OK. Just looked in my dictionary. "Refudiate" is not in my dictionary. Who's got a Funk and Wagnalls?

I can't see a a video of either Hannity or Palin without wanting to vomit.

On another note, the part in Hannity's hair disturbs me. It's like half an inch wide. I think he's a poorly constructed robot.

Bush, as much as I disliked him as president, was personally likeable. I wanted to like the guy. He wasn't mean spirited, he was just, in my opinion, wrong much of the time.

It's hard to feel the same way about Palin.

Hi Everyone!

Sarah here....

I just wanted to say how awesome it is to always be at the forerunner of the Tea Party. Heck, I just love you guys so muchly. It's really awesome to be held in such high estimation by the people of America, isn't it?! You betcha!

You know, a lot of people have asked me since that interview a few years ago what I read, and I still say: all of it! All the magazines and news stuff that's really hard for a lot of other people to comprendiate.

It's important to educate our kids too so that they learn English and grammar in school, like we did in Alass-ka! After all, where would I be without my grasp of the language of the Bible? See, our Foundational Fathers really were Christians who love this country and Christ, and did everything they could to distill a sense of fellowness in their commendary man. They also wrote the great Constitutional in English, so we should too. People ask me who my favorite fathers are and I always answer Christ, of course. And then Washington...and then some others. What's of majority importance is that we all respect them with deepest regrets.

Anyway, just saying hi and telling it how it is!

Love,

Sarah Palin.

Interesting compilation of tea party signs in this vid, some of which I had not seen before

91 Almost Killed by Space Hookers  Wed, Jul 14, 2010 4:16:56pm

I just this particularly feculent bit of refuse.

While we mock Sarah for her abuse of the English language, let's not overlook the attempted power play or the fact that her rabid and vapid fans - not to mention a large percentage of Fox viewers viewers in general- will pick up on.

The NAACP, along with Thurgood Marshall is now a target. It is not enough to go after out first black president, but they are now going after every thing that made his presidency possible - from civil rights to those brave Americans who stood against racism as a career and still do.

They want a black president to attack a noble organization with a history of fighting the good fight. They want him to do this after that organization said nothing about provocation after racist provocation from the tea party goons for over a year. It took them that long, to see that much, before they passed this resolution condemning the racism of the tea bags. They were that careful about it, even though it was obvious to anyone following the baggers for much, much longer.

They know Obama will not do so and they are already ginning up to complain that since he won't it is evidence - yet more "evidence" of a black conspiracy to favor blacks over whites in America. Why is the NAACP protected they will whine through crocodile tears. They think this is high level political chess. Sadly, it will work with all too many.

This is the point where I say that Palin is perhaps the ugliest pustule the buttocks of America has seen in a long time. Her soul is ugly.

re: #106 HappyWarrior

Oh you all who are criticizing her are only doing so because you're afraid of her. Seriously, Palin quite honestly is one of the most unlikable politicians I've ever seen. She is everything that Obama's right wing detractors say he is. She's incredibly full of herself, narrow minded, and extremely hostile to anyone who doesn't share her narrow worldview.

She's just another pablum puking wingnut -- one of many. And she's not really effective except for mobilizing a small segment of the American population -- namely Tea Partiers. And there's this:

Although Palin is a tea party favorite, her potential as a presidential hopeful takes a severe hit in the survey. Fifty-five percent of Americans have unfavorable views of her, while the percentage holding favorable views has dipped to 37, a new low in Post-ABC polling.

There is a growing sense that the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve as president, with more than seven in 10 Americans now saying she is unqualified, up from 60 percent in a November survey. Even among Republicans, a majority now say Palin lacks the qualifications necessary for the White House.

Palin has lost ground among conservative Republicans, who would be crucial to her hopes if she seeks the party's presidential nomination in 2012. Forty-five percent of conservatives now consider her as qualified for the presidency, down sharply from 66 percent who said so last fall.

Among all Republicans polled, 37 percent now hold a "strongly favorable" opinion of Palin, about half the level recorded when she burst onto the national stage in 2008 as Sen. John McCain's running mate.

Among Democrats and independents, assessments of Palin also have eroded. Six percent of Democrats now consider her qualified for the presidency, a drop from 22 percent in November; the percentage of independents who think she is qualified fell to 29 percent from 37 percent.

Having such a tenuous grasp of the English language, she would form words that sounded like, or reminded her of, a word she heard someone else use at some time.

Cannot spell with a gun to her head. Has no idea what some words mean. Constantly mispronounces common words. Most cockatiels have a larger vocabulary.

Words for her were simply used to fill space and emulate what she might be feeling at any given time. Like Sarah, she was either enraged, feeling victimized, exaggerating, crying, condemning, quoting scripture, or being a wholesome cocktease. Through it all, a complete idiot.

There aren't any racist in this house. There is such a cross section of both religions, non-religions, ethnic backgrounds and education levels in this household, it's like the UN.

Yesterday, I get to the restaurant were I was meeting Prairie Fire and family, I get there early, just to make sure I'm there in case they call, or are lost (they did get a little lost and did call). There was this idiot at the bar, watching one of the entertainment magazine shows on TV (I don't know which show, I don't watch TV) and there is a report on Mel Gibson. All during the report, he's clamoring on about how Gibson is not as racist as the remarks made by the Black Panther gut. I mean, he actually was trying to compare racist comments and score them.

It was actually embarrassing, and when Prairie Fire and family did get to the place, I made sure we sat in the dining room instead of up front, cause I didn't want to expose the kids (or anyone really) to that sort of stuff.

You got them, racist, they come in all flavors, and it's sickening to hear, but it's appears it's not going away anytime doon.

There's NOTHING diverse about the "Tea Party" movement.

re: #117 WindUpBird

Well no it worked for Kennedy, and revenues increased again with it under Reagan. Those cuts all stayed, apart from the return of bracket creep and maybe a few other things. It's the spending that puts in a deficit during years of increasing or even merely stable revenues. The Bush cuts did not have the same dramatic effect as they were not properly tuned and we did not have the same economic issues to resolve as during Kennedy or Reagan.

What we have effectively never seen is a plan to scale back spending when inevitably, revenues decrease in a downturn. The Bush 41 spending limits and paygo are all about trying to get that locked in. Nobody argues that big deficits arer good for an economy. And since economics forecasters were invented to make weather forecasters look good, so we can both find papers as to how the Bush 43 cuts did or did not help the economy.

Did you check out Krikorian and his history? That's the kind of person I mean by wingnut. We've been over this countless times here.

and "fucking wingnuts, how do they work" is clearly a reference to an internet meme.

and 'wingnut welfare' does refer to the whole nepotistic network that keeps wingnuts funded. google it. "heritage foundation, cato institute, IBD editorial gigs, book deals at regnery, books bought in bulk by 'think tanks' then 'donated' to various wingnutty outlets that give them away for free, practically.

Check out the funding of these places sometime. It's not my fault you're not paying attention.

Charles specifically asked us a while ago to let him know whenever any of us stumbled across nasty stuff from the past here. (he didnt always have the mod tools we have now, including report buttons, and in any case haters always have used the link system and now the page system to try to 'sneak' in evil stuff that they would be busted for in a thread.) So if you run across anything horrible from the past, that's why and what he asked us to do.

Also, it's important. There are haters on the left and right who would (and do) endlessly quote shit from here out of context (or evil stuff that slipped by back then) and use it to smear Charles and LGF.

It generally goes like this - pretty much world wide - people in local areas want lower taxes....... to get elected a party will say "we will lower your taxes".
Outcome - libraries are closed, public facilities like toilets are closed, parks keepers are let go, urban decay projects are let go - and then the electorate asks "hey, why has this place gone to shit?".................

When there are tens of thousands of state and federal workers that are retiring and collecting 100,000 plus in pensions and benefits that are indexed and when there are thousands upon thousands of ex civil servants on high payout disability pensions while still in good health and when far too many schools that are still sub par, I believe we are paying too much in taxes.

Personally, I find Sarah Palin to be a most unsuitable candidate for high office fo9r a myriad of reasons.That said, far too much of the vitriol directed against her is personal- and there is no excuse for that. The people who support Palin do so in no small measure because in many ways she has become an underdog. People resent the personal attacks because Palin is a lot more representative of her constituents than the ivory tower crowd.

It's one thing to focus on the many failings of the TP. I for one find the movement immature- and that's on a good day. Nevertheless, the TP writes no bills, passes no laws and is politically responsible for nothing. They are not responsible for poor government, poor policies and the poor showing of our elected representatives. At the moment, the Dems hold a clear majority in both Houses. The inertia and failings cannot be blamed on the GOP, or the TP. It should be clear that rejecting the TP in no way is an endorsement of any other party. In fact, as long as there is poor governance, voters will say 'A pox on both their house' and 'They are all bad- maybe we ought to give the other bums a chance and see what happens. Can't get any worse, right?'

Good governance does not materialize with the demonization of the minority party or political movements that have no power. Good governance comes about as the result of good governance, irrespective of the party in power.

Obsession with the Opposition (and that goes for both the Dems and the GOP) will not and cannot make for good government.

This blog attracts lots of smart people on both ends of the political spectrum- and for good reason. There is a whole lot more to stimulating and intelligent political discourse than bashing the opposition.

Wait you are saying that the NAACP should be attacked by the president to further the fantasy spectacle of white victimization?

Fuck you Shalit.

Hell NO! - Back in the "Day" - the NAACP was the sine qua non of a Civil Rights Movement. My Dad was a member.
The NAACP was for the same "equality" as Dr. King was, and I remain committed to - that any "Man" - Including "Wo-Man" is entitled to be judged by the "content of their character" and their works.
Today's NAACP - as today's Major Political Parties - Both "D" and "R" - are NOT the same as they were. All three have become more and more Interest Groups. Choose yours and proceed accordingly.
As to fellow Humans, I take a Canine view, we will "sniff" each other - and - unless one of us is a "Doggie Sociopath" we will get along as fellow "Dogs."
I work in that world every day. My secretary is the "Blonde Norwegian" - My Boss's Secretary s the "Black" - More Like Cocoa Brown - Ms. Dinkins.
Ms. Dinkins came to us from the "government" side - Public Housing - like going from the DoD to a Mid Range Military Contractor. We value her knowledge and experience. We ALL get along. B+W, M+W. Is there a PROBLEM with that?
Hold THE truth to be Self-Evident - That all "Man" - Male and Female, Of any Color or Mixture of Same ARE IN FACT Created Equal. NONE of us are Created CONGRUENT - We ARE ALL Individuals. Enough for one posting and One Night. That is all.

I try not to overuse this phrase, but he just doesn't get it.
Did you see Jon Stewart's take on it? Classic.

O'Reilly is one of those guys I just instinctively loathe, and it really has little to do with his politics. I can't even watch him for a second, he just gives me the icky dirty feeling, it's all about that fact that he's just this clueless, vicious bully, just all these horrible personality traits in one guy. Hannity is MORE partisan with his opinions and for some reason he doesn't bug me.

Just to give a side not about the racism of the village, they have an entire thread dedicated to condemning the NAACP. Here is some wit from the witless.

From Buzzy: The NAACP: Not Acknowledging the Advancement of Colored People.

From the Rodent: The NAACP is an arm of the Progressives. They are overseeres to make sure the serfs stay in line.

From Grimcargo (a pathetic hick with a Dixie flag nic): A lot of people learned a long time ago that there is no pleasing the NAACP. They are like the Islamics. Nothing can please them.Except that which sane people will not give. They howl about being free. Dammit theres ships at the harbor why don’t they be free? The party is over.

Savage: On cue – black-muslim enters Tampa daycare with trenchknife to kill cracker babies…

Nobody really cares what candidates are for, they're more interested in voting vindictively for past bad behaviors or sticking up for their team. 60% of the population is going to vote for their party regardless of the candidate or the parties positions. That leaves the rest of us, 40%, to punish the bad. This election cycle the repubs can run as many nuts as they want and it won't matter a bit. They're still going to win back the house and possibly the senate because the dems have managed to make the republican party look like a viable option thanks to their being completely and totally inept.

Ugliest Blogger on the Internet

She is pretty fabulously repugnant. My read on her is that she was the former sorority girl "queen bee" with her little attendants whom she treated like garbage. She was never particularly bright, or well educated, but always opinionated and convinced of her superiority. After all, she was pretty in an average and unremarkable sort of way and had her little clique that she ruled with her little fist clenched.

Now she is aging, and a little fat. She still has no particular education and is still not terribly bright. But she does have the adulation of a bunch of aging obese cheeto stained screen berets. She can imagine they are jock types and they can imagine she is unaccessible and lovely. They can all pour their bitterness, hatred and ignorance out together.

The Fairy Tale of the NAACP, by the Grim Brothers of Freeperville

Once upon a time there was a beautiful country called the United States of Amnesia. Everyone who came to live there immediately forgot all his quarrels with other kinds of people, and the whole land lived in peace and harmony. Their motto was "all men (and women, obviously) are created equal". And everyone was welcome to come and live in this glorious land. Poles, Germans, Irish, Jews, Muslims, and especially black people from Africa, who were highly prized for their willingness to work hard for next to nothing.

Then, one day, a couple of evil people noticed that people weren't noticing any differences in skin color or facial features, and they thought that was bad, because they wanted to be noticed for those things. So they founded a wicked organization to force people to notice! And, sadly, that great, happy land has never stopped noticing since, and it's not all that happy anymore.

The End.

Now she is aging, and a little fat. She still has no particular education and is still not terribly bright. But she does have the adulation of a bunch of aging obese cheeto stained screen berets.

Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all round my cell
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

a bit jerky no?

got me jerkin

Wait... you said "clubland is 6 blocks long" What are you talking about? Off of Bastille Sq. east? That's not the only clubs in the city, far from it. Granted, there is not just a neat row of clubs that go on for miles and miles, but you can find clubs all over the city, and just about any type of music you are looking for, and a lot you'll never see in NYC or Chicago... there is a whole lot of "world music" clubs, featuring an eclectic mix of "pop" flavored traditional music.

The left bank, Montpanasse, north near the Pigalle area... really, maybe you just didn't have time to experience all that's available.

Actually-- Someone just this morning emailed me an extremely disgusting wingnut 'joke' about Obama's mother and the imagined answer she would give him when he asked as a five year old why he was black and she was white.

He said he wanted to go to Gleason's Gym to work out. He was an amateur boxer, as you probably know. Anyhow, we're driving along and I said, 'Miles, pull over. Let's do some shots of you and this totally cool car.' He said 'yes,' we did, and then proceeded to the gym where he threatened to knock me out…" -Baron Wolman

Well, just so that you know... Some clear things in terms of the imagery:

The saucy doll winking. She is a good girl, but she wants something a little more...

The entire enticing phantom of the opera meme. The Phantom of the Opera, Anne Rice/ True Blood type vampires/ dissipated noblemen are all classic subbie fodder. If you meet a woman who is really into those things and corsets... well.... ;)

The real point is that this is the alluring male presence that will consume her.

Then she gets sucked into this wider world and loses control. More to the point, he takes it. It is not even close to being a difficult interpretation. As to flak, I adre that I am giving those people coronaries.

I've stated before that it doesn't 'hurt my feelings'. this is not about my poor little feelings.

This is about the pattern everywhere, on the net and elsewhere, of using sexual slurs to put women 'in their place'.
Damn right I'm angry. And that is why. It's not about 'me'. People should object to this disgusting shit everytime and everywhere they see it. Not because they 'like the woman' it's directed at or don't.
Because it's the decent and right goddamn thing to do.

Could it possibly be more clear than that? Misogynists do this. It's not only an attack on the individual woman. It's on ALL WOMEN. and it should be called out for what it is. Period.

There is nothing not perfect about that quatrain.

In fact, I'll go further. This may sound odd, but to me, Cohen and Dylan were always poets in the greatest tradition of the Tribe. There is something prophetic (and not in the sees the future sense, more in the biblical sense) about them when they are at their best.

I think Cohen is the better poet, but Dylan is more interesting musically.

Some Leonard Cohen Lyrics that give me chills:


You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did

I'm the little Jew who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival

Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further

And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder.

And:

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

re: #729 iceweasel

I've stated before that it doesn't 'hurt my feelings'. this is not about my poor little feelings.

This is about the pattern everywhere, on the net and elsewhere, of using sexual slurs to put women 'in their place'.
Damn right I'm angry. And that is why. It's not about 'me'. People should object to this disgusting shit everytime and everywhere they see it. Not because they 'like the woman' it's directed at or don't.
Because it's the decent and right goddamn thing to do.

Could it possibly be more clear than that? Misogynists do this. It's not only an attack on the individual woman. It's on ALL WOMEN. and it should be called out for what it is. Period.

That's all I have to say about this. It's already evident to every decent human being.

Yes, that's a problem. Unless you're a woman, then circumcision is a requirement by even the most progressive of Jewish communities.

Ok! You can be a Noachide! ( [Link: en.wikipedia.org...] ). This requires no cutting of anything.

Jews believe--and this is a fundamental belief of Judaism--that all righteous people have a place in the world to come ( [Link: www.jewfaq.org...] ). This is one reason why Jews don't proselytize--there's no need to! It's not like we condemn non-followers to die a horrible, painful, burning death (as some other religions do).

This is the story of Hezekiah Jones...

Hezekiah Jones lived in a place... in Arkansas.
He never had too much, except he had some land,
An' he had a couple of hogs and things like that.
He never had much money
But he'd spend what he did make as fast as he made it,
So it never really mattered that he had much money.
But in a cupboard there, He kept in the cupboard... he kept in the cupboard books,
He called the books his "rainy season."

The white folks around the county there talked about Hezekiah...
They... said, "Well... old Hezekiah, he's harmless enough,
but the way I see it he better put down them goddam books,
Readin' ain't no good, for n***** is n*****."

One day the white man's preacher came around
Knockin' on doors, knockin' on all the doors in the county,
He knocked on Hezekiah's door.
He says, "Hezekiah, you believe in the Lord?"
Hezekiah says, "Well, I don't know, I never really SEEN the Lord,
I can't say, yes, I do..."

He says, "Hezekiah, you believe in the Church?"
Hezekiah says, "Well, the Church is divided, ain't they,
And... they can't make up their minds.
I'm just like them, I can't make up mine either."

He says, "Hezekiah, you believe that if a man is good Heaven is his last reward?"
Hezekiah says, "I'm good... good as my neighbor."

"You don't believe in nothin'," said the white man's preacher,
You don't believe in nothin'!"
"Oh yes, I do," says Hezekiah,
"I believe that a man should be indebted to his neighbors
Not for the reward of Heaven or fear of hellfire."

"But you don't understand," said the white man's preacher,
"There's a lot of good ways for a man to be wicked..."

Then they hung Hezekiah high as a pigeon.
White folks around there said, "Well... he had it comin'
'Cause the son-of-a-bitch never had no religion!"

This thread is a prime example...if the blog is not ever brought up again here, and if there is not a list of who posts there and why, how will new posters ever find it? Then, when no one remembers it exists, it means nothing. Keeping it alive by constantly referring to it is rather silly.

Never ever thought I'd see that song referenced on here.

A+!

I was good friends with the guy that wrote it. I own a whole lot of his music that archives don't even have. I say once was friends, because he sort of went over the edge in his late 60's and got real anti-Semitic... mainly ranting about the music business and Jews... and I broke off my friendship in 2001 because of it.

You, and those that wander over there to see what is being discussed, are the one perpetuating it, giving them fodder. Is that blog on your list of favorites on your desktop, one click access? Ask yourself why...

yes, I know the history of most of them, I was around for many of the melt-downs, threats, and stupidity. Let it go, it will go away, the only time I think about them is when you (and others) bring them up becuase you (or others) have been reading what they are posting and reporting it here.

Republican congressmen: totally okay with radical islam if it means they can kick queers!

Two Republican congressmen are urging other countries -- including, potentially, some where homosexuality is a crime punishable by death -- to vote against an American-led effort in the U.N. to recognize a respected international gay rights group.

But two Republicans, Reps. Chris Smith (NJ) and Trent Franks (AZ), have written a letter, obtained by TPMmuckraker, to the many of the other countries on the council urging them to vote against the resolution.

They claim that the LGBT rights group is a threat to human rights, including freedom of religion.

May be old news from earlier today, but according to Michael Steele, the Tea Party is not racist. That's name calling, and simply not true, according to Mr. Steele.

Tea Party activists are your mom or dad, your local grocer, banker, hairdresser or doctor.

Except my mom wouldn't misspell simple shit on signs she carried, and my hairdresser isn't a closet klukker. But other than that - sure - they're exactly the same.

Not.

LVQ - sorry to hear of your mom's diagnosis.
Spend as much time as you can with her, this is a frightening and difficult time for her. I know you will.

And prayers, of course, for strength for her, you and your family.

Thank you so much. Right now, as far as the best research I can do goes, she is going to be fine. (please Hashem). My main purpose right now is to keep her spirits up, and yes of course, I talk to her everyday.

I told her this joke today and she guffawed:

An old married couple from a small town reached their 75th anniversary. The local paper sent out a reporter to do a story on them. He asked the old lady what the secret of their happy marriage was.

She smiled, patted her husband;s shoulder and said:

Ohhh... he's so sweet, I could never divorce him!

She then asked if they would like some lemonade. The reporter said please thank you, and she got up to make some.

When they were private, the reporter asked the old man the same question, what is their secret.

The old man said...

Son, let me tell you a story. When we were first married, on our honeymoon, we took a mule packing trip to the Grand Canyon.

When we were maybe 1/3 the way down, my wife's mule stumbled. She looked a bit cross and said "that's once."

when we were two thirds of the way down her mule almost tripped.

She looked real mean and said: "THAT'S TWICE!"

We made it to the bottom, by the river there, and that poor mule stumbled a third time. My wife said "That's three times" real cold like, hopped off that poor dumb animal, pulled out an enormous pistol and BANG shot it dead, right between the eyes.

I looked at my wife. I said why did you do that? What did that poor dumb beast ever do to you? Now there are two of us at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and only one mule.

She looked at me and said:

"That's once."

But why, do we have to eat our own instead of just doing the right thing and naming them for who they are and dismissing their agenda?

re: #925 MellyMel

If you read this blog regularly, and I'm sure you do, there are numerous instances where outright racism is tolerated and on full display within multiple TP organizations. These aren't isolated instances, or a few bad apples. It's enabled, perpetuated, discussed within the party at length.

I have yet to see Michael Steele say anything of consequence to address the problem within the ranks, much less admit it. The man lives in such denial, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a Confederate flag over his bed, since the Civil War "wasn't about slavery."

The Tea Party allows some of the worst racists in the game to be their featured speakers, and have consistently aligned themselves with extremist groups. Just because Michael Steele says it isn't so, does not make it true. It only makes him look more ignorant and gutless.

I, for one, could not stand beside people who ignore, tolerate, and promote the racist insanity alive and well with the Tea Parties. I suggest you and Dr. Shalit commiserate.

Well that would explain why the stalkers are so jealous of you.

Here is something priceless.

Earlier today I posted that I gave them bad dreams. I wrote: #519 this thread:

And I make them have bad dreams. In those dreams, Jesus did things like feed the poor and the hungry and he went around curing people for free.

Damned hippie!

The Rodent.. clearly drunk as usual...wrote:

White Supremacist has insulted Latins, declares who is Jewish or not and now he mocks Jesus. He is not a Christian and doesn’t understand the religion. He goes on and compares Jesus to a hippie.

Ludwig knows nothing about Jesus and should keep his mouth shut. Add anti-Christian to the many labels this Fascist has.

Well Just for Rodent, I should add that I am not the one claiming to be Christian and you are clearly sarcasm impaired, but I should also add that:

Jesus was something of a community organizer, Pilot was a governor, and that Jesus had skin the "color of burnished bronze" which is a very Obama like complexion. Jesus also saw the corruption of the Temple by the Roman government and was appalled. He didn't like plutocrats abusing faith to gain power.

It is really sad when the "crusaders" know less about their own books than the Jew boy. Of course, that is ironically what Jesus had to say about people like Rodent also.

I truly appreciate your feedback. However, living in MD and having Mr. Steele as one of our representatives tells a very different story than what you are portraying. I find it very hard to understand how anyone can judge him without knowing that it takes great courage to be a black person AND be a conservative. That being said, I do not condone everything anyone does based on the color of their skin, but he really has put up with a lot for just being a black conservative. Really shitty commentary on our society.

Sarcasm usually goes right over his head. So if you say about Jesus "hippie!" off it goes over his head with a sonic boom as it travels over the follicles of his hair at the speed of sound.

One of the main reason they fall for this trap too is because often they're so unfocused because they're trying to post on two blogs while watching over this one 24/7.

I don't hate Sarah Palin. Perhaps it's more a dislike of her rhetoric and style. Sometimes in threads like this the rhetoric is just jibing and plain old fun. If you read the thread you'll find that nobody said anything wildly out of line about here. It's been rather PG for the most part.

This site is unique though in that you won't find many other political blogs where the members or commentators are the topic of another blog and with such intensity. You won't find a blog, for example, on Kos posters where people are making screen shots or cutting and pasting their comments and making it the topic of discussion on a daily basis. At least none that I can think of. It's like I said earlier about Breitbart or let's say even Hot Air. I've posted some Hot Air comments but I can't even remember their names. I did it only about a dozen times. A few of those times I even stripped the nicknames.

Virginal arse biscuits---can't stop laughing!!

-- oh my god, this is so how I fell in love with you in the first place. No one makes me laugh like you. ;)

Ma laddie, if you weren't already mine I'd be hopelessly lost in love still. :)

As fair art thou, my canny laddie,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

:) Not long now, ma laddie...not long.

I believe it's because LGF's comment system and its registration, is more of a closed system, it's more intimate. So when people are banned, and thus robbed of the intimate environment that they've sort of (mistakenly) convinced themselves that they have some ownership of, they lose their minds. It throws their lack of power over this community they thought was theirs into stark relief, so they just get the rage virus about it.

I truly appreciate your feedback. However, living in MD and having Mr. Steele as one of our representatives tells a very different story than what you are portraying. I find it very hard to understand how anyone can judge him without knowing that it takes great courage to be a black person AND be a conservative. That being said, I do not condone everything anyone does based on the color of their skin, but he really has put up with a lot for just being a black conservative. Really shitty commentary on our society.

That's exactly what it is. And we had closed registration for so long and rarely had it open, it fostered a toxic brew inside the heads of the random toxic haters who joined. Banned, and they snapped. They're like the angry divorced guy who just can't take the fact that his wife threw him out.

Some (but not all) of the bullying of new people here represents people who are very angry about LGF no longer being a 'sekrit wingnut nolleej klub' or playground for them and their banned buddies. They're mostly pissed about the 'revelation' that Charles didn't think like them.

We probably did too. I honestly don't remember. i do remember having a really good convo with you early on about a proposal that would supposedly force all households to pay to become green, something like that.

You and I were the only ones who were looking at the actual bill, I remember. You found it (of course) and were trying to parse it-- everyone else was just wingnut riffing on what they wanted it to say. That's basically the only thing I remember as to how we 'met'. :)

People would be surprised how rarely i remember if we had a skirmish or if they called me a name, to be honest. I have some kind of weird dyslexia where I often forget who I had specific conversations with if they're just insults. unless it's really over the line I probably forgot it.

We probably did too. I honestly don't remember. i do remember having a really good convo with you early on about a proposal that would supposedly force all households to pay to become green, something like that.

You and I were the only ones who were looking at the actual bill, I remember. You found it (of course) and were trying to parse it-- everyone else was just wingnut riffing on what they wanted it to say. That's basically the only thing I remember as to how we 'met'. :)

People would be surprised how rarely i remember if we had a skirmish or if they called me a name, to be honest. I have some kind of weird dyslexia where I often forget who I had specific conversations with if they're just insults. unless it's really over the line I probably forgot it. People have apologised to me before for something and i don't even remember what they're talking about.

We were sparring lightly about health care reform. If I remember correctly it was rather civil since I was still on the fence regarding HCR and as you now know my current health status which existed then. A lot of those HCR debates would get pretty intense as would abortion.

The bonding moment, if you could call it that, was that time we had to deal with that sexist creep that was also a divorce lawyer which I mentioned to you a couple of weeks ago.

re: #1016 Gus 802

Remember that one time we both went into a dead thread? It was barely a dead thread. Anyway, one of the now blocked "old timers" followed us in there and went psycho on us. Don't mention any names because I remember who it was.

Did we ever have a skirmish? I know I was an ass to Austin_Blue for about a week.

Damn - stuff like that used to happen so much, it's hard to remember that specific incident right now. If you could give me a clue as to his identity that might help.

I can't remember if we ever had a skirmish either - I don't think so though, although it's possible.

No doubt they were angry because they don't want someone demonstrating understanding an intelligence, they want a clubhouse, a boys club, with smiling gladhands in polo shirts, a secret handshake, padded leather chairs and only the Right People are allowed in

Other people have been here longer. You know what threw me over the line was during that Somali pirate incident. Good lord I couldn't believe the amount of ODS that came with that. Avanti was the only one here that I agreed with. In the end it turned out we were both right and the "mission" was successful. After that some people praised Obama's work but there was still that underlying armchair admiralty going on.

Some of that same mentality burbled up a tiny bit during the Gaza ship incident. While I supported the IDF I didn't like the idea of people talking about using large caliber weapons against a bunch of dorks with knives. That was the "50 caliber" argument which you might remember.

There's some BS conspiracy theory that went around regarding that. It was some fake story put out by an alleged conversation between some alleged Navy SEALS.

Wrote on the day after Scott Brown's victory:
[Link: www.tnr.com...]

Here is what I think will happen. The shock and panic will play itself out over a few days. Then the Democrats will assess the situation and realize that letting health care die represents their worst possible option. And then they will make a deal to pass the Senate bill through the House. I am not positive this will happen, but it's my bet, because elected officials at the national level, dim though they can be, are usually shrewd enough to recognize their political self-interest.
