And Now, The Pamela Geller Blog Generator

Humor • Views: 29,770

Here’s a new web tool for fans of Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller’s crazed illiterate rants: The Pamela Geller Blog Generator!

Can’t get enough Pamela Geller? A lot of us can’t. Yes, many of us love her incoherent and often quite sloppily spellchecked rants on the Atlas Shrugs blog, and she’s gracious enough to provide us with at least one bout of xenophobia and Godwin’s Law a day. Alas, she is just one person, and can only express so much teeth-cracking hatred toward Muslims, liberals, and cable television for so long before she has to rest and recuperate.

That’s where this Pamela Geller Blog Generator comes in! Now you too can weave your own conspiracy theories, your own plots to take over America, tailoring Geller’s own phobias to your needs! The possibilities are endless!

THIS IS BRILLIANT!

My first attempt!

JEWICIDAL CAIR-promoting clowns are at it again! This week they have been exposed plotting to take over America’s meatpacking industry, with the erection of a network of 13-story mega-mosques on every street corner, including driveways. JEWICIDAL CAIR-promoting clowns may try to tell you otherwise with evidence and sources and all that jazz, but I say they’re all as bad as the TALIBAN! That’s why we need more people like Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic, as if he were alive, he would take back our country from RINO Republicans, one by one. We don’t need the stench of moderation or acceptance of criticism in our Congress. JEWICIDAL CAIR-promoting clowns are the real extremists, anyway, those evil evil evil MR. FREEZES!

Be careful though, you will end up creating a tool for the lazy spin doctors.

The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT are at it again! This week they have been exposed plotting to take over America’s Internets, with secret messages embedded in their architecture. The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT may try to tell you otherwise with evidence and sources and all that jazz, but I say they’re all a bunch of NAZIS! That’s why we need more people like the English Defence League, who are prone to riots at the drop of a football, as they crudely Photoshop swastikas over anyone who criticizes my blog. The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT will get the clown makeup, though!

Oh this is fun,

The thugs at ACORN, SEIU and the Department of Agriculture are at it again! This week they have been exposed plotting to take over America’s small towns one at a time, starting with Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with secret messages embedded in their architecture. The thugs at ACORN, SEIU and the Department of Agriculture may try to tell you otherwise with evidence and sources and all that jazz, but I say they’re all as bad as the TALIBAN!

I’ve got a hunch that it’ll show up on some never-before-seen Flickr account soon, maybe even in my inbox! The thugs at ACORN, SEIU and the Department of Agriculture won’t know what hit ‘em!

Jon Stewart’s Producer Arrested for Punching Heckler (VIDEO)

“Interestingly, although the incident happened six weeks ago, it doesn’t seem to have been reported in the “mainstream” press since it happened—only in smaller, 9/11-oriented blogs and on the website ValleyScanner. Pretty amazing, especially given the easy joke to be made by juxtaposing Albanese’s arrest with Jon Stewart’s huge rally calling on everyone to be nice to each other. Not that we’d ever make such a cheap joke ourselves.”

re: #32 Killgore Trout

Wow, this is pretty fucked

Beck portrays Soros as “the puppet master” during ads for his Soros episode. On his Fox News show, Glenn Beck has repeatedly referred to Soros as a “puppet master” while promoting the November 9, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, which he claims will “expose” Soros. During one ad for the program that referred to Soros as a “puppet master,” an on-screen image of the Star of David faded into an image of Soros:

Speaking of classic nut cases, over at the AFA their Bryan Fischer has an article today about bears: “A Hot Dog On Two Legs - Time for Open Season on Yellowstone Grizzlies” - that is classic AFA.


The carnage continues because of a benighted ruling by a federal court. Putting the grizzlies back on the “threatened” list means a human being can hardly shoot one of these as he is bearing down on his family without facing federal charges:

“The animals may be a victim of the success of conservation efforts. In 2007, the species was considered to have recovered enough to be taken off the endangered species list. But a court overturned that decision last year and returned the bears to ‘threatened’ status, a decision U.S. Fish and Wildlife is appealing.”

Maybe we could send a few of these “nuisance” bears home with these federal judges and help them get their minds right about the mindless risk they are forcing on their fellow members of the human race.

Just stupid. Of course one can shoot a bear in self defense. And the threat of violence against judges is all too clear.

Fischer is Christian version of Geller.

re: #38 WindUpBird

Stuff like this isn’t an accident

Beck cited anti-Semitic smear that Soros pursued a Jewish “agenda” to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. On the October 5, 2010, edition of his Fox News show, Beck continued his smear campaign against George Soros, saying that “many, including the Malaysian prime minister, believe it was billionaire speculator George Soros who helped trigger the [Southeast Asian] economic meltdown” in 1997, a reference to former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s false and anti-Semitic claim that Soros was part of a Jewish “agenda” to collapse Southeast Asian currencies. In an October 10, 1997, report from the Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian (excerpted by BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, accessed via Nexis), Mahathir was quoted as saying: “We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that the Malaysians are mostly Muslim.” From the report:

so uh yeah! Good times!

I don’t even know how much of this is Beck and how much is just material from Fox News itself, I guess it’s sort of an academic distinction, they’re broadcasting it on their extremely popular show

shooting a grizzly bear in self defense can be problematic….they are faster than greased lightning and if and when you decide to fire, it better be a huge round, right on target…if your life is actually in danger you will only get off one snap shot I think

Atheist Ministers Struggle With Leading the Faithful

“I am an atheist,” says “Jack,” a Southern Baptist with more than 20 years in ministry.

“I live out my life as if there is no God,” says “Adam,” who is part of the pastoral staff of a small evangelical church in the Bible Belt.

The two, who asked that their real identities be protected, are pastors who have lost their faith. And these two men, who have built their careers and lives around faith, say they now feel trapped, living a lie.

from the article….

Yesterday Palin tweeted that, in addition to her fundraising power, she “may bring cookies” to the Plumstead Christian School to protest the guidelines.

“Hmm…may bring cookies to my PA school speech tmrw to make a pt ‘PA mulls ban on cake/cookies/candy@ school parties,’” Palin posted, linking to an article from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review about the guidelines.

for example, one afternoon i decided that i wanted a quiche and my wife wanted hamburger. we didn’t care about it, but it gave the waiter fits. it seemed like serving a man a quiche was about to practically put him into therapy

Because it’s marketed to kids. McDonalds is more of a chemical delivery system like cigarettes. I don’t support the ban but I understand the logic behind it. It’s a fairly serious cultural issue.

What are you talking about? I suggested that the happy meal was ‘one thing’ in that it may have merit for people to push back at. However this bleeping about nutrition guidelines etc etc started before this happy meal thing came up. However even if the happy meal thing does merit a pushback pushing back ‘nanny state’ guidelines in general as if they were somehow an evil foisted onto people by some sort of cabal is just stupid.

Correct, but the fastest way to get them to want to is ban it. If we want government to stay out of the bedroom, as I certainly do, I also want them to stay the hell out of my menu. Stick to inspecting foods for safety, and leave adult nutrition to adults and their doctors, dietitians etc. Requiring caloric discloseure is a good thing. Makes for a better consumer and menu. Managing the menus of restaurants from state capitols is an intrusive thing. They lack the competence, and the need.

BTW I was reading about Victorian era grocers in England. They used to do some really nasty shit and at one time the grocer was seen as an evil character. They used to add amazingly toxic chemicals to products to enhance the color, hide spoilage etc. It’s part of the reason we have the food laws we have today. The free market, left to it’s own devices will gladly kill it’s customers as long as the money keeps coming in.

Adventures in eating:

The list of poisonous additives reads like the stock list of some mad and malevolent chemist: strychnine, cocculus inculus (both are hallucinogens) and copperas in rum and beer; sulphate of copper in pickles, bottled fruit, wine, and preserves; lead chromate in mustard and snuff; sulphate of iron in tea and beer; ferric ferrocynanide, lime sulphate, and turmeric in chinese tea; copper carbonate, lead sulphate, bisulphate of mercury, and Venetian lead in sugar confectionery and chocolate; lead in wine and cider; all were extensively used and were accumulative in effect, resulting, over a long period, in chronic gastritis, and, indeed, often fatal food poisoning. Red lead gave Gloucester cheese its ‘healthy’ red hue, flour and arrowroot a rich thickness to cream, and tea leaves were ‘dried, dyed, and recycled again.’

Where is frois grois banned anyways? All over the US? And was it banned because it’s nutrionally bad or because it’s an animal welfare issue?

There are a few places like Spain that have natural Frois Grois but it’s a seasonal thing. Ducks and geese will naturally gorge themselves in the fall in orchards as an instinct to get through the winter. the fatty liver is supposedly comparable to the force fed stuff.

Tucker Carlson is outed as a troll. He was caught posing as Keeith Olbermann in emails.

Did Tucker Carlson perpetrate a hoax by posing as Keith Olbermann in a series of emails?

On Tuesday afternoon, a set of emails surfaced on the Philadelphia news site Phawker. Phawker said that the emails showed the “100% for real” correspondence between Olbermann and Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky over the weekend…

… The incendiary emails seemed too good to be true — and, as it turns out, they were. The emails from “Olbermann” came from keith@keitholbermann.com. That’s an address that is not owned by Olbermann, but by Tucker Carlson, conservative pundit and editor of the Daily Caller website. In July, Carlson announced that he had purchased the domain name KeithOlbermann.com, and told Politico that people could email him at Keith@KeithOlbermann.com — the same address that the emails to Bykofsky came from.

Schools can carry whatever they want for healthy lunches. But nobody gets to legislate that diet onto the populace 24/7.

The parents that would make a Happy meal and toys the occasional treat (maybe after working late) sure got screwed. I call that “feel good electioneering”. An involuntary contribution by McDonald’s to some local hacks re-election. The major “product” if you will from local politicians is new laws. If the do not produce, they lose elections to those who do. Allriding the “public good” train.

What’s next a prohibition of soft drinks because they contribute to obesity? That would be ironic, given that prohibition put them on the map.

Yeah I saw a show about that. There was a farmer somewhere in Europe who had developed a way to produce it without the hold down force feeding. They then did a taste test with his stuff and some made the regular way. Most people couldn’t tell the difference.

Under the proposal, McDonald’s and other restaurants would have until December 2011 to improve their meals’ nutrition with fruits and vegetables — if the chains want to keep offering Captain America figurines or toys tied with latest films.

The proposed ordinance is part of a “food justice movement” and is designed to address how about 50 of the city’s restaurants use giveaway toys to sell fast food whose nutritional content is being challenged by the city.

Officials said they hope their measure, the first of its kind for a large city, would encourage similar standards across the country. The San Francisco proposal was modeled after a similar law for unincorporated Santa Clara County, California,

The Villain in Nazi Theatre and ParaTheatre and its Influence on the Holocaust (PDF)

This paper examines the Nazi archetypal image of the villain as represented in Theatre and ParaTheatre throughout the Third Reich and the influence this theatrical villain had on the Holocaust. As an archetype, this paper explores three main characteristics of the villain salient in the ideological representation of the Jew in Nazi propaganda: the „puppet master‟ - a character who manipulates, dominates or controls others; the „swindler‟ - a character who behaves in immoral and frequently illegal ways for profit or personal gain usually at the expense of others; and the image of the villain as inferior or, at the extremes, dehumanised, animalistic or even demonic.

I know where my eggs come from though so if I ever get sick it’s my own fault.

Conspiracy theories, in general, are dangerous precisely because of their effect - they target the people who just aren’t rational. And at the risk of stating the obvious, irrational people do some really irrational things.

My kid thinks soda is a rare treat and most processed foods are disgusting. I have almost finished her nutritional mind control. She actually believes a meal should have a fruit, grain and protein or it’s not a meal, but a snack. Bwahahahah, fuck you McDs.

I admit to feeding them a small amount of crap. Mostly, I cook from scratch. I make them eat Sweet Potatoes about 4x a week. I’m sure they will never eat another sweet potato when they leave my house.

Right, so I’m a bit confused here. On your webblog intro it says that you explore issues important to both liberals and conservatives.

From what I can read of your blogs they are very left winged and there is only left winged comments. So does that mean that you are a left-winged blog, or that you censor any right winged comments?

Just curious.

The issues here are important to both left and right. The foolishness of the far right is absolutely an issue important to both left and right.

The LAMESTREAM Media may try to tell you otherwise with evidence and sources and all that jazz, but I say they’re all a drones for GEORGE SOROS! That’s why we need more people like Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic, as if he were alive, he would ban sharia law from the courts, because not only did we apparently have such a thing going in our courts on on a daily basis, but America’s courts are no place for the consideration of international laws like the Ten Commandments or the Magna Carta.

No doubt. I’m not pure, that’s for sure. We have our crutches (um…Stouffer’s Mac and Cheese, extra black pepper on mine) and for people stressed for time, heavily processed food is an easy out.

However, watching my oldest daughter emerge from what was essentially her body fighting against a diet rich in repetition and modern mono-cultures has been a real eye opener. Hell, I dropped 30lbs (so far) through a minor diet adjustment and her eczema, weird bouts of cramps and headaches have virtually disappeared and she’s just a normal, hormone ravaged 12 year old (god help me!).

I have no problem with rich people, just rich people who try to screw over poor people, who manipulate financial markets and stock prices for their own gain and others’ loss (see: Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room) and who get indignant that they actually have to pay taxes (because we currently have a de-facto flat tax when you add it all up)

Bill Gates? Rich and awesome. Starts foundations. Kicks ass. Doesn’t act like these spoiled pricks who inherited their money. No problem with that guy being rich either!

In the end, Pike has made a plausible explanation that he is pushing too hard. Perhaps I was pushing too hard that it must have been a missile. I can accept that it is possible - barely to me it seems - that weather conditions could be just right for this to happen - maybe.

The fact that the pentagon can’t get some major out there to explain it was a contrail is concerning to me. The fact that the station and the pentagon knows when the footage was taken, where the chopper was looking and what direction it was looking in means that any radar record could be checked.

Anyone could easily ask air traffic control if there was a plane there at that time. Why hasn’t that happened?

Of course, it is also concerning that no one has talked about any ballistic trajectory as seen on civilian ATC radars either. I simply do not understand why this is a subject of speculation this late in the day. There are radars everywhere. One way or the other, we could know for sure.

So here is my soo crazy it *might* be true. Suppose you wanted to tell America that you had a stealthy missile. If you just launch it, we don’t see it. So you launch it near a big city.

re: #216 WindUpBird

I have no problem with rich people, just rich people who try to screw over poor people, who manipulate financial markets and stock prices for their own gain and others’ loss (see: Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room) and who get indignant that they actually have to pay taxes (because we currently have a de-facto flat tax when you add it all up)

Bill Gates? Rich and awesome. Starts foundations. Kicks ass. Doesn’t act like these spoiled pricks who inherited their money. No problem with that guy being rich either!

Also, I’m curious: how out of touch does one have to be to think that everyone left of center in America (which is to say, still right of center for most of the civilized world) hates rich people? Because I’d like to avoid being that out of touch

“Mystery missile” was probably an aircraft, government says


The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said that FAA records showed commercial airliners were flying in the area at the time, and that most government experts were coming to the conclusion that the condensation trail was caused by an aircraft. “The best we can tell, it was probably caused by an aircraft,” the official said.

Then since we knew exactly where and when we were looking and in what direction, why can’t anyone tell us which plane? If the Pentagon has been forced to make I dunno interviews and the stations and newsies are trying to look into it - this is the simplest and most basic place to look and it would answer things directly.

If it was a plane it obviously was not a little Cessna from a little airport.

You tell me the flight number and I will buy the optical illusion theory.

The longer we go without one, the more I will think it was something else, because this is such an obvious test of the hypothesis.

I will be fair to you and say I’ve done some calculations, I can accept as possible that you are right given very special weather conditions. However, it is not at all obvious to me this was the case. It isn’t obvious to others either, and there is the most basic test in the world that has not been done.

How about this. The fact that NORAD can’t tell us right away plane or not, what it was, is a major issue. They presumably track everything. How can they not know? Yes we can make excuses for them not knowing - but if it was a commercial jet and they honestly don’t know, that is a real real issue.

Yeah exactly. Now consider this quote from KT’s article:

A Pentagon official said that an examination of radar data, satellite imagery and other sophisticated monitoring technology by multiple U.S. government agencies has turned up no conclusive evidence that a missile was fired in that vicinity and at that time.

Even U.S. agencies that monitor launches of rockets by private individuals or companies had no information of a launch, he said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said that FAA records showed commercial airliners were flying in the area at the time, and that most government experts were coming to the conclusion that the condensation trail was caused by an aircraft. “The best we can tell, it was probably caused by an aircraft,” the official said.

No conclusive evidence? To the best you can tell, probably?

WTF?

We know where, and when it was, and in what direction. If it was a big jet, between known schedules, take offs and landings, with all the different scanning stuff out there and satellite imagery, they should be able to tell us exactly which plane it was.

Thee should be NO doubt whatsoever.

Because there should be no doubt whatsoever, and he didn’t say something like it was flight 808 out of Tokyo and there was an interesting atmospheric effect, someone is covering up something.

Now maybe they are covering up a military flight - who knows, but this is not something that is solved at all.

Iran slams Israeli war threats

Iran has lashed out at Israeli prime minister’s comments that encourage the US to take military action against Tehran.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told Press TV that Tehran has taken legal action in the United Nations against the Israeli threat.

“Our mission in New York will send a note to the secretary general of the United Nations and register this kind of threats of the [Israeli] regime in the region,” the Iranian top diplomat said.

“The existence of this illegal regime is mixed with violation, terror, threats and aggression,” Mottaki stated.

re: #281 Alouette

Who was the last U.S. President to be pro-Israel? I’d say Nixon. Maybe Reagan.

Reagan was opposed to us hitting the Osirak reactor in Iraq.

I think the last truly pro Israel president was Truman. Eisenhower stopped us and the British and the French from taking the Suez. It would have been a whole different ME had he not intervened like that.

Kennedy was something of a friend but was too cought up in other things to really impact Israel I think save as supplying tacit support.

Johnson and Nixon were friends of Israel in as much as there was a chess game against the Russians who were backing the Arabs. Nixon prevented us from knocking out the Egyptian army in the Yom Kippur war.

Ford had other issues. Carter - well the less said about that mamzer the better.

Reagan and Bush sr. I covered.

Clinton was surprisingly pro - Israel.

Bush jr. Was a bigger friend to Israel than Olmert was. I will give him that, but he was also as deep into the oil patch as it gets.

Hmm. ESPN’s “30 on 30” series running “The Best That Never Was”, a film about Marcus Dupree (football running back in the early 80s).

In my opinion no one is coming out of this film looking good. A young man being exploited by a lot of different people. And the man himself appears to have never really been able to take control — or possibly just never really had the desire to become anything beyond a football player. And he was done as a player due to injury before he turned 22.

what republicans expect from republican government:

2. cut spending
3. balance the budget

what democrats expect from republican government:

1. continue to shift the tax burden down the income scale onto the middle class by lowering taxes for the top 2% more than for anybody else
2. increase the deficit
3. undermine social security
4. remove all consumer protections
5. anything else multinational corporations would like

Holocaust Fund in Scam

Seventeen people were charged with engaging in a $42.5 million scam that defrauded New York-based programs designed to help Holocaust survivors.

The charges, brought by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara Tuesday, allege that the defendants processed thousands of fraudulent applications for the payouts, oftentimes by submitting birth records of people who weren’t eligible. According to prosecutors, several of the aid recipients were born after World War II.

“We will bring to justice all those who would callously line their own pockets by looting a lifeline for Holocaust survivors,” said Mr. Bharara at an afternoon press conference.

The alleged fraud, which authorities say ran for 16 years, was discovered within the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, a not-for-profit organization that provides assistance and administers reparation payments to victims of Nazi persecution.

Also, that news anchor, Carl Click, is a guy I met at a listener party for a nerd-centric talk radio show here in Portland, it’s a small world! I’m trying to figure out what street that’s on, it looks like it’s in SE

re: #454 brookly red

well if no job = no taxes I must say you are right.

Unemployment benefits are taxable income, Obama lowered taxes on the unemployed:

There were also tax breaks for college education, moderate-income families and the unemployed and incentives to promote renewable energy.

Criticizing the first Lady is OK, IF you criticize something she can control.
Michelle is weight appropriate, and her hip size/width is genetic. That’s like critiquing the color of her skin.

That said, that pale yellow is not fetching on her, and the suit seems a little too long. Borrowed from someone?

I’m going to take a moment here to apologize to you for being an incoherent insulting dick towards you about the whole san francisco/bay area/ojoe/whatever else it was I was going off the rails about a while back. It was totally out of line, you’ve been really nice to me since I registered on LGF and there was really no excuse for it.

You don’t need to respond, you have every right to continue to be pissed at me, but I’m just putting it out there that I know it was stupid and made no sense, you didn’t deserve any of that.

I agree that it was a rude thing to say. But, for the sake of being honest, comments that are disparaging of a right wing politician’s/pundit’s looks rarely meet with the same amount of objection from commenters here, myself included.

Not a big deal, just something to consider.

Considered.

I’ve always hated it when it goes to the point of discussing a woman’s look. Happens all the time and it’s never fair or good. (I stand with disgust of ManCoulter comments)

FLOTUS looks fantastic though, so I see it as an even lower blow when the resident Democrat here blasts her.

I think it was a bit longer for more coverage/modesty. I’ve seen her wear better shades of yellow. She looks tired. I would be mewling about room service and my sore feet by this point.

There’s a specific thing that tweaks me, and that’s when people get on about a woman’s weight, I dunno, that just bugs me in a different way than anything else because it’s already this thing in American culture, this perfect storm of being sold all this incredibly unhealthy food and intellectually unhealthy body images through advertising.

And also, I think people here may be more protective about the FLOTUS since she’s been constantly attacked for her appearance/racially compared to apes/dissed for not dressing up enough/dissed for not dressing down enough/Stokely Carmichael million dollar sneakers etc etc.

During Laura Bush’s eight years as FLOTUS, I simply don’t remember this level of savage slamming of her for her appearance. I’ve made some jokes about her smile looking really alien and weird, but then again, i said precisely the same thing about Howard Dean, who has perhaps the most unattractive forced smile I’ve ever seen.

The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT are at it again! This week they have been exposed plotting to take over America’s Internets, with the erection of a network of 13-story mega-mosques on every street corner, including driveways. The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT may try to tell you otherwise with evidence and sources and all that jazz, but I say they’re all a drones for GEORGE SOROS! That’s why we need more people like Geert Wilders and Vlaams Belang, who spent his career trying to get religions he didn’t like banned, as they find Obama’s birth certificate ONCE AND FOR ALL. I’ve got a hunch that it’ll show up on some never-before-seen Flickr account soon, maybe even in my inbox! The Islamic Supremacists at CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA, FDA, PDF, and LOLWUT won’t know what hit ‘em!

511 yasharki  Wed, Nov 10, 2010 5:58:24am

How can someone be so hypocritical? [Link: atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com…] . Not only does she demand right to free speech while openly denying such right to others, she invokes history “Please be informed that Non-Muslims lived as “Dhimmis” under Islamic control in Spain. Dhimmis are non-Muslims living in a land governed by Muslims. The Jews and Christians were allo…wed to practice their religion but had limited autonomy and were considered 2nd class citizens.”, and forgets to mention how Jews were treated by Spanish Christians: massacres, inquisition, expulsion…

I don’t get it, how can these people deny the facts? Forgive me for being so blunt but pure statistics tell us that Christians inflicted vastly more casualties on Jewish people than any other religious group. Pisses me off how these bigots keep blaming everything on Muslims and Islam, failing to mention how entire cultures were enslaved, and eventually wiped out all in the name of Christ. If you’re going to criticize a religion, criticize them all…

A lot of people pointed out her robotic appearance.

People all over the political spectrum judge others by their appearance, and I think Laura is a bad example since she’s been good-looking for her age as long as she’s been in the public eye. If she were fat, or had a lazy-eye or something, I’m sure asshats from the left would have slammed her for it. There just wouldn’t have been the racist element than came with the wingnut reaction to our first black president.
