For Preventing The Grandmas of Conservative People in America
From Being a burden to their relatives and our Country, and
For Making Them Beneficial to The Public

My predecessor made a good case for cooking children, when those beggar brats were being so bothersome to Irishmen.

Well, conservative Grandma's are being a huge tax burden. Medicare money that could be going to a free market is being spent on those old geezers who can't even be grateful for it. Free Market Jesus would weep at the infamy!

Sure, the meat of the elderly wouldn't be a s tender and juicy as a kids, but with the right seasonings and some pressure cooking it could be passable. Besides, we can cancel SCHIP and Social Security while we are at it. Why have any government health program after all ? More for the cooking pot. Conservatives are hungry for more meat and less taxes. Let's give them what they want!!!

Blogger Elizabeth from "The Middle of Nowhere" has made a handy form to give to townhall screamers that hate government funded programs:

I'm getting a stack of those to hand out to the neocons at the office and in my neighborhood!

PS: Elizabeth also has a challenge for teabaggers and anti-health care reform nuts. Go check it out!
PPS: The creator of the form itself goes by the moniker Zulch on Photobucket

Glenn Greenwald and Marcy Wheeler have been looking at the media reaction to news ~~that the emperor had no clothes~~ that Bush used terror alerts for political reasons.

Ambinder acknowledges that Bush critics were right that the terror alerts ... but still says journalists like himself were right to scorn [Bush] critics "because these folks based their assumption on gut hatred for President Bush, and not on any evaluation of the raw intelligence

Marcy and Glenn already eviscerated Ambinder - one of the few traditional media figures to even acknowledge how the media was wrong - so I won't go there. But I can't stop myself from pointing the irony:
My, my.. How interesting! You mean people who exhibit gut hatred aren't to be taken seriously by "serious" journalists ?

You mean exhibition of GUT HATRED for the current President, such as asking for a birth certificate, claiming death panels exist, claiming the President is a secret muslin, is a Nazi, etc... aren't being taken seriously ?

Look, fistfights are silly but people are coming to this things with rifles. Takes very little imagination to know what is next.

David Neiwert reports

Two arrests were made following a brief fistfight between a female marcher, Jessica Maldonado of East Haven, and Chelsea Fiorentino, an 18 year-old New Haven woman who was standing with a counter protest made up of members of two white pride organizations. Maldonado’s father, Dimas Maldonado, said that his family has suffered from police harassment.

The argument allegedly started after Chelsea Fiorentino yelled an insult at Maldonado, who then crossed the street and confronted her. East Haven police quickly separated the women, placed them under arrest, and kept the march moving.

Let the tebaggers win Obama. That will make them like you... Will be good for the entire country to show lies and craziness work. Give them a taste of victory and legitimacy. That will make them stop and behave better...

Video at Think Progress

Last week, Las Vegas radio station KDWN AM720 sponsored a "contentious" town hall, emceed by conservative morning show host Heidi Harris. At the event, local news stations were interviewing an Israeli man who was praising the "fantastic" "national health care" in Israel. During his remarks, a woman yelled out, "Heil Hitler!" The man stopped, became visibly upset, and exclaimed, "Did you hear this? She say to a Jew, ‘Heil Hitler’! Hear? I’m a Jew! You’re telling me, ‘Heil Hitler’? Shame of you!" After he angrily confronts her, the woman mocks him by making a crying sound to imply he is a whining baby.

Guess Wolfowitz, Perle and others picked up a fine group of people to be allied with, no ?

Has this been diared yet ?

FINAL UPDATE: The woman has been identified as Pamela Pilger. Do NOT post her personal info here. Outing people is what GOP does, not us.

Funny how cons think. An industry that generates millions of jobs and makes our country strong, like the auto-industry should be left out to die, because "they were nice to the Unions". Forget that thousands of Republicans have car dealerships and a lot of America's economy depends on it.

But threaten to cut into the profits of an industry that doesn't manufacture ANYTHING, it just sells paper bets that you won't get sick too soon or too often, and all hell breaks lose. Socialism!!! Death Panels!!! End of the World as you know it!!!

Which industry would make the country better off in the future ? An industry that makes things, trains our workforce on how to make things and keeps our industrial park up to date... Or an industry that sells paper, browbeats doctors into using less tests and preventive medicine and makes our workforce more expensive to employers ?

SIGH... The st000pid, it burns!!!!

A mental health break on today's racist news... We won against this kind of people before. We just have to expose them for what they are. Confused, fearful, ignorant people being exploited by liars and bigots.

Although in Gingrich's case, if he claimed Obama "turned him into a Newt" he wouldn't be lying too much ;)

UPDATE: Bonus Monthy Python applicable to Health care.

Blue Dog Democrats. We support for them thinking they are just resting, but will actually DO SOMETHING when we need them, but turns out they are just like Blue Norwegian parrots

I have lived in a dictatorship in Latin America, where you really could be shot for being against government. In a real dictatorship, middle aged and senior people do not go to the streets to be shot. They have too much to lose, too many people who depend on them. When things get really, really bad, the young people, with no kids to care for and a lot of naivete about life might take the streets - as we have seen in Iran - and they do get shot to death.

Think about it. If you think someone is trying to kill you or a member of your family FOR REAL, what would you do ?

If the teabaggers did believe their lies, they would either come armed and start shooting democrats or hole up in a compound, armed to the teeth. David Koresh and his gang were afraid for their lives. The guy who shot 3 policemen dead in his house was afraid.

But not those middle class gladbaggers on townhalls. They are not afraid of being put to death. Heck, the townhall screamers aren't even afraid of being arrested for disorderly conduct.

Pat Fitzgerald Named Interim Chairman of AG Advisory Committee

In his new role, Fitzgerald will be the lead voice for the U.S. attorney community. It’s the latest high-profile assignment for America’s prosecutor, who has been busy overseeing the prosecution of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), bringing down mortgage fraudsters, and fighting with journalists.

Now if only he would go after Cheney...

ROFL.... Via Jesus General, the "Kenyan Birth Certificate" author hid a message - within the picture itself - for the fools who took it seriously.

In fact the IPTC markup data of the document reveals it to be a fake

NOTICE: This image is a work of parody and political commentary. It is not a genuine government document. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. A certified copy of his birth record is freely available online. If you thought this was Obama’s real birth certificate, a "smoking gun" proving he’s not a natural-born citizen, then congratulations. You are an idiot. I made this from scratch. It is completely fake, and no document from Kenya or the United Kingdom resembles it.Obama’s president, and will be for the next 3 1/2 to 7 1/2 years. Get used to it.

July 16. Today. Dkos front page shows that this day marks the anniversary of two major science victories, that couldn't be more diametrically opposed:
Hell:

And so the Nuclear Age began, 64 years ago today.

Heaven:

Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were aboard the mission named Apollo 11, launched...

Ironically, today was just the beginning for both events. A month later, in August 1945, the US would truly use the weapon it debuted today. And Appolo 11 would only realize it's potential 4 days later, when it landed on the moon, with Armstrong taking "a small step for man and a giant leap for mankind".

Even more noteworthy, both events registered the "top" of their mission. Never again would nuclear weapons be used in war, and never again would mankind walk on the moon.

Makes me wonder...

So we find that Evil Dick had a mossad like assassination squad. Since 2002. Why the hell didn't he send his hit team to kill Saddam ? Why the hell did 4,000+ of our soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis had to die to get Saddam out ? For that matter, why is Bin Laden still alive ?

the secret CIA program involving a Dick Cheney coverup that is currently in the news consisted of dispatching assassination teams to various countries to kill individuals who were known to be al-Qaeda supporters

Truth is, the CIA hit teams weren't even ordered to do it!!!

The New York Times is also reporting now that the secret Bush-era CIA program kept from Congress ... was a plan to assassinate top al Qaeda officials that was never implemented.

Don't get me wrong, I think a hit squad is awful, but after torturing hundreds to death and transforming a whole country into rubble I'm not gonna quibble with details. The brutal truth is that Bush and Cheney had all the means to take out Saddam and Al Qaeda. But never did.. And I think I know why.
