just toying with Chuck Todd, which could only make me love … Continue reading Happy Kerry Photo: He’s Just Toying With Me Now

Dean Smith, R.I.P.

Peter Adrastos Athas

I was stupidly sad yesterday over the death of someone I’ve never met but always admired. Dean Smith died at the age of 83. He was a great basketball coach and an even better human being. I may have mentioned that my late father and I agreed on only two things: food and basketball. His idea of heaven when I was a kid was a Final Four that featured John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins and Dean Smith’s North Carolina Tar Heels. Both teams epitomized the sort of unselfish team oriented hoops that floated both our boats. Odd image but accurate. The … Continue reading Dean Smith, R.I.P.

Damn – sometimes, I’m glad we’re opening up these corroded drums of Freepitude protected by iso suits and piped-in clean air.

It looks like it may get a lot more dangerous than before…

Vaccine Critics Turn Defensive Over Measles
New York Times ^ | 1/30/2015 | JACK HEALY and MICHAEL PAULSON

Posted on ‎2‎/‎1‎/‎2015‎ ‎8‎:‎03‎:‎17‎ ‎PM by Jan_Sobieski

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Their children have been sent home from school. Their families are barred from birthday parties and neighborhood play dates. Online, people call them negligent and criminal. And as officials in 14 states grapple to contain a spreading measles outbreak that began near here at Disneyland, the parents at the heart of America’s anti-vaccine movement are being blamed for incubating an otherwise preventable public-health crisis.

Measles anxiety rippled thousands of miles beyond its center on Friday as officials scrambled to try to contain a wider spread of the highly contagious disease — which America declared vanquished 15 years ago, before a statistically significant number of parents started refusing to vaccinate their children. In recent days, new measles cases popped up in Nebraska and Minnesota, New York and Marin County in California. Officials around the country reported rising numbers of patients who were seeking shots, as well as some pediatricians who were accepting non-vaccinated families but were debating changing their policies. The White House urged parents to listen to the science that supports inoculations…

****************************************

What is conspicuously absent from this article is where have all these dangerous diseases coming from? Illegal immigration has brought the diseases of the 3rd world right to our doorstep. American families concerned about the danger of vaccinations chose not to vaccinate long before the floodgates of the 3rd world were opened, and it is certain that they will continue.Watch for this issue to escalate, pitting faith based Americans versus their countrymen, conservative and liberal. This conversation is moving beyond the boundaries of private practice into the government, Local/State/Federal/Military who have for some time mandated vaccinations/shots that they have created. My question to people, are you so sure to put your family’s health in the hands of a government committed to population control (where 1/60 children are autistic after vaccinations)?

As a Bible Believing Born Again Christian (not Christian Scientist). I seek medical care and have nothing against the medical practice in general, but we always try to pray first before going to the hospital.

We would consider vaccination for a healthy older child, however for the children, we have to protect them from outside toxins.

Like your political views?

If people don’t like it, no problem, we never asked for their opinion and I will continue to use my doctor who feels the same way we do about vaccinations.

Fuck you and fuck your doctor.

But as a parent with many children, some of them grown, none of them have had vaccinations.

Yes.  We know. Now quit letting them go to Disneyland.

To this date, all have been perfectly healthy without Government

As well the science that supports global warming/climate change whatever. Right – I’ll get right on that!

I don’t vaccinate my daughter either…we’ve talked about we may not always have the choice, but I’d rather have the real diseases and get forever immunity anyway.

I’m so tired of the fear mongering and group think that on this one thing the government really knows best.

Ouch.
Looks like the Freepers who believe in (some) science are mounting a counterattack.
To: porter_knorr
I’d rather have the real diseasesI have to assume that you never had the REAL diseases nor saw the effects of complications arising from the REAL diseases.We, of the generation that had the real diseases, saw the birth defects caused by rubella during pregnancy, saw the wasting limbs left by polio (and the pictures of kids in iron lungs), gladly had our children vaccinated and were thankful that there were finally vaccines to eliminate these vile diseases.

It’s simple. I have enough evidence to mistrust the government and their eugenics doctors. It’s settled. They want to do science experiments on my kids.No, you don’t give a damn about anyone else’s kids…Fine, keep your at home and don’t infect public schools, libraries, transportation, entertainment etc etc etc…PATHETIC

So – this is a “don’t-trust-the-stinking-gubment” versus the “are you fucking INSANE?” factions.
Got it.

The Only Lies That Mattered: Brian Williams and What We Fact Check Now

Allison Hantschel

So Brian Williams is about to lose his job. Not, unfortunately, for being an overpaid and mostly decorative hairdo who complains about the Internet like he’s my grandpa’s age, but for making up/misremembering/embellishing a story that led to the deaths of absolutely nobody and changed the course of the war he told the story about not one little bit. How crazy would it be if we scrutinized Dick Cheney’s Iraq statements as closely as we are now examining Brian Williams’? — Athenae (@Athenae) February 7, 2015 And no, for you in the cheap seats, I don’t think lying is nothing. … Continue reading The Only Lies That Mattered: Brian Williams and What We Fact Check Now

Sunday Morning Video: The Edsel Show

Peter Adrastos Athas

This is one of the oddest things I’ve ever run into on the YouTube. It’s an all-star teevee special promoting the ultimate lemon, the Ford Edsel. The amazing cast didn’t help a bit, but it’s fun to hear Bing sing the praises of the Edsel. It obviously didn’t lay an egg for the lack of a promotional budget with Bing, Frank, Rosemary, and Louis on board. Continue reading Sunday Morning Video: The Edsel Show

Happy Fucking Carnival

Peter Adrastos Athas

There’s a major and seemingly endless construction project on Napoleon Avenue in Uptown New Orleans. It just happens to seriously impact my daily life and, more importantly, Carnival. Many of the parades start at the intersection of Napoleon and Magazine, which is a mere 4 blocks from Adrastos World HQ. The city, contractor, and Corps of Engineers spent months lying about the project’s impact on the parade season. They finally came clean two weeks ago, which should have made me happy that I was right all along. It did not. Yesterday, the contractors posted a chirpy sign at the aforementioned … Continue reading Happy Fucking Carnival
