DUmmie FUnnies 07-29-05 ("Clinton 2008 -thump the Bible baby, pull that Democratic lever my children")


Remember during the Democrat presidential primaries when Howard Dean cynically decided to use the “Jesus Strategy” on the campaign trail to tell voters how much he loved Jesus in order to gain votes for himself? That routine worked about as well as John Kerry putting on an Elmer Fudd duck hunting outfit in order to attract the votes of Ohio gun owners. YEAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!! The public can easily see through such antics which always end up BACKFIRING on candidates who try to exploit them. However, the DUmmies NEVER learn as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Clinton 2008 -thump the Bible baby, pull that Democratic lever my children,” which proposes that Hillary Clinton thump the Bible during her presidential campaign. Perhaps Hillary should also borrow her hubby’s giant sized bible that he carried temporarily while facing impeachment charges. For an added touch I recommend that Hillary also wear John Kerry’s Elmer Fudd duck hunting outfit. As usual the delusional DUmmie campaign proposals are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, looking forward to Hillary thumping, is in the [brackets]:


Clinton 2008 -thump the Bible baby, pull that Democratic lever my children


[Cynicism, thy name is Democrat.]


First of all, to those of you with a thinking heart, posit your your hopes in a centrist because it is the only road to the WH for the Democrats. As painful as that truth may be, just remember, no Democrat will sit in the WH without the tireless support of the left. Please, no one be a spoiler. What I am about to say may be shocking but I believe this simple tweak will put a Democrat in the WH. Please keep an open mind and keep in mind your blood pressure. The republicans have stolen the Bible for themselves and America needs to take it back. Our next candidate must take the Bible back for all Americans.


[A simple tweak. Just cynically start thumping the Bible and the American public can be fooled like idiots. Somehow it worked NOT for Howard Dean.]


The Bible, as a book, is the rocket away best seller of all time. The Bible is a printing industry within itself. Millions read it. Millions believe it is the word of god. Why not contest the republicans as "The Official Party of God". Republicans like to point out gay issues as anti-god while the ten commandments are definitely anti-Karl Rove.


[Oh yes. It was commandment #7 that stated, “Thy shall not follow the false lead of Karl Rove.” Or was it commandment #8?]


How can this get done? How can we take the Bible's exclusive rights away from the republicans? By having Hillary Clinton open up in a public talk and say, "THIS IS MY BIBLE AND NO ONE IS GOING TO GET BETWEEN ME AND MY BIBLE. AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE MY BIBLE AWAY."


[“YOU CAN TAKE MY BIBLE WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS.”]


She can say this and totally give permission to alot of religious people to vote for Democrats. Some religious people think that Democrats have a plot to get rid of Bibles by suing people who preach from the anti-gay portions of the Bible. They fear civil lawsuits and maybe even jail time for holding on to their Bible-based beliefs. By Hillary saying "no one is going to get between me and my Bible", she is telling the fat ass falwells that she doesn't need their analysis of the Bible to glean out the good stuff. When she says, " no one is going to take away my bible", that is code for no one is going to get sued for their Bible-based faith.


[The problem is that Hillary can’t lie as convincingly as her hubby. She can thump his oversized Bible but it will immediately come off as completely PHONY… Which is why I hope Hillary takes your dopey suggestion. And now let us hear from the Amen Chorus of the rest of your fellow DUmmies.]


shit, I could go for this as I am so damn desperate to get back my country. gawdammit!


[Gawdammit, Hillary! I urge you to cynically thump the Bible if it means winning.]


Hey, whatever works. I'm just sick of republicans blowing up innocent children in Iraq and then have the gall to point out obscure points in the Bible related to gays. It is SHEER POLITICAL STUPIDITY TO ALLOW REPUKES BE SANCTIMONIOUS FRAUDS IN 2008.


[Perhaps Hillary could thump a Bible that has the chapters about Sodom and Gomorrah edited out.]


You still can't ignore the reality...that if Hillary is the nominee, the Religious Right will mobilize against her in *DROVES* in red states.


[No, no. I say nominate Hillary. The public will be completely fooled by Hillary’s cynical and obviously exploitative Bible ploy.]


I think Hillary can get the job done. She has enemies on all sides and still disdainfully moves on and succeeds. She will be an unstoppable avalanche and the fears of the right will prove to be well founded while the fears of the left will prove to be right-wing mind tricks.


[Yes. Hillary can pull off the Bible thumping trick. The public will have NO idea that they are being cynically exploited.]


When she lurches to the right, and then to the left, and back to the right...it looks like she's insincere and inconsistent.


[Really? I never knew that.]


When a neocon mentions it, have the Dem say, "I don't read it, I live it." Done and done.


[DUmmie and DUmmier.]


I'm a polytheist. I believe there are a multitude of deities in existence throughout our universe.


[The Moon God says you’re a Moon Bat.]


Along with that, our candidate ( not necessarily Hillary) could add that "In MY bible, it tells me whatever you do to the least of us you do to me!" Then launch into the Dem proposals. I think it could work WELL!


[Oh, yes. YOUR Bible. The Democrat Party version. Instead of Psalms, it is filled with DNC talking points.]


Bush and Rove may go to Washington but will not go to heaven unless they repent from all their sinning.


[Let me guess. The ONLY way for them to repent from all their sinning is to obey the DNC talking points to the letter.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-27-05 ("Did one of our own knock us off the Rovegate stride?")


The non-existent Karl Rove “scandal” is like heroin for the DUmmies. They need it so badly that they can’t stand to be away from it for long. Too bad that revealing the name of a CIA employee who is NOT covert is NOT a crime. My source for that tidbit is the author of the law making it a crime to reveal the name of a COVERT CIA agent. Additionally, the law’s author specifically said that Rove broke NO law. Of course, the DUmmies could care less about the CIA. All they know is that they think this is a way to “get” Karl Rove. All I can recommend to them is to get fixated on another phony scandal such as Jeff Gannon. It could be like a methadone solution for them when they find out the Rove “scandal” goes NOWHERE. However, in the meantime, the DUmmies don’t want to be diverted from their Rove fixation as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Did one of our own knock us off the Rovegate stride?” The DUmmie fixations about Karl Rove are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, posting from the center of the Perfect Rovian Storm, is in the [brackets]:


Did one of our own knock us off the Rovegate stride?


[Must have my Rove fix! MUST HAVE MY ROVE FIX!!!]


Say what you will about Hillary Clinton's DLC remarks, it would seem that this event, way more than any of Rove's tricks, has knocked Democrats and progressives off their stride in keeping the Rovegate story alive.


[And DAMN that Space Shuttle for diverting our attention from Karl Rove!]


I guess I have to repeat the mantra again: DO NOT LET ANYTHING TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROVEGATE/DSM SCANDAL!!!


[The other day, Petra Verkaik trapped me in a room and exposed her massive mammarian melons to me. However, I repeated the DUmmie Mantra: DO NOT LET ANYTHING TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROVEGATE/DSM SCANDAL!!! Thank God I remained fixated on Rove and didn’t pay attention at all to Petra’s Hooters.]


This goes way beyond party or ideology... this is about our country, and the criminals currently in charge. Please, please, please continue to concentrate on bringing these criminals down and restoring sanity to our republic.


[Please please please please please please maintain our absurd fixation on Karl Rove so I can restore sanity to myself.]


man f*ck hillary I bet she did it on purpose. Not matter what that stupid cow says I'll still push for the truth on Rove and the DSM.


[No man has…except for once.]


Solidarity! Don't take your eye off the prize.


[Obsessive fixation FOREVER!!!]


This is the most critical issue alive! Do NOT LET IT DIE!


[I will obsess over Karl Rove unto the end of days.]


What did Hillary say that was of such magnitude?


[“Um, well…you know…video games…pander pander…you know…hee-hee! Cackle! You know…”]


Hasn't Changed My Focus. And I don't think it's knocked the Rovian stuff off, either. There really hasn't been anything new or a "bombshell" in a few days. Some are also getting antsy...expecting the walls to start falling right now. We've got a long, hard and dirty fight ahead. My hopes are that Fitzgerald not only has the goods, but the stones to see this investigation to its proper conclusion. If this happens and results in reigning in the abuses and arrogance of this regime and the corporate media, I could care less about anything else.


[Rove…Rove…ROVE!!! Rove 24/7. PLEASE DON’T TAKE OUR ROVE FROM US OR I’LL DIIIIEEEEEE!!!!]


Focus folks, we need to Focus....Rovegate is where the action is. To be distracted now would be a fatal mistake. Keep hammering your local MSM with letters, notices of other papers stories, etc. Let the Media Frenzy grow! Feed it however you can. It is Watergate all over again, make the media salivate for every morsel. If we don't take down these monsters now, we never will...


[Obsess folks, we need to OBSESS!!!]


This Regime is the most rotten in the History of Amerika. We must keep working on how to cut this cancer out because there is no cure otherwise. As more malignancy occurs we will push to excise it.


[Don’t worry. This “Regime” will be gone…on Jan. 20, 2009.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-27-05 ("Spooked by a long-time liberal acquaintance of mine")


Gee! What happened to the Rove “scandal?” Come to think of it what ever happened to the DSM, Jeff Gannon, and a host of other “scandals” there were SURE to bring down the Bush Administration? Some DUmmies are still under the delusion that the EVIL Bush Regime will be overthrown but some of the more realistic ones are now facing the “horrible” thought that ALL is lost for the liberals as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Spooked by a long-time liberal acquaintance of mine.” So let us now watch the DUmmies despair in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, attempting to suppress a large gloat, is in the [brackets]:


Spooked by a long-time liberal acquaintance of mine.


[Susan Estrich?]


I have a dear friend, whom I have known for more than a decade. We met in college in a political science class. I sat in the front row because I was sick of squinting at the blackboard. He sat in the front row because he liked to argue with the professor. He was extremely liberal, enlightened and incredibly intelligent. I found myself sparking discussions with him after class and we would often go for coffee to extend the conversation. He was a wellspring of knowledge. I would inquire about ANY history/political-science topic (The Battle of the Bulge, Panama, Bush family history, the logging industry, etc) and he could talk for hours and recommend several excellent books on ANY subject.


[If he talked ceaselessly on any subject without shedding the least amount of light, that would be Pied Piper Pitt.]


He stayed single. I got married, but we remained friends--still discussing politics. About two years ago, he began acting disgusted when we discussed politics. I would end up doing most of the talking! He no longer provided insight and enlightenment. Mostly, he seemed irritated by the political discussion. I almost felt that he was now disinterested in politics. Our conversations became sporadic during the past year. We'd speak maybe once every two months. The other day, I called him and I started ranting about BushCo and he said, "Look. It's over. This country is gone. There's no use sitting around bitching about all of this anymore--because America is gone. The only thing you can do is live your life, lie low and don't make waves. Got it?"


[Lie low in the basement of your parents’ home like the rest of the DUmmies.]


I was stunned, "Oh, so we sit around and allow fascism to take hold? That's not what America is about. We need to fight."

He replied, "You're right. That's not what AMERICA is about, but this isn't America anymore. The neocons have infiltrated power into every crevice of this country. They neutered the Dems with blackmail or threats or something. It's over. Just keep yourself safe, live out your daily life and yes--keep quiet. Certainly, you don't want to be pegged as a 'protester' or an enemy of this administration."


[And look humbly at the ground whenever the Gestapo trucks pass you by.]


This guy was always light years ahead of everyone it seemed. My intuition tells me that he still is. What has happened to him? Has he given up or does he understand--better than I do--that America and our democracy is in critical condition? I have to say that that my friend's words--together with the actions of our government--has left me with an extremely chilled feeling. I feel as if we're all unsuspecting island inhabitants--who are about to be hit by a tsunami. It feels as if something big is rolling toward us and that disaster is on the horizon. I'm sorry if that's dramatic, but it's how I feel right now.


[More comedic than dramatic, DUmmie TwoSparkles, but let us now allow your fellow DUmmies to chime in…]


i tend to agree with him


[It’s OVER for you, DUmmies. Time to crawl into your caves and wait out the LONG Rightwing Ice Age.]


How quickly will enough people learn that a 'critical mass' of public activism is precipitated? Personally, I don't think it'll be quick enough... not for me and not for anyone currently alive. The next generation will be born into fascism, be educated in fascism, and will become "good corporate soldiers." Hell, it's already happening.


[It all started with the Reagan Youth Camps. The indoctrination has gone too far to be stopped.[


If we dwell on the negative it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Thoughts are things and you can actually create your own misery by giving it power through your fears.

[Visualize your own misery.]


We have just begun the fight. It's only been a little under two years that liberal radio has gained popularity. We need to make more inroads in television but that'll take some time.


[You might want to check Err America’s ratings before making that statement. Those ratings were most recently seen going down the toilet.]


I believe in the power of the Universe or a powerful deity such as God.


[Make up your mind which.]


Even if we take the easy way out - dive down and get air after the wave passes, hope will not dim, potential will not lessen. Even if the next generation grows up in fascism, the inevitable fall of this horrible system will come, and the always-present chance for the better will be realized.


[One should always hold out the hope for the eventual success of Bolshevism.]


Okay, electing a few good people to Congress won't make a difference. In all probability, even if we could, defeating Roberts won't make a difference. I can think of no one thing, and in fact no combination of things, that will sufficiently change things. THEY ALREADY CONTROL EVERYTHING, or at least everything that's necessary for them to get enough of their way to be perfectly happy, most of the time, and continue to amass power and wealth, and continue with their plan of dominating the world. THEY ALREAYD HAVE EVERYTHING they need for martial law, suppression of ALL dissent, etc., etc., etc. all in place. From the executive orders to the laws, to the courts, etc.


[There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.]


i would move to Barbados in a heartbeat if I had the money.


[If I gave you the money, would you move to Pyonyang?]


Couldn't sleep last night and was up and watched a thoroughly scary documentary on secret societies: Bilderburg, Illuminati, Skull and Bones, and several others. One part pointed out how the chimp has gotten so far basically being dumb as dirt. He has really never worked a day in his life. Everything he touches, he drives into the ground, now even the country. Time after time he was set up by the rich and powerful though he is completely incompetent. (Who else would get into Yale and Harvard with barely a C average in HS?) At the end, one of the researchers said, the way things are going now, within 5 or 10 years, we will be living under a gestapo-type regime. Could the Patriot Act be just the beginning?


[If you remain in the fetal position while sucking your thumb we just might overlook you during the next General Roundup.]


You just don't want to get the attention of the GESTAPO if you can help it.


[Remember my advice about maintaining the fetal position while sucking your thumb.]


If the first settlers can get through the Salem "witch" trials we can get through anything.


[There is NO escape from the Perfect Rovian Storm.]


I cannot comprehend what it is we would do to change things as they are shaping up to be. when I do contemplate it I want to gather my chicks and run to some safe haven.


[The caves in the Antarctic mountains are still considered to be safe havens.]


Many, many years ago in high school, we were required to study communism, supposedly a very real threat to our survival. It wasn't that at all. The rot and decomposition has come from inside.



[Ah! Communism! Such a benign system which unfortunately now only exists in a few Workers Paradise outposts such as North Korea and Cuba.]


I underestand! I will not go silently into that dark night. They are gonna hafta pry my gun from my cold, dead fist! I will fight the Faschists to the death!


[DING! DING! DING! I believe we have a Drama Queen of the Week winner here!]


You should see how the "insurgents" are doing in Iraq and they are using some rudimentary techniques. I suppose it all depends on your personality, but I certainly hope there are more people willing to make an effort *ahem* should it come to that.


[DUmmies bonding with the Iraqi “insurgents.” It makes one’s heart glow.]


I'll lie low and hold my tongue when I'm dead. I have nothing to lose anymore but my family and friends.


[And don’t forget about maintaining the fetal position, with thumb firmly placed in mouth.]


It is a big force we face, but don't forget your physics. And just look up at the stars to see that what appears to be chaos, there is a tremendous order that allows all things to exist. This is the greater force. Either join it willingly or you'll be turned over for compost. We who believe in collective responsibility really do have the upper hand because we have the force of nature's Holy YES to Life pushing us forward. Make it happen by keeping your ideas out there. Keep speaking out against the evil, keep calling a spade a spade. There are many who need only a nudge to awaken out of their stupor, some need the security of groups of people, and others must be shaken hard. It only takes a few people to get things moving. AND IT'S ON THE MOVE ALREADY. It's here!!! Join it, don't hang on the fence. This is global, not just an American thing.


[One World Government---HERE WE COME!!!]


Winter is coming…

Do not be fooled….this election was a referendum on evil. And a majority of Americans have chosen in favor of it. Electing Bush means a victory for war. A victory for torture. A victory for the slaughter of innocents, a victory for intolerance, fear, and hatred. A victory for lies and half-truths. A trumping of good by arrogance, hubris and self-entitlement.Winning the day has been fear and arrogance. Homophobics have throttled democracy to remain comfortable in their bigoted skins.

Winter is coming…

Do not be surprised. Now there is not even the fetter of re-election hopes to temper Bush and his cronies. They are free to commit crimes against the Geneva Convetion, against the international community, against those who dissent, against the American people….and the republican congress will dissolve any present investigations into outings of CIA agents, of Halliburton sweetheart deals, of Abu Ghraib hierarchy, of falsified intelligence, of incompetence at the highest levels. All will evaporate. Those who sought to hold the administration’s feet to the fire will find themselves shutout, harassed and shut down. The loudest voices will be stilled. The most persistent critics will be disappeared.

Winter is coming…

Do not be complicit. Whatever it takes, whatever you must sacrifice, do not contribute or assent to the coming soldiers of fascism. Do not agree with the disappearing of journalists, do not remain silent when protestors are shot and killed by police. Do not turn the channel when the authorities celebrate another protesor eliminated. Watch. Remember. We must always remember.

Winter is coming…

Do not agree to be the food for their war. Do not easily give in to the bloodlust for innocents. Do not buy into the lie of patriotism to further the goals of Corporate Greed. Remember that first you are Americans. Remember that first you are defenders of freedom, You are not accountants that dole out tiny portions of freedom according to your own stingy budget. When in the mouth of war, remember that you are human. When in the belly of the beast, remember that God made you to live. Survive. Return to us, whole or broken, but return to us and teach us of the folly of war from the tears in your eyes, from the scars of your wounds, from the breaking of your heart.

Winter is coming…

Do not let worship of the administration pass your lips. Do not pretend to agree with insane policies to keep peace with others. Do not agree to the descending march of loss liberty. Do not go silent when you are taken. Do not be afraid to speak for others like you. Do not be afraid to wall up your houses and make hiding places. Do not fear to face evil, whose power derives from darkness. Shine a light instead and shove it in the face of evil. Expose it for what it is.

Winter is coming…

Time to prepare. Time to split the wood. Time to can the food. Time to insulate the shelters. Time to count what you hold dear and keep it close to you. Time to wear stronger coverings. Time to be like the snow fox and blend in when necessary. Your duty is to survive. This evil hopes to eliminate the sane. Do not be in the places they look. But always be looking for places they gather. Become agile. Become wary. Become cautious. Be resolved that your own survival is worth more than their defeat.

Winter is coming…

And the times will be hard. But we need you to survive. Even if the antichrist should fool the elect, be not likewise deceived. God is not mocked, whatsoever you sow, that shall you also reap. Sow goodness, sow resolve, sow strength,. Winter is coming, but in the spring, that which you’ve sown will arise. May God Bless America, in spite of itself. May God protect the rest of the world from what American has become.


[You forgot to finish off with your overly melodramatic “Winter is coming” shtick, DUmmie Lerkfish.]


275 million people can win over the evil murderous terrorists that have taken over our country.


[How about over the REAL terrorists?]


And your friend has been to jail how many times? Beaten by secret police when? Sent to which internment camp? Or has he granted himself the pure luxury of a total collapse based on nothing more than theories of what is happening in a hundred hidden places?


[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]


upon a little reflection, this may be the single most important thread that we've had in a long time . . .

[Definitely the FUnniest in a long time.]


I believe that the current PNAC type folks are simply greedy, selfish, misguided folks with a poor appreciation for history, sociology, and economics; I believe that they've forged an opportunistic union with right wing evangelicals; I believe that first-past the post elections devolve into a two party system; I believe that a two party system favors the status quo, and incumbent representatives; I believe incumbent representatives favor the status quo, to the point that the difference between the two parties is infintesimal, and largely cosmetic; I beleive that freedom isn't just an inalienable right, but rather seeking freedom is a natural human instinct; I believe that the Universe tends to unfold as it should. F*ck these guys. They can't be everywhere. The worse it gets, the easier it is for us to recruit. I know die hard republicans who have left the party. I know people who worked for the Heritage Foundation who have left for greener pastures. Drip, whatever. Bush I was defeated in office. They're not infallable. Don't give them more credit than they deserve; treat them like the threat to freedom that they are, no more, no less.


[I BEEELEEEVE it is time for your Lithium treatment.]


The thing that scares me the most though, is the fact that all bets are off if there is another large-scale terrorist attack here in the U.S. The "conspiracy theorist" in me feels that a perfectly-timed LIHOP or MIHOP terrorist attack would be all the Fascists would need to completely takeover. I just pray that it doesn't happen.


[Paging DUmmie Skinner! Paging DUmmie Skinner! I thought you BANNED all talk of LIHOP or MIHOP.]


In England, when the ruling elites got too high and mighty, along comes Oliver Cromwell, and goodbye to the head of Charles I. The same with France, the response to "let them eat cake" was the guillotine. Same with Czar Nicholas II. Same with Ceaucescu in Romania, just a few short years ago. What I'm getting at is every people have their breaking point where they just say enough. When that day comes, it will truly suck to be a Republican.


[Congrats, DUmmie martymar64, for placing yourself on the Secret Service Watch List.]


To be blunt, 9-11 is a fascist's dream come true. It united us against a common enemy and allowed the government to infringe on our civil liberties under the guise of "protecting" us. It squelched dissent by labeling dissenters as traitors and "soft on terrorism." And who wants to be soft? Certainly, not your Congressman who might be up for re-election. So for the past almost 4 years the B*** Admin has whipped out the 9-11 card whenever they want something. It's their ace. And with it they've silenced our collective voice and diminished our civil liberties.


[Thank you for presenting the DUmmie perspective on 9-11.]


I know that we are right where Germany was in the 1930s and I know that we may not be able to save America, but I will not stop fighting. It's important to fight no matter what the outcome might be. As an aside, I think your friend is soul-sick. Goodness knows, this slow steady decline into fascism can do it to any of us. In more psychobabble terms, I think he is depressed.


[And in non-psychobabble terms, I think he is nuts.]


He's right. But I'm still gonna piss in their cornflakes when I can. The big thing when in a lawful evil country (we aren't in full blown chaos, still governed by authority and law) is make sure you don't get caught. And for strict originalists, there's nothing in the constitution that explicitly states that I cannot piss in the cornflakes of someone I don't like.


[Wrong! Article 6 of the 27th Amendment explicitly prohibits pissing in cornflakes.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-25-05 ("the world thinks Bush a lying war criminal and at least half of the US")


Only thing that drives the DUmmies NUTS more than seeing Ronald Reagan Turnpikes or the Ronald Reagan Airport is just watching the news and seeing a PRESIDENT George W. Bush. It just drives them up the wall. They STILL have not recuperated for the results of the last election as you can see in this DUmmieTHREAD titled, “the world thinks Bush a lying war criminal and at least half of the US thinks so too.” So now let us look again at yet ANOTHER DUmmie Bush Bash in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, chronicling the continuing DUmmie Descent into the Heart of Madness, is in the [brackets]:


the world thinks Bush a lying war criminal and at least half of the US thinks so too.


[Plus 100% of DUmmieland, not counting the LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS.]


how does he get away with it?


[Masterful strategy by Karl Rover is the answer.]


Well, what the hell are we waiting for? Impeach the ratbastard! Now!


[Um…you might be waiting for a Democrat Congress which WON’T be happening in your lifetime.]


You need a majority to impeach. We lack that.


[DUhhhhhmmmies!]


Damn. That's what I thought.


[Ooops!]


that shouldn't stop people from screaming it from the rooftops if I see a murder, I'm gonna yell "murder".


[I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!]


If the Democrat's tried to impeach him now, they'd look like asses. They would not win, and several senators who understand politics would actually vote against the procedings, because they would not want to get caught in that mess.


[And if they don’t try to impeach him, they still look like asses. It’s a lose-lose situation.]


I don't care about them. We the people have every right and even a duty to be SCREAMING for impeachment! It is OUR government, not theirs.


[Try some Political Primal Scream Therapy.]


This is not about f*cking politics anymore. This is about the honor, integrity and most importantly, the well-being of our beloved country. These evil, maniacal madmen have taken over our government and are trying to destroy the very fabric of our Republic. These imposters have an agenda and patriotism isn't on it. I'm scared as hell right now but I won't cower to these ratbastards. They have unlawfully occupied OUR HOUSE. This is our Country, damnit! America is our home. It is our responsibility to protect and defend it in times of crisis. So...Let's start screaming!!!!!


[Yes. Let’s start screaming!!!!! “DAMN THOSE FREE ELECTIONS FOR ALLOWING CONSERVATIVES TO TAKE OVER!!!”]


The facts are in, folks. Bush is hated. Even in Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands, he's hated. That's why his mouth droops so much. He knows.


[The penguins and the Galapagos tortoises all HATE Bush.]


He gets away with it because. The Republicans control Congress and wouldn't allow a hearing even if the evidence were rock solid. Let's hope for good results in next year's congressional elections!

DUmmie FUnnies 07-22-05 ("The Reagan Legacy?")


Early in the AM tomorrow I will be driving on the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. Many of you may not know this but that is the OFFICIAL name of the Florida Turnpike. Every few miles you will see a sign identifying it as the Ronald Reagan Turnpike and it gives me a warm feeling inside knowing that it drives liberals absolutely NUTS when they see those signs. That is also why the liberals fought so desperately against renaming the Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Airport. All those DC liberal politicos just could not stand the idea of constantly being reminded of the smiling face of the Gipper who so easily defeated their plans again and again. Oh yes, today the “professional” liberals like to PRETEND that while they may not have agreed with Ronald Reagan, they really did respect him. BULL!!! The fact is liberals can’t stand the idea that Reagan actually is loved and respected by the general public as evidenced by the great outpouring of people last year who attended Reagan’s funeral. And as evidence of the TRUE feelings of liberals towards Reagan, one need only read this DUmmie THREAD titled, “The Reagan Legacy?” As usual the DUmmie hatred of Ronald Reagan is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, winning another one for The Gipper, is in the [brackets]:


The Reagan Legacy?


[The PERMANENT loss of liberal ideology in the public arena of ideas.]


On occasion, I have to drive to the store at night to fulfill a mik requirement for my seventeen month old daughter. During those trips, I flip the radio to hear the conservative tool that gets the shit job of speaking in the evening. Then, I heard a flash of lightning and a disembodied voice saying: "This is the Voice of Reason" and "The Legacy continues with. . . Mike Reagan." If I am not mistaken, that legacy would be a lecherous individual, who may or may not have bordered on bigamy, and a sellout in the 1970s so that he could be a tool and get the presidency. Of course, Mike Reagan and all his guest say that Reagan was such a great president, but I think he was a great actor who could play a great president. I wonder, if we as a group all together, called Reagan's show every night and all spoke our similiar views of this "wonderful" legacy, what would happen? I mean. . . if the tactics work for them by standing up and screaming over and over again, then it becomes truth. Well, sometimes, if we present the truth and scream it loud enough and with enough facts, maybe it'll do something or maybe I'm just hopeful.


[If we crybaby loud enough, maybe we can make the Reagan Legacy go away! WAAAAHHHH!!!!!]


He was a filthy, stupid criminal. Iran/Contra sealed his fate. And they can name all the f*cking turnpikes in America after him, and he'll always be a filthy, stupid criminal.


[This DUmmie might be living in Florida, one of several states with a Ronald Reagan Turnpike. It’s going to make me feel that much better tomorrow driving on the Ronald Reagan Turnpike knowing this DUmmie is going NUTS whenever he sees the signs identifying the name of the turnpike.]


Its never been about facts. people are too lazy and stupid to appreciate facts, its about catchy phrases and framing the adversary with a catchy, but degrading title. then the repetition starts to work.


[The DUmmie Epitaph: “It’s never been about the facts.”]


The Reagan legacy is one of hate. Ronald Reagan taught an entire generation of young Americans to hate. To hate their political opponents. To hate those that they disagree with. To blame others for problems, and then to direct hate towards them. What an evil f*ck he was. Rest in hell evil demon.


[There you go again! When Reagan debated Carter in 1980, he won solidly because the public was able to see what a nice guy Reagan was in stark contrast to the way he was portrayed in the media. The guy who was filled with hate was Jimmuh. He was probably angry at himself for being suckered into debating Reagan.]


What do the "communist" actors in the 1950's. That are still with us think of his legacy? This man was poison in a package of sugar.


[Communist actors probably did not like Reagan. And that’s a bad thing?]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-21-05 (Roberts Slammed For Being "the whitest white-man. EVER.")


I’ve read many silly DUmmie attacks on Supreme Court Justice nominee John Roberts for the past couple of days including rants about the way his kids are dressed to the fact that his young son danced while Bush made the announcement so I thought nothing could be more ridiculous. I was WRONG for underestimating the DUmmies because in this THREAD titled, “Another big reason to oppose Roberts,” he was slammed for “the whitest white-man. EVER.” I have actually run a scan on Roberts and this is not true because I discovered that while in college, Roberts, used wheat bread for his mayonnaise sandwich so this disqualifies him as being for “the whitest white-man. EVER.” As usual the DUmmie eugenics “experts” rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, waiting to be entertained by yet more ridiculous DUmmie reasons for Roberts not to be confirmed, is in the [brackets]:


Another big reason to oppose Roberts. The RNC thinks he's "outstanding." …Heads up, DU Activist Corps members - we'll have some new tasks soon.



[Send out the DUmmie DUcks quacking. “DUAC! DUAC!” Spread the word! If the RNC thinks Roberts is outstanding then there MUST be something wrong with him. DUAC! DUAC!]


not to mention he's the whitest white-man. EVER. nice to see the GOP rolling back the trend of making the SCOTUS a bit more reflective of the US population....


[Wrong. Ned Flanders is the whitest white-man. EVER.]


I wish more people would think before they attack.


[If DUmmies think before they attack, the DUmmie FUnnies would lose most of its material. As it is, the attack on Roberts for being “the whitest white-man. EVER,” is a comedic gem.]


Another LEAK says that Roberts was picked to try and distract the country from the other LEAKS...


[I’ll ponder that assertion while I take a LEAK.]


I knew it! SOB'S! Un-Fricked-Believable, though - you know. What's with other's out here. Don't the see this distraction for what it's really worth. KKKRove is certainly good at being bad.


[It was all planned by Karl Rove. Nominate “the whitest white-man. EVER,” to the Supreme Court to cause a distraction from himself.]


As the mother of an 18 year old female. I anxiously await new task directives. Roberts is a danger to my kid's future and I will not take his nomination sitting down. Bring the tasks on!


[Check your DUmmie Secret Decoder Ring for your secret DUAC task directives. If your Secret Decoder Ring is not operating then go to the Automat to meet with a DUmmie Secret Agent who will covertly hand you your secret tasks in a slip of paper inside your Key Lime pie. DUAC! DUAC!]


I just got done calling both my Senators asking them to block this terrible nomination.


[“PLEASE shoot down the nomination to the Supreme Court of the whitest white-man. EVER.”]


Since when has the RNC not lavishly praised anything bush does? They'd say the same thing if Bush nominated a laundry bag full of sweaty jockstraps.


[And according to John Kerry, he has a bag full of EXTRA-LARGE jockstraps. Got that? EXTRA-LARGE!!!]


I think it is indeed time for another DU Activist Group action.


[“DUAC! DUAC!” they quacked.]


Isn't he mild as far as what Bush would likely do?


[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]


Squeaky clean with little record
Pro Corporate
Anti choice
Federalist Society
Well spoken but not Borkishly arrogant
Young


[Squeaky clean, you say? DISS-GUSSTING!!!]


James Dobson loves Roberts...Spongedob Stickypants thinks Roberts is swell... If he likes him, Roberts for sure is a commited f*cking nutbag. Don't listen to anybody try to spin Roberts as a Moderate.


[Instead listen to the DUmmies who are trying to spin Roberts as “the whitest white-man. EVER.”]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-20-05 ("Of course I would like Dems to fight Roberts' Nomination. However...")


One big fringe benefit of the Karl Rove “scandal” is that it will make the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court go MUCH MORE smoothly. Why? Because the DUmmies (and their Democrat cohorts) are figuring that a big battle over the Roberts nomination would divert attention away from ultimately seeing Rove being frog-walked into a waiting police van. That is the RIDICULOUS premise of this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Of course I would like Dems to fight Roberts' Nomination. However...” So for conservatives it is a Win-Win situation. The Roberts nomination goes much more smoothly than expected while Karl Rove continues to rule from the center of the Perfect Rovian Storm for the “very strange” reason that he broke no laws. DUmmies have themselves so deluded that they think it is somehow a violation of the law to reveal the name of a CIA employee. That is true but only if such an employee were covert which Valerie Plame was NOT for at least 7 years, probably longer. Of course that won’t stop the DUmmies in their delusions. I am still chuckling over how they thought Jeff Gannon would be ARRESTED because they thought he was gay. Somehow it never occurred to them that being gay is not a crime. If it were, women’s hair all around the country would be looking like crap because of the lack of hairdressers. As usual, the Get-Rove-At-Any-Cost DUmmie obsessions are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hoping that the DUmmies CONTINUE to obsess over Rove so Bush can easily get 4 or 5 more conservative Supreme Court Justices on the bench, is in the [brackets]:


Of course I would like Dems to fight Roberts' Nomination. However...


[Standby! Standby! DUmmie Delusion about to follow…]


...there are some consequences to consider if the dems filibuster this guy as he now stands. They could be regarded as obstructionists by the American public, which could hurt their chances in '06. A lengthly confirmation battle could also serve as a diversion from the Rove scandal, no doubt what Rove wants to happen. He could even be planning to leak fake dirt about Roberts to the press as we speak, ala CBS memogate. Fighting is not without consequences in politics, and I think most DU'ers realize that. A filibuster could very well backfire, just as it could succeed.


[WOW! This DUmmie thinks Rove will leak FAKE dirt about Roberts to the press so as to divert attention from himself? Let us read more of this comedic entertainment from DUmmie oxbow…]


I also tend to think that Roberts is fairly clean if Rove chose to out him as the nominee over 5 weeks before the confirmation hearings even begin. Surely he did not expect this story to eclipse his own troubles without something juicier for us to bite into?


[Huh! So if Rove made the choice a couple of weeks ago he would purposely have chosen a sleazebag just to divert attention from himself? Continue with the standup routine, DUmmie oxbow…]


We all know that Rove has been cornered, and that he is dangerous. Be prepared for some kind of dirty trick(s) between now and the confirmation date.


[Maybe Rove will declare that he really meant to nominate John Roberts of CBS News and that this John Roberts was chosen by mistake. BTW, WEHT the CBS News John Roberts? He was supposed to be the successor to Dan Rather and has now pretty much disappeared from the scene. Maybe CBS News figured that the glowering demeanor of their John Roberts was a ratings killer.]


The public doesn't realize he's against Roe v Wade, civil rights or environmental protections.


[Yeah. John Roberts was standing at the door with George Wallace blocking the entry of a black student to the University of Alabama. True he was only about 8 years old at the time but Roberts was already practicing law.]


Which is it? Your thread title says that you want the Dems to fight, but the body of your posts says everything BUT that. So which is it? Do you want to Dems to fight or roll over? Me, I think they should fight. I think the American public is sick of spineless Democrats and wants a fight from the opposition side.


[No, no. They should roll over. After all, do you want to divert attention from jailing Rove for a crime that he did not commit?]


Honestly, I'm not sure yet, and I think that's because. I don't know what Rove is trying to accomplish by putting THIS nominee out at THIS time. Let's say I'm suspicious of the whole thing. Things are often not as they seem when it comes to turd blossom, and I would rather overestimate him then fall for something. Make no mistake, when the time comes, I plan to fight tooth and nail. However, I am going to take some time to think and research before then on what all this means.


[I love this! The DUmmies are FROZEN in indecision because they fear being outflanked by imaginary tactical maneuvers by the wily Karl Rove. Of course, it never seems to occur to them that Karl Rove probably had little or NO input as to who the Supreme Court choice would be.]


There is no real downside to blocking this asshole. Even if they can't stop him, forcing the GOP to do their stupid nuclear thing will make them look bad. If we do block this guy, the second nominee would be someone more reasonable as is always the case, and by then, Karl might be jail.


[If you try to block Roberts then Karl Rove would go scot free. However, if you don’t block Roberts then Rove would also go scot free. I know this is a strange legal concept for the DUmmies to understand but you don’t get arrested for a crime that hasn’t been committed. BTW, even liberals such as Andrea Mitchell admit that no crime was committed but suggest that Karl Rove should resign. For what reason, I don’t know.]


why would Roberts be a distraction? Rove is a subject in a grand jury investigation. Why is it a given that we can't focus on more than one issue at a time? Is it our remote control culture? I don't think so. It's the Right Wing desire. They give us no credit for brains.


[You are correct on that latter assertion.]


Sure, rove belongs in prison
but this other guy is going to have the ability to be f*cking up my daughter's life until she's in her 50's!
HELLO???? What is the priority here?


[GET ROVE!!! GET ROVE!!! GET ROVE!!! That DUmmie priority has precedence over all others in DUmmieland. If it is a choice between capturing Osama Bin Laden or getting Karl Rove, the priority has to be GET ROVE!!!]


He's your typical Bush nominee ...against civil rights, disabilities, also voted against our vets who sued Iraq for the First Gulf war. He's been ready to over turn Roe, and on top of that he's a lobbyist who cost the US big money. He's absolutely horrid - but I'm also not sure that he's not a Red Herring. Just out to keep the media busy while we fight.


[Didn’t Roberts also slap a Muppet in the face?]


Why can't we oppose him...
AND continue to slam rove. Just because bush cannot do 2 things at once, such as ride a bike and have a thought, does not mean the Dems suffer from this same ailment.


[Thank you for confirming what the Democrats in the public eye don’t want to admit. Your whole purpose is to SLAM Rove. Forget about any kind of fair investigation. You must SLAM Rove. For your honesty, you win a Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny’s. If they have a TV set there you can watch the Roberts nomination sail through the Senate past the usual drunken grumblings of Ted Kennedy.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-19-05 ("If plamegate fizzles................"


I once knew a guy named Henry who worked at the U.S. Department of Labor. Guess what? Karl Rove no more committed a crime than I just did by revealing that Henry was a Labor Dept. employee. The BIG FACT that is just now starting to seep in with the Liberals is that it is NOT a crime to mention that someone is a CIA employee if that person has not been covert for at least 5 years. If any of you have ever lived in the D.C. area, you will meet people all the time who will flat out tell you that they work for the CIA. The reason is because they are NOT covert so such information may be divulged. Oh, as to the charge that Rove had a grand strategy to discredit Joe Wilson by revealing his wife was the CIA employee who suggested he be sent to Niger, it turns out that it was Robert Novak who told Rove this information. Also Rove mentioned this fact off-the-cuff in the tail end of an interview with Matt Cooper who was discussing another matter with Rove. So now even most liberals realize there was no crime even though many, such as Andrea Mitchell, chant the mantra that “Karl Rove may technically NOT have committed a crime BUT…” But what? And now the DUmmies are becoming worried that their Rove “crime” is just another in a series of liberal fantasy mirages as you can see in this THREAD titled, “If plamegate fizzles................” As usual the DUmmie rants, preparing for disappointment, are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, preparing to enter the Perfect Rovian Storm, is in the [brackets]:


If plamegate fizzles................


[If? Try WHEN.]


We don't live in America anymore.


[One of the FUN things about “plamegate” fizzling will be watching the mental meltdown of the DUmmies… Until they latch on to the next “scandal” to get at the EVIL Bush Regime.]


What drive me nuts..is we are going to have to wait as late as october before we hear anything new.


[What will drive you nuts is that you will have to wait until October 2009 to wake up from your dazed disappointment.]


So do we begin pushing the DSM again?


[And if that doesn’t work, start pushing the Jeff Gannon “scandal” again.]


plamegate = DSM


[plamegate = DSM = Gannongate]


To us it does...but even with all the reports in the news about Rove, I don't hear anyone talking about impeaching Shrub. I think with the DSM, we had that.


[Those were the Days my Friend,
We thought they would never End.]


October is when the grand jury investigation ends. On the 16th, I believe.


[October 16…A day in which nothing would ever be the same again. Pass this message along to Pied Piper Pitt.]


it won't fizzle. Unfortunately for them, all the talk radio and all the talking points and all the spin in the world probably won't mean a damn to a prosecutor, who, even though Repub, is probably in the 71% who don't like this sort of thing and no doubt is ambitious.


[For this not to fizzle would mean that the prosecutor would have to totally ignore the law that says it is NOT a crime to mention the name of a CIA employee who is NOT covert.]


If It Fails...I am one in the million man march with a rifle!


[Soon to be discounted down to the 50 DUmmie March.]


The Plame outing and DSM will be drowned...out soon. With no new revalations the Corp Media will move on to another story to grab their viewers and readers.


[I’m looking for a great story soon about Katie Holmes splitting from Tom Cruise when she realizes that he plans to maintain the purity of his tool AFTER their wedding as well.]


Who is stopping Dean, Kerry, Hillary from continuing to speak up on it?


[Good news! Yesterday Barney “My Boy Lollipop” suggested on Hardball that Karl Rove be impeached. For what crime, I haven’t the foggiest idea.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-18-05 ("Tell me your fantasy...")


We all know that the denizens of DUmmieland live in a Land of Fantasy. So Bush wins the election? Not to worry because I BEEEELEEEVE John Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan. 20. Ooops! The Evil Bush was inaugurated on Jan. 20? No problem because the Jeff Gannon “scandal” is SURE to bring DOWN the evil Bush regime. Ooops! Jeff Gannon has been completely forgotten? Thank goodness for the DSM which came to light on June 16, a “day in which nothing will ever be the same again.” DAMN! Nothing happened on DSM after June 16 despite the breathless promises by Pied Piper Pitt? Okay, let’s impeach Karl Rove even though he committed NO CRIME and he isn’t even subject to impeachment. This latter fantasy was suggested just a few minutes ago by none other than Barney “My Boy Lollipop” Frank. Yeah, he of the same crowd who proclaimed that a president couldn’t be impeached for perjury that is now pushing the bizarre notion that an aide can be IMPEACHED for NOT committing a crime. However, should all these fantasies really surprise us? After all wacko fantasies are the bread and butter of Dummieland as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Tell me your fantasy...” As usual the sanity-challenged DUmmie fantasies are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, taking yet another trip into Fantasyland, is in the [brackets]:


Tell me your fantasy...


[Petra Verkaik is in town and gives me a call. She asks me to see her in her room at the Hilton. I enter her room and she is wearing the flimsiest of red nightgowns. She pulls on a string and it falls to the floor. Her arms open wide exposing her massive mellons while her hips wave a happy hello. I prepare to reply in a most friendly way and…]


your political fantasy.


[DAMN!!! And I was just getting into the mood!]


Mine is that the Dems retake the House in 2006, Bush-Cheney et. al. are impeached, booted from office, and sent to prison.


[Guess what? My Petra Verkaik fantasy is still much more BELIEVABLE than your political fantasy.]


Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House becomes president.


[My fantasy is that Nancy Pelosi defrosts her frozen smile. Right now she looks like the sister of The Joker.]


What's yours?


[I already told you my fantasy but it doesn’t fall into the category of political.]


We get all these election reforms in place and slowly rebuild our country and its image in the world.


[We get all these election reforms in place and, as a result, the current governor of Washington is REMOVED from office.]


Some several years in the future, there is some major national event. Or maybe an event in another country. All the old ex-presidents are there. They pan across the crowd. Carter, Bush Sr, Clinton, an empty chair, and the current president. W can't attend because his jail term hasn't run out yet.


[Clinton also can’t attend because Juanita Broadderick testified against him.]


Dem's Re-Take Both House And Senate. Thus making Georgie Boy whine like a stuck pig. Then the impeachment hearings start. John Conyers fulfilling the Peter Rodino role as House Judiciary Chair.


[It’s sure going to be FUN right after Election Day 2006 watching the DUmmies whine like stuck pigs when the Democrats LOSE even MORE House and Senate seats.]


Watergate redux. Only this time there's no pardon. Bush, Cheney, Rove all go to the big house. My specific fantasy involves turning on my teevee some evening and seeing those clowns doing the perp walk, escorted into some courthouse by federal marshals.


[Is that YOU, Joe Wilson?]


That we get this mess straightened out and can get back to our lives.
Until then, I feel like heaviness hanging over absolutely every aspect of life in America. I want it to go away. I want this administration to go down in flames and not get off the hook. Full jail terms for all involved - including corporations (Halliburton, etc.) and liquidation of their assets with the totals going back into the social security trust fund. Fix everything they broke. And then change the laws with failsafe amendments so no one can ever corporatize or monopolize America again.


[I believe your fantasy is known as “Bolshevism.”]


A Wellstone/Feingold ticket beats Bush/Cheney '04. And takes back the House and Senate.


[And incredible fantasy that not only involves resurrection but time travel as well.]


Bushco frog-walked out of the WH in orange jumpsuits. Kerry innaugurated...AT LAST!


[I BEEEELEEEEEVE that happened last Jan. 20.]


Bernie Sanders becomes head Senator, univeral health care is passed (needless to say with Kucinich as President the troops are withdrawn) …Elmination of the Electorial College is proposed and ratified by at least 48 states so that we can have proportional government!


[And don’t forget about the “Elmination” of the states.]


2016 Barack Obama/Brian Schweitzer ticket takes the presidency. And, I am the new Senator from Montana, plus I've already won a Pulitzer and a Best Screenplay Academy Award too.


[Did you win the Pulitzer for writing an article explaining to the public just who the hell Brian Schweitzer is?]


President Pelosi. I like how that sounds! My fantasy is that we win the House and Senate in 06 with big majorities and then in 08 win alot of states with Hillary Clinton as President and a black VP.


[Bill Clinton as our first black VP? Not sure if the public could handle a wife and husband team running the country. Oh wait! They already did!]


I awake from a horrible nightmare.....I've only dreamed the past 4 and 1/2 years. It's really January 20, 2001 and President Gore's inauguration is on the television......


[Tell President Gore to wipe the Krispy Kreme stains from his tux.]


Progressive legislation is passed. Marijuana is legalized, and the War on Drugs is cut. Missile Defense is cancelled. Bush's tax cuts are rolled back for the wealthy. The environmental and corporate regulations that Bush weakened are restored and tightened. Corporations who outsource lose every subsidy they have, and tariffs are slapped on their products. DOMA is repealed, and the state anti gay amendments are ruled unconstitutional. Gay marriage is legalized. Foreign aid is increased. Sensible Homeland Security measures are taken, and Nunn-Lugar is flooded with funding to lock down loose nukes in Russia, and new anti-nuke initiatives are created. Comprehensive sex ed is instituted and pre- and post-natal care are free. Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land, but the abortion rate drops to nearly nil.(This would be my platform if I were running for office). John Paul Stevens retires after a inhuman effort to survive Bush and is replaced by Hillary Clinton. Ginsburg also leaves while the leaving is good, and Generic Progressive Legal Scholar is appointed in her place.


[Crack is sold on the White House lawn, the Rainbow Flag flies over the Capitol, Rosie O’Donnell appointed head of the ATF, Al-Qaeda terrorists are allowed entry into airline cockpits…]


Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, et al., are all sent to the Hague and convicted of war crimes and given life sentences. Rove and whoever the second leaker is (if not one of the Hague crowd) are convicted of high treason and executed. DeLay goes to prison. Jeff Gannon writes a tell all book outing all of the neocons as self-hating gays, reveals himself to be Johnny Gosch and blows the lid off of the neocons' child prostitution ring. The Christian Right recoils in horror and has to eat a lot of self-righteous crow. Megachurches shut down all over the country due to people waking up and seeing them for the brainwashing evil that they are. The truth of the election fraud is finally released and President Kerry is at last sworn in. His first act of office is to end the Iraq war and withdraw all US troops. The owners of Diebold & ES&S, as well as Nathan Sproul, Kenneth Blackwell, Jeb Bush and everyone else associated with the election fraud are tried and convicted. The series of scandals pretty much destroys the Republican Party. Millions defect to the Democratic party and demand an end to corruption and corporate welfare. The Andy Stephenson Voting Rights Protection Act is passed soon thereafter. With voter verified voting and paper ballots in place in all 50 states, the will of the people is once again served, and the 2006 elections result in landslide victories for Democratic candidates in every state. Democrats gain resounding majorities in both houses, and as an added bonus, several red states turn blue. John Conyers is given the Medal of Freedom. Robert Byrd speaks at the ceremony, reading from his beloved Constitution. Rehnquist and O'Connor stay until President Kerry is inaugurated, so he gets to appoint three Supreme Court justices. Campaign reform laws are enacted and the corrupt lobbying structure in Washington collapses. Conservative think tanks close up shop and slink out of town. New laws are passed prohibiting large blocks of media ownership, and the fairness doctrine is reinstated. Fox News loses most of its viewership and sponsors and fades from the public consciousness. Its eventual shutdown is barely noted on page 35 of the Wall Street Journal. Hannity, Coulter and their ilk are all revealed to have been paid shills of the Bush administration and are forced from the journalism profession in disgrace. Limbaugh is sent to prison on drug charges and his show is canceled.


[…America apologizes for existing and surrenders its sovereignty to Pyonyang…]


me looking straight into his eyes. my breasts heaving in anticipation of the excitement... of knowing what is soon to come. Placing my hands on his body, they begin slowly searching. Hearing his simpering moans as my fingers meticulously explore every area. I turn to walk behind him... so close he can feel my hot breath on his neck.....


[Is that YOU, Petra Verkaik?]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-14-05 ("Astrologers: What's in Karl Rove's chart?")


Do you know how you can figure out that the Karl Rove “scandal” is going NOWHERE? Simple. When the DUmmie’s start consulting astrologers to forecast Rove’s fate as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Astrologers: What's in Karl Rove's chart?” I seem to remember the DUmmies rejoicing just before the November election because astrologers were predicting a Kerry win. I’m sure there were also astrological consultations in DUmmieland as to whether Jeff Gannon or the DSM would bring down the EVIL Bush regime. On the latter “scandal” have you noticed how DSM has been COMPLETELY forgotten in DUmmieland despite Pied Piper Pitt’s laughable claim that the DSM rally on June 16 was a day in which (hushed voice) nothing would ever be the same again. So let us now watch the DUmmies conjure up astrological predictions in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, channeling Nostradamus, is in the [brackets]:


Astrologers: What's in Karl Rove's chart?


[DUmmies and Democrats sinking into Neptune’s depths.]


I know Nancy has his chart in her 2003 "Springtime for Bush" section on starlightnews. (Dec. 25, 1950, Denver, CO)


[Karl Rove was born on Christmas Day? Hmmm…]


Will he get off or can we kiss him goodbye?


[He will get off on watching you kiss yourselves goodbye.]


Claudia Dikinis seems to think he's toast. Or so one of her recent posts on Starcats seemed to indicate.


[But what does Jean Dixon think?]


For Asteroid watchers: Nemesis is currently at 5 degrees Cancer -- conjunct the USA's conquering "manifest destiny" Jupiter and "gimme bling-bling" Venus. For Karl Rove (chart) watchers, Nemesis already opposing his progressed "I'm a radical reformer" Uranus and is creeping ever closer to oppose his natal Uranus. Nemesis demands an accounting for arrogance. Uranus is that proverbial reversal of fortune. Rove's Capricorn Sun (3 degrees of the sign) was sorely impacted by the Cancer Solstice and Full Moon of June 20-21, 2005. So was his Chiron at 0 Capricorn. Right there in what we call "solsticial degree." This points to a profound wounding of and to power and authority....


[I agree with everything except the part about Uranus. Actually the Full Moon is rising in Uranus.]


This is a noon chart...anyone have his real birth time?


[Gentlemen…set your astrological chronometers!]


Watching that neptune T-Square..needs just the right placment...throw in a bit of Jeff Gannon and Voila! I think its a hit! Whadya think?


[I think Pluto smacked you on the side of your head.]


Mars transited KKKarl's Uranus oppostion Venus when the news broke earlier this week that he was the leaker. More to come..but it's likely to be lies...and the * administration always releases bad news on Fridays or the weekend so it gets buried. The April 14 eclipse point which was at 19 Aries is transited by Mars on Sunday opposition to 19 Libra which just happens to be KKKarl's Neptune and Part of Fortune. Mars/Neptune combinations are associated with poison and lies. Get ready for an avalanche of poisonous attacks (Sunday news shows) to save KKKarl's arse. Unfortunately Neptune conjunct part of fortune are associated with windfalls of luck.


[Unfortunately the Sun melted your brain.]


Is Carl Rove subjected to psychic attack? Look at his planets of the sub-conscious: Uranus, Pluto, Saturn!!!Should we?! That's a tough question! Frankly, for the negative, I don't want his karma contaminating my body.... On the other hand, To make this man stop creating his bad karma would create goodness in and throughout mankind eventually. Hmmm Hard decision....My Asscroft!


[Such metaphysical questions are beyond me. Why don’t you consult an expert? ---A Hopi Indian witch doctor.]


Possible indictment around July 18. Mercury (news) will conjunct natal Pluto (destruction) in the 1st. Pluto (destruction) will square the natal North Node in the 9th (courts) and the natal South Node (trouble) in the 3rd (news). North Node in the 9th (courts) and South Node (trouble) in the 3rd (news) squares natal Mercury (news). If jail is in his future, it won't come until next April when Neptune (lies) ruling the 9th (courts) opposes his Pluto (destruction) in his 1st. Mars - ruler of his 10th (power) - will be conjuncting Uranus (unexpected) - ruler of the 8th (death) - in the 12th (incarceration)Saturn (loss) will have just crossed his Ascendant.


[So Mars will be conjuncting Uranus? Try not to smile too much when that happens.]


Saturn = time for a change, lol
Uranus = unexpected changes
it may be that it will look like he'll get away with it, and then all of a sudden - bolt of lightening - Uranus.


[You folks just make it too easy. A bolt of lightening in Uranus?]


Saturn = RESPONSIBILITY too!
Leaving the depths of the 12 th house darkness and - literally - coming into the light of day. Warms my heart!


[Boggles my mind!]


I wish -- but with no birthtime, these houses are unlikely to be accurate. Ignoring houses, regretfully, the big thing coming is Saturn opposing natal Mars beginning in September and going on till June 2006. Won't be fun.


[Yeah, without knowing the EXACT time of Rove’s birth, all these astrological charts have no scientific basis… Except for Uranus. There will always be a Full Moon in Uranus.]


Cheney's facing heavy weather

Dick Cheney: Jan. 30, 1941, 7:30 p.m., Lincoln Nebraska. Saturn square Saturn from Sept-June; Saturn oppose Sun, Oct - July; Jupiter oppose Jupiter, then Saturn in November. Remember, Judy Miller and Matt Cooper don't have the same source, and prosecutor Fitzgerald knows who Miller's source is. Cheney???


[Since Cheney’s feet didn’t exit the womb until 7:32 PM, your astrological chart is hogwash.]


Funny thing about houses
Even when you change the birthtime and shift them around, the transiting Players (planets) and their shifted rulerships still manage to point to the same conclusion. Even if we disregarded the houses, planets in the same degree as the moon's nodes indicate a "point of fatality" and with the Tr nodes hitting Rove's natal Mercury and Tr Pluto hitting his natal nodes, this still spells out destructive news and trouble for him especially when Tr Mercury hits his Pluto. I'm still putting my money on the 18th.


[I think Mercury and Pluto hit your cranial nodes a few times too many, DUmmie LunaC (appropriate name).]


Luna, just learned something new! " planets in the same degree as the moon's nodes indicate a "point of fatality" thanks. Is that because of the South Node degree?


[Only in DUmmieland would LunaC have an acolyte.]


Pretty much. The nodes represent karma and it's pretty hard to maneuver around karma. The "point of fatality" has its foundations in horary astrology but I've found the application holds true with basic transit predictions too.


[Just take a sharp left turn at the Mercurial node and that should be enough to maneuver around karma.]


Luna, in Arabic parts there is a part of fatality, but i didn’t know about the Nodes, being called this..yes I agree they are involved with Karma...can you instruct more about the nodes' degree and other planets having the same degree and its meaning? maybe examples? Luna, are you the ghost of Ivy Goldstein Jacobsen ?


[No. LunaC is the fifth reincarnation of Shirley McLaine.]


I like a birthtime around 10:18 a.m. It puts Jupiter in the first (portly man) and Mars in the 12thd, behind the scenes, with this transiting pluto in the 10th squaring north node in the first.) The Transiting Sag moon on the 18th is (in this speculation) in the 9th (courts, law) approaching the MH and squaring T Uranus in Pisces in the 1st.)
I have no idea if this will happen.


[I have no idea what you are talking about.]


Just be assured that nobody can survive the Saturn direct/retrograde influences he'll be subjected to and not be seriously diminished.


[That’s something I learned in history class.]


Uranus conjunct the North Node trine Jupiter natally and in the Solar return Jupiter hidden protection in the 12th. Maybe the only way to figure it out is to look at it by degrees , minutes and spllit seconds to see what hits and is triggered...if the luck is triggered first, and the negatives hit thereafter, he's out of luck. If it's the reverse, the rest of the world will be lucky. But so far, the Uranus/North Node trine Jupiter has always saved him and outweighed the negative transits, maybe because Uranus always has a kick of about 3 degrees orb.


[Yeah, someone always kicks Uranus (sorry I can’t help myself).]


Something about the eclipse of April 8 at 19 Aries, which is triggered early this coming week, keeps gnawing at me. So, A look at Junior's chart relocated to DC gives me his MC at 19 Aries with Chiron conjuncting it at 20 Aries. Born to wound the country. But his MC and Chiron took that April eclipse which is activated now (the news of Rove) and more so when Jupiter activates that eclipse by opposition in late August/early September. Meanwhile looking for a contact of USA and Jupiter- Saturn: Trans Saturn has already passed USA's natal Jupiter in July of 2003.
Jupiter will conjunct the USA's Saturn 14 Libra the second week of August and then continue on to conjunct Junior's Jupiter 18 Libra(return) the very last few days of August and early September, kicking off his Jupiter Uranus North Node good luck trine. Unless he's having a massive stroke, he's skating through the Karl revelations. Would you believe this is the second transit of his Jupiter return and the other was in January 2005 ? ? Yes, you would believe it. Junior's natal Jupiter at 18 Libra is conjunct his 4th cusp of 19 Libra, and triggers off the April 8 19 Aries eclipse by opposition which occurred on his Chiron/MC conjunction. What happened on the eclipse in early April? Does anyone remember? Is that when his poll numbers skydived? Because it looks as if (if he's not hitting his head on something again) he's causing more pillaging, ravaging, and plundering to the country in September. When Saturn goes over the country's Jupiter, the country either changes leadership or goes through restructuring. Saturn transited the USA's Jupiter in July 2003 and hung around in February and March 2004. What I can see is a restructuring, a change in direction,as we all know, and a polarization of the country . Unless this eclipse has a major impact on him, and it looks instead as if it has a major impact on us, I dont see the Rove matter touching him in this immediate time period.


[I’m sure Karl Rove will be relieved to hear about this…if he can ever figure out what the hell you’re ranting about.]


I've been outdoors most of the day, and am heading for bed. But I couldn't resist a peek at that exactly two-year-old Rove chart.
Transiting Jupiter is exactly conjunct natal Pluto that day. (Both are sextile natal Neptune.) Inflating his sense of/need for power, at best, making him a bit of a zealot, obsessive. It's that same Pluto point that Mercury will conjunct July 18th that will also square the nodes. More when my brain kicks in.


[I think your brain has already been kicked in.]


Thanks Splat for posting the solar return chart, look at this: he not only has Mars sq Sun but also has a t square going on: it's Mars opp Jupiter and both squaring Sun. at the same time he's got hidden protection, Jupiter in the 12th, Jupiter opposing Mars smack dab on the 7th say a lot of people are very angry at him, also Neptune of lies in the 4th is quincunx (forced adjustment) the Sun and the MC. Also Pluto is Quincunx the MC from the third house, another forced adjustment, of thought? from the news/media? Pluto is sextile Neptune...well then, he's got an opportunity to tell a really big whopper, but with the YOD being formed, it might be more likely he broadcast a big whopper (Neptune in Aquarius, that the media is now investigating (P in the third)and his opposition is very angry about. (Mars in the 7th)
You might be able to call Fitzgerald a 7th house person, but I think of him as a 9th house person because he's a Special Prosecutor right?
but I could be wrong on that. This may be it. The Yod reaction point is the 4th house cusp of endings. Fickle finger of fate, Career, and endings. Could wonderboy be forced to resign? the potential is strongly there.
And in this solar return he has something in common with Nixon. Nixon's Saturn was up in the 10th house, as I recall. The tranits should tell us more.


[We are currently awaiting a translation from the Aquarian dialect.]


Yes, 28erl, but the birthday is not the trigger for the solar return. The solar return is the moment the Sun returns to its natal degree. and due to our fractional calendar (think leap years) (and also, perhaps, the solar return being calculated for the actual location of the subject, not the birthplace), it's often not on the birthday. (My own solar return has been the day before my birthday the last two years, but it was on my birthday in 2003.)


[You could work wonders in an Insomnia Ward.]


The difference is that the Ascendant shifts to 1'23" Sag, putting Pluto into the first. Mars-Jupiter opp is now house 4 to 10, Solar return Sun, the focus of the T square, is now in a huge 8th house (Placidus) that spans 5 Cancer to 23 Leo and includes Saturn, Venus and Mercury. (I can't imagine any astrologer suggesting he flee to this chart as a better alternative.) North Node at 18 Aries is bearing down on that 16 Aries Mars, btw.


[YAWN! Who needs Sominex when you’re pontificating on meaningless Astrology?]


You might find this interesting…Tarot Reading - Subject - ROVE


[I’ll file that one away for another DUFU edition.]


Astrologers. We're not thinking - The London blasts should be a chart, the same way we did 9 11 charts. And we did 9 -11 charts looking for the culprit. What we found was Neptune in the 7th house ruling or connected to the 9th of foreigners,as I remember. And this was before we knew anything about bin Laden. We should be doing the same thing with the London chart and the blasts. Here's the London chart rectified by Campion using the chart for (sensitive points) Greater London Council, which no longer exists, but he says is still relevant. And it appears he's right.

Mar 31, 1965, 11 PM GMT, London, England, Zone + 0:00, 000W10, 51N30
Asc 29 Scorpio

MC 23 Virgo

Mars Uranus conj at 11 Virgo in the 9th with Pluto at 14 Virgo in the 9th

Saturn 11 Pisces 34 in the third

On July 7, 2005 transiting Uranus was at 10 Pisces 34 opposition natal Mars/Uranus in 9 and conjunct natal Saturn in Pisces.

I think some of Luna's horary skills could be used on this chart.

The 5th house in this chart is ruled by Aries, so that tell me these were youths, and since Mars was transiting the third, they're from the "neighborhood" yet foreign (because Mars resides in the 9th natally.


[You should have just left it at the “We’re not thinking” part and spared us your astrological agony.]


I'm kinda late to this party....
I notice that today, the '3rd harmonic geocentric' focus of that trine is on Rove's Pluto. However, the orb is wide at about 6 degrees. His natal Pluto is at about the midpoint of transiting Pluto, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. This changes by Monday (still 3rd harmonic wave), tMars and tVenus move toward Rove's nChiron, while tMercury and tMoon line up on his nPluto, both are about 1 degree applying to the respective natal bodies. Rove will receive intelligence relating to powerful deceptions which wounds/heals.
I mention the following mostly for timing purposes. I'm also seeing an curious 9th harmonic heliocentric transit pattern on the 20th. The 9th wave pattern is tMars, tEarth/Moon, tUranus conjunction on Rove's nPluto. This may have to do with a relationship ending of some kind. When I was looking at it, I thought of Gannon for some reason. Whatever it is, it's sudden.


[Gannon? Oh yeah. The guy whose astrological charts showed him bringing down the Bush Regime just on the third node of Jupiter during the 8th harmonic heliocentric transit pattern which meant Bush left office last May 21. Right?]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-13-05 ("I'm having my nervous breakdown right now")


DUmmieland has been rather boring today. Why? Because almost every thread is about Karl Rove. They cover almost exactly the same material over and over again to the point of ennui. Of course, this whole Karl Rove “scandal” will be absolutely HILARIOUS once the DUmmies realize that NOTHING will happen to Rove for exactly the reason that he broke NO laws. However, until then, much of DUmmieland is doing nothing but rehashing the same stale material. Therefore I was about to give up all hope of finding any material for today’s PM DUFU edition when I remembered the new Mental Health Support Group forum in DUmmieland. I checked it out and, lo and behold, there is a WEALTH of FANTASIC material there. Let’s face it, merely to be a DUmmie you have to be a nutcase but to be a DUmmie AND post to their Mental Health Support Group forum means you have to be really far gone in the wacko department. Therefore I will be mining this forum more regularly in the future when the other DUmmie threads bore me as tonight. And in this edition of the DUFUs we have a VERY ENTERTAINING post by one of the FUnnier DUmmie comedians, TrogL, whom we featured last November when he had a complete mental meltdown following the election. Tonight TrogL again provides us with quality entertainment in his DUmmie THREAD titled, “I'm having my nervous breakdown right now (incoherent rant).” So take it away, TrogL, in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, admiring the TrogL comedy routine, is in the [brackets]:


I'm having my nervous breakdown right now (incoherent rant)


[Incoherent perhaps, TrogL, but also HIGHLY ENTERTAINING.]


Alternate titles:

# I hate this Universe. Can I go home now?
# It's either post here or kill myself
# I hate my life - wanna trade?


[Um… Sorry no trade, TrogL, but I have to admit I ENJOY the hell out of watching your miserable life.]


I apologize in advance for the typing. I wanna get this all down and maybe I"ll edit later.


[Just don’t edit out the Funnie stuff, TrogL.]


I've jsut kidn of readched the end of my tether. It's been a long weekend here and it's just one stupdity after another. For a summary, read some of my other threads, but here's a few examples.

No, I don't wanna play "why don't you ya but".


[You’re NOT making a bit of sense, TrogL, but I find your writing MUCH more interesting than that of Pied Piper Pitt.]


Somebody got into my garage and stole two of my kids bicycles - AGAIN. (partially my fault, I left the side door open)


[Calm down, TrogL. I promise I will return those bikes soon.]


My partner has adopted this down-and-out-of-luck person who I can't stand - the last time I had vibes like these about this person was the last time we got broken into. He's managed to get himself kicked out of the Y, where he was living, which I understand is just about impossible.
NOrmally my bipolar swings are three days up, three days down in sort of a sinewave pattern. I've been down for six days and counting. Today I guess I'm on a manic swing because I was up all night but it's hardly a normal swing. I'm still depressed, it's just like I want to start smashing things.


[Was this down-and-out-of-luck person who you can’t stand named Al Gore by any chance, TrogL?]


I bought something used and I can't get it to work. I also can't find parts for it.


[Those used nuclear reactors can be trouble to operate, TrogL, although you might check the junkyards for the needed parts.]


My son is wacko, won't reliably take his meds that stop him from being wacko and can't see (when he's wacko) that he's the one with an altered reality (yes, I've explained it over and over). He's on a manic swing from hell and nobody believes me that he's bipolar.


[Your son has an altered reality? A future DUmmie in the making.]


My partner's on a bazillion different meds (pain management etc) and spends a lot of his time passed out. Problem is, he doesn't understand how much he's sleeping and doesn't believe you when you wake him up and tell him he's been asleep. If you confront him with the evidence he gets all hostile. Just when I'm ready to get fed up, he suddenly goes wild and cleans up the house.


[HOLD ON!!! Your partner is a guy on meds and you have a wacko son? I guess I can conclude that your domestic life is NOT an “Ozzie and Harriet” situation.]


I don't think my meds are helping me. My obsessive/compulsiveness is completely out of control. I've picked my face raw. I've been pacing. I've buried myself in my books. My mood swings are way outside of normal. The only thing I'm NOT doing is screaming at people like I did when I was off my meds. I guess I feel better than then, I don't know. I can't tell. YOu can't tell from inside the situation.


[Sooooo… What makes you think your meds aren’t working, TrogL?]


I"m btroke. I'm always broke. Everybody in the household is constantly whining at me for money. Nobody can udnerstand taht there just isn't any. Occasionaly on a manic swing I'll actually give them a bit for a treat and then their on my case ove rand voer and over for the next week for more. I show them the 0 bank balance, I show them my empty awllet and 30 mintges later they're at it again.


[May I interest you in investing in gold, TrogL?]


NOthing makes any sense anymore. Nothign works anhymore. Everything's just all fscked up[ all the tim e and I'm tired of it.


[Congatulations, TrogL! You’ve just written the PERFECT epitaph for DUmmieland. And now let us hear your fellow DUmmies commiserate with you on your many woes…]


You have a choice, Trogl, call your therapist/shrink/doctor, or not. One can't handle this kind of chaos alone for long.


[DON’T encourage TrogL to seek help! Sanity could impede his terrific comedy writing.]


WHAT therapist/shirnk/doctor?
The only competent psychiatrist I've had I either had to move away from (work) or retired. The last shrink I had was a pill-pushing idiot who couldn't recognize obsessive/compulsive if it slapped him in the face and lost interest in me as soon as he found out I wasn't schizophrenic.


[Unfortunately for you, TrogL, the psychopaths are out of fashion. It is the schizos who are the IN thing nowadays.]


Call your GP if you have one, there must be some source for you there for some help.


[Methinks TrogL needs something much more heavy duty than a mere GP.]


This province doesn't have a lot of mental health support even though it's the richest province in Canada. What is there is a pay-as-you-go system and you end up with a glorified social worker. Full-blown shrinks are in very short supply and lot of them are downright incompetent.


[And all this time I thought Canada had this WONDERFUL health care system, TrogL. Thanx for setting us straight.]


do you have Emotions Anonymous where you are? It is a free support group for people with various mood disorders or mental illness. I found a group that was very helpful to me when I wasn't doing well with depression and my life was out of control


[Or perhaps Emoticons Anonymous.]


wish i was there to give you a hug


[I’m not so sure giving TrogL a hug is a good idea. It might set off his hand grenade.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-13-05 ("If you could wish for one single 'Miracle' what would that be?")


DUmmie Fantasy threads are among my faves. I mean who can forget the comedic entertainment of the many many “I BELEEEEEVE” threads where the DUmmies fervently declared “I BELEEEEVE that John Kerry will be inaugurated president on Jan. 20?” More recently there was a thread where they speculated that Al Gore is our president in another universe. And now we have this fantasy THREAD titled, “If you could wish for one single ‘Miracle’ what would that be?” What is really great about this fantasy thread, is that it is not limited to just one bizarre fantasy. The DUmmies give free reign to their imaginations to come up with many miraculous fantasies. So let us now enjoy the spectacle of DUmmies ardently trying to conjure up miracles in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, mumbling “abra cadabra,” is in the [brackets]:


If you could wish for one single "Miracle" what would that be?


[My wish for a single miracle would be that on Election Day, the exit polls show that Kerry would win in a landslide, thus causing the DUmmies to jubilantly celebrate prematurely. However, a few hours later the exit polls would be proven to be wrong because Bush actually wins the election which causes the DUmmies to go into a depressive tailspin when the rug is pulled out from under them. I know this miracle is a big stretch but you said I could at least wish for one.]


Mine would be the political resurrection of Brother Al Gore in 2006-2008...Say Amen Somebody!!!


[HALLELUJAH!!! I PRAY FOR THE RESURRECTION OF AL “HE BETRAYED US” GORE!!!]


Say I BELIEEEVE that...only AL can SAVE us now...I BELIEEEVE we in America could use some Truth and some Light for a CHANGE...I BELIEEEVE that...that ole DEVIL(KKKarl-zee-bub)is out to smite Move on.org...because he thinks that in so doing, he can drive a political stake into Al Gore's heart for allllll eternity...Keep in mind dear friends, brothers and sisters, that...The bad guys always fear and want to destroy the good guys...Always Have...Always Will...Let's all sing 'Shall we gather at the voter registration office'



[I BEEELEEEVE!!! OH YES, I BELEEEEVE!!! BRING ON THE SNAKE CHARMERS!!!]


KKKarl has a bad habit of trying to destroy anyone, or anything, that threatens to derail the neocon's grand plans...Folks like Howard Dean, Joe Wilson and Al Gore! Now I guess it's Move On's turn to be cast into the lake of lies. Karl want's to get even with Move On...Just like He Tried to Get Even Of Joe Wilson's wife. There is a pattern there...I BELIEEEEVE!


[I BEEEELEEEEVE THAT KARL ROVE IS SATAN!!!!]


GORE/DEAN in 2008!!!!!!!


[And the weird thing is that is ALSO my miracle wish for the Democrat ticket in 2008. And now let us hear about the miracles desired by the rest of your fellow DUmmies…]


Mine would be all of Bushco behind bars, never to be resurrected again! EVER! That would be miracle enough for me, I could die a happy woman.


[Prepare yourself for a sad death.]


The miracle I wish for is the impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and the rest of his administration. An impeachment so gruesome that it would scar the GOP for decades to come and lead to an era of progressive prosperity like that of the 30s-60s.


[You would need ANOTHER miracle to make the Depression years of the 1930s an era of “progressive prosperity.”]


I BELIEEEEEEVE...We are bound for the promised land! If the truth ever be told!


[HALLELUJAH!!! I SEEEEE THE PROMISED LAND! JUST OVER THAT HILL!!! I SEEEEE PYONYANG!!!]


I got down on my hands and knees...and asked the almighty for a sign that America is turning away from the ways of sins, from refusing to read, from watching FOX NEWS, form listening to Limbaugh, from refusing to use what you gave them, oh Lord, somebody give me an Amen, from refusing to use their God given common sense. Brothers and Sisters help me help these people who are so depraved, lead by the Bush Enterprises. Can I get witness? Give me a Hallelujah. Mercy me, I am so excited that the Neocons are being rejected by more and more people. I gotta jump up and holler, Lord, help me.


[HALLELUJAH!!! I got down and my hands and knees and prayed to the Almighty for the American public to close their eyes and ears to any information contrary to the DNC talking points.]


I do honestly believe, that Shrub was the "major calamity" that all the old seers and prophets predicted for the new millennium. We almost made it through the year 2000 without a major disaster, until December of 2000, when the SCOTUS awarded Al Gore's job to Bush. We got a millennium chimp in 2000 instead of the millennium bug.


[As predicted in the book of DUmmie Revelations---the Millennium Beast Chimp shall rule in Darkness for all Eternity.]


My wish would be for a healthy baby, and a healthy world for her to live in, in about six months from now.


[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]


To win the lotto and move to somewhere safe. Prefer a place where I can have my bare butt swatted with palm leaves by half naked hula girls...


[Leave off the part about naked hula girls and palm leaves and you describe about 95% of the male DUmmie fantasies.]


Half naked hula guys for me.


[No surprise there DUmmie Gay Green.]


Justice would mean waking up tomorrow morning in a sweat. I look around me and my husband is gone to work. My sons come in and give me a great big hug and I make my way to the kitchen to get breakfast. I see a note on the table and it is from my wonderful spouse. I read it and it says, "You fell asleep last night before the votes were counted - Gore won!" Then I look at the newspaper and sure enough he did win. All of this had been but a dream.


[Good news! Gore DID win in an alternate universe. Didn’t you read the DUmmie thread on this very topic?]


painless 95% reduction in human population


[Let me guess, DUmmie natrat. You consider yourself one of the elite 5% who will not be part of that “painless reduction.”]


O Lord ...Call down your vengeance upon the liars and the speakers of false doctrine. Let them be sealed in the whited sepulchers of their own iniquity never to see the light of your countenance. Let those who speak of righteous and do not practice it be cast into the everlasting lake of the burning brimstone. Let their tongues shrivel and their loins grow barren. Let them know fully the wrath of the one they have maligned with their vile preachings and may they serve as a perpetual warning toward those who presume to know the mind of g-d.


[WOW! You really don’t like Muslims, do you?]


Sometimes I think the Devil himself is in my keyboard boggling my mind a-purpose! Praise the big skeery guy way up yonder past them clouds, that they had plenty of good cold draft beer at the El Toro Lounge today. I CAN FEEEEEEEEEEL THE CHANGE...when I wrap my parched old lips around a couple of ice cold pitchers of brew! I really do think it's a miracle that you can get a gallon of draft beer, or a gallon of high octane gas, for the same price now, down there at the stop and go drive through! MYYYYY, MYYYY, MYYYYY...But don't the Lawd Works in some gaul danged Mysterious ways sometimes?


[HALLELUJAH!!! HE HAS WRAPPED HIS PARCHED OLD LIPS AROUND A COUPLE OF ICE COLD PITCHERS OF BREW AND HAS SEEEEEEN THE VISIONS!!!]


Retroactive infertility for Prescott Bush. Imagine a world with no Bush twins. No W. No Jeb. No Neil. Laura Bush as a school librarian. No G.W. Bush. Barbara in a trailer home somewhere. Damn, imagine it. Talk about a better world.


[Hmmm… I’m thinking here that we need to come up with new lyrics for John Lennon’s “Imagine” song.]


That the last 5 years were all just a horrible dream...


[It was…..in the Alternate Reality.]


Anyway, my miracle.. I guess I'd have to go with an impeachment of Bush and his cronies, followed by embarrassed retirement of the rest of his administration, subsequent investigations into all allegations against them, revealing the vote fraud in the 2004 election, and installing Kerry in the white house as a result.


[SIGH! To install Kerry in the White House following a Bush impeachment, you would need ANOTHER miracle to retroactively change the constitution for a different line of succession. But don’t feel bad. Your error is a COMMON DUmmie fantasy.]


Mine would be that all religion would suddenly dissappear because, without religion, there is peace


[With the exception of Islam, THE religion of peace.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-12-05 ("A few words about the discussion of the London bombing on DU" ---Skinner)


LIHOP, MIHOP, BFEE, PNAC, etc., etc.. What would DUmmieland be without its plethora of wacky multi-initialed conspiracy theories? I know that I burst out laughing the first time I found out what BFEE stands for so I greatly appreciate the comedic material such DUmmie conspiracy theories provide. However, now Skinner fears for the “reputation” of DUmmieland as you can see in his THREAD titled, “A few words about the discussion of the London bombing on DU,” in which he tries to get the DUmmies to tone it down in the wacky conspiracy theory department. It is a hopeless task, Skinner, because the DUmmies THRIVE on conspiracy theories and the WACKIER the BETTER. However, let us now enjoy watching Skinner acting embarrassed by his own DUmmieland kook fringe (all those registered other than LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS) in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who can’t wait to see the multitude of conspiracy theories hatched over there when the Rove “scandal” goes nowhere, is in the [brackets]:


A few words about the discussion of the London bombing on DU…I'm not a big fan of the term "conspiracy theory," because I don't think it accurately describes what it is supposed to refer to. I guess I'm just not comfortable with the term "theory," which has a specific scientific meaning, being used to describe points of view that are more accurately described as "speculation," or sometimes "totally baseless speculation." Nonetheless, "conspiracy theory" is the generally accepted term, and that is the one I will use here.


[Whew! All that USELESS explanation just to get the point made in the last sentence. But continue Skinner…]


Conspiracy theories present a thorny problem for those of us who administer popular online communities like this one, with a very diverse membership. We are required to balance the conflicting interests of (on one hand) openness and the free exchange of ideas, versus (on the other hand) the desire of members to be part of a community that holds itself to some minimal standard of acceptable discourse. For example, allow me to use an extreme hypothetical: I think it is safe to say that few of us would like Democratic Underground to become widely known as that place where people believe space aliens cause tsunamis. My point being that most of us recognize that we must balance the two conflicting interests of openness vs. minimal standards -- the real difference among us is where we each would draw the line.


[Yeah, conspiracy theories do present a thorny problem for you, Skinner, because they make DUmmieland look like the asylum that it is.]


Being one of the admins of this website, I am in the enviable (or, depending on your viewpoint, unenviable) position of being able to decide where that line is drawn. Some of you may remember that back in January, I made it clear that Democratic Underground was not the place to argue in favor of man-made causes for the Asian Tsunami. We have also made it clear, over many years, that bigoted conspiracy theories have no place on Democratic Underground. So there is a precedent for us setting some minimal standards for these discussions. And, in fact, it is very easy for us to draw the line in these cases. (Unfortunately, such decisions are not always so easy. Even though my job often requires me to censor people, I have never been particularly comfortable with doing it.)


[Bigoted conspiracy theories? Oh you mean like the many DUmmie conspiracy theories blaming the “neocons” (the jews! the jews!) for most of our problems?]


The issue gets more complicated when we're addressing conspiracy theories that enjoy some level of interest in progressive circles. In this category, I would include the many theories having to do with alleged involvement of the Bush Administration in 9/11. We have permitted a fair amount of speculation along these lines, and we still do here on Democratic Underground. I have read many of the posts here about this topic, and I will be honest with you: I believe that Bush deserves some responsibility for 9/11 due to incompetence, not because of MIHOP or LIHOP. Regardless of my personal views, we have permitted a fair amount of discussion of many 9/11 conspiracy theories, either in the General Discussion forum, or in the special September 11 forum, provided that members avoid discussing bigoted theories and avoid linking to sites that promote bigoted theories. This compromise has not made everyone happy, but that is the nature of compromise.


[GASP! You discount LIHOP and MIHOP! That puts you at odds with 75% of your fellow DUmmies (the remaining 25% being LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS).]


In the wake of the London terror attacks, a number of new conspiracy theories are starting to take shape. At this point, I don't find any of these conspiracy theories to be particularly credible. They seem to be based either on stories in the media that have since been corrected, or on the baseless speculation of websites that specialize in baseless speculation. The only piece of evidence that seems to have any credibility at all is this one posted on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation website, but my impression is that at this point people are reading a lot more into the story than it deserves. I could write pages and pages on the topic of what it means to be open minded, and the importance of drawing conclusions based on evidence versus starting with a conclusion and then cherry-picking evidence to fit -- but I think that is a topic for a different post.


[Don’t you know, Skinner? The BFEE caused the London bombings. Just ask Pied Piper Pitt who made that very claim.]


Since the bombings, there has been a lot of confusion about what is permitted here and what isn't. I have contributed to the problem because so far I have not articulated any clear guidelines -- to you or to the moderators -- about what is appropriate and what is not. The mods and admins have been discussing this issue, and we will continue to do so. For the moment, here is where things stand:


[For the moment, here is my own conspiracy theory about YOU, Skinner, based on your photographs: You are a 16 year-old kid trapped in the body of a 15 year-old boy. You never seem to be authoritative enough to lay down any sort of guidelines in DUmmieland.]


You are welcome to post links to credible mainstream news sources that are related to the London attacks. But we would prefer that you refrain from posting links to highly speculative conspiracy websites in our main forums: Latest Breaking News, Editorials & Other Articles, or the two General Discussion forums. We don't have an official list of such sites at this point, but I think most DU members are capable of distinguishing what constitutes a conspiracy website. If you feel the restrictions on discussing this issue in our main forums are too strict, you are encouraged to visit our September 11 forum, where we give members some greater leeway to discuss more speculative topics.


[Translation: “Please go to the September 11 forum to post your wacky conspiracy theories out of the public eye so as not to embarrass me with your nuttiness.”]


Furthermore, I believe we should permit members to share personal "gut feelings" about what happened in London, as long as you aren't using it as an excuse to link to conspiracy websites or to pass off baseless speculation as fact.


[Passing off baseless speculation as fact? Isn’t that what DUmmieland is all about?]


I hope that this post will give you some idea of where we stand. Don't worry -- nobody is getting banned. But we hope that everyone will make an effort to respect the guidelines we have laid out here.


[Nobody will be banned but will they be committed? The name “mopaul” leaps out at this point with “benburch” not far behind.]


Thank you for your understanding.


[And thank you for the many laughs, Skinner. And now let us listen in to your fellow DUmmies who are SURE to relapse no matter what you say.]


Thanks for the clarification. I know things got pretty crazy here yesterday and that you folks are trying to do your best. However, I do hope that you have resolved the problem with whoever it was that was up bright and early yesterday, making threads disappear (not just locked. It really freaked people out and IMHOP made the situation worse, rather then better.


[It wasn’t just yesterday that things got crazy in DUmmieland. Try EVERY day. BTW, I am behind in my DUmmie conspiracy theory updates. Just what does IMHOP stand for? I Might Hallucinate On Purpose?]


With respect to disappearing posts... I think everyone needs to understand that moderators rarely act alone. On calls like this, they are required to get a consensus before taking action. So, to be clear, there was no single moderator making threads disappear. They were acting together, on consensus, based on their understanding of the DU rules and the wishes of the DU admins.


[It sounds like you are trying to SANITIZE DUmmieland by trying to delete the normal insanity prevalent their. Sorry, Skinner, it WON’T work.]


"pass off baseless speculation as fact". Thanks, Skinner.


[You’re welcome, Pied Piper Pitt. And speaking of “baseless speculation,” would you mind giving us your hockey puck theory geopolitics again where you baselessly speculated that the “Third American Empire” began when hockey fans at the 1980 Olympics yelled “USA! USA!”]


So that explains what you did to the election 2004 forum? You believe it is "wild speculation" that we no longer have fair and free elections?


[Damn you, Skinner! Don’t you know the 2004 election was stolen via Diebold machines?]


Thank you Skinner and a list of sites not exceptable would really help a lot.


[If there were any sense of rationality over there, Skinner would list DUmmieland as not “exceptable” due to the perpetual outbreak of terminal nuttiness.]


Thanks for letting us keep the tinfoil hats Skinner! and not purging us out....


[Tinfoil hatters are the meat and potatoes of DUmmieland. Without you types, all that is left are LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!!]


Just for clarification, where do you stand on Greg Palast?


[I consider Palast to be a rabid moonbat leather strap biting nutcase…which means he is perfectly acceptable to Skinner.]


We approve of Greg Palast. I would consider him a permissable source in GD.


[WHEW! Thanx for maintaining my confidence in you, Skinner, as a nutcase enabler.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-11-05 ("Warning, ROVE RAGE! Enter at your own risk!")


There is a really funny scene in the movie, Back To School. The Rodney Dangerfield character, Thornton Mellon, is a student in a history class conducted by the crazed Professor Terguson (Sam Kinison). Professor Terguson lets loose with an incredibly outraged outburst and invites an equally loony response from his student, Thornton Mellon. Well, this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Warning, ROVE RAGE! Enter at your own risk!” reminds me of that scene from Back To School. A DUmmie delivers an OVER THE TOP rant about Karl Rove plus the EVIL Bush Regime and invites his fellow DUmmies to join in with his nuttiness which they happily oblige. As usual, the DUmmie rants which make Professor Terguson look sane are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that crazed DUmmies are almost as FUnnie as a Sam Kinison comedy routine, is in the [brackets]:


Warning, ROVE RAGE! Enter at your own risk!


[I’m chuckling already. Continue DUmmie Quixote1818.]


Here are the sober facts! This f*cking Administration has probably committed treason, perjury, made a consorted effort to spread misinformation to the press, defrauded OUR government, obstructed justice, compromised our national security by blowing the cover of a CIA agent involved in monitoring WMD around the world, FIXED INTELLIGENCE to fit their f*cking policy to take us into a BOGUS, Illegal, BLOODY F*CKING WAR. Their lies have left over ten thousand Americans either dead, mutilated or inflicted with the darkest forms of post traumatic stress syndrome one can imagine! Their lies have killed tens of thousands of Iraqi's, destroyed a whole country's infrastructure, spread depleted uranium all over Iraq which will inflict perhaps hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and American people with cancer and extreme pain. They have increased terrorism around the world, turned the world against us, blown 300 Billion of our taxes, ruined our army, not protected our soldiers with armor, tortured human beings, fixed elections, appointed nuts to our federal courts and all the while acting like they were appointed by GOD and could do no wrong!


[I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While pussies like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the goddamn Beatle albums! Oh! Oh! Oh!]


I am not only outraged I am F*CKING NUMB and feeling almost lost because it seems like all people care about is Michael Jackson's soap opera!!!!! The GOD DAM F*CKING PRESS WONT DO A thing about this or anything illegal Bush does yet they become infatuated with a blue dress with Bubbas seed on it??? Our lame Democratic leadership with the exception of John Conyers are a bunch of pussies who let Bush get away with EVERYTHING and we have a bunch of scumbags on FR slandering someone as kind and decent and beautiful as Andy who was dying of cancer???? What the hell is our world coming to????


[Continue Professor Terguson, oops, I mean Quixote1818.]


We can start something here on DU and we can start it NOW! No more wondering what the next article is going to say about Rove, it's time for us to speak up loud and clear. It's time to call our congress people and SCREAM at them to get off their asses and represent the people who elected them and confront this corrupt administration with some real guts! It's time to start websites, it's time to write every press person on the planet, it's time to march, it's time to RAISE HELL!


[Let me guess. The Karl Rove being frogwalked out of the White House scenario is going NOWHERE. But continue with the comedy act…]


Can I please see some outrage on this thread? The kind the actions of this administration deserves! And better yet what are we going to do with that rage to change this situation?


[“Can you please be as CRAZY as me? Is there no Thornton Mellon out there who can match my crazy Professor Terguson routine?” Well, don’t worry, DUmmie Quixote1818. Your total lack of sanity will be more than matched by your equally crazed fellow DUmmies as we shall see.]


Gladly f*ck those mother f*ckers!!! The press is f*cking guilty! Democrats are a bunch of bought off spineless pieces of shit! Republicans running things are the epitomy of evil! F*ck'um all start to hell!!! Hell is too good!


[Professor Terguson: You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? Then take the f*cking wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the f*cking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it!

Thornton Melon: All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a *pussy wimp* to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!]


I'm outraged -but my emails don't seem to force the MSM into printing stories on this. Just a suspician, but I think SOMEONE is actively attempting to cover it up. That's what we're fighting against. Which means we have to scream louder and longer than the opposition. Public apathy doesn't help. Why do I feel like I'm living in the middle of Germany in WWII?


[Perhaps because you are living in the middle of a padded cell.]


mitigating psyops impact on civilian institutions. In order to counteract attempts at "velvet revolutions" or undue influence, governments have often been heavy-handed in the dictation of propaganda to media outlets. Because of the role of propaganda, some incursions on civilian media are unavoidable. The question we should really be asking is how to cooperatively ensure objectivity instead of enforcing dogma. After all, foreign governmental influence on the media is even less welcome than domestic governmental influence. Joint civilian and military review panels, discussions about how to detect psyops and false reports, joint media and military investigations, and objectivity standards would be useful if undertaken sincerely. Unfortunately it would be rather pollyanna-ish to assume such could ever be done.


[Psyops and Liphops and Mihops, Oh My! Psyops and Liphops and Mihops, Oh My!]


Sure wish I could verbally rage like that.


[A good start would be a reading of King Lear.]


MediaWhores abound; Democracy weeps; we're f*cking pissed-off!
Excellent. There are all sorts of people who are extremely angry. They include nearly everyone I talk to outside of my work setting (which is not political) and even people I talk to there will spontaneously comment on what a POS the administration is. Here's the good news, with NO F*CKING PRESS COVERAGE over 50% (and you know they lie about this) of the population thinks the war is a big f'ing mistake; 42% in Zogby (he got his revenge didn't he) said that * should be impeached...4 2 %...if he lied about WMD (well a majority think he lied so the next time they ask it, the question will be, Should the pResident be impeached? The numbers will continue to push up,up. I'm in contact with my congressman and senators and they're hearing it loud and clear.
No more holding back; time to tell the truth; it's AMF time for *!


[I am lacking an Asylum Dictionary so could you tell us what “AMF” means, DUmmie autorank?


I'm way beyond outrage...For me, outrage is SO 2003. I've moved beyond that to acceptance, and now I'm just waiting for them to self-destruct. It's happening as we speak, and it's ugly. It'll take a bit more time, but they will destroy themselves.


[Speaking of self-destructing… Hee! Hee!]


The cabal in charge are well aware of what is coming. Shit - they do all they can to "bring it on". Meanwhile - we should all keep hollering. The train wreck is coming - but there is still time to pull the brakes or jump off...


[I recommend the “jump off” option for you DUmmie pengu1n.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-07-05 (Pied Piper Pitt Places Blame For London Bombings On Bush and Blair)

No sooner did the bombs go off today in London when the opportunist whores of the political left began blaming the ones they really felt were responsible for the tragedy---Bush & Blair. Oh, a few of the loons, such as Pied Piper Pitt, made a few gratuitous nods in the way of blaming the ISLAMIC terrorists but that was strictly for show. The ones they REALLY blame are (surprise! surprise!) none other than Bush & Blair as you can see Pitt do in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Over There.” And Pitt proves himself to be way Over There in left field by placing the blame (after going through meaningless motions of pretending to attack the actual terrorists) on Bush and Blair. Pitt’s fellow DUmmies know they game. They pretty much ignore the terrorists and get right to their agenda of Bush and Blair bashing. As usual, the misguided assaults of Pied Piper Pitt and his Hate America DUmmies are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, seeing right through the Pitt, is in the [brackets]:


A British associate penned a quick response to the bombing attacks that took place in London this morning. “The message from those claiming responsibility says, in part, ‘Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters,’” he wrote. “Well it isn't, so f*ck them.”

Indeed.



[Indeed. Indeed Pitt you have disingenuously EDITED out the relevant part of that British DUmmie associate who buys into your Game Plan. Here is the quote by that same person quoted HERE:]


"Your halfwit leader and our dimwit PM are the ones responsible by their actions for this atrocity. I would imagine we're all in agreement about this. All on the same side wherever we're from."


[Indeed. Indeed as evidenced by the portion of the quote carefully edited out by Pitt, it appears you DUmmies are on the same side---blaming Bush and Blair. Indeed. Now let us return to Pied Piper Pitt, the master of sanitizing quotes…]


My first response was a wrenching horror, a kick to the gut when I checked my email and saw two hundred messages with the words ‘London attack’ in the subject line. Suddenly, the television was on and I was reading every news report I could get my eyes on. At least thirty-three people were killed and hundreds more wounded in four coordinated bombing attacks aimed at the mass transit system.


[Watch as Pitt puffs himself up with the hot air of self-importance…]


All of a sudden I was back in my classroom, back in the middle of a bright September morning, surrounded by wall-eyed students asking me if this was World War III as we watched two buildings burn, and then fall, and then unannounced I had Ani DiFranco in my head and she was singing, “And every borough looked up when it heard the first blast, and then every dumb action movie was summarily surpassed, and the exodus uptown by foot and motorcar looked more like war than anything I've seen so far…”


[Sheesh! A tragedy happens in London and Pitt uses it as a segue to talk about his favorite subject---himself.]


That was my first response, but I’m a little wiser nowadays. My second thought, bluntly, was that of all the Western cities in the world, London can handle this. From 1973 until roundabout the year 2000, bombings in that city took place with dreary regularity. In November of 1974, two IRA bombs in Birmingham killed 19 and wounded 180. A 1989 bombing at the Royal Marines School of Music killed 10 and wounded more than 30. There were more than a dozen different major incidents like these, and many smaller ones besides.


[Pitt Googles “London bombings” and uses the results to engage in yet more self-puffery to impress the DUmmies about his “knowledge.”]


London handled the Nazi blitz. ‘Handled’ is perhaps the wrong word. Londoners watched as their city was battered to rubble day after day, and squared their shoulders, and sent out the RAF, and prevailed. A fire chief named Deasy summed up the British response: “The idea of England folding up, that's a joke. That outfit will never fold up. They've got just as much guts as anybody in this man's world has and they'll carry right on. Anybody thinks they're gonna fold up, they're crazy.”


[I can sum up the DUmmie/Pitt response: “It’s CHURCHILL’S fault! Damn him to hell for making us a target of German bombs!”]


In other words, the British associate who wrote that note this morning hit the nail on the head.


[A British DUmmie associate whose FULL note you carefully editied, Pitt.]


Now comes the so-called official response. Predictably, George W. Bush proclaimed that the War on Terror goes on. Conservative frother Rush Limbaugh got on the radio and made a few remarkable rhetorical contortions. To wit: The G8 summit, which was apparently the target of these attacks, is a liberal summit. Yes, you read that right. He called it a “leftist summit” aimed at achieving leftist goals like saving Africa (“Again,” he said) and stopping global warming, and so this was an attack on leftists who will now attack Bush.


[Now comes the predictable DUmmie/Pitt response: BLAME BUSH!!!]


The idea that the G8 is a leftist organization is a new one to me. I must have missed a memo somewhere. Apparently, the three billion people who went out last weekend to ask the G8 to do the right thing likewise missed the memo. Other conservative commentators rushed to microphones to proclaim that if we had all been standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Bush, this London attack would never have happened. Never underestimate the ability of the right-wing to use tragedy as a means of beating on people they don’t agree with.


[Never underestimate the ability of the left-wing to use tragedy as a means of beating on people they don’t agree with. And you shall soon prove this point (after an unenthusiastic swipe at the real terrorists).]


I am a little wiser nowadays, and perhaps a little more callous because of that wisdom. My first response was horror, and my second was a sense that the British people have the strength to endure this. My third response was to marvel at the news coverage. Four bombings, more than thirty dead, hundreds more wounded? In London, it is a terrifying, enraging, appalling act of despicable violence that must be immediately avenged.


[Your fourth response was to figure out how to politicize the tragedy.]


In Iraq, they call events like this “Tuesday.”


[In DUmmieland, they call events like this “Opportunism.”]


Tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded in Iraq by way of deadly bombings that have been taking place every single day. These Iraqi people are no different from the Londoners who perished today. Their skin is darker perhaps, and they pray to a different God, but they have families and children and dreams and they die just as horribly as their British counterparts. Yet they earn perhaps a few sentences on the back page of the paper, and virtually no comment from the members of the international community which ginned up the invasion of Iraq in the first place.


[And WHO is doing the bombings in Iraq, Pitt? We know it is not the Americans but you sure love to insinuate that it is OUR fault.]


The world was warned about this, warned and warned and warned again. An invasion based on lies and disinformation, an occupation that grinds a civilian populace, becomes the perfect machine to manufacture terrorists who will happily die in order to see others die. The CIA calls what happened in London today “blowback.” It is wrong, it is heinous, it is murder plain and simple, and it was as predictable as the sun rising in the East.


[Okay. Here we go again. Pied Piper Pitt playing the Blame Bush, Blame Blair drumbeat.]


The rhetoric about Iraq has been that we are “fighting the terrorists over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.” Today, “over here” became the streets of London. Where will it be tomorrow?


[At this point, Pitt shifts gears ever so briefly so he can claim that he does blame the terrorists. Watch his very quick nod in this direction just before he returns enthusiastically to his main theme.]


One thing is certain. The perpetrators of this bombing bear the responsibility for this wretched act, and bear the responsibility for the gross miscalculation that many have made in the past: A democratic society is weak and decadent, and can be easily pushed. Ask Hitler if that is true. A democratic society, once enraged, is the strongest force on Earth, and those responsible for this are going to find that out to their woe.


[And now to finish it off with what you REALLY mean to say, Pitt…]


The other certainty: Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair bear the responsibility for this wretched act, as well. They decided in April of 2002 to start a war based on false pretenses, to fix the intelligence and facts around the policy, and now the whirlwind has come to be reaped. The blood that runs in the streets of London, and in the streets of Baghdad, Fallujah, Tikrit and Mosul, is on their hands.


[Now don’t you feel so much better, Pitt? Your fellow DUmmies aren’t fooled by that quick slap at the terrorists. They too know you REALLY mean to attack Bush and Blair as we can see in the following attaboy posts…]


That quote from your associate is great. These terrorists must be stupid. You CANNOT panic Londoners with Bombs.


[Perhaps you should read the section of that DUmmie Brit associate carefully edited out by Pitt.]


Great Post. And we have to call the republicans who are currently in charge on their shit, if(when) they try to use this incident for their own means. This goes for anyone that tries to use this horrible event to move forward their twisted agenda.


[You mean twisted agendas like blaming Bush & Blair for the bombings as Pitt has done?]


A great post, WilliamPitt -Naturally, Blair immediately took centre stage to rail against the terrorists who he says are determined to undermine British resolve to carry through on its agenda. Huh? Run that by me again. Of course this horrific incident must be condemned and the perpetrators brought to justice. No freakin' doubt about it. H O W E V E R...............


[Ah! The big H O W E V E R! Yes, a quick nod in the direction of slightly blaming the terrorists H O W E V E R…..]


Blair cannot be seen as the poster child for anti-terrorism. For Christ's sake, get a spokesperson with some bloody credibility! Pleeeeeease!! For example, check out the short speech the Mayor of London gave. In any event, what in blazes does the poodle think the U.K. and the U.S.A. are doing to Iraq? With no Iraqi provocation, he and Bush have bombed the hell out of a city decimating its infrastructures, killing thousands, maiming thousands more, terrorizing those left standing, and torturing those they've imprisoned. And Blair, the twisted twerp, has the unmitigated gall to deliver a speech condemning terrorism!?!? Enraged!? Words fail me. What effrontery! What insolence! What hypocrisy! What a bloody poor excuse for a human being.


[H O W E V E R…this DUmmie quickly returned to form.]


It's the extremists on both sides that have to believe that the other side is made up of infidels with a different god - or none.


[Moral equivalence raises its ugly head again. Actually not quite equivalence since the DUmmies consider the pro-American “extremists” to be much WORSE than the Islamo-Fascists.]


I am trying to get an explanation from a ditto head coworker, after he wipes the spittle off of his chin following one of his rants about "Islamic extremists", and "Moslem Terrorists" of course. I want to know why he thinks this event, because it was perpetrated by brown skinned Moslems, is so much more horrible, than the thousands of innocents in Iraq that are killed by blond light skinned, freckle faced Christians. Mind you I am in no way making light of the situation in London, but the outrage I feel today for the British, is the same outrage I have personally been feeling on a day in and day out basis since the US occupation of Iraq began. I want to know where the outrage that they are feeling today has been all along.


[Thank you for saying out loud what Pied Piper Pitt not so subtly only hints at.]


thanks to giving us words, Will, to both grieve and to fight. We can grieve, yes. But there we NEVER AGAIN be another Sept. 12th, when we went to sleep and watched our reason be hijacked.


[Yes, I remember September 12 well when many DUmmies and other Leftists were outraged when we decided to go after Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-06-05 ("Dear American Right Wing...")


Michael Savage has written a book called “Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder.” Should any of you out there have any doubt as to the validity of his assertion, then I suggest you read this THREAD titled, “Dear American Right Wing...” authored by DUmmie baby_mouse who is indeed suffering from a severe mental disorder as you shall see. Most frightening is that his DUmmie’s cohorts, with one notable exception, in extreme liberalism chime in and agree with his rabid ranting. As usual the DUmmie anger at the world at large is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, secretly admitting that mentally disordered liberals are FUN to watch, is in the [brackets]:


Dear American Right Wing... How horrible you are.


[Ooh! Ooh! How horrible is the chastisement of your severe tongue lashing! Continue DUmmie baby_mouse…]


What a twisted, sour, ugly, weird, cowed, freakish crowd of malcontents, doomsayers, ne'er-do-wells, losers in life and criminals you all are.


[You left out “nasty,” “evil,” and “mean” in your list of adjectives. But continue. All is being jotted down on the pad for analysis my little DUmmie patient.]


How *un*respectable. How *un*imaginative. How *very* lacking in that vital spark that galvanizes true leadership. How impoverished of the soul, how devoid of ordinary decency and compassion, how mindless, how corrupt, how petty and shrill and silly you all are.


[How now brown cow.]


Why do you do it? I am non-plussed.


[Or as they say in Newspeak, double plus non-plussed.]


You could be nice people if you wanted, it's not difficult. It's more fun, too.


[Could…could we even be as NICE as you, DUmmie baby_mouse?]


I can only imagine the churning vortex of power, shit, death, greed and money that haunts your dreams, the log-books of perceived slights that you pore over night by night, the ogreish monsters, black hearted demons and giggling imps that must endlessly patrol the subconscious of your party to maintain its vast libraries of immaculate hatred. Not that I wish to, particularly. What a well-oiled and thoroughly USELESS machine. Useless work darkens the soul, gentleman.


[Somehow the word “projection” comes to mind here.]


What do you ADD to Humanity? What GOOD are you to anyone? What are you FOR?


[I know what you are for, DUmmie baby_mouse. You are here to AMUUUUSE us.]


I can't imagine that you enjoy being that way. You must know what you are when you look in the mirror in the mornings and there's no-one around you to play the game, because no-one is a fool about himself when he's alone. Small, mean-spirited men sniping at each other about imaginary enemies behind closed doors. What an ugly way to live. You must be miserable!


[Sniff! How miserable I am living the Morlock life waiting to enslave the cuddly liberal Eloi.]


Imagine wanting to be a Republican! A REPUBLICAN!


[Imagine wanting to be a DUmmie! A DUMMIE!]


Fear and constraint and what-does-HE-think-about-me and sniggering behind the bike sheds and scoring minuscule fractions of points off each other and anyone with a more open heart than yourselves! It's AWFUL! Imagine being crushed forever into that pitiful little grey suit forever and ever until you're DEAD. Because you're all far too afraid to change. You're going to die that way, you know. All of you. Empty hearted having lead lives devoid of meaning or purpose, forever alienated from the world, utterly cast out by your own fear and demoralized in the face of anything resembling generosity of spirit or kindness.


[Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, Living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world!]


What's the best you can hope for?


[For your psychotic rant to end sometime this month, DUmmie baby_mouse.]


An interview where you manage to make the opposition feel as small as you do. Just for a LITTLE while. As your sweat trickles down your skull under the white blare of the studio lamps you tick off the talking points in your head. What was your score? Ten points? Twenty? A Thousand?


[Let me guess the problem here, DUmmie baby_mouse. A Freeper kicked your ass in a debate.]


Who cares? You. Only you. And sometimes not even YOU care, when you stare at your sunken eyes in the mirror after crawling out of bed away from a wife that won't sleep with you or speak to you anymore, listening to the strange, frightening, alien noises of the children downstairs, the children you never wanted but had to have because your dad told you you had to be a family man.


[Talk to the hand. Better yet, talk to the rubber walls.]


Is your tie the right shade of grey? Is your parting in the right place? Did you book an appointment with the right plastic surgeon or have you by accident chosen one that pissed off one of your powerful friends?


[Is your butterfly net handle the correct length? Are your pogo stick springs properly aligned? Did you book an appointment with the right rubber duckie or have you by accident bitten down on a leather strap belonging to one of your fellow DUmmies?]


How you love power! How little of it you really have!


[How you love meds! How little of it you really have.]


You can't really change anything, can you?


[Hey, I changed my underwear which puts me ahead of you.]


What you want is not to be alone, for other people to be crushed into the same little grey suit as you, to cower perpetually behind images and symbols and lies and games and tricks, to trap themselves in ever decreasing circles so that we all think like you, small, cramped thoughts, not big, scary new ones that make you feel stupid.


[You really really want that FUnnie Farm vacation.]


But you can't get inside our heads. You want to think you can, because that's the only way you beat aside your shadows, your entrenched and utterly perverted egos straining without end at chains of their own devising.


[It’s my life goal…To crawl inside the head of a DUmmie and share a psychosis.]


Poor you.

And that's enough pity.

F*CK you.

F*ck you and the horse you rode in on.


[t's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...]


It's not *our* fault you were born so crippled, so lacking in feeling and the ordinary human strengths of cooperation and good conduct. It's not *our* fault you're so frightened of anything different from yourself you have to legislate against it in case it makes you think things about yourself you don't like.


[It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...]


It's not OUR fault you're a fool. It's YOURS.

And we are not here to pick up the tab for you. We are not here to be responsible for both your behavior and our own. Why should we pay for your inability to cast aside your blindfolds and chains? You put them there! Only you can remove them.


[I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.]


I'm all for tolerance and cooperation, but only with people who, recognizing my position, will reciprocate. I have no time for people who simply take advantage of my good nature.


[So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?]


Great rant. I can't wait until the all have to hide in caves in shame for what they've done.


[You can share a padded cave with DUmmie baby_mouse.]


I think it's going to take something pretty catastrophic to remove them from power in a way that actually results in that. All sorts of things have come and gone and been brushed off that really should have sunk them long ago.


[Why don’t you TRY the Bolshevik Revolution you keep thinking about, DUmmie baby_mouse.]


This type of talk just cheapens this board and makes us all look like frothing at the mouth crazies.


[And this DUmmies wins a mouth frothing Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]


It's neither cheap nor crazy. It's dead on righteous.


[I don’t know about cheap but crazy…DEFINITELY.]


But if things should turn I hope our rage veterans can comedown again to the decent dialog necessary among frail and fallible human beings. The rant includes these sentiments I believe.


[Didn’t I see you wearing a “Rage Veteran” cap?]


I liked your rant though I am quite sure that the nasty people that this was directed at will need a Webster's collegiate dictionary. Nevertheless, their pea brains may explode before they reach the second paragraph. It's all good.


[We exploded in laughter by the second paragraph. It’s all hilarious.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-05-05 ("We're looking for *1000* committed DUers for the DU Activist Corps")


Good news! The DUmmies are stepping up from being mere Web Whiners and putting themselves FRONT and CENTER in the battle for the next Supreme Court Justice as you can see in this THREAD titled, “We're looking for *1000* committed DUers for the DU Activist Corps,” authored by DUmmie Skinner himself. So am I being merely sarcastic when I say this is GOOD NEWS? No. It is good news because much as the professional Democrats try to avoid the embarrassment of being associated with the DUmmies, this time around they can’t avoid it. Yes, Democrats. Meet DUmmie Mopaul the lunatic and DUmmie benburch who threatened to murder Freeper franksolich. Oh, you folks in the public see a DUmmie named IndianaGreen? “Gee. He calls himself a concerned progressive and with that screen name he must be concerned about the environment.” Then perhaps you should read this IndianaGreen RANT about Americans soon wanting to jump on rafts and float to Cuba “seeking freedom and democracy.” Almost all the DUmmie antics are chronicled here in the DUmmie FUnnies. Therefore whenever the DUmmies get more prominent in the news it is GOOD NEWS for the DUFUs since we are right on their tail. In fact, I look upon the DUFUs as a clearinghouse library for DUmmie lunacy. EVERY journalist reporting on the DUmmie antics in the forthcoming Supreme Court fight WILL be contacted by YOURS TRULY with information gathered here about the REAL FACE of the DUmmies behind their public masks. This edition leads off with a self-important pronouncement by DUmmie Skinner in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, promising that the DUFUs will be the Blog of Record about the DUmmies, is in the [brackets]:


We're looking for *1000* committed DUers for the DU Activist Corps


[Oh Boy! The DUmmie Troopers are forming! Do they get Secret Decoder Rings that decipher “IHOP,” “MIHOP,” and “BFEE?”]


As I'm sure you are all aware, the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor marks the beginning of what will likely be a massive battle over who will take her place. It is a battle in which Democratic Underground intends to play a role. As one of the more moderate members of the court, O'Connor has been the deciding vote for numerous extremely important court decisions. Her successor could tip the balance of power for years to come.


[BEAUTIFUL!!! The DUmmies are stepping up to the plate…and the DUmmie FUnnies will be letting the country know just what kind of loons they are via THEIR OWN WORDS as chronicled in 300+ editions of the DUmmie FUnnies.]


After four years of building this website from nothing into the most popular liberal discussion forum, it is time for us to be more active in helping our members become political activists. We had long hoped that by bringing such a large group of people together, a significant level of activism would occur spontaneously without our help. This has happened on occasion, and our members have contributed to many important causes, but too much of the process is left to chance. The time has come for some official organization.


[Such a shame, Skinner. Most of the time the “activism” of the DUmmies is really nothing more than banging the keyboard in the eerie glow of a monitor screen in a dark corner of their parents’ basements.]


We start in a good position, because we've got thousands of people here every day -- somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 people visit Democratic Underground on a typical day. But we face a number of challenges. I believe our two biggest obstacles have been the following: 1) This place is so large that most requests for activism get lost in the shuffle; and 2) Many members feel that there is no guarantee that anyone else will take action, so it seems pointless to spend time doing stuff yourself.


[Give me some credit, Skinner, for sending a large chunk of the visitors your way. What happens is that when NORMAL folks read the DUmmie rantings in Bolshevik Red in the DUmmie FUnnies, they can’t quite believe someone actually posted those rabid outbursts so they have to follow the DUmmie link provided to check your asylum for themselves.]


I don't think we can overcome these obstacles by simply posting stuff and saying "Hey everybody! Do this now!" We need to do more.


[Hurry! Hurry! Gather some more evidence of vote stealing in Ohio. We need it to make a court filing and overturn the election. Hey everybody! Do this now!]


With this in mind, today we are proposing the creation of the Democratic Underground Activist Corps. The idea is simple: Identify and bring together the members of our community who are willing to make a personal commitment to activism. Only after we have a critical mass of people who have made that personal commitment, we can start the hard work of actually trying to make a difference. We could eventually bring together thousands of people, but I think the minimum number necessary to make this worthwhile is 1000.


[DUmmieland reached critical mass long ago, Skinner, and already achieved Mental Meltdown.]


If you are not willing to make a serious commitment to activism, please do not sign up. We are looking for people who are ready and willing to "sign on the dotted line," to make a personal commitment to do your part in the actions of the DU Activist Corps.


[Can I get me a DUmmie Trooper camo uniform? Huh Skinner? Huh? Huh?]


The Activism & Events forum has been renamed as the "DU Activist Headquarters" and it has been moved to the top of the Admin Picks section of the Forum Lobby, Latest, and Greatest Pages. The DU Activist Headquarters will serve as ground zero for discussion of all things related to activism, and will give members an area to propose and discuss possible activism by Activist Corps. When an official action for the Activist Corps is agreed upon, one of the DU Administrators will post a thread in the Activist Headquarters and pin it to the top of that forum. (We understand that our members are busy and do not have unlimited time to devote to activism. We will be respectful of your time when new actions are posted -- probably once every few days.)


[Let me guess. Pied Piper Pitt is going to try to appoint himself a general in the DUmmie Troopers.]


Once an Official Action thread has been posted in the Activist Headquarters, every registered member of the DU Activist Corps will be sent a private message and/or email message to let you know that it is there. Each Official Action will have clear instructions, and a clear deadline.


[Oooh! Oooh! Official Action threads and an Activist Headquarters! Oooh! I feel such a chill going down my spine!]


When you have completed the action, you should return to the Activist Headquarters and register that you are done. We will have a function set up to handle this member reporting, which will likely work on the honor system. The system will keep a running total of who has taken action.


[DUmmie Faye…Here is your Official Action Assignment---pick up pizza and beer. When you have completed this action, if you haven’t slobbered it all down first, you should return to the Activist Headquarters. And wipe those pizza stains from your armpits.]


When you report back that you have completed a particular action, a permanent notation will be added to your personal Activist Profile (which will be linked from your DU member profile). Each member of the DU Activist Corps will have a permanent record of each action they participated in.


[You must FOLLOW ORDERS!!! If you do not, you won’t get any brownie points and eternal shame will follow you unto the end of time.]


We are considering possibly giving members of the DU Activist Corps a special notation on their profile and/or posts, indicating that they are registered members of the Activist Corps. If a member stops participating in the Activist Corps for an extended period of time, they may lose their designation as an Activist Corps member. (They can easily join again when they are ready to do so.) We are still working out some of the details.


[Why not just go all the way and assign DUmmie Trooper ranks?… Make me CAPTAIN! Please Skinner! I wanna be CAPTAIN!!!]


That's how it's going to work. Now, all we need are 1000 committed DU activists!


[But first you must get 1000 DUmmies total. Remember tombstoned DUmmies and LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS don’t count so attaining that number will be difficult. And now the rest of the DUmmies will provide us with the comedy lines…]


Praise the Lord and pass the ammo, lets get this shit done!


[DUmmie AUYellowDog, your Official Action assignment is to continue sitting on your toilet seat to “get this shit done!”]


I'm in! I've been doing this sort of thing all along, anyway. I hesitated to sign up at first because I was afraid it might entail going to events or something that I just don't have time for with my schedule. Now that I've been reassured on that count, I'm in!


[Have no fear, DUmmie silverweb. You have Special Dispensation to continue being a lazy ass and just sit in front of your computer monitor while under the delusion that you are actually doing something useful.]


I've never been passive. But I've never thought of myself as an activist before. Can you give me an idea how much of a commitment it will take. I have some money I can donate (not much), and I have some time to write letters and e-mails. I'd like to take part, but I don't want to join and then drop the ball.


[Don’t worry, DUmmie wryter2000. You may continue being as lazy as DUmmie silverweb. Just send you money to Skinner c/o Andy Stephenson. Oh and you can slouch out of doing REAL WORK by sending out a few useless e-mails.]


We intend to be respectful of members's schedules. We will not ask you to do something every day. If it's something simple (say, voting in an online poll) then time shouldn't be an issue. But if it's something that requires a little more time (writing a letter to the editor) we would only ask every week or so.


[How much time will it take to hang around outside the Senate Judiciary Committee Room and screech like lunatics, Skinner?]


Would this involve online activism (emails, petition signing, etc.) or protesting, going to events, etc.? Or is it both?


[Translation: Please don’t assign me to real work by telling me to do something offline.]


At the moment, we have no plans for this to include events or protesting.


[Somehow I have the feeling this will lead to offline rabid droolings outside of Senate Committee Rooms. World…Meet the DUmmies!]


can you give some examples of the types of actions that will be requested? each person will have different strengths to offer any activism and i for one, know that i am willing to do whatever i can to influence the outcome of the coming battle but i want to make sure that i can fulfill the commitment if i were to sign up.


[Your Official Action Assignment, DUmmie shugah, is to clean the DUmmie Latrine…with your tongue,


If it can be done from home. I’m in.


[And if I have to step one foot from my front door. I’m out.]


As long as I don't have to walk, I'm in.


[God forbid you move your lazy ass one foot forward. Too much work.]


Shouldn't there be some kind of a filter to ensure that there aren't saboteurs involved in this?


[Hee! Hee!]


have people agree to a short CONTRACT agreeing not to be a freeper


[Yeah. Now that’s a workable plan. Oh, and I’m not a freeper. Honest.]


I'm ready to do whatever it takes. I've been stewing in my own anger and fear since I found out about O'Connor's resignation. If I don't take this energy and direct it to actual action I will most likely go insane at this point.


[You’ve long since passed the point of insanity.]


Would you be interested in linking your efforts to PDA? I can wire your corps and our corps together.


[Pied Piper Pitt, you can take Skinner's complete NON-response to trying to hog in on the action as a cold shouldered reply in the negative. Apparently Skinner still hasn’t forgiven you for being Scamdy’s chief cheerleader in his Wire Fraud at DUmmieland.]


Great idea!! I've just signed up...what's my first assignment!


[Your first assignment? STFU!]


As an aside, I've been wanting to apologize for never having donated; I'm going to school now (at age 46) because I was laid off (2 days after the election). Even though I'm a secretary, I was classified as a Trade Affected Worker, which made me eligible for retraining. It's my 3rd layoff since the shrub was installed the first time. In other words, I'm kinda broke and likely to be for another 2 years, while I'm in school. It's got the up side that in 2 years I'll have a paralegal degree, but it will take some determination on my part.


[Just curious but do you know how to wipe your tush?]


Will the letters that we are asked to write have talking points ? So we are all on the same topic.


[The talking points are from the DNC so if you miss receiving them here just tape them from the news of either ABC, CBS, or NBC.]


That's why we have to be committed.


[You’ve definitely been committed, DUmmie sfexpat2000.]

DUmmie FUnnies 07-01-05 (Fireworks EXPLODE Over Scamdy In DUmmieland)


The biggest fireworks you’ll be seeing this long weekend might not be those in the sky on July 4. That fireworks display already looks like it will pale into comparison with the EXPLOSIONS now firing up the DUmmieland arena over the Scamdy situation as you can see 20 posts down this THREAD titled, “Andy Stephenson still hospitalized.” At first, this thread is nothing more than Freepers sending out their “get wells” to Scamdy (notably ABSENT from these well wishers is Pied Piper Pitt who continues to cold shoulder the Round Red One). However, the fireworks in this thread really begin with DUmmie AMAZONA who dares to question the prevailing DUmmie dogma concerning Scamdy. So let us open the scene now with Post #20 by DUmmie unhappycamper who unknowingly opens a HUGE can of worms with his inquiry into the financing of Scamdy’s ailments. What follows are fireworks of such explosive force that they threaten to do great damage to the foundations of DUmmieland itself. So break out your brewskis and picnic baskets and enjoy the DUmmie fireworks in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the explosions in awe, is in the [brackets]:


How are we doin on the $$$ front?


Thanx for lighting the fireworks, DUmmie unhappycamper. Now standby for the explosions soon to follow.]


Andy is pretty much broke.


[Really DUmmie benburch? Let’s see… Scamdy has about $250,000 equity on a house worth about $400,000. He invested $70,000 in gold about 3 years ago. I figure Scamdy is worth about a half million dollars. The only one broke here, DUmmie benburch, is going to be you for threatening to kill franksolich. Let’s see… I figure franksolich will now have to ask for police protection due to you asking your fellow DUmmies to kill him. Therefore the cost of protection for franksolich should come out of YOUR pocket.]


I have not asked Skinner for permission to do any fund raising, and in fact have been waiting for the doctor's plan to see what's up. Andy is covered by Medicaid in WA. There are some things he needs that aren't covered. Hopefully today I can get all my factoids in the same linear sequence.


[Hmm, DUmmie sfexpat2000. If Scamdy is covered by Medicaid in WA then why did he need to travel all the way to MD for his non-pancreatic cancer operation?]



please no more fund-raising here. Too many bad feelings as it is. An attorney should have set up a bank account to receive donations long ago. At this time we still don't have any accountability as to where the money is going.


[STOP IT! STOP IT DUmmie Amazona! You’re making too much sense!]


I was emailed these posts that Andy supposedly made in October 2002.


[Let us take a look, shall we, Amazona?]


With my income in the high four figures, I don't appreciate that I was asked for money (and sent money) for an heir to $70,000, pretty much an undreamed-of sum for me.


[So Scamdy could have paid for his non-pancreatic cancer operation out of his own pocket and still have at least $20,000 to spare.]


In fairness to everyone who feels that they were misled about the need, please no more individual fund-raising on DU. I don't doubt that Andy is ill, and I hope he gets well soon, but I don't think it is right that the money has not been accounted for. People who pretend to be his friends, yet do not insist that he get proper legal assistance in handling his fund-raising and the funds, are not being a friend to him in the long run. He cannot be an effective spokesperson for anything if he is embroiled in an investigation or a trial for possible mis-use or diversion of some of the funds.


[Scamdy diverting the “cancer” funds for his own personal use? GASP! Who could suspect such a thing of poor Scamdy? You’re such a skeptic, Amazona.]


Forgive me for speaking up, but we were told that this issue was NOT to be discussed on DU...and for exactly this reason. Every time the issue is raised, people start dropping hints to raise more $$$ and the lack of proper legal paperwork again arises.


[Scamdy is just $10 away from completing his post-operative recuperation.]


I don't know how to do a screenshot but the text of the posts were as followed, both by Andy. Here's October 16, 2002:


[Pay attention all you prosecuting attorneys out there!]


"But I don't comment too often as I am a dummy when it comes to high finance. Hell I even have trouble balancing the old checkbook. Seriously though...I need all the help I can get. I have an inheritance coming in soon...about 70k and I want to secure it instead of corporate "wrong doers" taking it away. What should I do? I'm so afraid...Why did they have to go and leave me any money in the first place. No I will fret over what I am gonna do. Put it in the bank? Stocks? Gold? the matress??? I'm so confused."


[Oh poor me! 70 big ones plopped on my lap. Whatever shall I do? Woe is me!]


The other was the day before, October 15, 2002:


"I have been buying gold on the dips...I am real worried about the JP MOrgan derivatives problem and am using gold as a hedge. Do you see gold going higher still...Or are we in a bear market? I am so bugged over this. Thank God I got out of the market at the top. Now I am firmly in the gold camp. SO what do I do? God has advisors you know!"


[I am smothered in money. Dear God, why hast thou burdened me so?]


Amazona, I think you'd missed a couple of months worth of updates. And will review briefly for your information.

1. We had NO time to hire an attorney or set up a special account last April.


[Yeah, it might have taken you all of ONE day to do this. DUmmie sfexpat2000, you’re always such a bundle of laughs when it comes to thinking up lame excuses.]


2. Since then, an apparatus has been set up.


[And I’ll bet you’re the apparatchick, DUmmie sfexpat2000.]


3. Not only do we have accountability, we have TRANSCRIPTS of the last fundraiser, and it is now registered in WA state.


[You were tape recording the DUmmie pleas posted here for Scamdy? I’d like to read, er, hear, er, read those transcripts.]


If you have any further concerns, and it's likely you will, you need to take them to the Admins.


[Or find the answer in google. That’s the usual reply, DUmmie sfexpat2000.]


And the only part of this that is not to be discussed on DU is the false claim of fraud, which has been laid to rest except by a handful of freepers how have been stalking Andy from sickbed to sickbed.


[Silly false claim that has now been laid to rest despite the mystifying weight GAIN by Scamdy all though his terrible ordeal with “pancreatic cancer.”]


I agree with the poster Amazona. After what has happened here, many have found this fundraiser to be disturbing due to the chaos and questioning it has raised.


[Careful there, DUmmie Malva Zebrina. You’re entering Tombstone Territory for asking sane questions.[


Andy was the keeper of the books for Bev Harris. Andy ran for office in his state, and as such, raised funds and had to account for those funds. Surely Andy himself was informed and completely aware of what needed to be done as far a raising funds goes. I find it difficult ot believe that people did not have one inkling as to how to be upfront about the fundraiser, and blithly believe that no one would think the manner in which it was done was questionable.


[Scamdy only had three months to prepare the fundraiser. Not enough time to establish an accountable fundraising process, DUmmie Malva Zebrina.]


And, there is still no accounting at all as to how much this fundraiser raised for this cause. Further, someone said on one of the threads at one time that anything that is left over will be used for the cause, or something similar to that. People who gave money to Andy to help him get the needed medical care, may not necessarily want to give to the "cause", you know. People deserve a full accounting, and it is funnyj, but I remember saying the same thing about Bev Harris and her fundraiser on one of those threads after she was tombstoned.


[But don’t you understand, DUmmie Malva Zebrina, that extra money is going to a great cause---‘cause Scamdy wants a whole bunch of $400,000 home improvements.]


Please, can you tell me how much money was raised? Can Andy? It would do a lot toward helping any further fundraisers -- not only here, but everywhere that people are being asked to donate money. People need to be aware of the pitfalls.


[Scamdy will be happy to tell you how much money he raised just as soon as he receives enough funds to hire a bookkeeper. Won’t you help, DUmmie Malva Zebrina?]


We raised $51,134.63. And please see my reply to "Amazona", as well as the fundraising threads -- especially before you misquote me or anyone else again. If you have further questions, you can direct them to the Admins or to the WA secretary of State.


[Nice touch there, DUmmie sfexpat2000, with that 63 cents at the end of your figure. So convincing. BTW, you forgot to say that any answer can be found in Google. That’s the standard DUmmie reply to tough questions.]


I have already said that Andy was well aware of what the protocals are for fundraising having had the experience of working with Bev Harris and being her keeper of the record. He also was well aware of the protocols having run for office and raised funds for his run and having to account for those funds raised. That he did not relay that information to you or anyone, is somewhat suspicious to me and others. Andy knew about fund raising through experience, so I do not buy it that it was all done in innocence.


[Poor innocent Scamdy. How can one NOT trust him, DUmmie Malva Zebrina?]


It would be far more honorable and od more for Andy or any fundraisers in the future, if you would fess up and confess that the way you and others, approached this, was not in the best of professionalism.


[But…but DUmmie sfexpat2000 said there were TRANSCRIPTS. And she has the EXACT figure for the amount of money raised. $51,134.63. Not $51,134.62 or $51,134.64 but $51,134.63.]


Threads dealing with this fundraiser here were erased forcing many left up in the air with questions still not resolved, to go to the "other" sites in order to get any information at all. Or we received information via e-mail from others who were aware of information that was not allowed to be posted here.


[Skinner sent those threads down the DUmmieland Memory Pitt. All mention of “pancreatic cancer” has been VERBOTEN.]


The threads were never erased, as a matter of fact, that is the wonderful thing about the fund raiser - we have A COMPLETE transcript of the days activities.


[Oceana is at war with Eastasia. Oceana has ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia.]


the harm that has been done is the inability of honest persons to ask questions and the villification of those who asked reasonable questions by a gang of cursing, accusatory persons in charge of the fundraiser. You do not know or not aware of the harm that has been done for future fundraisers. When people ask questions, and are accused of murder, well I have to tell you that the fringe element has done a whole lot of harm to those sincere persons who demand a little professionalism when it comes to collecting money from persons. And, those who are interested in justice and keeping order to fundraising activity, will pursue that justice for the long run. You have put a blight on any fundraising activity for the future with this Keystone Kops approach.


[I think we can all pretty much agree that $500,000 man, Scamdy, has pretty much poisoned the well for future DUmmieland fundraisers for those REALLY in need. $400,000 peons need NOT apply.]


Someone also NEEDS to be accountable and there is NO ONE who is willing to take on the responsibility.


[Looking for accountability and responsibility in DUmmieland is pretty much a waste of time.]


We still do NOT know how much money was collected. Do you have the concrete figures? No one does, except for Andy and so, we do NOT know. And I think we deserve to know.


[DUmmie sfexpat2000 has already given us the EXACT amount: $51,134.63. Case closed. No further need to inquire or think.]


If it's good enough for the State of WA, and the IRS, it will just have to be good enough for you.


[Thus spaketh DUmmie sfexpat2000. Case closed. NO further thinking is necessary…nor wanted.]


Merh can someone ban this Malva "thing" It does nothing but stir up trouble and refuses to accept any proof of anything it questions.


[DUmmie Malva Zebrina MUST be tombstoned. The asking of rational questions can NOT be allowed in DUmmieland.]


so, how much was raised? Do you know? and if you do, how do you know, Merh?


[There you go asking those annoying rational questions again, DUmmie Malva Zebrina.]


I was on the phone talking with Andy when I saw this thread...He sounds 100 percent better than yesterday and so relieved with the good news.


[ANOTHER miracle cure for Scamdy. Benny Hinn must have laid his hands upon him.]





DUmmie FUnnies 07-01-05 ("Two Cases of Bile"--- DUmmies Discuss Scamdy Article)


It has been somewhat quiet on the Andy Stephenson front during the past month of June but here it is the beginning of July and the Scamdy scandal is breaking out all over again. The latest outbreak is in the Seattle Weekly magazine as you can see in this ARTICLE titled, “Two Cases of Bile” which is also the title of this DUmmie THREAD discussing the article. I urge everybody out there to read this Seattle Weekly article in that it provides great laughs in the Whitewash Dept.. Most particularly this line from the article, “’He has pancreatic cancer,’ says Johnson.” So is Johnson some qualified physician finally giving us assurance of the true nature of Scamdy’s condition? Nope. Johnson was a nurse practitioner who became a primary care provider for Scamdy. I think I have problems with my kidneys so I guess I’ll be consulting a nurse practitioner for a diagnosis. As usual the gullible DUmmie weepings (sans any commentary from Pied Piper Pitt or Skinner) is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if the Scamdy fraud trial will take place in Washington state or Maryland, is in the [brackets]:


Good article from a good paper. Would freerepublic raise 50,000 dollars if one of them needed it? I doubt it.


[Gullible article from a gullible paper. The Free Republic would NOT allow the recipient of medical funds to receive $50,000 without the slightest bit of accountability as your gullible Skinner has done.]


It would never occur to them to do so Personal responsibility and all that sort of thing!


[Personal ACCOUNTABILITY and all that sort of thing. Skinner allowed DUmmieland to be scammed by a con artist ONCE AGAIN.]


No one ever claimed to be professional fund raisers.


[And DUmmieland is certainly an amateur act thanx to Skinner. It’s gonna be a lot of fun watching both Skinner and Pied Piper Pitt sweating bullets on the witness stand during the Scamdy trial.]


think someone else said this - it was really DU's finest hour. The freepers must be jealous.


[The Freepers are jealous that you put on a better comedy act than anything they could come up with. The way you DUmmies were so easily SCAMMED is a comedy act that is hard to top.]


I hope we can finally end this controversy.


[Pied Piper Pitt certainly does since his worrying over this scandal has caused him to stay awake since April.]


I don't get it. How can this Grady guy claim that Andy "defrauded" anyone if the money was given freely and voluntarily for a medical emergency that has been confirmed and surgery that has been performed?


[Um…Duhhhh!!! Maybe because Scamdy claimed to have pancreatic cancer in order to raise big bucks when he really suffered from something different which did NOT necessitate surgery at Johns Hopkins.]


I never quite understood the Bev Harris thing.


[It’s simple. She scammed you DUmmies and then her assistant, Andy, turned around and scammed you AGAIN.]


I don't get it, either...I believe the ones of us who contributed to Andy were more concerned with getting his surgery done in time to worry too much about how professional the fund raising was.


[Yeah, it’s really “tough” to simply have a third party, such as Skinner, collect the money for Scamdy.]


Hold the flames, but… Something about the article doesn't quite read right, although the generally sorry state of medical reporting could be the cause. My cousin died of pancreatic cancer a few years ago and I spent weeks on the Internet trying to find something, anything, that offered hope. But pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed only after it has already metastasized. No one has ever been confirmed as surviving metastasized pancreatic cancer. Never heard of treating it with radiation, and I think that surgery is fairly rare. Often the only treament is a chemo protocal know as Gemzar(sp?), which only provides comfort, not recovery.



[And this DUmmie WINS an Andy Stephenson Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity for realizing that something is not quite right about this article.]


don't believe his has metastasized and when it comes to pancreatic cancer, they are continuing to make strides. His tumor was encapsulated.


[Skinner has been encapsulating any mention of “pancreatic cancer” in DUmmieland and tombstoning it.]


Fred Grady has been exposed as a Moran and that will follow him for the rest of his life. Does the idiot still have his web site up?



[Yes. http://www.scamdy.com. Visit it and you might learn something. And the threads in the discussion forum are NOT locked as Skinner tends to down when “pancreatic cancer” is mentioned too much in DUmmieland.]


I suppose now that it is proven Andy has cancer they will accuse us of stealing a tumour and implanting it in Andy.


[A nurse practitioner diagnosed pancreatic cancer. I’m CONVINCED!!!]


Because the Freepers want Andy to die. I'm now convinced that that is the reason.


[Actually we want Andy to LIVE and testify In court as to how easily he scammed the DUmmies with the aide of the incredibly gullible Skinner and that hapless cheerleading fool, Pied Piper Pitt.]


Why would someone pay for a site just to attack Andy and his friends? That is what blew me away.. that this accountant fellow (freeper) would actually spend his own money to take out a website like that. Does that man not have any clients? Hope his clients realize what a putz he is and what a bad head for money he apparently has.


[Maybe he wants the world to know how easily conned the DUmmies were by scam artist Andy.]


Do you think this article will help shut them up? It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Andy really does have cancer, did have surgery and is still recovering. You would think this would be the end of scamdy.


[Only the end of the beginning of Scamdy. Now the fun begins as more spotlight is shined on Andy’s scam. As to it proving “beyond a shadow of doubt” that Andy had pancreatic cancer, are you in the habit of turning to nurse practitioners for a medical diagnosis of something that could be life threatening?]


Fantastic journalism. Obviously this kind of journalism can only be done these days at an independent weekly, since it doesn't manufacture moral equivalence between Andy and the jackals who accuse him of faking his cancer. The reporter actually did the hard work of seeing for himself. My best to Mr Stephenson for a speedy recovery.


[That reporter deserves a Pulitzer Prize for going no further than a nurse practitioner to obtain a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer for Scamdy.]


I think I may just go visit Stanton. Who wants to come along? When we get there we can play baseball. So bring your bat! We could also go pheasant hunting along the way, so bring your shotgun and some birdshot. And then we can take Mr. Grady out for coffee and settle our differences in a civilized manner. Sounds like a fun trip, no?


[Sounds like a death threat, yes? And it WILL be used as evidence at your trial, Dummie benburch. I repeat, DUmmie benburch.]


They keep harping on the "Three Questions" Well here's my answer WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU TO DEMAND AN ANSWER TO ANYTHING YOU FREEPER SCUMBAGS?!?! WHAT DOES ANDY OWE YOU AN EXPLANATION FOR?


[LOL!!! Ignorance, thy name is DUmmie.]


I'm in the second group.

”Another group appears to be people who are rightfully concerned about Internet scams.”

And I think there's a lot of people in this group with me.


[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]


are you saying you think this was a scam?


[DUhhhhh!!!]


Left-Wing Web site? whoever wrote that doesn't read this site very carefully...


[LOL!!! FUnniest DUmmie line of the week!]


f*ck cancer, and f*ck freepers... I didn't know Andy had had complications. I hope he is feeling and doing better soon, and isn't listening to all the negative crap. I don't care one bit that this wasn't done the usual way, it was an unusual circumstance, with little to no time to plan. I was happy to donate, and still am happy I did.


[I don’t care that Andy scammed me and I would be happy to be conned again!]


I'm not completely up to date on what's going on, but I do know that I stumbled upon a post by WilliamPitt that was demanding answers from Andy because, according to him, the whipple procedure was not done. Has the story changed?


[Pied Piper Pitt “cleared” it up by posting a FAX document from late April claiming that Scamdy’s “pancreatic cancer” surgery was scheduled for the week of May 23 even though at the time of the FAX, the surgery was scheduled for early May and wasn’t rescheduled until AFTER the FAX was sent. Oh, and this is one big reason why Pitt has been completely SILENT about Scamdy recently. I notice that Pitt didn’t even sign on to Scamdy’s get well card in DUmmieland.]
