DUmmie FUnnies 03-31-06 ("I am so sick of him")

The melodramatic anti-Bush rant is a staple of DUmmie entertainment. The more histrionics involved in the rant, the more the humor value. Therefore this DUmmie THREAD titled, "I am so sick of him," ranks right up there in delivering the laughs. Yes, woe after woe in DUmmie donsu's miserable life is attributed to the mere existence of George W. Bush. Added to the fun here is the DUmmie chorus who chime in with similar woes all blamed, of course, on Bush. So let us view the DUmmies made miserable by Bush in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who is blaming a shaving cut on Chester A. Arthur, is in the [brackets]:

Subject: I am so sick of him

[So do you suffer from B.I.T.S. or PEST or both?]

I am so sick of him. So utterly, completely, sick of him. Mentally, psychologically, spiritually and yes, physically, sick of him. So sick of him that every morning when my homepage opens up to BuzzFlash and the first thing I see is those beady, evil eyes, I have to quickly scroll down the page so I don't have to look at him. So sick of him that the sound of that petulant, whiny, defensive, ignorant voice creates a visceral, immediate reaction and I have to change the radio station. So utterly disgusted by him that three years ago I gave away my television in order to cut down on the number of intrusions per day by news media talking about him him him him him.

[Just the fact that Bush even exists causes you to soil your diaper daily.]

I am sick to death of the lies. A constant, daily barrage of lies that never ceases to amaze me with its blatant, arrogant confidence that yes, here is a lie, folks, and I just dare you to call me on it. And guess what? NO ONE dares. Not one single Democrat, Progressive, or conservative politician has dared to stand up and say, "You are a liar. A murderous liar. And we will not stand for your lies another minute." Only Cindy Sheehan has dared to call him a liar and ask for the truth. For which she has been vilified, and has, of course, received no answer.

[Oh how you yearn for the days of the ALWAYS TRUTHFUL Bill Clinton.]

The murder, the slaughter, the explosions, the maiming, the blood enrage me, the absolute horror of a so-called war brought about by the mere whim of this empty shell of a human being of him. How sick, how tired, how hopelessly futile is my inability to do anything to stop this nightmare. How sick I am of feeling this rage. I am so sick of him!

[You are less than a piece of Cosmic laundry lint in the vast Navel of Existence. Give up, NOW!!!]

I am psychologically affected by my worry about the future that awaits my child. I am tired of waking up in the middle of the night after dreams of Armageddon brought about by a cackling sociopath who prays for the 'honor' of bringing about the End Times that he believes is his destiny.

[You have nightly dreams of Armageddon and yet you attack Bush for being a cackling sociopath?]

I am shocked by my rage. I am a peaceful person. I am a lover. A mother. A sister. A good friend. I volunteer. I raise money for those less fortunate. But I hate him. Yes I do. I hate his guts and everything he says and does. I have never hated anyone in my life. But I do hate him. And for those who say they don't hate the man but hate his actions, I say, I hate the man and I hate his actions, because they are one and the same. You are what you do. And he is Hitler reincarnated. He is a mass murderer. He is an empty shell, void of humanity. And he deserves to be hated, and I do hate him. And I do not have a problem with that.

[Hold on to your insane rage. It is providing the NORMAL people with lots of comedic entertainment.]

I feel hopeless and powerless. Each day I talk myself into working so hard to make my living, and most of all, working so hard to show my child that Life is Beautiful and we should be grateful, because we do have so much. We are healthy, we have a nice place to live and good food to eat and people who love us. And we have each other.

[Let's see... You are healthy, have a nice place to live, eating good food, and surrounded by people who love you. But you DAMN Bush for making you miserable...in your mind. Are you also haunted by leperchauns?]

But when I see God's beautiful planet being destroyed by this stupid, stupid man-boy, this swaggering bully without one ounce of conscience or Love of Life, I am so afraid for the future and for my child. And I am so tired of that fear.

[The frightening thing here is that YOU are the one hard-wiring your kid's mind with your BIZARRE outlook on life.]

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Well, fear is here. Brought to you by him, and him alone. His cult of personality has set the entire world against us, and we have good reason to fear.

[Speaking of cult of personality...Are you sure this rant isn't directed at Li'l Kim of North Korea?]

I am so sick of him.

[Yeah, I think we get that point by now.]

A BuzzFlash Reader

[NewzFlash! Your Divorce from Reality has gone been accomplished. And now to read similar histrionics from your fellow DUmmies...]

It is tragic that our country has a president that evokes these feelings.

[Somebody is psychopathic and it is somehow Bush's fault!!!]

Not only the country, but the world. And possibly an undiscovered planet or two.

[It is BUSH'S FAULT not only here but on other planets and out into the rest of the galaxy as well.]

I could have written that and not have changed a single word.

[In that case, you get to share the Rubber Room with DUmmie donsu.]

I somehow feel better just knowing people feel the same way, not much better, but anything helps at this point. I too am worried sick about my kids and what Bushworld has in store for them.

[I feel so much better knowing that there are other people as mentally disturbed as I am.]

Many of us think he is complicit in 911 and that the last three elections have been corrupt. Yes I know, hard to believe.
I'd hate him without those two suspicions though. In the 90's I thought things were going relatively well. George W. was like a baseball bat to my face.

[Stand by for your daily whack in the face with the George W. Slugger Special.]

I'm talking FEELINGS--why are so many of you hating Bush so much it's virtually ruining your life, your peace of mind, your kindness toward strangers, or anyone you think veers even slightly toward the right? Most of you are not unkind people--not at all! But I see so much unkindness here! I'd NEVER let a president do that to me!

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

You see, that is the thing that makes Democrats different than the GOP. We happen to think beyond ourselves, our lives, and our country -- beyond our own self interest to see how our actions and our government's actions impact others. We feel the injustice, we feel the pain, and we feel the horror.

[Uh-Oh! Your Smug Cloud is about to collide with the George Clooney Smug Cloud.]

I have never felt hatred or anger like I feel towards little lord pissy pants. I can't stand to look at him, I can't stand to listen to him, and I am sick of being lied to by this piece of shit.

[Shall we increase your Lithium dosage?]

Instead of all the sackcloth & ashes make sure the next election
sees a democratic nominee who can actually win more than 16 states. This party needs a reality check.

[Karl Rove says you really need to send a check to Hillary.]

I wonder if we could file a class action suit against him for
emotional distress???

[A case destined to be LAUGHED out of court...except for the Ninth Circuit Court.]

Bush is GOING DOWN!! He may well face the death penalty and his families dynasty will go down in history as the cause of near extinction of the human specie.

[Thank you for that piece of fecie.]

I'm getting sicker by the day of all this bushit. I'm waiting for more people to wake the f*ck up. Just seething right now.

[Seeth away until you EXPLODE!!!]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-30-06 (Pitt SMEARS Ronald Reagan On 25th Assassination Attempt Anniversary)

This SMEAR of Ronald Reagan was originally written by William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt on June 7, 2004 just TWO DAYS after the President's death. Right in the middle of the Reagan Funeral, when crowds appeared in record numbers to show pay their respects to the recently departed President, Pied Piper Pitt felt impelled to toss this Smear Bomb on the Web. Like many other Leftists, Pitt just couldn't stand the fact that Reagan was and STILL IS overwhelming popular with the public. Therefore, Pitt dipped his pen in poison in a Pittiful attempt to bring down the memory of the beloved President. Of course, Pitt's Smear Job got lost at the time in the midst of the ENORMOUS outpouring of genuine love bestowed upon Ronaldus Magnus. However, now I see that Pitt has REPOSTED his SMEAR on Reagan today. But why today? I couldn't figure it out until I realized that today is the 25th anniversary of the failed assassination attempt on Reagan on March 30, 1981. Great timing, Pitt. Since few paid attention to your missive of Hate in 2004, you felt the need to regurgitate it again on this date. The timing is NOT coincidental. Pitt can't get over the fact that Reagan SURVIVED and LED the nation from the malaise of the Jimmy Carter years.

I apologize to anyone in advance if you are offended by Pitt's continuing smear campaign against Reagan but I will make amends by sending this piece (as well as other Pitt lunacies) to the media if I ever get the hint that Pitt is about to board a major political campaign in any capacity. Most likely his Democrat candidates that he hopes to leach off have the same opinion of Reagan as well but they can't afford to ALIENATE the voters when Pitt's shear hatred comes to light. This might surprise you, Pitt, but you ARE expendable. For publishing this smear on Reagan, you are consigned to spend the rest of your life desperately trying to leave the nocturnal confines of the Bukowski's barroom floor. So let us now watch the venom dripping from his pen as Pied Piper Pitt scribbles his HATRED of Ronald Reagan in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, "congratulating" Pitt on his sick timing of this piece, is in the [brackets]]:

Speaking of Ronald Reagan...

[Smearing of Ronald Reagan...]

Planet Reagan
By William Rivers Pitt
t r u t h o u t Perspective

Monday 07 June 2004

["Great timing" there, Pitt. You originally publish this smear on Reagan right in the middle of his funeral just two days after he died and now on the 25th anniversary of the assassination attempt upon him you spew it out, covered with bile, once again.]

Ronald Reagan is dead now, and everyone is being nice to him. In every aspect, this is appropriate. He was a husband and a father, a beloved member of a family, and he will be missed by those he was close to. His death was long, slow and agonizing because of the Alzheimer's Disease which ruined him, one drop of lucidity at a time. My grandmother died ten years ago almost to the day because of this disease, and this disease took ten years to do its dirty, filthy, wretched work on her.

[This is where Pitt pulls out the phony sympathy before sinking in the dagger. Your "sympathy" would have been slightly more believable if you had not included a dopey ballad making fun of Reagan's Alzheimer's Disease along with this piece of venom.]

The dignity and candor of Reagan's farewell letter to the American people was as magnificent a departure from public life as any that has been seen in our history, but the ugly truth of his illness was that he lived on, and on, and on. His family and friends watched as he faded from the world of the real, as the simple dignity afforded to all life collapsed like loose sand behind his ever more vacant eyes. Only those who have seen Alzheimer's Disease invade a mind can know the truth of this. It is a cursed way to die.

[Somehow the fact that you included a "ballad" below in which every stanza mocks Reagan's Alzheimer's Disease with this line, "Ronald Reagan is alive but forgetting things," makes you more than a little bit credibility challenged when it comes to your "sympathy."]

In this mourning space, however, there must be room made for the truth. Writer Edward Abbey once said, "The sneakiest form of literary subtlety, in a corrupt society, is to speak the plain truth. The critics will not understand you; the public will not believe you; your fellow writers will shake their heads."

[I'm still waiting to hear the TRUTH of what happened in the dark corners of a certain school in Newton, MA. Now on to the heart of the Pitt smear...]

The truth is straightforward: Virtually every significant problem facing the American people today can be traced back to the policies and people that came from the Reagan administration. It is a laundry list of ills, woes and disasters that has all of us, once again, staring apocalypse in the eye.

[Carter Malaise? REAGAN'S FAULT!!! Carter inflation? REAGAN'S FAULT!!! Carter recession? REAGAN'S FAULT!!!]

How can this be? The television says Ronald Reagan was one of the most beloved Presidents of the 20th century. He won two national elections, the second by a margin so overwhelming that all future landslides will be judged by the high-water mark he achieved against Walter Mondale. How can a man so universally respected have played a hand in the evils which corrupt our days?

[Stand by! Here comes the typical liberal mantra about how Reagan hypnotized a stupid American public into feeling good.]

The answer lies in the reality of the corrupt society Abbey spoke of. Our corruption is the absolute triumph of image over reality, of flash over substance, of the pervasive need within most Americans to believe in a happy-face version of the nation they call home, and to spurn the reality of our estate as unpatriotic. Ronald Reagan was, and will always be, the undisputed heavyweight champion of salesmen in this regard.

[Pitt and his fellow liberals just can't accept the overwhelming popularity of Ronald Reagan. So how to explain it? Simple. The American public are a bunch of idiots who were easily swayed by a slick sales pitch. To show just what absolute contempt Pitt has for the American public allow me to QUOTE Pitt himself in one of his many TEDIOUS essays in which he not so subtly compares the Third Reich to the "Third American Empire.":

It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when the third American empire came into being, but a hockey game will suffice as a marker. On February 2, 1980, the American Olympic hockey team came from nowhere to defeat the unbeatable Soviet squad in Lake Placid. The subsequent eruption of nationalistic fervor, augmented by the American squad’s victory over Finland in the final round to capture the gold medal, led to an outpouring of public emotion that no sporting event had ever created. ]

Reagan was able, by virtue of his towering talents in this arena, to sell to the American people a flood of poisonous policies. He made Americans feel good about acting against their own best interests. He sold the American people a lemon, and they drive it to this day as if it was a Cadillac. It isn't the lies that kill us, but the myths, and Ronald Reagan was the greatest myth-maker we are ever likely to see.

[Yeah. The American people are so STUPID in the Pitt/Liberal theology that they fell for his "sales pitch" despite harming themselves like a bunch of complete idiots. Oh, and here is more of what IDIOTS Pitt thought the American people are in the same tedious essay as above:

It was at Lake Placid that the now-familiar chant of “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” was born. The American people had been well-trained during the second empire to expect being on top, and the years prior to Lake Placid had been hard. Something so simple as a win on that ice was enough to strike sparks again, to ignite the long fuse that has been this third American empire. The American people were mesmerized by the vision of their flag rising next to but just a little higher than the red Soviet banner. It was their first taste of what would become a long and uninterrupted stretch of total global dominance.]

Mainstream media journalism today is a shameful joke because of Reagan's deregulation policies. Once upon a time, the Fairness Doctrine ensured that the information we receive - information vital to the ability of the people to govern in the manner intended - came from a wide variety of sources and perspectives. Reagan's policies annihilated the Fairness Doctrine, opening the door for a few mega-corporations to gather journalism unto themselves. Today, Reagan's old bosses at General Electric own three of the most-watched news channels. This company profits from every war we fight, but somehow is trusted to tell the truths of war. Thus, the myths are sold to us.

[What Alternate Reality is Pied Piper Pitt living in? Today we have MORE news outlets that ever thanks to the Internet. Methinks Pitt is blaming Reagan for the fact that conservatives, like Rush Limbaugh, can now be widely heard. Nobody is stopping liberals from competing but when they do, like with Err America, they BOMB bigtime. And this is somehow Reagan's fault?]

The deregulation policies of Ronald Reagan did not just deliver journalism to these massive corporations, but handed virtually every facet of our lives into the hands of this privileged few. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat are all tainted because Reagan battered down every environmental regulation he came across so corporations could improve their bottom line. Our leaders are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the corporations that were made all-powerful by Reagan's deregulation craze. The Savings and Loan scandal of Reagan's time, which cost the American people hundreds of billions of dollars, is but one example of Reagan's decision that the foxes would be fine guards in the henhouse.

[But...but I thought this is all Bush's fault? Better get your silly Blame Game straight, Pitt. Oh, and my leaky faucet? Reagan's fault!]

Ronald Reagan believed in small government, despite the fact that he grew government massively during his time. Social programs which protected the weakest of our citizens were gutted by Reagan's policies, delivering millions into despair. Reagan was able to do this by caricaturing the "welfare queen," who punched out babies by the barnload, who drove the flashy car bought with your tax dollars, who refused to work because she didn't have to. This was a vicious, racist lie, one result of which was the decimation of a generation by crack cocaine. The urban poor were left to rot because Ronald Reagan believed in 'self-sufficiency.'

[Crack cocaine epidemic? Reagan's fault! And what crack pipe are YOU smoking, Pitt, to come up with that dopey analysis?]

Because Ronald Reagan could not be bothered to fund research into 'gay cancer,' the AIDS virus was allowed to carve out a comfortable home in America. The aftershocks from this callous disregard for people whose homosexuality was deemed evil by religious conservatives cannot be overstated. Beyond the graves of those who died from a disease which was allowed to burn unchecked, there are generations of Americans today living with the subconscious idea that sex equals death.

[Sigh! Another Pitt/Liberal Mantra: A cruel Ronald Reagan didn't fund research into AIDS. Too bad Pitt was too LAZY to do a quick 3 second web search or he could have found THIS:

Despite the criticism, under Reagan $5.7 billion was spent on AIDS and HIV, with large amounts going to the National Institutes of Health. ]

The veneer of honor and respect painted across the legacy of Ronald Reagan is itself a myth of biblical proportions. The coverage proffered today of the Reagan legacy seldom mentions impropriety until the Iran/Contra scandal appears on the administration timeline. This sin of omission is vast. By the end of his term in office, some 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, indicted or investigated for misconduct and/or criminal activities.

[Oh how we yearn for the "propriety" of the Clinton years when FBI files on opponents were gathered at will. By the end of his term of office, Clinton issued record PARDONS to buddies and contributors alike.]

Some of the names on this disgraceful roll-call: Oliver North, John Poindexter, Richard Secord, Casper Weinberger, Elliott Abrams, Robert C. McFarlane, Michael Deaver, E. Bob Wallach, James Watt, Alan D. Fiers, Clair George, Duane R. Clarridge, Anne Gorscuh Burford, Rita Lavelle, Richard Allen, Richard Beggs, Guy Flake, Louis Glutfrida, Edwin Gray, Max Hugel, Carlos Campbell, John Fedders, Arthur Hayes, J. Lynn Helms, Marjory Mecklenburg, Robert Nimmo, J. William Petro, Thomas C. Reed, Emanuel Savas, Charles Wick. Many of these names are lost to history, but more than a few of them are still with us today, 'rehabilitated' by the administration of George W. Bush.

[I'm waiting to see a roll-call of Newton schoolgirls who will be providing testimony against a certain subsitute teacher.]

Ronald Reagan actively supported the regimes of the worst people ever to walk the earth. Names like Marcos, Duarte, Rios Mont and Duvalier reek of blood and corruption, yet were embraced by the Reagan administration with passionate intensity. The ground of many nations is salted with the bones of those murdered by brutal rulers who called Reagan a friend. Who can forget his support of those in South Africa who believed apartheid was the proper way to run a civilized society?

[In Pitt's world, Jose Napoleon Duarte and Ferdinand Marcos (who came to power BEFORE Reagan was President and was forced from power WHILE Reagan was President) rank right up there with Li'l Kim of North Korea. Oops! My fault. Pitt would NEVER criticize the "Progressive" Li'l Kim.]

One dictator in particular looms large across our landscape. Saddam Hussein was a creation of Ronald Reagan. The Reagan administration supported the Hussein regime despite his incredible record of atrocity. The Reagan administration gave Hussein intelligence information which helped the Iraqi military use their chemical weapons on the battlefield against Iran to great effect. The deadly bacterial agents sent to Iraq during the Reagan administration are a laundry list of horrors.

[And the SOURCES for this slur about giving Hussein deadly bacterial agents is none other than the usual Looney Left websites such as the SOCIALIST REVIEW. BTW, quite of few of these websites use Pitt himself as the source for this particular smear.]

The Reagan administration sent an emissary named Donald Rumsfeld to Iraq to shake Saddam Hussein's hand and assure him that, despite public American condemnation of the use of those chemical weapons, the Reagan administration still considered him a welcome friend and ally. This happened while the Reagan administration was selling weapons to Iran, a nation notorious for its support of international terrorism, in secret and in violation of scores of laws.

[FUnnie how Pitt and his fellow DUmmies go into fits at the mere suggestion that we DO something to take out Iran's nuclear capability. Continue with your 25th assassination attempt anniversary SMEAR, Pitt...]

Another name on Ronald Reagan's roll call is that of Osama bin Laden. The Reagan administration believed it a bully idea to organize an army of Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union. bin Laden became the spiritual leader of this action. Throughout the entirety of Reagan's term, bin Laden and his people were armed, funded and trained by the United States. Reagan helped teach Osama bin Laden the lesson he lives by today, that it is possible to bring a superpower to its knees. bin Laden believes this because he has done it once before, thanks to the dedicated help of Ronald Reagan.

[Oh, and don't forget to blame Reagan for the existence of Satan, Pitt. I'm sure Pitt will get around to blaming Reagan for 9/11.]

In 1998, two American embassies in Africa were blasted into rubble by Osama bin Laden, who used the Semtex sent to Afghanistan by the Reagan administration to do the job. In 2001, Osama bin Laden thrust a dagger into the heart of the United States, using men who became skilled at the art of terrorism with the help of Ronald Reagan. Today, there are 827 American soldiers and over 10,000 civilians who have died in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, a war that came to be because Reagan helped manufacture both Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

[BINGO! Pitt did not fail. He now blames 9/11 on Reagan. Of course, he conveniently neglects to mention that Sudan offered to turn over Osama bin Laden to the USA in 1996 but the Clinton administration declined the offer.]

How much of this can be truthfully laid at the feet of Ronald Reagan? It depends on who you ask. Those who worship Reagan see him as the man in charge, the man who defeated Soviet communism, the man whose vision and charisma made Americans feel good about themselves after Vietnam and the malaise of the 1970s. Those who despise Reagan see him as nothing more than a pitch-man for corporate raiders, the man who allowed greed to become a virtue, the man who smiled vapidly while allowing his officials to run the government for him.

[By your own definition, Pitt, you number among the ranks of the Reagan despisers.]

In the final analysis, however, the legacy of Ronald Reagan - whether he had an active hand in its formulation, or was merely along for the ride - is beyond dispute. His famous question, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" is easy to answer. We are not better off than we were four years ago, or eight years ago, or twelve, or twenty. We are a badly damaged state, ruled today by a man who subsists off Reagan's most corrosive final gift to us all: It is the image that matters, and be damned to the truth.

[You better hope the truth from Newton NEVER reaches a courtroom, Pitt. And for all your phony piety, you couldn't resist following your Hate Reagan tirade with a SICKO ballad making fun of his Alzheimer's disease. I won't reprint it here but ANYBODY can view that sick "ballad" titled, "Lest We Forget" that you placed below your Hate Reagan RANT. The author of that sick slam is one Dean Blehert who happens to be a Scientology KOOK.

And now we let us read the rantings of your rabid Hate Reagan acolytes, Pitt.]

Fantastic Will. It's time to start dissassembling the legend
in favor of the truth. Enough time has passed. Many of us know that we are in this place today because of his policies, not only as President, but as Governor of California. Now it's time for the rest of those, who think Ronnie was a saint, to stop imbibing the soma and look at the hard facts.

[Yeah, look for those "Hard Facts" in one of Pied Piper Pitt's many pompous treatises including the one about how we are a Third America Empire like the Third Reich.]

"Morning in America" was built with the blood of people who fought for freedom in places like Nicaragua, El Salvador, Angola, Chile, and numerous other countries. It was built on the backs of the exploited workers and peasants of the world. It was the golden era of anecdotal, and thinly veiled, racism. It was a time when a populist demagogue made hatred, greed, and inhumanity acceptable. His appeal was to the very worst inclinations of a public bamboozled by his "plain speaking" written by an army of PR men. He made simplistic sloganeering a replacement for debate and diplomacy.

[Simplistic sloganeering like LIHOP, MIHOP, or BFEE? Go ahead and EMBARRASS yourselves by saying aloud what those initials mean.]

That rat bastard got into heaven because truly, he didn't remember. Sometimes it really pisses me off when God is merciful.

[Don't worry. He won't be merciful when your time is up.]

Ray-gun is the worst president of my lifetime.

[Except for Bush, of course. Don't veer too far from the DUmmieland Party Line.]

Is this Dean Blehert? His poem captured the whole end of the Reagan years perfectly. Powerful piece!

[Yeah. Scientology KOOK, Dean Blehert, used his "poem" to make fun of Reagan's Alzheimer's disease. Pitt couldn't resist posting it as part of his own anti-Reagan tirade.]

I never got why people looked up to him so much
people must be so desperate for an old fashioned marlboro man, even if he is made out of plastic.

[According to Pitt, it's because the American people are STUPID.]

Truth, Will? The day Reagan died, I laughed out loud and danced. My friends and co-workers thought I was nuts. How hard-hearted I must be, I'm sure they thought. Not nearly as hard-hearted and cruel as Ronald Wilson Reagan, when he occupied the White House, reducing government sponsored school lunch programs, using isolated examples of welfare fraud to throw millions of need off of life supporting programs, subverting the constitution and our democracy, spreading illegal covert programs to undermine autonomous nations around the world.

[Sick and PROUD OF IT! Those are YOUR people, Pitt.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-30-06 (DUmmies SUffering From B.I.T.S. ---Bush-Induced Tourrette's Syndrome)

We've all heard that liberalism is a mental disorder. Regular readers of the DUmmie FUnnies already know this to be true. We have seen thread after thread posted in DUmmieland about the vast numbers of meds they take, how they consult astrology to predict the end of the EVIL Bush Regime, or how they are creating their own alternate reality in which either Al Gore or John Kerry is President. The insanity list goes on and on and on. However, we now have testimony from the DUmmies themselves that they suffer from from a mental disorder as a result of Bush and conservatives. The admission can be seen in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "My name is WestHoustonDem and I suffer from B.I.T.S." B.I.T.S. for you unenlightened folks is defined by the DUmmies themselves as "Bush-Induced Tourrette's Syndrome." Since I live in South Florida, where PEST (Post Election Selection Trauma) is rampant, I can assure you that B.I.T.S. is NO figment of the imagination. In fact, according to a Boca Raton News ARTICLE, PEST is actually covered by medical insurance so it wouldn't be surprising if B.I.T.S. gets the same coverage. I know of a woman who suffers from both PEST and B.I.T.S. since she told me she couldn't watch TV ever since the 2004 election for fear of accidentally seeing Bush on the screen and breaking out into a loud cursing fit. Hopefully she will be able to get her medical insurance to pay for the treatments of both ailments since they are closely related. So let us now plumb the depths of DUmmie despair as they they make their B.I.T.S. confessionals in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, observing the sufferers of B.I.T.S. who have lost their WITS, is in the [brackets]:

My name is WestHoustonDem and I suffer from B.I.T.S.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM B.I.T.S.?
(Bush-Induced Tourrette's Syndrome)

? Do you yell and scream at the television whenever President Bush gives a speech?
? Has your use of profanity increased dramatically over the past five years?
? Have you made up new curse words because the old ones just don't cut it anymore?
? Have you nursed a hangover because you used a republican speech to play a drinking game and the "trigger" word (WMDs, 9/11, terrorists) was repeated more than a dozen times in less than 15 minutes?

[Is that you, SUSAN ESTRICH?]

My name is SharonRB and I suffer from B.I.T.S. I'll be the first to admit it. Do you know the cure?



[You can seek counseling by calling the B.I.T.S. Hotline--- 1-800-BUSH-WON]

The only cure is Chimpeachment!

[I'm Chimpressed at the depth of your diagnosis, Dr. DUmmie.]

OMIGOD! THAT'S what I have!!! That explains so much!

[Isn't it GREAT! You now know the exact nature of your mental disorder!!!]

Welcome to B.I.T.S. Anonymous!

[My name is DUmmie benburch and I 7$%@*! have B.I.T.S. because of that $&^@#&%$$#!!! BUSH!!!]

B.I.T.S. Anonymous is a great place to vent.

[B.I.T.S. Anonymous aka DUmmieland.]

My name is Kadie and I suffer from B.I.T.S. at least now I know I am not alone.

[True. You are joined by all the rest of the DUmmies minus the LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!!]

My name is Bob and I am an alcoholic with
B.I.T.S. I haven't had a drink in nearly 21 years, but I sure hate that asshat, motherf*cking, goddamned election-stealing, phony bible-thumping, glob of mexican food diarrhea, low-life f*ck wad, douche-bag, Santorum smear (Google it), that pretends to be the president.

[After you are finished with your B.I.T.S. attack, DUmmie Bob, pour yourself a good stiff drink to calm yourself down.]

My name is DVJNU and I, too, am in the throes (NOT the last throes, mind you) of BITS. I don't see recovery in my future until 2008. Ain't that a BITS?

[I predict a big B.I.T.S. relapse in 2008 when you discover that Karl Rove has chosen Hillary as your nomineee. Then you can suffer from K.I.T.S. (Karl-Induced Tourrette's Syndrome).]

Hi, my name is Dudley and I am an alpha-BITS vector
which means I had BITS even before the 2000 election and have subsequently infected many others with BITS.

[Uh-Oh. We may have identified the Patient Zero of B.I.T.S. in the form of DUmmie Dudley_DUright.]

Do you keep a supply of soft squoooshy things near your TV seat? That way when the leader of the free world manifests himself on your TV screen you have something ready to throw at him that won't cause you serious financial hardship. Potholders are good. They make a nice satisfying slapping sound but are guaranteed not to shatter the screen.

[How about a Karl Rove Kewpie Doll?]

I am Stinky The Clown and I suffer from B.I.T.S.
All day .... every day .... morning till night .... and sometimes in my dreams.

[As well as in your delusions.]

I won't let myself watch tv news except for the Daily Show..come to think of it I do "yell and scream" whenever Jon has on some fascist spewing idiot or the idiot-in-chief clips. It's a good thing I stopped drinking alcohol in 2002!

[It's also a good thing you stopped thinking in 2002!]

I have suffered with this malady for nearly 6 years!
Chocolate helps! Margaritas and herbal calms help too!

[And Depends helps as well.]

i am xiamiam and i have B.I.T.S...my mouth also hung open for about 2 yrs when i watched SCOTUS help the 2000 election get stolen..but I thought it would get better..everyday some piece of me felt paralyzed..especially my heart..I hated everyone who pretended that everything was normal..i became afraid to travel to foreign countries...i spent abnormal amount of time on the internet trying to find real news before dawn...never sleep thru the night since 911..are these also symptoms?

[Absolutely! You may now put in an insurance claim for B.I.T.S. therapy.]

I feel like I've finally come home to a group of people who know what I'm going through. It gives me strength to get through this.

[SNIFF! It's just so touching to see the beginnings of a B.I.T.S. support group.]

My middle finger automatically goes up whenever I hear clips of him on the radio; I mute the tv and give the same salute while trying to stifle the urge to . I've taught my kids to say "Bush**" if they want to utter anything that wouldn't be appropriate for someone their ages to say. I drink a beer or two or a glass of wine every night before I go to bed whereas I didn't drink much at all for a couple of decades! During one of the SOTU addresses my kids and I were throwing petzels at the tv every time that he smirked, told a blatant lie, etc., and during the first 10 mins. we had to adjust our parameters because we had a large pile of pretzel pieces in the floor and were afraid it was going to get totally out of hand! Thanks for giving it a name besides just feeling Bush**whacked!

[It sounds like your entire family needs to be taken in for a B.I.T.S. Group Therapy Session presided over by Dr. Buddy Rydell.]

Finally a support group.... I suffer from B.I.T.S. too, but I believe I have a even more severe case, because I seem suffer from hives every time I see a republican/conservative on TV.

[I bet the sight of Dick Cheney makes you break out with Jock Itch.]

I have B.I.T.S. avoidance syndrome! When he comes in, I go out! I really have an aversion to his visage. I have to leave the room or change the channel.

[Try doing what the PEST suffering woman I mentioned at the beginning of this missive does. Just avoid TV altogether for the next few years so you don't risk accidentally seeing Bush.]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I am so afflicted.

I told my dad a few weeks ago, when he was at my house watching the POS give a speech:

"Turn it off. I hate him"

dad: why? that is so silly, he's the president, you should at least respect the office.

me: "This is my house, I don't want to hear or see that lying piece of shit in my house. He makes me want to vomit and shit at the same time. Turn it off now."

[OMG OMG OMG! You truly are DEMENTED!!!]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-29-06 ("Should we now form an underground railroad to help soldiers desert?")

In the asylum known as DUmmieland it takes someone special to stand out from the usual herd of whackos and in this regard, benburch does not disappoint as you can see in his DUmmie THREAD titled, "Should we now form an underground railroad to help soldiers desert?" A better question would be "Should we now form an underground asylum to help DUmmies desert reality?" Of course, the answer is that no such underground asylum is needed since the DUmmies, with benburch in the forefront, have long since departed from the bounds of the sane. Basically, benburch, from the safety of his basement computer screen, is setting himself up as an heroic activist fighting the machine of the EVIL Bush Regime. The REALITY of it is that benburch will go no further in forming an underground railroad than reaching for the nearest available bag of Tostito chips while sadly banging away at his keyboard in the gloom of his computer abode. Oh, and a note from Earth to benburch, if you really did consider setting up an underground railroad, you don't BROADCAST that fact on a public forum while staining your T-shirt with salsa sauce. So let us now watch benburch pathetically setting himself up for "heroic" action that never will be in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thanking benburch once again for his latest chapter of entertaining Full Moon bleatings, is in the [brackets]:

Should we now form an underground railroad to help soldiers desert?

[Only if it means you don't have to tear yourself away from the Tostito chips and have to actually LEAVE Mommy's comfy basement from where you post your rantings, DUmmie benburch.]

I think the time has come that many soldiers in Iraq, or threatened with being deployed to Iraq, would desert if given the chance.

[DUmmie wishful thinking. Continue DUmmie benburch...]

Since I do not think this whole disgusting affair was worth the life of even ONE American (or any of the Iraqis we have killed) I am wondering what might be done to hide soldiers scheduled for deployment, get them to neutral countries, or assist them in forming false IDs to live under until the eventual and inevitable amnesty is declared?

[Maybe they can hide with YOU, DUmmie benburch, and spend the next few years living off of Tostitos and salsa while being warmed by the comforting glow of your computer monitor deep in the dark of Mommy's basement.]

Would this be a good idea now? Would this be ethical now? Would the "Peace Churches" (Brethren, Mennonites, Quakers) assist in this effort as a part of their historical legacy of asylum? I invite discussion of this matter.

[I invite discussion of benburch's mental state and now to hear from the rest of the DUmmie Asylum...]

providing asylum to soldiers who decline to participate in a war crime...is always ethical,IMO.

[As is providing asylum for a raving lunatic who posts imaginary "glorious" deeds from the safety of his computer.]

what are you going to do with them? Canada doesn't want them. Maybe a little reverse illegal immigration to Mexico? you cannot encourage someone to break a law (especially one without a statute of limitations, like desertion) I don't think that's ethical.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Hide them in our homes, if need be.

[Before anyone would hide in your home (actually Mommy's home), you would need to decontaminate it, DUmmie benburch.]

You realize you are advocating a felony, if not treason, right?

[Shhh! Please allow DUmmie benburch to continue presenting testimony against himself for his upcoming trial.]

Not advocating... Discussing. I'll let you know when I am advocating it, OK?

[Oh, now that you are seeing there are CONSEQUENCES to this ILLEGAL action, DUmmie benburch, you back away with your tail between your legs.]

It's a discussion. Not advocating anything.
I would take the chance of being convicted of a felony if they tried to take someone I loved and cared for without their wanting to go in the first place. If they started the draft, which may not be too far off, we may HAVE to face these decisions. Just saying.

[Oh yes, the Draft. I remember how all DUmmieland was swearing up and down that a draft would be instituted FOR SURE no later than April...2005.]

These soldiers need a safe haven so that they are not forced to either murder or be murdered in the imperialists war. I'm in....How do we do this? And, of course, maintain secrecy? (Well, not talk about it online might be a first step, lol).

[Don't worry. Nobody knows about this secret plan except for thee and me and the THOUSANDS who read the DUmmie FUnnies.]

I appreciate what you're saying, but you are taking a risk
Every day this board is reviewed by people looking for illegality, and they don't have the same paradigm of intelligent discourse you do. They see sedition, and they see you doing it.

[Every day this board is reviewed by people looking for laughs at the expense of phony DUmmie histrionics.]

I take a risk each and every day with White Rose. I expect to be killed for it eventually if we fail to destroy the GOP.

[The only way you'll be killed, DUmmie benburch, is if you slip while bending over to dip your Tostito chip in the salsa bowl.]

I think a soldier is trained how to get from point A to point B. I'd wager a soldier could get across the canadan border and find connections once up north, to shift on to secure, safe and civil societies that will protect them from the war criminals. They want to lock down all identity paper checkpoints and really imprison everyone, so that they can catch any one of us at impunity like rats in a cage. The military person would probably just take cash and a survival pack, to get across a huge wilderspace border. Depending on the race of the person escaping from the prison states of america, north or south, and the ultimate destination to blend, are simply not predictable.

[How about if WE form an underground railroad to send you north across the DMZ of Korea so you can escape the "prison states of america?"]

I'm not sure why you expect to get killed if you don't destroy the GOP, and I'm not sure how White Rose expects to destroy the GOP.

[The White Rose Society, of which DUmmie benburch is a member, was formed in order to allow deskbound DUmmie computer jockeys feel self-important without having to suffer the consequences of what they are advocating.]

White Rose exists to spread truth. And truth will destroy them. Not by myself, of course. If I am alone in this not much will happen.

[Not much will happen then, DUmmie benburch, other than spilling your salsa dip when you get excited posting your melodramatic nonsense.]

Each person should follow his/her own conscience and act in concert with his/her local organizations...but, broadcasting intentions on a public message board that is regularly scanned, kinda negates the words "underground," doesn't it?

[Don't worry. DUmmie benburch's latest fantasy drenched pronouncement will go NO further than any of his other alternate reality proposals.]

Maybe a more practical approach would be to get the Peace Churches to offer membership to those who might be drafted so that they can get Conscientious Objector status before the draft begins? Seems to me also that a serving soldier could claim CO status after a religious conversion?

[ALREADY trying to laze off from actually DOING anything? Typical benburch. A call to ACTION as long as somebody ELSE has to to the real WORK.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-28-06 (Rabid Moonbat Hate Rant)

If you have any friends who doubt you when you try to describe the absolute LUNACY of the Leftists, then I highly recommend you direct them to this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies which features DUmmies screeching into the void with HATRED as you can see in this THREAD titled, "I f*cking hate Republicans (thread #2)." This is the UGLY but TRUE face of the Left. They are angry and incoherent in their utter hate. Slashing blindly in all directions, the Moonbat screeches its Hatred of everything rational as it makes its nocturnal flights in deep cyberspace. The resultant sight is far from pretty but it must be observed in order to understand the disorder that is known as Leftism. It is the same disorder that inspired roving Chekhist squads to "liquidate" the productive farmers of Russia. The same hate that inspired the Sandinista Las Turbas Divinas ("Divine Mobs") or Las Turbas Chavistas in Venezuela. It is the insane HATRED of the Leftist mob who, knowing their inability to cope with life in general, lashes out in hatred against those who have learned to live successfully. If you ever get complacent and think such mindless mobs can only run wild in foreign lands, then LOOK at our own homegrown Turbas. Look at the DUmmie Mob mindset and you will see it RIGHT HERE in the U.S.A.. Yes, they are amusing creatures but they would become LETHAL if given half a chance. So let us now observe the bile-filled rantings of the Rabid Moonbats in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble correspondent, holding up a lead umbrella to protect against the acidic bile drooling from DUmmie mouths, is in the [brackets]:

I f*cking hate Republicans (thread #2)

[You mean there is an equally rabid thread #1? Why am I NOT surprised?]

I'm with porphyrian. It is my GOD GIVEN, or Constitutional Right to HATE any miserable, low-life sonofabitch that wants to put ME and MINE down to serfdom. PERIOD.

[DUmmie Tyler Durden is a prisoner of his own rabid mind but blames EVIL Republicans for his self-servitude. Continue, the doctor is taking notes...]

I know there are some out there that have rePuke relatives or significant others. I'm sorry if this hurts their feelings, but in a REPUBLIC, where it's "Winner Take All," if you dance in the Devil's Disco, you go to HELL. If you're a Republican and you don't support Bush, Frist, Hastert, Hatch, DeLay and the rest of Satan's little helpers...QUIT. NOW. Send in your party resignation. Otherwise, you support by default.

["QUIT NOW! QUIT NOW!" screeched the Rabid Moonbat beating its wings in the dark, dark night. "QUIT NOW! QUIT NOW!" as the darkness is pierced by the dull glow of its angry red eyes. ...And now to continue observing the disturbed brain pulsations of DUmmie Tyler Durden...]

I repeat: if you are a Republican now, SUPPORT Bush, or QUIT.

[If you are a DUmmie, seek HELP now or QUIT...the planet.]

We are the enemy. Until we are willing to call a traitor a traitor, we will never effectively combat the treason.

[Until you seek mental help you will never cease drooling bile all over yourself, Moonbat porphyrian.]

I have a confession to make. The other day in our town, a teacher at a Christian school died in a traffic accident. He was, by all accounts, a pretty nice guy. But I KNOW he and his family were card-carrying members of the American Taliban, and total Repukes and Bush supporters. I found myself thinking that I was happy there was one less of them to vote in November. That's sick, and I am ashamed of myself, but that's what it's come to. I absolutely hate those people and they are destroying our country.

[You liked the teacher but since he was an ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE you rejoiced in his death although you briefly regretted it before returning to abnormal.]

This is a WAR. Not a war brought on by US, not a war where WE fired the first shot, not a war where WE populated the "Intellectual Concentration Camps." Not US. But we have a choice: The FIGHT the intellectual Nazis like the Nazis in WWII were confronted and defeated, die trying, or line up for the Idealogical Gas Chambers. I will not go down without a fight. NOT when I'm not the one who hit first.

[FUnnie how these DUmmies never seem to be able to point out the location of these imaginary concentration camps. The best they can muster in a response is to look it up in Google.]

I am glad I found this thread. You speak for me too.

[How touching. A Rabid Moonbat has found a comrade. Welcome to the asylum!]

Good luck in life. So long as you are filled with hate you will never be happy. Hope you figure that out before too much of your life is over.

[Good luck in your imminent tombstoning for being much too rational in DUmmieland.]

Human emotions are simply biochemical washes excreted into our systems by glands. Perhaps your own body is only capable of experiencing a single emotion at a time, but I and many other people I know have bodies capable of multiple emotions at once, as well as the intellect to control our actions despite them. Hate is no more a problem than sadness or joy for those who aren't ignorant and/or controlled by their emotions.

[And your biochemistry is producing an overdose of acidic bile excreted into your numb skull.]

I never really hated until 1981. Then a white hot hatred aganst anything republican began building, it was they themselves fueling the fire, taking good care of munero uno and the f*ck with everyone else. It continued on through the eighties, getting hotter and hotter, now with this current crop, it's a wonder I'm not consumed by spontaneus combustion. Never, never have i felt the utter contempt and willingness to completely disengage and title worthless this batch of incompetent sons of bitches. Yeah, I hate f*cking republicans too, and I don't give a shit who cares either damn every one of their black souless hearts to the hell they so feverently believe in.

[Translation: "I am just as LOONY as the other rabid Moonbats...and PROUD of it!!!"]

I have a friend who justifies most of the worst of the junta's
military/economic depredations on manifest destiny, basically, tinged with social darwinism we get whatever we want because we CAN! he thinks he's pretty well supported logically/informationally, but when I asked him what he knew about PNAC, etc: crickets after I filled him in, he said, "great! good for them!"

[Did you fill your friend in on other Moonbat dialectics such as LIHOP, MIHOP, and BFEE?]

I feel your pain...BELIEVE ME. My brother: rePuke. Not extreme but backs up his wife who thinks Clinton should have gone to jail, and should still be there. Sister and her husband: rePukes. Mom: Democrat, but has disowned me, thanks to Sis.

[And a WISE CHOICE your mom made, DUmmie Tyler Durden.]

They declared open war on me and mine. Lying cheating sack of shit homophobes. F*ck 'em.

[Psst! I hate to be the one to inform you but they barely even know that a briney little bug like you even exists.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-28-06 (Ouija Board Polls)

When I was a teenager, I was told that I would someday be world famous. Leaders from many countries would make pilgrimages to my vast estates to seek my advice. I was even told that I would lead a punitive expedition across the galaxy to wipe out an alien civilization that dared to threaten our planet. Of course, I returned to Earth as a conquering hero. That same evening, other teenagers around the table I was sitting at, were told they would become famous actresses, captains of industry, or sports legends. Oddly enough, no one was told they would end up as an inconspicuous couch potato. The reason for these startling revelations was the Ouija Board we were using for the predictions. Of course, something deep down told us to approach the Ouija Board predictions skeptically since the planchette floating around the Ouija board was merely responding to our subconcious desires filtered through our fingers placed atop it.

Yes, most of us have learned to treat the "predictions" of the Ouija Board with a grain of salt, AND YET, most people look upon the EQUALLY unscientific polls with awe and respect. That's right. I said "UNSCIENTIFIC." Like Ouija boards, polls will reflect the results that the people commissioning the polls desire. Either in the actual wording of the polling questions or in the tone of voice used, the pollster can subtly (whether conciously or unconciously) guide the polling planchette in the desired direction.

And now a confessional. At one point in my life I also treated polls with all the awe and respect that I thought they deserved. Whenever I heard someone dismissing the accuracy of polls, I dismissed him as a cranky old kook who probably still thinks the Earth is flat. So what brought about the change? For me it was the 1994 Congressional Elections. About 6 weeks before the election, I remember reading the polls showing that the Republicans would make some important gains in Congress. My hopes were up only to be DASHED a couple of weeks before the election when many polls stated that the Republicans had "peaked too soon" and that the Democrats were overtaking the Republicans. As a result, I approached the TV set on Election Day in a glum mood. Therefore imagine my surprise when the Republicans scored an historic VICTORY in 1994 when the Republicans picked up 54 seats in the House and 8 seats in the Senate, capturing a majority of both legislative bodies.

I VOWED to NEVER be swayed by polls again. Not only that, I did some investigations and found out that polls, far from being scientific, are RARELY correct. Remember the dead heat 1980 election between Reagan and Carter? Well, at least it was a dead heat according to the polls, most of which did NOT predict the Reagan landslide victory. And the further away the elections are from the time the polling takes place, the more meaningless the results are to the point that you might as well consult a Ouija Board for more accurate results.

Even that most "accurate" of polls, based on "infallible" polling data taken directly from voters right after casting their ballots, the much vaunted Exit Poll was proven to be COMPLETELY inaccurate on Election Day 2004. The results of that faulty Exit Poll was written on the dour face of a drunken SUSAN ESTRICH on Election Night who proclaimed as part of a bizarre slurred ramble, "Either the exit polls are completely wrong or George Bush loses." Those faulty Exit Polls caused Estrich's Victory champagne to quickly turn into bitter medicine desperately downed by the Democrat News Analyst to kill the pain of DEFEAT. Of course, the professional pollsters later claimed that there was a series of "logical" reasons to explain away the huge error of the Exit Polls: overpolling certain groups, underpolling other groups, using amateur data collectors, etc., etc.. And I can give them "logical" explanations as to why the Ouija Board of my teenage experience was not accurate.

To sum up, polls will say what interest groups WANT them to say. They can be used as a TOOL in a very LIMITED basis to help candidates find out where to campaign or what issues to stress. Other than that, polls are notoriously INACCURATE as electoral predictors. Of course, the Mainstream Media LOVE polls since they can easily get them to validate their own liberal agenda. Hardly an evening goes by nowadays that a network newscast (often at the beginning of the program) fails to cite Bush's "plunging" poll numbers. Yeah, and if those polls were not made via Ouija Board tactics to reflect what the media pays them to reflect, the pollster would find himself replaced by the news organization so he knows where to lead his planchette to keep his income stream steady.

So with all the obsession over what are completely UNSCIENTIFIC polls, it is amusing to watch the DUmmies sweat beads over those very same polls as you can see in this THREAD titled, "What I find totally depressing about recent polls..." Yes, DUmmies, polls have almost NO BASIS in reality but guess what? If you get so upset over those phony polls, I'm just going to sit back and watch you agonize over that particular Ouija Board. So let us now watch the DUmmies mesmerized by polls that mean nothing in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if Democrat Chairman Terry McAuliffe consulted a Ouija Board or a poll when he gloatingly declared, "Jeb Bush is gone," a few days before Governor Bush was re-elected in a LANDSLIDE, is in the [brackets]:

What I find totally depressing about recent polls...

[A DUmmie who believes in the AWESOME power of the Ouija Board Polls...as well as astrology, alchemy, and divining chicken entrails.]

...however positive the results may seem to us, is that there apparently exists a solid, unshakable 33%-40% bloc of support for a president with authoritarian leanings and a seemingly complete disregard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights...no matter how badly he does.

[Good news! That number just declined from 36.8% to 36.6% in the past month according to the Ouija Board Polls. Even more important the astrological chart shows the Moon rising in Uranus which does not portend well for Bush.]

Think on that awhile. In a way, I could better stomach genuinely high approval ratings (60%+) for Bush if things were going well (as they did for Reagan during the mid-'80s boom"). That way, I'd figure that it was merely the results of Bush's leadership they were approving of, not the philosophy behind it.

[Think about it. We have a strong economy now. Think about it.]

But, as it is, it seems to me that a third of the country or more just likes the idea of a right-wing dictatorship -- fascism without even making the trains run on time. And I hate to think what that bodes for the future.

[Maybe the trains aren't running quite on time but the rest of the economy is working well. Think what that bodes for the future of the poll takers when their predictions are ONCE AGAIN proven WRONG.]

It is rather discouraging.

[Yes, DUmmies. Toss yourselves over the cliff in frustration over poll results that are no more accurate than a Ouija Board.]

His numbers continue to slide downward and I take exception to your phrase "there apparently exists a solid, unshakable 33%-40% bloc of support". His support is neither solid nor unshakable and will continue its slow but inexorable decline.

[I can make the results of those polls rise or fall at least 10 points just in the way I say the word "Bush" while asking the "scientific" poll questions. Saying "Bush" in a sneering tone like a media pundit can easily drive those numbers way down.]

Maybe yes, maybe no...but I have to wonder what more it would take for current Bush supporters to turn. If they haven't concluded, in the face of all the current evidence, that Bush is a miserable failure, would he need to be caught tunneling into the local bank, or shoot someone in public (hey, it worked for Cheney!), or (gasp) be revealed to have received blow-jobs from a young intern?
My point is that those who currently back Bush do so in spite of the results of his presidency. Which tells me that they are people who embrace his ideology of imposing a right-wing agenda (and the Constitution be damned), not his effectiveness. In other words, a bloc who prefer right-wing philosophy to democracy. And that's a chilling thought indeed, because, long after Bush is gone, they'll still be voting.

[We...are... mind-numbed ... robots ... who ... must... listen... to... Rush... to...be...told...how...to...think. And the FUnnie thing is that many liberals buy into that line. I was at a park once listening to Rush on a bench with my portable radio. After a while a liberal type old guy walked nearby and looked at the radio in disgust. "You listen to that guy?" he asked in disgust." "Yes," I replied, "I need to be told how to think." The liberal guy just sadly shook his head up and down and went on his way, totally missing the sarcasm in my reply. In his mind, I merely confirmed his belief in lock-step unthinking EVIL right-wingers.]

You hit it on the head!

[I think he fell on his noggin.]

His support will bottom out at no higher than 20%
which corresponds to the percentage of hardcore RW religious fanatics who have supported him all along. No chance of change there, however their sway on American politics in general is slipping along with Bush's falling popularity. He has lost the great majority of Independents, has completely lost Dems and now many in his own party are finished with him. I can't be overly concerned with the 20% of fundies who still adore the nincompoop when they are all he has.

[And how is President Kerry doing since his big win as predicted by the Exit Polls? I hope he is enjoying the way Mama T is gliding his planchette over his Ouija Board.]

I wonder how the 33% compares to those with enough money
to be profitting from all of the "mistakes" that have been made

[Let's be accurate. It is 33.2% according to the Ouija Board Polls.]

The 33% are the Christofascisti; they've been told Bush is God, err,
good and they always believe what they've been told to believe. They would gladyly see most of us here exterminated so America
could be more godly.

[Your statement is an OUTRAGE! The correct number is THIRTY-THREE POINT TWO PERCENT!!!]

I don't believe for a second that these polls accurately reflect anything...more than the opinions of the people who write them.

[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity. The chance of this recurring is 23.6% according to the polls.]

The only people I know who still support him are truly
uninformed or stupid, or religiously insane.

[According to the latest CNN/Gallup Ouija Board Poll.]

they are like a religious cult..only more dangerous..and they are small in numbers...so why we give them any creedance is beyond me! we should be wiping the floors with them..instead we pander to this sick bunch..

[And could you mop up your drool spill in the corner of the room?]

It is my belief..... that if you took any country/society/culture you would find about that percentage of people who are drawn to authoritarian leaders, and are nascent fascists. It seems to be a certain personality type, thankfully in the minority. What we have seen it that 30-40 percent become empowered in this country, and it is indeed a scary experience. Having enjoyed a heyday, the fascist-leaning American minority will likely be harder to control in the future, and that is pretty depressing.

[33.8% according to the latest ABC News Poll which is within the Ouija Board margin of error of 33.6% according to the CNN/Gallup Poll.]

I'd worry more about the 60 - 67% who don't support him and how to get them to vote Demo in 2006. But first we must motivate the base.

[About the same percentage didn't support the Sandinista Opposition according to the polls in the 1990 Nicaraguan election. Those polls showing an overwhelming Sandinista electoral victory proved "accurate" until the day of the elections when the Sandinistas LOST in a landslide.]

It's the Apocalypse factor. It truly is religious based. Forget common sense. Forget all your normal reasons otherwise. They believe we are in our last days, deficits are meaningless, they have won the abortion argument, morality has been politicized and everything is under control. You have to love them for it though. They are sticking up for what they believe just as well as you are.

[What about the weird DUmmie belief in the Ouija Board Polls?]

Whatever people's personal reasons and motives for...
Supporting the Bushco, I have a hard time believing that there is genuinely 30-plus percent of our populace that actually supports them.

[Me too. I believe that number is well above 50% although this is based on personal observation, not the Ouija Board Polls which actually reflect the opinions ONLY of the Media Types with their fingers guiding the polling planchette to the desired results.]

Mike Malloy.... coined a term for this years ago. He calls them the "30% idiot contingent". They are mostly deluded "christians". Bush could sprount horns, a tail and wave a trident and they would still support him. The only good thing is that they are not a majority, and they never will be.

[Must believe this! MUST BELIEVE THIS! Oh please tell me it is true my almighty Ouija Board Poll planchette. Verify my beliefs!]

Beyond being a non majority, a very slim minority.

[Yes! Yes! My Ouija Board Polling Planchette told me that LESS than 1% of the country supports Bush. I BEEEEEEELEEEEEEEVE!!!!!]

i truely believe * could......... screw a pink elephant on the front lawn of the white house with a million cameras catching the action..and they would find some damn excuse for him. they are sick people and why we pay one damn bit of attention to those sicko's is beyond me..they are not even a real minority.

[Methink you are being screwed by a pink planchette that validates the beliefs flowing through your DUmmie fingers.]

Conversely, the fact that this admin likely doesn't even have 30%, yet "we the people" haven't risen up and kicked these guys' asses is a far more troubling reality.

[30%. Down from 33.6% since this DUFU edition began according to the latest CNN/Ouija Poll.]

Interesting phenomena isn't it? Where is their ideology inculcated? Fascist families? Some institution for morons? Nazi school? Just where the f*ck does it come from is the burning question?

[It...comes...from...listening...to...Rush...who...has...programmed...our...mind-numbed...robotic...minds...]

I put a lot of the blame on the RW "Noise Machine".

[As opposed to the LW "Media Machine" which leads off their newscasts with the latest "low" Ouija Board Poll numbers for Bush.]

Yes, and terrifying to realize just how many...
People mentally digest such garbage while perceiving it as "reality."

[According to the latest CNN/Ouija Poll, 99.9% of all DUmmies BEEEEEELEEEEVE in creating their own alternate reality in which John Kerry was inaugurated as President due to his overwhelming victory in the Exit Polls.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-26-06 (DUmmies Attack Pied Piper Pitt)

My primary purpose in writing this DUmmie FUnnies Blog is for folks to get a lot of entertaining LAUGHS at the foibles of the DUmmies and their Leftist cohorts. And one of the favorite DUmmies that is highlighted here is Pied Piper (William Rivers) Pitt whose self important pomposity coupled with his utter INCOMPETENCE as a political strategist has been the source of MANY hiliarious DUFU editions. However, it now appears that the last DUmmie FUnnies edition, Pied Piper Pitt---The New Bob Shrum? has caused the DUmmies to angrily ATTACK Pied Piper Pitt as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Duckworth, Scott attend DuPage County Unity Breakfast, Cegelis does not." Not only did Pitt demean the eventual winner of the Democrat congressional primary in the 6th Illinois district but he revealed information that proved that his own candidate was a complete IDIOT. So let us now watch the DUmmies fire their cannonballs across the bow of the Good Ship Pitt in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching safely out of the line of fire from within the confines of a Newton schoolyard, is in the [brackets]:

Duckworth, Scott attend DuPage County Unity Breakfast, Cegelis does not

[Cegeilis is probably busy attending an Anger Management program. She is not only angry about losing but is also ANGRY at her campaign adviser, Pied Piper Pitt, for publicly revealing her as an IDIOT.]

6th District Democrats rallying to defeat Roskam

[Sans Cegelis, it doesn't sound like much of a rally.]

DuPage County Democrats are thirsty — thirsty to win a seat in Congress.

They say they think their goal finally will be within reach this November in the traditionally Republican 6th Congressional District, where retiring political icon U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde’s seat is up for grabs.

“Even Moses got out of the desert,” Joan Brennan, a state central committeewoman, said Saturday. “I want out of the desert. Don’t you?”

[Follow Moses Pitt around in circles for 40 years and he will lead you AWAY from the promised land. Back to the news story...]

The question drew resounding applause Saturday during a party unity breakfast in Oakbrook Terrace.

“The Republicans are losing their stranglehold on this district,” said the party’s nominee, Tammy Duckworth. “The middle-class lifestyle is in jeopardy. We need to take care of our families.”

“We’re going to go out there and fight … advocate for the working families of this district,” Duckworth said. “I am strong enough to stand up to Peter Roskam and all of his powerful interests.”

But before Democrats can effectively wage a unified campaign against Roskam, they must rebuild some bridges within their own party.

Saturday’s breakfast was supposed to demonstrate unity among Duckworth and the two primary foes she vanquished on Tuesday, Lindy Scott of Wheaton and Christine Cegelis of Rolling Meadows.

Scott attended but Cegelis — who unsuccessfully had taken on Hyde two years ago — did not.

Bridget Dooley, who worked on the Cegelis campaign, said Cegelis had a family commitment and could not attend.

“We are a family, a Democratic family, and blood is thicker than water,” Scott said. “The bad news is that in our Democratic family, like any family, there are hurt feelings. There’s a lot of pain.”

[Including the pain left by that political "genius," Pied Piper Pitt, who painted Duckworth as a stooge and Cegelis as an idiot in his campaign CONFESSIONAL.]


http://www.dailyherald.com/news/dupagestory.asp?id=171144

I wished that she had attended. She had a prior committment, but if she had won the election, I am sure she would have been at this function. It sucks to lose. But if you want the dem to win, you need to campaign against the GOP. The story should be UNITY. It is the job of Ms. Cegelis to make the story "unity". PDA too.

[PDA? Pied Piper Pitt of the Progressive DUmmies of America revealed what a DUmmie Cegelis was by allowing a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS in campaign money disappear right under her nose. Thanx, Pitt for that revelation which will insure that Cegelis' political career is now completely DEAD.]

Reaction if Cegelis won and Duckworth has a "prior committment"? I think it would have been ugly.

[DUmmie hypocrisy.]

Prior committment is BS. What if she had won? Would she have skipped out?

[Being a SORE LOSER is the mark of a DUmmie.]

Duckworth supporters and those that criticize Cegelis will be told. . . .to be respectful, gracious, etc. but we are expected to excuse and ignore immature behavior. Double standards!

[Maybe Cegelis couldn't make the Unity shindig because she is busy trying to track down that QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS that Pied Piper Pitt revealed just vanished from her campaign.]

In his article Will Pitt pretty much reinforced my opinion of Christine's . . .fitness as a candidate and campaign management which led me to seek an alternative. I was roundly criticized for raising the very points that Will makes in his article:

[Yes, let us now read some juicy excerpts from Pied Piper Pitt's ARTICLE stabbing Cegelis in the back...]

The Cegelis campaign, meanwhile, was sailing through rough waters of its own. The campaign manager managed to spend $250,000 on nothing, putting the campaign into a deep financial hole. The ground network established since 2004 was left fallow. Six weeks before the primary, Cegelis fired her campaign manager, along with virtually her entire staff...

[Thank you, Pied Piper Pitt, for that devastating revelation about YOUR OWN candidate, thus putting her career in the GRAVE. More, more...]

Had Spidel been brought in a few weeks earlier, and had the previous campaign manager not spent a quarter of a million dollars worth of campaign funds on shadows and dust...

[Yeah, a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS blown on "shadows and dust..." Thanx for that damning description of Cegelis idiocy, Pitt. She sounds as INCOMPETENT as you.]

This is from Will Pitt, not Rahm, not the DCCC, not the DLC, but God of all Gods William Rivers Pitt. When I and others raised the very issues in bold as causes for concern and reasons to look for alternatives we were told they were BS and roundly criticized.

[Pied Piper Pitt...The DUmmie gift to Republicans.]

Will Pitt is a Democratic establishment shill and a political opportunist. If you don't believe me, read his posts in 2002, 2003, and 2004 and you can see how easily he could shift position in conjunction with a weather vane.

[And DUmmie IndianaGreen WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

Did you read the article? Will Pitt's support of Christine was sincere . . .he was just giving an honest assesment of the situation that confronted Kevin when he took over. Why is his truth on this matter so easily dismissed by you? Oh please, Will and I were on the opposite sides of this issue but he is just being honest about the factors that contributed to Christine's troubles.

[Pied Piper PItt sincerely portrayed Cegelis as an incompetent idiot.]

As sincere as his job as Dennis Kucinich's press secretary
during the 2004 primaries. Yeah, right!

[Pied Piper Pitt was sincerely working as Dennis Kucinich's press secretary while sincerely working for Mama T's glum Boy Toy formerly known as Kohn.]

Will should not have written that. There is a lot more to the story. I was really on board with their working for Cegelis, but this was over the line. Will P. hurt the former manager publicly trying to make Spidel look good. That is inexcusable.

[Hey. At least Pitt didn't make the campaign manager look like an IDIOT like Cegelis. Pitt let him off the hook by merely making out to be a CROOK.]

For months many of us who supported Duckworth cited the Christine's campaign and financial management as a reason to look for an alternative, whenever we did we were criticized, called names told that it was not true, problem is it was true! What I think is in inexcusable is trying to keep Will quiet, saying it was wrong for him to be honest. I actually thinks this makes Cegelis look good because it shows that she staged a hell of a comeback. Lets not hide from the truth. I think its laughable that Will gets praise when he says what some want to hear but when he says what they don't want to hear he is told he should not have written that.

[Will gets praised for SLAMMING Cegelis...by a Duckworth supporter. They probably have warm feelings in the Duckworth campaign for Pitt because his incompetence doomed their opponent's campaign.]

What a shame. Here we were taking delight in the failure of the GOPers to get it together after their Gov primary race. Now we face the same. This shows character and the lack thereof.

[Don't discourage the RAT bashing. I'm ENJOYING it!]

So you guys are going to blame Cegelis if Duckworth loses.
This is going on at Kos and other places. Setting Cegelis up for blame.

[I think it is UNFAIR to blame Cegelis for Duckworth's future defeat. I think Pied Piper Pitt deserves that honor.]

Not at all. But I remember reading in many forums that if Cegelis won, the Duckworth supporters had better get behind her fully. It would be good to see unity but Duckworth must be responsible for her campaign. The fact that some Cegelis supporters will not support Duckworth is shameful.

[Cegelis would have like to have been at that Unity breakfast but she had to be at the bedside of a second cousin suffering from an ingrown toenail.]

The fact that Duckworth opposes a withdrawal from Iraq is shameful Duckworth does not support Murtha's call for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

[Even Murtha doesn't support his own plan. He didn't even vote for his OWN plan when it was presented to Congress for a vote. It reminded me of Chuck Rangel voting against his OWN plan to re-institute the draft.]

I liked her before but if she chooses to undercut the Dems chance to pick up the seat, grrrrrr. This isn't about one person. It is about taking back the damn House.

[It is about making John Conyers Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. It is about impeaching Bush.]

Duckworth is just what we needed, a crusader for bourgeois values and an advocate for the investor class!

[Chant that to the tune of the "Internationale," DUmmie IndianaGreen.]

I understand the disappointment over Cegelis not attending this event, but it serves no purpose to overly dwell on this, or to amp up those feelings into something stronger. November is a long way off, there is still plenty of time for Cegelis to make an important contribution to electing a Democrat, Duckworth, in this Congressional district. In particular I think it counterproductive to everyone to now question either her character or prior abilities as a candidate. The whole point of this thread is a plea for Party unity. I fail to see how saying anything negative about Cegelis now in any way advances Party unity. I can only see it doing the opposite, if anything. We need to let go of this competition. If in fact people don't accept the reason Cegelis gave for not attending on face value, then perhaps it is a little bit harder for her to let go of her feelings after fighting for this seat for over two years and coming so close to winning the Primary days ago. Cegelis has not been at all bitter toward Duckworth in her public words. Let's not further drive a wedge between the groups of supporters each of these women have. Let's be part of the solution, not the problem.

[Pied Piper Pitt has made it a problem by slamming Duckworth as a STOOGE of the Party insiders and by claiming that Cegelis is an IDIOT by allowing a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS of her campaign funds to just disappear into the air.]

i fully support what you've said ... threads like these just pour gasoline on a very real, very large fire ...

[And Pied Piper Pitt has conveniently provided a very large gas can.]

Cegelis on Laura Flanders last night. Made it clear that the tactic the Duckworth campaign is using now is not that very appropriate...I don't remember the exact words but about the fact that the Duckworth campaign was using the "fall in line" tactic.

[It sounds like Cegelis still hasn't gotten over losing. BTW, has Cegelis ever tracked down her campaign manager who wasted the QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS right under her nose (according to Pied Piper Pitt)? Methinks that if Cegelis checks around in the Caribbean Island vacation spots, she might be able to find that campaign manager.]

the arrogant stupidity of any Democrat who believes people should "just go along" is a perfect way to lose elections ... you don't earn votes by disrespecting voters and not representing their positions on critical issues ... the party, specifically Emanuel and the DCCC, stuck a knife in our backs when they ran Duckworth ... if they want our support now, they'd better offer a whole lot more than "breakfast" ...

[How about "brunch?"]

" the 6th CD of Illinois" of which Duckworth was not even a resident. Seems to me like residency ought to be some sort of pre-requisite.

[Duckworth isn't even a RESIDENT of the Congressional district she is running from. Another JUICY tidbit that Pitt revealed earlier. Thanx, Will!]

Duckworth supports parental notification laws a fact that Emily's List seems to have conveniently overlooked!

[DUmmies believe there should be parental notification for having your ears pierced but NOT for an abortion.]

DCCC backs a candidate that doesn't even live in the district
and defeat a grassroot candidate by virtue of their money and the Beltway personalities that backed the insider's candidate, and they still expect people that supported one of their own to march in lockstep in support of the winner. DCCC fumbled the ball with Paul Hackett and his supporters and now they are fumbling the ball with the Cegelis supporters. I am glad I live in a working class district that is represented by a Democratic congresswoman!

[Rosa Luxemburg?]

Duckworth, with the full backing of the party apparatus and their biggest guns eek out a slim victory now she expects her opponent to rally around her? Are you kidding? and now because Cegalis doesn't want to be put through a gloating victory party breakfast, under the ruse of "unity" she's being attacked?

[For the good of the Party, Cegelis needs to be the subject of a massive GLOAT.]

SHE JUST LOST A RACE!!! GIVE HER A FEW DAYS TO RECOVER!

[GIVE HER A FEW YEARS TO RECOVER...her QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS in disappearing campaign funds. (Hat tip to Pied Piper Pitt!)]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-24-06 (Pied Piper Pitt---The New Bob Shrum?)

Good News! Despite my deep concern, following his DEBACLE as an advisor for the Cegelis campaign primary in the Illinois 6th Congressional District, Pied Piper Pitt has RETURNED! Yes, I was deeply concerned that having FAILED at yet another endeavor, Pitt would hit the Bukowski barroom floor, never to get up again. And why my strange compassion for William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt? It is because I have come to realize that this hapless shmoe is becoming a new BOB SHRUM.

For those of you unfamiliar with Bob Shrum, he is a Democrat campaign advisor who is a BLESSING for Republicans. The reason for this is that Shrum is cursed with the WORST track record of anybody involved in politics. In over 30 years as a campaign consultant, Shrum has a track record that is exactly 0 for 7 in presidential campaigns. That's right. Bob Shrum has NEVER been involved in a successful presidential campaign EVER. His record is so bad that one suspects that Shrum actually brings BAD LUCK to his campaigns. Apparently John Kerry felt sorry for Bob Shrum and decided to give the old campaign consultant ONE LAST CHANCE so he could rack up just ONE presidential victory in his career before going out to pasture. Big mistake. Of course, Bob Shrum thought he had broken his curse on election night 2004. It was a little after 7 P.M. and the exit polls showed John Kerry winning in a landslide. A jubilant Bob Shrum, thinking he FINALLY had a presidential campaign win under his belt, said to Kerry, "May I be the first to say 'Mr. President'?" Kerry's campaign staff reportedly CRINGED at those words, probably thinking of his PERFECT track record for losing. However, they were too late. The very presence of Bob Shrum in any presidential campaign in any capacity whatever is enough to DOOM it.

Likewise, Pied Piper Pitt is developing a Shrum-like record for losing. In less than a year, Pitt has FLOPPED in every major endeavor he has attempted. Last June was supposedly the DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED when he organized a rally in Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. over the Downing Street Memos. Of course, that rally fizzled out and was quickly forgotten. This was followed by the NEXT DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED which was to be a MONUMENTAL anti-war rally in September. Talk about bad timing! As a result of Pitt/Shrum luck, Hurricane Rita hit the mainland on the same day as that rally (in which Pitt denies having absolutely ANY contact with the A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades despite the fact that his PDA organization worked closely with that group to organize the event). The result was there was NO NEWS at all on TV about the rally (or at least none on that evening's NBC News which I watched).

And now the latest effort by the Shrumian Pitt. A congressional contest in which Pitt and his PDA forces were to elect the most "progressive" (farthest Left) candidate in that race, Cegellis. Not only does Pitt describe here the DISASTER that happens with unintentional humor on his TruthOut.Org page in an article titled, "The Mouse That Roared," but he pretty much DOOMS whatever chance the eventual Democrat nominee of that race has with his snide remarks. So let us now watch the good work that Pitt is doing for conservatives in his role as the NEW Bob Shrum in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, asking if I may be the first to call him "Mr. Shrum," is in the [brackets]:

When I walked into the headquarters of the Christine Cegelis for Congress campaign, I was immediately struck by the bustling energy in the hallways and offices. Campaign headquarters was on the third floor of a cookie-cutter building on Highland Street, a nice space with all the amenities. There was a body at every phone, groups gathered in conference rooms to pour over maps and walking sheets, and volunteers banging through the glass doors on their way to work the precincts.

[Little did they know but they were about to suffer from the CURSE of Shrum...I mean Pitt.]

The frenetic energy within campaign headquarters reflected the overall mood of the race itself. This was no ordinary primary. It had turned into a David v. Goliath brawl within the Democratic party, a challenge to see just how far a grassroots organization could carry the fight against a well-funded campaign that was supported by some of the leading lights of the Democratic establishment.

[It was also a way for Pied Piper Pitt to showcase himself for Mama T's BoyToy, in an effort to get a PAYING job with that presidential primary campaign. Of course, it all depended on Pitt racking up a WIN for his candidate.]

The story of the race for the Illinois 6th District House seat, which encompasses portions of both Cook County and DuPage County, shakes out like this. In 2004, Christine Cegelis, a mother of two who worked in the technology sector, challenged Henry Hyde for the seat. Hyde had been an institution in the 6th to this point, holding the seat for sixteen terms in a district that had been reliably Republican for decades. Hyde, as well as many others, were quite surprised when Cegelis managed to get 44.2% of the vote after stomping her primary opponent by nearly a 2-1 margin.

[It was those DAMN Diebold machines that did her in!]

Hyde chose to retire in 2005, making the Illinois 6th an open seat for the first time since the Carter administration. The work done by the Cegelis campaign in 2004 essentially established, for the first time in a long time, a serious Democratic presence in the district. Cegelis chose to continue campaigning even after the '04 election, and had been working ever since towards a run in 2006. She had established a ground game and name recognition among the constituents she hoped to represent, and based her campaign on the need to bring jobs back to the area.

[Including a presidential campaign job for a very hopeful Shrum wannabee.]

Enter Rahm Emmanuel and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Emmanuel, himself a congressman from a neighboring district, has been a kingmaker with the DCCC as chairman. He saw the open seat in the 6th as an excellent opportunity to cut into the GOP majority in the House, and made the race for that seat a central priority of the DCCC. For whatever reasons, however, Emmanuel chose to ignore Christine Cegelis and the work she had done, and instead endeavored to pull a different candidate into the race.

[Rahm Emmanuel Goldstein---the Apostate of the Far Left.]

Emmanuel spent eleven months searching for an alternative to Cegelis. He started with an Illinois state senator, who turned Emmanuel down for personal reasons. He next approached Peter O'Malley, a lawyer who works with the Illinois Mediation Service. O'Malley got into the race, but finding his campaign unable to raise any money to challenge Cegelis, dropped out in the summer. Emmanuel next approached Brian McPartlin, Chief of Administration of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, who did not want to leave his job and turned the offer down. A local businesswoman was approached after McPartlin refused the job, but the campaign never materialized. It appeared, for a time, that Christine Cegelis was going to weather this inter-party storm and stand as the candidate.

[Pied Piper Pitt carefully adjusts the Hate Week Telescreen so we can properly scream at his image of Rahm Emmanuel Goldstein.]

After a long and fruitless search, Emmanuel finally located a candidate willing to challenge Cegelis. Tammy Duckworth was an Army Major and an Iraq War veteran who had lost both legs when her helicopter was attacked. Duckworth was not a resident of the district, and has a voting record that is only two years old. Emmanuel and the DCCC, however, believed her status as a veteran would be a boon to fundraising efforts, and would be attractive to moderates and conservatives who swoon over anyone who has worn a uniform. The running of Iraq veterans is a DCCC plan being enacted in a variety of other districts across the country.

[Thanx for publicly smacking down Democrat candidate Duckworth to ensure a Republican win in that race in November. Your efforts will be rewarded with a Bob Shrum Kewpie Doll.]

During Emmanuel's long search, a third candidate for the Democratic primary in the 6th district emerged. Lindy Scott, an evangelican Christian college professor, jumped into the race with the belief that he could bring religiously-oriented voters back into the party. Throughout the primary, Scott polled in the low teens, but would wind up having a significant effect on the overall outcome.

[EVANGELICAN! Shout it out with the same gusto as "UZBEKS!" < /SCTV Reference>]

The Cegelis campaign, meanwhile, was sailing through rough waters of its own. The campaign manager managed to spend $250,000 on nothing, putting the campaign into a deep financial hole. The ground network established since 2004 was left fallow. Six weeks before the primary, Cegelis fired her campaign manager, along with virtually her entire staff, and brought in a man named Kevin Spidel. Spidel, who was at the time serving as Deputy National Director for Progressive Democrats of America, took a leave of absence from PDA to take over as campaign manager. He organized a whole new staff, took a look at the money they had on hand, and engineered a whole new plan based on the ground network that had once been the main strength of Cegelis' run.

[And thanx for DOOMING any future political career that Cegelis might have had. Think anybody will vote for her after you squealed about how hapless she was by allowing her campaign manager to blow all her dough on "nothing?"]

The challenge was daunting. Emmanuel brought in Senators Durbin, Obama and Kerry, along with a variety of other leading lights, to do vigorous fundraising for Duckworth. He reached out to David Axelrod, a powerful campaign and media consultant in Chicago, to help with a media blitz. By the end of the campaign, the Duckworth crew had sent eleven different pieces of direct mail to voters in the district, covered the airwaves with commercials, and had spent close to $1,000,000.

[Can I keep the kewl giant Telescreen after I yell curses at the image of Rahm Emmanuel Goldstein?]

The Cegelis crew, however, was not interested in quitting. First of all, their candidate's stand on a variety of local and national issues was far clearer than those of Duckworth, especially on the issue of the Iraq occupation. They believed their candidate to be more than a match for the GOP opponent they would face in November, a far-right DeLay clone named Peter Roskam.

[Play ominous Count Floyd music < /SCTV Reference> in the background when you say "far-right Delay clone."]

More than anything, however, was a sense of outrage directed at Emmanuel, the DCCC and the Democratic party establishment in general. Where did they get off bringing in an outsider with no local support? Where did they get off trying to poach the hard work Cegelis had done over the previous two years to establish a Democratic presence in a district that had not known of such a thing for decades? All the money in the world, and all the endorsements from Democratic worthies, could not change the essence of their beliefs.

[HATE! HATE! HATE Rahm Emmanuel Goldstein!]

And so, last Tuesday, the primary to determine the Democratic challenger for the 6th District went down. Cegelis lead by a whisker throughout the night, until the results from Cook County began trickling in. The campaign had expected to do poorly in Cook, and their expectations were met. By the time the clock wound past midnight, the slim advantage Cegelis had enjoyed in DuPage County also began to bleed away. Thanks to the mayhem that took place in Cook County's election stations that night, a winner in the race for the 6th was not declared until the wee hours of the morning. It was Duckworth by a nose.

[The nose beat the whisker due to all those Cook County Graveyard votes. So what else is new?]

The final numbers are telling. Duckworth got 43.8% of the vote to Cegelis' 40.4%. The margin of victory for Duckworth was exactly 1080 votes. The 6th District has 512 precincts, which means Duckworth's margin of victory was 2.1 votes per district. Given the fact that her campaign spent nearly a million dollars to win this race, the price tag on those 2.1 votes per district is staggering.

[Hey! DUckworth's victory was almost exactly DOUBLE Bush's 537 vote win over Gore in 2000. And guess WHO is President today?]

It was that close. Had Spidel been brought in a few weeks earlier, and had the previous campaign manager not spent a quarter of a million dollars worth of campaign funds on shadows and dust, the outcome probably would have been much different. The Lindy Scott factor likewise cannot be ignored. In the end, he got nearly 8,000 votes, amounting to somewhere around 16%. It is telling, when thinking of Scott, to see the blog post he made days before the election, in which he bragged that a majority of the votes he expected to get would come from erstwhile Cegelis voters.

[If, maybe, perhaps. And who was the IDIOT that hired that campaign manager who blew a quarter million on "shadows and dust?"]

The "If" factor cannot alter the outcome, but there is a significant lesson for the Democratic party establishment to learn here. Tammy Duckworth, Rahm Emmanuel, the DCCC and all those big-time endorsers got brought down to the wire by a grassroots campaign with a tenth of the money, and in the end came within an eyelash of losing. Conventional wisdom says Cegelis should not have made it that close. She didn't have the cash, the endorsers, or the media team Duckworth had. It should have been an easy win, but it wasn't.

[From what you've been telling us, Pitt, Cegelis also didn't have the BRAINS. A QUARTER MILLION BUCKS blown in plain sight. SHEESH!]

The next time the Democratic establishment decides to come barnstorming into a district to force an outsider candidate upon a grassroots network that has been working day and night for an already-established and campaign-seasoned candidate, they will look at what happened in the Illinois 6th and, perhaps, think twice. The next time a grassroots organization in a district looks at a big-money primary challenger and sees no chance to succeed, they will look at the Illinois 6th and, perhaps, think twice.

[Will they also look at your incredible WHINE about not accepting defeat and making the Illinois Democrats blow over $100,000 on a MEANINGLESS vote recount? Even your fellow Progressive DUmmies of America parted company from you on that dopey idea.]

In the meantime, many Cegelis supporters have begun the process of swallowing the bitterness of defeat in order to organize for the defeat of Peter Roskam. They do this not because they suddenly like Tammy Duckworth, but because of the larger issues at hand. Kevin Spidel noted in the aftermath of the election that the point is not to elect Duckworth in November simply for the sake of electing Duckworth. The point is to win the November race in order to take one step closer to ending the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The point, Spidel will tell you, is to see Rep. John Conyers Jr. sitting as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee when all is said and done.

[So you admit you don't give a crap about DUckworth. You just want to defeat an EVIL Republican to make John Conyers Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee so he can begin his Moonbat Impeachment Hearings. Believe me Pitt, that quote alone about Conyers is worth much more than its weight in gold...for the Republicans.]

That, Spidel says, is the worthiest and most progressive-minded goal he could possibly imagine.

[Elect Democrats to make Moonbat Conyers House Judiciary Committee Chairman.... Great "thinking," Pitt. Methinks you just Shrummed the chances of the Democrats this year with your DISASTROUS quotes.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-23-06 (DUmmies Hail Bush Hating ABC News Exec)

As soon as I read the e-mail of ABC News Exec, John Green, I KNEW he would be hailed in DUmmieland as a fellow loon. It didn't take long for the DUmmies to send their kisses to Green which you can see in this THREAD titled, "ABC NEWS EXEC: 'BUSH MAKES ME SICK'; E-MAIL REVEALED." It wouldn't surprise me a bit if John Green is already a registered DUmmie posting to crazed threads about LIHOP, MIHOP, and how Karl Rove manipulates EVERYTHING that happens in politics. Matt Drudge says this story is still developing and if it turns out that Green is a DUmmie, that would be a very INTERESTING development. However, is anybody really surprised that there is a network news exec who is crazed in his hatred of Bush. I am sure there are lots more like him (and former anchors like Dan Rather) who are just as LOONEY as the DUmmies in their hatred of Bush in particular and conservatives in general. So let us now watch the DUmmies praise their new Bush Hating Hero in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering what is the DUmmie screen name of John Green, is in the [brackets]:

ABC NEWS EXEC: 'BUSH MAKES ME SICK'; E-MAIL REVEALED

[Find out his DUmmie screen name and put a gold star beside it!]

A top producer at ABC NEWS declared "Bush makes me sick" in an email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

John Green, currently executive producer of the weekend edition of GOOD MORNING AMERICA, unloaded on the president in an ABC company email obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT.

"If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke," Green complained.

The blunt comments by Green, along with other emails obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, further reveal the inner workings of the nation's news outlets.

A friend of Green's at ABC says Green is mortified by the email. "John feels so badly about this email. He is a straight shooter and great producer who is always fair. That said, he deeply regrets the sentiment expressed in the email and the embarrassment it causes ABC News."

Developing...

[John Green is ONLY mortified because he has been PROVEN in his own words to be a Bush Hating loon. Most likely his fellow journalists will give him an AWARD just like they did to Dan Rather after he based a report on forged documents. BTW, I like that "Devloping..." touch by Matt Drudge. Can there be MORE loonie e-mails out there authored by this same clown?

too bad its never said on air...

[Maybe not in those exact words but the shows he produces have that SAME theme. HATE BUSH! BUSH'S FAULT!]



How soon before he gets fired? Did the NSA intercept this message?

[Since he is with ABC News, he most likely will be PROMOTED. And the NSA does not need to intercept this message. They can read all about YOUR looooniness on the DUmmie FUnnies.]

If this e-mail is ONE AND 1/2 YEARS OLD, Rove has to be involved.

[Ah yes. Rove is involved in EVERYTHING.]

I also wonder if there's eavesdropping & invasion into private e-mail accounts going on to serve this administration's dirty politics. This is exactly why I'm with Feingold about holding this administration accountable on NSA spying. The NSA could be Rove's candy store.

[Are you also with Feingold in restricting the free speach rights of Blogs via McCain-FEINGOLD?]

Nice catch. I believe you are correct. ABC's getting Roved.

[Mary Mapes also got Roved...and then smoked a cigarette afterwards.]

Write, write, write. Duers, we need to help him out. Bush makes us all sick!!!

[Send out a DUmmie greeting party to John Green so he can fully bond with the LOOOONS.]

Note to Green: know the person you are sending emails too before you send them...

[Note to Green: probably NOT a good idea to send private e-mails via a handheld wireless Blackberry.]

BTW Mr. Green, he makes me sick too!

[It soooo touching how DUmmies bond with Green.]

I'd rather know a particular news organization's bias than have them pretend to be "fair and balanced."

[Green's e-mail only confirmed what we already know about the bias of ABC News.]

Yeah, it is DEVELOPING, all right. Am I the only one who sees a
creepily coordinated effort to COW THE BOLD PRESS, yet again? See, they stopped being mindless stenographers as Nitwit's poll numbers fell, and they HAVE to be put in their place. It started with that PLANTED question in West Virginia yesterday...and it continues with this Drudge bullshit today. I smell ROVESTINK all over this!

[I smell FARTSTINK all over you.]

No you are not the only one who smells Rove's stench. I think we all do, even the corporate media. Their game is so obvious, tired and old. My fear is what they'll do when they see their propaganda no longer working, because they cannot go anywhere. Even Gonzales admits they could be tried for war crimes under another administration, and there is no statute of limitations on those.

[John Green---Meet your cheerleaders.]

Grow a spine Green. How about saying "You're damn right I said it, I meant it, kiss my ass.".

[That's what Green would LIKE to say but hauling in that fat ABC News paycheck forces him to PRETEND to be embarrassed by his Bush Hating.]

Dear Mr. Green,

The worst thing you can do is to apologize for your email. You have lots of company, at least two thirds of this country and most of the world. Demand to know who gave your private email to Drudge and please publish the name of the recipient which Drudge blacked out. It seems you and probably most of the press have been illegally under surveillance. Write to Russ Feingold, make a FOIA request to find out who was spying on you. Get angry, not apologetic. They'll try to fire you no matter how much you apologize, they have no right to do so based on illegally acquired personal information. Fight, and then sue if they fire you. Watch what happens when you stand up to them the way the Dixie Chicks did, eg. You'll be a hero for telling the truth and for demanding that this illegal spying on Americans is revealed.

Sincerely,
Catrina XXXXX

[Dear Mr. Green,

Don't apologize. Blame Bush. And hold out for a 6 figure book contract from St. Martins Press.

Sincerely,
Mary Mapes]


Make this backfire on Rove!

[Did you copy and paste that from your CBS Memogate post in 2004?]

Why is the recipient's name blacked out?? And why is Mr. Green embarrassed to have said what over 60% of Americans feel, and practically the entire world? I hope he doesn't go apologizing, he'll be fired anyway, so he may as well tell the truth ~ despite his own personal feelings, he and the entire presscorps, covered for this totally criminal and sickening administration. Maybe if we write to him to let him know he has much support. I'm sure his email is being flooded by irate Freepers right now.

[Dear Mr Green---Congrats! You are as NUttie as we are. Your new fans---The DUmmies.]

The "report" implies Drudge has more emails, not neccessarily...originating from Green. The phrase "inner workings of the nation's news outlets" hints to me that Green is not the only one who had his email intercepted and then fed to Drudge. It's almost like someone had these for a long time and now has found a use for them (stepping-up the attack on the free press).

[One can only hope.]

and here we thought it was only us who hated this SOB
I guess its just everyone.

[Almost everyone in the MSM so you have a LOT of company.]

I sense danger.

By the pricking of my thumbs

Something Rovian this way comes!

[Tinfoil Hat Haiku.]

PSYOPS PEOPLE! This is all part of the "anti-media propaganda" campaign. It is well known that US military Psyops are embedded at all the major networks. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this email was "revealed" by such an operative in coordination with Rove's anti-media message machine.

[It is well known that Lithium is embedded in your brain.]

Hope they don't "Black Bag" him

[SeeBS will "Brown Bag" him by taking Green to lunch and offer him a BETTER job as a reward for his Bush Bashing.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-23-06 ("Bev Harris burned her source")

As longtime readers of the DUmmie FUnnies know, Bev Harris has LONG been one of our FAVORITE topics of discussion here. To refresh the memories of the newbies, Bev Harris conducted an investigation into vote fraud right after the 2004 election from within her Florida 5-star hotel suite. Bev was funded by money ("you are just $10 away from overturning the 2004 election results") sent in to her by eager DUmmies and Err America listeners of Randi Rhodes, her chief shill. Of course, the DUmmies were warned OVER and OVER again here on the DUmmie FUnnies that the whole BBV shtick was one big scam but they didn't listen...until it was too late and they had emptied their wallets. What finally did Bev Harris in was the scene of action in the whole overturn the election bit was Ohio yet Bev Harris steadfastly refused for the most part to leave the confines of her Florida hotel suite. Eventually both Randi Rhodes and DUmmieland turned on her well after it was too late. Randi condemned Bev on the air and DUmmieland tombstoned her permanently. Thus the lingering resentment by the DUmmies who eagerly emptied their piggy banks for Bev in the desperate hope that John Kerry would be inaugurated on Jan. 20. Since then there has been bubbling resentment in DUmmieland against Bev Harris for making FOOLS of them by so easily suckering them out of their money. Every once in a while this resentment against Bev boils to surface as in this THREAD titled, "Bev Harris burned her source." The author of this thread is none other than Bev Harris former BBV partner, Kelvin Mace aka David Allen of Plan 9 Publishing, who inevitably got personally burned by Bev, thus his extra dose of bile. Although the DUmmie FUnnies is quite fond of Bev for providing us with LOADS of comedy material in the form of DUmmie suckers making fools of themselves by getting so easily scammed, the DUmmies still harbor quite a bit of anger against her as you shall see below. The DUmmie rantings against Bev Harris for making FOOLS of them are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, once again incanting that "You are only $10 away from John Kerry becoming President," is in the [brackets]:

Bev Harris burned her source

[Sun rises in the East...So what else is new?]

I just caught this news story about Stephen Heller, the fellow facing felony charges for revealing that Diebold broke the law in California.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/03/18/state/n073150S99.DTL

This graf leaps right off the screen:

"Bev Harris, founder of Black Box Voting, told investigators that Heller met her in a Ventura County park in early 2004 and gave her the documents. She turned them over to the secretary of state and the Oakland Tribune."

Why in God's name did she reveal the source of the documents? This is a women who styles herself as an "investigative journalist", yet she burns the source of critical information about "her" story.

She TOLD the investigators who her gave the documents and now he is facing jail. And yes, she is supposedly donating $10,000 to his defense (though I require more evidence than Bev's word), but this does not change the fact that she screwed this guy by revealing his name.

This is just unforgivable.

I await the people who have lectured me about how Bev "has done so much for this movement" to explain to me how allowing a confidential source to be charged with three felonies will encourage other people to trust her or the movement.

[Kelvin (David), perhaps you, Heller, and the rest of the DUmmies should form a "Burned By Bev Suckers Club." And, remember, it's not like you weren't warned about Bev OVER and OVER and OVER again in the DUmmie FUnnies from the get-go. So before you get too harsh on Bev, just keep in mind she found some very easy marks to scam. The easy targets were just too tempting. And now to hear from the rest of the DUmmies whining about how they too were easily scammed by Bev...]

Yea, we all have been waiting for the finale of Bev's looting activist

[You are just $10 away from seeing the end of Bev's looting.]

I feel bad for the guy. It's truly amazing to me that people continue to work with her.

[It was truly amazing how easily the DUmmies were scammed by her.]

Ah, Bev, when pushed she sings like a saprano! A bad person involved in an important cause.

[A bad person whose cause was to scam you DUmmies...and she succeeded BEAUTIFULLY!]

If I had a dime for every time Bev cried to me that other people were going to do this to her...

[You are just 10 cents away from Bev crying to you.]

I wonder what her daughter the reporter at the LA Times thinks of her mother's behavior?

[Bev's daughter is an LA Times reporter??? Do tell!!! We want the facts, Jack!]

It'd be funny except that it makes it harder to convince whistleblowers to come forward. And without the whistleblowers the votes will almost certainly cnotinue to be vulnerable to being stolen.

[Actually it IS FUnnie. We are quite fond of Bev Harris here in the DUmmie FUnnies for providing us TONS of comedy material in her guise as the Flim-Flam Woman.]

Was he getting close to some of that Quit Tam money she's got dibs on?

[He was just $10 away from getting close to some of that Quit Tam money.]

She does this kinda thing so often... you'd think she was TRYING to f*** up the whole enchilada...

[Or just doing it to provide DUmmie FUnnies comedy material.]

True, that!! But it keeps her "employed" as long as the elections are controversial. She's a sick, sick person.

[But if she conned DUmmies out of their money, can Bev be all bad?]

That would explain what she was doing over at Free Republic for a while. I could never understand why they didn't ban her.

[Why ban somebody who so easily made such complete FOOLS of the DUmmies with just some very basic con artistry?]

She's not consistent enough to compare with anything. She'd sell you if you sat down for five minutes.

[Bev Harris is just $10 away from selling out DUmmie sfexpat2000.]

She helped KILL ANDY. I will NEVER forgive that lying freeper for that.

[Actually Andy killed Andy by playing games and holding out for surgery at John Hopkins when sufficient medical help was available early on in his home state.]

Bev Harris is not a person I would trust. And where, oh where is the accounting for her non-profit organization? I can find no accounting for group. Did she not file IRS papers? I know she never paid withholding tax for Andy Stephenson's time working for her, and never sent him a W2. She took in like a MILLION dollars and has not filed and tax paperwork on it that I can find. And Andy Stephenson told me, before he died, that she commingled her funds and BBV's funds and spend whatever she wished on herself, and that she had no personal checking account!

[For just $10, DUmmie benburch, Bev Harris will send you the accounting for her non-profit organization.]

I was at a forum on e-voting last night with a liberal author who is VERY responsive to this topic. He said every time he talk to reporters, Bev's name comes up as one example of why the press isn't taking the topic seriously.

[Thank you, Bev, for turning the whole BBV routine, into a big laughingstock.]

Is there somebody who can take that ball away from her.

[Bev is holding the football for you to kick, Charlie Brown.]

Yes, my county elections officer told me that evry elections office in Calif. has seen Bev in action in person, and they think she is a complete crackpot, and that she is doing HARM to the movement. "Mission Accomplished". F*ck you, Bev.

[And how many hundreds of thousands of dollars did that crackpot so EASILY scam from you DUmmies?]

Do you by chance have the rcording of her last appearance in Randi Rhodes?

[You can't find that Bev Harris appearance in Randi's archives because Randi deleted it after realizing that she too was as easily conned as the DUmmies by Bev.]

Oh I remember that...and wasn't Bev being a bitch to Randi?! Like she didn't call in when she was supposed to, or something like that.

[Bev complained that she didn't have a properly operating answering machine but that she was just $10 away from getting one.]

All I can say is... When she first came on the scene, I tried to interview her. I left msg after msg and she never phoned me or emailed me back. So I dropped it. Then I watched her tell people that no one in the media was interested in taking this on. So I called and called again, nada. Then she went after Andy big time and for that she lost all credibility not just an advocate, but as a human. Finally, when one of my writers wrote an article about Dieb throat, bev left comments trying to discredit the story. My take? She is a shill working to make the voting reform movement look like a bunch of scammers. There is no way to explain this type of unprofessional and unethical behavior.

[Oh, there is an easy way to explain that type of behavior---$$$$.]

Yeah, she is more at home on Free Republic And the site that I don't care to name.

[Oh go ahead and NAME it---DUmmie FUnnies.]

She was supposed to file a Form 990 by November 15th.

[Bev Harris is just $10 away from filing Form 990. Oh, and John Kerry is just $10 away from sending in his Form 180.]

Well we need to keep calling and find out if she filed.

["Thank you for calling. If you wish information as to who filed a Form 990, you will need to remit $10 to this department. BEEP!"]

Bev is a self-serving piece of trash who would burn her own Mother. Few words are vile or shocking enough to accurately describe the utter waste of carbon known as Bev Harris. This guy found out what many already know: you get close to Bev, you end up with a knife in your back.

[And a hand in your wallet.]

Then you can imagine how much it used to piss off the pros when she called herself one.

[True. The professional con artists were pissed off that Bev Harris was able to so easily scam the DUmmies using only very crude methods that could be EASILY detected by anyone with just half a brain.]

All I know is that I have never revealed my sources and never will.

[Thanx, David. It is good to know that you will never reveal me as the source of many of your inside tips.]

I know she is an experienced online cigar seller, but WHAT is her journalism experience, other than claiming to be a PR person?

[Oh yes! Monica Cigars. It's the favorite brand of Li'l Beaver.]

Hey Bev - I sent you cash a couple times you DID report that to the IRS, right?

[Hey idiot - you got conned a couple of times and you DID feel embarrassed, right?]

Did I mention that I have a bridge to sell you?

[For just $10 you can be a part owner of the BBV---Brooklyn Bridge Venture.]

When I think of what White Rose could have done ...with 5% of the money she has WASTED.

[I wouldn't call luxuriating in a 5-star hotel suite WASTED.]

Don't feel bad a lot of us were suckered. Some folks paid a far higher price, as we can see.

[Actually, David Allen, you SHOULD feel bad that a lot of DUmmies were so easily SUCKERED. After all, you were warned here on the DUmmie FUnnies from the get-go OVER and OVER and OVER again.]

I was a HUGE cheerleader for her, and I'm still ashamed of it. She has betrayed so many, many people, and has done cruel and irreversible damage to people's lives (this latest outing of her source is just another life destroyed). It's just mind-boggling how she has ANYONE in her circle that can stand her.

[And how MUCH did Bev EASILY scam from you?]

I want to know how much she ripped DUers off for and find a way to restore that amount. That's probably impossible because she probably never posted a real total. Is that true?

[AT LEAST $300,000 that Bev EASILY scammed from the DUmmies and you will NEVER see it again because it went to pay for 5-star hotel suites.]

There never has been, and I promise you, there never will be an accounting of the DU funds raised on her behalf. Nor have all of the AWESOME DU researchers ever been given full credit for all of the research done for the BBV book that she screwed David Allen over, either. As you remember, there were huge DU threads where research was done, getting to the bottom of the voting machine racket. Our exceptional DUers provided endless money and research, and got screwed.
There's going to be some heavy-duty karma coming around for that woman one of these days. Or maybe the nightmare that lives in her head is payback enough.

[And don't forget to thank your own Skinner for allowing Bev to EASILY scam you. Anyone with just slight reasoning ability could see her scam coming from a mile away but Skinner just stood by sucking his thumb helplessly while Bev sheared the DUmmie sheep without a bit of difficulty. Oh, she was eventually banned from DUmmieland but by then her $$$ con was complete.]

Bev could very well be a BushCo plant. She could also just be a self-serving opportunist that saw an opportunity to fleece a few thousand folks after last election. Another poster had it right when they wrote that it is tragic that such an important issue has Bev as a player.

[DUmmies get suckered.... Bush's fault!]

The running joke in my office
when we are figuring out which bills to pay is that we'll pay a particular bill with my ill-gotten Diebold gains. I just can't find the briefcase full of Benjamins.

[Look for it, David, under Bev's bed in her 5-star hotel suite.]

How despicable! What did she hope to gain by doing this?

[Here's the answer, DUhhhhmmie: $$$$.]

When will this evil person go away? Hasn't she done enough damage already?

[Bev Harris is just $10 away from going away.]

I can barely think about her without getting chest pains.

[And a very empty feeling in your wallet.]

I want to perform a grifterectomy.

[I think that involves a brain implant, DUmmie sfexpat2000.]

It's true, I gave money, was posting on DU while listening to Randi. I remember the day well -- thinking Bev sounded kind of *off*, but I trusted Randi, so...

[...you got SUCKERED! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!]

It just gets worse and worse and worse.

[It just gets FUnnier and FUnnier and FUnnier.]

WE should raise $10K for Heller and send it to him in Andy's name.

[Bev Harris is handling the Heller Defense Fund so just send it to her. You are just $10k away from freeing Heller.]

Thinking of Bev always pisses me off. That and the the rueful memory of my enthusiastic donations, but as the man said; "I'd rather be a chump than a cheat!"

[Think of yourself as a CHUmpie DUmmie.]

Hold it, acmejack. I'm going to ask Skinner for permission
to raise the money. Or, don't.

[Yes, let's see if Skinner falls for ANOTHER scam yet again.]

Or the sound of sockpuppets disrobing.

[I know of a Temporary Sockpuppet who disrobed in the vicinity of a Newton schoolyard.]

Circus person? I never met a circus person. What do you do?

[Bev Harris performed the circus act of making money disappear from the wallets of SUcker DUmmies.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-22-06 ("Are 'they' planning on closing down DU before the election?")

As regular readers of the DUmmie FUnnies know, my DUmmie Ants, although highly entertaining, are severely short on any kind of reasoning ability whatsoever. They see absolutely NO cause and effect springing from misguided legislation as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Are 'they' planning on closing down DU before the election?" The "they" that DARE NOT MENTION ITS NAME referred to here is McCain-Feingold of the infamous McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance "Reform" Act. Meant to (unrealistically) control the flow of money in political campaigns, the RESULT is a SEVERE restriction on our free speech as you can see in this ARTICLE. The problem is that any criticism of the McCain-Feingold Act, the WORST piece of legislation in years, by the DUmmies would mean criticism of their favorite loon, Russ Feingold. Therefore the DUmmies have to be content with merely criticizing a vague "they" which in their tiny minds must be EVIL rightwingers. Let me assure my DUmmie Ants. I have NO INTEREST in shutting down DUmmieland. Without your site up and running, I have NO comedy material for my DUmmie FUnnies. Therefore I place the blame squarely where it belongs, which you WON'T do, on the authors of the legislation that threatens the FREE SPEECH of all Web blogs and forums---JOHN McCAIN and RUSS FEINGOLD. Of course, I don't expect the DUmmies to blame their icon, Feingold, at all but his name is on that HORRIBLE legislation as its co-author. So let us now watch the DUmmie Escape From Reality once again in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who plans on slamming John McCain no matter what restrictions his dopey legislation (with Feingold) permits me, is in the [brackets]:

Are "they" planning on closing down DU before the election?

["They" are McCAIN-FEINGOLD but we dare not mention it because that anti-free speech legislation contains the name of our blessed icon, Feingold.]

I heard something yesterday that "politically active web sites" are being targeted by a bill now in congress to close them down for 60 days before the election. "They" want to make sure things are fair. It was on Air America and NPR .... Anybody know anything about this little act on our road to a dictatorship?

[That bill in Congress is already a law. It is called McCAIN-FEINGOLD. Please thank the authors, John McCain and Russ Feingold, for that piece of incredibly crappy legislation.]

How will "they" be doing this if the servers are located overseas?

[Don't forget to thank RUSS FEINGOLD for the necessity of getting a backup server in the Bahamas. And I'll send a thank you note to JOHN McCAIN for the same.]

I think "they" see the blogs as real threats to their control of the media.

[The "they" that DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME---McCAIN-FEINGOLD.]

What does closing down websites have to do with fair election....

[Why don't you ask McCAIN-FEINGOLD?]

Well, we'll just have to start a knitting forum over at Yahoo
...and talk about anything other than knitting!

[Why don't you talk about how wonderful your icon, Russ Feingold, was for being the co-author of a piece of legislation that forced you to start that Yahoo knitting forum?]

They still couldn't get away with it. Let's not loose touch with reality. Something so bold and so obvious would not sit well with the public-- the Bush Admin. is quite good at taking hacks at our liberty when it's subtle.

[I do blame Bush in this case for signing a piece of CRAPPY legislation co-authored by McCAIN-FEINGOLD.]

They're getting away with these things, which is why we must keep an eye on them always. But I don't think they'd ever get away with shutting down political sites- it would be impossible and it would be too blatant.
But I could be wrong.

[Russ Feingold will prove you wrong by siccing the anti-Blog Police on the bloggers.]

So the plan is to ensure freedom by stopping the flow of information? That's... bullshit. The flow of information is essential to the democratic process.

[Why don't you whisper that into Russ Feingold's ear?]

The only way they could get away with this is by imposing
a total news blackout of the election, also. Somehow, I think this is a pipe dream by all those Freeptards who think they're thinking deep thoughts when they try to come up with ways to shut down anyone who points out the obvious--that they're all WRONG. There would be an ACLU suit and an injunction overnight. If all else failed, I'm sure there are a lot of us out here in internet land who would be overjoyed to hock whatever we have to pay for that foreign internet server. I can think of no better use for the few pieces of jewelry my mother left me. She'd be proud.

[Blame Russ Feingold (and John McCain) for having to hock your Cracker Jack Box rings.]

We're dealing with fascists. The idea itself isn't even the point - it's not going anywhere. Even if it does, you're right - of course the ACLU will sue, and of course they'll win. The very fact that the freepers want to legislate political websites - of which I would imagine a strong majority are liberal - means that their idea is to move closer to state control of the media, which is one crucial step along the road to one-party rule and a dictatorship.

[Let's see... A piece of incredibly CRAPPY legislation co-authored by John McCain and RUSS FEINGOLD threatens your free speech rights so it MUST be the fault of those EVIL Freepers who are universally OPPOSED to that law. It must be FUn to have a scrambled brain.]

That can't be constitutional, and I can't believe even most repukes would support that. This sounds like a pure neocon idea

[Actually it is a pure Mc-Cain-FEINGOLD idea.]

If you believe that campaign finance laws are a bad thing, and some people do, I can understand being upset by the FEC extending those laws. But if you think campaign finance laws are in the public interest, then the idea of extending them to the Internet shouldnt' be upsetting.

[Actually I DO believe that the McCain-FEINGOLD campaign finance law is a BAD thing which is restricting FREE SPEECH rights on the Internet. Unfortunately the DUmmies are too DUmb to realize that there is a connection between the two. Cause and Effect.]

it's a scheme to treat blogs the same as prohibited paid ads
by various interest groups

[Send a thank you note to McCAIN-FEINGOLD for dreaming up that scheme.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-20-06 ("A strategic need to temporarily quiet the 'impeachment' chorus...")

There is a great line in the movie, The Madness of King George. It comes when King George III of England, who has been confined for madness finds out that his son, whom he hates, is about to usurp his power from him. In order to prevent that from happening, King George must appear before Parliament in order to assure them of his sanity by SEEMING normal. When the crazed King George sort of pulls himself together (temporarily) just before making his Parliamentary appearance, he explains how he was able to manage it by saying, "I have remembered how to seem." In other words, even King George knows he is not really sane but has remembered how to SEEM sane at least temporarily in order to prevent the seizure of power by his son. The same applies with the DUmmies in this THREAD titled, "A strategic need to temporarily quiet the 'impeachment' chorus..." Therefore the DUmmie author of this thread is telling his fellow DUmmies to at least SEEM sane temporarily in order to make gains in this year's election. This DUmmmie KNOWS that if the public were to view the Madness of the DUmmies over the Impeachment issue, that would hurt them badly at the polls so they must cool down talk for now about impeachment to SEEM sane enough to earn votes on election day. Of course, the DUmmiecrats have NOT given up on impeachment. No matter what the results on election day, they will be screeching for impeachment as soon as the election results are in. On a brief historical note, although the extreme alcoholism of William Pitt the Younger was only alluded to in the movie, in the play, "The Madness of King George III," the Pitt character was often seen taking swigs from his flask which was an accurate reflection of the historic Will Pitt the Younger's severe drinking problem which apparently has carried down to his descendant, the present day scourge of Newton schoolyards, William Pitt the Plunger. So let us now observe the Madness of the DUmmies as they are urged to SEEM sane in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who highly recommends the King George movie for all, is in the [brackets]:

A strategic need to temporarily quiet the "impeachment" chorus...

[A strategic need to temporarily SEEM sane...]

What is it with us Dems that makes us blind to history?

[What is it with us Dems that makes us try to kick Lucy's football over and over and over again?]

We need to quiet the call for a Bush impeachment. Now, don't get pissed or fly off the handle - there is a strategy to this.

[Psst! Spread the word. Remember to SEEM sane - there is a strategy to this.]

The wheels are flying off the Bush machine. It is now getting through how incompetent this administration is, but what we have to try and figure out is where the impeachment talk "tipping point" is and do not go beyond that. What I mean is, is that there is possibly a point where Bush impeachment talk will equal that of what happened to Clinton: where it causes his numbers to go back up and rally the party faithful.

Secondly, a full on bore rabid impeachment mode will only do one thing this November: rally the conservative base. What we want is for them to remain demoralized and think, "what the hell" when it comes to voting in November. But if we build this impeachment business into an unthinking frenzy, these people will become rabid and feel they must save their president and come out in full force, thereby re-electing a Rethug Congress.

[Thanx for keeping your "seeming sane" strategy under wraps by posting on the Web for ALL to see. Hee! Hee!]

Also, we need Bush for the November elections - this election should also be a referendum on his policies. So we need to turn this back a bit and push for taking back Congress and if that is done, THEN start serious talk of impeachment.

[Translation: Only appear to SEEM sane before the election. After the election we can revert to being NUTS once again. And now to hear from his fellow DUmmie Nutroots...]

Trying to get impeachment with a republican congress is impossible. If the American people want impeachment, they can push for it after November. But the whole regime may self disintegrate by then and we would only need to prosecute the criminals after that.

[You are too far gone to even pretend to SEEM sane.]

I don't know which is the right way to go, strategically. But, everything in my core says that our "leaders" need to speak truth to power, damn the repercussions. Otherwise, they truly deserve the repug-propelled impression that Dems can't/won't lead.

[Damn the repercussions. Over the cliff we go!!!]

We need election fraud to be front and center of the media- and of our conversations.

[So much for the Seem to be Sane strategy.]

Bush aint going anywhere. Censure and Impeachment are SYMBOLIC PROPAGANDA - without a majority in both houses they have no chance of success. The point is to REFRAME THE DEBATE, the point is to make the november election a REFERENDUM ON BUSH.

[How about making it a referendum on DUmmie sanity?]

Here's how I see it: it's a field loaded with minds. The gold is at the other side. The activist liberals want to rush on through that minefield full bore, while instead we should carefully go through it in a methodical manner with good tactics.

[A DUmmie Mind is a FUnnie thing to waste.]

if Dems take over Congress, they will have control over all the committees. They will most likely have access to all documents and ways to find these documents. Sadly, this is all bloodsport and once a love for blood is obtained, it can't be lost. Can you imagine what people like Feingold, Conyers and Waxman would do with real power? (Remember, Conyers is probably doubly pissed off over the rightwing machine for trying to embarrass him over that aide-watching-kids smear.) I think if the Dems can take over in Nov, we will see an unprecedented number of investigations into the Bush Administration that could very well damage the Republican Party for some time. But only if we win in Nov.

[If only I were sane. Too difficult to pull off the SEEM routine.]

Impeachment is not a political battle. It is a battle for the Constitution, the heart and soul of America. We cannot hold back the truth.

[You cannot hold back what the heart and soul of the Nutroots are all about.]

I say, lets concentrate on getting a super-majority (veto proof) in the legislature, and get on with the business of running the country. Once he's out of office, we turn loose the criminal prosecutors loose on him and his cabal. Impeachment only gets him out of office, we need him in jail! We need his assets seized under RICO statues. We need his entire term thoroughly discredited as the disgrace it is, to ensure Democratic rule for the next 20 - 30 years. The SCOTUS is the biggest challenge we will face in the coming generation.

[Since the Republicans have a 5 vote majority in the Senate and ONLY a third of the Senate is up for election this year, that "super-majority" chance is somewhere between nil and none. Oh, and you forgot to say that you need the grounds of his Crawford Ranch to be covered with salt so it could never ever grow brush again.]

Impeachment talk should be delayed until we regain control of the House this year. Don't give the Repubs a reason to rally their base.

[And don't tell anybody by PUBLICLY POSTING it on the Web for all to see. Hee! Hee!]

Impeachment WILL happen when we're in control. F*ck the naysayers!

DUmmie FUnnies 03-17-06 (Head DUmmie Skinner Suggests Samarra Assault Propaganda Ploy)

As soon as I heard about the Operation Swarmer air and ground assault upon Samarra, I KNEW the DUmmies would claim that it is merely a propaganda ploy to divert attention from Bush's (media manipulated) poll ratings. However, despite my expectation of typical DUmmie behavior, I never expected them to be sooooo STUPID as this THREAD, "Does the US Military often do this type of operation in broad daylight?" posted by Head DUmmie Skinner. Yes, STUPIDITY in DUmmieland does pour from the TOP down. Of course, DUmmie Skinner could have spent about half a minute checking the FACTS on this operation in Google but the results would have RUINED his dopey insinuation. So let us now analyze Skinner's stupidity (and the rest of the DUmmies) in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, letting DUmmie Skinner know there is a thing called SEARCH ENGINES to check the FACTS, is in the [brackets]:

Does the US Military often do this type of operation in broad daylight?

[DUhhhhhmmmmmie!!! All you had to do, Skinner, was GOOGLE the FACTS and you would have found THIS. Key sentence for you:

"Iraqi army and police forces, backed by U.S. helicopters launched a pre-dawn offensive against insurgents in the Jallamarea from several directions," a source from Salahudin province told thje Xinhua news agency.

DUhhhhhhmmmmie!!! "Pre-dawn" means BEFORE the sun rises. DUhhhhhhmmmmie!!!]

EarlG and I are sitting here in the office watching these pictures on CNN and we both commented on the fact that it looks like a beautiful day in Iraq which makes for really great pictures.

[Since Operation Swarmer is to take SEVERAL days, you will (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!) also see photos of daytime shots of the assault. Now if you are a news organization and have to choose between nighttime photos where you see almost nothing or daytime shots where things are seen clearly, which photos do you suppose they will use? DUhhhhhmmie!!!]

Neither of us knows anything about military tactics, or typical procedures for the US military. We were hoping there might be some veterans here or other military experts who could tell us if this is typical. We were kind of under the impression that major military operations usually took place at night. Do we have any experts here who can give us some idea of how common it is for these things to occur in broad daylight?

[Neither of you are not only know NOTHING about military tactics but you both flat out just plain know NOTHING. See, DUmmie Skinner, when a military operation is launched PRE-DAWN and is scheduled to last several days, the sun will actually RISE in the middle of such an operation thus yielding the broad daylight photos you saw. DUhhhhhhmmie!!!]

Bingo! Propaganda Assault !!! Just what I was thinking ... New Video ...... Dept. of Defense .... running on CNN all day.

[An UnterDUmmie chimes in with equal stupidity.]

Very astute observation on your part. It would seem that these operations would take place under the cover of night instead of the broad daylight where they could be shot down... I am not military, just an observation....

[Operation Swarmer was launched PRE-DAWN. DUmmie Skinner wasn't astute enough to figure out that the sun RISES in the morning. DUhhhhhhmmie!!!]

Skinner that's exactly what it is.... It's all about the propaganda photos....

[DUhhhhhhhmmie!!!]

Propaganda to ease sagging enlistments? Hey kids, things around the 'hood getting boring? Look at all the fun YOU could be having in the Army or Marines!

[How about easing the pressure on DUmmie Skinner's brain?]

I'd say * prefers to see the blood bath in broad daylight.

[DUmmie Skinner's brain has been hiding in the darkness.]

I think there's a real downside to this mechanized slaughter, both home and abroad. It energizes the anti-Bush folks here. It doesn't help our international image. It underscores that the whole "democracy" PR campaign in Iraq is a charade. Looks to me like Bush is killing the patient in order to save it.

[Actually, Skinner's dopey post highlighted the STUPIDITY of the DUmmies and their leftist cohorts. DUhhhhhhhmmie!!!]

Most operations are carried out at night. Most are done in the early morning when the sentries or guards are going to be the most tired. Also darkness masks your movements. Other then the propaganda value they may be conducting daytime operations due to the urban setting that the troops are operating in. Stealth and darkness is a soldiers friend.

[What part of "PRE-DAWN" don't you understand, DUhhhhhmmie?]

What did they name this one? Shock and AwShucks?

[DUhhhhmb and DUhhhhmber.]

The video I saw had troops being dropped in the middle of nowhere.

[aka the middle of Skinner's skull.]

It's OPERATION HEY LOOK OVER THERE!! With color daylight video to accompany all that useful former general propaganda slathering over the TV news. Let's go back to real journalists giving us stories from the front lines with accompanying video.

[Find the CNN Operation Tailwind crew!]

I'm an idiot. It never even occured to me.

[It definitely OCCURRED to me that you're an idiot, my spelling-challenged little DUmmie.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-16-06 ("My Useless Calls to Chuck and Hillary re Censure!")

This might shock many of you but I am kicking off this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies by actually PRAISING a DUmmie. Yes, DUmmie veracity deserves our ACCOLADES for actually CALLING the offices of Senators Chuck the Shmuck and Hillary and trying to get them to comment on the Feingold censure resolution. Most likely DUmmie veracity was inspired by a Washington Post news ARTICLE which described the uncharacteristically SHY Chuck Schumer this way:

So nonplused were Democrats that even Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), known for his near-daily news conferences, made history by declaring, "I'm not going to comment." Would he have a comment later? "I dunno," the suddenly shy senator said.

Even FUnnier was the way Hillary dodged the Feingold censure resolution question:

Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) brushed past the press pack, shaking her head and waving her hand over her shoulder. When an errant food cart blocked her entrance to the meeting room, she tried to hide from reporters behind the 4-foot-11 Barbara Mikulski (Md.).

"Ask her after lunch," offered Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines. But Clinton, with most of her colleagues, fled the lunch out a back door as if escaping a fire.

Therefore it is with much interest that we read of DUmmie veracity's account of how he tried to pin down both Chuck the Shmuck and Hillary as you can see in this THREAD titled, "My Useless Calls to Chuck and Hillary re Censure!" The DUmmie OUTRAGE at the Duck & Weave senators is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, safely reporting on the proceedings from behind Barbara Mikulski, is in the [brackets]:

My Useless Calls to Chuck and Hillary re Censure!

[I'm CHUCKling already with HILLARity. Continue DUmmie veracity...]

I called the Washington and New York City offices of both Senator Chuck Schumer and Senator Hillary Clinton this morning to ask about their respective positions on the censure resolution introduced by Senator Russ Feingold.

[You've already done MORE than most reporters who are content nowadays to just quote Bush's poll numbers hour by hour. Continue...]

Sen. Schumer's Washington DC office told me he had NO POSITION on the issue at the moment. I laughed out loud, and stated that for a Senator who takes public stances on every issue that can get him a photo op....that response was, in fact, a clear position. I stated that having NO POSITION was refusing to hold the President accountable for violating the Constitution. I said a few other choice things that will remain undisclosed for the moment.

I then asked if I could quote the Senator's position in a newsletter issued by TvNewsLIES.org, the alternative news site for which I write and which had a regular radio webcast. Uh...well...not really, was the response. But, the young man to whom I was speaking quickly offered to connect me to the press folks who would give me an official statement.

No luck. Everyone in the press office claimed to have no authority to state an official position for Senator Schumer....but they asked for my contact information and promised to get back to me as soon as someone 'in authority' arrived.

I'm still waiting.

[You are just 10 minutes away from hearing Chuck the Shmuck's official position. Now let us turn to the even more HILLARYous Hillary...]

Hillary Clinton's Washington DC office REFUSED to give me her position. Chris, the responder on the phone, totally and abjectly said he could not offer Cilnton's position on the censure because the resolution was in committee and she had not had time to go over it. You don't want to hear what I had to say to the outrageous response that was an insult to any caller's intelligence.

[Yeah, I read Feingold's brief CENSURE RESOLUTION and it took me all of about 2 minutes to finish it so we have to cut Hillary some slack on the time factor.]

I then identified myself as a member of the alternative press and was redirected to the 'press office." There, an answering machine recording assured me I'd hear from someone soon.

["Thank you for calling. Another machine will soon be replying with a pre-programmed response. Have a nice day... BEEP!"]

I'm still waiting for that call as well.

[Have you heard the sound of chirping crickets yet?]

Bottom line. The Party's over. There's no hope for anyone expecting some relief from the Democrats to the horror that is facing this nation.

[Chucky and Hillary have your back.]

Where to run?

[Off the cliff? Anyway DUmmie veracity WINS a Kewpie Doll for having slightly more than a brief moment of mental clarity. And now on to the enraged response from the DUmmie Peanut Gallery.]

I guess we need to start dumping tea in Boston Harbor again
because even though we pay taxes we have NO representation. On the Republican side we've got criminals and religious fanatics; on the Democratic side we've got consultant-obsessed cowards; and nobody -- none of those useless tools -- represents us. Lipton is cheap. Let's go for it.

[Why not make a REAL sacrifice and dump Celestial Seasonings tea into Boston Harbor?]

I agree....has anybody got a really really good idea on how to put together a symbolic BOSTON TEA PARTY? It has to be very clever and legal and has to draw a lot of attention...as well as a million or so people!!!!

[What the hell is a "symbolic" Boston Tea Party? Is that where you just PRETEND to dump your precious tea into Boston Harbor? I have a better idea. How about if the DUmmies DUmp themselves in frustration into Boston Harbor?]

F*ck the Boston Harbor - let's dump tea in the Tennesse River. Or the Mississippi. Or the Missouri. That might wake some people up.

[Hey DUmmies! This is why you folks are always in political trouble. Rather than keeping yourselves ON TOPIC you get sidetracked into trivia about where to dump symbolic tea.]

No surprise, they're my senators also, and I gave up bothering with them long ago. They NEVER respond to emails, Schumer doesn't even send the obligatory electronic response. I may as well have two Republicans as senators ~
I'll call them tomorrow just to annoy them. Maybe by then they'll have heard from their DLC overlords as to what their positions are going to be.

[Chucky and Hillary need TIME to read that Feingold censure resolution. If they can ever spare a couple of minutes in their day to go over it, they MIGHT get back to you but don't hold your breath waiting for their non-response.]

WHAT THE F*CK IS THEIR PROBLEM????? ARE THEY F*CKING IDIOTS OR WHAT? HAVE THEY **SEEN** THE LATEST POLL NUMBERS???? THE COUNTRY IS BEGGING, F*CKING BEGGING SOMEONE, ANYONE TO STAND UP TO HE AND HIS CRONIES' BULLSHIT!!!! My GOD, but it boggles the mind.

[And to what address may I send your Hillary Campaign '08 fundraising letter?]

Both Schumer and Clinton are "crafty politicians", and realize the futility of over-reaching with this silly "censure" resolution. Unless, of course, "internal polling" shows it is the thing to do. In that case, there is not a TV program on this earth that Hill and Chucky won't push their mugs onto. Thank the DSCC for this brilliant milquetoast hang on to the middle, lest we be perceived as being (gasp!) liberal "strategy" - whatever the fuck it is. If two Senators were ever begging for a "Kick me, I'm stupid" sign...

[I'll be bipartisan here and volunteer Senators Susan Collins and Chuck Hagel for a "Kick me, I'm stupid" sign...]

My tactic now... Whenever I get a letter from either Hillary or Chuck.....which is quite regularly..... I take the request for donations form....and I print in CLEAR LARGE BLACK MARKER: YOU BETRAYED US!....and I add IRAQ, 9/11, PLAME, SPYING....or whatever I can manage to fit onto the page. " And, of course, I mail it to them. Trust me, if they get all the letters back without a donation, but with a message from the people they're counting on.....they'll start to open their eyes.

[Could you add "FBI FILES" to the Hillary letter?]

I do the same thing! On that day that they renewed the patriot act. Clinton sent me such a fund raiser and I sent it back covered in think, black marker saying to take me off her mailing list since she saw fit to sell out me and my civil liberties. Felt good! Now I'm gonna work to unseat her corporate butt from the senate!

[Good news! Hillary wants to leave the Senate too and move into a house on Pennsylvania Avenue.]

Just got one from Hillary, wanting $$ for the DSCC. I got out a Magic Marker and wrote across the slip where you list your donation, "NOT A DIME TIL DEMS GROW SPINES!" It goes out in tomorrow's mail. Postage prepaid. As soon as they start standing behind Feingold and otherwise doing their damn job of representing us, I'll start contributing. Not before then.

[NOT ONE DAMN DIME DAY!]

NO HILLARY IN '08!!!!!

[NO way you can counter Karl Rove's Game Plan.]

Where is Hillary? Harkin and Boxer are on board. Is Hillary consulting her astrologer?

[Eleanor Roosevelt materialized from the ether and told Hillary to stall until this all blows over.]

Unbelievably pathetic that there's no more support on this issue. But that's the Dems in a nutshell: afraid to take a stance. We're in a Catch-22 situation: none of these spineless bastards wants to make a move unless they're guaranteed they'll receive popular acclaim, and we can't show them popular acclaim until they make a move. I firmly believe there's a critical mass forming in this country that wants to take this corrupt dictatorship down.

[I looked at Ted Kennedy long ago and concluded that there was a critical ass that had already formed.]

We are Paul Wellstone.

[WE are Karl Rove.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-15-06 ("Democrats Beat Quick Retreat on Call to Censure President")

It's the Ides of March and Senator Russ Feingold has already assassinated his own presidential ambitions with his dopey call to censure the President as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Democrats Beat Quick Retreat on Call to Censure President." That title pretty much tells the whole story about Feingold's censure ploy. He introduced the idea to much DUmmie acclaim on Sunday, brought the dopey idea to the Senate on Monday, and by Tuesday it was completely DEAD thanx to his fellow Democrats who wanted nothing to do with it since its PRIMARY purpose was only to further Feingold's presidential ambitions. Thus another Acme Co. package explodes in the DUmmiecrat's face as we hear the Road Runner whizzing off in the distance saying "BEEP! BEEP!" in a voice that sounds remarkably like that of Dick Cheney. So let us now observe to the DUmmie reactions to their own Democrats plunging the Feingold censure shtick into ice cold water in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the DUmmie Coyote ONCE AGAIN eating Road Runner dust, is in the [brackets]:

Democrats Beat Quick Retreat on Call to Censure President

["BOOM!" That was the sound of yet ANOTHER DUmmie Coyote Acme Co. package exploding.]

March 14, 2006
Democrats Beat Quick Retreat on Call to Censure President
By CARL HULSE

WASHINGTON, March 13 — Senate Democrats on Monday blocked an immediate vote on a call by one of their own to censure President Bush for his eavesdropping program.

They acted after Republicans said they were eager to pass judgment on a proposal that they portrayed as baseless and disruptive to the antiterror effort.

Minutes before Senator Russell D. Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin, formally introduced his resolution reprimanding Mr. Bush, Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the majority leader, said Republicans were ready to vote by day's end or Tuesday.

"When we're talking about censure of the president of the United States at a time of war, when this president is out defending the American people with a very good, lawful, constitutional program, it is serious business," Mr. Frist said. "If they want to make an issue out of it, we're willing to do just that."

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/14/politics...


[So the Republicans wanted to VOTE right away on Feingold's censure motion but the Democrats were the ones who NIXED that idea. Oh, and even Feingold left the Senate chamber rather than to actually DEBATE his censure motion. And now for the inevitable DUmmie IMPLOSION...]

Democrats: We're all spineless wimps and PROUD OF IT!

[Harry Reid has your back!]

DINO COWARDS IN RETREAT STAMPEDING OVER EACH OTHER IS KISS THE ASS OF THE CHIMPANZEE

[All bow to the Mighty Chimpus Khan!]

It's a misleading title, if you go past it and actually read the quotes

[If you actually read the quotes, the Democrats beat a quick retreat while PRETENDING to sort of support the censure motion.]

It's kind of sad when you cower before a milktoast like Frist

[Hey! Frist actually wanted a censure motion vote. It was Dingy Harry who nixed the deal.]

I was going to comment about these spineless creatures -- but I'm too angry!

[The DUmmie Coyote is angry that he once again got suckered by an Acme Co. exploding package.]

We've stored up a massive backlog of dry powder. Only later do we discover it has a shelf life of six months.

[Your dry powder turned out to be nothing but bitter ashes in your mouths.]

What exactly have these yellow bellied Dem leaders been doing about Bush's crimes against Americans for the last few months? Nothing, not a thing. Nada, zero, zip, zilch. Why would you expect them to do something now?

[Well, Kerry did lead that last minute futile filibuster against the ApocAlito from the ski slopes of Davos.]

I hear no clamoring for a floor debate by the dems.
On the other hand, a parlimentary requirement for a formal censure vote would certainly invoke debate as a prelude to the actual vote. I see dreamy eyes wishing that the dems had more balls, but I see no indication of actual balls.

[At least Hillary has a big set of cojones.]

They've had months to debate it. All they've done is hide.

[Even Feingold hid from debating his own censure resolution.]

This is the first time a Senator, on the floor, brought out Censure. This is the proper time to debate it... Dems hide? I have no idea what our Dem Senators are doing, but I do know that Feingold is the only one with guts right now...

[FUnnie, Finegold scurried off the Senate floor rather than actually stay and debate his own censure motion.]

They hear that grown-up-voice and shit in their pants we are so f*cked because these common assholes will not stand up to the bush crime family

[They were giving away free samples of Depends at last Sunday's Calle Ocho parade. Maybe I should have picked up a few for the Democrats to wear.]

barbara boxer hasn't even spoken up on this... argggh!!!

[Barbara Boxer has your back.]

she and others have to have time to think about it.

[She needs time to think about what a self-serving gesture this whole censure shtick is.]

Think about what? Think about whether Bush broke the law? No, because that is blatantly clear, no matter how muddled the Republicans try to make it look. Think about whether they ought to do something about Bush breaking the law? I mean, we are talking a f*cking censure here. Its purely symbolic and hardly a drastic move. Its not like any of them are holding out for impeachment. Think about whether this is a smart thing to do politically? Bush's approval rating is at f*cking 34%! If this were a Democratic President the Republicans would have ripped off his head and shit down his neck a long time ago! So what do they need to think about?

[They need to think about how to spin this whole fiasco as yet another sign that it is the REPUBLICANS that are in political trouble.]

I really wish that Feingold could have stayed and had a debate on the floor with Spector. It could have been very ineresting.

[Even Feingold ended up RUNNING AWAY from his own self-serving censure motion.]

yes, Reid did help Feingold (at the moment)--but now what?

[Feingold got Reid's back...of the hand.]

Chimp is SO WEAK right now. Democrats have nothing to lose by supporting the censure motion. But, failing to support the censure motion will PISS OFF the grassroots and may negatively affect 2006 mid-term election turnout. So, f*cking stupid...

[Hee! Hee!]

The Whole Damn Bunch Must be getting Blackmailed,at least that is an excuse.

[Someone is blackmailing Dingy Harry with pictures showing him actually smiling.]

I think of the Vichy French who surrendered and then collaborated with the Germans. Feingold is our DeGaulle!

[I thought Feingold did an excellent impression of Marcel Marceau when he was challenged to debate his own censure motion in the Senate.]

F*cking cowards. 36% approval rating.How goddamn scary can that 36% be? What the f*ck are they afraid of?

[I dunno. Ask the Democrat policy woman who declared on Hardball yesterday that the Democrats don't need a policy.]

36% + Diebold = They "Win"

[36% + Diebold = You "Lose"]

If we lose either way, why not go down swinging? Why do they continue to sit on their hands and do nothing? There has to be an explanation for this incredible complacency and I have no clue what it is.

[Could it be the seductive warm glow from your computer monitor that keeps you in a permanent state of inactivity? DUAC! DUAC!]

Damm--what a terrible headline (and it is truthful which is the worst part

[Ye shall know the truth and it will HURT like hell.]

They are cowards, almost to a man, as I'm afraid we'll see in any resulting debate and in the ultimate vote. But I'm crossing my fingers. If we can't even censure for such a breathtaking array of crimes, American democracy is beyond hope.

[Hillary has your back.]

It's time for a radical overhaul of the democratic party. no spine = no vote for them come reelection!!

[Spread the word!]

Wow!! No wonder the public views the dems as weak on terror!! They can't even vote to censure one of the most despised men in the history of the US!! F*cking jellyfish. If I had not changed my registration to Independent, I would be cringing to be considered a Democrat.

[If Algore had been elected President, we would still be debating about putting economic sanctions on Afghanistan.]

No deep dark mystery here! No conspiracy theories! What you see are a whole bunch of liberals abandoning the DINOs in the democratic party because we feel that the party no longer represents our viewpoints. Now there are a bunch of people like perhaps you who will vote for the stinkiest, slimiest politicians like Lieberman and Zell baby just because they have a (D) after their name. I propose that we have ample proof that this approach fails miserably and that all that comes out of this approach are a bunch of fat cat DINOs who spout "political expediency" for the sake of principle, spout "keep our powder dry!", and on and on; just so these DINOs can keep their cushy jobs. Well, screw them. I won't help them keep their cushy jobs.

[DUmmie angst is FUN to watch!]

Did The Dems Retreat?

[Did the sun rise?]

Frist said this after eating a deep fried cat. He developed a taste for them back in college. Democrats heard his bluff of insanity and they fled. Sad. Even poll numbers can't sway Dems. I guess they need their mommy to tell em when it is okay to vote against a fascist, war criminal. Oh well...maybe next time.



[Perhaps Frist should get the barbecued RAT recipe from G. Gordon Liddy.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-14-06 (Pied Piper Pitt's Shameless Kerry Shilling)

So what was the "JOYOUS" political news yesterday that had almost all of DUmmieland rejoicing? It was the news that Senator Russ Feingold called for a censure of Bush in the Senate. Of course the celebrations were only temporary since Feingold's fellow Democrats in the Senate correctly saw this censure motion as nothing but self-serving grandstanding on his part to further his presidential ambitions. Already the mood in DUmmieland is changing from outright jubiliation over the censure motion to OUTRAGE at the Senate Democrats because this motion is going NOWHERE. However, in the meantime it has been extremely amusing to watch Pied Piper Pitt take advantage of the Feingold moment in the sun yesterday to ingratiate himself with the Kerry camp by posting this THREAD right in the midst of the DUmmieland Finegold Censure celebrations titled, "Two personal experiences with John Kerry, and why I'd support him..." Before we proceed further with analysis of Pied Piper's Pitt's Kerry fawning thread, I must issue this IMPORTANT disclaimer: Pied Piper Pitt NEVER EVER had any contact with the Communist A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades at any time in the past nor will do so in the future. Even though his PDA.Org outfit was heavily involved with A.N.S.W.E.R. in organizing the forgotten September D.C. that was completely buried under the Hurricane Rita news, Pitt himself kept himself hermetically protected from the A.N.S.W.E.R. microbes by sealing himself off in a giant body condom. Okay, now that I got the disclaimer out of the way, let's now observe Pitt's shameless shilling in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that Pitt was also keeping the door open to Hillary in another shameless shill thread, is in the [brackets]:

Two personal experiences with John Kerry, and why I'd support him...if he runs again in '08.

[$$$$$$$$$$$]

It seems that every time Kerry's name is mentioned on DU, specifically in any kind of context regarding 2008, there are howls of indignation and dismay. This is, to no small degree, understandable; he voted for the IWR way back when, albeit with solid comments on the parameters of that vote, and he conceded the 2004 election before any kind of hard look could be taken at what took place in Ohio.

[Kerry has your back, Pitt.]

Fair enough. My purpose for this post isn't to try and talk anyone out of their opinions of the man, or to convince them that those opinions are wrong. Rather, I want to share two personal experiences I had with the man while covering the last presidential election. These experiences, for my money, speak volumes about him as a person and as a candidate.

[The purpose of this post is to shamelessly SHILL for Kerry in the MIDST of the Feingold censure celebrations in DUmmieland in the hope that the Kerry camp will notice how Pied Piper Pitt stood up for their man and will offer him some of Mrs. Heinz's $$$$$ to work officially for them in the future. Of course, Pitt also posted a quick Hillary shill post for the same purpose recently.]

The first experience took place at the New York City apartment of Al Franken in December of 2003. In attendance were Franken and his wife Franni; Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker; David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker; Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine; Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek; Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN; Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times; Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation; Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of 'Maus'; Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post; Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate; Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author; Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek; Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker; Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author; Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author; Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.

[Name dropper. Oh, and was Kelly's original name, "Kohn?"]

In other words, the heaviest swordsmen of political journalism. DUer Pete Daou was working for the Kerry campaign and finagled an invitation for me, and so there I sat with all these serious people in Franken's apartment. Kerry came in with two staffers, sat in the middle of all these people, and took questions for about three hours.

["Psst! Will! I can get you in on the Kerry gravy train too if you just sit there and pretend to be interested in what the journalist celebs say."]

Think about that a second. Three hours. There are not a whole lot of big-time politicians, Republican or Democrat, who could withstand that kind of intense on-the-record grilling from that kind of crew. There aren't many who would volunteer willingly to do so. To be sure, Bush would never in hell put himself in that position. Kerry did, and did magnificently. He handled every question and ran from none.

[Think about that a second. Kerry took three hours away from his Davos ski slopes time to pretend to be interested in what we had to say. There are not many politicians who would be interested in making that sacrifice. Oh, and if you were having such meeting with Kerry at the end of 2003, WHY were you working for the cash poor Kucinich campaign just a month later until you were fired for secretly working for the Kerry campaign at the same time?]

A few weeks later, I caught up with Kerry while he was riding the rods in New Hampshire and rode with him and his crew in their van on the way to a high school confab with environmentally-conscious teenagers. His manner with his staff was exceedingly casual, and he was nothing but friendly to me. To be sure, it could easily have been an act - I have gained some firsthand experience in the difference between how politicians treat staff when reporters are present and how they treat staff when reporters are not there - but I got a sense that this was a genuine person.

[Young, juicy, hot-looking high school teenage chicks wearing tight pants and... Oh, but I digress. Back to my Kerry fable...]

He got to the high school and there were maybe 50 kids in the room, along with Jeff Greenfield and other big-time MSM folks. Kerry gave an extraordinary talk on the need for a new energy policy focused on alternative fuels. He described it not only as important for the planet, but as a front-and-center national security issue.

[And I bet Pitt took at least one of the high school teenage chicks aside for a private session to describe Kerry's energy policy in detail.]

"When I came back from Vietnam," he said at one point, "I became involved in Earth Day. This was 1970, and then I was chairman of Earth Day in New England in 1990. We actually painted Storrow Drive biodegradable green, and we had hundreds of booths up and down the Charles River showing people what the technologies of the future could do. I've been chairman of the Oceans Committee in the Senate. I?ve written our fisheries laws, I've written our plastics pollution laws, our marine mammal protection laws, our flood insurance laws, our coastal zone management laws. I was in Rio for the Earth Summit in 1990. I was at Buenos Aires, Kyoto, The Hague for the global warming conferences. I've helped negotiate with the less developed countries on those issues. I led the fight to stop Newt Gingrich from literally killing the Clean Air Act. I led the fight as a Lieutenant Governor to make acid rain a national issue, and it's now in the Clean Air Act. I led the fight to stop the drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I come to this race with a long and passionate record of caring about the environment."

[Kerry was in Vietnam? This is ASTOUNDING news! I NEVER heard that before. It looks like that 1970 Earth Day memory was seared, SEARED into his mind. Oh, and I love the way all those sentences begin with "I." I do. I do. I do. I I I I I I do.]

"Sometimes in America," he continued "the environment becomes a really bad discussion. People like George Bush and his friends will say, 'You have a choice. You can have a job, or you can have a clean environment.' Have you ever heard that argument? Jobs or environment, right? It's a false choice. Cleaning up the environment can be jobs. In Massachusetts, the fastest-growing part of our economy is environmental companies that do clean-up of toxic waste and chemicals, and to consult with companies so they don't spit out dirty water and the like. I'm convinced that a good President can help bring the country together in a way that doesn't lose us jobs, and in a way that helps create a better future, and that's why I'm running. That's why I'm here."

["People like George Bush and his friends will say, 'You have a choice. You can either allow us to pour arsenic into your ground water or melt all the glaciers.'"]

So this is it for me. Yes, he has made some bad decisions. Yes, there is reason to be pissed at the man. But I think about his willingness to wade into a three-hour confrontation with the editors and writers of the heaviest political publications in the country. I think about how well he stood his ground, made his arguments (and apologies, in regards to the IWR vote). I think about him talking to those kids at that school, about how utterly genuine is his desire to defend the environment and, in the process, defend our economy, the planet and our national security. I think about how goddam smart he is, and how both these instances displayed that intelligence so completely clearly.

[Yes, so BRAVE of Kerry to "confront" liberal editors and writers who basically agree with him on everything. Oh, and I am sure you spent a lot of time thinking about him talking to those kids at that school. Actually you weren't thinking about Kerry all that much. Your thoughts were on those kids at that school wearing tight little pants and glossy lipstick and...]

I think he would make a magnificent president, and I think it is nothing less than a full-spectrum calamity that he is not president right now. If he ran again, I am not sure I would support him in the primaries, simply because I do not know who else will be running. But if he gets the nomination, he will have 100% of my support and energy. I don't base this decision on what I've read at DU or elsewhere, but on what I have seen from the man with my own two eyes.

[Trust me, Pitt. You will support Kerry in the primaries once Mrs. Heinz flashes $$$$ in front of your greedy little eyes. There are Bukowski bar tabs to be paid.]

*donning flame suit*

[Flame suit made of asbestos lined with green dollars.]

So take that for whatever it is worth.

[I bet you are hoping that this shameless shill is worth lots of $$$$...]

(PS, Franken has the coolest bathroom in the history of plumbing. It is festooned with Nixon memorabilia; he has the photo of Elvis signing up to be an honorary DEA agent with those catastrophically zooted eyes, a dozen other bits and pieces, and the best thing - the original "I hereby resign" letter recieved by Kissinger that bears Kissinger's initialed I-read-this signature at the bottom. It is framed right above the toilet. Best piss I ever took in my life.)

[I saw the same "original" resignation letter at the Flea Market selling for $2.95. And now on to rantings of the DUmmie Peanut Gallery...]

If Kerry wants to run again he better dump those f*cking advisers. He better speak his mind forcefully and truthfully and leave the centrist crap to the dead armadillos.

[Including unpaid wannabee advisers like Pied Piper Pitt.]

In retrospect, he's well aware of which staffers did not have his best interests at heart, and they are no longer working for him.

[Such as Carville and Begala. We know where their interests lie. A bit further south than Boston.]

What was his answer to why he supported an illegal war of aggression against a disarmed country that was no threat to the US or anyone else? Surely in such an august gathering of political journalists, someone asked some flavor of that question. I'd really be interested in Kerry's answer.

[Kerry was FOR the war before he was AGAINST it. Perhaps Pied Piper Pitt can now enlighten us with Kerry's non-answer with his amazing powers of Bukowski Bouncer Recall...]

"Senator," said Alterman, "I think you may be the most qualified candidate in the race, and perhaps also the one who best represents my own values. But there was one overriding issue facing this nation during the past four years, and Howard Dean was there when it counted, and you weren't. A lot of people feel that moment entitles him to their vote, even if you have a more progressive record and would be a stronger candidate in November. How are you going to win back those people who you lost with your vote for this awful war?"

"This was the hardest vote I have ever had to cast in my entire career," Kerry said. "I voted for the resolution to get the inspectors in there, period. Remember, for seven and a half years we were destroying weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In fact, we found more stuff there than we thought we would. After that came those four years when there was no intelligence available about what was happening over there. I believed we needed to get the weapons inspectors back in. I believed Bush needed this resolution in order to get the U.N. to put the inspectors back in there. The only way to get the inspectors back in was to present Bush with the ability to threaten force legitimately. That's what I voted for."

"The way Powell, Eagleberger, Scowcroft, and the others were talking at the time," continued Kerry, "I felt confident that Bush would work with the international community. I took the President at his word. We were told that any course would lead through the United Nations, and that war would be an absolute last resort. Many people I am close with, both Democrats and Republicans, who are also close to Bush told me unequivocally that no decisions had been made about the course of action. Bush hadn't yet been hijacked by Wolfowitz, Perle, Cheney and that whole crew. Did I think Bush was going to charge unilaterally into war? No. Did I think he would make such an incredible mess of the situation? No. Am I angry about it? You're God damned right I am. I chose to believe the President of the United States. That was a terrible mistake."

[Thank you for that WORD FOR WORD recital of Kerry's looong non-answer as he was evading the question. But WAIT! There's MORE!]

The most revealing moment of the entire event came as it was breaking up. Kerry was slowly working towards the door when he was collared by Art Spiegelman. Though Kerry towered over him, Spiegelman appeared to grow with the intensity of his passion. "Senator," he said, "the best thing you could do is to is to just come out and say that you were wrong to trust Bush. Say that you though he would keep his promises, but that you gave him more credit than he deserved. Say that you?re sorry, and then turn the debate towards what is best for the country in 2004."

Kerry nodded, bowed his head, and said, "You're right. I was wrong to trust him. I'm sorry I did." And then he was gone.

[And then he was gone...gone to the ski slopes of Davos.]

Unfortunately (and this is my biggest beef with Kerry)...
he did gloss over Bush's absence of integrity in PUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kerry supported the war in public while opposing it in private. It was a bold stand on his part.]

Kerry claimed OBL video released before the ekection did him in. pure rubbish!

[Correct. It was the Diebold machines that did him in.]

What I never understood...right after that meeting you went to Kucinich. I never understood that. Was it January you become part of the Kucinich campaign? Or early February.

[Stand by as Pied Piper Pitt attempts to explain why he was two-faced...]

I went to Kucinich because he offered me a job, because I thought what he was saying needed to be a part of the discussion. Welcome to the "Questioning my Motives" club. You and Koko should get t-shirts or something.

[You went to Kucinich because Kerry needed to find out what pesky things the Evil Elf could come up with from the inside. Therefore you were ensconced deep within the Kucinich campaign to feed that potentially damaging material to the Kerry people. Oh, and would you like a DUmmie FUnnies T-Shirt?]

He is a stellar human being. He's warm, friendly, down to earth, a great listener, and completely accommodating.

[Kerry is wonderful. He has an incredible sense of humor. Friendly to people who accidentally knock him down on the ski slopes. Oh, and he wears an EXTRA-LARGE jockstrap which is almost as large as Hillary's.]

I voted for him, and I'd vote for him again. HOWEVER
he NEEDS to work with someone to learn how to make his speech clear, concise, and simple. There were too many times that I heard him speak and his mode of communication is simply too formal and complicated for the average American.

[That Nuance Removal will take quite some time.]

Some days he got it, and some days he didn't

[He didn't get it on Election Day 2004.]

Thank you, Will, for taking the time to share this with us.
I think firsthand accounts and experiences are so important and help people to understand who they are dealing with. I happen to be a Kerry fan, which doesn't hurt, but you just reinforced my uninformed opinion.

[Yes, that WORD FOR WORD Bukowski Bouncer Perfect Recall ability that Pied Piper Pitt has is certainly useful.]

Watch Kerry schmoozing a crowd..thats class.

[Watch Pitt smooching students..while in high school class.]

Thank you for this thread.

[Thank you for this Forget About Feingold Wanna Ingratiate Myself Again With Kerry thread.]

Why don't you right now sign up as Kerry's campaign manager....
You are supposedly Progressive yet you constantly "look backward." I know you don't care for my opinions...but I AM a PROGRESSIVE and I really can't get where you come from. You seem to "play both sides against the middle" for your own ends as to where you position yourself. I don't have a problem with you being a young guy and needing to make a living but...I do with people who "prostrate their soul" for profit when it eats into their souls and will eventually cause them to have some bad stuff to deal with in their lives down the road.

[And DUmmie KoKo01 WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

You are a strange person.

[Replies Pied Piper Pitt to DUmmie KoKo01 lamely.]

There's nothing on your PDA link about VVP Ballot so, Will,
where is their effort on this critical vote integrity issue affecting every state this spring due to the Pug's HAVA act buy of new machines. And down here in a red state, we are not aware of Kerry working to assure that we get auditable, recountable machines. Remember, "we will count every vote" ...hope this time that it counts.

[You can try and try all you want, DUmmie KoKo01, but the previous LAME non-reply from Pitt is as good as you'll get.]

I've not seen Will as a Rep of PDA take a stand on this, though...but I DO KNOW that Will fought hard for Gore vote to be acknowleged. I think after that as all young folks do...he had to go where he could make a living.

[Money talks, BS walks.]

Kerry is our best chance to "stop Hillary" if she is thinking of running and that's a big "if".

[As big an "IF" as in "IF" the sun rises in the morning.]

I loved the Kerry/Edwards ticket. The sunshine boys...remember? What the f*ck happened? I'll never understand.

[It's simple. They LOST.

THEY WON !! Bush and Rove rigged the election! Where have you been for the past ungodly year? Understand yet??

[Oops! My error.]

I've had fifty people today either question my motives, challenge my progressive credentials, or do psychoanalysis of me based upon family history. I'm a little too easy to annoy today.

[Then bury your annoyance in a bottle at Bukowski's, Pitt.]

Cheesuz Will, you're from Boston or functionally so anyway. How the hell do you get through these long, strange, argumentative threads without ever once uttering the phrase: 'Bite me. Just bite me.' I can't do it. What is the secret?

[Stand by as Pied Piper Pitt tells us his secret...]

Scotch

[LOTS of Scotch, Pitt. At Bukowski's.]

Well, my sense is that Kerry is a phony and you are just fooled by him. If this post were about Al Gore being an "at the core" good person, then I'd buy what you are saying. On the other hand I don't think Kerry is evil, a stooge, or any of that. However, he is just a politician and it seems like you've been taken in by a politician's charm.

[There is NO Kerry charm to be taken in by. It's all about the Benjamins and Pitt wants some care of Mrs. Heinz.]

On Sunday, I watched in in Nashua (spelling) (c-span Road to the White House). He bored me to tears...

[But...but what about Kerry's "charm" mentioned previously? Oh well, time for Pied Piper Pitt to launch a Kerry Charm Thread in his next blatant Shill routine.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-13-06 (DUmmies Last Stand)

Remember the 2002 elections? The DUmmies went into it brimming with confidence that they would INCREASE their slim majority in the Senate and win back the House. Instead, the DUmmies LOST the Senate as well as several seats in Congress. As a result, they went into full meltdown mode for several days with DUmmieland unable to operate at all. Well, the meltdown of 2002 (and 2004) will be nothing compared to the complete DUmmie implosion if they LOSE again this year as you can see in this THREAD titled, "I am making a stand, here, now, for the 2006 Elections- our last stand?" Yes, one can easily picture Custer's Last Stand where the DUmmies go trotting into electoral battle once again brimming with their typical overconfidence only to find themselves wiped out at the polls. If they lose this November it will push them so far over the cliffs of sanity as to destroy whatever chances the DUmmiecrats have in 2008 and the future. They absolutely CAN'T stand to lose this year. Of course, a great fringe benefit of the DUmmiecrats losing in November is that it will get my DUmmie Ant Farm so stirred up that it would be a great source for endless hilarious DUmmie FUnnies editions. So let us watch the DUmmies nervously approach their "Last Stand" in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, assuring the DUmmies that Major Janet Reno is on her way to their rescue, is in the [brackets]

I am making a stand, here, now, for the 2006 Elections- our last stand?

[Last stand? Where's your overconfidence, DUmmie FogerRox. Please continue with your less than enthusiastic view of your electoral chances...]

I mean if everything seems to be looking good going into November-- and the elections dont break the one party rule head lock the repubs have, is that our last stand? If the DEMs do get the House back, and do squat. Is that your last stand?

[DUmmies Last Stand. And remember, Custer's troops saved the last bullet for themselves.]

Does Diebold, Sequoia & ES&S have an utter stranglehold on 100% of the voting machines? 100% of the votes, I doubt it. Not all of them, I think. I feel we must put up the fight of the Century for Campaign 2006. We need to generate the most turnout in modern history. We need to have a 50 state effort to push the repubs back at every front. We need national issues to act as coat-tails to help the most DEM candidates.

[The trouble is that your own Democrats don't want to run on issues. They avoid the topic altogether. Oh, and we have a stranglehold on only about 95% of the voting machines. Continue...]

WE need Democratic landslides against the republican cabal.

[You NEED Democrat landslides, DUmmie FogerRox or you will be heading back to the Rubber Room again.]

Fund raising: start with house parties and then think bigger. We can drown out the lobby money with ten and twenty dollar contributions, if we start now. I am planning to raise at least 50 grand by this summer, & I hope to be quitting my regular job for a staffers position in a Congressional race. I will put my all into Campaign 2006, because if I dont, and we dont get the House back by just one race, it will be my fault. This is no time to leave any balls on the table, this is the time to swing at every pitch.

[Does this mean you will be giving 50 Gs of your OWN money, DUmmie FogerRox, or that you will be merely shilling for it from others? Oh, glad to see that you are planning to quit your day job to get an UNPAID staffer's gig for the campaign.]

I'm drawing a line in the sand . I'm making MY STAND right here . right now.

[...Proclaimed DUmmie FogerRox, bravely casting a shadow from his glowing monitor in the depths of Mommy's basement.]

Lets start using the DU Campaign 2006 resources. Power to the People !

[That's just the ticket! Kick off the 2006 Democrat campaign with a commie slogan. Power to the DUmmies! And now to hear from the rest of the DUmmie Peanut Gallery...]

I believe we have to win in 08 period, E-voting is the fly in the pudding. If they have enough precincts locked up, then we're screwed and so is america. But E-voting isn't a done deal, because ever state has not jumped on the electronic voting band wagon. So allot of work has to be done to get the vote out, and try and convince people that still think it doesn't matter who you vote for, to take a leap of faith and vote for our candidate.

[ALL your Diebolds belong to US!]

Take the fight to the face of the Bush Cabal

[Proclaimed DUmmie FogerRox, squatting behind the door with the face of a Quarter Moon.]

2006 or bust!!!!! This is not the time to want to win one race at a time, we have to win a multitude of races, all on Election Day.

[Lucy is holding the 2006 electoral football and is awaiting your kicking foot.]

"2006 or bust!!!!! " . . . . . . . .EHHH HAWwwww

[Is that you, Howard Dean?]

I've been registering voters since 1976 and will continue until the last call this year. After that if it is still rigged, I am done.

[You are toast.]

We can win. We can get a net gain of 6 Senate seats and 15+ House seats. If you factor in the E-Voting problem, a double digit Democratid lead will result in a net gain of 25 seats. That's good.

[Enjoying your trip to Fantasy Land?]

I am a bit of a pariah. I'm the lady with the 2ft x 4ft fluorescent green sign that says * lies in her yard. I'm the one with the number of the dead soldiers written in the back window of my car in big purple numbers with *4 lies* next to it. I write the LTTE asking them to contact their critters and demand they actually work for us.

[You are a bit of a nutcase.]

I have registered many voters on a one on one basis since I first voted in 1976. Many have become very disillusioned and stopped voting at all even with my offers to give rides to the polls, especially after the debacle of 2004.

[Your garbage breath might have more than a little to do with that ride offer refusal.]

I dont own a house, drive a '81 Toyota. I drive a taxi for living.

[Oh, so THAT'S the terrific day job you plan on quitting, DUmmie FogerRox. Such a sacrifice on your part. And I guess that also answers the question about whether it is YOUR 50 grand you plan on raising.]

ALSO, and VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN we lose--and I think that is very likely in '06, given the electronic voting circumstances--people will KNOW WHY, and this will, a) keep them from being demoralized and disempowered (because knowing the reasons for things DOES help--it gets your mind working on SOLUTIONS); and b) create a constituency for getting rid of these machines and restoring transparent elections.

[It's so refreshing that you are setting yourself up already with EXCUSES for FAILURE.]

I hope we can turn it around and more indictments in Ohio will show that things were rigged. This might encourage them to try again. But without the corporate media screaming it loud many will never know it was another theft of an election.

[I heard that the Tooth Fairy is about to be indicted in Ohio for electoral fraud.]

the best I've felt is when I am resisting fighting Bush. Whether its protesting the war or being a low level staffer in the Kerry campaign I always find it satisfying. Seriously, this feels great. If I wasnt part of the resistance, I would be watching CATV and probably drinking too much. And I might start smokin pot again. And fire up a TV dinner. And do some more drugs. After a while my Kidneys will start fail.

[What was that campaign staffer job you plan on getting, DUmmie FogerRox?]

We now have a window of opportunity to get it back--at the state/local level. While we should of course participate in the '06 election, and do whatever we can to elect good people despite Diebold/ES&S's thumb on the scales, our PRIORITY should be RESTORING TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS, a longer term project. So '06 may be more a matter of gathering evidence in an organized way--not just to challenge election results, but to challenge and change the election SYSTEM.

[Translation: After we lose in '06, we will go on a wild goose chase.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-09-06 ("The RoadMap to Impeachment: 'Violence' is The Answer")

The DUmmie implosion is proceeding apace as you can see in this THREAD titled, "The RoadMap to Impeachment: 'Violence' is The Answer." DUmmie author, Senator, placed "Violence" in quotes since he means the DUmmies should get "violent" not in the physical sense (which would get him arrested for publicly advocating it) but in the ANNOYING sense. Yes, DUmmie "genius" Senator wants the DUmmies to act incredibly ANNOYING in order to draw attention to their lost cause of impeachment. Ironically, by following DUmmie Senator's RoadMap advice, they are just harming their dopey cause even more since such tactics would only turn off MORE voters at the polls this November. So let us journey down the RoadMap to annoying DUmmie insanity in Bolshevik Red while the comments of your humble reporter, watching the DUmmies follow the RoadMap that leads directly off the electoral cliff, is in the [brackets]:

The RoadMap to Impeachment: "Violence" is The Answer

[The RoadMap to Defeat: "Violence" is The Answer.]

I've been asked to create a (votable) thread for this.

[I vote your thread the Nuttiest Thread of the Day, DUmmie Senator. Please lay out your insanity for us all to laugh at...]

It is my reaction to the Harper's Magazine Impeachment event from Thursday night. I found the discussion there brought a specific problem into sharp relief:

We all know what needs to happen, but we seem at a loss for "how to make in so."

[By making the EVIL Republicans laugh so hard that they don't notice your dopey impeachment manuevers?]

From Mr. Conyers's blog:

[I'm chuckling already. Continue...]

We had a rousing and informative evening last night in New York at the impeachment forum hosted by Harpers Magazine. ...

There was a lot of discussion about how impeachment should be presented, how we develop more support -- among Members and in the Media, and most importantly, where we go from here...

I have no doubt that not only would we take back the House and the Senate, but that we would be able to hold the Bush Administration accountable for their mistatements, misteps, and yes, their lies...

[Yeah, make this November's election theme that of impeachment. Hee! Hee!]

I think last night was a milestone. It was so gratifying to see all of our hard work in action outside the beltway...

[It was a milestone whose weight will sink you in November. Now back to the impeachment rantings of DUmmie Senator...]

Since I was lucky enough to be in attendance, I want to report that the most "rousing" part of the evening -- bringing the audience to their feet -- was the introduction of Mr. Conyers himself.

["And now the STAR of the evening, Mr. Insanity himself, HEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNNNNNY!!!"]

And while I'll agree that the event was a milestone, I must also agree with the lukewarm reaction of the Salon reporter. Mainly because there was very little from the panel on what Mr. Conyers identifies in his entry here as most important: "where we go from here."

[To the candy store to buy lollipops to suck on?]

And this is where I must take issue and be frank; because the "where" is not in question. Mr. Conyers held the "where" in his hand; a special committee to investigate charges. It is the "how" that is in question and "develop more support" is not specific enough to be actionable. While I don't claim to have any magic bullet, I would like to suggest where the discussion was lacking on this issue because I think these failures are pervasive (on the left) and, at least to some degree, correctable.

[DUmmie Senator pauses to deeply analyze his navel...]

So is most important "how do we proceed?" No, MOST important is "what do we do about it right now!" And there is a big difference between those 2 phrases.

[Does this mean we need to send out yet another totally useless DUAC alert?]

To illustrate I'll report the fuller context of Mr. Conyers's phrase (above) - "and yes, their lies." There was a well-received question from the audience lamenting that none of the panelists used the word "lied." The point needs to be well taken that we've all been trained to speak (and therefore think) in euphemisms; particularly those who speak publicly. Screaming "imminent conflagration" will not compel a movie house crowd to move to safety.

[That's the ticket. Don't HIDE your insanity. Let it all hang out for everyone to see.]

Former Congresswoman Holtzman illustrated a different failure. She remains convinced that "more information" can solve the problem. When enough people "know," they will rise up. Like many on the left, she refuses to accept the fact that only the "reality-based community" prizes knowledge above belief. We cannot "teach" our way to impeachment.

[You mean like the "reality-based community" of DUmmieland where they BEEEEELEEEEVE that John Kerry will be inaugurated as President on Jan. 20 or that chanting a faux Hopi Indian Prayer will ward off the EVIL REPUBLICANS or that Al Gore is president in the Parallel Universe or buying into the astrological prediction that Bush will soon leave office because the moon is rising in Uranus?]

Mr. Lapham, after reading the Conyers report, has correctly concluded intellectually that there is a "slam dunk" case and that our nation is in peril. Therefore he politely lays the burden to act on the Congress, in their collegial, non-partisan capacity as oath-takers. (Insert your own joke/expletive here.)

[It's a "slam dunk" case that Mr. Lapham's mind is in peril.]

Mr. Rattner is pursuing and recommends a "legal" solution. While it may be helpful to have the regime "found guilty" of some crime in some court, he urged to panel to focus on the most easily provable (already proven?) impeachable offense(s). He has published a cogent, precise brief of only the clearest violations. Thereby giving them less to fight back against?!?

[You might have a chance to have the Bush Regime found guilty in the Extreme Court of Iran.]

And of course the entire evening was peppered to some degree with our usual rationalizations for inaction: "but we'll just get Cheney" -- "we must wait 'till we take the house" -- "what about electoral backlash." Not to mention the lobby talk about futility, being doomed, and confident pronouncements of "never gonna happen."

[A room full of Charlie Browns doomed to have the footballs pulled away from them by a plethora of Lucys.]

So, how do we overcome this -- what do we do right now?

[Type ANGRILY at the keyboard in Mommy's basement!]

Get violent. (Come again?!?) No, not physically violent. Rather intellectually, politically, and rhetorically violent. We are dealing with fascist thugs/cowards and must deal with them and their tactics accordingly. The public and euphemedia must be slapped to attention and our "leaders" and/or the perpetrators must be forced and/or frightened into action and/or surrender.

[Yeah. Somehow our leaders will be cowered into surrendering because the DUmmies soil themselves in angry frustration. That strategy will be sure to work...NOT!]

This violence is in self-defense. These people don't listen to reason. In fact, they pride themselves on their preference for "belief." Labels like theocracy, monarchy, totalitarian, and authoritarian are irrelevant -- it's all some form of fascism; the conviction that some minority has a right to rule the majority. Whether it's based on divine right, a master race, a family dynasty, or a power theory makes absolutely no difference.

[Overlooking the "tiny little" fact that the Republicans have been winning at the ballot boxes which actually makes them the MAJORITY.]

It is Anti-American. And it needs to fought, not managed.

[WAAAAAAH!!! The election results did not turn out the way we wanted so we will fight back by crybabying in rage and soiling our diapers! WAAAAAAH!!!]

We need to make "violent use" of whatever means we have.

[Translation: Violently continue to useslessly tap away at our keyboards.]

For nearly all of us that only means contact with "leaders" (in person, faxing, etc) and the euphemedia (emails, calls, LTTEs).

[DUAC! DUAC!]

For bloggers, that means public assault (not polite differing). Particularly with those whose silence makes them complicit with this ongoing treason. (See democrats.com -- just replicate.)

[Great! Attack the Democrats as well. It's called SELF-DESTRUCTION.]

For those with benefit of a larger megaphone, media-related and political "leaders," that means risking the loss of that megaphone -- shouting the unvarnished truth then turning viciously on those who will (euphemistically) try to dismiss and dillute your message.

[And while acting vicious, try to work up a good head of rabid foam around the mouth to enhance the enraged effect.]

By ALL these means we must ALL do the same things:

We need to banish euphemisms. Period. In fact, we need to employ hyperbole when possible. But since "war crimes," "torture," and "terrorized the nation into war" are merely descriptive, it could be difficult to find hyperbole. We must try our best.

[Translation: Lie like hell if need be.]

The simple fact is that a large segment of the public has been well-trained to ONLY hear such language; and worse to equate such anger/alarm with importance/urgency. Sad? Yes, but we must deal with it as it exists.

["You don't like the fact that we sound like crazed Moonbats? TOUGH LUCK!"]

If you find yourself trying to be polite or subtle, or even just witty, stop it and just be blunt.

[I find DUmmie Senator to be as subtle as a Buffalo Fart.]

The regime DID NOT "sidestep," "ignore," "go around," or "flaunt." They DID NOT "overreach," "cross the line," or "display hubris." They BROKE THE LAW. They VIOLATED SWORN TREATIES. They SHREDDED THE CONSTITUTION. They COMMITTED WAR CRIMES.

[Which do you prefer first? Electro-shock therapy or another Lithium treatment?]

We need to up the ante. Make them an offer they dare not refuse. Threaten. Blackmail. Whatever ugly word you want to put on it.

[Blackmail the EVIL BUSH REGIME!!! Thanx for that revealing bit of HONESTY.]

We must hand over for international prosecution those whose actions have warranted it. The torture and war crimes charges are "above our pay grade." We can expect zero moral standing in the world if we do not abide by the treaties these criminals have violated in our names. Redemption of our National Soul demands nothing less.

[The horrible, horrible torture of the Gitmo prisoners with air conditioning followed by a hearty orange glaze chicken and rice pilaf dinner.]

We will take the money back. Yes, the "tax kickbacks." Yes, the crony contracts. Yes, the not-so-blind trusts. Every penny we can find.

[Tax cuts are now called "tax kickbacks" in DUmmieSpeak as a way of justifying the Bolshevizing of our economy.]

We will reverse ALL acts of this never-legitimate regime. All appointments. All legislation. All Executive Orders. We need to cleanse the social fabric of their contamination.

[Cleanse? I thought you wanted to banish euphemisms. Therefore lets use the REAL words: Purge and Liquidate (kill).]

We must resolve to never stop. We will never "get over it." We must loudly declare that we will have our children take up this challenge if necessary. This will be our legacy.

[Keep typing. The Happy Doc is taking notes on your legacy rant.]

Perhaps the largest applause (save Mr. Conyers intro) was in reaction to the statement that you don't have to still be in office to be impeached. We need to make it clear that this goes beyond election cycles. There is no short term attention span to hide in. We will impeach and convict them posthumously if necessary.

[Translation: You are insane enough to believe that you can retroactively impeach Ronald Reagan.]

This is already true with Bully Bill Rhenquist. We must make clear that ALL crimes against the nation will be accounted for. This includes both stolen elections. The Felonious Five and all other perpetrators of anti-democratic, thereby Anti-American, acts will be accused, tried, and punished. No matter how long it take or how many resources it requires.

[Why not just travel back to the past in a Time Machine and set everything right, errr, left?]

We cannot get lost in "legalisms," "strategies," or our usual "neuroses."

[Translation: Screw the law! We must do whatever it takes to bring down the EVIL BUSH REGIME!!!]

We waste far too much time and effort falling victim to "paralysis by analysis." It is irrelevant at this point what any ultimate impeachment charges may be lodged. ALL crimes and misdemeanors of the regime will need to be brought to bear. From the first Stolen Election to the latest Indian nuclear "free pass" debacle/PR stunt.

[So would misswallowing of a pretzel be an impeachment charge against Bush?]

We must stop worrying about what "they do." Will they change the rules? Will there be backlash? Will they start jailing people? This obsession with the perpetrators is akin to a "battered syndrome." We must really let the chips fall where they may.

[We must stop worry about if we appear to be NUTS!!!]

We must make EVERYTHING about impeachment. Don't be "anti-war," demand impeachment over the "criminal war." Don't be "pro-environment," demand impeachemnt over "defecating on our environment." Don't be "fiscally responsible," demand impeachment for "looting the nation." You get the idea -- don't you "issue wonks?"

[Open your windows, stick your heads out, and scream: "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I WANT IMPEACHMENT NOW!!!"]

That's it. Thanks for reading this far.

[You're welcome...and the meds are on the way.]

Now, let get on with it and FINISH THIS THING.

[I predict you won't even get past the doorway of Mommy's basement.]

There really is no other moral or patriotic option.

[Actually, Rubber Room incarceration is definitely an option here. Now to listen to the DUmmie chorus responding to DUmmie Senator's pathological plea...]

Same as filibuster until we win the House.

[Uh-Oh. A dash of cold water being tossed on DUmmie Senator's pathological plan.]

Taking back the House seems quite possible, but all we need to do now is bring 15 House Rs back over to reality.

[DUmmie Senator defends his plan by proposing that EVIL Republicans will buy his distorted vision of reality. The same envisioned reality that the DUmmies thought would make John Kerry president on Jan. 20, 2005 if they only wished hard enough for it.]

I'm certainly not pulling any punches any longer.

[Did you ever? DUmmies have always been over the edge of reality.]

if you want to hurt these fascists in the deepest recesses, hit them in the pocketbook. withhold your $$. bleed them dry.

[Not One Damn Dime Day.]

The warp and woof of social integration have been shredded. Our sense of interconnectedness unravelled.

[Any common SENSE you ever had has long ago been warped and woofed.]

When we took up the fight to reject Alito, we would have been far more effective if we had focused SOLELY on rejecting the lunacy of a Stalinist unitary authoritarian executive in America. Alito is a co-conspirator in their treasonous effort to nullify our constitution. Confronting the nation with the criminal violations of our laws and our most fundamental constitutional principles would have moved us down the road to impeachment in a way that fighting to save Roe simply cannot do.

[DUmmies think that the MAJORITY senate and president choosing someone they want to become a Supreme Court justice is somehow authoritarian.]

Thanks for highlighting the "Trip to the Hague"
This is a point that I think can really resonate, even with the most cynical and apathetic.

[Yeah. Having a foreign court try the President for war crimes will really resonate with the public...in the DUmmie Zone.]

The DC/Euphemedia Analstocracy can try to happy-talk us into Hilary all they want. Unless and until she owns up there will still be conditions in place for another "dean-like" campaign from the outside, supported by the principled base. Actually, true front-runner status is Barbara Boxer's just for the asking.

[Karl Rove has already picked Hillary for you so there is no use bellyaching about that fact.]

And we could reach a tipping point at any time. A point where all our efforts start rolling downhill, energized by the momentum of their moral ascendency. Any one of these new scandals could be the last straw: the ports, the spying, even the Pat Tillman story. We may have broken their grip already. We only see the effects some time after it happens.

[We already know you LOST your grip on reality, DUmmie Senator.]

Find and support real leaders who are after change and for people...Ultimately, my most pressing call to action has been to erect and maintain the first bill board in the US on I-95 that states Be Patriotic Impeach Bush with our Constitution in the background. This has been a lightning rod throughout the blogosphere. Like most things it needs to be an ember that is stoked. A copy of the bill board and Daily Kos diary write up are at: www.carlsheeler.com

[That input came from DUmmie Carl Sheeler, a candidate for Senate from Rhode Island. I hope you win, Carl. The primary that is... HEE! HEE!]

It is time to be truly reasonable and spend our time acting. Even when we don't think anything will work, we must still act when principle demands it.

[If your acting is as good as that of William Shatner's, you're in big trouble. Oh, don't forget to watch "How William Shatner Changed The World" on the History Channel this Sunday. Shatner is taking credit for inspiring the Diebold voting machines.]

I've certainly had enough. I'm ready and willing, sign me up. I am taking individual action and can work in a group also.

[Just as long as it doesn't involve having to tear yourself away from the keyboard. DUAC! DUAC!]

I am almost genetically incapable of euphemism

[However you are definitely genitically incapable of rationality.]

Our only option is to fight them at every turn, and ultimately force Bush, Cheney, and their co-conspirators out of power, and punish them for their crimes.

[Your only option is to seek help now by calling the mental health hotline -- 1-800-BUSH-WON.]

It is long past time for massive...
civil disobedience in this country. I'm not talking about 10s of thousands marching, I'm talking about 10s of thousands marching to the White House and having a massive sit-it or chaining themselves to the gates.

[Yeah, lock yourselves to the White House gates and then discover your dilemma a couple of hours later when your bladder and/or bowels come calling for relief.]

The resolution will not be euphemized

[But it WILL be satirized...in the DUmmie FUnnies.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-07-06 ("Save Air America Phoenix")

This title of this DUmmie THREAD, "Save Air America Phoenix," will soon morph into "Save Air America New York." Hey DUmmies! You think you have problems now with Err America going off the air in Phoenix? Well, in less than a month Err America will probably be going off the air on its flagship WLIB New York station as you can see in this New York Post story, AIR AMERICA TUNED OUT? And WHY is Err America flickering out all over the country? Simple. The Err America hosts suck, specifically they are BORRRRRING as even the DUmmies themselves have acknowledged in this DUmmie FUnnies edition from last summer titled, Could Al Franken get any more annoying?. Here are some sample DUmmie quotes (in Bolshevik Red) from that edition on just how incredibly DULL Al Franken is:

"...the thing is, he repeats and repeats and repeats the stuff over and over again as if we hadn't got the point in the first place."

"I don't listen to Randi either. She gets on my nerves."

"I am beginning to dislike Al Franken's show too (oh no). Jerry Springer, bleech. Randi Rhodes sucks too. The Majority Report is difficult to listen to, too many jokes. Mike Malloy is nazi this, and nazi that."

"Franken is biding his time until he runs for the senate...BUT...they should cancel his show....It is HIDEOUS and you get very little info from him..."

"I turned him off months ago, when he kept blathering on and on and on about Social Security after it was already a dead issue. He is pathetic and hopeless..."

"Annoying? Yes. He`s like fingernails on a chalkboard. For the life of me, I can not understand why Franken wastes so much valuable time with crap like the 'Oy Oy Oy Show'..."

"I haven't really been able to listen to his show for more than a few minutes at a time for months now."

"He has no concept, no clue at all, of how to host a listenable, interesting, thought-provoking radio program."

"Franken is tedious, repetitive and ingratiating not to mention self-absorbed, uninteresting, breaks no new ground and unfunny. interrupts his guests incessantly, thinking his words to be far more interesting than what they might have to offer. Why doesn't he just interview himself?"

"The annoying thing about The Al Franken show is that he wastes so much of the show time. If he is not stuttering and saying 'uhhhh' a 1000 times before he spits out what he is bumbling, he is babbling about stuff no one cares about. There are just so many dumb skits that are not that funny."

Keep in mind that these slams at Err America and Al Franken don't come from vicious rightwingers. No, these harsh critiques were posted by DUmmies themselves. Therefore if even leftwingers can't stand listening to Err America, what chance does that artificially produced radio network have? Answer: Somewhere between SLIM and NONE. One by one the lights are being shut off on the Err America stations despite efforts by crazed Liberal billionaires to keep it on life support thru cash infusions. Therefore let us now attend the funeral of yet another Err America station as the DUmmies grieve in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, looking forward to the Err America wake for its New York flagship station in a few weeks, is in the [brackets]:

Save Air America Phoenix

[Save Air America New York.]

On March 1, 2006 our Air America Phoenix station was bought by a Christian Broadcasting company who immediately took us off the air. This was a “dark” day for progressive talk radio in America. You have flooded us with emails pleading to get Air America back on the radio and asking how you can help. We have heard your cries and we can get us back on the air by April 3, 2006 !

The former staff of Air America Phoenix has negotiated a deal to resurrect operations at a new home effective April 3, 2006 but we need your help! We must immediately raise money to cover our operating expenses out of the gate. Our goal of $500,000 will guarantee us a home for years to come.

http://saveairamericaphoenix.com

If anyone can help, the people of Phoenix sure need your support!!!!!

[Err America is just $10 away from staying on the air in Phoenix.]

Who got all the money from the SALE to the Chrisitian company?
Why aren't they investing again if it was such a profitable company? Something doesn't smell right here.

[You think the sellers want to toss their money down the Err America toilet AGAIN?]

After the station went dark, there was an outpouring of folks who kept asking what they could do to help the station get back on, and one of them was to offer donations. Well, here's everyone's chance to donate if they are inclined to do so.

[Bev Harris will handle the fundraising from her 5 star hotel suite.]

I will send this information to everyone on our AZ PDA list
hopefully it will help generate some donations.

[Just locate the same suckers who blew their dough on BBV and you should get yourself a few extra bucks.]

I'm kind of confused. Is this to help a company buy an existing radio frequency? Why not sell advertising?

[BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That is EXACTLY the problem with Err America. The entire network sucks so badly that they get few advertising dollars. If Err America had been interesting you folks would be EXPANDING not CONTRACTING. Remember, Rush Limbaugh got not one damn dime of rich rightwing donor dollars. He was successful because his show is INTERESTING and has NO TROUBLE attracting advertising dollars.]

The site is legit. DONATE!

[Gimme money. NOW!]

This smells like a scam - sorry but that website has NO
identifying information. It just claims to be organized by the "Air America Phoenix" former staff - why aren't their personal photos up there? Why aren't their email addresses there? No personal messsages from individual staff members, why not?
Looks fake - there is ZERO credibility on that site.

[A scam being pepetrated in DUmmieland? Who could even suspect such a thing!]

If it is a scam. It is a right wing neocon scam. Trying to scam money from the good honest people trying get out solid information to the masses.

[It's George Bush's fault!!!]

Get f*cking real...until you have some facts stating otherwise, reach into your pocket pull out a ten dollar bill and help out...

[You're just $10 away from...Hey! Didn't Bev Harris use that pitch?]

I just personally called Jeff Farias, producer of the Mike Newcomb show on the former 1010 KXXT. This site is legit people, please help and donate. The site will soon have a voice recording of Jeff asking/thanking us for the donations, so please help. It is legit. Buy a brick and help AA Phoenix resurrect itself from its ashes. Web site is very very new is all.

[I just clicked on the link and the website isn't even working. But don't worry, I will blindly donate money NOW!]

There are web scams going on all the time - so I'm SORRY for trying to warn our Democratic/Liberal friends that they might be getting scammed out of their hard earned $$$.

[A web scam in DUmmieland? Sorry but that could NEVER happen. Bev Harris told me.]

I just called, the $$$ is going into an escrow account at PayPal. this is the real deal folks, they are trying to get it done by April 1st

[April 1? Wink! Wink! Note that date? Wink! Wink!]

Why are WE donating to the start up of a FOR-PROFIT company?
This doesn't make any sense - it's not like this is NPR. This is a group of people that just recently made a BUNCH of money selling off the original AARPHX radio station (which was profitable) and now they want it's loyal listeners to GIVE them money so they can just sell it off again (for more money)? If AAR wants to start another radio station, why can't they get REAL investors?

[A better question would be why can't Err America get REAL advertisers?]

1) I don't even trust the credibility of the website in question

2) Even if I did, the whole principle of the matter is bullshit.

3) If AAR is selling off radio stations for $$$, then they can do that, but don't expect the loyal listeners they just abandoned to give them more $$$.

[Your Kewpie Doll is in the mail due to your having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

If the Christian broadcasters can raise money from their flock to buy airtime then so can we!

[Methinks that a flock of DUmmies is about to be FLEECED.]

Call me a skeptic. But every time we have one of the fund raising deals on DU, it turns ugly, with people accusing each other of scamming. Why not turn to John Sperling, founder of the University of Phoenix, who also lives in that desert hell-hole? He's rich and supports liberal causes.

[Yeah. Why bother even trying to produce interesting radio programs that could attract advertisers when we can just hit up rich liberals for bucks?]

I'll be happy to donate and I have no qualms at all about donating to a for-profit radio station. I believe there is no way the Republicans could have come into power without dominating the radio markets and flooding the airwaves with their talking points. And their stations and shows didn't all start out making a profit, they had plenty of help along the way from big donors and the religious fanatics.

[The Rush Limbaugh show was profitable from the get-go WITHOUT begging for bucks from rich donors. I listened to Rush the first month he went on the air in 1988 and I IMMEDIATELY knew he would be successful because his show was INTERESTING and would thus easily attract a big audience plus advertising dollars. Something that Err America has utterly FAILED at doing.]

Just donated. Will hit up friends and family too to join the battle.

[So your friends and family are suckers too?]

I gave 10 bucks and already received a thank you e-mail.

[You're just $10 away from receiving a thank you e-mail.]

I would donate if... I knew I was getting something in return. The biggest problem I've had with AAR is lack of advertising. I live in Atlanta and see billboards for crappy little radio stations all over town. I have never once seen any kind of advertisement for Air Atlanta.

[I was about to award you with a Kewpie Doll for realizing that Err America's big problem is lack of advertising (due to lack of audience) but then I had to take it back when I saw your followup sentence in which you meant lack of advertising FOR Err America. Sorry, your problem is lack of advertising REVENUE, not a the lack of a bunch of dopey billboards hyping the incredibly BORRRRING Err America. Therefore NO Kewpie Doll for you.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-06-06 ("Do you get the sense they are trying to force Hillary on us?")

The DUmmies are FINALLY waking up to the fact that Hillary is being FOISTED upon them as the 2008 Democrat presidential nominee whether they like it or not as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Do you get the sense they are trying to force Hillary on us?" The most FUn thing of the next presidential campaign season will be to watch the DUmmie implosion when Hillary steamrollers over her primary opponents. Therefore, my advice to the DUmmies is to assume the fetal position with thumbs stuck in their mouths and RELAX. There is absolutely NOTHING you can do to change the inevitability of Hillary's impending nomination followed by her DEFEAT in the general election. At this point there is only ONE "White Knight" who can save you from Hillary and that is Al Gore but guess what? That WON'T be happening. Yes, Gore could rally all the leftists together to defeat Hillary but Gore has gone off the deep end and won't be running for president ever again no matter how much the DUmmies beg him to run. As usual the DUmmie protests in vain against the Perfect Rovian Plan is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble reporter, wondering how quickly Pied Piper Pitt will begin shamelessly flakking for Hillary, is in the [brackets]:

Do you get the sense they are trying to force Hillary on us?

[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll right out of the starting gate for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

They being republicans and the MSM. I mean if they say it enough, her poll numbers will keep going up among likely Dem candidates and we will get stuck with her just because of name recognition. It is entirely possible that people are that dumb. How did Bush get re-elected after a failed first term? Putting Diebold explanations aside it could have been simply the effective swift boat ads, name recognition of an emcumbent, and the fear factor that was created by the Rovian machine. You have to ask yourself, would Bush have OK'd this Dubai port deal before the 2004 elections? Not a chance in hell. Bush grabbed that 7-10% clueless vote from people that tend to vote for a) name on top of the ballot b) name most recognizable c) name least demonized in the press In this case Bush fit all three criteria. If polling of independents is any indication of how the country feels now, Bush's presidency is in deep trouble, 2006 looks good for Dems, and 2008 looks great for a Dem presidency.

[Karl Rove is paving the way for you folks to snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory yet AGAIN.]

That being said, the Hillary factor is throwing everything off. They know they can vilify Hillary and pull it off. I believe they are most scared of Gore as a candidate. The candidate that they couldn't attack personally and brings the added dimension of "let's see what would have happened if things would have gone the other way in 2000." After 8 years of hell, people would love to have Clinton/Gore times back. Hopefully they will see this as best being achieved with the nomination of Gore and not Hillary Clinton.

Although I think Clark, Feingold and several other Dem candidates would make excellent presidents, I think Gore is the rightful heir of the backlash that is about to take place. We have to sink Hillary's momentum now. She is a distraction and has been an embarrassment to the Democratic party as of late.

[You can yearn for Al Gore all you want but his candidacy WON'T be happening. Look to Hillary as your pre-selected 2008 candidate.]

Yes. That's been obvious to me from the beginning.

[Therefore accept your fate and passively assume the fetal position with thumb firmly in mouth.]

I would love to see Gore run again! I think the country would go wild for him this time around!

[Thanx for giving us the Al Gore theme song: "Wild Thing." And if a certain pastoral personality were not currently in a state of Lent, we would even have the updated words to that song.]

The thing I dislike most about Gore... Is that he picked Lieberman. I did not like Lieberman THEN, and I dislike him more NOW. Gore, of all people, should have known the REAL Lieberman...the one we are all too chagrined to see in the media. Maybe I am the only one who faults Gore for this...but I do.

[So you are saying that your savior, Gore, did not recognize his betraying Jewdas?]

I think in 2008 will be the perfect time for a true blue progressive to run whether Gore, Kerry or Feingold. Any of them could easily pull it off I think.

[Sorry. That scenario runs counter to the Rovian Game Plan.]

By framing the situation, the 'pubs either have the Dems on the defensive or they keep them silent.

[The RATS are soooo easy to frame.]

Hillary is the safety valve for the ruling class!
The one thing the ruling class fears the most is that working Americans will suddenly realize they have been taken for a ride by both major parties and begin to push for real radical reforms. The only way to prevent that is by maintaining the pretense of an opposition party, so if public discontent with Bush reaches a critical mass, the elites can quickly rally around an "opposition" candidate that they know won't turn the apple cart.

[That was Indiana Green injecting his/her usual class warfare shtick into the arguement. Some have said that Indiana Green is a professor at an Indiana college. Will he/she be the NEXT Jay Bennish?]

I think Gore/Edwards would have an incredibly hard job...but they might have a chance of pulling us out of the death spiral.

[Emperor Palpatine prefers that they remain confined on the Death Star.]

They wish with all the evil in their greedy little hearts that Hillary would be the Dem candidate....and they think we are soooooooooo stupid that if they say it enough, we will do it.

[Hey DUmmie mexicoxpat! I will be flagging your name to check for your crazed rantings when Hillary IS nominated in 2008.[

Oh, most definitely. Hillary would divide the Dems and rally the "I Hate Hitlery" Pubs. That's why she CANNOT BE the nominee. If by some chance she is our nominee, I will know, in my heart of hearts, that things are so irretrievably broken that it's time to pull up stakes and leave. It will mean that "they" own everything, and we have little more than the poor Russians did during the Communist heyday, when you got to vote between two indistinguishable Communists.

[Heads, we WIN. Tails, you LOSE.]

A Hillary nomination would be the worst thing that could happen to us, IMO. The right hates her, the left doesn't trust her, and the middle would probably vote McCain, assuming he runs. It's a very, very bad idea.

[Which means it's a very, very good idea.]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-02-06 ("I just got home from Iraq....")

It was a grand scene in DUmmieland. A Marine veteran of Iraq returned home and began posting his observations for the DUmmies. Surely this vet would VALIDATE the leftwing worldview of the DUmmies, right? Well, things didn't quite work out as the DUmmies expected as you can see in this THREAD titled, "I just got home from Iraq...." So let us now watch this drama unfold in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the DUmmie expectations being shattered yet again against the rocks of reality, is in the [brackets]:

I just got home from Iraq....

[As The Sad Little Pony Marine is about to give the DUmmies a Sad Little Story...]

As some may recall, I was mobilized and sent to Iraq (Fallujah and West Anbar) for the past 8 months. It was interesting, to say the least.

I served as an advisor to an Iraqi Army Battlaion, as both the infantry advisor and an intelligence advisor.

Does anyone have any questions about my tour/what it's like/etc.?

I just got home on Friday. (saw my 7 month old son for the first time).

[Uh-Oh. Somehow I don't think the DUmmies are going to like the answers this Marine is going to give them.]

First of all thank you for going over there. Second, do you know if it's true that now there are none Iraq troops ready? I heard this on Stephanie Miller's show earlier. Did you find out any of the other troopers, Iraqi or American, feelings about everything going on now?

[Please, please affirm our leftwing viewpoint!]

It's not true.

[Now that you quickly slapped down that DUmmie misconception about the readiness of the Iraqi troops, please continue trying to enlighten the DUmmies...]

I'd say that about half of the Iraqi Battalions are ready to operate independently. Our Battalion (as did many other) had its own battlespace in Fallujah. They were very successful. With less support and assets, they managed to capture more "bad guys" than any of the Marine units of equal size (Companies).
They lack competent logistical support from higher, though. Much of that is due to corruption in the higher ranks of the Iraqi Army/MOD. The attitude of the Iraqi army towards the current clashes, is pretty much "it's about time". They've sat back and absorbed so much Sunni perpetrated violence, that they are now just hitting back. Most of the so called "sectarian violence" has been one sided; coming from the Sunnis.

[GASP! You...you mean the Iraqi army is actually gung-ho about carrying out its mission? This just does NOT fit in with our misconceptions!]

A new Zogby International poll has 72% of the troops wanting out by year's end. 29% want immediate withdrawal. In your time there, did you get a sense as to whether or not these numbers are accurate?

[That was Pied Piper Pitt relying on another phony poll. Oh, and 72% of all Newton schoolgirls want an immediate withdrawal of lecherous substitute teachers from their private space.]

I just wanted to say that my husband tells me many of the same things. He has met a lot of Iraqis while he has been in Fallujah and he says they are all pretty supportive of our guys who are there. I don't know if he has had a lot of contact with Iraqi military forces though, I think he meets mostly civilians.
I still don't approve of the war, and the death that it has caused, but sometimes I do believe that the press overblows the negatives. I don't know how I feel about that--part of me doesn't care because I want the war to end and whatever turns public opinion is okay, but mostly I'm just sick of the press sucking at its job.
When the war started, they covered it through rose-colored lenses, and now that some aspects are a little better, they're saying that it is worse... I don't know...

[A DUmmie who is edging ever so closely to a Tombstoning.]

What unit were you with? How do you know the disposition of the Iraqi Army? Do you speak arabic?

[A DUmmie attempting to give the Marine a skeptical third degree routine.]

I was with one of the Marine MiTT units. (under RCT8)
Iraqi, I was with the 2nd Bn, 2nd Bde of the 1st Iraqi IIF division.

[Specific answer there. However, the DUmmies seem upset by your answers.]

How were you able to know the "attitude" of the Iraqi army?
If you don't speak arabic. Also, how were you aware of any corruption? Did you witness this corruption? Or did you "hear" about it in briefings and intelligence reports? In the form of what? Theft? Did you witness any atrocities perpetrated by U.S. contractors like MPRI, Dyncorp or Blackwater?

[Back to DUmmie Dogma which believes that the U.S. personnel commits atrocities.]

I speak enough. Plus I had 'terps.
You try going on a couple hundred combat patrols with the Iraqis. You learn their attitude pretty fast. The corruption is apparent in that there are "no show jobs". Ghost Iraqis. Their pay arrives in a giant sack. They have no electronic banking.
If this was so in the US, it would occur there, too. As far as "atrocities" committed by the contractors, no. Those guys are glorified security guards with very little contact with the populace. If they were to try to detain someone, they'd be hammered for it. They didn't have the ass to come into our AO. -too dangerous.

[Thanx for shooting down the DUmmie myth about mercenary contractors committing "atrocities."]

So things are going swimmingly in Iraq? And you have seen no evidence of an impending civil war? Just curious... why are you propagandizing this information on DU? To the conservative f*ck wads that are lurking here. First off let me say you are all cowards. Michelle Malkin is a racist bitch. Rush is a coward who did not serve in the military neither did that limp-dicked Sean Hannity. You people are the most pathetic excuses for human beings and you will have your day to answer for the atrocities and lies that you have perpetrated. You are all cowards. The entire planet despises your disgusting ilk and you will pay. I understand that as most of your parents were indeed siblings your inability to be decent human beings who contribute to society rests in your defective genes. Now you may return to your hate and racism. I once had a "Bad Cat" who would not behave. I put him down because he was diseased and I didn't give it a second thought. You inbred sacks of shit, return to your basements or holes or wherever you crawled from.

[You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! Since the Marine has failed to affirm the standard DUmmie myths we now go into the crazed confrontation faze.]


Because He's Still in the Military He can't talk until he's out, at which point maybe he'll talk about torture, civilian killing, chemical weapons use, looting, corruption, imperialism, bigotry, abuse, intimidation, snipers, urban warfare, propaganda, etc... It ain't going to happen now, he'd be court-martialed. My only question is why'd he join in the 1st place? Was he aware of the illegitamacy of this fake war when he joined? Of course, that can't be answered either.

[Since the DUmmies can't handle the TRUTH, they now fall back on accusing the Marine of lying for fear of court martial.]

People are actually paying bribes to get in the army.

[No, NO! This isn't what we want to hear!!!]

Welcome back, but forgive me if I don't take your experience as definitive.

[Better to rely upon your vast experience of sitting in front of the glowing 'puter screen deep in your parents' basement.]

I would consider all of the violence our troops have inflicted on the Iraqis as provocation enough, especially when coupled with the military support and assistance we are giving the new authority's regime. How do you, as an American, judge and distinguish between the warring groups? Do you support the the new regime because there have been elections, or is there something fundamentally correct about them that they deserve your support? Is any resistance to the new authority justified? Why do you feel Americans should be the ones to sort all of that out, fighting, killing, and dying for the ruling authority, one 'sect' of a disparate population of sects and factions?

[Let loose with the wacko confrontational DUmmie talking points!]

So how are the troops general moral? and a recent poll taken of the troops suggested that a majority feel they should get out of Iraq
in a year or less- Do you find this poll has credence?

[It has as much credence as that poll stating that 72% of the Newton school girls want loathsome substitute teachers out of their private lives.]

Moral is high. At least amongst those of us who were out there in the midst of things.

[PLEASE STOP! MAKE THAT NASTY MARINE STOP!]

I only have one question about Iraq should would we stay or should we go?

[Murtha says go but what does an actual VET of that conflict think?]

Stay for now. -my humble opinion. Leave when the Brigades can operate on their own. If we leave now, there will be a bloodbath.
NOT a "civil war". But a brutal attempt to destroy the insurgency.

[HURRY! HURRY! Tombstone this nasty Marine who refuses to validate our beliefs!]

Next question are Brigades fighting for there democracy or just picking up a pay check. I guess what I am saying is training them a waste of time and money. Do you know what the real count of Iraqis trained.

[DUmmies think ANY effort in Iraq is a waste of time.]

Everyone serves for a reason... some the cash, some the ideal.

[Thanx for an answer that won't satisfy the DUmmies.]

The ideal? What I would like to know is will the ideal protect the rights of Assyrian and other Christians (and Jews) that they had under Saddam Hussein? Will the ideal protect the Kurds right to self-determination?
Will the ideal prohibit torture and the death penalty, or will the Brigades stand by while the insurgency is "brutally crushed" when we are gone? Will the Shiites refrain from attacking the US if we decide to stay once the insurgeny has been brutally crushed by a victorious, Iran-aligned, right wing Shiite regime? That guy in the seersucker suit who ran against Jaafari, described as the "Secularist" leader of Al-Hakim's Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq -- is he (the slimy looking three-piece-suit "secularist" who ran against Jaafari) as "CIA" as he looks to my non-discerning eyes? Don't worry if you can't answer some of these questions to my satisfaction.

[Don't worry. He WON'T be able to answer those questions to your satisfaction since you are already so deluded as to believe that Saddam Hussein was some sort of civil libertarian.]

Also, how close is Iraq to an all out civil war? Does anyone over there like Bush? What is the average US sentiment about Bush? OMG, there's so much more but that will do for now to give us a beginning picture of what the real situation is.

[Please, please gratuitously BASH Bush!]

you have been deceived

[Since the Marine isn't giving us the anwers we require, he must be brainwashed.]

And you know this...because you have been let in the the secret? You must feel very special.

[Good answer, Marine. DUmmies do feel special and entitled.]

you are making yourself look stupid - learn the truth of DU poisoning

[Since your answers are NOT politically correct, you must be stupid.]

Either someone is lying to you, or you aren't getting the whole story..

[DUmmie anger in motion.]

No one's lying to me. No one has mentioned it at all.
We check the box if we've been exposed, no, if we have not. Period.
Grunts don't encounter it, because we don't use it. There haven't been many Anti Tank rounds fired since the push.

[Thanx for shooting down yet more DUmmie Depleted Uranium myths and making them look like Depleted DUmmies.]

No Questions You Could Answer without getting into a whole shtload of trouble here in this "free country". When you are out of the military, come back and talk then.

[Condescension from the DUmmies on embarrassing display.]

I can answer all questions. I just might not give you the answers you are looking for. My view over there was pretty mypoic. I was in Fallujah, and elsewhere in Anbar. I found Fallujah to be a very interesting city. Now that I'm home, I'm going to study the ancient history. It did not "suck beyond belief". It was dangerous. I saw unpleasant things. But I also saw inspiring acts. Lives saved. The little girls are the cutest, brightest things on this planet. Their future in that Wahabi Town is not promising, though.

[You can answer all questions...just NOT to the satisfaction of the DUmmies, my soon-to-be-tombstoned Marine.]

Are 85% of the troops in Iraq either that stupid or brainwashed?

[85% of the troops in Iraq KNOW that the DUmmies are stupid.]

Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed”
While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown. Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame Iraqi public for insurgent attacks
Majority of troops oppose use of harsh prisoner interrogation. Plurality of troops pleased with their armor and equipment. An overwhelming majority of 72% of American troops serving in Iraq think the U.S. should exit the country within the next year, and nearly one in four say the troops should leave immediately, a new Le Moyne College/Zogby International survey shows.

[And Zogby sent pollsters over to Iraq to interview the troops? Did they also make a Pitt Stop in Newton to interview the school girls?]

Did you see burned civilians? From the white phosphorus that was used? IIRC, some Italians did a documentary on this a few months ago and it was horrible.

[Another atrocity myth question...]

No. Not in Fallujah. I've never heard of WP being used too extensively, except to mark targets.

[...which gets shot down by the Marine.]

Why is your profile disabled? I don't know why but I'm a bit suspicious about all this.

[Because the Marine was too truthful, thus the Tombstoning.]

What are the troops feelings about President Bush?
Sorry to break up this lovefest. What are your feelings about Bush? Have you witnessed any atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers? Are there any atrocities being perpetrated by American soldiers?

[Atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers! Atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers! --- Sorry, the Marine can't respond to your diatribe due to being Tombstoned for being a truthteller in DUmmieland.]

Locking. This member is no longer able to respond to replies.

[Locking. This Marine is no longer able to respond to DUmmie diatribes due to being Tombstoned for telling the TRUTH.]
