2010: New & Improved Insanity

by The Reverend on January 6, 2010

in 9-11,Barack Obama,disinformation,media,Rush Limbaugh,tea parties

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

There are sooo many idiots saying so many things on the teevee machine starting out the new year…..that it makes picking a particlur idiot, or a particular crazy something to write about akin to eating at an all-you-can-eat buffet….hard to know where to start.

Brit Hume of Fox's Entertainment Tonight has advice for Tiger Woods. The Ole' Hound Dog Brit suggests that Mr. Woods should convert to Christianity of the evangelical kind and quit his alleged Buddhism. The reason?

".. he needs something that Christianity, especially provides and gives and offers and that is redemption and forgiveness."

Mr. Hume looks at all the world religions, or not, and concludes that forgiveness and reconciliation are qualities that only evangelical Christianity "especially provides."

Just like when you have a problem with getting those difficult grass stains out of the kids' jeans…..you should get some OxyClean…..if a married billionaire pro golfer has been, you know, doing the dirty with a double digit number of bimbos, none of whom are his wife…..that golfer should get himself some fresh-off-the-shelf, deeply-discounted at your neighborhood evangelical market, with or without coupons…..Oxy-grace. Call now and we'll double your order for free.

It's a product purchase kind of approach that the Britster takes.

But Hume isn't "proselytizing"…or anything.

Last night on Hardballs, Mr. Matthews said…."the Teabaggers are an interesting group to watch. They're not far right, they're probably center-right….generally, they are Republican voters. Is that fair to say? They vote Republican."

Then, this unbelievable response from Susan Day of USA Today…..
"You know, I don't think these are really Republican voters."

Matthews: "Yeah, but who did they vote for? McCain or Obama?

Day: "Well, they voted for McCain over Obama. But they voted for Palin over McCain."

Matthews: "They're both Republicans."

Day: "They ARE both Republicans."

Two things here….if the Teabaggers are center-right, not far right, as Sissy-boy Chrissy states, then the U.S. is freaking doomed.

Secondly….Susan Day is a moron.

Another one of my favorite National Room Mother Bitches…..did I really say that?……why, yes I did…… is the one and only Cokie Roberts. How annoyingly stupid can one bitchy Room Mother be? Let's count the ways….

Well, it's always politically difficult for Democrats when they are dealing with an issue like terrorism. It remained the Republican's only winning issue through most of President Bush's second term, and it's a particular problem for a Democrat who hasn't served in the military…..

Republicans were guarding the gates on 9-11 when the U.S. experienced it's worst attack ever. 9-11 was a terrorist attack, which, kind of, places it in the "terrorism" file. Anthrax attacks followed shortly after 9-11. Instead of a concerted and sustained effort to eliminate al-Qaeda types, Republican leadership frauded-up a "war of choice" inside Iraq, a place where no terrorists were. Bin Laden and Zawahiri are still doing their thing and al-Qaeda has spread and increased their number….we've been in Afghanistan for over 8 years.

Yet, terrorism is a "winning" issue for Republicans.

Obama never served in the military…..so, besides terrorism being a "winning" issue for Republicans…..terrorism is "a particular problem" for Obama, according to Our National Room Mother.

George W. Bush, a Republican president, dodged the draft back in the 70's when his Poppy arranged a safe National Guard gig for him. A gig Georgie never completed. Contrary to Cokie…..Bush never really "served in the military" either. He avoided the fate of millions of other American young men of his day. He didn't serve his country when the country was "at war." He avoided war.

Using Cokie's amazingly brilliant thinking, it's easy to see why Republicans, like Bush, find terrorism to be a "winning issue."

I'm kidding.

Honestly…..2009 started out pretty crazy with the afterglow of Palin's Pathetic Patriots and all. The Drugster calling for Obama to fail on Inauguration Day. But this is only the first week of January, 2010.

Welcome to the The Year of the TeaBag.

  • Andrea

    Brit Hume just lost all credibility to call himself a journalist or a reporter. He is now a pundit only and should be considered as only that. As for tea baggers the racists found a group they can join and hide behind. When Palin got away with her lies they all figured they can now do it too, after all many of their supporters will never dig deeper to find out the truth. They have become the party of the stupids.

  • Da King

    Rev,
    After buying into Olbermann's loony 'conspiracy or cock-up' madness, don't you ever feel a twinge of hypocrisy when you call others crazy ??? Or is self-awareness not a trait you possess ?

  • Da King

    Andrea,
    Brit Hume retired from journalism. He IS only an occasional pundit now.

    "tea baggers the racists"

    Channeling Janeane Garofalo doesn't make one sound very intelligent, though I do find it ironically humorous that you are stereotyping the entire Tea Party movement with your slander, which is exactly the behavior of a bigot. Nice job. I see you are about as self-aware as the Reverend.

  • larry d.

    It also seems borderline racist to use the charge of racism as a weapon whenever you disagree with folks. I'm not sure how, but Andrea has somehow come to terms with the bad habit.

    Reverend, you don't seem to understand what the National Guard is or does. It may not be bribing bums for votes with cancer sticks, but it is national service.

    More from the LII's Liberal Indoctrinated Idoits LII’S

    The Tea Partiers were not republicans (or democrats) but people fed up with their elected officials pissing all over them.

    65% (at last polling I have seen) are against the Congress and Barry the LIAR (Liberal Indoctrinated Anal Retentive LIAR) style of health insurance reform. Those people know, that this is not good for america, for its citizens and will ultimately lead to higher health care and insurance costs, higher taxes, and in doing so, will lead to new legislation nationalizing the healthcare industry. Barry the Liar has said that that was his goal, do you think that has changed. We dont want Canadian, or English style socialist healthcare, people do not want to die waiting for cancer treatment, heart surgery, or even sit in an ambulance so the hospital meets its time quota. But instead of listening to the VOTERS, Pelosi, Reid and the Progressive liars are hiding behind closed doors. Who are the frauds, those who have openly and peacefully protested their governments policy of following Cloward Piven, and collapsing the government in order to blame capitalism, or the cowardly politicians skulking around what can one hide in 2000 pages of gobbledy gook that passes for legislation.

    More for the LII's

    The Trvth (from the facebook TRVTH) for our Progressive Friends (ie those bent on the destruction of liberty, prosperity and property in the US of A)

    The Connection by Stephen Hayes explores the TRUTH, just reading the preface you know you are reading a scholarly work, one that looks at the subject without the bias that we have come to know from the Lame Street Media.

    1. On Oct 27, 2003 the Sec of Defense, Douglas Feith, issued a memo to the Senate Intelligence Community. This classified memo was leaked to Hayes, and contained in the opening paragraph this conclusion “ The substantial body of intelligence reporting- for over a decade-from variety of sources-reflects a pattern of Iraqi support for al Qaeda’s activities”.
    2. Bin Laden was not the only foe, that threatened to kill Americans. Beginning with his defeat in the First Gulf War, Hussain insisted for more than a decade, that the conflict was only a temporary setback (would A. Hitler have stopped if he would have been thrown out of Poland in 1939 yet left in power in Germany?) in his continuing war against America. His threats were direct and terrifying.
    Saddam, attempted to make good on those threats. In 1991 he sent intelligence throughout the world to strike at targets. In 1993, he sent a team to Kuwait to assassinate George HW Bush. And in 1998 he sent agents to blow up a US funded Radio station in Prague. While these attempts failed, it does not detract from the fact that Saddam Hussain was committed to terrorism against the USA.
    3. 1992 Iraqi intelligence documents list Osama Bin Laden as an intelligence asset. Sources also cite a 1993 non-aggression pact between Iraq and Al Qaeda. In 1994 Bin Laden asked Iraq for arms and training. In 1995 Senior Al Qaeda leader, Abu Hajer al Iraqi met with Iraqi intelligence agents. In 1996, AQ sent representatives to Iraq to discuss WMD’s In 1997 the Justice department issued and indictment citing Iraqi assistance in AQ weapons development.. In 1998 a Clinton counter terrorism stated we were sure that Iraq and AQ were working together on weapons programs. In 1999, an Iraqi, working closely with the Iraqi embassy in Kuala Lumpur, was seen with Khalid al Mindhar, one of the 9/11 hijackers, for a meeting about the USS Cole bombing. 2000, satellite photos showed AQ members traveling en-mass to an Iraqi training camp and in 2002, Iraq harbored the chemist who mixed the explosives In the AQ 1993 attack on the world trade center. But as Richard Clarke (lied) said “That there is absolutely no evidence that Iraq supported Al Qaeda, ever.

    (And the Lame Street Media, and Progressives swallowed that one whole.)

    4. In fact the same Lame Street Media who in 1999 reported intelligence sources had linked Hussain and Bin Laden, Newsweek, Jan 11 1999. In 1994, (that Conservative rag), USA Today, quoted Senior CIA terrorist analyst Dr. Stanley Bedlington, “We were convinced money from Iraq, was going to Bin Laden, who was then sending it to places Iraq wanted it to go. There is certainly no doubt Saddam Hussain had pretty strong ties to Bin Laden while he was in Sudan.” Colon Powell, in his Feb 3, 2003 report to the UN Security Counsel, reporting on Al Libi, Said that the chemical weapons labs in AG were not good enough, so AQ sought help from Iraq. And the Iraq offered Chemical and Bio weapons training to to AQ operatives, (so much for not having a chemical or bio program eh?) “ Terrorism has been a tool used by Saddam for decades. Saddam was a supporter of terrorism long before these terrorist networks had a name, and this support continues. The nexus of poisons and terror is new, the nexus of Iraq and terror is old. This combination is lethal.”

    The author, Hayes makes it clear from the beginning, that there has yet to be evidence that Iraq helped in any direct way in the 9/11 attacks. But it is clear that if AQ wanted such help it would have been given without reservation.

    The Connection is clear, Iraq was a nation which supported TERRORISM against the United States, and as part of the Bush Doctrine of preemptive action against terrorists and the NATIONS who support them the war in Iraq was justified. It is interesting ( actually sickening) at how the Lame Street Media, has worked so hard to discredit the same stories they so openly printed prior to and after the 9/11 attack. There is a template at work here and it does not reflect the truth.

    It is understandable why George Tennet of the CIA and Richard Clarke would want to hide the truth, they were responsible for protecting this nation, and they dropped the ball, and thousands died, but selling books of lies, they should be prosecuted for treason
    .
    Liberals, progressives and communists require that history be changed to fit their template, the United States is an evil capitalist bigoted nation, and needs to get their comeuppance. 9/11 was such a comeuppance and as such deserved, and anything that gives the US the moral authority to attack and defeat its enemies must be hidden and changed. So we get those that deny the existence of terrorist connections with Iraq, those that deny Iraq had WMD’s and those that became 9/11 truthers denying that there was even an attack, all to justify their anti-bush, anti-american position.

    I don’t know that anything can stop the evil of Islamic fundamentalism, I do know that giving into any demands they make will only lead to more demands, and more attacks, and that the “leadership” is the threat, and the only way to get at the leadership is to go on the offensive where terrorism is harbored, trained and not wait until some indoctrinated fool is in the air over our nation, or setting off a suicide bomb or worse.

    But the TRVTH is out there, let it into your mind.

  • The Reverend

    larry….what the National Guard was in the 1970's has nothing to do with what it was turned into by the Terror Twins in the 00's. Why do you think Poppy got him into the Guard? To avoid facing the "enemy" in Vietnam.

    I'm not bad mouthing the National Guard….far from it. Cokie said this..

    "..it's a particular problem for a Democrat who hasn't served in the military….."

    She was erroneously attributing Bush's almost-completed Guard service with "serving in the military". We didn't include the Guard in "the military" back in the 60's-70's…..we regarded it as a way out of going to Vietnam.

    King…on the attempt to mock me over the underwear bomber guy story…..there are many unanswered questions. We'll probably never find out the truth. There are eyewitness accounts of an "older Indian man" speaking for underwear guy at the airport check in. There seemed to be a problem with underwear guy's having a passport or not.

    What Americans need to know is the names of those who knew what, when, and where about the Nigerian. And then…what did they do or not do with what they knew. Then we would know whether it was allowed purposely.

  • The Reverend

    Andrea delivers the knockout punch….

    " When Palin got away with her lies they all figured they can now do it too, after all many of their supporters will never dig deeper to find out the truth. They have become the party of the stupids."

    Exactimundo.

    Thanks for that name, Andrea. The Party of the Stupids.

  • angry conserv

    Rev,
    Years ago I was in the home insulation buisness and although one does want to prevent drafts etc. a house MUST have the ability to breathe. A house that is too tight can result in mental and pyshical difficulties. I have noticed as the winter has progressed your rants have become shall we say more interesting. You might have a professional check your house and make sure you are receiving oxygen.

  • Andrea

    Da King I didn't say ALL tea baggers are racists – I said the racists found a group to join and hide in. They can't go around anymore wearing their white sheets- doesnt go over too well anymore. I do believe some have other reasons to be part of this movement. But most of Teabaggers aren't really complaining about taxes. Or they are unaware that Obama actually lowered most of their taxes. When they carry a sign using the N word – don't tell me they are not a racist.
    Obama's health care is not socialized medicine. Most of this group is white . Obama isnt more liberal than any other democrat president in the past.
    By all means there are some non racists among them – the ones who want to destroy any democrat because they either work for a health insurance company or some business that will not profit from Obama policies but you are in denial if you don't think this movement being fueled by racists. Go to one of their rallies – go read their signs – and then listen to them talk – I have

  • Andrea

    Rev – Not all republicans are stupid but now the stupids have become a actiive part of their party and if these teabaggers start to dominate the party – well then the name suits them – They are so stupid -they are clueless to what their name teabagger means.

  • averagejoe5

    Andrea what did Palin lie about?

  • larry d.

    That's a racist question, averagejoe. Stop teabagging Andrea.

  • Tbomb

    You could just google Palin lies…

  • Jeff

    Andrea, they are Tea Partiers. It was jerks in the media (who like yourself dont know better) that labeled them tea baggers.

    As for Bush, serving as a fighter pilot, is not service, maybe you need to find out what the duty of the air national guard was in the 1960's and 70's ever here of
    nuclear interdiction? But because the media LII's Liberal Indoctrinated Idiots, about it you believe it.

    What will be the result, when this nation needs to pay the trillions wasted on the stimulus, will be wasted on this health insurance scam, the 106 trillion in unfunded liabilities, (350,000 per person, I dont know about you, but I dont have that kind of coin) what happens when the bill becomes due, right now, if our government confiscated the profits of all the S&P 500 it would take 150 yrs to pay off the debt, the tea partiers know this is not sustainable, and it is not because Barry the Liar is black, kenyan or a martian, it is because our Progressive leaders (both parties) are not listening to the PEOPLE, I have seen the Jerk who writes this blog, say that the PEOPLE have no further say after the election, what bullshit, he would be the first to castigate a Republican congress for not listening to the people, but then he is also a Progressive fool who is just as responsible for the fall of this nation as Wilson, FDR, Carter, Clinton, and Barry, it is the ignorance of the masses like the Blog of Mass Disinformation, that as allowed this communist marxist loving leadership to survive in this nation. What have they given us the FED, who controls our money, hence our lives, and can create inflation, recession, out of thin air, keeping us enslaved to our government. Social Security, another tax lie, the New Deal, the Great Society, all failures from a free and independent nation stand point, medicare medicaide, another cost overrun travesty, the health insurance industry, if it were not for the stupid wage and tax controls of the progressives business would never have started this idiotic path. But then you also deny the existence of Cloward and Piven, and their influence upon the President, and those who surround him, both officially and unofficially.

    Who will pick up the pieces, and will we continue to be free? That is the question the tea partiers ask, and they are concerned that the answer is NO.

  • You lie!

    Hume made his comments Sunday. Rev didn't post this until Wednesday, presumably after he figured out what he wanted to say about the matter – after watching Keith Olbermann Monday or Tuesday night.

    As we all know, if Olbermann didn't say it, it doesn't end up here…

    SO WHAT if they were white, anyway- who cares?

    Does that count for less in your world, somehow? Are they out of fashion, Chris?

    When there’s a legalization rally in LA, does Fox News ever say “yeah, but it was just a bunch of Mexicans”-?

    What a waste of time you are, Tingles- you big dope. Keep your self-loathing to yourself, I’ve got no reason to make any apologies for my heritage… same as anybody else.

  • The Reverend

    Love the small picture of an actor saluting on the last comment.

    Jeff….

    Michael Steele, RNC Chair….

    "change is coming in a tea bag, and that's a beautiful thing."

    "This change, my friends, is being delivered in a tea bag. And that's a wonderful thing."

    Steele, I'm pretty sure, is not , as you said, one of the "jerks in the media."

  • The Reverend

    angry….I can't let your comment go by without commending your humor again.

    My house is tight, no doubt…..but oxygen deprivation doesn't have anything to do with my recent blogs.

    Now, if you'll excuse my brevity, I'm feeling a little light headed.
