Thanks Attaturk, been waiting for someone to bag the *ed, The Timesonline has a story of the above turkey’s predecessor’s record (not meaning to OT, really) that should be examined closely. Many historical links and David Frost is world class.

It would be of historical importance for the same be done to Reagan, 41Bush, Clinton, and 43Bush.

It is gratifying that the Reagan lies are being exposed and the reputation being reassessed.

Juan Cole has and nice summary of the present situation http://www.juancole.com/

here’s the sad part attaturk

there will be no honeymoon for obama, just as rush pounded clinton from the first day in office, obama will get it worse

we really need to get back that fairness doctrine and punish corporate media for buying our political discourse

obama gets no honeymoone

When you aint got nothin’ you gotta have somethin’.

Christopher Buckley wrote, “While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for.”

And Rush jumped right in to provide the answer.

It’s been a harsh time to be them.

It is gratifying that the Reagan lies are being exposed and the reputation being reassessed.

the biggest lie;

“reagan cut taxes”

in fact, reagan raised taxes more then any peacetime president before hime,

while doing that, he redistributed the tax burden from those who use the most of the system onto those that use the least

and that is the proper method for framing “progressive taxes” by the way, they are not being taxed at a higher percentage because they have more wealth, they are being taxed at that rate because they use a higher percentage of our resources

bing, that shuts their face pronto

I can tell buckley what the republican movement stands for, but he misses the point

fascists have co-opted the name of the republican party, these are not republicans they just use the name

It’s somewhat amusing how these ignorant right-wingers assume that Ayers is black.

Just a note, then away

It was Reagan’s Income Tax “simplification” plan that reduced the fields of taxation to just two from something like 29 (IIRC). This unleashed the grab for recompense by corporate management; prior ratio ranged from 20:1 to 40:1 (again IIRC), resulting to today’s 400+:1 or better. It also marked the takeover of the corporation by top management, ultimately resulting in unconstrained corporate agendas, the results also seen in the collapse of the economy today. The parallel with the ‘29 crash is in the massive amount of “liquidity” involved in speculation, all programs and laws to restrain such accumulation have been dismantled successfully.

And increased the national debt and increased the size of gummint. His handlers knew all about the “big lie” however and they had jingoism down flat. Good little fascists they were.

And to focus on Rush: how can anyone be that repulsive for so long, and still be on the air, attract attentive callers, etc. When I first got some wind of him years ago…mostly from the feminazi remark…I could not imagine folks would continue to listen to him. I am still amazed and hate the inference…he is rude to his callers and crude in his opinions. Go figure.

Good morning all, the decimation of the rethug party is underway, Is there going to be a realignment? If a landslide occurs it could be an opportunity for a teaching moment. Go after the hate perps attack the sleaze element.

Maybe some people are glad to find someone cruder and ruder than themselves?

From your link above Rush Limbaugh says this:

We thought that it was just liberal welfare policies and all that that kept blacks from progressing while other minorities grew and prospered, but no, it is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-American Afrocentric black liberation theologists with ACORN, and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it, they have been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country, and they trained their parents before that to hate, hate, hate this country. It was a movement. It was a Bill Ayers, anti-capitalist, anti-American educational movement. ACORN is how it was implemented, right under our noses. They’re doing far more, folks, than just cheating when it comes to elections and registration. They are in deep in this mortgage crisis. ACORN and Obama and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the Democrat Party, have their fingerprints all over the subprime mortgage crisis. The whole concept of affordable housing was people that can’t afford a mortgage are going to get one, because America is unfair.

It has been a movement, it has been a religion, and Obama and Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers were all up to their big ears in it.

——————————–

And so WTKK in Boston has its genius calling for true patriots to get together and work to impeach Obama, to make him unable to govern effectively.

If you listen to the whole 14:49 you will hear the plan. The fifth arrow (5:56) on the tape calls it the “bastard factory”. He attributes it to Barney Frank, Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd, Al Gore and everybody else giving your money ….

Arrow 6 (10:40) calls for true patriots to politically destroy Obama in advance of his administration. Destroy his ability to govern. An attack campaign against Obama is worthy of these patriots. Obama is King George and they are the minutemen. Profound task worthy of the patriotic one third. Start destroying Barack Obama’s politial credibility now and up to the election and work harder after the election. Work to impeach. We must become an American government in exile. We are the patriots. We must become an American government in exile… Barack Obama and those who support him are domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States.

——————————-

The WTKK genius who advocates that becoming a government in exile to work on impeaching Obama has worked for Pat Buchanan. He pushed GWB and Mitt Romney endlessly.

He was effective.

Here’s their plan:

There will be NO honeymoon.

I hope WTKK will be held responsible for the anarchy they are working to create.

Good morning, pups. It’s MoDo and Friedman today. MoDo, in “Those Hard-Boiled Eggheads,” has a question: Is Gov. Sarah Palin an embarrassment who should fade away or a promising wine picked before its time? Actually, dear, she’s a horrendous embarrassment who should be ridden back to Alaska on a rail, to be impeached by the fine people of Alaska. Mr. Friedman, in “Why How Matters,” states the shatteringly obvious. Well, at least it’s obvious to anyone with half a brain in his head. He says in the financial-services boom, bubble and bust, we got away from the basics — from the fundamentals of prudent lending and borrowing. No shit? Ya think???

http://mgpaquin.wordpress.com/

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got lemon poppy seed muffins just out of the oven. The first time I ever heard Rush was when we were driving from New York, where we still lived, down to Savannah to visit friends. The radio station we had been listening to faded out and we surfed until we found what we were convinced was a comedy routine. If only it had been… Have a great day.

At what point does the campaign to prevent an administration from governing become treason?

Simply the best visual and written interpretation of the doomed FED/Treasury bailout plan:

http://market-ticker.denninger…..-Hank.html

The Republican President demanded the bailout of his own failed policies, while Paulson threatened Martial Law if the Dems didn’t pass the bailout.

Morning pups. I’m not too worried about Limbaugh any more. If Obama wins the victory the polls seem now to predict, the Republican Party will be forced to disavow him and his kind as a matter of sheer survival. I’m also hopeful that a Democratic Congress will do something to reinstate the fairness doctrine. Something has to be done.

On thne remark by T-bear @26, I wasn’t aware of the tax changes that permitted or encouraged top management to take over and effectively loot the corporations they control, and would like to know more. There is no question in my mind that the take-over occurred. Schumer’s remarks yesterday to the effect that bankers’ outrageous compensation packages shouldn’t be touched is good evidence of it. There is what economists called a serieous ‘agency problem’ here.

1930’s History lab:

Replace Rush’s rants about liberals with the word jews, you get a feel for what it must have been like in 1930’s Germany.

Good morning everyone!

Rush Limbaugh had Sarah Palin on his show yesterday and after she spouted out all the right wing talking points, she ended her segment by saying (paraphrasing but not far off), “…and we (her and John) will work to make sure the government is on the side of our supporters”. And Rush said, “yeah” in a “Uh yeah, uh no, now wait a minute” kind of tone. It was beautiful!!!!

Yep, according to Sarah, she and Johnny want to make sure the government is taking control and is working hard for the people!

Where did Rush go wrong? Do they not have radios in Alaska? Bah hahahahahaha!

Good morning. Fox&Friends has a new topic (besides ACORN). The conversation between Obama and the plumber is being twisted and turned to make Obama the new Robin Hood. He’s going to ’steal’ from the rich to give to the poor.

Has everyone seen the following?

http://palinaspresident.com/

Bah hahahahaha! Have fun!

Good Morning! You are absolutely correct in your accessment of Palin. I just watched Kathleen Parker on Stephen Colbert’s show. It’s available at the Think Progress site. I wonder how long she’ll be allowed to write for the review.

Return to the Fairness Doctrine and enforce the Sherman anti-trust. Break up the media conglomerates.

Marion, Have you seen the new negative ad Saxby is running against Martin?

It is too early in the morning for this but neo-cons never sleep. Rushbo shows his racism on a daily basis. He is an expert on family values with three failed marriages and fortunately he has never brought children in the world with his defective gene pool.
Rush does support pedophiles if they are Republicans. He also supports pedophiles. (Excuse the linky, first time linking to him but his whole show yesterday was one big pile of steaming macaca.)

Nobody is surprised at the difference in treatment from the

By the way, I remember something on the Foley case, not that it matters now, but I was very suspicious about this when it happened because pages are teenagers. Here’s this guy strutting around and he’s obviously gay and he’s giving them some kind of indication — I think they’re playing practical jokes on him. I think they’re sending him text messages and he’s responding to it and so forth. But I think the pages started all that. No excuse here for Foley, but this is clearly an instance of immorality far worse than Foley. Foley never touched one of these kids, never did anything with them

No, but I rarely watch commercial TV. I’ll see if I can Google it after work. Saxby is a toad.

Frank33, I agree about Rush’s show yesterday pandering to the racists of our country. Rush has come unhinged because his party is being exposed for what it truly is at it’s heart and Rush is just spewing & spitting in all directions hoping there’s something he can say to cover it up! Well, he’s having a very hard time covering up his own racism and whacked right wing ideologies. Bah hahahahahahaha! Evil is flooding out of these people. There is no plug big enough to dam it up.

Basically it says that Martin is a crook, yada, yada, yada. Martin has been on the air with commercials for awhile so IMO, it’s to late for Saxby the redefine him.

Rush has come unhinged

Hell’s bells and codfish, darlin’, ain’t no “come unhinged” about it; he’s been unhinged from birth!

Buenos dias,

here’s Washington Journal:
7:30am – Wayne Abernathy, American Bankers Association, Financial Institutions Executive Director
8:30am – George Farah, Open Debates, Executive Director
9am – Susan Drucker, Hofstra University (NY), Journalism & Media Studies Professor
9:30am – Jim Tankersley, Chicago Tribune, National Correspondent

Yep! That jaw of his has been a hangin’ and a flappin’ for years now!

I’m loving that CBS/NYT poll. 53/39 Obama. But, being the natural worrier that I am, I’ll be happier after Obama gets through tonight’s debate without a hitch.

What would the world sound like without: rock & roll, jazz, blues, gospel, ragtime, soul, funk, R&B, or even metal (jimi hendrix)?

They claim America’s Talented’s achievements as their own yet only disgrace America daily.

I’m not expecting a trainwreck

You would think that someone who spends so much time
with dark-skinned young women in the Dominican Republic
would have greater empathy for their problems.

I like the comparison someone made to the Star Trek characters. Palin was a tribble.

Remember that Dodd and Schumer compromised to get the Gramm-Leach-Bliley passed.
Schumer is protecting those that profited from the repeal of part of Glass-Steagal.
He is speaking in favor of the dogs he helped unleash…likely he has been making money with/from these bankers all along.

Rush and empathy is an oxymoron

This is from Politico. Let your minds wander and imagine McCain walking near the red carpet.
When McCain left the Hilton hotel in midtown this evening, he practically walked into the red-carpet premiere of Oliver Stone’s new movie, “W.”

According to early reviews, the movie paints an unflattering picture of the current administration – one McCain is trying to move as far away from as possible.

But there was no escaping this timing: The McCain motorcade was lined up right next to fans holding signs with the slogan: “W. A life misunderestimated.”

BT at swim, above

That is so funny. Thank you

…and he is an oxycontin moron…

Attaturk
Question is how to prevent this vile seed from blossoming.
It’s become clear to me there’s two extremes in this country.
A good guess is 30% (3 in 10) are guiltless about the treatment of fellow human beings. Another 30% are very concerned about the whole of humanity and in an adult way understand to have it all means some have to do without and would rather share from the plenty The center 40% could care less because they are so misinformed from the major media.
The bottom 30% that are guiltless rather adores violence instigated among and at others. They aren’t above shooting up the place (think blackwater shooting up Baghdad while passing through) and ending an argument by killing the opposition ie. Kennedy (both).
So my point is Rush is setting up the next Clinton Presidency in terms of not being able to forward the agenda and at worst inflaming the fringe lone nut to pull the trigger and if that happens no one will be able to govern.
This is the final chapter of the civil war where we determine weather all God’s children are equal or go with white over bright.

LOL. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

Hysterical, huh? Well, I have a feeling the little Palin game isn’t too far from the truth which makes it scary. LOL

Rush and his ilk are nothing more than “mental masturbating shills”. His criticisms are nothing more than talking to hisself in ther mirror.
