The Progressive Machine is ruthless and likes to control and dominate. Currently Our Radical Progressive President Barack Hussein Obama seeks to control the media. He is currently trying to silence FOX News and get the other news organization to not cooperate with FOX. This is an attempt of media control that is too obvious for all to see. This is dangerous and it can’t be allowed to be successful.
Anitta Dunn who is White House Communication director came out and attacked Fox. Calling them an arm of the RNC, all the while she is an admitted Mao supporter. She also admitted in an interview that the Obama campaigned controlled the media!
The Obama campaign’s press strategy leading up to his election last November focused on “making” the media cover what the campaign wanted and on exercising absolute “control” over coverage, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told an overseas crowd early this year.
In a video of the event, Dunn is seen describing in detail the media strategy used by then-Sen. Barack Obama’s highly disciplined presidential campaign. The video is footage from a Jan. 12 forum hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development in the Dominican Republic.
“Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn’t absolutely control,” Dunn said, admitting that the strategy “did not always make us popular in the press.”
This is the Progressive Mindset of controlling the message. They are admitting they engage in Propaganda and seek to silence critics. They are Totalitarian pain and simple and must be called out. Progressivism is the biggest danger to American freedom It is Totalitarian by nature and will do anything to impose their way. No wonder Progressives love tyrants, they themselves want to be Tyrannical here in America.
Below is a Video of Anita Dunn describing their control.

And this is supposed to be news to us?
Dear Anita must be taking pointers from Obama’s dear friend, Hugo Chavez.
P.S. Why does this woman give me the creeps?
If it were not for Fox News, we would only have a Pravda-like media in this country.
It’s not so much about control, but rather collusion.
Ever notice the similarity in modus operandi between this white house and the proprietor of a certain blog?
Normally, I’m a free marketeer, but I almost think a little “trust busting” is due for the media. Most of the print and electronic media (except the internet) is in the hands of about 5 individuals. Supposedly this was done in the case of newspapers to save the papers, but as we can see, the acquired papers were quickly dismantled, merged, or allowed to die on the vine.

all power does in fact come from the barrel of a gun.
ever wounder why some of us are so jumpy about the 2nd amendment?
-just sayin.
The news coverage of Zero has been pathetic. I doubt most people care what kind of dog he owns, where he ate lunch today, or what Michelle was wearing. Why is it so hard for the MSM to understand that they are going down the toilet while Fox News becomes more popular?
Does Anita realize how un-American she is? Oh wait, her hero is Mao.
So how many media outlets will be pissed off about this?

Except the commenters on a certain blog can thumb their noses at the blog owner and take off for a more congenial site. We’re stuck here with Obama and his crazy campus radicals until the turkey is either voted out of office, decamps for Brazil with half the Treasury a la Marc Rich, or is carried off in a flying saucer, or something.
The habit of the arrogant to brag before they have truly consolidated their power has traditionally been their downfall.

re: #10 by tunnelrat
the funny thing is, that at age 12 in 1980, i noticed the media bias against reagan. i used to drive my parents nuts because i made them get me national review and always watched firing line. mom and dad were both dems back then.
the media, the clinton presidency, the constant bashing of W, and now the fawning over 0 has pushed my otherwise old school dem parents to almost the right of me! they and their friends NOW see past the big media and dont pay attention to it anymore. they do fox and rush and the internet.
i use them as a bell weather for all things politics…and if they are the bell (they havent been wrong since 1980) then the dems are in for an ass whiping of astounding proportions.

Exactly. They’re not even attempting to hide their biases any more.
“Yeah, OK, we’re whores,” sez the MSM. “We like being whores. So what? Whatcha gonna do about it?”
Well, look at your ratings and circulation and you’ll see what people are doing about it.
They’re not only whores, they’re dumb whores.
It’s disgusting how 0 and his merry band of toadies are now openly celebrating their various deceptions and lack of respect for American values.

It’s almost as if they’re under instructions to divert us with “bread and circuses” – i.e., Michael Jackson’s death, the balloon brat, or Obama’s poor puppy.
Do you know, I was so uninterested (or slow on the uptake) that it took me until yesterday to figure out that the First Dog is named after Obama. Dog’s name is Bo = B.O. = Barack Obama. Narcissist is right.
My laugh of the day came when I saw a pony-tailed old geezer (not CJ, this was one of your scrawny moonbats) reading “Newsweek” in the cafeteria at work. The front cover has a story about why Biden is no joke.

Treaties like that are made to be abrogated. So far as I know this country is under no obligation, legal or moral, to engage in a suicide pact. If Obama is feeling suicidal, well, let him do it on his own time and not drag us into it.

Right. It’s in your face complicity and if you don’t like it go start your own country. Well, maybe not that extreme, but they do intend on taking what they can whether you like it or not.

I have become super sensitive to liberal bias. Its everywhere, even on Americas Funniest Home Videos. The host Tom Bergeron is a complete lib and will take a jab at Bush, southerners, conservatives or any other part of American culture he sees as “beneath” him.
I told my dad about this and he was skeptical. One night we were watching together and there was a video with a pig as the subject. The host Mr. Bergeron made a derogatory comment saying “this must be a capitalist pig” or something similar. I just looked at my dad and he looked at me and started laughing and said “Son of a bitch, kid. How about that?”
Liberal bias is everywhere. It permeates everything and the only weapon we have is to make people aware of it.
I lost my grandad in August. He was 103. A lifelong dem too.
He voted for Obama. I couldn’t believe it!
I told him I went and cancelled out his vote by voting for McCain LOL.
My parents are lifelong Republicans and so am I. The first person I voted for was Reagan.
My dad grew up poor, had multiple surgeries for club feet, had three kids by the time he was 25 and went to night college for 10 years.
Retired Executive Vice President of the company he worked for.
A self made man whom I am very proud of.
My grandad was too, but I couldn’t talk him out of voting for the O LOL.
re: #50 by Gypsy Commenter
Whoops! Pardon, Kitteh — no slight on your nic intended.
In a quick pre-Frankfurt six-figure sale, Mitchell Ivers at Simon & Schuster/Threshold acquired world English-language rights to The Post-American Presidency by Pamela Geller, the popular Atlas Shrugged blogger, and four-time New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer (The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam [and the Crusades]). Scott Mendel at the Mendel Media group did the deal and says the book will appeal far beyond Threshold’s conservative base. Publication is expected in July 2010.

I never noticed this, until the Iraq war started. I sat at work surfing for news, worried for the troups. Click on CNN or CBS and it was a disaster–we were getting creamed. Click on Fox and, surprise, we were kicking butt. After that, I noticed it more and more. And it permeates everything now, een things that should not be political.
Team Obama Losing The Fox Wars
…the Obama administration has crowned the champions of the little guy, of Main Street USA who feel oppressed by the Political Industrial Complex. The Tea Party crowd have their conduit. Team Obama went out and designated Fox News the one group outside the political industrial complex who will challenge the status quo ‘eff-ups in DC….

re: #54 by typicalwhitey
My parents were life-long Dems too. Both were raised poor during the Depression and believed the Dems were the party of “the working man.”
My dad was a very conservative Democrat – a Scoop Jackson fan. He believed in a strong defense and was very anti-abortion (a devout Catholic).
There would be no place for him in today’s Democratic Party.
My sister has become conservative, but my 2 brothers are moonbats. They say to me “Dad turns in his grave every time you vote GOP.”
I say, “I used to make fun of Dad’s values when I was a lib. I returned to the values I was raised with and that’s why I don’t vote for Democrats any more.”

re: #61 by Kitteh
I first noticed after 9-11.
I remember clearly a Today Show segment about wedding cake. The home audience got to choose the clothing, venue, honeymoon, food, etc. of a couple who won a “wedding” put on by the show. Katie and Matt were looking at the cakes and Katie pointed out one in particular that she liked and quickly put her hand over her mouth and said “whoops, I’m not supposed to say I like something because that will sway the audience voting”. I thought, they FRIKIN KNOW they persuade people. She was instructed not to say anything, what else do they tell her to say or not say? She is that effing concerned about a wedding cake bias? How about the welfare of our country you b*tch? I never watched the show again. It all made sense.

re: #64 by Donna V.
It’s strange — to a great extent, the two parties have swapped their positions on many issues. Where they hold (a few) issues and attitudes in common, there can be found the fabled “centrists”. The Republicans still like business and free enterprise, but there is much more emphasis on the small businessmen nowadays. The Democrats still promote the Union movement, except that the unions appear to be under pressure from radicals, once again.
re: #56 by mawskrat
Expect a ponytail eruption very soon now.

and that line would have been enough to shut my mouth and start me thinkin.
Most news outlets should be ashamed of themselves –
I had some conservative visitors over the weekend. They are from South Africa and still watch BBC, Old news sites….
They had NO IDEA about the ACORN story, or the Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm Obama song. None of that had been on the “regular news stations.
CRAZY!
re: #56 by mawskrat
Wow.
Heads exploding for sure.
Congrats Pam and Robert.
re: #41 by Rodan
The “New” Democrat Party is just like the “Old” Democrat Party. The Radical Unionists, organized crime, Machine Party Politics, croneism, Leftist fellowtravellers, usful (and useless) idiots of ten different flavors, that is the Democrat Party. Add to it 9-11 truthers, Isolationist anti-Israel paleo-populists, trade protectionists, the lot of them have been the backbone of the Democrat War Machine since FDR. You can add the Ku Klux Klan and neo-confederates into the mix as well. All of this mess with an undoubtably facile PR wing (aided and abbetted by the lap-dog media) make up what calls itself the Democratic Party today, but that is the way it has been in memory of anyone living today.
People are leaving the Party as it becomes clearer and clear the factions that these people really represent, but it has not fallen near hard enough or far enough for me not to fear for the safety of the nation.
The Democrat Party hasn’t changed so much as the makeup has come off the old whore, and the beer gogles have dried up, and people are seeing her as she is for the first time. Like with the dried-up old whore, their reaction is “I was about to get fucked by her!”
It’s never to late to say no (until it is entirely too late to say no).
re: #73 by Grimcargo
chuckster is screwed no matter how he plays this!
this will be fun to watch.
Went to the store, back now.
I wasn’t of voting age when Reagan ran for Ca Gov., -far from it- but I was listening even as a kid. The man enthralled me and it was not welcome at home. He was the Gov during my highschool years. My dad used to engage us kids, there were 8 of us, and I was the only one that managed to take him to task for his downspeak of the man. And when it came time for him to run, again, as POTUS in 80 I was there.
To me, he is one of the great.
yup, kind of scarey to hear someone in the administration that was bragging about how they ‘controlled’ the media and released videos rather than speaking with reporters to ‘control’ what the press did.
For an administration that promised the most “Transparent” Administration ever, they seem to be about nothing but control of the media.
Once again…..
Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace.
My late mother was a D to her last day, and never realized that while she had not left the party, the party was leaving her. She died seven years ago, so bless her she did not have to witness what is happening to our country. I have to wonder, had she had the chance, if she would have broken from her past and voted against the One. I shall never know, of course, but I would like to think she would have.
re: #56 by mawskrat
That is great news. I hope the book does really well. Success is the best revenge, especially since a certain party did everything in his power to destroy their reputations and livelihoods. Fortunately, his power was not all that great, as it turns out.

Who is the ‘creep’ Charles is referring to? Is it the racist John Gimbel who threatened the Obama Administration?
So racist that he also threatened the Bush Administration in the same way, prompting visits from the Secret Service?
So racist that he called upon California residents to use ‘deer rifles’ to kill cops?
As far as I’m concerned, Charles is more of a radical than that guy, and that guy is a 100% nutter psycho.
Greta was just on Fox, she does not know how to take the axlerod put down of Fox as it includes her and all at Fox. The commies in the White House did not say, some at Fox are bad, they said Fox is bad and just a Republican shit hole.
Poor Greta, all that Democrat ass kissing and for what, the back of the O’s lefist hand via axelrod the paid media thug from Chicago way.

He and his dad (her father, which she calls by his first name) planned a trip up the East coast. She obviously thinks her conservative brother is a racist, chain-smoking, un-housebroken slob. This woman has never held a full time job and has lived off the State and Fed. governments her whole adult life. OH and she is a LIBERAL democrat. Read the email below and feel the tolerance.
Hey Mike,
Hope you are gearing up for your “up the coast road trip”. I just wanted to lay down a couple of important house “ground rules” when visiting just to avoid any weird energy while you are both here.
*In case you still smoke:
I don’t allow smoking in the house under any circumstances, even in a separate room. Both Chris and I are highly allergic to cigarette and cigar smoke, we also don’t want it in our upholstery. I am fine with you smoking in the backyard- with a cup of sand or water to extinguish the cigarette. Please don’t litter with cigarettes on the ground or street. We are both pretty freaked out by people who throw their butts on the ground or street.
***Men in the household (guests included) have to put the toilet seat down after use- That is a hard and fast rule here. Even Chris has to do that, and I am a pain in the ass about it when its not done.
**Just between you, and Chris and I: We should avoid topics of politics and race as we are completely opposite and passionate with our opinions. I just want to enjoy the time I have with you and Mark in a completely chill way.
I hope this is clear without any hurtful feelings. I am really looking forward to having you both here and hopefully the weather is nice to do some Autumny things and have good eats.
Call me the day before you plan to be at our house just so we can set up around what time that you would be coming over, also it will give Chris and I time to set up dinner plans for that evening.
Have a blast and safe drive on the way up.
Love Nancy
(names have been changed to avoid hurting the innocent)
Poor Geraldo, he is next under the Obama bus.
He has to be thinking, he may just jump ship,

My family are pretty lockstep on our social issues. Abortion we don’t discuss (although both of my sisters had their two children. Their’s weren’t pregnancies of convienience, I assure you), gun control is a given (youngest got her first pistol earlier this month; there is some concern that she might murder her first husband, but she’s getting trigger work done on it and all the bells and whistles. You don’t waste the time and money if you are planing on blasting someone. You get a cheap black-market piece of shit that can’t be traced to you), and Obama has been loathed since he first became a contestant. His position on gun control guaranteed that. My parents were Reagan Democrats (my mother at least. I doubt my father remembers whether he went for Ford or Carter. Everyone who could vote went for Reagan). Etc. Politically we are harmonious, as one woul dexpect from an olde family that lived past the times when we all wanted to murder the rest of us for one matter or another.
On the whole, I’m happy I didn’t kill them. It wasn’t always an easy decision…

People who grew up during the FDR era and WWII saw Big Government as being on their side. My parents were hard workers – but I don’t think it ever occurred to them to question programs like Social Security or Medicare. They had grown up with the myth of Hoover feeding his pet dogs steak while the country starved, etc.)
The difference is that prior to the ’60’s, many Dems also believed in a strong defense. And the cultural issues which have so poisoned our national simply weren’t issues back then. Nobody favored gay marriage or abortion back in the 1950’s. Most Americans were churchgoers, so that didn’t come into the picture either.

Lance, I recently was at a party at a smoker’s house and a liberal woman whined because the host was smoking. I’m an ex-smoker myself, but I refuse to be an ass about it. Everyone knows this guy smokes and so if you go to a party at his house – he’s going to smoke! Don’t go if smoke bothers you that much.
The host refused to be bullied. He said “Lisa, it’s MY house” and calmly continued to puff away. Then she sat there making faces like someone had cut one and waved her hand around – but she didn’t leave and she didn’t go outside.

As I’ve noted several times (once here and several times at the hole) there were progressives in the 30’s. They were proudly communist. Their entire agenda parallels the current progressive agenda.

re: #126 by Donna V.
I think what happened was in common with the debacle in Vietnam and the rise of National Greatness Conservatism to the fore (with Regan), you have codified a reactionary movement on the Left that is the opposite of National Greatness- National Incompetance Liberalism? Since America isn’t perfect (what is), she can’t be great. She has to be just as bad as every little hell-hole in theThird World It is an article of secular faith to them.
Therefore, anything that harms America, takes her down a peg, helps reduce our insanely high standard of living or cut our insane demands for energy (note the emphasis on true reductions in production, noit clean coal or nuclear power generation that is safe for the environment and the American economy), etc. When we look at Cap and Tax, or National health care we gasp “That will bankrupt the economy!” they don’t see our objections. To them that is not just a feature of the process, but a clear goal to be aimed at.
Saving the Planet (whatever the hell that means) takes dim second fiddle to bankrupting the American economy, driving up costs thus reducing supply and curtailing demand (shit is just too expensive). The standard of living will take a nosedive, with the upper middle class (and lower upper class; the Ruling Elites don’t see anything out of this touch their lifestyle) bearing the brunt of the downward calamity, but the poor will get poorer too. This is all basic Communist doctrine. Crush the middle class, fatten the rich for the coming slaughter, and when the powderkeg comes apart be there to grab the important pieces when things begin to come back together. It is better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven for these cats, and they don’t mind creating that reasonable facimili thereof to reign in. Power over the abject is everso much nicer than being first among equals (which is where we are rapidly headed) is.

Just like he mocked the death of our troops in Iraq. Catch a clue folks, hes mocking the body counts, which in the H1N1 case is .05%, comparable to any other strain of flu. Just like the deaths in the worst days of the Iraq war were comparable to those in Detroit and Chicago.

“Mr Johnson”…is that you chuckie??
Rush was making a point. Usually the flu is hardest on older folks. They are using the H1N1, saying it is more dangerous for children to help push through the heathcare bill.
That is what he is saying anyway.
My question is, why isn’t the vaccine widely available? Because it is coming from the govt and we all know what a model of efficiency it is! Want them in charge of ALL your healthcare?
I don’t.
Even if you agree with “mr.” johnson, how is it he only sees these things happening with conservatives? Why doesn’t he jump the libs who are racist/sexist etc.

I’ve had H1N1 – it is a very severe flu. You don’t die from it, however – just the secondary infections that creep in with the long bout of flu

I however love him because he is fearless and could care less if his shtick offends the PC sensibilities of the left or the right. He is the biggest force in speaking out what many would like to hear but never did in the MSM.

As a correctional officer I will be allowed to get the H1N1 vaccine when the inmates do which is before the general public. All vaccines carry risks, ever since the small pox vaccine. (Did anyone here see the John Adams miniseries?) Do the risks from the vaccine outweigh the risks from the H1N1 flu? Probably not especially if you are pregnant or have other medical conditions that make any flu a greater risk than normal. I however want to get some immunity to this thing before it mutates or has viral sex and becomes something far worse than it is. So I will get vaccinated.

I’ve been listening to Michael Medved lately. He’s just as forceful, has facts to back up his opinions as well, and gets more callers who oppose his views than Rush does. Medved handles them with temperate ease.
Medved speaks the same language as Rush, just in a different tone.
Just sayin’.

100 million?
Why low ball the number?
Add in socialists, which are only housebroken commies, and make it 1,000 million.
Make sure Rachel Carson is on the list and it will go much higher.
Rush is almost always quoted out of context by the left.
They quote him out of context and then act shocked and dismayed by their own concoctions.
He’s a good guy.
The fact that he gets under the left’s skin is a sign of his effectiveness. There isn’t a single liberal radio show host in America who will ever be able to touch his ratings.
re: #265 by Rancher
Well, I don’t know how much vision it took to see that SUV’s would be a target; the marvel is that a blind eye was turned to the car companies’ shell game with corporate CAFE (fuel economy) ratings for as long as it was. They stopped making big V-8 passenger cars and sold everybody big V-6 and V-8 SUV’s instead. And they got away with it for decades.
re: #270 by Bunk X
Yeah, Medved rubs me the wrong way. He’s good but it’s like chalk on a board to me. Prager is my fav for sanity,
re: #259 by kiwiviv
Maybe, but what makes H1N1 unique is that it will kill healthy young adults and pregnant women disproportionately to any other flu. This was recognized when it was confined mostly to Mexico and still hasn’t been explained.
re: #261 by typicalwhitey
No one that has a kid, and spends any time with said kid, could be on 1.0 all day long and post that many comments.
Usually flu affects old people more seriously than youngers ones. The reverse is true with this “swine flu.” It is young people who are getting the serious cases and account for mist of the deaths. Old folks seem to get a milder version of it, probably because they have at some point been exposed to the virus before. That is why kids and young adults will be given priority for the H1N1 vaccine.
Nothing political about it.
re: #276 by Sparky
I LOVE Prager also
re: #277 by Rancher
Yes – and it also affects overweight folks badly.
re: #267 by typicalwhitey
I don’t usually talk about Rush at all. This came up apropos of that 1.0 thread. I couldn’t help commenting that I’m with them on this particular one. That doesn’t make Chuckie any less of an asshole, obviously, but I agree with them this time.
re: #270 by Bunk X
Actually, half the time I can’t stand listening to Medved, and turn the radio off. Not because of any issue with Medved, but because of his moonbat guests and callers.

Both wars were part of the same IMO.
CAFE is another ball and chain on freedom, there is no need for it. I’ll pay for my own gas, and if the libs will quit filing lawsuits on every potential drilling site, it would be a non issue. Now Canada doesn’t have that problem, at least there, the libs know that drilling drives an economy.

Inmates are first in line for flu vaccines, not just in NM either. Fair? Hardly. I’m not sure of the justification either. The officers that guard these inmates usually don’t get the vaccine when the inmates do, they are available to them when they are available to the general public. CDC has made an exception in the case of H1N1 and I plan to take advantage of it.

Actually, I don’t think the CDC has said that overweight people are more likely to get H1N1.
I think overweight people are more likely to get the complications that can be fatal.
This is why anyone who is overweight needs to keep in close touch with their doctor if they get it.
It doesn’t mean that they will die from it, but it does mean that they might be more susceptible to the complications that can become more of a serious and life-threatening illness.

He mentioned going to (I think it was) Australia, and he was at a movie theater with a friend.
A preview of the movie “Free Willy” appeared on the screen, and the audience roared with laughter.
Sorbo later asked his Aussie friend, “Why were people laughing so hard about that preview? I don’t see what was so funny about it.”
And the friend explained to him that “willy” was a slang term in his country for a certain part of the male anatomy.

Rush is pointing out that the H1N1 flu has the same mortality rates as the usual seasonal flu that goes around each year but Democrats are trying to sensationalize H1N1 as a way to sell their horrific Obamacare plans that would destroy America’s health care system.
The Dems are using H1N1 in the same way that they use manufactured hysteria over global warming to try to shove their liberal agendas down our throats.
He was making fun of LIBERALS not children.
Liberals will use any possible means that they can dream up to try to destroy America and our health care system.

Umm except he’s had a number of members from the medical community call in and agree. Some of the most tearjerking calls have come from healthcare pros. Unfortunately, you have spent far too much time listening and believing the left. 90% of Rush is pure satire. It took me a while to get that. I for one would like him to stop clowning around as much as he does, but I’m afraid he’d get a stick up his ass like Hannity if he did. Or just go completely off the screaming precipice like Michael Savage. Rush is a huge donor to a large number of important causes and always goes out of his way to support them, even on the air. Name me a liberal who does that, without massive self-promotion.
Say what you will, and many things I agree with you on, but you are talking out your ass on this and just repeating lib talking points without any evidence.
Ask people who have listened for years. Hell, I’ve only been listening about 9 years now, and I started believing all the shit the left said about him. It turned out that the person I was listening to was far different than the ogre the left put forward.

The CDC found that since the April introduction 86 children have died as a direct result of exposure to the H1N1 swine flu virus – 43 of which have died in September and October alone.
Health officials are concerned with the death figures, as seasonal flu varieties typically kill 40 to 50 kids over the course of an entire season.”

What’s funked up about the left is Rush raised money for kids dying from AIDS but the money was refused (IIRC) because he was the one who collected it.

Personally, I think Beck is putting all the conservative talk guys to shame, and that includes Rush, Hannity, and Levin. Those guys don’t tell you anything you didn’t already know. Beck, however, is pulling up rocks that were never overturned before.

You don’t get Rush yet, unless you’re yankin’ the chain.
Sure, you can taste the stew with a spoonful and get an idea of the quality, but you can’t sample a word and determine the value of a dictionary.
re: #425 by Moe Katz
People who die from H1N1 aren’t dying because of a mere exposure to the flu or from the flu itself.
They are dying from the complications.
This means that they have other health issues that have compromised their immune systems or else they die because they’ve gotten pneumonia that has been left untreated over time.
The left is using this as an excuse to rip the rugs out from under 250 million people when it comes to their health care.
All they need to do is to warn people that compromised immune systems are a dangerous complication for this flu and that healthy people should see a doctor rather than letting pneumonia go untreated.
The libs are using H1N1 as a weapon against us.
This is all that Rush is saying.
Damn that was profound.
What if there were about 100 Mandys and they met to comment on a blog? Think of the conversation that would ensue.

re: #429 by Moe Katz
WTF does this have to do with the fucking CDC. He’s not saying it’s not real. He’s ridiculing the liberals that turn out every fucking crisis, real or imagined to scream what about the children!
Whether or not someone thinks this is a real crisis is moot. That wasn’t the freaking issue. It’s the willingness of some useful tools to push an agenda on the backs of the dead and dying.
It’s too fucking late to keep up with this argument. I have children to get to school in the morning. And I seriously don’t have the time to waste wondering what is going to kill them tomorrow. The point of life is to deal with things as they happen, not get worked up over whatever zombie apocalypse is going to annihilate everyone this week. Panic serves no purpose. The CDC did s great job detailing the precautions that we should take to prevent the spread, and guess what, to a large degree it’s working. If Mexico had been able to do the same the death toll would have been lower.
Countries that have more governmental control are far more likely to see large numbers of deaths historically. Why? Largely because the government is inefficient, it cannot get immunizations out quick enough, they tend to put the sick together in one area, thus encouraging the disease to propagate and spread to the people helping, this also helps freak strains that otherwise would have died off, to survive by passing more quickly.
The government is not the solution for everything. And even though words mean things, they mean a hell of alot more when taken all together and not just cobbled together like a badly made shoe.
On that bizarre metaphor I bid you all good night.

Yet you think this is enough to judge Rush by when people here are telling you that you don’t understand who he is or what he’s saying.

You did say up thread that you don’t listen to his show that much, so if he did take such a position, would you really be aware of it?
I think Rush is misunderstood much of the time.
I can see how some people might find his personality hard to take, especially if they only listen to him in small doses – you do have to listen to the guy for a week or two to really ‘get’ him.
Limbaugh is pretty blunt and forceful, and some people may be turned off by that sort of speaking or delivery style, but if you can get past that and listen to him, I think you’d find that you agree with him about a lot of stuff.
A lot of liberals think that he hates women because he uses the term “femi nazis,” for example.
I’m a female who has listened to him a lot over the year, and if you really follow his arguments, you can see he’s really not a sexist pig.
Limbaugh doesn’t tolerate the intolerance held by hard left feminist groups. He’s always polite and respectful to his female callers, even the ones who are liberal lunatics.
He’s the same way in other regards, with other issues…
He’s really not racist, but you wouldn’t know that from the clips and sound bites that left pull out of context, etc.
Maybe the best way to put it is to say that Limbaugh is an acquired taste.
re: #450 by Eliana
Eliana, honestly, I’m in Canada and I don’t really catch any American media that talk about Rush.
So now Al Sharpton is going to sure him for what he said about Sharpton’s role in the anti-Jewish riots.

Please note the number of deaths that had other factors. H1N1 is a relatively minor variant of hte many types of flu. Iy is a paper tiger compared to some strains that have gone arround.

You’re making a judgment based on what Rush-haters say and you refuse to listen to the people here when we tell you (100 times or more) that the Rush-haters are not providing an honest view about what Rush says.
You’d rather accept the Rush-haters’ views than us when it comes to Rush, though.
It makes no sense at all.

How have different age groups been affected by novel H1N1 flu in terms of deaths?
CDC studied the hospital records of 268 patients hospitalized with novel H1N1 flu early on during the outbreak. The number of deaths was highest among people 25 to 49 years of age (39%), followed by people 50 to 64 year of age (25%) and people 5 to 24 year of age (16%) This is a very different pattern from what is seen in seasonal influenza, where an estimated 90% of influenza-related deaths occur in people 65 years of age and older.

I’ll keep reading your comments though, on the chance I might understand where you’re coming from and may be wrong about you.
See how it works?
/Then again, my first impression my be correct, but I will give it a try.
Rush is a good guy. Beck’s my favorite right now, but Rush is a close second.
Those who malign Rush don’t listen to him. Or if they do, they hate him not because he’s “hateful,” but because he’s so relentlessly cheerful and upbeat. It’s what they hated Reagan for.
When I listen to Rush, he jokes, he looks at the bright side. When his reprehensible drug use caused him to lose one of the most important things a radioman can lose, his hearing, he didn’t bitch and moan. I remember when Clinton won his second term, people were calling in to Rush weeping. He talked them down with jokes about how great the comedy was going to be for the next 4 years.
It’s what I don’t like about Hannity and Levin and Savage–too negative. Beck can be negative, but he always finds the hope, and he can be wickedly funny, as the bubble boy parody he did on his radio show proves.
Plus, how dare an uneducated Midwesterner single-handedly turn talk radio into a billion-dollar enterprise? Has he no respect for his betters on the coasts?
I’ve got no time for bigots from the coasts who don’t get Rush. We in Missouri are going to suffer with the Rams for many more years because he was not allowed to bring his desire for excellence to bear on the team because of his political beliefs.
As Ace noted, it’s not illegal to be a conservative yet, but it’s highly frowned upon.
re: #464 by Eliana
Eliana, I’ve disliked Limbaugh for decades, and that’s based on samples of his broadcasts. If I’m not persuaded by the others here maybe that’s because I have different political sensitivities to this crowd. I don’t hide that. I’m a center right Canadian, with health/social services sector worldview.

Excerpt:
Rush’s on air persona is contrived. Of course he’s a true blue conservative, that’s not a put on, and sure, with his tip toeing along the edge of insensitivity, which he does on purpose, he’ll go over the edge at times. Speaking extemporaneously for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, trying to be provocative, sure hhe’ll have his mishaps. Here is a better measure of the man:

That is not enough. What have you heard?
I could and would understand your distaste for him if some specifics were mentioned. All I have seen so far are unwarranted generalities and one 30 second vid with your criticism that was way out of context.

Moe, different strokes for different folks. Saying you just don’t like him is one thing. I loathe Michael Savage and Mark Levin, even though I agree with their politics. It’s a matter of taste. But you ought not to say things that are objectively untrue about the man.
He’s a good man. He comes from a very good family in Missouri, and even those who don’t like him are proud of him. I was at a nephew’s football game Friday and was saying to my liberal brothers “The Rams are going to regret that Rush didn’t buy them.” They agreed.
re: #499 by Moe Katz
You don’t listen to Rush. Many of us here do.

re: #368 by Moe Katz
Ah, but that’s one of the statist’s greatest tools. If the law, regulation, restriction is “for the children”, or “will save even one child”, it is like a free pass to get the public to give up yet another element of freedom. THAT is what Rush is mocking — it goes beyond the flue vaccine, but to the manufactured crisis, tied to our health care takeover debate and how the statists are using that old line of “we’ve got to do it for the children”.
When they came for Geert Wilders, they thought it was someone else’s problem, and he was too inflammatory anyway.
When they came for Michael Savage, no one stood beside him, not even his fellow talk show hosts, even though they knew their necks were headed for the chopping block.
When they came for Rush Limbaugh, people started to get it. And many who tuned in to hear him turn the administration into a joke, came and stayed.
This White House has lied to and manipulated the press without restraint, and the press has gone along with nary a whimper, acting as a White House PR firm, squealing with glee to lick his feet. He invited the Huffington Post into the White House Press Corps and they choked a bit, and now he tries to kill off the only news organization holding him accountable.
Now they are coming for FOX News. They have built their case for years, and stand ready to make the kill.
The journalists – if they still call themselves that – at CNN know this isn’t right. Will they do the right thing?
Let us hope that this can be stopped while there are still people left to speak out.

Rush said this in the WSJ: It didn’t take long before my name was selectively leaked to the media as part of the Checketts investment group. Shortly thereafter, the media elicited comments from the likes of Al Sharpton. In 1998 Mr. Sharpton was found guilty of defamation and ordered to pay $65,000 for falsely accusing a New York prosecutor of rape in the 1987 Tawana Brawley case. He also played a leading role in the 1991 Crown Heights riot (he called neighborhood Jews “diamond merchants”) and 1995 Freddie’s Fashion Mart riot.
I don’t think Sharpton has a leg to stand on.

I think you’ve given that impression because, IIRC, up thread the link you gave to “proof” that Rush Limbaugh is supposedly a great big jerk was to a video clip, one taken out of context, and that is hosted on a liberal site (I think it was hosted on liberal “Media Matters”).
If your exposure to Rush is via clips on liberal sites like that one, where they edit the portions of the video you see, rather than show you the entire show segment, then yes, the information you’re getting about Rush is tainted and biased.

You can’t be female and conservative. If they had their way they would just line conservatives against a wall and the rest would go down the memory hole. They are a threat to every single human on this planet.
I absolutely do not trust reports about “what Limbaugh says.” I used to listen to him daily when he first started out nationally. I remember how the Left and the Clinton administration would rip sound bites out of context and mischaracterize his program. He was the first conservative to crack the leftist monopoly in the MASS media, and they were terrified.
I remember in particular how the Clintonistas actually blamed him for the Oklahoma City bombing, for stirring up anger about Waco. It was a TOTAL LIE. Wholly unjust and slanderous. I had listened to Rush all during the Waco crisis and he was 100% supportive of the Feds. (I wasn’t, BTW.)
I concede that I haven’t listened to him in 15 yrs or so, and he may have changed. I’ve heard otherwise, but don’t know for sure.
What I find interesting is the sudden, concentrated campaign against him. It’s not exactly as if he’s new on the scene. The Left (see Cloudy’s #476 for an example) is going whole hog with this. Why? Why now?
I guess, following the Alinsky rules of personalizing all politics, you have to pick SOMEONE to isolate and demonize. Without a real leader in the GOP, Rush will have to do.
re: #527 by Bunk X
Well, I didn’t see anyone else in this thread besides Moe trashing Rush, did you?
Perhaps you can point out to me someone else who was accusing Rush of being like a guy who tortured animals as a kid. I must have missed it.
All I saw was people trying to explain to Moe that he isn’t seeing Rush’s real personality on his radio shows or his real views.
If I missed another “Rush is a bully” guy on this thread, please point him or her out to me.
Moe does NOT listen to Rush and Moe claims that he doesn’t listen to anyone else either when it comes to Rush, yet somehow he mysteriously hears the worst Rush sound bites about Rush that the anti-conservative smear merchants have to offer. Rush doesn’t release anti-Rush sound bites about himself.
If anyone else here sides with Moe against Rush, please provide a link to their post(s).
I’ll take ‘em on one at a time.
This anti-conservative smear merchant business is being used against Fox News, too, and conservatives in general.
I don’t think we ought to let it go by no matter where we see it and no matter who is saying it.
Pardon my use of the first person plural pronoun in my posts while fighting against anti-conservative smears.

How anyone could equate a genocidal murderer with Mother Teresa is beyond comprehension.
If a conservative ever said that there would be banner headlines. Mao murdered more than Hitler did.

That is one reason of several why I’ve tried to be very, very nice in my posts to you about this.
It can be hard to stand up for a view when you’re in the minority and several other people are replying.
I think most folks have been pretty polite to you in the midst of this, which I am happy to see. I always hated how people would viciously rip apart someone very rudely who was in the minority over at LGF 1.

re: #538 by Bunk X
Moe is definitely a good guy.
Describing Rush as a guy who probably tortured animals as a kid is essentially describing Rush as a serial killer type.
Anyone who argues against him in this view is entirely justified.
He’s a good guy, but these insults were absurd.

The Obama administration’s fixation with hating Fox news is creepy to me, and it’s also strange.
And Wallace (journalist/reporter on Fox) was right, the Obama admin. are behaving like a bunch of cry babies.
Think about how much trash George W. Bush got inundated with by the media during his time in office.
I don’t recall Bush or any of his spokes people sucking their thumbs and stamping their feet at press conferences or on TV shows about how the MSM were big, unfair meanies.

Well, I hope I wasn’t too harsh on Moe because I definitely think he is a good guy.
It’s just that the anti-conservative smear merchant business (e.g., Media Matters, LGF, Kos, etc.) are going too far about all conservatives.
Rush is the one of the most visible people but he’s not the only target.
They’re calling conservatives racist on a daily basis now (or as Michelle Malkin spells it, I think, “Raaaacist!!”)
Conservatives in general are the targets.
Rush is just the most visible one (along with Glenn Beck).
The White House itself is targeting Fox News as if they’re worse than a terror organization for not being in Obama’s pocket.
re: #561 by CloudyDay
Well there in lies the problem. Bush had class and tact. Obambi not so much, the dude is a spoilled little bitch. He had never been challenged in his life until recently. He was always the special little snow flake. Plus Michelle has his balls in a jar in the family lock box.
re: #530 by Eliana
I saw an article in Ynet News about how Olmert got shouted down by the fascists in… Chicago. I didn’t watch the video because I’ve seen their tactics before.
Funny, they get to deny a person’s right to speak but a polite question to Al Gore and the guy’s right to speak gets curtailed immediately.
re: #564 by Moe Katz
Thanks, I figure I will give it a try. My grandpa says I should just accept it. LOL, but I’m only 26. I want to put it off for about 5 years if possible.
A long long time ago I felt the same way Moe does – I had heard of Rush, and had heard him a couple of times in passing – enough to be “offended.” The I had some clients who were devotees, who tuned in religiously, and in order to be able to hold a conversation with them, I tuned in. Just so as not to be ignorant.
He was talking about the ‘feminazis’ which at the time I could take great umbrage at – but instead, I found him funny, because though the WORDS said one thing, the tone and the poking fun made it clear he was playing devil’s advocate.
In poking fun, he was challenging them to be straight with the facts, and to defend their position, and I found myself not only laughing but admitting he was right.
I’ve been amused to hear others recount similar stories, especially lately. People who tuned in when Obama decided to make him a villain, who found themselves amused and also in agreement…
Jus’ sayin’ – you may be surprised. And if not, you may like Boortz, Medved… any number of others… and you will find them much more tolerant than any on the left.
re: #566 by Eliana
Eliana, it was the “feminazi” stuff I heard decades ago. I’ve always been strong on women’s issues and that’s where he lost me.
re: #560 by Moe Katz
Rush is not the litmus test. He’s the mouthpiece. He was the first to gain time on the radio and had the balls to argue logic against the leftists. He’s the pioneer who takes the arrows for the rest.
re: #568 by mjazz
I haven’t seen the video either.
Obama is trying to turn America into Chicago.
He would like the whole country to shout down Israel.
re: #567 by linoleumknife
Very true about Bush although he had his flaws as all do.
But at least he stayed at the White House.
It seems Obama is everywhere but there.
I wonder exactly how many days he has stayed at the White House?
He is here he is there he is everywhere…
and ignoring his General McCrystal concerning
Afganastan. Not to mention winter is coming to there.

Oh I know, I know, and what galls me is that they depict their side as being “tolerant” and everyone on the right is allegedly a racist or sexist!
I was at some political blog, the topic had to do with women, and some of the liberal females in the comment section were saying things like, ‘college educations are wasted on conservative women, or women who want to stay at home and raise kids.’
I thought the whole point of feminism was to support all women no matter what they chose to do with their lives.
#543- Lily- “I think Moe is a good guy too…..
We all have our opinions as they say.”
AMEN!
re: #571 by Moe Katz
You should read his first book. He has a whole chapter about that. He does not hate women, but the way that the feminist movement went about their agenda. The great part is he is spot on. They do not support women, the support Proggies. The last election and the was the Feminazis went after Palin is a perfect example.
re: #543 by Lily
I have my opinions whether anyone likes them or not.

I don’t remember if he really distinguished between left and right feminists at the time, but people are beginning to do that more now. Especially on Islam, where the left feminists are coming under criticism for putting multiculturalism above the condition of Moslem women.
re: #571 by Moe Katz
Moe, it’s nice of you to be concerned, but you aren’t (for example) an educated woman in a technical field that has been traditionally dominated by men. I am. Both of these. Masters Degrees in Computer Science and in another discipline – I have also mentored, supervised and managed technical men all my adult life.
I’m not offended by what Rush says about women.
Quite the contrary, in fact.
Many of his biggest fans are women and I’ve heard women who are lawyers talk about how much they like him.
You don’t understand him and if I can’t ask you to trust me on this, then I guess I can’t.
re: #575 by Moe Katz
Nah, I couldn’t bring myself to that. My only problem is my age. I just need a few more years. After I have my first kid is fine. Until then I need to stay sexy. LOL.
re: #576 by CloudyDay
That’s the point though. They do not support woman or minorities. They want to control them. Affirmative Action is so racist I can not believe that minorities do not scream about it. I mean if someone told me that the only way I could get a job is through some government mandate, I would kick their ass right where they stood.
re: #546 by Eliana
I saw some folks ganging up on Moe. Didn’t want to be part of that 1.0 tactic, didn’t intend to offend you either. I thought you were being heavy handed.

re: #584 by Moe Katz
Well that’s the thing. According to the feminist movement, if you are a conservative woman you are not really a woman. Atleast not one worthy of the feminist. They look down on anyone who doesn’t fit their Proggie model. Women who are taken aback by abortion are worse than Hitler to these people. If a woman decides to stay at home and raise a family, she is a tratior of the highest caliber. They majority of them have no interest in advancing a womans freedoma anymore than your typical caveman.

re: #551 by BenZacharia
By “he” I assume you mean Moe. If any of Rush’s detractors who have never listened to or read his words decide to deride him, their arguments are without merit.
Rush’s ideas are not original. He just happens to be the current voice of conservatism, and he does it in his own way.
560, Moe Katz
I wouldn’t worry about it, don’t let all of us Rush fans scare you away from the blog or intimidate you from participating here.
571, Moe
As I said above, I’m a woman, I’ve heard him use the term “femi nazi,” but it’s clear he’s only using that to be critical of far left groups who are very intolerant.
Rush has always been polite to his female callers to his show, even the liberal women who scream at him and act like nuts.
567. linoleumknife
And as I heard someone point out on the news tonight, the Obama administration is accustomed to having the entire MSM in their back pockets, and so it really, really bugs the crud out of them that FOX is one of the few media outlets that will not just automatically bow down and kiss Obama’s rear end.
I agree with that view, and I think it makes Obama look very petty -and it makes him look ilike a dictator- to try and intimdate and control a news network.
re: #594 by linoleumknife
Feminists despise conservative women.
Some of them actually talked about wishing they could kill Sarah Palin last year.
They see conservative women as not being women.

The only thing I see that they have in common is that they are both “colorful” characters.
I see differences between the two.
Johnson is rather irrational, doesn’t back up his arguments with proof or solid arguments (but uses flimsy strategies, such as guilt-by-association arguments) and bans people who disagree with him.
Rush, however, mainly just quotes from news articles and critiques them- he’s not making stuff up, or using faulty argumentation as Johnson does.
Sometimes, Limbaugh allows those who disagree with him to phone in and talk for a long time.
If Johnson had a radio talk show, I doubt he would permit a Creationist, anti-Global Warming person, or Glenn Beck fan to talk for 5 – 10 minutes.
It was a cordial invite, bitch.
re: #622 by Bunk X
That, um was a joke to you linoleum…
Well, I’ve been in situations even in academia where they aren’t totally used to women getting advanced technical degrees. When I was outside the room waiting for my graduate adviser and his committee to drill me to pieces on my Masters Thesis/Project two weeks before graduation, I was having kittens in the hallway. Very nervous.
The head of the department passed by and asked me if I was lost. I said, “No, I’m about to find out if I’m going to graduate with a Masters Degree in your department in two weeks after defending my project…” (and then I explained to him what I’d built as my Masters Project).
He almost fell over.
Then I went into the Inquisition and got an A.
Then, I almost fell over.
I didn’t care what the head of the department thought but I was ready to celebrate!!!

In the holiday book, “Frosty the Snowman” was referred to as “Frosty the Snowpersun.”
re: #621 by CloudyDay
Way back when I was listening to Rush (late 80’s, early 90’s) he used to put liberals at the head of the phone call line. He was polite and didn’t ridicule them personally. Is that still true?
(I think the biggest diff between Rush and CJ is that Rush has a genuine sense of humor.)
re: #621 by CloudyDay
“If Johnson had a radio talk show, I doubt he would permit a Creationist, anti-Global Warming person, or Glenn Beck fan to talk for 5 – 10 minutes.”
I disagree. He’d let them talk for 15 minutes at a time, but then he’d interrupt them with phrases like, “Good Grief,” “Here they come again,” and “Bite me. Get your own blog.”

Not long ago, two liberals made it to the front of the phone line by lying about their questions.
Rush was very polite to them! He disagreed and explained why.
A bit later, Rush said that his call screener apologized and asked if he should do something different to try to keep these liberal types from lying and getting through to Rush on the air.
Rush said no! Let ‘em though!!
He’s such a good guy and he can handle them.

re: #627 by wolfie
I don’t listen to Rush every single day every week, but off and on over the past few years when I have listened, he has permitted liberals on the show.
I don’t know if he still lets them on first or not.
But there’s been several times where Rush completely shuts up and lets the liberal person ramble for what seems like forever, totally uninterrupted.
(Of course, with other liberal callers, he will cut in and say stuff sometimes, I guess it depends on his mood or how nutty the caller is.)
628. Bunk X
You have a point there.
I could see him doing that – before bidding them an “adieu” and telling them to “get their own radio show” before hanging up on them…
Sadly, he wouldn’t be able to use his photos of ocean liners, piers, or close-ups of keys on a radio show. What would become of the photography?

Dustin Hoffman was always taking photos of people’s shoes and street signs and other things that no one else would ever want to photograph.
I loved it at the end of the movie when they showed his photographs during the credits.
I’ve always wondered if this is where CJ got the inspiration for his photos of things like rusty bolts and fence post latches that only have one side of the latch.
No insult meant to autistic people, of course.
re: #634 by CloudyDay
Rush lets the real kooks ramble. Remember Rita X? She was great, talking about how the mothership was circling the earth getting ready to take all her brothers and sisters to the promised land on the other side of the sun.

Oh goodness, it’s been awhile since I read those books, but probably.
I vaguely remember one story, either Sleeping Beauty or the princess trapped in a high tower. The point of the story began where the princess was raised to believe that all men are sexist pigs who you want nothing to do with, but one day the handsome prince shows up to rescue her, and there was a line that went something like, “And yet, she found herself strangely attracted to this hairy creature” or whatever. I thought it was funny stuff.

Oh yeah, I saw Rainman. Good movie.
Remember his obsession with Judge Whopner?
And how he was afraid to fly every air line (except for Qantas, which did the Tom Cruise character no good because Qantas only goes to Australia, and they needed a flight to somewhere in the USA)?
And I remember his constant picture taking, and I too thought it was pretty cool how they showed his photos at the end of the film.

I might be able to go one better than that: just about a month ago, I heard about a couple getting married where the husband took the wife’s last name for his own (I think this was in the USA).

re: #657 by CloudyDay
It’s a great movie!!!
I read an article later about the real life brother of an autistic man that Dustin Hoffman patterned his character on in the movie.
The brother and the autistic character coach were invited to a party when the movie premiered. The autistic man was talking to people and they were wondering how this man could do such a spot on impression of Dustin Hoffman in “Rainman” after only one viewing of the movie. He was being himself, of course.
The brother said that the experience changed his autistic brother. The autistic brother started calling him up on the phone on his own to chitchat (which is something he’d never done). He seemed closer after the movie experience.
It’s a pretty neat story!

And they didn’t even know who Chauvin was.

If the children of some of these couples end up getting married, they’ll have last names like:

I’ve never understood how people can do this while knowing that their kids may end up marrying people who also have hyphenated names. After a few generations, the names could have 20 or 30 hyphens in them.

OMG…one of your fellow offenders in that incident was a Senior at Wheeling the year before and a 1y med student at Pitt IIRC. It was after that Fall semster at a DC Christmas party that I heard about the after party and resulting sanctions. He was canned as a result wasn’t he? I could go on…..but wont here.
Didn’t Letterman or carson make a quip about that too…..I won’t detail that either.

I am a bit luckier. My Mom is now 87, and a life-long Dem, stemming from her Depression era childhood and FDR in WWII. In 2004, I argued long and hard with her to get her to vote for Bush; I succeded. In 2008, I had nothing to do. She has always hated liars, and Obama was big liar even to her ears. But, as I mentioned here months ago, far too many elderly vote Dem automatically as they are uninformed when it comes to the news as they have been spoonfed the news by the alphabet media all their lives. They are having a rude awakening now finding out their Government is waging war on them instead of America’s overseas enemies.

Have you seen their rating lately? FOX is running over them like an eighteen wheeler hitting a mountain bike. The gobament is going to have to give them a bailout if it continues. It’s funny really. They bitch and moan about how FOX is so radical, but they are the most popular by such a large margin. In recent polls they have determined that about 35% of FOX’s viewers are Democrats. I guess it’s because they are waycissts too.
From Gateway Pundit:
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Organization is holding a conference this week in Egypt.
No Jews are allowed.
Israel National News reported:
A United States-based organization’s conference on breast cancer awareness, to be hosted in Egypt, has been touted by international news networks as an example of “unprecedented cooperation” in the region. However, according to Channel 2 news, the celebration of unity may be premature, as Israeli doctors were told at the last minute that their invitations to participate had been rescinded.
The conference will be held in Alexandria, Egypt this week, under the auspices of the American group Susan G. Komen for the Cure – the world’s largest breast cancer advocacy organization. It is to include meetings between leading researchers from the U.S. and several Mideast countries.
Israeli doctors were invited to the event as well, and several had planned to attend. However, on Sunday night, the doctors received brief notices telling them that they were no longer invited to the conference, by order of Egyptian Health Minister Hatem el-Gabali.
The notices did not include an explanation of Gabali’s decision.
I am outraged. I will find other cancer associations to support, and I will explain to anyone soliciting for the Susan G. Komen fund why I no longer support them.

I mentioned elsewhere that 1.0’s comment numbers are going down faster than a $5 crack whore. And when I peeked over there recently, I saw the threads were populated by a small number of commenters. No diversity of opinion/life experience at all there now. To which I say, Good! Couldn’t happen to a better fascist asshat. Wonder how that tip jar begging working out? Funnny, but when one bans the productive, working commenters, one is only left with the ‘want more gub’mint cheese’ types.

Well yes, yes they can. Just witness who was elected by the people to the White House.
Five days ahead of the leftist pro-Israeli lobby J Street’s first National Conference in Washington, D.C., the controversies continue to mount. The Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren refuses to attend the conference, despite the open letter issued by the organization’s Executive Director Jeremy Ben-Ami; but over the weekend the lobby took one more step to appease critics.
The poetry session, featuring three artists – Kevin Coval, Tracy Soren and Josh Healey, scheduled as part of the “Culture as a Tool for Change” track, was canceled. Apparently, the event was nixed following a reminder by a conservative blogger that Healey, a Jewish activist and poet, compared Guantanamo prison to Auschwitz.

I’m new to this blog. I’ve noticed the tendency for conservatives to line up on the climate change skeptic side of the aisle and wonder why this is so? It’s very obvious in the US and here in Australia. It seems every well known conservative pundit doesn’t accept the science. How did this meme get started?
Hi, Newbie. This aspect of politics and science is very much tied to the other aspects of politics and science- like evolution and intelligent design. Some of the Big Money behind AGW groups is the same Big Money that funds other far right/theocratic groups. You can see this trend in just one of the large foundations, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. Scroll down and read their list, but the group behind a lot of AGW distortions is the Heartland Foundation- clear listed. It’s one small group of very rich people funding the right wing machine.
