Someone let Sarah Palin loose without her keeper again. She posted this on twitter not long ago:
“Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate.”
You have to admire her mental gymnastics. She’s almost as much fun as ole GW was when it comes to verbal crimes.
Sarah Palin – wordsmith extraordinaire.
The Royal Bank of Canada was targeted by a shadowy group called Direct Action in Ottawa. One of the RBC banks was firebombed the other day by this group as part of their protest against RBC and greater corporate Kanada. Like most groups that commit stupid crimes that endanger the innocent, they posted their manifesto shortly after the attack. Here is a snippet:
“Royal Bank Canada is one of the planet’s greenest companies” according to one of its own brochures. Coporate Kanada saw fit to include RBC as one of the top 50 in a competition dubbed Canada’s Greenest Employers, which purports to recognize organizations that have created “a culture of environmental awareness.” Yet RBC is now the major financier of Alberta’s tar sands, one of the largest industrial projects in human history and perhaps the most destructive. The tar sands, now the cause of the second fastest rate of deforestation on the planet, are slated to expand several times its current size.
Dudes! I’d take your manifesto a wee bit more seriously if you hadn’t been caught on camera driving away in an SUV! Come one. If you are going to attack “Corporate Kanada” for it’s anti environmental activities, the least you could do is drive up to the site you are going to firebomb in a Smart Car. Seriously – an SUV? I hope it was at least a hybrid. Maybe you can contact the makers of Smart Cars and get them to sponsor you. Or better yet, ride up on a bicycle. Now that’s environmentally conscientious!
What makes me think these nobs don’t see the irony of using an SUV to strike in the name of environmentalism.
I realise this is old news, but what can I say – the Right Wing have been busy lately. Last week former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani went on “Good Morning America” and made this bold statement:
“what [Obama] should be doing is following the right things that Bush did.” (I’m working on figuring out what those things were. If I figure it out, I’ll let you know) …”We had no domestic attacks under Bush, …We’ve had one under Obama.”
Later he amended the statement by saying he had omitted to include the words “since 9/11″. Oh that makes it all right then! We’ll just forget about Richard Reid the shoe bomber shall we?
Former Bush press secretary, Dana Perino, said in November that the Clinton administration was to blame for the 9/11 attacks, which occurred 8 months after Clinton left office. I guess Bush should be forgiven for not having enough time to read the security alerts regarding Al Qaeda – the two syllable words must have stumped him. Bush was given a briefing a full month before 9/11 occurred, entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.”, yet the Bush administration did nothing to stop the attacks. It came out later that, despite growing concerns and warnings from the intelligence community in the US, the Bush administration didn’t follow up the warnings, nor did any of Bush’s advisors try to discuss the issue with the President again. Despite the overwhelming evidence that a terrorist attack did occur on US soil under the Bush administration, in November, after the Fort Hood attack, Perino said “We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during Bush’s term”.
Are these people memory impaired? Or are they laying the groundwork for the next election by reworking history? Not a group to let facts stymie them for long, they simply prevaricate (if you are a Bush/Palin fan, you might want to buy a d-i-c-t-i-o-n-a-r-y). If you repeat the lie enough, you begin to believe it. As will large numbers of voters. In rehabilitating George Bush’s reputation, they are making it easier for Palin (or any other far right candidate) to establish the moral high ground for any future elections. What’s next? Burning all the footage of 9/11 and all books that mention it?
Those loveable nut that collectively call themselves the “Teabaggers” or the Tea Bag Party have demonstrated again why they are incapable of understanding the basic fundamentals of the electoral system. Head teabag, Jeffery McQueen made the following statement on the show On Point with Tom Ashbrook:
… you know, in America we have a choice of four boxes for political change. We can go to the soap box, the ballot box, or we can go to the jury box. And hopefully we won’t have to go to the bullet box.
Ashbrook: Bullet box? Are you talking about armed revolution?
McQueen: Have you seen the ammunition sales the last twelve months?
Democracy is such a nuisance, isn’t it Mr McQueen. All sorts of people with different opinions get to have a say in how your country is run. Such an inconvenience.
Hey… anyone have a copy of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights hanging around? Maybe you can photocopy them and shoot mail a copy over to the Baggy party.
Sarah Palin has left politics and become a journalist. I know, I know… I’m laughing so hard I hurt. Sarah Palin the journalist really doesn’t trip off the tongue does it. Something like Fox News. Oh wait… it gets better… she’s working for that paragon of balanced reporting Fox News. Priceless, isn’t it. She wrote (or someone who knows how to string together sentences longer than “See Dick. See Jane” wrote for her) the following press release:
“I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News,” … “It’s wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news.”
Fox values fair and balanced news? Isn’t this the network that pays Bill O’Reilly to spew his hate filled rants all over the airwaves? Great now we can have stereo stupidity!
Oh well, someone had to hire the woman.
I laughed when I wandered across this headline over at Fox News:
Terrorists turn Yeman into Poor Man’s Afghanistan
Yes, that is because the holiday camps for terrorists are so darned expensive this time of year in Afghanistan. Fox and News, the combination of these two words must be some sort of a cosmic joke.
