VIDEO: Sean Hannity diverts millions from veterans and childrens charity Freedom Alliance

nospam@example.com (Newscat) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:50:00 -0700

There's very likely to be fire under this smoke. The story was broken by ultra-conservative blogger Debbie Schussel who is not in the habit of attacking other right wingers. As you'll see there is plenty of shameful evidence. Freedom Alliance was set up to raise funds through concerts for the best of reasons, sending children of fallen soldiers to college, and to support wounded veterans. The charity has brought in millions of dollars! The downside is that the millions have gone toward "expenses" for Hannity. This heartless, criminal Fox News block head is typical of those to whom millions of Americans tune in daily, representing all that is wrong in this country, entitlement, unbridled greed, and "I've got mine" even if I promised to help you." The brownie points he received, along with his greatly boosted income were excellent! Let's hope the fall on the way down is equally spectacular.

Who are the ones dying for no health insurance?

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:01:26 -0700

If you want to know what Republicans are thinking, listen to what The Klan is saying.

I have a question.

Of the 45,000 people who die each year for not having health insurance, how many do Americans think are black or Hispanic.

a) All
b) Almost all

I was watching Newt Gingrich who was responding to the annoying question, what has a Republican ever done for anyone?

Newt said that the biggest success was HIS Republican Contract on America that he and President Clinton working together to rid America of having to give poor women and children welfare. The most important thing Republicans accomplished, he repeated.

I have another question.

Of all the people on welfare in 1996, how many did Americans believe were black?

a) All
b) Almost all

And there you have the driving force of American politics since our inception...

Video: Stephen Colbert Does Glenn Beck some Social Justice

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:40:36 -0700

Guns for knives swap down at the elementry school! Gotta love it, so American.

Though this bit of satire is more generic to AM Radio than to Glenn Beck himself, it does get the the crux of the matter: "Social Justice" is THE code word for "Helping People." OMG!

Enter Father James Martin, one of those much hated "liberation theology" Catholic Priests, who here in America are even more reveiled than those who pork alter boys.

Liberation Theology is anthema to Republican Politics as it takes the form of all that bleeding heart do-gooding crap that American religion has no business in. It tries to help the poor and disposessed out of their misery in the HERE AND NOW rather than suffering their entire lives waiting for relief in the next world. Perhaps Liberation Theology could be best defined as to what it is not. A sucker bet.

Video: Stephen Colbert helps with your bent penis

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:15:13 -0700

Though bent penises are an important topic it just doesn't hit home for me. I think this may be because of the little discussed truth that women know far more about the outside world of wood than men do.

It is the second piece here that I can relate to as a sometimes computer consultant. I have found the hardest thing to do is explaining to my computer retarded fellows what a File is, or what Directory and Folders are. And of course the difference between memory and storage which will forever go blank in their minds.

But explaining FILES so often causes that blank look, or the more disengaged look out the window. In fact I have found trying it quite often generates so much anger that I feel lucky to escape the process without bloodshed. Answer: A file is some amount of computer code that has a name. With an extension that explains what KIND of code it is. Like .dll. Try explaining .dll to a newbie!

Video: Jon Stewart becomes Glenn Beck, Progress is Cancer

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 06:25:16 -0700

This piece of satire is destined to become a classic which will forever define Glenn Beck as the silliest clown to ever be given radio syndication or a show on network television. [Well other than Howard Beale who was fictional]. I found the only thing wanting in this great and grand sketch by Jon Stewart was a reference to the movie "Network".

"Go to your windows! Stick your head out and yell, I AM MAD AS A HATTER! WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! PROGRESS IS CANCER! SOCIAL JUSTICE IS MARXISM! ECONOMIC JUSTICE IS NAZISM!"

As you watch this as you try keep from falling out of your chair in snot-snorting delight please keep in mind two far more serious issues.

1) If there were not tens of millions of people who believe Glenn Beck's crap he would not be around. Yes indeed! Tens of millions of American are that mud dumb stupid. You can see them in the public square most every weekend with their ugly signs, stupid slogans, and angry nonsense. The Tea Party movement led not only by Glenn Beck but also, Dick Armey, Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint, Chillbilly Sarah Palin and my own Governor Rick Perry of Texas.

2) What Glenn Beck pushes is the covert heart of conservative ideology. Progress and equal justice are their enemy today just as they have always been when they advocated slavery, Jim Crow, child labor while fighting against women voting, unions, public education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, civil rights act, voting rights, evolution and now even standing against the life of the very Earth they live upon. It is the nature of the Beast.

Video: Daily show Jon Oliver sees the DARK and Joins the Tea Party

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:17:25 -0700

Late night comedians again take on the Right-wing nutcake (Ron Paul) Tea Party movement because the media is pooping in their pants afraid to do it themselves. It's not only that these people buy lots of Hostess, Frito Lay products and Carbonite, but many are also NRA LIFE MEMBERS* just aching to go postal. Be sure to watch this one to the end as it closes with the Checkoslovakia kicker! These Tea Baggers make up in ignorance for what little they lack in ugliness.

*NRA LIFE MEMBER - Those whose most important mission in LIFE is waving their guns around for all to see. For otherwise they would be invisible little gits.

"I got a gun it aint teenie it makes up for my little weenie." ANON

Video: Stephen Colbert fills out his Census Form, no missiles blow him up

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:54:58 -0700

Another good stab at the ugly Tea Party movement. This is only done by late night comedians as the media sees Tea Baggers only as pickup truck, beer and car insurance buyers rather than the Right-wing paranoid extremists they are. If you have any doubt about that watch this video, Video: Republican Tea Party mocks man with Parkinson's Disease. And please remember, the Tea Party is more about Ron Paul, Tom Trancedo and the NRA than it is airheads like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.

VIDEO Olbermann show: Michael Moore, the need for health reform

nospam@example.com (Newscat) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:00:00 -0700

Lawrence O'Donnell talks with Michael Moore, Academy Award-winning film maker, who is much loved as well as hated for showing the seamy side of American politics, corporations, banking, and now our desperate need for health care, a goal seeming within reach but ruined by the deep pockets of insurance companies, lobbyists, and our elected representatives who can't resist either one. The Republican resistance to bi-partisan cooperation has been the final nail in the coffin of millions of Americans if the bill passes in it's present form. Moore's most recent film "Sicko" has brought him even closer than his initial investigation, as Americans email him daily telling him their stories of how the lack of health care, or abuse from insurance companies has ruined lives, families, and caused thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Video: Republican Tea Party mocks man with Parkinson's Disease

So what's new? Rush Limbaugh did the same to Michael J. Fox a few years back, but then as we all know, Rush Limbaugh's character doesn't quite reach Mr. Fox's instep.

You can actually feel the ugliness emanating from these Republicans. The young man in the shirt and tie throwing the money in the face of this sad individual is bad enough, but the man holding the baby and laughing is disgusting. Gonna bring that kid up with good Christian American values!

This reminds me of years back when there was a short lived movement for volunteerism and community service. There was a national day set aside in the City of Brotherly Love to push the idea. It was attended by not only President Clinton and the First Lady, but George H and Barbara Bush, Colin Powell and so on. The Freepers (freerepublic.com) organized a protest and descended upon the area in their white shirts and red ties much the same as these Tea Baggers chanting "communism!", "Marxists!", "Socialists!" and so on. Ugly ugly people. Good to see PALIN shirts in the background as these Republicans harass a sick man and a black man. It is the nature of the Beast.

Republican toadies against Miranda and Due Process

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:03:39 -0700

Attorney General Eric Holder is before Congress having to defend Due Process to some Republican toadie on some panel making the party talking points ad nauseum.

It's not just about Miranda, or that lawyers who defend terrorists are no better than the terrorists themselves, or even trials hidden away at military bases under strange law. Rather it is the entire concept of Due Process, Equal Justice and Rule of Law at stake. 300 years of progress in this country making our legal system more fair and equitable no matter ones chance of birth.

But these days "progress", "equitable" and "fair" are aspects of Marxism, communism, socialism and even nazism to the GOP.

Watching Eric Holder reply to some Republican toadie with a poop in his diaper over Osama Bin Laden given a Miranda warning, I realized the flaw in our system. Sure giving Bin Laden Miranda warning wouldn't change a thing, nor as Holder pointed out, will Bin Laden ever make it that far alive. But after stating those facts, Holder should have told this trembling in his boots, scaredy cat, pants peeing Republican toadie...

"We in this country give these terrorists Due Process like anyone else because we are better than them." [then a penetrating look directly at the Republican toadie to continue] "Well some of us are better than them are anyway."

If that kind of straight talk were allowed not only in Congress but by the Media when having to suffer the endless repetition of Republican Talking Points, that whole Gingrich Revolution crap would never have happened and we wouldn't be running scared from the Republican toadies ever since. So, is toadies suppose to be capitalized?

Video: Jon Stewart Assumes Corporate Rights, its only fair

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:46:54 -0700

What with the recent activist conservative Supreme Court decision giving corporations the same rights as individuals (so they can personally help pour more money into our system of corporate bribery) Jon Stewart assumes that would mean individuals have the same rights as corporations. In perhaps the most well written and explained political lesson in Daily Show history, Jon Stewart takes the premise down the line into the silliness this crazyass Supreme Court is taking us. I was thinking that this decision means corporations as individuals then have the right to bear arms, and as they are so much bigger than I am, they can have 16" cannons, Cruise missiles, and even Christ-all-mighties [transcontinental ICBMs with multiple head hydrogen bombs] On they trucks. Right? There is a big problem with this video though...

Two Thirds of Republican incomes goes to Taxes

nospam@example.com (Rack Jite) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:07:40 -0700

Watching the MSNBC show Mornin' Joe Monday I saw that crazy and always wrong economic pundit Jim Cramer say that he worked through September just to pay taxes. Florida Pan Handle x-congressman Joe Scarborough responded that since moving to New York he pays 2/3 of his income in taxes. He went on to say it is the same in Connecticut, Rhode Island and so on. A few of the other regulars and guests nodded their agreement. You know what this means of course. It is STATES who are going bonkers on taxes not the federal government! States Rights to Tax yer ass to death is what they stand for hey?

We just finished doing our taxes. Adding it all up, including property, sales, state, federal, fines, tolls, licensing, and SS we payed 29% in taxes on about $100k. It has been about the same as far back as we can remember. Texas has no state tax, the average is 5%, so I will add that, 34% for all taxes.

So I must assume that New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and so on have state income taxes of over 30% to arrive at more than 2/3 of their income going to taxes. Right?

How do these Republicans come up this crap when we are the least taxes nation in the civilized world? It would seem from Republican math the rest of the civilized world has no income at all.

I think this is how they manage this very big lie of theirs. They add up the rates without deductions. But let me know if you have a better answer.

Federal taxes for Republicans $250k = 37%
Sales tax = 8%
State income tax = 10% (avg is 5%)
Property tax 2%
Social Security - Self Employed 13% (though not a tax they can call it a payroll tax)

And there it is! 70%! Work through September for THE MAN.

VIDEO Douche Bagger Bunning blocks again, over banned Canadian flavor cigarettes

nospam@example.com (Newscat) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:21:00 -0700

Canada is undoubtedly LOLROF'ing today, thanks to Sen. Jim Bunning R- Mars. Bunning as you may recall, blocked the extension on unemployment benefits, among other things, because he could. Today, he is halting the heavy duty nominations of the Assistant Treasury Secretary, Chief Agriculture Negotiator, and The Ambassador to World Trade Organization, over candy flavored cigarettes, not ours - Canada's, which happen to be banned, and I thought...none of our business.
