Down the Memory Hole with Daily Kos (Again)

Sun, May 25, 2008 at 9:46:44 pm PDT

That Daily Kos diary wishing death and mutilation on people who won’t vote for Barack Obama has now vanished down the memory hole.

But this incredibly vile antisemitic diary remains: Daily Kos: Eulogy before the Inevitability of Self-Destruction: The Decline and Death of Israel.

Retrograde agitprop lead-ins, tired canards, unraveling yarns. The antisemitc Kos entry is littered with 'em. Everything from the Jenin 'massacre' and Cory Pancakes to the false and tired lie that Palestinians actually lost land from '46 to 2000 when in fact those deeds were willingly sold by palis(who had no right to them) and purchased by kibbitzees anyway.

The entire article is a corn riddled shit stain of willful doublespeak.

Oh No. They've posted another "nothin but a kid" Dkos diary

She looked at me with a look of fear and said, "this young man is going to be a Marine."

I turned from her and looked at the boy. He was about 5'8" and he couldn't have weighed more than 130 lbs. soaking wet. His blonde hair was trimmed to just this side of a buzz cut. His big blue eyes were shining with innocence. His face was smooth as a peach, just the slightest bit of fuzz starting to kiss his cheeks. "Jesus," I thought, "this kid isn't even shaving yet."

"How old are you?" I asked.

Once again, bleeding heart self- important liberal knows what's best for everyone else.

re: #20 MandyManners

The fact that they toss other threads down the memory hole shows that they have a tiny bit of conscience. Or at least they can see how others might be "too dumb" to understand their finely nuanced views and might take offense.
But this Israel diary. It's as if they have no doubt it's acceptable.
Actually, it's proof they have no doubt.
Or just, as you say, no conscience when it comes to this.

39 Intrepid  Sun, May 25, 2008 10:08:55pm

I read through that tripe - HOLY CRAP!

So Kos lets Nazi folk have a diary? Spewing that crap?

Sorry, didn't we defeat that shit back in 1945? With the blood of the honored WWII war dead?

So this is what 2008's Memorial Day is about - the death of common decency and common sense on the left.

My democrat father (who served in the Navy in WWII) would be turning over in his grave.

When someone tells me that Israel is declining and dying I know that they have never been there.

The country is thriving against all odds and it will continue to thrive.

The only reason Iran is still breathing is because the Israelis have a collective conscience.

Sometimes I admire them for that. Sometimes I think that is a bad thing.

Our only hope is a media blitz to tell them that sex is WORK. If we are successful they will cease to breed. On the plus side, given that 1/2 of America is Dem, and 10% are gay, we can deduce that 20% of dems are already non breeders, and the majority of the rest are prochoice, meaning that they don't reproduce nearly as much as they could.

Yahoo! I'm going to shoot me some Arabs!
Although I do appreciate your service in the "101st Keyboard Division", and all that you do to serve our great country, the fact is, you've really never done anything, other than set on your ass in front of a computer screen, to help the country, and holding a sign on some street corner, proclaiming your of support for your Guru, really doesn't count, in the grand scheme of things.
I will vote,and for a democrat, just not Saint O, and just because I'm not caught up in his fucking Hype, and slavishly devote my life to electing his lying ass, well, you get the picture.

re: #89 gop_patriot

I backed tracked Stroszek's comments and found links back to Won't vote for Obama? Then it's time to enlist.

I thought the links would be dead for sure, . . . but they weren't.

From there, it was just a little bit of climbing up and down the tree to see what there was still left to see.

"Terrible, execrable, atrocious. Shame on you."
"Anti-Semite!"
"History lesson? You're a moron."

This is the sappiest mess I've seen in a long time.

Sappy works as a description... Arrogant and condescending work too. Plus exaggerated, and possibly just plain filled with lies.

It's ridiculous:

She looked at me with a look of fear and said, "this young man is going to be a Marine."

Barf. Melodramatic sh*t.

And the idea that his eyes filled with tears when she implored him to not join the military but go to school to be a policeman* instead, is silly.

*I'm sure she has nothin' but love for policemen too

No worries. With your copy and mine, and with the magic of the wayback machine websites, that kind of stuff is always recoverable to some extent.

My grandfather said he was a rum runner here in Toronto during Prohibition. His sister pooh-poohed the story. She said that he was always up and downstairs for breakfast in the morning. Well a couple of years ago I found out where they were living at the time.

The old family home was about a ten minute walk from the nearest beach. Also Toronto had a large Distillery district in the downtown core. Which also happens to be close to the lake. When I told my dad all that he smiled a bit. We figure my grandfather would go out at night do the runs and be home in time for breakfast. After everybody left for the day he would go to bed.

I was always told that California, was the one to be pretty soon in orbit.
Of course with so many californians in Phoenix now-a-days, you never know.

I never imbibed much, just made me sleepy. Tried a pipe infrequently for awhile. Barely learned to load it properly. All that stopped after I'd accumulated enough Cardiologists to kick my ass good if I ever did those bad things again.

re: #412 Mars Needs Neocons

Didn't use to drink. Now maybe 3 a year. Didn't use to smoke, now can't get enough of cigars. And just bought a hookah today for the absolutely delicious shisha that they use. Also thinking of ordering some tobacco free shisha and seeing if that tastes as good.

I've cut sharply my rum intake in the last few years.
And I feel good drinking less.

As for smoking...
I smoke more than two packs a day...

Everybody who cares, scolds me for this.

Nah that's the hookah.

For cigars I reccomend looking at Acid from Drew Estate. Java (also Drew) and Helix Remix Cafe Royale.

For straight cigar smoking with no flavors or aromatics I reccomend La Flor Dominica Double Ligero Chisel (or chiselito), Cohiba Black (dominican), and Alec Bradley Maxx

(honorable mention to CAO Double Maduro)

I now have 6 months of non-smoking (after more than 50 years of 1+ packs a day) — not because I'm a goody-two-shoes, but because I've been diagnosed with emphysema! There are lots of tricks for making yourself cut back. If you're interested, click my nic, I will share them with you.

You already have. Do some research, go back a few days on here and gather the multi part reports on the Obamessiah. Tell everyone you know. Let people know, this man is not what he claims to be. Tell them the truth, the media won't bother to. This guy has been planted and groomed to be the first hardcore socialist/communist president. That is more dangerous than almost anything else I can imagine.

When the police chase someone into the neighborhood, we're just turning off the lights to see outside easier, and to not illuminate ourselves in the window.

The only folks that want change are the ones who aren't happy with what they're getting from the government now, or the leftists trying to show they "care".

LGF having fun with this one (0+ / 0-)
Not that anyone particularly cares, but LGF is posting this up as yet another incident of DKos troop hating. We all know it's not, and many of us tend to get upset at the thought of American soldiers dying in a war seemingly fought for the personal fortunes of the oil and war industry, not for any greater good.

Still, the gruesome section about being happy for sacrifice with shrapnel in one's intestines is perhaps a bit much. I would suggest more tact, less over-the-top detail which doesn't really communicate the message.

Of course, I see it both ways, people who take LGF and the like seriously are probably beyond redemption and our only hope is to marginalize the crazies and play this as a generational war, fighting for the minds of the children.

Although I do appreciate your service in the "101st Keyboard Division", and all that you do to serve our great country, the fact is, you've really never done anything, other than set on your ass in front of a computer screen, to help the country, and holding a sign on some street corner, proclaiming your of support for your Guru, really doesn't count, in the grand scheme of things.

While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a bottle on the sand and picked it up.

Suddenly, a female genie rose from the bottle and with a smile said,
"Master, may I grant you one wish?"

Osama responded, "You ignorant, unworthy daughter-of-a-dog! Don't you know who I am? I don't need any common woman giving me anything."
The shocked genie said, "Please, I must grant you a wish or I will be
returned to that bottle forever."

Osama thought a moment, then grumbled about the impertinence of the woman and said, "Very well, I want to awaken with three American women in my bed in the morning. So just do it and be off with you.

" The annoyed genie said, "So be it!" and disappeared.

The next morning Bin Laden woke up in bed with Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding, and Hillary Clinton at his side.

His penis was gone, his knees were broken, and he had no health
insurance.

Trivia:

To ease his boredom during his long exile in the Netherlands following World War I, former Kaiser Wilhelm II dabbled in gardening and mysticism, in 1934 publishing a book on Eastern religious symbology in which he pointedly noted that the version of the swastika used by Hitler and his Nazis stood for darkness, misfortune, and death.


Of course after losing the First World War the Germans may not have been willing to listen to Kaiser Willie.

My grandfather was named for the Kaiser -- his father had been an ardent Socialist in Germany during the Bismarck era and was one of those who thought that Willi would set things right. The dismissal of Bismarck seemed a good sign, but he became disillusioned as war approached. After WWI started, he anglicized his kids names (they were living in Chicago at the time) and refused to teach them German or speak it himself.

re: #570 The Other Les

Neither Clinton -- nor Obama or his spokesmen -- mentioned the concern about his safety, particularly among African Americans, that the reference to Robert Kennedy touched on. In a Washington Post-ABC News poll taken in March, nearly six in 10 Americans said they were worried that someone might try to harm Obama (Ill.) if he were the nominee -- more than double the percentage who said they were worried about the same for Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the presumptive Republican nominee.
Among African Americans, the concern was even greater: More than eight in 10 said they would be worried about Obama's safety, including 55 percent who said they would be "very concerned" (20 percent of whites said they would have that level of fear).


I was going to vote for Obama,

MPs call for personal carbon allowance


LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should consider giving individuals a personal carbon emissions allowance in order to help the country meet its CO2 emissions target, a report by a committee of MPs said on Monday.

Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee said the government had to reduce carbon emissions from individuals and households, as well as businesses and industry, if it was to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2050 as planned.

Introducing a personal carbon allowance -- whereby people would have to trade in credits if they wanted to exceed their own CO2 quota -- would be more effective and fairer than bringing in "green" taxes, the report by MPs said.

Personally, I think a plain old carbon tax would be better and much, much easier to implement, if one wants to reduce carbon emissions.

One thing that the folks with the carbon bug won't mention is that the quantity of carbon in the atmosphere has been decreasing over geological time and that someday in the distant future there won't be enough carbon in the air to support plant life on this planet.

So everyone who drives their SUV to grandma's house for the weekend is actually working to extend the useful lifetime of the Terrestrial biosphere.

Iran-Turkey gas flow halted after blast

TUNCELI, Turkey (Reuters) - The flow of Iranian natural gas to Turkey was halted early on Monday after an explosion hit a gas pipeline in eastern Turkey, Turkish energy officials said.

A senior military source in southeast Turkey, who declined to be named, told Reuters the blast was the work of the outlawed separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).

UPDATE 2-Oil rises above $133 on Nigeria, North Sea

LONDON, May 26 (Reuters) - Oil rose above $133 on Monday due
to lingering supply concerns from key oil producer Nigeria and a
partial shut-in at the North Sea oilfields.
[...]
Nigeria's army confirmed on Monday there had been an
explosion at an oil facility owned by Royal Dutch Shell
(RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research), hours after Niger Delta rebels claimed to have blown
up a pipeline.
Impact on output from the most recent blast was not
immediately clear.

Oil and gas infrastructure is very susceptible to terrorists.

My uncle was killed in Korea, my father calls last night asking if we'll ride up with him to his gravesite with him. Of course, I said I'd be honored to, and I'm driving. This is 10:30. Gotta get out of here by 9:30, it's a 1&1/2 hr drive.

I just find it disgusting that Google would celebrate dark hour with a blacked out page and can't find the slightest bit of patriotism to even post a Memorial Day page honoring those who protect their right to do so. Silence is so telling sometimes.

Mistakenly posted on the other thread:
'Nigeria troops die' in oil raid

Militants in the Niger Delta say they killed 11 soldiers during an attack on a pipeline in Nigeria's oil-rich area.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) said in an email to journalists that it had carried out the attack in Rivers State.
[...]
"Today's attack is dedicated to the administration of Umaru Yar'Adua and [Vice-President] Goodluck Jonathan who have failed after one year in office to ensure peace, security and reconciliation in the Niger Delta region," the email said.

Who said terrorists don't have a sense of irony?

Now, if every *business* that worked with them said they would no longer use Google, that would catch their attention. So what would be a better use of our time and energy is to get every business to stop using Google. But that will be hard to do, given Google's preeminence in the field.

The Battle of Guadalcanal, was fought between August 7, 1942, and February 7, 1943. Amazing! The battle ends in February, and before the end of the year, Hollywood has a movie out showing the incredible heroics & sacrifice of the US Marines.

666 goddessoftheclassroom  Mon, May 26, 2008 6:13:30am

re: #662 MandyManners

Do you know the origin of the saying "cockles of my heart"?

Here's one theory; while you read this, I'm going to check a book I have upstairs:

It’s one of the more lovely idioms in the language, isn’t it? Something that warms the cockles of one’s heart induces a glow of pleasure, sympathy, affection, or some such similar emotion. What gets warmed is the innermost part of one’s being. It’s not that surprising that it should be associated with the heart, that being the presumed seat of the emotions for most people. But what are the cockles?

We’re not sure. We do know that the expression turns up first in the middle of the seventeenth century, and that the earliest form of the idiom was rejoice the cockles of one’s heart.

Cockles are a type of bivalve mollusc, once a staple part of the diet for many British people (you may recall that Sweet Molly Malone once wheeled her wheelbarrow through Dublin’s fair city, crying “cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!”). They are frequently heart-shaped (their formal zoological genus was at one time Cardium, of the heart), with ribbed shells.

It may be that the shape and spiral ribbing of the ventricles of the heart reminded surgeons of the two valves of the cockle. But I can’t find an example of the word cockle being applied to the heart outside this expression, which makes me suspicious of this explanation. It may be that the shape of the cockleshell, suggesting the heart as it so obviously does, gave rise to cockles of the heart as an expansion.

After this piece appeared in the Newsletter, James Woodfield pointed out that there is another possible explanation. In medieval Latin, the ventricles of the heart were at times called cochleae cordis, where the second word is an inflected form of cor, heart. Those unversed in Latin could have misinterpreted cochleae as cockles, or it might have started out as a university in-joke. Oddly, cochlea in Latin is the word for a snail (from the shape of the ventricles — it’s also the name given to the spiral cavity of the inner ear), so if this story is right we should really be speaking of warming the snails of one’s heart.

re: #652 vxbushAh crap, {vxbush} - I sure hope the blood test shows you're anemic or something which is fairly easily treatable.
I've noticed over the last six weeks or so that you've been saying how tired and "blah" you've been feeling, but that doesn't mean it's anything as serious as cancer or whatever; maybe you just need a shot of B-12!
In any event, please keep us informed when you find out anything from your doctor, ok?

Damage assessment from the killer tornado in Iowa last night...

From the stormtracker forum:

I'll agree with you on this one. I TRIED to chase the big one, I started out at Waterloo airport and just fell in behind the monster. I only got to stay behind it for about 10 minutes before I started running into massive debris fields and lines down on Dunkerton road.

There were live lines down on the highway so I called BH county dispatch and let them know I was an off duty officer blocking traffic. A deputy showed up off duty in his car a little later and me and him started a 'rescue' mission, where we basically made it 4 miles in 3 hours attempting to get to every house we could checking for survivors and/or trapped people. I saw some very very nasty things today that I've never seen before.

[...] I was wearing my badge to ID myself and I kept getting dirty crying people coming up to me asking me to help them contact utilities and find their horses. As much as I am trained to help it was very hard telling people that unless a person was lost or hurt I had to move on and that it could be days if not weeks before utilities even came close to their areas.

More damage video from the DSM Register. Looks like quite a few places were just leveled.

Will do. I doubt it's cancer; that wouldn't make any sense, frankly. I have a hypothesis, but until the blood tests come back it's futile to speculate. I've had B-12 shots in the past. They didn't do much for me. Sitting out in the sunlight does more good!

But yes, once I get the results back, I'll let folks know. Watch, I'll call the nurse and she'll say, "All the results came back fine. We're just checking to see if you feel any better."

re: #683 MandyManners

I have no idea at what stage the movie is "in production". That could mean anything from still writing the script, to shooting, to adding special effects, to editing, to sitting on the shelf waiting to be released. Hollywood is a strange place.

The original book records the heroics & bravery of the US Marines, & the vicious evil of the Al Qaeda terrorists. But it also blames the Bush admin and the Pentagon for political interference and bungling (justly so, too!). My guess is Hollywood got interested in the project because it was seen as "anti-Bush", but they're still trying to edit out anything that might inadvertently make the US Marines look good and the enemy look bad. Can't have that.

I have no idea at what stage the movie is "in production".

In my business I've had the opportunity to mix with TV and movie people from time to time. From what they've all told me, in this context "in production" usually means the film has been finished but for reason someone "upstairs" doesn't like the finished product and will not release it until more (uneeded) edits are made. Sometimes they get made, sometimes the screenwriter and/ or director will hold fast. At that point, it's 50/50 weather it gets released.

I doubt I could live there. It's not that I'm not sturdy. It's that I'm chickenshit about getting sucked out of a closet and flung 200 feet.

re: #751 MandyManners

From what I can gather, about 12 hours before the event the SPC can do pretty well in targeting areas that are in danger... satellite observations, realtime ground-station reports do wonders in being able to pin down the boundaries between air masses, as well as figuring out where the mid level jets are.

Notice how well the various storm chasers have gotten in picking up where tornadoes are developing? With realtime data they have gotten to be quite good.

I remember when I was young... it was rare to get a good tornado photo because it was mostly a function of being in the right (wrong?) place at the right time.

Good or bad?

LONDON (AFP) - Britain's biggest trade union is set to announce a merger with a US counterpart to eventually create the first global labour organisation, a press report said Sunday.

The planned tie-up between Britain's Unite and United Steelworkers (USW) in the United States is designed to better protect workers against the effects of globalisation, the Sunday Telegraph said.

SNIP

The two unions view the merger as the first step towards a global union that could take in labour movements from the world's emerging markets in eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia, the report added.

The plans also reflect recognition among union officials in Britain and the United States that as a cross-border body they would be stronger in negotiations with multi-national companies, the Sunday Telegraph said.

Thousands in north Gaza without power after Palestinian truck bombing

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip: Palestinian officials say around 200,000 people in northern Gaza don't have running water or power.

Electric company spokesman Jamal Darasawi says there hasn't been any power since Palestinian militants from Islamic Jihad detonated a truck bomb at a nearby border crossing last Thursday.

The explosion cut two of the seven major power lines that come in from Israel. The Israeli army says it's trying to fix the lines, but it will take time because of security considerations.

Israel already restricts fuel supplies to Gaza to pressure Palestinian militants to stop their attacks. That has meant northern residents can't use electric generators or pump water from wells.

On Monday, an Islamic Jihad spokesman said the group didn't mean to cut off power but warned of more attacks.

Lovely. Let's give them a state!

The name of at least one US politician found on the FARC laptops has been released: it's US Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.)

What a surprise! A Democrat from Massachusetts! Go figure!

One of the documents shows that US Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.) (pictured), a leading opponent of the Colombia free-trade deal has been working with a go-between, who has been offering the FARC terrorists help in undermining Colombia's elected and popular government.
Colombia is America's closest ally in South America.

But, for some odd reason, this news that an American Congressman was reportedly communicating with FARC and working against America's ally Colombia has yet to be reported by the major media with the exception of the Wall Street Journal.

Here's a list of the days thus far in 2008 Google believed deserved a special logo. Apparently the 50th anniversary of Lego building blocks and Persian New Year are more important than a day honoring all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to enable the folks at Google to enjoy their way of living.

More on McGovern's contact with FARC terrorists:

A military strike three weeks ago killed Raúl Reyes, No. 2 in command of the FARC, Colombia's most notorious terrorist group. The Reyes hard drive reveals an ardent effort to do business directly with the FARC by Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.), a leading opponent of the free-trade deal. Mr. McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering the rebels help in undermining Colombia's elected and popular government.

Didya notice that the Obama Loving, Hillary Haters (otherwise known as the KOS kids) don't have one post on the front page in tribute to Memorial Day? While the Google decision is made, I'm assuming, by a handful of execs, KOS has 1000s of contributors and yet, not a peep.

A big thank you to our Veterans and their families (including my own) for their selfless sacrifice to secure our freedoms and protect our interests. And if KOS can't bring themselves to say it, at least we will.

re: #841 schlagerman

This has probably already been mentioned, but another Memorial Day, another slap in the face to all veterans from Google. No flag for this special day, nothing. Here's a list of the days thus far in 2008 Google believed deserved a special logo. Apparently the 50th anniversary of Lego building blocks and Persian New Year are more important than a day honoring all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to enable the folks at Google to enjoy their way of living. It sickens and saddens me, but alas, it is not unexpected.

The founder of Bauhaus merits a recognition?

Well that's just the worst of it for me. No one knew his name prior to, what? Last Christmas? One irony is that they have been using all the Republican talking points against Hillary. So as much as they despise the Repubs, they agree with their vitriol against her? What a bunch of hypocrites.

i'm cooking the childhood memory menu for this day. tater salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, hot dogs and nanner puddin'. that's it.
and i'm going to observe the minute of prayer at 3 o'clock that pres. bush has suggested, to honor our fallen heros.

These are the 300,000 plus land mines left over from the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Just want to point out that program was entirely financed by the US. No help from the old Soviets who laid them, (Russia) or our oil buddies, (Saudi Arabia). When the Democrats challenge what America has done for the world lately, remind them of this.....Demining completed

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
