RNC Chair Priebus "Asking Questions:" Does Obama Support Infanticide?

RNC Chair Priebus “Asking Questions:” Does Obama Support Infanticide?

RNC chairman recycles hateful right wing meme

PoliticsApril 2013 • Views: 29,394

Today in an article for right wing blog redstate.com, RNC chairman Reince Priebus demonstrated how serious the Republican Party is about this “rebranding” thing, by asking if President Obama and the Democratic Party support infanticide. Yes, he really did.

In an article published Wednesday on the conservative website RedState, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus blasted Democrats for supporting Planned Parenthood, while floating the damning suggestion that the likes of President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) support infanticide.

“The President, the Senate Majority Leader, the House Democratic Leader, and the Chair of the Democratic National Committee (in whose home state this hearing occurred) made funding Planned Parenthood an issue in the 2012 campaign,” Priebus wrote. “They should now all be held to account for that outspoken support. If the media won’t, then voters must ask the pressing questions: Do these Democrats also believe a newborn has no rights? Do they also endorse infanticide?”

This is damage control, folks — a sop thrown to the religious right, who are getting very angry with the Republican Party and their talk of “rebranding.” The absurdly hateful lie that President Obama supports infanticide has been bouncing around the right wing echo chamber for years, impervious to refutation, and Priebus is very calculatedly playing to that lovely group of people who are willing and eager to believe it.

Steele oversees successful campaign to retake the House and gain seats in the Senate, gets shit-canned for being a “RINO.”

Priebus oversees not only a failed presidential run, but winds up losing seats in both houses of Congress, gets to keep his job without so much as a quibble.

re: #7 Charles Johnson

Some senators are doing the same thing. It’s good to see some of our govt officials are willing to sacrifice pay for the good of the country. Unfortunately most of them aren’t.

Few senators sacrifice pay amid cuts

Only a few senators are planning to forfeit a portion of their salaries to charity or the U.S. Treasury while sequestration is in effect, according to a survey conducted by The Hill.

The Senate last month passed a measure urging members of the upper chamber to forgo 20 percent of their salary during sequestration. Most senators, however, are keeping quiet on whether they will follow through.

During a marathon session of budget votes, the Senate approved by voice vote an amendment from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) calling on lawmakers to donate 20 percent of their pay to charity or return it to the U.S. Treasury.

In his floor speech, Graham noted that about 500,000 to 600,000 federal employees will be furloughed because of sequestration and that senators should “feel what other people are feeling.”

Yet in a survey of Senate offices by The Hill, only Graham and Sens. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) have indicated they would give up some of their take-home pay.

In a recent press release, Begich — who is up for reelection in 2014 — said he will be voluntarily returning a portion of his salary to the Treasury this year.
Several other senators said they already donate generously to charity, while the majority of offices gave no response at all.

I think Preibus was picked because the GOP saw the demographic shift and Preibus was known in Wisconsin for voter suppression tactics and he was picked to start voter suppression nationally for the benefit of the GOP. If you accept this explanation of why they fired a successful RNC chair for Priebus than giving Steele the boot makes sense. My pet “conspiracy theory’ with my suspicions backed up by this article:

This article was from 2010:

onewisconsinnow.org

Madison - Republican Party of Wisconsin Chair Reince Priebus refuses to acknowledge the RPW’s involvement in a possibly-illegal voter suppression plot, despite the RPW’s Chief Counsel’s signature and name on documents related to the plan between RPW, Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin and the leader of the state’s Tea Party groups.

“Reince Priebus is hiding he Republican Party of Wisconsin’s involvement in this voter caging scheme,” said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. “It’s not the first time Reince Priebus has tried to suppress the vote, and he should be held accountable if improper activity has occurred.”

SEOUL, April 4 (Yonhap) — Adding to weeks-long bellicose rhetoric, North Korea’s military announced Thursday that it would take a series of military actions against the United States.

In a statement, the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army said it would “take a series of strong, actual military countermeasures as the Supreme Command solemnly declared at home and abroad.”

It added it is formally notifying the White House and the Pentagon that “reckless operations” involving cutting-edge nuclear weapons have been finally approved.

As such, Fischer explained, “when the Bible makes claims about history, geography, the origin of all things, when it makes claims about morality and truth, you can trust everything that [it says]”:

Armed ‘anti-government’ parents abduct sons after tying up grandma in Florida

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said that 35-year-old Joshua Hakken tied up Patricia Hauser, the maternal grandmother of 4-year-old Cole Hakken and 2-year-old Chase Hakken, at around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Joshua Hakken took the boys and fled along with his wife, 34-year-old Sharyn Hakken, in Hauser’s 2009 silver Toyota Camry. They are suspected to be traveling in a 2006, black GMC Sierra with Florida tag number U95KT. The truck may also have been pulling a 2012 Forrest River pop-up camper.

“Both suspects are anti-government and have attempted a previous abduction at gunpoint in Louisiana,” a statement from the sheriff’s office warned. “Both subjects are considered armed and dangerous.”

Current dating is a bit different with 1st Thessalonians at 50, Mark not until 70, Revelations at around 90 (though some say as late as 200) and the last of the canonical works, 2 Peter at 150. Huge chunks were finalized around 120 including Luke/Acts & many of the non-Pauline epistles.

As hired-assassins who couldn’t hit the side of a barn if their lives depended on it, the unlikely heirs Breitbart once hired as sycophantic underlings come off as a comedy troupe of slapstick fascists — and it would be funny, if not for the powerful corporate forces sponsoring their attempts at sectarian smears and top-down class warfare.

No, but you are completely delusional, will toss aside things that are inconvenient to your narrative, and accept and promote Genocide and Rape against the non-Orthodox Population of the Balkans, particularly Muslims, you you seem to have a great loathing for.

Perhaps this quote can help you find your way to sanity

Early United Nations investigations concluded that “Rape has been reported to have been committed by all sides to the conflict. However, the largest number of reported victims have been Bosnian Muslims, and the largest number of alleged perpetrators have been Bosnian Serbs. There are few reports of rape and sexual assault between members of the same ethnic group.” It has been claimed that “For the Serbs, the desire to degrade, humiliate, and impregnate Bosnian Muslim women with ‘little Chetniks’ was paramount.”

Of course, you said they deserved it, showing what level of low-life you are. Never mind that people who are under attack tend to chose the leaders who are perceived to be the least compromising and aggressive leaders. Bosnia in the 90’s was attacked by both neighbors.

What eyewitness testimony is he talking about? The one where a sky high Jesus comes out of the tomb supported by two giant angels and followed by a talking cross (that’s actually in one of the Gospels that didn’t make the final cut as one of the Big Four- Gospel of Peter).

Other than that, I’m not aware of any eyewitnesses. Considering that the earliest of the Gospels wasn’t written until 20+ years had passed, they didn’t have any eyewitnesses either.

Other than that, I’m not aware of any eyewitnesses. Considering that the earliest of the Gospels wasn’t written until 20+ years had passed, they didn’t have any eyewitnesses either.

The Bible came straight from God. What more of an eyewitness do you need?

People saw Jesus alive probably the way they see Elvis alive. I think the followers of Jesus had a collective mass hysteria episode and convinced themselves that Jesus was back from the dead. It could be an empty tomb prompted this mass hysteria. In the New Testament all sightings of Jesus were taking place in some sort of dream time episode or people not realizing Jesus was the person they were speaking with until after he left their presence. We don’t have to think the early followers of Jesus made it up they just were primitive people and that is how their emotional states affected them (I think Jesus was a real person and a good person for his time and a lot of myth added onto his story over the centuries).

No, but you are completely delusional, will toss aside things that are inconvenient to your narrative, and accept and promote Genocide and Rape against the non-Orthodox Population of the Balkans, particularly Muslims, you you seem to have a great loathing for.

Perhaps this quote can help you find your way to sanity

Of course, you said they deserved it, showing what level of low-life you are. Never mind that people who are under attack tend to chose the leaders who are perceived to be the least compromising and aggressive leaders. Bosnia in the 90’s was attacked by both neighbors.

How about following the grand LGF tradition of leaving arguments to threads in which they began. This practice of bringing up old grudges to each and every thread is boring and juvenile. Stop it.

I’d have to refresh my memory on this, but I believe that they didn’t even recognize the guy they’d been hanging with for three years after he “arose”.

So according to Bryan Fischer and NC Republicans, if a state wanted to make Islam the state religion, they would be fully 100% on board with it as it would be within the State’s right to do so under the Constitution.

U.S. sending defensive missiles to Guam

Nuts.

…North Korea had threatened a “pre-emptive” nuclear strike against the United States a month ago, and last week the supreme army command ordered its strategic rocket units to combat status for strikes on the US mainland and US bases in Guam and Hawaii.

“The moment of explosion is approaching fast,” Thursday’s statement said, adding that a war could break out on the Korean peninsula “today or tomorrow”.

That is the part that clues me in that their grief induced hysteria inserted Jesus into the world after his death. I can also see why the the tomb was emptied by the authorities after Jesus was executed because it might serves as a rally point for his followers but emptying the tomb backfired on them.

Here’s an interesting question.

How long North Korea sustain a mass mobilization. The country is constantly teetering on the edge of starvation, and they make most of their money through Illicit Means.

2011 - North Carolina GOPers Get In On The ‘Sharia Ban’ Game

Republican lawmakers in North Carolina have introduced a bill to ban the use of “foreign law” in courts, joining a growing number of states that are apparently fearful of Sharia law taking hold in the U.S.

The bill doesn’t specifically mention Sharia law:

The General Assembly hereby declares it to be the public policy of this State to protect its citizens from the application of foreign law that would result in the violation of a right of a natural person guaranteed by the North Carolina Constitution or the United States Constitution.

Last I checked, Christianity wasn’t founded in the US, so it would also be a foreign law if applied to a legal system.

re: #86 NJDhockeyfan

Nuts.

ummm, ok.

I’m wondering if he’s going to be forced to follow through just as a matter of face. That said, nobody’s evacuating dependents and non-essentials from South Korea at this time.

The biggest clue-stick is that North Korea’s best rockets can only barely reach California. Not DC, not Austin. That means any and all threats of offensive action against us are total bluster. North Korea cannot project force.

I do not know what’s going on. My gut feeling is that someone is over his head, desperately needs something in the relief, and is systematically blocked from requesting the relief in a straightforward or peaceful but behind the scenes manner.

Or maybe Dennis Rodman gave his family an STD and he’s seeking revenge?

What sucks is the Chinese propping up North Korea for 2 reasons only.

1) Because the Chinese fought for North Korea, they can’t abandon them or the Chinese regime will seem to be declaring that they were wrong in supporting North Korea which resulted in lots of Chinese casualties for nothing (and communist regimes like this can not admit errors)

and I think the most important current reason China backs North Korea:

2) The Chinese fear the USA would not remove her military presence from Korea if the 2 sides are united again like the USA did not remove troops from Germany and expanded into East Germany and eastern Europe. So, China wants a hostile buffer state between itself and an American military base. I think if the USA withdrew from South Korea the Chinese may find they don’t need the North Koreans as a client state anymore and expand their trade with South Korea (plus absorbing North Korea would hobble South Korea and that might also be a benefit to China - as long as US troops are gone). Speculation.

One of the big bosses here at my work (Casino in Northern Nevada) actually tried this line with me. Claimed that he got into a screaming match with then Senator Obama about abortion — and that Obama had the opinion that parents should have the right to abort their children up to 1 year of age.

Yeah. As in, if you aren’t satisfied with your kid up to the first year out of the womb, just go to an “abortionist” and they’ll kill your kid for ya, no questions asked!

It was the first time I felt comfortable enough to flat out call the wingnuts here full of shit. Even if he’s my boss’s boss’s coworker.
