Frances Fox Piven On The Tea Party: Its All About Sex
Listen to Frances Fox-Piven talk about the rich, white Tea Party people. After the usual BS about how Tea Partiers don’t like having a black man in the White House, she explains that she’s absolutely sure the Tea Party is all about sex. She admits she doesn’t have any data to back up her allegations. Something about “backward looking people,” you know, because only rich, white, backward looking people have sex. By the way, Piven is an honorary chairperson of the D...

Frances Fox Piven Tea Party all white and all about sex
Frances Fox Piven - Tea Party all white and all about sex But she doesn’t have any data on this. Yet, she claims the tea party is not only all white (the usual Race Card), but all about sex. Ironic, coming from a dried up old hippy hag like Frances Fox Piven who probably couldn’t keep her legs crossed about a century ago. ...

Half of the Comedy Team Cloward/Piven Speaks
I was told there would be sex ? Frances Fox Piven delivers the same Speech that the rest of the thousand-headed Ignoramus has delivered a thousand times before - “The Tea Party are scared Racists who can’t handle a black man in the White House.” Yawn. I couldn’t handle Jimmy Carter in the White House. Does that make me a Peanutist?  I didn’t enjoy Bill Clinton’s tenure. Does that make me a Penist? No. It makes me a conservative,  you know, the opposite of ...

Why won't anyone sign Glenn Beck's self-serving violence pledge?
Glenn Beck's entire show yesterday was about how people are "afraid" to sign the harmless little "pledge against violence" he introduced earlier this week. I can't imagine why anyone would reject or ignore a weird document from an irresponsible Bircher clown, can you? You can watch Beck's show here and here (until Fox removes the clips from YouTube, anyway) and if you only know Beck through liberal blog posts or short Media Matters clips, I encourage you to try an entire Beck show, to get a sens...

Glenn Beck Opens Up About Violence: I Have 15 Operating Threats On Me At Any Given Time
Glenn Beck has been particularly vocal calling for political figures to renounce violence from all political ideologies while defending the right of said figures to use heated Rhetoric. The process has made him a bit of a target, something Bill O’Reilly touched on earlier this week, but last night on the O’Reilly Factor he gave us a better idea of just how much of a target he has become, sustaining 15 threats to his person at any given time. Beck visited O’Reilly for his weekl...

Bill Maher lashes out at Teabaggers identification with Founding Fathers
Stumble This! Comedian Bill Maher took issue with the Tea Party's identification with America's "Founding Fathers' at the end of the season premiere of his cable show Friday night. “I think it's pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would have hated your guts, and what’s more, you would have hated them," he said, seemingly speaking directly to the followers of the right-wing Astroturf group. He continued, "They were everything you despise. They studied science, read Plato, Hung out...

Claiming The Founders
Claiming The Founders by digby Bill Maher had a fun riff last night on the Tea partiers and the Founding Fathers: That's pretty funny. But the reactions from the right wingers is even funnier. This one's from Hot Air: I hate to break it to you, Bill, but the majority of the Founding Fathers were religious. And those who weren’t orthodox in their beliefs, at least had a healthy respect and appreciation for religion. They didn’t want to force others to believe as they did - certainly R

Jared Loughner's "Genocide School" video (Pima Community College)
Pima Community College has released the video from Jared Loughner that resulted in his explusion from that school (article here, embedded below). In it he walks around that College at night and narrates why it's his "Genocide school" and how their actions will result in him becoming Homeless. He seems particularly agitated about having received a "B" grade in a sociology class. As I've stated many times, about the only political inclination that can be derived is that of a deranged Extremist l...

Changing of The Guard at RNC
Celebrity Endorsements: Money for Nothing? The new elected Republican National Committee (RNC) Reince Priebus holds up a gavel after winning the post during the Republican National Committee Winter Meeting. A new sheriff is in town for the Republican Party. Ousted chairman Michael Steele has been replaced by Reince Priebus, the former RNC chair for the state of Wisconsin known most for claiming the RNC is “part of” the Tea Party movement. —JCL For Reince Priebus, the new chair...

Welcome Freshman Congressmen
To start things off, I ask that the freshmen members, those new to Washington, sort themselves into several different groups, according to your political reputations, up- to this point. Over here on the right, please gather all of ye who have become known as Aggressors and Dominators. Next to them, on the left, please, lets have all the Defeatist & Clowns congregate. Come on now, ... you know who you are ..... Then to their left, please gather all the Rock-Stars and the Ax-Grinders. And ou...

Both Parties Seek Political Profit From Arizona Shooting
WASHINGTON — Democrats, Republicans and independent groups across the ideological spectrum are seeking political profit from the shooting rampage in Arizona, often moderating their Rhetoric in pursuit of their goals. Often, but not always. Two days after the Jan. 8 attack, the conservative Tea Party Express issued a Fundraising appeal that said the accused gunman's actions in the months leading to the shooting were "more consistent with Blame America First Liberals, not the tea party mov...

The ship is anchord safe and sound, its voyage closed and done
The TN Report is the last to blink and gets up the exit interview with the (as-of-right-this-second-still) Governor Bredesen. He hits all the classics: Waffle Houses and Wal-Marts, Health Care, a “no comment” on Silicon Ranch, and he talks states’ rights: Now what we’re going to do is compel behavior by taxing the absence of it. That seems to be a whole new notion of what the powers of the Federal Government involved are and it certainly makes me uncomfortable. The problem is...

Hall Of Shame: Liberals Who Used Tragedy To Smear The Right
CHRYSTIA FREELAND, Reuters: I’m from Alberta. I’m from Alberta. Calgary has a Muslim mayor. My Dad does have guns, but we have universal healthcare. And Canada is heaven for the Elizabeth Warrens of the world because it has banking regulations. That’s the difference. It didn’t have a Financial Crisis. And the government didn’t have to bail out the banks. So the middle-class is okay. Bill Maher: Because we don’t have government healthcare, that’s one r...

NH Republican Establishment Working Against Tea Party Candidate?
And so it begins. Now that the 2010 midterms are done and the Tea Party has shown itself to be a real political force, the GOP establishment is making plans to undermine Tea Party power and reassert its OWN RINO, country club control of the party. It’s happening in New Hampshire, anyway, as it seems as if outgoing NH Republican Party Chairman John Sununu is engaging in a whisper campaign against Tea Party backed Jack Kimball who is vying to become the next GOP chairman for the Granite Stat...

Steele Out, Priebus In At RNC
Wisconsin GOP Chairman Reince Priebus has won election as chairman of the Republican National Committee in a drawn-out balloting process Friday, ousting Incumbent Chairman Michael Steele after what can best be described as a rocky two-year tenure. Steele dropped out of the fourth round of voting after seeing his support steadily decline through the process, reports The Hill. His two years as RNC Chair kicked off with an awkward start on degenerate dirtbag Curtis Sliwa’s Talk Radio show, wh...

Caldwell's Unfairness
It's important to push back against untruths as much as against Incivility. And so when Christopher Caldwell writes the following in the Financial Times, I have to to ask him for actual evidence: Many prominent people disheartened by the resurgence of the Republican party - notably the blogger Andrew Sullivan, the New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, and the Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik - linked the shootings to Republican ideology or Rhetoric, as expressed by former vice pres...

The Many Storied Story of "The Narrative" and What the Loss of It Costs Us
Do I even need to mention "the narrative" in relation to the media's competing narratives about what narratives might have contributed to the ongoing narrative mindset of violent Extremists, such as Jared Lee Loughner, who has remained silent on the subject? Or how the Internet creates and distributes narratives, or how blogs--such as this one--go on and on about narratives, or how novels, poems, plays, and performances all contribute their own narratives about the world, to the world? In addi...

The Tea Party: a creedal passion past its prime | Michael Weiss
At its worst, the American Tea Party is a helter-skelter of conservative Populism, a movement broadly united by small-government principles but more animated by a hatred of the current president. It lacks a coherent vision and prefers paranoid sloganeering and anti-establishment platitudes to a viable platform. At its most benign, the Tea Party represents what the late historian Samuel Huntington, in an insight more valuable than his more famous one about a "clash of civilizations," once termed ...

Fidel Castro on the Fascist Tea Party and Obama
The Oracle of Havana has spoken again.  In a signed editorial in the state-owned Granma, Castro play pundit,  analyzing President Obama’s Speech in Arizona. The Butcher of Havana has high praise for Obama, who he calls “an exceptional figure leading the government of the United States.”  But he also picks up on Obama’s dependence on the Teleprompter, nothing that the President is “highly dependent on the written pages” in front of him when he sp...

NYT columnist blasts Left for witch hunt after Tucson shooting
It’s not Ross Douthat or David Brooks, either, but Charles Blow — the same writer who once called black Tea Party Activists a “political Minstrel Show.”  Blow admits that the temptation to lay the blame for the shootings in Tucson on the Right was strong, but that in doing so, and in insisting on sticking with the attacks after all the evidence showed that the shooter was an apolitical lunatic, the Left have adopted an “any means necessary” approach that wi...

Dave Bitner Elected New RPOF Chairman
Looking forward to 2012, and unconcerned about promoting a "Tallahassee insider," Republicans elected David Bitner chairman of the state party on Saturday. Bitner edged Cox-Roush in a runoff after none of the five Candidates attained a majority in the first round of voting. Bitner led the initial tally with 109, followed by Cox-Roush, who garnered 58. Bitner prevailed in the runoff as supporters of the second-tier Candidates shifted to the Jefferson County state committeeman and former state leg...

Madison lawmakers threatened in unidentified Craigslist post
Several Madison and Wisconsin lawmakers were threatened in an unidentified post on craigslist this week during a time which awareness of such threats is at a heightened state and lawmakers and their aides are being more vigilant and attentive to such Rhetoric.  The threats come only a handful of days after U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was critically wounded and six others were killed by suspected gunman Jared Loughner, 22, outside of a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona during a political...

Tucson Aftermath, Part 2: Words have consequences
Before the shooting last Saturday in Tucson, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords had been one of a number of Democrats who had received threats in the recent year. During the contentious debates over Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade Legislation that saw angry, confrontational Protests in town hall meetings and surrounding the offices of House and Senate members, many Democrats had been the target of threatening letters, Internet, and phone messages. As a crowd of Health Care reform protestors d...
