ESPN pulls Hank Williams Jr. after he compares Obama to Hitler
sports.yahoo.com ^ | 10-3-11 | Chris Chase

Hank Williams Jr., the singer whose various videos for the hit song “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Monday Night” has served as the intro to “Monday Night Football” for 23 seasons, compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler during a Monday morning appearance on “Fox and Friends.” The statement led to ESPN pulling his popular intro segment, best known to fans for its “Are you ready for some football?” ending, for Monday night’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During a discussion on the 2012 presidential race, Williams began discussing Obama’s golf outing with Speaker of the House John Boehner. He said it was a political mistake, on par with “Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”

He then said:
“Well you may not know it but this man is a spy.
He’s a undercover agent for the FBI
And he’s been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan!”
.
I said “Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for President.”

“Well he’s a friend of them long haired, hippy-type, pinko fags!
I betchya he’s even got a commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.”

To: Justaham

Actually he never compared Obama to Hitler. What he said was Boehner and Obama Golfing was like Hitler and Netanyahu golfing. In other words, you could not find two more diametrically opposed people to play golf. He was no more likening Obama to Hitler than he was calling Boehner Netanyahu, ( which wouldnt even make sense asBoehner on his best day couldn’t even polish Bibi’s shoes.)

Well, “Bibi” has your spittle to do that with, doesn’t he?

Cain Denies New Allegations, as Woman Claims They Had 13-Year Affair
FOX News ^ | 11-28-11 | FOX News

Posted on Monday, November 28, 2011 5:16:15 PM byLazlo in PA

ATLANTA — Herman Cain on Monday pre-emptively denied a forthcoming accusation by a woman who is expected to say she had a 13-year affair with the Republican presidential candidate.

In an apparent effort to get ahead of the story, Cain appeared in a cable news interview to say the woman is “someone who I know, who is an acquaintance, who I thought was a friend.”

MyFoxAtlanta.com released some details of the story, which is scheduled to air Monday night, shortly after Cain appeared on CNN — identifying the accuser as an Atlanta businesswoman named Ginger White.

“It was pretty simple,” White told the station. “It wasn’t complicated. I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship.”

There have been rumors that the Regime had something else up their sleeves to slam Cain again. This may be it.

To: Lazlo in PA
Cain may deny it, but his attorney did anything but:

Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life

If Cain did not do it, he should fire his lawyer.

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “It’s so good to be home for the Halalidays” edition

Yeah – I know this was supposed to be a “Putrid Potpourri” edition, but there’s been alarming real-time developments in Freeperville.

You know how every so often a little reality creeps into the eternal ragefest, when they catch themselves during the rage ramp-up and realize they’re being played? This was one of those times.

Happy Halal Thanksgiving (Boycott Butterball)
American Thinker ^ | November 21, 2011 | Pamela Geller

Posted on Monday, November 21, 2011 8:47:27 PM byMount Athos

Did you know that the turkey you’re going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it’s a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is.

I discovered that only two plants in the U.S. that perform halal slaughter keep the halal meat separated from the non-halal meat. At other meat-packing plants, animals are slaughtered following halal requirements, but then only a small bit of the meat is actually labeled halal.

Wendy Howze, a Butterball Consumer Response Representative, responded: “Our whole turkeys are certified halal.”

Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, and letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest. Many people refuse to eat it on religious grounds.

Others object because of the cruelty to animals that halal slaughter necessitates.

Still others refuse to do so on principle: why should we be forced to conform to Islamic norms? It’s Islamic supremacism on the march, yet again.

Non-Muslims in America and Europe don’t deserve to have halal turkey forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent.

The same Islamic law that mandates that animals be cruelly slaughtered according to halal requirements also teaches hatred of and warfare against unbelievers, the oppression of women, the extinguishing of free speech, and much more that is inimical to our freedom. Don’t support it on this celebration of freedom. Join our Facebook group, ‘Boycott Butterball’.

Don’t buy a Butterball turkey for Thanksgiving.

Gee, great idea to demand a Butterball Boycott when most people have already bought their birds. That’s like the TV News showing the wild drinking, drugs and sex binges of Spring break 2 weeks after break has taken place. Boycotts seldom work. And most people won’t care much of a drat where the throat was cut, just as long as the bird isn’t still flapping when being stuffed into the oven.

It has been an ancient custom to pray for the animal that’s been sacrificed for your meal. This is not at all peculiar to Moslems. Christian Arabs would traditionally use terminology very similar to that.

It’s too late. You ate the Satanic lamb chops and your family is going to Hell, you baaa-aaaad man.

Most people just think that Halal is like Kosher. It is not. Kosher slaughter is just a way of processing so all of the blood gets out of the meat. Halal is actually a sacrifice. They point that lamb/turkey in the direction of the Black Rock of Mecca and sacrifice it to Allah. We are all Muslims now.

And that brings us back around to Hermain Cain.
Now, I don’t want to go off on a rant here, but creepy red-meat-throwing assholes like Cain, Bachmann, Perry, and Santorum may appeal to the 8% of the 28% that make up the GOP base, but they’re not going to win any national elections.

Rick Perry’s ‘truly bizarre’ speech: Was he drunk?
TheWeek.com ^ | October 31, 2011 | TheWeek

Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2011 4:56:27 AM byiowamark

Texas Gov. Rick Perry raised some eyebrows — and questions about his sobriety — with anunusually expressive speech to a conservative group in Manchester, N.H., on Friday. In the speech, Perry ditched his typically reserved style and instead employed “the sort of tics, facial contortions, mimes, and muggings that one would expect from a comic performer,”says Thomas Lane atTalking Points Memo. The media scuttlebutt is largely based on an anonymously posted YouTube compilation of “highlights” from the speech (watch the clip below), but even some in attendance were perplexed. “It was different,” Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said. AnotherGOP operative said it reminded him of Democrat Howard Dean’s race-ending “scream” in 2004. Perry’s campaign’s response? The speech simply proves that Perry is “passionate about the issues he talks about.”

The reaction: Perry’s performance was “truly bizarre,”says Libby Spencer atThe Impolitic. “He comes off as pretty well drunk. Or drugged.” Yes, and though it’s not a crime to be “pretty publicly lit,” it’s almost certainly bad politics for a presidential hopeful, says Andrew Sullivan atThe Daily Beast. Well, I doubt he’s drunk, says Josh Feldman atMediaite. But his exuberance is “fun to watch.” I bet “Alec Baldwin will appreciate the material for his next Perry impersonation. Look, “we’re not saying that he’sdefinitely drunk,”says Max Read atGawker, “we’re just saying, watch the whole thing” and judge for yourself. Have a look:

Well – the Freeperati have been aching for a full-on police-thug beatdown, and Zucotti Park looked like the best venue to get their vicarious (because none of them have the guts to try it themselves) beatdown of the DFHs.

Premature ejection was what they were hoping for – what they got was:

Occupy Wall Street park cleaning postponed, averts showdown
CNN ^ | 7:35 AM EST, Fri October 14, 2011 | By the CNN Wire Staff

Posted on Friday, October 14, 2011 7:13:55 AM bylwd

New York (CNN) — A cleaning planned for the Manhattan park where “Occupy Wall Street” protesters have camped out for weeks has been postponed, a move that averts a showdown between demonstrators and police.

The New York mayor’s office said Brookfield Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park, told the city late Thursday the scheduled cleaning is off for now and “for the time being” they are “withdrawing their request” made earlier in the week for police assistance during the cleaning operation.

“Our position has been consistent throughout: the City’s role is to protect public health and safety, to enforce the law, and guarantee the rights of all New Yorkers.Brookfield believes they can work out an arrangement with the protesters that will ensure the park remains clean, safe, available for public use and that the situation is respectful of residents and businesses downtown, and we will continue to monitor the situation,” Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said

Cleaning? The libs I’ve seen at these protests react to shampoo and to soap like vampires with garlic or a cross. They’d rather sleep or sit on the little “presents” that their friends leave on the grass (and occasionally on police cars) than experience cleanliness.

I on the other hand, hve just experienxed brainlessness.

You know, there aren’t any showers in public parks, asswipe, so people leave to clean up and rest, then return, in an unending cycle.

You, however, can never scrub off the stink of stupid no matter how hard you might try.

Census count finds decreasing white population in 15 states
The Washington Post ^ | Thursday, September 29, 2011 | Carol Morello

Posted on Thursday, September 29, 2011 9:50:38 PM byMinorityRepublican

Non-Hispanic whites are a dwindling share of the U.S. population, with their numbers dropping in the Northeast and Midwest and growing only modestly in the South and West, the Census Bureau said Thursday.

Whites declined in 15 states, almost all in the industrial and farming states from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania, and from Kansas to Ohio. They also declined in California and three Southern states, including Maryland.

A Census Bureau analysis of the 2010 count showed that the number of non-Hispanic whites rose over the decade from 194.5 million to 197 million, but the 1.2 percent growth rate fell far short of the national increase of 9.7 percent. Non-Hispanic whites are now 64 percent of the population, down from 69 percent a decade ago.

The census also reported that the black population grew by 12 percent. African Americans now make up almost 13 percent of the population, a small increase over the decade. More than half, 57 percent, live in the South, up from 55 percent a decade ago. And six out of 10 blacks live in 10 states, including Virginia and Maryland.

The census analysis of the nation’s white and black population underscores the transformative nature of growth in the 21st century. The number of Hispanics and Asians is soaring, the number of blacks is growing slowly and whites are almost at a standstill.

Sarah Palin to Announce Today on Bob&Mark Show?
HillBuzz ^ | Sept 16, 2011 | HillBuzz

“The Bob & Mark Show” broadcasts out of Anchorage, Alaska, with hosts Bob and Mark on KWHL.[Click here for a link to their site, where you can listen to the broadcast LIVE! ] In the final episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” on TLC — which Governor Palin herself produced and had complete creative control over — the Governor promised to let Bob and Mark know, on the air, when she decides to run for president. Since the Governor personally chose to have that bit included in the episode, there has to be a reason for this. “The Bob and Mark Show” broadcasts Monday through Friday.

“Well, I can say that there are definitely two things that will never happen. 1) Banner ads. 2) Oracle [a completely new database system.] And a third is a total replacement [of the current damaged system.] Don’t have the financial wherewithal.”

“To those who wish to leave because of it, see ya.”

“If FR dies, that’s that.”

[To: paulycy]

Hey, you want us to get an all new system with all new software and add a few more pricey techs, system programmers and database administrators to keep it all working 100% of the time 24/7/365? Well, start coughing up the big bucks.

It’s going to take tens of thousands of donations and many with at least three zeros each after the comma to accomplish the task. And that would be EVERY month like clock work to make the payroll. Once you take on a big load of expensive overhead, there’s no going back.As it is, we get a couple thousand donations per quarter averaging about $30 bucks each and there’s no guarantees we can cover this quarter’s expenses much less next quarter. We’re on a pay as we go system and we have zero employees.We just ask for enough to pay the bills.

Throwing more money at the problem won’t solve it. [This latest glitch] was a technical issue and we just had to keep troubleshooting until we found it. And no, we’re not going to invite a bunch of strangers in to get their hands on our secure systems. John has been programming since he was 14 and he’s pushing 40 now. He built these systems and he’s an expert in them.

And no, we are not going to throw out our software and rewrite it and no we’re not going to move on to some other database system. There are no guarantees that any other system can do a better job and not without hiring a staff to build and maintain it and that’s for sure. And we don’t have the financial wherewithal to do any of that anyway. Maybe if we had a couple million bucks at our disposal and a couple years to do it in we could build an iron-clad system. And maybe not.

All I can say is, if someone else can do it better and cheaper, then please step right on up and get ‘er done!! I’ll bow out and retire. Thankyouverymuch.

Jim is the owner of FR. We are merely donors.The problem comes in that we *feel* like shareholders in a company and should have the rights of shareholders. But we don’t. That’s the rub. We don’t have a right to know what Jim knows because FR is his private property and not *our* company.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you all to double up on iso suits, gloves, and booties. It’s a mess in there.

Here’s what passes for soul-searching in Freeperville:

Not “Should we quit screaming hate at public servants?”, but rather “This wouldn’t have been so bad if numerous people in the crowd had pulled out their own handguns and started blazing away!”

Let’s face it, if this had been a Republican event-VANITY

If this had been a Republican event in Tucson today there would have been just one death, the gunmen. Several in that kind of a crowd would have pulled their weapons and aeriated him immediately.

Leftists! You started this war and one of your own contiunued it today.

You’re not a son of Reagan, you’re a son of a bitch – and a stupid one, at that. This isn’t a fucking movie. If five people pull handguns in a crowd of people and attempt to shoot one of them, two things will happen:
1. More then half the shots fired will miss, hitting bystanders, and the other would-be heroes.
2. The bullets thatdo hit the shooter will overpenetrate and hit bystanders, and the other would-be heroes.
But hey – it works in the movies, so what the hell.

Can you imagine what would have occurred had this been Sarah Palin? Outside of the jokes that would have been made of course. They are quick to blame the Tea Party, who are as docile as 55 yr old white folks that the MSM bill as terrorists. What worries me is that some smart ass Liberal Attorney will have this guy change his story and have him confess to being on the Tea Party payroll. With the current AG I have a greater worry that something will be covered up.

After all Dems did relinquish control of the House…and in January of 2013 if those on the right are able to convince enough people to vote accordingly, Obama will also relinquish control …and no “war” is called for

O’Donnell calls extending jobless benefits a ‘tragedy’

Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 11:28:19 PM byNachum

Christine O’Donnell on Tuesday compared the “tragedy” of extending unemployment benefits to Pearl Harbor and the death of Elizabeth Edwards. “Today marks a lot of tragedy,” O’Donnell, (Snip) “Tragedy comes in threes,” O’Donnell said. “Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards’s passing and Barack Obama’s announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits.”

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Wha hoppen?” Edition

Good morning everyone – the Freeperati have been getting callouses patting thenselves on the back for their recent run of good fortune – but lately, somehow, it’s all gone terribly wrong.

Much like a child who has been enormously successful in finding where the ladder is stored, and finding just the right towel to tie around his neck for a cape, the Freepers have climbed to the top of the house, and are very pleased with how their “fly like Superman” plan has been going.

And then, in the last few weeks, they jumped, and reality / gravity took over.

Let’s suit up, open the airlock, and see what the landing looked like.

Jury Convicts Army ‘Birther’ Who Refused Deployment to Afghanistan

A military jury has convicted an Army doctor who disobeyed orders to deploy to Afghanistan because he questions President Obama’s eligibility for office.

“I’m hoping he gets to appeal or gets to simply choose retirement at his highest completed grade.”

I think Lakin is glad I’m a retired O-5, not an active duty O-6 on the CM.

“MAJ Dobson, the doctor who had to replace LTC Lakin on short notice, testified next. He recounted how two days after arriving in theatre, the unit suffered a mass-casualty attack, with sixteen wounded. He said that he was not, in his opinion, as well-prepared to deal with the attack as he would have been had he had longer to prepare for operations at the FOB. The defense suggested on cross that the deployment was probably a good career opportunity for the major personally.”

I’d be thinking maximum penalty right about now…and a Lt Col shouldn’t be as STUPID as Lakin.

If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-Constitution and you’ll get the zot from FR!
Jim Robinson

Posted on Saturday, December 18, 2010 1:33:01 PM byJim Robinson

A couple more posters got zotted today.

Guess we need another reminder:

“of how insanely and hysterically homophobic I am…”

If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution

“Cause there isn’t anything in the Constitution about fags. I checked twice.”

and you’ll get the zot from FR. Homosexuals already have the same “rights” as everyone else.

Dontcha love how this fuckstick putsrights in quotation marks? Like it’s a word that doesn’t really exist?

God did not grant and the constitution does not guarantee homosexuals any special rights.

“And that goes double for Negros. As a matter of fact, the Constitution doesn’t say anything about women, either, so fuck ’em. The words are:all men, not “All fudgepackers”, or “All whiny bitches”are created equal.”

In fact, the homosexual agenda is a full frontal attack on OUR God-given, constitutionally protected rights to free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, Life, Family, Marriage, Pursuit of Happiness, etc.

You forgot the troops, home schooling, and Mom’s apple pie.

I don’t want it on FR and won’t have it on FR.

Like abortion, if you support the homosexual agenda on FR, your account here will be zotted!

Abortion supports the homosexual agenda on FR? Who knew?

I worked with a lesbo ( old bag with many mental problems..go figure ) and we got into an argument about fag rights…she said it was not right that her “partner” could not automatically inherit her crap because they could not be legally married. I told her that my wife is not guaranteed my crap if i die and do not leave a will. It would have to go through probate. I told her to do what married people do, and make up a will and durable power of attorney. She thought that was too much to do, and never bothered me again…out of the thousands of fags I have met, only a handful can be remotely considered to be real humans...the rest are mentally deficient, with large amounts of emotional baggage

They’re just a bunch of self-hating little cruds and I can imagine what they’ll do for military morale.

I can’t see their crap being tolerated by tough soldiers and Marines in combat zones. I hope the matter can be dealt with on a personal level, if you know what I mean.

Salma Hayek talks about her humble beginnings, her former undocumented immigrant status and her charity projects in the new issue of V Magazine Spain, where the Mexican actress seductively poses for the cover titled “A Woman’s Weapons.”

Hayek’s involvement with women’s issues has distinguished her in Hollywood. Her advocacy includes promoting awareness programs about violence against women and on the rising discrimination against undocumented workers.

“I was an illegal immigrant in the United States,” Hayek said during the interview. “It was for a small period of time, but I still did it.”

Sarah Palin Is ‘Engaged In The Internal Deliberations’ About A Presidential Run
ABC News ^ | Nov. 17, 2010 | MARY BRUCE

Posted on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 10:51:32 AM bykingattax

New York Times article details Palin’s political machine.

Sarah Palin has clarified for the first time in a newly published interview that she is seriously considering a presidential run.

“I am,” Palin told New York Times writer Robert Draper when asked if she was weighing a run in 2012. “I’m engaged in the internal deliberations candidly, and having that discussion with my family, because my family is the most important consideration here.”

In a personal profile to be published in the upcoming New York Times Magazine, Palin said her decision would involve “evaluating whether she could bring unique qualities to the table,” admitting the biggest challenge would be proving her record.

Whoa…this article gives me great hope! And man, it sounds like she’s VERY SMART to me. Her instincts are brilliant, and those who underestimate her do so at their peril.

You say she’s “unelectable”…? yeah and you said Bristol couldn’t dance…How’d that work out for ya?

She lost.

If you think about the whole picture Palin is the only one that would notcowtail to the global agenda.

Oh, my.

She will be bashed in the media because of this.

I think her show with Greta on drilling in Alaska makes Palin brilliant in exposing the “protect wildlife” bogus liberal story and vital to our economy.

I hope she runs and I pray she can win. She needs to do something to appeal to the independent voter that even the media can’t spin.

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – jive turkeys edition

Good Monday morning, all! Let’s get suited up and hit that airlock door – there’s tons of malformed Freeper “philosophy” to decant and examine.

First up –Harry Potter – tool of the Devil!

Harry Potter is Dangerous for Both You and Your Children
Mary Immaculate Queen ^ | 12-16-01 | Fr. Casimir Puskorius, CMRI,

Posted on Monday, November 22, 2010 12:08:57 PM bymlizzy

Adapted from a Sermon of Fr. Casimir Puskorius, CMRI, 3rd Sunday of Advent, December 16, 2001

On the First Sunday of Lent every year, we read in the Gospel of the devil tempting Our Lord. First he tries to tempt Him to gluttony, and Our Lord resists. Of course, Our Lord, because He is God, cannot be inclined to sin. But the devil, not knowing that, first tries to tempt Him to gluttony, and then to pride and power and materialism. He says to Our Lord, “Why don’t you throw yourself off this high elevation? God will save you.” Our Lord refuses. Then the devil pulls out his trump card. He shows Our Lord all the glory of the world and says, “I will give all this to you, if you will just bow down and worship me.” Of course, Our Lord refuses again. What the devil was saying here, in a sense, was “I’ll give you magic to do something that is not morally right, but it’s something you would enjoy.”

It should be evident to us, my dear parishioners, that the devil is after each one of us, tempting us in similar manner to sin and to pride. These temptations take different forms, so we must be on our guard. The devil is trying to tempt us away from serving God, from obeying God’s commandments. He is so crafty, so subtle, that often you don’t even know, unless you are very careful, how he is insinuating himself.

I believe it my duty to talk to you today about a series of books and its accompanying movie because I believe that they contain an insinuation of pride and ungodliness. I think you know what I am talking about: the Harry Potter series. I will speak both about the books and the movie, because if one reads the books, he will want to see the movie, and vice versa. I believe there are some real problems here, real spiritual danger — possibly grave spiritual danger. I will explain why. Believe me, I have refrained from saying anything about this for a long time. When the books first came out, I began to gather information on them. I wanted to analyze them to see whether or not they were good for children to be reading, and to write an article forThe Reign of Mary. I haven’t said anything up to this time because I wanted to study the matter, rather than say yes or no before I knew what I was talking about.

Let me also preface this explanation by saying that I speak now from the consciousness that one day I will have to answer to God for how I accomplished my duty to instruct you in matters of faith and morals. I certainly believe that there are matters of faith and morals involved in this particular matter.

The first problem I would like to point out are the words that are so casually used in the books and in the movie, words that are so casually used that children may start using them — yet these words are matter of mortal sin. Specifically, I am referring to such words as: sorcery, witchcraft, casting spells, communicating with the dead (necromancy). The Catholic Church very clearly tells us that these are mortal sins, and they must not be presented as though they are something permissible to try. I believe it is the devil trying to insinuate himself through the medium of human beings, trying to draw us away from Christ. These are not your usual Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Remember that children do not have the same critical ability that adults have. They read fantasy much differently than we do: they read it in a believing way.

I try to avoid saying any of his last names, whether Soetoro or the one he used in taking the Oath of Office to assume power over our country, and I have never used the title “president” for a community organizer who is even less deserving of the office than Carter, Nixon, or James Buchanan.

Bush Recalls Graphic Pro-Life Moment: Mom Showed Me Her Miscarried Fetus in a Jar
The Blaze ^ | NOVEMBER 8, 2010 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on Monday, November 08, 2010 2:59:18 PM byRobinMasters

Over the last week, excerpts of George W. Bush’s Monday-night interview with NBC’s Matt Lauer have shown a candid former president. But if a new excerpt obtained by the New York Post is any indication, the George W. Bush we may see tonight isn’t going to hold much back, and it could get graphic.

According to the Post, Bush will recall a detailed story about what set him down the path to becoming pro-life. That story includes his mother, Barbara, preserving and showing a young George one of her miscarried fetuses. From the Post:

As several freepers point out, and as mentioned on earlier threads, Barbara Bush put the miscarried fetus in a jar to bring it to the hospital, in hopes that they could figure out what went wrong.

But it seems very strange to me that a mother would show it to her small child. That is strange, indeed

RINOs behind defeat of Tea Party candidates (Vanity)

Posted on Thursday, November 04, 2010 11:18:47 AM byJimWayne

Don’t blame the Democrats for the defeat of Christine O’Doneell and Sharon Angle. The RINOs have worked hard and worked WITH the Dims to make sure that the Tea Party candidates would not win.

In Delaware, it was Karl Rove who opposed O’Donnell. In Nevada, it was a state level RINO who supported the Democrat. In Alaska, RINOs have done everything to prevent Joe Miller from winning. You can be sure that Ken Buck must have been done in by RINOs like Karl Rove.

A suggestion to hit back at them – deny RINOs the right to post on FR. If anyone brings up the claim that it is better to support a “winnable” anti-life and pro-spending candidate instead of a Tea Party candidate, how about showing zero tolerance and kicking them out instantly even if they have been around for 10 years.Surely, GOP officials use FR to their benefit. Why not pay back in their own coin? If they don’t support us, why should we support them?

To: JimWayne

It seems there may be a hitch in your hypothesis. Who is the one to determine what defines a RINO? Given there is really no concrete list of what the Republican platform is other then the ambiguous list of smaller government, increased security, and less intrusion, very few can agree on what that actually entails. The tighter that list is defined the fewer there will be that can be included under the Republican banner.

Why, as a matter of fact, he does have a list. You’ll see it below the jump.

That, in essence is the struggle that the Republican Party has today. Even organized religions cannot come to a strict common ground on homosexuals, gays, or abortion that all within those religions can agree on let alone act in a cohesive manner on.

We could end up with such a small number of who we believe should be included in the Party that we are totally nullified as a group.

Stomp Victim Lauren Valle: Attack Was “Premeditated”
The Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, October 26, 2010 | Greg Sargent

Posted on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 9:38:34 PM bykristinn

The MoveOn worker who was attacked by Rand Paul supporters has now spoken out about the assault, claiming she was “injured,” “in severe shock,” and that she has no doubt that the attack was “premeditated.”

She also vowed “further legal action.”

Lauren Valle, who was dragged to the ground and had her head stepped on during a scuffle outside last night’s Kentucky Senate debate, detailed the attack in a conference call with several reporters. She described it as being at least as bad as the footage suggests.

“My memory of it is sort of that of a traumatized person,” she said. “I distinctly remember a blow to my head.”

“Racist” Email Flap Blows Up Virginia Beach GOP
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/racist-email-flap-blows-up-virgina-beach-gop.php ^

Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 11:50:29 AM byIntolerantOfTreason

Virginia Beach is the biggest city in Virginia, and the hometown of the state’s current Republican Governor, Bob McDonnell. Now it’s also home to the latest example of a racist email forward destroying a prominent conservative’s political credibility and possibly career.

As the progressive Blue Virgina blog reported Monday — and I independently confirmed from one of the recipients Tuesday — Virginia Beach Republican Party chair Dave Bartholomew forwarded a racist email comparing African Americans to dogs. The email, subject line “my, dog,” consists of a racist parable about African Americans and welfare. In the first 24 hours since the email came to light, Democrats condemned Bartholomew and he resigned his position with the Republican Party.

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Taking their country back” Edition

Good morning, gentle people – well, I’ve been putting it off for a while, but there’s a stack of Freeper mental sludge drums with “taking their country back” stamped all over them. I’ve had Kibitzer and Adrastos put up some extra plastic sheets on the walls in case any of the toxic Freeper waste splashes out when we open them. (Looks like Dexter’s hobby room in there.)

Let’s crank up the blowers, suit up, and crack that airlock door, shall we?

First up – I think we have the Freeper “We’re not racists” thing in its true perspective, because nothing says tolerance and inclusion like wanting to shoot someone with the wrong skin colour because you don’t like the way they dress.

Pants On Ground Prompts Bullet In Butt
The Smoking Gun ^ | October 4, 2010 | Staff

Posted on Monday, October 04, 2010 12:14:15 PM by50mm

Incensed when two teenagers ignored his demands to pull up their saggy pants, a Memphis man allegedly shot one of the youths in the back, according to police.

Kenneth Bonds was arrested Saturday night and charged with two counts of aggravated assault and jailed on $25,000 bond. Bonds, 45, is pictured in the mug shot at right.

Investigators contend that Bonds admitted to shooting Cameron Tucker, 17, following a September 25 argument on a Memphis sidewalk. The teenager was accompanied by Isaac Taylor, a 16-year-old friend.

Tucker told cops that he and Taylor were walking to a candy store when Bonds “began yelling at them to pull their pants up,” according to a Memphis Police Department arrest warrant affidavit. “Bonds got angry when Tucker and Taylor refused and that’s when the three got into a heated argument,” reported police.

At that point, Bonds allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the older boy. The shot missed, but as the boys fled, Bonds continued firing at them. One bullet hit the 17-year-old in the buttocks and exited through his thigh (the boy was treated for the wound at two different hospitals).

A witness, Percy Chalmers, told cops that he saw Bonds “pull a large black semi auto handgun from his waist band” and fire several shots. Both Tucker and Taylor were able to identify Bonds in a photo spread prepared by Memphis police.

When contacted by phone, Bonds reportedly “admitted to shooting Cameron Tucker after an argument,” according to the police affidavit. Bonds was scheduled to be arraigned this morning on the felony counts.

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Here comes that mailin’ Palin” edition

Morning, all – the pre-election hysteria has been ramping up at Free Republic, and the snarling and back-biting have become a thing of wonder. I really wonder if these jerkoffs growl and hiss their way through life like they do when then they think no one’s watching.

When a black co-worker comes by, do they call him or her a racist because they’resure the co-worker voted for “Obummer” or “the Kenyan”, or whatever sixth-grade-levelnom de Freep they favour this week?

Does spittle fly from their lips and anoint the inside of their windshields as they curse the latest fauxrage talk radio is pouring into the empty vessel of their minds?

When their relatives (concerned about the Freeper’s mental health) say they hope the Freeper is getting some sleep, do they growl “How’s that hopey-changey thing working out for ya??” at them?

Oh well, I’m here to mock them, not feel sorry for them. So – here we go!

Palin Camp Suspects Huckabee Loyalists on Joe Miller Staff Behind E-Mail Leak
The Other McCain ^ | Oct. 5, 2010 | R.S. McCain

Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2010 6:37:47 PM byAl B.

“This is the worst sort of betrayal I’ve ever seen,” one source close to Sarah Palin said in describing the leak of an e-mail that Todd Palin sent to Joe Miller, the Alaska GOP Senate candidate.

Are you sure she wasn’t describing Miller?

The source noted that some of Miller’s campaign staff have connections to 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, and suggested that these staffers have been advising Miller to distance himself from Palin.

It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that her approval ratings are hovering at around 20%, could it?

Based on information in a post by notoriousAlaska anti-Palin blogger Jeanne Devon, one pro-Palin source in Alaska deduced that the leak could only have come from Miller’s staff — unless Miller himself leaked the e-mail.

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

The original HuffPo piece is at the link in the text of the excerpt.

Looks like Todd was upset about Joe Miller’s interview with Fox News Sunday and let him know privately. Some POS in the Miller campaign leaked several emails to the anklebiters. R.S. McCain seems to be confirming the emails are real.

I thought they would wait until Nov. 3 to start the war on Sarah.

Geez – I may have to take another hiatus – just woke up from a dream where I was attending a Congressional inquiry meeting, Tony Stark-style, except they were gonna take me out afterwards and shoot me.

A Steve-King-style wingnut was talking wingnut crap, and irritated me enough that I started riffing on him MST3K-style into my mike, and ended up unmasking him as an alien(a real extraterrestrial, not the kind Meg Whitman gets caught employing), yanking off the wig and sunshades on camera, and then vaporizing him with his own ray gun.

It got weird after that.

Fake pimp from ACORN videos tries to ‘punk’ CNN correspondent
CNN ^ | Sept 29 2010 | Scott Zamost,

Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 11:03:07 AM byworst-case scenario

Lusby, Maryland (CNN) — A conservative activist known for making undercover videos plotted to embarrass a CNN correspondent by recording a meeting on hidden cameras aboard a floating “palace of pleasure” and making sexually suggestive comments, e-mails and a planning document show.

James O’Keefe, best known for hitting the community organizing group ACORN with an undercover video sting, hoped to get CNN Investigative Correspondent Abbie Boudreau onto a boat filled with sexually explicit props and then record the session, those documents show.

The plan apparently was thwarted after Boudreau was warned minutes before it was supposed to happen.

“I never intended to become part of the story,” Boudreau said. “But things suddenly took a very strange turn.”

O’Keefe is best known for making a series of undercover videos inside ACORN offices around the country in 2009. The 40-year-old liberal group was crippled by scandal after O’Keefe and fellow activist Hannah Giles allegedly solicited advice from ACORN workers on setting up a brothel and evading taxes.

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

Put aside your natural dislike of CNN … and read this story. It’s hilarious!

What’s really the best part is O’Keefe’s written plans for this “CNN Caper.” http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2010/09/specials/cnn.caper/index.html

O’Keefe needs to take a step back and re-think his approach to this work. He chalked up a nice hit his first time out of the box, but it has been downhill ever since.

No idea what these asshats at CNN are alleging … but it seems little weird that they would devote all this, air time and all the other resources to say that there was a “plot” to try to seduce a CNN reporter. Why? What would that have proved?

That wingnuts are stupid and blinded by their own ideology?
They are getting pretty desperate over at the Communist News Network.

“almost highhandedly” … if you include Breitbart, several skillful tape editors, and the entire FNC apparatus.

I wonder if Fox will cover this fiasco – and how they will explain it.

Hey, FOX – you used to have this nincompoop on fourteen times a day. Wha hoppen? How did he suddenly become an unperson?

Maybe O’Keefe should just do a reality show on MTV, one the follows him around while he works out these brilliant schemes. Call it “O’Keefer Madness.”

Krauthammer: Palin endorsing O’Donnell is destructive
therightscoop ^ | 09/13/2010 | therightscoop

Posted onMonday, September 13, 2010 8:46:54 PM byRational Thought

Actually, he said it was capricious and destructive and he called Demint’s endorsement of O’Donnell irresponsible. Wow!

Video @ link.

Krauthammer has never liked Gov. Palin, but now also criticizing Jim DeMint?

Krauthammer is making the argument that a Liberal Republican is better than no Republican. Well, Krauthammer seems to have forgotten two Senators named Specter and Jeffords. They certainly worked out well.

The foregone conclusion that Castle is a “shoe-in” in the general is flawed. After the offensive smear campaign run against O’Donnell, I can’t imagine Tea Party supporters rushing to the polls to support Castle in the General Election, meaning, he would have to rely upon large support from Democrat voters.

On the other hand, O’Donnell could very well win the General Election with a highly motivated base in a smaller population state.

It certainly seems the battle lines have been drawn; The Tea Party versus The Establishment.

Krauthammer supported Moslem Obama (the undocumented one)
in the last election.

He falls in love with sociopaths who blind him, it seems.

Krauthammer’s error is that he’s a rich, crippled guy riding around in a motorized wheelchair

I thought that was a disability, not an error. Plus, he gets all the good parking spaces. Bastard!
~ while she’s a young single woman with problems with student debt, federal income taxes and a mortgage.

She’s not rich. But she has a current life experience that relates well to the current life experience of the rapidly growing class of former working or middle class people who have been driven to unemployment, bankruptcy and out of their homes.

The Kraut cannot relate to this at all.

I do believe the voters can and will understand that she, not the Democrat candidate, shares their concerns!

Anyone who mentions Krauthammer’s disability is way off base. What does his being in a wheelchair have to do with his judgment? Geez…

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Palin and pals, Edition IV

Good morning everyone! We’ve been neglecting Our Sarah lately for theWicked Witch Of The East, so let’s suit up, start the blowers, and see how the Sage Of Wasilla is faring on Free Republic these days.

Here we go!

Anyone rememberthis?

This photo of U.S. President Barrack Obama’s daughter Malia, wearing a peace-symbol t-shirt touched off a storm of epithet-laced comments on the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog

“A typical street whore.” “A bunch of ghetto thugs.” “Ghetto street trash.” “Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”

These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative ‘Free Republic’ blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama’s 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.

The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, “To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”

Though this may sound like the sort of thing one might read on an Aryan Nation or white power website, they actually appeared on what is commonly considered one of the prime online locations for U.S. Conservative grassroots political discussion and organizing – and for a short time, the comments seemed to have the okay of site administrators.

Well, I guess that this kind of thing only applies if it’s Obama’s kids.

Bristol Palin in Dancing with the Stars

Bristol Palin to compete on “Dancing with the Stars”
Fox News ^ | 08-31-10 | Associated Press

Posted onTuesday, August 31, 2010 10:14:02 AM byRedPriest73

The mother of “The Brady Bunch,” a former NFL quarterback, one of the self-proclaimed “guidos” from “Jersey Shore” and the daughter of Sarah Palin are among the celebrities who will cha-cha-cha on the 11th season of “Dancing with the Stars.”

Not sure how I feel about this…

Maybe since FOX snooze talked about it the onus is off?

To: RedPriest73

When are the gay activists going to target “Dancing With The Stars” so that we see same sex couples dancing? Don’t they have a rule that all couples must be boy/girl?

The gay activists successfully pressured “The Today Show” to include same-sex couples in a wedding contest. So I would expect that they will eventually target a show such as this, which has an “irrational, archaic” assumption that couples are opposite sex.

You know, I watched this show for one season, and found it moderately entertaining.

Now I think it is inane.

So is the idea of Ms. Palin appearing on the show.

Really stupid and bad idea.

You folks need to leave the girl alone. She is not Sarah and has the right to live her own life.

And we have a right to note that this is a show based on the idea of watching celebrities dance, and to wonder what makes Bristol Palin a “celebrity.”

Well, that’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? It’s because she’s the unwed mother of Sarah Palin’s grandchild. Being Sarah Palin’s kid is not sufficient. Being an unwed mother is not sufficient. But both…? It’s the combination makes her a celebrity.

A girl with any sense of propriety might wish to avoid that sort of attention.

I know how I feel about it…how can Sarah ask for privacy of her children when this one is such an opportunist on her Mother’s coattails?

If she were any other unwed mother, cheated on by her live-in boyfriend, she would be working at the 7-11 and her Mother would be at home watching the baby!

I guess this is what a Mama Grizzlie does for her cubs?
