OH SHIT DAVID BRODER IS DEAD


WHO CARES

Quote from: CSMonitor
David Broder covered national politics for the Washington Post for 45 years. The Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, who died Wednesday, set an example of fairness and tenacity.

:usacry


But really, not cool when anyone dies (cept maybe Rush, Beck, Savage and Hannity). R.I.P. Sweet Prince :(

fuck that, i'd only need to be respectful if i was talking to his family.  he said loads of stupid things that no doubt made stupid people do stupid things that hurt other people.  there's plenty worse out there, but still fuck him.

The mainstream media reports every trick him and O'Keefe pull despite the long history of fabrications and deceptive editing. Every thing Brietbart does is calculated. Whenever O'Keefe releases a video the first step is to demand the media give them attention or be exposed as liberal gate keepers. The media plays along, then a few days later after the damage is done (ie someone gets fired, or resigns) the media stumbles across what blogs have been reporting for days: the videos are fabricated. At that point Brietbart goes on a short PR campaign slamming the media/liberals and bemoaning double standards, political correctness, etc. Not that it matters considering the right has already won the argument and collected a scalp.

He doesn't deserve a spotlight to defend himself free of any type of opposing view point. All his targets focus on the idiotic guilt-by-association shit conservatives use against Obama (while conveniently ignoring all of Bush's ties shady folk, including the Bin Ladens derp derp). The NPR person was actually leaving the network anyway. Yet because this one person had a little too much real talk for the Beardos of the world, the entire NPR must be destroyed? Because one Planned Parenthood associate didn't call 911 asap, the entire organization should be taken down? Because a couple Acorn people said dumb shit, the entire organization is corrupt? I might as well get my camera and tape Walmart greeters, I can take down a multi billion dollar corporation too.

It's because it gets those ratings/page views.  Breitbart doesn't give a shit whether people buy his defense, he just wants to keep his name on the lips of people before he pulls his next stunt.  Which it will do.  Reminds me of the people that bitch about Sarah Palin selling a book, then buying the book to bash it, and then piss and moan at the high sales of the book.

A great comparison on the right would be the prank call to Scott Walker.  He got burned, but instead of turning over and biting the pillow for the plowing that supposedly goes along with allegedly saying something stupid, he just essentially battened down the hatches, extended his middle finger and now look- he got his union busting bill by hook or by crook.  Pussy ass liberals might learn something from this.

Sarah Palin made a book?  How cute.  How many pictures did she draw in it herself?   :lol

Obama was responsible for Manning's treatment as soon as he gave that "we've asked the military..." statement.

Firing Crowley is about keeping everyone on message.  You can't get caught bad-mouthing another part of the administration and expect to keep your job.  Ask Stanley McChrystal.

That's true. I'm beyond disappointed in Obama's "he's being treated well because the Pentagon told me so" response, which was Bush/LBJ-esque; he is being tortured. I realize Manning did a pretty idiotic, illegal thing be he hasn't been charged or tried.

Also, what the hell:

Quote
From: Sen.Fitzgerald
Sent: Monday, March 14, 2011 3:52 PM
To: *Legislative Senate Republicans
Subject: Senate Democrat voting privileges in standing committees

Dear Members,

With the return of the Senate Democrats this weekend, questions have arisen regarding Democrat members’ participation in Senate standing committee public hearings and executive sessions.

Please note that all 14 Democrat senators are still in contempt of the Senate. Therefore, when taking roll call votes on amendments and bills during executive sessions, Senate Democrats’ votes will not be reflected in the Records of Committee Proceedings or the Senate Journal. They are free to attend hearings, listen to testimony, debate legislation, introduce amendments, and cast votes to signal their support/opposition, but those votes will not count, and will not be recorded.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact my office.

Thank you,

Scott Fitzgerald
Senate Majority Leader
13th Senate District

I don't think Boehner or McConnell are particularly serious about much of anything outside of making their donors richer, but they aren't stupid. They've been elected officials long enough to know the dangers of a government shut down, and they both were around when Gingrich did it; in fact that farce is what put Boehner on track to become the minority leader.

That can't be said of the tea party folks, some of whom don't know what they're playing with, and others simply don't care. They're more concerned about raking in donations and ensuring a further right candidate can't challenge them in two years. Democrats are finally pulling back and saying hey, we've offered some concessions while you guys have offered nothing, screw you. Eventually this "fund the government 2weeks at a time" bullshit is going to stop and they'll need to come up with a compromise.

This is why Obama will probably win in 2012. The GOP is being held hostage by a group of insane people, and they're more energized than the George Will types who sit on the sidelines pouting. Whoever gives them the most red meat is going to get their vote.

I hope that by Fall 2012, the teabagging movement will be on an irreversible decline.  Glenn Beck supposedly has lost about a million viewers in the past few months and I don't think the GOP is too happy about the tea party alternatives costing a few sure things (Colorado, Delaware, Nevada, etc.) that probably would have meant controlling the Senate.  I'm probably being too optimistic but it seems like luck is starting to run out for them, with tea party paymasters dropping out of the movement and funding safer and saner candidates (ie, not Palin, Bachmann, or DeMint) for 2012.

The problem is that primaries are dominated on a grassroots level, and the GOP grassroots is crazy. Nearly half of primary voters think Obama isn't a US citizen. If they manage to rally around one candidate, he or she could win early states like Iowa, SC, and maybe NH given all the crazy stories coming from there recently.

It's also very likely they'll split the vote enough for someone like Pawlenty or Huck to get through

Today in the Kansas House Appropriations Committee, during a discussion about methods used to exterminate feral swine (which include shooting them from a helicopter), Rep. Virgil Peck (R- Tyro) suggested that Kansas should use the same approach to address immigration.

“It looks like to me if shooting these immigrating feral hogs works maybe we have found a [solution] to our illegal immigration problem,” said Peck.

Peck was approached by press after the committee meeting. He was unapologetic and said he was “just joking.”

"I was just speaking like a southeast Kansas person," Peck said to the Lawrence Journal Word.

In a Fox Business Network interview, Former Vice President Dan Quayle defended President Obama from Republican criticism that he plays too much golf when there are so many troubles around the world.

Said Quayle: "I'm glad he's out playing golf. I happen to be a golfer. I think presidents deserve down time. And believe me, he is in constant communication with what's going on... I mean, what do you want him to do, stay in his house and be on the phone with the ambassador to Japan all the time?"
