The Thread #2 For 2/5/14: Their Latest Reading Problem

Image
As always, yesterday's CBO Obamacare job/budget report is the latest lack of critical reading comprehension skills of embarrassment proportions affecting conservatives and anyone who just wants to slam any Democratic thing in a heartbeat. Non-liberals, whether it was conservatives or the centrist liberal loathing Beltway media, lapped it up over writing quick headlines of "CBO projects Obamacare to cost 2 million jobs" and ran away deep into the night of the latest Sean Insanity Hannity comedy episode. They have done it before and will do it again, as they always do. Thankfully, there are more opportunities to clown them since they fail to read things all the way through. It's a real shame though, because in real life the nutcases and their base will believe another untrue thing and added to their straight jacket insane legacy. It's the times we live in, but maybe a simple tweet will have assisted in that.   CBO do not find the ACA would cost 2 mill...

The 1st Thread For 9/23/10: The Early Deliveries

Image
CNN's honorable trainwreck of an analyst Erick Erickson rips his party's new pledge , although it basically has the ideas he supports . Sees like this morning the "greatest dysfunctional morning show ever" really started to show signs of Stewart and Colbert getting to them: And: A lack of manufacturing is a threat to national security here in America . And in your lighter delivery today, it appears Sesame Street has done a parody of......."True Blood."

The Democracy Now & Early Morning Deliveries Thread For 9/1/10: The Hottest Summer Ever

Image
Here's what you missed on Democracy Now today that you can easily see now: They were all over Iraq today as expected with Nir Rosen's perspective and how the government still continues to shell out millions of dollars on Iraqi bases (and let's not even get to contemplating about the weapons we still will supply to them. And never mentioned in our public discourse about Iraq is how the years of US sanctions really hurt the country . Joy Gordon has been all over that "Invisible War" indeed. Now towards the other deliveries about Iraq: He like the rest of the Bushies will never have any shame: Never ever. The hottest summer ever here in NYC will continue today on September 1st. And somehow the climate change deniers will continue to claim victory over Al Gore. Still the greatest campaign ever . After John McCain's presidential campaign decided to withdraw from Michigan, his vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin dissented. Once the Secret Service...

Giving The Insensitive Nutcase Another "W"

No remorse , and not a care in the world: And this: And he still freely claims that Sherrod is "the racist: But sadly, the insane thing he says about the black farmers sentiment brings me back to the worst bill of 2010 : Well, the "fradulent" settlement never went down, because it was stripped out of the final supplemental bill that passed last night in the House. So Breitbart's motivation to not only make the NAACP, but the added bonus of making sure a long overdue settlement for black farmers was derailed heighten his desire to ruin lives again like the heartless psycho that he is. That is what painfully happens when you give a platform to the mentally bizarre and unstable.

The Straight Jacket Award For 7/22/10: The Delusional Mind's Ability To Give Fake Apologizes

Image
Between this.... ...... And this: You further realize how utter rattled they are with how the Spooner family basically ended ANY discussion with their serious defamation of labeling Ms. Sherrod a racist. But they aren't rattled enough to deliver full apologizes from the heart. Currently, Freightfart is nowhere to be found on TV, and nowhere to be found on Twitter as of this post despite his usually avid activity on that social protocol. Meanwhile, just seconds after his apology, O'Liely went back to showing no real contrition, creating the usual right wing nutty false equivalency, blaming Media Matters for "taking his words out of context" like with Sherrod (even though Media Matters has never done that at all.) He proceeded to then have prostitute lover Dick Morris join him in continuing to slam her character: What a bunch of standout straight jacket candidates, huh? I sure hope she does file a lawsuit on Freightfart: I sure hope she does. Beca...

They Messed With The Wrong One

Image
She isn't going anywhere, and she is calling out the real idiots here : Shirley Sherrod, the former Agriculture Department Georgia Director of Rural Development, says she is a victim. A victim of poor reporting and, as she contends, clear bias and racist coverage from both Andrew Breitbart and Fox News. "When you look at their reporting, this is just another way of seeing that they are (racist)," Sherrod told me about Fox in a lengthy interview Tuesday night. "But I have seen that before now. I saw their reporting as biased during the Bush Administration and the Clinton Administration." The Murdoch Comedy Network doesn't know what to do, playing keep away and just looking at the White House at this. It will be interesting how further low O'Liely will go after he has done nothing but slam Sherrod repeatedly from the moment he laid eyes on the story: Oh, and in one of the lies of 2010 (and of all time), look at Mr. Straight Jacket himself, offerin...

He did it for revenge, and didn't even know why the crowd was laughing: He said right there that he did it for revenge. Freightfart is indeed the most unhinged man in America. And a candidate for Straight Jacket Award of the year.

The Straight Jacket Award For 6/14/10: Black In America, By Steve King

Image
Oh dear : Oh dear : King: When you look at this administration, I'm offended by Eric Holder and the President also, their posture. It looks like Eric Holder said that white people in America are cowards when it comes to race. And I don't know what the basis of that is but I'm not a coward when it comes to that and I'm happy to talk about these things and I think we should. But the President has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race — on the side that favors the black person. Not only does he always deserve another...... .....Straight Jacket Award of the day. He needs to be laughed at more and more for the racist trash and idiot that he is.

It Was Only A Matter Of Time

I was thinking when would he start going after Obama's daughters, and now that great classy day has come : You would probably forget from his insanity like no other here that he has a daughter himself. How at the behest of that child, I feel the need to say that I feel sorry for her that her daddy is the definition of a psychopath in the dictionary. I wonder how he will go after the dog Bo in the future? He'll probably bark all over his show like he barked earlier in the year. All for decline ratings I say!

Another Hell Hole Moment For Journalism In America

Brought to you by the New York Times . Mr. Black : Either the NYT just ran with oppo research they were fed without bothering to check, or they did their own snipitty snip snipping . Given recent history, I imagine they'll address the issue in 10 years or so. We'll be lucky for it to be even a decade if they do so. A lot of people, from myself and especially the likes of Tweety bird, the usually terrific Bill Press, Ron "Cheney Uncle Tom Laptog" Christie and a hell of a lot of others deserve to give a major apologize to Blumenthal. But that should all start with the Judy Miller rag. But I think their arrogance from the ACORN era will prevent them from doing so for another while. Journalism rolls in its grave yet again for another day in America.

Yesterday's Leftovers For 5/5/10: Why Is Michael Brown Even On TV?

Now normally, I want to be a little complex and snarky with the titles, but this is just a question that needed no sign of facetiousness. How is this prominent notorious figure of how disastrous and dangerous the previous Administration was to this country somehow able to resurface on TV out of nowhere like he's just a regular conservative nutcase expert. I mean, I thought there was universal consensus on who failed and who should never show their faces on TV with regards to Katrina? I thought at least on that very topic that all of us, from our incompetent media to even the nuts on the right, would agree that the "Heckuva Job" one was forever given an unofficially anodyne to showing his face on television again. Of course the protagonist in this sudden reimage of a disgraceful figure is the Murdoch Comedy Network , never ever a shame to give a first platform to the nutcases they worship. No surprise there at all. But why would the Tweety one, even in all of his ...

Because There Is Always Something Worse Out There

Now we all know how dreadful Mo(u)rning Jo(k)e can be, outside of a few amazing and terrific guests. But one thing about the show's protagonist that I have to give him credit for is the fact that he will call out nutty racism or nutty actions of his own side from time to time. In this pathetic day and age, yes, that is an accomplishment for any conservative : That one moment, and this next one, will remind us that there will always be a morning show even worse and more insane than that of Morning Joe or any other network for that matter. Especially when it's a show where one of his bobbleheads find even a single thing wrong with "The Lou Dobbs Bill." "Nothing's wrong, why is this a big deal" she says. With an unhinged consistent perspective like that, I guess that means Mika Meekness is the muckraking journalist of our times .

Looks Like No One Dared To Even Care

Shame....maybe they should have kept the fake interviews : Well, the ratings are in and as Mediaite's Steve Krakauer notes they were "unspectacular": Sarah Palin's Fox News Special Garners Unspectacular Ratings Sarah Palin's much-hyped LL Cool J-less Fox News special last night didn't bring in the huge ratings some (ok, we) predicted. Greta Van Susteren's On The Record which normally airs at 10pm ET beat the program the previous three nights in the A25-54 demographic and two out of three nights in total viewers. The show also lost viewers from the first quarter hour to the final quarter hour by double digits. It did do 28% better in total viewers than the last FNC original special (November 2009). When something goes wrong for Fixed Propaganda in ratings, than that says something about how disgusted at the thought of people even seeing that lady.

Yesterday's Leftovers For 3/21/10: Well That Took Forever.....And It Wasn't Even That Good.

Image
Today, despite being vindicated time and time again over the last few months, ACORN continues to spiral towards bankruptcy. The New York Times spilled the details of how a conference call led by the organization's CEO Bertha Lewis will talk about filing for Chapter 7 (unless it has already happened already). And barring a miraculous influx of ostentation coming in, the nutty Right will have officially scored a win at the expense of the poor of the nation (if they haven't already with how publicly ridiculed the organization has received). But the most revealing thing about that report today was not the fact of ACORN's impending bankruptcy. Rather, it was the fact that it came from the New York Times. Why is that a salient characteristic? Because this is the same newspaper that won't admit publicly that it facilitated in ACORN becoming poor in the midst of fighting for......the really poor. As Media Matters has documented as astutely as they always do, the New Yo...

Yesterday Leftovers For 3/19/10: Who Knew The Word "Respectful" Changed Its Definition

In the minds of anyone rational, Bret Baier is a hypocrite, hack, liar, and a perfect example of the Clown Network's "down the middle" anchors/reporters : And it makes me chuckle further when he calls what he does "respectful" The audacity of arrogant stupid people with crazy agendas. I can never get enough of it.
