US Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who really needs to suck it up and switch to the Republicans, went on the Sunday tee-vee hustings to peddle the current FOX News and GOP line o’ garbage that United States Armed Forces are up to their nostrils in Muslim Manchurian Officer Candidates and this is, of course, all the fault of President Barack Obama.
So accordingly, Droopy hit FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace (who has all the objectivity of a head waiter) and announced he’s gonna hold some hearings on the Fort Hood shootings and characterized them as “the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11.”
WALLACE: I’m going to pursue that in a second. But any evidence so far that what you or your staff have heard in briefings that he — because we know he was on some radical Islamic Web sites…
LIEBERMAN: Right, right.
WALLACE: … that he was exchanging communications either in this country or overseas with other Islamic radicals?
LIEBERMAN: Yeah. Nothing I can confirm at this point. I think it’s very important to let the Army and the FBI go forward with this investigation before we reach any conclusions.
But what we do know on the record from third parties reporting over the last two or three years — that he made a series of statements justifying suicide bombing, comparing it to the bravery of an American soldier who would throw himself on a grenade to protect his colleagues, that he said that — well, he shouted out, according to bystanders at that — while killing the other day at Fort Hood, the words Allah Akbar, an expression of faith in Islam which the Islamist extremists have corrupted.
And the fact that he did that at the moment of these murders — if that’s confirmed, of course — raises genuine concerns that this was a terrorist act.
What’s next, Joe? The same extra-constitutional measures like were employed against Japanese-Americans in WWII?
One could be forgiven for thinking that as a Jew, Lieberman would know better than to employ such specious assertions and racist reasoning like this, but then fascists always seem to have their collaborators.
These folks like Lieberman were called “patriots” by the previous White House Administration and anybody else who used September 11, 2001 as an excuse to engage in anti Arab histrionics.
When I watched the Fort Hood tragedy information filter out in real time, I knew there would be serious implications for members of the US military who happen to be Muslim and are already under stress from bias by their colleagues already.
Check out the latest today from Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), ideological heir to the notorious Jesse Helms’ legacy of outlandish claims and moral hypocrisy:
Yeesh…. AND she gets to pull this stunt on the floor of the US House of Representatives.
… my internet machine has been in the custody of the Apple Store “Genius Bar” staff. As an aside, I find it annoying that the only thing said “genius” could tell me was that my extended coverage plan had run out and he had “to order the parts”.
Not unlike any trip to the car dealership, I thought. I wonder if checkout will be as much fun as those experiences.
Senior class members of The Military College of South Carolina, aka The Citadel, were given their class rings this past weekend. If you live in Charleston, SC, then you know that the school’s Parents’ Weekend and Ring Ceremony always means trouble because it ends up becoming a three-day binge of public drunkeness, DUI arrests, vandalism and various forms of assault and battery charges against the community at large.
I live in the neighborhood surrounding the school and it’s always a crap shoot watching traffic as there’s quite a few cadets behind the wheels of cars acting as if they’re qualifying for the Darlington 500.
Note that the camera operator and his wingman urge the City of Charleston Police Department officers to go easy on their out-of-control classmates because “they just got their rings”.
It never fails to amaze me how these dopes think they’re entitled to special treatment because of their college choice…and it’s a state school for pete’s sake!
Check the text the budding cinematographer, batterymarine, posted along with his video:
CPD came to the Citadel and fucked with a bunch of drunk seniors who just got their rings cause they had nothing better to do, like fight crime in the ghetto! LIke there are guys in Charleston who have fully automatic weapons and they’re concerned with us rioting because we just got our rings and rebel agains the oppressive administration. Charlestons [sic] finest at work ladies and gentlemen!!
Smell that? Why it’s the aroma of entitlement, misogyny, racism and garden variety pomposity. My personal favorite justification of batterymarine is how this is all Barack Obama’s fault.
Thursday in the US Congress Science and Technology Committee my new boyfriend Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) went after some conservative numbskulls who are clogging up the legislative process by going after ACORN:
And this time she has help… not that she needs it, of course!
My favorite engineer on the Crazy Train, US Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is up to her usual shenanigans- this time clearly violating Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment of “Thou shalt not attack a fellow Republican.”
I guess she figures ol’ Ronnie has been dead long enough, so listen up to this load of garbage Bachmann slung at former GOP US Senators Bob Dole and Bill Frist for their recent opinions that something has to be done on healthcare while Bachmann appeared on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Wednesday:
In case you missed it amidst all the shreiking and carping from these two dimwitted broads:
INGRAHAM: Of course. God bless Bob Dole he just came on our show, I have great respect for the man. And also for Frist. But Frist presided over a pretty disastrous situation in the Senate.
BACHMANN: They lost.
INGRAHAM: They lost. And Bob Dole lost how many times on a national level? I guess I’ve lost count. [...] That Republican ideology and that Republican outlook has been a losing outlook. That’s why President Obama wants more of us to be like them.
BACHMANN: Because we want a pro-freedom agenda. And he’s trying to throw people around who he believes will increase a non-pro-freedom agenda.
Snort! “… a non-pro-freedom agenda…”? What kind of crystal are they handing out for Halloween in the farm fields outside Minneapolis?
Both of these fishwives are law school graduates… which in and of itself tells yours truly quite a bit.
Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the rise in bankruptcies filed by Americans due to catastrophic medical expenses. There were the hard-luck cases testifying to their financial extremis and there was also Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth.
Furchtgott-Roth is a right-wing hack who regularly advocates that moving towards a European-style system of universal health care would increase bankruptcies in America.
And then US Senator Al Franken (D-MN) asked her a question and things became really entertaining, really quickly:
FRANKEN: I think we disagree on whether health care reform, the health care reform that we’re talking about in Congress now should pass. You should that the way we’re going will increase bankruptcies. I want to ask you, how many medical bankruptcies because of medical crises were there last year in Switzerland?
FURCHTGOTT-ROTT: I don’t have that number in front of me, but I can find out and get back to you.
FRANKEN: I can tell you how many it was. It’s zero. Do you know how many medical bankruptcies there were last year in France?
FURCHTGOTT-ROTT: I don’t have that number, but I can get back to you if I like.
FRANKEN: Yeah, the number is zero. Do you know how many were in Germany?
FURCHTGOTT-ROTT: From the trend of your questions, I’m assuming the number is zero. But I don’t know the precise number and would have to get back to you.
FRANKEN: Well, you’re very good. Very fast. The point is, I think we need to go in that direction, not the opposite direction. Thank you.
Now that he seems to have stopped giving out awards (intended to solicit donations) from his political action committees to pornographers and strip club owners, disgraced former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA) has officially signed on with the nutjob fringe of the “conservative” base and is calling for a repeal of health care reform (in case it passes).
Check out His Newtness with FOX News’ super-psycho Sean Hannity Monday night:
Dude… I hate to break it to you, but your day in the sun is not only over, but also been over for a long time now. Ain’t you got a new and younger spouse candidate in the pipeline yet or it that what this is really all about?
Never mind that 57% of Americans surveyed want something done that would be in their favor… for a change.
Last Sunday, Lindsay Graham co-wrote an editorial for The New York Times with his US Senate colleague John Kerry (D-MA) arguing for bipartisan cooperation in the US Congress on climate change legislation.
Did you hear the sound of thousands of Bibles hitting the ground in the Upstate of South Cack-a-lackey? I sure did!
And did they ever let ol’ Flimsy have it at his town hall meeting Tuesday in Greenville, SC:
Y’know, I refer to South Carolina’s senior US Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) as “Flimsy” for two reasons… one, because mi amigo Allen came up with the moniker and two, because “flimsy” best describes the specious reasoning he uses to support his positions on just about everything.
I DO NOT use the nickname because I think he’s a homosexual. Nor do I care who he sleeps with.
However, Flimsy’s “friends” and “neighbors” in the Upstate seem to think he is homosexual and don’t hesitate to throw around innuendo-laden slights, sometimes to his face, when they disagree with him.
Like this, for instance.
HALF-A-SISSY RINO CLOWN LINDSEY GRAHAM
Hilarious.
Check out what else happened at the aforementioned town hall in his hometown:
And as always, there’s the knucle-dragging angrywhitedude.com (although I’m not sure where this neanderthal lives):
Lindsey Graham is that guy! Not only is he the butt boy of Supreme Rat RINO John McCain, he has that irritating effeminate manner about him. Every time I hear him I have to believe he’s seen one up close..if you know what I mean.
And here’s AWD’s cherry on the sundae for the close:
I disagree Miss Lindsey, Americans own being American! He gladly supported leftist wacko Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court and recently said the GOP leadership needs to get behind Obama on foreign policy!! He called himself a friend of Ted Kennedy…say no more! He also bashes Rush and Glenn Beck. Just like his daddy Supreme Rat McCain, Graham is a Democrat. South Carolinians, you’re better than that…those of you who aren’t liberals. Do something about it the next that wussypants, girly-man, half-a-sissy comes asking for your vote! He is no friend of America!
Wait, wait… there’s more, don’t forget this nutjob’s clever-clever characterization of \”Democrat In Drag\”
Sigh… is this the best y’all got?
Too bad making fun of the queers never goes out of style— like calling folks “Hitler” or “Socialist” or “Marxist” without having the foggiest idea what all that means.
