Time Traveling Stalin Killed Trayvon Martin!
The post title is a bonus alternate shorter. I’m not kidding.
Jack Cashill, American No You’re the Racists:
Editgate, Spittlegate, and the Left’s “Race-Gating” Tradition
Hey, remember Jack Cashill? Well, it seems ol’ Jack has realized that he can’t just rant about Time-Traveling Bill Ayers every single week at his new gig at Our Favorite Material Generator.
Luckily for him, generating racist conspiracy theories that explain why inconvenient reality should be ignored is a skillset that can be applied to a number of events.
And Bob help us all, he’s decided to apply said skills to the Trayvon Martin case… I think I need to ready a cyanide capsule for this one.
Roll the shorter:
- It’s really mean of liberal racists to beat up on poor Mr. Zimmerman simply because of a word he may or may not have said on his 911 call. It’s not like anything else happened. Oh also, Waco.
Honestly, I’m surprised it’s taken him this long to jump in. I mean, when you’ve spent the last 4 years trying to explain why Time Traveling Bill Ayers erases Birth Certificates, school records, childhood friends, the State of Hawaii, birth anouncements, and an semblance of common sense, why not try tackling the shooting of a teenager in cold blood?
Besides, the “plight” of George Zimmerman seems to hit a little to closely to home for the deluded racist prone to acts of fantasy.
But we’ll let him get into that.
The phrase “Editgate” established itself virtually overnight. It fit so well.
You don’t say?
Well, why don’t we see for ourselves? Google seems to say it’s mostly been the rejects trying to keep Breitbart’s empire floating (and yeah, the irony of anyone even remotely connected to Breitbart trying to accuse someone else of malicious editing has not been lost on me) plus you and a handful of other Lifers in the Birther Parade.
Truly, it is the Law of the Land from Sea to Shining Sea!
This useful compound merges “edit,” in reference to NBC’s incendiary editing of George Zimmerman’s 911 call, and “gate,” the catch-all suffix used to describe a corrupt mess of deception and obfuscation.
…
Um, -gate isn’t a suffix denoting scandal. It was the name of the fucking hotel (The Watergate) where Nixon sent a bunch of Secret Agent wannabes to try and break in. It’s only even remotely connected to scandal because said morons got caught and the resulting investigation kinda sorta discovered the Dirty Trick that finally was able to take that bastard down.
And yes, the Right thwacking -Gate on the end of all their Not-a-Scandals and wild conspiracy theories totally disguises that all these half-hearted witch hunts aren’t just poorly thought out “revenges” for Ol’ Nixy finally getting caught.
And the fact that the media hasn’t laughed every one of them out of the building, but has instead been all-too-eager to have their own -Gate is probably one of the strongest evidences that the “liberal media” shit is complete and utter bullshit.
Also, apropos of nothing, but the actual Watergate investigation saw amazingly comprehensive tracking of the money trail and multiple leads in one of the greatest examples of investigative journalism in history, whereas all the Right seems to do is whine about the kerning until the media throws them a bone to shut them up.
Just saying.
Already “Editgate” is being used more expansively to include other distortions in the Trayvon Martin case, including ABC’s compression of the police videotape to obscure Zimmerman’s head wound and CNN’s absurdly imaginative translation of the Zimmerman word “cold” into the nearly archaic “coons.”
Ah, there’s that old Cashill magic! Verifiable evidence everyone has access to proves how full of shit the conservative case is? Proof of a dastardly conspiracy to obscure the truth from every known record.
Obviously on the Long-form Videotape, Zimmerman’s head gushed like a cartoon geyser over his many Skittles-related injuries. Unfortunately Time Traveling Bill Ayers was able to erase those tapes and replace them with reruns of Hogan Heroes!
Together, these three deceptions — and there will be more — have established Editgate as the most consequential high-level fraud in the left’s long history of what might be called “race-gating.” By this, I mean the purposeful media corruption of a racially oriented story.
Sure, he believes that the media fabricates every instance of racism in order to make White Americans look bad, but that doesn’t mean he’s racist.
I mean, do we really know that a Time-Traveling Brian Williams wasn’t the real shooter of Martin Luther King Jr? Check the Kerning! Al Sharpton is behind 9-11!
The media’s willingness to lie for the cause should shock no one to the right of Bill Ayers. What is particularly troubling about Editgate is that the major media, which once served as a firewall against fraud, now seem eager accomplices in its commission.
In the “original” post cited by Msr. Cashill, pretty much every single media outfit was organized into a cabal to edit the 911 call to make Zimmerman, a man so not racist he used pictures of his supporters defacing a Black Cultural Center on his website, look like a feeble-minded racist.
And apparently this one 911 call is the only reason that anyone would have to take issue with Zimmerman’s actions. This is like trying to prove the Hindenberg crash never happened because you believe one of the passengers had the wrong type of mud on their boots.
“Spittlegate” is a case in point. In March 2010, the media conspired with the Congressional Black Caucus to portray a group of well-behaved Tea Partiers protesting ObamaCare as a veritable lynch mob.
Apparently years spent trying to prove that Obama couldn’t be born in Hawaii because Bill Ayers’ mailman saw a black man in Chicago has made him believe this is how most evidence works.
I believe the sky is red on one specific appalling act of racism out of many from the painfully racist Tea Party, thus no racism ever and you’re the real poopy-heads.
Also, wasn’t that event, even if we were to erase the appalling treatment of a former Civil Rights Activist, slightly less than “well-behaved”? I suppose naturally, you’d argue that the Chicago Riots were a well-behaved and civil airing of grievances.
Oh wait, no, there’s something about the hue of that event, isn’t there?
To be sure, the alternative media deconstructed the incident to show that no one had used a racial slur as charged
Forgive me if I’m mistaken, but wasn’t the supposed “deconstruction” a random video edited down to about 10 seconds that didn’t happen to include the racial slur for that particular segment?
And yeah, believing a hero of the Civil Rights Era is inherently a liar on all matters of race when he had no need to lie is totally not racist in and of itself.
, let alone spit on a congressman. No matter. The mainstream media let the original story — “Tea Party Protestors Scream ‘Nigger’ at Congressman” — stand as reported.
The media stood by their story just because it happened to be true!
That’s totally unfair and against the clearly written law in the Constitution that goes “Conservatives win everything forever! Nyah Liberal Poopyheads!”
Oh sure, the media still ran endless hours of our meaningless and proof-bare whining so that “both sides could share their stories, but that doesn’t count because they didn’t personally beat Rep. John Lewis to death in contrition. So there!
As a result, the racial wound the media opened has continued to fester.
Oh yes, if it wasn’t for the media, blacks would never have figured out that the Tea Party was made entirely of Neo-confederates having a very public freak out at the very notion of a black president.
After all, there were nothing else to clue them in on that fact.
Also, is it just me, or has most of the Right shifted from whining about how liberals are the real racists because REASONS to whining that the fact that liberals caught them being naked racists is proof that liberals are the real racists because REASONS?
True to the “Gate” legacy, there has been little hint of apology in the “clarifications” the Editgate networks have offered. ABC, for instance, finally did produce an enhanced video to show Zimmerman’s two head wounds, but, incredibly, it headlined that story, “George Zimmerman Video Shows Little Evidence of a Broken Nose, Doctor Claims.”
Said video has no evidence of said head wounds, but damnitt, it’s True to Them! And that’s all that matters! Santa does exist! Market Forces too! And they’re going to bring them a pony! Two ponies and a rocket sled! And they won’t let you ride them! You’ll see! YOU’LL SEE!!!
After cleaning up the audio of the 911 call, CNN’s Gary Tuchman now only concedes, “It does sound less like that racial slur.” In fact, it sounds nothing like a racial slur, and it never did. One hears a long “o” sound as in “cold” — it was raining and 63 degrees — not an “oo” sound.
After all, when I am describing how cold I am, I always say Coonld.
And obligatory Simpsons reference.
Although the level of media complicity is unprecedented, the style of attack is nearly a century old. The left’s first major exploitation of a criminal case can be traced to about 1925, when the newly ascendant Josef Stalin directed his international propaganda arm, the Comintern, to discredit the idea of the American dream.
Makes sense to me. Please, go on.
The Comintern found its poster boys in convicted murderers Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, both foreign-born Italians. The two had been arrested for robbery and murder in 1920 and tried before the jurors even knew that they were radicals. As the appeals process dragged on, the Comintern directed its various front groups to fabricate new facts and create a worldwide myth around the pair’s presumed innocence. Almost immediately, “spontaneous” protests sprang up throughout Europe.
Wow, there really is zero racist event in American history that he hasn’t taken personally as a slight against white people, is there? I’m simultaneously appalled and curious to see his post on how we only believe slavery occurred because mean Northern blacks were trying to smear innocent Southern farmers.
So, yeah, Sacco and Vanzetti, the infamous case wherein two anarchists of the, at the time, hated Italian minority were rushed through a show trial with balls all in evidence beyond “they’re anarchists and guidos and therefore scary”. Not only is this apparently all orchestrated by Cyborg Stalin atop his Throne of Bone, but is a perfect metaphor for a white identified person not even going up for a trial for shooting a black teenager in cold blood.
And not in the sane obvious way you or I would make the parallel, but rather as evidence that Cyborg Stalin has time-jumped past his death to smear Zimmerman with commie media-controlling waves.
Rather than dictating media response, the Comintern preferred to create theater and allow the actors to find their way to the parts.
Yes, they exhibited the most scandalous method of direct control!
Complete absence of any.
I know!
No wonder Stalin’s robot army took over all Governments everywhere and destroyed the Free Market in the Wall Street Crash of 29!
The casting call for the Sacco and Vanzetti protests attracted a who’s-who of literary leading lights. Prominent American authors Upton Sinclair, Katherine Ann Porter, John Dos Passos, and Edna St. Vincent Millay not only protested the seeming injustice, but also created literary works around it.
And obviously anyone who sees, say, injustice and is appalled by it, couldn’t genuinely be appalled by injustice. After all, injustice is like a warm summer breeze letting the filthy others know their damn place, no one could take offense to it.
And thus, if they ever do take offense, they are merely under the influence of commie brainwashing rays.
It really is shocking how universal this is. Civil Rights Activists of the 1960s? Well duh on commie mind-control rays! Feminists of the 1970s? Another slam dunk for Team Commie! Northern Forces in the Civil War? Well, Lincoln sounds like Liberal which is just another word for Time-Traveling Commie mind-control! Founding Fathers rebelling against the good and proper British crown? COMMIES, COMMIES, COMMIES!
…
Wait-
Each of the progressive authors who wrote about the Sacco and Vanzetti case began his or her work with the a priori assumption that the pair was innocent and, as today, ignored all evidence that contradicted that thesis.
Well, besides the fact that there was painful little evidence they were actual you know, guilty, which the court of law is supposed to actually, you know, prove, there is the little problem that most of said authors mostly took issue with the unfairness of the trial itself.
You know, like how this case isn’t so much about whether Zimmerman goes home every night to masturbate into his KKK hood, but rather about how he didn’t even have to prove in a court of law how Skittles nearly killed him and made him fear for his life. And thus was allowed to go home free with no trial after fucking shooting a kid in cold blood as the kid’s death cries echoed over the 911 call, you fucking reprobate piles of shit.
As the August 1927 execution date approached, the Comintern whipped up rallies and riots. On the night of the execution, August 22, an outpouring of rage and grief swept the world and left common sense buried in its wake. The French Communist daily Humanité published an extra edition with one word on the front cover: Assassinés.
And so, as conservatives declare themselves on the side of injustice, inequality, and the deaths of anyone making less than a million a year and call anyone who disagree with them a filthy communist, they simultaneously wonder why people are starting to have a more and more favorable view of things like socialism.
I mean, seriously, if you weren’t still holding a torch for the days when we were having a bet with Russia on how many times over we could destroy the planet, would you interpret this as anything other than a damn fine endorsement of communist activists?
As the final hours ticked down, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Katherine Ann Porter stood vigil with other artists and writers in Boston. Ever the innocent liberal, Porter approached her group leader, a “fanatical little woman” and a dogmatic Communist, and expressed her hope that Sacco and Vanzetti could still be saved. The response of this female comrade is noteworthy for its candor:
“Saved,” she said, ringing a change on her favorite answer to political illiteracy, “who wants them saved? What earthly good would they do us alive?”
She then twirled her black mustache and tied a woman to some train tracks.
Also, as we’ll see in the next paragraph, this will be Cashill’s only proof that liberals don’t really care about minorities and only pretend to care about things like injustice and broken justice systems because they hope that conservatives will beat them and make martyrs of the minorities.
Now, first off, bullshit times a thousand, but second off…
Um, how is this supposed to work. Liberals take the side of hated minorities when no one else will, even trying to argue in the defense of people publicly called criminals even though they’ll be called all sorts of names over that. Argue for their cases, take the social stigma that comes with that…
All to make conservatives look bad. Even though the only way for conservatives to look bad would be to make martyrs of these people by rushing them through show trials and grave misuses of the justice system while reveling in their hatred for minorities and openly championing injustice.
I mean, is it still supposed to count as setting the other guy up if they needed to be a moralless fuck for the setup to work?
Sacco and Vanzetti were the first in a long line of ethnics whose exploitability interested the left more than their innocence. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Leonard Peltier, Geronimo Pratt, and Mumia Abu-Jamal, like Sacco and Vanzetti, were all convicted of their crimes, but the evidence mattered little to those who wanted to spank America before the world.
Ha! Bet you thought I was kidding when I said there is literally zero racist injustice Cashill hasn’t taken personally as a slight against white people.
But not at all racist, nosiree.
With the passing of the Comintern, America’s homegrown radicals picked up the playbook and directed their own game plans. Thinking anti-racism a more viable strategy than revolution, they expanded the definition of racism to include more behaviors against more groups, requiring more and more invasive remedies.
Yeah, they started recognizing racism against all sorts of groups. Guidos, spics, spades, micks, reds, chinks, japs! Even towelheads! It’s like they recognize other races as people or something!
Really is there any better proof that commie liberals are complete scum? Can I get an amen?
Among those remedies, as George Zimmerman has learned the hard way, is that old Stalinist standby, “ritual defamation.”
Yes, poor old George Zimmerman was doing absolutely nothing wrong, just minding his own business, when all of a sudden, the Liberal Racism’R’Us chain got bored and decided to harass this guy out of the blue and accuse him of all sorts of mean stuff.
Even calling him a racist, which everyone knows is 20 times worse than any bullshit oppression those damn untermenschen whine about!
I mean, people are acting like he shot someone or something!
Why can’t they just leave that poor man alone?!?
To be sure, there is a curious selectivity about who gets defamed. On March 15, 2012, just a few days before the story of Trayvon Martin’s killing in Florida became a national sensation, Jose Carranza, 32, was quietly sentenced to 155 years in prison for brutally executing three innocent black college students in a Newark, New Jersey playground.
And do you see any difference between the two cases that might explain why the response to that case is so much different than the Trayvon Martin case? Any difference at all?
I’ll give you a minute to think about, what might be different and thus getting people upset?
Really think about it. It’s a tricky question-
Like George Zimmerman, Carranza is of Peruvian descent. Ironically, what protected Carranza was the fact that he was “undocumented.” The headline “Illegal Alien Kills Black Innocents” appealed to no one in the Media-Democrat complex. In the leftist narrative, one that Stalin himself could have written, illegals are victims of America, not the villains.
…
…!
…Why not? Yup, people are just mad because Zimmerman wasn’t some eye-legal that the Right could cite as proof of how them darkies is always gunning down each other over drugs or some shit.
Definitely that and not…y’know…the fact that the undocumented immigrant was instantly put into the justice system and given a quick trial putting him in jail for longer than life while a “white-identified” kid of a conservative judge gets to walk free without so much as a never mind after shooting a kid in cold blood.
That said fucker isn’t even having to have a trial to demonstrate his BS rationalization for gunning down an unarmed kid in the middle of the sidewalk and in fact, the local police department and the entire right-wing media have been going out of their way to try and bully witnesses, bully the family and invent all sorts of BS reasons why one of the most nakedly obvious injustices in the last 5 years is totally the reverse of the well-documented reality.
Nope, must be our hatred of white folks, even though you keep trying to stress how non-white and non-conservative he is. Either that or Time-Traveling Stalin! Why not! It’s the only way those last 10 paragraphs made even the remotest amount of sense. Hey, why not make Bill Ayers the real killer! No, even better, Bill Ayers is the voodoo priest who oversaw the body-switching ceremony before Trayvon Martin stole Zimmerman’s body and shot him and is now running a smear campaign against Martin in Zimmerman’s body in order to make racists more than willing to jump on the side of injustice as long as a black person is getting screwed, look like bad people.
Maybe my tie is made of cheese? Why not?!? I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob-
(Please excuse this break from sanity. We’ve now given your writer a massive dose of horse tranquilizers to calm her down. We apologize for the inconvenience).
I feel cooooonld!
Twenty years prior, the decision-makers in that complex had even less use for a headline that read, “Clinton Tank Attack on Religious Community Kills 26 Blacks, 13 Other Minorities.”
I wasn’t aware that Clinton was a tank-driving Harlem serial killer.
Though I think I might have seen that movie. I think it was starring Dolemite.
So they fully suppressed the race angle. I doubt if even Al Sharpton knows that most of those killed at Waco were minorities.
Waco.
Waco.
Um… no.
The super-ultra-conservative Texan cult who thought the fucking coocoo-for-cocoa-puffs Branch Dividians were socialist sellouts was in no ways a minority hotbed. You’re thinking of Jonestown.
And not to press a point, but the Waco Clusterfuck had at least 76 victims.
And while we’re on the subject, might I just note that on the same post you are openly dismissing the outright murder of an unarmed teenage boy who, even if he had attacked, would have been well within his rights under the same “Stand Your Ground” law currently being used to try and sweep away his pre-meditated murder…
You are claiming as eternal martyr a group of fucking nutcase criminals who decided to open fire on federal officers and burn down their own facility killing themselves, children, and cult members who wanted out, because the leader didn’t want to be arrested for openly breaking the law by stockpiling illegal weaponry. I mean, sure, the ATF could have handled it better, but it’s not like they were personally responsible for anything other than trying to give a nutcase an opportunity to turn himself in peacefully and not being fast enough on the draw to rescue the nutcases from themselves.
I’m not sure this comparison does your side many favors. We champion the unchampioned, the screwed over and voiceless, you champion a cult run by a rapist who wanted to overthrow the government and shot and killed federal officers before killing women and children.
Just saying, Jackie.
In 2007, Syracuse University commemorated the eightieth anniversary of the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti as a way of highlighting, in its own words, “not only the creative response to the perceived injustice of the prosecution and sentence, but also the decades of continuing protest over what Katherine Anne Porter described as ‘the never-ending wrong.'”
Yeah! Fucking liberals remembering shit that happened in history as a reminder to be vigilant good citizens today!
What’s that shit about?
No matter what the evidence says about George Zimmerman
…
Um, like it matters. I mean, we have “evidence”. More evidence than is usually ever seen in a case. So much evidence that usually prosecutors would be gunning each other down to head this case because it’s a complete freebie.
But see, none of that matters, there won’t be a “the evidence says about George Zimmerman” because he went home without even a fucking case being filed against him.
And since you’ve spent over half the post writing about another miscarriage of the justice system, you can’t really claim ignorance of the parallels or why people might be the slightest bit upset that Zimmerman doesn’t have to defend his weak ass shit in fucking court.
in the minds of the faithful, his exoneration will remain a “never-ending wrong.” And this time, the “wronged” will not satisfy themselves with attending exhibits at Syracuse University.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Go fuck yourself!
Yes, us liberals aren’t just content to sit and mope about how the system is corrupt and are actually trying to fix and call attention to it.
Why can’t liberals just accept injustice as something to put in a museum while overpaid Klan members try and pretend injustice is just the figment of liberal’s imagination?
Yeah, sorry, to disappoint you fuckers, but people who care are going to speak out about it and not everyone is like the media who you can bully around with accusations of liberal bias.
If you were hoping we would just go away and let you win forever and shoot as many black kids as you want to justify your paranoid racist delusions, I gotta tell you Jackie boy:
Sadly, No!
As I shall be employed shortly, I shant ever have the opportunity to stumble upon a fresh thread again!
1st!
d’oh!
Aw, sorry bout that bbkf, but since you were so happy for Jeffraham yesterday, can ya spare a waawho for me anyway? Job starts next week. You’ll have other firsts.
kudos to cerbs for hitting on one of my major peeves: adding ‘gate’ to every *scandal*…i will continue reading now…
You’ll have other firsts.
You never forget your first first.
It’s such a trope now to add gate to everything (Antennagate, Heatgate for the iPhone and iPad respectively), I have to admit I hadn’t known it was a righty thing to do. It’s more of a mainstream meme now. Still annoying for sure.
Aw, sorry bout that bbkf, but since you were so happy for Jeffraham yesterday, can ya spare a waawho for me anyway? Job starts next week. You’ll have other firsts.
why yes, indeedy! i read your post too hastily and didn’t really register the job announcement…so calibre…that is the best tittyfucking news i’ve heard all day! and truly, it is 🙂
but…but…two sadlies getting hired in the same week?!?!? more proof that obama is _____________!!!
calibre, my kudos to anyone who manages to get and keep a job in today’s market. Well done, kiddo. Live long and prosper. Etc.
It was very skilful of the Comintern to get the judge of the S+V trial to say that he would “get them good and proper”
I’d like to invite our dear readers to guess who said this gem.
Well done calibre97! Old George Sorso is looking after the sadlies at last!!
George Sorso? Well in the anarcho/labourite/kenyan ursurper groups there is no higher comptroller.
into the nearly archaic “coons.”
he’s kidding with this one, right? i mean, he knows it’s still in vigorous use, right? he’s just trying to express his true poutrage…right?
Jobs is good. Hurrah, calibre!
Once again we get strawmen and misdirection from the wingnuts. This story is not a national news story because a white guy killed a black guy. This is a national news story that is sparking protests because it’s all about a city police force and a states attorneys office that apparently decided that the death of a black kid was not worth an investigation. Everybody knows (including the Jack Cashills of the world, though they’d never admit it to themselves or to others) that if the victim had been white, Zimmerman almost certainly have been arrested, charged and held while a thorough investigation was completed. If the shooter had been black and the victim white that would be an absolute certainty.
Leonard Peltier,
oh. he. did. not. just. go. there. did he?
…worthless fuck fucker fucking an abscessed fuck!
Note how the Gold Double-standard always applies. Highly ranked public officials and well-credentialed public service organizations can be taken down entirely by creative editing of recordings in order to completely inverts the content, and those committing the lies become paragons of rightwing journalism, nay even martyrs after mortally succumbing to the inevitable constant stress of maintaining the complex web of deception that their life has become.
But yet one “liberal bias mainstream” editor try something similar in kind but comparatively infinitesimal in degree and it becomes a scandal. It inspires weeks of blarghosphere screeds and screeching, all about the sheer hateful unfairness of the instance of minor editing, all employing the oh-so cliche suffix, all declaring it an offense only punishable by termination and blacklisting, and all decrying it proof of how there was no racism or hate crimes except those committed by the left.
And all of this screeching and fang-bearing and chest-pounding and shit throwing gets treated by the Village idiotboxs as serious testimony and pertinent evidence in counterbalance to the facts, merely because they don’t want any screeching or shit directed at them.
When is this fucking circus going to fucking end? What sort of catastrophe is it going to take before people wake the fuck up and treat these screeching monkeys like what they are: an ignorant, bigoted minority with voices far, far out of proportion than either their number or their veracity?
tl;dr: If you’re already covered in shit, no one can tell when any sticks. But if you’re clean, one little speck is a disgusting stain.
I had a joke all queued up for the last thread. I’ll give you a hint: it was about busting up chifferobes.
Why did this scuzzbag mention the MOVE assault in Philly? I mean a government official ordered the police to attack a religious group, just like Waco except the official in question was black. Right?
Wait what’s that? The victims were black too as were all the people who lost their homes?! Surely that doesn’t make a difference to Mr. Cashill.
Huzzah and felicitations, calibre !
Leonard Peltier,
oh. he. did. not. just. go. there. did he?
No shit. I was hoping Clinton would finally pardon him but the fucking FBI will never let him out – they need someone to blame and he was AIM.
A political prisoner of the United States government.
No shit. I was hoping Clinton would finally pardon him but the fucking FBI will never let him out – they need someone to blame and he was AIM.
i was too…just another reason i despise clinton…
Everybody knows (including the Jack Cashills of the world, though they’d never admit it to themselves or to others) that if the victim had been white, Zimmerman almost certainly have been
arrested, charged and held while a thorough investigation was completed.shot 47 times while “resisting arrest”.Fixed for accuracy.

i dare you to post this in the comments section over there…once again, i made the mistake of reading them and was sucked in by all their paranoid, racist, indignant, sanctimonious venom…
we need to come up with two words: one to denote the above described comments and then one to denote the immense chagrin and regret hangover one has immediately upon reading them…
My favorite comment from over there so far:
So THAT’S why Cubans vote Republican.
Well, it seems ol’ Jack has realized that he can’t just rant about Time-Traveling Bill Ayers every single week at his new gig at Our Favorite Material Generator.
The hell he can’t! How many “American Thinker” authors trot out the same old tired narrative, with a few words changed to maintain an illusion of freshness?
My favorite comment from over there so far:
yeah, that is a pretty good one…he just throws down on the mexican/indians don’t he?
this one has some lulz:
but i think this is my fave:
another reason i despise clinton
The Cadre formed two years into Clinton’s first term.
Wow. Just wow. Finest rant ever, Cerb, you……..(I was gonna say “you magnificent bastard” but since from this post it appears you could be a girl, I’ll make that “magnificent biatch”. Meh. WEV. Either way, magnificent.
Save some of those horse tranqs for me. I think we’re going to need them and the cyanide more and more as these nutters get more bugfuck crazy.
Fixxored.
Jack, as always, you are fearless when it comes to the wrath of the braying, leftist mobs.
The fanboy love of the readership at American Thinker, PJMedia, RedStates and all the rest, and their need to hand out medal after medal to their writers (for their fearlessness, their balls, their sheer strength of character), is one of the more amusing and pathetic parts of the right wing blogosphere.
What the hell do they imagine these guys are risking? They get paid by people who agree with them to write things for the benefit of other people who agree with them – it may be the single easiest and most risk-free job on the face of the Earth. It’s not like they’re storming beaches in Normandy or standing up to tanks in Tienanmen. They’re not risking death by IED or getting run over by a tank. They’re not risking their reputations. They’re definitely not risking their jobs. They’re not even risking a couple of bruises at the hands of cops or rival demonstrators – that shit happens in the streets, well away from the air-conditioned apartments where their “work” takes place.
This is what passes for “fearlessness” in their little world.
Like George Zimmerman, Carranza is of Peruvian descent. Ironically, what protected Carranza was the fact that he was “undocumented.” The headline “Illegal Alien Kills Black Innocents” appealed to no one in the Media-Democrat complex.
Protected from what? D00d was sentenced, and will never leave prison alive. The reason it didn’t make current headlines is because the murder took place in 2007, which is practically ancient history in our media culture.
rosebuddear: bbfk has had some sad news: Her cousin’s husband committed suicide; she is going to the funeral. From you own experience with your sweetie’s death, you might be able to give her some suggestions on how to she might help her cousin through this awful pain.
Don’t mean to be a downer, peeples. bbfk is very much in my mind.
(We return you now to your regularly scheduled Sadly No snarkfest.)
bughunter & Chris: Excellent commentary.
Fenwick: omfg I wish I had some suggestions, for me it has been being able to talk through the pain with with good friends. Some friends I didn’t even know I had until Patrick’s death. That have been very comforting to me. Oh honey, bbkf, I know just what it means. I’m so so so sorry.
I normally don’t put my personal stuff out on the Intertubes, but I will post my email address in here if you want to talk, bbkf.
And you will want to talk. I still bore everybody to death with my stories of Patrick. Some people will be patient with that and some will get not-so-patient and tell you to “suck it up and get over it”. Ignore them. And make fun of them, if you can. They don’t know what the hell they are talking about, and deserve scourging.
Big hugs, bbkf. And thanks, Fenwick, for the heads up, and for remembering who I am, about me and Patrick, I mean. That was awesome.

to read no holds barred journalism. As such, you deserve to take a bow.
Journalism?
JOURNALISM?!
There is someone (or several someones) who looks at this rambling, logic- and reality-free, hallucinatory, racist-humping masturbatory rant with the intellectual weight of a helium-filled balloon and thinks this is within the same goddamn solar system as journalism?!
This disgustingly filth-encrusted pile of ginned-up, misdirected hatred for those disgusting “others” who have some sort of soul or humanity left in them and dare to feel things for other people or have a sense of injustice wouldn’t even make it onto the opinion pages of the sleaziest rags, the only reason this rancid, humanity-corroding bile even exists is because of the internet where you can put whatever the hell you want on it. And some people are so unabashedly broken and mangled inside that they can call this journalism with a straight face, without instantly being disintegrated from the inside by raw, vaporizing self-loathing?
I am disappoint. I am so fucking disappoint.

There are substances, that in tiny quantities (millionths of a gram), can cause illness, cancer, strokes, nerve damage (e.g., Rush’s hearing loss), mental confusion (e.g., Rick Perry’s sudden dementia), bizarre behavior, etc.
There are THOUSANDS of such substances. Even a top quality autopsy may not discover them. Just looking at natural plant alkaloids, there are many thousands of substances that cause a variety of harmful effects. Think of how easily medical researchers create a particular cancer in lab animals.
This is 21st Century assassination. It is done quietly by highly paid professionals. The democrat party has plenty of contacts with organized crime figures and foreign intel services.
Every conservative leader needs to be extremely conscious of this threat. Poisons can be delivered by food, drink, inhalation, or skin contact. For example, an assassin could put a tiny amount of poison on something that the target will touch. It could be delivered by a handshake at a rally!

This useful compound merges “edit,” in reference to NBC’s incendiary editing of George Zimmerman’s 911 call, and “gate,” the catch-all suffix used to describe a corrupt mess of deception and obfuscation.
Ooh, it’s practically the old “the dictionary defines” gambit, the mark of a truly great writer.
Together, these three deceptions — and there will be more — have established Editgate as the most consequential high-level fraud in the left’s long history of what might be called “race-gating.”
Dream big, crazy man.
the major media, which once served as a firewall against fraud, now seem eager accomplices in its commission.
Oh for the days when Puritan typesetters carved words out of bark to print the REALLY REAL TRUTH about witches.
And Sacco and Vanzetti, JESUS. Honest historians admit we STILL DON’T KNOW for certain whether or not they were guilty, but the fact that somebody else confessed makes it look doubtful. And even the government’s recent release of classified evidence made Ethel Rosenberg look like an innocent woman punished for the sins of her husband. Geronimo Pratt’s conviction was vacated when it came out the prosecution had concealed evidence and he received millions of dollars to settle a false imprisonment suit. So yeah, there is certainly SOMEONE who doesn’t give a shit about evidence.
Ironically, what protected Carranza
WAS BEING TRIED AND SENT TO PRISON. Thanks for joining the cause to have Zimmerman tried! WHICH IS ALL ANYONE WANTS FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

Yes indeed, especially military history. It has been a central thread in my life, actually.
In the last decade, I’ve also become keenly interested in geology. (My brother is a chem-geo professor at U of Oregon, specializing in volcanic processes. His main field research venue is Iceland.) I’ve always been interested in surface topography. Now I’ve added tectonics, vulcanism, and most especially hot spots: The Yellowstone Caldera and the Empress-Hawaiian chain.

Abundant evidence of this tactic and its pitfalls are shown in Kevin Smith’s dire warning to real America, “Mallrats”.
Of course, there is another possible visual interpretation of the phrase…..
Sadly, Thom Kinkade died before his “Sweet Tittyfucking Jesus” painting was released.
I suppose if Zimmerman said “it’s fucking cold,” that changes everything. NOW analysis of the recording can stop, having achieved optimum truthiness.
He’s just said “These assholes. They always get away,” meaning that Zimmerman never gets to “stand his ground.” Something he’d never want or cause to happen, but that almost happened alot (“always”), until it did happen. Coincidentally.
I am oddly reminded of a classic op-ed in The Onion: Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?

When we think of Jesus coming back, we’re generally preoccupied with big-picture stuff, like Armageddon. But who can doubt he’d get all sorts of attention from the ladies?

Just had to share some works of a Punk poet from the UK.
Let the record show that I had the pleasure of seeing Attila the Stokebroker performing at the Reading festival in 88 or 89. He was suffering from hayfever something chronic, but recommended huge quantities of cider as a sovereign cure for the condition.
He also demonstrated to the receptive crowd that “Ace of Spades”, what with being an statement of Existentialist philosophy, sounds better when sung in a French accent.

Aren’t these the same diseasedmutherfuckers who are always crying about how unfair hate crime laws are, because “we already gots laws against beatin’s and killin’s” and “you cain’t be arrestin’ folks ’cause of what they’re thinkin’–only what they done” or some shit like that?
Suddenly, the fact that a large man lie in wait, stalked, confronted, and then murdered an unarmed, lone, teenager who was minding his own business and committing no crime is irrelevant to whether the perp may or may not have called the victim a “coon” before he blew him away?
By the way, I simply adore the racist argument that if you are “really scared” by someone of color it isn’t racist to kill them. Let’s apply that to other situations: “I am really scared by those capitalist Americans, so I will fly a plane or two into their major cities and kill thousands.” or “These Jews make me nervous; let’s start a genocidal program to systematically murder millions of them so we can sleep at night.”
This sure makes things easier for police. Just ask every perp if they are racist before you make an arrest.
Hey congrats calibre. Wishing you teh tittyfucking best in your new position.
Heh: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002543259
Sweet IPU. Does d00d have no concept of due process and fair trials? Teh outrage over Zimmerman is related to teh fact that Sanford PD conducted almost no investigation whatsoever. That the limited look-see they did take had the chief investigator recommending charges and arrest – which was overturned by teh higher ups. Zimmerman stalked, chased and shot an unarmed teenager – and he was released after something like four hours. Concealed carry permit intact.
Sacco and Vanzetti does have some relevance here.
I don’t care how guilty Cashill thinks the Italian Anarchists were – this is clearly a failing of the justice system. I can’t imagine how anyone would think otherwise. Unless their hatred of Italians or Anarchists is so great that it completely overwhelms the idea that the courts are supposed to be fair.
The fact that Trayvon was a completely innocent teenager with nothing in his past that can even suggest a tendency towards violence isn’t relevant. Well, I suppose it highlights how absurdly ridiculous Cashill is and how far he has to twist reality to fit his delusional and racist worldviews. But even if Travon were the scary no-good hoodlum crack-dealing thug that Cashill wants him to be, it don’t matter. Zimmerman stalked Trayvon, following him from inside his truck. then he left his vehicle despite instructions from 911 not to. He chased Trayvon – a minimum of a hundred feet. And then he claims self-defense. w.t.f.
Regardless, it comes down to bullshit stupid fucked up garbage – like 1920’s era Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court procedures preventing them from ordering new cases even when there was a reasonable liklihood that not doing so would result in a travesty of justice. And like Florida’s “Shoot First And You Won’t Have To Ask Questions Later” law which lets murderers walk free without even being arrested if they claim self-defense. And apparently regardless of how unbelievable the claim is.
The Law is supposed to be fair*. The prohibition against killing others – murder, manslaughter, whatever – it applies whether or not Cashill thinks the person getting killed was the right sort of people or not (and holy fucking shit, fuck him if he thinks Trayvon “deserved” this in any way whatsoever).
That this farcical claim of self-defense is being considered as anything other than the sick joke it is – that’s what the travesty is about. The issue is that Zimmerman could claim such nonsense – and that his clearly unbelievable self-defense claim immunizes him from criminal proceedings because Floridian Republicans cling to their guns so much. All this talk about letting the facts come out and investigating and such – THAT’S WHAT WE’RE ASKING FOR! FFS, if it weren’t for the “manufactured outrage” this would be all over – and Zimmerman would be back to patrolling his gated community, on the lookout for more hoodie-wearing teenagers to hunt.
* Yeah, I guess I’m still a bit of an idealist. At least the Law is upposed to pretend to be fair.
The Law is supposed to be fair

“after fucking shooting a kid in cold blood”
Not in cold blood; at the time Zimmerman shot Martin, Zimmerman was engaged in a physical altercation with Martin.
Sorry for interrupting with a factual correction. We now return to our regular programming.
mine is 37°C which is not very cold, I’m told.
a factual correction
You know something that no one else does? Zimmerman claims there was an altercation, but he’s got a good reason to say so whether or not there was.
STOP JUDGING ME!!! THAT’S FOR ME AND JESUS FUCKING CHRIST TO DO!!!
Wingnut world, where assumptions are actually facts if you believe them!
Don’t act like you don’t like being judged.
You know something that no one else does? Zimmerman claims there was an altercation, but he’s got a good reason to say so whether or not there was.
indeed, i wasn’t aware that martin being the agressor in any altercation has been substantiated…
Don’t act like you don’t like being judged.
and just what are you wearing under that robe, your honor?
Oh come now. You can’t REALLY think that shooting an unarmed teenager would be a good motivation to make up a story. I mean shit, that would be dishonest.
and just what are you wearing under that robe, your honor?
Step in my chambers and I’ll show you…
In Troll-quist’s defense, there is an anonymous eyewitness account of a struggle. That’s pretty definitive. Plus, without the autopsy report being released, the funeral director’s observation that Trayvon’s body showed no signs of struggle carries no weight at all.
And also, just because you stalk a guy from your truck and then engage in a foot-chase before shooting him in the chest – that could totally have been done in the heat of the moment.
there is an anonymous eyewitness account of a struggle.
But that could be anything. Without reports on Zimmerman’s supposed injuries (broken or bloody nose, injury to the back of the head) and the Martin autopsy, I’m doubtful of there having been a real fight.
Also, the police station video of Zimmerman didn’t show a guy who looked like he’d had a fight, let alone lost one.
Anonymous eyewitness account! I can’t believe you’d doubt the unassailability of anonymous eyewitness accounts. What could possibly have more weight than that?
Anyways, struggle or not here’s the important question – is there probable cause to believe that Zimmerman did not shoot in self-defense? I mean considering the whole stalking and chasing thing. And the much smaller unarmed victim.
Note – the important question is not whether or not Zimmerman actually acted in self-defense (although that’s also a pretty easy question to answer) – but whether or not there is probable cause to believe that he might not have.
Another one bites the dust at NRO. This time they’re allowing comments. Go wallow, if you have the time and temperament. Pretty funny.
anonymous eyewitness accounts. What could possibly have more weight than that?

i know! it’s these whackadoodles who make me question my perception of reality…and history. you know how they are always making comparisons to nazi germany and ‘oh, no! this is exactly what hitler did!’? yeah, i’m beginning to feel like i can totally relate to the non-nazis who were NOT down with what hitler was doing…and the wingnuts are the ones spouting the crazy rhetoric…after all, they are the minority who keeps talking about taking over the country and returning it to what they perceive as a perfect time and a perfect nation…
Because the writings of people when racial issues were being discussed early in American history is the same as the writings of people after those debates were had, a war was fought, and laws protecting racial minorities were passed.

So, yeah, Sacco and Vanzetti, the infamous case wherein two anarchists of the, at the time, hated Italian minority were rushed through a show trial with balls all in evidence beyond “they’re anarchists and guidos and therefore scary”. Not only is this apparently all orchestrated by Cyborg Stalin atop his Throne of Bone, but is a perfect metaphor for a white identified person not even going up for a trial for shooting a black teenager in cold blood.
Sacco and Vanzetti. I mean, wow. Just, wow. Yeah, one of them had radical views, although the crime was probably committed by some other guy (all Italians look the same), while the other one didn’t even know the other guy, didn’t speak English, and got railroaded in a botched and biased trial.
I guess Stalin also orchestrated the “spontaneous” protests by citizens in Massachusetts over the last capital case in the Commonwealth. (He also organized the Dred Scott riots in Boston. Stalin really gets around.)
Hey ! Back away from my man Will Shakespeare, you fking bigot. He showed, in Othello, that he considered scheming racists the real bad guys. It was their damn conspiracies that doomed the big hero who was, you know, black.
Merchant of Venice may sound anti-Semitic to our sensitive 21st century ears but, for its time, it was pretty damn sympathetic to Shylock the Jew.
That there are still people who can read rags like yours and others of its ilk can hardly be blamed on Literature Thru The Ages. Other than sheer tittyfucking stupidity and paranoia, I have no explanation for the phenomenon.

Dr. Robert Spitzer Renounces Infamous ‘Ex-Gay’ Study
What took him so fucking long?
I am so angry and affronted NOW that I want him OUT in the most embarrassing and telling avalanche of American Conservatism in the US history of Presidential elections.
And come November 7, this poor soul will swallow the largest, bitterest load of bile in recorded history.
I am so angry and affronted NOW that I want him OUT in the most embarrassing and telling avalanche of American Conservatism in the US history of Presidential elections.
And I want a date with Shania Twain.
Not in cold blood; at the time Zimmerman shot Martin, Zimmerman was engaged in a physical altercation with Martin.
Sure. After was specifically told by the cops not to stalk Trayvon, he stalked him, and called him a coon.
Cold fucking blood, trollboy. Cold fucking blood. Hope you liked your stack-o-facts. Did you want some bile to wash it down?
According to Zimmerman’s former lawyers, he tried contacting the Special Prosecutor on his own. Apparently the Special Prosecutor’s office rebuffed him and did not want to speak with him without his lawyers present. But with the lawyers out of the picture,,,
Plea bargain? I’m thinking negligent homicide or some other low-culpability manslaughter charge and minimal or no jail time?
I’m thinking negligent homicide or some other low-culpability manslaughter charge and minimal or no jail time?
A lawyer would try to get him aggravated assault, I’d wager. Might not get it, but it would lower the bar substantially.
Maybe Papa Magistrate Zimmerman reassessed the situation and resigned himself to the fact that there were no strings left to pull to save his boy. This might also explain why the Grand Jury was dismissed.
Should I be happy or sad that the four GØP candidates who said God told them to run are all out now?
Man, do NOT bet on tips from God; his odds are worse than the lottery’s, even he is more likely to be struck by lightning than to win.
Special Prosecutor Angela Corey is a Republican. I don’t know what her position on “Stand Your Ground” is – as a prosecutor, you’d assume she’d be against but as a Repub she’d probably be for it. Add in that there’s probably a lotta other Stand Your Ground supporters and NRA donation recipients that have a vested interest in this one case not being the one where Stand Your Ground is tested in court.
It smells like a plea bargain.
What I don’t understand is why she’s so dead set against a grand jury. Isn’t the purpose of a grand jury to investigate?

some say the evidence is so cut and dried either way that she feels a grand jury would be a waste of time…others say that since she’s an elected official, she is taking on the duty of making the ‘tough call’ of whether to prosecute or not on her own as a way to court voters…
Time for yet another thrilling episode of Dipshit-Gate: Teh Double-Dippening!
Let’s be fair: Time-Travelling Stalin killing Trayvon is EXACTLY as credible as Bill Ayers ghost-writing Obama’s books – so there’s no doubt Jack “Definitely Not Going Broke Underestimating The Stupidity Of My Fellow Americans” Cashill is exhibiting rock-solid consistency.
To be exact, the consistency of babyshit.
Also, SWEET TITTYFUCKING WOW. A Sacco-&-Vanzetti analogy, for THIS case? Guess I somehow missed the arrest … or the trial … or the confession to the killing from someone else … or the admission from insiders that a retrial would probably change the verdict. You gotta huff a lot of lead-based paint-chips for that comparison to even begin to parse.
Wacko Jacko must bust about three wheelbarrows a week hauling those titanic balls around.
The thing is that these shitbags got the law made so that they could get away with this sort of crap. Sweeping inconvenient shootings under the carpet without having to have those pesky investigations and shit.
Isn’t the purpose of a grand jury to investigate?
Yup. But a grand jury can go beyond the Zimmerman-Martin case (at least as I understand GJ proceedings). That could lead to nasty places. Like the Sanford PD, prosecutor’s office, tampering by Zimmerman’s ex-judge father. Wouldn’t that be a bag of tits?

and also makes is so much easier for them to yell, ‘but blacks kill blacks and nobody cares about that!!!’ and other racist nonsense…
This case is as good a litmus test for racism as could be devised. Who would bet on Zimmerman’s character and truthfulness? No amount of blather about the media and liberal perfidy is gonna change Zimmerman himself. He’s gonna keep demonstrating that he’s awful, delusional, and stupid. Using this case as a focal point for furtherance of conservative causes or media “analysis” is a terrible idea; ideally, you’d want the story to go unreported or unexamined. You might say, this is not what we’re about, etc. Unless you’re a full-stop racist.
but…but…two sadlies getting hired in the same week?!?!? more proof that obama is _____________!!!

Jeez guys, take it easy, I’m getting sore over here.

Dammit, now look what happened.
What I don’t understand is why she’s so dead set against a grand jury. Isn’t the purpose of a grand jury to investigate?
The Grand Jury is only for 1st-degree murder cases. Which there’s no way.
Also it would slow up the proceedings immensely. And also too, you can never tell what a bunch of Florida yahoos is gonna come up with.

Cashill has already published the paragraphs about Sacco-&-Vanzetti + K.A.Porter in a couple of books and articles… and he believes in
self-citationrecyclingself-plagiarism… so those are the paragraphs he’s going to use, however irrelevant they may be in this context.To put it another way, all Cashill’s articles are ghost-written by an earlier Jack Cashill.

Geez, I knew the wingnuts’ brains had been sucked into Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine™, but I thought it was some imaginary version of the ’50s they were living in. Sacco and Vanzetti? Seriously? Didn’t anybody see The Male Animal? The people getting their panties in a twist about Sacco and Vanzetti were figures of fun 70 (titty)fucking years ago!
No no no, Very reverend, there is a direct causal line between Sacco and Vanzetti that runs through the very marrow of something or other. And makes history repeat itself again and it’s alllllll liberal’s fault.
Geez, I knew the wingnuts’ brains had been sucked into Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine™, but I thought it was some imaginary version of the ’50s they were living in
That’s what I thought, based on Allen West’s “I know of 80 Democrats in the House of Representatives who are card carrying communists!”
So what kind of shitfits are being thrown now that Zimmerman’s in custody on 2nd-degree murder charges? (Mind you, what we really need is a deep investigation into the Sanford police dept. but that probably isn’t going to happen.)

You know what I don’t like? City-dwellers owning Stoopid Big Trucks and Egomanic SUVs. I’ve got no problem with trucks owned by people who genuinely need them for their work. Or for hauling boats or motorcyles. Also perfectly fine in places with lower traffic densities and wider streets….towns, rural communities, farms.
No, I’m talking about Stoopid Big Trucks and SUV’s that seat four and are all tricked out with every luxury option and accessory available. Forget the gas-guzzler stuff for a moment. The sheer size of these Ego Trip Machines makes CITY parking and CITY driving a royal pain in the ass.
In the Baltimore neighborhood I live in–Highlandtown, Hon!–the rowhouses are 12 feet wide and curb space is very limited. (Not only do the Big Stoopid Trucks and SUVs eat up space, but the assholes who drive them deliberately park them to eat up even MORE space than the vehicle needs.) One the streets and in parking lots, these Ego Trip Machines block the view of people driving normal cars.
The final irony is that these Manly Men drive like absolute wussies. With all their Semi-Hemi-Omigosh horsepower, and spayshul off-roads suspensions and 4 WD and other useless shit, the tippy-toe oh-so-gently over railroad tracks and poorly-patched pavement.
The macho, outdoors, bold names of Stoopid Big Trucks and SUVs provide a perfect signature for assholes who drive these Ego Monsters around in cities.
So that’s what I don’t like. End of rant.

Oh I went there
Fenwick – I call those “pussy trucks” – in fact that’s what I’ve been calling all SUVs since, forever, because they are marketed as rough tough macho mobiles but…get into a 5 mph fender-bender in a parking lot and you’re looking at $4 K in repairs.
I’m still in awe of whatever marketing genius figured out that you could take a station wagon, plop it on a truck chassis, and market it as the “in” vehicle. I’ve always hated those fucking things.
Major Kong, that’s a sweeeeet ride. I’ve always had a yen for an early sixties Lincoln convertible with suicide doors, but I figure they probably get about 10 mpg and with gas being $4 and going nowhere but up, it will remain an unrealized dream.

I don’t put historic plates on it, because that only allows you to drive it to car shows or in parades.
I keep it garaged. I used to keep it in a storage unit, but decided that paying $100/month to store a $4500 car wasn’t very smart.
How many miles?
It has 60k. I bought it ten years ago with 48k miles. It was owned by a 76-year-old man in Pennsylvania. I don’t know how many previous owners. The seller had maintenance records going back to 1970.

The best annual security training I ever received was when I worked for a DOD research facility (before 1995). He showed us pics of the moving roof features of the USSR embassy roof, how the Russians would hang out at the local watering hole, and a great story about a trip to Moscow. His story was that we has hanging out in a bar in Moscow hotel. An attractive woman approaches him offering him a good time which he declines. A few minutes later an attractive man shows up offering the same thing.

lately around here i’ve noticed that it is obviously mandatory for farmers to have a brand new f-150…
I can remember when trucks were utilitarian vehicles driven mainly by farmers, hunters and contractors.
We actually have that rarest of all cars in the US – a station wagon (Audi). Holds almost as much as an SUV but drives like a car and gets decent gas mileage.

I gotta weigh in on SUVs. I hate hate HATE those fucking things. I hate them with the intensity of a hundred white-hot suns. They guzzle gas, hog the road, completely blind normal drivers and make parking a nightmare. Plus at least half are driven by assholes who have no idea how to drive or park, and figure that if they crowd you out of a driveway or take up two parking spaces, it’s YOUR problem. Skullfuck whoever exempted them from fuel economy standards.
It would be worth it to watch the two Russian agents play it off.

acrannymint: That was wunnerful! I live on a main-line bus route, so the snowplows run early and often. They throw up a massive amount of snow on the street-side of the car. If you don’t clear it pretty quick, the day-melt + night-freeze soon turns it into an ice wall. In Highlandtown, everyone pretty much knows that If you CLEAR the parking space you OWN it. As a reminder (mainly for new residents), we put out simple objects to ‘hold’ the space. (e.g. cheapie plastic chair, upside-down garbage can). In 20+ years, I’ve never had ABIB’s problem with a stolen space.

Dunno how it is now, but in Chicago in the ’70s this “rule” was still not firmly established. As a result there would be at least a couple of shootings every winter over it(Chicago gets LOTSA snow, or did anyway).

On clearances (from Wiki).
My clearance was TS/SI…signifying access to Special Intelligence. (It was so long ago that maybe the category has been merged in SCI.) I worked in a ‘code name’ environment; the codewords were themselves classified. So each document had to have a cover page marked either ‘Top Secret’ or ‘Secret’ with a separate marking saying ‘Appended documents contain Special Intelligence’…to protect the codewords as well as the actual contents. (There were different codewords for Top Secret and Secret.)
We also had other dissemination restrictions, e.g. NOFORN meant we couldn’t give it to any foriegn national; CANUKUS, meant the Brits and Canuckistanis could have it. Also restrictions on distribution to ‘contract personnel’ (e.g. civilian consultants). I had a stamp carousel on my desk with maybe 10 security-marking hand-stamps. Because I was generating material, I had to pay careful attention to dissemination restrictions, which were based on the intelligence source(s).
TMI? Just thought I’d add another oddball Fenwickian comment into the mix….
Well they damn near blew it but the Twins actually won!
Yay! Now there are no more 2012 threats to the Woes legendary 0-21 start! Baltimore OWNS that record, bitchez!

Now that Zimmerman is being charged with second degree murder, the wingnut welfare queens can really turn it up to 11. (Peak Wingnut can never be achieved, because it is always being achieved.

Back In The Day when civilians were first getting hummers made of metal*, my friend and I were enjoying a rare day of sunny Spring weather at the Bellevue Galleria, a mall with outdoor seating in the center of the largest suburb of Seattle. She was, at the time, the head of the language department at a local high school. Upon seeing one of those monstrosities roll by us, she pointed and started giggling like one of her students might, exclaiming “teenie weenie” the entire time.
Being myself a man of the dullest heterosexual variety, I noted that jibe was common, but asked her if it was true. “It’s *always* true,” she gasped through giggles, “and car dealers should be required to tell their male customers what buying one of those things really says!”

The Honda Element is considered a SUV, but it does make a good postal delivery vehicle even in a mostly-urban area (it will, obviously, hold lots of mail and even quite large packages, and putting the gearshift up on the dash lets you lean out the right window to deliver at curbside mailboxes more easily).
And my goodness, is it nice when you need to move.
The Honda Element is considered a SUV
It can’t be a true SUV because of massive name-fail. ‘Element’ sounds all science-y and stuff. To be a real Manly Man vehicle it needs to have a name like Denali, Yukon, Pathfinder, Bronco, etc. Also no rams-head hood ornament.
there was an ad for a big 4WD here in Oz once that specifically showed mum taking the kids to school and how she didn’t have to slow down for speed humps – that was one of the selling points!
. A few minutes later an attractive man shows up offering the same thing.
And after him, a guy with a donkey?
Hello magpie, fellow antipodean. A Collingwood supporter??
I suppose the Element’s also on the small side to be the kind of failmobile you guys are discussing. I must say I rather like ours, though.
If the shooter had been black and the victim white that would be an absolute certainty.
Ummm, yeah. It kind of floored me that the special prosecutor charged 2nd degree and not 1st degree. Taking a gun to a confrontation makes it 1st degree… if you’re black and your victim is white. I guess.

Hello Another Kiwi! Not even Victorian. I just squawk a lot 🙂
I suppose the Element’s also on the small side to be the kind of failmobile you guys are discussing.
The Element is what’s called a “Crossover”. It’s built on a car chassis and mechanically is closer to a Honda Accord than anything else.
A true “SUV” is something like a Durango or a Suburban, which is built on a truck chassis.
An Element weighs 3500 lbs and has a 4-cyliner engine that gets 20-25 mpg.
A Suburban weighs 5600 lbs and has a V8 that gets 15-20 mpg. That’s with the smaller engine. The optional engine gets 10-15 mpg.
Meanwhile, a Kymco People 250 weighs 367lbs., and gets 65MPG. 🙂
AND I’M RIDING ONE TO THE PEE TEST IN DURN COLD WEATHER!

Yeah, I have less contempt for people who bought original Hummers—of course I think anybody who imagines they need a Hummer when they’ll never set foot offroad are just idiots—than I have for people who bought H2s or H3s; in other words, just large or mid-size Chevy pickups with ugly-ass cladding all over them. “Look at me! I’m a real tough guy!”
I gotta admit, I would like the feature of the real Hummer that you can pump up (or down) the pressure in each of your tires from the driver’s seat; or climb steps higher than the hubs. (I’d probably never benefit from the fact that they breathe through snorkels, and thus can ford water obstacles higher than the hood, but who knows in Seattle?) And being diesels, they get much better mileage than people think they do.
You really wouldn’t want a Hummer H1 unless you were planning on doing some serious offroading.
Even with the diesel it gets 16 mpg. For as big as they are, they’re not all that roomy inside. The drivetrain takes up a lot of interior space.
And you have the potential embarrassment of having a glacier beat you from 0-60.

brock lesnar had a white hummer and i once saw him take it offroad…off the highway, through the ditch and into the club parking lot…he used to come to the club a lot…he would always order the steak for two and make us watch him wrestling on teevee…
Major:
Yeah, anybody who buys a Hummer thinking it’s going to be a babe magnet, hasn’t really thought it through when you see the barrier between the seats. No “S. O. S.*” in that vehicle!

It can’t be a true SUV because of massive name-fail. ‘Element’ sounds all science-y and stuff. To be a real Manly Man vehicle it needs to have a name like Denali, Yukon, Pathfinder, Bronco, etc.

That thing is awesome and especially so for $4500!
The Crazy Conservative Cloning Factory has a new model coming out
Geeze, that was one poorly-written piece. PROTIP: when you’re mocking someone for their crap writing, don’t make yours just as weak. If AutoCorrect fucks up what you wrote, fix it &/or nuke the bloody thing if you can. Doesn’t anyone actually read what they’re writing any more?
But I forgive Jezebel, because they led me to Henri.
*facepalm*
Wish I could say I didn’t see this coming, but come on. What a stupid stunt, and a waste of a perfectly good opportunity. While he was working there he could have actually gotten his hands on some useful inside stuff if he knew what the heck he was doing.
Now what will we get out of him? I’m sure highly useful, secret info like “Bill O’Reilly was always a big conceited jerk!” or “Boy, Ailes sure was a paranoid, dictatorial boss!” Riveting.
Not to mention even if he did “smuggle” any useful or damaging information, it’ll now be completely ignored and blown off by anyone important using the ever popular “oh well he’s just making stuff up now because they fired him and he’s bitter” excuse.
What a fucking joke this whole thing was. Fuck Gawker and their lame attempt at whoring hits. We were all played gentlemen and ladies. It may as well have been a giant punk where they posted “lol we made the mole up” a week later for all the good it’ll do.
If we want to fix anything in this country it starts with deconstructing the Ailes propaganda empire using whatever means necessary, and this was a total and complete waste. I wouldn’t be surprised if the dumbass at the center of this turned himself in just to get out of the company so he could get started doing his media rounds and writing his book.
What a fucking disappointment this whole thing was. I can’t even begin to really explain just how much.

QFT.
Whoever decided to run with this guy’s stuff the moment they got it should be made to write “I will not blow awesome inside sources just to be a pathetic clickwhore” 1,000 times. With their nose. On the side of a dead beached whale on a California beach. In the summertime.
As someone over on MetaFilter pointed out, Gloria Steinem went undercover at the Playboy Club for a full month & didn’t say boo until she had the dirt on Hef’s little creepazoid man-boy outfit. Journalism isn’t dead, but it sure the hell isn’t ready to run any Iron Man comps any time soon.
bbkf, I feel your pain.
I personally killed off Hyperbole and a Half and People Who, two excellent laff sites.
Sigh.
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner simply because I discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to discuss this subject here on your web site.
