Nonsense

Oh, I thought you WROTE it. No, wait. That was Bill Ayers who wrote his thesis.

Or was it Chairman Mao?

And did you see it in the original Kiswahili?

You ought to be chuffed. There are envious blokes in the rightosphere.

Joe – You do realize that by denying that you have seen it, you have confirmed to the wingnuts that you have seen it? That’s the logic they practice

In your last post you just got done telling us:

“If the problem is broader–that Fox News spreads seditious lies …The best antidote to their garbage is elegant, intelligent governance

Using the same standard wouldn’t your best antidote to this rumor is elegant intelligent journalism?

-MBirchmeier

Clearly, Joe, the fact that this rumor exists proves that TIME magazine should, in your words, “be a bit more diligent about whom it hires”.

Ha! Nicely done!

So, can someone fill me in on this so-called “meltdown” that I missed?

I think I see what happened here: Rush Limbaugh was using a fake unsourced quote from a parody site to draw out everyone who just reused the Wikiquotes to bash him.

Go back to the post on Roland Burris. I was away Mon – Wed of this week, so it was one of those days.

I’ve read Obama’s thesis. In fact, I’m holding a copy right now. Anyone who wants me to email them a pdf copy should post here.

(Note: This is his thesis from kindergarten where he declares that, “One day, I want to be president!”)

Crazy Pete Hoekstra told me that you told him about the thesis. I have neither the time nor the legal background to decide if he is right.

Hmmm… The White House isn’t supposed to defend itself from the constant barrage of attacks from Fox “News” because it would give Fox ‘greater spasms of self-inflation’. But it’s OK for Joe to defend himself.

Joe, I sympathize with your problem. It sucks to be slandered and lied about. I just wish you’d be a bit more consistent.

…yesterday’s Lieberman czar post from JNS took a beating also.

I’m trying to work out why anyone cares whether you’ve seen it or not.

The bright side for the left is that the lap dog MSM will have something to write about instead of rising unemployment, porkulus having no impact, or any proof that the TARP actually helped.

Why bother with these when you can report on a thesis from a C+ student

Everything’s always about you, isn’t it, Joke Line?

freeinpa, you are incorrect. George Bush was a D+ student, not a C+ student.

” .. I have no idea where this report comes from–but I can assure you that it’s complete nonsense. ..”

If you hadn’t mentioned it, most of us wouldn’t have known about it.
Now what was that about spreading manure … and those who have the time and inclination to spread it?

Joe, have you asked for a retraction? Isn’t that what is usually done?

Bingo.

Indeed. His egotistic journalism has no rival. Never before has a reporter so frequently injected himself into his own stories or involved himself in endeavors that become the focus of other stories. Incredible.

“freeinpa, you are incorrect. George Bush was a D+ student, not a C+ student”

If you recall it was shown that Bush at Yale had a higher GPA that another pompous liberal Kerry.

Sadly, the liberal pretense of superior intellect takes another hit

Like basket weaving and cheerleading is hard tp pass.

“Update: Michael Ledeen now has apologized to me…”
.
I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear that.
.
Because maybe you will STFU for a little while.

Joe, at 12:49 today you advised the Obama administration to practice stoicism in regards to the lies that the Right Wing is pushing.
.
“If the problem is broader–that Fox News spreads seditious lies to its demographic sliver of an audience–the Administration should probably be stoic: the wingnuts will always be with us.”
.
90 minutes later you rushed to this blog to decry the lies being pushed about you. By responding to the lies aren’t you just inflating Rush? Wouldn’t stoicism have been a better response?

Are you saying that Bush was not a cheerleader at Yale? Are you saying that while Kerry was earning Purple Hearts in Viet Nam that Bush wasn’t skipping out on his National Guard obligations?
.
We can say ass. They don’t care.

sacredh

One the crap about Bush and the National Guard was another farce as Dan Blather has found out and second Kerry’s purple Hearts were still a question of acquisition. There is still the matter of him promising to release his records but let’s see its how many years after that election and we are still waiting. Maybe it lost with Obama’s birth certificate?

Hannity is a thug I don;t think so. Why not attack him for his ideas instead of the name calling What shld bother Klein is the fact that the Presdt and his administration single out a network for attack. Seems like an attempt at intimidation to me. Reminiscent of when the Nixon administration went after the Washington Post and NY Times. And I would think that the more the administration attacks Fox the more it will help their ratings.

Well Joe, you say it’s complete nonsense, but since your whole career is a lie, how are we to believe you? Actually we don’t care. Hasn’t been a very good week has it Joe?

“Never argue with an idiot; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

If any of these talk radio/tv host’s ever wanted to really change things they would be in service of our country in government. It’s just entertainment. They are in sales not service, as sales put more money in one’s pocket than public service ever did. They insert some exciting banter to get you to the next commercial. The bottom line is buy your stuff from the XYZ store and my latest book about my thoughts on how things should be. It’s just the personal opinion of the shows host of the newspaper stories of the day. I listen for the entertainment, but I have my own thought’s on the newspaper stories of the day. You should too.

Why do you suppose there is so much joy in the humiliation of a man, who probably doesn’t care? Limbaugh says Obama is a socialist huh? Every single American should serve the federal government for a minimum period of time, so that every American may benefit from the services of the government. You want free health care? Well you may not have money for taxes to pay for that health care, but your back is strong. You want financial aid for school? Sure, four years of military service is good for four years at University. I feel some government services are necessary, but anyone who draws from those services shall not do so without contribution nor should they draw service indefinitely, those who do not draw services shall be exempt from extended government service.

Why is this man ( Rush ) able to stay on the air with irresponsible behavior as this. You are talking about the President of the United States leader of the free world. He needs to show him respect . Didn’t one news reporter Dan Rather have to retire when he ran a story about ex-President Bush army national guard time without checking the legitimacy of the source.This is why people like Rush keep getting away with this disrespectful attitude towards are country leadership.

This controversy is ridiculous and mind numbing, who cares if Limbaugh got punked? If you are mad about what Limbaugh and Hannity say on their shows, too bad. I have heard Garofalo call people rednecks and teabags, isn’t the name calling and the outburst from Senator Joe Wilson shouting, “You lie” going too far? The level of incivility on BOTH SIDES is sickening. I feel both the left and the right have some good points. I want heath care for all people in the U.S., immigrants too. How do we pay for it all? We can’t tax ourselves into oblivion.

Of course there are rights and wrongs on both sides, there always is… and always will be. Everyone makes mistakes, but why is it that we as people in general feel we have to measure ourselves by such trite alliances? Standing behind a talk show host (an entertainer) with a “knee jerk” reaction should make you ask yourself why. I like to listen to both sides of the story presented in many different formats. How else do you measure what’ts going on? Just try to stick your thumb in the air and filter out only the breezes blowing in the direction you desire! You want to be spoon fed your beliefs? Remember when you had to show your work in math class and you hated it? Well if you can’t do the math now, you have only yourself to thank for it.

[...] Joe Klein, who was credited as writing the article in the first place says: “…but I wonder about what the willingness to take this cheesy crap as gospel says about Ledeen’s–and Boss Rush’s–sensibility.” [...]

…see, that’s the really scary part. This “cheesy crap” can easily be thrown into the bin with the rest already-dished-out cheesy crap. When it gets difficult the identify varying degrees of cheesy crap, one should have the *stars* scared out of oneself. An american president should by contrast never come close to dishing out cheesy crap. Sadly that’s not the case today.

Most have seen enough to be ready to believe anything about President Obama, not the least of which is appointing a racist who belongs to La Raza/”The Race”.

His demonstrated utter contempt when he decided to receive the Nobel and distribute the prize. It is prohibited both by the US Consitution and the US Code.

The Constitution, Article I, Section 9, that says:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or, foreign state.

It is also a violation of the US Code to accept gifts of over $100 under: Receipt and disposition of foreign gifts and decorations TITLE 5 > PART III > Subpart F > CHAPTER 73 > SUBCHAPTER IV > § 7342. Receipt and disposition of foreign gifts and decorations (a) For the purpose of this section— (1) “employee” means— (E) the President and the Vice President;

There is a lot of poo flying around lately…

“Every single American should serve the federal government for a minimum period of time, so that every American may benefit from the services of the government. ”
Let’s just keep making requirements for people in the “land of the free.” Perhaps appealing to people’s sense of duty and desire of serving others would be more likely to benefit our country than having forced labor instated. I’ve read that the slaves were generally well cared for, however I still would never want to be one…

Interesting comparisan between Rush and Rather, but you left out one key point: RATHER LIED! You libs just love to attack Rush, though the best you can come up with is fat jokes. Just like Joe, and this rag, leftwing rantings with no substance. Rush, like any American with any common sense, sees Obama for what he is: a far left socialist anti American Chicago thug. Hard to respect that. You lefties hate the man, for the same reason Obama hates him. He’s always right. Though you deny this and scoff, and call names and ridicule, you have nothing in the way of substance to dispute him with. Right 99.1 pecent of the time, and with half his brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair.

In analyzing the psyches of conservatives to understand the archetypes that make them click, I have identified several characteristics. They are full of fear hence their clinging to guns and resistance to change, they are literal-mythic, meaning they interpret symbols and religious content literally, and they are full of aggression so hence their love of war, and they typically lack discernment….the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. These are of course generalizations and no one segment of the population can be totally pigeon holed. Yet…the 4 characteristics prove themselves correct….just read the news. In Limbaugh’s case, this is a case of blatant lack of discernment and his over the top aggression. He interpreted a phony piece of information to be literally true. Limbaugh and his followers clearly represent a lower primitive level of consciousness. Rush Limbaugh is so owned! Punked! Go away Rush. You been had.
