Killgore’s links prove that some Tea Parties have problems, not that it’s an endemic to all. His continual snarky comments paints all in such light. He has an agenda, and that agenda is to taint all Tea parties as having supremacist and Paulian connections. I’m not alone in this observation/belief.

Without a complete list of the contributions from all the dealers it feels like a half-story that looks bad but could be nothing.

Please, hopefully it will clear some air on this. You’re not the only one here skeptical about this story. Personally, I think the “Dealergate” story is bogus.

Why would Michelle Malkin bring that up. It’s evident that she has nothing to say about the fascist connections to the anti-jihad movement.

And by the way, O’Reilly may have gotten it wrong by claiming that a “blogger” at Hot Air posted the quote he cited (it was a commenter) — but he wasn’t wrong about the over the top comments that often appear at Hot Air and Free Republic. They’re just as bad as any left wing site.

Did anyone else watch The Goode Family last night? It was a pretty good pilot, and it’s nice to see that Mike Judge has a new show on tv. Some of the humor was the shooting fish in the barrel type (it’s pretty easy to make fun of liberal, vegan environmentalists.)

I think it will get better, if it doesn’t get cancelled.

The family in the show has a dog named Che and they feed him vegan dog food.

re: #117 CyanSnowHawk

Without a complete list of the contributions from all the dealers it feels like a half-story that looks bad but could be nothing. At first glance I thought it looked pretty suspicious, but the questions came to mind pretty fast. What does the whole list of dealers contributions look like was the first.

It’s a very safe thing to lie about right now, there’s no way that Chrysler will release the how and the why of their picks simply because there might be suits to come over this, the sales numbers that the decisions were based upon are proprietary and confidential information, and releasing any facts about it is unlikely until a couple years down the line.

T-Bills are paying 1.5%?

The mortgage on my rental home is indexed on the T-Bill and adjusted this year to 3.5%. It is nominally 2.875% + current T-Bill on May 1st (0.6% this year) rounded to nearest 1/8th adjusted every year. That’s right, I have a mortgage at 3.5% right now. I think I’ll try to modify it and lock that rate for the life of the loan.

I watched Malkin on Fox this A.M. complaining about the MSM dissing Hot Air’s “dealergate” claim about BHO having Chrysler just shut down Republican dealers. The fact that Chrysler picked the dealers did not seem to affect her argument that the “story” was being buried.

In my political world choices were made exactly like that.

Same party friend
Other party friend
Same party foe
Other party foe

Look at other party foe and write the requirements so that he is less likely to meet them. Look at same party friend and write the requirements so that he is likely to meet them. This is a common and sometimes silently understood practice in government decision making. It happens daily. It gets cloaked to meet standards. If other party foe happens to jump all the hurdles and win, that’s acceptable business.

So I would look at the Chrysler decision makers and see how mallable they were to the Obama adminisration via the back door. More likely it’s the gerrymandering of private business decisions by the federal government.
