Piles of Crap

Nutroots '16 Martin O’Malley was booed off the stage at Netroots Nation 2015 because he said “All lives matter.” He was booed off the stage because he didn’t say “Black lives matter.” Saying that all lives matter is actually considered offensive to some because it apparently symbolizes white supremacy or something.

The Left Evaluate Mitt's Choice “ Yes, I'm aware that one extremely rich white guy made the oh-so-brave and surprising choice of selecting as his special best friend the one guy most dedicated to rewarding extremely rich white guys. Shocking. And yet, there are things that are far more important. Such as... At this point, everything we do while failing to address climate change is no more than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, and politicians who contribute to this failure are directly responsible for the loss of homes, farms, fortunes, and lives.

KOS Does the outrage thing on cue

The Kommy Left Get Religion “ Unplugged Despite denial, records show Romney owned Bermuda shell corporation before forming blind trust The problem with Romney’s claim? The Bermuda corporation—Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors—was registered in 1997 and Romney was listed as the “the sole shareholder, a director, and president” of the corporation. The Bermuda corporation was under his personal ownership until it was transferred into a blind trust in his wife’s name the day before he was sworn in as governor, possibly to avoid disclosure. In fact, the one full tax return Romney did release shows that he directly owned the company as recently in 2010 and it was not held in his trust. Mitt Romney’s continued dishonesty on his investments in offshore tax havens and corporations raises serious questions about why he won’t release his tax returns. Only a release of additional tax returns will allow us to see if Romney avoided U.S. taxes with his offshore holdings. Cute.  It was about this point in 2008 that Daily Kos (and on the DNC payroll), out of the blue  released the first Obama birth certificate, or rather falsified Certificate of Live Birth that went through a series of revisions to keep up with the debunking.  That saga still continues. As well as SS-gate (Ohio PI challenges Obama’s ballot eligibility based on fraudulent SSN) and Columbia-gate (Obama's 'missing year' at Columbia found?).  Whatever floats yout boat, eh Zuniga?   ”

Payback Rapture?

Anthony Weiner is a lot like Bill Clinton, only funnier.

The lede segues to "We were first reminded of Bill Clinton when, at the gym yesterday, we tuned in to CNN (the communist YMCA doesn't get Fox News) to watch Weiner's press conference. Instead of Weiner, there was Andrew Breitbart holding forth. It was just like that day in December when Bill Clinton gave his first White House press conference in a decade ... ."  But these nutroot quotes are funnier still.

“ Andrew Reinbach at the Puffington Host (sic) Sunday: "What's gone largely unremarked is that the tactics used against Rep. Weiner are the ones at the top of the Right Wing toolkit. At a minimum, the Right Wing displays a fondness for tactics, and a willingness to stoop, that I think have no place in the public sphere." And "Stranded Wind" at DailyKos.com Thursday: "Congressman Anthony Weiner was stalked, set up, smeared, and this was coordinated to protect Clarence Thomas from scrutiny. . . . This conservative crime wave isn't going to just go away. As we've seen with Anthony Weiner, any individual who troubles them, even if that person by [sic] a United States Congressman, is going to get whacked." And "phenry," also at DailyKos.com Thursday: "In reality, of course, the 'hacker' probably just spent about an hour figuring out how to spoof yfrog's incredibly weak security and then uploaded a picture he found on a porn site. But Rep. Weiner doesn't know that. Realistically, there's no reason to expect him to know that. Now that the wheels are coming off of the cunning plan and Breitbart has once again been exposed as the charlatan and serial liar that he is ... " [WSJ, The Second Time as Farce] Oh Lordy.  Is this "payback rapture," I wonder?

Under the bleachers with hippie skanks

Liberal blogger directly confronts David Axelrod, accuses White House of "hippie punching" Dude,  I don't remember no bleach.  You always been a chick? I mean, I don't want to offend you, but, you were born a man, weren't you? You can tell me, I'm open minded.  (Apologies to Otto)

"We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day" “ Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere's anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of "hippie punching." "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day," the blogger, Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars, pointedly told Axelrod on the call, which was organized for liberal bloggers and progressive media. The call seemed to perfectly capture the tense dynamic that exists between the White House and the online and organized left: The fun continues

NET NEUTRALITY

"If we can't get everything we want out of health care reform and climate change, then we will have to take what we can and hope that we can get 'net neutrality' legislation passed. - Nutroots Nation conference

I think the storm done gathered. “   Yes, net neutrality. While the health care debate and fight over cap and trade and stimulus spending have garnered the bulk of the American public's attention, some conservatives believe the Obama administration and Democrats' attempts to regulate the Internet deserves equal attention, given the grave threat they represent to free speech and conservatives' ability to organize and mobilize politically. During the last day the House was in session before leaving for its August recess, Rep. Ed Markey's staff introduced HR 3458, the so-called "Internet Freedom Preservation Act," which would essentially enable government control of the Internet, treating the networks as a government-managed utility. (For more information about "net neutrality," read this interview that one of the key "net neutrality" supporters gave to a Canadian socialist publication.) The Markey legislation is considered the last piece of what some conservatives consider to be Democrat and progressive attempts to control the Internet and limit citizens' ability to use the networks to organize and oppose their agenda. The bill was introduced the same week it was revealed that the Obama Commerce Department was demanding from the phone and cable companies highly detailed data about private citizens' Internet and broadband connections as part of plans of "map" broadband networks across the country. It was also revealed the White House had put in place a plan to collect email addresses of citizens who opposed the administration's health reform proposal, and then last week we learned that the Obama administration had negotiated deals with companies like Google and YouTube to collect and provide citizens' personal data, such as ... please continue "Nothing But Net Neutrality" . ” This is what it was like in December 1941.  The Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, invaded the Philippines, seized Guam, invaded Burma, sank American merchant ships, invaded Hong Kong, Germany declares war on us  ... .  JFC! Will  the slimy bastids ever stop coming?  These Obamunists are no different.  Maniacal hordes led by prick zealots whose mission in life is to destroy and dominate the United States.  It's not enough that God and Superman hate their guts, we have to do this ourselves. Again.

Dispatch from the front

AP writer criticizes Biden pick: Leftosphere explodes in outrage!

Doug Ross does heavy lifting on this, with quotes like this: MyDD: "If pure Republican spin and McCain talking points are what we are to expect out of the AP under Fournier, it's going to be a long hard slog full of truth squading between now and election day." (Because that's what the AP is known for -- pure Republican spin.) OMFG. Now I have to go find some coffee in this godforsaken place. Wait, and I should explain I'm in a hotel "media room" somewhere in east jesus, and it's 5:45 AM. A cleaning girl just came in and I asked her if there was coffee to be had. I bet you're way ahead of me here. Her response was "No habla ..." So I said, "then show me your tits." (I've always wanted to say that to someone). She grinned big, and said "ya." But didn't.
