Last night the Rick Perry gay-bashing ad stood at 42,000 dislikes at YouTube, so I had to check back and see where it was today — and it’s just about to go over 250,000. I think that’s a fail record of some kind at YouTube, perhaps rivalled only by Justin Bieber.

Conservative Women’s Group Applauds Senate Decision To Deny Military Rape Victims Abortion Coverage
Concerned Women for America (CWA) revealed exactly how little concern they have for actual women, much less for America, this week when they sent out a letter attacking women who defend our country for having the nerve to believe they deserve full medical care after being raped.
The mind-bogglingly vicious swipe at female soldiers had a couple of doozies, including the claim that allowing raped service members to access abortion “serves as a political distraction” from national security, as if it’s in the interest of national security to subject raped service members to forced childbirth. [...]
But in a letter dripping with congratulatory faux concern and naked disregard for female service members who have been raped, the most attention-grabbing quote was this: Women deserve better than simply being given abortion as a ‘cure-all.’

Pee Deal: Florida Attorney General Punks Daily Show Correspondent
So on Thursday, Mandvi asked Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi if she would do the same, since she supported the legislation.
Pulling out a plastic cup, Bondi responded: “Well, that’s very interesting that you should say that. Because as attorney general, I’m always prepared,” she said, according to the Miami Herald.
“You have a sample of your urine!” Mandvi replied. “Is this really your urine?”
“Thank you, have a great day,” Bondi replied, as she walked away. “My name is on the top.”
But Mandvi had a suspicion. Surely Bondi wouldn’t just be toting around a jar of her own urine, would she? The Herald reports:
As his camera crew returned, he looked at the cup. “It says Pam Bondi. I don’t know if it’s really urine though.” He smelled it. “It’s apple juice.” He tasted it. “It’s apple juice.”
His cameraman noted, “She’s a pretty woman.” Mandvi agreed. “She just has incredibly beautiful smelling urine.”

Man defaces Walker recall petition, gets arrested for felony election fraud
A West Bend man told police he intentionally scribbled over petitions seeking the recall of Gov. Scott Walker with the hopes it would "screw up the petition."
But when Jeffery Karnitz handed the defaced petition back to a recall volunteer, she told him, "I hope you know that's a felony," and from then, he told police, "I kind of kicked myself in the ass."
On Thursday, Karnitz, 30, was indeed charged with a felony, "Election fraud - falsifying or destroying nomination papers, recall petitions, etc." -- which is punishable by up to 1 1/2 years in prison, two years extended supervision and $10,000 fine.

Sandusky's Wife: All the accusers are lying
The wife of ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky says her husband is innocent of the child sex abuse allegations against him and that his accusers are making up their stories.
Dottie Sandusky's comments today were the first she has made since her husband was arrested last month and accused of molesting boys.
She released by a statement through her husband's lawyer a day after a grand jury report said one alleged victim screamed in vain for her to help him while Sandusky attacked him in a basement bedroom. Dottie Sandusky says no such incident occurred.
Yeah, I'm sure all the guys got together after a few years and figured they might as well cook up the story about them being raped so they could sit around and have a few laughs about it.

Occupy L.A. Demonstrators Policed With Help of Private Security Known Downtown as 'The Shirts:' LAPD Says That's Not 'Typical'
In video of a police confrontation with Occupy L.A. protesters outside a Bank of America branch downtown over the weekend a few private security guards are seen, batons-in-hand, helping the LAPD form a skirmish line.
In fact officers can be seen pushing security guards into strategic positions as they face off against the so-called 99-percenters. The security employees push people back with batons and aim the business ends of the weapons at citizens. At least one guard even appears to participate in the arrest of demonstrator Anthony Loscano.
this is freaky
| 68 |
WINDUPBIRD DISEASE [S.K.U.M.M.] Thu, Dec 8, 2011 3:47:27pm |
These aren't just run-of-the-mill security guards though. They're the notorious "shirts," employees of downtown's business improvement districts, organizations that band together to increase security, clean up trash and lobby the city for improvements.Some, like the Downtown Center Business Improvement District and its president, Carol E. Schatz, are major voices at City Hall. One of the 10 most powerful people in L.A., Schatz has been a major supporter of the billionaire-controlled Anschutz Entertainment Group's proposal to build an NFL stadium on publicly owned property.
Homeless advocates have long accused the shirts of going beyond their authority (which is that of any normal citizen) and pushing people on the streets around, even assaulting them at times.
They're called the shirts because they wear bright-colored polo shirts depending on which downtown "BID" they work for. The guards helping the LAPD in this case wear purple tops (emblazoned in back with "DISTRICT SECURITY") and are employed by Schatz's Downtown Center BID -- even thought marchers were outside its zone (PDF of map).
so now we have this in America
Dark future ahoy, this is how we progress towards a police state, we don't have POLICE so much as we just have unaccountable citizens who get to play cop

Callaghan was party to a successful lawsuit against the LAPD and city that bars officers from arresting people simply for occupying sidewalks (namely sleeping on them).But she claims the shirts have been instrumental in doing dirty work the police can't. "They routinely roust homeless people," Callaghan says:
Police have a history of using them for things that they the police are not constitutionally allowed to do. They are answerable only to the business improvement districts who hire them even though they operate on public space.

While abuses have certainly occurred you are missing a big part of the story. I work where the shirts are purple. The Jewelry District BID. On many occasions I see these guys ride up on a "man down". Might be a sleeping homeless guy, or one in medical distress. They roll up and ask if the man down is okay. If he is lucid, no big deal. If he is sick, out cold or obviously unable to take care of himself, these "shirts" call paramedic help. Note that is when nobody else did! All those people walking by pretending not to notice the poor sot out cold and maybe at serious risk of some medical tragedy.
I imagine it gets much more sketchy on skid row. Bot we have to understand the advocates and Occupy people in particular rarely er understate the situation. Tear gas is a chemical weapon. A lack of water at the jail for 4 hours is called "torture".

IAF aircraft recorded direct hits on a center of terrorist activity in southern Gaza, as well as am additional terror target in northern Gaza.

You realize that the White House schedules these events months, maybe years in advance. Last year Hanukkah was on Dec. 15. They figured that it's always in December, usually a couple of weeks before Christmas.
Well, this year was a "leap year" according to the Hebrew calendar, so Hanukkah got pushed back, now it's the same week as Christmas.

We have friends, one of who is a Col in the Air Force, that wrote a recommendation for him. This has been gone over with a fine tooth comb. It has been a trip.
This whole security thing is making me paranoid. They asked my screen name and what sites I post on. That made me mad, but it's my son, so what am I gonna do. And to add to this, we travel back and forth to Iran over the years and they know it, but in the last year and a half we have been to Jamaica and husband went to Iran. We are now going through extra security now more than we went through before.

It's still hyperbole to protest pepper spray or tear gas with terms designed to invoke deadly war weapons such as Saddam used, or were used in WW1.

It's the official category of the US Dep't of Defense. It's obviously not the same lethality as VX, but it's use is supposed to be limited to aggressive crowds. The army gets a fatality on occasion, usually mishandling or horseplay.

I don't see how doubling down on the dismissive derision is going to help you here. And if you're going to cite Charles as the reason for your position, then you might want to quote what he had to say regarding this specific case, no?
But in this case, assuming this was a staged photo, or that the baby wasn't injured, is just NOT warranted. You can't come to that conclusion from one photograph. This is one frozen moment of time, and you can't see what was happening at that scene. He could have been switching the baby to a better position, there could have been someone out of the frame getting ready to take the baby, there could have been ANY number of reasons why that frozen moment exists.

If the incident didn't happen, it is easy to see how his wife would hold onto this as a last straw, and since she would now also be one of the accused by a witness, and it hadn't happened, it's easy to see why she would brush the testimonies off as lies.
Of course, from a more objective perspective, that's why you build a case - each particular accusation may not stand up, but the sum does.

How is "that part of the world" different from anywhere else in terms of fakery, dishonesty etc.? One must always be vigilant, true, but that doesn't pertain only to certain parts of the world.

Lulz - the stalkers are still going on about the Rachel Corrie story. Talk about being stuck in a time warp. You'd think they must have experienced some deep trauma to be so unable to move on.
Or that they don't have any actual facts, so they are relying on something they've already enshrined as fact in the hopes that no one will remember how fake their version of it is, & go back & check...

Doubling down? Maybe. But look at where I'm doing that.
"Given Reuters & others rep in the middle east, better to wait for further confirmation"
There is a reason I phrased it like that. My mind is made up to be skeptical of that kind of shot from that part of the world. And casting aspersions at Alouette was unwarranted. I stand by that too.
Surely I am not the only person who remembers "Green Helmet Guy" and the despicable shots of the re-used dead baby...?
