Have these people ever sat down and listened to anything the president actually has to say, other than in out-of-context five second sound bites? What's going on in conservative media right now is the closest point to propaganda we've been at since the Cold War. This kind of lying bullshit has dehumanized Obama into nothing more than some sort of ghostly phantasmal figure these people will never be able relate to. Part of me genuinely feels sorry for them. They're the ones who use the term "brainwashed" when referring to Obama supporters, and they don't even realize they're brainwashed.

Sometimes I listen to Rush Limbaugh to test my arteries.



Yes. Please keep driving that wedge in between moderate Republicans and fanatics. That's how elections are lost.

Swine Flu and Buttsecks

Just thought I'd mention this while it's still fresh on my mind. Last week, Vice President Joe Biden went on some news show and said that he's telling his family to avoid airplanes, subways, and confined public places if they can, so they won't get swine flu. It was nothing the media hasn't been beating into our heads endlessly over the last couple weeks, and everyone should being doing it if they don't want to get sick because it's common sense.

Fox News is really fucking hilarious. A couple days ago, these hosts on Fox and Friends played the clip of Biden saying these things, and sat around making fun of him. They said he was trying to scare the public. He was overhyping the swine flu. Yeah, really. Fox News seriously said this. And remember, this wasn't even an opinion show like Hannity or O'Reilly, this was on Fox and Friends. Fox and Friends is their morning news show, it's supposed to be happy and giddy and help you start the day off fresh. They neglected to mention how their own network literally called swine flu the "next black death."

Enemy Swine: A Pigcalypse Now

Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor First 100 Days

The current swine flu outbreak is suspected to have killed 150 people worldwide, at the very most. More realistic estimates put it at 100. Only 11 of those cases have been confirmed. In the United States alone, normal flu hospitalizes 100,000 people every single year. 36,000 die.

This is nothing but a false alarm just like SARS and avian flu, and the media is just scaring everyone shitless for ratings. It's what they do. They're unethical, heartless bastards who never bother to do any god damn reporting. If they keep crying wolf like this, nobody is going to take them seriously if an actual threat ever does break out, such as the coming zombie apocalypse for example.

Shortly after this trainwreck, the hosts asked Mike Huckabee to talk about Miss California's thoughts on gay marriage. Pretty much everybody's seen this by now, but



Miss California got 2nd place, and Mike Huckabee accused the judges of not letting her win because of her answer to this question. He said, in these exact words, "So much for tolerance," almost as if faggot-bashing bigots are the ones who are being tolerant.

Miss California thinks it's great how our country allows us to choose between gay marriage and "opposite marriage." Then she says we shouldn't let gays marry. I would like her to describe her definition of "choose." And opposite marriage. This woman is a complete dumbfuck, and I'm guessing she's used to free passes in life because of how hot she is. Her sorry excuse for a mind contributes absolutely nothing to the human race. She is a worthless sack of human shit just like most of Miss America's participants and judges, since they don't look the quality of women based on things that matter, but rather on how pretty they are.

This is the first time I've ever heard of Perez Hilton, so I don't know if he typically does things like this. But if he really did vote against Miss California because of her answer, like Huckabee is accusing him of doing, then Perez Hilton is a hero. This woman's shameful opinion is worthless and disgusting. It only showed America that she doesn't want others experiencing the same happiness she's able to. It proved just how cold and empty her heart really is. If this competition was actually based on morality, intellect, and things that actually matter, then her losing it was pure justice.

You should respect someone who disagrees with you if they're able to back up their claims with arguments that are rational and make sense. Opponents of gay marriage are the only widely accepted group of people in the country whose opinions do not deserve respect in any form. You don't respect racists. You don't respect sexists. Just like with racism and sexism, their worldview is not based on any sort of rational argument, but rather on blind fear. They say the bible opposes gay marriage, while refusing to acknowledge the fact that our government cannot endorse Christianity as law. They say it's not natural, when there are literally thousands of documented accounts of animals in same-sex relationships, sometimes adopting and successfully raising orphans that would have otherwise perished. They say it's not "traditional," when the word is absolutely meaningless and contributes nothing to the debate. They say it will lead to polygamy, incest, and bestiality, when gays aren't asking for any of these things, and they're avoiding the discussion entirely.

Gays getting married will never, ever effect them. And yet they still feel the need to suppress the rights of others so they can pat themselves on the back and be smothered with their sick delusion that they are somehow doing the right thing. I seriously think that most of these idiots think you have to be gay to support gay rights. Either that, or they harbor homosexual urges themselves and can't deal with it, so they lash out at the faggotry outside their heads as a defense mechanism. I'm really trying to figure out why these people think like this. They cannot be reasoned with. It's beyond their capacity to question established thinking, because the mere thought altering their safe little box just downright petrifies them. Human beings are separated from the animals by our reasoning powers, so I guess that means they're less human than the rest of us.

GOP in Exile Stark Raving Madness

I've been neglecting this blog largely because I finally got Empire: Total War to work. I've been wasting most of my free time with it, and haven't been paying attention to the news, or really much of the outside world you'd typically call "reality." I'll probably make a post about it soon, but to catch up, I've neglected to update on the moderate conservatives' huge victory recently in the Republican Civil War.

This is pretty big news by now, but Arlen Specter, a Republican for 43 years, has defected to the Democratic Party because he feels the Republican Party has moved too far to the right. Instead of realizing their party has moved too far to the right, the Republicans have proceeded to shove their fingers in their ears, and attempt to discredit Specter's librul character--the tactic they always resort to when they can't come up with any arguments.

I'm a fan of the two-party system, but its most prominent problem is that it thrives on group mentality. You know your democracy is extremely healthy when someone is able to disagree with his own party on any issue he wants to. The Democrats have been accomplishing this by splitting on a number of issues, such as whether we should have bailed out certain corporations, or whether we should pursue trials for the war crimes that the Bush Administration committed. There's strong disagreement over things like these, but the party has still managed to stick together with a mutual respect for each others' views. Republicans have not been able to do this. Whenever a Republican disagrees with his party, it's viewed as a sign of weakness or cowardice. Every single time it happens, they immediately have dirty, nasty sex with the no true Scotsman fallacy, asserting that the defector just isn't a REAL Republican! So to avoid these accusations, these people just decide not to think for themselves and follow along with whatever the hell their leaders say.

That's why they mindlessly went along with George Bush for eight years before throwing him under a bus, and it's also why the Republican party at the moment is being run by extremists and people who pander to extremists. They can't slow the train down because don't hold the capacity to question anything. Their view of the world is limited to extremes and they can't deal with the fact that moderates even exist. So they have to slap labels on everyone to convince themselves of the delusional lie they're consumed in--that the opposition is just as extreme as they are; that Barack Obama is a socialist, or that he's a fascist, or that he pals around with terrorists. Their mentality thrives on straw men as their only possible enemy, which is dangerous to both their own mental state, and the country as a whole.

So let's point and laugh at their depressing fantasy world. Here's a video mashup.

Republican Senator Olympia Snowe feels that the far right is destroying the Republican Party, and they should return to their roots.



----------------------------
In the heat of discussion, Sean Hannity has recently said that he would personally undergo waterboarding in order to prove that it should not be considered torture. Political commentator Keith Olbermann challenged him to go through with it, offering any charity of his choice $1000 dollars for every second he can sustain it. Sean Hannity has yet to mention it again.



Christopher Hitchens, an outspoken libertarian, atheist, and personal hero of mine, at one point believed that waterboarding should not be called torture. He was challenged to have it done to himself, and he accepted. The experience shifted his opinion entirely. Every person who calls himself an American has an responsibility to watch this.



----------------------------

Brian Kilmeade doesn't think John McCain should have any right to speak on torture... because... he was tortured?



----------------------------
Michelle Bachmann finds it "interesting" that the last time the swine flu broke out was back in the 70s under "another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."



Well if she's not blaming it on Barack Obama, then what the hell is she doing? What was she trying to say? What was her point? How is this "interesting coincidence" a coincidence at all, if she then immediately clarifies that it is not in fact a coincidence? I know this is part of the Republican playbook, but you can't say something completely retarded, and then claim in your very next sentence that you didn't say it. Either stand by your words or admit you were mistaken, you god damn coward.

Also, I don't think she knows that the last swine flu actually broke out in 1976 under Republican President Gerald Ford--the guy who pardoned Nixon. COINCIDENCE? I think not. I want to know why she thinks Barack Obama caused this. Does she think God launches disease on us as retribution for occasionally electing immigrant sodomizers? Our bad, God. Please stop clicking the Sim City 2000 disaster button on us. This insane person is a member of the House of Representatives, doesn't that frighten anyone? Because it should. Unlike Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, SHE HAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES.

Other than the media, no one can be blamed for this overhyped media scare, but let's pretend anyway. If we could blame the swine flu on anyone, then it's the Republicans' fault by putting on a spectacle to prevent a vote on Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Why did they do this? She supports abortion. In case you didn't know, the debate over the legality of abortion in the United States has been settled for quite some time. Now, maybe if they tried blocking someone who opposed U.S. law, I might be able to understand where they're coming from. But I don't understand this. Abortion was going to continue even if Sebelius hadn't been confirmed. And she was going to be confirmed whether they did this or not. These sorry excuses for people are nothing but traitorous shitbags who are obstructing my government, and it shames me to no end to share the title of "American" with them.

----------------------------
Hey I know, let's introduce something that will obviously not pass, and then use it to accuse Democrats of hating veterans.



Oh really, Sean? I can't recall there ever being violent crimes in this country directed at people solely because of their veteran status. From what I can tell, veterans are the most respected group in the entire country. Have there ever been American lynch mobs that actively seek out, torture, and hang members of the armed forces?

If anyone hates veterans, it's the closeted homosexual conservatives who enjoy kicking soldiers who defend us out of the military in disgrace because of their sexual orientation. Or maybe it's the Republicans who refused to pay World War I veterans and their families the bonuses they were promised, which led to this utter tragedy.

"President Hoover ordered the Army assault stopped, however, Gen. MacArthur—feeling this free-speech exercise was a Communist attempt at overthrowing the U.S. Government—ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Hundreds of veterans were injured, several were killed — including William Hushka and Eric Carlson; a veteran's wife miscarried; and many other veterans were hurt."

Douglas MacArthur was a fucking jackass, I'm glad his myth is starting to get torn down.

----------------------------

Republican Representative Virginia Foxx knows what teh gheys are really planning.

(rape)



According to Matthew Shepard's parents, he was "...an optimistic and accepting young man [who] had a special gift of relating to almost everyone. He was the type of person who was very approachable and always looked to new challenges. Matthew had a great passion for equality and always stood up for the acceptance of people's differences." It comforts me knowing his mother was sitting there in the room and heard this woman spew these sickening lies about her dead son.

You know, considering the history of social issues in the United States, the side that didn't murder people was usually the one that came out in the right. That's how to decide which issues you should support. Go with the side that doesn't kill people.

----------------------------

And last but not least,



The founding fathers were all brilliant men, but they were also elitist fucktards. When they wrote the Constitution, they intended the U.S. government to be based more on the Roman Republic, rather than the Greek Democracy. At first only the upper class were actually allowed to vote. They didn't want the uneducated lower class riff raff to take part in the democratic process, because they feared that a true democracy in the Greek sense would inevitably lead to forceful mob rule, and the minority would be endlessly oppressed. They were smart. Their solution was dead wrong, but still, what they feared is a legitimate concern. Luckily, the kinks have been ironed out over the centuries. We slowly started opening up the democratic process to everyone, and at the same time, started implementing more checks and balances to protect the minority. We're now left with an amazing fusion between Democracy and Republic. It's truly the most beautiful form of government that has ever graced the earth.

These fuckers with the guns? Yeah, they're the angry uneducated mob the founders were scared of. If I had to design a government, I wouldn't let them vote either. I'm just saying.

I don't really know what Glenn Beck is talking about, but I think he just blamed the swine flu on Barack Obama?

Liberalism: The Philosophy of Patriots

Oh no, you guys. My worst fear has come true. I'm a socialist now. The Republicans say so.

A conservative faction of the Republican National Committee is urging the GOP to take a harder line against both Democrats and wayward Republicans, drafting a resolution to rename the opposition the “Democrat Socialist Party” and moving to rebuke the three Republican senators who supported the stimulus package.

In an e-mail sent Wednesday to the 168 voting members of the committee, RNC member James Bopp, Jr. accused President Obama of wanting “to restructure American society along socialist ideals.”

“The proposed resolution acknowledges that and calls upon the Democrats to be truthful and honest with the American people by renaming themselves the Democrat Socialist Party,” wrote Bopp, the Republican committeeman from Indiana. “Just as President Reagan’s identification of the Soviet Union as the ‘evil empire’ galvanized opposition to communism, we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism.”

There's James Bopp. Just look. Look at that fucking guy. Jesus. Look at him. "Huuurrr durf durf look at me I'm James Bopp." Jesus, dude.

Didn't these guys get the memo? The word "socialism" has lost its oomph. They're supposed to be calling us fascists now, because hey, everybody still hates fascists.

“We’ve so overused the word ‘socialism’ that it no longer has the negative connotation it had 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago,” Mr. Anuzis said. “Fascism — everybody still thinks that’s a bad thing.”

I checked out a book from the library earlier today called "The American Tory" because I'm a huge nerdy faggot. The two political parties in Great Britain during the Revolutionary War were the Tories and the Whigs. The Tories supported the war in the colonies, and the Whigs opposed it. I love the very first words written in this book:

The conservative is by nature fearful. He risks only when confronted with no other alternative. He has courage, but only to face the known. He cannot project that courage into the future. In short, the conservative lacks daring and foresight; he holds, instead, an ability to innovate only within the narrow confines of the status quo. Conservatives are admired; but only those who dare are idolized, at least, those who dare successfully.

The American Tory has borne a double burden of historical and popular disapproval, since he could not envision future greatness as a separate nation and was long judged and condemned as unpatriotic. He espoused a political philosophy that was founded in tradition, in stable law, and non-polished justice. His arguments were, in more cases than not, well-reasoned, erudite, and ponderous with precedent. But the question must be asked: when must uncertain change take precedence over established belief? To the Tory mind gradual change was the utopian way; swift transition led only to chaos, anarchy, and the displacement, forever, of classical beauty. To his mind present evil was to be borne stoically, for a future grounded in tradition would erase his suffering. He could not see that such gradualism frequently results in complacency. Tradition very often loses its humanity and tries to find fulfillment in security.

Here's a quote from George Washington:

“As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”

But George Washington was a socialist. Everyone knows that.

Wrex. Shepard.

I've always respected Shepard Smith. He seems to be the only voice of sanity on Fox. He's done things like calling Joe the Plumber out on his bullshit, calling out the phoney paranoia about the non-existent liberal media conspiracy, he's made fun of Glenn Beck for his complete insanity. He's basically awesome.

Hardline conservatives love making up controversies, and they've really been on a roll lately. They just love being victims. In response to the DHS's report about neo-nazi extremists, people like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Dobbs suddenly think they're neo-nazi extremists. They are just shocked, shocked, that the libruls would target the teabaggers like this! Because just like everything else on the entire planet, this report was only about them. All of it.

LIBRUUUUULLLLZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!11
(throws hat on the ground and stomps on it before angrily shaking fist in the air)

Anyway, Shepard did something rarely seen on Fox News. He actually did his job as a reporter. He called these people out on their bullshit. It was beautiful.



I will guarantee you that anyone who's buying into this crap hasn't even read the thing. Not that they can read all dat gewd anyway. There are three key points the report makes. Quotes:

• Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
  

• The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.
  

• The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
  

It goes on to say,

A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman’s reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled “one world government.”

It's not often you get to see such blatant propaganda in action. Behold:



I love how they all say this attacks conservatives, when the word "conservative" isn't anywhere in the entire report. Information-gathering for this began back during the election, when George Bush was president. You know what that means. The people behind this report are targeting... THEMSELVES!! THE PLOT THICKENS.

I don't get it. How are you supposed to argue against this stuff? As soon as a conservative thinktank lie is exposed for the lie it is, the damage is done, and they already have a new lie out there. It's genius. These are some real fucking evil people doing this.

This week in political news

On the liberal-progressive front, Anna Marie Cox continues to deepen my mad crush on her.



On the conservative front, Glenn Beck is still being Glenn Beck



Haha, and the slavery comparison. Classy. It comforts me knowing the country still isn't falling for this.


And on the irresponsible let's-make-up-a-controversy front, CNN continues to beat the dead body of mainstream journalism.



WHO CARES. WHO CARES. WHO CARES. WHO CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRES. COVER SOMETHING THAT'S FUCKING RELEVANT YOU GOD DAMN INCOMPETENT SHITHEADS. FUCK. "WE'RE AMERICA WE DON'T BOW TO ANYONE BLAH BLAH BLAH" SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GOD DAMN MORONS. FUCKING CHRIST. DICK NIPPLES.

Oh Hannity, you cute bumbling paranoid fuck.

According to Sean Hannity, Barack Obama has "seemingly apologiz[ed] for our engagement in the war on terror." What the president actually said was "The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam." Conservatives continue still to confuse normal Islam with terrorist cults. Have I ever expressed how glad I am that these fucking morons aren't in power? Because I am.



“Okay, there was never a president who said we're going to have a war against Islam.”

And Obama never said there was. He wasn't "apologizing" on behalf of George Bush, he was "apologizing" on behalf of dumbshits like you who say the Qur'an is no different from Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Shortly after Obama was inaugurated, I started compiling a list of right wing propaganda. Because it's one thing to call something propaganda simply out of anger or frustration, but it's a whole new ball game if you can gather the evidence for it. So that's what I've been doing. At first this was only going to be directed towards Drudge Report, but then I started noticing things on Fox so I decided to include them too. I tried to leave the opinionated stuff out of this completely, all of these are trying to play themselves off as legitimate news.

Fox News criticizes an anti-Rove attack ad. When they play the ad, they neglect to mention that they've edited it.



Fox News plays some clips of people saying the economy is getting better. They say all the clips are recent. They throw in a six month old speech by Joe Biden out of nowhere. He was making fun of John McCain, and they edit it out of context.



Apparently, Barack Obama wants to enact Sharia law. This allegation is based on an email claiming that Yale Dean Harold Koh, who is now an appointee to the State Department, said Sharia law could apply to the U.S. Fox was unable to reach the author of the email for comment, but went ahead with the story anyway. The thing turned to be completely false.



Barack Obama says that Americans have shown arrogance and been dismissive towards Europe. Sean Hannity gets angry and neglects to play what Obama says less than a minute later when he finishes his point. He continues by saying Europeans have held the same attitudes towards Americans, and there needs to be a mutual understanding.



BLAME AMERICA FIRST??!!!?!!??!!1

Now on to Drudge.




This was posted the day the stimulus bill passed in the House.




They've apparently never met a single teenager during the Bush years.




Politico: Abraham Lincoln doesn't go anywhere without his notes




This was on the day Obama allowed us pursue stem cell research like the rest of the world. The only reason Obama needed to "unleash" science in the first place was because the leash Bush put on it was so god damn tight. Seriously Drudge, are you a time traveler from the Dark Ages? Science is suddenly bad. In the year 2009.




Just like every single president who has ever lived.




That Republican Congressman couldn't possibly have any sort of motive for saying these things.




So here's a picture of some women, chosen completely at random.




Just like what the entire Congress did when the economy crashed. But instead, here's a picture of Barney Frank.




OH NO, WE CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY WE'RE THROWING IN THEIR FACES, THAT WOULD BE SOCIALISM




Heh.




WHAT A FUCKING RETARD




SO HERE'S A PICTURE OF OBAMA IN A HITLER POSE




Radical! Cowabunga, dude!




Get it? Because he's on TV.




YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY IN A RECESSION WHAT A DISGRACE




I hope the Cold War NEVER ends!

Shooting Followup

Crooks and Liars found the myspace page of the shooter's "best friend" who's been interviewed a lot today. Interesting reading material on it:

"DOCUMENTS I RECCOMEND YOU READ BY GOOGLE: "Civil War II" by Tom Chittum "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" "The Turner Diaries" by Dr. William Pierce "Jewish Supremacy" by Dr. David Duke It Has Even Been Documented In The Communist Manifesto: "“We must realize that our party’s most powerful weapon is racial tension. "By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. "In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavour to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negros. "We will aid the Negros to rise to prominence in every walk of life, in the professions, and in the world of sports and entertainment."

According to another friend,

"He always said that if someone tried to take his weapons away he would do what his forefathers told him to do and defend himself."

... Mr. Poplawski was opposed to Mr. Obama's election, which he thought would result in the loss of his rights, Mr. Vire said. [...]

Mr. Poplawski told him he bought his guns "because he felt the quality of life was being diminished," Mr. Vire said.

Poplawski's neighbor said in a Fox interview that the violence was brought on by gun paranoia as well. Video included in the link up there.

This isn't the first time mainstream conservative propaganda has killed people. Last July, two people were murdered in a church. According to police interviews of the shooter,

"Adkisson stated that he had targeted the church because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of major media outlets. Adkisson made statements that because he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them into office. Adkisson stated that he had held these beliefs for about the last ten years."

At his home, they found the following books:

• "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage
• "Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism" by talk show host Sean Hannity
• "The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life" by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly
  

Here's some conservative drum pounding to incite rage over the invisible liberal boogeyman trying to take away our guns, even though there is absolutely no evidence that Democrats are trying to do that. I hope shitbags like Glenn Beck have trouble sleeping at night.

Barack Obama's Third Quarter Progress Report

Barack Obama has been president for 74 days -- three-quarters through that crucial "First Hundred Days" that help define each presidency. Well it's been a complete disaster, obviously. Comrade Obama is taking the country on a one-way trip to socialism by 'spreading the wealth.' Which in no way has ever been done before since the country's founding. Never.

And the stimulus, boy, what a miserable failure. What a radical commie-terrorist brutal ass rape of the country. In fact, it's doing so terrible, that the Dow Jones has had its best four weeks since 1933. Wasn't there some sort of "deal" passed in 1933 to combat some sort of depression of greatness or something... it might have been inherently similar to the stimulus that Barack Obama just passed, but I can't remember right now. Regardless, that failed too. And there are so many brilliant economists around the world that disagree with the stimulus, that every industrialized nation on the planet that has had its economy crash are enacting similar plans. What a doofus!


Former President Bill Clinton (MONICA LEWINSKY SUCKED HIS COCK LOL), who saw a $167 billion surplus between 1998 and 2001, said in February that he would have done exactly what Obama is doing right now. But his surplus never happened, and irrelevant things like "numbers" and "facts" are just a bunch of librul lies.

And Obama's trip to Europe! Wow! What a complete disaster! He gave the Queen of England an iPod as a gift, when -- get this -- SHE ALREADY OWNS ONE LOLLLLLL. What a foreign policy plunder, this'll set back our relations by twenty years! But the Queen didn't request it herself or anything. She didn't want to replace her non-video iPod with a video iPod. Anyone who tells you that is a brainwashed slave of the librul media.



And the Europeans HATE him!! You can tell because the British press asked him relevant questions while he was over in England! Women in the streets who try to kiss him (1:08) are just a bunch of cowards who surrendered to the Nazis! Because they're French and the Frenchies are stupid LOL!!

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

In summary, Barack Obama is a radical communist -- even more radical than half the democrats in Congress who say he's too moderate and isn't left-leaning enough. He's trying to secure the rule of Democrats for the next fifty years, just like what FDR did after the American people saw how brilliantly Democrats handled the Great Depression! If Barack Obama is successful, Repubicans won't gain power! He's a menace who needs to be stopped!

Michele Bachman is a crazy fucking bitch

Michele Bachman is known for past antics such as when she called for a national investigation to see which of her colleagues in Congress oppose America. Surprise! She's a Republican!

Last week, Bachmann joined the growing list of fucking lunatics calling for armed violence against the government of the United States. But unlike other maniacs of the same mentality who are subtle and sly about it, Bachman just went right out and said it. On Sean Hannity's radio show, she said that Americans should get “armed and dangerous,” and paraphrased Thomas Jefferson when he said new revolutions are sometimes necessary. But she specified that she meant an "orderly revolution," which of course doesn't exist because all armed revolutions are violent and terrible. Sean Hannity agreed with every word. Here's some quotes, and here's the audio recording in its full context.

The Young Turks are brilliant as always



Conservatives who support a revolution against the United States government so far:

• Michelle Bachmann
• Sean Hannity (he never disagreed with her)
• Chuck Norris
• Alan Keyes
• Glenn Beck (Look up the definition of "propaganda" and tell me this is not propaganda)

These people just want better ratings and more votes. They make shit up. "Democrats are trying to bring back the Fairness Doctrine." "Democrats are trying to ban all firearms." "Democrats are trying to establish an international currency." No one is calling to ban all guns. No one wants to establish an international currency. A couple politicians whispered about the Fairness Doctrine, and nobody took them seriously. It's obvious these right wing fuckers don't even believe what they're saying, but the problem is that there are people who are taking this stuff very seriously. Here's a youtube video promoting an upcoming protest. It shows pictures of the American Revolution and the Texan War for Independence, and then says “Sometimes history must repeat itself.” That's a call for civil war. I really hope the feds are keeping an eye on this shit. Barack Obama has barely been in office for two months. I don't even want to think about where their sanity will be in two years.



And the scariest part? There is not a single elected Republican speaking out against this. Remember whenever a Democrat said something whacky during the Bush years? The Democrats would reign him in. This is some real serious shit, and their complete silence about it says a-fucking-lot.

"So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs"

Well, not that it needs to be repeated any more, but Bill O'Reilly is pretty much a fucking scumbag. Not too long ago, he was scheduled to speak at the Alexa Foundation, which supports rape survivors. A blogger named Amanda Terkel brought to everyone's attention that Bill shouldn't speak there, because of some comments he made in the past which implied that rape victims were somehow at fault for being raped.

Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to college. She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning. She’s walking by herself on the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she’s out of her mind, drunk.

and

I think it’s safe to say that if Mel Gibson didn’t get drunk, he wouldn’t be in this terrible situation he finds himself in. And if a young woman, 18-year-old Jennifer Moore of Harrington Park, NJ, didn’t get drunk, she’d be alive today.

Well, Bill didn't take Ms. Terkel's quest for truth too kindly, so instead of inviting her on his show to explain herself, he ambushes her on the street, heavily edits the "interview" to make her look foolish, and calls her a liar because she wasn't able to remember Bill's exact quote.



I love how Bill calls her a "villain," and gives her labels such as "far-left blogger" and propagandist. The producer who stalked Terkel told her she doesn't even know what Bill meant by the comments, and they were taken out of context. This is what these people do. Whenever conservative shitheads like Bill, or Rush, or Coulter, or Hannity say something utterly retarded that can't be defended, they just shout "OUT OF CONTEXT" without even bothering to explain what the original context of the statement was. Bill never played the soundbites in question, nor did he even try to defend them. All he did was make a sorry attempt at attacking Terkel's credibility, and in the eyes of his viewers, he probably succeeded.

Oh, and did anyone else catch him calling Media Matters a "hate group?" Quoting transcripts in full = Hate Group.

Needless to say, Terkel wasn't too happy. She wrote this this morning, and rips Bill a new one. Not that he'll take notice, his viewers can barely read anyway.

But let's go easy on him. O'Reilly has a strong history of defending women, such as when he sexually harasses them.

"So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard"

Keep fighting the good fight, Bill.

Here's an insane but interesting "Sky is Falling!" article. It draws on the similarities of America's current situation, and Germany's Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic was the government that took over Germany immediately following World War I. It attempted to establish a liberal democracy, after the German right pounded on the drums for war and caused their economy to completely collapse. It failed upon the rise of Hitler. This article pointed out a lot of resemblances concerning Germany's right and America's right, such as taking deliberate action to make the leadership fail out of a "masturbatory lust for the return to power," or pointing the finger not at the right wing that caused the mess, but at some obscure "government".

Now, no rational person should agree with this dude's conclusion. I think he's overblowing the financial crisis just a tad, and we're probably not going to see Republicans go around the streets kicking the shit out of political opponents any time soon. The rise and fall of fascism was two generations ago. I have faith in humanity, I think we've matured a lot since then. We should just look at this article on a psychological level. I think it's interesting how human beings repeat certain things when the conditions are somewhat similar.

A bit off topic, but up until recently, I've resisted calling Fox News "propaganda". It's only conservatively biased, I mean at least they weren't flat out making shit up, right? Well I guess I just haven't watched it in a while, because there's really no other name you can call this.



I hope Glenn Beck launches a revolution. Then I'd be able to legally shoot him.
