Rosanne Bar on the Oscars

Oh, this is too rich

Barr on the Oscars:

I take it–I didnt watch at all. The self congratulations gross me out. I did of course watch the final episode of Big Love. Wow! I hope we dont have to wait too long to see more next season. Revolution is coming to Utah! Bill is coming out of the “closet.”

Seeing she does not have a problem with coming after me. I will simply say this….

Um, Rosanne dear… Could it be that you are just a bit bitter, because no one in Hollywood wants to work with your sorry butt any longer? Maybe? Possibly? I think so.

UPDATE:Charles Foster Johnson extends his Blogger McCarthyism to me – Lord Chuckie responds and beclowns himself

As I wrote last night on here, I did watch the Oscars.  I happened to enjoy the show myself.  Maybe it is because the show holds such a historical role in America life.  I am a history buff, after all.  After the show, I did come back to the laptop, fired up the browser, and checked my vast amount of RSS feeds that I do monitor via iGoogle.  The first RSS feed that I happened to have there, was Charles Foster Johnson’s Blog, which is named little green footballs.  I should point out, that the only reason it was “first”, meaning the first one on the top left, is because it was last one I had added, in like a long while —- not because I really liked the man or anything silly.

Having said all of the above, I happen to come across this article by Robert Stacy McCain this morning and I figured that it would be a good set up for relaying a bit of news. It appears that Charles Foster Johnson has finally pointed his collectivist McCarthyism Blogger guns at me.  Last night, when I attempted to open Mr. Johnson’s Blog, I saw the following:

Charles Johnson McCarthyism Strikes

He even made darn sure I couldn't look at his blog. Hey Chucky, ever heard of Proxies?

Charles Foster Johnson, The Modern Day Joseph McCarthy - Collectivist Thought Control Twit!

The reason this whole amuses me so much, is the fact that I actually defended the man’s right to ban trolls from his blog. Oh, Yes, I know, I did criticize him for some of his more idiotic actions, like lying about Pamela Geller, and other such nonsense.  The way I see it, if you cannot handle criticism, you have no business being in this blogosphere at all.  In fact, Charles Johnson’s Blog was in my “Left Voices” Column Bloggroll for a good long while, which I did explain here. I even on one occasion did mention in a blog posting, that I thought e-mailing Charles Johnson and accusing him of Homosexuality was quite lame;  Although, I will confess to taking part in some of that jesting myself on other blogs. Way I see it; I have been accused of the same thing myself and I was simply passing on the jesting that I have received myself to someone else.  I also now see that Mr. Johnson is unable to take a joke.

Having written the above, I will simply say this.  It really does not matter.  In fact, Charles Foster Johnson does not even matter any longer.  Johnson’s relevance came into question, when he turned against Pamela Geller.  Charles Johnson’s Blog came into its own, after he exposed some rather lame yellow journalism by Dan Rather’s Producer on a story about President George W. Bush’s Military service.  Other than that, Charles Johnson’s only other news worthy item is his Blogging against Islamic Jihad.  This, quite honestly, is not nearly as pointed as it once was.  In fact, there have been blog postings, which have been flagged by other Jewish Bloggers as pointedly Anti-Jewish.  I do not go as far as to say Anti-Semitic, as that is a bit of an extreme charge. However, I believe Anti-Israel, and possibly Anti-Jewish is a fair charge.

The reason why this really makes me laugh is that I have criticized others before; Andrew Sullivan, Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com, Stacy McCain, Michelle Malkin, and many others; have they blocked me from viewing their Blogs?  No, they have not.  Because they know that, a Blog is public website and to through the trouble to ban someone from actually viewing a blog is the epitome of lame.  In fact, I even considered doing the same thing, because of the attacks of the trolls on this site.  However, I figured that doing that sort of thing was an overreach power on my part.  My Blog is a public site and I believe everyone should be able to read it — Even if the readers do not agree — this is their personal right.  I believe in diversity of opinion, unlike some liberals, like Mr. Johnson.

In conclusion, I consider this a badge of honor.  It comes with the territory.  It reflects more on Mr. Johnson than it does me.  I pity the man; he has become his own island.  For that, he has become a much poorer man.

Update: One of Chuckie’s many mindless followers asks:

Lord Chuckie Responds:

So, you see guys. It is all about control and dominance with this guy. Which is sure sign of Megalomania….or something.

Also, thanks to these guys for linking in, in the comments section. Glad to see that I am not the only person who has ran into this idiot’s lameness.

Why do Conservative Republicans say stupid stuff like this?

First Roseanne Barr, now Tom Delay. Seriously, did the stupid bus break down and let everyone off at once? Oy. 🙄

First up the Video, and I apologize up front for the source:

Now the quote:

Asked whether it was bad strategy to make a budget stand on a $10 billion extension of unemployment (as opposed to, say, the Bush’s $720 billion prescription drug package), Delay insisted that if the PR had been done right, Bunning would have been applauded. Helping the unemployed with federal assistance, he said, was unsound policy.

“You know,” Delay said, “there is an argument to be made that these extensions, the unemployment benefits keeps people from going and finding jobs. In fact there are some studies that have been done that show people stay on unemployment compensation and they don’t look for a job until two or three weeks before they know the benefits are going to run out.

Host Candy Crowley: Congressman, that’s a hard sell, isn’t it?

Delay: it’s the truth.

Crowley: People are unemployed because they want to be?

Delay: well, it is the truth. and people in the real world know it. And they have friends and they know it. Sure, we ought to be helping people that are unemployed find a job, but we also have budget considerations that are incredibly important, especially now that Obama is spending monies that we don’t have. – Source: Huffington Post

Excuse me, Mr. Delay? But, I have been unemployed since 2005 and it is not because I want to be. I never was eligible for benefits. I quit my last job, because it was making me physically sick. So, I had to quit. Thanks to your Party’s former candidate and now former President’s idea of going to war with Iraq and because of the Progressive policies, that both the Republicans AND Democrats embraced; the economy here in Michigan is in the damned toilet. That is why I am not working, not because I do not want to.

Can someone remind me, just why this idiot is not in jail? Anyone? 🙄

It is stuff like this right here, that makes me wonder if 2010 is going to be a lost cause. Because just how much more tone deaf and out of touch with reality does one need to be? Clue to the Republican Party; spouting stupid ignorant tripe like this, is NOT going to get us back in charge of Congress, not anytime soon anyway. I am quite sorry to have the say this, BUT! —-  There’s stupid and then there’s Tom Delay Stupid! 😮 I mean, this guy is starting to make Michele Bachmann look REAL smart. Which quite frankly, is pretty freakin’ scary, if you ask me. 😮

Not to rip off AllahPundit or anything, but…. Good Lord. 🙄

Updated: Scum of the week: Roseanne Barr – Barr Links..to me?

I saw this the other day on facebook and I resisted the urge to write about it. But I cannot stand silent no more.

I am referring to this, which comes via DailyMail in the U.K:

Actress Roseanne Barr has sparked controversy by claiming that Marie Osmond’s son killed himself because he was gay.

The sitcom star made the allegations on her blog, and said that Osmond’s Mormon faith was to blame for the 18-year-old’s death.

Michael Blosil, the singer’s adopted son, was found dead outside his Los Angeles apartment building last week.

Basically, this stupid bitch said this:

Barr writes: ‘Marie Osmond’s poor gay son killed himself. He had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that “depression” is a lie!

‘Yet the Osmonds still talk lovingly about their church, saying nothing about it’s extremely anti-gay crusade. Marie also has a gay daughter!

‘Hey I want her and all the gay kids in the world to know that they are just fine being gay and that they deserve love and respect instead of insults and rebuke!

‘I have gay people in my family and my circle of friends and I am kicking bigot a** and taking names!’

Barr, 57, who grew up among Mormons in Salt Lake City in Utah, also told the late teen: ‘If I had been your mom, I would have told you that some of the greatest and smartest and most artistic people who ever lived were gay.

‘I would have shielded you from bigots who tore at your soul, like the ones that unfortunately were closest to you.

‘To all the gay Mormon children out there in the world, I will be your mom! I love you.

In response, I give you Darlene Click who writes at Jeff’s Blog:

From every report, Marie Osmond has been nothing but a loving and supportive mom of Jessica, her daughter who happens to be a lesbian.

And as far as bigotry goes, Roseanne doesn’t have a mirror big enough to include both her hate and her fat ass.

Roseanne is the definition of cunt.

Update #3: I just wanted to update this and say something about what I originally wrote. You most likely already know what I wrote, as you read it over at Barr’s site. First off, let me say this; what I was trying to say, in my not-so-politically correct way is, that Rosanne Barr simply does not deserve the fame and fortune that she has; the woman obviously is a “bomb thrower”, and it gets her the attention that she most desperately wants. To be absolutely clear, No one, and I mean absolutely no one at all deserves death or to be shot. I thought that would be quite obvious to anyone reading my blog. Unfortunately, Most liberals seem to be lacking that stuff found between one’s ears. (I mean, their brains.)  Roseanne’s fame period obviously has quite obviously past, which is evidenced by her comments about the Oscars; and now to garner attention to herself and her website, she makes outlandish comments, that is her shtick. I mean, even Bill O’Reilly at Fox News would not even report what Barr said, that is how bad it is. He also mentioned that she apologized. Which in my humble opinion is not enough, she should just go away. But, I don’t run the world, so, I cannot make her do this. I responded as a Conservative “bomb thrower” and now her fans want to turn me into the FBI and Police. Which is the epitome of hypocrisy, considering what liberals said and did to Sarah Palin, not that I am a fan of hers, but the point is still there and can be made. So, no, I do not wish Barr any harm at all. I just wish she would grow up or better yet, just go away.

Barr is a classic example of the elitist liberal mindset that is much prevalent in the Hollywood circles. Not to mention the rest of the liberal landscape.

It is a sad reminder of why I stopped voting for Democrats. I did not leave them, they left me. Just that simple.

Update: Barr links to me. Calls this Blog a “Christian” Blog. Which shows me, how stupid she really is. This is not, nor has it ever been a “Christian Blog” ever. I do admit to holding Christian beliefs. But I’ve never considered this blog a “Christian Blog” at all, ever. I do not sit here and preach at my readers, anyone with brains or has read here, knows this. But then again, we are talking about Roseanne Barr here. By the way, Roseanne, if you happen to read here again. My Mom used to be a fan, before you started acting like an moronic twit in public. Grow up and act your fucking age, bitch. Seriously. 🙄

Update #2: Tell me again why Tom Arnold Married that fat ass heifer?

Don’t Worry Stacy, He does not link to me either

Well, He did once…. and some asshole bitched about it; because I am a former lefty, that created my share of controversy when I was on that side of the fence.

It might also be because I happen to highly dislike that two-bit Faux-Conservative Jew that hosts his Blog too. I call him a Jew, not because I am a hater, anti-Semite or anything like that. I call him a Jew, because that is what the hell he is.

Just sayin’

You don’t call yourself a f’ing Conservative and produce videos that make us look like damn buffoons. Plus, they rejected a article by a blogger, that I felt was legit. Because they were afraid that it would upset some investors. Then there was this little incident too. I mean, we white rust belters must stick together.  You don’t screw someone over, that I happen to think is very cool and then expect me not to react to it.

F’ing Period. 😡

Countdown to Reynolds and rest of his asshat cronies attacking me. I got two words for ’em. Bring it. 😡

Desperate Progressives Accusing Glenn Beck of being a Nazi and play the ‘Jew Card’

You know that progressives are scared out of their minds, when you start reading headlines like this: (H/T American Conservative Values)

Glenn Beck’s eliminationist attacks on progressives: How long before someone acts on this violent rhetoric?

To wild applause, he labeled this alleged tumor of “community” the supposedly evil “progressivism” — and he told disciples to “eradicate it” from the nation.

The lesson was eminently clear, coming in no less than the keynote address to one of America’s most important political conventions. Beck taught us that a once-principled conservative movement of reasoned activists has turned into a mob — one that does not engage in civilized battles of ideas. Instead, these torch-carriers, gun-brandishers and tea partiers follow an anti-government terrorist attack by cheering a demagogue’s demand for the physical annihilation of those with whom he disagrees — namely anyone, but particularly progressives, who value “community.”

Glenn Beck Finally Admitted His Great Desire: To ‘Eradicate’ Progressives

The lesson was eminently clear, coming in no less than the keynote address to one of America’s most important political conventions. Beck taught us that a once-principled conservative movement of reasoned activists has turned into a mob — one that does not engage in civilized battles of ideas. Instead, these torch-carriers, gun-brandishers and tea partiers follow an anti-government terrorist attack by cheering a demagogue’s demand for the physical annihilation of those with whom he disagrees — namely anyone, but particularly progressives, who value “community.”

Glenn Beck is a menace to civil society

You know I try to ignore Fox’s favorite idiot pundit but his speech at CPAC keeps coming back to me. He’s gone beyond relatively harmless kooky conspiracy theories into actively, if subliminally, promoting violence again…What motivates this kind of talk and behavior is called eliminationism: a politics and a culture that shuns dialogue and the democratic exchange of ideas in favor of the pursuit of outright elimination of the opposing side, either through suppression, exile, and ejection, or extermination.

But the one that really, really blew me away was this one here:

When Glenn Beck spits ‘progressive’ does anyone else hear ‘Jew’?

As someone who has been studying far right bigotry for 17 years now, I listen to this compilation of Glenn Beck talking about “progressives,” and I hear the same bigotry used to smear Jews over the years – but instead now the word being used instead of “Jew” is “progressive.”

Wow….. Just….Wow…. 😮 I had thought that John Aravosis was a bit more smarter than that. I guess I was wrong. Which is living proof that Progressive Liberalism is a mental disorder and that Homosexuality is an altered mental state. Anyone who equates Glenn Beck’s hatred of the Progressive movement to Hitler’s madness is idiot, plain and simple. I believe Jews everywhere ought to be screaming from the rafters about this one. I know if I were a Jewish person, I would be! 😡 For the doubters, I can assure you that you will never hear Glenn Beck calling for Progressives to be gassed or burned alive in crematoriums. Voted out of office, perhaps. But nothing more than that.  Further more, Glenn Beck also distinguishes between your standard Democrat and Liberal; and the far left Progressives, or as I like to call them; Neo-Marxists.

Just more reasons why I will never vote for Democratic Party candidate, ever again. Because if this is what the Democratic Party voters and their candidates believe, than I want nothing to do with it. The Democratic Party is in fact the National representative of the Progressive movement, and if this is feeling of the Progressive Movement, that they somehow are the “New Jews”, then it is over for me. I could never support a party that is now going to don the oppressed hat. That is idiotic at best.

Further more, the very idea that Glenn Beck himself could even inspire anyone to commit acts of violence is quite preposterous. I sometimes watch Glenn Beck, and I have never been inspired to commit violence against anyone who disagrees with my politics. Otherwise, my own parents would be dead! 😉  The inconvenient truth is, anyone who actually goes out and attempts to or does actually kill someone or a group of people of whom their politics clash has something going wrong in the gray matter upstairs.  It is a fact, right after the story broke about Joe Stack, who crashed his plane into the IRS office in Texas, Glenn Beck denounced the man as a “Whack Job” and make it very clear that he did not support any kind of violence at all.

The fact is that the Neo-Marxist, Progressive left is now feeling the heat and are being backed into a corner and they are doing everything in their power now to lash out and discredit those who are against their agenda. Whether this is coming on orders from the White House or not, remains to be seen. In fact, these articles quoted reek of the desperation of the Progressive Left and we can look forward to this sort of thing, leading up to the November elections. The Progressives are scared and are worried that everything that they worked for, could go up in smoke. For freedom loving Americans like me, this is a very good thing. I would love to see jobs back in this State, but as long as Progressive politics is controlling Michigan, we will never see those jobs.

So, to Glenn Beck; Keep sticking it to these bastards. They are running scared and are now playing the victim card.

Scott Brown sells the tea party movement up the river

I hate to be the one to say it; but, I knew this was coming.

The Hill tells the story:

Newly-seated Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in voting to move forward on their $15 billion jobs bill.

Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more narrowly-focused bill.

“I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families,” Brown said in a statement. “This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work.”

Democrats needed to poach Brown and and least one other Republican to reach the 60 votes necessary. Centrist Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) also voted for cloture on the proposal.

Reitiring GOP Sens. George Voinovich (Ohio) and Kit Bond (R-Mo.) also voted for cloture.

The reaction across the Blogosphere is mixed:

Don Surber is feeling like a chump:

I feel like a sucker right about now.

We’ve been tea-bagged.

Brown/Biden 2012.

Dr Melissa Clouthier is trying to put on the brave face:

A Twitter friend said that he’s still better than Teddy Kennedy. Well. The only reason for a Republican Senator is to stop any sort of spending bills.

[…]

Now, I’m hoping that the next big spending bill that comes along Scott Brown body slams. That’s unlikely to happen before the midterms in November. Even Democrats are worried about big spending bills right now.

Dan‘s a bit more direct:

When Scott Brown starts crafting national health care legislation, or sounding like the liberal lion of the Senate, get back to me. Until then, it’s Massachusetts. We’re still a long way ahead on the deal.

Michelle Malkin is saying, “I told you so!”:

Yes, sigh, Scott Brown. Looks like he hasn’t taken up my suggested D.C. itinerary. But those of us who knew all along what we were getting — a game-changer who vowed to torpedo Demcare, but who was not an ideological conservative — are not surprised. And I pointed out Brown’s moderate record several times on Fox and on this blog during the campaign.

….and for a Final Touch, I received this private message from a Joe Santelli on facebook:

WHO CARES WHAT YOU FUCKING THINK….IT IS MA VOTERS WHO COUNT WITH HIM!

Scott Browns closet gay lover maybe? Hmmmm….Obviously, a Democrat. 🙄

Anyhow, this right here is why I was not falling all over myself to support this guy. Somewhere between the tea party movement and the Scott Brown campaign; the message became a bit muddled. What Scott Brown’s idea of real Conservatism is, and what actually fiscal Conservative values are, are obviously two different things. You have to the learn the language of politics, when a candidate says, “I am going to do the will of the people, who voted for me…” and it is regarding a bill that Conservatives traditionally oppose; that usually means that person is going to go against Conservative principles. Also, when someone says, “Well, the Campaign is over now…” and proceeds to change a position, that is usually a good idea that this person is going to break a campaign promise in a big way. It happened with Barack Obama’s Campaign and now it is happening again with Scott Brown. The bad part is, people were suckered into believing the hype on this guy. I always try and look past the hype, and see what the person is really like. Kind of like Ron Paul; once you get past the hype, there’s really not much there.

Ah well, live and learn, I suppose. Maybe the Tea Party movement can learn from this one. That you do not support someone, unless you REALLY know them first.

Speaking of tools

There is this idiotic tool:

Video:

The Story via ABC News:

The daughter of the man who carried out a suicide plane attack against the IRS in Texas said today she considered her father a hero for standing up to “the system,” although she later back away from that statement.

Joe Stack’s daughter says father’s act was “inappropriate” but understandable.

“His last actions, the suicide, the catastrophe that caused injuries and death, that was wrong,” Samantha Bell, Stack’s daughter from his first marriage, told “Good Morning America” in a morning television exclusive telephone interview that aired today. “But if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice, then nothing will ever be accomplished. But I do not agree with his last action with what he did. But I do agree about the government.”

When “Good Morning America” asked if she considered her father a “hero,” Bell, 38, said, “Yes, because now maybe people will listen.” Bell later called “Good Morning America” to retract her statement and say unequivocally that her father was “not a hero.”

Rather, she said the only hero involved in the attack was its victim, Vietnam veteran Vernon Hunter, the only person besides Stack killed in the attack.

“I don’t want to hurt anybody,” Bell said. “We are mourning for Vernon Hunter.”

“His last actions, the suicide, the catastrophe that caused injuries and death, that was wrong,” Bell said in the aired interview. “But if nobody comes out and speaks up on behalf of injustice, then nothing will ever be accomplished. But I do not agree with his last action with what he did. But I do agree about the government.”

No Bitch, your Father was a greedy asshole, who thought he was above paying taxes. This is why he was dead. Of course, the Anti-tax idiots are saying he is a hero too. What tools. Morons, idiots. 😡

You make money, you pay your damned taxes, end of story.

Tools, there’s so damned many of them. 🙄

Why Do Conservative Republicans do STUPID stuff like this?

More Brilliance from the Party of Stupid:

State Delegate Bob Marshall of Manassas says disabled children are God's punishment to women who have aborted their first pregnancy.

He made that statement Thursday at a press conference to oppose state funding for Planned Parenthood.

“The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children,” said Marshall, a Republican.

“In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There’s a special punishment Christians would suggest.

via Legislator: Disabled kids are God’s punishment | newsleader.com | The News Leader.

Ugh. How stupid and Tone Deaf can you get? 🙄

Oh, the Liberals are already running with this one!…… and this idiot and those who support him deserve every bit of grief that they get.

Pure Idiocy. 😡

My grandmother had a disabled daughter, and NEVER, EVER had an abortion. What a tool. 😡

Randy Haddock Responds to Keith Olbermann

Perhaps a better response to the Keith Olbermann Smear of the National Tea Party Movement. This one is by Randy Haddock:

First, his choice of words. People of color? Who are these colored people he’s referring to? What does that mean? It may be because I’m not a native English speaker, but I find this “people of color” business to be really bizarre. So as a Boricua, am I colored? I guess I’m olive but if I hit the beach on a sunny day I can be golden brown. Is he referring strictly to skin color? Culture? Ethnicity? I mean, I’m not that much darker than Mr. Olbermann himself. Do I fall into his “people of color” category?

Or, as I suspect, are “people of color” just code for those who deviate too much from the skin color which Olbermann seems to deem as the standard? I mean, come on, Olbermann has no color, right? He’s white. That ain’t no color. That’s just how it’s supposed to be, right? So, all I can think of is that he means “black.” Black people are colored, and everyone else is just normal and a-OK. Man, this race and colors stuff is difficult to understand!

And secondly, the question is stupid, the premise terribly moronic and the insinuation totally insulting. The Tea Party protesters aren’t racist. Are there a few kooks with nefarious motivations? Sure, every movement has them. It’s nice how, during the Bush years, the MSM did everything they could to whitewash the fringe elements of the antiwar movement, but I digress. What’s Olbermann’s evidence that Tea Parties are overwhelmingly racist? Apparently, that there are no “people of color” at these rallies. That is so blatantly false as to induce uncontrollable laughter. There are people of all backgrounds at the Tea Parties. But even if an event is dominated by a certain race group, what does that prove? Similar to what Glenn Reynolds said earlier this month, if you look at a group of white folks and the first thought that pops into your head is “racists!” then you have some serious issues.

So I put together this video response to Olbermann’s burning question. Here are his “people of color” he’s been inquiring about.

Very well put.

Why do Conservatives do dumb stuff like this?

Jim Hoft, who has been known to link to White Nationalist websites, links to some far right wing Blogger. Who takes his camera and goes after some liberal journalist. He gets bumped and whines about it.

Click the picture to watch the video:

As I wrote on this idiot’s blog. Dude, I would kicked you square in the fucking balls and called the damn cops. You were acting like a total fucking asshole. You being a Conservative, does not entitle you to act like some fucking asshole with a Camera. Then to top it off, when you actually got bumped, which really didn’t amount to anything serious; you start acting like a fucking asshole and then go whine about it on your blog. In short, you were acting like some fucking idiot liberal. Grow up and quite bringing a bad name to the Conservative movement.  ya damn tool. 🙄

That is all.

UPDATED – In defense of the ‘OddBall’

First off, let me say that what happened at the University of Alabama was a horrible tragedy. This is why I have avoided blogging about this topic; as I did not want to be accused of politicizing the whole thing. I personally do not care what the woman’s politics were, the fact is that this woman ended up killing three people, people who were Husbands, Fathers, and friends to many. That, I feel, does transcend politics, and because of that, I basically shunned the subject.

However, I do feel the need to address one thing here. There is this story in the Boston Herald:

As authorities searched for clues into what could have sent a University of Alabama neurobiology professor on an alleged killing spree, friends and family yesterday described Braintree native Amy Bishop as an awkward introvert on the brink of losing her teaching job.

Bishop’s husband, James Anderson, told the Herald his wife had been fighting the university for over a year about a tenure denial, and several months ago received a final decision. She was upset, but not overly emotional, approaching her appeal “like a game of chess,” he said.

Police in Huntsville, Ala., charged Bishop, 44, with capital murder after she allegedly opened fire on six colleagues at a faculty meeting Friday, killing three. Afterward, she calmly called her husband and asked him to pick her up as if nothing had happened, said police Chief Henry Reyes.

“She was an oddball – just not very sociable,” said Sylvia Fluckiger, a former lab technician who worked with Bishop in 1993.

What bothers me is this; there is a narrative being played up here. That this woman was an ‘Oddball’. As someone who has been labeled an ‘Oddball’ in my lifetime. I find this to be very disconcerting. Yes, I have my quirks; I like to think of myself as a bit eccentric, but I am not a murderer. What this woman did was a act of a deranged killer and not just some overly educated ‘oddball’ eccentric. There is a difference, and I wish that the media would please point out that difference.

First it was people that were loners, and very quiet and kept to themselves. Now, they are going with the ‘Oddball’ characterization. Why is it that the police and other said authorities just cannot be content with just explaining that the woman was a cold-blooded killer and stop the personality characterizations? It is quite disgusting and it is totally unfair to those of us, who might to possess those qualities and may just be normal average people, who are not looking to inflict any sort of harm on anyone.

Update: Smitty over at The Other McCain agrees. Proving once again, that AllahPundit and the rest of the atheists are crazy and there is actually a God. 😉

Seriously Dan, is this the best you have?

The dude disagrees with Megan McCain and the best this moron can do is mock her damned weight? 😡

How fucking Juvenile can you be? 🙄

This is the same asshole, who offered up my IP address to anyone who wanted it; all because I said something about Obama, that he deemed racist. But the very next day publishes the very unfunny and quite racist “OSAMA-OBAMA’ moniker on his own damned blog. He removed it, after I said something about it. I wish I had screen capped it, but I didn’t.

This is the stupidity that I refer to in my Blog’s subtitle at the top.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Dan Riehl.

Obama’s unknown supporter who died revealed

As you all know, Obama spoke of a supporter, who succumbed to Cancer. Well, he could not remember her name and predictably, my fellow Conservatives mocked Obama and insinuated that he was lying about it.

Well, here she is:

Dear MoveOn member,

Earlier this week, we received incredibly sad news. Melanie Shouse, a devoted MoveOn Council leader in St. Louis and tireless health care advocate, passed away after a battle with breast cancer.

Melanie was a true fighter. While she was involved in many issues with MoveOn, she always said health care was her heart—and even after treatments began, she came to every single health care rally, speaking out about the injustices she was suffering under our broken health care system.

Melanie’s story is a painful reminder of why we need to fight as hard as we can to get real health care reform passed, now.

Our friends at TrueMajority are gathering messages of condolence to deliver to Melanie’s family this weekend. The email they sent is below. To add your message, just click this link.

http://www.truemajority.org/MelanieShouse/moveon

Thanks for all that you do.

–Kat, Keauna, Ilya, Lenore, and the rest of the team


Melanie Shouse has died.

Melanie was a small business owner from Missouri battling stage four breast cancer, who also had to fight with insurance companies who didn’t want to pay for her treatment. She didn’t take that lying down—she spoke out, she protested, she became a leader in the movement for a more just health care system. Maybe you remember the video thank-you she sent to you and other TrueMajority members last October for being part of that movement.1

The cancer took Melanie’s life last week. To her family, we can only express our deepest regret and sympathy. If you’d like to send your sympathy as well, you can sign our guest book, and we’ll deliver your messages to the family this weekend.

We’re sorry we didn’t get health care reform done sooner. Sorry that insurance coverage isn’t more affordable and accessible for millions of Americans who need it. Mostly, we’re sorry to lose our friend.

But Melanie would not have wanted us to stop fighting for reform. In fact, she asked that those attending her memorial service wear their activist t-shirts. So tomorrow, in lieu of flowers, let’s deliver our condolences, put on a campaign t-shirt and remember why we fight and who we are fighting for.

Shame on my fellow Conservatives for not getting the full story, before going to press.

Others, who screwed up: Sister Toldjah, Gateway Pundit, The Greenroom, sara in italy, Flopping Aces, Hot Air, Another Black Conservative, The Jawa Report, The Lonely Conservative and Pundit & Pundette

UPDATED – Tom Tancredo calls for the bringing back of Jim Crow Era Laws, insults Jews

This is just totally unbelievable:

(I apologize in advance for the video source… But it was the only place I could find it)

Video:

Here are some of highlights of the this racist, antisemitic speech:

Tancredo: Every year, the liberal Dems and the RINO Republicans turned up the temperature ever so slightly. It seemed after awhile that we’d all be boiled to death in a cauldron of the nanny state.

And then something really odd happened — mostly because we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country.

[Applause]

People who cannot even spell the word “vote,” or say it in English — [applause] — put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. Name is Barack Hussein Obama.

You mean like my WHITE Father, who is 63 years old and has only an 8th Grade education and does not spell very well at all? Who did vote for Obama and his voted Democrat all of his life? No wonder this idiot was eliminated from the Republican primaries early on. I love my father, but I disagree with his politics. I voted for Bob Barr, and my dad respects that. But this racist antisemitic jack ass did not stop there. He went after something else, or group I should say. Jewish people!

If McCain had been elected, the neocons would be writing flattering editorials in the Weekly Standard and the Wall Street Journal. Congressman Gutierrez and President McCain would have been posing in the Rose Garden with big smiles as they received accolades from La Raza for having finally passed an amnesty.

For those who do not get it; Neo-Con is code word for JEWS. Has been with the Paleo-Conservative right and with the Far Left since Bush was elected. Those NEO-CONS! Why didn’t he just come out and say JEWS? Because he is a coward; like Ron Paul, Like Pat Buchanan and the rest of those Jew-Hating bastards, who want to blame the Jews for everything that is wrong with this Country. David Duke would be proud! In fact, here is Duke’s video, essentially saying the same damned thing:

Do you see much difference? Neither do I. 🙄

Shame on that Tea Party Nation for hosting this racist, Antisemitic bastard. If the Republican Party thinks that embracing idiots like this guy is going to help their cause; they are going to be in for a wake up call come election 2010. Because I can tell you right now, I will NOT vote for someone that supports a person like Tom Tancredo. Not at all. Racism and Antisemitism is morally wrong and should not be in the mainstream in politics at all.

Update: For the first time in my Blogging career, I can honestly say that Keith Olbermann is 100% correct here:

Because this is not about illegal immigrants with Tom Tancredo, this is about protecting the white race. Against the Jews, against Blacks and against those who would dare pierce the white establishment in this Country. This is why I side with those who are of sane mind, and call this hatemonger for what he is. I am shocked that my follow bloggers on my side of asle are not more enraged about this, as I am. It speaks of the Conservative Movement and its unwillingness to take a stand against hate speech.
