Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

    @robertdsc: Malkin is only happy when she can be angry at someone. Fortunately for her, the Bush years featured many people who didn’t agree with her, and hence were targets of her rage. That those people usually didn’t have much if any actual power was irrelevant.

    I forget who coined the word ‘Ragegasm’ in reference to Malkin, but it really fits. She certainly seems to love her blinding rages.

    She’s gotten her loyal followers in big, big trouble. “Safe schools” laws are no joke, and they’re enforced vigorously against students. It’s borderline draconian.
    I think the response to death threats by adults is going to be intense. They actually contacted a grammar school principal and made death threats? Lordy. Schools have elaborate safety plans in place, as a response to school shootings.

    Regarding the thing at driftglass: I’m scared.

    Also:

    Malkin is truly one of the worst “human beings” to ever walk the face of the Earth. Also, her weird mix of a totally vacuous expression and thousand-yard-stare genuinely makes me worry about what is going on in her mind. She strikes as being not someone who is merely manipulating the rage of others for her own political benefit. I’m convinced she’s genuinely a loon.

    Doug, the police and superintendent have debunked the death threats story.

    Public Safety Director Walt Corter said police also investigated reports that threats were made against the school district because of the video and found that they were unsubstantiated. “We will continue to work with the school, as we do daily to ensure student safety,” Corter said.

    Big surprise. Apparently a local FOX affilliate keeps promoting the falsehood, even while their own affilliate debunks the rumor at the same time:

    Didn’t someone here name Malkin as a ‘rageoholic’ and/or ‘Our lady of rage’? Those descriptions seem apt. Further, there is a sympathetic intertoob interview out there (sorry no linkie) in which she discusses how she wishes people would view her as human. I almost felt for her as she discussed being mocked as a kid and now having to hire security due to death threats. We all go through some type of bullying and/or childhood emotional trauma. But then again, I read the stupidness that seems to ooze from her brain onto the keyboard and all of the sympathy I had goes out of the window. If I put on my amateur psychiatrist hat (which is pointy and funny like a wizard’s hat), methinks the rage is a symptom of self-hatred. Seriously. She also seems to have a BIG issue with the Obamas, specifically Michelle. Perhaps she can’t stand the fact that there is another Michelle that is beautiful, bright and…the first lady. If there were a fight between the two Michelles-ALL of my money is on Mrs. Obama. I’m jus’ sayin…

    3. Harvey Milk was shot by a Democrat-acquaintance who was angry about losing his government patronage job. This is what Nancy was crying about.

    4. Jim Jones had an almost identical message to Barack Obama, killed a Congressman, and hundreds of children. Nancy cried about this one too.

    5. Ted Kennedy drowned a girl.

    6. A black conservative was beaten up in St Louis by Liberals.

    7. A Teabagger’s finger was bitten off by Liberals.

    I am sure that Michelle Malkin receives regular death threats, but she doesn’t make a point of whining about it. Conservatives seem to be much more grounded than Liberals. I attribute this to more satisfying sex lifes. See the Glenn Beck moms on his show from yesterday. This was a pretty attractive group of ladies who had that look in their eye.

    Notice how there was a claim of a death threat, and no evidence of a credible death threat provided in the article. This is typical projection of the Left. There was probably no credible death threat. If there was a credible death threat, evidence would have been provided. See also the Birth Certificate.

    This is the tactic: Whine and play the victim.

    It’s not even a valid national political issue. It has little or nothing to do with Barack Obama, who didn’t write the song, or urge it be learned, or performed. It’s an intensely local issue that she and FOX News and the RNC decided was politically useful.
    They put that school at risk, because they saw a political opening. It’s so crazily irresponsible. I still cannot believe that a major political Party in the US is fanning these flames, and basically making a risk/benefit analysis, and hoping like hell something terrible doesn’t happen, that can be tied to them.

    @gocart mozart: I couldn’t find anythin about Anderson Cooper last night on the CNN website, but I did find this ( by Aaron Cooper):

    From Aaron Cooper

    (CNN) — The word “fed” was scrawled on the body of a census worker in Kentucky whose corpse was found nearly two weeks ago, a coroner said Friday.

    Clay County Coroner Jim Trosper told CNN that “fed” was written on the body of William E. Sparkman Jr., 51, in felt tip pen.

    He was found with a rope around his neck near a cemetery in Clay County, in southeastern Kentucky, state police said. The rope was tied to a tree, but his body was touching the ground, authorities said.

    Authorities said Thursday that asphyxiation was the preliminary cause of death, but Trosper said that it would take some time for authorities to make the final determination of the manner of death. The information will be released by the state, he said.

    FBI spokesman David Beyer said the agency was “attempting to determine whether foul play was involved, and if there was foul play involved, whether it is related to his employment as a census worker.”

    The Census Bureau said it had no information to confirm that Sparkman’s death was related to his work with the bureau.

    Census Bureau Director Bob Groves said in a written statement that Sparkman was a “shining example of the hard-working men and women the Census Bureau has in the field.”

    Malkin Confesses to Killing Ky Census Worker In a Ragegasm

    When the Queen starts mocking herself, you know the natives are trembling in fear. Whoever did this awful crime, took the time to tape his Census Worker ID to his neck. The big arrow is pointing straight at Beck, Malkontent and the whole coven of shrieking wraiths and they are out of excuses, or running out rapidly. It looks like the authorities are dribbling out information piecemeal in hopes that it will keep the furor down for what is becoming more obvious by the day. That Mr. Sparkman was murdered as a result of right wing hysteria fed by tin pot demagogues they see on their teevee sets.

    And if anyone watched O’donnell filling in for Olberman last night, they saw a man interviewed who lived nearby where Sparkman was found, hearing screams coming from woods, and called state police who apparently didn’t respond.

    @r€nato: John C recently asked about books on the Spanish Civil War, and I recommended “The Spanish Civil War — A Very Short Introduction”. The first chapter of the book describes the tensions of class, religion, economic disparity, military privilege, and crumbling empire that led to the coup that started it all. If you replace “military” with “military-industrial-political”, the parallels with what’s going on in the US now are striking, and more than a little worrisome.

    On September 25th, 2009 at 12:05 pm, Freddy said:

    Watching what happens around national parks around the country it is most likely that this census worker was killed by drug growers.

    A possibly scrawled ‘fed’ is the type of tactic used by drug gangs from mexico where the ’statement killing’ is used to intimidate.

    So if I were to go way out on a limb, I would suggest this census worker was simply seen as a ‘federale’ by an illegal alien drug gang.

    Maybe Beck can call up a rival’s wife who recently had a miscarriage and make fun of her. Again.

    I’m still wondering why Beck hasn’t addressed the accusation that he raped and murdered a girl in the early 90s. What is he trying to hide?

    Come to a Tea Party. Relish in the celebration of Faith and Reason. Check out the women. Question with boldness Faith in the absence of Reason. Blind Faith is not a good thing.

    Nuclear power is most definitely generated through friction. This has been proven through Reason at length, and has already gotten me banished from one discussion group. That Phil guy, who also calls himself Monkey Butler, is a twit.

    “He preached a ‘social gospel’ of human freedom, equality, and love, which required helping the least and the lowliest of society’s members. Later on, however, this gospel became explicitly soc_iali_stic, or communistic in Jones’ own view, and the hypocrisy of white Christianity was ridiculed while ‘apostolic soc_ial_ism’ was preached.”
    It was an interracial congregation—almost unheard of in Indiana at the time.

    And from this we conclude that a Democratic politics of equality, helping unprivileged members of society, inter-racialism(!), and disdain for Christian hypocrisy lead to mass poisoning. QED.

    Every grown up knows that all people are not identical, and that there is a diversity of characters, and abilities. This is what James Madison spoke of in Federalist 10, when he introduced the concept of ‘Faction’.

    And this is what Jesus spoke of when he said “But when you give a banquet invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.”

    Friction creates heat because molecules become more excited, they move more energetically, when they bang up against one another.

    Nuclear power is generated at the sub-molecular level. Not through friction, which, again, only occurs at the molecular level.

    In the interests of thread discipline, this will be my last response. At the sub-molecular level, it all comes down to binding energy per nucleon per nucleon, a physical condition that is based on the size of the molecule. When all molecules get to a certain weight, somewhere around 100 atomic mass units, the binding energy of the universe is all gone and I used to think that we would all be dead, but I had not considered gravity, which will be around forever as far as I can figure, so things will probably be OK.

    But anyway, the goal is to increase the binding energy per nucleon per nucleon, making the molecule tighter. This is done by fission for heavy molecules, or fusion for light molecules, think thermo nuclear bomb, or the ‘super’. This binding energy is released at the sub-atomic level and is converted to kinetic energy in the fission product particles.

    This kinetic energy is dissipated when the fission product particles interact with other mass. At this point, be behold friction. Friction is the mechanism by which the binding energy, which has been converted to kinetic energy, is finally converted to heat. This is the heat by which you boil water, and spin turbines, and create electricity.

It was actually a great look at the wingnut psyche in that regard: They pride themselves on “hitting the competition hard” and all that, but even the slightest of love taps makes them burst into tears and wail about how it’s so unfair that they’re victims of “nasty liberals.”

    Since Glenn Beck is (1) totally batshit insane, and (2) a Mormon, it’s entirely possible that he’ll eventually establish one of those so-called “LDS Fundamentalist” sects in the desert someplace. You know, the ones where TV ownership is banned and the clown in charge gets to spend quality time with the wives of all his neighbors. A good book on the subject is Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer. In the meantime, BOB has a winner on his hands with the Obama/Jim Jones comparison.

    More on the Census worker murder…

    **************************************************

    A family’s visit to a rural Kentucky cemetery led to the shocking discovery of a part-time census worker’s naked body hanging from a tree with the word “fed” written on his chest.

    Jerry Weaver of Fairfield, Ohio, told The Associated Press the man had been gagged and his hands and feet were bound with duct tape.

    Weaver said Friday he was certain from the gruesome scene that 51-year-old Bill Sparkman was killed deliberately.

    “He was murdered,” Weaver said. “There’s no doubt.”

    Weaver said he was in rural Clay County, Ky., for a family reunion and was visiting some family graves at the cemetery on Sept. 12 along with his wife and daughter when they saw the body.

    “The only thing he had on was a pair of socks,” Weaver said. “And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something.”

    Two people briefed on the investigation said various details of Weaver’s account matched the details of the crime scene, though both people said they were not informed who found the body. The two spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

    Authorities have said a preliminary cause of death was asphyxiation, pending a full medical examination. According to a Kentucky State Police statement, the body was hanging from a tree with a rope around the neck, yet it was in contact with the ground.

    “And they even had duct tape around his neck,” Weaver said. “And they had like his identification tag on his neck. They had it duct-taped to the side of his neck, on the right side, almost on his right shoulder.”…..

    ….Weaver, who works for a family topsoil business in Fairfield, said the body was about 50 yards from a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. He said Sparkman’s clothes were in the bed of the truck.

    “His tailgate was down,” Weaver said. “I thought he could have been killed somewhere else and brought there and hanged up for display, or they actually could have killed him right there. It was a bad, bad scene.

    “It took me three or four good nights to sleep. My 20-year-old daughter ended up sleeping in the floor in our bedroom,” he said.

    Yeah, a friend on a non-political list said a tragically right-wing relative forwarded one of those spam-mails complaining that North Korea and Iran were totally intransigent about the purity of their borders so why couldn’t us Americans get serious, huh ! ? ! ! ! Because nothing says “We love freedom, and democracy” like imitating the tactics of Cold-War Commies and the remaining Axis of Evil…

    @calipygian: I’m not hopeful about this. Think fragmentation bombs. A wingnut explosion might end up with dozens of differing wingnut groups, and the single beast becomes a cloud of Flying Monkeys of Oz.

    Actually Charles isn’t anti-Islam ….he is and has always been anti-fascist.
    He said Geert Wilders is a fascist for wanting to ban the Qur’an.
    And also anti-stupid….that is what is really driving him away from the wingnuts…teh Stupid.
    He refused to participate in either abortion idiocy or schiavo idiocy.
    People were banned for persisting in talking about either, and banned for spouting creationist idiocy.
    He is still a Zionist though…until he realizes that Zionism and the settlements are really hurting Israel, he will stay that way.

    I remember 2001-2007 and Chasmo said all sorts of things that weren’t “anti-fascist” but plainly crazed, Islamophobic, bullshit. I welcome the new incarnation that awoke once he realized he started attracting the attention of serious, self-identified, fascists in Europe but I’m not stupid and I have a memory.

    Ed, dude, I was there.
    I started blog-life as a lizardette.
    Charles banned me for attacking Roobart Sbunsar at least twice.
    Then, like Cole, I got the luck.
    Seeing Bush lie about hESCR (something I know a little about) on national television did me in.
    My excuse was that I was raised republican, guns, dogs and ponies….my parents belong to 3 country clubs and one hunt club.
    Charles was refusing the pro-life lunatics a platform before I got there.
    I think it is a gradual process.

    I am moritfied when I think about how I freely associated with retards and baddies.

    I figure that I’ll bait the traps with a copy of Atlas Shrugged or maybe a Bible and some flag pins [. . .]

    I have a duck call that when you blow it makes a sound like a wounded Patrick Swayze yelling, “Wolverines!” Works like a charm.

    Man, I hate that so much of my top-shelf material gets deployed long after a thread has died.

    Fuckin’ A. Let’s get together and go hunting. I’ll bring beer if you bring munchies. What do you like to drink?

    @Wile E. Quixote:

    I’m in! For hunting wingnuts, I think some cheap bourbon (does Scoresby make one?) and some commie Tsingtao beer for chasers would be good.

    What do you like to eat? I make some killer atomic buffalo (left) wings.

    Damn! And I used to trust my butcher like a brother.

    Okay, what about salted Beck beef jerky and chocolate Malkin malted balls?

    Sorry, seem to be having trouble concentrating.

    And is it true what ThatLeftTurnInABQ said about catch and release? ‘Cause I’m not down with that. I want a 12-point trophy for the wall in the den.
