Because Obama is NOT their happy slave like Bush was and that scares the living shmidt out of them

by: MinistryOfTruth

Thu Jul 22, 2010 at 19:55:10 PM CDT

This is CLASS WAR. This is it. The super rich and their corporations are more profitable than ever. They have robbed us. Their banks throw us out of our homes. They shipped your jobs overseas. They bankrupted our nation, and they want to lower our standard of living so they can increase their profits. The Corporatists who did this to you and your countrymen call themselves "Conservatives".

And only one man stands in their way. His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

They said he "palled around with terrorists"

They called him a "socialist"

They said a black guy beat up a white girl because Obama is black.

And still you voted for Obama instead of McCain. Still you rejected their failed and corrupt ideology despite their attempts to use fear, hate and lies to scare you into voting for the same stupidity that has decimated America since the year 2000.

The fact is, this is CLASS WAR, all out class war, and any Democrat, voter or candidate, who can not admit that has already accepted defeat.

"He's too BLACK to be President"

by: MinistryOfTruth

Wed Jul 14, 2010 at 22:23:50 PM CDT

Racism? Republican/Teabaggers aren't about racism?

Watch this video from thinkprogress.org, which is a compilation of footage from teaparties where white people are saying blatantly racist shit. And yes, shit is the correct technical term, but hate speech works too.

Need more proof of GOP/Teabagger racism? Go below the fold

Shep Smith lays smartest smackdown ever on BP's CEO "At least act like you care"

by: MinistryOfTruth

Mon May 17, 2010 at 21:25:51 PM CDT

Now here is a rant that would make Keith Olbermann jump up and shout "Hallelujah"

   After BP's CEO Tony Hayward told a British reporter "It's a relatively small leak compared to the volume of water in the gulf" and "Come on, this is America, there will be frivolous lawsuits.".

   Yeah, cause what's a few hundred million gallons of oil in the gulf? It's like saying, "So there is some urine in your tea, it's still tea! Drink up!"

   And thus begins Shep Smith in the smartest smackdown you may ever witness.

"McVeigh wannabes" promote Tea Parties, Glenn Beck on their website. Tell me about that Snark again

by: MinistryOfTruth

Fri Apr 02, 2010 at 13:30:59 PM CDT

 
    If you haven't heard about the 30 Governors who have received "Resign or else" threats, you might be interested to learn about this.

    The group, "Guardians of the Free Republics," wants to "restore America" by dismantling parts of the government, according to its web site.      
snip

    The website also promotes tea party protests, calls for revolution, videos from Glenn Beck, and sympathetic articles about recent right-wing domestic terrorist activities, like the suicide attack on an IRS building in Austin earlier this year.

I am rooting for the Republican party on this one

by: MinistryOfTruth

Fri Mar 26, 2010 at 14:05:17 PM CDT

My original title was "RW Shock Doctrine Pundits are dragging the GOP off a cliff, and America with them" but by the time I was done writing this article I had a change of heart. Please read further as I explain.

   Last night Glenn Beck continued on his Obama = Bomb throwing radicals schtick, because that is what he is and all he has. Despite alleged shootings at Republican campaign offices or death threats to Democratic members of congress Glenn Beck still stays at 11 because he apparently lacks a 1 through 10.

   Here is Beck commenting on Ed Shultz and asking if Progressives would "Kill us all" if Health Care didn't pass.

   Simply put, there is a battle between unaccountable RW pundits and Republican leaders who are accountable to the voters for control of their overlapping base, and I hope an adult steps up to the plate. For the first time in my life I am rooting for the Republican party on this one.

Screw rent! Ask Stupak if we should KILL our gays now or wait till later

by: MinistryOfTruth

Thu Mar 11, 2010 at 15:36:27 PM CST

Brought to you by PeanutButterPAC

I wonder if Fox News will pick up this diary?

   While I am very interested in the question of "Who paid Bart Stupak's rent? " I would also like to know who was paying the rent of his roommates. Some of those roommates were . . .

Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC)
Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC)
Senator John Ensign (R-NV)
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Rep Zach Wamp (R-TN)
Rep Mike Doyle (D-PA)

    Who wants to bet Fox asks Doyle about this but not DeMint, who is the front man for their Tea Party astroturfed Corporatist movement.

    But that is not the BIG QUESTION I want to ask Stupak and his Christian Mafia cult members. No, my question to them is . . .

    "Should we kill our gays now, or wait until later?"

GOP House Rep thinks Bush might have caused 9/11

by: MinistryOfTruth

Wed Feb 17, 2010 at 22:54:49 PM CST

    If Republicans and Fox News pundits were embarrassed about looking like birthers, loony bins and white supremacists, well, they just got a whole lot more to worry about.


    Recently, a truther organization called "We Are The Change" spoke to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) - a friend of (Glenn) Beck and a frequent guest on his show - about reopening an investigation into 9/11. Chaffetz agreed with the activist, and even noted that he had spoken to professor Steven Jones, leading 9/11 truther, who Chaffetz said had done "interesting work"

120% of public think climate scientists lie about global warming says Fox FAIL and Balanced News

by: MinistryOfTruth

Tue Dec 08, 2009 at 17:44:55 PM CST

     I thought mistakes at Fox would have consequences?

    Guess not.

    Last week, Fox and Friends showed a Rasmussen poll graphic revealing that a whopping 120 percent of the American public believes scientists may be falsifying research to support their own theories on global warming:

ThinkProgress.org

    Fox News' graphics department added together the "very likely" and "somewhat likely" numbers to reach 59 percent, and called that new group "somewhat likely." Then, for some reason, they threw in the 35 percent "very likely" as their own group, even though they already added that number to the "somewhat likely" percentage. Then they mashed together the "not very likely" and "not likely at all" groups, and threw the 15 percent who were unsure into the waste bin. Voila - 120 percent.

Glenn Beck Turns Down The Idea Of A Palin-Beck 2012 Ticket

by: Curtis Abbey

Thu Nov 26, 2009 at 15:00:11 PM CST

Beck wants the top of the ticket for himself.
From ThinkProgress

Transcript from Huffington Post
BECK: I don't think things are hoots. I don't. I don't think it's a hoot. I would never use the word hoot, and I respectfully ask that every time my name is brought up she would stop using the word 'hoot.' [...]

No, no I'm just saying -- Beck-Palin, I'll consider. But Palin-Beck -- can you imagine, can you imagine what an administration with the two of us would be like? What? Come on! She'd be yapping or something, and I'd say, "I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen."

O'Reilly Throws Temper Tantrum Because Hannity's Palin Interview Aired First

by: Curtis Abbey

Thu Nov 19, 2009 at 12:30:30 PM CST

h/t HuffingtonPost
The Wrap's Dylan Stableford reports that Sarah Palin has caused tension inside the halls of Fox News - namely, between its two biggest primetime stars, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.

Both hosts landed interviews with Palin, and both filmed their interviews Tuesday. But Hannity's is set to air Wednesday, while O'Reilly's will air in three parts: Thursday, Friday, and Monday nights.

Stableford quotes a Fox News insider as saying O'Reilly had a "hissyfit" over the fact that Hannity's interview with Palin would air first, so he released the following teaser of his Palin interview on his YouTube channel, a move Stableford characterized as "going rogue" and a "pre-emptive strike."


This is very middle school of them... it really shows how they've grown up in front of our eyes, from juveniles to adolescents, now they're just two raging bags of hormones with microphones fighting over who's girlfriend is the hunting lady who can't think good.

O'Reilly predicts Pelosi's MURDER in violent tea party, even Beck balks. "It's gonna get nasty"

by: MinistryOfTruth

Tue Nov 17, 2009 at 07:17:14 AM CST

     Sick Fux.


BECK: Last week, I head you say that - you were on with Dennis Miller. ... You two were talking about an insurrection coming.

O'REILLY: Tax revolt.

BECK: He used the word insurrection. And not in a comedic way.

O'REILLY: Yeah, tax revolt. I think people, when they figure out how badly they're going to get hurt in the next few years, there's going to be a tea party on taxes and its gonna get nasty. Nancy Pelosi's going to be bobbing up and down in the Boston Harbor.

    This statement appeared to be too much for Beck even, who replied, "Uh, I don't think that's necessary."
