You know, I am sensing a real shift happening here. Not just from the Democratic Party, but from everyone that is shit upon by the Goddamn Republicans.

They just shit on us and shit on us and shit some more, and we, the hard working people who make this country great, we just take it in stride. We just put up with it. We're all just a bunch of fucking slaves to them, they the aristocratic few, with all their money and power. They sit back and they laugh until their bellies run full with hatred for us.

Their clowns like Rush Limbaugh say things like,

"So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch."

Way ta' tell a bitch what to do Mr. Limbaugh, sir. And don't worry if we catch you coming back from a place well known for sex trade with illegal drugs, you are safe under our Right-wing.

And you have other mindless drones like Glenn Beck agreeing with complete hypocrites and bigots like Rick Santorum about Obama indoctrinating people by sending them to college.

"I understand why Barack Obama wants to send every kid to college, because of their indoctrination mills, absolutely," he told Beck. "The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country."

Anyone following the Howard Stern versus Michele Bachman feud?



This led to Michele Bachmann responding to her supporters about Howard.

Earlier this week, notorious shock jock Howard Stern called me "the worst person in the world" during his daily radio show.

To conservatives, this message from Howard Stern, a man whose only contribution to our culture was years of corrupting America's youth on public airwaves, was clear: "either abandon your beliefs and agree with me, or be dragged through the mud and demonized on national radio." I don't accept this false choice, and I know you don't either.

While Stern can say anything he wants on satellite radio, his words have an impact on his millions of listeners as well as the people his listeners talk to, which is why I need your help to counteract with our positive message. We must fight back and maintain our focus on what is important.

These are serious times, and our nation faces serious issues. The direction that America is headed requires serious discussion by serious people, and Howard Stern is not a serious person. We cannot allow attacks from him or anybody else to distract us from a laser focus on what is truly important: holding President Obama and his Democratic allies accountable for their mortgaging of our future. I know you share my determination and, with your help, our message of prosperity for our nation's future will drown out the noise of their attacks.

Howard Tweeted back,

"Just read Michelle bachman's comments," tweeted Stern Saturday. "Can't wait to get back on the air. Spoke with the lord a few minutes ago and he is on my side...If thinking that gay people have a right to happiness is corrupting America then I will continue corrupting them. Time to shun this woman."

And here is Howard's response on Sirius.



Who's more disgusting? All the things people claim about Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh?

And as I speak, Joe Arpiao is at it again, claiming proof the President forged his birth certificate.

Do they think we're all that stupid? And how stupid are the people who buy this bullshit?

The truth is, they can't attack the economy anymore. So it's back to guns, gays and God.
They don't want you educating yourself, they just want you to believe what they tell you to believe.
Don't be a slave to their madness, bigotry, sexism, hatred and denial.
Who's side are you on when Republican men wage war on the women?

Republicans are inflaming the rest of us, making being a Liberal something to be damn proud of, 'cause the alternative is so fucking shameful that it's hard to fathom how anyone falls prey to their insanity.

[AmareIsGod]

I love it Lad. Listened to both of the Howard clips. If there are people on the side of Bachman or Santorium, we're fucked. I can't believe these groups of "people" are the way they are. It's scary.

[Nodack]

They are the way they are because they were raised that way by their parents and they believe their god believes that way I think. People in Afghanistan were raised Muslim. People raised in India are Hindu.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the big picture. We are all just people that come up with all kinds of beliefs depending on where you were born and how you were raised. I was raised for the most part by a single parent who didnt force any beliefs down my throat and didn't tell me any group was bad, gays, blacks, Mexicans, Asians or any religions, so I made all my own conclusions and I am really gratefull for that. If my parents didn't get a divorce when I was a baby I probably would be a right wing Republican Fox watching Christian and hate gay people and Muslims because I was supposed to and everybody else I know would think the same thing.

My Republican relatives in N.D. no longer speak to me. I kept getting anti Obama emails from a certain aunt. You know, the emails that say outrages things presented as facts and sent out to fifty people. They are devout Christians and FOX News watchers and I finally had enough and responded with a rebuttle to their claims with links to proof their claims were BS and sent it back to every person on their list. I did get a response from one realive that said thanks for doing it and that they were tired of the Obama bashing as well. My aunt sent back an email saying she had no idea I was such a left wing Liberal. I replied that I wasn't a Democrat and that I was just an anti Republican. At least the emails stopped, but I don't think I will be getting any invites to hang out with them.

I have also been watching the Koran burning debacle which to me is similar. To Muslims the Koran is the most sacred bookthere is and to destroy it is punishable by death in their world. I think all religions are cults so I think they are mistaken, but we are occupying their country and if we are serious at all about winning their hearts and minds we shouldn't be crapping all over their beliefs, torturing their people and taking pictures of it for fun, urinating on their dead and posting it on uTubeor by destroying their Koran in front of Muslims when we know already how they feel.

Right wing Conservatives want to hate gays? That's their prerogative, but trying to make laws to stop them from being gay or keep them from getting married or trying to subject them to religious brainwashing to cleanse them from being gay is going to far. If I were like them I would try to make laws outlawing religion. I'm not and respect everyone's right to choose their own path as long as they don't force feed me their beliefs.

I don't like Howard Sterm much, but I think he is much more of a human than Bachman or Santorum. I don't include Rush Limbaugh in the human category.

[Ladmo]

You guys get it, Howard get's it, a lot of people get it. I don't get how there are people out there who don't get it. We seem to have a majority of people in this state that don't get it.

I work in law enforcement now and some of the people I work with have their jobs because they have connections in the Republican Party. I walk into certain people's offices and they have Rush playing. So many people, former judges and the like, just adore Rush. I have to bite my tongue a lot.

I have people that work over me and under me with all these delusions. I've heard things like, the problem with this country is that the "Leftist's" are far more Left that Right-wingers are Right-leaning. Which to me is astounding. There was some study done recently that had proven that for the last like 100 years or something that each Republican President has leaned further Right than the last one, and every Democratic President has also leaned more Right than the last Republican President. I look at the fact that the President gave the Republicans 98% of what they wanted during the last debt battle as proof that Democrats bend over backward for Republicans. Speeches like this one from Obama really encourages me that maybe we're finally getting to the point where the Democrats are allowed to defend themselves for a change.

This Sheriff Babeu scandal really hit a lot of Republican's like a ton of bricks. I know a lot of people who really looked up to him, and used him to cite what is wrong with illegal immigration. A lot of people thought he had a great career ahead of him and really believed somewhere down the line he would run for President. To hear how disappointed they are about this guy, not because he maliciously used his power for his own gain, but because he's gay, disappointed about his sexual orientation, not his immoral activities, it has been truly amazing to overhear. They all jumping off that bandwagon.

To my gay friends, they could not understand how this guy could be such a racist, bigoted Republican and it turns out he's actually gay, and I am saying to them that there is likely something that the Republicans have on him. Well, we learned this week that he ran a private school and had a relationship with one of his students.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1304133.html

Disgraced Arizona congressional candidate and GOP sheriff Paul Babeu is facing yet another round of unseemly charges.

The Pinal County sheriff, who stepped down as Arizona's co-chair for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign amidst allegations he threatened a gay ex-lover with deportation, reportedly served as headmaster for the now-defunct DeSisto School in Stockbridge, Mass. from 1999 to 2001. When Babeu -- a retired major in the Army National Guard and an ex-police officer -- was in charge, the Massachusetts Office of Child Care Services launched an investigation into repeated claims of physical and sexual abuse from students at the private boarding school, ABC15 is reporting.

More questionable still: Babeu's older sister Lucy told the news station that she confronted her brother after finding a 17-year-old student from the school, which services troubled teens, living with him. She noted: “I said what is this student from Desisto doing here? He says, 'Lucy, he's my boyfriend. I love him.'"

Lucy claims her brother, once considered one of his state's rising Republican stars, was clearly having a relationship with the student, who has not been identified: "I said, 'Paul, get a hold of yourself here,'" said Lucy. "You were his teacher! You were his Executive Director! You can't do this."

At age 17, the student would have been the legal age of consent in Massachusetts.

Babeu, 43, has denied claims that he threatened former lover Jose Orozco with deportation back to Mexico, but has acknowledged that he is gay. "I'm here to say that all these allegations ... are absolutely completely false except for the issues that refer to me as being gay," he is quoted by the Associated Press is saying. "Because that's the truth."

The Republican Party has always had strong mob ties. If you study what was going on during Prohibition, during the Great Depression, Republicans were the dirtiest of the dirty. I don't think things have changed that much. It is abundantly obvious to me that Babeu was a puppet and a tool of the Right. I do wonder however, is this all a charade? Did Babeu purposely out himself in a faux scandal pertaining to illegal immigration to relieve the pressure from having to continue being a prop in Republican politics?

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2012-...lling-scandal/

"This is 20-plus years that I've had numerous people [who] would threaten this to me, to expose me, go to my chain of command — even in the military — and have done so," he said.

"And so it's almost a relief today," he continued. "To be able to not be threatened. Because not only is that not fair to define people along those very personal, those very private, parts of who they are. That's how I've lived my life and defined myself."

All I can say for sure is that it has been quite interesting to witness how the Tea Party fascists are taking this.

I have asked some of the Republicans I know, who will discuss it with me without getting upset or endangering my job, what the fuck is going on with their party? How do they feel about what's happening, with the social issues being the main point of topic. With Santorum doing well while attacking women's issues, being so hateful towards the homosexual community, getting so involved in people's bedrooms with contraception, abortion, etc. And I have heard people tell me they refuse to vote, because there is no one they believe in, and they refuse to vote for Obama. Many are shunning their own party for the time being. But some still will vote Republican solely on their beliefs, and turn a complete blind eye towards positions of their candidates. I ask some people what they think about some of this shit and they don't even know what's going on. I have heard some extremist Christian-rightests tell me that they pay no attention to politics at all.

There's one guy who has told me and several of my coworkers several "Obama jokes." None half as bad as the one Chief Federal Judge Richard Cebull told in a email, but offensive enough that I did confront the guy with several political truths that dispute his opinions based on his faith, and none on any facts. And the guy actually had the nerve to tell me he respected everyone's opinions, including mine. The women in my office were actually cheering me on for proving to this moron that he didn't know a fucking thing.

Judge unlikely to face removal for racist message about Obama

Come this summer, Judge Richard Cebull will be conducting business in a brand new $79 million federal courthouse in Billings, Montana, paid for through President Obama's economic recovery program. That is, if Cebull survives the firestorm engulfing him for forwarding a racist e-mail about the president.

Several advocacy groups and lawmakers have called for Cebull's resignation, but the judge will probably not face any harsh punitive action, said CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.

It's rare and generally very difficult to force federal judges from office. They receive tenure, and the Constitution guarantees they can remain on the bench during good behavior.

The standards for removal are not clear, beyond a violation of civil or criminal law. Congress would have to initiate impeachment proceedings, but the few judges to face that have usually resigned before an outcome.

"The problem is there is almost no remedy for judicial misconduct except by impeachment by the House and removal by the Senate," Toobin said.

And in Cebull's case, while the e-mail was out of line, it just wasn't enough of a big deal to warrant removal, Toobin said.

"All that can happen is he can be embarrassed," he said.

But he added that Cebull's action was "deeply appalling" and the judge ought to be humiliated by his own behavior.

Cebull admitted he forwarded from his courthouse account a February 20 message he received from his brother.

"Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching," the message said. "I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.

"A little boy said to his mother, 'Mommy, how come I'm black and you're white?' His mother replied, 'Don't even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark!'"

Obama is of mixed race.

President George W. Bush named the Billings-based judge to the bench in 2001. He has been chief judge since 2008, overseeing two other full-time district judges, three senior or part-time judges and five magistrates.

His chambers have not returned calls from CNN.

Since word of the e-mail became public, Cebull has initiated an ethics complaint against himself and sent Obama a letter of apology.

"I sincerely and profusely apologize to you and your family for the e-mail I forwarded," Cebull wrote to Obama. "I accept full responsibility; I have no one to blame but myself.

"Honestly, I don't know what else I can do. Please forgive me and, again, my most sincere apology."

Cebull told the Billings Gazette that his conduct in court over many years has shown he is not a racist, but he admitted the public got that impression from the e-mail. "And I don't blame them," he said.

The judge also separately told the Great Falls Tribune, "The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan. I didn't send it as racist, although that's what it is. I sent it out because it's anti-Obama."

In his letter to Alex Kozinski, the chief judge for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Cebull said the e-mail became public after it was forwarded further and eventually reached a Great Falls Tribune reporter. Cebull said he was requesting an inquiry as to whether his actions amount to judicial misconduct.

But several advocacy groups and congressional leaders have already called on Cebull to step down from the bench.

"If he has any respect for his office and for ideals of equality and human dignity on which our country was founded, Judge Cebull will step down today," said Bob Edgar, president and CEO of the government watchdog group Common Cause. "The message he has acknowledged circulating demonstrates a lack of judicial temperament that ought to disqualify him from further service."

Edgar said Cebull ought to study the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges, a set of ethical standards published by the U.S. Judicial Conference which calls on judges "to act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary."

Canon 5 of the code calls on judges to refrain from political activity.

Travis McAdam, executive director of the Montana Human Rights Network, told the Great Falls Tribune that people had called in or e-mailed their anger over Cebull.

"People are really angry and motivated and wanting to do something," McAdam told the newspaper.

Common Cause has filed a formal ethics complaint with the 9th Circuit. The Montana Human Rights Network plans to do the same.

Toobin said the Cebull case is prickly because Americans take such pride in their judiciary.

"It's very serious," he said. "Federal judges generally have been above reproach. They are the crown jewels of the American judicial system."

The audacity to be so vitriolic towards the President does not stop with these people.

How am I supposed to show these arrogant fucking assholes any amount of respect when they are completely disrespectful?

Seriously, they think this IS being respectful.
They think the Right has not gone far ENOUGH.
They think it's the Left that has gone too far.

I can't believe for a second that after attacking women like they have the last few weeks that it doesn't result in a COMPLETE landslide come November. Like I said, some in the Republican Party cannot vote for the possible candidates and aren't going to vote at all. The only people who are going to show up and vote against Obama are the ones filled with hatred and blinded by their beliefs. They aren't voting for anyone or anything, only against what they despise. The guy they claim isn't a Christian, who they want to believe wasn't really born in America. You know these people, otherwise known as the lunatic fringe.

What it comes down to is they've got nothing.
They have no direct plans to solve any of the problems their party has created.
All they can do is attack Obama, women and gays. And while some people eat it up, in the end it ain't gonna' fly.
You have to wonder how far they can go with voter suppression before November, because that's the only possible chance they have left.
