Jim ‘Dim’ Hoft Quotes Discredited Liar From Bogus News Site: ‘Obama Screamed F-Word’

Bogus bloggers quote bogus source (again)
Wingnuts • Views: 32,326

MEGA-DERPThe King of Derp, Jim Hoft, is at it again, with another ludicrous post claiming that President Obama “screamed” the F-word at his staff after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: OBAMA SCREAMS AT STAFF: “What the F**k Was That?” After Netanyahu Meeting | The Gateway Pundit.

Body language expert Tanya Reiman told Bill O’Reilly recently that Obama lied – He was no friend of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Reiman said that Obama had “contempt in his eyes” and displayed it with his body language when he was with Benjamin Netanyahu.
It was obvious.

Narcissists don’t like being challenged.

Now we know the rest of the story…
Obama went into a rage after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lectured him on his suicide plan for Israel.
NewsFavor [sic] reported, via Doug Ross…

I’m not even going to quote his ridiculous source, because it’s completely bogus: the anonymous clown who writes as “Ulsterman” (a British term for a far right nationalist) for “NewsFlavor” (all the flavor of news with none of the fattening facts).

Ulsterman was previously featured at LGF when anti-Muslim bigot Pamela Geller used him as a source, for her claim that the US military had staged a coup against Obama, and killed Osama bin Laden when Obama didn’t want to.

Here’s a good run-down of Ulsterman’s many absurd and obviously false claims: The Unbelievable Adventures Of Ulsterman, Super-Journalist.

For delusional wingnuts like Hoft and Doug Ross, there’s no source too shady when they want to smear President Obama. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe this.

It would take about 50 of us to sort through all the entries from a year's worth of Hoft, Geller, Schlussel, Riehl, etc. First we'd have to get through all the reposts because they seem to re-derp all the same stories, we'd have to find out who started what.

43 Batman  Sun, Jun 12, 2011 11:54:04am

I don't think the point is that he supposedly swore, but that he was upset because Netanyahu, and by extension Israel, thinks he's shitty. This proves that Obama hates jews, and by extension is a secret muslim and hates America.

Favorite LBJ story, as told by Molly Ivins--apparently one of his people got caught in a men's room with a hooker (male). Lyndon cussed so much on this occasion that Ladybird, who, as Molly points out, was used to him, was forced to say, "Now, Lyndon."

I don't know why she was so upset. I mean, they were in prison, which seemed positive.

What determines the text that shows up when you Link to something on your Facebook page? Does it just grab the first text it comes across at the link?

The reason I ask is take a look at Eric Bolling's Facebook Links:
Image: EricBollingFacebookLinks.png

I'm guessing Facebook autoinserted this part from a comment at the site Bolling linked too:

It is our administrations way of looking thi citizens of the United States right in the eye and saying, screw you! The Usurper in chief will do what he wants, when he wants, to whom ever he pleases. This has to be stopped by the Military. Why have our troops not been deployed to Washington D.C.

To show you how disingenuous the Republican spin doctors are (aka liars), here is what Wasserman-Schultz said to RNC Chair Reince Priebus this morning;

[Link: www.npr.org...]

Republicans for the most part have stayed out of the debate over Weiner's future. But on NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus criticized Pelosi and other Democrats for not acting sooner.

"It seemed to me that for the first 10 days in this circus that the only job that Nancy Pelosi was interested in saving was Anthony Weiner's," he said.

That drew a sharp retort from Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who accused Republicans of a double standard.

She said that Republican leaders didn't call for the resignation of Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) when he got caught up in a prostitution scandal, and that Priebus had not publicly sought the resignation of former Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) who stepped down this year over an affair with a staffer's wife.

Wasserman Schultz said party officials initially gave Weiner "some breathing room" to reach the conclusion that he needed to step down on his own, but that the leadership decided to toughen their stance Saturday after it became apparent he would not do so.

What NPR didn't report is that she also said that she stood by Weiner when he was claiming he was hacked. So much for the "first 10 days of the circus."

Someone will need to create a new drinking game for the 2012 election year. The bat guano craziness will no doubt be both overwhelming and oh so creative.

The trick is to create a drinking game that won't kill anyone playing it.

I like Hell's kitchen better. In Ramsay's UK shows he always was very clear that he didn't treat armatures the same as professionals. I thought it was really funny to see him as an over enthusiastic dork while trying to inspire an amateur home cook. It's great to see him fuck with people in a pro kitchen even if the target breaks down but I just think it's uncool to do it to people who aren't in the business.

Bloomberg hates blind people...next he'll outlaw wheelchairs and crutches for impeding sidewalk traffic

Just declare wheelchairs as vehicles like St.Petersburg has with bicycles, even on the worst, most heavily trafficked, poorly lit streets in town, that also have no shoulders, bicycles are prohibited from using the sidewalks. They enforce it too, even though I have reflectors, a headlamp, a blinking tail light, and wear a helmet I have gotten four tickets in less than three years for riding on the sidewalks.

Truthfully my major objection to riding on street is the way they do repaving now. They scrape off an inch of pavement with a giant grinder machine and then add two inches or more. No one pays the slightest attention or makes any attempt to blend the paving with the concrete curbing. Riding on the street means hugging the very edge of the asphalt alongside a 2" jagged drop to the concrete curb that is only 6-7" wide before the vertical section high enough to catch your peddles on the downstroke.

If your riding on a performance bike with rock hard 110PSI 3/4" wide tires this is a truly serious hazard. If you drop down into the curb/gutter there is no way to climb out again safely without slowing down to a turtle crawl or stopping completely and lifting the bike out. They say I have to ride in the roadway, yet at the same time they make the roadways unsafe to ride on.

I have seriously considered trying to elicit interest into a class action suit on this, not for money personally, just to make them start tapering the shoulders of the roadways again.

Let us put aside the fact that Common, the "hood" who was visiting Obama's "hizzhouse," is really not much of a hood, comparatively speaking. And let us put aside the fact that Gabon's president, while a disreputable person, was visiting the White House not only in his capacity as president of his country but because Gabon currently holds the rotating presidency of the U.N. Security Council. Bolling sees images of two black people who are entirely unrelated to each other and draws the conclusion that our black president adores all black people, in particular black people Bolling believes are miscreants.

The show I liked best for that was actually the America's Worst Cooks one, where they got the absolutely dreadful cooks, and improved them.

And, of course, Alton Brown.

(Best AWC moment--one of the chefs looks at the sample dish, and says, "You feed this to your children?" The contestant answers, "No, they won't eat it.")

(Best MasterChef moment this season--the woman smiling happily and saying "Gordon Ramsay ate sushi off me!". Followed by Ramsay's encounter with the Scottish lady who'd made salmon and haggis en croute.)

The difference between the two - even though the outcomes were really quite similar - was astounding. The Food Network show was always so polite with even scathing criticisms offered really nicely and respectfully. Then there was Chef Ramsey screaming at his chef candidates and telling them to fuck off frequently. I gotta admit I was at first shocked then found it pretty hilarious.

As for Jamie Oliver, well I started watching his 'Food Revolution' thing and quickly found myself on the side of the local rednecks he was trying to educate, which was not at all what I was expecting. Slamming the school dinner ladies for the kid's diet (as if they have anything to do with setting that), together with his emo acting out "the people here just don't understand me...sniff" was too much douchebaggery for me.

The same kind of tv watching culture is endemic here in the UK too with a lot of people. The TV must be on at all times regardless of whether there is anything on that anyone actually watches. A death in the family would be about the only thing that would qualify as an exception.

Presumably it's to keep people on the street safe, but all the businesses on the block where I play tell me it's killing business.

MasterChef Australia is by far the biggest show in the country. Bar none. Bear in mind that very little of Australia gets cable TV, and media culture is very different, but still, MasterChef Australia last season could run 6 nights a week and still be the highest rated show in the country, every night, all season. The live final last season was watched by over 5 million people, which is over 25% of the population. I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the US that is watched by 25% of the population, possibly not even the Super Bowl.

It seems different from the US model too, which came later. There's the usual reality show gimmicks, but it's genuinely family friendly and doesn't try to make a lot of entertainment out of people's misery.
