Ingrate!
*ruffling feathers*
[/moonbat]
Thank you very, very much. You see us poor helpless inferior blacks (oh forgive me, I must be politically correct, “African Americans"), and you want to help us using your superior intellect. After all, we could not possibly succeed in this racist, homophobic and greedy country without your assistance.

Call to Service Him
WTF’nFF?!?
I caught Glenn Beck’s discussion of ∏eh iW∅n©DM‘s “Service Corps,” about which we have heard little but which seems to be coming along apace.
*shivers*
Then I run across this:
Backed by the full weight of President Barack Obama’s call to service and the institutional weight of the NEA, the conference call was billed as an opportunity for those in the art community to inspire service in four key categories, and at the top of the list were “health care” and “energy and environment.” The service was to be attached to the President’s United We Serve campaign, a nationwide federal initiative to make service a way of life for all Americans. ...
[Interesting details and research - worth the *click*—C]
[final para:] ...I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “

Here's that "More" I mentioned
wheredahell has Claire been?!?
Jackson
And that’s where Claire’s been.
Jackson is our new “rescue horse.” He wasn’t intended to be a rescue, mind you, but he had “a little trim” on his feet the day before we met him. His personality was such, we grabbed him on the spot. Then he got more and more footsore—not less as would be expected. Or normal. Turns out some freakinmoronwhooughtabeshot trimmed his heels too low and it’ll take about a month til he grows out and is sound again.
Rly. It didn’t look that bad at the time—and I was really taken with his personality/temprament. And The Mister was really taken with his movement [and, yes, *bangs head on fence* his looks] that we took him home.
So we have a real nice pasture ornament for a while. He’s so responsive, I’m sure he’ll learn al sorts of silly tricks by the time he’s ridable again. He already learned to give back rubs [with his lip] from his pasture mate, Pushkin—who loooves a good backrub. And gives a good backrum—‘cept for that tendency toward an overenthusiastic nip now and again....

El Rubber Nose Rojo
way to frame Teh Narrative, caballeros
Rly? Do they think this will persuade/intimidate anyone? Or is it just an inadvertent stroll down Main Street with their dress caught in the back of their pantyhose?
HAVANA (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is trying to make positive changes in the United States, but is being fought at every turn by right-wingers who hate him because he is black, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Tuesday.
...the “powerful extreme right won’t be happy with anything that diminishes their prerogatives in the slightest way.”
Obama does not want to change the U.S. political and economic system, but “in spite of that, the extreme right hates him for being African-American and fights what the president does to improve the deteriorated image of that country,” Castro wrote.
“I don’t have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program to get him out of the game one way or another, at the least political cost,” he said.
At least he’s got this goin’ fer him…
His latest column comes during a visit to Cuba by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson that has stirred speculation that he may try to push U.S.-Cuba relations forward....
Obama has said he wants to end 50 years of hostilities between the United States and Cuba...

Teh Narrative
Big Floppy Shooz, Red Rubber Nose Morph
A clearer, more overt example I’ve never seen.
Here’s the headline:
White anger fueling health care debate
Ex-Marine Jack Burke went toe-to-toe with his congresswoman at a street fair in San Carlos last week, convinced President Barack Obama’s health care reform would mean politicians, not doctors, would make his medical decisions.
It wasn’t just health care making him angry, Burke said a few moments later. It was Obama’s plan to limit global warming; it was the auto industry and all the other bailouts; AND it was health care. The retiree said it all felt so wrong, so contrary to how he was raised.
“I just feel the government is intruding in our lives,” Burke said.
Rational fella. I agree.
These guys, not so much.
With the civic dialogue aflame with phrases like “death panels” and “the blood of tyrants,” conversations with voters like Burke suggest more is brewing in the nation’s troubled soul than a debate over the mechanics of health care reform. Many say the tempest over health care has its origin in the new administration’s breathtaking pace of change and in the long-term social and demographic trends that helped put the nation’s first African-American president in the White House.
But there is also a powerful social catalyst: The recession has savaged whites and middle-aged men to a degree unseen in most people’s lifetimes. And that has helped make many in those groups desperately, angrily anxious about change.
No - couldn’t possibly be about a discussion of government intrusion into the lives of free citizens—nor the lack of support for any of these programs to be found in The Constitution…
Just nine months after the historic election of the first African-American president set off an apparent glow of racial reconciliation
As observed in Henry Gates’ reaction to a police officer doing his job.
conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan invoked an icon of the 1990s culture wars — the “Angry White Man” — to explain the outcry over health care reform.
note the professionalism in the cite and link to the original...*cough*
Nationwide, there have been other signs of the Angry White Man phenomenon. The numbers of racial hate groups and anti-government citizen militias are surging. Guns sales appear to be climbing. Complaints of racial discrimination in much of the Bay Area and across the country are running higher than they have in at least a decade.
Evidence of ∏eh W∅n’s healing of Teh Racial Divide? No. Evidence of your racism. You didn’t buy that sidearm cuz you liked it, or even because you saw the trend toward outlawing all firearms—you bought that dang thing cuz yer a raaaacist bassturd. See now?
the continued viral spread of rumors by “the Birthers” ...bla bla bla… The uncontrolled presence of the Internet and competing philosophies guiding radio and cable news networks have all added fuel to the war of words.
Damn those “competing philosophies”!!
"Some of it is not about health care, let’s face it,” said Richard Czik, former vice president of governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals, a health care reform advocate who is organizing a moderate Christian association called the New Evangelicals. “Some of it has to be about an obvious rejection of Obama’s legitimacy as president. You wouldn’t get this anger, represented by the hate-mongering you see. Some of it is directed against the president, with some pretty deep-seated attitudes."
See: “Chimpy McBusHitler” etc.
They quote someone who makes the obvious point that the health care debate is not about race but, well, about health care. Then they plunge headlong into unemployment rates for white fellas over age 55 [highest since the 1950’s] and arrive at the foregone conclusion: if yer out of work and yer white you hate ∏eh W∅n because he’s shhhhh black.
A veritable paean to Logic.
Aside from the health care debate, there are numerous signs that racial tension may be on the rise.
The federal government has noted a 25 percent uptick in complaints of racial discrimination since 2006
Which has what to do with ∏eh W∅n?
Meanwhile, one prominent watchdog organization has documented a surge in the number of racial hate groups,
That “watchdog” is Southern Poverty Law Center—some kinda dog, indeed.
"Reagan’s California exists today only on the commemorative license plate. That California that elected him governor twice and president twice is no more,”... He believes some of the anger behind the health care debate is from “a sense that power has shifted in the country, and the country they thought they knew doesn’t exist anymore.” [said John Kenneth White, a presidential scholar at the Catholic University of America]
See?!?!?! Even the fella’s dang name sez it all!!!
*face palm*
Here’s what kind of coverage it rated in the honkey cracker whiter part of the East [SF] Bay:
oops—later that same day:
I guess if they keep this level of bombardment with Teh Narrative it goes from outright self-beclownment, as with MSLSD, to the acceptable norm.

Beclowning Teh Narrative
more than usual...
And they wonder why we call ‘em MSLSD…
[on the Healthcare Protests] “...We’ve been talking about whether this has racial overtones. Here you have a man of color in the Presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists…
Here’s the screencap from their report. Mysterious headless
honkeyclingy redneckwhite person. That’s all they showed of him.
Here’s a cap from another station’s report of the same TH meeting.
Yep—same pants, belt, shirt, weapon.
BTW, the other station managed to get a face shot along with their interview. The fella was articulate and clearly made his points, for a
crackerdumbass redneckignorant raacist.

...uh, wait.
Way more at Ace who has the full vids and more—which I recommend reading for the exquisite take-down of that nooz reader.

Roll Out the Astroturf
and we’ll sing re-education camp songs in 4-part disharmony and roast marshmallows around the flames of the ConstitutionWell, the AxelTurf email
virusviral HealthCareInsuranceNationalizationImprovement Memo has been out there all day, and some interesting things have sprung up. Maybe some dots to connect. Maybe some patterns. Maybe just too much heat and iced coffee....--> John David Lewis put out some very reasonable questions citing details of HR 3200 and saying, “I would rather have used my time in other ways—but this is too important to ignore.”
shorter version here--> FOXNooz’s Major Garret asked the Obamaberry Press Boy Gibbs about a stack of emails Garret had received from folks who had received AxelTurf’s missive despite having had no communication with the White House, the Obama Campaign or anything related. Garret posed the reasonable question, “where did you get your mailing list from?” Gibbsy da Goon spluttered around quite ineffectually for rather a long time and then wandered off. Ineffectually. As is his wont.
video hereI heard on some random talk shows today that they’d also heard from listeners who had gotten Teh AxelTurf Email and didn’t know why/how, so it’s apparently wide-spread. [*checks email* nope. nuttin’ rly?!?? after all my hard work - nuttin?!?!? amateur noob.]
--> Here’s another demonstration of ∏eh n∅∅b’s sophistication, cooool and executive competence: remember that well-researched intelligence-based DHS “threat assessment” about us right-wingnut extremists and any/all veterans being domestic terrorist incubators? [in the days before we were Crypto-Nazi Raacist Mobsters. *sigh* good times...] yeah.... not so much:
Americans for Limited Government filed a Freedom of Information request in April demanding all documents related to the drafting of the controversial “right-wing extremism” memo. ... an interim response from the Department [was received including] 217 pages, , “releasable in their entirety, all of which are publicly available,” according to the DHS FOIA response. All of the data used by the Department are available via the Internet. A summary of the web-links is included here.
[slow-load PDF warning]It includes regular news stories from usatodaytoday, cnn, the csmonitor, Huffingtonpost and the washingtonpost. [HuffPo?!? hm… ‘Turfing pays off in powah! Also “credibility."] It also cites [10 out of 51 listed - 19.6%] articles from the Southern Poverty Law Center [whose lead article today is about the “antigovernment militia movement is surging across the country"] and 11 cites from a website called WhatDoesItMean.com. [11 out of 51 - 21.6%]
Their lead article todayTheir site prompted a spam/BS warning [which I never see] when I attempted to open the page. Go see at your own risk. [or use your moonbat cousin’s ‘puter] I heard it described on the raadio [I forget who] as being brightly decorated with unicorns, faeries and flying saucers and having articles explaining how the US Gubbmint is communicating with aliens on a regular basis. [No; not raaacist. The little green ones—not the little brown ones. BEMs, Baby. BEMs.]So that’s clearly a serious source of intelligence for our DHS to be basing terrorist watch lists to put citizens on.
--> OTOH, in an apparent attempt to clean up those rampant list problems,
The White House is reversing a nine-year-old policy forbidding the use of tracking cookies on those who visit federal websites.
...OMB is now seeking to change that policy and is considering the use of cookies for tracking web visitors across multiple sessions and storing their unique preferences and surfing habits. Though this is a major shift in policy, the announcement of this program consists of only a single page from the federal register that contains almost no detail.
...The use of cookies allows a website to differentiate between users and build a database of each user’s viewing habits and the information they share with the site. ...[As well as collecting information entered and] search request terms, the use of cookies frequently allows a user’s identity and web surfing habits to be linked. In addition, websites can allow third parties, such as advertisers, to also place cookies on a user’s computer.

Well, dang...
the Race Card didn’t work—let’s try this
Keeping in mind that there is one major bill in the House, several in the Senate and Zeer∅∅∅ from ∏eh iW∅n, WTH basis do they have for “refuting” anything?!?
“Shut UP!!” they explained.
Feeling victimized by misinformation spread virally through the Internet, the White House Thursday is launching its own “viral e-mail” for supporters to spread.
...The e-mail outlines 24 points — eight ways the Democrats’ health care reform measures will, in Axelrod’s view, “provide security and stability to those with or without coverage,” eight “common myths” about reform, and eight reasons why reform is an urgent matter.
The e-mail also features a Web video from White House health care reform czar Nancy-Ann DeParle [video here]
So they can make these flat statements based on nothing: no finalized bill, no uuunified proposed bill. Nuttin, Honey.
Read it for yourself—fisk as necessary.

???
Where are the gajillions of $$$ from the insurance companies protesting the end of their industry by Federal fiat?
Srsly. While we’ve been decrying ∏eh R∅∅kie’s characterization of swastika-carryin’ crypto-mobs funded by insurance companies, we’ve failed to notice that the Insurance Companies are strangely absent from this discussion—a discussion about their future existence.
WTH!?!
What would you do if the gubbmint threatened to nationalize your business?
"Small engine repair is a right!” “Free lithography for all!”
“Free Housing is a right!”
“Free clothing NOW!!”
“Food for people not for profit!”
wait—that one is realTo compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

"I just wanna be a nice guy."
rly?!?
As I dropped in a little political talk t’other day, tryin to edjamakate one of our young cowboys, he actually said that as he refused to have an opinion: “I just wanna be a nice guy.”
I reminded him that “nice guys” end up as slaves. No response but an *eye roll*. Then I reminded him, slaves don’t get to own cows. Thought I saw a little flicker, there. Hope springs eternal.
All that was to lead to the spreading discussion about how “effective” or “destrutive” to the Conservative point of view are those protesters who hoot ‘n’ holler in town hall meetings, and the outright, spluttering anger of those who speak.
Never mind that this discussion never took place when Sheehan and the Code Pinkos were screeching from a ditch—and being given seats to Congressional hearings. There aremerits to both sides.
Calm, reasoned questions citing facts and quoting bits of HR 3200 will persuade some fence-sitters and some who have not yet began to study the issues. OTOH, those who are sitting at home, throwing things at their TV and thinking they’re alone in their rage cannot help but be encouraged by seeing folke like them showing up and speaking their minds clearly and angrily—even if not with the aplomb that is [incorrectly] attributed to our TOTUS.
The thing is, most of these folks are normal, every day type citizens. They’ve not been desensitized like we political junkies have to the lying, the name-calling and the knee-deep BS. When a big thing like this comes along and prods them out of their daily routine of doing the jobs that Americans will do—paying the taxes that support this circus—all that comes like a bucket of cold water in the face. The outrage hits all at once and they go from zero to Freakin’ Pissed quite fast.
It’s actually a healthy response, when ya think about it.
The problem comes not from individual’s actions but from the attempt to characterize the whole crowd—and the entire argument—by the actions of one [or a few] individual.

can we please manage to find a POTUS who’s not nutz?!?
[ from In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect," by Ronald Kessler ]
“Inside the White House, Carter treated with contempt the little people who helped and protected him,” and told agents not to look at him or speak to him — even to say hello — when he went to the Oval Office, Kessler disclosed.
“For three and a half years, agent John Piasecky was on Carter’s detail — including seven months of driving him in the presidential limousine — and Carter never spoke to him…
[didn’t Hillary! have a similar policy?]...
Before going on a fishing trip in Georgia one morning, Carter accused a Secret Service agent of stealing fried chicken stewards had prepared. In fact, White House aides Jody Powell and Hamilton Jordan had eaten the chicken.
...
At his home in Plains, Ga., Carter once tried to attack and kill a small dog with a bow saw. Agents had befriended the stray dog, a terrier, and given it the code name Dolphin.
When the dog ate some food Carter’s wife, Rosalynn, had put out for their Siamese cat, Carter “got the bow saw off a woodpile near the family room patio” and “tried to kill the dog,”
think this’ll get picked up by the MSMSLSD?
Weak
painfully, wedgie-inducingly, desperation-stinkingly weak
From the Annenberg-backed “factcheck.org” on the unhinged Pelosi quote about the Townhall “Health
CareInsurance” protesters.Pelosi: “I think they are Astroturf. You be the judge … carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.”
...Pelosi turns out to be right.
...Speaker Pelosi was correct. This sign ...[no pic] does in fact show the swastika. To be clear, the Swastika has a strike running through it as if to say, No Nazis.
...now we’re finding out there may be a pattern here. Consider this: ...A photo of the president defaced by a Hitler mustache. .... to the left of that sign and you see the symbol of the murderous Nazi SS on a sign that says something to the effect Stop Socialism. ... – we can see – the man who’s holding it up – you discover he’s holding a little girl on his shoulders as he’s holding that sign.
Yeah. ‘nuff sed.
Hmm...
something uh… tells me uh… it’s not uh… working, erm… David
Teh Pin∅cchi∅ was at it again yesterday in New Hampshire…
I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter because, frankly, we historically have had a employer-based system in this country with private insurers, and for us to transition to a system like that I believe would be too disruptive.“Because ... it would be too disruptive” Not because it removes Liberty and choice. Not because the gubbmint can’t find the floor with its hat. So it wasn’t so much a lie as just very, veeery carefully “parsed.”
"We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors."oooo.... sorry.
Tom Nelson, AARP’s chief operating officer, said, “Indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."And another one…
"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America...."Wait… That wasn’t a lie.
Still… I think, considering the signs, the sales pitch is faltering. And look closely—no Union Bug!
