Dr Laura quits radio show, plays victim card

Posted on

You know that someone has royally screwed up and is now spinning, when people on the right are going “HUH?”

First the Video:

and now the story from the NYT’s Media Decoder Blog:

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the conservative talk radio commentator under fire for repeatedly using a racial epithet, announced on Tuesday that she was ending her long-running radio show.

Dr. Schlessinger made the announcement on Tuesday night on “Larry King Live,” saying she made a decision not to renew her contract when it expires at the end of the year and suggesting that she did not want her opinions and language, however provocative, to be muzzled.

But she stressed that she was not retiring, only ending her show, and would continue to write books and appear at speaking engagements.“I want to regain my First Amendment rights,” she said. “I want to be able to say what’s on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I’m sort of done with that.”

“I’m not quitting,” she told Larry King. “I feel energized actually — stronger and freer to say the things that I believe need to be said for people in this country.”

Sounds like a “I’m a victim” speech to me….

Z on TV from the Baltimore Sun Agrees:

The end of her radio career (in January when her contract concludes) is the result of her own ugliness on-air with a caller last week who asked “Dr. Laura” about the use of racially charged language. Schlessinger used the N-word 11 repeatedly in her answer, and listening to the tape,  I was shocked by the aggression that I could hear building in Schlessinger’s voice. She was using the word as a weapon.

Some of my colleagues have used the glib phrase “she lost it” to describe Schlessinger’s comments in that exchange, but I think it was almost the opposite: I think perhaps she was letting her speech connect to some deep seated feelings she had, and that is what made her words all the more troubling to me.

Ed Morrissey, while not so personally critical, does point out the obvious:

If Schlessinger feels that getting paid to talk puts too much restriction on her broadcast content, that may well be a legitimate point, but as noted above, broadcasting is only one of several means available to her in commercializing her speech.  Besides, the First Amendment doesn’t confer the right to profit from speech, only the right to speak.  It isn’t an entitlement to publication.  It also means that people can speak out and disagree with what Schlessinger says, even if she sees that speech as an “attack” on her, her sponsors, and her affiliates.  It’s a little late in the game to suddenly get sensitive about criticism, and just a little hypocritical to cast it as an “attack” while demanding the supposed return of her First Amendment rights.

Schlessinger offered a full apology for her remarks, calling them “wrong.”  She didn’t evade responsibility for them, nor did she offer the “I’m sorry if anyone was offended” non-apology apology.  Schlessinger should have stopped there, instead of making herself into a First Amendment martyr when she has never had an issue of being “silenced” or having those rights taken from her.  Even those of us who work daily in the First Amendment space seem to need reminders that the Constitution does not give people the right to be free from criticism after their own exercise of free speech.

I have to agree with all of the above. I am going to be quite blunt and honest with you. I do not like this woman at all. Why? Well, I have to say, that I have problem with people who try an articulate family values, who come from basically broken families; further more, I have a problem with people who are not exactly honest about their personal history. The truth is, Dr. Laura has repeatedly lied about her family, her previous marriages and a host of other things. That is, until people, who were concerned that she was not telling the truth, did some investigative work on her and found out the truth. This forced her to admit that she had not been exactly telling the truth. This to me, ruins any credibility that you might have; I’m sorry, but if I am going to take advice from anyone, it  is going to be from someone, who’s actually coming from a background of ideal family values.

Lastly, there is the issue of religion. I am sorry, but Religion, to me, is not like trying on pair of socks. How any person, can sit on a radio show and give Conservative Traditional and yes, even Christian values; all the while not even being a practicing Christian or any other religion for that matter, is quite beyond me. First, Dr. Laura was a Jew, then she was not; the lady needs to pick a Religion and stick with it.

I am sorry if this sounds like I am being overly critical of Dr. Laura; I know she most likely means to do well. But I believe the she could do and be much better; if she would just be more honest and open about who she is. Plus, find a religion that she can handle and stick with it.

Has Pelosi lost her marbles?

Posted on3 Comments

It appears so….

Audio:

Via the Washington Times:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque on Tuesday. She told San Francisco’s KCBS radio

[….]

“There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded,” she said. “How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we’ve been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City.” (h/t Kristinn)

Calls to investigate the funding for those proposing the $100 million “Cordoba House” have fallen on deaf ears, though, as New York’s Mayor Mike Bloomberg has described such an investigation as “un-American.”

Ms. Pelosi called the Ground Zero mosque an “urban development decision” for New Yorkers to work through. Her remarks happened on the heels of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, parting ways with President Barack Obama on the issue. Mr. Reid suggested the mosque should be built somewhere else.

Heck, even the liberals do not like this idea! For all of their faults; and I know this personally, because I was a left of center voting Democrat at one point — the Liberals do believe in the first amendment. So, I will give them credit there. Anyhow, I think Nancy Pelosi ought to be checked, because I really do not think she is speaking with a clear mind or something. Because she just is not make any sense here. Investigate people for using their right to free speech? It just does not make any damned sense at all.

Possibly the best thing ever written about the Park51 mess

Rick Moran over at Right Wing Nuthouse Writes:

If you know a little history about Catholics in America, you will recognize that they were saying much the same thing 160 years ago with the first great influx of Irish immigrants. The myth that America is tolerant of other religions is belied by the historical treatment of Catholics and Jews in this country. While lip service is paid to constitutional protections, as late as 50 years ago, there were serious conversations carried out by serious people about whether electing a Catholic president would doom us to rule from Rome.

I’d advise you to go read the rest of that. Rick is one of the more saner voices on the right — well, outside of me, of course. 😉 His point is VERY valid. There was a time, when the right wing hated on Catholics, Jews and anyone else, who wasn’t Christian White American. In fact, there are places on the web, where stuff like that can be seen now. Like HERE for instance. 

UPDATE: I think I could live on $15.50 an hour quite well

(A Big ol’ Hat Tip to that Right Wing Wacko Steve Gilbert over at Sweetness and Light for this little lovely story! 😀 )

First, the crazy video, from a Union Meeting in Indy…:

Quotable quotes from the Story, which is over at the World Socialist Web Site:

Workers at a General Motors stamping plant in Indianapolis, Indiana chased United Auto Workers executives out of a union meeting Sunday, after the UAW demanded workers accept a contract that would cut their wages in half.

As soon as three UAW International representatives took the podium, they were met with boos and shouts of opposition from many of the 631 workers currently employed at the plant. The officials, attempting to speak at the only informational meeting on the proposed contract changes, were forced out within minutes of taking the floor.

The incident once again exposes the immense class divide between workers and union officials, who are working actively with the auto companies to drive down wages and eliminate benefits.

A vote on the changes was originally scheduled for Monday, but was cancelled by the UAW after Sunday’s informational meeting made it clear that opposition was nearly unanimous. The new contract would, among other concessions, cut wages from an average of $29 an hour to $15.50.

[….]

“No means no and that’s it. We said no. We said no again. We don’t want a contract. Close it,” auto worker Todd New told WTHR, a local television station. “They get their regular pay,” he said, referring to the union officials, “Why do they want to cut ours?”

“No matter how many jobs we will have at this facility, they will be poverty level and many families will have to take advantage of government programs,” added auto worker Carly Burkhart Kirchner.

Auto worker Nick Ellis told local news station WISHTV, “You just can’t live on $15.50 an hour.”

Sorry, I got no pity for these idiots. I know my dad’s a union man. But, you know what? I’m sitting here, with no damned income, at all. Except for the piss poor income, that this blog happens to generate; and these asshole clowns are bitching because they’ll make a little less money? Fuck ’em I say. This is what happens when you have Unions; it’s great when times are good. But when times get tough, the Unions get ugly. I bet now, that this plant closes and these clowns get put out of work, and you know what? They’ve got it coming.

As I said in the title. I could and would live very well for $15.50 an hour. Sign me the hell up, I will start tomorrow!

Update: As a matter of fact, I just drove my 1990 Mercury Cougar to the damned JUNK YARD today and got $275.00 for it. Which is the most money that I have had since about 2005, when I had to quit my previous job — because it was making me sick. Anyhow, the point is this; I have not worked since 2005, I could not afford to piss more money away into that old car of mine and so I junked it. My point also, is this; there are people out there, like me, who are out of work and these idiot clowns are crying —- because they actually have to take a pay cut. In other words, they feel entitled to make over $20.00 an hour. I got four words for these idiots: CRY ME A RIVER!  🙄

Again, I say, I could and would love to work for $15.50 and hour and I could live quite well.

Jews, Propaganda and Park 51

Here is the main reason I will not use Haaretz for reporting news stories:

 

After weeks of heated debate over plans for an Islamic community center near Ground Zero – the site of the 9/11 attacks on New York – it seems Muslim leaders will soon back down, agreeing to move to a new site.

The decision follows a high-profile campaign against the project that included advertisements on New York buses showing images of the burning Twin Towers, an iconic landmark razed when al-Qaida terrorists flew packed passenger planes into them in 2001. The New York Republican party is also said to be planning a hostile television campaign.

This story, of course, is bogus, false, and further proves that Haaretz is nothing more than a Zionist propoganda outlet. Even the Jerusalem Post has a bit more integrity than these guys; but not much more. There have been bogus stories float out of that paper as well.  

However, Harry Reid is now being quoted as saying that he wished that these Park51 folks would move the Mosque elsewhere. Of course, his statement is being met with anger from some of the left. I believe that this Mosque could become a thorn in the side of the Democrats come November.  

Speaking of political issues; this whole Mosque situation has me a bit ticked off. Here’s why; if any of you all believe that the Republican Party or any of the rest of these people that are raising a fuss about this damned building actually give a flying frito about that building being built —- I have land to sell you in Texas for cheap. The truth is, these people, and if you’ll pardon my frank speech — these people do not give two shits about that Building being built two blocks away from where the twin towers fell. You want to know what this is all about? Making President Obama and the Democrats look bad; so that the Republicans, whom most of these bloggers, Conservatives and other people support — can possibly win in November. Further more, this man-made controversy is also an effort by said bloggers, who I will not mention, for fear of litigation; to feed this silly Meme that President Obama is not really an American citizen, but rather a crypto Muslim and a supporter of Islamic Terrorism in America and abroad.

The problem with that idea is this; the American people, specifically independent voters are just a little bit smarter than these morons give them credit for. They know when some deranged Zionist Blogger, who also said that Obama was the love child of Malcom X, is trying to feed them a line of bullshit; and they are going to vote appropriately, as they should. That is what steams me about this whole thing. These idiots, and that is what they are, idiots; do not care about the area, they only give a crap about thier personal and political and Zionistic agendas — which is to smear ALL MUSLIMS AND ARABS as terrorists.

It is, I am afraid, what happens, when Religion and Politics become entangled.

 

 

Late Night at the PB Pub: Special Memorial Edition Presents The Gap Band

Posted on

I remember a time, when you could not turn on the radio, and not hear this song being played.

Robert Wilson, who as the bassist for the funk and R&B group the Gap Band had a string of hits including “You Dropped a Bomb On Me,” has died. He was 53.He died at his home Sunday in Palmdale, Calif., outside of Los Angeles. He is believed to have died of a heart attack, said Karen Lee, publicist for his brother and Gap Band singer Charlie Wilson.

Wilson provided the bass backbone for the trio, which also included another brother, Ronnie. The group, originally from Tulsa, Okla., first hit the charts in 1979 with the songs “Shake” and “Open Your Mind (Wide).”

They had their biggest success in the 1980s, though, with hits like “Outstanding,” “You Dropped a Bomb On Me,” “Oops Upside Your Head” and “Yearning for Your Love,” among others.

“My brother Robert was a bad boy on the bass,” Charlie Wilson said in a statement released Monday. “We shared a bond as brothers, musicians and friends. I loved him, and losing him is difficult for both Ronnie and I. The music world has lost a very talented man.”

Robert Wilson had been touring for the past few weeks, including a stop in his hometown of Tulsa. — Source NPR

Now this is different:

Ahlam Mohsen - Unhinged Pie Thug

Washington — Sen. Carl Levin was hit in the face with a pie this morning at a question-and-answer session on what should’ve been friendly ground in Big Rapids.

The Democrat from Detroit was speaking to members of the Mecosta County Democratic Party when a young man — who described himself as a student — began chastising Levin for his work on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which helps direct military and war policy.

After a few minutes of speaking at Pepper’s Café and Deli, a woman who accompanied the student to the event walked up to Levin and hit him in the face with a pie, a source with Levin’s office confirmed.

Big Rapids Police arrested the woman on assault and battery charges.

via Levin hit in face with pie in Big Rapids — The Detroit News.

Interesting. I thought it was the Tea Party folks who were supposed to be the violent ones? Do you expect to see wall to wall coverage of this event on CNN and MSDNC MSNBC? Me either. 🙄 It just does not fit the narrative.

Because according to MSNBC and CNN, only the Teabagging white racist bigots can be violent pie throwers. 🙄

Some great trading advice from The Technical Traders:

At Active Trading Partners, we take a different approach to trading than most online services in terms of advising our subscribers.   Our methodology revolves around behavioral characteristics of the crowd, and taking advantage of the extremes in sentiment, whether bullish or bearish.

In the case of ETF trading, we often work with 3x Bull or Bear ETF’s like BGZ, ERY, ERX, TZA, TNA and so forth.  Using a combination of Fibonacci re-tracements and Elliott Wave theory, we look for high probability set-ups and extreme overbought or oversold situations to trigger a trade recommendation.  A most recent example with ETF’s was a short position we took against the rising energy stock index, the XLE.  This index had become incredibly overbought in just a few weeks, and looking at prior topping indicators and fibonacci trading day cycles, we felt it was a “Low Risk” bet to short the rally.  We recommended ERY at $45.40 as the XLE headed over $56 and was becoming overbought.  Within 7 days we had a 15% plus gain by going against the crowd.  I saw a 13 fibonacci day trading rally at extremes, so we used the XLE chart below, to identify the timing to enter into ERY.

UPDATED — Sigh: President Obama’s Dip in the Gulf, wasn’t in the gulf after all

Posted on1 Comment

You know, I defend the guy a few times; and what does he do? Make me look like an idiot. Good Job Barry! 🙄

Yeah, He's a dip alright!

President Barack Obama wanted to convince America that the Gulf of Mexico remains open for business. But perhaps he didn’t want the world to catch another glimpse of his hairless chest.

So when he and his daughter, Sasha, took a dip in the sea off Florida this weekend, only the White House photographer was allowed to capture proceedings.

The official picture was intended to provide evidence that the region’s beaches are back to normal. Yet it soon emerged that the private beach on which it was taken, off Alligator Point in St Andrew Bay, north-west Florida, isn’t technically in the gulf.

via President goes for a swim in the Gulf – or does he? – Americas, World – The Independent.

Yeah, I know what you all are going to say; “That’s what you get for defending a Democrat!” Yes, I know, thank you very very much. Now bite my butt! 😉 😛 😀

Memo to Barry: Look man, if you are going to go for a swim “In the gulf”, can you at least make sure it is ACTUALLY in the gulf?!?!?! I mean, I am putting what little Conservative cred that I actually have on the line here, defending you from the stupids on the far-right and here you go swimming in the wrong damn place!

Not to rip off Bugs Bunny or anything. But, what a maroon! 🙄

Update: Perhaps the independent doesn’t know what it is talking about. No More Mister Nice Blog points out that the area would be considered the “Gulf”. Good catch. 😀

Uh-Oh: House Oversight Committee says Obama Administration did Propaganda Campaigns for Agenda

Posted on

Ouch, this one is blistering… 😯 (H/T HotAir)

The said document here

Excepts:

Since the beginning of the Obama Administration on January 20, 2009, ordinary Americans have financed and been exposed to an unprecedented number of public relations and propaganda efforts. Federal spending for public relations contracts rose to historically-high levels during the Bush Administration. Under one-party rule in 2009, the White House used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the President’s agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives. Congress buoyed the Administration’s propaganda efforts by increasing federal spending on public relations for the first time since 2005.

The Obama Administration frequently used federal resources to promote the President’s agenda. In many cases, the Administration relied on the reach and resources of federal agencies and their personnel to promote certain of the President’s favorite programs. The White House also leveraged ties to the arts and entertainment community to embed propaganda in the content of television programming and artwork. These propaganda efforts violated appropriations riders and federal law prohibiting the use of appropriated funds for publicity or propaganda purposes.

The White House also used its inherent visibility advantages to multiply the effectiveness of websites containing misleading and controversial information. The White House used its resources to push visitors to websites that urge grassroots activism based on false and misleading information. The President’s right to sell his policy recommendations to Congress and the public is not disputed; however, using the resources of the federal government to activate a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign is an abuse of office and a betrayal of the President’s pledge to create “an unprecedented level of openness in Government.”

Instead of facilitating openness, the public relations and propaganda activities of the White House have had precisely the opposite effect. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has historically deemed activities involving “covert propaganda” to be unlawful. In those cases, the source of the public relations or propaganda materials did not disclose his or her identity as a federal employee or contractor. Many of the Obama Administration’s propaganda activities are unlawful because they are covert. Furthermore, several programs closely resemble those decried by Democrats and ruled unlawful by GAO during the Bush Administration.

This report examines several of the most visible public relations and propaganda efforts during the first year of the Obama Administration. Viewed collectively, these activities reveal an Administration better suited to campaign-style self-promotion than to providing transparent and honest leadership.

[…]
In October 2008, the Justice Department’s Office of Public Affairs (OPA) added Tracy Russo to direct the Department’s “new media efforts.” Russo, the Chief Blogger and Deputy Director of Online Communications for the John Edwards for President Campaign,58 was given the title “New Media Specialist.”59 Since October, Russo has served as the author of the Justice Department’s official blog.60

Shortly after Russo was hired, reports surfaced that indicated she was covertly attempting to shape public opinion by searching online for articles, blogs or other entries critical of the Administration and then anonymously, or through the use of a pseudonym, posting comments to those sites attacking the author or contents.61

The blogging and campaign communities refer to this propaganda tactic as “astroturfing.”62 Astroturfing is the action of using fake and anonymous postings on message boards and blogs to push a point of view or to create the appearance of grassroots support for a particular agenda.63

I’d go read the rest of that report. There is a ton more in that report that I did not quote for space reasons.  If the Republicans take back both houses of Congress; we could be looking at a HUGE investigation of this Administration.

The World lost this man:

There have been millions of words remembering Elvis Presley. There are many opinions about the man. However, there is one indisputable fact. Elvis was self made man. Elvis Presley came from utter poverty and made something of himself. Unlike the so-called “Stars” of today, who essentially have their careers handed to them; Elvis worked his butt off to get where he was.

Sadly, Elvis was a tragic victim of his own excesses and is a tragic, sobering, reminder of what excessive drug use will do to a human body. It was, and still is a tragic loss to the music world and the entertainment industry.

There are many people remembering “The King” today. My thoughts are with them all.

The Feckless Far-Right: Exhibit S for Semite-Baiting

Posted on1 Comment

This story would be laughable; if it were not the fact that the parties involved were not taken so seriously by the MSM.

Anyhow, Harvard University shuffled it’s stock portfolio; and right away the Far-Right went into Semite persecution mode.  Soccer Dad points out the following:

Prof Bainbridge, though, notices that many of the companies from Israel listed were losing money. However that may not even be the real reason as Solomonia notes:

In other words, Israel’s economy is so good it’s no longer considered “developing,” it’s just a category shift…which sounds plausible to me. How much do you want to bet that that’s pretty close to what it’s going to be all about when we start hearing from on the record sources?

Yid with Lid and Israel Matzav have updated their posts accordingly.

But do not expect anytime soon for any of the Semite-Baiting Far-Right to update any of their postings anytime soon. They have a narrative to pursue! Because anytime anyone divests any shares from a Israeli company; of course it’s a automatic persecution of the Joooooos! 🙄

Now before anyone says, “Hey! What about this?” To that I simply say this; I am not inaccurate in my description of the vile hatred of the left towards Bill Kristol, and I do suspect it is because of his Jewish race. That is what Neo-Con means in Liberal and Paleo-Conservative speak.

The main reason I enjoy pointing these people out; is because they are pulling the same tactics as the far left. Let us persecute these people, because they do not agree with our political agenda. The very idea that these Semite-Baiting idiots on the far right would attempt to smear Harvard and accuse them of supporting terrorism; is absolutely laughable. Further more, this whole idea that if you do not adhere to some rabid Zionist doctrine or if you do not support rabid Zionist causes; makes you a supporter of jihad —— smacks of something that almost destroyed the Republican Party in the 1950’s —— McCarthyism.

Let me give a open warning to the Republican Party or more specifically the Conservative Blogosphere and the Conservative media in general. If you embrace this sort of Anti-Liberty nonsense and you use the tactic of calling someone, who happens to disagree with your stance an Anti-Israel or a supporter of Jihad; your political cause will die. The Republican Party will not survive. Not everyone that disagrees with the rabid Zionism of the far-right is a supporter of terrorism. The sort of attitude of “You are either with us or against us” almost destroyed the Bush Presidency and they abandoned that talking point, some would say after it was too late for that Administration, but I digress. That sort of collective group think will never do a thing to further the cause of Conservatism. Joseph McCarthy found that out, the hard way.

I am a Moderate Conservative; I believe that any sort of political or religious philosophy taken to any sort of extreme, is dangerous. Further more, I am all for the fiscal Conservatism. I believe that “Tax and Spend” is NOT a good way to come out of a recession. But I will be DAMNED if I will ever, EVER, EVER side with those who wish to smear others who disagree with their religious or political agendas!

The Feckless Far-Right: Exhibit ZB For Zionist Bigotry

Posted on3 Comments

I never thought that in a million years that I would be siding with this Blogger. But damn it; he is right.

Guess where this quote is from:

President Obama came out Friday evening in favor of the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at the hallowed ground of the 9/11 attack.

Obama told the ummah (at an Iftar dinner on the third night of Ramadan) that he supports a triumphal mosque on the cherished site where Islamic jihadists attacked.

If you had any doubt who Obama stood with on 9/11, there can be no doubt in our minds now.

Click here to find out.

Un-farking-believable. 😯

I’m really honestly worried about what is becoming of the Conservative Blogosphere. 🙁

You tell me the difference between these two quotes

Posted on8 Comments

There is something eerily familiar about this quote:


“This is not about freedom of religion,” Cornyn said. “I do think it’s unwise to build a mosque in the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as the result of a terrorist attack.”

Voters “sense that they’re being lectured to, not listened to” by Democrats, he said. “The American people will render their verdict.”

Is it just me, or does that that sound much like:

Today I have stood, where once Jefferson Davis stood, and took an oath to my people. It is very appropriate then that from this Cradle of the Confederacy, this very Heart of the Great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us done, time and time again through history. Let us rise to the call of freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the South. In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny . . . and I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever.

I am just saying….

This issue will be the death the Republican Party, if they are not very careful. They are giving the Democrats the talking point that they need to defeat them in 2010…and 2012. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it —-They deserve it.

Update: Seeing that no one seems to get what I am trying to say. I will explain it. What is happening here is this; the Republican Party is pandering to the irrational fears of the general public towards Muslims. Just like George Wallace did with the southern Democrats, when they pandered to the White people in the South and their irrational fears of black people back in 1963. It is the same hate, the same pandering and the exact same bigotry. The only difference is, one was directed at blacks and this one is directed at Muslims and more broadly toward Arabs.

I have seen all of the rationalizations for all of this nonsense, and it is nothing more than vary nuanced bigotry. Only difference is that we did not use Arabs for slaves and did not lynch any of them. At least not yet. But I believe if the Republicans had their way; we would be lynching them, all of them, for what happened on 9/11.

Now this is not to say that I am not aware of the danger of Islamic terrorism or unaware or unwilling to accept the fact that there are Muslims who wish to impose Sharia Law in this Country. I am quite aware of that. But there is a big difference between awareness and bigotry; and this nonsense here is nothing more than nuanced bigotry. Period.

The Classless Left: Exhibit JH for Jewish Hatred

Posted on1 Comment

For our newest installation of Leftest Hate, we have far-leftest Blogger TBogg telling Jewish Conservative Bill Kristol to do something involving the male body. (CONTENT WARNING!)

Notice he uses the word “Neo-Conservative”?

In leftist and Paleo-Conservative speak, (Which is where the liberals learned the term…) “Neo-Conservative” or it’s shorter brother, “Neo-Con” refers to anyone, whether Conservative or not, that agrees with Wilsonian Foreign policy. It also stands for basically a Jewish Conservative as well. As the term does have origins among the Paleo-Conservatives or old right; who were bigoted and quite resentful of the Jews who crossed over from being Democrats to Republicans.

I would quote some of that deranged nonsense over here; but the good majority of it is just sheer unhinged hate.

Don’t get me wrong; I am not a Bill Kristol fan, not by a long shot; but that is just over the top and sheer lunacy.

Somewhere, Michelle Malkin is smiling.

...and smile she should...

The harsh Republican response to President Barack Obama’s defense of a mosque near ground zero marks a dramatic shift in the party’s posture toward Islam — from a once active courtship of Muslim voters to a very public tolerance after Sept. 11 to an openly aired sense of mistrust.

Republican leaders have largely abandoned former President George W. Bush’s post-Sept. 11 rhetorical embrace of American Muslims and his insistence — always controversial inside the party — that Islam is a religion of peace. This weekend, former Bush aides were among the very few Republicans siding with Obama, as many of the party’s leaders have moved toward more vocal denunciations of Islam’s role in violence abroad and suspicion of its place at home.

The shift plays to a hostility toward Islam among many Republican voters, and it fits with traditional Republican attacks on Democratic weakness on security policy.

“Bush went against the grain of his own constituency,” said Allen Roth, a political aide to conservative billionaire Ron Lauder and, independently, a key organizer of the fight against the mosque. “This is part of an underlying set of security issues that could play a significant role in the elections this November.”

This past election cycle in 2008. I voted libertarian; for one, I did not like John McCain’s running mate. For two, I noticed that the Republican Party was running on a platform of bigotry. The whole using of 9/11 imagery during the Republican convention sickened me to my core. It was after this, that I decided that my vote was going to Bob Barr and not to John McCain.

Yeah, this issue is going to play a significant role alright; and that is to the sound defeat of the Republicans come 2012 and possible here in 2010. The truth is folks, that independent voters, for the most part; Reject any sort of Bigotry towards anyone of any race.  If the Republican Party believes that they are going to win this election by stoking the fears of the people — they are going to be in a very huge surprise come November 2, 2012 and possibly even in 2010.

So, to the Republican Party, drop this agenda of bigotry towards Muslims and those of Arab decent; or there will be one less vote for the Republican Party come 2012 —- Mine.

Update: To the idiot attempting to comment with the Conspiracy theory crap. Please, take your “Muslim Thunder” crap elsewhere. There is only one thing I detest worse the stupid Republicans and that is stupid liberals. That is all.
