Agenda Bookstore hosts far-rightist for book signing

Agenda Bookstore last week granted floor-space to far-rightist Norman Lowell, for the book-signing event of his reprinted book ‘Imperium Europa’.

Carrying the boisterous tagline ‘The Book that Changed the World’, the book is described as a “radical response to the all important questions of the survival of the Europid race – that race of biological aristocrats that gave the world everything.”

Europid? Oh-kaaay…

Lowell’s book also includes forewords by right-wingers Tomislav Sunic and Constantin von Hoffmeister. Tomislav Sunic is an anti-Semitic author who collaborates with the racist Council of Conservative Citizens as well as the American Renaissance group. Von Hoffmeister is also a contributor to American neo-Nazi e-publication Stormfront.

Look for this book to become popular with certain crowds (and fjordman). Wonder if filip dewinter will pick it up this year when he starts hitting the nazi book fairs.

Had he apologized for misspeaking, his grades would have undoubtedly gone up.

Well, yes, it does. If you look at some of the videos of Gates that have been posted here, it is clear that he lapses into Ebonic ghetto trash-talk at the drop of a hat, and has racial grievance on constant simmer just below his feigned surface urbanity, waiting to boil out.

I wonder if The Won will weigh in on this story of genuine gross persecution as he did with his crony Gates: N.Korean Woman Publicly Executed for Handing out Bibles

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea publicly executed a Christian woman last month for distributing the Bible, which is banned in the communist nation, South Korean activists said Friday…

Ri’s parents, husband and three children were sent to a political prison camp in the northeastern city of Hoeryong the following day, the report said, citing unidentified documents it says were obtained from North Korea. It showed a copy of Ri’s North Korean government-issued photo ID.

It is virtually impossible to verify such reports about secretive North Korea, where the government tightly controls the lives of its citizens and does not allow dissent.

Cautionary tale on what happens when there’s a cult of personality - and people worship the leader:

North Korea claims to guarantee freedom of religion for its 24 million people but in reality severely restricts religious observances. The cult of personality surrounding national founder Kim Il Sung and his son, current leader Kim Jong Il, is a virtual state religion.

That mask has now dropped, and I think that a number of the folks who truly expected Obama to make good on his promise of leading the US towards a post-racial society are deeply pissed off at having been so blatantly had.

I wonder if they are deeply pissed off or simply trying to digest the dissonance. I do wonder - I suppose if I were one who bought into Obama being post-racial and i were clear minded, I’d be pissed. But so much of the last year has been a celebration of Obama himself and the members of the personality cult may need more to deprogram.

Obama may, in fact, move us to being a “post-racial” society despite himself.

Incidents like that of Gates, where Gates comes off badly and Obama worse for shooting his mouth off, work to destroy the threshold deference that grievance-mongering claims have been able to command for the last few decades.

By stepping on their own tongues, Obama and Gates may have unknowingly struck at the taproot of that deference.


it would be interesting if, out of this, there becomes a common vocabulary for identifying the various forms of race hustlers out there.

Racism is utlimately about intention, and intention is often revealed at impulse. A biggot in the public eye cannot “hide what’s inside.” Once there is a common notion that anyone of any race can be a biggot (eg “Gates is another version of Archie Bunker”) then we might get somewhere.

Interesting, indeed.

If I may refer obliquely back to my discussion of the Eastwood film Gran Torino earlier today, there is a scene there where Eastwood, intervening in a confrontation between some black “gangsta” types and one of the girls from his neighbor family, tells the young “wigger”-type she is with to get lost.

The “wigger”—a white kid trying to be “hip-hop street”—comes off looking like a complete fool when trying to cozy up to the black kids harassing him and his Hmong date.

Gates—who, in several of the videos which have been posted in links here, is seen using “street” expressions—comes off as if he were trying to prove his “badass street cred” with the police, while simultaneously trying to use his Harvard status and connections. He failed miserably—and, in his effort to be both Harvard and “street,” showed himself to be, weirdly enough, a “black wigger,” which is precisely what he was trying to prove that he wasn’t.

I do recognize that. There is a guy who works for me that was a sponsored gamer - he’d game in tournaments and even went overseas a few times. There is a skill there, no doubt.

But adopting the term ‘gamer’ struck me as a sort of attempt at social self-promotion by gamers. Kind of the way “Trekies” went on a smiology jihad and got everyone in the media to use “Treker” - like that made being a 35 year old dressing up in costumes and playing out fantasies in front of convention centers was an activity that needed greater social respect.

The other thing is this - what do gamers think of people who play Scrabble? Or Gin Rummy? Are they ‘gamers’ too? They play games. Or are do they occupy a different strata in the amusement caste system.

re: #171 Idle Drifter

Fragger is often used in video game slang for multiple player first person shooters for a ruthless gamer that has a high kill ratio. At least 5 to 1.

ID, my gaming abilities maxed out with Pong, but a 5 to 1 kill ratio sounds pretty impressive to me.

“Ruthless” always reminds me of an old movie-narration line, and I can’t remember which movie:

One of the men was tough, and ruthless. The other one was rough, and toothless.

re: #155 Pvt Bin Jammin

OMG, lizards, I had a long conversation with one of my sisters-in-law yesterday. She normally votes republican. I brought up the health care proposals and she as much as told me that I was getting as bad as her truther brother and spreading conspiracy theories. I was in shock and told her she’d better pay attention to this as it is currently being discussed in congress and with her health problems she’d better pay close attention. She called me a truther again and then said even if I was by some chance telling the truth that she has trouble emotionally dealing with those types of issues so she’d rather not pay any attention to it. Sad part is there are probably others out there who think like her.


Boldes are the words that probably motivate her viewpoint.

I can’t blame anyone who has ongoing health problems for wanting the government to make it all seem easy and take their worry away.

Not that the government can/will do that. I just can see why some people are intransigent on the subject. But with the current system, the healthy pay for the sick. In the proposed system, the healthy will still pay for the sick (as well as employ an new tier of government workers), but the sick will pay less.

re: #128 ShanghaiEd

A quick question for the assembled, as LGF is one of my few portals to the contemporary (i.e., people who are not old farts like me) culture:

In the supermarket parking lot today, a little sports car had the vanity tag FRAGGR.

In my experience, the only meaning of “fragger” is a military one, and it’s not something you’d necessarily want on your license plate.

What does “frag” and “fragger” connote among young people, nowadays?

Thanks for your help.

Ed - I found this “non-military” definition at the Urban Dictionary:
fragger 23 up, 3 down
Online gaming term, a killer, or to “frag”, used in First-person shooters
*Has just won a game*
Man im a pro fragger

You might want to bookmark the urban dictionary, as I have. I often need it.

Don’t know if you all saw his post on the overnight, but the prayerlist, given what he has to deal with right now, is a bit too much. He asked for volunteers.

yeah, I know you military guys. Never volunteer.

so I’m it. my nic is blue for the prayer list.

And if anyone has a problem with former lizards being on it - whether they are gone by choice or by the stick - don’t waste my time. Tell whoever you pray to that someone is not deserving.

Time for books, family and wine.

See you on the overnite.

Your quip reminds me of a cool story.

Colonel Henry Mucci, who led the daring raid to liberate the POW camps at Cabanatuan (which held emaciated survivors of the Bataan Death March), asked his Army Rangers to volunteer for the exceptionally risky mission. First, though, he told them that he would turn his back - and when he turned around, he would see who had stepped forward, but specifically let his men know that he would not look down on anyone for choosing to stay behind.

He turned his back as promised, and when he turned back around to look, they were in the same position in relationship to each other that they were before he had looked away…because not a single man opted to stay behind.

(Telling this from memory - hopefully I got it right. I just love that story.)

I’ve just finished a new feature for the LGF Blog — a “timeout” block, instead of a permanent block. It’s a temporary block on a registered lizard’s account that expires in 24 hours.

I did this to give us some more flexibility in handling the situation when discussions turn into flame wars or people’s tempers flare up. The idea is to give people a chance to cool down and think about whether they want to push it to the point of losing their account, before it gets there.

If your account gets a timeout, you see the message, “This account is temporarily blocked - please try again later,” when you try to log in.

Best idea on the bad club bouncer thing.

As soon as you get paid in, get one beer, walk over to the biggest most bad looking one of the bouncer crew.

Smile ask him to check how nice your teeth still are.

He will.

Then ask him, “If I get drunk and act stupid and you have to bounce me, just hit me in the stomach or just trip me and make me fall on my ass.

They will take care of that, and you get to keep your teeth.

One time I was in a cool basement rock club in Hawaii with my buddy George…He got drunk and told me me was going to kick the biggest guy’s ass…I’m pleading George for gods sakes no stop it..Nope..Who is the biggest guy here? Stop it George…And sure enough he walks up to some huge dude and said he wanted to kick his ass…He was slurring so bad and I’m going…don’t listen to him please! holding back George…It was so close to being a full on brawl… I took George home in a taxi..Asshole

I’ve just finished a new feature for the LGF Blog — a “timeout” block, instead of a permanent block. It’s a temporary block on a registered lizard’s account that expires in 24 hours.

I did this to give us some more flexibility in handling the situation when discussions turn into flame wars or people’s tempers flare up. The idea is to give people a chance to cool down and think about whether they want to push it to the point of losing their account, before it gets there.

If your account gets a timeout, you see the message, “This account is temporarily blocked - please try again later,” when you try to log in.

This is prudent and welcome.

I registered in February and it’s been disconcerting to see long-term contributors get banned after thousands of comments & karma points.

Our new Office Computer (Dell 540 Studio Mini Tower + 20” Screen) arrived on 7/22 between lunch and dinner. Pretty nice piece, runs well, made it dual-boot Windows Vista HP x64 and Ubuntu 9.04 Linux. Got a BIT skunked again on aesthetics. The screen is an “Ebony/Ivory” combo - adopting the current Apple “Look” - in the “ad” it was made to look Black/Light Gray. Got “skunked” similarly on a lost Pantech “Ice Cream Bar” Phone that was WHITE! rather than the Light Gray it appeared to be in the “ad.” Phone was GOOD - Color was weird, our employee lost it - Maybe He Didn’t like WHITE either. Perhaps Manufacturers/Distributors should be required to disclose the color “white.”

One can have any number of reservations about Palin herself and still be disgusted at the free-floating, deeply personalized hatred which these people exhibit. I think reading the comments is instructive.

Through the looking glass on YouTube


Clips from it have been featured worldwide — on CNN, MSNBC, the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh’s radio talk show — and catapulted the woman into the unlikely role as a spokeswoman for the “birther” movement, whose members question whether Obama is a native-born American and eligible to serve as president.

It wasn’t just people in the audience. Conservatives everywhere are applauding a crazy woman.

The star of the show — known as “Crazy Eileen” to callers of a Sussex County talk radio station — has gone into seclusion, declining interviews and avoiding publicity, even as previous statements by her have emerged referring to Obama as “the antichrist” and speaking of aliens and angels.

“She doesn’t want to be another ‘Joe the Plumber’ I think,” said Dan Gaffney, program director and morning host at WGMD 92.7 FM.

Mainstream Republicans who want the issue to go away are having a tough time stamping it out as the birthers resurface with assists from Limbaugh and CNN’s Lou Dobbs.

The gunman who killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., in June was a birther, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization which tracks hate groups and extremist activity. The center Friday called for Dobbs’ dismissal from CNN for his role in promoting the movement.

“This conspiracy theory was concocted by an anti-Semite and circulated by racist extremists who cannot accept the fact that a black man has been elected president,” SPLC President J. Richard Cohen wrote in an e-mail to supporters.

i think to make a crit bike race more interesting they should let loose a few hungry dobermans and/or a few boxes of thumb tacks. with out the crash during the final lap sprint it would have been rather dull remember if your not the lead dog or on the front of a tandem the view doesn’t change.

Gaza campers stage ‘Schalit abduction’ at final ceremony

Children in Hamas summer camps reenacted the abduction of IDF soldier Gilad Schalit in the presence of top Hamas officials, according to pictures obtained by The Jerusalem Post.

According to Israeli defense officials, more than 120,000 Palestinian children are spending the summer in Hamas-run camps. In addition to religious studies, the children undergo semi-military training with toy guns.

At a recent summer camp graduation ceremony, the children put on a show reenacting the June 2006 abduction of Schalit. Present was Osama Mazini, a senior Hamas political leader, who is in charge of the Schalit negotiations with Israel on behalf of the terrorist group.

/well, that ought to be worth another few hundred million, don’t ya think?

So you are making my point… the measure of a hockey is to get beaten half to death and avoid being hit by a damned piece of hard plastic.

In Ice Hockey the players will often not avoid the puck but dive in front of the shooter and sometimes at point plank range. So yes Ice Hockey is the tougher sport with some wicked goals, hits, fights, and saves.

re: #437 MrPaulRevere

I actually believe Scott Roeder here, Operation Rescue has a very strong motivation to lie.

Agreed. Roeder is a Simon-pure fanatic, but as Eric Flint wrote in a short story called Fanatic, “A fanatic is, in his own twisted way, an honest man.” Roeder knew the price he faced for what he did and did it anyways. That makes him a monster, but not a liar. The people at Operation: Rescue who egged him are like the suicide bomber recruiters who send dozens of people off to murder and die, while they justify their own survival by saying how important they are to The Cause. They make me want to vomit.

Teenage bombers are rescued from Taleban suicide training camps

…The Taleban turned to children as potential suicide bombers because they were impressionable, less likely to be detected, and better able to reach their targets.

“They are told that the Pakistani Army has become an enemy of Islam, as it is fighting for Christians and Jews,” said a senior official involved in the interrogation of potential suicide bombers who have surrendered or been captured.

On the day of a planned attack, the designated suicide bomber is taken to a mosque to be congratulated for being chosen by God. “Sometimes he is also heavily drugged before the attack,” the official said.

The children were told that they should not allow anyone, even their parents, to get in the way of jihad. “You must not hesitate even to kill your parents if they are on the wrong side,” said Kurshid Khan, 14, who was selected for training which could have taken him to South Waziristan. …

Anyone can step out onto a field with cleats on their feet and whack a round ball around with a short club. Ice Hockey has a steep learning curve with the finesse involved with skating, handling the puck, shooting or passing that puck and all the while avoiding the other teams checkers and sticks.

re: #404 MrPaulRevere

Somebody is lying (for Jesus no doubt): The Kansas City man charged with killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller said in an interview he was angry at a major anti-abortion group that he thought had abandoned him…In a phone interview Friday, Roeder said he was upset at the president of Operation Rescue, Troy Newman, who had condemned the killing and said his organization had nothing to do with Roeder…“He said that I never was a member and I never contributed any money,” Roeder said. “Well, my gosh, I’ve got probably a thousand dollars worth of receipts, at least, from the money I’ve donated to him.” [Link: www.kansascity.com…]

Good link, and interesting article showing the mind-set of this murderer.

The article you linked to had 3 pages, though, and the Tiller/Newman connection was only a small part of it. A paragraph or two down from what you quoted was this from Newman:

Newman said Friday he didn’t believe Roeder gave money to his group.

“We have a database, but I haven’t been able to find him in the database,” he said. “If he did (donate), we have probably over the past 10 years over 50,000 people who have contributed to us.”

He said Tiller’s killing had undermined the work of those trying to stop abortion through legal means.

“We’ve worked 20 years in the pro-life movement to do things within the system,” he said. “It certainly doesn’t help us out when guys assassinate abortionists in their church — or any other place.”

re: #384 buzzsawmonkey

Sorry, had to duck back in for one link: an MSM artist’s drawing of Sarah Palin. Not so much for the art, which is what we’ve come to expect of the MSM, but for the comments, which are mostly by artists who are top-line illustrators for the NYT, Time, Newsweek, etc.

One can have any number of reservations about Palin herself and still be disgusted at the free-floating, deeply personalized hatred which these people exhibit. I think reading the comments is instructive.

buzz: I agree, those are a downer.

I think your phrase “free-floating, deeply personalized hatred” really hits the nail on the head. I see the same type of over-the-top nastiness directed toward Obama, on any number of boards.

I don’t remember politics being this ugly, on either “side,” 30 years ago. Have things changed that much, do you think, or do blogs just concentrate the ugliness into a confined area?

Now that it’s out that the “your mama” comment was actually fabricated by Crowley based on his recollections of watching Good Times as a child maybe those numbers will change.

Where do you get that? Not from the link. Gates made an observation about the comment to a reporter… Crowley, and the police report (under oath) says Gates made the remark.

Are you kidding? Real hockey involves running about 5 miles a game, passing, trapping, dribbling and moving players into positions that put them at a disadvantage. Talk about steep learing curve… think of a game that is a cross between golf and soccer.

Run five miles with a 14 oz stick in your hand for 90 minutes while passing a ball and chasing other really well conditioned men who are dribbling the ball, and pass it to other really skillful players. by the way international games only allow two subs per 90 min game.
