Brandon “If That’s His Real Name” Darby, Andrew Breitbart Presents: Big Government:
Former Leftist Activist, Turned FBI Informant, Pulls Back the Curtain On ACORN
- Hi, I was an undercover informant for the FBI who infiltrated leftist groups and allegedly provoked them into committing crimes. When ACORN…um. [dials phone] Andrew? Brandon. No, definitely, thanks, uh-huh. Actually, yes: Why is everybody laughing?
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Note:
1) Among the under-recognized facts of life on the political left — and a list of these might be fun to compile or read — is that moonbats exist, and that at their battiest, they can be nearly as annoying in reality as they are to conservatives. That said, and intending no judgment or prejudice toward the Austin, TX activist community, here’s some context on Darby’s ‘leftist activism’.
2) Theme cf.
Finally, we get a circle jerk around here . . .
The article has an interesting perspective.
Darby is offended that when he got to New Orleans, local black community organizers insulted him by suggesting he was “privileged white people who had come to a Black community as saviors”.
Thus, not a legitimate community worker whose intentions truly matched his stated goals.
After experiencing this, he thought it would be awesome to go play leftist again in another community and this time play being a privileged white person who was working with local leftists as a savior, while actually being a police provocateur.
His reaction to being insulted as an untrustworthy poseur with hidden motives was to embrace a job as an untrustworthy poseur with hidden motives.
And then there’s this:
Act Two. My Way or the FBI Way.
Brandon Darby was a radical activist and one of the founders of the incredibly effective relief organization Common Ground. Michael May reports on how Darby changed from a revolutionary who wanted the overthrow of the U.S. government into an informant working with the FBI against his former radical allies. (17 minutes)

O gavin, a Germs reference?
I don’t know whether to be tickled, or offended at how you’ve besmirched an honest junkie punk.
I’m a communist 🙂
Hi Gavin. How’s the wife and kid?
lexicon devil, I believe you’re thinking of Keith Morris.
Remember how David Horowitz too used to think he was an awesome revolutionary right in the thick of all the action, right up until a friend of his also working in a Black Panther office was killed, and from then on Horowitz spent his life trying to save everyone else from becoming the foolish, ego-driven ‘revolutionary’ he had tried to become by accusing any non-right-wing teaching as automatically driving students to mindless leftism?
Why are all these people determined to save the rest of us from what is clearly their own weaknesses?
I’m a day-old baby and you can’t tell me when I can or can’t pee!
So did the Repugs ever find somebody who voted fraudulently because of ACORN?
Just asking.
Why all the hate for teh yur-a-peein’s?
~
So did the Repugs ever find somebody who voted fraudulently because of ACORN?
No more than they found WMDs in Iraq.
And eeeeewww, a link to “This American Life”? Cripes, I should download it and keep it around for next time I’m plagued with insomnia, except for the fact that wassis-face’s voice makes me want to punch someone.
Zombies are ticklish?

I’m guessing if I click the Big Ho link, I’ll learn that Acorn are the true racists.
Yeah, but you wind up with gore under your fingernails, so people don’t push it a lot.
Zombies are ticklish?
plus, you have to get within range of the chompers.
Substance is one talk about the Gore, with all the Prelutsky over at his place.
The people in the farmhouse are the True Zombies.
And don’t even get me started on the people in teh Mall.
So did the Repugs ever find somebody who voted fraudulently because of ACORN?
No more than they found WMDs in Iraq.
And yet the Census Bureau cuts all ties with Acorn, while contractors buy underage sex slaves.

Oh and not to mention Van Jones and now a dude at the NEA fucked at Glenn Beck’s command
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ybenjamin/detail??blogid=150&entry_id=47278
I wonder what rethugs will ask for next that the Dems will cave on? Funding for a legal procedure for a valid medical condition that American women need? Letting undocumented immigrants use their own money to buy a service?
Oh, wait…
And don’t even get me started on the people in teh Mall.
Why do you think Romero set “Dawn” there?
Oh gee. I dunno. Why?
Darby O’Shill and those he views as the Little People.
‘I’m a 31-year-old revolutionary, and you can’t tell me when I can or can’t pee!’”
Ha, I love it. This is how real revolutionaries do it, Darby.
Now off to read the whole Austin Chronicle piece.
Sleeping Giant, whacked-out on No-Doz, listening to Viennese opera
This never ends well.
Joan Jett produced that??
Oh, and on a weekend when tens of thousands of the frothingest kookoo-bananas rightwing reactionary mouthbreathers are marching in DC, let’s make damn sure we find a handful on the other side to hold up for balance, right?
Hell, yeah, Joan Jett produced that, and did a kickass job, too.
As for The Other Darby, he sounds like a real asshole; a loudmouth, domineering, action freak–before he turned informer/provocateur.
And this jumped out at me:
“Why didn’t I try to discourage them? You don’t know that I did or didn’t,” Darby insists. “For all you know, I could have gotten in trouble for violating the rules and trying to discourage somebody from doing something.”
Rules? What rules? Roberts’ Rules for informants? You don’t “violate the rules” by convincing someone not to commit a felony.
Let me add “self-justifying” to the above list.
How dare anyone suggest there are some lefties that are annoying? I suppose next you’re going to tell me that someone has already come along and proved this to be true?
It’s already been linked in the third comment, by Jimmy Billy, and emphatically reviled in a later comment, by Pere Ubu, but the This American Life Episode about Darby, while fairly sympathetic to him, gave pretty good background and raised the relevant questions well.
I’m not sure if I can hyperlink to the episode – something about the syntax within the URL makes the preview suggest it will fail – but if it doesn’t get fouled up the following link should work.
“Why didn’t I try to discourage them? You don’t know that I did or didn’t,” Darby insists. “For all you know, I could have gotten in trouble for violating the rules and trying to discourage somebody from doing something.”
The prime directive, perhaps, but actually I think it’s more likely that “the rules” were laid down by his bureau contacts, who wished to make an arrest, and didn’t want him doing anything to “discourage somebody from doing something”– in other words, to increase the likelihood of it.
Gets creepier every time I think about it.
LDMM again (Gav’s is the only laptop we brought to the hospital). We’re all doing well, and Dash is eating and sleeping and pooping in the requisite amounts. Mostly he’s being very, very adorable, and getting lots and lots of snuggles. I think we get to go home tomorrow, where the snuggles will continue unabated.
In the history of FBI informants and leftists groups, the ratio of FBI informants turning out to be agent provocateurs is very close to 1 to 1.
Huh, I guess COINTELPRO never really ended, eh?
Darby is a bad liar, which I say based simply on his piece for Breibart. He never cites actual interaction with ACORN, just his own memory of rumors relayed to him about the nasty people not liking his noble self. When someone refuses to acknowledge any assholery by themselves in a situation it’s because they’re the true asshole in the story.
It’s true, tho, that the black block are not helping anyone or anything but their own supply of cheap jollies.
And congrats to the newly expanded family.
“ACORN” = “Obama’s Seekrit Ninja Assassination Force”.
Everyone knows that.

Hell, yeah, Joan Jett produced that, and did a kickass job, too.
Not bad considering she was 18….
This with regard to Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government. ABC News:
From Big Government’s list of contributors:
Going to see Von Mises, we shall not be moved
Going to see Von Mises, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that’s planted by the water
We shall not be moved
Now THAT was a fucking party, smuggaloes!
Joan Jett produced that??
More like whoever the engineer was, actually. Some bands don’t need producers.
Halfway through the penultimate review.
There will be a stage, jumbotrons and an excellent sound system
I could look up ‘jumbotron’, but I prefer to speculate that it is an accelerator for smashing elephants together at close to the speed of light.
Marita, congratulations and thanks for the update. I’m glad you are all doing well, and hope it continues the same, or better.
And I see BIG GUMMINT has appeared on the radar. I’m going to Breitbart’s basement & giving him the finger right now.
Eat me, WP.
Synchronicity/blog-pimpin’: Breitbart’s basement.
“ACORN” = “Obama’s Seekrit Ninja Assassination Force”.
That’d actually be OSNAF.
Pronounced “Oh, SNAF!”
let’s make damn sure we find a handful on the other side to hold up for balance, right?
Dana Milbank can always reliably find two
perceptive observerscrazed leftists for every tea-bagging, grammar-challenged, Glenn Beck fan.Oh noes!! They questioned the Vice-President’s evidence!! They criticized Guantanamo!! They oppose torture!!
The way things are, the concept of moonbattery doesn’t even belong in the conversation. The true left is never allowed anywhere near policy, while the radical right is invited to stomp all over it before their given final cut.
Congratulations to the happy couple and their new earthling. Also.
Seems to me this guy craves situations that make him the nucleus of attention & adoration – when his more-hardcore-than-thou tactics eliminated that possibility from the left, he became an FBI informant, knowing that he’d soon be basking in plentiful doses of admiration from the right.
The irony of the thing is that he may wind up getting terrorized, maimed or killed by macho ultra-radicals exactly like his “former” self. What goes around comes around.
Everyone would have been much better off if he’d just started a boy-band.

Do you have any idea what could happen if the Large Pachyderm Collider is run at full power, you fools? You are meddling with forces beyond your comprehension.
Also, POOP.
Quote juxtaposition because it amuses me (both from the Austin Chronicle).
David Horowitz needs the competition.
Heh…he was traumatized in Venezuela by being told it was illegal to ask the Chávez government to give him money to overthrow BushCo?
So much for the evil commies conspiring to overthrow Amurrica.
So for eight years there, when the wingers would get on their high horse about Chavez and I would say I’d trade Presidents with Venezuela in a hot minute, that would have been a non-starter as well?
Oh, they’re still on the high horse. And so are a lot of people calling themselves Democrats, too. It’s all nonsense.
BTW, speaking of nonsense: that Chicago Public Radio program has Darby claiming that he was urged to go and meet with the FARC in Colombia by officials of the Venezuelan government. This is bullshit, plain and simple. Nobody just out of the blue gets offered any such opportunities, much less a mentally-unstable Yank.
Seems to me this guy craves situations that make him the nucleus of attention & adoration
Exactly.
Also note Hal Turner, whose FBI informant mission was apparently to get leftist radicals to attack him so the FBI could get the lefties.
Excuse me, do I look like a link factory?
It is nice to know however that for whatever strides the FBI has made in its post-Hoover years, the guys in charge of their informants is still keeping jack-booted hope alive.
WATCH THE BORDERS.
I love other peoples’ wee offspring (in limited doses) and wish to coo remotely but appreciatively at the successful calving of Gavin and Dr. Missus.
(Back to aggressively grazing marine algae while being ignored by the lady limpets)
Oh, yeah– that last part is why I’m perpetually enraged.
♫Everything old is new a-gain♫
From this post about Kay Bailey Hutchison’s utter and complete turd of an op ed bit in the WaPo fishwrap, where she carps on about czars and, undoubtedly, czardines,
I just thought that comment #2 pretty much won the interbutt for the day.
Jonah Goldberg’s new low.
Jonah Goldberg’s new low.
The longer: Republican candidates would win more elections if their spouses would accommodate their sexual perversions rather than divorcing them.
This is an intriguing argument which I hope Mr Goldberg will revisit, possibly going into greater depth and more care.
The shorter: Kitchen. Sammich. Nao.
Which is something I too hope he spends much more time on.
One can only speculate about the events in the Goldberg household that have brought about his current resentment of uptight prudish wives who ruin their husbands’ careers by failing to share an enthusiasm for public sex and wife-swapping clubs.
For God’s sakes, man, go ahead & speculate!
The shorter: Kitchen. Sammich. Nao.
Ah, lucky Jonah, always in the middle…
That’s fine, thank you.
More protest signs for teabaggers:
“The Silent Majority insists spouses attend sex clubs against their will.”
Yeah! God! Lighten up, bitch! What, are you being pressured by the god-damned liberal fatcysts who want you to eat whole grain bread, so now it’s somehow ‘not cool’ to be pressured to have sex in public in a surprise visit to a strange club so that your husband can get his jollies off with your mute, non-crying compliance? Jeeesh.
Why didn’t you just lay back and think of the holodeck? Fuckin’ uptight liberal fatcysts.
Really, this is all the fault of the French revolutionaries, because the center of a point is that they tried to make politics into a religion, but also because they tried to get beyond politics.
Malibu Borgie, it is you we have to blame! God said it, Pantsload tweeted it, and I believe it!
As for this dip trying to wear the mantle of Herbert Philbrick, all I can say is that a person who isn’t a revolutionary at twenty has no heart, and a person who isn’t a raging conservative at 30 has no brains. So Darby has two matching holes: one in his chest and one in his head.
The thing with counterfactuals is that you can imagine whichever ones you like. You can, for instance, imagine a personality change in Obama’s Republican rival in 1984, such that he did not combine a public endorsement of Republican family values with a private fondness for sexual humiliation of his wife, thereby allowing him to remain in the contest.
OR you can imagine a personality change to the wife of said Republican candidate, such that she was willing to play along and abase herself at sex clubs, with the same outcome of avoiding a political scandal.
Mr Goldberg prefers the latter counterfactual. “I blame Jerri Ryan.”
So Darby has two matching holes: one in his chest and one in his head.
Actually he has three…the one in his head is part of a matched set, its twin being the one in his ass.
Now if Seven of Nine had actually agreed to be a six in public and the story had gotten out, it would still have ruined Ryan’s election chances but JoGo would now be complaining about the “promiscuous lefty slut” that put Obama into power. It would of course never occur to him that the behavior of a Repug candidate could ever be the problem.
In England, they might have called me a colourful paedophile.
you can imagine a personality change to the wife of said Republican candidate, such that she was willing to play along and abase herself at sex clubs, with the same outcome of avoiding a political scandal.
Because he was in no danger of his proclivities ever becoming public by, say, someone noticing an up-and-coming(STS) family values Republican or his celebrity wife having kinky sex in full view.
So did the Repugs ever find somebody who voted fraudulently because of ACORN?
No more than they found WMDs in Iraq.

I believe Gavin’s been through this one before…
From the AP last January:The National Park Service says it will rely on a media report that says 1.8 million people attended President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
Park service spokesman David Barna said the agency did not conduct its own count. Instead, it will use a Washington Post account that said 1.8 million people gathered on the U.S. Capitol grounds, National Mall and parade route, he said.
“It is a record,” Barna said. “We believe it is the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever.”
The truth will out update:
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/912_demonstration_massive_well.html
Heheheheh
Awesome.
Jim Carroll died! Fuck.
See, what you all don’t realize is that the inauguration was actually the first teabagger party. Sure the MSM will not cover that angle and choose to simply ignore it. So why is it that you only see crowd shots at the event from a distance? Most likely to prevent you from seeing the myriad of poorly spelled signs protesting the socialest president. It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
See also Democracy Now!‘s segment:
http://www.democracynow.org/2009/1/6/prominent_austin_activist_admits_he_infiltrated.
The litter comparison is very revealing…….until you realize that it’s highly likely that 1) for the inaugural, there might have been actual programs issued, generating more paper items than at the Teabaggin’ and 2) for many high-security events, trash-cans are removed from public areas.
But of course it just goes to show you that Teabaggers care more about the environment that DFH’s.
RIP Jim Carroll.
Malibu Borgie
Excellent.
According to Time magazine, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Odetta performed at the march, and Martin Luther King gave a really good speech.
RIP Jim Carroll.
I’m so plain vanilla. I had never heard of this person in my life. However, when Larry Gelbart passed away Friday, I practically could’ve written the obit myself (although Blame It On Rio surprised me).
…Remember how David Horowitz…
Reading those links, that’s the first thing that came to mind: Dude’s a Young David Horowitz. Ewwww.
I thought Jim Carroll was already dead. What was the damn movie about?
The litter comparison is very revealing…….until you realize that it’s highly likely that 1) for the inaugural, there might have been actual programs issued, generating more paper items than at the Teabaggin’ and 2) for many high-security events, trash-cans are removed from public areas.
The fact is that 20 – 25 times more people = at least 20 – 25 times as much trash. Also.
Also, to refute those who say that there could not have been that big a crowd due to the lack of porta potties I must remind you that a very large percentage of those attending would be wearing Depends.

Well there’s your problem right there.
Well there’s your problem right there.
When I say working, I mean I am trying hard to get this gul-darn bag of Cheetos open. (Oops, there they go! All over the floor. Oh well, they still taste just as good.)
Dan Bana, David Barna, whatever. Maybe it was Tony Danza. Anyway, close enough. The fact remains that someone at some point once said that something was the “largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever” and that’s good enough for us. So what if they weren’t referring to our event; it’s an event and its Washington. All things equal, its exactly the same.
Now, here’s some aerial shots of a garbage dump, proving once and for all that there were eight hundred billion people at our march. Suck it, libtards.
Damn!
I was told it was a “Fire David Letterman” rally.
Okay, would everyone who took a picture that has me in it, last Saturday in Washington, D.C., please throw it away?
Thanks.
(I’m the dorpy white guy who doesn’t look very angry at all.)
You know what, it’s okay when some don’t know who the godlike Jim Carroll was much less remember their Darby Crash from a circle jerk, it’s lovely, there is no problem and I can’t say that for any other place on the web. Speaking for myself, I just, get irrationally offended in any circumstance in which my references are not recognized. It’s like a betrayal and I’ve tried to get over this but at 51 years old it’s a trait. The emotional investment, the time and devotion put into that one thing is not to be taken lightly, feel me? There is also a real tension between a duty to proselytize and childish hoarding of these special things that has aged me beyond measure. Pop culture is disposable, you’re not supposed to have washed up cult figure punk rock heroes, way to make the rest of us feel shallow and out of touch. That’s the vibe. Yes, I am an elitist, living on dog food. So, blessed be Sadlynaughts, no worries about blasting into a thread called Darby Crap and wailing about the death of Jim Carroll; if there is a place for that there’s a reason I came here the instant I heard the news.

I felt the same way when d. boon died. As God is my witness, I vow to never feel like that again until the cursed day when Nena shuffles off this mortal coil.
How low does he have to tunnel before even the less-swift among his fanclub twig to the simple fact that he’s an utter dimtard, whose only “talent” is a galloping academic coma?
His twin mottos are “I never quite got around to reading/seeing/finding it” & “Maybe I’ll post about that later” … kind of a fucking major motif of untreated intellectual concussion going on there.
Did his Mom tell him MSG was a vitamin?
Jonah’s “fans” (if he has any) couldn’t care less, Jim. Jonah exists to annoy liberals with ridiculous codswallop. Reason, logic, or consensus reality have nothing to do with it.
Nor would presence or absence of fans make any difference – Jonah would be paid just the same, in thanks of the services his mother has performed.
“How low does he have to tunnel before…”
Well look at his audience. These are people who read him, listen to Rush and watch Glenn Beck.
You know, morons.
And I speculate that Jonah imagines that if Jeri had just gone along with her husband’s perversions he [J-Load] would have had a chance to sit in and get a peek at some of that. That’s why he’s mad at her.
But K-Load would never permit that to be put up on the site so he had to make something up about Obama, but never before with such detail and such care.
So Jonah, where do all the accommodating wives fit into this? Sanford’s wife knew about his thing. Can anyone possibly believe Mrs. Craig didn’t know of Larry’s penchant for sucking cock in tea rooms? Did Mrs. Bob Allen ever ask him just what it was he like so much about the park? That guy in Nevada…Ensign, yeah, that’s it. One suspects his wife and children helped him negotiate the payola.
Goldberg Twitter update:
Goldberg moves on to bigger and better things:
Jonah’s “fans” (if he has any)
The ugly truth is that he has millions of fans – many of whom are patently much brighter than he is.
It’s not hard to let confirmation bias take your mind off someone’s deficit of rigor or their recurring need to emit profound-sounding contrarian tripe.
For disturbingly many average people his repeated TeeVee talking-head cameos would be the sole evidence they’d need to consider his opinion at least worthy of serious attention – if not downright authoritative & in-the-know.
After all, those TeeVee People always seem to know more than we mere mortals … you betcha!
Also, felicitations to Gavin and Dr. Missus Marita and teh little Dashboard. Can’t wait for the early days stream-of-sleep-deprived-consciousness posts to come.
Who won the pool? T’warn’t me and I’m much too busy to check the thread. Could someone do it for me? Thanks! </pantload>
BWAHAHAHA Sorry. While out for a smoke, I realized that my previous comment neglected to mention Mrs. Charlie Crist, Beard.
Speaking of the Boston Three, OH FRABJOUS DAY!
What are the details? I spent the weekend dragging my knee throughout the Cascades so I’m completely behind times here.
Hey, maybe I won!
Ok, I get it, If Clinton had been a Republican it would have been all Monica’s fault.
Jonah: “Life is too short.”
Life is too short for so many things, like doing one’s own reading and research, error checking and correcting, all those piddling little time wasters.
OneMan – I think I might have won the pool, but since no one has yet posted the actual time of birth, not sure. I had 9:45 pm EST.
No wonder Troofus has been absent. He’s in jail.
My opinion on Jeri Ryan parallels Alan Harper’s:
I had to look that up, presuming I was not hip enough to get it.
TWO AND A HALF MEN.
You’re not unhip enough to get it.

Here.
Thanks! He’s certainly a keeper, and unless I miss my guess I see hints of wisps of hair peeking out from under his hat. Lucky him. I was as bald as an egg for months, much to my poor mother’s despair…
I had been operating under the assumption that Goldberg was just a bad researcher. I mean, I read Liberal Fascism. It’s a piece of shit, yes, but there are some ideas in there that tangentially approach reality from time to time. Of course, he embeds those nuggets in a giant pile of dross, then stretches them far past the breaking point, but I thought it was at least something worth debating by rational people.
I have changed my mind. After reading this twitter thing, I now know why the English language recently had to change to include the word “douchenozzle”. At first glance, there’s the misogyny, of course. Psst, hey Jonah. “She should have laid back and enjoyed it” isn’t funny, even if you thought you were joking, which I doubt.
But then, there’s the racism. Even if you look past the misogyny, the subtext here is, “If only the Republicans had a white person–ANY white person–to run against Obama, he never would have won Illinois”.
Shame he didn’t call also call Ms. Ryan a lesbian and hit the trifecta in one post, but I guess he really can’t get anything right.
He is ever so much less than that. And more besides.
Psst, hey Jonah. “She should have laid back and enjoyed it” isn’t funny, even if you thought you were joking, which I doubt.
Oh, he thought he was joking, all right. When humorless people try to be funny, it ain’t pretty.
I feel like I would enjoy the Dan Bana story more if there was a picture of him.
Jonah’s the best.
“If only this stupid woman had a sense of humor about her husband’s attempts at sexual abuse!”
::hours pass::
“If only these stupid liberals had a sense of humor about my jokes about politicians and sexual abuse!”
Although, out of a sense of fairness that Jonah would never have for me: I was living in Illinois at the time, and Jack Ryan was polling ahead of Obama. So in the most idiotic, let’s-pretend-the-sexual-abuse-never-happened sort of way, Jonah is right.
Oh, wouldn’t you rather hear his name in the “Banana bana-bo-bana” song?” I know I would!
Actually, Wikipedia informs me that I am stone wrong about Jack Ryan polling ahead of Obama. That’s one other thing you never get from Jonah: corrections!
It is a record…. We believe it is the largest thread hosted at Sadly, No!, ever.
Oh, you thought I meant this thread? I never said that!
It is a record…. We believe that was longest comment ever seen at Sadly, No!, ever.
Is this the NOLA relief work equivalent of “some of my best friends are black?” Does he not realize that it is possible for some black people to be legitimately offended while others are not? He shows up to do relief work and now he gets to dictate what the majority of black people think, who the “good” and “bad” ones are, and what are the salient bits of African American history. He knows intuitively what people really believe and what is only being planted in their feeble minds by outside agitators who have only been living there for their netire lives.
It sounds like ACORN had him pegged.
This is from memory, so sue me if it goes astray. Jeri Ryan filed for divorce in California in the late 1990s. During the 2004 campaign the Chicago Tribune (and may some others outfits) filed for the release of these records, and both Jack and Jeri Ryan fought to keep them from becoming public. Goldberg could have said Ditka and the Tribune are to blame for Black President, the former because he declined to run and the latter because MSM, salaciousness, meddling in private lives. But then that just wouldn’t have been good conservative humor.
Come Mr Tally-man
Tally me Dan Bana
and maybe
Ditka running would have been the funniest fucking thing ever. You just cannot imagine the amount of stupid shit he would have said. Now, he might have had a chance because Illinois loves Da Bears, but I doubt it. No matter what you think of the l’affaire Ryan, blaming Ditka is just petty.
No matter what you think of the l’affaire Ryan, blaming Ditka is just petty.
But it was a humorous joke, so it doesn’t have to be factual. Or make sense.
It is a record…. We believe J— employs the largest dash ever seen on the internet, ever.
Shouldn’t he blame Sandra Day O’Connor for appointing George W. Bush president? There is no way that the US would have elected a relatively unknown black man with a divorced white mother, running on a platform of change. Not after eight boring years of peace and prosperity.
Also he’s a Muslim and communist and everything.
Or blame McCain and Palin for sucking so badly.
Also he’s a Muslim and communist and everything.
Well yeah, but only because he was nominated. If they had picked Hillary she would have been an illegal immigrant zombie Aztec priestess, as well as a Maoist lesbian and the third witch from Hamlet.
Obama would have been more of a Maxine Waters level threat to America.
Well, yeah. If Obama hadn’t run, I betcha Doughy would be whining about President Edwards right now, sex scandal or no. McCain had a chance, but he managed to run one of the worst presidential campaigns in reent history, fully embracing The Stupid, as personified by his running mate.
As always, it is not that the wrong thing was committed (in this case, trying to force your wife into sexual situations that made her cry), but that such a thing was reported.
If they had picked Hillary she would have been an illegal immigrant zombie Aztec priestess
I was disappointed by her attempt to cover up the pirate android part of her background, as if she were ashamed of it.
good conservative humor
I. am. still. scratching. my. head.
What are you wearing?

RS quotes Steinhauser on coopting revolutionary imagery:
Having tried out the colour-coded People-Power Rage-against-stolen-election model in the old Eastern-bloc countries, time to bring it back to the US.
Needs the requisite colour code, however.

this is a March on Washington, which should conjure up images of the street protests in other countries, like Ukraine, Poland in the 80’s, Estonia, etc.
The fact that they would even think to compare their teabaggery to the Solidarity movement in ’80s Poland is cobaggery of the highest order.
Sure, White Revolution, just like the White Russians. (Not a mixed drink reference.)

BTW, ever wonder at the fact that the Reagan-fapping wingnuts loved ’em some Solidarno?? and labor protests back in the ’80s – as long as it wasn’t in their own country? I know I do.
oh, FYWP not being able to deal with Cyriilic characters.

It’s a record, we believe that more jokes have been made about Dana Bana’s name than anyone else’s in thw Washington D.C. area, ever.
Should have picked this up immediately:
the street protests in other countries, like […] Estonia
WTFSM? Estonians protested against government austerity policies in January this year; and a year earlier there was unrest among ethnic Russians in Tallinn (protesting against removal of a Russian military memorial); but none of the widespread protesting that Steinhauser is claiming as precedent.
Baltic states… former Eastern-bloc states… THEY’RE ALL THE SAME.
Also, Estonian is EVEN WORSE THAN FINNISH.
What’s all this I keep hearing about a bandanna?
Also, January 1991, as the Soviet Union fell apart —
In Lithuania, street battles, tanks, 14 deaths…
In Latvia, “The Days of Barricades”…
In Estonia, THEY SANG FOLK SONGS.
Estonians make decent beer, I’ll give them that.
Patrick Swayze is dead. Does anyone know how hard it would be to repurpose MJ memorabilia?
What’s all this I keep hearing about a bandanna?
No, they’re talking about washing a banana!
Evidently it’s what those kids – GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU BRATS! – today call you-know-what. Dirty! Filthy! Why, that nice Pantload boy never talks about wee-wees and such.
It’s the Singing Revolution! I wonder if he’s referring to the Orange thing in Ukraine a few years ago or some notion he has of that country earlier. I take it that with the specific reference to Poland in the 80s (who could forget Poland) and the vague mention of Estonia, he’s talking about the break-up of the Soviet Union. I would imagine they’d like to try to draw parallels between the USSR and Obama’s 9 months in office.

The Orange thingy is the only way wingnuts even know what a Ukraine is.
Peep?

Was that the one with the guy whose face was slowly eaten by toxins and the woman who was kind of like a blond Princess Leia? That was cool.

The Clone Wars was set in Ukraine?
That’s some weird shit. Steinhauser seems to be saying that the reason that he’s deliberately copying leftist imagery is because leftist imagery is more likely to scare the crap out of mainstream political leaders.
It’s an interesting approach, but why doesn’t Steinhauser just go all the way? Organize the teabaggers into revolutionary cadres openly dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalist power structure, outfit them in inexpensive surplus Red Army uniforms, and hold marches in cities throughout America on the anniversary of the October Revolution. That should draw some attention.
Orange Pekoe teabags scare the hell out of me.

I would personally have hesitated to cite the fragmentation of the Union as an example of the effect he’s trying to achieve, but it’s his astroturf.
“I blame Jerri Ryan.”
I find that a useful shorter to explain the 2004 Illinois senatorial election is “It all hinged on a large-breasted cyborg in a catsuit.”
People rarely ask follow-up questions.

Any resemblance between Viktor Yushchenko and Baron Harkonnen was purely accidental.

In other words, finalize what they’ve been doing for the last eight years, what with secret police and turn-in-your-neighbor programs and the “unitary executive” and loyalty oaths and u.s.w.
“It all hinged on a large-breasted cyborg in a catsuit.”

And now only Whoopi Goldberg can hear him.

Seriously, though, what if she’d gone along with it? Somebody invites you to a swinger’s party and you show up with Jeri Ryan!! You’d be a fucking King!! It might be worth risking a mere political career over.

Yet another example of how political sense (your hypothetical) conflicts with common sense. Suggesting swinging to your wife when she has shown no interest in the topic is a generally bad idea, even if it might help your Q rating.
Surreptitiously taking pictures of her and posting them on the net is, of course, okay. That appears to be the basis of more than half of U.S. marriages.
It seems the Billionaires for Bush have morphed into the Billionaires for Wealthcare and they performed at the big teabagger hootenanny on Saturday.

OMFG. Thanks for re-opening the festering wound that is my trauma at having watched that piece of trash. On the plus side, you have introduced me to my new favourite imdb commenter.
Let me once again rate for Leonard Snerdley at Amazon.

Road House: great conservative film of the late 80s or the greatest conservative film of the late 80s?
I disagree. For one thing, there are no brownskinned people on either side, a pre-requisite for a conservative movie (altho not necessarily required cf Red Dawn).
Moreover, tho, the hero is a graduate of a liberal arts program at New York University. In other words, a candy-assed priss who reads…literature AND bags the hot doctor by doing so.
I might buy this as a conservative parody, a la American Carol, but not as a conservative movie.
Yeah, Joan Jett produced “GI” aka Germs Incognito. While a couple of people say she was passed out drunk, she admits she passed out during “Shut Down” and that’s why it’s called shut down because the abrupt ending is her coming to and pulling the plug. It’s no secret Joan was a heavy drinker for a long time. They didn’t have an engineer as Slash Records was very low budget and The Germs couldn’t afford to pay anybody to produce their record. That’s how Joan got involved. Add the fact that NOBODY wanted anything to do with The Germs (especially Darby Crash/Bobby Pyn) because of their erratic, self-mutilating, destructive, and heroin-induced behaviors. That’s why GI is called GI; to mask the fact that they were really The Germs. Darby Crash was out of his mind and constantly high. The original “Shut Down/Annihilation Man” is almost 10 minutes long and he was still rambling when Joan finally shut it down. A year later, Darby shut himself down permanently with an OD of heroin.
