The RW said they were lying, putting America in danger, etc. but now the great and wonderful IAEA says Iran is getting nukes and they are so right and Obama is putting the country in danger, etc., ad nauseum.

Gee, I don't get it!

Dead meat.

about Libya? The guy should have been tried, convicted and imprisoned by now. This is the first time I've seen him on TV talking about current events in 2 or 3 years.

For you youngsters, Abbie and Rubin refer to Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. Google 'em. And by now it's 95 years of pollution. The song was recorded 40 years before BP's Gulf disaster and long before much more. My favorite line is "No reason or cause that you may have perfectly sound The blind looker’s gonna' try and cut it down." Sound familiar?

Nothing game changing apparently has been leaked. If there are some really REALLY dark secrets out there, and I'm sure there are, they're not in these docs. They apparently don't change anything but make some faces red.

Read the article before commenting, please.

And we said Obama wasnt experienced enough. I'm afraid that's true. LBJ would gotten 5 yrs of unemployment benefits and permanent middle class tax cuts.

There's 699 days until the election. Tick, tick, tick...

we walked into this furniture store that's closing and having a big sale. The place was closing because their bank line of credit funding abruptly and completely stopped. Everyone is getting laid off in the chain. This white guy that works there and who was probably in his late 60's walks up and we expressed regret about their situation and especially his as the conversation turned to his age and getting laid off. He then says we've got to get "that guy" out of the WH and a couple of other comments that blamed Obama for his plight. He mentioned something about people not paying their mortgages and a couple of other slights. WRONG THING TO SAY TO THE WRONG PEOPLE! My wife was civil enough to just walk off because she didn't want to hear it. I couldn't let that go.

Speaking of people not paying mortgages, I asked the guy if he remembered the phrase "ownership society" and who used it. I asked him if he ever heard of NINJA loans (No income, No job, No assets). He said he did. I told him they were legal because Republicans made them legal. I told him that now that Democrats are fixing the abuses by banks and business banks have admitted they are not lending, and businesses are not hiring because they do not want things to improve so they can get Obama. Banks and businesses are intentionally hoarding their money. Republicans block everything because they don't want things to get better so now he's getting laid off. I told him this entire thing started long before Obama was even a US Senator and got rolling when Republicans had control of the WH, Congress and the SCOTUS. I told him that the whole teabagger movement is nothing but a tool for big banks, Wall Street and big corporations to block or undo everything Democrats were trying to fix so they can go back to what they were doing before. I told him the free market doesn't regulate itself. That's not only a fallacy, it's ideological propaganda and that everyone that voted for Republicans this year just gave the keys back to the party that drove the truck into the ditch. I told him the only thing free markets do is promote unfettered greed. I told him that it was also much easier to blame "that black guy" for everything and that none of this started Jan 20, 2009 that in fact, it was at it's peak then. I reminded him of 750K people laid off in January 2009 alone. I told him the whole country, and actually the whole civilized world owed Obama a thank you for saving capitalism and the world economy from complete collapse. I told him a few other choice things over the course of 10 minutes of laying into him. I told him I couldn't believe people were so stupid as to vote Republicans back in.

When I was finally through with him he actually said, "You're right." which is what I wanted to hear him say.

I HATE it when, just because we're white, other white teabaggers automatically assume we hate Obama too. Wrong thing for this guy to say to us. You might say I should have told the manager. But there's no reason to. He's putting himself out of a job anyway because he supports Republicans. But the manager of the place is a good family friend and a liberal. So I might tell him after the stores close and they're laid off. But I suspect everyone knows he's a winger anyway.

Don't f**k with me!

For the going on 10 years I've been here on DU, and for many years before that, I've often been angry at just how hypocritical the right wing can be. We've all asked, "How can they say that if they believe < fill in the blank >." That blank can be filled in with many different things such as "they believe the US was founded as a Christian country" in response to posts like I found at FR absolutely excusing Christine O'Donnell's "dabbling in witchcraft":



And there's even more things to ask in that post.

That was the last straw for me. I have finally decided there are no rules. There are no guidelines for these people to abide by. They make it up as they go along. Antonin Scalia says the 14th amendment wasn't written to ban sex bias. But as whoneedstickets points out in that thread neither does the constitution give corporations the same rights as persons. But to them, that's OK too. There are no rules. There is no "originalist" reading of the constitution.

And there are many more examples of this type thing. To wit, I no longer am going to try to understand their logic because there is none. They have no logic. BECAUSE, the only logic is to do and say anything and everything necessary to enrich the corporations and to tighten back their grips that we were just starting to pry apart. It's all about the rich and making money. If you want logic, that's what it's all about. And the rich and the corporations have their tool fools, both paid and otherwise (such as the above ass at FR) that will make up anything they need to whenever it's convenient. They have no rules.

No one plays the victim better than Republics and the RW. Mention anything about white people and they are so offended. Mention anything about Christianity and they say they're persecuted. This is nothing short of passive aggressive which is intended to mess with you. Here's how to handle it:

"know you're not going to listen to me.

I'm going to say it anyway, because as a concerned citizen of The United States of America, I must.

You are making a grave, perhaps nation-ending mistake."

Pretty much.
Pelosi, 0bama and Reid should remember what happened to Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife in Romania, when he continued to ignore the will of of the people.

********This one includes Nicolae Ceausescu on the cover of Newsweek and a picture after he was executed during the revolution******

***** “She thinks there will be no consequences..... She is betting her very life” ******

First thing that came to my mind was the picture of Mussolini and his babe hanging by their heels...

Then I transposed (in my mind) Reid and pelosi’s heads into the picture

Then I wondered who I would have to contact to get the Beer Concession for that little gathering.

These are very violent and sick people.

I find myself seething with frustration at two of the people I admire most in the realm of progressive issues and politics: Michael Moore and Dennis Kucinich. Watching Countdown on MSNBC last night brought it all to a head. I listened to President Obama tell the story of Natoma Canfield, a woman priced out of the health insurance market only to be diagnosed with leukemia.

Then I listened to Ms. Canfield herself, speaking from her hospital bed after a day of treatments, answering Lawrence O'Donnell's question about what she would tell her Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, who says he'll vote against this legislation because it doesn't go far enough.

Natoma Canfield said simply this:

"Well, it just seems to me that everything needs a start"

And with that, a self-employed house cleaner and cancer patient in Ohio spoke more eloquently and with more wisdom than either Michael Moore or Dennis Kucinich ever have on this issue.

First, if you haven't, watch this segment of President Obama yesterday, telling Natoma Canfield's story. It starts at about 2:05.

Check out the simulation shown here. Amazing.

From NOAA:

I appreciate it.

Yeah, I know, I started my own thread. Well I hope whoever gave the heart sees it before it gets pulled/combined!

1) Right wing nut but mega-money organizations are buying it up (like Newsmax giving it away for $5)

2) Everyone else that wants to see just how friggin' stupid this woman really is. It's a morbid curiosity. Kinda like the town folks who went to see the wreck of the Old 97



I like this pic so much I thought I'd make an OP out of it. It describes Sarah Palin perfectly.

Can you believe Fox is actually invoking Nixon's treatment of Hunter S Thompson as a reporter? Have they watched "Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas"? That reporter they're invoking?

And, apparently they never read Hunter S Thompson's article in The Atlantic when Nixon died:



God Bless Hunter S Thompson. Nixon's hatred did have a way of making his enemies seem honorable, even to Fox News.
