Fox Nation Goes Nirther

Moonbats • Views: 23,342

At the Fox Nation website, unrestrained Nirth Certifikit insanity runs rampant in the comments for a video of Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs answering a question from a Nirther journalist (not sure who it is): Should Obama Release Birth Certificate? Or Is This Old News? | The FOX Nation.

688 comments as we write this, and you will not believe some of them.

Of course, LGF is way ahead of the curve. We’ve known what became of Obama’s nirth certifikit for a long time:

UPDATE at 5/28/09 6:21:10 pm:

The “journalist” who asked the question is Lester Kinsolving, White House correspondent for the main Nirther media outlet, World Net Daily.

So, Reason wins a battle in Texas, but then has Fox go whacky? Is there some sort of steady-state theory to explain why lunacy always appears to be constant?

re: #2 Guanxi88

It is interesting to watch. There are people who are always crazy like the Tuthers and Alex Jones who in the past have aligned themselves with the crazy left, showing up at peace marches, etc. Now that the right has gone crazy they're moving to the right and showing up on Fox News and Tea Parties. They just go wherever it's craziest.

Glug.

Unbeknownst to me, my old "Up Your Alley Fair" report has been making serious waves this last week in San Francisco power circles, and has caused a police crackdown on the fair this year! People are furious at me! It's even hit various news sites:

No More Public Sex at Up Your Alley Fair

Bad news for leather folks who wanted to get a blow job at this year's Up Your Alley Fair: The event organizers and the police are teaming up to stamp your public lovin' out.

A controversy has been simmering in the gay press and the city's leather community ever since the Bay Area Reporter wrote that two people have lodged complaints with the Office of Citizens Complaints about the 14 police officers at last year's festival for not enforcing public indecency laws. The Up Your Alley Fair, which is considered by leather folks to be the more local, less commercial cousin to the giant Folsom Street Fair in the fall, will be held on July 26 in SoMA's Dore Alley.

At a hearing on street closures in April, police demanded that the festival organizers come up with a stricter security plan to ward off the public sex this year. They referenced photos of last year's event posted anonymously on the Web site zombietime.com, depicting several men giving and receiving blow jobs, and another dude ejaculating from a second-story window onto the crowd below. Many of the photos show San Francisco police officers within view of the action.
...
Moshoyannis said he was blindsided at the April hearing when he was told their original security plan wasn't going to cut it this year. ...

So why were the police ignoring all the oral sex? Police Lieutenant Nicole Greely, who oversees special events, said that the cops hadn't warned the festival organizers prior to the day of the festival: "We don't like to just enforce laws without an education plan beforehand. At Bay to Breakers, if we'd just go out and tell everyone no kegs and took everyone's kegs" it would make for bad public relations.

Moshoyannis said he's seen the internet photos, and called the anonymous photographer "a homophobic coward. If you want to criticize someone or somebody's community, at least attach your name to it ... If you don't identify as part of my community, you should be prepared for the expression of the leather community or don't come."

Yet even some members of the community are complaining as well. Michael Hughes of San Francisco wrote a letter to the editor of the B.A.R. identifying himself as "a Castro merchant for nearly five years, as well as a gay man who contributes financially to the causes" that the fair supports. He wrote that he'd lodged complaints with the mayor's office, Supervisor Bevan Dufty, and Greely.

Then there's this:

Police warn of coming crackdown on lewd behavior at San Francisco street fair

The San Francisco Police Department says it will no longer tolerate lewd behavior – including public sex acts and nudity – at a July street fair sponsored by Folsom Street Events...

The event in question, the Up Your Alley Fair, is scheduled for Sunday, July 26... Last year’s event resulted in multiple complaints to the Office of Citizen Complaints...

An anonymous photographer provided police with “photos of men performing oral sex, urinating in public, and masturbating from second floor windows overlooking the fair,” reported the Bay Area Reporter...
The photos were also posted on a web site, [Link: www.zombietime.com......]."The fair promoters are the ones who have to take charge; this is their event,” San Francisco Police Lt. Nicole M. Greely told the Reporter. “If they don't run it properly, they will not be having it again."

She probably voted on Heller just like Ginsberg, but she can't ban guns. The court can rule on laws with respect to the 2nd.

Beats me, but by the same token, FoxNews is reporting on the right wing bloggers questioning the Chrysler closures and they didn't find any politics were involved. Quoted Doug Ross and Malkin, who said while there may be nothing there, keep digging.

I posted this editorial from the SF Examiner on another thread - I think it's premature to call this one until more facts are in, but it's looking dicey to me.

That said, when multiple dealers who have been closed are found to have contributed millions to Republicans and mere hundreds to Obama, the serious number-crunching cannot be completed too soon.

Bellavia zeroed in on the fundamental problem with Obama’s takeover of two of Detroit Big Three — something is terribly wrong when the government tells corporations who to hire and fire, what products to sell, and who will be their dealers.

“What is the next task force? Shoe stores? Pizzerias?” Bellavia said. “The problem we have is the free enterprise system is not run by the government, it’s run by business entrepreneurs. The dealers themselves will decide if it’s not productive to go forward.”

In view of these facts, when is the mainstream media going to challenge Obama to explain why he thinks he can do a better job running car companies than can the shareholders, bondholders and dealers? And where in the Constitution does it say the president has such authority in the first place?

More to the point, when is the mainstream media going to start calling what Obama is doing what it is, which at the very least is a crude kind of South American, crony statism. Given the Chicago roots of Obama and his chief of staff, the phrase used recently by The Examiner’s Michael Barone is probably most accurate — “gangster government.”

Not bad coming from San Francisco. IMO the jury's still out on this one.

No censors on board, here, that I've ever seen. Just a lot of folks who value accuracy above ideology, and spend part of their time fact-checking stories from all sides. Don't you want to know, if a source comes up lacking as often as Fox does? Shouldn't you want to know?

I don't think we need to worry about Obama succeeding with health care "reform". Remember Hillary crashing and burning in 1993? It wasn't a public outcrty that stopped socialized medicine dead in its tracks: It was the medical associations and the pharmaceutical industry. Combined, they have more money than God, and they want to keep it it that way. They (doctors, pharma, HMOs, AMA, etc.) will throw every imaginable monkey wrench into Obama's plans, just as they did with Hillary; and it will go down in flames again. We just have to sit back and watch the show.

Obama's just doing it so he can say "At least I tried. Don't blame me."

re: #78 zombie

I don't think we need to worry about Obama succeeding with health care "reform". Remember Hillary crashing and burning in 1993? It wasn't a public outcrty that stopped socialized medicine dead in its tracks: It was the medical associations and the pharmaceutical industry. Combined, they have more money than God, and they want to keep it it that way. They (doctors, pharma, HMOs, AMA, etc.) will throw every imaginable monkey wrench into Obama's plans, just as they did with Hillary; and it will go down in flames again. We just have to sit back and watch the show.

Obama's just doing it so he can say "At least I tried. Don't blame me."

The deal this time is the POTUS has the insurance companies, doctors and the rest on his side. The insurance companies came on board to protect their turf.

Has anybody seen Google's latest "game-changing" product, called "Wave"?

Looks really cool. But I can't tell if it is a standalone app or a "web-based app" i.e. a web site one goes to.

And is there a beta version we can try out? I agree that communications are fractured on the Web. This could be big, if done right.

Google is uniting instant messaging, e-mail and document collaboration into a new product with the audacious goal of changing how people communicate online.

Wave, as the product is called, erodes the distinction between the various ways people keep in touch on the Web and eliminates the need to use multiple tools to do so.

Google previewed Wave, a free product, at its annual developers conference in San Francisco. but won't make Wave available to the public until sometime later this year. Additionally, Google intends to incorporate some of Wave's features into its existing products like e-mail and documents.

Wave's users invite others to join their a "wave" about a particular topic so that they can follow the thread of messages, much like a bulletin board. Everyone on the list can see individual messages as they're being typed, letter by letter, like Instant messaging taken to the extreme, to speed up the conversation (there's an option to turn off the real-time feature, which will no doubt be handy for people often revise what they write before hitting send.)

Users can drag and drop photos and maps onto the waves to make them immediately visible to others. They can also edit documents together, potentially appealing to workers who are collaborating together on a project and who would otherwise use wikis.

Wave is targeted at both consumers, for communicating with family and friends, and businesses.

The U.S. government, as the "single payer," can't even being to afford paying doctor fees and hospital fees as they are currently structured. Either IRS taxes will have to go up 30% on every taxpayer, or doctors and medical companies will have to take a big hit on their salaries.

Since a 30% tax hike is completely out of the question, and the doctors are not going to want to cut their income by half -- the plan looks doomed.

Fox threw itself under the bus when Obama won the election. I'm not sure if their heads exploded before or after. Lately it's been all Paulins, Alex Jones & Glen Beck nuttery with a little nirth on top.

Sorry Fox can't be taken seriously anymore. They are no more then a comedy / variety show station now.

I guess I don't watch Glen Beck, etc.. The brief time I have flicked by I found him, ah, "imprecise" to say the least, and a few others like him. But I had similar experiences with some of the other channels. The main thing I am wondering is which News Organization can be taken seriously? Why is only Fox identified with it's craziest people, and none of the others?

The thing I had liked about them was who they would allow on, without trying to ambush them. Many of the others seemed to absolutely exclude credible representatives of certain views, or edited many of their stories so much that the actual events could hardly be recognized.

They can rant, and be insane as much as they like, and all it does is paint them—and the entire Right—as kooks. THAT is what the media will do, and it's so very easy since they are indeed kooks. The media could have easily made the BDS folks look like the kooks they were... but they did not.

I depend on a news organization to make interviewees verify their facts, not just allow anybody on who has a bone to pick. Otherwise, you've got a freak show and/or propaganda outlet, which is what Fox has become, IMO.

If you don't identify as part of my community, you should be prepared for the expression of the leather community or don't come."

So basically, he's saying that people cannot go into public areas that are being used by the fair if they don't want to see people engaged in sexual acts. He frames it as "expression". Somehow I don't think the Founding Fathers would have considered this "expression".

191 reine.de.tout  Thu, May 28, 2009 6:42:59pm

People find it painful to take an objective and critical look at things they hold dear, and at the things they take for granted.

I took FoxNews for granted for a long time, and realized that they had "lost it" for me ONLY when I realized that I had stopped watching them, and that the reason I had stopped watching was because they had gotten too shrill for my taste. And by "shrill", I mean sinking into some craziness - not every program, but most of the ones I used to watch regularly.

I hate it when I agree with Killgore; I question whether I'm turning into some liberal - but the bottom line is, when he's right, he's right, and when Killgore says something, it should not be automatically dismissed just because we might find him aggravating sometimes.

Folks need to remember, imo, that the fact that FoxNews is being looked at critically here does NOT mean that suddenly the other news outlets are somehow OK - it's just that the others have been covered, and FoxNews is changing, and not for the better.

Good for you. Watching Beck is time lost you will never get back.

The main thing I am wondering is which News Organization can be taken seriously?

IMO stick with good news sources on the net. Personally I like LGF, Elder of Ziyon and Jpost. Links and stories from them give me all the news and fluff (thanks CNN) that I can take in most days. For TV news I watch the local guys for weather, traffic before I leave the house in the morning and maybe a few gardening tips / which nights are good for getting the telescope out. Other then that the TV is a dust collector.


The thing I had liked about them was who they would allow on, without trying to ambush them.

I liked watching O'Reilly he was good fun if not so acurate for news. Again IMO FOX jumped the shark when Zero won and they haven't came back to their previous low level of standards.

I watch little TV news also because I hate the senstionalism and every channel has it. I do enjoy, however, Sunday morning news. Meet the Press (boy I miss Russert, God bless him) and Stephanopolous and then a local talk show I like.

Fox is constantly over the top. They seem to be promoting the crazy straight from the network. Foxnation?

I read Yahoo because it's directly from the AP and Rueters. Then some Israeli papers which usually have good world news. Then I go looking around. Smelling something fishy in a story isn't usually too hard.

I cannot find the evidence that Fox Nation is "unbiased" (regardless of what they say or allege). They are clearly partisan. (Just as Huffington Post is leftwing).

What they say or allege is my point. If they don't proudly proclaim they are biased they are not partisan as the press used to be.

That is demeaning and patronizing. That article insists that Hispanics are completely involved in the Sotomayor identity politics.

It's like Fox and MSNBC having Al Sharpton on for the "black" opinion on an issue. Made my black friends extremely angry.

I don't totally disagree, but the trend has been to losing the Hispanic vote, and a frontal attack on Sotomayor would not help.

Deadly blast at Iranian mosque

An explosion in a mosque in the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan has killed at least 15 people and wounded scores more, the official Islamic Republic news agency (Irna) says.

The explosion struck the Amir al-Mohini mosque on Thursday in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province that borders Pakistan and Afghanistan.

[snip]

Arrests'

According to Irna, Ayatollah Abbas Ali Soleymani, Zahedan's prayer leader, told reporters that "one of the main persons involved [in the attack] had been arrested" and "he will soon be punished in front of the mosque".

The last major attack in the city was in February 2007 when suspected Sunni fighters killed 13 members of the Revolutionary Guards.

That story is being buried under the swine flu PANDEMIC.

A pandemic is a disease that spreads across a wide area in an unusual pattern. With a flu, any variety that appears out of season effectively becomes pandemic, thanks to rapid transportation and incubation times. The word pandemic for flu doesn't mean much more than non-seasonal. Declaring it pandemic was entirely accurate. The hysteria came because people didn't actually know what pandemic means.

re: #299 Iron Fist

It has been said that the Republicans are the stupid Party. The Democrats are the evil Party. While that is a bit simplistic, it seems to be dead on much of the time. One of the reasons the Democrats are so good at propaganda is that the bulk of the media support them. The media lets Democrats walk on things that they would flay a Republican for. That helps, but the Democrats just plain propagandize better. They are better at playing to the emotions. Everything is for the children, of course, whether it is food stamps or gun control or another Robert C. Byrd Memorial [fill in the blank]. And Republicans want to starve old people. We can't forget that. Cuts in rates of growth of spending are played as drastic cuts in spending. I could go on, but I think I've proven the point.

Depending on the Democrat in question, some of them lie better than others. The quintesential example of this is Bill Clinton. Do you remember who called him an "uncommonly good liar"? It wasn't Newt Gingrich.

some dweeb on the internet that said that. It was Dick Durbin, D-al Qaeda, for the record from the floor of the Senate. I'm surprised Osama didn't send him a personally engraved thank-you note for that little performance.

And the Republicans let him skate on it. As I said, the Republicans are the stupid Party.

I appreciate your discussing this in a serious manner. Regarding emotions: I understand your idea of "for the children." After all, who wants to be against children, or might I add saving the homeless, etc... . But, aren't the Republicans as adept at using emotional arguments? Take immigration for example. Now, surely, the effects of 12 million illegals is not a trivial matter. It is a serious topic that deserves serious consideration. But haven't the Republicans played the emotional angle here to the upmost (John McCain not included.) For example "Shamnesty" instead of a serious debate on the facts (i.e., they are hear, they aren't going to be deported en masse, therefore what are the possible options and consequences.) Or take the example of war. Were all those slogans and symbols (in god we trust combined with the flag, etc...) sincere displays of patriotism or political tools? Or crime exploitation, insinuating that the Democrats don't mind crime (although this one seems to have lost its popularity I think.)

As far as the Republicans not getting the story out. Was it the media being against the Republicans combined with poor political abilities on Bush's end, or the administration creating false expectations and changing the rationale for war? Why not say the war was in response to 9-11, not because Iraq was linked to Al Queda, but because if we clean house there, other states may get the hint and reform? Wasn't the media's later treatment of the war a backlash against all of these avoidable mistakes by the administration?

Finally, I am amazed at how often I hear conservatives blame the media for their losses. I was saying the other day, how does one argue against this? If the Gop wins, well that is how it should be. If they lose, it is (primarily) because of the media. Could it be the case that this has been repeated so often and for so long, it has become a false gospel? Hasn't anything changed? The dominance of talk radio, Fox news, blogs. Sorry I took so long to respond, had to have a cigarette.

Well, Spanish Conquistadors were encouraged to come to the New World without wives, and marry the local women & have children--mix & mingle, not just colonize.

Tucker Carlson is now a Fox News Contributor! He & Greta Van Susteren are escapees from "that other network", whichever place that was.

He is or was a nice family man and has stopped wearing the silly bow tie that undercut his serious intellect in past.

Yes. That's exactly what Fox News needed for me to start taking them seriously. Tucker Carlson. Win for them!

re: #191 reine.de.tout

We used to watch Fox every night but shut it off completely seven months ago. I have not seen it since. Before that we were dissatisfied for some time. We thought Hannity was repetitious and not smart (I liked to look at him with no sound though) and Bill "I went to Harvard too" O'Reilly was an arrogant idiot. For that matter I can't stand whiny, wimpy Anderson Cooper either. Last June, we canceled the New York Times and the local paper. We have two computers set up at our breakfast table. I go to aggregate sites and use the links on LGF constantly throughout the day. I listen to Dennis Prager/Michael Medved/Hugh Hewitt on talk radio all day everyday and occasionally exercise to Dennis Miller who cracks me up. I read the Weekly Standard. We are at least as well informed as anyone else.

Generally, I decided the MSM are low-intellect propagandists with one viewpoint. I refuse to pay for propaganda. This past weekend I did see a Sunday New York Times and I enjoyed reading an op-ed defending Edmund Andrews who recently wrote a revealing expose of his personal credit crisis, Maureen Dowd who recently plagiarized and Thomas Friedman who accepted an improper and unethical speaking fee. In all three cases it was bloggers who "caught" them and did the research that exposed their foibles!HA!

I think that it's when they went so far left that they needed to do something to at least look like sensible people. The radical left has been in control for so long that the number of moderates who speak their minds could have a meeting in hotel room.

They go on and on about JFK, but JFK wouldn't have anything to do with these people.

I hear what your saying. But doesn't the idea that because the Democrat's ideology is so far left that they had to adopt sophisticated propaganda techniques, require that the Democrats be a single organism subject to evolution that the GOP is immune to? In reality, Democratic operatives, supporters, etc... went to the same schools, lived in the same towns, etc... as Republicans.

Plenty of Central and South American people who are indigenous (and probably don't speak, read or write standard Spanish to this day) believe color is still a huge barrier in their countries, as Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez keep saying.

Don't get me wrong, I have no respect for most of the media at least as far as tv is concerned. I think it is trite and targeted to people with very short attention spans. Assuming the MSM (I see your F, don't know what it stands for) is biased against the GOP, how much does it matter? No question tv was at one point extremely important to people for forming opinions. Is this as true today? Is there anywhere near the same respect for nightly news for example as say, in 1970? And hasn't the internet cancelled out the effect of tv/newspaper bias?

"Statistical record-keeping purposes" makes it sound so innocent. Kind of like the statistics those funny old Nazis used to keep, on Jews, Gypsies, "anti-social elements" and so forth.

And if I recall correctly, the formula for determining who was black (or at least not white enough to be admitted to the full benefits of citizenship) was not very complex at all.

There were complex formulas for determining what percentage of black blood made a person of mixed race "black". The record-keeping continued even after slavery was abolished. Hispanic didn't fit either category well, so they ended up lumped with "white".

The Spanish had a system, too:

The interest of the Spanish Enlightenment in organizing knowledge and scientific description, resulted in the commission of series of pictures that document the racial combinations that existed in the exotic lands that Spain possessed on the other side of the world. Many sets of these paintings still exist (around one hundred complete sets in museums and private collections and many more individual paintings), of varying artistic quality, usually consisting of sixteen paintings representing as many racial combinations. Some of the finer sets were done by prominent Mexican artists, such as Miguel Cabrera.

The overall themes that emerge in these paintings are the "supremacy of the Spaniards," the possibility that Indians could become Spaniards through miscegenation with Spaniards and the "regression to an earlier moment of racial development" that mixing with Blacks would cause to Spaniards. These series generally depict the descendants of Indians becoming Spaniards after three generations of intermarriage with Spaniards

According to documents obtained from District of Columbia's Superior Court, Epstein, 25, must appear before Judge Wendell P. Gardner on July 8 for sentencing after pleading guilty to simple assault charges stemming from an incident during the early evening hours of July 7, 2007. The documents state that Epstein was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the victim, called her the "N-word" and struck her in her head. He was briefly detained by the woman's husband, but was able to escape, only to be arrested minutes later by a Secret Service officer who witnessed the attack. According to the officer's statement, a friend of Epstein's informed him that he had been drinking.

A restraining order to stay away from the couple has been imposed on Epstein. He currently faces a maximum punishment of 180 days in jail and $1000 fine and also had to continue mental health treatment, complete an alcohol treatment program, write a letter of apology to the victim and donate $1000 to the United Negro College Fund prior to sentencing.

Miscegenation may have been illegal in the U.S., and particularly in the South, but virtually every American black who is a descendant of slaves has some white blood. The reality is that there was extensive "interaction" between the races.

The Spaniards also were racists. The more pure-blooded a "Spaniard" was, the higher his/her social status. Indians were lowest caste, and mestizo, in between. Indians spoke their own indigenous languages, and still do to this day. I suppose speaking Spanish would improve social status in a Latin American country, but I'm not sure what point your communist professor was making.

Can anyone shed light as to whether Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans and other non-Puerto Rican Hispanics will automatically support Sotomayor because like them she's descended from Spanish speakers, despite the large cultrual differences among those who are lumped together as Hispanics? And therefore will disdain the GOP if they were to fight her nomination to any degree? I don't know enough about the cultures in the Hispanic category to have much of a clue.

They are not monolithic like that.

Those that are Democrats or lean that way will support her because she was nominated by a Democrat.

If ethnicity was a free pass, then it would have worked for Bush.

Party is what matters.

We were taken right in, and chatted for quite awhile re family, etc. Of course I didn't have my camera. But I would have felt funny about taking photos of him.

The looks NY Grampa and I got as we came out of his dressing room were priceless! 2 every day people...I bet they are still wondering who the hell we were!

The "short form" is valid for every other American for every purpose from getting a passport to running for - and winning - the presidency.

There are State of Hawaii regulations that prevent the long form from being released without permission of the principals - in this case Obama and his family.

Why won't he just go ahead and release it? You know what? I'm thinking at this point it's just to drive you and Crazy Pam and all the other nirthers crazy.

From his profuse apologies to the cops, I learned he was also stuck for 45 minutes at 1am on a 6 lane bridge while the 3 opposing lanes of traffic were moving without a hitch. He had tried listening on the radio for traffic accident reports but on hearing no news, mistakenly called the police to inquire IF there was a traffic problem.

Sorry, I have no opinion because I don't agree with the hypothesis that all spanish speakers vote one way or another. There's a lot of diversity amongst us, including ethnic, economic, educational, and based on the condition in the countries we emigrated from, and WHEN people emigrated.

For example, I met Cubans in the USA who were pro-Castro wealthy landowners when Castro first took over Cuba. After Castro appropriated everyone's property, they got the picture and became anti-Castro, escaped Cuba with NOTHING, and are now GOP stalwarts who worked hard in America and became wealthy again.

Some poorer Latino folks are raised on Marxist dogma in their original countries, and are willing to believe leftist Unions and democrats in this country that promise the same empty promises these people heard in their old countries. "We will spread the wealth around".

how hard is this to understand. show us EVERTHING. PLEASE. WE ARE YOUR BOSS. if what you have shown is real and accurate and authentic, then what is the problem with showing the long form birth certificate?

i am called a "nirther". great. i am really embarrassed. just show me all you have and i go away. no argument, no discussion, no nothing.

re: #836 dwdw49

Dude, I can only conclude you are being intentionally dense.

In other words, you are the classic troll.

And no, you do not show your birth certificate to get a passport, etc. What is required is evidence that such birth allows you to be a US citizen. In nearly all cases, what one uses is a small notice, from the county of your birth, that certifies that such a record is to be found on that county's books... and that little piece of paper used to have a raised seal from that county to verify its originality (these days some places might use other techniques than raised seals.) The actual original record is never submitted (in almost all cases.)

I've applied for several passports over the years, including btw an official (brown) one. In every case the mere fact that the county of my birth simply stated that a record of my birth was on file in the county sufficed. That is what is required, as there is no reasonable person who would believe that an entire false birth record would be created a priori, sometimes many years prior, to the need to have such information.

You truly are a troll, and I can only imagine that Charles keeps you around as an example.

He can represent himself in the case. That would be something. Worthy of filming.

That would be what? The "third" case brought to the courts by some nirther? I wonder how many millions of tax payers dollars has been wasted with these cases.

re: #796 ShanghaiEd

You avoided my questions, though, Furry. How did the Bush administration stay so popular for so long, with the media against them, if they were making all the blunders that even the GOP now acknowledges they made? Sunspots?

I answered your question, you just didn't like or understand the answer.

863 ShanghaiEd  Thu, May 28, 2009 10:59:49pm

re: #862 FurryOldGuyJeans

I answered your question, you just didn't like or understand the answer.

No, you're not acting in good faith here. These were my questions:


I must disagree with you wholeheartedly, Furry. If not for the Republicans' skillful "media mantras," how come 50% of the country never figured out before 2008 that the Bush administration was not in the business of personal freedom, or smaller government, or fiscal responsibility? How could they hide it for so long? This didn't all happen in three months time.

And this was the entirety of your "answer":

Disagree all you want, the Republicans have never been the recipients of a friendly media for many a decade now.

All you did was restate your original premise, which is what my question is about. I don't think any reasonable person sees an "answer" there. At least an "I don't hear you, la, la" would be honest.

re: #103 shiplord kirel

What are the Nirthers trying to accomplish anyway? In the extremely unlikely event they can force Obama out of office, Joe Biden will become POTUS. Is that to anyone's advantage?

Just imagine Gaffey Joe resigning for "reasons of health", what would we get?

Glug.

Unbeknownst to me, my old "Up Your Alley Fair" report has been making serious waves this last week in San Francisco power circles, and has caused a police crackdown on the fair this year! People are furious at me! It's even hit various news sites:

Obama has adopted all of Bush's policies. Now he's adopting Bush's strategies. Don't answer something you know you can win and are right on in order to get your opponents worked up and wasting time on it in order to marginalize them.

I just read through this thread. It was fascinating watching the guy who eventually got blocked, keep coming back for more. I'm not talking about the substance or content; I was just wondering what the pay off is in getting everyone pissed at you. Obviously he was not persuading people, so why do it? It was like a broken record (hate to date myself, but a record is one of those black vinyl discs with grooves in it).

I had no idea!

His very name means "lightening" and since he entered office with THE POWER,he has moved very fast with our money and bowed to his Muslin faith as THE MESSIAH! He can be none other than THE ANTICHRIST! If this is true, and the Holy Bible does not lie, we are in for the 'ride' of our lives. My suggestion is bow to the REAL Christ whose name is JESUS! Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

874 Alcove-One  Fri, May 29, 2009 4:27:44pm

CHARLES-
I really have to take issue. Please read about Les Kinsolving.
In 1972 he was the ONLY San Francisco “journalist” who dared write the truth about Rev. Jim Jones which was very dangerous physically and to his career. If he was listened to in 1972, over 900 people would not have been killed in Jonestown six years later.
In 1982, he was the ONLY “journalist” who asked White Spokesman Larry Speakes about AIDS and the whole room laughed at him then too.
This man should have a J-school named after him.

875 Alcove-One  Fri, May 29, 2009 4:28:58pm

Make that White HOUSE Spokesman Larry Speakes.
sorry

876 Charles Johnson  Fri, May 29, 2009 8:02:13pm

re: #874 Alcove-One

I know very well about Kinsolving's history, and yes, he did good work on the Jim Jones story.

But now he's shilling for kooks. It's sad.
