Week of August 23, 2009 - August 29, 2009

Go listen to Glenn Beck

August 29, 2009, 2:08PM

Jed Lewison's compilation. His text sums it up perfectly:

"Twelve minutes of the craziest conspiracy theory rants you've ever heard on television, all from Glenn Beck, all targeting Barack Obama, and all delivered during the past week..."

The most disappointing part of this twelve minutes was the ending; after Glenn Beck pleads with the audience to not be a sheep, to not take it any more, he promises to give us all the solution, the action to take, in order to reclaim the nation.

Unfortunately, Jed left that part out.

What I want to know is this: How do we reclaim our nation from the crazies who take this idiot seriously?

Y'know, Nazis claimed to be Christians, too

August 29, 2009, 11:58AM

And there's no shortage of text they wrote, justifying each and every atrocity.

I know plenty of folks on both sides of the aisle today are sick and tired of being called or having their side call the OTHER side a Nazi. Fine. I understand that all too well.

But how else would you describe this?

For Christians, intent is integral to determining whether and when certain techniques, including water-boarding, are morally permissible.

--Gary Bauer, Town Hall

I'll tell you what's unthinkable...that this man could call himself a Christian.

Go read Glenn Greenwald

August 29, 2009, 11:50AM

I honestly think that if this country is going to be saved, it'll be due to the daily efforts of Glenn Greenwald, and the frequent observations of Bill Moyers.

Arnold holds a garage sale

August 28, 2009, 11:51AM

Remember when Arnold spewed HIS lies from the podium? I paraphrase, but accurately:

"Ve are goink to Sa-cree-men-toh, and ve will TERMINATE DA DEFICIT!"

This is how he's going to do it.

I could hardly believe anyone would take this idiot seriously. California voters are looking pretty goddamned stupid right now. Then again, no more stupid than the U.S. electorate, who is guilty of sending George W. Bush BACK for four more years of death, destruction, debt and torture.

Don't you hate...when they tell you a goddamned fucking lie right to your face?

August 27, 2009, 3:27PM

I do. I most certainly do.

It's the Ninth Commandment, folks, and it's SUPPOSED to be a mortal sin to tell a lie like this.

Here come the Bush crime spree civil rights abuse lawsuits...

August 27, 2009, 11:05AM

The one word that strikes the most fear into the heart of the most anti-immigrant racist Republican is:

Reparations.

If you thought the Bush Deficits would break the bank of our Treasury, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
