NAACP Passes Resolution Condemning Tea Party Racism

Wingnuts • Views: 4,051

I’ve occasionally had differences with the NAACP, but in this case they’re absolutely right — it’s long past time for Tea Party organizers to take a stand against the significant racist element in their movement: NAACP Passes Tea Party Racism Resolution.

The resolution was approved in a vote by more than 2,000 delegates at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Kansas City.

Versions of the resolution condemned “explicitly racist behavior” in the Tea Party movement and called on people to “repudiate” what it described as racist elements of the Tea Party. The final text of the resolution has not yet been made available, however, and that language may have changed.

As the Associated Press notes, NAACP President Ben Jealous has said the Tea Party movement needs to “be responsible members of this democracy and make sure they don’t tolerate bigots or bigotry among their members.”

Members of the Tea Party movement vehemently deny that their movement is racist.

Note: every word in that last sentence is a link, and there were lots more.

The racist elements of the Tea Party movement are only one of their most visible problems, and maybe not even the worst. The influence of the weird Ron Paul paleo-libertarian cult is also a huge problem, the influence of extreme fundamentalist religious sects is another, and the influence of the John Birch Society and their offshoots is still another.

The Tea Party movement is a deeply destructive force in American politics.

They haven’t been viewing LGF, have they?

And this will have precisely *zero* impact on the Tea Party and their leadership pushing out the racists. The Tea Party organizers will continue claiming that theirs is not a movement based on racism and that they don’t condone such activities - all while gathering after gathering includes racist messages.

Who wants to bet on the tea party’s response?

Put me down for “We do try to cast out all racists who are members of the tea party. Sadly for everyone we turn away another liberal plant trying to make us look bad pops up!”

a vehement denial is the most convincing sort…yup, look it up

5 researchok  Tue, Jul 13, 2010 5:40:17pm

Best news of the day. Doing and saying nothing is not an option when it comes to racism.

When ugly elements in the TP purport to act in your name or purport to speak for you, there is an obligation to stand up and make very clear there is no place for them within your proximity or within the movement.

End of story.

Sad but true, my man, sad but true. You throw out the idiots, the racists, and those afflicted with ODS, and you’ll have twelve Libertarians standing around asking themselves “WTF happened to the Movement?”.

Not to the majority of their supporters, members, the voters that they appeal to. I may not matter what they look like if they get the support they are looking for.

Push back? Just pointing out this isn’t much of a stunner is it? Are you going to deny they said the same thing about the conservative in the last election cycle? Or the one before that? Or the one before that? How many times in a row does it have to happen before you won’t be surprised? Were you surprised when the NRA said the liberals were going to take away our bullets during the last 847 election cycles or are you still surprised?

www.cnn.com


During his keynote speech at the group’s 95th annual convention Sunday night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bond also assailed the Bush administration and the Republican Party, accusing the GOP of “playing the race card in election after election.”

The party appeals “to the dark underside of American culture, to the minority of Americans who reject democracy and equality,” Bond said. “They preach neutrality and practice racial division.”

Many black people are “ready to turn anger into action, to work for regime change here at home,” Bond said. “But they have to be asked. They have to be registered, organized and mobilized.”

Do I really need to post the Byrd ad they ran in 2000? I’m not denying there might be racists who are in the tea party movement but I’m not willing to give a broken clock credit for being correct 2x a day.

re: #44 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

You’ll have to answer that question yourself.

I know. The NAACP has racists. Therefore their resolution is what? Null? Perhaps someone can point me to an example of where the NAACP has so flagrantly tossed around racist imagery, speech and symbolism as some factions of the Tea Party. This so early in their existence.

Racism is considered a danger to society. Therefore, which would be more dangerous to the future of America? An advocacy group like the NAACP that may contain racist members or a political party like the Tea Party which could effectively impact laws and legislation of American.

This is especially apparent with Tea Party type candidates like Rand Paul who think that private entities have a right to discriminate according to race.

We have all seen the racisim in SOME* of the tea party participants.

We wasted almost 50 comment arguing over something that I think we mostly agree on… that there is unabashed publicly displayed racism coming from the Tea PArty, and that in general, there has not been much condemnation coming from the groups or individuals connected to the Tea Party.

For a group that claims there is no single hive controlling them, that each chapter is autonomous and that their opinions are as diverse as the groups, there is not much diversity on this issue.

Where is the complaints, where is the “outrage,” where are the inquiries, it’s almost as if there is no problem.

I’m not really picking on anybody in particular with that comment, just noting that the conversation has gone from a debate about a condition to a debate about a debate. Then one part hostility and two parts interpartisan historical comparison added to the mix, and you have a classic LGF pissing contest.

I vastly prefer the pissing contests to the hive-mind of many other political forums, where opinions are held as though they were axioms, mind you.

re: #72 Stanley Sea

the characters bio:

Cindy McPhearson (voiced by Tara Strong): A girl who originally appeared as recurring character in the comic strip. In the strip, Cindy is a girl in Huey’s class who is oblivious to racial issues. She enjoys rap music, especially Snoop Dogg. In the TV series, she appears as an extremely talented junior basketball player for her team, is well-versed (yet overblown) in AAVE, and is just as cocky as Riley. Riley soon resorts to insulting her mother and the problems related to her in Cindy’s life to put her off her game, which leads to her crying and running off the court. Appears in the episode “Ballin’” and “The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2”, in Season 2 and in Season 3 in the episode The Red Ball as part of the kickball team lead by Huey. In that episode, however, she doesn’t speak. She appears in and has a bigger role in the season 3 episode The Fundraiser as one of Riley’s partners in his chocolate enterprise. Her appearance in the TV series is similar to that of Cammy from the Street Fighter series.

And yes, she’s always angry, and a bit of a thug. Funny as hell tho’!

I have yet to see anywhere on LGF where Charles or anyone else has said that EVERY tea partier or EVERY tea party candidate is a racist. However, it has been HEAVILY documented that many of the tea party organizers themselves have seriously racist tendencies. Anyone who attends a tea party or runs as a tea party candidate needs to understand the kind of freight they are hauling whether them selves have a racist bone in their body or not.

I’m looking for where the NAACP accused John McCain of being a racist or that he supported racism. However, I haven’t found any yet. Perhaps they did and I can’t find it.

That’s just speculation on my part, but any candidate obviously must try to make the most of any opportunity for publicity, and to turn down the NAACP invite means turning down publicity.

97 Charles Johnson  Tue, Jul 13, 2010 6:21:27pm

The racist elements of the Tea Party movement are only one of their most visible problems, and maybe not even the worst. The influence of the weird Ron Paul paleo-libertarian cult is also a huge problem, the influence of extreme fundamentalist religious sects is another, and the influence of the John Birch Society and their offshoots is still another.

The Tea Party movement is a deeply destructive force in American politics.

I only read the first couple of comments to the thread but, I hate to say it, I think you guys were being optimistic. I’ve been watching Glenn Beck the past couple of days, and all he ever does anymore is show videos from roughly 20 years ago of angry black loons screaming about kill whitey.

I don’t think, at this point, they’ll even try to say they aren’t racist. They know they can’t hold ground on their argument. So they’re now in an all out effort to make it seem like black people everywhere are out to get them. It’s actually kind of frightening. Beck in particular is acutely focused on the New Black Panthers, who are a totally marginalized group of fairly extreme loons (or at least, contain enough former loons to consistently prove embarrassing). And the only thing his viewers are going to think when they see this action from the NAACP, is that the NAACP doesn’t like Glenn Beck because he ‘exposed’ the ‘secret agenda’ to kill all the white people.

This would be comical if millions of functional retards weren’t buying into it.

Friend of mine is a Tea-Party candidate for Congress. I’ve known him since he was a kid. Of course, he’ll get clobbered. But, there ain’t a racist bone in his body that I’ve seen any evidence of.

There are racists in the NAACP also.

I have no doubt you are quite correct on both points. However, it is telling that those non-racist TPers aren’t calling out the racists in their own gang. Isn’t that exactly what many have been calling for from the moderate Muslim community?

Right now the TPers are more vocal and more influential with the MSM and a major political party than the NAACP.

Besides, the old Tu Quoque does not make the racism in the TP any less vile does it?

The Tea Party movement is a deeply destructive force in American politics.

Unfortunately, it seems that it picked the perfect time in American politics to come into being. Take one economic disaster, mix in some media oversaturation, add a few dashes of unfulfilled promises, and finally a nice helping of “too many cooks spoiling the broth” as a response to a major disaster and presto, perfect environment for even an unpopular and utterly nutty movement to gain a foothold amongst the ranks of angry and depressed voters.

To continue my role as a cynic I think you might be looking for too many layers. Gore won 90% of the black vote (Bush 9), Kerry 88 (Bush 11), Obama 96 (McCain - 94 votes total). You might not be surprised to learn none of the dems in those elections spoke in front of the NRA convention.

re: #138 WindUpBird

I still like Obama more. My feelings are similar to Iceweasels’: Clinton had a lot of political baggage due to the misogynistic noise machine, being demonized for over a decade, and I think it would have impacted her effectiveness.

Though then again, Obama’s skin color seems to have riled up the booga booga crowd and those in the GOP who need the booga booga crowd to get elected, so it may have been a wash.

it’s not just his skin color…that’s a bit of a cop out, and again it was predicted the right was gonna blow their lid if he was elected, the only question being what form it would take…the TP is on a roll and they will no doubt give the donks a black eye this fall, setting up their run for the WH…I have always taken these people serious, no matter how low they blow…BO is in serious trouble and both he and his party know it…racism will likely be lost in the shouting this fall

re: #144 RogueOne

To continue my role as a cynic I think you might be looking for too many layers. Gore won 90% of the black vote (Bush 9), Kerry 88 (Bush 11), Obama 96 (McCain - 94 votes total). You might not be surprised to learn none of the dems in those elections spoke in front of the NRA convention.

And yet, Eisenhower, before the “Southern Strategy”, got around 50% of the black vote. But then, most of the Racists were southern D’s. Now they are southern R’s.

And it worked for the R’s. They kept getting Presidents elected. But now the demographics are changing and in many States, there will soon be a white minority voting bloc. Many of these people are drawn to the TPM.

the radio commentator said Tuesday on his show after the New York
Yankees owner died at age 80. “He fired a bunch of white guys as
managers left and right.”
Rev. Al Sharpton called Limbaugh’s statements “repugnant and
offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and
cheek.”
“For the last 20-years I have known George Steinbrenner and we
have quarreled over diversity and community programs but I always
found him fair, direct, and genuinely prone to do what he felt was

From the NAACP site:


NAACP Delegates Vote to Repudiate Racist Elements Within Tea Party | NAACP

Today, NAACP delegates passed a resolution to condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, calling on Tea Party leaders to reputiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches.

The resolution came after a year of high-profile media coverage of attendees of Tea Party marches using vial, antagonistic racial slurs & images. In March, respected members of the Congressional Black Caucus reported that racial epithets were hurled at them as they passed by a Washington, DC health care protest. Civil rights legend John Lewis was called the “n-word” in the incident while others in the crowd used ugly anti-gay slurs to describe Congressman Barney Frank, a long-time NAACP supporter and the nation’s first openly gay member of Congress.

Missouri Representative Emmanuel Cleaver was spat on during the incident, and so it was particularly appropriate that the resolution was passed as NAACP delegates gathered in Kansas City for our 101st Annual Convention.

The proposed resolution had generated controversy on conservative blogs, where in some cases the language has been misconstrued to imply that the NAACP was condemning the entire Tea Party movement itself as racist.

The resolution will not become official NAACP policy until approved by the National Board of Directors in October.

Well, here’s a bunch of people we can all agree are scum:

Somali militants terrorists ready to terrorize world? (alteration mine)

(CNN) — The deadly bombings in Uganda’s capital may have heralded a chilling new chapter in the history of a Somali Islamist group with links to al Qaeda.

For almost four years the radical al Shabaab movement has been engaged in a violent struggle with the U.N.-backed transitional government for control of Somalia, which has had no effective administration since Mohamed Siad Barre’s regime collapsed in 1991.

But the weekend bomb attacks in Kampala that killed 74 people would mark the first time the group has claimed responsibility for an operation beyond the Somali border, apart from sporadic attacks across the border into northern Kenya.

Al Shabaab, meaning “the youth” in Arabic, advocates the strict, often brutal, Saudi Arabian-inspired Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. It emerged in 2005 as the militant youth wing of the Islamic Courts Union (ICU), which briefly controlled much of the Horn of Africa nation before being ousted in 2006 by troops from neighboring Ethiopia.

SNIP

Well at least CNN identifies their inspiration.

Yes… boil the cauliflower and turnip beyond recognition and then whip it good… you want to make almost a thick think soup out of it, or at least like well mashed potatoes… very tasty and many less calories than potatoes.

Seriously tho’, corn is substantially better microwaved in the husk than it is traditionally boiled or even grilled.

Cauliflower is improved too, at least over normal steaming/boiling… Less mushy. Its hard to get it right tho’, since it doesn’t come with a natural wrapping the way corn does.

If you are really serious, no problem. I’m in Florida for three days in Oct… 24,25,26… otherwise I’m in town until sometime in Jan. 2011, then Paris for 7-10 days.

If you are serious, remember, that’s also a prime time for snow… and if you saw any of the pictures I linked to over this past winter, we are talking possible snows of 2-3 feet at any given time.

I don’t know how you would be coming, but take transportation in the mountains into consideration. Cato came in Dec. 2010, but he luckily didn’t hit much weather… just the snow already on the ground.

re: #170 _RememberTonyC

OT, but not really. Even when rush limbaugh is trying to be hip, he falls short …

NEW YORK (AP) - Rush Limbaugh had his own view of George
Steinbrenner.
“That cracker made a lot of African-American millionaires,”
the radio commentator said Tuesday on his show after the New York
Yankees owner died at age 80. “He fired a bunch of white guys as
managers left and right.”
Rev. Al Sharpton called Limbaugh’s statements “repugnant and
offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and
cheek.”
“For the last 20-years I have known George Steinbrenner and we
have quarreled over diversity and community programs but I always
found him fair, direct, and genuinely prone to do what he felt was
right,” Sharpton said in a statement. “He generated a lot of
money for a lot of players as well as for baseball as a whole. …
Mr. Limbaugh and his broadcasters owe his family an apology.”


I don’t even know enough about Steinbrenner to know what Rush is being facetious about, but dear LORD.

Reason ♥’s Willie Brown:
reason.com


Through all of that, Willie Brown has been fairly consistent: an extremely likeable political pragmatist with no particular attachment to principle or ideology. Which makes his new campaign worth listening to: It shows that facts on the ground are no longer possible to ignore.

and:

Tea party groups choose to stand mute on same-sex marriage ruling
www.washingtonpost.com


While many conservative organizations immediately decried a federal judge’s decision last week to invalidate the federal ban on recognizing gay marriages, tea party groups have been conspicuously silent on the issue.

The silence is by design, activists with the loosely affiliated movement said, because it is held together by an exclusive focus on fiscal matters and its avoidance of divisive social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Privately, though, many said they back the decision because it emphasizes the legal philosophy of states’ rights.

310 Dark_Falcon  Tue, Jul 13, 2010 7:33:56pm

And in other news, David Vitter beclowns himself, again:

TRENDING: Vitter’s ‘birther’ comments draw heat

(CNN) – Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, already bruised politically for failing to adequately explain why he continued to employ a staffer who was arrested for threatening to stab his girlfriend, is now facing heat over his apparent support of investigations into President Barack Obama’s place of birth.

“I personally don’t have standing to bring litigation in court,” Vitter told voters in Metairie, Louisiana Sunday. “But I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court. I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it.”

Video of Vitter’s remarks were posted by the liberal web site Talking Points Memo on Monday.

When the issue of the president’s birthplace first emerged during the 2008 presidential election, the Obama campaign released the then-senator’s birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii. In December 2008, after Obama was elected, the U.S. Supreme Court turned down an emergency appeal from a New Jersey man claiming Obama was ineligible to serve as president. Since then, the White House has called doubts from so-called “birthers” that Obama was born in the state of Hawaii “fictional nonsense.”

But Vitter wouldn’t dismiss the issue outright Sunday, saying, “I know all the information I’ve been able to get my hands on through the media…But obviously with the mainstream media as a filter, that’s not a whole lot.”

The comments are proving to be another gift to Democrats who once considered Vitter all but untouchable in his reelection bid. Despite admitted dalliances with an escort service three years ago, Vitter’s favorability rating remained high and the Democratic candidate – Rep. Charlie Melancon – has struggled to gain serious footing in the race despite his conservative leanings. Polls before Vitter’s latest political foibles showed the Louisiana Republican with a strong double-digit lead over Melancon.

But seizing on this latest opportunity, Melancon’s campaign said in a statement that Vitter’s remarks were evidence the Louisiana senator was “trying to score political points by perpetuating a completely debunked conspiracy theory.”

Vitter was also handed bad news late last week when former Louisiana Supreme Court justice Chet Traylor announced he will challenge Vitter in the state’s GOP primary. Traylor told CNN Monday that while he had been considering a run since last summer; it wasn’t until the last two weeks that he took another look at the race, after being flooded with calls urging him to run.

Some of those calls came from within the GOP Louisiana establishment, Traylor noted.

Uh, that was Jesse. Not Al Sharpton.

Read Jason Whitlock’s article. (Jason Whitlock is who turned me onto LGF by the way)

Jason Whitlock has carved out a place as one of America’s most outspoken sports columnists. An African-American, Whitlock seldom treads lightly on the topic of racism, and today he stomps all over Jesse Jackson for playing the race card with his criticisms of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert.

Jackson, as we reported early today, said this about Gilbert’s rip job of LeBron James: “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave.”

Responds Whitlock, writing for Fox Sports:

Janice Wells called the Richland Police Department when she feared a prowler was outside her clapboard house in the rural west Georgia town.

The third-grade teacher had phoned for help. But within minutes of an officer coming to her backdoor, she was screaming in pain and begging not to be shocked again with a Taser. With each scream and cry, the officer threatened her with more shocks.

I see that the AL GOP picked someone for Gov who at one time was considered the underdog:

Robert Bentley clinches Republican nod for governor in Alabama

Bentley is a “10ther” as well as a strong SoCon:

Abortion is a fundamental assault on the sanctity of innocent human life. I will ensure that abortion in Alabama is limited only to cases in which the mother’s life is in danger. I will oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion. As Governor, I will protect young girls from exploitation and statutory rape by requiring parental notification before a minor may obtain an abortion.

If I’m reading him correctly, he is implying that abortion = exploitation and statutory rape.

Also:

I will ensure that Alabama does not follow the trend of allowing gay marriages or civil unions, and I will protect our state’s right to define marriage as between one man and one woman. I support the Defense of Marriage Act, affirming the right of states not to recognize same-sex marriages licensed in other states.

Will he win in Nov?

Israeli Warships Allegedly Stop Libyan Aid Ship
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
07/14/2010 05:31

CAIRO — Israeli warships Wednesday reportedly stopped the Libyan ship carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and diverted it to Egypt.
Youssef Sawani, head of the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation that organized the ship, said it had been stopped and surrounded by four Israeli naval vessels. An Israeli army spokeswoman said she had no knowledge of the report.
The ship is headed for the Egyptian port of El-Arish, Agence France-Presse earlier said, citing an unidentified Egyptian security official. An Israeli military official, who also spoke anonymously by regulation, said the ship’s captain told Israel’s navy he would head for Egypt with the cargo from the Tripoli-based charity.

re: #341 Boondock St. Bender

It’s a unique city. Has architecture that mimics everything from an east coast city to a northwestern city… with everything in between. That’s why in the 90’s we were a major run-a-way production city for the movie industry… you could use Denver for multiple locations, and never leave the area.

A lot of culture here. More live theatre groups per capita than Chicago. Surprisingly you won’t find much experimental theatre. World class drama, musicals and comedy, and your audience tested standards, but not a lot of avant garde stuff.

Of course, head west 40 minutes and you are in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, getting close to 100 feet high (my house is at 8200 feet), 40 more minutes and you are at 14 thousand feet peaks.

Summer playground, winter wonderland, over 300 sunny days a year. Not a good job market right now, but that’s not rare anyplace in the country.

If you are looking for upscale urban stuff, we have it, but it’s cookie cutter stuff like you can find in any city with the shallow folks.. the in crowd, the scene.

All in all, if you come to Denver, look for the history, the mining history, the western history, the railroad history, the geology, the way the mountain towns built up due to gold, that kind of stuff. Look for the what you can’t find in other places… there’s a fair share of “new” here.

The racist elements of the Tea Party movement are only one of their most visible problems, and maybe not even the worst. The influence of the weird Ron Paul paleo-libertarian cult is also a huge problem, the influence of extreme fundamentalist religious sects is another, and the influence of the John Birch Society and their offshoots is still another.

The Tea Party movement is a deeply destructive force in American politics.

Just quite calling them “Paulians” or “Birchers” and call them by the name they rightly deserve because of their veiws. They are anarchists, plain and simple, when you peel away the layers and get to what they really believe and the positions they advocate.

Bentley also apparently believes the Bible should be used in schools, to be taught from:

“Either you accept our way of life or you go back to another country that is Muslim,” Potts said.

Most GOP candidates said there is no constitutional basis for excluding some religions while allowing others.

All agreed that teachers in public schools should be allowed to lead voluntary prayers.

Most — including Ivey; state Rep. Robert Bentley, R-Tuscaloosa; former state Sen. Bradley Byrne of Montrose; Greenville businessman Tim James; and Bill Johnson, former director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs — said such instructors should also be allowed to teach from the Bible.

We’ve had about 10 days of normal seasonal weather and thing a re finally starting to grow. My eldest frog has doubled in size in the past week. Hoppy hour seems to be from 5:30 to 6:30 when the mature frogs are most active. He even ventured out of the tadpole refuge today but didn’t go far. He stayed within a foot of his refuge but was exploring around. I’ve given up on summer crops and have little hope left for fall crops. All the squash plants are still only a few inches tall. I figure I’ll start planting my winter garden of kale, collards and chard soon and see how that goes.

On the bright side our wealthy have no real worries about their heirs when they die:
www.nytimes.com

“An ordinary trust dissipates as money is distributed to the beneficiaries. But a dynasty trust can avoid this by discouraging outright distributions and instead encouraging trustees to buy, for the use of the beneficiaries, things like houses, artwork, airplanes and even businesses. Because the trust retains ownership, the assets can pass tax-free and creditor-proof to the next generation.
Beneficiaries don’t pay taxes on the use of this property. In contrast, a worker whose employer provides housing or other benefits is taxed on those benefits.
But tax breaks are not the only special advantages that dynasty trusts provide. Even more troubling, they commonly include a “spendthrift clause,” which provides that trust assets cannot be reached by a beneficiary’s creditors. If a beneficiary causes a car accident, for example, the victim cannot be compensated with assets from the trust, even if they are the driver’s only resources. So beneficiaries are free to behave as recklessly as they like, knowing that their money is forever protected for themselves and their heirs. “

It looks like the Good People Republicans of Alabama like Theocracy:

Letters to the editor, Huntsville Times, Monday July 12

This letter is in response to Ward Welty’s letter “Out-Christian” condemning Byrne and Bentley for “pandering to Christian Voters.” You are so wrong on so many issues.

First, many people in Alabama, including myself, do believe that God is the supreme ruler thus believing in theocracy. Our entire country once believed this because our laws were designed by those laws handed down to Moses by God.

Secondly, the First Amendment to the Constitution does not say anything about the church and state being separate. In fact, the Establishment Clause you are trying to refer to out of context says that the state will not make any person believe in any one religion, like the Church of England was doing.

[…]

As far as your belief that “whether or not Bentley or Byrne is the better Christian is simply not a relevant question for Alabama voters,” you could not be more wrong. Just because you do not believe in what Christians believe in does not mean it is not important.

Wow. :sigh:

First, many people in Alabama, including myself, do believe that God is the supreme ruler thus believing in theocracy. Our entire country once believed this because our laws were designed by those laws handed down to Moses by God.

Dear Mr. Weaber,

Just a little tip, continuously repeating a lie does not make it true.

Sincerely,

Someone with just enough brains to realize that our Founders wanted nothing to do with a theocracy.

I’m saying for me, for what I value, taxation doesn’t even rate, when it comes to picking a state to live in. The city culture of where I live matters most to me, everything else is secondary. Being around the stuff I like to do and the people to do it with.

if I had a kid, I’d imagine the general public education would be a thing I’d consider. Crime is soemthing I’d consider. Oregon has an income tax, it doesn’t bug me too much, since my rent is low and I can basically walk to amazing bars and restaurants.

Well, it is familiar and comfy. But it probably would throw a lot of non-Jews for a loop.

One story: For some reason, the associates and employees in my little consulting firm have Hebrew names. Like Dathan, Carmi, and Reuven, for example. We’ve done some tech consulting for some major multi-media installations at some Christian-themed shows and mega-Churches. And these names—straight out of the Hebrew Bible, stump them! We have to spell our names for them, and they’ll say “I never heard that name before”, etc…..

Hey DF. Yeah, I noticed it this afternoon. He keeps repeating that in the hopes that it sticks or something. Hell, if I was a radical it would be an improvement to my boring like. I guess voting for Clinton once and then waiting until 2004 to vote for Bush and 2008 to vote for McCain. Radical man! I guess the radical part was a radical departure from voting for Democrats most of the time. Yeah, those Democrats — they’re sure radical. Or maybe it’s when I was a mover and shaker in Argentina with the Peronists until I left with my family when I was 1-1/2 years old.

It’s also not, historically speaking, a norm of human behavior. We went through a period, the push West, where usually for short periods of time, individuals or families did have to supply all their own needs without much outside support. Little House on the Prairie, et al. But humans tend to live in groups and specialize labor, because that gets you better stuff and is safer. I sometimes think Americans have a skewed idea of historical norms because the settling of the continent is such a major event for us, historically and emotionally.

There was another chupacabra - just this morning - supposedly found in Texas by a farmer.

These are not alien animals. More often, they’re emaciated coyotes, and sometimes even bears, made hairless from mange. And once the flies get to them, or they get rainsoaked, they aren’t pretty.

I imagine these supposedly “seasoned” animal owning farmers running around like Chicken Little, believing the sky is falling. Talk about gullible and shit-all stupid.

Fox News website is now running the slightly longer AP version of the Iowa billboard story:

Iowa Tea Party Billboard Compares Obama to Hitler

“That’s just a waste of money, time, resources and it’s not going to further our cause,” said Shelby Blakely, a leaders of the Tea Party Patriots, a national group. “It’s not going to help our cause. It’s going to make people think that the tea party is full of a bunch of right-wing fringe people, and that’s not true.”

Blakely also expressed outrage at linking Obama to Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany who oversaw the killing of 6 million Jews and whose invasions of neighboring countries led to World War II.

“When you compare Obama to Hitler, that to me does a disservice to the Jews who both survived and died in the Holocaust and to the Germans who lived under Nazi regime rule,” Blakely said.

John White, an Iowa coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, said that he can understand the North Iowa group’s perception that Obama is “Hitler-esque,” but he thinks the billboard is offensive and unproductive. White said that he planned to discuss the matter with national tea party officials.

Hmmm…

They already comb every thread here for stuff they can use to get off on, about our fights, our personal lives, our dogs and cats and ferrets and weasels.

Every time someone here takes notice of it, they get all happy-like, drink until they pass out, and then wake up in a stupor and rut like monkeys.

It’s really a kind of cruelty to animals to poke them with sticks like that.

A talk-radio host like Limbaugh neatly exemplifies one of the many Randian fallacies — that people have some intrinsic worth rewarded by the market but largely independent of society. Put Limbaugh in any other country (especially a non-English speaking one), and suddenly you have a 60 year old man who can’t do shit. His status and success is completely dependent on the desire that some American “moochers” and “looters” have to listen to him. A “Galt’s Gulch” full of Limbaughs would starve.

George Clooney tells a hilarious story about getting back to his house in the LA canyons late one night, somewhat drunk, and finding hovering helicopters. Somehow he develops this theory that there’s an escaped convict on the loose, and that the convict might have kidnapped his assistant, who sometimes spends the night in a cottage on the property, so he calls her and tries to give her code words to use if the maniac has taken her hostage.

Eventually he learns that Britney Spears, who he didn’t know lived down the road from him, has done something new, and the paparazzi are going nuts.

A CHARISMATIC terror leader linked to the botched Times Square car bomb has placed the Seattle cartoonist who launched “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” on an execution hit list.

Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki - the radical who has also been cited as inspiring the Fort Hood, Tex., massacre and the plot by two New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers - singled out artist Molly Norris as a “prime target,” saying her “proper abode is hellfire.”

FBI officials have notified Norris and warned her they consider it a “very serious threat.”

From the article:

Norris’ neighbor said yesterday he’s noticed an increased police presence on the street lined with modest Craftsman-style homes. No one answered the door at her home, where a blue baby swing hung from a tree outside.

Also from the article:

David Gomez, the FBI’s assistant special agent in charge of counterterrorism in Seattle, said Norris and others were warned of the “very serious threat.”

“We understand the absolute seriousness of a threat from an Al Qaeda-inspired magazine and are attempting to do everything in our power to assist the individuals on that list to effectively protect themselves and change their behavior to make themselves less of a target,” Gomez said.

“We understand the absolute seriousness of a threat from an Al Qaeda-inspired magazine and are attempting to do everything in our power to assist the individuals on that list to effectively protect themselves and change their behavior to make themselves less of a target,” Gomez said.

… the “change their behavior” part could mean changing their daily habits or routines in an effort to be more secure. Like watching one’s back, taking different routes home from work, paying much closer attention to those paying close attention to you, and so on.

However, if that is intended to mean changing one’s behavior with regard to freely expressing their opinions here in the States, through art or any other means, then it is a disturbing sentiment.

re: #419 Spare O’Lake

We been there, done that.

Really? You don’t think, a la Code Pink, that we’ll be hearing more about NBPP in the future?

NBPP is a nothing movement, but hyperpartisans and teabag defenders (eg, Limbaugh, Malkin, Breitbart) will grasp at anything to make the equivalency argument.

re: #778 Stanley Sea

Anyone see this Palin tweet?

It fits with the thread-


I just can’t comment on the tweet itself.

I think this lady found her way via McCain from nowheresville to being a front runner in the GOP. I am disgusted.

All I can say is, in my opinion, the moment she had those people screaming epithets at her McCain rallies (and carrying the Curious George stuffed monkeys) she realized, yes, THIS is my ticket.

I also see him as spending a lot of quality time masturbating, because I can’t believe any female familiar with his rants would find any part of him attractive.

Have you seen him lately? It’s like all the blackness inside him has come out in his pores. He’s a living portrait of Dorian Gray.


Did he choose poorly? :D

It’s going better this week. Today was a good day. But now I have to get to bed. Goodnight, All.

re: #780 SanFranciscoZionist

I’d really like to see Mel snubbed at public events by his peers. Just the simple, old-fashioned, “I do not recognize that you’re standing there” routine. If nothing else, the ‘pack of African-American individuals’ line should put him outside the bounds of whatever passes for polite society these days.

Sorta like the penultimate scene in “Les Liaisons Dangereuses”, where the Marquise shows up at the opera and gets booed out of the house?

My Mom’s favorite movie. When I got her to watch “Raising Arizona”, she said: “I don’t care for movies where people break the law”. ?!?!?!?!?!!??

You’re not a real Lizard until you’ve had at least one timeout.

I got mine on my first day! Stupid balloon boy.
