Republican Hero: James von Brunn (Right Wing Terrorist of the Week)

Last week we were subjected to a Rethug terrorist who assassinated a doctor. In church.

This week, we are confronted with a Racist Republican who stormed the Holocaust Museum in DC and wanted to kill as many as he could but was shot by a guard, who later died. James von Brunn is this asshat’s name, and he has a history of hate. Talking Points Memo has some more at their right wing extremism section, as does HuffPo.

Once again, Republicans who can’t win at the ballot box (even by cheating) believe they HAVE to control the conversation. So instead of trying to make winning arguments and policies, they resort to killing those who don’t agree with them. More to the point, killing those they HATE.

Honestly, if my choice in an election was a bag of dog crap and a Republican, I’d vote for the poop.

Why I don’t pay for the local Vegas paper

First off, I love newspapers. I even read the rural conservative ones we got in Illinois just to get the local news.

However, the piece of crap we are stuck with here in Las Vegas, the Review-Journal is a hate-filled, ultra-conservative piece of dogshit. And that’s me being polite about it.

Today’s opinion pages had this insult to intelligence bashing the TARP plan. Look, there are a lot of reasons not to like bailing out corrupt bankers, but none of the ones in this editorial applies. In fact, it seems to have been written by a fifth grade kid stuck in a Republican household trying to impress his Klan daddy.

What’s worse is when they borrow syndicated info from folks like the psycho/idiot goons at the Reverend Moon’s Washington Times. The RJ wasn’t even brave enough to link this on their own site so I had to go find it. Whoever this Diana West is, she appears to be a vile, dirty piece of excrement, at least according to this commentary. And as filthy as she is, she’s even prouder of the Time‘s Frank Gaffney who delight in mischaracterizing our president as some low-rent al-Qaeda wannabe.

These animals should be glad that progressives and liberals are not as fearful and hateful as they are. Otherwise they’d probably already be renditioned and treated to some of the lovely torture they get all wet and hard for.

Grand Old Terrorists

“When left-wing extremists burn down a ski lodge or free lab animals, they’re called eco-terrorists and they’re investigated and prosecuted under terrorism laws. When a right-wing extremist kills a doctor, he’s charged with murder.”

– Reddit comment on Scott Roeder only being charged for murder

I find it bizarre that you can perform an assassination in this country and only be up for murder charges. That is, only if you are doing the bidding of the Talibangelical terrorists. Call this what it is: terrorism, and go after the people that motivate, fund, and support these freaks.

This crap doesn’t belong in America and the less Roeders and McVeighs we have in this country, the better off we’ll all be.

Meanwhile, a lawyer in Philly cheers on a mob of vigilantes who beat up a guy accused of rape. Oh, yes, they beat up the wrong guy. I heard this at lunch and was sickened to see this crap.

Look, 24 is a pornographic torture lovers show. It is FICTION. And hey, I enjoyed watching Boondock Saints but I’m pretty sure I’d move out from anywhere that used it as a basis for a justice system.

I don’t get conservatives and their hatred of due process, of their need to torture and kill regardless of the facts. And they have the balls to call themselves patriots? Maybe if they stop using the Constitution as asswipe and read their bibles instead of using it as a coffee table prop, they’d realize how wrong they are.

Parents Pulling the Plugs on Williamsburg Trust-Funders – NYTimes.com

Oh look!

Yet ANOTHER! New York Times article on how we’re supposed to feel bad for all those poor widdle trust fund babies who are suddenly being cut off by their newly broke parents.

And gasp! Some of them have to WORK! A whole EIGHT HOURS A WEEK!

THE HORROR!

I am getting really damned tired of these stories on the rich suddenly having to face reality. I know I shouldn’t even link you to them, but dear lord these are just awful, awful people. They should be lined up so we can laugh at them and mock them.

To date, none of the stories I’ve linked describe people who give anything of value to our society. Maybe “roughing it” will aid in doing so. Otherwise, what benefit does it provide to try to elicit pity from us? It obviously doesn’t work for me, and I can’t imagine a lot of folks it would get a tear from.

Psst…GOP. The racists are in your mirrors every morning.

“Rush Limbaugh is in the news. Last week, Rush Limbaugh said that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was a racist. But this week, Rush says he may support her. Yeah. Limbaugh says that he can’t support Sotomayor until he’s 100% sure she’s a racist.”

– Conan O’Brien

You really gotta hand it to these Rethugs. The circular logic is painful to behold.

Here is what Okies think of the Sotomayor nomination:

I am SO glad I don’t live there anymore.

Well done.

Land deals in Africa and Asia: Cornering foreign fields | The Economist

I read this alarming story on how the Chinese and some Arab nations are buying up farm land in the poorest nations on Earth.

Aside from the obvious abuses of the land (I refer you to any farm bought out by an ag giant here in the US), you are looking at foreign government control of another sovereign nations resources. It kills innovation and crop diversity outright. Basically, if the US bought the Amazon to be clear-cut for wood paneling the world would be justifiably pissed off. This isn’t much different than that.

Rush Limbaugh’s new low – Joan Walsh – Salon.com

Rush Limbaugh. STILL a huge piece of shit. Honestly, I saw Ann Coulter on CBS this morning (they’ve also had RimJob on recently) and I don’t get it. Why should anyone pretending to be a respectable news agency have these folks on? It’s like trying to get a legitimate viewpoint from Andy Dick. You *might* get something, but odds are you’re going to have to wade through a lot of crap first.

“I don’t hide from it. I do want and I still want Obama to fail… I define America succeeding by virtue of Obama failing. I love America!”

Mary Alice Carr – Why I’ll No Longer Be on Bill O’Reilly’s Show – washingtonpost.com

A well, meaning liberal finally wises up to why feeding the beast is a bad idea. Thus, after aiding and abetting O’Reilly in persuading people to kill abortion doctors, she now can no longer go on his show.

Look, if the guy was actually willing to allow other points of view to exist in his Shit Zone, you’d have a point. But he doesn’t, so I can’t see how that is a great idea at all. At least you woke up to it.
