Creationist Bobby Jindal Represents America’s Stupid Party to Europe

Sheer idiocy
Wingnuts • Views: 40,235

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal just keeps proving over and over that the Republican Party really is the “stupid party,” going all the way to London to spew discredited far right talking points about nonexistent “no-go zones” in Muslim areas that even Fox News had to retract:

Jindal Stuck After Spreading Discredited Myth.

When Jindal said there are dangerous parts of London where people are uncomfortable, Foster explained that there are areas with higher crime rates, but “it’s not because there are too many Muslims there.”

Jindal replied, “I know the left wants to make this into an attack on religion and that’s not what this is.”

The projection in that last sentence is absolutely massive; the guy is viciously smearing and attacking Muslims with flat out lies… but it’s the left that’s attacking religion?

Jindal, of course, is the Republican governor who’s done more than any other to legitimize the teaching of creationism, climate change denial, and all manner of religious right pseudo-science in Louisiana. For him to idiotically repeat these debunked “no-go” claims is just par for the Jindal course.

David Cameron: US terror ‘expert’ Steve Emerson is a ‘complete idiot’
Prime Minister ridicules US pundit who claimed Birmingham is a no-go zone for non-Muslims

“Parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually beat and actually wound seriously anyone who doesn’t dress according to Muslim, religious Muslim attire,” he proclaimed, without giving examples.

He described Birmingham as one of a number of European cities “where sharia courts were set up, where Muslim density is very intense, where the police don’t go in, and where it’s basically a separate country almost, a country within a country.”

However, Emerson was not guilty of fabrication, just of overstatement. Some of the comments on a piece in the UK’s Daily Mail about his gaffe and British Prime Minister David Cameron’s reaction to it (he called Emerson a “complete idiot”) insisted that Emerson was at least partially right […]

There’s an epistemology at work here. Veracity is ascertained by a small cadre of people with the right* affiliations, not by empirical research, direct observation, or even first-person experience.

The explanation that is handed down will then be rehearsed, and anyone who rejects or questions it will be stigmatized. This pattern repeats within knowledge claims about science, history, and shit that literally just happened.

Zombie no-go meme:

The myth percolated to the top of the news cycle briefly in 2010 when Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle claimed that Dearborn, Michigan, and the made-up town of Frankford, Texas, were ruled by “Sharia law.” She didn’t use the term “no-go zone,” but was clearly influenced by the myth that had by then become established fact in fringe media.

As recently as last month, Gun Owners of America’s Larry Pratt was citing the myth to warn that U.S. protests against police brutality would create “no-go zones.”

You know what’s ironic? I’ve encountered wingnuts who love Dune. It’s fun to watch them when you point out that the religion of the Imperium is a syncretic form of Islam - and particularly that of the Fremen as well, to whom Paul Atreides passes himself off as the Mahdi. The wingnuts aren’t quite too sure what to make of all that……especially when you point out that the first novel takes place in the year 23,190 A.D. - 23, 193 A.D.

If this crap gets traction, things will get very ugly in the US very fast.

In the specific case of Jindal, he cannot claim to be ignorant of the consequences of a RW success along these lines. Therefore, he must approve of a rise of fascism in the US.

66 leftynyc  Jan 20, 2015 12:13:49pm

Well, this should have some heads exploding:

thedailybeast.com

Thursday is the fifth anniversary of Citizens United, and reformers have been told that the president may announce executive action in his SOTU speech that would require businesses contracting with the government to disclose political contributions after contracts have been awarded. This would ensure that the contracting process is blind, but also give the public (and the media) the information needed to connect the dots to look for backroom deals or conflicts of interest.

This should be a no-brainer for anyone wondering how the wheels get greased for government contracts, and it will be a significant breakthrough in exposing the influence of campaign contributions whether or not Obama announces executive action in the SOTU itself, or in the days following. Republicans once supported disclosure, but since Citizens United opened up more vehicles for money given anonymously, the GOP has taken a hands-off approach. Democrats, who once opposed disclosure as not going far enough, are now its biggest advocates.

Limbaugh Says Low Gas Prices Are A Sign Of Weak Economy — Guess What He Said When Prices Were High

Limbaugh opened the January 20 edition of his radio program by purporting to let listeners in on the “dirty little secret” behind these low oil prices — a struggling economy. Limbaugh charged, “One of the leading, or primary, reasons why the price of oil is down, and gasoline, is demand. Demand is down. And the demand is down because the U.S. economy’s in the tank.” The reason “you won’t find very many experts acknowledge this,” he went on, is “because it contradicts the idea that the economy is roaring back.”

If not for the grace of God, you, and millions of Texans, I would not be standing here today. Proverbs 21:31 says: “the horse is made ready for battle, but the victory is the Lord’s.” I worked hard, but the victory was His. I’m humbled, grateful, and blessed beyond belief for your trust in electing me as the 72nd Lt Governor of Texas.

In Matthew 20:26 the Bible says: “whoever wants to be a leader among you must first be your servant.” I stand here with a servants heart, respectful of all faiths, but as a Christian first, a conservative second, and a Republican third.

Limbaugh Says Low Gas Prices Are A Sign Of Weak Economy — Guess What He Said When Prices Were High

I’d be lying if I said this surprised me. The one thing you can depend on is that there is no such thing as good economic news when a Democrat is President. I’m waiting for unemployment to hit 5% and wages to start rising to hear that low unemployment is bad and hyperinflation a la Weimar is just around the corner, whereas for the last few years, HIGH unemployment is bad and hyperinflation a la Weimar is just around the corner.

I remember when Clinton was President the deficit was bad, until there was a surplus - then the surplus was bad.

Well, yeah, but when WE say it about ourselves, it’s TRUE!!

This is one of the things I find most odious about the Teabaggers - the elitism. Small town/rural people are the REAL Americans, not that majority of people who live in metro areas. Only landowners should be allowed to vote. Rich people are the real engine of economic growth.

I didn’t see it, but apparently Huck Mikeabee was going on about how “Bubbaville” is better than “Bubbleville”, with the usual resentment of the coastal areas where most Americans actually live, and particularly Harvard as the exemplar of All That’s Bad, and Stewart called him for using ‘Harvard’ as a derogatory term.

Oil prices are determined by global supply and demand. Global supply is outpacing demand, and one country where there’s economic growth at substantial rates is the US, whereas there’s recessionary pressure in Europe, Russia, and therefore the slack demand is causing prices to fall.

But of course Rush will claim that this is a sign of the economy in the doldrums all while the economy roars back as people start spending money that previously went to fuel on other stuff.

Reuters: Paris to Sue Fox News

Jan 20 (Reuters) - The city of Paris intends to sue Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News after the U.S. cable network “insulted” the French capital’s image, Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Tuesday.

During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Hidalgo said the city was planning legal action against Fox News because the honor of Paris had been “prejudiced.” The interview was scheduled to air on Tuesday.

In the wake of the deadly attacks at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and at a kosher supermarket in Paris, Fox News on Saturday apologized for portraying some neighborhoods in the city as no-go-zones.

Now CCJ is trying to pick a purist fight with Dana Loesch.

He sure starts drinking early in the day.

Reminds me of the scene in “Cat Ballou”, where Kid Shaleen goes from hungover and shaky, to calm and confident, to staggering drunk all within a few minutes:

“Never seen a man go through a day so fast!”

I really think that Hillary will have no competition in 2016 from the looks of who’s running in the R primary.

Every single one is a RWNJ or has so much baggage, it will be no contest.

I love the sound of a RWNJ catfight. It’s magical.

Cat fight is a good term for it.

I think it unwise to assume 2016 is a lock for Clinton in the general election.

Among other things, a RWNJ must be seen to be a RWNJ in 2016 for this to affect the election. I have no belief that the mainstream media will do their job of exposing the inevitable bad craziness of the GOP nominee.

Hillary Clinton has one very important thing for the raft of voters who can only be arsed voting in a(n open) presidential election—name recognition. The only GOP “candidate” that would even be close is Mittens—and he’s known only for losing.

What a noble goal. I wonder who’s truth and history he will be passing on. Or, is that just bad Tea Party gas he is passing?
