On April 23, 2009, Right-wing Bloviator Sean Hannity volunteered to submit to being waterboarded "for charity".
It has now been
A long damn time
since he made this offer, and his nose is still dry.
It's also brown from kissing Bush's ass for eight years.
We all know he won't do it, because he's a pussy.
The higher of these two numbers below indicates which side of your brain has dominance in your life. Realising your right brain/left brain tendancy will help you interact with and to understand others.
What do you call a group that incites violence, relies on fear, intimidation and lies to influence political and social change, has no respect for others’ opinions and holds a country hostage to its own twisted desires?
That’s right, terrorists. The Republican party has become the Al Qaeda of American politics.
They don’t deserve the time of day. The Democrats and President Obama should pass health care reform, with a robust public option, with or without their support, interference, intimidation, lies, hypocrisy or terrorism.
It would destroy them once and for all, consigning the lot of them to the dustbin of history. Permanent minority status – that’s what they deserve.
In case you missed it (and let’s face it, who hasn’t seen this by now), here’s radical nutcase Orly Taitz demonstrating why no one with more than room temperature IQ takes this “movement” seriously:
Wasn’t that fun?
I’m beginning to think the President actually should petition the state of Hawaii to release his “long form” BC, just to shut these morons up. Not that it’ll help. They’ll probably accuse him of forging that as well.
I couldn’t help but notice, in this interview Ms. Taitz is talking from Tel Aviv. I wonder, does she have a green card?
Or, as I like to call it, the walk of shame for the lunatic fringe. Here’s video of our nation’s most prominent conspiracy theorists expounding on their ridiculous lies about President Obama’s birth records. Watch, pay attention, and remember:
Liz Cheney defending the Flat Birth Society
Lout Dobbs revealing his true colors
Senile Watergate criminal and Flat Birther G. Gordon Liddy getting ripped apart by Chris Matthews
Chris Matthews eviscerating Rep. Campbell about the Flat Birth crap
Sean “Waterboard Me” Hannity demonstrating he is, in fact, an idiot, a coward and a fraud
These people and all like them are liars and cowards. Remember them. The only antidote for their lies is repeating the truth, every time you hear one of them speak up. Their arguments are devoid of reason or fact, and should be exposed every time they’re uttered.
Destroy them. Treat them like the cockroaches they are, or this pathetic lie will continue to spread like a cancer.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of the American POW captured by the Taliban earlier this month. He, like all POWs, deserves nothing less than our fullest efforts to bring him home.
I hope Lt Col Peters chokes to death on his own treasonous, cowardly words and rots forever in the pit of Hell. He is giving aid and comfort to the enemy by his ridiculous lies and deserves the harshest possible punishment.
Daddy’s little girl is all growed up and ready to start illegal wars in countries that didn’t attack us.
The Washington Times reports that Liz Cheney, daughter and primary defender of former Vice President and lying scumbag Darth Dick Cheney, has been making noises about running for political office sometime in the future. Read on:
“It’s something I very well may do,” said Elizabeth “Liz” Cheney, a lawyer and State Department appointee who has worked on two Republican presidential campaigns.
Ms. Cheney, 44, has emerged as one of the strongest defenders of the effectiveness and legality of Bush-Cheney policies on enhanced interrogation methods. More recently, she and her father have become two of the most outspoken critics of President Obama’s position on terrorism and other national security issues, which has led Republicans to consider her a strong candidate for national political office.
Ms. Cheney told The Washington Times’ “America’s Morning News” that recent new reports that her father ordered the CIA to hide information from Congress and that a government probe could follow appears like political cover for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats who have accused agency Director Leon Panetta of lying.
“It gets more and more appalling every day,” she said. “I think they’re very worried about Speaker Pelosi.”
Oh, please. This woman is even more detached from reality than her dickhead father is. Anyone who thinks waterboarding isn’t torture and that the CIA tells the truth to Congress and the American people, is an idiot.
I hope she does run for office. I hope she gets her ass handed to her. I hope the weight of her father’s crimes and scandals comes crashing down on her head like a ton of shit. I hope the entire Cheney family gets indicted for war crimes and sent to the gulag their supreme patriarch created.
The results of a scientific study are in, and they tell us pretty much what we already know: that New York City’s parasitic relationship with the upstate regions and Delaware County in particular is killing the host. Read on:
DELHI _ The results of a $250,000 study to determine the effects of New York City’s land-acquisition program were presented at the Delaware County Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday.
The analysis predicts job losses and negative economic and tax consequences in Delaware County, and it offered recommendations for county action. At least one of those _ greater partnership with the city _ brought disagreement from two supervisors, while another supervisor said the study’s suggestions should be implemented.
Downeast Group Development Consulting prepared the study. Its president, Greg Brown, said the report analyzed the economic profile of Delaware County and the impact of NYC’s proposed $300 million land-acquisition program.
Delaware County commissioned the analysis to prepare for the State Environmental Quality Review of the land program. The proposed purchases could leave the city in control of up to 50 percent of watershed land.
Brown said the study found the economic effects, if the program were undertaken, include the loss of natural-resource-based industries, an impact on future growth potential and an artificial increase in land values.
Also, he said, local wage owners would be priced out of the land market, and there would a higher probability of NYC tax assessment challenges, a shift of the tax burden to other landowners and a shift in community character.
The report projects a potential loss of about 460 jobs in agriculture, forestry and bluestone mining.
Downeast’s report concludes with recommendations, including strengthening the partnership with NYC and developing a Smart Growth Comprehensive Development Plan for the county.
Of course, the most appalling thing about this is that it took a $250,000 study to tell us the obvious. You can drive all over Delaware County and see the negative impacts the City’s insatiable and selfish thirst for water and hunger for land have produced. Poverty, despair and misery follow wherever New York City goes.
I hate the City. It despise its arrogance, its greed and its overweening ambition. New York City was ground zero for the worst terrorist attack in history, and it’s now ground zero for the worst financial meltdown in history. It either attracts hate or causes misery. New York would be best off seceding from the city and leaving it to fend for itself.
If we can’t do that, we should at least increase property taxes on so-called “second homes” so we can begin to reclaim some of what is rightfully ours. We should charge the city a use fee for every gallon of water that NYC gets from the Watershed counties as a result of its land-grabbing. NYC has gotten away with this parasitism for far too long, and it’s time to pay up. Maybe if upstate counties band together and stand against NYC, it’ll think again about building a filtration and desalination plant.
Or maybe it won’t. NYC has a long and sordid history of bullying and whiny-ass me-first-ism. It’s the biggest and whiniest baby on the planet.
In case you missed it, here’s the text of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Memorial Day letter, as posted on the Huffington Post:
Today, as we honor America’s fallen soldiers, I ask you to join me in renewing our commitment to the men and women who have served our nation in the Armed Forces.
When I ran for Congress, I was clear about my opposition to the War in Iraq. But while I did not agree with President Bush ’s policies, I worked hard in Congress to provide our servicemembers and returning veterans with the health care and educational opportunities they deserve.
Now I am renewing those efforts in the U.S. Senate. Last week I introduced legislation called PRO-VETS, to require the Veterans Administration to seek out and provide our returning heroes with information on the benefits they have earned. It will eliminate red-tape and bureaucratic bottlenecks, and require timely responses from the VA to all those who inquire about the benefits for which they are eligible.
I was shocked to find out the following statistics from my home state of New York:
While there are 237,302 veterans in New York City , 181,360 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
While there are 121,183 veterans in Western New York , 87,217 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
While there are 85,401 veterans in Central New York , 61,220 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
While there are 54,360 veterans in the Southern Tier , 39,277 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
While there are 92,549 veterans in the Capital Region , 71,571 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
While there are 46,762 veterans in the North Country , 35,085 are not receiving VA health care benefits.
My legislation would close the gap between what our veterans are eligible for and what they are receiving. As I say in the news piece below, this is about shifting the focus of the VA to become pro-active, not reactive.
While the US government provides our veterans with many benefits, I believe there is much more still to be done to fulfill our promise to those who risk their lives for our country.
We need to expand health benefits to include treatment of autism for children of retired and active duty servicemembers.
We need to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell to allow our soldiers to serve openly and honestly, regardless of sexual orientation.
We need to expand access to healthcare for veterans and their families, including universal pre-natal care.
We need to provide incentives to businesses in order to expand the opportunities available to our veterans upon their return to civilian life.
In the meantime, it is my hope that my PRO-VETS bill, once passed and signed into law, will at least help veterans take advantage of the benefits that do exist. For me, this bill is my small way of saying thanks to our brave veterans for their service to our country. I encourage you all to join me in honoring our veterans and service personnel, not just today but every day. They and their families have earned our thanks and our support.
Damn right we have. I’ve been a supporter of Ms. Gillibrand since before the election, and will continue to be one as long as she supports our troops, our veterans, and their families. We need 99 more of her in the Senate. If only the Republicans had half her patriotism.
Jesse “The Body” Ventura brings the pain to Sean “The Pussy” Hannity, on Hannity’s own show:
It’s a beautiful thing. I was waiting for Jesse to ask when Hannity is planning on living up to his offer to be waterboarded for charity, but no such luck.
