EarlG's reply there was not the last time he had to defend 'furriners' at DU:

EarlG Admin

1. Good question


I guess I'll go ban myself now.

See, it's all a plot to take over America by the Admins! The uberlibs at the Old Elm Tree were right! AAARGGH!

That might work. Then again, Abbott will call those repeating it racist. Twisted Repukes...

Would have to be introduced in such a way that they can't use ti against Wendy in our *cough* 'post-racial' America, you know.

Does Abbott bash Obama, and did he show up at the NRA convention down in Houston with the shooting dummies?

I saw that here on DU and was appalled. I did not grow up in such a commercialized milieau where such was tolerated, even at the low end of the spectrum. I don't recognize my home state anymore when I see what media has become there.

But then, it's not really Texas, it's national and now world wide for this filth. I hope that the connection with Nugent will cut deep, as he hasn't been rejected by the TX GOP. They are still running on their misogynist, racist and their anti-Latino and anti-emigrant propaganda.

But I'm wondering if minorities in Texas, as in other places, are suffering outrage fatigue over the non-stop attacks on their rights and dismissing of their views, even speaking out.

Keep letting us know how it's going down there, Gothmog, what Texas does will reflect the nation.

As Jon Stewart expresses here, they're looking for Daddy, er, Vladdy:

Jon Stewart Blasts Fox New’s Traitorous, Hypocritical Praising of Putin



On The Daily Show Thursday night, Jon Stewart ripped the Fox News network’s near-orgasmic love-fest with Russian President Vladimir Putin and pointed out the hypocrisy of the GOP propaganda channel calling Putin a “real leader” while referring to President Obama as a “dictator” for supposedly doing the same sorts of things.

Stewart asked, “What happened to these people as children that has enabled this love-hate relationship with authoritarian figures and the inherent cognitive dissonance that goes along with such a schism?”

Stewart also highlighted the embellished stories about Putin’s supposed toughness, mentioning the story about Putin shooting a tiger that had been trapped and put to sleep.

“For God’s sakes,” he said. “How, in a 24-hour news cycle, do you upgrade Putin from wrestling bears to tigers, anyhow? By tomorrow, it’ll be, ‘Putin once smacked the teeth out of a great white shark and made it blow him, while Barack Obama just sat there, wistfully, wearing Capri pants and a baby bonnet.”

He then mocked Sean Hannity for fawning over a picture of a shirtless “big, strong muscular” Putin riding a horse while President Obama is pictured riding a bike with a safety hat on.

That paragraph there:

Stewart asked, “What happened to these people as children that has enabled this love-hate relationship with authoritarian figures and the inherent cognitive dissonance that goes along with such a schism?”

It's all you need to know. Yup, comething went wrong, and they are determined to pass the dysfunction to the whole world.

Senator Obama said, 'There seems to be more love in the blue states.' Loving others in your

community equally makes you feel better. Where your heart is also where your money and time is.

Finally get equal pay through the law of unintended consequences. Those who don't get 'em, fake it!

That's the only thing the GOP has ever seen in the sexual department anyway.

Like Elaine in Seinfeld: 'Fake, fake... fake, fake, fake!'

Acting is one of life's survival skills. Just look at the tears of Boehner and Beck:

Do not miss this thread with a response by ProSense. Read hers and my reply to her:

From another excellent post by ProSense:

A poster explained why the 'Hard Left' turns Americans off progressive and liberal ideas, as Libertarians are presenting themselves as being in charge. So things are becoming clearer.

Well, by all means, let's have Russia run the globe! They've got catchy music, too:



Play that a few times until it sinks in ProSense and you will finally be one of the cool kids.


P. S. Awesome post.

I don't even bother to offer the facts, they don't want them. The pipeline was proposed in 2007.

Every single bill from 2009 on sent to Obama has tried to get Keystone fast tracked. He has resisted it every way he could.

The GOP and Koch brothers know he has, they rave about it on their sites for not approving it and being a wild eyed liberal enviro-nazi!!!

But the uber Lefties don't want to know that he has resisted, in the line of the most dangerous manipulation being applied to get him to do it. Ain't that just so interesting?

I have posted extensively on this with many links over the years when I read the abuse.

They never reply, never change their tune, just go to another thread to post the same lies and misrepresentations.


Just check what they Rec and post and you know what they care about. It's always the same old libertarian talking points, nothing more, or else the 'former' Republicans who call the pack that get their Recs and their posts.

Just read one who carried on how Reagan was so much better than Obama, but says he's not bashing Obama!

If they do make a half ass retraction after a full bashing, it's only half ass and they never retract the bashing part.



Meh. They are dismissed.
