You go after the Fox Stations and their FCC LICENSES when they come up for renewal.

We need to downsize the entire military. It’s pure waste and there is no real mission. But these guys into guns, plans, ships and missles just love their toys so much… they even have colleges devoted to militarism.

Weird that is.

People actually pay Billo $50 to comment? Damn, I’d rather take a cigarette lighter to it than give it to him!!!

Earlier today, I wondered to myself, “What kind of intellectually deficient baboon would pay fifty bucks to post on a message board?” And now I know!

I think Rush Blowhard has the same sort of”premium membership” thing too. And hey,in Rush’s case you get a newsletter too,so it’s a real bargain.

I will never buy another flower or another nail at Home Depot until this otherwise progressive and helpful company stops advertising on the politically neanderthal and intellectually poisonous FOX Channel. These FOX people (see O’Reilly, Hannity, et al, would have been the “good Germans” supporting Hitler during World War II — and Murdoch would have been a good Goebbels, too).

And printed Herr Goering, too — “Naturally, the common people don’t want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament. or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”

– Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich-Marshall, at the Nuremberg Trials

Remind you of America after 9/11, by any chance?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/ll and yet Bush and Co. managed to drag the American people into a War on Iraq by conflating it with a war on terrorism.

Hermann Goering taught them well. And the American people will still show up at Home Depot — until, of course, they realize they have been tricked by Fox and the fascists and the faux-patriots. Then, watch out, the commercial scene will grind to a halt and Home Depot will be called on the carpet for its reactionary corporate sins. Plywood is not just plywood, remember. And people remember the corporate sinners.

Do you really want to be on the reactionary, Murdochian side of history? Or do you want to help build the new, inclusive, and expansive America (where’s there a lot more money to be made)?

Make up your mind — Decrepit, old dying oligarch or a booming new future? Your choice, your money.

Ask yourself, will Rupert Murdoch live to capitalize on anything? To put it bluntly, the man is pushing ninety, ready to face a very, very, grim reaper. Or is he just a greedy King Lear howling at the Wall Street Journal? Whatever, he’s dead sooner than later and American capitalism must forge on. Just sayin’ you might start paying more attention to those of us who are going to be outlasting old Rupert. Boomers and the like.

Besides, he doesn’t really deserve Home Depot now, does he? Scaly old man gives me the creeps. “Beast from the Fox Lagoon” with underage sex turtle is what I see.

What about you?

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that regular RedState commenter who sent
white powder through the mail to various Democrats?
You know, the cheeto-stained middle-aged guy living in Mom’s basement?
That story seems to have been deep-sixed.

Would that the weird adult son of a southern CA republican? Names escape me though I believe he was arrested. oh never mind…..

Alfred was also working hard on a (long) new post.

Whoa. That’s quite a thought he has going there. I was wondering what Specter was up to with that comment today, but didn’t comprehend that Supreme Court justices are impeachable for the same reasons as presidents are – just because. Lying to the Senate about what they planned on doing when they became justices could be considered misbehavior in office, couldn’t it?

I’m late to the party again, but I’m catching up.

OMG!! That is exactly what I’ve been wondering about. God bless you!

Loo Hoo. @ 264

If you live in Robert Novak’s world, this is how it looks on Sara Taylor:

Taylor has been the most obvious target of a grand inquisition, but she is small game. The Democrats are after her former boss, senior presidential adviser Karl Rove, and beyond him, George W. Bush, whom they consider an illegitimate president. At a staff level, it is simply payback time for Democrats who remember when Rep. Dan Burton chaired the committee that Waxman now heads and sought e-mails revealing illegal foreign political contributions.

In effect, Novak claims to be able to know Waxman’s mind. Is this an aptitude he acquired when he converted to Catholicism — a gift from the Holy Spirit — or did he have it when he was still Jewish? Inquiring minds want to know.

It’s secret hoodoo handed down from one generation of intellectually lazy people to the next.
