OT – Chuck Norris wants to be President – OF TEXAS!
You just can’t make this shit up.

Down with Chuck Norris! Up the Peace & Rationality Revolution!
You know I asked here several times why such a large part of the stimulus bill was dedicated to electronic health systems and who was going to benefit. Not in a million years did I think it would be Walmart. I figured one of the larger HMO’s had to be behind all the $$$ in the stimulus for this move.
Go figure. Creepy. Walmart your health.
I agree that it was palin who made that interview anything more than routine. She fucked-up softballss she should have hit out of the park and babbled incoherently. Some of the questions were the exact same ones Couric asked Biden in an interview that, rightfully, wasn’t considered for any awards. Couric’s interview with Obama was more penetrating and substantive. It’s not remembered because the interviewee was not dumb as dogshit.
Joe Leiberman and Chuck Shumer were “concerned” about Chas Freeman not being a rabid pro Israel freak.

“fuck you chuck.”
(this works equally well whether one is referring to Mr. Norris, Mr. Todd, or Mr. Schumer)
we were discussing this downstairs, he goes public on his blog seriously advocating the overthrow of our government, a clear crime, also documented downstairs
Totally agree. I though schumer had a lot to answer for when he went to bat for mukasey, *ugh*, but now……………..words fail.
Has a nice ring to it. ;-)
Chuck Norris for Texas, Sarah Palin for Alaska…
okay, I just scared myself.
Ooops, sorry, I missed it. I should never blog before 7 AM.
Tell me if this makes sense? Roger Simon basically says ‘Card Check’ or ‘Employee Free Choice Act’ is not popular because only 12% of American workers are Union. There’s a reason for that, you dimwitted freaking stupid,…sorry, couldn’t resist. That’s why the bill is needed. Because Corporations and business owners have been successfully intimidating workers for decades making joining Unions increasingly difficult. Roger Simon is an Ass. Why are people being paid to say the stupidest, most ignorant things imaginable on mainstream television programs?
…seriously advocating the overthrow of our government, a clear crime,…
Is that really a crime when the one doing the advocating/instigating is a 69-year old white guy?
A push-back from the public would be healthy here. Objective means an ability to support and/or admonish an ally as needed…Not blind support. Lieberman wants blind support.
Nice that an Israeli spy is calling the shots. That alone needs to be pounded in the netroots.
Chuck, Chuck, bo, buck, banana, fana, fo……
EPUed from the last thread
In response to KayInMaine @ 74 (show text)
and then James’ wife was arrested for his murder.
Wait a minute are you saying that she shot her husband the FBI found radioactive stuff which they kept quiet about but only after the story leaked the wife was charged with shooting her husband?
The front pagers and the Lawyers on the Lake need to weigh in on this I am at a loss of where to begin which crime or act of stupidity would I start with?
Plus on the law side specific charges need to be addressed.
It’s a crime, I posted the code downstairs, will be back with it
quite the opposite, it’s a topic that should remain top and center all day
Is that really a crime when the one doing the advocating/instigating is a
69-year old white guyRepublican?There. Fixed.
‘zactly. That’s called…. what’s the name for that? It’s ass backwards, though. EFCA is meant to address a flawed system under which employees choose whether or not to have a union. Union membership is so low, in part, because of the very flaws EFCA seeks to address. I don’t know if that’s called a bootstrapping argument. But it’s stupid.
here ya go;
Of course it’s a real crime. He, 69 year old white guy, is really, really serious.
He must be a Russian spy seeing as a Russian predicted a break-up of our country starting in March 2009. Chuck Norriski is right on time with “the plan.”
she responded, I don’t know if she’s here so I’ll repost for her;
heh. I shoulda written ‘69-year old *rich* white guy’ – then no further editing would have been needed….
I was predicting the collapse of the economy about three years ago, I thought the collapse would happen the other way though, I thought there would be catastropic inflation
I didn’t think people would leave their homes because I thought inflation would take up the slack from the inflated bubble
the bubble burst before inflation took hold
20 years for all the right wing groups calling for overthrowing Obama and if Chuck is right about march well the FBI had to be warned when they found that Nazi with Uranium!
Anything happens in March and people get hurt UpChuck is going Down!
I think alot of wealthy are responsible, those in the media are the ones irresponsible
Of course it’s a real crime.
I must need a new keyboard – irony seems to not be getting through. Or maybe I’ve got some kinda filter set wrong….
the last thing we need to do is create a martor, a leader, and that leader is almost a real live comic book hero.
I think he should be embarrassed and called a traitor, that will do more harm to his reputation and influence
plus, who is going to hawk that great gym he’s hawking?
Ok I’m scared both that they tried to cover this up and now try to keep the wife quiet by arresting her and that the Judy Miller lies about WMD gets her a pulitzer Media WILL NOT REPORT THE TRUTH ABOUT A REAL WMD!
Jose Padilla in jail just for supposedly thinking/plotting to make one. What ever happened to the we can’t wait for proof to come in the form of a Mushroom Cloud!
Time to kick in Chuck’s door and every Nazi’s door! We have Uranium we have proof. Which is more than we ever had in Iraq!
Here’s the Russian professor’s words.
Shrub made a big deal about a lunatic plumber who was going to take down the Brooklyn bridge with a soldering iron or something.
She literally shot her husband in front of their 9 year old daughter and then shortly went to a neighbor’s house to call the police on herself. The police did not arrest her until AFTER the FBI document was leaked.
Maybe she trotted out the
Justifiable“Really, Really Embarrassing Homicide” defense?Okay, now you’re scaring me. Stop it!
He hurts or kills innocent people he goes down if the Nazi’s want to make him a martyr fine.
I’m surprised I didn’t hear about this;
I am sitting in the service waiting room, there’s feb. newsweek with the eye opening cover story;
”OBAMA’S VITENAM”, who to slavage afghanistan
that’s right, corporate media is trying to blame afghanistan on obama
well – ya gotta consider the source.
That probably made perfect sense to georgie.
And a real dirty bomber can’t even get a mention.
I have a family member who worships dear Chuck and sends us his books every Christmas. No irony. I think the man, Chuck, is cracked. Couple that with his “follower” base, and well, words fail me.
She’s a hero for shooting her husband and I think the police realized that early on. This is why they waited to arrest her AFTER the FBI document was released showing her husband had radioactive materials in his possession and the instructions to make a dirty bomb. I’m sure they’re hoping this document will persuade the jury into finding her innocent. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve already proclaimed her innocent. ;-)
Amber was in fear of her own life:
thanks for that. I didn’t know all the facts.
fyi – today’s hearing list at oxdown. kashkari to make a repeat appearance before kucinich’s subcommittee.
I was at work when the Bangor Daily News wrote their piece about Cummings & his radioactive/dirty bomb terrorism. Clif, who posts on my blog, did the following post:
http://whitenoiseinsanity.com/…..like-this/
And then Clif’s post was linked over at Booman Tribune:
http://www.boomantribune.com/s…..10649/1527
And slowly from there it’s getting some attention (Raw Story talked about it recently).
I find it very scary that a ‘wealthy Timothy McVeigh’ is exposed and the MSM says, “Boooooring!”.
Here’s a picture of Amber Cummings on the day she was arrested:

thanx selise, I miss me some kucinich
Satan rules the world and Chuck Norris will be President and Commander in Chief of Texas and (Mexico). All is well..sleep tight.
unless I’m reading it wrong – I don’t see that kucinich’s hearing is televised anywhere?
My response to you on the previous thread:
http://firedoglake.com/2009/03…..nt-1853034
Okay, going to work with the rest of the schmucks of America. Have a great day everyone!
you are most welcome perris. i still love this line from kucinich last november:
I just put up an Oxdown with more from the Glenn Beck conspiracy. These guys are starting to look pretty dangerous, so I’m hoping if we just laugh at them we can take them down a few notches.
its not on the cspan schedule of events to be covered today – but i’m assured by the nice people at cspan that they are covering it and it will be broadcast later today
for live coverage, there should be a feed from the committee website, but i didn’t confirm that with them. i’ll be going to the committee website and if that’s a no-go looking for it on cspan radio later in the day.
brutal!
i’ll post that comment at oxdown too in case anyone else is wondering….
Morning guys. That is an incredible story about our own dirty bomber, MSM way too quiet about it.
Christy’s up, her video will break you heart.
Blue Texan -
in the unlikely event you have not been following the Voter ID hearings in the Leg – bonus: Von Spakovsky is their ‘lead’ witness
loved the comments
Statesman
diminished capacity defense?
is there a giant douchebag defense?
Elliott !
The MSM has to be shamed into covering it.
last link in the post–the ‘uh-oh’ link–linked to a michael steele article–these comments were on there–really funny.

Dump ineffectual black guy, replace him with white supremacist.
Brilliant!

I suggest correspondence re the Homegrown Dirty Bomber to Rachel Maddow. She, or her staff, really DO read her e-mail, and a link-filled missive might get her on it. And from there . . . .

The markets don’t hate Obama’s policies
The markets hate the uncertainty hanging over the financial sector.
