GOHMERT! John McCain “Supported Al Qaeda”
In today’s episode of Life With Gohmert, the irrepressible Texan tells the Values Voter audience that John McCain supports Al Qaeda. Oh, Louie!

Louie Gohmert is just butthurt because John McCain is a braver, smarter, and better man than he’ll ever be. His words are the whine of a loser.

I guess that according to the statement that Gohmert issued regarding the former GOP Presidential candidate is that we dodged a bullet by electing Obama then? who knew?
15 | Zamb Fri, Oct 11, 2013 3:10:16pm |
Can I assume this is in response to his position on Syria? I can only imagine if the positions were reversed we’d be hearing Gohmert accuse McCain and the President of gassing children. Never miss an opportunity to paint those you disagree with as the most evil and heinous individuals to have ever existed.

The kind of convoluted and defective reasoning we see here- AQ is alleged to operate with the rebels therefore we can conflate all rebels with AQ- is fairly typical of religious fundamentalists. Their brand of literalism essentially legitimizes strawmen, weasel words, and context errors. They are a diseased subculture.

As an NSA front for vilifying patriots and resisters, LGF was mistakenly selected for shutdown during the budget crisis.

The inattentive bureaucrats who made the original selection have been “furloughed” to FEMA Camp.

Wait, what?
A top aide to Republican New Jersey Senate hopeful Steve Lonegan went into decidedly not-safe-for-work territory when TPM asked why he thinks his candidate has been gaining on Democratic opponent Cory Booker in recent polls.
In a profanity-filled assessment of the race delivered via phone Thursday, Rick Shaftan, a senior staffer and key strategist on Lonegan’s campaign, suggested voters would be turned off by Booker’s “odd” behavior including Twitter messages the Democrat sent to a stripper, that Shaftan described as “strange” and “like what a gay guy would say.”
“It was just weird. I mean, to me, you know, hey, if he said, ‘Hey, you got really hot breasts man, I’d love to suck on them.’ Then like, yeah, cool. But like, he didn’t say that,” Shaftan explained. “It was like kind of like, I don’t know, it was like what a gay guy would say to a stripper. It’s the way he was talking to her. It’s just like like there was no sexual interest at all. I don’t know. To me, if I was single and you know like some stripper was tweeting me, I might take advantage of the perks of the office, you know?”
Newsflash asshole, strippers are human beings too. They work hard and provide a service that’s in demand. Treating them with respect, like the people they are isn’t queer, not that there’s anything wrong with being queer. Republicans just can’t help being misogynistic assholes.
Beyond the transparent gay baiting, this is an obvious lie. If Booker had communicated inappropriately with the woman, they’d be hyping that as a huge scandal.

re: #71 goddamnedfrank
However, in the interview with TPM, Shaftan said it was impossible Booker did not take notice of the topless pictures Lee regularly shared on her Twitter page.
“This is strange. It’s just weird. … It’s like, ‘I don’t know who she is. I don’t know anything about her.’ Get the fuck out of here dude. You can’t follow her Twitter page and not know she’s got those great breasts. How do you fucking not know?” Shaftan said. “It’s just too odd and people they just wonder, like, who does this guy really want to work for? Who’s he representing?”

re: #76 Kragar
What pissed me off most about the exchange was the whole “perk of the office” line. WTF was that shit?
Yeah, he clearly equates strippers with whores and public service with official corruption, which he apparently condones. One of my best friends, a woman I’ve known for 25 years worked for more than a decade as a dancer at the Lusty Lady in Seattle. She was there when it finally closed, and has nothing but fond memories of her time there. It was a good, well paying job and the downtown Seattle community loved that place and was sad to see it go.
It’s a huge pet peeve of mine to see people treat dancers, strippers and sex workers the way this guy did. In no small part because of the culture of violence it helps incubate, which these women suffer from disproportionately. Society created the demand, and it’s legal, so the absolute bare minimum decent thing to do is to treat the people who fill that demand like human beings deserving of basic respect.

Are you still treating gay marriage as a purely pragmatic lost cause for Republicans or have you evolved personally to view gays as human beings deserving of equal protection under the law?
I ask because the gay baiting attacks being employed against Booker are just as repugnant, bigoted and unacceptable as the racism he’s facing. Also, Chris Christie is currently fighting gay marriage in the NJ courts because he needs to pander to the anti-gay bigots that make up the GOP base.

So Shaftan woke up this morning as a senior staffer and got fired as a “vendor”.

How would you feel about someone who took your exact same “pragmatic” stance but applied it to racial equality?

Can’t. handle. the. awesome,” raved some tweets. “So much to see, so much to do!” said others. The only problem was the tweets weren’t actually written by the owners of the accounts on which they appeared.
The ghostwritten tweets, which included the hashtag #NYCC and a link to the event’s Facebook page, were posted on the Twitter feeds of many attendees after the event began. So, who was behind these phantom social media raves? None other than NYCC organizer ReedPop, of course. Attendees to this year’s convention were allowed to pre-register their RFID-enabled badges online, and during that process, to connect their social media profiles to their badges — something, the NYCC registration site explained, that would make the “NYCC experience… 100x cooler! For realz.”
Admittedly, most attendees didn’t expect “100x cooler” to translate into “we’ll use your social media presence to post spam in your feed as soon as the RFID badge senses that you’ve entered the Javits Center to attend the show,” but that seems to be what happened.

Each of the conferences is charting its own course to end the saga and evade a debt limit crisis on Oct. 17. But after two weeks of intraparty turmoil, neither side seems to trust the other about what the way out should look like. Senior senators describe little coordination between Republicans on each side of the Capitol on important decisions like spending levels and how long the government should be funded and the debt ceiling raised.The lines are so crossed that GOP senators asked President Barack Obama during a White House meeting on Friday to fill them in on the House plan, senators attending the meeting said. They simply hadn’t seen it.
Republican senators are maneuvering to cut a big bipartisan deal with the backing of the White House, which could jam a House GOP that is on a separate track in pursuit of a shorter-term fix. Senior House Republicans are scoffing at the leading Senate GOP proposal, while keeping their GOP Senate colleagues in the dark about their latest plans to end the impasse.
Remember kids, all politics is local. LOL.
Hey Dark, here’s another question for you to try and dodge, how does it feel to read shit like this? Your Party is brazenly airing its own pathological dysfunction in the world press, which would be funny if the stakes weren’t just so goddamned important.

re: #130 goddamnedfrank
From what I saw on MSNBC earlier tonight, the Senate GOP are trying to hammer out a year-long debt ceiling hike in exchange for a repeal on the medical devices tax, which is an idea that some of the Dems can get behind. The House GOP is working on a six-week debt limit hike but keeping the government shut down while they negotiate over defunding Obamacare.
Guess who the WH would be more likely to deal with?
Boehner and his caucus of howler monkeys in the House need to get over it already, They lost. They’re not going to get any traction out of anything that isn’t a serious proposal.

GOP Senators, “Obama can you ask the House if they like like me?
After this is all hashed out it’d be nice if McConnell went to Reid and both sides agreed to eject Ted Cruz from the Senate for fomenting insurrection. It would send a clear message to the tea baggers to watch their step, that the moderates will join with Democrats to cut the cancer out of the national body politic.
Won’t happen, and to be honest it could backfire on them pretty badly. Thing is though, no matter what else happens they’re looking at a hellish electoral future. The Tea Party is likely to split fully from the Republicans in several races this Fall, not accepting primary losses and challenging incumbent GOP reps all the way to the general election, handing those seats to the Democrats. If they go nuclear first and can inflict real harm on the Tea Party the Republicans could theoretically get ahead of this and ward off some of the damage by helping to paint the worst of the baggers for what they are, antithetical to responsible governance.
The downside that is that being the first nuclear strike in the GOP civil war, there’d be no going back. The moderates would absolutely have to win the battle for the Republican brand just to hold onto the fundraising apparatus, and even then they’re still probably forever fucked because Wall Street and the money men can’t trust them anymore. Their only hope going forward is to somehow magically repair all the damage, permanently sideline the religious right into a third party sideshow, do a quick 180 on social issues and immigration and relax their objections to raising revenues.
In the end, if I’m being honest, they’re a dying party of old white men. A collection of rigid, inflexible, stolid old fools, bigots and self interested pricks. There’s no way they pull this off.

re: #139 goddamnedfrank
have to agree with a lot of your points frank, never thought I would see the complete self-immolation of one of our national parties in my lifetime. The thing is, this is all self inflicted, the money chose to “ride the tiger” hoping to eke out along the margins, trying to keep the minorities, women, poor from all banding together by attempting to peddle their culture war mantra 24/7 and damned if it didn’t work for a while.
What will be fascinating will be to watch how this plays out, naturally I intend to follow the money to see where that coalesces and see if there will be an internal or external putsch within the ranks and how they hope to rid themselves from the extremists that they given a taste of power to, i.e. will there be a transition and how painful will it be and how much shit will they end up putting the country through as they get themselves reassembled into one, two or three factions… because we have the Corporatists, The Theocrats, the Loonies and The Grifters now, so who will be ascendant and do they all stay?

While that would be an amazing thing to see, I agree with you that it won’t happen. It would just make Cruz a martyr to the teabagger morons and they’d keep doubling down on the weapons-grade stupid.
However, in theory they could find a way to procedurally marginalize him for the remainder of his term. Voting to table any legislation he writes, moving him off the Judicary and Armed Services committees and giving him lesser assignments, etc. Make it clear that he doesn’t get to bring the nation to the verge of default for his pet causes and still have any sort of real part to play in the Senate.
In the end, if I’m being honest, they’re a dying party of old white men. A collection of rigid, inflexible, stolid old fools, bigots and self interested pricks. There’s no way they pull this off.
Oh, they know they’re a dying party. Demographic trends are death for the GOP. It’s why they work so hard to gerrymander districts and make it harder to vote, and why they’re acting so incoherent during this whole shutdown.
I’ve said before that a Mondale-style national beating would be the one thing to get the GOP establishment to finally kick the bigots and idiots to the curb the way the Dems marginalized the hippies and moonbats. I’m not so sure anymore. I’m thinking that the kamikaze actions of the GOP these past weeks and their fanatical determination to burn the country down to stick it to Obama finally woke the corporate establishment up from their stupor.
It will be really interesting to watch the GOP races in the next election. I suspect the teabaggers bringing us to the edge of default will be met with a whole lot of money going to their more moderate opponents.

I think that’s going to be the actual thing the saner big money is going to want to protect. If the nuts get hold of all what’s been gained and run it entirely, they’ll fuck it up. The money men aren’t going to go quietly with the teabaggers, not now. I’d bet the teabaggers go rogue and form that third party. They’ll get support and money funneled at them, but not enough to win anything other than the safe districts they already have. I honestly hope some of those safe districts shift some with the exposed nutbaggery, but it’s hard to tell what’s coming with these freaks.

Perhaps, but let’s remember that learning from history isn’t really their strong suit. I just can’t see the big money and corporate backers giving the old school GOP the heave ho and letting the Spite Caucus run everything. IMO, what they are really fighting over bottom line is an immense party infrastructure, everything from think tanks and lobby shops to the RNC and other fundraising committees and all points in between. That’s where the money is, with no financial backing, the teabaggers’ choices get really limited. The other question is can the old school GOP minimize the tea party? Is it too late to take the party back? Someone’s going to have to peel off and either go away or form into something else. There’s a lot of old entrenched money in there, it’ll be interesting to see where that old money goes and how much influence it still has.

Elephants Get the Point of Pointing, Study Shows
We point to things without giving much thought to what a sophisticated act it really is. By simply extending a finger, we can let other people know we want to draw their attention to an object, and indicate which object it is.
As sophisticated as pointing may be, however, babies usually learn to do it by their first birthday. “If you don’t get that they’re drawing your attention to an object, they’ll get cross,” said Richard W. Byrne, a biologist at the University of St Andrews.
When scientists test other species, they find that pointing is a rare gift in the animal kingdom. Even our closest relatives, like chimpanzees, don’t seem to get the point of pointing.
But Dr. Byrne and his graduate student Anna Smet now say they have discovered wild animals that also appear to understand pointing: elephants. The study, involving just 11 elephants, is hardly the last word on the subject. But it raises a provocative possibility that elephants have a deep social intelligence that rivals humans’ in some ways.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. States are trying to figure out ways to reopen national parks operated by the NPS because they’re having serious economic harms. Deals between NY, AZ, and the US govt has resulted in reopening the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon.
Rather rich that AZ’s Jan Brewer had to go scrounge up the money it takes to run the Grand Canyon because the feds shut it down all because the economic harms were too great. Guess the shutdown has some real effects that GOPers just didn’t like.
And that’s the problem with this workaround. The shutdown is supposed to be a situation that must be avoided because it has serious economic harms. Workarounds appear to make it more palatable, and that fits right into the GOP strategy of slicing and dicing government programs they don’t like. They’ve turned to using economic chaos as a tactic. Whether it’s the shutdown or the debt ceiling default, they think they can use these events as leverage. Neither should provide anyone leverage, and yet here they are doing just that - and the TP extortionists among the GOP are reveling in this.
Meanwhile, Steve Lonegan surprised me a bit when he decided to send his top campaign guy packing for the odious comments from yesterday. I would have thought he’d let him stick around for a few more days, or brush off the comments the way he usually does.
The attacks they made on Booker are asinine and misogynistic. If Booker had acted in the way they suggested, they’d be attacking him for the inappropriateness of those comments and indicating that he shouldn’t be running. Instead, Shaftan and Lonegan revealed that they really do see women as objects and intend to alienate half the population of NJ in one fell swoop. And that’s after making comments that would alienate the African American and other minority communities in the state.

Lynsie Lee had probably the best summation of the GOP/Shaftan/Lonegan’s position about Booker:
Lee, reached by phone today, said she questioned whether the Shaftan interview would hurt Lonegan’s campaign more than Booker’s.
“It sounds weird. He’s supposed to be conservative and he’s ragging on Cory Booker for acting conservative,” Lee said. “He’s trying to make Cory Booker look bad, I think it made him look worse.”
The Booker campaign was not amused by Shaftan’s rant.
“These comments are disgraceful, demeaning and beneath even the incredibly low bar set by the Lonegan campaign thus far,” Booker spokeswoman Silvia Alvarez said. “If you want insight into the kind of senator Mr. Lonegan would be, start here.”
Troy Stevenson, head of Garden State Equality, the state’s largest gay rights group, said Shaftan’s “homophobic, misogynistic and pornographic tirade is a disgrace.”
Booker acts appropriately and how conservatives claim to act and Lonegan’s campaign chief thinks he should have been inappropriate. which is all too often how conservatives do act.

re: #190 lawhawk
The attacks they made on Booker are asinine and misogynistic. If Booker had acted in the way they suggested, they’d be attacking him for the inappropriateness of those comments and indicating that he shouldn’t be running. Instead, Shaftan and Lonegan revealed that they really do see women as objects and intend to alienate half the population of NJ in one fell swoop. And that’s after making comments that would alienate the African American and other minority communities in the state.
A lovely bunch.
what, just because they called Newark a black hole? Just an astronomical term, c’mon, you know how scientifically inclined they are, physics is their life, what kind of racist would think they meant anything else?

Clearly Shaftan’s comment are a misfire from a campaign standpoint, as well as being reprehensible.
But the general campaign strategy behind those comments is old and well known. He put Booker into a sentence or two that reminded people about the stripper kerfuffle, suggested he was gay and also mentions political corruption. He put distasteful things in a sentence with Cory Booker that would receive air play.
That’s a long time ploy, even though it horribly, horribly backfired here.

The Confederate Flag and Politics
By Rick Shaftan
…This flag issue will grow in significance not just in South Carolina but elsewhere. This fall, my wife and I saw Lynard Skynard at the Meadowlands here in NJ. The biggest cheer came when a hundred foot long Confederate flag dropped down as they opened “Sweet Home Alabama.” Virtually every booth at the Sussex County fair (which next year will be the New Jersey State Fair) was selling Confederate merchandise.
Because the legislature’s approval is necessary for any change in the flag status, the issue will override all others in this year’s races. If Republicans hold the State House, which is highly likely, efforts to remove the flag will end. If they take the State Senate. You will see expanded efforts in other Southern states to provide recognition for the Confederate flag, seen by some as a symbol of heritage and others as a symbol of rebellion against political correctness.
I saw some very strong intensity on this issue, something the PC types in the media and others do not understand. This is a strong single issue vote. The “respectable” business and church interests in the state who switched sides and called for the flag to be taken down made a serious mistake here and will find that they will not be able to count on the “redneck vote” when the chips are down. Bush is smart enough to realize he cannot win the White House without these voters. McCain doesn’t believe in anything, and therefore is able to take the SCV and the NAACP position at the same time. This is why he isn’t going anywhere…

The Night Dixie Burned Down John McCain
by Rick Shaftan
The firewall in SC held solid for Bush, as conservatives, rebel flag supporters, and pro-lifers came to his rescue putting him over the top by a solid 13 points. More importantly, Bush won all six Congressional Districts and lost only Charleston County…
…Bush’s victory proves that the more things change the more they remain the same. Make no mistake about it, everytime the media talked about “Democrats and Independents” supporting McCain, most South Carolinians heard “Black Voters.” Hyping a large black turnout is the old trick used to turn out a large white vote and it still works today. McCain even lost the black majority Sixth Congressional District, where this strategy would obviously work best with minority whites…
Bush won because he made a solid appeal to conservative voters; he even had me sympathetic to him. Whether he succeeds in this election and beyond depends on whether he sticks with the people who carried him through Carolina or attempts to appeal to the PC types, media elites, abortion enthusiasts, campaign finance reform freaks, rebel flag burners, and Al Gore supporters who suffered such a humiliating defeat in Dixie last night.

The fatal flaw with that strategy is that it makes no attempt to appeal to those outside the base. If a political party has none to minimal appeal to anyone beyond their core constituency, they are doomed. The party simply becomes a vast, ideologically self-reinforcing echo chamber.

He thinks McCain should have appealed to those voters even more, after he had already given them the giant word salad that is Sarah Palin.
But while the McCain family’s 19th and 20th Century roots are in Mississippi, John S. McCain III is not ‘from the South’. He has made clear he was really from the US Navy and expect for his time as a POW he was rarely in one place for long till he retired from it. Thus waving the Confederate flag holds no appeal for Sen. McCain, as he feels no real attachment to it.

It just looks to me that Cuccinelli isn’t even trying to appeal to anyone beyond the TP’ers. Not exactly a recipe for electoral success, unless a pretty clear majority of the entire state’s population consists of that particular core constituency.

I’m not sure at this point who is going to oust who. There’s a lot of infrastructure the GOP has built up over the last 30-40 yrs. I think that’s going to be the actual thing the saner big money is going to want to protect.
The problem for the non-insane parts of the GOP establishment is that it doesn’t cost that much money to primary ‘RINOs’ at the national Congressional level, and costs even less to primary candidates for state legislature level.
Here’s my prediction:
* The GOP establishment and Wallstreet money effectively withdraw (get pushed out) to the national infrastructure that has been built up, leaving the GOP party at the local and state level being controlled by the TeaHadists.
* The results in an almost complete breakdown in national co-ordination of message control and strategy for all state-wide and congressional elections for the GOP. This leads to feelings of euphoria as the TeaHadists get more extremist candidates elected, whilst leading to a decline in the total number of GOP elected officials.
* The TeaHadists declare the final push for victory and start a new round of purging people they consider to be RINOs - which by this point includes anyone who doesn’t have a copy of the constitution tatooed on their forehead.
It’s only when the TeaHadists have thinned their own ranks through fighting within themselves will it be possible for the GOP establishment to move out from their redoubts and reassert control over the Republican party.

The House GOP’s Little Rule Change That Guaranteed A Shutdown
Late on the night of Sept. 30, with the federal government just hours away from shutting down, House Republicans quietly made a small change to the House rules that blocked a potential avenue for ending the shutdown.
It went largely unnoticed at the time. But with the shutdown more than a week old and House Democrats searching for any legislative wiggle room to end it, the move looms large in retrospect in the minds of the minority party.
“What people don’t know is that they rigged the rules of the House to keep the government shut down,” Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), ranking member of the House Budget Committee, told TPM in an interview. “This is a blatant effort to make sure that the Senate bill did not come up for a vote.”
Here’s what happened.

Russia reportedly planning state-controlled ‘Sputnik’ search engine
“In what appears to be a further attempt to censor the internet, Russia is reportedly building its own state-controlled search engine. The report comes from Russian newspaper Vedomosti, which claims that the search engine will be called Sputnik, and is being developed by state-owned telecom Rostelecom. It could potentially become the default search tool for government institutions. The telecom has reportedly invested more than $20 million in the project, and is attempting to lure talent from rival companies with hopes to launch the search engine early next year. However, even if the report is true, the search engine will likely have a tough time cracking the Russian market. Local company Yandex holds more than 60 percent market share in the country, with the likes of Google and other search engines filling out the rest. “With its lack of expertise, the venture is unlikely to meet with success,” says VTB analyst Ivan Kim.”

My older son is following in his father’s footsteps, attempting to talk sense to Conservatives on the internet. I believe I’ll call him ‘Speaker to Idiots’. He does need some lessons on proper sourcing of facts. I’ve found that you can often shut them up by using their own sources against them. Often, but not always.
Last year, he thought he wanted to go into politics. He’s very bright, and because of the Aspergers I think he has difficulty grasping the Conservative mindset of living in constant denial of simple fact and reason. He thought all he had to do was explain things right. If only!

I have not heard any reports that she’s accepting money for posing, so they can’t arrest her for prostitution. Shanghai has plenty of other girls who do accept money for more services than just posing for cellphone snaps, and the police just leave them alone, too.
On a related note, Sora Aoi is very popular in China, although officially none of her videos or photosets can be sold in China.

Unless I’m misinformed, that’s no lead for hunting. The downside there might be some hunters return to steel bullets. They can be a fire hazard. As far as I know target shooting is still unhindered.

It didn’t get that far. It escalated/devolved pretty quickly once I heard “That’s the President” when I mentioned the shut down.

Copper, maybe, but don’t use bronze for bullets! If a handgun has been made for that caliber of bullet, the ATF considers any bronze bullets made for said caliber to be “armor-piercing handgun ammunition”. The ATF had been looking into revising the criteria regarding bronze, but their work on reclassification has been put on hold by the shutdown. Thanks, Gohmert!

Spencer and Geller continue walking back their support for tommy Robinson leaving the EDL.
I had no idea that it was a Quilliam press conference, and certainly had no idea that Tommy and Kevin Carroll would be led around like dogs 0n a leash. It was after that phone call, and before I had any idea that Tommy would be closely allying with false moderate Muslim deceivers who would crow about “decapitating the EDL,” that Robert Spencer and I composed our first statement, supporting Tommy and his decision. We never would have come out in support of him if we had known that he would soon be parroting politically correct nonsense about “extremists on both sides.” (OMG! MBF! - ed)
…..
Then at the press conference, both he and Kevin Carroll were the showcases of a Quilliam victory dance. They looked eerily reminiscent of the American POW’s taken by enemy combatants and forced to say things they did not believe before cameras.I only subsequently learned, after releasing our initial statement of support, that he had been meeting with Islamic supremacist deceivers like Mo Ansar for 18 months, and was taking instruction on Islam from the false moderates of the Quilliam Foundation.
…..
It has become painfully obvious that the enemies of freedom have broken Tommy Robinson.

See 349. You’re right, about the wrong response and Christie having not enacted abortion restrictions.
I’m still of the mind that he will do anything to get the POTUS nomination, and he will radicalize the closer we get to that.
As far as my statements about the GOP and the shutdown: not walking that back. It wasn’t the right response for your defense of Christie, but I’ve had it up to here with “Obama’s to blame for the shutdown, too.” You unfortunately drew the short straw.

I suspect his heart is sincere but he may remain a douchebag, that might be a permanent condition. Mostly I’m just enjoying watching the fighting over something they were all warned about years ago.

I think they really, really want him to retire and clear the way for Palin to run in his spot. She is so much more malleable.
That’s very clear. For the past 2-3 years, she’s made an effort to establish AZ residency, without actually saying so. (Not receiving the Alaska Permanent Fund money for a couple years says a thing.)
Whoever her handlers are, they’re playing a deep game, kinda haphazardly (because we can see it), but endgame is clear: Palin takes McCain’s seat.
And Johnny Mac either:
* Rebukes this idea, because he knows how she is unfit for office, throwing crap on his selection of her as VP candidate; or
* Supports it quietly, because of his previous selection of her as VP candidate, or they have dirt# on him.

A worthwhile and well reasoned article from Harry’s Place on Robinson and the EDL….
Tommy Robinson’s disengagement from the EDL is welcome but his next steps are even more important
De-radicalisation rarely occurs with a bang, with an instantaneous “Eureka!” moment of self-awareness. More often, it occurs over a period of time, beginning with much questioning and doubt, followed by a physical disengagement from one’s radical affiliations, followed - in some but not all cases - by a comprehensive re-alignment of one’s values.
Tommy Robinson says he has now renounced the English Defence League (EDL) and, by extension, some of his former associates. This physical disengagement from the group and its members, likely only partial at present, is therefore not the end of a de-radicalisation process but is rather the first small step of a much longer spiritual and intellectual journey.
Although the usual coalition of left-wing columnists, hard-right Islamists and closeted academics have already tried to discredit this development, Robinson’s public resignation from the EDL is a important and humiliating blow to the group, one of the most ‘successful’ far-right street movements in recent British history.

Or maybe you recall sharing my personal favorite, “Your sexual experiences don’t dictate your worth just like a woman’s sexual experiences don’t dictate hers.”Last but not least, do you remember calling your son out when you discovered he was using the word “slut” liberally? Or when you overheard him talking about some girl from school as if she were more of a conquest than a person?
I want you to consider these conversations and then ask yourself why you don’t remember them. The likely reason is because you didn’t have them. In fact, most parents haven’t had them.
By contrast, here are some conversations you might have a better recollection of. I’ll give you a telling hint: they probably weren’t with your son.

Of course, some people will want Robinson, and his backers at Quilliam, to fail, almost as if they would prefer the present status quo to continue. Indeed, a cynic could point to the fact that some prominent critics of his rejection of the EDL, like Nottingham University academic Matthew Goodwin, the recipient of almost £100,000 of UK government funding to research the far-right, have a vested interest in the survival of the EDL.

That hogwash discredits the rest of the piece. One might as well say that doctors do not want to see diseases eradicated because they make their livings treating sick people.
And why would the author not think the same criticism is equally valid when applied to himself?
James Brandon is an Associate Fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) at King’s College London. He was Quilliam’s Director of Research and Communications from 2008 to 2011.
Is he pro-radicalisation? A cynic might suggest so.
Also, since he’s from Quilliam, of course he would tend to take Tommy’s change of heart as sincere more so than the average observer.

re: #401 wrenchwench
The next paragraph states that there is some legitimate reason for concern and doubt….
Some scepticism towards Robinson’s move is of course natural; his ‘change’ may be a tactical ruse to ‘mainstream’ his extremism, as some fear. Alternatively, he may not be fully de-radicalisable; not all extremists are. But, while remaining sceptical and cautious, we should welcome the possibility that his professed willingness to reform is genuine. The EDL was a vile and disruptive presence, frightening ordinary Muslims and providing easy ammunition for radical Islamist recruiters wanting to depict the British people as the enemy. With the departure of Robinson, its most able leader, we may now have an opportunity to destroy a movement that has been both troublesome and stubbornly enduring.
Quilliam should therefore not rest on its laurels; a long-term strategy needed to ensure that Robinson becomes not just an ex-EDL leader, or worse the founder of a new EDL-lite, as some fear, but rather a champion of genuine liberalism and moderation.

I see that only as a part of trying to seem fair and balanced. He is lashing out at a man who is much more skeptical about Tommy’s sincerety. First he calls him a ‘closeted academic’, then he slurs him with the statemnt I pointed out above. He’s mad that Matthew Goodwin wrote this:
[…]
That both Lennon and Quilliam were so aggressive in advertising to the media the apparent conversion and celebrating their publicity on Twitter should speak volumes. The dignified and difficult work of counter-extremism was not really there, replaced by an uncomfortable descent into self-promotion with little evidence of substantive change. A cynic could point to the fact that both the EDL and Quilliam have had their own difficulties in recent months and that this is all a ruse to make Lennon’s warped view of Islam seem mainstream. After all, in the late 1990s one fairly prominent activist made a similar stand, complaining that demonstrations and violence were not the way forward. His name was Nick Griffin.

Yeah, I don’t do zombies or vampires. It was one of those movies I watched so I wouldn’t be too behind on current pop culture.
I like GOOD vampire stories.
There aren’t many on the ground so far.

Because they can’t accept that gentle, reserved, loose, and uninhibited can exist simultaneously.
I could tell you stories.
The gingers are the best ones. ;)

Dear Penthouse Forum,
I always thought these stories were fake, until last summer, at band camp….

That’s one of the older boy’s favorite sayings. We’ll be watching a TV show or a movie, and the critical bad decision gets made, and he says, “Well, THIS will all end in tears!”
Heh, I do that too.
Hub’s favorite sayings in those situations are “that’ll leave a mark” or “he’ll feel that in the morning”.

I wouldn’t know. Never been with one. My wife did dye her hair auburn, once.

The Mrs. Fish is a strawberry blonde. My own hair is brown, but my beard comes in red. Imagine my surprise when both of the fishspawn came out red-headed.

WWZ kinda sucks.
(Note that I hate bad zombie movies/lit, and 95% on the genre is bad.)
Also, I think this seeming desire for a zombie apocalypse, where everyone can be a hero because they have a gun, is a sad comment on the minds of our reading and watching public.
Fuck zombies. Fuck them
to deathbeyond death with spoons.
fwiw, you know how I’d like to have produced WWZ?
As a TV series.
All chapter 1 is is the intro, and the 13 parts of chapter 9 are “where are we now” episodes. It’s the 45 event parts in chapters 2-8 that make the tale.
I think it’s possible to blend two or three parts from event chapters together and use a closer from chapter 9, doing it in 13 one-hour episodes. There are a small group of tales that would get left out, but it would make the thing work. You’d lose the linear/chronological episodic nature of the novel itself, but you’d get a show you could run on the networks. And if you decided to/got persuaded to do a second series, well, there are a lot of tales hinted at within the novel that could be expanded.

Oh no. Not at all. Handle red-heads/gingers with care!
Trust me. Experience. I think they’ve bought into the mythology.
I’ve had sex with a ginger who thoughts she was a witch (had no actual knowledge of witchcraft at all; I think she was more saying she was in the CARRIE vein) and my ginger ex-wife (who had strong pagan beliefs, but the morals crumbled under her self-interest), who thought her shit didn’t stink.
Red-heads always catch my eye, just like platinum blondes, but I’m past thinking that’s appealing enough to talk to them.

There’s a great WDVE (Pittsburgh) parody song for this. Alas, I sold my CD in senior year for ramen and smokes.
…
And now it’s worth $80, according to Amazon.
Shoot me in the head.
