Michael Moore, Insane or Thinking with his Wallet

2012-01-15T14:18:00.000-08:00

Alfred Einstein's infamous definition of Insanity is "doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result". One-percenter Michael Moore has saw fit to do an interview in which he proceeds to tell President Obama to basically "Do what we ( disgruntled liberals)tell you, or we'll vote third party to prove a point".

If this sounds familiar coming from Moore, it's because he pretty much did the exact same thing in 2000 when it came to Ralph Nader.

The same Ralph Nader he would then literally beg on his knees on national television to NOT RUN in 2004.

So now we have Moore pushing for third-party in 2000, begging for no third-party in 2004, and now full circle to pushing for third-party in 2012. This make me think one of two things:

1) Michael Moore didn't learn a damn thing from the 2000 debable that gave America one of the worst presidency in American history (if not the worse as the jury is still out on this one). In other words, he's "Insane"...

or

2) Michael Moore has an agenda that stands to gain significantly if a republican wins back the White House.

What do I mean by #2, you ask? Well it's no secret the larger "Progressive" blog sites made very good revenue during the Bush years. Outrage generates cash (via ad revenue and fund-raising), and there was more than enough outrage to talk about in the era of the most morally corrupt and incompetent presidential administration in recent history.

Then a Democrat, Obama, won the White House and things changed. Every single major "Progressive" blog site has reported losing viewership, and thus ad revenue. Outrage didn't come naturally, thus in many cases it had to be manufactured just to generate "hits" to their site. Long story short, we now have some of these "Progressive" blog sites with a vested monetary interest in seeing a Republican return to power.

"But wait, LT", you may ask, "Moore is not a blogger, he's a film maker". True. So the question we have to ask is did Michael Moore suffer from having a Democrat in white house when it came to his films? Well check this out:

Let's look at 'Fahrenheit 9/11". Yes, Moore did make films prior to this one, but none of those movies had nearly the production budget nor did they have the notoriety that "F9/11" had. As we know, "F9/11" (released Summer 2004) can be best argued as a case against the Bush administration, and it was no secret that it was designed to sway voters to not re-elect Bush.

Needless to say that the film failed in that regard as George W. Bush went on to win a second term. But what it did succeed in doing was making Michael Moore a very wealthy man. With a production and marketing budget of around $12 million, "Fahrenheit 9/11" went to gross over $220 million in domestic and foreign gross revenue. As director, writer, and basically star of the movie, we can confidently say that at least $60 million of that $220 million went into Moore's personal bank account. Not only that, "F9/11" made Moore a power player in Hollywood.

Which is why, his next film "Sicko" had a significantly larger production and marketing budget (around $15 - $16 million). "Sicko" was released Summer 2007 and went on to generate a total domestic and foreign gross revenue of over $36 million . While not the blockbuster of the previous "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Sicko" still was a success critically and financially with about $5 million going into Moore's personal bank account.

While "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko" dealt with different subject matter, the films have two unique things in common. Both were financial successes and both were released during the Bush presidency.

Now we are 3 years into the Obama presidency. So far, Moore has only released one film during this time, which is "Capitalism: A Love Story". With a Fall 2009 release and a production budget of $20 million, "Capitalism" is Moore's biggest film endeavor to date. The natural question to ask, of course, is how successful was this film?

Short answer? Not very.

To this date, "C:ALS" has a domestic and foreign box office gross of around $17 million. While there's definitely a possibility money was made up in Home DVD sales, for the most part "Capitalism" was a box office bomb and the first of Moore's 20 year long film making career.

Now one can fairly argue coincidence, but between his recent the above interview and his antics over the past couple of years, to argue coincidence would mean having to acknowledge that Michael Moore is, in fact, insane. And by that I mean totally divorced himself from reality.

But we now know that Moore is hawking a new book, and he's gambling to coming out against Obama will result in better book sales. As I see it, Moore needs to heed his own advice about "the road best taken", because I see a serious fall in the making.

Get your facts straight about Roosevelt:

"....The first thing to consider is that FDR was nothing if not a pragmatist. He spent much of his early career going after the abuses of Tammany Democrats, who were almost as corrupt as Republicans today. But when it came time to run for Governor of New York, and then President, he embraced Tammany in order to win election. In other words, FDR knew that the only way to get things done was to get elected to the office, and the only way to get elected is to appeal to as many people as possible. Sometimes, a candidate has to embrace points of view you don’t always agree with. That doesn’t mean you’re adopting their views; it means that you’re flexible, and willing to try to build a consensus...."

"....During his run against Hoover for president, FDR took what some progressives might find to be surprising positions. One of his main complaints against Hoover in the 1932 campaign was the Republican's “huge budget deficits.” Given that most latter-day progressives, myself included, would like to see more stimulus to get us out of our current economic mess, which is not nearly as dire as FDR faced when he was running, doesn’t it seem strange that a presidential candidate who is seen as a “liberal icon” of sorts by today’s progressives, complained about budget deficits when more than a quarter of the population was unemployed? That sounds more like a Republican than a Democrat, doesn't it?....."

".....Even if you don’t think his railing about deficits during a depression disqualifies him from “good progressive” status on its own, you should know that Roosevelt campaigned on the Democratic platform in 1932, which, among other things called for "immediate and drastic reductions of all public expenditures," (huge spending cuts), the abolishment of "useless commissions and offices” and the "[consolidation] of departments and bureaus (small government) and “eliminating extravagances" (again, huge spending cuts). He also campaigned on a balanced budget, although he fell short of calling for an amendment to the Constitution....."

LINK

In other words, the socialists and liberals of that day hated on FDR more so than you're hating on Obama.

So "Occupy", let me get this straight,....

John Lewis, Black Civil Rights icon, Wallenburg Medal recipient, and champion of civil and human rights all over the world........is not allowed to speak AT your events...

but

Glenn Greenwald, Libertarian who lives part time in Brazil, and who infamously defended White Supremacist Matthew Hale.....is allowed to speak FOR the movement?

...and you wonder why you have trouble attracting African Americans?

"....Plants, of all things that really bother me about the Obama loyalist, the thing that bothers me the most is their tendency to smear people they disagree with, and their affinity for demagoguery in their writings and commentary. When I went and viewed some of the extremely bias commentary/ragings of this Obama loyalist who refers to herself as "Angry Black Lady" , I told myself that I couldn't imagine any reasonably intelligent person using her as a source for anything....."

Imani Gandy (aka Angry Black Lady) is an accomplished lawyer from Los Angeles. If ever there was a debate between her and Yvette Carnell, she'd run circles around Yvette. And since you haven't been paying attention, the "source" Naomi linked to was debunked two weeks ago. So was Naomi willfully spreading debunked information?

"...Even a prestigious, usually reasonable-minded professor like Melissa Perry-Harris degenerated into her own brand of mudslinging when she tried to pre-accuse White Liberals of racism with her "Obama is as competent as a Clinton" piece in "The Nation"; she, a political scientist by nature, glossed over so many significant facts in order to smear, bully and guilt White Liberals in a very slimy way. It was embarrassing...."

Not nearly as embarrassing as so-called black liberals playing house niggers for the white liberal elite. You'd think people like you, Yvette, Commie Ford, and a whole slew of blacks from the "so-called left" would welcome a debate on this subject even if you don't agree with the premise.

".....I find it interesting that Obama loyalist so cavalierly use underhanded tactics against people they strongly disagree with about the President, yet, they are the very first to rant, scream and moan when places like Fox News, right-wing blogs and right-wing talk radio use these tactics against the President. it seems with them (the Obama loyalist), very little is about decency or respect or how things are done, and everything is about shilling for the President in every way imaginable--even if it includes dirty tactics....."

Project much, kid? Remember this all started with the tweet from one percenter Michael Moore.

In response to Lavarrock:
_____________________________________________________________

".....These are demands that are currently being voting on democratically by the people as opposed to in backroom deals with corporations....."

CORRECTION: These are "demands" being voted on FOR the masses by a select privileged few in the lobby of the Deutshce Bank Building (60 Wall Street). But at least you're admitting that after damn near 3 months, there's still no cohesive demand structure that average people can rally behind.

"....Occupy actions are taking place in over 100 US cities. Which is quite impressive for a young, growing movement...."

Significantly big drop from the 2000 number you threw out there, isn't it? Now how many are those cities are in Red States? Find that out for me.

"....Even if the movement wasn’t popular it wouldn’t make any difference. The Civil Rights movement was extremely unpopular in America when it arose...."

The only similarity between the Civil Rights movement and "Occupy" is that they stated getting press coverage when brutality started to happen and sympathy was gained. All the "support" Occupy enjoyed was majorly based on sympathy to their "cause"

The biggest differences (and the key factors) between the Civil Rights Movement is that people knew exactly what they were fighting for.

They had leaders (or at least credible representatives).

And MOST IMPORTANTLY........they worked with the politicians in Washington at the time.

"....The mere fact that Obama and the democrats are trying to co-opt the movement as much as the Republicans did the Tea Party shows just how worried they are....."

And now Tea Partiers have pull and influence in Washington today. You have a problem with Occupiers having that same sort of pull and influence.....why exactly?

"....Switching to a credit union and fraudulent bank charges were some of the things OWS has been preaching since day one....."

Then you need to have a talk with Congressman Brad Miller, who seems to deserve a little more credit than OWS on this:

"....After BofA announced the fees, Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.) introduced legislation urging consumers to move their deposits from BofA to smaller, more consumer-friendly institutions. Miller's move, not surprisingly, prompted outrage from big banks. "Great, now we have a member of Congress encouraging a run on a major U.S. bank," one bank lobbyist, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said at the time....." LINK

And by your own logic, the president deserves, at least, as much credit as OWS on the debit card issue.

(YES, I'm using HuffPost since you like it so much) ;)

"...Also, considering that JP Morgan donated 4.2 million to the NYPD and then a couple hours later the NYPD arrested 400 protesters proves that they are obviously influencing someone...."

Assuming that's true, how does that prove that OWS had any significant influence on BofA changing their minds on the $5 debit card fee?

"...Read the actual article. Not just the title...."

I did read it, and from what I gather Van Jones' only crime is that he's a democrat, he supports the president, and he wants people to vote. In other words, he's like tens of million of people in this country. Tens of million of people who evidently can't join the little social club that is the Occupy movement. If that's the case, they don't represent 99% of anybody

When the likes of Yvette Carnell is telling you you're too cynical...

Obama represents the Destruction of The B.R.A.B.A.N. Mentality

2011-03-31T21:43:00.000-07:00

This is for people who need an education as to why the Obama presidency, whether you approve of him or not, has changed African America for the better.

Over at Jack and Jill Politics, I get into numerous heated clashes with certain posters who claim to be strong critics of President Obama. One poster in particular, who goes by the moniker dthomas_85, not only doesn't like President Obama, he doesn't like the fact that 90% of African Americans support him. He calls it an "irrational devotion to the president". When I asked him to clarify this, his response was:

"....Black people's desperate need to "belong" to, and have more power in the White Power Stucture in America; a black man gaining the White House fufills these collective needs in way we have never seen before....."

The thing that seems to escape dthomas is that Black people aren't getting "emotionally attached" to an individual (see O.J. Simpson as an example), but rather a high concept. A big picture.

Sherri Shepard of The View says it best here:

However, the idea that dthomas, even after 27 months since November 4th, 2008, still lacks any clue as to why a majority of African Americans support President Obama.....is not important at this time.

What is important is the mentality behind his above statement. It's a mentality I've seen my whole life of 38 years. It's a mentality that permeates the Black community, in particularly our young men and women, that guises itself as independent thought. In reality, however, it's nothing more than a branch off of what I call the BRABAN Mentality.

"B.R.A.B.A.N."

Be
Realistic
About
Being
A
Nigger

The most famous BRABAN moment is MalcolmX talking about when his grade school teacher told him to "...be realistic about being a nigger, and give up trying to be a lawyer and get a job doing something with your hands. Like a garbage man, because that's a respectable job for a nigger". This of course led to Malcolm being a train porter, a criminal, a pimp, and eventually a convicted felon. It was in prison where he was introduced to his second BRABAN talk and became a disciple of Elijah Muhammad. Only after his pilgrimage to Mecca did he discover that every "truth" he ever believed or was told was from the prism of someone else's ideology. He learned that the world was not as black and white as he was led to believe.

There are 40 million African Americans in the US, and you can be damn sure the 99.99% of them have received or will receive the BRABAN talk. It will either come from your parents, your peers, or your mentors, and it tends to come in different varieties:

"Black people don't do this, you need to do this"

"Why you sound like a white boy/girl"

"You're not good enough to do this"

"You're not smart enough to do that"

"Boy/Girl, you're dreaming. You need to get you a REAL job"

Basically, if it's not sports or music, you not being realistic.

In modern day Black society, the BRABAN mentality mutates itself into the guise of "Black Pride" and "Black Empowerment". In reality, it's telling you how a black man/woman should think and act, and to reject and persecute anything and anyone that is even a remote deviation of the ideal image.

Which brings me back to dthomas' comment above:

"....Black people's desperate need to "belong" to, and have more power in the White Power Stucture in America; a black man gaining the White House fufills these collective needs in way we have never seen before....."

It reminds me of the episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air entitled "Blood is Thicker than Mud". Will and Carlton are trying to pledge a black fraternity. However one of the "head brothers" takes an instant disliking to Carlton because he didn't fit the image of what he though a black man should be. But rather than just tell Carlton he didn't want him in the fraternity, the "head brother" decides it would be funny to make Carlton go through some extra hazing with no intentions on letting him join the fraternity. In other words, he felt he needed to "punish" Carlton for being who he was.

It should be noted at this point that one of dthomas' mentors of Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report, who admittedly has hated Obama since his introduction on the world stage in 2004. Ford "listened" to Obama keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention and concluded that Obama did not like black people. Never mind that Obama has a Black wife and Black children. In Glen's eyes, Obama is the antithesis of what a black man should be, so therefore he should be "punished".

Glen Ford is a textbook example of when the BRABAN Mentality mixes with envy and personal regret. It forms the infamous "Crabs in a Bucket" aka Bucket Crab Mentality that the Black community is often described with.

This clip from The Boondocks is a uniquely accurate description of the Bucket Crab Mentality:

Bottom line, the BRABAN Mentality is all about limitations. It has been these limitations, the stifling of dreaming big, that has been a lead blanket on the Black community for over a century. Obama becoming President of the United States, to the vast majority of African American, represent the destruction of those limitations. That yes, it's okay to pursue the American dream, because we are, whether some people admit it or not, just as American as any white person.

To go back to that Fresh Prince episode, Carlton ends up educating the head brother that "black is not something I'm trying to be, it's what I am." The head brother ends up looking like a douche, and the other brothers vow to kick him out of the fraternity.

The episode ends with Uncle Phil, after finding out what happened saying the following line:

"....When are we going to stop doing this to ourselves?"

When indeed.

A Hit Dog will Bark a.k.a. Liberal Reactionaryism

2010-12-09T08:39:00.000-08:00

It's really funny.

All people like me have done is give the white liberal blogosphere a friendly reminder that African-Americans still exist in this country and that we as a whole still support President Obama, and you accuse us of calling you racists.

People like me are letting you know it's not the "calling President Obama on his shit" that we have an issue with. It's the "painting his entire presidency as shit" that we have issues with, and you accuse us of calling you racists.

People like me are letting you know that we don't appreciate how the "critiques" of Obama and his supporters from the left in recent months have turned nastier, more personal, and more dehumanizing. No different from the crap coming from the other side, and you accuse us of calling you racists.

People like me are warning you that primarying the first African-American president will not sit well with the vast majority of the most loyal voting block of the Democratic party. Not because we're fixated on the fact that he's African American, but you guys have yet to give a reason for not supporting him that can't be summarized as "He didn't do what I wanted him to do in the way and time I wanted him to do it", and you accuse us of calling you racists.

People like me, whenever you point to some Black guy like Clarence Jones, why supports a primary, as proof that it wouldn't be racial, we point you to a Black guy that claim African-Americans were better off under segregation. So by your logic, that must mean Jim Crow was just fine, and you accuse us of calling you racists.

Rather than worrying about whether someone is calling you a racist, why don't you wonder what would happen to your agenda if the most loyal Democratic voting block was no longer on your side. Why don't you think about the fact that at no time in recent history have you been able to get a majority of White Americans on to your cause.

How about concentrating your anger and frustrations on the true problem and obstacles of the progressive movement. Republicans and the broken Senate. Rather than waiting for the president to give you feel-good, comfort food, ideologically rhetoric, how about helping to organize progressive offices in Red States for the long term goal of selling progressive causes in these areas.

That's all.

Hey Liberals, remember Black People?

2010-12-07T21:33:00.000-08:00

Here, let me help you refresh your memory.

Now that I've done so, here's a few fun facts about African Americans (aka black people):

1) We come in all shapes and colors

2) We are the most loyal Democratic voting block in the party.

3) President Obama happens to be an African American. In fact, he is the first African-American president.

4) A whopping 90% African-Americans approve of the job President Obama doing.

and finally....

The plurality of African-Americans are getting fed up at watching a bunch whiny white liberals trash and disrespect this president in every imaginable way simply because he has become the liberal you fantasized him to be.

For those of you who think you can primary the first African-American president and African-Americans will just be a-ok with it, ask yourself this question:

When was the last time a Democratic/Liberal presidential candidate wow without getting the lion's share of African American support?

Can't remember that far back? Didn't think you could. In fact, no democratic president in the last 40 years has ever won without it.

A Primary Challenge of Obama from the left will be the Biggest Display of Liberal Racism Ever

If disgruntled liberals who talk about primarying Obama are really serious, they better be prepared for what a serious challenger to the president will have to do.

Said challenger will have to be white (notice all the names thrown around are white men and woman).

President Obama has an 90% approval rating among African Americans. That number has never dropped below 85% at any time during his presidency. Barring some cataclysmic event, any serious primary challenger of Obama from the left will have to realize that African Americans aren't going anywhere.

So that serious challenger of Obama from the left will have no choice but to try to win over as many white liberals as possible, even if that mean marginalizing or even suppressing black voters. In other words, they will have to engage in the “Southern Strategy: Liberal Edition”. Such a run will make the racism that occur in the 2008 Democratic primary look like Sesame Street. Only this time, the racism will be condoned by Liberals.

And let's all this occurs and the primary challenger ends up winning, the supporters of that challenger will want to go “Okay, now let's put this behind us, let bygones be bygones, and come together to win the general”. It will be at this point where you will find out what the loudest “Fuck You” ever heard sounds like. It will also be at this point where Liberal will be reminded that they can't win a fucking pie-eating contest without African American support.

So when the Republican Candidate wins, in very much the way gays blamed black people for Prop 8 passing in California, white liberals will blame blacks for costing them the electing. It will be at this point they will find out what the second-loudest “Fuck You” sounds like.

So it's time to ask these disgruntled liberals if this is the road they want to take.

Fighting Against Hypocrisy from Both Side: A Reintroduction

2010-12-06T08:27:00.000-08:00

I live in Houston, Texas

I am a college instructor, and I am a founder of a start-up entertainment software company.

While I don't adhere to any political ideology, as I think all ideology is garbage, I am a progressive.

and most importantly....

I am a proud, PROUD Barack Hussein Obama supporter. I was a proud supporter when he introduced himself to the national stage in 2004, and barring some cataclysmic event, will continue to support him after he leaves office (which I'm hoping is January 2017)

For those who may be coming here for the first time, you'll notice a huge gap from when I posted here last (a year and a half to be precise). My busy schedule didn't really allow me the time to maintain this blog, so I chose to simply post my thoughts on the more established "progressive" blogs. (I'll explain why I have "progressive" in quotes shortly).

However, a series of events have led me to reopen and make a serious effort to create and maintain my blog:

Literally since November 5, 2008, the Republicans and the RWWB (Right Wing Wind Bags) have been working overtime and have been spending millions of dollars to see to it the Obama presidency goes down in flames with no accomplishments to show for it. But, of course, that was to be expected.

What was not expected was for significant portions of the left to be working just as hard, and in some cases harder, to accomplish the same goal as the other side. For months, I have noticed what seemed to be a calculated effort by some on the far right to push the narrative that Obama has not done anything progressive since being in office, which for anyone who actually do research know is pure, Grade-A bullshit. And after the 2010 midterm election, the push has gotten significantly harder to the point that now Obama is "weak", "dangerous", "stupid", and all coming from his so-called base.

I have numerous ideas on why they would do this, but the "why" is not really important at this time. What is important is that these people represent, at most, 15% of liberal/progressives in this country. Yet they're the ones who get the attention in the media, thus giving the illusion that they represent all of us.

Therefore, I think it's time for 85 percenters to make their voices heard. It has started with one blogger that goes by the name blackwaterdog. She used to post photodiaries of Obama at Dkos along with positive news stories. These news stories, you would think, would be posted all over the left blogosphere. Instead, it is seen as "propaganda" that must be eliminated. Yes, the left have told the lie so much they're actually starting to believe it themselves. So she left Dkos and create her own blog. And now a prominent and establish blogger/writer for an online publication has felt the need to attack BWD for the crime of showing Obama in a positive light. This has suddenly become a heresy to the disgruntled left.

It is officially a civil war for the hearts and minds of the progressive movement. The extreme left vying to take over the democratic party in the same way as the extreme right has taken over the republican party. if successful would be a total disaster for the progressive movement as "Principles" over progress would be the law of the land.

I'm reopening this blog because the fight has started, and I have decided to join.

Annie Coulter Gets It

2009-07-27T16:12:00.000-07:00

Here's Ann calling out the "Birthers" for the morons that they are.

If you ask me, the Boondocks' impression of Ann is not too far from the truth.

Make no mistake. If there was big money to be made off catering to these birther ass-clowns, Ann would be on it like stink on a hunk of shit.

What you just saw in that video is Annie realizing this birther crap has spun out of control and is starting to make conservatives look bad. So it's time to cut them loose and walk away.

Wind bags like Hannity and Limbaugh have already sunk themselves into this too deep. They can't walk it back without looking like grade-A hypocrites (though these guys never had a problem with looking like hypocrites, so we'll see).

Don't think this isn't starting to become a problem for conservatives and the GOP? Take a look at this video and see for yourself.

Do you have what it takes to be a "Birther"

2009-07-18T12:40:00.000-07:00

Do you have what it takes to be one of these people?

That's Alan Keyes (who has the pleasure of sharing the same company as Hillary Clinton and John McCain in that they all lost to Obama in political contest) and Orly Taitz (who got her law degree from an online university) proving that batshit insanity obviously knows no race or gender.

So you're probably asking yourself, "How can I be as batshit as these two?". Well there are several things to do. Each one requiring you to either have an over inflation of your ego or completely divorce yourself from reality by believing Obama's parents/grandparents has the greatest gift of clairvoyancy even seen in humans.

1) You have to believe you're so much smarter than the conservative groups who spent millions or dollars trying to find any kind of dirt on Obama during the campaign.

2) You have to believe that the Dunhams' and the Obamas' knew Barack Jr. was gonna run for president someday in some insane clairvoyance only found in gypsy fortune tellers.

3) You have to believe the Dunhams' and the Obamas' has enough influence in Hawaii to pull off this amazing coup.

4) you have to believe WorldNetDaily (who has admitted the birth certificate was authentic) is not a far right web blog site but a liberal one.

5) You have to be able to look directly at an orange and, with a straight face, say it's an avocado.

Follow those simple steps and you'll be on your way to being a batshit insane "birther" before you know it.

The Constipated White People of America

2009-07-17T16:02:00.000-07:00

Listening to Pat Buchanan, and others like him lately, all I can think about is these people suffering from a serious case of constipation.

No, seriously.

Have you ever been constipated?
Have you ever gone 3 or more days without a bowel movement?

Chances are everyone has. And it's never a good feeling. You can't eat properly. You can't sleep properly. You body doesn't function properly. Your clothes don't fit properly. You just pretty much feel like you're gonna explode and all you want is relief.

Now imagine you've been constipated since.....oh let's say....January 20, 2009. Hell, you might even say as long as November 4, 2008. Imagine what type of agony these people are going through.

I've pretty much just described every racist white person in America.

And what made them constipated, you ask?

A black man named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is President of the United States of America.

Obama and his black family sitting in the WHITE house destroys everything these people ever believed to be true about themselves and others.

It has literally made them constipated and every time they think they're about to get relief, they see Obama's black face on TV, in the magazine shelves at the grocery store, somewhere on the street, and their sphincters just tighten back up. It's like torture.

So with all that crap built up and driving them insane, the only way it can come out is through uncontrollable and spastastic burst which, while providing some relief, usually ends with the person having crapped all over themselves.

Put it to you like this. Do you really think the kiddies in FREEPERSville didn't know in the back of their minds throw racist, hateful slurs at Malia Obama, an 11 year old girl, wasn't making them look like huge assholes? Of course they knew, but at that moment all that were going through their mind was "I NEED RELIEF!!!!!!"

This is why you're seeing the racism towards Obama and his family literally come out in explosive blurts and stream (not unlike diarrhea). It comes out in a way that you can't even try to hide that it's racist. It's far too blatant and far too sloppy.

I use this far out analogy to make this point. Whenever you see or hear someone like Buchanan, or Hannity, or Limbaugh make huge assholes out of themselves, just think about the pain and misery they're going and know the dumps they're taking always end up making them look like shit.

I'm surprise it took this long.

2009-07-12T18:07:00.000-07:00

Shortly after Obama won the election, I posted a set of rules for RWWB (Right Wing Wind Bags). 8 of them to be exact.

Naturally they broke every single one, but the ones I want to focus on are Rule 3 since this one was broken very recently:

Rule #3. Malia and Sasha Obama are totally off limits. Period. End of Discussion.

Even I didn't think they could break this rule with as much racial vile as they did. It's as if they asked themselves "how low can we go with trashing an 11 year old girl"?

Obviously, this low.

It's obvious that some people are still constipated over the fact that a black man named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is the President of the United States of America and they want to trash him badly. But it's really hard to do so without looking like racist douchebags. To me it looks like a lot of them have stopped hiding their racist contempt, which I personally find refreshing.

But how much of a soulless bloated turd do you have to be to aim that racial vitriol at Malia, again an 11 year old girl (can't say that enough)?

The best way to describe it is that these constipated bastards overdosed on the milk of magnesia and the explosion of shit was uncontrollable.

Happy Birthday to the Next First lady

2009-01-17T09:48:00.000-08:00

Enjoy you 4 day birthday party.

That's "President Monkey Boy" to you, assclown!

2009-01-16T12:30:00.000-08:00

....looks like someone didn't get the Fox News memo that the election of Obama means racism no longer exist in America.

Jobs are gonna be created the minute Obama gets sworn in. When it happens, the heads of racist douche bags will be exploding all over the country, and people will need to be hired to clean up the mess.

What the hell would you know about fashion sense, Ann?

2009-01-03T13:27:00.000-08:00

So Ann-Orexic Coulter wants to trash the next First Lady for her fashion sense?

Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint....

Cindy McCain dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history....

via Huffington Post

Well Ann, I guess we can't have the money you have but wear the same ridiculous black cocktail dress worn day and night. What are you doing with all that money you're making? We know it's not going toward food for that bony ass of yours, and it's obviously not going toward decent clothes or hair care.

I look forward to this latest screed tanking like the last one.

And for God's sake, go eat some red beans and rice and cornbread. You look straight nasty.

Belated Happy New Year

I fear the GLBT community is on the path to the Darkside

2008-12-20T18:23:00.000-08:00

I can say this because I feel it's 100% true. Had Proposition 8 not passed in California, the GLBT community would not be nearly as up in arms about Obama selecting Rick Warren for his invocation as they are now.

The passage of Prop 8 was a severe body blow to the GLBT community that still hurts as badly now as it did over six weeks ago. I for one completely understand the pain. The passage of Prop 8 pretty much told the GLBT community that the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was not for them. It was a bittersweet day for this country in that while one barrier was coming down a new one was built.

I've already posted in a previous thread why I thought it passed and where the GLBT can go from here.

But the Rick Warren situation has let it known that where construction and wisdom was suppose to happen in the GLBT community post-Prop 8, instead fear and paranoia has taken roost. They "FEAR" Prop 8's passage will lead the way to more extreme treatment. This, of course, causes them great "ANGER". Unfortunately, instead of helping to channel that anger constructively, gay rights and gay friendly websites are allowing (and even encouraging) the anger to fester and grow without focus. This unfocused anger soon mutates into "HATE". FEAR and ANGER are the common motivations hate organizations use for recruitment. (note: I'm not comparing gay rights organization to white supremacists, just giving an example). Ultimately, as hate grows, the cause for which you fight for begins to "SUFFER" because nothing good born of hate can properly grow.

Which ultimately brings me to this:

I see it happening. It's not pretty, and it threatens to destroy everything they've been working for. Hopefully, they will realize this before it's too late.

The Gays and Lesbians up in arms with Obama about Warren must now boycott Rachel Maddow

2008-12-18T11:32:00.000-08:00

Just what the title says. Rachel has frequently acquainted herself (even invited to her show) a guy who once said that

"Homosexuality is “the love that will not shut up.”,

"civil unions are absurd",

"Gay pride equals moral decline and cultural decadence",

"AIDS is in effect what happens to people as a consequence of unnatural and immoral sex."

All of these quotes, and more, were said by MSNBC political consultant Pat Buchanan and can be found here.

Rachel Maddow has given this homophobic bigot an invitation to her show on several occasions. Rachel has called Pat Buchanan "smart and funny" and likes to talk to him. How dare she give such a slap to the face of the Gay/Lesbian and progressive community.

It's time to come down on her like people have come down on Obama for Warren. Giving a platform to such a vile homophobe is unacceptable, right? Right?

So now bad judgment equal homophobia?

2008-12-17T23:04:00.000-08:00

I can understand the Gay/Lesbian community being upset over Rick Warren doing Obama's inauguration, but if you hear some "progressives" this now means he's a homophobe or condones homophobia.

I thought only right-wingers engage in guilt-by-association.

***Update***

h/t - a commenter from Balloon-Juice

"If you followed the internal politics of evangelical and fundamentalist leaders, you’d see this for what it is—not an elevation of Warren, but a slap in the face of the old guard leaders like Dobson and LaHaye. They’ve been fighting to see who gets to be the spokesman for the movement, and lately it’s been a tie. Obama just broke it.

And let’s be clear, there is a difference between those groups. Warren may not be progressive on gay rights, but he’s been out front on a number of issues of global justice—traveling from Davos to Damascus, and working hard to get rank-and-file evangelicals invested in “creation care” environmentalism and the fight against global HIV/AIDS.

If he were put in charge of HHS or listened to on gay policies, I’d be pissed. But what Obama is doing here isn’t that. It’s a move that marginalizes the worst on the religious right, elevates a guy who’s more progressive than most religious leaders on a number of issues, and earns him some moderate cred at the outset.

If Obama sells out on the progressive promise in actual policy, I’ll be in the streets protesting with everyone else. But if his “selling out” is having a fairly moderate, popular evangelical give the invocation at the inaugural—when large sections of this country still worry Obama’s a scary evil Mooooslim—then who gives a flying fuck?"

- my sentiments exactly.

What Ann Coulter is really like.

2008-12-14T03:05:00.000-08:00

The Boondocks is showing visually what I've been saying for years.

....they actually make Ann look a lot better than in real life. HA!

An Open Letter to Conservative Windbags

2008-11-09T09:23:00.000-08:00

Now that every mean, racist, disingenuous, pile of crap fear monger you said about President-Elect Barack Obama to try to make him to lose in this election has ended in miserable failure on your part, it’s time to accept him as your president for the next 4 -8 years along with a few “New Rules” (mostly mine but some borrowed by Bill Maher)

1. You are not to undermine a president in a time of war. You cannot support the troops without supporting the president.

2. You are forbidden to try to make Michelle Obama into a racial stereotype like you tried during to campaign. She is the First Lady and should be treated with the respect she deserves.

3. Malia and Sasha Obama are totally off limits. Period. End of Discussion.(h/t Oliver Willis)

4. We are getting out of Iraq in the next 16-20 months. Deal with it. The American people have spoken and have decided we no longer want to continue spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while the Iraqi government sits on an $80 billion surplus. It’s time to spend that money in America.

5. You are expected to be the first to pound down any douchbag(s) who advocate any physical harm to President Obama.

6. If you love America like to claim to do, you will use whatever influence you have left to helping clean up the mess your good buddies has left in this country.

7. George Walker Bush going down as “THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY” is pretty much etched in stone. Therefore, you do not get to pretend he wasn’t one of you after defending this guy for 8 years. He’s yours. You own him and his legacy.

8. You do not get to trash John McCain and Sarah Palin now that they lost. They lost because they decided to kiss your collective asses and campaign using Rovian tactics. Thus, like Bush, you own them and their legacies.

I’m not foolish enough to believe you will follow any of these rules. But make no mistake; the American people will come down on you hard if you break any of them (especially the first 5).

This is a new America and we are heading in a direction we haven’t seen in the past 8 years. Forward. And the best thing you guys can do is one thing. Don’t get in our way.

Yes you’re here, yes you’re queer, but we should get used to it because……?

2008-11-08T13:07:00.000-08:00

Now that it has finally started to soak in somewhat that a black man named Barack Hussein Obama will be the next president of the United States of America, I’m starting to notice other things going on in this country of ours.

The big one is the gay/lesbian community getting upset over California’s Proposition 8 (which puts a state constitutional ban of same-sex marriage) passing this election cycle. In particularly, that according to exit polls, 7 out of every 10 African Americans who voted in California voted FOR Prop 8.

Before I get into why I think Prop 8 passed and my opinion of arrogant complacency in the gay/lesbian community as a whole, let tackle the whole “Let’s blame the blacks” trend that seems to be happening. This article pretty much shoot this belief straight to hell (Summary: If every African American who voted in California had voted NO on Prop 8, it still would’ve passed by at least 80,000 votes thanks to every other race and ethnicity who voted FOR it.)

Now back to the topic at hand. The title of this blog post is based on the gay rights chant “We HERE! We’re QUEER! Get used to it.” Rather self-explanatory and in my opinion a very arrogant saying. As a heterosexual person, why do I have to “get used to it”? No gay/lesbian group has as of yet been able to explain in a simple manner why straight people should “get used to” the homosexual lifestyle. As Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark once shouted, “I don’t have to do nothing but stay black and die” (I’m black BTW). One can easily interpret “get used to it” as “you’re going to accept my lifestyle and beliefs whether you want to or not” and that the problem.

That’s why the Prop 8 supporters won in my opinion. They made it a culture issue when it’s actually a civil rights issue. They spent a lot of time and money hitting home that gays are trying to enforce their beliefs and lifestyle on other people. Whether the tactics they used were true or false, legitimate or deceptive, the point is they did a good job of it.

But most important was that the opponents of Prop 8 did a piss poor job at explaining their case to the California voters. Whether it was out of arrogance, complacency, or both, they felt they didn’t need to do the work to make sure it didn’t pass. It was only after it was discovered the proposition gained support did they mount a half-assed job to defeat it. But again, they didn’t hit home that it was a civil rights issues. They believed none of the black churches would allow them to speak to their congregation about the issue. They didn’t even try. Imagine if they sent some gay African Americans representatives to these churches with a well spoken civil rights argument to oppose Prop 8, and then did the same except to the churches of the other ethnic groups. Things would’ve turned out a lot different IMO.

But they did none of those things. So what happened? When it was announced that Prop 8 passed, it basically punched them in the stomach and knock them to the floor. When they eventually caught their breaths, they stood up and “what the fuck just happened?!” Bewilderment soon gave rise to anger and it was at this time that the exit pools released and they saw that big whopping 7 out of 10 support of Prop 8 by African American voters. This caused some to forget that there are such creatures as African American gays/lesbians and go racial hate crazy.

But I am aware this is merely a case of misplaced anger and rage similar LA Riots as a response to the first Rodney King verdict. Once they get it out of their systems, they’ll realize where the real blame lies (I hope).

And hopefully now, they know how to better sell their cause to the rest of us.

It's time to play this campaign "The Chicago Way"

2008-09-10T11:12:00.000-07:00

It's ABOUT TIME. You may want to do all the good in the world, but first you got to win. It's a necessary evil.

The Chicago Way

What happens when 99.997% of your organization's support lets you down?

2008-08-19T12:20:00.000-07:00

You become PUMA PAC.

PUMA: Pathetic Untalented McCain Alcolytes

2008-08-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

By now, most of you have probably heard of the imfamous PUMA PAC. Supposively, there are disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters who still have their panties in a bunch because Barack Obama didn't adhere to the memo that "it was Hillary's time" and he was suppose to let her win.

So now these people are going for the Guinness world record for having the longest running hissy fit by doing what they can to make sure that Obama loses so that Hillary can run in 2012.

Now you ask yourself, "Self, why would so-called democrats want to ensure that a man basically runnung for a George W. Bush third term wins?". It's the poster story of the phrase"Cutting off your own nose to spite your face". Supposively, in their minds, Obama is an arrogant, elitist (psssst....uppity) empty suit who doesn't stand for anything, won't do anything, and doesn't love America like Senator John "I have eight homes" McCain. Also the DNC had plans to undermind Hillary's campaign or some crap like that.

Turns out, however, that PUMA is nothing more than a Republican front group that not a big nor as influential as they claim. Darragh Murphy, the founder of PUMA PAC, donated $500 to McCain's primary campaign in 2000.

Confronted with this, Murphy claims,

- "I briefly enrolled as an Independent in Massachusetts in 2000 to support McCain against what I considered to be an inept and corrupt GW Bush in the Republican primary, like hundreds of thousands of my fellow Democrats in MA and NH. This is old news and not very interesting. I've never been a Republican -- never will be. I voted for Bill Clinton twice, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton." -

One issue. Although she claims to have voted for Al Gore and John Kerry, why did she not donate money to either candidate?

(The face of a fraud?)
