"Our master is common sense and God. I don't think right now you have either
one on your side." -- Glenn Beck, railing at those who wanted health
care, Link
Crazy bastard, wasn't it Jesus himself who said,
"You cannot serve two masters?"
You certainly cannot worship common sense and the Invisible Cloud
Being at the same time.
Excerpt: For the last several years, Sean Hannity and
the Freedom Alliance "charity" have conducted "Freedom Concerts"
across America. They say they are raising money
to pay for the college tuition of the children of fallen soldiers and
to pay severely wounded war vets...But it’s all
a huge scam. In fact, less than 20%–and in two recent years, less than
7% and 4%, respectively–of the money raised by
Freedom Alliance went to these causes, while millions of dollars went
to expenses, including consultants and apparently
to ferry the Hannity posse of family and friends in high style. And...few
of the children of fallen soldiers got more than
$1,000-$2,000, with apparently none getting more than $6,000, while
Freedom Alliance appears to have spent tens of
thousands of dollars for private planes. Moreover, despite written
assurances to donors that all money raised would
go directly to scholarships for kids of the fallen heroes and not to
expenses, has begun charging expenses of nearly
$500,000 to give out just over $800,000 in scholarships.
Of course, the Democrats will let this go because listing the facts
is impolite.
I think you should be aware of one of the most
despicable things I have ever heard of.
It seems that "patriotic" right-wing demagogue
Sean Hannity, who lies INCESSANTLY about every public issue imaginable,
has been SCAMMING MONEY FROM HIS PHONY "VETERANS
CHARITY". The shocking details are here:
It's time we showed grifters like Hannity that
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! How could ANYONE leech money
from generous donors, intended for wounded vets,
and channel it into his own pockets?
Spread the word on this folks: it's time to bring
Sean Hannity down!

Funny, I haven't seen this on FOX News or O'Reilly.
I guess it's OK to steal from the widows and orphans of dead war heroes?
"Well, now that we know that it cost a trillion
dollars and all of these years and all of these lives and all of this blood,
uh, I don’t know many...All I can say is the people, everybody I know thinks it was a mistake
to go in now." -- Rethug Dana Rohrabacher
(R-CA), asked to estimate the percentage of Rethugs in Congress
who share his view that the decision to go into Iraq was a horrible mistake,
Link
He hasn't talked to the Bush bastards - they're still proud of
their decision/abomination.
I wouldn't trust the New Whore Times to tell me
the Earth orbits the Sun.
As for "backroom deals," they're NEVER simple
enough to describe in one sentence.
I don't doubt that there were a variety of deals
cut. But the fact that the repugnantcans
are universally opposed to anything President
Obama does, no matter what excuse they
have to invent, tells me all I need to know.
This corporate-media-whore lie is being spread
BY the lobbyists, aided by the phony
DINOs like Stupid-ak, who is so "pro-life" that
he wants thousands of more people to DIE
because they can't afford medical treatment.
The DieHard
Subject: Catholic Child Sex Scandals
Supports Atheism
I have a message for my believing friends and
it's something that believers should think about.
As a realist who doesn't believe in God I am
often challenged to open my heart and let Jesus in.
I am reluctant to do so without any evidence
that God exists.
I am told that when one becomes a believer that
they have a personal relationship with God and
the God transforms you and you become one with
the Lord. So from my point of view I should be
able to see the difference in the behavior of
those who believe as compared to those who don't believe.
But I'm not seeing it.
Especially in the latest news coming out about
the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church.
If there is an omnipotent God, you wouldn't be
raping children - period! The Catholic Church would not
be covering up for those priests who are raping
children. Admittedly, this doesn't prove that God doesn't exist,
but it does prove that the Catholic Church does
not have a personal relationship with an omnipotent God,
because if they did this sort of thing simply
would not occur.
Turning to your Bible the standard is "You will
know them by their fruits." Clearly the Catholics have
failed the "fruit test" because of the pervasive
raping of children and the cover up by the Vatican.
As to the rest of the believers, you aren't
going to convert Atheists unless you can show us that God
actually has transformed your life in a way that
is observable to the reality based world. Even if God can't be
observed directly, if you claim God has changed
your life then those changes should be observable in your life
and in your religious group as a whole. And if
these changes aren't observable then we in the reality based
community aren't going to listen to what you
have to say. If you are going to convert Atheists you are going
to have to pass your "Fruit Test" to get our
attention.
Excerpt: That is the cover of Newsweek from the first
week of March, the month in which we will mark the
seventh anniversary of the invasion and occupation
of Iraq. It was 2,555 days ago this Saturday, in fact,
when televisions all across America lit up with
the pyrotechnic images of "Shock and Awe," when
explosions and fire roared over the city of Baghdad,
when men, women and children were incinerated,
when we all became war criminals whether we liked
it or not.
The article behind that triumphalist cover argued
that this last election in Iraq is proof positive our war
has at long last borne the fruits of true democracy
in that nation, wiping the bloody slate clean and
expunging all the grievous errors and tragedies
which preceded it. A nice storyline, that, but it's one
we've heard a number of times before. Remember
the ink-stained fingers held up by Iraqis after one such
election? Those who pushed for war declared that
to be Victory at Last, too. It wasn't. Neither is this.
Subject: Re: Survivor is
being pre-empted - for f-ing basketball.
Bart: It's all about the money! There's
BIG money in sports, and this is the NCAA Tournament.
MARCH MADNESS, don't you know?
Besides Eldrick, is there anything more
hyped than "March Madness?" Those idiot announcers
get wood talking about "the
sweet sixteen Cinderella is going to the prom." The whole thing makes me want to f-ing hurl.
Besides, there a a whole bunch of us who would
rather watch a good college basketball game
than all the lying, cheating, and back-stabbing
that goes on every week among those a**holes on Survivor.
You like politics but you hate the lying, cheating,
and back-stabbing?
Survivor is real in that if you and 19 others
were stranded on an island with no food and no matches
and no blankets, etc, you'd have to find a way
to elect a boss or you'd probably die within days.
College basketball is little more than amateurs
squeaking their shoes for two hours..
I've often wondered if Survivor isn't scripted.
I've often wondered why basketball is considered
a sport.
When I got to see LeBron James, at least I got
to see a brother fly.
College basketball is little more than missed
shots and personal fouls.
It's my Kentucky team that pre-empted Survivor,
so don't put any hex on us.
To each his own.
Bill in Versailles, KY
If you turned on your sports channel to watch
two hours of squeaking shoes and got
an episode of Survivor, instead, I doubt
if you would say, "To each his own."
There are 1,000 channels.
CBS should buy a sports channel and telecast
the squeaking sillyness there.
Oh well, CBS will be out of business soon and it won't be a problem.
Note: Because of f-ing basketball, CBS pushed back The Amazing Race
so Mrs Bart missed that.
She lost Race and Survivor in the same week - she is
not happy.
"The single best interview of Obama in a year,
by any reporter. FOX's Bret Baier was resilient in the face of the president's obvious
attempts to run down the clock by stonewalling; Bret continually hammered a series of questions the
president did not want, and yet he was polite in explaining to the president the meaning of the questions
just in case they were not what the president was familiar with..." -- Seth Leibson, explainging that
niggers are stupid, and they need to have questions broken down
and the
meaning of the words explained to them because, after all, they're niggers,

"Obama blinked. By canceling his trip to Asia,
he reset the ticking time clock that might have forced House Democrats to hold a vote
before he left on Sunday. In effect, he concluded that Air Force One could wind up grounded
by the congressional foot-dragging. Wouldn't it have been more dramatic if he had kept the
plane revving its engines on the tarmac, a visible reminder of the need for a vote? What
a split-screen moment that would have been." -- Howie Kurts (R-Idiot.handjob) saying winning
is no good without extra drama, Link
Howie, you should be grateful Blitzer works there because as
long as he does,
you'll never be the biggest douche at CNN.
Let's not forget - these bastards
tried to take down our president.

Dude, I'm glad you don't own a used car lot - you'd be broke in a year.
You'd be at the auction every Friday, buying up all those great Monte
Carlos and Cavaliers.
But the car lot down the block is buying Hondas and Toyotas and his
customers
are making their payments on time because their cars are still
running.
I wish things were better for Detroit, but you can't say, "Screw

"Sen. John Ensign (R) of Nevada is caught in
a truly humiliating sex scandal -- and remember, the media generally loves political sex scandals --
involving a shameless hypocrite, who ran on a 'family-values' platform, committing adultery with one of his own aides,
who happens to be married to another aide. The scandal involves the immediate affair, plus alleged ethics
violations, hush money, and official corruption. And yet, no media frenzy. No reporters staked out in front of Ensign's
home. No op-eds speculating about the need for Ensign to resign in disgrace. Republicans...have demanded higher
moral standards of all of us, while failing to meet these standards themselves -- and failing to ostracize the
guilty from their ranks. It's quite a racket, which the media encourages by playing along." -- Steve Benen Link
Biggest Democratic victory in 40 years over unanimous
Republican opposition and a Fox News-led
racist campaign against Obama and his supporters
and you get struck dumb for two days?!?
The Democrats stand up and fight against lying,
cheating Republicans willing to say anything to stop
the vote -- the kind of fight you have been saying
for too long the Democrats don't have in them
-- and you fall silent in a Chinaco stupor?!?
I hope there's a good reason and you're not dead
or something.

Excerpt: "When I screamed 'baby killer' at Stupak, I didn't
mean HE was a baby killer."
Fuck you, liar.
You and Joe Wilson have the same lack of brain cells.
You're from the Pigboy/Beck school of debate.
You have no facts and no truth so you scream louder than the others.
Excerpt: Some Teabaggers say they can pinpoint the moment
when they made it clear to the GOP
that they had no intention of being its lapdog.
That sentence is more poorly constructed than
a Haiti orphanage.
Bartcop says he can point to the exact moment
when he flew to the Moon.
In February, Michael Tom Steele met with more
than 50 Teabaggers. Steele had invited them to the Capitol Hill Club,
built as a clubhouse for the party's top brass
next door to RNC headquarters. Not long into the meeting JoAnn Abbott,
a Teabagger who calls herself the 'Tea Party
Grandma,' raised her hand to ask a question.
She asked about an RNC web page where visitors
could send a member of Congress a postcard with a tea bag.
On the tag at the end of the string were the
letters 'RNC.'
"While we do not have a trademark on the tea bag,
people associate it with the Tea Party movement,"
Abbott told Steele. "If you co-opt that image,
you damage our brand and weaken our movement."
What a crock of shit.
Fifty people show up for free booze and that constitutes "a movement?"
And damage your brand?
You mean there's something left to damage after you invited The Publicity
Whore to lead your convention?
What, Ann Coulter had a prior committment?
You ignorant handjobs are the stupid wing of the GOP.
You're Republicans with fewer teeth and worse spelling.
Excerpt: The Pope played a leading role in a systematic
cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests,
according to a shocking documentary to be screened
by the BBC tonight.
In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a
secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world,
instructing them to put the Church's interests
ahead of child safety.
The document recommended that rather than reporting
sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities,
bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses
and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet,
it threatened that if they repeat the allegations
they would be excommunicated.
Before being elected Pope, the pontiff was Tommy
the Rat who had, for 24 years, been the head of the
powerful Congregation of the Doctrine of The
Faith, the department of the Roman Catholic Church charged
with promoting Catholic teachings on morals and
matters of faith. An arch-Conservative, he was regarded as the 'enforcer' of Pope John Paul II in cracking
down on liberal challenges to traditional Catholic teachings.
Liberals aren't into raping children - so Benny (or Tommy, at the time)
hates
liberals.
Benny the Rat is Cheney in a skirt.
He was the previous Pope's enforcer.
Excerpt: The basics of Adolf Eichmann's story are well
documented: Known as the "architect of the Holocaust"
for his role in coordinating the Nazi genocide
policy, he fled Germany, was captured in Argentina by
Israel's Mossad, and hanged after trial in Jerusalem.
But Germany's intelligence service, the BND, is
sitting on 4,500 pages of files on Eichmann a reporter
thinks could fill in gaps about his postwar life:
Who helped him escape? How much did Germany know
about where he was? Is there more to the story
of his capture?
The files could also help shed light on claims
that the Vatican helped war criminals hide or escape
after World War II – allegations church officials
have always strenuously denied.
"I like when you do that to me. I want to be
deep inside you. Maybe in two weeks in chicago. I need that
so bad. Have you ever had a golden shower? (That's
a urine bath direct from the source)
I would wear you out. I would love to
have the ability to make you sore. I would like to hold you down and choke you
while I fuck that ass that I own. In a week. I will try to wear you out. After
i cum you better start sucking my cock to get it hard..."
-- Eldrick, (R-Idiot) texting Joslyn James, putting the evidence against
him in writing, Link
Then he demands to know if she's "seeing" other people.
Hey, asshole, YOU'RE MARRIED!
James said Eldrick got her pregnant - twice.
Howard Stern had three Eldrick mistresses on his show and
they said Eldrick "never" used protection.
Really, Eldrick?
You were with all those women and porn stars - with no protection?
You put your sexual greed above your wife's safety?
The cops say the laws don't apply to you and you should be grateful
for that.
You could be charged with depraved indifference for exposing
your wife to
potentially lethal diseases - but I'm sure the cops will agree
to look the other way.
Joslyn
James says she quit porn
because Eldrick was jealous.
How can Eldrick become a marketing hero again after
asking Joslyn James to try that golden shower business?
Excerpt: The Boy Scouts have long kept an extensive archive
of secret documents that chronicle the sexual abuse
of young boys by Scout leaders over the years.
The "perversion files," a nickname the Boy Scouts use for the
documents, have rarely been seen by the public,
but that could all change in the coming weeks in an Oregon courtroom.
The lawyer for a man who was molested by a Scout
leader has obtained about 1,000 Boy Scouts sex files
and is expected to release some of them at a
trial that began Wednesday. The lawyer says the files show how
the Boy Scouts have covered up abuse for decades.
Subject: Sheldon Cooper, genius,

Hey Bart,
I was just watching "the Big Bang Theory" and
Sheldon told a Jewish guy
"There's no reason the Sonoran Desert can't
serve as a new promised land. They
can call it Nuevo Jerusalem."
Bart, thanks for continuing the fight. I've plagiarized
your speech pattern for my own,
"sackless, spineless, don't want to fight, won't
come to work," etc. I didn't like the hiring
