Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week


[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The Republican Xerox Machine EDITION[/font]

Copy, paste. Sloppy haste. . .And Rand Paul is the one who got caught (1). In other news, the NSA has thin skin (5), Bobby Jindal is a corrupt liar (6) and George W. Bush supports the new Spanish Inquisition (9). Oh, and women have a new purpose in life according to Rush (10). And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means.

Remember this exercept from a 1988 Presidental Speech? Remember who said it?

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]"I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? [Then pointing to his wife in the audience] Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest?"

If you don’t remember, it was Joe Biden and the media fall out over his “plagiarism” led to his withdrawal of the 1988 Presidental Campaign. Republicans like to remind people of Biden’s “copying,” even though he cited Neil Kinnock as the source of his speech.

Let’s look at this year now. Another possible presidential candidate has been discovered to have copied and pasted. This year, it’s Rand Paul (R-Rug Doctor).

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]An entire section of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s 2013 book Government Bullies was copied wholesale from a 2003 case study by the Heritage Foundation, BuzzFeed has learned. The copied section, 1,318 words, is by far the most significant instance reported so far of Paul borrowing language from other published material. The new cut-and-paste job follows reports by BuzzFeed, Politico, and MSNBC that Paul had plagiarized speeches either from Wikipedia or news reports. The book was published in August 2013 by Center Street, a division of Hachette Book Group. In this case, Paul included a link to the Heritage case study in the book’s footnotes, though he made no effort to indicate that not just the source, but the words themselves, had been taken from Heritage.



Whoopsie. It seems that Paul is in a bit of trouble. He likes to copy things and pass them off as his own work. Apparently, fucking up the American government, sounding like an opportunistic scumbag and passing himself as a libertarian when he is nothing more than an authoritarian corportist isn’t good enough. So, he needs more.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On “This Week” Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., dismissed charges of plagiarism in his speeches and writing made in the last week, saying he was being “unfairly targeted by a bunch of hacks and haters” who he wishes he could challenge to a “duel.” “The footnote police have really been dogging me for the last week. I will admit that. And I will admit, sometimes we haven’t footnoted things properly,” Paul told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.” “In some of the other things that are now going to pop up under thousands of things I’ve written, yeah, there are times when they have been sloppy or not correct or we’ve made an error,” Paul said. “But the difference is, I take it as an insult and I will not lie down and say people can call me dishonest, misleading or misrepresenting. I have never intentionally done so.” “When I wrote scientific papers, I sometimes had statements with eight footnotes for one sentence. Is that what you want me to do for my speeches? If it’s required, I’ll do it,” Paul added. “But I think I’m being unfairly targeted by a bunch of hacks and haters. And I’m just not going to put up with people casting aspersions on my character.”

A few things:

01: Crying any more about the footnote police makes you look stupid. Any 7th grader writing a history essay knows about MLA footnotes, Rand. Just click the link and learn. But don’t copy and paste it. It would be wrong without citations.

02: Complaining about the “sloppy” work and being “insulted”. . . You’re an adult and a sitting US Senator. Grow some thicker skin, buddy. Or resign and go back to being whatever kind of Quack you are.

03: [b[When I wrote scientific papers, I sometimes had statements with eight footnotes for one sentence. Is that what you want me to do for my speeches?. Yes, welcome to being a member of the intellectual community. It’s called honesty. . .something you aren’t, nor are you part of the intellectual community. More like part of the lying troglodyte community.

Everyone has to thank [link”http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maddow-instead-of-apologizing-and-moving-on-rand-paul-is-melting-down-over-plagiarism-scandal/|Rachel Maddow] for bringing this to everyone’s attention. Turnabout is fair play. I mean, the GOP spent years trying to get an indictment against Ted Kennedy for Mary Jo Keopechne, against Hillary Clinton for Vince Foster, against Bill Clinton for a blowjob, against Obama for being Kenyan, Benghazi, Obamacare, being more handsome than them, being smarter and more sauve and anything else that Darrell Issa can think of. Hell, they tried to indict Murphy Brown for being a single TV mom and Murphy Brown is a fictional character.

Rachel isn’t telling up. And neither should anyone else. Expose these frauds what what they are. And when the heat is on, these frauds wilt like ice cream in the noon day summer sun. Because of his hatred of the “footnote police,” the Moonie Times dropped his op-ed submissions like a hot potato. No worries. . .another pathetic right wing turd factory picked him up.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Sen. Rand Paul's weekly column, axed from The Washington Times this week after plagiarism allegations, has already found a new outlet. The conservative media outlet Breitbart News announced on Wednesday that Paul, the Kentucky tea party favorite and possible 2016 Republican presidential contender, would become the newest contributor amid its recent "period of exponential growth." “We are pleased to add Senator Paul to our lineup of fearless, original thought leaders," said Larry Solov, CEO of Breitbart News. "Most of all, we think the fighting spirit he has become known for is a perfect fit for Breitbart News Network and reflects that of our founder, Andrew Breitbart.” Paul announced a "restructuring" of his office on Tuesday following the latest plagiarism allegation that he copied parts of a September column for The Washington Times. He said he and his aides would treat future Paul publications "like college papers" that footnote sources. He also has been accused of lifting parts of two speeches from other publications.

So, Paul’s missives went from the wingnut paper Washington Times to the wingnut website Breitbarf. Expect him to come out soon with a speech that starts “four score and seven years ago, my father set part over the horizon to form a new nation, conceived in liberty and telling us we have nothing to fear except fear itself.” Then he will hand out loaves and fishes, tell us that the peacemakers are blessed and finish by saying “aren’t there poorhouses people can go to” when asked about poverty and Obamacare.

But remember, footnote police. . .he wants a duel. He’s even ripping off Zell Miller and Aaron Burr.

This is the face of a man that wants to be president. A face the NJ Democratic Party passively supported in his re-election bid last week and the face of someone who wants his finger on the button.

The person he is yelling at is a teacher. . .the cause of all of society’s ills, problems and are just a bunch of lazy, overpaid, underworked, overvalues and oversexed parasites that drive Cadillacs on their $35,000 a year job.

And while Govenor Ship-ballast was yelling at this teacher, what was he saying to her? That he’s tired of “you people.”

What could have caused this crappy attitude from Governor Crisp Krispy? The power of a sign!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]

Wow. . .talk about an abusive sign. Republicans really hate it when someone points out how intellectually and morally bankrupt their policies are.

Not that Christie bullies people. . .well, he does. And when a bully gets called on it, they tend to lash out like Christie did to the teacher. Luckily, the teacher wasn’t deterred and wrote a letter explaining her position.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Dear Governor Christie, Yesterday I took the opportunity to come hear you speak on your campaign trail. I have never really heard you speak before except for sound bytes that I get on my computer. I don't have cable, I don't read newspapers. I don't have enough time. I am a public school teacher that works an average of 60 hours a week in my building. Yes, you can check with my principal. I run the after-school program along with my my classroom position. I do even more work when I am at home. For verification of this, just ask my children. I asked you one simple question yesterday. I wanted to know why you portray NJ Public Schools as failure factories. Apparently that question struck a nerve. When you swung around at me and raised your voice, asking me what I wanted, my first response “I want more money for my students.” Notice, I did not ask for more money for me. I did not ask for my health benefits, my pension, a raise, my tenure, or even my contract that I have not had for nearly three years. We got into a small debate about how much money has been spent on education. Too me, there is never enough money that is spent on education. To invest in education is to invest in our future. We cannot keep short-changing our children and taking away opportunities for them to explore and learn. As more money is required for state-mandated curriculum changes and high-stakes standardized testing, it is our children that are losing. Programs are being cut all over the state as budget changes are forcing districts to cut music, art, after-school transportation, and youth-centered clubs.

Sorry, Miss Teacher. You’re the problem. Christie is the solution and when “you people” accept that, this country will heal. Worthless teacher! How dare you not use children as a political prop like every Republican does? We all know you just want more money to by your second private jet. Think of the poor CEOs that can’t afford their own private island because you want more money for children. Selfish teacher.

BTW, she concludes her perfectly.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]What do “we people' want, Governor Christie? We want our schools back. We want to teach. We want to be allowed to help these children to grow, educationally, socially, and emotionally. We want to be respected as we do this, not bullied. BadAss Teacher, Melissa Tomlinson

Ms. Tomlinson, from one teacher to another. . .thank you! All of us in the trenches support and love what you did. Now, if the rest of us, and all Americans demanded this, maybe the owners of the country and the education deformers like Bill Gates, Eva Moskowitz and Michelle Rhee will be exposed for the frauds they are.

Don’t expect it, though. Too many people think teachers are the problem. Time to slash that education budget again, Chris. More money for prisons, less for school. Incarxerate, not educate.

You want to be president? You need to bully more people, son!

The fallout from the Great Republican “slimdown” continues (quoting Fixed Noise’s bullshit word).

Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Denial) has developed an interesting take on the shutdown. Because there was never a vote to shut down the government, no Republican wanted the government shutdown. According to Colorado Pol:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans, including a majority of Republicans, disapprove of the GOP-controlled House because of their behavior leading to the government shutdown makes this an especially noteworthy denial. In addition, polling shows growing personal vulnerability for Tipton in the wake of the shutdown. By repeatedly voting for resolutions tying operation of the government to conditions neither the Senate nor the President would ever accept, it is the judgment of most Americans that Tipton and his fellow House Republicans did indeed, repeatedly, "vote to shut down the government." Republicans demanded concessions in exchange for what the President and the public considered their basic fiduciary duties, and their choice to continue making such demands for two weeks after the shutdown is what prolonged it. It was only after the polls showed unrecoverable disaster for Republicans that they relented, ultimately passing a resolution with none of their demands.

See, that’s how it works for Republicans. No vote on the record, it didn’t happen. Never mind they voted 43 times to end Obamacare. Never mind Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz all saying they would shutdown the government and put the US into default to get Obamacare killed. Never mind that no one in Republican leadership stopped it. In fact, they passively encouraged it.

No. . .never mind that man behind the curtain. I am the Great and Powerful Odd. . .the one who says things I want to do, then denies it when the public looks at them like the pirates I am. That emblem on my shirt is a flag. . .whichever way the wind blows.

He’s baaaaaaack. Suspected car thief and arsonist Darrell Issa is back investigating Obama for whatever pants Obama wore last night. This time he wants to investigate the Obamacare website because he, like other Republicans, are angry it is not working 100% yesterday. Before, they wanted to kill it. Now they want to see it work but are angry it isn’t.

Camp demanded the information be turned over by Nov. 8. House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa (D-Ca) has also issued a subpoena in an attempt to force the Obama administration to release enrollment data. CMS administrator Marilyn Tavenner said Tuesday that the enrollment data would be released some time next week. The administration has refused to release any enrollment information thus far, saying that the data it has might not be reliable because of the federal website's problems during its opening month.

First of all, I need to admonish TPM. DARRELL ISSA IS NOT A D. . .unless “D” is short for dimwit, dickhead or douchebag. That’s a Fixed Noise type error.

Next. . .does this man have a life? Seriously. He will investigate Obama for using a different cologne. This guy sees conspiracies like Joe McCarthy saw Communist.

Maybe the country needs to start a fund raiser for the “Buy Darrell Issa a brain and a life” Fund. If the fund gets a nickel. . .give it to Issa. But demand a receipt. And change.

One of these days, President Obama will bring the NSA director and the National Security Advisor into the Oval Office, close the door, chew their asses out and then fire both! This agency has run amuck for far too long and their boss, The President, needs to reel them in,

Enter Dan McCall, a novelty item store owner that sells tasteless things that people find funny. Well, people don’t find them funny at the NSA. So, they mailed him a Cease and Desist Order, claiming misuse of government seals.

Other parodies say, “Spying on you since 1952,” and “Peeping while you’re sleeping,” the report said. Federal authorities claimed the parody images violate laws against the misuse, mutilation, alteration or impersonation of government seals, Judicial Watch reported. Mr. McCall removed the items from his website, but he also has filed a federal complaint claiming the government is violating his First Amendment rights...

Darth Cheney did this against www.whitehouse.org. And he, it and his toad David Addington got laughed out of court.

This is as stupid as when Fox News sued The Simpsons for making fun of them, known as the ass-suing-the-brain lawsuit.

Louisiana has a long history of corrupt politicans. It goes back a long way. Bobby Jindal (R-Howdy Doody) proves again that Republicans will kiss the ass of donors that give them lots of money, and then appoint their ne’er-do-well relatives to as a payoff for their campaign contribution. . .I mean bribe!

Bobby Jindal appoints to the dozens of boards and commissions in Louisiana: They agree with the governor's agenda. And they have contributed, often generously, to his campaign fund. At least 317 appointees, their families and their companies gave the governor's campaign more than $1.8 million in contributions in a four-year period that ended in 2012, according to a joint examination of campaign finance records by NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune and WVUE Fox 8 News. Their donations made up more than 13 percent of the $13.3 million Jindal raised in that period - a significant haul from a relatively small group among thousands of Jindal donors.

Nah. . .Howdy Doody wouldn’t do that. He’s a Republican. All for open government and transparency. All for rule of law and rising above corrupt. Surely, someone could come to his defense here.

Coincidental? I see. . .sort of like it is a the luck of the draw. I see. So, if one of his allies gives him $10 and another gives him $10,000, who do you think gets the government appointment?

This has to be illegal.

"We originally came out with a stern, 'You should not,' " Smith said. "We took a second look at it." Smith now recommends that people forgo their guns while they are performing their Neighborhood Watch duties. Smith said he could legally have dictated a ban, but he decided it was better to include people rather than to exclude them. "We want people to feel as though they are part of a movement," Smith said. "And it's smarter for us to say, listen, if you're going to be a part of it, you need to abide by the rules. And it's a voluntary organization and if you choose not to be a part of it, you don't have to be a part of it."

After getting thumped last election day, the teabaggers decided it’s time to move forward with the agenda that America is soundly rejecting. And where else does this happen more than in Texas.

President Obama went to Dallas to trump the ACA. . .and boy, did he get his ass handed to him. Protesters showed up to tell him what-three and what-for.

He held a sign referring to Benghazi. Chew, who said he has been unemployed for two years, said the Affordable Care Act won’t benefit anyone and those making minimum wage won’t be able to afford it. “They need to throw Obamacare off the table and just do away with it,” he said. “It’s like the middle class has been kicked out and the working poor has been established. It’s like the rich and the poor and the working poor.” Another protester, 78-year-old Frances Minkowitz, didn’t mince words on her sign with a call to impeach Obama that also alluded to Benghazi.

Snap! Speak power to trusth, 78 year old Frances Minkowitz. Scream it loud to all the protesters. . .all thousands of them that showed up to demand this Socialist, Fascist, Communist, Kenyan, Black Power Muslim be impeached and shipped back to his home.

In fact, thousands did show up. Just look at the photo below.

So, the tens of people that showed up protested. . .the media gives them everything and then the Occupy Movement gets little, if any, press.

That’s that damned liberal media again.

He’s baaaack. . .part 2. The turd that refuses to go down the toilet is back on the list.

AWOL McPlasticturkey has come out of from his little past-president bunker to help poor oppressed Christians everywhere convert those heathen Jews to the way of Christ. Inquisition. . .what a show! The inquistion. . .here we go!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Next week, former President George W. Bush is scheduled to keynote a fundraiser in Irving, Texas, for the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute, a group that trains people in the United States, Israel, and around the world to convince Jews to accept Jesus as the Messiah. The organization's goal: to "restore" Israel and the Jews and bring about about the second coming of Christ. Messianic Jews have long been controversial for Jews of all major denominations, who object to their proselytizing efforts and their message that salvation by Jesus is consistent with Jewish theology. Last year, Abraham Foxman, president of the Anti-Defamation League, told Politico that former Sen. Rick Santorum's appearance at an event hosted by another Messianic Jewish organization, the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, was "insensitive and offensive."

And Commentary magazine, which bills itself as a "conservative American journal of politics, Judaism, social and cultural issues," noted, "it must be understood that the visceral distaste that the overwhelming majority of Jews have for the Messianics is not to be taken lightly." Many Messianic Jews are Christians who have adopted aspects of Jewish ritual observance; others are Jews who share the Christian belief that Jesus is the Messiah. Asked about Bush's upcoming appearance at the Messianic Jewish Bible Institute (MJBI) event, Rabbi David Saperstein, the director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, said, "It's disappointing that he would give his stamp of approval to a group whose program is an express effort to convert Jews and not to accept the validity of the Jewish covenant." Foxman was traveling overseas and unavailable to comment.

Next on the agenda. . .spitting on Nelson Mandela, flipping off Gandhi and taking a crap on Cesar Chavez’s grave. Because nothing scream racist, fundie bullshit more than pretending to be Jewish only to show Jews how being Jewish is an affront to Christ, a Jew.

The logic makes my head burn. Bush comes back for this? Can’t he leave the country yet and get arrested for war crimes yet?

And Finally, Kaptain Krispy Kreme is back on the list. And this time, Mr. Three-Time-Divorced, Childless Scumbag Drug Addict has some rather choice words for women. You’re all abortion machines!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Limbaugh, who once called Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" because she expressed the belief that insurance companies should be compelled to cover birth control, has his gullet in a bunch over the way he feels that women have been "demeaned" by liberal policies. Yesterday, he said, Look at what are doing to women with their policies: They're demeaning them, they're turning them into nothing but abortion machines. There's so much that we could be doing to just fight back, but the Republican Party, even if they had all the money in the world right now, doesn't seem inclined to do any of this.

Yes, because women line up around the block for abortions. It’s a daily errand. Buy milk, go to work, meet friends, abortion, go home. Surely, Tonnage on Loan from God can’t take this any lower?

Stand corrected. There’s below the belt, gutter, sewer and Rush Limbaugh level. Guns to perform abortions. Is this man on dru. . .never mind.

See you next week.

Abortion is a procedure, not a product.

Person A uses a woman to perform the procedure "abortion", because either he or a person B has an interest in the result of that procedure.

Is that it? Are evil liberals demeaning women by using them to mass-produce dead fetuses?
