We Got Mail!

Moonbats • Views: 3,803

Since Glenn “Punk” Beck spewed insults at me on his Fox News show today, I’ve received almost two dozen hate mails from his fans. Here’s one, from someone who thinks he’s being clever by using a proxy IP address. I’m leaving all the nastiness intact, so you can savor it like a fine stinky Camembert:

Hello Charles,

I’m reading posts by your drooling, sycophants and wondering. Do you actually believe this shit? Do you actually have such a low opinion of yourself that you NEED this on a daily basis?

“Beck can’t hold a candle to Charles.” (ohhhhh I think I came in my pants.)

“Charles i have to say, you are a hero holding the line aginst crazyness”.. translation>> (oh my… I just love fascists like you Charles…if everyone could just be like you and me the world would be perfect.) I see your knuckle dragging enablers also are not so smart…i.e. not smart enough to use a spell checker before posting.

Opps, geez I found something that doesn’t tow your fascist line.

“I haven’t been on this site in a while, but I don’t get the anti-Beck vitriol. What is that all about?” Better ban his guy quick he doesn’t think like you and the other tools on your blog.

Anyway, I’ve had enough of your excrement for today so I will move on. Besides more than a few minutes reading posts by you and your slobbering imbeciles…well I think I may have thrown up a little in my mouth…. woof.. what a horrible taste that leaves.

Have a smiley faced day you enema bag.

M.D.

It’s always a special treat when these morons bash people for not using a spell checker, while their own emails contain numerous spelling and grammatical errors.

Just two dozen? If Beck's as popular as some people think, then his followers must be having an off-day.

Or even more off than usual.

Fellow lizards and Charles,

I'll admit that I, too, have had deference with Charles publicly over the past couple of days about his skepticism regarding these "movements."

Apparently, Charles, you sensed (and saw) something lurking beneath some of it , and were proven 100% right today.

He does. He's the type that is in love with the actual sound of his own voice, and it's reflected through his intonation and sentence structure.

Beck tweaked me at times, but was tolerable on CNNHN, and was okay on the radio.

On his fox show, I wonder if he is on cocaine, or if he even hears himself.

re: #43 Pvt Bin Jammin

Is it just me or does it seem like this letter is coming from one of the banned, with a big-time grudge?

Yes, it's definitely someone who was banned. Here's one it sent on April 10th:

Charles,

You booted me off your Nazi totalitarian forum the other day. Wow, how
cool of you to do that. Geez, just because I had the nerve to have an
opinion contrary to your own.

Could it be possible that your narcissistic personality disorder makes
it so you need to be surrounded by mindless, drooling, sycophants that
can only cling to your every word as if it were handed down from God.
[Oh, Charles your words are muzak to my ears. (swoon)] Opps, I forgot
you don't believe in God. My bad....sorry.

You even used your God complex to try and block my I.P. address. Opps,
guess that didn't work too well.

Anyway, I think I will occasionally write you just to be a pest. You
see I like to hear myself pontificate also.

So, anyway Charles you ass-hat, please keep up the great work we need
people like you to remind us of what our country is coming to. A new
fascist state that only allows correct thinking as defined by a douche
bag such as yourself.

Now go pound sand Charles,

M.D.

Good on you if so. What happened?

My comments from yesterday were mainly skeptical of the fact that some on LGF thought the tea parties were rubbish.. or not worth it- because of the infiltration of a few fringe wackos and paulians.

Being that many were inspired to attend by Beck's program, this puts things into perspective.

I remember back when Beck had surgery a couple of years ago after hurting himself. This was not long after he started on CNN, and was of course while he was doing his radio show.

Beck did the show live from the hospital bed, then eventually from his bed at home (those may have been recorded segments.. I can't remember... sort of a "journal" with he and his camera.)

I distinctly remember listening to him and thinking he was not even remotely in his right mind... going on and on about how horrible his experience in the hospital was... drawing out every word about his awful experience... on and on and on for hours, while quite obviously under the influence of pain meds. Someone should have pulled the plug on that. It was horrible to listen to.... it bordered on complete narcissism and made absolutely no sense.

I'll see if I can dig up the audio or video.

IMO, CNN probably kept him on a shorter rein. He was definitely a token they used to "show" they were fair. They weren't interested in driving off the left-leaning audience they already had by letting him go crazy. Fox already had a subset of his audience, so they don't think attracting the crazies will drive away a significant part of their viewers.

262 Grand Poobah  Thu, Apr 16, 2009 6:36:19pm

What is sad is that ultimately, I would argue we are all on the same way?

Is this how LGF at large responds to this sort of malarkey? I don't believe a whole lot of this interchange is "legitimate," as in I think left wing peeps caught hold and saw a chance to split people into separate groups.

That said, Charles, you mentioned in the other post libertarians were the same sort as people in the Constitutional Party. NOTHING could be farther from the truth.

While I am not a libertarian, I do sympathize quite a bit with their fundamental ideals, being the idea that the government serves to protect our rights defined in the Bill of Rights and instill order where there might not have been any before. That and the idea that trade and interchange of money and goods should not be restricted by governmental interference.

The Constitutional Party is composed of old school isolationists and, perhaps people who COULD INDEED be described as conservative people.

However, I do genuinely believe the "Right" has been mislabeled. Instead of simply being conservatives, we are the REAL liberals--we believe in change not simply for the sake of such but that will insure the protection of our rights, both present and future.

I also contend that the political spectrum has been skewed. Fascism, Socialism, Communism, Totalitarianism are all products of leftist thinking--that is people who favor more government, while the far right is composed of Anarchists and so forth.

Moderates meanwhile occupy the center, such as Regan, FDR (although he was VERY LEFT relative to moderates), and Churchill.

That is my take. Now as I see it, you're all throwing insults at each other, while the mobtastic lefties are rubbing their fingers in glee, perhaps fanning the flames to their own benefit.

Which group, and which someone? Are you referring to yourself?

Remember, the blog still belongs to Charles Johnson. His opinion is that Beck's drooling and acting as if he's throwing gasoline around on the stage is not doing the right's causes any good.

I happen to share his opinion.

Who is kosher to be in that coalition, who is too dangerous to legitimize by including in that coalition, and who do you have to hold your nose and tolerate in order to have enough support for the coalition to be effective in defending the global war against Islamofascism?

2 dozen tho...Could it be that the ronpaulians who spammed this site's polls and any other poll during the election by the hundreds are slipping that bad? I laughed hard when the answer to any stupid shit online was "Ron Paul"...of course, that ridicule from myself and the rest here didn't faze them a bit, did it? Still they might think they have reason to pile on when their boys plans are foiled...I wonder what slowed them down.

Indeed. Beck really does owe Charles a chance to appear on his show and respond now.

However, I'm not sure I'd recommend that Charles do it. I hear the process of searching guests for secret government-implanted surveillance devices can be rather invasive.

re: #366 albusteve

so will the rest of America...FOX is a bust and the only reason Beck has a venue to contaminate events is because you watch him....think about it once

Rupert Murdoch has made billions servicing the Lowest Common Denominator - With his newspapers and TV Networks - Page Three Girls, Outrageous Tabloids, Raving Mad TV Commentators. He is thinking about the bottom line, and Glenn Beck brings the viewers. What he says is of little concern to Murdoch, he is looking at the $$$ he can charge for the commercials. If some raving lunatic like Oblermann started attracting numbers, Murdoch would put him on FOX in a second. I think many people lose sight of the fact that FOX News is in the entertainment business, they are not the curators of the conservative mantle. They have been much better than most of the other MSM, but they are still in it for the money, not the philosophy.

Good evening.

The market rose 1% to 2% (depending in the benchmark you use) based on better than expected unemployment numbers and bank profit numbers.

It also looks like another Obama official might have some trouble.
Auto task-force head Rattner linked to probe: WSJ

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Steven Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration's auto task force, was one of the executives involved with payments under scrutiny in a probe of an alleged kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund, The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
A Securities and Exchange Commission complaint says a "senior executive" of Rattner's investment firm met with a politically connected consultant about a finder's fee, the report said. The firm subsequently received an investment from the state pension fund, then paid a $1.1 million fee, it cited the complaint as saying.
The "senior executive," not named in the complaint, is actually Rattner himself, according to the Journal report's unnamed source.

I think I see a pattern emerging with this administration.

I will not bump him fist to fist
His vapid lips will stay unkissed

Can someone tell me which two clicks of research I have to do so that I too can realize that the woman at the book-burning meeting was actually just a liberal plant?

If a "plant" spouts conspiracy kookery at a crowd, and the crowd does not object, does the crowd consider him/her to be kook or kindred?

“You’re” is always a contraction of “you are.” If you’ve written “you’re,” try substituting “you are.” If it doesn’t work, the word you want is “your.” Your writing will improve if you’re careful about this.

If someone thanks you, write back “you’re welcome” for “you are welcome.”

I still wouldn't want to fuck with him. Unlike some people who do (or attempt to do) martial arts in the movies, Segal has the rank to back it up. IIRC, he's a 6th Degree Black Belt. By way of comparison, I am a third degree black belt.

I just find it odd that he let himself go like that. I still think he is a badass as well. I like Will Sassos take on Steven Segal.

Glen Beck is an egomaniac and a cliche spewing blowhard. If he ever had an original thought it would die of loneliness. People like him won't help any Republican candidates get elected. The opposite is true. For every one voter he attracts to the GOP he will repel three. He might as well be on Howard Dean's staff.

Being anti-idiotarian means you are loyal to facts and reason, not to political parties or rah rah dunces like Beck. Oh and just a bit of background. I have voted straight ticket GOP in every National election since 1982. That is 14 National elections and I have never voted for a single Democratic candidate. And Beck thinks I'm the problem? What a dolt.

His stupid bullshit tactics won't help the GOP win any seats in 2010.

Of course I meant it. You like she have worked your way up on your own merit, put up with people questioning your right to your own beliefs, whether because of gender, color, creed. You like she are courageous, unfailingly positive, make lemonade from lemons, didn't have things handed to you on a silver platter, weren't born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

I used to like FOX News, but ever since they started veering over heavily to being the kook network (Alex Jones! Ron Paul! Glenn Beck!), I've lost my taste for them.

No, I wasn't calling you stupid, but if the shoe fits... ///

Seriously, you didn't really post anything cogent there...we've been taking Beck to task for acting like a unhinged lunatic as of late and having nutball guests on and Beck fires back at Charles, while doing that creepy MLK comparo. A recently banned Lizard decides to write Charles a nonsensical screed defending Beck and dissing Charles and the rest of us, so Charles put that up for discussion and derision. Because you apparently think we've been criticizing Beck too much here lately, you want us to discuss such burning topics as United charging double for obese people to fly?

Karridine, how about a man on the scene report...what the hell is going on over there?

There's a SERIOUS power-struggle going on, and the Yellow-Shirts vs Red-Shirts are just the visible manifestations of this disunity...

The king can no longer unify the Thai people, and the stakes here are HUGE! Thaksin was ousted by coup, then his people were elected in a fair election early last year, BUT THE Yellow Shirts (YS) decided THEY would not live with THAT, so they began the Govt House paralysis sit-in late last year, that ended (after months being sheltered by YS sympathizers in Parliament) in violently taking over the national airport, stranding 163,000 travellers for 10 days, and CRIPPLING the Thai economy in one swell foop!

NOW, the Red Shirts (RS), who have been law-abiding for the last 2 years of YS obstructionist, Thai-wrecking shenanigans, have taken to the streets, and the YS symps in govt set the Army on them, with live ammo, which triggered this morning's event: an attempt on the life of the leader of YS.

I don't like him or his style, but in NO WAY do I support violence or assassination!

That's what the Shadow knows now...

Here is a classic example of people writing articles on things they have no idea what they are talking about.

Pound Makes U.K. No ‘Basket Case’ as Brown Trails (Update3)

April 16 (Bloomberg) -- The pound’s rally to $1.50 for the first time in three months shows financial markets are growing more confident in Gordon Brown even as he has yet to benefit in the polls during Britain’s worst recession since 1984.

The currency rebounded 2.2 percent versus the dollar this year to as high as $1.5068 today, and strengthened 8.2 percent against the euro. Nationwide polls show Brown’s Labour Party trailed the Conservatives, led by David Cameron, for the past year. Now, investors are betting the U.K.’s $2.7 trillion economy will be among the first to recover from the global slump.

“At the margins, it takes a lot of pressure off Gordon,” said Stewart Robertson, an economist at Aviva Investors in London, which manages about $230 billion in assets. “Getting headlines for plummeting currencies off the front pages is good, as there’s less talk of the U.K. being a basket case.”


The reporters are not even close to the reason why the pound has rallied.
The reason is that the dollar is being dumped by some large investors out of fear of depreciation due to all the deficit spending. That wealth has to go somewhere, and a lot of it bought up pounds instead.

This is a real good example of why you have to be very careful believing what you read.

I think I will go listen to my Smiths cd

You dig the Smiths! Johnny Marr is an awesome guitarist and composer. I never did see the Smiths but did catch The The in the late '80s when Marr was touring as the guitarist (which was really the only reason I went). After the first encore, Marr came out onstage alone and broke into the gorgeous intro to How Soon Is Now and the audience went nuts. Unfortunately it ended all too soon as the rest of the band took the stage and wrapped up with some more The The tunes.

671 Mich-again  Thu, Apr 16, 2009 7:45:21pm

I'm all for people going to tea parties to protest the ever-expanding Federal behemoth. I wish them good luck slaying the beast. But it is disingenuous to try to pin the financial crisis on Obama or the Democrats alone. It takes two to tango and the GOP and the Dems both had plenty to do with the mess we're in. Neither party exhibited any real leadership back when we could have taken steps to avoid the brick wall we were speeding towards, but that would have been unpopular and no one in Washington wants to be disliked.

So when I see or hear someone bleating on about how one party or the other is the sole reason the economy tanked, a red flag goes up that either they are stupid or they think everyone else is.

We always cycle back and forth, conservatives control things for a bit, then liberals. Thing is, every time the liberals do, they leave behind a trail of poo that can't be undone. Entitlements that would take political suicide to reverse. Foreign policy that makes enemies want to just hold out for the next liberal.

Actually, accepting climate change is not a flaw to me, I am am not a skeptic. I'm glad to see more on the right at least accepting that there may be a issue worth discussing rather then throwing money at the issue without thinking.

An entry in the "blog" section of Ron Paul's "Campaign for Liberty" site (a site that, by the way, had an entry in LGF's "top rated links" until a few minutes ago):

Once again, Ron Paul deserved to be in the headlines and once again the national media totally ignored him. Wednesday, the nationwide “Tea Party” protests of big taxes and big spending was the number two story in the nation on most television networks and number one on some...

The fact is that the first, notable, Tea Party since Boston was launched at a Ron Paul campaign rally in Austin, Texas in December of 2007. The second was the famous “money bomb” fundraiser for Ron Paul on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party in the middle of the 2008 presidential run. And most of the crowd and organizers of yesterday’s event were Ron Paul supporters. But congressman Ron Paul, the Nostradamus from Texas, who predicted the crisis we now face, was not mentioned once by the national media.

I'll take that with a grain of salt, remembering well how Ron Paul's minions claimed last Fall that their boycott had brought Fox News to the brink of bankruptcy.

By the way, if you set up a Google News alert for "Ron Paul Tea Party," you'll be amazed at how much stuff is being posted on news sites and blogs.

Anyone who thinks I'm over-reacting about this is in denial.

You're right, that 1% of the voting population that actually pays attention to anything will perchance have their perception of the Tea Parties skewed by it's association with Ron Paul. Then there's the other 99% of the voters who roll their eyes at the campaigns until the week before the elections, then say, "well so-and-so seems cool..." I'm fairly cynical these days.

Charles,

As someone who doesn't usually post on your site, but was one of your first Lizards from way back when, I do find our current political differences to be quite painful because of the respect I have for you and will always have for you.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you have never considered yourself a libertarian or conservative, but rather an anti-Idiotarian.

I doubt you consider yourself a liberal anymore but obviously have socially liberal tendencies (as do I).

However, your dismissal of the Tea Parties as a fringe group is so off the mark as to be offensive and I would wish you would give serious consideration to what the SERIOUS members of this movement are saying.

I recommend you go to the following link:
Your text to link...

If the upcoming Obama budget is passed, these are the budget deficits our great country will face for years to come. These budget deficit numbers do not come from a crazy Ron Paul website, but from the Obama administration itself.

The Tea Party movement is designed to point out this could very well lead to such large deficits so as to bankrupt the United States federal government, and costing your children and grandchildren a chance to achieve a better life than our own.

While Republicans are not popular these days, it is important to remember that conservatism/classical liberalism is often very different from Republicanism as practiced by the party. Classical liberalism is what the country was founded on.

In time the public will realize that we ARE the moderates. Opposition to annual trillion dollar deficits is simply common sense.

I think you're doing a disservice by trying to grant credibility to the liberals who are currently bankrupting the country when you act as if we should do anything but mock this insanity and hope that it fails to be implemented.

If the issue is trillion dollar deficits every year for the foreseeable future (assuming the Obama budget does get passed), then you better hope he fails at getting it passed.

If not, you can apologize to your future kids or grandkids someday for burdening them with so much debt.

You'll always have my respect Charles. That won't change no matter what. But you're dead wrong on the Tea Party Protests and why they are important.

I fully support the Tea Party Protests and the direction and trajectory they are moving in. The main thrust seems to be a government that is spending and printing money as if it grows on trees.

Because if it succeeds in getting passed as he wants it, America is fucked. If Obama succeeds, America loses.

I'm not really interested in pretending to like a President that is completely over his head. Clinton balanced budgets and promoted free trade. Obama is a fucking walking disaster for this country.

re: #812 Phil.

However, your dismissal of the Tea Parties as a fringe group is so off the mark as to be offensive...

I have to agree, though I would not go as far as to say "offensive." I believe Charles is seeing a lot of activity and excitement from fringe groups (Paulians, Alex Jonesians, Neo-Nazis, etc.) regarding the Tea Parties, and it is alarming to him. It IS true that Ron Paul was doing Tea Parties before this new movement got started. However, the large majority of people who are getting involved now, in my experience, are NOT supporters of Paul, Jones, or just about anyone else at this point. They are mostly people who are pissed off at ALL political parties, fringe or otherwise.

Will Ron Paul and others try to co-opt and take over the Tea Party movement? Absolutely. Will they succeed? I don't believe so. I could be wrong, but I know that if the radical right does manage to hijack the movement, it will lose a lot of people really, really fast.

As for Beck, I think you hurt his feelings, Charles. My bet is that he reads and maybe even posts at this blog. I don't dislike him in the same way you do, but I agree that he is getting drunk on fame and power. Once an addict, always an addict.

Actually, now that I think about it, wouldn't it be absolutely awesome if he started doing his shows drunk?! Think of the entertainment value there! Break out the popcorn!

I wrote that I am "ambivalent" about the tea parties, because some of the people involved in organizing and promoting them are Ron Paul drones and kooks. I absolutely stand by this statement.

I never -- not once -- said that everyone who attends a tea party is a kook, and in fact I specifically posted more than once that I know there are lots of good people at these events.

It gets incredibly tedious to defend myself against charges that I made statements I did not make, and took positions that I did not take.

Glenn Beck is a prime example. He accused me of wanting to "shut down his free speech," and I have never written a single word suggesting such a thing.

I'm defensive about C++ because that's what I know the best along with C. Any decent OS, Kernel, or hardware intensive (3D, Games, etc) program pretty much needs to be done with it.

I have been on several blogs and I have never see anything quite like this where people come out of the woodwork to critique and give unsolicited advice.

When you take risks and have a voice people will stand in your way. Just walk passed them and keep going.

The tea parties are over. We can't change that. Some people felt empowered like me. Some got more involved. Some drank too many Coronas and got laid.
Think of it as Lollpalooza with Earl Grey instead weed.

re: #910 ArchangelMichael

I'm defensive about C++ because that's what I know the best along with C. Any decent OS, Kernel, or hardware intensive (3D, Games, etc) program pretty much needs to be done with it.

I don't mind Java, and I really like C# but the only real programming I do is spare time personal stuff and recently its been working on a 3D sci-fi game. I don't do it in my job generally, only system and net administration.

Yeah, for games you need speed, and C++ has speed. It also has the power of passing parameters by pointers, which Java lacks. It's also loaded down with tools to help the programmer. I love the STL library!

I've done quite a bit of 3D graphics programming as well, using OpenGL and DirectX. That's where the fun is!

So.... we should all stop being mean to poor wittle Beck?

I hope you don't think that is my point. Beck was much better when hardly anyone knew who he was. His newfound star status has filled him with self-importance and he is taking it over the top. To call out Charles and LGF by name on Fox News was just silly as was his attempt to paint Charles as a member of the radical right. He knows damn good and well that he is much farther to the right than Charles is. It was completely disingenous. He could have defended himself regarding the Glenn Beck tea Party video with more hard facts and without trying to villainize the people who reported on it. Be mean to Beck when he pulls this kind of stuff, by all means.

When you take risks and have a voice people will stand in your way. Just walk passed them and keep going.

. . .

The left will always find a reason to call us kooks. Tea party or not. Black people will always call me an Uncle tom. You have to get used to it. I hate to see us disagreeing here.

It isn't the disagreement that I find so bothersome. Civil disagreement can be a way of forcing each of us to learn something new or consider a different viewpoint.

What gets to me is that some people seem to feel a need to have others approve of their actions.

Killgore, for instance, is not a fan of the "tea parties", and has made some points about them, and once I understood what his points were, I felt no need to continue to read them every time he posted them,. but neither did I feel any need to try to convince him to approve of my attendance at the local "tea party" event His approval or disapproval has no bearing on my life whatsoever, even though I have a great deal of respect for him.

And I have learned things from his "take" (as well as Charles') on the tea parties that I would not otherwise have known, and so I am grateful for the heads up.

OT: This is funny as hell > Treasury defends asset plan as Chase wants out

WASHINGTON - The Treasury Department on Thursday defended the viability of its $1 trillion plan to get soured mortgage investments off of banks' books after JPMorgan Chase's chief executive said the company won't participate in the program.

Some analysts said comments by JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon could spell trouble for Treasury's program, which is aimed at what many view as the heart of the current financial crisis — toxic assets that are weighing on banks' balance sheets and preventing them from resuming more normal lending to consumers and businesses.

Dimon said JPMorgan did not intend to participate in Treasury's Public-Private Investment Program, or PPIP, because it did not need to. The program is designed to support purchases of as much as $1 trillion in toxic assets.

"We have no intent on using PPIP at all. We don't need it. We have our own assets. If we want to sell them, we'll sell them," he told analysts. "If we want to buy them, we'll buy them."

Yeah, yeah. We've been over that. There were evolutionary precursors to Darwin's theory--by Axamander, among others, and Newton was well aware of them. I know Newton wasn't a biologist. But how many of the strongly opinionated people in here work in bioscience? Not many, I would think. We should just agree to disagree. I'm sure we share common ground on many other issues.

I thought it was the left that was known for walking in lock step and not criticizing their fellow travelers. It's just another way, I think, where the right is mistakenly thinking we need to follow the left's example. It's not a good trend.

It's a disastrous trend. I am no historian, and this is a rather lame analogy, but I would be willing to bet that during the second world war, anyone dumb enough to suggest that we adopt the tactics of the Nazis to defeat the Nazis would be ridiculed.

If someone thinks the underhanded, dishonest, and downright ridiculous tactics of their political opposition is worthy of emulation for a shot at victory, they are less than a nose hair from being ideological kindred to those they pretend to oppose.

They may as well change sides.

re: #1017 TradeBait

Yeah, yeah. We've been over that. There were evolutionary precursors to Darwin's theory--by Axamander, among others, and Newton was well aware of them. I know Newton wasn't a biologist. But how many of the strongly opinionated people in here work in bioscience? Not many, I would think. We should just agree to disagree. I'm sure we share common ground on many other issues.

You mean Anaximander:

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

He postulated a primitive kind of adaptation to changing environments, but proposed no theory of natural selection, which was the linchpin of Darwin's theory. He might be viewed as a proto-Lamarckian.

There is no record of anyone proposing natural selection before Darwin and Wallace.

There is a very bad craziness in the world today, folks.

As I wound my way through numerous history classes in college years ago, I found myself trying intensely to such a vast portion of the population of Germany all went mad at once... I'll let a real expert put real numbers to this... but for argument's sake... say 30% of them voluntarily signed on with the Nazis. Say another 30% went along because they were too scared to fight. Say the remainder were indeed the ones who were persecuted, run out, fled, or were outright killed.

That was a bad craziness then. I fear we see something similar today.

Charles Johnson is not the antidote. He's just a man. Seems like a good person to me. His heart is certainly in the right place... and he seems just as flawed as the rest of us mere mortals.

Charles Johnson's words, the exposure he gives to the craziness... THAT is the antidote.

re: #984 funky chicken

I'm not much of a joiner anyway, but if any coalition includes neo-nazis, Holocaust deniers, or 9/11 troofers, count me out for sure. I have ZERO interest in being on their team.

I fully agree. Those people are specifically hazardous to my health and the health of my family, seeing as how they would like to see us exterminated.

Same thing with Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan: they're too involved and invested with Jew-haters that I want nothing to do with them. But I recognize that they're going to show up on the airwaves and cable signals because they are public figures -- if I remove all the channels that they appear on from my cable tuner, there won't be much of anything else left.

On the other hand, even though a lot of other Jews in America feel terribly uncomfortable about Evangelical Christians supporting Israel and the Jewish people, I don't share that discomfort. I have firm faith that their support won't usher in the End Times and that Jews won't all be swept off to Hell or Purgatory or a second-class cabin in Heaven. At the same time, I can respectfully decline their offer to share the Good News with me and my family, knowing they're just fulfilling one of the precepts of their faith.

I don't want any specific religious faith taught in public schools -- that includes creationism or Intelligent Design. There's ample opportunity for people of those beliefs to teach their own kids on their own time. But while I am keeping those folks from teaching those beliefs in the classroom, I'm not going to automatically eschew their support on other issues, especially ones that involve the security of the USA.

I could decide that I will never associate with anyone who holds some view with which I strongly disagree, or anyone whose conduct I find embarrassing in one way or another. But I think that's counterproductive to any goal of building a coalition that will push back against the "Progressive" agenda. Politics makes strange bedfellows, so my question is, where does "strange" give way to "impossible"?

I know that few here would like to hear it, but kos has some genuinely good advice for the conservative movement on Daily Kos.

No, seriously. I'm not kidding. If you ignore the insults, his basic point is thus: Glenn Beck and Tea Parties are as useful to the conservative movement as Cindy Sheehan and ANSWER were to the liberals. Which is to say, not at all.

To get back in power, conservatives need to focus less on street theater and more on elections, governance, and persuasion. The tea parties were as productive as a primal scream - they might have made people feel better, but they really didn't get anything done.

The biggest problem conservatives face now is that their Cindy Sheehans have discovered they can make good money appealing to a relatively small number of people. Glenn Beck's audience couldn't get anyone elected. Rush Limbaugh's audience couldn't get anyone elected. But they can keep Glenn and Rush rolling in dough for a long time to come, and that's all they honestly care about.

Learn how to turn activists into votes. Obama worked very, very hard to turn every audience member at his speeches into a volunteer (that is, after all, what a community organizer does). That was a huge opportunity wasted at the tea parties, where an active hostility towards people with clipboards taking names was cultivated.

Persuade the center. You cannot win elections without them.

Don't take your ideas for granted. Explain why small government is good in the current context, not in relation to Reagan. If Reaganomics doesn't work in a recession this bad, swallow hard, toss him out, and figure out what does.

We really, really need an opposition part with ideas that weren't born in the 80's. We could use an opposition party that inspires America. Reagan inspired America. How can conservatives inspire America again? The tea parties won't cut it - more people attended the Spice Girls reunion tour than the tea parties. The left tried protest during the Bush years, and look at how much y'all laughed at them for it. It doesn't work, and this very website proved it.

Do better. Please. Once I voted for Bush. This time, I voted for Obama. Give me a reason to vote for a conservative again - not against the "socialist", for a conservative. And then convince everyone else who voted for Bush but changed to Obama this time.

Then you'll really be on to something.

re: #1117 solomonpanting

Where?

I'm not trying to say there are brownshirts running around in the streets... but what our society, here in America and in many other place in the world today seems to be missing is the simple talent of moderating themselves. That, I fear, is where the fall begins. One must recognize their own instances of immorality, name them, and cease the bad behavior. Without that self-centering activity... everyone just runs off half-cocked, until people start hurting their neighbors. Doesn't matter if you are on the left, the right, the center, the fringe.

That, in my simplistic understanding, is what happened in Germany in the 20's and 30's. Too many people resisted their own natural instincts to say, out loud, that their own behavior, or the behavior of their neighbors, or of their leaders, was inappropriate and needed to stop.

Charles is calling us all to that task, in his own way. I'm on board with that. I would like to see the craziness nipped in the bud right now.

The earth wobbles on its axis once a year, and the wobbble cycle tilts first the northern hemisphere, then the southern hemisphere, more on line with the sun.

In northern temperate climes, the summer solstice is when the sun at its zenith achieves its highest point in the year. The winter solstice is when the sun at its zenith is at its lowest point for the year. The spring and fall equinoxes are when the sun at its zenith achieves a midpoint between the summer solstice high point and the winter solstice low point. Also, the sun at noon is directly overhead at the equator during the equinoxes. It is directly overhead at 23 degrees north latitude during one solstice, and directly overhead at 23 degrees south latitude during the other.

The summer solstice for the northern hemisphere is the winter solstice for the southern hemisphere, and vice versa.

Simply keeping track of solar zenith points for an entire year is enough to establish when the solstices and equinoxes occur.

It is really tough. Would I vote for Bobby Jindal for POTUS if it's him vs Obama in 2012? I hope I don't have to make that decision, but I'd probably hold my nose and vote for Jindal, because he is more right on things that POTUS can actually do, and I've never seen any indication that he's a 9/11 troofer or Holocaust denier or member of a white supremacist group (LOL on the last one).

Would I rather have my kids spend time around IDers or with William Ayers and Bernie Dohrn? IDers hands-down. Of course, there is always the "neither" option, which is the best choice.

Before last year, I'd not heard of Stormfront or Ron Paul. I think the first I heard of them was reading blog discussions of Andrew Sullivan's demented defense of Paul for his habit of accepting Stormfront money. I won't attend or support any rallies that would help it appear that Paul is any kind of mainstream leader or spokesman for me.

But I'm not going to give the time of day to nutters like Glenn Beck, and abhor the fact that he will likely become the face of the GOP if normal folks don't stand up to stop that.

I'm wiped out and not making a lot of sense any more, so off to bed with me.

Got home late and watching Ken Burns' "Civil War" Saw the Gettysburg episode and hearing Sam Waterson read the Address brings tears to my eyes. Yes--things could be much worse for our beloved country.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The Earth does indeed "wobble" on its axis - each wobble taking about 26,000 years. The seasons/equinox have nothing to do with this wobble; that is simply the Earth, on its axis, pointing in a different direction relative to the Sun depending on where the Earth is relative to the Sun.

re: #1174 funky chicken

It is really tough. Would I vote for Bobby Jindal for POTUS if it's him vs Obama in 2012? I hope I don't have to make that decision, but I'd probably hold my nose and vote for Jindal, because he is more right on things that POTUS can actually do, and I've never seen any indication that he's a 9/11 troofer or Holocaust denier or member of a white supremacist group (LOL on the last one).

If Bobby Jindal is the GOP nominee in 2012, I will either vote Democrat or not vote at all.

I will never vote for Jindal.

re: #1184 Salamantis

I stand corrected. But in my defence, I was posting from memory, and did not Google.

A herd of cows and two bulls are eating grass out in the pasture.
Suddenly, a great gust of wind comes ripping across the prairie and knocks all the cows to the ground. But, the bulls just sway in the wind and continue eating.
When the wind quiets down, the cows stand up, brush off the dirt, and start eating again.
A bit later, one cow looks up just in time to see a tornado tearing through the pasture fence. The tornado knocks the cows every which way, but the bulls just rock back and forth as they are buffeted.
When the cows get back on their feet and pick the straw out of their hide, they all walk over to the bulls.
One cow says, "Why do we cows get knocked over by wind but you bulls keep standing?"
The two bulls laugh and reply, "We bulls wobble, but we don't fall down."

1187 Papagresh  Thu, Apr 16, 2009 9:51:19pm

Charles,

I've been around here for quite some time, and no previous thread has made me feel more like I need a shower because of simply encountering it.

I can take or leave Beck, but I lean toward being thankful that his views are included in the mix. I find his passion refreshing though a bit tangential at times. Likewise his candor regarding his alcoholism; and, his emotionalism doesn't bother me in the least.

I've always enjoyed LGF, though I sometimes strongly disagree with the "official" position here. For example: I am a Christian who finds the Creationist view most plausible and would argue that it is supported scientifically if proper scriptural interpretation is included. But I mention this merely as an example; I have no intention of debating the issue in this forum -- I am as comfortable with my views as you appear to be with yours. The point is, lockstep is not required for harmony.

With that being said, I feel compelled to opine that I am truly repulsed by the petty squabble with Beck and I feel that you have yielded the high ground entirely.

I watched the video clip you posted several times, and while Beck used some facial expressions and intonation that was a bit quirky and ambiguous, nothing he said about you was dishonest or defamatory. Far from accusing you of attempting to silence him, what I heard was more like a sense of mild betrayal, appealing to the fact that you have experienced being tarred, smeared, and falsely accused by neo-fascist moonbats, coupled with his being somewhat indignant that you, an ideological ally on some issues, would allude to him as a possible merchant/inciter of violence. In fact his main thrust centered on the importance of peaceful discourse.

Your response, on the other hand, seemed entirely beneath you and, if I may be so bold, rather juvenile: "Punk ... alcoholic, weeping, ranting, creationist ... idolizes John Birchers and Ron Paul ... freak ... "

I'm sure I'll probably take some flak from various snipers for posting this, but so be it -- I'll not argue the point any further and the only thing I'd ask is that you, Charles, accept what I'm saying in the spirit it is offered -- and then discount or take it to heart as you see fit. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just saying ...

Thanks for reading; I'm back to lurk mode.

That's all well and fine and there will always be fringe groups and populist spokespersons who may strike a chord with segments of the populace. But I see most, if not the vast majority, of citizens who are able to separate those chords of agreement from calls of violence or the types of behavoir demonstrated in 1930's Germany.
By all accounts from posters who attended and reported on their experiences at yesterday's tea parties, protesters were polite and civil. Instances of violence or otherwise out-of-control behavoir are primarily the province of leftist demonstrations, and those ugly actions turn off more people rather than garner support.
I'm not saying the scenario you fear can never happen here, but I don't share your sense of impending chaos.

re: #1178 Last Man
You are SO WRONG I don't know how to describe it. But you surely don't get it. The tea parties - there were hundreds if not thousands around the country - over 32 here in North Carolina alone - were NOT organizied by Ron Paul or his looney tune followers. They were - as evidenced by 99% of the LGFer's who, ya know, actually attended one of them - actually community actions started by some one not connected to Paul or Stormfront and picked up grassroots support from there. THAT'S why Janet Napolitano issued her missive alerting LE all across the country to.....well she didn't identify any specific group or individuals other than right wingers and conservatives and White Supremecists (again no one individual identifed by her except Timothy McVeigh whom even the Clinton Justice Department said wasn't connected to any militias or any other group) and it was "leaked" the day before the Tea Parties, and that's why Nancy Pelosi called it Astroturf, not grassroots - cause they are SCARED.What do you think is gonna happen after April 15th, 2010 when the Tax Bites really START to hurt people? Followed by a congressional election in November. No I don't care for the state of the Republican Party now either and many tea party folks blamed the GOP AND the DEMS for the fiscal insanity in D.C., but NEXT YEAR it's all on the Dems and Obama's budget which calls for a 1 and 1/2 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT.
That's why the MSM gave the tea parties scant coverage, indeed gave more coverage to Napolitano's warning about unspecified threats against unspecified targets by unspecified individuals or groups for unspecified dates and to Pelosi's "Astroturf" comments than they did to the actual Tea Parties themselves.

A couple of my students want to take me to the 'hood when school ends for the year, and take me to lunch at their favorite taco wagon. They asked solemnly if I had ever eaten lengua, and were disappointed to learn that I knew what it was, had eaten it before (although not in tacos, in various Eastern European concoctions, and was not grossed out by it.

And while it would have been a hell of a lot harder to stomp down Hitler and the Nazi's without the USSR's help, I still think we would have - but it'd have taken much longer and most of Western Europe would be far worse off than Hiroshima and Nagasaki were.
Nah, the fights out here aren't whether or not Obama's bad for America short or long term, but just HOW bad he's gonna be and those are I think legitimate political disagreements. And if there are folks out here who think Obama is going to be good for America, well I haven't seen any of 'em yet.

And now I gotta get some sleep too, so I'm sure Last Man will come up with something "cute" to say about me after I'm gone. Too bad for him that I don't care what he says about me, just what he says about and to Charles.

Goodnight you all, hope you have a great evening/early morning and that I get the chance to see you all down the road.

Good night, all.

re: #1232 Bagua

Yeah, Papagresh didn't appear to have watched the right video, its also a bit pathological how this creationism thing has people so seething they feel compelled to bring it up when they pluck up the courage to announce their opposition on completely unrelated topics. I fail to see the connection between Becks weird rant and being a "christian scientist" or whatever.

Glenn Beck is also a creationist. Just like Papagresh is. That's the connection.

re: #1169 Salamantis

The earth wobbles on its axis once a year, and the wobbble cycle tilts first the northern hemisphere, then the southern hemisphere, more on line with the sun.

It is actually quite a bit more concrete than that, Mr. Salamantis. The fact is, the Earth's axis of rotation (the line through the Earth's poles) makes the nearly constant* angle of 23.5 degrees with the direction orthogonal to the Earth's orbital plane (around the Sun)--itself a nearly constant direction (observationally, this is the direction 90 degrees from the ecliptic). The Summer solstice in the northern hemisphere occurs when the northward direction along the Earth's axis of rotation (pointing nearly at Polaris, always) happens to be pointing most nearly directly at the Sun (at 90-23.5=66.5 degrees from the Sun, actually) as it every does, over the course of a year (that is to say, over the course of the Earth's orbit around the Sun).

In short, seasons are not caused by the wobble of anything. They are caused because, to put it observationally, Polaris appears sort of behind the Sun (makes an angle of 66.5 degrees with the Sun) on the longest day in the northern hemisphere, and appears sort of on the opposite side of the sky from the Sun (makes an angle of 90+23.5=113.5 with the Sun) on the shortest day of the year.

*this neglects the precession of the Earth's rotational axis, which has a period of many thousands of years.

re: #1065 TradeBait

I received a letter from my utility company some months back. They wanted to know if their customers had any interest in receiving internet over the household electrical wiring. I wrote back with a big HELL YES. But I haven't heard anything since.

It sounded pretty cool, anyway.

People in the amateur radio community really HATE the idea of internet over power lines. They claim it turns the power grid into a broad-band source of radio-frequency noise. That's probably true. Ever tried to play a portable radio in a room full of PCs?

I get my broad-band Internet at home via a rural wireless network. A little antenna about the size of two decks of cards sits outside my window, pointed at the transmitting antenna on the roof of a grain elevator about 4 miles distant. Works just fine.

re: #1129 Afrocity

I love Jazz. I had a falling out with a friend who was a Jazz purist and he hated that I listened to Michael Franks, who I consider a jazz musician. But Franks has vocals so my friend said it was not jazz.

Your friend is off his rocker. There is plenty of vocal jazz. There are even vocal styles, like scat, and vocalese, that are all but unique to jazz.

Pick up a record by King Pleasure, or Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross, or seek them out on YouTube.

re: #1237 Bagua

You are quite correct yochanan, all this hyperventilating and over reaction makes it impossible to have an effective opposition, really, no different from the BDS we saw over the last few years.

It was the same with the CDS back in the 90s. I left the GOP because of the lunatic fringe (Hillary drove Vince Foster to that park and shot him, dontcha know) and because the fundamentalists took over the party in my home state of KS. I was around for the Operation Rescue idiocy in Wichita and for the creationist takeover of the KS school board.

One reason people lump Phred Phelps in with the GOP is that he started out during that time "demonstrating" in front of abortion providers' homes in Topeka and Lawrence. He also "demonstrated" against homosexuality. In those early days he actually did get quite a bit of support from the far right fundamentalists.

You know, Charles, if you put in a sub-routine to scan the member database with an algorithm to find those who a) have been here a long time with b) a minimal amount of posts, you might be able to put up a list of those likely to do the kamakaze bit and we could have a betting pool (Lizardbucks only) on who we think might be the next one to 'flame on.'

If Bobby Jindal is the GOP nominee in 2012, I will either vote Democrat or not vote at all.

I will never vote for Jindal.

You got that right.  Or any other pseudoscience-touting candidate, either.

Another lurker... I'll add my voice to disagreeing with Charles on this particular incident. I mostly surprised that Charles isn't more sympathetic to Beck as they run into the same problem: they get blamed for stuff their fans say or do.

I don't think it's that serious because a. you could fairly call Beck a punk for other reasons and b. Charles does more than most conservative voices in policing our own, which is a vital (and highly unpopular) function in any movement.

Jindal's a huge net positive for Louisiana. I'd rather not have creationists on any national ticket (governor is not strictly a national ticket, but they have national influence) but as a governor he's doing far more good than harm.

I don't care if he comes over and butters your scones personally every morning, I won't vote for anyone who uses elected office to mandate religion over science.  I won't advance anyone at any level along any step towards a theocracy and don't see any discernable difference between Jindal and Adnan Oktar (aka Harun Yahya), that author of The Disasters Darwinism Brought to Humanity, Fascism: The Bloody Ideology Of Darwinsim, and The Evolution Deceit.

Charles,
Though you probably aren't reading this thread any longer:
Such abusive language (as in this email to you) does not seem to fit the pattern of genuine Glenn Beck supporters. Instead it is the language of ANSWER and KOS kids et al.
But this brings up the question of anonymity in email and on blogs. Or a secondary need to purge apparent bogus postings so that genuine public discourse can continue. I know you retain the right to do this, but maybe it needs to be applied to posts that add nothing to the thread.
Better yet, you could code in a checkbox to show or hide tagged postings. Yes, I know that you and a couple people down-dinged me for suggesting that one group of people contained otherwise "nice" folks and another website was unreliable propaganda. I know that I was misunderstood but that's life. I'd rather allow readers a filter that blocked even my own posts than force everyone to wade through useless drivel.
But, for the record, I completely agree with your drumbeat against this hysteria and I don't support Beck, Dodd, or Hannity et al although I agree with many of their viewpoints (as far as they overlap with yours).

The word "creationist" as used here means "people who want to have religion taught in science class." It does not mean "anyone who believes God created the universe."

Still troubled and saddened?

"Creationist" IS a put-down. It means a person who denies most of modern science and turns his/her back on rationality, in favor of a Dark Ages supernatural view of the world that has absolutely no empirical support.

And when they work to subvert science education, and force their nonsensical views on other people's children, they are the enemy of America, the Constitution, and democracy. And I for one am going to fight them.
