Jason Leopold Steals Pied Piper Pitt's Fitzmas

A strange thing has happened over the course of the past year. Whenever I search the name of either Karl Rove or Patrick Fitzgerald in Google News, another name keeps popping up, JASON LEOPOLD, who appears as the reporter of some amazing (but wildly inaccurate) insider information on the CIA "Leak" case. Often Jason Leopold appears as the SOLE source of information which NO OTHER reporter has been able to unearth. So who is this intrepid reporter that is constantly on top of the CIA "Leak" case ("Leak" in quotations since it is NOT a crime to reveal the name of a non-covert CIA worker, thus no "Leak")? Well, according to HOWARD KURTZ of the Washington Post, Jason Leopold is a former cocaine addict who has admitted to lying, cheating and backstabbing. In addition, Leopold has served time for grand larceny, has attempted suicide, and has battled mental illness his whole life. WHEW! But wait, there's MORE! Leopold's credibility is so shot through with holes that the publisher, Rowland & Littlefield, cancelled his book, "Off the Record," just days before it was due to go to press. But wait...there's STILL MORE! Leopold was also fired by the Los Angeles Times for threatening to rip a reporter's head off. Leopold already shaky credibility suffered even more when Salon retracted its story authored by Jason Leopold about a Bush admininstration official saying that it couldn't (surprise, surprise) authenticate the piece.

So now that Jason Leopold has been thoroughly discredited, where can he turn to in order to get his fiction published? To Pied Piper Pitt's Truthout.Org site of course. For the past few months, Truthout has become the headquarters for Jason Leopold's Fitzmas fiction tales. The latest piece of Leopold fiction was proudly promoted by Pied Piper Pitt in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Jason Leopold: Target Letter Drives Rove Back to Grand Jury (full story)." In this exclusive Truthout "scoop," Jason Leopold proclaimed that "I confirmed with sources close to the investigation that Rove did in fact receive a target letter," and that "My sources maintain that Rove is a target and that Luskin understood that." Only one "little" problem here. Neither Karl Rove nor his lawyer, Luskin, received target letters as was revealed soon after this Pitt post. OOOPS! As a result, Leopold had to issue a lame RETRACTION in which he says the story still COULD be true because Luskin wouldn't return his phone call.

So let us now watch Pied Piper Pitt's credibility sink even lower on the Good Ship Leopold in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that Jason Leopold could be up for the Pulitzer according to current MSM standards, is in the [brackets]:

Target Letter Drives Rove Back to Grand Jury
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t Issue
Wednesday 26 April 2006

[Ooooh! Oooooh! Another Jason Leopold exclusive scoop hot off the pages of Truthout!]

Karl Rove's appearance before a grand jury in the CIA leak case Wednesday comes on the heels of a "target letter" sent to his attorney recently by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, signaling that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff may face imminent indictment, sources that are knowledgeable about the probe said Wednesday.

It's unclear when Fitzgerald sent the target letter to Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin. Sources close to the two-year-old leak investigation said when Rove's attorney received the letter Rove volunteered to appear before the grand jury for an unprecedented fifth time to explain why he did not previously disclose conversations he had with the media about covert CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who criticized the Bush administration's use of pre-war Iraq intelligence.

A federal grand jury target letter is sent to a person in a criminal investigation who is likely to be indicted. A "target" of a grand jury investigation is a person who a prosecutor has substantial evidence to link to a crime.

Last week, Rove was stripped of some of his policy duties in a White House shakeup orchestrated by incoming Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten. The White House insisted that Rove was not demoted, but insiders said the executive branch is bracing for a possible indictment against Rove.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042606I.shtml

[ON TARGET! Which is why he later issued a lame RETRACTION of his own story.]

If Jason Leopold were not credible, and his sources not backed up in triplicate, truthout.org would not run him.

[Hey Pitt! Did you even do the most basic of Google searches to check on the credibilty of Jason Leopold? It took me all of about 20 seconds to find out this guy is a FRAUD. And the only reason why you are seeing things in triplicate is due to spending too much time slurping down the refreshments at Bukowski's.]

It seems Mr. Leopold has gone from one writing job to the next. Getting the facts right is a real obstacle to his employment.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I am the lead writer and a senior editor for truthout and as such, am centrally involved in the process of examining these stories. What happened before with Jason is widely known, but has no bearing upon current matters. Jason's sources for these Plame stories are as solid as concrete, and he has backed up each story threefold. Again: we would not run his stuff if he was not credible, and we have been 100% hands-on in personally vetting each story and each source. Jason's work is above reproach on this matter.

[Pied Piper Pitt puffs up his chest in defense of Jason Leopold's credibility despite knowing that Leopold has posted fact challenged stories in the past. BTW, I would love to watch Pitt doing a "100% hands-on in personally vetting each story and each source." I heard he did a lot of hands-on personal "vetting" of "sources" at a certain Newton school.]

WaPo article today says this is incorrect. Does Jason have something more current?

[Just give Jason a minute to make something up that Pied Piper Pitt can personally 100% hands-on vet.]

You of course notice that no examples
are provided...just a drive-by smearing of a reporter's integrity.

[You need to send Rush Limbaugh a royalty payment whenever you use that "drive-by" term.]

A smear? Check the story citation for a look at Mr. Leopold's career that I provided in response to Will's comment. There are plenty of examples in the article. Integrity, he ain't got. Ever wonder why Leopold is not quoted in the top liberal blogs like Murray Waas and a few other online reporters are? No one takes him seriously. I mean no ill will to Jason personally, but don't give him credibility he doesn't deserve just because you want to believe what he writes

[Don't worry. Jason Leopold will always remain the Truthout star reporter.]

Jason is completely up-front about the troubles in his past. Hell, he even wrote a book about it. He isn't hiding the mistakes he has made, and speaking personally, I can say that he has moved mountains to do his job with passion and integrity. His work on this matter is above reproach.

[But did you 100% personally vet the fact that Jason Leopold's book was removed from publication due to lack of credibility, Pitt?]

I trust the integrity of Truthout, and considering his top notch reporting on Plame, I have no reason to be dubious.

[Enjoying the Kool Aid?]

I find the references to Jason's past to be unnecessary.

[YUP! Let's just overlook the fact that Jason Leopold has a long history of being less than credible and just believe fully in what he has to say now. So will you be sending in another $10 to Bev Harris?]

In this case, if you question Jason's integrity, aren't you also...questioning Will Pitt's integrity as lead writer and senior editor of Truthout? Isn't that what you're really saying? Don't you think Will fact-checks Jason's work before he allows it to be published on the Truthout website?

[I'll put it like this: Pied Piper Pitt is just as credible as Jason Leopold.]

Luskin just issued a statement... saying the prosecutor has informed his client that he is not a target of the investigation. The statement was read on CNN a few minutes ago.

[QUICK! Give me another hit of that Jason Leopold Kool Aid to give me strength in warding off the unpleasant facts!]

Jason is adding this denial to his story. Smells like bullshit to me. Luskin is under no obligation to tell the truth to the press.

[Sure, Pitt. Luskin is purposely going to lie to the press in order to piss off Patrick Fitzgerald. Do you want me to read you another Jason Leopold fairy tale?]

Tim Grieve's got an informative post up at Salon...

Update: Truthout is reporting that sources "knowledgeable about the probe" are saying that Fitzgerald has notified Luskin in a letter that his client is, in fact, a target of the investigation. At the federal courthouse in Washington, a spokesman for Rove just told Salon's Michael Scherer that the report is "utterly false."

[And Salon knows just what the credibility level of Jason Leopold is given the fact that they had to REMOVE an article from their site that was written by him.]

I guess the thing I'm having trouble with is the "target letter" story.

[Why? With Jason Leopold reporting, how could it possibly be wrong?]

CNN: Luskin says NO target letter came from Fitz

[Stop with the facts already!!!]

Looks like Jason may have been wrong

[GASP!!! How dare you post that when Pied Piper Pitt assured us that he personally 100% vetted this story hands on in triplicate.]

DUmmies Believe Al-Zarqawi Video FAKED By Evil Bush Regime

Although you might be shocked by the title of this DUFU edition, is it any real surprise that the DUmmies think that the Al-Zarqawi video was faked by the EVIL Bush Regime? They said the same thing about the Osama Bin Laden tape released just before the 2004 election. You see, in the world of the DUmmies and their Leftist cohorts, the Al-Qaeda terrorists are mostly just a fictitious invention to divert our attention from the real source of EVIL in the world---the Bush Family Evil Empire (their childish term, not mine). You can see the latest paranoid episode of this belief in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Al-Zarqawi: Holy Warriors Standing Firm (Video)." So let us now watch the latest DUmmie comedy show as the DUmmies proclaim in Bolshevik Red how Bush faked the Al-Zarqawi video while the comments of your humble correspondent, wondering if Bush used a slimmed down Ron Jeremy to portray Al-Zarqawi, is in the [brackets]:

Al-Zarqawi: Holy Warriors Standing Firm (Video)

[Produced by the BFEE Studio.]

CAIRO, Egypt - In a rare video posted on the Internet, al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi accused the West and the United States of waging a "crusader" war against Islam, but said Muslim holy warriors were standing firm.

The video showed al-Zarqawi wearing an ammunition vest over a black shirt, with what appeared to be a black headband. An automatic rifle was propped against the wall next to him.

In the past, al-Zarqawi has made statements only through audiotapes posted on the Web, although photos of him obtained by the U.S. government have been widely circulated.

The video came just two days after a highly publicized call to arms by al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden — on an audiotape played on Arab television — that encouraged Muslims to support his group in its war with the West.

[And now for the wacko DUmmie take on this...]

I saw the video a few minutes ago on CNN. IMO the person does not look at all like the last photo posted of him...

[This DUmmie posted a pic of a clean shaven Al-Zarqawi and uses THAT as EVIDENCE that it isn't the REAL Al-Zarqawi.]

They have found an actor! Congratulations. Yeah, the fat bin Laden was getting boring and the audio messages were not a great success.

[How perceptive. You are correct. The CIA used Ron (The Hedgehog) Jeremy to portray Al-Zarqawi in that video. Since we couldn't pull a fast one on you with the fake Osama video, we will have our actor slim down for the next time an Osama video is released.]

This actor was shown walking around on two legs.
Did he get a leg transplant in the field?

[Still waiting for your brain transplant?]

The Spooks who attempt to twist our minds and opinions ... Aren't even being either nuanced nor discreet anymore. You'd think that they installed a partisan hack in the CIA, or something equally deleterious to the USA peoples' secruity? However, they sure got that "terra terra - the sky is falling!" theme down pat.

[The CIA needs to be better nuanced to fool you guys. Okay, next time we will train Ron Jeremy to speak better Arabic.]

george has the cia movie company working overtime bin laden and al zarqawi in the same week or so.

[The BFEE Studios are operating 24/7.]

Robert Fisk says Zarqawi is a myth. Now quite apart from the fact that many Iraqis - along, I have to admit, with myself - have grave doubts about whether Zarqawi exists, and that al-Qai'da's Zarqawi, if he does exist, does not merit the title of "insurgency mastermind", the words that caught my eye were "US authorities say". And as I read through the report, I note how the Los Angeles Times sources this extraordinary tale. I thought American reporters no longer trusted the US administration, not after the mythical weapons of mass destruction and the equally mythical connections between Saddam and the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001. Of course, I was wrong.

[I am sure that many MSM reporters also believe that Al-Zarqawi is a myth too but won't say so publicly like the DUmmies are doing.]

This "Video Zarqawi" seems to have - what some may refer to as Black Irish blood within his genetic mix? The creamy tinge to his skin in this video - is in stark contrast to the images within the photographs sported in the past. IMO, this variance cannot be explained away on the basis of lighting differences. BTW the background set-up looks like it's complements of Mattel, Inc.

[Wasn't there also a bottle of Bushmill's in the video? That would clinch it as to the Zarqawi As Irishman theory.]

You would think that if "Zarqawi" was going to release a clip.. the background would look a little more ominous than a dorm room.

[Thus spaketh a DUmmie interior decorator.]

Bin Laden and Zarqawi in the same week... If these videos are legit, which I think they are, this could signal something very, very bad headed our way.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Look at the area between the orbs of the eyes and the eyebrow area? Look at the colored picture above and note the excessive skin coming close to "hooding" the eye? Now look at at the Video Guy - see it? This excessive skin is gone and his eyes appear wider and more visible. Gee I didn't know that whatever HMO that covers Terrorists R Us has a Plastic Surgery option to include a forehead lift?

[Look at the area between the your ears. It is empty.]

I was watching the video while on the treadmill at the gym. I was totally freaked out that anyone thought it was "HIM"! WTF? He is DEAD! This is a Hail Mary video from one of rummy's black ops teams for poor sinking bush.

[Note to rummy's black ops team: Please use more makeup on The Hedgehog for the next Al-Zarqawi video release.]

Why the skepticism about Al Zarqawi's role and existence?
Do people really believe it's all a CIA charade? I find that hard to swallow. That Al Qaeda would seek to take advantage of the invasion of Iraq seems perfectly reasonable. That it would be Zarqawi's boys blowing the shit out of Iraqi civilians, especially Shiites, also makes sense. If I were Al Qaeda, I would be doing everything I could to turn Iraq into a hellhole for the Americans (and Iraqis are just collateral damage in the jihad against the crusaders). That seems to be exactly what Zarqawi is doing. I think it's foolish to suggest that Islamic radicalism a la Al Qaeda is not at work in Iraq.

[Do I rate an invite to your Tombstoning Ceremony?]

The BEST answer to MINIMIZE the number of terrorist attacks is to raise-up the station of individual citizens in each country, i.e., lessen abject poverty and build hope for the masses. That's a non-starter with this ghoulish Neo-Conservative BushBotBorg Administration because it involves TRUE diplomacy. Heaven forbid! They only know how swagger and bully other countries all in the name of American Empire.

[Yeah, just give the Islamist extremists a big dose of a Great Society program and that will calm them down...NOT!]

Meet mr. Zarqawi. Somebody whose existance is highly questionable.

[The Man Who Never Was.]

Because it reads like the script from a bad Bond movie
with Zarqawi in the role of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Al Qaeda as SPECTRE. He has lost a leg, died and yet he keeps coming back for the sequel. If you actually read any of the Arab press you will find a good deal of skepticism about Zarqawi's real importance or whether he is still alive. It is in the US media that he constantly gets top billing . This is because the US government desperately needs a black hat to justify all the blood and the billions of dollars that it is pouring into the sands of the Middle East. Any accurate picture of the complexities of the situation in Iraq, including a list of all the possible characters involved in the armed opposition to the occupation, would be too much for an American population already growing weary of the conflict. It makes life so much easier for the US authorities and the media to pretend that everything bad happening in Iraq is being orchestrated by one evil genius.

[Since this is the Middle East, all the hot Bond Girls will be completely covered by ugly black burkhas.]

Zarqawi is soooo fake! Total myth. I bet 99% of the sheeple believe that he really exists. It's refreshing to see so many here at DU not buying the Bush and MSM lies!

[Those DUmmies are SOOOOOOOOO perceptive! You just CAN'T fool them. Oh, and how much did Bev Harris scam you for?]

Okay, I'll bite: Is there no Al Qaeda in Iraq?
If not, who is doing all those bombings? You know, the ones aimed at Iraqi civilians, especially Shiites, in hopes of stirring up civil war? I don't see how that could possibly serve US interests, except in the most twisted conspiracy theory.
Maybe Zarqawi ain't Zarqawi, but to deny the existence of these forces in Iraq is just silly.

[Denying reality is par for the course in DUmmieland my soon to be tombstoned DUmmie.]

Is it me? Or Does Zarqawi resemble Emmanuel Goldstein?

[It's you and everybody else in the Room 101 known as DUmmieland.]

Dan Rather went to the hometown in Jordan of the real Al Zarqawi (coincidentally not long before the Freeper generated attack on him) and interviewed people there who knew him. The person they knew was certainly not the one being presented to the world, as I recall.

[And Dan Rather had the fake but accurate documents to prove it.]

It's got to be some DOD covert ops hack job ...
This "Video Dude" version of Al Zarqawi, with his cherub cheeks, would seemingly fit better swilling beer in an Irish Pub than firing an automatic rifle in Iraq. Something is very amiss because he just don't look the part.

[Maybe Al-Zarqawi is a harmless Leperchaun.]

ooohhh. i get it. they are 'testing' their latest 'hugo: man of a thousand faces' kit to see if we'll fall for it and THEN they'll 'find' a bin laden video or two during the election campaign.

[I picked up a really kewl Halloween makeup kit at the Dollar Store. I'll try to see if I can make myself up to look like Al-Zarqawi. Maybe I can get hired by Rummy's Black Ops Team for the next video.]

"The Left establishment's attack on 9/11 skeptics"

The dirty little secret among liberals is that MOST of them believe that President Bush either knew about 9/11 in advance and Let It Happen On Purpose (LIHOP) or Made It Happen On Purpose (MIHOP). I say this is a dirty little secret because few of the establishment liberals will admit this in public even though this is what they actually believe. Try talking to a liberal in person and lead the conversation around to who was behind the 9/11 terror attacks. It won't be long before most liberals will proclaim that Bush could have prevented it but just let it happen on purpose OR that he was the real instigator of those attacks. That is what they say privately. Yes, it sounds KOOKY which is why establishment liberals in the MSM and in government keep a lid on such crackpot conspiracy theories. The far out lefties in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "The Left establishment's attack on 9/11 skeptics," confuse this reluctance to discuss 9/11 with an attack. Sorry DUmmies but most of those establishment liberals actually AGREE with you but they don't want the public to view them as kooks. Also when the regular leftists publicly discuss how Bush was behind 9/11 it embarrasses the establishment liberals and makes them fearful about how such nuttiness will affect them at the polls. I mean, you think Jim McDermott or John Conyers don't actually buy into the 9/11 conspiracy theories? Of course they do but they want to avoid the topic in public for fear of properly being branded as kooks. So let us now watch the DUmmies attack the Left "establishment" in Bolshevik Red for squirming at the mention of 9/11 conspiracy theories while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who is firmly in the IHOP camp of conspiracy theories, is in the [brackets]:

The Left establishment's attack on 9/11 skeptics

["Please don't embarrass us by spouting conspiracy theories that we really believe in but won't publicly admit."]

Soon after revelations concerning Bush administration prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks ("Memogate"), a number of well-known media "liberals" and "progressives" launched a heavy-handed series of broadsides against independent 9/11 researchers who had been developing alternative theories in response to the deeply flawed and fraudulent official story. Why would they do this, at precisely the point that the Bush administration was clearly sweating bullets and in deep trouble?

[Because even though the liberals really do secretly buy into your conspiracy theories they don't want you to embarrass them by publicizing such kook theories. They know they would also be tainted by the kook brush.]

This question is particularly important in light of the fact that the anti-conspiracy critics have not been able (nor apparently willing) to articulate their own theory of what happened on 9/11 (and why) which can explain the devastating evidence and contradictions that have been exposed by independent researchers. Instead of offering a credible explanation, the gatekeepers merely saw fit to pathologize 9/11 skeptics as "paranoid conspiracy nuts" and "a danger to our movement."

[Shhhhh! Please don't tell people the kooky 9/11 conspiracy theories that we privately believe in. We are therefore forced to write you off as "paranoid conspiracy nuts" in public.]

Not surprisingly, the rank and file didn't buy into the hype—nor were many convinced by the gatekeepers' offhand, passionless calls for an official investigation. Interest in alternative 9/11 reporting continued to grow, and by the time that members of 9/11 victim's families began publicly demanding an end to the government coverup and even mainstream media outlets such as the NY Times were admitting that the lack of an independent investigatory commission was "extraordinary," the Left media gatekeepers backed down and adopted a new tactic of silent stonewalling and tacit support for the official story.

[If we say what we really believe we will be written off as kooks. Therefore we have adopted the silent stonewall mode as we PRETEND to support the official story.]

"Silent stonewalling" and removal of any discussion from "polite" circles, thus many if not most remain uneducated? I'm beginning to think we really are a danger to "their movement".

[And you are CORRECT. You are a danger to the liberals who want to get back in power by saying out loud what they really think in private. They know that if they say what they REALLY think about who was behind 9/11 (BUSH, BUSH, BUSH) then the public will write them off as being as kookie as the DUmmies.]

What possible reason would they have to come out
that vehemently against 911 researchers, unless ...they aren't really democrats or they're DLC or gatekeepers, I've read that about David Corn. And Pacific radio really screwed Michael Ruppert over although his 911 show had the highest numbers on it , I think, ever, I'm not sure , but it had high numbers so that wasn't their motivation. Many "democratic" groups" have been taken over, it's scary.

[You still DON'T GET IT. David Corn and Pacific radio are all far left but they know that to publicly admit that they really think like you, that Bush was behind the 9/11 terror attacks, that they would lose all credibility. Therefore they have to distance themselves from you...in public.]

I think they are deathly afraid of questioning 9/11.
The media has to take the lead...and they seem disinclined to independently investigate. There don't want to look like McKinney. Without investigatory control of committee's, there is no chance to bring it before Congress. Asking questions from the outside would bring forth a torrent of ridicule by the Republican Press. Maybe that will change if we get a majority in Congress.

[BINGO! You nailed it: they don't want to look like McKinney even though they really do believe in your kooky 9/11 conspiracy theories. And the torrent of ridicule won't come from a fictitious Republican Press, it will come from the PUBLIC. And as you stated at the end, the Democrats will be free to let loose in public with their kooky 9/11 conspiracy theories and become a party of Maurice Hinchleys if they win in November.]

Frankly, I have little faith that even with Democratic control of the house that a genuine investigation of 9/11 will ever occur. I mean, it ought to happen. It is desperately needed. But are people really ready to expose the beast, the genuine criminality that weaves its way through so many of the wealthiest and most powerful people on Earth? Are people ready to stand up to these criminals and face them down once and for all? I want to be hopeful but it isn't easy.

[The Mark of the Beast will be exposed but only if the Democrats win in November so they are free to say out loud what their private kooky 9/11 conspiracy theories really are.]

I know, the media is owned by a handful of corporations who benefit from the arrangement they have with this evil administration. What I don't get is the democrats unwillingness to say anything. Is it just because they don't want to get " McKinneyed"? or are they protecting something. The same questions I asked when Kerry wouldn't come out about election fraud. Did he make a deal? Did he just not want to get further swiftboated? Or is that silly sounding Skull & Bones stuff true?

[It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Mama T, at her exclusive Georgetown private parties, spouts the SAME 9/11 conspiracy theories as the DUmmies but in public her Boy Toy knows he has to keep mum on the subject...for now.]

9/11 was an atrocity carried out by specific members of our government. They need to be brought to justice. Germany survived and so will we.

[Spoken like a true MIHOP DUmmie. But remember, the establishment liberals can't publicly admit they agree with you...for now.]

I don't know if things have ever been this bad, though
Germany was stopped, who's going to stop us? Sorry to be so negative, but that is what I think lately. I don't know how things have gotten so bad. Maybe they always were and other administrations had the ability to hide reality. The truth has got to come out about this and I just don't see how it is going to.

[Maybe the TRUTH already did come out (Al-Qaeda caused the 9/11 terror attacks) but you just didn't recognize it.]

I'm only just visiting this planet. I know when I first got here my first reaction was to scream bloody murder for all the PAIN that saturates the atmosphere of this otherwise quite stunning little planet. H20 is such an amazing element and in such abundance here. Don't you just love the way the white billowing clouds shimmer with glistening colors at certain times of the day? I just can't get over it. And the trees! I met someone online just a while back who confessed that he'd never hugged a tree. He is a Christian, or so he said, although I'm quite certain he's on our side. We were on team speak. He is back East and I am out West and there is probably 30 years or so between our ages. Knowing that I'm an "old hippie" and that I live here in California, he asked me if I was a tree huger and I had to admit, I am. He laughed, quite astounded, as if he'd never met one before, only heard about them as a sort of myth. I said, "What! You mean you've NEVER HUGGED A TREE!!??" And he admitted he had not. I was truly astounded; how can anyone with a beating heart and a breathing soul NOT want to hug a tree? He asked me, "Well, what is so great about hugging a tree?" Astounding, I tell you!! I had to say, "Well, it isn't simply hugging 'a tree', you understand, it is wrapping your arms around an axis mundae; it is embracing the local representative of a cosmic principal; it is to touch a great living being that is far more ancient than ourselves." I think he was somehow impressed by that.

[Enjoying your Acid Trip? Now back to reality...]

I have been in this dilema for sometime since the veil came off. Maybe it was more personal to me-because I once lived in NYC and worked at the WTC and well, damn it, (high drama I know) it could have been me. It's not remote. It's my own government. And what do I do about it? It's not denial, it's fear. I admit my fear. It's a good place to start. Afterall, fear and propaganda initially got me to support the Iraq war. Which is what lead me to 9/11. Every good lawyer tells you that "if they lie about one thing, feel free to assume they could be lying about anything." And with every day and every revelation this is a stone cold fact.

[MI-HOP over to the Rubber Room.]

I've only been to NY once in my life but I don't think it makes any difference. Look what happened -- is happening -- to New Orleans and the Gulf coast. The death and destruction could spread. Global war is a very real possibility and if the 'terrorists' we are creating right and left can't get it together to attack us to keep the American citizenry fighting for their very lives, then I'm sure there are covert operatives owned by more local interests that would be happy to move things along. None of us are safe so long as criminals are in charge of our national security apparatus. All of our lives are in danger. Most people think I'm being a bit histrionic, and understandably so. Still, when you let people get away with mass murder and you let them get away with stealing hundreds of billions of dollars and you let them get away with covering up arguably the biggest crime of this new century (so far), then why should they stop there?

[Thank you, Chicken Little, for that "Sky Is Falling" rant.]

Since when is the 9/11 forum strictly a 'conspiracy' forum anyway? I don't recall it being that way when it first started. It ought to be a forum for 9/11 news reporting, stories of the victims, and so forth - in short, it ought to be a forum for -anything- relating to 9/11. I am wondering why it isn't. I am researching a number of things, among them 9/11 and its links to crime networks in the U.S., and I am not finding much here that is helpful in that regard. I do think the original mission of this forum has been misinterpreted.

[Even Skinner won't allow the 9/11 forum posts to appear on the DUmmie GREATEST page. He wants to keep such kooky conspiracy theories a dirty little secret in DUmmieland even though the VAST MAJORITY of DUmmies are already firmly in the MIHOP camp.]

This forum doesn't even show up on the Latest page
anymore when anyone posts a thread.

[Skinner's primary purpose is to get Democrats elected and publicizing these kookie conspiracy theories harms that goal (even though he personally believes in such wacko theories).]

You can fool some of the people...
but, you can't fool them all. And, the soma does wear off over time.

[The DUmmie who posted the Tree Hugging reply obviously had a soma OD.]

"Thoughts on John Kerry"

The FUnniest thing about John Kerry's attempts in the last few days to put himself front and center in the news as a prelude to his Presidential rerun in 2008 is that he simultaneously SUNK his own campaign with words that will come back to haunt him. I am referring to his defense of CIA traitor (and Kerry campaign contributor), Mary McCarthy. HERE is what Kerry said about traitor McCarthy: “So I’m glad she told the truth but she’s going to obviously suffer the consequences of breaking the law.” Of course, Kerry will say we didn't understand his "nuances" when he is attacked for being "glad" over the release of classified information. It will do him NO GOOD. Kerry has cooked his own goose. The most FUn part of the 2008 primary will be watching his complete mental meltdown when he is ground under by the Hillary (or Gore) campaign. It will be volcanic eruption of ANGER of such proportions that not even Dr. Buddy Rydell can help him.

Meanwhile, in his typical fit of BAD TIMING, Pied Piper Pitt has suddenly performed a flurry of activity on behalf of Mama T's Boy Toy. In just the past couple of days, Pied Piper Pitt Posted Plentiful Presidential Promotional Postings Pertaining (forgive the alliterations) to Kerry. In his typical name dropping demeanor, Pitt posted this THREAD self-promotingly titled, "I asked Kerry today about running in '08." But wait, there MORE! < /ron popeil> Pitt ALSO posted ANOTHER Kerry THREAD the following day with the equally self-promotional title of "my Kerry speech analysis + interview." But all that Kerry shilling STILL wasn't enough for Pitt. He had to jump up and down waving his Kerry Flag with a THIRD Kerry THREAD simply titled, "Senator John Kerry." Hey, Pitt, why not just post a thread titled, "John Kerry: HIRE MEEEEEE!!!"

Despite Pied Piper Pitt's amusing cheerleading for Kerry, many of his fellow DUmmies remain skeptical about Kerry's chances as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Thoughts on John Kerry," posted by a DUmmie whose thoughts on Kerry would not be pleasing to Shill Pitt. So let us now read in Bolshevik Red what the DUmmies think about the Senator who recently became so energetic on behalf of himself while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if Pitt can get a job as Kerry's press secretary so he can secretly feed information to the Hillary campaign, is in the [brackets]:

Thoughts on John Kerry

[I had a thought on John Kerry before I didn't have a thought on John Kerry.]

I worked 14 to 20 hour days for 7 months as a field coordinator in a very competetive state, in three highly Republican counties, to get this man elected president of the United States of America. At the time I believed in the cause 110%.

[John Kerry has your back.]

On Election Night 2004, I was on a call with the rest of the GOTV (get out the vote) staff in the state I was in. My name was read as a list of people who were to go to their local county courthouse to observe the vote counting process and be ready for any kind of "trouble." A few days before, I had been told to have a bag with several days' clothes and supplies ready to go. When I got this call to go to the courthouse, I grabbed my bag and headed towards the door.

[Were you told to pack a pack of condoms and a Form 180?]

I stopped, turned around, and handed my keys to a trusted volunteer. I said to him, "I'm going to the courthouse, and who knows where after that. I don't know when I'll be back here."

[After the court house you'll be going to....DISNEY WORLD!!!]

I sat at the courthouse as huge boxes of certified ballots arrived and the RoveBots glared at me. I was in a state that Kerry won by 11,000 votes. I personally exceeded my vote goals by 5,000 votes (although so did the Bush organizer because of huge turnout). I took off a semester from school to get this man elected, did everything I could. I helped win an extremely close state.

[Hmmm.... Could this be New Hampshire? Well, it did you NO GOOD since the Diebold Machines gave the victory to Bush in Ohio.]

At this point.... would I suspend my life and do it all again for John Kerry? No. He has done nothing since the polls closed and I sat alone at a courthouse that indicates to me he was worthy of nearly half of the popular votes cast in this vast land. He was worth it at the time, but now I truly believe we have much better candidates.

[WAAAAAH! He doesn't WUV John Kerry anymore. So who do you believe in now? From the pic on your post it looks like nerdy Russ Feingold has your true love.]

Senator Kerry, it's time to step aside. That is, unless you can get a multitude of Democrats elected this fall, introduce some legislation to get me health care, help my friends get better student loans, and save our environment from the Bush administration, along with all the other world's problems (like Iraq).

[...and windsurf while standing on one leg.]

He would have been, and COULD still be a great president - but what has he done for us lately?

[Pied Piper Pitt is wondering when Kerry is going to do something for HIM like hire Pitt as his press secretary or speech writer.]

it is the Rovian technique...
to divide and add one to his side...divide and add one to his side...etc... But the thing is this division stuff over 08 now only hurts democrats in 06!!!

[Hee! Hee! How do you know that the author of this thread isn't Karl Rove himself?]

Whoops. You cited your work on election night, your sacrifice. The element of KERRY BETRAYED MY PURE HEART runs through your post like bile.

[That sounds like it could be the title and theme of a Paul Anka type 50s teen tune: "KERRY BETRAYED MY PURE HEART."]

My basis for "dismissing" him is related to disappointment in the way he handled the 2004 election, the Ohio results, the vote on the war, the vote on the USA PATRIOT Act.

[None of which will hurt Kerry as much as his statement that he was glad Mary McCarthy betrayed the CIA.]

I love Feingold but there is no way he will get the nomination being an unmarried candidate.

[Perhaps he can get that condition rectified. I understand that Barney Frank is in the marriage market.]

Kerry has contributed a lot to this country. But it's too soon for him to run again. I just don't see it happening.

[He needs to wait until 2028.]

considering the piss poor election georgie ran the lies he told, he should have lost in a landslide. plus whenm clearly the night of the election there was shit afloat and kerry conceeded after OHIO, i want kerry to shut the f*ck up, or bring theft charges.

[Kerry has your back.]

As one who sits and waits for the required 5 days to go by before Sen. Kerry voices a stance on issues...I hear you.

[Kerry has your back...after he thinks about it for 5 days.]

Edwards was pushing for recounts. It has nothing to do with that really...but getting the feeling of being steamrolled for all of our efforts. It's sitting and waiting and "picking battles" that never happen that gets my gut. It was, and always will be a colossal waste of my time...time I should have spent with my children it appears in hindsight.

[I guarantee that this DUmmie will forsake his family again in 2008 to waste his time on a campaign upon which he will have NO EFFECT.]

I say he's being a good soldier for the cause. As for his strategy, tactics, and style...if this past 15 years is a slow recapitulation of the Civil War, he's the Sherman figure in it. Sherman as respected but unloved, ignored, or given obloquy by Northerners except his own army and Ulysses Grant. Sherman was first coldly despised by common Southern soldiers, then vociferously hated and slandered, then helplessly obloquied but passionately excoriated, and ultimately (in North Carolina) the letters speak of Southern demoralization and certainty of ruin just by his showing up with his men.

[Kerry is more like the General Joe Hooker of your cause.]

"Jane Fonda's message to DU about how to stop the war"

[UPDATE: Thanx to Capitalist Infidel, I have been able to locate the Jane Fonda VIDEO of her sitting at an anti-aircraft battery in Hanoi. Go to this CBS PAGE and scroll down to "RELATED VIDEO" on the right side of the screen and then click on "Jane Fonda: 'A Betrayal'." Best viewed in Full Screen mode. This video of her in Hanoi is interspersed with video and audio of Hanoi Jane trying to explain herself. However, you can see in the anti-aircraft battery footage that Jane Fonda was OVERJOYED at the experience.]

Jane Fonda has said that she will be leaving the protests against the U.S. presence in Iraq to Cindy Sheehan. However, the DUmmies are definitely looking to their heroine, Hanoi Jane, for advice as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Jane Fonda's message to DU about how to stop the war." Perhaps the DUmmies would like to pose on camera next to an IED just like Jane Fonda did by gleefully sitting at an anti-aircraft battery in Hanoi and playfully pretending to shoot down American aircraft. (Note: I searched the Web but was unable to find the video Jane Fonda at the Hanoi anti-aircraft battery. If anybody out there can find the video, please send me the link and I will update this DUFU edition with the link.) So let us now watch the DUmmies turn with awe for advice from Hanoi Jane in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who notes that Jane has been on a downslope ever since "Barbarella," is in the [brackets]:

Jane Fonda's message to DU about how to stop the war:

[Pay attention to Hanoi Jane, DUmmies.]

1. Massive - that is, MASSIVE - demonstrations in the streets - especially in D.C.

[Like the one last September that was completely forgotten on the very day it occurred even though Pied Piper Pitt organized it. (Disclaimer: Pied Piper Pitt never EVER had any contact whatsoever with the A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades even though his PDA organization worked closely with A.N.S.W.E.R. to organize that demonstration. Pitt was able to prevent all contact with A.N.S.W.E.R. by having himself hermetically sealed in a giant body condom so as to prevent infection from the deadly Communist A.N.S.W.E.R. microbes.)]

2. Write LETTERS to your congresspersons and senators - look, people, e-mails are easy to delete. Imagine you're a congresswoman in 1974 and you get several large bagsfull of letters every day dumped in your office. If you live in 1974, you're one of those congresswomen who begged Jane Fonda to call off her "troops" because you "got the message" and you're going to change your vote.

[DUAC! DUAC! This probably won't work since it would require too much effort on the part of the DUmmies. Placing a letter in an envelope, addressing it, and adding a stamp is way too much WORK for them.]

That's what Jane Fonda said yesterday on Air America.

[Jane had more listeners on Radio Hanoi.]

She also said that the current Bushista line is nothing more than the old Reagan line: that Vietnam was lost because of a bunch of lefty congressmen and a bunch of leftie demonstrators, and that Jane Fonda is a traitor.

They're all a pack of lies.

[Definitely NOT the traitor part.]

Except that those of us who filled the streets, especially in Washington D.C. brought the Vietnam war to an end because we also wrote LETTERS and convinced our Congressmen to quit financing the war. It can be done again, but NOT by deletable e-mails. Or just phone calls. Send traditional LETTERS and bury their offices with bags of letters.

[You really do have a hangup about sending PAPER letters. Like I stated earlier, it won't work since it requires too much WORK on the part of the DUmmies. And now let us hear more (non-paper) love letters from the DUmmies to Jane Fonda.]

I like it, fill the streets.

[Which reminds me. Weren't there already at least TWO DUmmie proposals to FILL THE STREETS of D.C. with DUmmies in April and take over the government? Can this count as the THIRD such proposal that FIZZLED out?]

We did it in the sixties. We did it every chance we got. We stood vigils in the night, in the rain, in the snow. We marched. We sang. We had teach-ins, where people who knew what was going on instructed those who wanted to learn. We marched and sang and never never never backed down. We never shut up. We changed the world. Now, it's time for the younger generation to do it. We're backing them up, but it's their fight now. We did it for them, made them safe, and now they've got to do it for their next generation.

Never stop.

Never yield.

NEVER NEVER NEVER shut up.

[You NEVER NEVER NEVER shut up about how WUUUUUNDERFUL the sixties were.]

We also impeached Nixon. With humongous demonstrations in the streets of Washington, D.C. the days after the "Saturday Night Massacre" and forced Congress to begin the impeachment investigation.

[Another DUmmie in need of a history lesson. Nixon was never impeached. He resigned. However, Slick Willie WAS impeached.]

F*ckface is just F*ckface - a murderous, delusional, megalomaniacal monster - and needs to be introduced to the finer points of how the Khmer Rouge operated during what is known over there as the "American War" - summary execution.

[That pretty much sounds like a death threat. Please turn yourself in to the nearest Secret Service office, DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer. I repeat...OldLeftieLawyer.]

Efficient. Gotta love them KR.

[Oh, and when you turn yourself in to the nearest Secret Service office, please include that "charming" postscript, DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer. I repeat... OldLeftieLawyer.]

DELUGE YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN WITH LETTERS, NOT E-MAILS.

[WASTE PAPER AND CAUSE MORE TREES TO BE CHOPPED DOWN.]

I've been screeching for the past few years that keyboards and comfortable chairs are not where the revolution takes place. Emails are rubbish, and worthless - just like those online "petitions" that are nonsense and wastes of time. Bodies in the streets, people's voices lifted up in unending screams for justice, right, liberty, law. Noise. Commotion. Disruption. Energy. NOT sitting at a keyboard. NOT comfortable in your home, office, cubicle, whatever. OUT THERE. Refusing to be quiet. Refusing to go quietly. Refusing to shut up. Refuse, refuse, refuse, and NEVER YIELD. Letters. They're just emails cut and pasted, printed on good paper, with an enveope and a real signature (that matters A LOT), and one lousy stamp. They pile up. Emails don't.

[So lectures DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer not realizing the self-irony of posting this message in cyberspace. BTW, have you turned yourself in yet to the Secret Service for your death threat, DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer? I repeat... OldLeftieLawyer.]

1. Massive Demonstrations

2. Write Letters (SNAIL MAIL - NOT E-MAIL)

[Apparently the new DUmmie mantra is that snail mail will turn the tide for them. The DUmmies are just $10 worth of stamps away from bringing about their Bolshevik Revolution.]

BODIES IN THE STREETS! That's it. People are lazy and are getting what they're deserving because they can't understand that they've got to get OFF THEIR ASSES and out into the streets. It's that primitive, and it's that POWERFUL. Good to be back, Seabiscuit. Life's been batting this OldLeftie around, but she's back now, more pissed off than ever. BODIES IN THE STREETS, SIGNATURES ON THE LETTERS, ADDRESSES ON THE TOP, and A STAMP THAT GETS IT THERE, INTO A STAFFER'S HOT LITTLE HAND.

[You'll have plenty of time to send out those snail mails after your incarceration, DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer. Have you turned yourself in to the Secret Service yet, OldLeftieLawyer? I repeat... OldLeftieLawyer.]

Ms Fonda is correct about having mass protests, but gee -- haven't there already been MASSIVE protests all over the country? She might not be aware of them because none of the networks carry them -- they are played down or are ignored. C-Span is the only place you might see such a protest. The networks didn't even carry the protest march in New York -- as massive as it was -- during the Nazi rally whoops I meant the RNC convention.

[The reason why the MSM ignores your protests is because it is almost impossible to avoid the nutjobs which would make the Left look bad. However, I do appreciate C-SPAN coverage of such events since that allows us to see just what kind of nutcases show up at these A.N.S.W.E.R. sponsored demonstrations. (Of course Pied Piper Pitt never EVER had any contact with the communist A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades.)]

The demonstrations haven't been anything nearly like what they were in the sixties. The big one that took place in DC back last year was marred by people with too many loopy agendae and bad, bad poetry. It lacked focus, and it made NO NOISE.

[You can blame the organizer of that event, Pied Piper Pitt (who never had ANY contact with the A.N.S.W.E.R. comrades) for that disaster.]

I'm talking raging, raving madmen and madwomen out there in the streets, never surrendering, never shutting up, not just marching nicely and sauntering along. I'm talking about MAYHEM! That's all that's going to get anyone's attention. Mayhem. Disorder. Disruption. NEVER YIELDING.

[NEVER SHOWING SANITY.]

Can I have a hug?

[The previous DUmmie post by OldLeftieLawyer must have activated her G-spot.]

We shut it down with the sheer weight of numbers of bodies in the streets, on the sidewalks, around the entrances/exits, approaches, etc., and the sheer weight of people on cell phones and computers e-mailing and phoning to jam their servers and their phone lines. We SHUT IT DOWN.

[Yawn. Been there. Done that. DUmmie benburch proposed exactly the SAME THING weeks ago. Result: nothing.]

More stolen from "Steal This Book"... KNIFE FIGHTING... MOLOTOV COCKTAIL... STERNO BOMB... AEROSOL BOMB... PIPE BOMBS... GENERAL BOMB STRATEGY...

[These were ONLY the title excerpts posted by DUmmie Gman in REPLY #60. You can read the full details of his terrorist planning directly on this DUmmie thread. Oh, and DUmmie Gman. No need to turn yourself in to the Secret Service like DUmmie OldLeftieLawyer. Instead you need to turn yourself in to either the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security. I repeat... DUmmie Gman.]

Gotta bookmark this thread. You have provided much valuable information, and on behalf of activists of DU, there is much gratitude owed to you for taking the trouble to distribute information from one of the most effective agents of antiwar protest.

[A terrorist acolyte has bookmarked this thread for the bomb making details so thoughtfully provide by DUmmie Gman. I repeat... DUmmie Gman.]

It's okay to be furious with Bush these days. Hell -- Chuck Hagel might join the parade!

[Chuck Hagel gets a DUmmie endorsement. That's sure to help him win the Republican Presidential nomination... NOT!]

WRITE LETTERS. Say what's in your mind and in your heart. Sign your name. Place your address and the date at the top of the letter. Use a stamp. Mail the letter. Use nice paper and envelopes. MAKE PEOPLE HANDLE YOUR MAIL!!!! It's all about HANDS-ON!!!!!!!!!!! It's the USPS equivalent of BODIES IN THE STREETS, SCREAMING, DEMANDING, NEVER BACKING DOWN.

[Once the DUmmies have picked up on the hard copy snail mail mantra they just never let up. Snail Mail has become their Holy Grail for Bolshevik Revolution.]

YES! THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF JANE FONDA'S MESSAGE!
Plus, of course, more bodies in the streets - MANY MORE, YES, MUCHO, MAS, MANY BODIES IN THE STREETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Are you sure you weren't getting that message from Fonda's exercise video? Maybe you need more bodies in the streets performing aerobics.]

BODIES IN THE STREETS IN HUGE NUMBERS and LETTERS BY THE TON, HARD COPIES WITH OUR NAMES SIGNED ... it seems the only way to really get their attention in D.C. where the only game in town for politicians is to pad their own cushy, mean little lives with ever more money and power and to stay in their jobs as long as we'll let them. THEY NEED A WAKE UP CALL THEY CANNOT IGNORE!

[Yeah, yeah. We get it. The new BODIES IN THE STREETS and HARD COPY SNAIL MAIL shtick which will be about as successful as all the other DUmmie failures.]

THREE WORDS: DEMONSTRATE + SNAIL MAIL!!!

[TWO WORDS: BWA + HAHA!!!]

Im sorry, but Im not gonna hitch my star to Jane Fonda. Frikken fruitcake.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

She has passed the torch to Cindy Sheehan and others.

[Jane Fonda has passed the torch to Cindy Sheehan to act as the new Frikken fruitcake.]

Look, she came out some time ago about that picture of her poised on an anti-aircraft battery, pointing out that she was suddenly ushered onto it withhout explanation and bingo, pictures were taken, and spread around. It was not her intent to pretend that she was shooting down American planes, as the "Hanoi Jane" photo opportunists have pretended all these years. It was just a mistake that she was inadvertantly sucked into.

[I've seen the video of Jane Fonda sitting at the anti-aircraft battery. She was OVERJOYED with happiness as she GLEEFULLY pretended to shoot down American planes. If someone out there can send me a video link of that episode, I will update it to this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies for all to see...and judge for themselves if Hanoi Jane was an unwilling dupe or not.]

the most impactful written communications to Congress are . . . hand-written letters . . . individually typed and signed letters are next . . .

[Since all else has failed, the DUmmies now plan to mail in their Revolution.]

DUmmies Launch Hate Attack On Michelle Malkin

According to the DUmmies, Michelle Malkin committed a Hate Crime of the highest magnitude. And what was this HORRIFIC Hate Crime? Malkin posted on her BLOG the phone contact information that the protestors of military recruiting at the UC SANTA CRUZ themselves posted on their press release. Yes, Michelle Malkin's Hate Crime consisted of copying and pasting information publicly posted for the purposes of publicity and the DUmmies have responded with this THREAD titled, "Michelle Malkin posts phone #'s of lib college students." As part of the retaliation against Malkin, the DUmmies POSTED NON-PUBLIC information about Malkin such as her home address, a Yahoo Map of that address, and even a satellite map photo of her home which is highlighted like a target. Again, remember this is all for the "high crime" of posting phone contact information which was already part of a public press release. Of course, the Moonbat HATE of Michelle Malkin goes far beyond the fact that she copied and pasted public information from a Leftwing Press Release. Michelle has also incurred the wrath of the Moonbats because she has been constantly exposing their Moonbattery not only on her BLOG but also in her book, UNHINGED: EXPOSING LIBERALS GONE WILD, and with her INCREDIBLE Video reports on the Leftwing Loonies such as her interviews with Cindy Sheehan and on the illegal alien demonstrations which covers ground where the MSM dares not tread. So let us now look at the DUmmie Hate Attack upon Miohelle Malkin in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, holding a bile bucket to contain the highly acidic level of HATE from that site, is in the [brackets]:

Michelle Malkin posts phone #'s of lib college students

[It's called COPY & PASTE. Those phone #s were PUBLICLY posted as part of a Press Release. That is info that the students themselves WANTED the public to see.]

Posting phone numbers is a time-honored method of political activism. But, there are rules, albeit unwritten. First off, I would never post the personal phone number of anyone (unless they posted mine first). And if I did so inadvertently, and the person notified me of that fact, I would take the number down - especially after people were getting death threats.

[There's an "unwritten rule" that phone numbers provided in a PUBLIC press release can't be reposted? First time I've ever heard of that "unwritten rule."]

All I need is her information. If some one can PM me with it fair is fair in my book.

[Moral equivalency in the DUmmie book is equating publicly posted information for the purposes of PUBLICITY with PRIVATE information.]

Wow, she doesn't live far from me! Maybe I should stand in front of her house with a big sign saying "A Terrorist Lives Here".

[How about if you hold a sign that says "Institutionalize Me."]

How about "Racist bigoted Philipino lives here"

[Thus posted a Racist bigoted DUmmie.]

She's Filipino. Her husband is American.
Both have shit for brains and the conscience of a maggot.

[According to racist bigoted DUmmies, if you have Filipino ancestry you can never be an American even if you are a U.S. citizen and were born here.]

She IS a terrorist! She deliberatly tried to terrorize those students!

[By copying and pasting phone numbers that were PUBLICLY posted as part of a press release for purposes of PUBLICITY.]

Perhaps we can have a special "death penalty" hearing for such an evil spirit.

[Perhaps we can have a death threat pre-trial hearing for a certain DUmmie.]

Dang, she lives less than a mile from my friends.... I may have to drive by the Homestead of Hate just to give it the appropriate salute the next time I'm down there.

[And then we take your salute hand in for fingerprinting.]

And though I will not post it here anyone, could, say, look that address up on zillow.com and see exactly where our little hatemonger lives....

[So the mentally deranged DUmmies like the one above can do their drivebys?]

Michelle Malkin's number has been disconnected!

[I forgot to mention that the DUmmie cretins also posted her PRIVATE (ie not part of a press release) phone number.]

malkin is a piece of shit.... where is she...you hold her down while i piss on her face!!!

[I debated with myself whether or not to include this sicko DUmmie post in this edition of the DUFUs. I finally decided to include it just to show folks out there how SICK the DUmmies are.]

HAHAHAHA!!! I saved her information for posterity!! Michelle Malkin is a f*cking (bleep)!!

[The map that was posted in DUmmieland no longer shows up because of too much bandwidth transfer but this creep was still able to get that information. BTW, the map also included a highlighted satellite photo.]

Somone posted pictures of her house

[Yes, that was the satellite photo. And it also highlighted (targetted) her home. I bet that made your day, DUmmie.]

The number has been disconnected......... no further information available. Yet. Some super-sleuth will come up with her cell number, won't THAT be a hoot!

[I wonder if anyone in the Mainstream Media stands up for Michelle Malkin in this harrassment. Meanwhile I'm not holding my breath.]

She is piece of shite. Olbermann had her as worst person.
Someone should publish her phone number!!!!!

[Olbermann is sure to treat this harrassment of her as a big joke. I already have rated him as the worst person. His whole shtick consists of nothing but attacking O'Reilly on an almost daily basis in the pathetic hope that he can get more than a small fraction of his ratings.]

Her number is at the link in post number 9. HAVE FUN STORMIN' THE CASTLE!

[YUP, that sure sounds like a threat, DUmmie Buddyblazon.]

WHOA! Last night...someone here posted MM's name, address, phone number--AND lots of complete aerial views of her house and subdivision--right up to her front door! Furthermore, I did some research and found out that she posted a disclaimer on her website stating that reg. info goes up on the board, TO WRITE HER IN ADVANCE IF YOU DID NOT WANT YOUR INFO ON THE BOARD, and that those protestors' personal info was available--and still is--at several other sites. Whatever, else you may think of her, this is not OUR finest moment--and we should show our good ethics by being honest about it.

[FINALLY, a voice of REASON in DUmmieland. It must be a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Earlier today pics of her house were on Tboggs. But alas, the link no longer works....the pic was huge. With arrows, street names, maps...

[It's called TARGETING. Also HARRASSMENT.]

F*ck that bullshit... we are not turning the other cheek any more. She got what she deserved PERIOD. Somebody has to fight these media morons, if you're not up to it that is fine.

[Somebody should have spanked both this DUmmie's cheeks long ago.]

SHE put up a disclaimer--those posters whose names that were published had every opportunity to avoid having them published. Michelle Malkin DID NOT have that same opportunity. This is nothing but immoral vindictiveness.

[The Voice of Reason again which means he will soon be Tombstoned from DUmmieland.]

She deserves it. Sorry. That's what the freaking right wing counts on - our sense of decency and fair play.

[That's something we NEVER count on from the Loony Leftists.]

There is no sympathy to be had for her. Do you know she singled out ME, ME!! under this user ID on DU in one of her assinine columns!!!??? I HATE her.

[LOL! So Michelle identified YOU YOU by your DUmmie name of Mr_Spock. Like we can really figure out who your really are from that screen name. Did she also post a map to your home or an aerial photo of it?]

Gentleman's rules went out the window in November of 1992, when Republicans climbed up on the high horse wit their shrill "how dare they steal our presidency!" cries, and have not let up since. It is time to punch back. Hard.

[That's news to me. The only crybabies I can remember screeching about a presidency being stolen were the Leftwingers in 2000 and then a repeat performance in 2004.]

FOR YOU FREEPERS, WE DID NOT INSTIGATE THIS... SOME OTHER SITE DID, THEY ARE SO QUICK TO BLAME .....

[FOR YOU DUMMIES. YOU DID INSTIGATE THIS... THE MAP AND AERIAL PHOTO WERE POSTED IN PLAIN VIEW IN DUMMIELAND UNTIL IT COULDN'T SHOW UP DUE TO EXCESS BANDWIDTH TRANSFER. I AM BLAMING YOU.]

I hate her guts and she is an awful person and deserves all the hate she gets in return.

[Another DUmmie drowning in the acidic bile of his own HATE.]

I hope they nail her evil satan worshipping followers these cretins are deranged morons and need to be locked up

[Thus spaketh DUmmie Mr_Spock from the Rubber Room.]

Is XXXX XXXX XXXXX Lane in XXXXXXXX, MD zoned for livestock? Because there's a f*cking pig living there.

[I was the one who edited out the address that the DUmmie posted as part of the general DUmmie Harrassment.]

It's time to take the gloves off with these bastards.
We should not only post her address and phone number but her husbands name, place of work his bosses name all their phone numbers and E-mail addresses including cell phone numbers, license plate numbers and car descriptions, their immediate family's names and phone numbers, schools they attend and any other personal information as well should all be fair game. Any other right wing hate monger that uses the same tactics should get the same treatment. Please don't preach to me about not being like them. Bullshit! Fight fire with fire! It's the only way to stop this crap.

[Thus concludes this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. Can you just feel the "Love" emanating from the DUmmies? It comes coated in the acidic bile of HATE.]

"Al Gore will have to scorch some earth to win in 2008"

I guess the DUmmies haven't been clued in yet to the Rovian Directive that Hillary WILL be their nominee in 2008. Her shrill voice and completely artificial Talking Points attitude makes her the PERFECT Democrat nominee for the Republicans to run against in 2008 since she is sure to turn off the vast majority of voters. Instead, the DUmmies are still holding out their hopes for Prince Albert as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Simply put--Al Gore will have to scorch some earth to win in 2008." Now it is not that I have anything against Al Gore. In fact I have fond memories of Gore from when I worked for him as a minimum wage typist for his AL GORE AT THE MOVIES REVIEWS despite the fact that he never gave me free tickets to the flicks that he reviewed. However, Al Gore has already strongly indicated that he WON'T be running in 2008 so the Rovian Political Machine has already been set in motion to ensure the nomination of Hillary and cannot be reversed. Of course, both candidates would be sure to provide LOADS of comedic entertainment in the next Presidential Primary Season. One of the highlights of that season would be the inevitable mental meltdown of Mama T's Boy Toy when he realizes that he WON'T be nominated. The Anger generated from that defeat will cause him to seek Anger Management counseling from Dr. Buddy Rydell. The bottom line in all this is that we are GUARANTEED a great comedy show during the next presidential election no matter who wins the Democrat nomination (although I think the WILL of Rove can't be circumvented). So let us now watch the ugly DUmmie Frogs yearning for their Prince Albert to kiss them and make them whole again in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that perhaps Karenna might get a respite from acting as the wife of a boring doctor soon, is in the [brackets]:

Simply put--Al Gore will have to scorch some earth to win in 2008.

[The hot air constantly blasting out of Al's mouth should do the trick.]

I know some will say that he should have done that in 2000---even though he did get more than 500,000 more votes than W. But this time he needs to napalm the Republican party. I mean eviscerate them and make their party radioactive for years to come. I think he can and I think he will.

[Blast them! Revile them! Smear them! Crucify them!]

Go Gore! He's got my vote, my immediate family's, and all of my friends votes too.

[Sanity-Challenged For Gore!]

i want to see gore kick some ass -- and this isn't just about winning. i want GORE to kick the ass that needs kicking. he's the heavyweight. the prodigal son. the returning champion.

[This isn't just about Gore winning. This is about destroying every last Republican on the planet.]

he has and will continue to scorch some earth

[Scorch the earth and destroy every last vestige of sanity on this planet!]

The post-election Gore is the one we were waiting on for so long in 2000. Now that he's no longer tied to Lieberfreak, he can speak his mind.

[Gore could have won if only Lieberman hadn't put a check on his insanity.]

Is he running? I thought only one guy announced his bid...

[That was another Mental Case.]

He'll have to come clean about his immoral concession to Bush v. Gore. . . Until he admits his failure to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America by unequivocally rejecting the Bush v. Gore edict, he won't have my support in the primary -- and I know I am not alone in this. The same goes for John Kerry and every member of the 107th or 109th Congress who failed to stand up and object to the illegitimate Florida (107th) or Ohio (109th) electors on January 6th. They are sworn to support and defend our constitutional democracy. We expect members of our armed services to risk life and limb to fulfill their oath. We can expect no less from members of Congress (and if they failed to act for fear of being called "sore losers" they exhibited the epitome of cowardice).

[They must ALL apologize for not staging a coup d'etat.]

Gore took it all the way to the Supreme Court, with his own f*cking running mate turning on him. He did all he could and in the end decided to concede because he didn't want the battle to tear the country apart. In retrospect perhaps he should have been willing to tear it apart, given what Bush has done, but how was he supposed to know about 9/11, the Iraq war, and so forth? I agree that Democrats have often been squeemish at best when it comes to standing up against the Bush Administration, but Al Gore does not belong in that camp.

[Gore would have become President according to DUmmie Lore if only Lieberman had not betrayed him.]

Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

[At least Gore was well paid for making that up.]

I don't think he can win the nomination if Hillary is in the race.

[Hillary shall be your nominee. So Rove has written. So shall Rove's Will be done.]

When you read or hear his most recent speeches, your intuition tells you that he is THE one. Hook him up with any one of several outstanding Democrats and you have a ticket, not only that would win, but, would be capable of leading America out of this nightmare we are now in.

[Al Gore as Neo. He is THE One who will free us from the Republican Mind Control of the Matrix.]

You don't mean scorch some earth. That's what you do while you're retreating, to hamper the advancing enemy. You mean he'll have to go nookyular.

[I think he already did since Gore's mind is in a perpetual Meltdown Mode.]

The Dean movement shows what is possible if politicians throw out thier Poli sci books and pick up a book on Psycology. The majority of this population want a politician that speaks the aweful truth and inspires hope that it can be fixed.

[YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!]

Al Gore is against scorching the Earth, he is too busy trying to save it. However he will kick ass, become our next and greatest President. We will eventually have the problem of finding room on Mt. Rushmore for his face.

[Al Gore's face has grown so large from eating the pasta that it would take up the entire mountain.]

"Radiopower.org destroyed by a lightning strike!!!!"

First Bev Harris, then the AndyScam, and now DUmmie benburch is just $10 away from having Internet Radio as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Radiopower.org destroyed by a lightning strike!!!!" According to benburch, a lightening bolt destroyed the entire computer system servicing his Leftwing radio "empire." Thus benburch now has his hand out to the DUmmies to the tune of $5000 and the results are HILARIOUS. Because they have already been scammed before, the DUmmies have grown wary of such pleadings for money. The lightening strike story does sound mighty fishy. OTOH, maybe God is a vicious rightwinger who decided to put an end to benburch's loony left radio "network." I have noticed lately that there are a LOT of strange doings in the Leftist radio world. Err America Phoenix resurrects itself temporarily with a pixel bake sale. Then Blowhard Ed Schultz ATTACKS that station for not following his business pattern of scamming money by shaking down the Democrat Party directly for el dinero. And now we have benburch coming up with a lightening strike story to scam 5000 bucks. (For a REAL radio story, check out John Gibson's radio show at 8:30 PM EDT today when he interviews Leftwing Looney Blogger, Maryscott O'Connor whom you can see pictured above.) So now let us watch DUmmie stick his hand out in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, informing benburch that he is just $10 away from becoming sane, is in the [brackets]:

Radiopower.org destroyed by a lightning strike!!!!

[Perhaps SOMEBODY up there is telling you something.]

I just received the following note from Shelby. Please pass this on to any radiopower listeners you may know!

[Please pass along benburch's inevitable plea for $$$.]

My building was struck by lightning during a storm that suddenly rolled in around 10 pm last night. It was a pretty freaky experience. I could actually hear and feel the pulsing of electricity. It wiped out computers, servers, 10 drives, archive files, mixer consols, and started a small electrical fire. I'm in
the process of determining what's lost and what can be saved. I've managed to take apart a server and 3 fried desktop computers and use the parts to get the RadioPower main server back online. The station will limp along like this
for the next few weeks (or as long as it can) but without emergency fundraiser of $5000 minimum that won't last very long.

Direct all donors to www.RadioPower.org/donations

I'm still in a state of shock and trying to get my bearings. If you need to contact me please use this address until further notice.

Thanks for your patience,

Shelby LaPre
RadioPower.org

[Shelby LaPre? Any relation to Don Lapre? Yeah, with a family name like that, I'm sure going to be comfortable handing money over to you.]

Oh my goodness. I'm one of those radiopower users. How horrible... I wish I could raise the whole bit myself and hand off a giant check... but I will kick this message so that others can see it.

[Oh my goodness. I wish I could be suckered out of my money but since I'm broke I will kick this message so that others can be scammed.]

Unbelievable! Does this crap ever end? The Royal Checkbook grows increasingly thin...

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

BTW, folks, this was in spite of UPS systems!
Shelby is no fool. But no UPS or surge protector can save you from a direct hit.

[How about if you merely UNPLUG your power from the wall? If you know of or hear a lightening storm approaching that is SOP.]

No, but proper lightning rods on his building would have
I know a lot of people don't think about it, but almost any building can be hit by lightning, even small buildings surrounded by larger ones.

[Simplest solution is to UNPLUG the power. All this DUmmie did was UNPLUG his brain from rational thought.]

I've worked testing building entry protectors for phone lines and etc, and there is a limit to how much energy you can carry to ground with a Cook Electric type gas tube or with any semiconductor SCR or MOV. Those things can protect you from NEARBY lightning strikes, but never from a direct hit. The fact that this caused a fire in her residence tells me that the building was struck, or the power pole right outside the building was struck. As I know she lives in an older building, likely the copper ground rod is no longer very good. Perhaps enough to look grounded to a ground testing device, but not enough to carry off significant energy. All-in-all it is a tragic thing that happened to her, and I hope people will help her get on her feet. She has been doing streaming Liberal radio for even longer than I have.

[Shelby lives in an older building with lousy wiring and she is TOO STUPID to merely UNPLUG the power? It's not like you don't have advance warning of a lightning storm since you can hear it in the distance. As a result, your mighty liberal internet radio empire has been fried by a lightening bolt (making the mighty HUGE assumption that you aren't lying about all this).]

Strange, if this had happened to a Republican broadcaster, she (sorry for the gender error) would have been FLOODED with compensatory funds in order to keep that message going out. Liberals are constantly on a shoestring budget, depending on volunteer efforts, grassroots support and the occasional large doantion (Where the hell is George Soros when you need him?) That's the difference between liberal and conservative media machines. One is funded and the other barely survives.

[Yes. Karl Rove and Richard Mellon Scaife would have shown up the next morning with bags of cash to buy an entirely new computer system that was destroyed because the broadcaster was too stupid to UNPLUG the power when the lightning storm was approaching.]

We do "Bake Sale Radio" here on the left. But you know, the people who help us do it are all saints. We don't need Richard Mellon-Scaife, we have y'all.

[Richard Mellon Scaife wouldn't buy your suspicous lightning bolt fairy tale.]

Seems you should find out for sure before you ask for donations. Don't mean to seem callous, but does seem like the proper course of events. I for one would be quite put out if I found I was double funding a recovery effort.

[Find out for sure if Shelby LaPre is really playing the horses. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if she lost a bundle on a horse named Lightning Bolt and now needs $5000 to pay off her bookie.]

Just checked, and nope. No insurance. But then she would never have sent me that note asking for help if there had been any.

[Just checked, and nope. No brains.]

Shelby asked me to clarify; It's not destroyed: Just very f*cked up!

[Shelby asked me to clarify; It's not destroyed. Just a messed up extension cord so we will definitely be needing $5000 to replace it.]

If you have renter insurance or homeowners you can have your equipment replaced. Sorry for your loss.

[Sorry for your stupidity.]

Not my loss. Shelby's loss. And an uninsured loss, sadly.
Basically, if you like radiopower, she needs your help. Without that, I doubt she will be able to keep it going much longer.

[The loss of the mighty Liberal streaming internet radio. The end of an era that nobody remembered in the first place.]

I'm listenig to them right now. Myabe they fixed it.

[The extension cord has been replaced already?]

No... She's cobbled together enough half-working stuff to get a signal out. But it's unlikely she can keep that up for long given the state of what she has left.

[Let's see. A lightening bolt supposedly fried your streaming radio equipment yet somehow technological genius Shelby managed to cobble it together in record speed? Is that your story or just rotten fish that I am now smelling?]

Well, I got billion joules from that lightning strike.
Fried everything.

[DUmmie benburch would be satisfied with just a few jewels worth $5000.]

DUmmies Plan To Imprison Republicans If Democrats Win In November

I hereby nominate David Finkel for a Pulitzer Prize in photography. The photo that he took above PERFECTLY captures the LUNACY of the Left. In this particular case, the crazed face in the photo belongs to one Maryscott O'Connor who writes a Leftwing Moonbat Blog called MY LEFT WING which is one long primal scream of ANGER at Bush and the EVIL Republicans. According to this Washington Post ARTICLE, when O'Connor isn't posting about how she wishes Bush would go to hell "after contracting incurable cancer and suffering for protracted periods of time without benefit of medication," she "relaxes" by listening to the Howard Beale speech on her iPod while simultaneously frightening her 6-year old son with her CRAZED behavior by screeching the Beale spiel along with the recording.

Now I know that there are some out there who think that Moonbat Maryscott O'Crazed is some exception to the rule among the Left. The sad fact is that this RABID foaming at the mouth ANGER has become TYPICAL of the Left. To illustrate my point, let us look at this DUmmie THREAD titled, "When we take back Congress, we need a new Sedition Act," in which the cohorts of Maryscott O'Crazed express their desire to imprison Republicans if the Democrats win in November. And before we analyze this DUmmie thread, I have a word of advice for Maryscott O'Crazed. DON'T SEEK HELP!!! You read that right. DON'T SEEK HELP!!! You see, I NEED for DUmmies like Maryscott O'Crazed to remain mentally unbalanced because it is their sanity challenged postings that supply the DUmmie FUnnies with its rich comedy material. Without the aid of the completely irrational folks out there, DUmmie FUnnies would cease to exist. So it is with fondness in my heart that I chuckle over the latest insanity from the Left presented to you in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hoping that Maryscott O'Crazed remains OFF her meds, is in the [brackets]:

When we take back Congress, we need a new Sedition Act.

[YEAH! Make it illegal to be a Republican or a conservative!]

There are so many things that not only the Village Idiot has done, but most of his minions, including, but not limited to, the Vice-Village Idiot, Scott McClellan, Rumsfeld, Rice, most of the appointees at the Defense Dept. that could and SHOULD fall into the category of sedition. Not only taking us to war under false pretenses, but the large conspiracy involved in pulling it off, and continuing with the sheer propaganda that they are putting out to mislead and manipulate the American public. Acts of treason that shouldn't go unpunished like over 2300 counts of murder due to their lies and deceit....or the breaking of legitimate treaties....or ignoring the Constitution and the 4th Amendment specifically. The theft of at LEAST ONE election, if not two.

[Make that THREE. How could you forget the complete DUmmie Meltdown in 2002 when the Republicans GAINED seats in the Senate and Congress? Of course, this was explained by the "fact" that the election was stolen via the Diebold machines. Anyway, continue with your Republican punishment fantasy...]

The complete culture of corruption that they have spawned thru their lack of conscience and/or concern for the welfare of anyone but themselves and the people who bought the primaries AND the elections for them. We all know them, and we all feel that Bush should be impeached as soon as we take power back. But others should be tried and convicted for sedition, treason, crimes-against-humanity, murder, conspiracy, and maybe even enacting a coup! Just a thought, but thats just me.

[Is that you, Maryscott O'Crazed? And now on to the other DUmmies demanding justice by imprisoning conservatives.]

Send every god damned last one of them. Either to the Hague or Gitmo! They've committed treason. They've committed murder. The charges are innumerable.

[But wouldn't Gitmo be too good for the EVIL Republicans? After all, the prisoners there are fed rice pilaf with orange glazed chicken. Of course, that is countered by the air conditioning torture where the room temperatures are cruelly set at 68 degrees.]

At any rate, we need to give these f**kers not one day of peace... after their term is over. We need to chase them to the ends of the earth until justice is brought to them. If they're not watching their backs, we're not doing our job.

[Set the hound dogs on the Conservatives for committing HEINOUS Thought Crimes!]

We'll need a truth and reconciliation committee.
We've been lied to, spun, and bamboozled so consistantly for so many years, we've lost track of the truth. We'll need basic social agreement on what is truth and what is false. If Republicans ever want to be taken seriously again, they will need to look at the evidence and reach common ground with us on what is true and what are lies.

[If Republicans ever want to be taken seriously again, they will need to prostrate themselves before us and confess their guilt to being Conservative.]

Crimes against humanity, murder, conspiracy, well, I think that a good case can definitely be made for bringing up these guys on those charges. I also think charges of election fraud, and conspiracy to commit election fraud can be explored. But not sedition. They are The Powers That Be. How can, by definition, The Powers That Be...be guilty of sedition? They can't. Lying, on the other hand...well, do not confuse LYING with SEDITION....they are not synonymous words.

[WHEW! It's good to know that we won't be brought up on Sedition charges. Crimes against humanity, murder, and conspiracy, YES, but NOT sedition. Hey, at least that's a PLUS!]

Except that since the coup - which occurred in 2000...REPLACED THE EXISTING ESTABLISHED ORDER OF THAT TIME - with the own ESTABLISHED ORDER. That old established order no longer has the power to enforce punishment or anything. It no longer IS the established order, see? Isn't that the entire point of a coup? To replace the existing established order?

[I'm tired of all this technical legal wrangling....I say LET'S HANG 'EM HIGH!!!]

I just think that whatever we need to do to hold them accountable for their actions, needs to be done.

[I think you just activated Maryscott O'Crazed's G-spot.]

What we need first is an amendment to the Constitution limiting the power of the President to issue pardons.

[You would have put a crimp on Bill Clinton's favorite activity as he left office.]

I hate to say this, but I do not think that the vast majority of this criminal gang that has run our country into the ground will ever face justice. And this saddens and angers me. Because I want them to PAY...and pay dearly...for the harm they have caused our country, and my countrymen/women.

[Perhaps you should console yourself by screeching along with the Howard Beale "MAD AS HELL" spiel on an iPod while simultaneously frightening an innocent 6-year old kid with your looniness.]

Many members of the Bush regime can be charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. This includes Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, three of the four current top cabinet officers and a number of their aides. The invasion of Iraq was a war crime on its face. It was an unnecessary war of aggression without cause or provocation and without proper authorization from the UN Security Council. The reasons given for the war were false. When Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Libby and General Powell said they had proof that Saddam had biochemical weapons, a "reconstituted" nuclear program or intimate ties to international terrorism, they were lying. What intelligence they had was inconclusive at best. We know from the memoranda leaked from the British government that members of the regime, including Mr. Bush, were aware that the case against Saddam was "weak", yet they continued to present the case in public and before Congress as being certain. They were manipulating the intelligence behind the scenes. Mr. Cheney and Mr. Libby made frequent trips to Langley to pressure intelligence analysts to say what they wanted to hear. In the Pentagon, the Office of Special Plans under Douglas Feith cherry picked intelligence reports that were favorable to the case for war and edited the ambiguity out of others. Intelligence reports refuting the case for war were suppressed. Those who lied or manipulated intelligence should be prosecuted.

In addition, many international treaties have been disregarded. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits an occupying country to rewrite the laws of occupied territory, yet Paul Bremer decreed changes in Iraq's laws on foreign investment. That is a war crime. Persons detained suspected of being terrorists have been held incommunicado and denied prisoner of war status, even initially. That is a violation of the Third Geneva Convention, and a war crime. Some of those held in the custody of the United States have been threatened with a judicial proceeding that may result in a death sentence, yet the rules of such proceedings are such as to deny the accused due process of law. This is a violation of the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions and a war crime. Many who are held in custody of the United States have been subjected to torture or cruel or humiliating treatments and punishments. This is a violation of the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. It is a crime against humanity and a violation of federal law. This use of torture was justified beforehand in legal papers prepared for Mr. Bush by then-White House Council and now-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales with the assistance of others, including John Yoo, now a professor of law at the Hastings Law School, University of California at San Francisco, and Jay Bybee, now a federal judge. The legal reasoning, based on the argument that the President is above the law, is so spurious as not to be serious. It is a crime against humanity.

Those named in the above paragraphs and others should be charged under the appropriate federal statutes and sent to prison for the rest of their natural lives. If the federal government is unwilling or unable to make a good faith effort in prosecuting members of the Bush regime for war crimes and crimes against humanity, then an international tribunal should be established for this purpose.

[That latter thought will make Maryscott O'Crazed belch up her Near Beer all over her Bib in happiness.]

I propose that when we were sent to a war by lies and propaganda....that this action could be construed as levying war upon the American people, and thus since the government is of the people....that would be treasonous. And adhering to their enemies....when we were attacked by Saudi's, and not only did they receive protection from the U.S. government, but that the family of Osama bin Laden was allowed to leave the country by air while everyone else was grounded....this would fall under THAT category.

[And you would fall under the category of Ready for the Rubber Room.]

We need Nuremburg Trials for those criminals
The lot of them should be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Once they are convicted, they should be jailed for life. (Though "rendering" the whole lot of scummy traitors to a torture-friendly country like Syria would be perfect justice.) I pray nightly that all of bushco will be shipped off to The Hague, where the Chimp himself can take up residence in Milosovic's old cell. I'm sure that the responsible governments of the world will have no problem meting out justice to these animals.

[Keep whispering that into Maryscott O'Crazed's ear and you are sure to get her diaper wet.]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-15-06 (DUmmies Attack Blowhard Ed Schultz)

Take a good look at those beady eyes set deep in the folds of that porcine face. They belong to a man who claims to have the highest radio ratings of any liberal radio program in the country. And yet this man is a FRAUD. He is no liberal or conservative or anything else except an opportunistic con artist who claims that his conversion on his road to Liberal Damascus happened when he bit into a baloney sandwich at a Salvation Army cafeteria. Emphasis on BALONEY. The plain truth is that Ed Schultz was going nowhere as a "conservative" talk show host. So when he heard that Tom Daschle & Friends were in need of a liberal voice on the radio which they would support with cash, Schultz was persuaded by the Benjamins to suddenly become a "liberal." Unfortunately for Schultz, although his ratings are higher than those of authentic liberal looney, Al Franken, that still isn't saying much. Add to that the fact that his home radio station, KFGO, just DUMPED Blowhard Ed from their programming. As a result, Blowhard Ed, is desperately in search for a new home station which brings us to the theme of this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Want to *hear* why I really cannot stand Ed Schultz?. It turns out that the author of this thread is none other than DUmmie benburch, purveyor of kinky classified sex ads but oddly enough he does have a point of sorts as you can hear in this amazing AUDIO CLIP of an ENRAGED Blowhard Ed Schultz dripping with arrogance as he attacks the host of a Phoenix Air America Show (subject of a March 7, 2006 DUFU EDITION) for holding a "bake sale" to keep Err America broadcasting in Phoenix. So why all the vehemence on the part of Blowhard Ed? Despite all the phony blustering on his radio show, Ed never really gets passionate about anything outside of hunting or sports. The reason is simple. The Err America folks bought up a radio station in Phoenix that Blowhard Ed hoped to purchase (with OTHER people's money, of course) to use as his own home base. The result is that Blowhard Ed had the carpet pulled from under him in Phoenix and is still STUCK in Fargo with nowhere to go at the present time. So let us now HEAR (on the AUDIO CLIP) Blowhard Ed Schultz slam a REAL Leftist as the DUmmies respond by attacking Fast Eddie in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the proceedings as he munches on a baloney sandwich, is in the [brackets]:

Want to *hear* why I really cannot stand Ed Schultz?

[Because he wouldn't reply to your kinky classified sex ad, DUmmie benburch?]

Please K&R this. Everybody should hear this! This is Ed Schultz melting down on Mike Necomb's show this morning;

http://www.mikenewcomb.net/audio/edcallsin.mp3

Everybody needs to hear this. EVERYBODY. He is insulting YOU, the listeners in this screed.

[Actually, Blowhard Ed isn't insulting me. Just the REAL Leftist Loonies like YOU. Anyway, thanx for the heads up on this Blowhard Ed Audio clip. For this favor, you get one FREE kinky classified sex ad.]

Here is the clip he is reacting to;

http://www.mikenewcomb.net/audio/EDDIE.mp3

And he is disrespecting the Drobnys and Ed Newcomb too! Don't give this man any more attention. He is a total FAKE.

[I never thought I would ever say this but in this case, I actually AGREE with DUmmie benburch. Blowhard Ed Schultz IS a fake. Isn't it ironic, however, that the person with the highest ratings (still much lower than a lot of conservative talk radio shows) of Liberal talk radio is not even a REAL Liberal but just a person IMPERSONATING a LIberal strictly for the $$$$$$$.]

I need a shower. I have never liked him either but this seals it. He is totally right wing--the speaking style, the interrupting, the name calling--all fit him well.

{Sorry, just because Blowhard Ed isn't a Leftwing Looney like you doesn't make him "right wing." The fact is that politics is BESIDES the point to frauds like Blowhard Ed. He just goes wherever the money beckons.]

It sounded to me like very sour grapes on his part since he wasn't able to buy the radio station.

[Actually that particular outrage on the part of Blowhard Ed wasn't fake like the rest of his shtick is. Blowhard Ed was genuinely PISSED OFF that he wasn't able to get himself a home station in Phoenix. When it comes to scamming money, Blowhard Ed is sincere.]

. I heard that this morning and it pissed me off. I guess he would be happier if Air America Phoenix was owned by Halliburton or GE?

[All Blowhard Ed cares about is that station must belong to him. Right now he is DESPERATE to leave Fargo but has NO WHERE to go.]

Are you sure he is not a sell out?

[Blowhard Ed NEVER sells out...except to the highest bidder.]

It isn't us he sold out. He sold out the Conservatives to take our money.

[He didn't sell out the conservatives since he was never really one in the first place. Political viewpoints to people like Blowhard Ed are completely beside the point. For guys like him, EVERYTHING begins and ends with money.]

Didn't he accept a large sum of money from some dem organization?

[Correct. Blowhard Ed accepted Big Bucks from DEMOCRACY RADIO in 2003 with the understanding that he would promote the RAT Party line. It was the money being offered that caused Blowhard Ed to undergo his "conversion" to liberalism.]

Randi Rhodes has talked about it on the air
And she hates Schultz so I'm sure she'll be happy to provide anything she has.

[Randi Rhodes is an AUTHENTIC Leftwing Looney who hates PHONY Leftwinger, Blowhard Ed, because he is in it STRICTLY for the money. And speaking of Randi, I feel a sort of proprietary interest in her since I was the one to bring Randi national PUBLICITY when she was still unknown outside of South Florida.]

I seem to recall... that Randi blamed Ed for not helping enough to get Daschle re-elected. I personally get a funny tinge about Ed, my preference is with Randi...I feel she's more sincere.

[Maybe Blowhard Ed can get Daschle elected President. It's no joke. Although Daschle lost his seat in the Senate, he now want's to re-enter politics as a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Randi is totally sincere. Of that I have zero doubt.

[I have no doubt that Randi is sincerely nuts.]

Schultz called Randi a slut while he was on the air.

[He was just being complimentary.]

Wow. The guy is an asshole. "You're pimping the public"

[Yeah, that AUDIO CLIP was GREAT for laughs. Rarely has somebody come off as such an arrogant shmuck as Blowhard Ed did.]

I'd always liked Schultz, but he is an arrogant prick in my opinion now

[I disagree. In my opinion, Blowhad Ed is an arrogant shmuck but isn't this almost the same thing?]

He lost his spot in the country's #4 market.
That's huge. And he's upset that a group jumped him beforehand.

[Anything that costs Blowhard Ed money pissed him off bigtime. That outrage he isn't faking.]

Randi, Mike, Nancy Skinner, Thom Hartmann and I were in D.C. at a meeting and Schultz walked in. Randi just bristled at the sight of him. This is before he was syndicated. She told me the whole story of how he was in bed with Tom Daschle so Daschle could use Ed to win his seat in North Dakota. Well, it didn't work for Daschle but Schultz sure came out smelling like a rose. He is about as Liberal as Orrin Hatch. He sold out for the money.

[Blowhard Ed does have one guiding principle: He ONLY sells out for money.]

Wasn't Schultz recruited by the likes of Daschle and Hillary??
I seem to recall reading an article from a mainstream sourced about a party/meeting where they all schmoozed and the deal was struck. It may even have been at Hillary's house. I know she was definitely involved.

[The fundraiser took place at Mary Landrieu's home. That's where the cash was raised to enable Blowhard Ed's Baloney conversion to Liberalism.]

What I see are liberal/progressives coming together to win back our country thru whatever means possible. And selling pixels is selling a 'product or service'. It was ingenious. And it brought people together for a very important cause.

[Selling pixels might get you back on the air but it won't KEEP you there. Outside of wealthy liberals handing you mercy money, you need REAL advertising to keep you on the air. And Err America will need more than Pixel Dust to accomplish that (although scammed $$$ from Boys and Girls Clubs do help).]

Shultz is a blowhard.

[A DUmmie opens his eyes and sees the light.]

His ego is becoming as immense and out of control as Limbaugh's. Ironically, he sounds tremendously like Limbaugh, as well.

[That's another bit of Blowhard Ed fakery. He also tries to pound his desk like Limbaugh. The main thing is that his ratings are only a very TINY fraction of Limbaugh's.]

Why would Shultz be so offended by the grassroots efforts in Phoenix, which DID get AAR back on the air?

[Because it kept Blowhard Ed from acquiring that very station as his flagship station. And when it comes to $$$, Blowhard Ed is dead serious.]

He's nothing but one long boring blowhard of a commercial! He was a f*ing repuke most of his life and only switched sides recently (in the scheme of things) because there was a bigger market in liberal radio. He's a damn fake. No one is saying to "think like me....blah,blah,blah" I appreciate the OP posting this to expose a little more info about a man who could give a shit less about progressive talk radio in terms of actually getting the word out about this corrupt regime. Big Ed is all about the paycheck.....THATS ALL!

[For Blowhard Ed, it's ALL about the Benjamins.]

This is about a blowhard whore for profit, who's heart isn't in liberalism at all. Mouthing the words, but not believing them is what got us into this mess in the first place.It's about a man who's pissed off that he couldn't get Randi Rhodes kicked off AAR and himself put in her place (as she has said on a few shows). It's about sour grapes that his deal didn't go through, and this Phoenix station was bought out from under him.

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

Ed is such a damn asshole! I never liked this jerk! The last time I listened to his show was when a caller called in to report that she and her husband were driving from Ca. to Crawford when Cindy was there and that they were closing up there little mom and pop restaurant to make the trip. The caller was very excited and really wanted to talk about what was going on in Crawford and that damn bastard "Big Eddy" kept derailing the conversation and basically wanted to turn the call into a fu*king commercial for this couples restaurant. The caller kept trying to stay on point and he kept bringing back to the damn restaurant menu. UGHHHH! The caller seemed pretty disgusted by the whole thing by the end of the conversation. I could never stomach to listen to that asshole again!

[Did you ever consider that Blowhard Ed's mind is mainly on food. It interests him a hell of a lot more than politics.]

Ed Schultz is a blow hard with no soul.

[Blowhard Ed has the soul of a money hungry shark.]

Well this sure as f*k doesn't help my suspected opinion of Schultz... And after listening to the clip...schultz is in it only for the money...

[Blowhard Ed is only in it for the money? Tell me something that I don't already know.]

An opportunist sensing a sea-change. He's another whore who could turn on you in a minute if he thought it would butter his bread. That being said, he's probably useful in the short run; there are a lot of people out there who voted for bush and now are looking for a "strong" voice to run to.

[LOL! You denounce Blowhard Ed in one breath for being an opportunistic whore and in the next breath you claim that that very same opportunistic whore could be a useful tool to fool the listeners.]

Think if AAR was gone after tonight, at midnight, never on the airwaves, or XM or Internet again...Gone forever...There's many right-wingers who would be ecstatic!

[Let me know when that is about to happen so I can prepare to pop the cork on my champagne bottle.]

Best 2 words to describe Big Ed Fake Laugh.
You just can't be that sincere with a fake laugh like that guy has.
Sounds like a bad imitation of Barney Rubble.

[I get a kick out of Blowhard Ed's fake laugh. It sort of goes with his fake bluster.]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-13-06 (*BENBURCH NEEDS TO PM ME RIGHT NOW*---Pitt)

Since benburch has the reputaion of being a flat out wacko, even among his fellow DUmmies, it caught my attention when I saw this THREAD posted by William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt with the following headline message: *BENBURCH NEEDS TO PM ME RIGHT NOW*. Of course, I had to click on the link to find out what was so important that Pied Piper Pitt needed to hear from benburch right away. Was it some sort of kinky sex act for which benburch has a reputation for engaging in? No. It turned out to be sensationalism of another nature. Pitt is DESPERATE to become part of Michael Moore's "documentary" about health care (wonder if Hillary will be interviewed for this?) and wants to contact benburch to get their stories right when presenting the case of Andy Stephenson to Moore. And, of course, Pitt is in DESPERATE need of presenting a cleansed account of the Andy Stephenson situation because he wants to place the doubts prevelant a year ago about the veracity of Stephenson squarely on the shoulders of the EVIL Freepers. See, in the Pied Piper Pitt fairy tale version, he heroically stood up to the Freepers which conveniently leaves out his own ATTACK upon Andy's veracity as you can see in the title of that thread, I'm pretty upset right now, and I need an explanation. And not only was Pitt troubled by the facts of the Andy Stephenson case. Head DUmmie Skinner himself expressed his dubiousness about all this in this THREAD titled, "About the Andy Stephenson situation." The end result was that Skinner finally banned outside fundraising in DUmmieland (prior to the Stephenson fundraiser, the DUmmies were scammed bigtime by Bev Harris). So now we have Pied Piper Pitt attempting to rewrite history with the help of DUmmie benburch. Sorry, Pitt. We have YOU on Record as to what you said at the time and there is NO denying it. And as to Andy's situation, he was supposedly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer as early as February of last year but chose to delay an operation until May because he wanted it done at Johns Hopkins rather than right away in his home state of Washington where the medical care was available to him there. I don't know if Moore will end up inserting some sort of fiction that Andy was denied healthcare because of EVIL rightwingers but the CONTRARY facts are right here on the Web. So let us now watch Pied Piper Pitt try to capitalize on Andy's death in Bolshevik Red while the comentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everyone out there unfamiliar with benburch to check up on his many DUmmieland postings to get an idea of what kind of lunatic asylum he is coming from, is in the [brackets]:

*BENBURCH NEEDS TO PM ME RIGHT NOW*

[We need to sanitize our stories before presenting them to Jabba the Shmuck.]

I just talked to a producer for Michael Moore's new health care documentary about Andy Stephenson. They are strongly considering putting his story - specifically the fact that he needed friends to fundraise for him - into the documentary. Ben, write me. Now.

[Ben, if you haven't yet been incarcerated, write me now. Hopefully you haven't been hanging around any schoolyards. Please, benburch, I wanna be in the movies. I wanna BEEEEEEEEE somebody!!!]

I hope they do his story ...fingers crossed.. That would be a great way to memorialize him..

[I can guarantee that this Pied Piper Pitt QUOTE will never make it into Jabba the Shmuck's documentary: "Why was I personally told this was pancreatic cancer? Why was I allowed to repeat this now-inaccurate diagnosis many times without anyone correcting me?"]

Will They Mention how the freeps conspired against him?

[Will they mention how Skinner AND Pied Piper Pitt "conspired" against him. Here is a Skinner QUOTE which is something LESS than a ringing endorsement: "I have my own opinion about whether this is legit or a hoax, but it is only that: an opinion. I do not know the truth."]

That story is so crazy and awful, and is also a little to the side of the main point of the documentary, which is the high cost of health care. They may include it to show how easy it is for someone's healet care to get messed with.

[I'm sure if Jabba the Shmuck includes the Stepehenson case in his "documentary" he will make Andy out to have been deprived of health care. The TRUE facts are that Stephenson could have gotten treatment from the get go in his home state of Washington but CHOSE to delay to get surgery at John's Hopkin's. Subsequently Andy passed away from a staph infection.]

Paging BENBURCH...

[Have you checked the bordertown massage parlors?]

Oh my god, what a wonderful tribute to Andy if his story was featured in a Michael Moore film.

[And you can be sure that Pied Piper Pitt is straining to get his mug before the cameras to capitalize on Andy's death.]

Isn't he the webmaster at The White Rose Society?

[Yes. When he isn't hanging out at the S&M parlors.]

Does anyone remember exactly how much $$$ was raised for Andy? I can't remember now but I know it was a lot.

[How much $$$ was scammed in DUmmieland by Bev Harris for her 5-star hotel suites?]

So I asked termite if he would go on-camera to talk about it...since he is the one who was there with Andy. Termite declined.

[Hmmmmmmmm...]

Mainstream exposure of what the freeps did to Andy. Lies have to be hidden, but the truth can run around in the sunshine. Well the light of truth will shine on this story and expose the freeps for what they truly are

[How about mainstream exposure of what Pitt did to.....? And back to the topic at hand, here is another Pied Piper Pitt QUOTE: "But the 400 people who will come into this thread with "Andy doesn't need this stress" can hold your water. Andy is apparently a hell of a lot less ill than I and others were led to believe, and I need some answers."]

Andy's story was a classic example of how difficult it is for uninsured cancer patients to access quality health care. Its a disease where a delay of a week or more in getting treatment can mean the difference between life or death, its tragic. Cancer care is truly becoming an area where those who can't afford to pay get delayed or inferior care.

[Andy's story is an example of how someone DID have access in his home state to health care. Instead he chose delay in order to go to John's Hopkins after a lot of DUmmieland fundraising which raised the SUSPICIONS of even Skinner who subsequently banned such fundraising.]

The way you worded it could be interpreted a couple of different ways. Is Michael Moore is doing a new health care documentary about Andy Stephenson? Or was it that you talked---about Andy Stephenson---to Michael Moore's producer, who is doing a health care documentary? Either way... this whole thing could be a nice feather in your cap, eh?

[Do I detect I hint of dubiousness about Pied Piper Pitt's self-serving motivations?]

No feather for me. They reached out to me because Moore is doing a documentary on health care and was told by someone else that Andy's story should be part of the whole. I basically gave the producer the back story and then set her up with the people who were closest to the fundraising. If you look at Moore's site, you'll see his letter about the documentary. He is looking for healthcare horror stories from anyone who has one.



[You saw an opportunity for self-promotion and grabbed it, Pitt. Unfortunately for you, this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies is presenting FACTS that you conveniently want to forget or attempt to airbrush away with your future co-conspirator, benburch. If Jabba the Shmuck uses the Andy Stephenson case in his "documentary," there are many editions of the DUmmie FUnnies that can be referenced to set the record straight.]

I really hope this happens, if it is cool with Termite, because this is exactly what Andy wanted to do -- shine a light on our criminal excuse for a healthcare system.

[You can bet that any Jabba the Shmuck "documentary" on healthcare will be one long commercial as to why we need socialized medicine like they have in Canada.]

I hope they tell everything about his story - including the smear campaign while he was dying.

[Including quotes from PITT and SKINNER.]

The primary focus is on how we had to raise money to get him help. When in any decent nation on the planet, that would have been an understood part of citizenship. But my understanding is that they DO intend to go after the freepers at least in passing. Those goons should expect to come out of their places of employment to find camera crews waiting at their cars...

[Ah! DUmmie benburch finally emerges from the classified sex ads to "enlighten" us about Andy. Medical care WAS available to Andy in his home state of Washington but I wouldn't expect any documentary from Jabba the Shmuck to mention this.]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-13-06 ("Kennedy gave a barn-burner at the immigration rally yesterday")

Look at him. It is a bloated Ted Kennedy with Demagoguery written all over his booze mottled face. And one of the most demagogic speeches EVER given by a U.S. Sentator was delivered by The Swimmer on the subject of illegal immigration. Of couse his demagoguery is the reason why the DUmmies admire him as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Kennedy gave a barn-burner at the immigration rally yesterday." Whenever you hear a DUmmie describe a speech as being a "barn-burner" then you know it is off the scale of sanity. So let us now read of the low-lights of Kennedy's "barn-burner" in Bolshevik Red as the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the proceedings with face mask and snorkle, is in the [brackets]:

Kennedy gave a barn-burner at the immigration rally yesterday

[He's certainly known for burning his bridges behind him.]

As a huge added bonus, hooking McCain into this plan will enrage the Republican base, piling onto their growing discord. Teddy still has it going on.

[As an added bonus, Kennedy DOOMED the chances of McCain getting the Republican nomination by tying him in with the demagogic Kennedy. I never thought I would say this but thank you, Teddy.]

Some excerpts-

[Stand by for an overdose of Demagogery!]

Let me ask you some questions. Are you ready? (Estas listo?)

[Si. Estoy listo para un viaje sobre el puente.]

Do you have a job? (Tienes trabajo?)

[Si. Soy una trabajadora para un senador borracho.]

Do you love your family? (Amas a su familia?)

[Amas a las trabajodoras en su campaña?]

Do you love your community? (Amas a su comunidad?)

[Amas a su camarera con el especial sandwich?]

Do you love America? (Amas a America?)

[Amas a Chappaquiddick?]

They say you should report to deport. I say report to become American citizens.

[Please take a number to stand in the AMNESTY line.]

More than four decades ago, near this place, Martin Luther King called on the nation to let freedom ring. Freedom did ring -- and freedom can ring again.

[That ringing in your ears is the result of your latest hangover.]

It is time for Americans to lift their voices now -- in pride for our immigrant past and in pride for our immigrant future.

[It is time for a certain Senator to lift their dresses now...]

We stand for the future. (Nosotros apoyamos el futuro.)

[Nosotros apoyamos el Jim Beam.]

We stand for our families. (Nosotros apoyamos nuestras familias.)

[Nostotros apoyamos nuestras familias...hasta la anulacion.]

We stand for our faith. (Nosotros apoyamos nuestra fe.)

[Nostotros apoyamos nuestra fe excepto en casos donde la fe es contra la aborcion.]

I stand with you. And you and you and you and you.

[I stand with her. And her and her and her and her.]

Are you with me? (Estan conmigo?)

[Estan conmigo en el viaje sobre el puente?]

John McCain and I have a plan. It is a strong plan. It is a fair plan. It is a plan for America's future.

[Thanx for pulling McCain down with you and drowning his chances of ever getting the Republican nomination.]

And today we are making that future happen.

[Except for McCain. You just drowned out his future as a Republican nominee.]

Will you support us? (Me apoyan?)

Will you support us? (Me apoyan?)

Will you support us? (Me apoyan?)

[No! No! No!]

Well, I'm here today to say that we will support you, too. (Nosotros vamos a apoyar a ustedes tambien.)

[Donde esta la cerveza? Tengo sed. Y, por favor, incluye una muchacha con la cerveza.]

We will never give up. We will never give in.

[You sure gave up quick at a certain bridge in Chappaquiddick.]

Hasta la Victoria!

[Hasta la Derrota!]

Si se puede!

[Salga si puede!]

I saw and heard him speak, and let me just say the crowd was going nuts! All I could think when I heard his speech and the crowd's reaction was "wow, the GOP just lost the latino vote for decades to come."

[All I could think when I heard his speech was "wow, Kennedy just lost his mind for years to come."]

¡Si, se Puede! ¡Viva la Revolución! ¡Viva la Libertad!

[Key phrase: ¡Viva la Revolución!]

Sigh. I love him.

[Then go on a Waterwold Honeymoon with Teddy.]

Except the plan is ridiculous! How are they going to force anyone to sign up? These immigrants are not going to line up and get visas and I see relatively little to encourage employers to get them to. There is vague talk of enhanced sanctions or fines. Big whoop. I love Kennedy but this is all empty rhetoric!

[And this DUmmie wins a Teddy Bare Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

I agree, why would anyone sign up for a visa and pay a $2000 plus fine to stay 6 more years when they are already here? All I see here is a door for 400,000 more illegals to enter the country each year favoring Mexico and why a $500 fee, I thought these people were already destitute. How about giving American citizens some money to relocate from a jobless area to where we supposedly have these labor shortages? I don't see any penalties for the employers just BS about substantial penalties. What about the unemployed person in Appalachia that doesn't have the money to move his family to California for these jobs?

[You're making too much sense. Prepare for your tombstoning.]

This post illustrates the exact problem. These immigrants don't want to assimilate with US. They want us to assimilate with THEM. There's no reason any candidate should be going around speaking Spanish. Do they speak Irish to me? German to the Germans? Polish to the Poles? No, because all our ancestors came here (gasp!) legally and put some effort into learning the language and becoming Americans. So long as they keep trying to force Mexico down our throats, the majority of Americans will continue to be against them. I welcome legal immigrants from any country. But when you come here illegally and forge documents to stay here--sorry, but those are two pretty big crimes, and your butts oughta be shipped back to where you came from (whether it's Mexico or anywhere else).

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

English only chauvinism is always amusing. And always chauvinism.

[Viva La Revolucion! Viva los Chavistas! Viva Castro!]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-12-06 ("Help!!!! I'm having an existential crisis!")

If ever there were a DUmmie thread with a quintessential title, it is this THREAD titled, "Help!!!! I'm having an existential crisis!" If I had a contest for the PERFECT DUmmie thread title, I bet no submission could come close to beating this one. Yes, DUmmies are in a perpetual state of having an Existential Crises. It has been unrelenting for the past 5 years that DUmmieland has been online. And for this, I THANK them since they have supplied a WEALTH of comedic material for the DUmmie FUnnies. So let us now read of yet another DUmmie experiencing an Existential Crises in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, observing the standup act from his Existential Outpost in Cyberspace, is in the [brackets]:

Help!!!! I'm having an existential crisis!

[Stop the world! I wanna get off!!!]

Does anything matter?

[Spoken like a true existentialist.]

How many of you, like me, read about this bio-labs lie, or read about the leak being traced to the White House, or the phone-jamming being traced to the White House, or the Katrina tape, or Cheney shooting his friend in the face -- I could go on forever, like reading "My Pet Goat" and doing nothing, or reading the PDB and doing nothing, or even the Guckert scandal -- and your next thought is, okay, so he'll be resigning soon, or they'll be getting fired soon -- after all, Bill Clinton got impeached over a blow job -- and then the next big event is... NOTHING HAPPENS?

[Don't forget Fitzmas Fitzling and the Day When Everything Finally Changed.]

Is it gradual desensitization? If this were the first day after the stolen 2000 election, would folks be marching in the streets over the loss of our democracy? How many of us will want to move to Mexico soon, to live in a country that still has some semblance of democracy, and the ability to actually elect one's president?

[Yeah. Move to Mexico and try to explain existentialism to the cop who throws you in jail for failing to pay La Mordida. You will enjoy the "semblance of democracy" in a Mexican prison. Oh, and the Mexican prison toilets there are ever so clean. And now let us hear from your fellow DUmmie existentialists.]

It baffles me... What the hell happened to Americans?
They used to have an edge. Now they are hardly more than blind consumer zombies who care only about how much shit they can stuff into their boxes. My parents and grandparents fought on the streets for labor rights. Now, people are complacent... I think that this country has been destroyed by the move to a credit based system informed only by marketing. Everything is driven by corporate bottom lines, and that translates into widespread brainwashing by a market sponsored media.

[DUmmies wish Americans would have THEIR edge and march on Washington by the millions to overthrow the EVIL Bush Regime. The fact that it isn't happening is taken by them that the NORMAL PEOPLE are "hardly more than blind consumer zombies.]

EXACTLY -- brainwashing by a market sponsored media.
That's why we have a bunch of zombies running around thinking they just want to be entertained.

[Speaking of which: THANX DUmmies for the great comedic entertainment you have provided over the years.]

Brainwashed into complacency, into pleasure-driven, pain-avoidance,...behavior. *shakes head*

[I'm shaking my head at all the pleasure-driven, pain-avoidance meds that you DUmmies have admitted to taking. Those are some of my FAVORITE threads. The Meds Threads.]

We won't move to Mexico or Canada...we will fight for America........we will fight for Democracy...and the removal of the Treasonous Bastards...

[You won't be fighting your way past the pizza box. Anything that requires REAL action quickly FIZZLES in DUmmieland. DUAC! DUAC!]

i'm thinking about moving...just trying to figure out where.

[May I recommend a Jersey Shore landfill?]

Hannah Arendt called it "The Banality of Evil"

[PJ-Comix calls it "The Bathos of DUmmies."]

Television, I think, has played a major role in lulling Americans into a stupor. I think I heard the other day that the average kid watches 3 hours of TV a day, and spends far less time than that studying. We seem, as a people, to be more interested in who is going to win American Idol and what' going on with the kids on "Real World" than we do with doing something to help our country.

[This from the DUmmies who fawn over "West Wing" and the fictitious liberal president.]

I hear ya... I am mentally exhausted. Some days, I feel like a total nihilist.

[On even numbered days you are an existentialist. On odd numbered days you are a total nihilist.]

I think people KNOW that protests don't seem to work. But they don't know what else to do. It's paralysis more than anything, for lack of a solution.

[Pied Piper Pitt organized (without the help of A.N.S.W.E.R. he keeps insisting) a protest in Washington in September and no one even noticed.]

some days it is just beyond bearable. I have days where I read one story after another of the things these liars and thieves and killers are doing to this country and to the world, and I just can't take it all in. I want to cry or scream or something.... and I write letters and sign petitions and go to demonstrations and talk with all my friends about this outrage or that outrage. And yet, it continues and continues and another day comes where I read again about more things that are taken away, one more person who is stopped by Homeland Security, one more person who is delayed at the airports, one more person who is filing suit through ACLU for torture and abduction, hundreds more people dead in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Middle East, one more threat of war and destruction, one more distortion from this administration told as if it were truth. How much more can we take before it all comes tumbling down? I truly believe we are watching the downfall of this country, much like the downfall of other empires and countries that were once so powerful. The biggest difference is that we have so much more military might and a ruling elite that won't give up anything, that think this military might can control the world. In fact, it can't really control it, but it can destroy it. Will they take that final step and nuke Iran? Don't know, afraid to believe it, but afraid to ignore the possibility. My friends sometimes tell me to take the weekend off and stop reading all the news. But even so, it's still there when I come back. And inside I feel compelled to do something, one more letter, one more demo, even if I find it hard to believe it will make a difference. Doing nothing, however, I know won't make a difference and makes me feel worse. So just like the rest of us, I struggle on trying to believe that we will come out of this on the other side before I die. After all, we have lived through the depression, WWII and Hitler, the bombing of Japan, McCarthy, this is just another sad time for the world. I try not to give up hope.

[Let's all have an existential moment of silence in memory of the repressed terrorists.]

Same as you ...doing nothing makes me feel worse. So I plod along doing what I can. Your friends' advice is good --to take breaks, which I do. But some of us just can't stop keeping the vigil when we know someone (or a country) we care about is in serious trouble. It is profoundly depressing to live in a state of vigil for an extended period of time. It's only natural to want to feel GOOD about your country. Most people want to feel connected to a community that "works," that makes sense, that doesn't perpetrate evil and reward corruption. I still have hope at this point, because so many Americans seem to be waking up and realizing the seriousness of the situation. Finally. And because of their misdeeds too numerous to list, the Bushies are sputtering, flailing and floundering. People are seeing for themselves that the Emperor is naked. Most of the country is hoping and praying for big changes. I don't feel so alone anymore. You don't truly appreciate what you've got til it's gone. And a lot of things we took for granted are gone. Maybe we had to learn this the hard way...before we can create the America we really want to live in...to do that we need to hold both parties feet to the fire. There will be opportunity in the downfall of the B* regime.

[I love the smell of DUmmie futility in the morning!]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-11-06 (Reporter Politically Cleansed From Newspaper For Being A ....REPUBLICAN!!!)

A couple of months ago I was chatting with a woman who works at one of the local colleges here in South Florida. After a while, I mentioned to her that I am the author of a Blog called the DUmmie FUnnies which I described as being a humor blog about current events. Since she was sitting next to a computer connected to the Web, I gave her the Web address of this Blog and she went to it and began to read. Several minutes passed as she checked out this Blog and I went back to reading a book I had on me. Suddenly, my attention on the book was broken by the woman blurting out in shock: "Are you...a...a... REPUBLICAN???" I then replied that among my many other "crimes" I was...a...a... REPUBLICAN. My quick imitation of her initial shocked reaction did evoke a chuckle from her so it all turned out okay. When one is in a university atmosphere and is pleasantly chatting about non-political things in general, a liberal can easily mistake another person for being anything but a..a...REPUBLICAN!!!

However, it appears being an announced Republican can be a crime. Or at least cost you your job if you are working for a newspaper. Such was the case at my hometown Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel when editor Earl Maucker proved himself to be a Mocker of fairness when he removed political reporter, Buddy Nevins, from his post for the "high crime" of announcing that he is a...a...REPUBLICAN!!! Yes, Katie Couric can PRETEND to be the unbiased anchor of See-BS News after PRETENDING to be the unbiased host of the Today Show but that is okay because we ALL know that she is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT even though she has done everything to tell us that except for actually mouthing the words. Oh, and Couric is being replaced on the Today Show by MEREDITH VIEIRA who marched in an anti-war parade filled with the usual leftist loonies and their allied comrades but that is okay because she didn't actually mouth the words that she is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. Vieira even declared that: "Everything's been built on lies. Everything! I mean the entire pretext for war." Even that is okay with NBC because Vieira didn't actually mouth the words that she is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT even though that is exactly what she has been announcing all along but not in the EXACT words. As a matter of fact, even if Vieira did announce that she is a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, that wouldn't make any difference because NBC would merely announce that being a liberal Democrat wouldn't make her biased in her coverage. However, if ANYBODY in the mainstream media dares to announce that he (or she) is a (GASP!) Republican of the conservative persuasion, that would probably spell doom to his political career. As we have seen happen at the Sun-Sentinel, Buddy Nivens has been politically purged for making that "criminal" announcement. So let us now watch Earl the Pearl become a Maucker of common sense as he tries to EXPLAIN away the reasons for the purge in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that DUmmies can also appear on editorial pages as well as in DUmmieland, is in the [brackets]:

Journalistic independence key to credibility

[Translation: "You must PRETEND to be unbiased even if you aren't. (Preceding rule not to apply to REPUBLICANS.)"]

Fairness is one of the standards that every legitimate news operation aims to achieve.

[See-BS News: FAILED!
NBC News: FAILED!
Newsweek Magazine: FAILED!
Sun-Sentinel: FAILED!]

It doesn't happen automatically.

[It doesn't happen AT ALL at most news outlets.]

Our ability to be fair was called into question recently when Broward political columnist and reporter Buddy Nevins gave a speech to a local Republican Club in Broward County.

[Dan Rather could help RAISE MONEY for the Democrats in Texas but that wasn't why CBS eventually got rid of him.]

The club was planning to suspend the formal opening of its proceedings -- open only to Republicans -- to allow for Buddy's speech.

[Uh-Oh! Stand by for a SHOCKING announcement!]

Buddy said the delay wasn't necessary because he was a newly registered Republican. He held up his form from the elections office as proof.

[GASP!!! A...a...REPUBLICAN??? How could such a VILE creature be allowed into the hallowed sanctum of the Sun-Sentinel where it is assumed that the ONLY thinking people are good Democrats?]

From what I'm told, his gesture received a round of applause from the Republican membership.

[Being applauded by Republicans must mean you're an insensitive, homophobic, sexist, BIGOT! Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Nevins carries a concealed weapon and drives an SUV.]

When asked why he registered GOP, Buddy told the gathering he'd changed his party affiliation to vote in the primary for gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist.

[Horrible! Not only did he Nevins register as a Republican but, even worse, he plans to vote for a Republican.]

We have no problem with our reporters appearing before local community, civic or even political organizations.

[As long as it is understood that they are liberals. Continue stringing your Pearls, Earl...]

And, our employees can register for any political party, and vote for any candidate they want.

[As long as they keep their membership as Republicans a deep shameful secret...]

But what Buddy said before that audience was wrong -- clear and simple.

[Buddy committed the high crime of being horribly honest and admitted that he is a...a...Republican! (And is there ANY DOUBT that Earl Maucker is not a Liberal?)]

At that moment, he gave up his journalistic independence -- independence in this case meaning that he must not appear to favor any candidate or party. By declaring support for a candidate, he irreparably damaged his credibility as a political reporter. And he damaged the credibility of this newspaper.

[So Tom Oliphant of the Boston Globe has "journalistic independence" because he didn't actually say he is a liberal democrat even though we all know that is what he is?

So ELEANOR CLIFT of Newsweek has "journalistic independence" because she didn't actually say she is a liberal democrat even though we all know that is what she is?

And Katie Couric has "journalistic independence" even though she didn't mouth the words announcing that she is a liberal democrat?


Ditto Meredith Vieira. And Brian Williams. And DOZENS upon DOZENS of other liberal Democrats working for the mainstream media.]

Because of his public comments, readers and those involved in the political process could rightly question Buddy's fairness on the political beat.

[Once you confess to being a Republicans, the death sentence is pronounced upon your career in the mainstream media.]

After an initial review of the issue, we took Buddy off any coverage of the Florida gubernatorial race.

[The correct term for this procedure is PURGED.]

Whether his comment was done in jest or to provoke a reaction from the Republican audience, the damage was done.

[Once the confession leaves your lips that you are a Republican, the dirty deed is done and cannot be undone.]

His announcement was particularly sensitive because Buddy not only writes a weekly political column offering commentary, but he also covers the political beat as a reporter.

[Buddy Nevins should have been as "unbiased" as Tom Oliphant of the Boston Globe. Or as "unbiased" as ELEANOR CLIFT of Newsweek.]

We pay columnists to voice their opinions, but reporters must be fair and balanced, and refrain from allowing personal opinion into their news reports.

[So was there any EVIDENCE that Nevins allowed personal opinion into his news reports? Earl the Pearl offers none.]

Can a reporter, then, seamlessly change stripes and write political commentary? Can one person accomplish both without a conflict? It is an editor's dilemma.

[Not if the reporter in question is an obviously BIASED Liberal. Then it isn't an editor's dilemma. It's merely the ACCEPTED norm.]

Many newspapers allow political columnists to also cover political stories. The thinking is that these are the folks most attuned to the political landscape and best-prepared to offer insight and perspective in commentary columns.

[Most newspapers allowed biased Liberals to cover all stories from their POV. The thinking is that Liberalism IS the norm.]

But Buddy's comments at the Republican Club put all that into question because readers could likely believe he has political loyalties influencing his news reporting

[God forbid that a Republican betray even the slightest hint of having an opinion. Such attitudes MUST be political cleansed from the pristine pure pages of the Sun-Sentinel.]

In today's world, where there is such righteous indignation and partisan radicalism, there is no room for questionable judgment or even the perception of a conflict.

[Really? Then you would need to FIRE most of your current reporters. Instead you SINGLE OUT the ONE admitted Republican in your crew for punishment.]

Our first obligation is to be open and honest with our readers about why we are making a change.

[Okay, Earl. When does that start happening?]

Bob Steele, an expert on media ethics at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, said it best: "Tell your readers why and how the Sun-Sentinel honors journalistic independence and thereby protects its credibility."

[By politically cleansing the news pages of self-confessed Republicans, that's how.]

This column is a step in that process.

[This column is a step in the lame excuse process.]

We will also review and compare notes with other newspapers on how they handle the potential conflict involved with allowing reporters to also write columns, whether they be from news, sports or features.

[We will also get tips from other newspapers on how to purge Republicans from our sacred sanctum.]

Our readers rely on and trust the Sun-Sentinel and we must protect that bond.

[Thank you, Earl. I'll always rely on you to make a Mauckery of fairness by politically cleansing your newspapers of all self-confessed Republicans.]

We have decided to move Buddy off the political beat permanently because we felt his independence has been compromised. Buddy agreed and looks forward to covering other assignments for the Sun-Sentinel.

[Welcome to the Obituary Section, Buddy, where you can write an obituary for your own newspaper career.]

This is not a move we made lightly, nor did we make it in haste. But, it is a move that he and we felt was necessary to protect the credibility of the newspaper.

[MAUCK! MAUCK! Cried the Maucker Bird. And thanks for making a Mauckery of a rational explanation as to why you politically purged Buddy Nevins from reporting on politics.]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-10-06 ("Would the military intervene to save us?")

Congratulations to Dummie steve2370! After over a year of probation, you have finally REDEEMED yourself and came up with an hilarious DUmmie thread again worthy of publication in the DUmmie FUnnies. Yes, DUmmie steve2470, you are back in the spotlight again with your incredibly ENTERTAINING cluelessness. For those of you unfamiliar with DUmmie steve2470, he is the author of two of the FUnniest threads featured in the DUmmie FUnnies. The first of the classic steve2370 threads appeared in the February 21, 2005 DUFU edition titled, Clueless about women, please help me out in which our boy couldn't figure out that his date gave him a complete brushoff. It has to be read to be believed. Then steve2470 followed this up a few days later with Clueless about women, part deux in which he still maintained, against all evidence to the contrary, that he could still score a date with the hot chick. Yes, these threads were both truly FUnnie but then a strange thing happened. Steve2470, despite his public exposure in the DUFUs as a complete shmoe, began to bask in the spotlight. As a result, he began posting increasingly bizarre threads in the hope of being featured again in the DUmmie FUnnies. Unfortunately, his latter posts lacked the natural cluelessness of the first two and I had to tempoararily ban him from any further appearances in the DUmmie FUnnies. However, I see the probationary period has worked out well since steve2570 is BACK with AUTHENTIC cluelessness again with this THREAD naively titled, "Would the military intervene to save us?" The thread has all the classic elements of steve2470's refreshing divorce from reality. So let us now watch DUmmie steve2470 weave his fairy tale military fantasy in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering how many times steve2470 has been shot down by women during his probationary period, is in the [brackets]

Would the military intervene to save us?

[I'm picturing steve2470 as a dewy eyed Snow White singing: "Some Day My Prince Will Come."]

To you CIA/NSA spooks, I'm not advocating violence here, so just relax. Let's just say, theoretically, that nothing stops Bushco and Repugs and the fascism continues to grow. Would anyone with influence in the military try to organize a true coup and take back the country? Or...would we really be SOL in that case ? I sure hope we never get to that point in reality.

[Um...let's see, steve2470. The Left is constantly attacking the military and trying to keep them from setting up recruiting booths on campuses. Not only that, Leftists like Richard Belzer are now ATTACKING the intelligence of military personnel in Iraq with comments that he is more knowledgeable about what is going on over there because "they don't read twenty newspapers a day" like he supposedly does. And yet, despite all this, steve2470, is blinking his eyes and sighing in the hope that the military will illegally overthrow the EVIL Bush Regime and hand power over to the DUmmiecrats so they can more effectively besmirch the military. This is actually a bigger delusion than his belief that he could score with a hot chick. But let us continue now with the steve2470 inspired comedy act with more laugh lines from his fellow DUmmies...]

I think the military would fire on us in the beginning but after awhile, then would say 'what the f*ck?" and would restore America back to Americans!

[More likely the military would say, "GET SOME!" and increase their rate of fire into the DUmmie hordes.]

Were Bushco to try a putsch, the most likely thing would be the military would fight itself. One thing I always thought Tim McVeigh's favorite book, "The Turner Diaries," got right, was that the military would split into the federals and the fascists. Probably nowadays the fascists would win that fight, since RW Christian Dominionism has made such inroads into the professional military, from the service academies on up. There would be a Constitutional crisis. Hard to predict how it would come out. Most probably there would be a move to secede by progressive states in the West and Upper Midwest.

[Methinks you've already seceded from REALITY.]

Actually, I was "hoping" the military would do it without Bush

[Back to steve2470 and his fluttering heart hoping that the military would be so deluded as to accomplish the DUmmie hope of removing Bush from office. Yeah, DUmmie benburch is TOO LAZY to pull himself away from his computer screen to do anything but post rantings about sending a million idiots to Washington for Regime Change but you somehow think the military will carry out the wishes of a bunch of mental cases?]

Thought Your Hypothetical Was Bushco Made the Move
If Bushco made the move, don't you think progressive forces in the military (a minority, certainly) would move to check the putsch? I do. They might get crushed by the RW fascist sympathizers in the military, which I believe to be in the strong majority. Of course, there have always been fascists in the U.S. military. (My favorite movie on the subject is "Seven Days in May.")

[From reading your post, I got the impression that your favorite movie is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."]

I'm not advocating violence either, I just want to know what the military's protocol is for a government out of control.

[I just want to know what the military's protocol is for a DUmmie Mind out of control.]

Is Christian fundamentalism a significant factor in the high
echelons of the military? Is "echelons" the right word? Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything much scarier than Christian Dominionist types at command level.

[Make religious belief a court martial offense (unless it is Muslim belief)!]

i was discussing this with my mom yesterday and I was saying how I dont think Bu$h is going anywhere in 2008. He's gonna suspend the constitution (probably after some catastrophic "torrirsit" attack) and the elections wont take place. These people are simply too cocky. They KNOW they're not going anywhere.
Anyway, my mom said that if something like that were to occur, the military would step in a put an end to it. I dont know whether they'd do this or not.

[It's dangerous for a DUmmie to discuss politics with Mommy in his computer Romper Room.]

I can conceive of situations Bushco could engineer that might make it very tricky for the military to intercede in a timely, let alone surgical, fashion. It might take quite sometime for heads at the military to unite on a plan of action, even after, and assuming, they could agree that action needed taking. Meanwhile there might be a lot of pain here and around the world.

[We already know there is a pain in Uranus.]

yes, I agree. And I really dont see them leaving in
2008. Maybe I should be wearing my tinfoil hat, but these guys dont ACT like they're gonna go anywhere. They dont care what we think regarding their destruction of the constitution, etc. Its scary! And they also know that if they are ever thrown out, they're probably going to jail. I dont think we're taking anything back in November either. The voting is totally fixed. These ppl are here to stay. And the american ppl have NO recourse.

[Attention DUmmies! Resistance is FUTILE! Voting will do you NO GOOD! Please assume the Fetal Position with thumb tucked firmly in mouth and await further orders!]

Hypothetical: Troops take over White House, hand power to ...
a joint Dem/Repug. task force. Not the entire country.

[Hypothetical: Veil of delusion drops from DUmmie steve2470's eyes and he briefly sees REALITY for what it is. The shock could overload your nervous system.]

I think your hypothetical scenario could only work.........
If action was taken absolutely immediately by a very limited number of very ballsy military leaders acting on their own initiative. But it would have to happen almost instantly after B* did something unequivocal in terms of seizing dictatorial power. I mean instantly. Over and done before anyone else could react or decide which side to take. Maybe they could render him to Syria.

[Maybe they could render the fat cells in your brain to soap.]

Brainwashed GIs. Most in the military hate libruls and the media. Most watch only FAUXNEWZ and listen only to Der Ruschkopf. We wouldn't stand a chance.

[Is that you, Richard Belzer?]

they are too cowardly to defend the constitution. That's why they've not defended it from bush when he crossed obvious constitutional controls.
They are incompetent to their sworn purpose, what good is an army like that.

[Code Pink Alert!]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-07-06 ("Lets not WAIT for Impeachment. Lets throw them out now.")

Remember the dopey DUmmie plan to surround the White House or some such nonsense? It has been almost completely FORGOTTEN because it just fizzled out completely. One big reason is that it would have actually required the DUmmies to remove their carcasses from in front of their computer screens and actually DO something (which is why DUAC also flopped). Well, they haven't given up. DUmmie benburch, in his reliably nutcase way, has come up with another KOOKIE plan that requires the DUmmies to converge on Washington as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Lets not WAIT for Impeachment. Lets throw them out now." And in case you think the DUmmies are embarrassed by this thread that calls for the DUmmies to bypass the constitution via REVOLUTION, you would be WRONG since this dopey thread made their GREATEST page. So let us now watch the DUmmies try to convince us in Bolshevik Red that they can actually tear themselves away from their computer screen to bring about the downfall of the EVIL Bush Regime in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent predicting that even DUmmie benburch will be a No-Show, is in the [brackets]:

Lets not WAIT for Impeachment. Lets throw them out now.

[YAWN! ANOTHER call to action by DUmmie benburch that he WON'T be following up on.]

I think we should all get in our cars, get on trains, rent busses, go to DC, and exercise our rights to Petition the Government for Redress and peacefully occupy the entire city and keep anything from happening there until the whole Bush Administration resigns. The whole f*cking thing. Top to bottom.

[Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. The reality is that you won't get past the driveway in your tricycle before you feel the allure of the computer screen beckoning you to return to the basement again, DUmmie benburch.]

The worlds biggest flash mob.

[The flash mob just went POOF! And now to hear from the rest of the DUmmie Peanut Gallery chiming in on yet ANOTHER dopey benburch Alternate Reality plan.]

America Storms the White House to remove the corrupt regime.
Any where else it would have happened already.

[It was already supposed to have happened a few weeks ago but completely FIZZLED OUT when the DUmmies realized there would be massive No-Shows.]

what the hell would they do? Nothing could stop a million people from going and doing wherever the hell they wanted to. It's a very scary thought.

[A million? You're gonna have to struggle to get a dozen (which won't include benburch) mental cases to show up.]

I am broke, but I would pull money out of savings...
and take a bus. Nothing is more important than ridding this country of the lying, pre-emptive warring, nuke-mongering, murdering regime.

[Hit on benburch by telling him that he is just $10 away from sending a DUmmie to Washington, D.C. to attend the non-event that he will be avoiding as usual.]

LETS DO IT!

[Or at least promise to watch it on C-SPAN from your comfy sofa.]

This isn't even a protest. This is citizens using a constitutional right that is rarely used.

[Thus spaketh Constitutional Scholar, benburch, citing the imaginary section of the Constitution which allows a mob in the streets to force a President out of office.]

I don't think they'd be able to do much about it.......
A million+ sincere and hopefully orderly citizens showing up to glare at them (peacefully) is not an insurrection. They would think long and hard about Kent State and Tianenmon Square before they used force against a peaceful gathering. I think they'd try to just wait us out. Four dead in O-HI-O wasn't very good publicity for 'em last time.

[And only four DUmmies showing up won't be very good publicity for you this time.]

Then let them shoot me first.

[...Typed DUmmie benburch bravely while washing down another slice of pizza with orange soda in the midst of valiantly manning his keyboard outpost before emitting another impotent BURP!]

My worry is that * would use something like this as a pretense to declare martial law.

[Your worry is that "*" wouldn't even notice the four DUmmies who make up the entirety of that "vast" mob.]

OR-everyone stay HOME for 2-3 weeks. No work, or purchases or trades of any kind. Go to your keyboards & stay resolute. Hands in pockets. This also would work and would perhaps only require 15-20 million irate Americans who have lost key liberties-jobs outsourced-relatives dying in illegal, immoral wars-our planet being destroyed-dollar collapsing in trillions of dollars of all time record debt. Social Security Fund is rumoured to be emptied--etc.etc.etc.

[Finally a proposal that the DUmmies can actually get behind. Just sit in front of their computer screens for a couple of weeks doing nothing. Something the DUmmies are well practiced at. DUAC! DUAC!]

If there was really a way to coordinate that - I'd be right at the rear!

[You'll be taking up the rear in your computer chair.]

Not a coup, a capitualtion. Make them resign, and then replace them Constitutionally.

[DUmmie benburch is under the illusion that one day Bush will look out his window, see a handful of ragged DUmmies in Lafayette Park, and then immediately resign along with his entire administration. So what drug have you been snorting lately, benburch?]

But don't we need the ANSWER Coalition to lead us ... so
So the message of the march could be "sharpened" to be mainly about differently-abled Palestinian lesbians who are denied custody rights in the rain forests of East Timor?

[LOL! Very FUnnie you LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Yep, A.N.S.W.E.R. is I.N.S.A.N.E.

[And DUmmie benburch is N.U.T.S.]

KICK THE MUTHERF*CKERS OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
For those who can't go that far away, we should all do something locally this weekend!!!

[Like hitting the ctl-alt-delete button in protest?]

Surround it like we surrounded his Ranch.
Make it impossible for him to live there. Make it impossible for the government to conduct business. No need to storm the White House! A million people in the streets will do the trick.

[So why don't YOU set an example, DUmmie benburch, and GO to Washington NOW? Or do you just plan to watch, as usual, on C-SPAN?]

No need for affirmative action.
Just by being there we would make it impossible to move around even though we would take no action to prevent that.

[No affirmative action? Does this mean that the number of the Sanity Challenged can go no higher than 90% at this non-demonstration?]

And have a V for Vendetta moment on Halloween right before the election... and get all of our V masks, our Russ Feingold masks, etc. and storm the capitol just like the movie.

[Maybe you can have a V for Vieira moment since new NBC Today co-host, Meredith Vieira, likes to make common ground with you DUmmies by marching in leftwing demonstrations. As to the Russ Feingold mask...Great idea! Crazy Nerd masks should be a big Halloween hit this year.]

Every Democratic member of Congress, and any Republican members ... actually serving their oath of office should be at the White House at 9am EDT, 7 April 2006, demanding the immediate resignation of Bush And Cheney.
We then would begin the decades-long, arduous task of rebuilding the Republic and restoring America as a law abiding member of the community of Nations.

[As I type this, we are only a half hour away from that deadline. Can it be pulled off? Oh, the tension is killing me!]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-06-06 ("WTC buildings were demolished by cutter charges")

DUmmieland has a forum section whose subject matter is so embarrassing that Head DUmmie,Skinner, has consigned it away from the main forums. It is the SEPTEMBER 11 Forum. So desperate is Skinner to keep this forum from public view that he forbids it to be nominated for the highly visible Greatest section in DUmmieland. Of course, since wacko conspiracy theories are part and parcel of being a DUmmie, Skinner can't can't completely forbid the tinfoil hat theories from being tossed around. In order to get a proper perspective on all these space cadet 9/11 theories, I urge everyone out there to watch this Penn & Teller VIDEO which completely exposes what a bunch of MENTAL CASES these 9/11 conspiracy theorists are. While watching this EXCELLENT video, I kept thinking "DUmmies" while viewing the wack jobs featured in the piece. Added to the list of nutcases who believe that the 9/11 attack was some sort of U.S. government conspiracy is one Steven E. Jones, a BYU professor. As you can see in this THREAD titled, "BYU Physics Professor: WTC buildings were demolished by cutter charges," Jones claims that hidden explosives, not the planes, were what brought down the WTC buildings. So don't believe your lying eyes. Those planes didn't cause the collapse. Instead you should believe that explosive charges were somehow placed and hidden in the WTC buildings and elaborately timed to go off after the planes hit the towers. So let us now put on our tinfoil hats and watch the DUmmies lap up yet another wacko conspiracy theory in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hoping that Penn & Teller can add this NUttie Professor to their VIDEO is in the [brackets]:

BYU Physics Professor: WTC buildings were demolished by cutter charges

[IMPEACH BUSH NOW!!!]

I just got done reading this paper. This is by far the best analysis I've seen so far. Whether you are a believer in the 9/11 Comission Report, FBI negligence, LIHOP or MIHOP, everyone needs to read this paper. I don't remember seeing this posted already (it probably has) but it's worth taking a second look and having a further discussion on it.

[Yes. Let us believe that a secret government team placed large numbers of explosive charges all over the World Trade Center Buildings without being detected. Oh, and we also have to believe the government then set the charges off and killed thousands of people just so Bush could advance his agenda. And all this pulled off perfectly without ONE person involved in the plot ever revealing what happened. Yes, this could be done but only in the Alternate Reality DUmmie Zone.]

In writing this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges. I consider the official FEMA, NIST, and 9-11 Commission reports that fires plus impact damage alone caused complete collapses of all three buildings. And I present evidence for the controlled-demolition hypothesis, which is suggested by the available data, testable and falsifiable, and yet has not been analyzed in any of the reports funded by the US government.

[Thank you Professor Steven Jones. You could have also mentioned that you are a member of the Scholars for 9/11 Truth which claims that members of the Bush administration knew of the attacks in advance but did nothing to stop them (LIHOP).]

Here's what his peers think ..
"The university is aware that Professor Steven Jones' hypotheses and interpretations of evidence regarding the collapse of World Trade Centerbuildings are being questioned by a number of scholars and practitioners, including many of BYU's own faculty members. Professor Jones' department and college administrators are not convinced that his analyses and hypotheses have been submitted to relevant scientific venues that would ensure rigorous technical peer review."

[Please expect a tombstoning ceremony soon for showing the slightest hint of skepticism.]

You're a funny guy, hack89. Can you prove the official story/claims of the 9/11 Commission? Or do you have your own ideas? All I ever see you do around here is shoot down other people's ideas. Have you ever posted your own?
Answer this one question, if you dare: What is your "theory" as to what happened on 9/11?

[A DUmmie is ANGRY that hack89 doesn't buy into the usual DUmmie conpiracy theories. As to what happened on 9/11, DUmmieland in general doesn't accept the fact that Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked the planes and flew them into the WTC and Pentagon, causing the collapse of the WTC. To accept that "theory" would be to buy into the rational view of what actually happened right before our "lying" eyes.]

now show me how the government is keeping thousands of scientist and engineers silent about 9/11. It is central to your CT - please prove it.

[hack89 replies with SANITY. His days in DUmmieland are numbered.]

Well, right back at you...prove without a doubt everything in the official story being true. Start with the pentagon and building 7 please. A 757 goes into the pentagon and its still standing, while a few small fires from debris supposedly makes an entire building collapse. Please also tell me why building 7 was cleaned up first and quickly when there was nobody inside to save, while hundreds or thousands were in the WTC1 and 2 and that is where all the focus should have been. I also find it suspect they all fell exactly in the same way, regardless of where they were hit and what they were hit by...either planes or debris. And why was WTC 6 still standing to be demolished later due to the severity of it's damage...it was damaged more severely than 7. The Pentagon and building 6 must have been superman buildings...can withstand anything, right?

[Never fear. The moment a bit of sanity emergest in DUmmieland it is soon overwhelmed by insanity.]

I`m just an average Joe off the street. I don`t know too much about structural integrity, but can somebody tell me the last(or first) time a building (it doesn`t have to be a steel one) ever collapsed in it`s own footprint.
If my memory serves me correctly it happened to 3 separate steel buildings, within a 12 hour period(I think 2 of `em within an hour), sometime in September, way back in 2001. When I first saw the impact areas I thought to myself "self, the top of that one looks like it`s gonna topple over." You know, kinda like chopping down a tree, but I`ll be damned if it didn`t just fall straight down.

[Can you tell me the last time a fully fueled airline jet crashed directly into a skyscraper?]

Obviously they still think he is credible, or knows what he is doing... since he still has his professor of PHYSICS job.

[It's called TENURE. Ask Ward Churchill about that.]

Interesting that a Republican majority congress thinks that spending $40 million to uncover a secret blow-job is better justified than spending LESS THAN HALF an equal amount on uncovering potential INSIDE involvment in 9/11

[Yes. Blow $40 million to try to discover LIHOP (or MIHOP). And who would head that investigation? Congressman Hinchey?]

Did you know 5 israeli students (mossad spy's) were videotaping the attacks? how did they come to learn of them? advance warnings? soon after the neighbors called the cops those spy's were caught and held for 2 months, DEMAND BUSH RELEASE THOSE VIDEOTAPES? will you join the effort?

[I'm surprised it took this long for the DUmmies to place the blame on the Israelis. Usually they do it from the get-go.]

The NIST uses the same basic principles as above. Yes, it's a complex system, but they know how fires behave in office building with good accuracy. I understand you do not believe the NIST model is useful. I can't tell you how accurate it is. I can state with confidence that if they say fires may have reached 1000 deg F they are close. Close meaning it might really be 800 or it might be 1200, but it not going to be 200F. No matter what, it is conclusive that fire temperatures were hot enough to degrade the strength of the steel. I can't tell you anything to change your mind about this because you lack an understanding of how models work.

[LARED is another one who will soon be tombstoned for citing scientific EVIDENCE. The other DUmmies are trying to convince themselves that the WTC couldn't have collapsed due to the heat because the steel never went about about 250 deg C. Somehow, according to them, all that fire WE SAW never really heated the steel up all that much.]

I've been reading over your posts here in the 9/11 forum and you seem to be very clear on what didn't happen but I have been unable to find a post where you explain what you think did happen. Could you direct me to a post where you propose or support a specific explanation for what caused the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings and the destruction at the Pentagon?

[Lared proves that that secretly planted explosions didn't cause the WTC collapse but now this DUmmies now wants to know what REALLY did happen. BTW, the Pentagon wasn't destroyed.]

Lared; Your nonsensical and simplistic version of the official explanation was completely debunked last summer by a civil engineer on the thread below. Why do you obstinately persist in perpetuating it?

[Lared; Your scientific and logical version of what happened was completely debunked last summer by a 9/11 conspiracy kook.]

As a physicist Dr. Jones should be able to write in an articulate and substantive manner about the events of 9/11. He choose not to, and mostly rehashed 9/11 mythology and sophistry found all over the internet. You will need to ask him why.

[LARED, I just can't take any more of your rationality. I can no longer hold back. Okay, here goes....LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

The official theory would have us believe that WTC1, WTC2 were as fragile and susceptible to collapse as a house of cards. From what I have read this is nonsense -- the towers were constructed with significant redundancy -- they were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. One engineer compares the effects of the impact of a jet into one of the towers to the effects of punching a hole in a screen door with a pencil. But don't try to find the blueprints, they have conveniently disappeared, along with most of the debris from WTC1 and WTC2. The black boxes/flight recorders are also missing. And all of the structural steel from WTC7 was shipped overseas before it could be analyzed - check the NIST preliminary report to verify this. And the the idea that jet fuel dispersed throughout the building, ignited and significantly weakened the structural members is absurd -- jet fuel doesn't burn at a temperature sufficient to melt structural steel. I am not an engineer but the idea that these towers, which stood for thirty years, withstood fire and a bombing, were destroyed by the impact of passenger jets seems utterly ludicrous.

[Thank you for returning this DUmmie discussion back to irrationality again.]

That a pancake collapse could look like that just defies belief. I'm not an engineer either but the idea that the expulsions from the sides of the buildings were caused by a stack of floors descending inside the facade and pulverizing floors in succession just doesn't seem possible. For the pancake stack to descend so evenly without either pushing or pulling that corner out of place seems so improbable as to be getting into the impossible range. I'd like to know what the details are of the pancaking theory of this tower in terms of what was supposedly happening to the various elements of the structure.

[You want pancakes? Then go to IHOP. Or better yet LIHOP. Or MIHOP.]

My intuition is that, at worst, several floors might have collapsed but not the entire building, in perfect symmetry, at free fall speed. As far as I have been able to determine there is no precedent for this.

[Correct. No fully fueled large jet passenger plane ever crashed directly into a skyscraper before.]

Perhaps there is no precedent because .. it was a unique event? As far as I know, this is the first instance of an airplane hitting a skyscraper at high speed.

[BINGO! Now on to your tombstoning ceremony.]

think that we can agree that this was a unique event. But as to the cause of the event I'm afraid we differ. I think that it is preposterous to assert, based on the currently available evidence, that WTC1 and WTC2 collapsed symmetrically at free fall speed into their own footprints as a result of passenger jets flying into them. As I am sure you have read many times in many other posts,the towers were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. These events look like controlled demolition, they sound like controlled demolition, the seismic record indicates explosions, the debris has all of the characteristics of materials subjected to explosive devices and there is no precedent for a steel framed high rise structure to fall as a result of fire. Material was ejected horizontally and vertically with such force that it penetrated buildings blocks away. The clouds of dust were clearly pyroclastic in nature. The record is clear that the jet fuel burned off in minutes. And, in any case jet fuel does not burn at a sufficiently high temperature to create the devastating effects you assign to it. And even if the the jet's impact were more devastating, the hits were not direct and it is logical to think that at least one of the buildings would have collapsed asymmetrically. As for WTC7, WTC7 was not hit by a jet and yet collapsed so quickly and symmetrically that one analyst has calculated that it actually fell faster than free fall due to the vacuum created by a CD type implosion. The official theory postulates an absurd and unlikely concatenation of events which, in my view, is simpy not supported by the available evidence.

[The official theory postulates an absurd and unlikely hypothesis that you are rational which, in my view, is simply not supported by the available evidence.]

Has Professor Jones considered the use of the elevators for a weapons delivery system? There were over 200 elevators in each tower. One was a special freight elevator that was for taking full size trucks all the way from the basement to the top of each the tower. We also know that Marvin Bush's company ran security and that the weekend before parts of the buildings were shut down for an unusual 'maintenance operation'. Since the attack was an inside job, they would have had no problem driving in a few preloaded vehicles or boxes. Sending the elevator to a floor of your choice and the shutting it down for 'repairs'. Especially if you could turn off any surveillance cameras that might cause a problem.

[Congratulations on your successful audition for the Penn & Teller 9/11 Conspiracy VIDEO!]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-05-06 (Pied Piper Pitt Lists Reasons Why Democrats MUST Be Defeated)

If ever there were a DUmmie FUnnies edition that needs to be spread far and wide, this one is it. The reason is that William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt has listed in FRIGHTENING detail what will happen if the House of Representatives goes Democrat in this year's election. Of course, Pitt made his list as reasons why the Democrats should win but, as usual, his post is doomed to boomerang on him. I predict that if this list is used in Republican ads as reasons why they must be re-elected to a majority, the Democrats and much of the media will screech about "dirty" campaign tactics despite the fact that the original source is Bob Shrum wannabee, Pied Piper Pitt. So let us take a look at Pied Piper Pitt's LIST titled,
"The next time you see someone say 'I refuse to support the Democrats!'..." in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that virtually everybody on Pitt's list is ready for the Rubber Room, is in the [bracktets]:

The next time you see someone say "I refuse to support the Democrats!"...

[....Shake his hand and treat him to a drink at Bukowski's.]

...show them this thread. This is what the House will look like if the Democrats are given enough support to take that chamber back.

[Unfortunately for you, this thread will have exactly the OPPOSITE effect than what you intended, Pitt. One look at this list will SHOCK many normally apathetic voters into the voting booth to make sure the inmates listed NEVER slither into power.]

At least 10 Congressional Progressive Caucus members will become Committee Chairmen or Chairwomen. An additional 35 Congressional Progressive Caucus members would become Subcommittee Chairmen or Chairwomen. The following Progressive Caucus members would become Committee Chairs:

["Progressive" being the codeword for Socialistic Leftwing Liberal Loony.]

Congressman George Miller: Chairman of Education and Workforce Committee;

[Miller, a San Francisco area Congressman, is adamantly opposed to school vouchers. This would make it harder for poor families to send their children to private schools such as a certain private school in Newton, MA. But is that really a bad thing (if the students are girls)?]

Congressman Barney Frank: Chairman of Financial Services;

[Great oversight from Our Boy Lollipop who was complete "unaware" that his boyfriend operated a MALE PROSTITUTION RING out of his apartment...or so he claimed. On the plus side, Barney Frank would make good use of his Congressional franking priveleges. If anybody knows about franking it is Barney Frank.]

Congressman Henry Waxman: Chairman of Government Reform;

[Nostrilla Waxman is OBSESSED with Karl Rove. Sorry, Henry, but no Merry Fitzmas for you. The White (House) Whale has eluded its congressional Ahab once again.]

Congressman Bennie Thompson: Chairman of Homeland Security Committee;

[Bennie Thompson, one of only 27 Congressman along with Kook Kucinich, who VOTED AGAINST a resolution condemning Castro's crackdown on human rights in Cuba. And you want to make him Chairman of Homeland Security. Which Homeland? Cuba?]

Congressman Tom Lantos: Chairman of International Relations Committee;

[A Strangelovian oddball who sounded like he demanded that coke-snorting Clinton White House security chief, Craig (Chickensuit) Livingstone should commit suicide. Okay, maybe not such a bad idea afterall.]

Congressman John Conyers: Chairman of Judiciary Committee;

[Conyers is so anxious to IMPEACH BUSH that he is already planning the impeachment hearings. Of course, this completely pulls the rug from under phony Democrat claims that a victory for them in the House doesn't mean impeachment hearings would proceed.]

Congresswoman Louise Slaughter: Chairwoman of Rules Committee;

[Louise Slaughter, so far to the Left that she has even BLOGGED on the Loony Left Daily Kos. Slaughter is best known for her HUSH RUSH bill to place limits on EVIL rightwing talk show hosts.]

Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez: Chairwoman of Small Business Committee;

[Nydia Velazquez who spoke just a few days ago at a RALLY supporting illegal aliens.]

Congressman Lane Evans: Chairman of Veterans Affairs Committee;

[Better do some BETTER research, Pitt. Lane Evans just ANNOUNCED that he is RETIRING this year, thus making it more likely that his seat will be picked up by an EVIL Republican.]

Congressman Charles Rangel: Chairman of Ways and Means Committee.

[Charles Rangel. A real piece of work. He introduced a bill into congress to reinstitute the draft and then voted AGAINST his own bill. I think the term for that antic is "Playing Political Games."]

The following Progressive Caucus members would become Subcommittee Chairs:

Appropriations Subcommittees: Congresswomen Rosa DeLauro and Marcy Kaptur, Congressmen John Olver, Jose Serrano, and Ed Pastor;

[Sorry, I just could't read past that IMAGE of Rosa DeLauro.]

Armed Services Subcommittee: Congressman Neil Abercrombie;

[Abercrombie (where's Fitch?) voted for millions to fund the HAMAS terrorist organization. So what Armed Services would Abercrombie be overseeing? Hamas? Al-Qaeda?]

Education and Workforce Subcommittees: Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey and Congressman Dennis Kucinich;

[Just what we need. The EVIL ELF in charge of a subcommittee. And speaking of the Evil Elf, Pitt, did you ever APOLOGIZE to Kook Kucinich for BETRAYING him while acting as his Press Secretary while secretly working for the Kerry campaign?]

Energy and Commerce Subcommittees: Congressman Ed Markey and Congresswomen Jan Schakowsky and Hilda Solis;

Financial Services Subcommittee: Congresswoman Maxine Waters andCongressman Luis Gutierrez;

[Maybe Maxine Waters should team up with Dr. Buddy Rydell since she is in constant need of an Anger Management Program.]

Government Reform Subcommittees: Congresswoman Diane Watson and Congressmen Dennis Kucinich, Elijah Cummings, Danny Davis of Illinois, and William Clay;

[There is that name again: Kook Kucinich.]

International Relations Subcommittee: Congressman Donald Payne;

[Donald Payne. One of 21 co-sponsors of the House impeachment resolution. Of course, the Democrats keep telling us (officially) that impeachment isn't part of their agenda.]

Judiciary Subcommittees: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee and Congressmen Jerry Nadler and Melvin Watt;

[Has Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee figured out yet that the Martian Rover will be unable to find the flag that the astronauts planted on the Red Planet? Maybe Nadler ate that flag.]

Interior Subcommittees: Congressmen Raul Grijalva and Tom Udall and Congresswoman Donna Christensen;

Rules Subcommittees: Congressman Jim McGovern;

Small Business Subcommittees: Congresswomen Madeleine Bordallo;

[Madeleine Bordallo is the "representative" from Guam. I put "representative" in quotes since Guam isn't a state and isn't entitled to representation in Congress. Bordallo can't even vote but they put her and other such faux representatives in Congress as a Feel Good gesture. And how does a non-voter rate chairmanship of a House Subcommittee?]

Transportation and Infrastructure: DeFazio, Filner, Holmes-Norton, and C. Brown;

Ways and Means Subcommittees: Congressmen Pete Stark, Jim McDermott, and John Lewis of Georgia.

[Congratulations! You hit the TRIFECTA, Pitt, with that group of clowns. First on the Trifecta list is (Fortney) Pete Stark whose main claim to fame is that he is an ARROGANT SHMUCK.
Then we have Jim McDermott who was recently ordered by a court to pay Rep. John Boehner $700,000 for ILLEGALLY turning over a taped cell phone conversation of the Ohio Congressman to reporters.
And to finish off the list we have John Lewis who is best remembered for comparing the GOP to Nazis after they won the 1994 Congressional election when he screamed hysterically: "They're coming for the children! They're coming for the poor! They're coming for the sick, the elderly and the disabled!"]

...so...did'ja hear DeLay's gonna quit?

[...so...did'ja hear McKinney's gonna stay?]

DUmmie FUnnies 03-04-06 (Michelle Malkin's Work Ethic)

This is a bit off topic from the usual DUmmie FUnnies material but I note that Michell Malkin posted a blog entry called MY WORK ETHIC in which she informs us about her Workaholic habits in doing her blog. DAMN HER!!! Normally I do my blog in the morning and figure it is time to laze off for most of the rest of the day even though I have been procrastinating for weeks putting the final touches together on my upcoming DUmmie FUnnies audio podcast. I was all set to kick back and relax after an afternoon nap but now am COMPELLED by her example to WORK on finishing up my Podcast.

BTW, does anybody out there know how to combat afternoon fatigue? Lately I've gotten into the habit of taking siestas and then still feel worn out the rest of the day. I'm starting to think people, by nature, are designed to sleep TWICE in a 24-hour period.

Well, enough for the procrastinating. Back to work on the Podcast. By this time Michelle Malkin could have probably multi-tasked a Podcast into her busy schedule.

DUmmie FUnnies 04-04-06 ("Who Stands with U.S. Congress Woman Cynthia McKinney - an American Hero")

There is a really funny scene in the movie, High Anxiety. Mel Brooks, as the character of Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke, has to go through an airport security checkpoint without having his bag inspected. He explains his plan to his partner, Victoria Brisbane, played by Madeline Kahn:

"Victoria, if we do it just the way we rehearsed it, it will work. Remember, we're not sneaking by. We have to be loud and annoying. If you're loud and annoying,psychologically, people don't notice you. Come on. We can do it. Loud and annoying."

At the security check in point, Dr. Thorndyke makes an absolute pain in the ass of himself in a loud voice and then walks through the metal detector which sets off a loud electronic beep.

"Is this a game show? What did I win, a Pinto?"

The security guard then tells Dr. Thorndyke that he has to be searched. Thorndyke asks why he has to be searched and the guard replies, "You beeped."

"I beeped! Take me away. Take me back to Russia. Put me in irons. I beeped! The mad beeper is loose. Take away the beeper. Put me away."

At this point the security guard doesn't want to deal with the incredibly annoying Thorndyke and tells him, "It's all right. Please, just go."

This was a scene from a movie played for comedic effect but a very similar scene played out in the U.S. Capitol Building recently when Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney tried to breeze by a security checkpoint without having to show any I.D.. When asked to stop and properly identify herself, McKinney acted even more annoyingly than Dr. Richard Thorndyke by slamming her cellphone into a Capitol policeman's chest. And this was no isolated incident. McKinney has been making it a habit to try whizzing by the security checkpoint without displaying her ID like EVERY OTHER member of Congress has to do. McKinney held a press conference and, as expected, played the Race Card. According to McKinney, acting like a maniac at the security point wasn't her fault. No, she was a victim of racism. Of course, few bought into that line. When even her liberal hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution runs an editorial titled, McKinney's arrogance crosses line, you know that no RATIONAL person is going to buy into McKinney's claim of victimhood. Note the caveat: RATIONAL. Because it turns out that McKinney is now a big hero in DUmmieland as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Who Stands with U.S. Congress Woman Cynthia McKinney - an American Hero?" So let us now observe the DUmmies praising their new hero in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, preferring the antics of Dr. Richard Thorndyke who was at least FUnnie, is in the [brackets]:

Poll question: Who Stands with U.S. Congress Woman Cynthia McKinney - an American Hero?

[Only DUmmies and the Usual Suspects.]

she won't sit down, and she won't shut up. unlike so many other 'fraidy cat democrats.

[YEAH! Other democrats should also arrogantly try to elbow their way past the Capitol security checkpoint without showing their ID.]

We need many more Cynthia McKinney's in Congress.

[In order to ensure massive DUmmiecrat defeats every election year.]

Send her some money! She is being swift boated!

[Cynthia McKinney is just $10 away from being swift boated. Send money NOW!!!]

Will Do . She called chimps bluff on 9-11. Enough for me to support her.

[Is McKinney LIHOP or MIHOP?]

Let's send this thread to her when done....

[And don't forget to send her the DUmmie FUnnies edition of this thread as well!

I like her hairdo!!

[Rats Nest Special by Jose Ebert.]

If this was a white rapeblican the cops would not have said a damn thing.

[If it was a white "rapeblican," he would have ALREADY been crucified.]

McKinney rocks - it is her detractors that are the embarrassment!

[Then why is even Nancy Pelosi afraid to appear in public with the TOXIC McKinney?]

It does seem like she could conduct herself with more decorum sometimes, however.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Sorry, I'm not going to be concerned with "curtsies" when our
ENTIRE Democratic Republic is being dismantled into a POLICE STATE. You can bow and curtsy as they come to take you away for no valid reason. We need fire brands like McKinney! She may not have decorum that Babs or Laura has, but she is one beautiful woman and I'm proud that she's a congresswoman. God Bless Her! Remember Helen Thomas is considered "rude" to the right wingers too? When a person stands up to speak truth to power, they are always attacked as such. It's bogus, pure and simple. McKinney has all the Decorum that the Right Wing deserves given the constant harassment and smear campaigns they have launched against her. Bless her courage.

[When a Leftwinger speaks "truth to power" that absolves them from having to obey the laws.]

She is one of our best! She is up there with Conyers and Feingold and Boxer. an important VOICE!

[Kucinich is deeply saddened that you didn't lump him with the rest of the kooks.]

She is being Harrassed because she Exposes MIHOP

[WHEW! For a while there I thought McKinney might be a lousy LIHOP sellout.]

1). She is hurting a policeman's career unnecessarily; he's just a common worker like everyone else (and he could easily be a Democrat).

2). She is making EVERYONE less safe at the Capitol because ALL the policemen will now be more reluctant to stop people and card them.

I appreciate her political stand and wanting to throw a wrench into things, but this might be causing more harm than good.

[Could you please send me a couple of tickets to your impending TOMBSTONING Ceremony?]

2 policemen were killed last year. He SHOULD have stopped her if she would not answer his voice commands. She does not deserve special treatment.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I stand with Cynthia, because she stands for me! Ms. McKinney has shown herself to be a person of character and honor. The officer is unknown to me... his story has changed. Cynthia is known to be a wise and courageous TELLER OF TRUTH and SEEKER OF TRUTH for many years, and a patriot. I take Ms. McKinney at her word, as she has an established reputation for truth.

[Enjoying your Kool-Aid?]

Cynthia McKinney should get the next batch of roses
If there ever is another drive to send roses to someone, Cynthia McKinney gets my vote as the next recipient.

[Send her the Helen Thomas wilted roses.]

I'm there with you ... just tell me where to send the money?

[You're just $10 away from sending wilted roses to Cynthia McKinney.]

I, for one, cannot support McKinney solely because she's a Democrat, which seems to be what's happening here. The Capitol Police, which I believe is an arm of the Secret Service, aren't a bunch of ignorant yahoos. The hairdo DOES make a difference. I might not have recognized her and I'm a political junkie. McKinney is making a HUGE deal over a TINY incident. Won't it be embarrassing if video shows the cop stopping white people before McKinney? It's almost a self-fulfilling prophecy for the Democrats. At the end of the tunnel you can see a bright light where a majority could be elected in Congress and BOOM - they start doing stupid things and the voting public says "Well, maybe not." Of course there is racism in the world and I'm sure there's racism in Washington, but for Pete's sake EVERYTHING that happens isn't because of race. God help the drive-up window guy at McDonald's if he forgets her ketchup.

[SHHH! Please don't discourage the DUmmies from acting like idiots. Cynthia McKinney single-handedly threw the Democrats phony "security" plan off the front pages last week.]

she has stood up to the bush crime family on many occasions
and is on record speaking truth2power.

["Speaking Truth to Power." It is now the FAVORITE DUmmie Buzz Phrase.]

I tend to think she is a grandstander who is playing to her base.

[A lot of base DUmmies.]

America needs people like her. If only the rest of our politicians would stand up for the truth like she does. I think everyone knows 9/11 was covered up and she has the guts to say so.

[I nominate Cynthia McKinney to be the DUmmeland Congresswoman At Large.]

DUmmie FUnnies 04-03-06 (Another DUmmie "Conversion" Story)

It really sucks to be a DUmmie. Year after year of enduring the EVIL Bush Regime and NOTHING goes their way. Every election year since 2000 racks up bigger and bigger losses for the DUmmiecrats and YET they still hold out hope in the form of their many "conversion" stories. These "conversion" stories take the form of apocrypal anecdotes about a "rightwing" friend or relative who sees the light and becomes a DUmmiecrat. Usually these stories of extremely dubious veracity follow a similar form such as "My Repuke uncle has seen the light and now thinks that Bush is scum of the earth..." With all these "conversions" posted in DUmmieland, you would think there has been some massive electoral shift in the direction of the DUmmiecrats but in reality their folks have been losing more and more at the polls. However, these "conversion" stories do serve the effect of making the DUmmies BEEEEELEEEEVE that things are breaking their way. And then when they lose at the ballot box their next move is to scream ELECTION FRAUD! This DUmmie THREAD titled, "How sweet it is.... another die-hard conservative abandons Bush," has as little relation to reality as the MANY other DUmmie conversion threads. The SOLE purpose of this and other similar threads is to make the DUmmies feel that electoral momentum is swinging their way. Such self-reinforcing DUmmie conversion threads are much like the Ouija Polls leading into elections such as the Ouija Polls taken just prior to the 1994 Congressional elections that assured the liberals that the election is breaking in favor of the Democrats due to the fact that the Republicans peaked too early. So let us now watch the DUmmies make Feel-Good with another conversion thread in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that a right-winger at a truck stop outside Kalamazoo grumbled slightly when he saw Bush's name in a newsaper, is in the [brackets]:

How sweet it is.... another die-hard conservative abandons Bush.

[Oooooooh! I'm soooooo impressed. I well remember the massive conversions to DUmmie GroupThink just prior to the 2002 and 2004 elections.]

Long story, but through no fault of her own, my mom ended-up making friends with this super-wealthy American family who are related to the Bushes.

[This is the part of the conversion story known as the set-up to establish the fact that the DUmmie has some personal connection to the convertees. Continue...]

These people are life-long Republicans, from a long line of conservatives who can trace their ancestry to the Mayflower.

[And this part of the anecdote is the section knows as "establishing the bonafides" in which we are assured that the convertee in question is indeed a true blue Republican. Continue...

The last generation's patriarch was already insanely rich, but managed to become even more wealthy by being one of the few New York State bankers to survive the Great Depression, and finance other ventures. The result is a family fortune which is in the eight, maybe nine, figure region.

[Or...or maybe even in the 10 figure Warren Buffet region. Continue...]

Anyway... my mom was in touch with her old friends, and one of their grandsons is getting married this summer. As he's Bab's grand-nephew, the wedding is being held at the White House.

[A White House wedding is being held for a grand-nephew of Bush's mother? This will be followed by another White House wedding for the son of the second cousin of Bush's uncle. Continue...]

Which, apparently, doesn't sit well with the current family patriarch. Having been a fanatical Nixon, Reagan and Bush I supporter/fundraiser, as well as a Bush/Cheney voter (both times) you'd think he'd be excited about a big wingding at the WH on the taxpayers' dime. Imagine, if you will, a 78 year old widower resembling an LLBean catalogue model, with a few more age-spots and hairs on his nose. New England accent, Mr. Howell's affectations, etc, etc, etc. Are you imaginging a blue cable-knit sweater hanging over his shoulders, and a pair of leather Top-Siders? Bingo. That's what this chap, this life-long, idle-rich, waspy blue-blood is like. Pretty much the poster boy for elitist, old-monied, ivy-league US Conservative interests.

[Description of a type of person who long ago ceased to exist. Nowadays a rich Waspy New Englander is likely to be a loony DUmmiecrat. However, the DUmmies still think this obsolete stereotype of a typical Republican still exists. Continue...]

But, no. He loathes Bush II.

[HALLELUJAH!!! He has SEEEEEEEEEEN the light!!!]

When my mom asked him to elaborate, he apparently went-off on a huge tirade about how he thinks that GWB is certifiably insane, how he allows critical policy issues to be decided by his (and I quote) "invisible playmates in the sky", how he's a complete moron, and how he's dangerous enough to cause WWIII and love it.

[I didn't know DUmmie benburch was a rich Waspy New England Republican.]

But he continued (I'm going to paraphrase because I wasn't there, but this is what my mom related to me in a very long email)... "Conservativism is supposed to be about encouraging the free market, and allowing the resulting increased profits to the corporate sector filter down to the public, and to the economy in general. But it's also about these corporations running as lean as possible and competing with each other for the revenue that's out there. Bush and his cronies are as far from economic conservativism as you can get; they grant sweetheard deals to their friends, who in-turn hoarde the revenue without re-investing it in a tangable way in the economy. They exclude other corporate entities from government contracts, and award them to Haliburton, Carlisle, and dozens more the public hasn't even heard of. They run the economy more like Stalin would, if he ran a 'free market' economy. There's no fair competion in Bush's America; it's all about the power elite (quoting Chomsky!!) becoming more powerful at the expense of national interests. And if it's not enough that he's sold the nation to his golfing buddies, he's breaking the law to keep regular Americans from exposing the truth. It's as if a junta has taken over DC."

[And paraphrasing Ty the Bouncer: "That long quote is WORD FOR WORD exactly what was said." But WAIT, there's MORE! (paraphrasing Ron Popeil.)]

"But for the first time in my life, I'm not voting Republican this year. I have made it a point to see who among the Republican Party is still alligned with Bush after this NSA thing, and the mess in Iraq, and those people are cut off. Not a dime from me or my family. Ever again. I've been talking to my friends, and they seem polarised on the issue, bus it seems that anyone in my social circle who isn't completely demented has become really disillusioned with Bush. And, I'll admit that many of them are disillusioned because of their own self-interest, but the bottom line is that it's commonly believed that the man is quite likely the worst President in American History! I'd rather have a Labrador Retriever as President; then you could at least count on him to bring your ducks in. And I swear to god, if he's actually at the White House for ********'s wedding, I'm going to walk right out, and take my family with me."

[LOOOONG elaborate Hate Bush rants placed in quotation marks to indicate exact WORD FOR WORD recital of what was supposedly said by the convertee. Another distinguishing mark of the many DUmmie "Conversion" threads.]

Like I said, "how sweet it is".

[KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!! And now to hear from the rest of the DUmmie Amen corner...]

Wow, wow, wow! Pigs are definitely flying! Thanks for sharing this. Brought a smile to my face.

[Wow, wow, wow! Thanks for sharing this fantastical fairy tale. Maybe there isn't a bit of truth to this conversion story but at least it makes me FEEL GOOD.]

My rich GOP lady friend won't vote GOP again.
She acknowledges she's made out like a bandit under W, but also acknowledges America's poor has been given the shaft by W. She's worrying about her own way into heaven. She's finally waking up.

[My EVIL rich GOP bank teller won't vote GOP again. She acknowledges that she has helped to exploit the poor and downtrodden but she is worried about fate of her eternal soul. She got down on her knees and asked for forgiveness by promising to vote only for DUmmiecrats from now on. HALLELUJAH! She's finally waking up.]

Excellent, one vote with a big pocket book could do
wonders in '06 and '08. This gives me hope. Though I wonder how his son and grandson feel. They seem to be more the "me, me, me" generation age that supports bush.

[Evil Rich Republicans! Grumble! Grumble! They need to SEEEEEEEE the light and undergo a DUmmie conversion.]

Yeah, well... he and his wife had six daughters, and five of those six are still rabid GOPers. They're not the relgious wingnut types, but they're the preppy blue-blood, gated-community, Volvo wagon, I've got mine so f*ck you kind of Cons. And all the daughters' kids are completely institutionalised in the Conservative system, from boarding school to prep school to Harvard/Yale and beyond. The one getting married is the oldest, and he's only 24. So they really don't know any other point of view, and I bet, (hopefully) without revealing the family identity, one of these grandkids will eventually get a GOP nomination for the Top Slot. That's how connected this family is.

[Yeah, well... It's going to be really tough to figure out the identity of this family. I mean there must be LOADS of families with a grand-nephew of "Babs" who are getting married in the White House this summer. Could you at least give us a break and provide some more clues so we could narrow it down a bit more?]

Great story! Let's hope he talks to all of his friends and they listen!

[Great story! Now tell us about Goldilocks and the Three Bears.]

Thanks for relaying that conversation! I'm going to bed feeling happy.

[Please tell us some more FEEL GOOD stories. They don't have to be true. They just need to make us FEEL GOOD.]

Thank you for sharing this. It's a viewpoint we'd never get otherwise. If the blue-blooded Mayflower elite is that disgusted with Shrub, he's really in big trouble!

[YUP! You've got the next election in the bag! (Just like the 2002 and 2004 elections.)]

What's the wedding dress look like? I mean ASSHOLE you voted for W TWICE! Sounds like someone isn't getting his slice of the pie that he's been so used to...the disgusting sick bastard!!! As he and his cronies that he's supported all his life, f*cked over the American workers and the middle class!!!
Now your telling us all this shit about Bush that we've all known from jump!!!
And that goes for your other lying, criminal, greedy, deregulation happy assholes...Nixon, Reagan & pappy Bush --- I despise ALL republicans and their sick, heartless, greedy ideology!!! Including you ASSHOLE...That's what I would say to the heartless prick!!!!!

[SNIFF! Apparently not all the DUmmies accept the convertees, whether real of fictional (mostly the latter), with open arms.]

He came to realize all this AFTER November 2, 2004...???

[GASP! You DARE to cast aspersions upon the veracity of this "conversion" story?]

I just love these Flying Pig stories!

[I just love these Flying Pig fairy tales!]

I hope "Thurston Howell" persuades his entire social class to revolt against the junta; because he's finally figured out what we at DU saw after the "selection" -- that we had a coup d'etat here, and all else has followed from that. I also hope there won't be repercussions from your having posted so extensively. We DUers obviously won't be able to figure out who he is from your post, but some connected lurker might.

[Correct! DUmmies probably won't be able to figure out who this person is from your post since it would take an incredible genius to narrow down this convertee's family to someone who is a nephew of "Bab's" that is a getting married in the White House this summer. Figuring out the identity of this family would be like finding a needle in a haystack.]
