Washington Times Wingnut Wants Obama Impeached for Boston Bombings

The demented reactionary right wing is all that remains
Wingnuts • Views: 34,315

Things that are amazing about this Washington Times column:

  • Jeffrey Kuhner actually wrote it.
  • The Washington Times actually published it.
  • Kuhner is a regular columnist for this rag.

If you ever need a showpiece of the utter derangement of the conservative movement, here you go. Mainstream right wing thought, comin’ at ya: KUHNER: Obama’s 9/11.

The Boston massacre was a defining moment. It exposed Mr. Obama’s narcissistic and reckless approach to combating terror. There can be no illusions any longer — we are in a clash of civilizations between radical Islam and the West. Mr. Obama has denied this painful reality long enough. By burying his head in the ideological sands, he has made Americans pay a terrible price. It’s time he is held responsible for his gross negligence. It’s time that he be impeached. Justice demands no less.

This raving loon has previously called for Obama to be impeached over health care, and over the military intervention in Libya. This is what passes for conservative punditry these days.

16 wrenchwench  Fri, Apr 26, 2013 10:37:01am
Fifty-six percent of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. since 1995 have been perpetrated by right-wing extremists, as compared to 30 percent by ecoterrorists and 12 percent by Islamic extremists.

When Obama reacts based on facts, they call him narcissistic and ideological.

When Jeffrey Kuhner reacts based on his made up right wing ideological framework, I call it racist bullshit.

Joyner: The Government’s Failure to Stop the Boston Bombing Was Treason

Rick Joyner has traditionally been a rather low-key speaker, the sort who does not get particularly worked-up or animated about anything. But that was certainly not the case in this recent sermon he delivered in response to the Boston Marathon bombing where declared that the federal government should have been able to prevent the attack but were hampered due to infiltration by Muslim Brotherhood operatives into high-ranking official positions.

The failure to stop the attack, Joyner said, means that the blood of the victims is on the hands of the Department of Homeland Security and was either the result of disgraceful incompetence or outright treason … and “most people think it is treason now” because “there is a huge amount of evidence that this is being done to us intentionally”:

26 klys  Fri, Apr 26, 2013 10:39:59am

In a more serious response, the hyperbole, the amount of spin (and presumably confirmation bias in what he’s looking for in the research he did - assuming there was research), the lack of direct links to any sources (I’m sorry, but linking to a topic category at the paper does not count as sourcing a statement) - none of this would pass muster with a high school English teacher these days. Or at least none of my high school English teachers. Forget college.

Ironically, it’s (actual) fiscal conservatism that keeps the American people from supporting more wars. Heh, maybe the George W + Iraq + Afghanistan + tax cuts have convinced people that we can’t keep the Republican party to national office - because they make us poor.

There are a number of adjectives to apply, but it’s not treasonous.

OK, I admit I have a bug up my rear about that, but after years of dealing with “You liberal traitor” crap it’s pretty much instinctual now.

Treason, in the US, is very narrow and specific.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Obamas Visit Boston Marathon Bombing Victims At Hospitals « CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama visited victims of the Boston Marathon bombings at several hospitals Thursday afternoon.

After attending an interfaith service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the president rode to Massachusetts General Hospital where he met privately with patients, their families and hospital staff.

The First Lady went to Boston Children’s Hospital, where she visited the medical and surgical intensive care unit.

Afterwards, she went next door to Brigham and Women’s Hospital to meet more victims and their families for more than an hour.

The visits were off limits to the media and came on short notice for security reasons.

re: #97 Minor_L

Tell me about it.

I used to hang out on a forum with other archers and bowhunters, and once jokingly called Bush ‘Chimpy Mc Flightsuit’. One of the guys said, “Come on, Doug. You’re better than that.”

I reckoned he was right, that I should at least respect the office, so after that I invariably called him ‘President Bush’, or just ‘Bush’.

Once Obama was elected, though, it’s like there’s a contest to see who can come up with the most infantile, insulting epithet. I guess they’re NOT better than that!

Barney Frank On Boston Marathon Bombings: ‘No Tax Cut Would Have Helped Us Deal With This’

“In this terrible situation, let’s be very grateful that we had a well-funded, functioning government. It is very fashionable in America … to criticize government, to belittle public employees, talk about their pensions, talk about what people think is their excessive health care, here we saw government in two ways perform very well,” Frank said on CNN’s “Starting Point,” noting the cooperation between state, local and federal authorities.

“No tax cut would have helped us deal with this or will help us recover,” he said. “This is very expensive.”

This is exactly the kind of thing that the UN is for. If the UN fails, so be it, but it is simply not the US’s right or responsibility to selectively pile into countries that are deemed to be oppressing their peoples, whether such a conclusion is justified or not.

Obama did say, very specifically, that if Assad used chemical weapons that would put an end to our strategy of “stand back and let it play out” as the locals will.

If they determine that it’s not just a probably, that for sure Assad did use them… then we have to get involved or none of O’s threats to anybody anywhere will ever be taken seriously again.

I’m waiting for one of these idiots to eventually claim that ammonium nitrate can hold religious beliefs and the Texas explosion was due to some Muslim AN sneaking into the plant.

:p

Hate to break this to you but Larry Klayman already did that:

salon.com

From the salon article:

udicial Watch founder, conservative gadfly and birther Larry Klayman has some theories about the connection between the attacks in Boston, the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, and even the Oklahoma City bombings. The short answer: Muslims.

In a post on the right-wing site RenewAmerica, Klayman argues that President Obama is responsible for the attacks in Boston because of political correctness, “orchestrated and furthered by Obama and his minions,” because “Terrorists like Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, to avoid even the appearance of prejudice against Muslims, are even given scholarships to prestigious schools and entrees into other venues of American society, which they can use as cover for their plots.”

He continued: “Nor was there hardly any mention on any station or other press entity of even the possibility that Muslim terror was involved in the huge explosion that occurred in West, Texas, where a fertilizer plant blew up Wednesday, just days after the Boston Marathon bombing.”

GOP Congressman Says Islam Will ‘Motivate People To Murder Children’

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) during a hearing on Friday said that he believes that Islam as a whole is a threat to the United States, labeling it as a religion that will “motivate people to murder children.”

During a hearing he chaired on “Islamist Extremism in Chechnya: A Threat to the U.S. Homeland?” Rohrabacher continually referred to the 2004 Beslan hostage situation — in which Chechen extremists took control of a school in Russia resulting in the death of more than 180 children — as an example of the threat that Islam poses.

At one point, the California Republican sought to clarify that he wasn’t opposed to any religious group gaining power within a region — only Islam.

That’s funny, he sure sang a different tune back in the 1990s…

Rohrabacher voiced support for the Taliban when they seized power in the 1990s, visiting Afghanistan when it came under their control, saying that the Taliban would provide “stability”, and eliminate threats to the United States. He also claimed the Taliban “intend to establish a disciplined, moral society”. He said he believed complete Taliban control over Afghanistan would be a “positive development”, that they were “devout traditionalists, not terrorists or revolutionaries”, and that “sensationalist” media coverage of the Taliban’s introduction of Sharia law was “nonsense”.

Poor people pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes than someone who makes more than a million dollars. The millionaire may be paying more total dollars, but as a percentage of their income, it’s costing them less.

The GOP is hoping to further intensify that discrepancy by cutting rates for the wealthy while shifting the tax burden on to those who can least afford it (as Jindal attempted to do by eliminating the income tax and shifting the tax burden into sales and use taxes as well as excise taxes on liquor and alcohol - before withdrawing the proposal and demanding the LA legislature draw up something similar).

Part of that is due to the change in income source as the pay scale goes up - people who make more than a million dollars are rarely being directly compensated in salary at more than a million dollars, but make money from capital investments that are taxed at less than their income tax rate, lowering the effective percentage (usually rather drastically).

Bachmann attempts to quote Shakespeare, fails

We were listening to Representative Hoyer and Representative Pelosi be extremely passionate about the loss that we’ll see for children through Head Start, for senior citizens through Meals on Wheels, for children who will be dealing with various other food nutrition programs. That breaks everyone’s hearts. But I want to remind the people of this country that it was Former Speaker Pelosi, Representative Hoyer, Senator Reid and President Obama who signed the sequestration bill, and it was Press Secretary Jay Carney who admitted that the sequestration was President Obama’s idea. There were numerous Republicans that voted against the sequestration because we knew all of these calamities were in the future. And so it reminds me of the Shakespeare line, ‘Thou protestest too much.’ Didn’t you know this was going to happen? We knew it. That’s why we voted against this bill, and it seems like the higher the level of passion, that equals the conscience that we’re seeing of those who voted the wrong way on this bill the first time.”

Though Bachmann obviously misquoted Shakespearean line, which is “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” she also mistook the colloquial meaning — that someone objects to something so vociferously as to make the observer suspect that the speaker believes the opposite — and attributed the protestations to an attack of conscience. However, in Shakespearean times, “protest” actually meant to avow something, not object to it (a meaning that came into use in the mid-eighteenth century). In Hamlet Act 3, Scene 2, Gertrude says the line in response to a query from her son Hamlet about a play they are watching in which the fictional Queen promises her husband to never marry again because she loves him so much — i.e., she is promising so much, it is almost not to be believed. (Gertrude, by that point in the play, had remarried after Hamlet’s father’s death and over his objections.)

In other words, what Bachmann actually unknowingly accused Pelosi and Hoyer of was not caring about Head Start, Meals on Wheels or reduced-price school lunches at all.
