Uh oh. It looks like the Con convention has ended on a nightmare note for Stephen Harper. I warned him not inflame his Con base, and above all not to WATER them But he didn't listen. He whipped them into a foaming frenzy with his ghastly keynote speech. And now the wingnuts are running WILD !!!!
Wow. What an amazing night. It's hours after it ended and I still can't believe it. How Obama knocked Mitt Romney off his White Horse, and sent him back to Bain Capital riding backwards on a burro. For as even David Frum admitted "This isn't a reaffirmation of the status quo. This is a Republican thumping."
Show how much you hate General Mills for supporting gay marriage.
"We do not believe the proposed constitutional amendment is in the best interests of our employees or our state economy," the company's vice president for global diversity and inclusion, Ken Charles, is quoted by the publication as saying. "We value diversity. We value inclusion."
By turning up outside company headquarters, with a box of cheerios in one hand, and a blowtorch in the other.
Well I suppose it was too real to be tolerated. A poster of the Virgin Mary receiving a pregnancy test.
So a religious fanatic attacked it with a pair of scissors.
"This is Satanic, this is the ultimate Satanic attack, when Lucifer attacks his worst enemy, the Blessed Virgin.
"This particular church - so called - is run by a gay, feminist-type lobby. They claim to be Christian and yet they put up a blasphemous image of the Blessed Virgin, attacking her virginity and the fact that she was the mother of Christ, the God-Man."
Even though the poster's message was gentle and human.
It was an image that shocked the world. An image that should shock everybody. Right?
But not Bill O'Reilly and the Fox News bimbo Megyn Kelly, who shrugged it off as just a "food product."
"I agree [the tape] looks bad," Kelly says. It's just that the protesters were sitting in a place where they weren't allowed to sit, so it's kind of their own fault! And in any event what right do we have to judge a cop for spraying a simple food product on the faces of a bunch of liberal college kids doing something criminal? You know? Maybe he was just trying to feed them?
OMG. Shake me like a rattle. Or call me a prophet eh? Because as soon as I saw this.
I knew that the Christianist crazies would soon be howling at the moon, and proclaiming it to be a sign of God's wrath for the sins of America. i.e. the satanic sodomites, and the black guy in the White House.
And sure enough...
And of course, since holy money is tight these days, the old con man Pat Robertson had to get out there and make sure he got a piece of the action...
Because old Patty Cakes would never "get weird" on us would he? And when it comes to natural disasters, he knows what he's talking about.
A huge storm, Hurricane Gloria, threatened the Eastern Seaboard in 1985. Robertson took to the air on “The 700 Club” and prayed:
“In the name of Jesus, we command you to stop where you are and move northeast, away from harm.”
The storm moved, but it headed northeast and scored a direct hit on Long Island, causing millions of dollars in damage.
Lordy. All I can say is thank goodness the White House didn't come down eh?
Because we never would have heard the end of it.
Hey Patty Cakes. Shake it up baby. You ain't God's weatherman.
Oh dear. What a dilemma eh? I just created my very own Con Klown Hypocrisy Award. But now I can't seem to decide who is this week's winner. So please help me out .
Here are the candidates in no particular order:
(1) PHILLIP HINKLE, the 64-year-old Republican State Representative from Indiana, who is a well known Christianist anti-gay activist, and the man who got the state to offer an "In God We Trust" license plate.
The email exchange is in response to the Craigslist posting in which the young man -- who lists his age as 20 in the ad but says he is 18 years old -- says, "I need a sugga daddy."
The young man told The Star that they met, but that he tried to leave after the man told him he was a state lawmaker. He said the lawmaker at first told him he could not leave, grabbed him in the rear, exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet.
(2) BRIAN LILLEY, the Sun News columnist, who is always going on about separatists and radical lefties, but is apparently unaware of what's going on in his own organization.
Brian has every right in the world to denounce radical left-wing fringe elements, real or imagined, in Canadian society. However, he might have taken a look in his backyard before getting all frothy. Had he done so, he’d note that QMI, Sun’s own press agency, which provides much of the content to the Sun chain of papers, regularly publishes the bon mots of one Jacques Lanctôt.
(3) GIORGIO MAMMOLITI, Rob Ford's right hand mangopher goomba. Who when he isn't stalking lesbians, or smelling out communists on his Facebook page...or everywhere... is leading the charge to slash spending at City Hall.
Even though Mammy himself is rather partial to golf.
Toronto city hall has seen few more dedicated riders of the municipal gravy train than Mammoliti. In past years he was remarkably free with taxpayer-funded office expenses, once arguing that councillors who didn’t exhaust their expense budget, then $70,000, simply weren’t doing a good job. He even voted against ending councillors’ free golf privileges, resulting in a 22-22 tie which kept that outrageous perk alive.
Gawd. You see what I mean? What a difficult choice eh?
Oh well. I leave it up to you to decide who deserves all the manure they can bag.
And all I will say is Hinkle is in a pinkle. Lilley is so shilly.
And of course, Mammy is Mammy...
Oh Mammy, Mammy, I need a sugga daddy, or a golf club.
It was never going to be a meeting of the minds eh? A former Marxist guerrilla who hates torture, and a right-wing extremist who covers up torture. And can't feel the pain of others.
What the article claims is that on Monday, while attending official functions with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Prime Minister Stephen Harper locked himself in the private bathroom of the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Minister while officials argued over protocol.
Gawd. How humiliating. What is it about Stephen Harper, foreign trips and toilet bowls? Does he take laxatives when he travels, instead of the usual tranquilizers?
What's he got against Dilma? And what's he going to do for an encore? Take the crass homophobe Giorgio Mammoliti with him to sniff out the commies?
Because honestly, with Cons like Harpy and Mammy, in this wired age, they're laughing at us all over the world. Which is bad eh?
On the other hand.... Simon do you think we can now call Harper President Presidente Crapper?
As Norway mourns its dead. And sorrow turns to anger.
The right-wing monsters of this world continue to try to turn tragedy into triumph, by blaming Muslims for the massacre.
Or condemning the killer for damaging their bigot cause.
During the hours when I thought that Oslo had been attacked by jihadists, I wept for the city that has been my home for many years. And I hoped Norwegian leaders would respond to this act of violence by taking a more responsible approach to the problems they face in connection with Islam. When it emerged that these acts of terror were the work of a native Norwegian who thought he was striking a blow against jihadism and its enablers, it was immediately clear to me that his violence will deal a heavy blow to an urgent cause.
Great eh? From the man who did more than most to inspire the monster's bloody rampage. Never mind the dead kids, it's all about THEM.
Who after tying himself up in knots concludes...surprise...surprise... that the Mooslims made him do it:
Breivik’s rampage would likely never have taken place if Islamic terrorism wasn’t so ubiquitous. If we didn’t need to breathe that sigh of relief that al-Qaeda didn’t attack Norway, the attack probably wouldn’t have happened at all, since dangerous fanatics in Central Asia wouldn’t have inspired a dangerous fanatic in Norway.
Only to have that steaming turd attract some ghastly flies.
Like this one:
And this one:
The bigot bastards. Now can we call them ROACHES?
Oh well. At least the light of the world is shining on their Roach Motel.
The man accused of the killing spree in Norway was deeply influenced by a small group of American bloggers and writers who have warned for years about the threat from Islam, lacing his 1,500-page manifesto with quotations from them, as well as copying multiple passages from the tract of the Unabomber.
And they can run but they can't hide:
Mr. Spencer wrote on his Web site, jihadwatch.org, that “the blame game” had begun, “as if killing a lot of children aids the defense against the global jihad and Islamic supremacism, or has anything remotely to do with anything we have ever advocated.” He did not mention Mr. Breivik’s voluminous quotations from his writings.
The Gates of Vienna, a blog that ordinarily keeps up a drumbeat of anti-Islamist news and commentary, closed its pages to comments Sunday “due to the unusual situation in which it has recently found itself.”
Yup. Poor decent little Norway will survive. Which more than I can say for the bigots.
Although I don't want to be too harsh on the blazing furry fanatic, because HOURS before we knew that the killer was a Christianist right-wing scumbag.
He kinda....um... hit the nail on the head...
So if Shittle rolls her turds into some rancid pastry, and bakes it between her buttocks or her armpits, they can STILL share some humble pie.
Which is more than we can say about Coren eh?
Because he can't tell a sewer from the trickle between his ears legs. So he's still banging that nail. Into his own head.
Fear not, we are winning.
Golly. Has the Gollum lost his ring.... or his marbles?
Gawd. I KNEW this was going to happen. That old homophobe is going to Sun TV and he is determined to show Ezra Levant who is the top guy, the biggest asshole.
And the sleaziest Gollum...
Oh well. If they clutch and grab at themselves in loin cloths, and Levant becomes Coren's bitch, or vice versa, I suppose it could be funny. In a gross sort of way.
Although what's not funny is how after the MSM realized that it wasn't the work of Islamic terrorists, the killer morphed from a right-wing terrorist, into just another madman.
Anyone who claims therefore, that the perpetrator's "right-wing traits" and "anti-Muslim views", or even links with "Christian fundamentalist" websites are irrelevant is trying to draw a veil over the unacceptable truths of such "traits" and expecting us to believe that right-wing ideology is incapable of prompting someone towards such criminality.
Of course, that idea is nonsensical.
But that's Right Wing Derangement Syndrome eh?
Those ghastly right-wingers don't realize how ugly they are.
And they don't know when they're BEATEN.
Simon...Simon....you're not going to use this horrible tragedy against them are you?
For most of his miserable life he had as much relevance to the terrorist movement as Colonel Sanders had to Kentucky Fried Chicken in his declining years.
Al Qaeda is a franchise and he was just its figurehead. Ayman Al-Zawahiri was and is its real leader. And the 911 attack was planned in a mosque in Hamburg, Germany. Not in his air-conditioned tent in Afghanistan.
He was always a coward. The spoiled son of a rich Saudi family, who lived in a mansion protected by the Pakistani military, and nibbled on grapes, while his minions sent poor barefooted boys to their deaths as suicide bombers.
But as the CBC's Neil MacDonald points out the devil likely died happy.
When bin Laden directed those airplanes at civilians ten years ago, he stole a lot more from this nation than the lives of 3,000 of her citizens.
He taught this country the consequences of operating an open, free society. Literally, he showed Americans the price of their liberty, how many of their principles they'd be willing to cast aside, and how quickly they would do it.
Beginning the day after the attacks, the United States became a meaner, more paranoid, more impoverished place.
Americans surrendered to ever more intrusive searches and probes at airports, carried out largely to create the illusion they were being protected.
The cleavage between right and left, red and blue, urban and rural, became deeper than at any time in modern history.
But it was the loss of America’s liberties, the sacrifice of individual freedom, and the breakdown of its rule of law that was bin Laden’s greatest triumph.
Because the greatest damage to America was done by the Americans themselves. And their fear and loathing and paranoia drove us ALL insane.
The best story I ever read about bin Laden was written by the grand old BBC reporter John Simpson, who bumped into him in a mujahideen camp during the Afghan war against the Soviets.
When bin Laden saw him, he tried to get the fighters to kill the "infidel." And offered them large sums of money if they did. But they refused because it was against their Afghan hospitality code.
So bin Laden went to his tent, stretched out face down on his cot, and wept and wailed and pounded his pillow in frustration.
Yup. He was always a coward and a poseur. He inspired the deaths of thousands of innocent people, while remaining at a safe distance. Two bullets in the head was really too kind. I wish they could have taken him alive, so his myth could have been exploded.
Oh well. The good news? He's gone to feed the fishes, so we don't have to watch his boring videos, or listen to his empty threats. And now we know for SURE that Pakistan IS the terrorist conspiracy. As if any reasonable person, who can spell Pakistan AND find it on a map, hasn't known that for YEARS.
And the best news? The deranged American birthers and teabaggers are the ones sobbing and pounding their pillows today. After the black "Muslim" President accomplished what their hero George Bush and his war criminals failed to do.
Remember to curse the devil's name eh? The next time they ask you to take off your shoes. Or read your e-mails.
Poetic justice indeed.
Raise your right elbow to the Great War on Terror. Or else.
God damn them all.
UPDATE:
I just had a horrible thought. What if we held an election and nobody came? Because they were all watching the bin Laden story.
OMG.Turn off your TVs eh? And go VOTE.
In the grand scheme of things, he just wasn't that important...
Glory Glory Hallelujah. I see that Sarah Palin is being pounded in the polls.
The latest CNN poll shows that 56 percent of Americans view her unfavorably.
More damaging, though, is this: Sarah Palin's unfavorable rating among women has gone up 10 points. And 59 percent of those all-important independent voters don't like her -- and that's up a stunning 14 points in just a few months.
Like those those halibut she hammered, in her bloodthirsty reality TV series.
Now even the crass cretin Newt Gingrich wants her to think before she opens her piehole. And David Frum wants to render her speechless.
Former Bush speechwriter David Frum went further. "She should stop talking now, really," he said.
Sort of like this I guess...
But fear not eh?
She may be gasping like a beached whale. They may have cancelled her reality TV show because she ran out of animals to kill. And she was so BORING.
But Glory Glory Hallelujah. Her shrinking base still loves her.
And her soul hole keeps marching on...
Sarah, Sarah, on a clear day you can see Russia. Or the road to OBLIVION.
She came. She almost conquered. She overstayed her welcome.
Holy Halloween Batman !!!! I see there's a new superhero in Gotham. He's as flamboyant as Liberace...with a large red thong and a matching cross. And his name is Captain Salvation!!!
"Victory!! In Jesus' name!" Captain Salvation says (in a dialogue balloon) as he vanquishes a giant robot in league with the devilish forces of the underground.
The muscular captain even has a masked sidekick: Joshua quotes the Bible and, in a takeoff on David's defeat of Goliath, loads his slingshot with magic yams.
Relax Robin. That caped Crusader will NEVER steal you away from me. I mean what's that around his waist? A holy voodoo belt or a Jebeesus in a tortilla? But go tell the Joker he's got some REAL competition.
And while you're at it, go tell his followers that if they want to lure the innocent into their empty churches.
They'd be better off praising the Lord.
And passing the doritos....
Golly Batman.... I hear that dastardly villain Herr Homophobe is REALLY upset.
How do you know when it's early November? Answer: when the wingnuts and the Foxtards in the United States start wailing about the War on Christmas, And this year go a step further, by releasing this Christian movie...
I mean Christianist video, DVD, humming piece of plastic.
"This is a feel-good movie, with a lot of conflict and the theme of the Grinch finally coming home," said Anchorage-based executive producer David Cuddy. "The final scene is like 'It's a Wonderful Life,' where his character melts and becomes a good guy."
Gawd. Isn't that blasphemy?
The Grinch and It's A Wonderful Life? Or get down on your knees you atheist scum. Take the Muslim crescent off the Christ Tree. Or we'll burn your house down. SCARY
But wait. It gets worse.
How about a children's book about how Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Joseph Stalin stole Christmas ?
"The Christmastution is being ignored!" she yells to her assembled mob. "If we want to save Christmas, we must stop taking free candy and fire the liberal elves!"
Elf Peloosi tries to sway the children from voting her out of office with free candy canes but they all wave copies of the Christmastution at her and dump the candy into the Camas' lake.
Holy Satan Santa. How do you follow a mastatution like that one?
With the Dance of the Sugar Dumb fairies?
No. That would be too ugly. And too flattering.
How about something prettier, and gayer, and more festive?
The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976. As Timothy Noah of Slate noted in an excellent series on inequality, the United States now arguably has a more unequal distribution of wealth than traditional banana republics like Nicaragua, Venezuela and Guyana.
For the first time in American history, then, social mobility has been replaced with class struggle. Europeans have always been mystified that poor people in this country don't rise up and throw potatoes at Donald Trump – instead, they make him a reality TV star. But that's because everyone here us sure they are going to be rich like him someday, too. Maybe tomorrow.
Which like Elvis, has left the building.
If the news outlets were actually reporting, they would tell us the honest and awful truth: the United States is a post-industrial empire in decline, like England or Belgium or worse (is there worse?). There is no next. We are at next.
These uninformed lost souls vehemently shout for "small government" and "less government handouts," but ask them if they'd like to lose their Social Security and Medicare and they smile and say, "Oh no, that stuff I like!" They don't know what the hell they want, yet that hasn't stopped them from being really, really angry anyway.
They're still looking for it.
In the 1950s...
So they're bound to be disappointed.
And the day they realize that they've been manipulated by the REAL elites.
Will be the day the second American revolution starts.
When I heard that Stephen Harper was claiming Canada didn't get a seat on the U.N. Security Council, because he's a friend of Israel, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he has the bruises to prove Canada’s unwavering support for Israel in the face of growing anti-Israeli sentiment, an apparent reference to the country’s lost bid a seat on the UN Security Council.
Because the reason we lost that seat was the appalling record of his government on everything from global warming to human rights.
And Harper is no friend of Israel.
He is a friend of its hideous right-wing government that has used racist settlers to sabotage the peace process.
Used phosphorus bombs on children.
And calls any criticism of its brutish occupation policies antisemitism.
He's not a friend of the many decent Israelis who are fighting to save the peace process, and the soul of their country.
The majority here wants a state of Israel alongside a sovereign and separate state of Palestine. The majority is fed up. The majority sees the settlements as a bad bargain for Israel. The majority is tired of being pushed around. The majority loves Israel and wants it to continue to exist.
His friends are those who would strangle that peace process. The Netanyahoos in Israel, the religious fanatics, and the so-called Christian Zionists in his rabid Con base. Like the grotesque homophobe Charles McVety
Who is also National Chairman of Christians United for Israel (C.U.F.I)
In its call for a unilateral military attack on Iran and the expansion of Israeli territory, CUFI has found unwavering encouragement from traditional pro-Israel groups like AIPAC and elements of the Israeli government.
But CUFI has an ulterior agenda: its support for Israel derives from the belief of Hagee and his flock that Jesus will return to Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon and cleanse the earth of evil. In the end, all the non-believers - Jews, Muslims, Hindus, mainline Christians, etc. - must convert or suffer the torture of eternal damnation.
Which also explains why Harper believes that antisemitism in Canada is a bigger problem than homophobia. Even though it isn't.
The agency says all three major categories of hate crime increased in 2008, but the largest increase was among crimes motivated by sexual orientation, which more than doubled from 2007 to 2008.
Hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation were also the most violent: 75 per cent were violent compared with 38 per cent of racially-motivated incidents and 25 per cent of religiously motivated incidents.
And why our great human rights champion has done NOTHING to fight it.
Oh boy. I hate antisemitism as much as I hate homophobia. I share a sacred bond with the Jewish people.
I'm a friend of Israel, a friend of the Palestinians, a supporter of a Palestinian state. I want the two nations to live together in peace FOREVER. I want my country to help bring them together. Not drive them apart.
I want my country to be a bigot-free zone.
And I know a bastard, and a fraud, when I see one.
In Nova Scotia, a man is convicted of burning a cross, with a noose dangling from it, on the lawn of a black and white couple.
And some seek to excuse him.
“I’m not saying it should have been done because it shouldn’t have been, but everyone makes mistakes when they’re young,” he said about Justin Rehberg. “I’ve done foolish things that I’m not crazy about, but that’s life.”
In Ontario a man in a KKK costume leads a man in blackface around with a rope around his neck. In a Legion hall. And at Free Dominion via Dr Dawg...
You would never hear a "Klan" member enable/defend baby torturing/murdering, pedophilia, theft of private property, abuse of the system to steal houses from the infirm or money from defenceless teens.
You get the picture, lieberals are far worse than any "Klan" member could ever be. Course some idiots whine about a costume party but ignore the real important issues in life.
In Toronto, Royson James wonders about other KKK dress up parties, and reminds me of that old Billy Holiday song.
“Southern trees bear strange fruit/ blood on the leaves and blood at the root/ black bodies swinging in the southern breeze / strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.”
It will never go away. The horror. The revolting images of black men strung up on trees, roasted alive for sport on a Sunday afternoon in sunny Georgia or Alabama or...
Picture it. Men of the Ku Klux Klan draped in white sheets. The sacrificial lamb, caught like a goat, strung up with a noose, burned alive, photographed, the pictures sent north as postcards for relatives to catch a glimpse of life in the genteel South.
Thousands of Southerners would turn up for those lynching parties. Suspect a black man of a crime, and the KKK-led mob would lead the victim to a horrific fate.
Any representation of this, at Halloween or in any other ghoulish festival, is a new lynching.
And I tell you, it is not easy to bear.
I know how he feels. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
I don't just want to defeat them. I want to destroy them.
“Here is fruit for the crows to pluck / For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck/ For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop / Here is a strange and bitter crop.”
Oh look. Another good reason not to give Fox News North aka Harper TV a license. Ian Davey is an idiot, but we thank him for being the idiot that he is.
He just let the Liberal scat out of the bag.
Asked Sunday during CTV’s Question Period about Bob Rae’s potential support of federal bucks for a possible NHL arena in Quebec City, the lesser Davey sloughed off the question with this high-brow insult.
“It was once said about the Toronto Sun that it’s a newspaper for people who can’t read,” he said. “And I think that probably applies to the whole chain.”
So, there it is — straight from the horse’s ass.You, dear readers, are as dumb as posts.
Do I really need to elaborate? I mean who wrote dat ? Ezra Levant, a monkey, or a tea bagger? And when they finished were they standing on their desks, bathed in sweat, and foaming at the mouth. Or swinging from a chandelier ?
Now look Ian Davey got it wrong. The people who read The Sun can read. Duh. But because they are generally less educated, they can be easily manipulated. They might not be able to tell a real story from a bogus one.
And they might have more trouble than most telling the difference between reality and PMO talking points.
On the road this summer aboard the "Liberal Express", I witnessed several occasions where Sun reporters in the regions produced a piece of paper with a question for Michael Ignatieff. They would read this query, sometimes saying they'd been told to ask the question by their bosses. Funnily enough, the questions mirrored Conservative talking points that were also sent by email to reporters aboard the bus.
Which of course can be fatal for the health of a democracy.
So do we really need a Fox News North/Harper TV channel preying on less educated Canadians, playing demagogue games, turning them into tea baggers, and attacking private citizens like Ian Davey?
I don't think so.
Tell Kory Teneycke and his illiterate Sun gang to go write for Sarah Palin.
Tell the CRTC that if they don't dismiss their ridiculous licence application in less than ten minutes they better have a really good explanation.
Because if those Con monkeys suck bananas in print eh?
