The Left’s inhumaninty keeps rearing its ugly head [dicentra]

1. Wonkette, believing that the government took a baby from a couple in part because the father was a member of Oath Keepers, think it’s hilarious.

2. Despite the high rate of debilitating injuries, feminists refuse to call cheerleading a sport (thus helping to ban certain dangerous moves) because of Title IX implications and because they hates them some femininity:

    – Hey now. If it’s a Democrat making the statements, no matter how fucked up, you gotta stand in defense.

    – For the Sistah-hood. I mean, abortions don’t grow on tree’s yah know.

    Jerry Brown didn’t call her a whore it was something some other guy suggested cause of how Meg is such an easy lay for the unions what Jerry Brown is also a whore for.

    It’s California.

  4. Zbynek Michalek says:

    That’s me !

  5. Bob Reed says:

    Jerry was down with casting her as a whore happyfeet, he just was planning on using more polite terms is all.

    And what would be happening if the same audio clip had surfaced of a male conservative using the same verbage? I think you now where NOW would be coming down on that issue.

  6. happyfeet says:

    this is definitely powerful evidence that NOW is hypocritical and partisan

  7. Oathfinger says:

    The Father sure kept his oath to beat the shit out of his wife. A lot.

    Yes, the inhumanity of those people.

  9. LBascom says:

    I’m glad nobody secretly taped me where I didn’t know I was talking to anyone other than the couple of guys I thought I was.

    I think between this and the guy that jumped off the bridge, we should all assume everything that we say and do, whether in private or not, can and will be held against us in the court of world opinion. Watch yourself.

    Hey, did you guys hear about the government vans that can see through the walls of your house? It’s a brave new world…

  10. LTC John says:

    I’m going to presume AJB had some sort of obtuse point, somewhere, that didn’t really address the post. I did that without much effort, you see.

  13. bh says:

    Yes, NOW hypocrisy.

    Towards the issue itself, does anyone know if it’s true that Whitman agreed to exempt police unions from the necessary pension reform? Did this win her their endorsement?

  14. bh says:

    Don’t necessarily trust the LA Times but here‘s there reporting:

    With frustration, Brown discussed the pressure he was under from police unions to pledge not to reduce public safety pensions. Months earlier, Whitman agreed to exempt public safety workers from part of her pension reform plan: the bid to enroll new government workers in 401(k)-style plans instead of pensions.

    Is this true?

  15. pdbuttons says:

    so i was a waiter in the early 80’s and this couple used to come in every friday night and got thems tuffs shrimp scampi but i fucked up her order and she bitched and moaned- and as i went thru them swinging doors-that seperate kitchens from calm- i kept pleading to the cook/ whose name was sean and he had buddy holly glasses on his face/ i was like- dude- u gotta get my shrimp scampi up..
    and everytime i passed her table with platters destined for other folks
    she would be all acerbic- calling me “fag”- “busboy” “do the trains leave on time?”- she was actually quite funny
    so i’m sorry for thinking about mastrabating in her food..[which i did not!}
    but i did piss on the seats of the womens room that night

  16. bh says:

    their reporting

  17. happyfeet says:

    here’s her plan straight outta her own mouf… it seems likely she cut a deal but it’s not clear

    We have an obligation to both taxpayers and government workers to find a solution that will guarantee the solvency of the state’s pension fund without requiring higher taxes. We must raise the retirement age for non–public safety workers from 55 to 65. We must require state employees to contribute a larger portion of their salary to help pay for their retirement benefits. We must extend the vesting period, and we must bring new government workers in under a different deal where they receive a defined-contribution retirement plan similar to the 401(k) plans that most taxpayers have.

  18. pdbuttons says:

    vengeance is a dish best served cold

  19. Swen, oversexed heathen black Norwegian says:

    In other news Regis gets some overdue respect!

    Jay Della Valle, the 31-year-old chairman of the American Mustache Institute and director of a documentary about the hipster mustache trend, agrees. “John Bolton wouldn’t even be John Bolton without his mustache,” he said. “It’s his secret weapon.”

  20. bh says:

    If you read that literally, it only says they’re exempted from an increase in the retirement age. It doesn’t say whether or not they’d keep their pension system or if they’d need to enroll in a quasi-401(k) plan.

  21. bh says:

    Actually, it doesn’t even say that existing workers would need to move to the quasi-401(k) plan, it just says new workers.

  22. Abe Froman says:

    Yes, the inhumanity of those people.

    Local Fox stations have nothing to do with Fox News, dummy.

  23. happyfeet says:

    “New government employees, not public safety employees but new government employees beyond the public-safety realm, are going to have to come on under a different deal,” Whitman said at a campaign event earlier this year. “They’re going to have to come in under a 401(k) program, what we call a defined contribution program, as opposed to a defined benefit program, and this will get us a long way home towards reducing this huge unfunded pension liability.”

  24. bh says:

    Looking at her website, the details are scarce but it seems to be saying that “public safety workers” wouldn’t have their minimum retirement age increased. They aren’t exempted from the increase in contributions or from new hires going into a separate defined contribution system.

  25. happyfeet says:

    that’s what she wants you to think bh it’s one of her whore tricks

  26. bh says:

    I stand corrected. Her website doesn’t spell it out very well.

    Has anyone asked her to justify why “public safety workers” have been exempted from the reforms?

  27. pdbuttons says:

    my aunts close friend came over on thanksgiving to prepare her special “soup dynamo’
    but then we found hairs in it and we killed her- straight out”
    cuz appetizers should not have dental floss in them

  28. bh says:

    Well, I’m not going to call her a whore but she is a politician. Unless someone asks and receives a satisfactory answer for the disparate treatment, it’s not exactly crazy to assume it’s a simple political quid pro quo.

  29. pdbuttons says:

    a whores just a stranger u haven’t met yet

  30. pdbuttons says:

    a politician is just a guy or gal that will shake ur hand and be all earnest and u comply/ cuz of the media spotlight/and then when the lights are off/ u run wee wee wee-all the way home..

    do i have obssesive compulsive disorder?
    can u help me?
    let’s shake on it

  31. dicentra says:

    AJB misses the point (I know, startling!), which is that the Left doesn’t see people not on their team as human. And that it’s to the point where they don’t know to hide it anymore.

    Also see the exploding children video.

    And now refer back to George Bernard Shaw, who has yet to be denounced by following generations for the monster who first proposed the gas chamber as an instrument of eugenics:

    We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living… A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people’s time to look after them.

    [And on another occasion] [We should] appeal to the chemists to discover a humane gas that will kill instantly and painlessly. Deadly by all means, but humane not cruel…

    Look, he said it should be HUMANE. And he was terribly clever and could express these things in the gentlest of terms:

    You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence?

    If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight, and since you won’t, if you’re not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.

    He was very much down with the early 20th century’s butchers:

    Mussolini… Hitler and the rest can all depend on me to judge them by their ability to deliver the goods and not by… comfortable notions of freedom.

    And if the Nazis should cross the channel into England?

    Welcome them as tourists.

    This man is still being read and taught in literature and theater classes, and no mention is made of what an awful person he was.

  32. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “Welcome them as tourists.”

    – Churchill was reported to have responded to hearing of Shaw’s comment by saying in private:

    – “Dead tourists aren’t likely to spend very much while on vacation.”

    – Two of his least favorite people were Shaw and Old man Kennedy.

  33. dicentra says:

    Adding to the collection: Conservative women are worthy of the vilest of dehumanization and sexual slurs.

    Because we’re not real women. What that makes us, I don’t know, but it ain’t anything human.

    Rep. Janis Sontany (D-TN): “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote!”

    Alternet: “Sarah Palin’s Mama Grizzlies are merely the latest incarnation of the anti-women’s movement — a movement to oppose real solutions for women, dressed up in a skirt and lipstick, as if to legitimize their efforts to block progress.”

  34. happyfeet says:

    Meg Whitman is not a conservative woman.

  35. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – dicentra – I would bet a lot of these talking heads don’t believe a word of this Progressive crap, but they do know which side their bread is buttered on. After you practice a speech long enough it becomes like breathing, where conscious reasoning and logic have no bearing on the actions involved.

  36. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Something like feets, and his obsessing on Palin.

  37. dicentra says:

    I would bet a lot of these talking heads don’t believe a word of this Progressive crap

    Given that Progressivism is essentially, “You ought to be in charge, you magnificent creature” yes, they do believe it, and dehumanizing their opponents is the natural consequence of this acquired narcissism.

    The behave exactly like the Mean Girls cliques in high school who pick their target, freeze it, personalize it, and hope to drive Teh Enemy to kill itself from sheer despair.

  38. newrouter says:

    meg whitman is a cupcake

  39. Ric Locke says:

    I don’t see anything in Whitman’s statements that would exempt “public safety workers” from anything except the retirement age changes. The LA Times wouldn’t distort a Republican candidate’s statements to give Democrats something to attack, would they? Naaah, Nevah happen.

    As for the retirement age business, I can see valid reasons for that. I know damn well that I no longer have the reflexes or the strength to do most cop, fireman, or EMT work, and I’m not even 65 yet. Besides, the longer people stay in law enforcement the more they seem to come together as a club, to the exclusion of the “civilians”. If we can get them out before that totally crystallizes, we’ll profit as a society even if it costs cash up front, just like building roads.

    Regards,
    Ric

  40. bh says:

    How do you read the statement from #24 then Ric?

  41. bh says:

    I read it as a direct statement that their new hires will be exempted from the new quasi-401(k) program as well as all of them being exempted from the retirement age increases.

  42. Lazarus Long says:

    “- Two of his least favorite people were Shaw and Old man Kennedy.”

    And DeGaulle. Don’t forget DeGaulle.

  43. Ric Locke says:

    “New government employees, not public safety employees but new government employees beyond the public-safety realm, are going to have to come on under a different deal,”

    I don’t even see any ambiguity.

    All new hires, including public-safety workers, will go into a defined-contribution plan. New hires other than “public safety workers” will also get a later retirement age.

    Regards,
    Ric

  44. newrouter says:

    All new hires, including public-safety workers, will go into a defined-contribution plan. New hires other than “public safety workers” will also get a later retirement age.

    tough to retire at 45-55 when you can’t withdraw out of your 401k til 57 1/2

  45. bh says:

    See, I read that as them being excluded.

  46. bh says:

    “New government employees, not public safety employees but new government employees beyond the public-safety realm, are going to have to come on under a different deal,”

    From that same link, it certainly sounds like the head of the union that endorsed her thinks they’d be exempted from the defined contribution plan.

    “Her early embrace of the anti-public-employee rhetoric and proposal for 401(k)s as a panacea for what ails the state’s retirement obligations concerned us deeply. But her famous talent for being a quick study has tempered that to where she now understands that public employees are not one lumpen mass, but that some, like our members, pin on badges, put out fires, answer 911 calls, and investigate and inspect the worst of crimes. She informed the CSLEA Board that she now sees the value in keeping defined-benefits retirement for public safety employees.”

  47. bh says:

    Sorry, my mistake, he’s not the union chief, he’s the president of the association.

  48. donald says:

    Um, South Carolina just kicked Alabama’s ass. Whoa!

  49. bh says:

    Okay, here‘s a report from one of her speeches:

    Whitman favored raising the retirement age from 50 to 55 for current and new public safety employees and from 55 to 65 for non-safety state workers. Current workers also would have to contribute more to their retirement and more time would elapse before they were vested in the pension system under her proposal. Moreover, new non-safety workers would not take part in the pension program but rather in a 401(k) plan. Such plans, common in private companies, generally guarantee a specific contribution by the employer but not a specific benefit to the worker.

    My bold.

  50. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “Given that Progressivism ….”

    – Just as a matter of general interest, what percentage of woman voters do you guess is that cynical.

    – I can recall in various levels of school those sorts of clicks were rather smallish, unless the mindset took hold and infected the student body as a whole, in which case bad things usually led to school officials stepping in and taking steps.

  51. Darleen says:

  54. Ric Locke says:

    #50 bh: that’s the one I was actually working from.

    So, she got in an interview, tried to simplify down to something shorter, and left out a qualifier. The LAT picked the version Democrats could most easily demonize, and happyfeet went off his meds.

  55. bh says:

    Dan Webster is up in that race.

    It’ll be nice to get rid of that lunatic.

  56. AJB says:

    Maybe the teabaggers will stop just pretending?

  57. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Unfortunately nowadays in society, we don’t seem to have any natural selection process for weeding out the opportunistic soul eater/narcissistic bully crowd. In the past its was pretty much group rejection/ridicule from their peers that did the trick.

  58. newrouter says:

    Maybe the teabaggers will stop just pretending?

    national health care was a big thing with the national socialists

  59. bh says:

    I’d be interested in knowing if that’s the case, Ric. If anyone knows the definitive answer, please advise.

    The policy shift for endorsement angle isn’t exactly shocking but I’m trying to think what percentage of state employees could fall under “public safety”. I can imagine it being a decent slice.

  60. newrouter says:

    ajb is a whore cause ajb does a bj for free

  61. newrouter says:

    I can imagine it being a decent slice.

    like 100% because they work for gov’t and that’s their mission.

  62. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Sure AJB, and anyone who dares to study any Fascist history, including the history of the Fabian group that your movement came out of, as Fascist as any org could ever be, should be drawn and quartered.

    – Let us know when you’re ready to be executed.

  63. newrouter says:

    “mission”

  64. happyfeet says:

    I don’t even care about her stupid pension plan I was just trying to help Mr. bh. I think Meg is plenty whorey for opposing Prop 23 and for how her foundation bankrolls the Environmental Defense Fund. And for co-chairing Meghan’s coward daddy’s campaign.

    And for other stuff too but that’s a good start.

  65. pdbuttons says:

    when salma hayek says “pull” and i throw stuff up in the air and she shoots it splat
    and then points her smoking barrel at me- is there a happier planet i want to be on?[please don’t disrespect ms hayek}

  66. geoffb says:

    I analogize to (federal level) as Military are to Civilian employees so (State level) Public Safety are to non-Public Safety employees. Of course what definition of “Public Safety” employee they are using affects this as I am using Police and Fire only. Yes it is a political decision but it can be defended if “Public Safety” has a rational definition.

  67. happyfeet says:

    also she opposes the oil drillings.

    she tarded.

  68. newrouter says:

    for opposing Prop 23 and for how her foundation bankrolls the Environmental Defense Fund

    do some cupcakes have watermelon flavoring

  69. newrouter says:

    if “Public Safety” has a rational definition.

    in california?

  70. happyfeet says:

    you want you can use watermelon pudding filling

  71. bh says:

    I can see that on the minimum retirement age, Geoff, but I don’t understand why anyone should be exempted from moving to a defined contribution program. California doesn’t even have the money to exempt their current employees let alone excluding any new hires.

    In a way, it’s a basic test of seriousness.

  72. winston smith says:

    I’m not going to begrudge the 90K a month advice, that Mike ‘Iceberg’ Murphy gave Whitman, Brown has practically every union in his pocket, including the ACORN one,

  73. bh says:

    Just to mention the obvious, no one in the private sector will be exempted from economic reality.

    As usual, AJB is engaging in propaganda of the highest order…

    Here AJB, you dishinest piece of shit, take it from one of your own…

    http://althouse.blogspot.com/2010/10/witch-whore-nazi.html

    I was very far into the position of thinking man, this guy should not have been the candidate, what a screw-up for the Republicans when I got to this information — buried at the end of the 13th paragraph of the 15-paragraph article:

    [Iott] added that he has participated in re-enactments as a Civil War Union infantryman, a World War I dough boy and World War II American infantryman and paratrooper.

    What?! Green should be ashamed of himself for minimizing this. The 13th paragraph is about follow-up email with Iott. Did Green have the whole damning article written when he encountered this crucial piece of information? And then he decided — what? — to stick it where it’s least likely to be read? A decent journalist would have ascertained how many war reenactments Iott has done and which roles Iott played in them. What is the proportion of Nazi roles he assumed compared to the number of times he played WW2 American infantrymen or paratroopers? Who decides, when war reenactments are done, which side somebody plays? Give me a realistic picture of what participation in war reenactments is really like so I can assess what Iott did.

    Instead, Green’s article is filled out with the well-known information that the Nazis were bad and that Jews and others are offended by signs that a person is sympathetic to Nazis. It’s pretty obvious that Green is hot to smear Iott and help the Democrat in the race. And, unsurprisingly, the Democratic blogosphere welcomes Green’s hearty slab of biased reporting.

    Yeah AJB, that’s the notorious effin’ reich-winger Ann Althouse! Law School professor and, like, former-of-Brooklyn liberal. Oh you all try and call her a conservative, but very much like my lovely wife she’s an old-school Democrat. You know, the ones y’all communists ran out of the Democrat party when the messiah came along.

    You sniveling drive-by bitch, why don’t you just stay away.

    And to the normal commentariat, pardon my profanity.

  77. geoffb says:

    I myself don’t see why any employee wouldn’t want defined contribution rather than a defined benefit plan. The main beneficiary[ies] of defined benefit seems to be whatever entity gets to control the (slush) fund that the money is poured into. That power goes away with a defined contribution plan and that is the real opposition.

  78. newrouter says:

    public safety can define a dmv clerk. define thus “front line police, fire emt people(grade whatever)” not their idiot bosses

  79. happyfeet says:

    Ann Althouse is smart and pretty.

  80. Bob Reed says:

    And for co-chairing Meghan’s coward daddy’s campaign.

    I sense that before you had picked specific issues, this was probably enough to make her persona-non-grata in your book.

    Would you prefer Jerry Brown? Is it a case where California will fail anyway, so Jerry may as well be the steward of that failure?

  81. pdbuttons says:

    i don’t want salma hayeks high heeled boots to kick my door down..

  82. happyfeet says:

    Yes it’s partly a case that Team R doesn’t need to own California’s fail I don’t think… but Meg is welcome to be the next governor just I won’t vote in that race.

  83. Entropy says:

    Is it really the place of the government (and presumably, the federal government) to ban cheerleaders from doing dangerous backflips?

    Seriously?

    Hey – they should probably stop doing that shit. Seriously – cut it out. In fact, stop giving them trophies altogether. If it’s a sport (which it’s not, but whatever), it should operate strictly within it’s own venue… You don’t see the Water Polo team trying to flood the field during half time. They don’t try to play hockey during the 7th inning stretch. Get the aerial acrobatics/gymnastics the hell off the football fields and basketball courts.

    But.. the solution here is for the feds to step in and pass a law?

  84. Bob Reed says:

    Very much like the car companies and the UAW, for years California politicians willingly agreed to any collective bargaining agreement put before them, rather than be seen as “anti-union”. The real problem is that they promised something they never could deliver.

    Just like the MBA wizards-of-smart on Wall Street were shocked, SHOCKED!, when those securities they bought, with interest rates that were too good to believe and based on mortgages written to folks that couldn’t repay them, defaulted, so too were the good Keynesians who always thought that they’d “grow thier way” out of thier mounting unfunded obligations.

    Social Security is the same folks…

  88. Darleen says:

    Is it really the place of the government (and presumably, the federal government) to ban cheerleaders from doing dangerous backflips?

    No. But if cheerleading were a sport under the auspices of any Sport Federation, they could issue regulations … just like there are lots of dangerous things in football you can’t do.

  89. Bob Reed says:

    winston,
    Are you saying they should vote for the bearded Marxist instead?

    Interesting choice of metaphors there happyfeet. You may be right also, but I fear as to whether our country can deal with the fallout from a full-on California fail.

    And you never know, all those Californians might invade, of, say, Texas and ruin it!

  96. LBascom says:

    “Meg Whitman is not a conservative woman.”

    I will second that opinion.

    From #17:” We have an obligation to both taxpayers and government workers to find a solution that will guarantee the solvency of the state’s pension fund without requiring higher taxes.”

    What’s she saying is we got a problem with employee compensation, yep, we really need to think on that one. But next time we hire someone, we won’t fall for that kinda deal again. No-sir-ee.

    I don’t think the dress is going to help, Mrs. Whitzenegger.

    Whitman does not have a solution to California’s problems, at least not any of the ones a hundred million four personal check won’t fix.

    – Compromise is over-rated. Better to carry a big stick and hold to your principles.

    – For years we’ve been conciliatory, hoping to bring intelligent debate and solve issues with a stubborn unyielding absolutist attitude from the Left.

    – We need to start causing all sorts of consternation and escalate issues as much as necessary until the snakes crawl back in their holes.

    if cheerleading were a sport under the auspices of any Sport Federation

    If gymnastics is a sport, and it is, then there’s no reason cheerleading couldn’t be a subset of the tumbling/gymnastics type of sport.

  100. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – I’ve never really understood why it isn’t di, unless the two factions jealously refuse to join ranks. Maybe the school system should just mandate such a merger once and for all. As it stands, cheerleading seems to be an orphan of a sort, outside the normal sports venue and regulations, and therefore has issues that are necessary it would seem.

  101. Big Bang Hunter says:

    *necessary* should be *unnecessary and avoidable*

    Maybe the school system should just mandate such a merger once and for all.

    maybe gov’t is the prob

    OT, Natalie Zea is on that Defender show, the one from “Justified” if I wasn’t clear.

  104. Big Bang Hunter says:

    “maybe gov’t is the prob”

    – Isn’t it almost always.

    – One of the chief responsibilities of the school system it to protect the welfare and health of the student population, and that extends to sports federations if they adopt the position of regulatory authority. One of the few legitimate functions pf any governing body, when they in fact do it.

  105. newrouter says:

    In this spirit it may be remarked, that the equal vote allowed to each State is at once a constitutional recognition of the portion of sovereignty remaining in the individual States, and an instrument for preserving that residuary sovereignty. So far the equality ought to be no less acceptable to the large than to the small States; since they are not less solicitous to guard, by every possible expedient, against an improper consolidation of the States into one simple republic.

    Another advantage accruing from this ingredient in the constitution of the Senate is, the additional impediment it must prove against improper acts of legislation. No law or resolution can now be passed without the concurrence, first, of a majority of the people, and then, of a majority of the States. It must be acknowledged that this complicated check on legislation may in some instances be injurious as well as beneficial; and that the peculiar defense which it involves in favor of the smaller States, would be more rational, if any interests common to them, and distinct from those of the other States, would otherwise be exposed to peculiar danger. But as the larger States will always be able, by their power over the supplies, to defeat unreasonable exertions of this prerogative of the lesser States, and as the faculty and excess of law-making seem to be the diseases to which our governments are most liable, it is not impossible that this part of the Constitution may be more convenient in practice than it appears to many in contemplation.

    Oh, you guys are funny. “a conversation with advisors in which someone calls Whitman a “whore.” Not Jerry Brown, but someone he was talking to. But that’s the same thing, right? Here we go again. If you knuckle-dragging conservatives have all the right answers, why do you insist on lying so much? After Breitbart spread his Shirley Sherrod lie, you apes were hooting and clapping in approval, screeching that “it don’t matter if it’s true, it matters that the Left got angry!” About a week ago, there was a fake article posted here about “Obama’s psychological breakdown.” One of your leaders even slurred “it don’t matter if it’s fake, the important thing is that it’s out there.”

    Honestly, guize, why all the dishonesty? Ain’t you dunderheads ever read them there 10 commandments?

    Republicans have no idea of personal responsibility. They project it onto people, but they have no idea how to live their lives if they were left to their own devices. They think they know what life is about but have no idea what freedom really means, or are scared by the proposition because they would have to deal with other people’s freedom, and they have to find reasons to justify this wholly irrational fear. Republicans are the living embodiment of pissing-your-pants fear. There is nothing they don’t fear. They are cowards who think fear is unity.

    Simple answer? Republicans have no idea of personal responsibility. They project it onto people, but they have no idea how to live their lives if they were left to their own devices. They think they know what life is about but have no idea what freedom really means, or are scared by the proposition because they would have to deal with other people’s freedom, and they have to find reasons to justify this wholly irrational fear.

    B-B-But Willie, remember when you were furious about McCain’s “bomb Iran” song? You said it revealed his warmongering mindset.

    And how you shit your pants when Ronnie Reagan quipped that the bombers were on the way?

    Is it the alcohol dulling your recollections, or, you know, your impotent rage?

    You can do me if it’ll make you feel better.

  121. mcgruder says:

    Odd.
    Yelverton is borrowing stuff from Fark and comes Weird. He can’t even call us insults he dreams up.
    As a rule, he doesnt even have the brains to get that most of our efforts are designed to force reform of a stripe on the GOP.
    Nor, like a true liberal, does he have anything other than insults–no prescriptions, no examples from the hardy leftwing base stock.
    I bet its not even Yelverton.

    AJB’s link is hilarous. Im really not sure what is funnier–that the guy thought he was going to actually keep this in his closet, or that he isn’t a Nazi fanboy. As a former military historian, I am fascinated as to why Wiking, a division of Norwegian, Danish and some Swedish Nazis (or at least fanatical anti-communists).

    It would have been even riper had he done Charlemagne, which was the French Nazis.

  122. LBascom says:

    George Bush lied?

    Is he to be disbarred over it?

    Depends on what the meaning of is is…

    More plagiarism? Maybe the troll is Willie after all.

  129. LBascom says:

    Why in all natures universe would anyone pick Yelverton to impersonate?

    I mean, why not someone more respectable like, say, PeeWee Herman?

  130. Darleen says:

    I have to giggle … the Left is really so transparent; I decided to spend sometime on Twitter and wander through the Left side – when a leftist couldn’t answer my questions I suddenly became an “old hag” and I responded “so any non-leftist woman is inauthentic” and the answer was

    “yes, I call inauthentic women inauthentic … and most inauthentic people skew right.”

    See, “skew right” lose your humanity!

  131. Ric Locke says:

    LBascom: Because it’s so easy!

    There’s the database of pre-programmed responses. Take an input, any input. Hash it to an index, grab the text, append a randomly-selected line from the “George Bush is a Poopyhead” file, and output. The algorithm that decides which ad you’ll see on ad-supported sites is ‘way more complex.

    – Well well, if it isn’t Willie “the plagiarist” Yelverton, from that insignificant little college in Tennessee, come once again to show his base ignorance in all things historical, or even worse, prove what a good little apparatchik he is for the collective by singing the lies of ‘teh narrative’ faithfully.

    – Say Willy, since your fearless leader, the golden Urkel Bumbblefuck, decided to follow the Bush/Cheney war plan to the letter, even using the same advisers and commanders, shouldn’t you and your fellow Marxists be out picketing the White House with signs like “Obama lied, babies died”.

    – I mean, if you don’t stand up against Obama’s warmongering the same way you did with Bush, people are just going to chalk you off as non-serious. Right?

  133. Darleen says:

    Funny. YES! Its better than that squirrel popping up in photos…

    * Remembering the nights you weren’t actually in Cambodia and….

    * Remembering your not feelings that Christmas when Nixon was the not president

    – Both not events have to be permenently ‘seared” into your memories.

    – Also you have to be incapable of finding your DDS-180, which isn’t easy to do when it takes a laborious 5 whole minutes to make out an application, even if someone named O’Neill offered you 100K to do it

    – I’m afraid You just wouldn’t make the grade.

  138. SDN says:

    You mean like your boy Clinton, and every Copperhead in the Congress, lied in 1998 when they made a law that “regime change in Iraq” was the law of the land? Of course, they were just flapping their bulldog mouths out of their Chihuahua asses; no one (including the terrorist supporter in Iraq) expected them to actually do anything.

  148. Bob Reed says:

    That’s intersting Yelverton,
    Especially coming from someone who generally has Baracky spunk dribbling from the corner of his mouth, and bruises on his chin from the won’s gonads banging off his chin…

    Classic lefty projection.

  154. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Poor, poor Willey, and his gaggle of brown shirt Lefturds. The Won has blind-sided them so completely they don’t know which lies to concentrate on anymore. “Teh narrative” is in mass confusion.

    – Bumbblefucks warmongering is killing those brown people 5 times faster than Bush ever dreamed of doing.

    – Has to really suck being wrong on everything, Even your own hand picked Light bringer.

    – Hey Willy, you better get to practicing your “Obama lied, Babies died” anti-war chants. After November 2nd that’s about all you asshats will have left.

  155. Yelverton says:

    I’m not attempting anything other than to bring some goddamned sense to you foaming ‘tards. Let Yelverton be thine light and thine inspiration. I’ll teach you to succeed, because all you do now is suck seed. I’ll teach your grandmother to suck eggs. I’ll make you be happy.

    In other words: yes. Thor is too drunk to operate even a home computer pretty much all of the time, now.

    Doesn’t stop him from trying, though.

    Why thor’s impersonating a guy who’s made most of his time here as a sockpuppet, though, is a question that he won’t likely recall the answer to when he sobers up. If he sobers up, I guess.
