GOP GURU: “TRUMPS FANS ARE SINGLE MEN WHO MASTURBATE TO TO ANIME”

Rick Wilson, a GOP strategist calumniated supporters of Donald Trump on Tuesday, painting them as anti-Semitic lacking ambition, Crooks and Liars reported.

“The fact of the matter is, most of them are childless single men who masturbate to anime,” Wilson told MSNBC host Chris Hayes. “They’re not real political players. These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity.”

The GOP, Wilson insisted, is still being driven by the belief in a limited-government platform.
“I don’t think that this other stuff that Trump is toying with is part of the mainstream conservative movement by any stretch of the imagination,” he added.
“The question to me is, this is all going to be tested, right?” Hayes responded. “I agree with you; there are large parts of people who are avowed Republicans and conservatives who genuinely care about limited government. But what we’re seeing right now is this sort of electoral test. And that’s what makes today so fascinating, this fight so fascinating.”
Hayes noted that, as The Week reported, “paleo-conservative” columnist Samuel Francis advised then-presidential candidate Pat Buchanan to pursue a line of rhetoric similar to Trump’s in 1996.
“[Francis] basically said, ‘Your best path is just get rid of all the conservatism — all the limited government, deficits, all that stuff — and just go whole hog on, essentially, ethno-nationalism.”
What The Week’s Michael Brendan Doughterty argued, the host said, was that Trump’s rise over more established politicians in the polls showed “just how thin the support for their ideas really is.”

VIDEO COURTESY OF CROOKS AND LIARS



“I think that’s absurd,” Wilson replied, arguing that support for limited government principles constituted a “very significant portion of the party.” 
“The screamers and the crazy people on the all-right as they call it, you know, who love Donald Trump, who have plenty of Hitler iconography in their Twitter icons and names,” he continued. 
“They sure do. I can back that up,” Hayes replied.

MAHER CONFRONTS MSNBC WITH ITS INCESSANT NON-STOP COVERAGE OF DONALD TRUMP LOVING DONALD TRUMP

Bill Maher made an appearance last night on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, and when the topic of Trump being given so much coverage came up, Maher let them have it: On MSNBC, Bill Maher Calls Out MSNBC’s Coverage of Trump’s ‘Rambling Brainfarts:




Maher also blasted Matthews for their continual scandal mongering over Hillary Clinton's emails and said she can't win for losing when it comes to yielding to the demands of the Republicans, and the media for that matter.

DANA LOESCH ELUDES QUESTIONS ON MSNBC'S ED SHOW

WINGNUT DANA LOESCH CAN'T ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS PUT TO HER


It's very difficult to present both sides of an issue when one of those sides is composed of Dana Loesch, a conservative wingnut who is well known for misinformation, blatant lies, interruptions and shouting matches.

The Ed Show attempted just such a feat yesterday with disastrous results. Delusional talking points from uneducated loud mouths can't replace reality.

Watch the freight train below that is Dana Loesch

VIDEO COURTESY OF MSNBC




Loesch says she is doing Schultz a favor by being on his show. As if! This from a woman who enjoys pissing on dead corpses of dead enemy soldiers.

Fact, Loesch is a D-list hack, but an A-list asshole. The difference between a woman and a troll - Krystal Ball is the woman, Loesch would be the troll.

Anytime Loesch gets her fifteen minutes of fame on cable news, it often ends in shouting matches - always eluding facts and answering questions with a question.

In typical tea bagger fashion, Loesch is "frothy-at- the-mouth", smug, and argumentative.

What often disturbs me about Loesch, like most of her ilk - they are all college drop outs that have zero SME [Subject Matter Expertise] on any topics that she argues on.

Why give this clueless dipshit hack a microphone on MSNBC [almost as bad as Chris Hayes the other night inviting the KKK Imperial Wizard to speak on killing protesters in Ferguson] ? If I want a wing nuts version of reality I'll go over to bullshit mountian [Fox] or the Blaze and [shudder] to read their non-whimsical bullshit. Then, of course, after viewing a Loesch segment, scrub and rinse often.

This segment on the Ed Show provided to us two great answers, never ever ask Loesch to be on your show, and the other is that you just can't fix stupid.

Loesch's history - her modus operandi if you will is too:
"never answer the question that is proposed to you, only answer the question that you wish had been asked of you."
The old adage of:
"when you can't dazzle with brilliance baffle with bullshit" always applies to Dana Loesch.
I am quite positive that in Loesch's mind, that after exiting stage left, that she thinks she accomplished her directive from Glenn Beck - but actually, in reality, her refusal to answer the simple questions put to her spoke volumes about her - more than anything she did say.

Like Glenn Beck [her current boss], like her pervious boss, the dead Breitbart, Loesch is an idiot with a right to spew what ever lies that suits the moment, ir-regaurdless if facts are involved or not. Loesch and her ilk:
"never let facts get in the way of a good story"
To Ed Schultz, why even have this robot on his show in the first place? Like all the rest of these media trolling conservatives, she's built her career out of being a professional bullshit artist and a journalistic hack. You might as well have just invite a Beck, Breitbart, or Koch whore sock puppet.

Congrats Dana, for about the hundredth time at NFTOS, you are my asshat of the day.

BLACKMAIL IN HOBOKEN NJ? SAY IT ISN'T SO GOVERNOR!

BLACKMAIL NOW IN CHRISTIE'S BAG OF TRICKS?


Move over, Bridgegate. The Christie administration is now accused of using blackmail in Hoboken, telling Mayor Dawn Zimmer that she would not get Sandy aid for her town unless she approved a real estate project pushed by the Christie administration.

Zimmer, appearing on MSNBC this morning, said that Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Rich Constable each made the threat in person, explicitly linking Sandy aid for Hoboken, which was 80 percent under water after the storm, to her approval of a real estate project pushed by the Rockefeller Group, a New York firm represented by David Samson, a Christie intimate who is chairman of the Port Authority.

Is it true? Michael Drewniak, the governor's acerbic spokesman, scoffed at the idea. But then again, that's what Drewniak does. When he was first asked about Bridgegate, he called that accusation crazy. A spokesman for Constable denied it, but Constable himself assumed his usual position under the covers with no comment.

Zimmer says she's ready to take a lie detector test and challenged Guadagno and Constable to do the same. She showed TV-host Steve Kornacki diary entries expressing her shock and disappointment at the time, and multiple emails from Christie's crew pushing for approval of the project.

This one is beyond ugly. Because in the end, Zimmer did get shorted. Hoboken got $342,000, a pittance for a town that was 80 percent under water after the October 2012 storm. She had requested $127 million.

This is a credible charge. Zimmer is describing the same kind of thuggish behavior from the Christie administration that we saw during Bridgegate.

But this one cuts deeper. Leaving people stranded in horrid traffic for four days is bad enough. But denying aid to victims of Sandy as a means of leverage against an elected official is simply revolting. And surely illegal.

Time for U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman to jump on this. And the Legislature should ramp up an investigation as well.

In the meantime, what about it, Ms. Guadagno? If you are telling the truth, why don't you belly up and take that lie detector test? And how about you, Mr. Constable?

Did governor Kripsy Kreme hold super-storm Sandy relief funds hostage? If so, this by far trumps the "Bridge Over River Hubris" scandal.

Like all things tea bagger, I am sure Darrell Issa, and Lindsey Graham will somehow be able to tie all this to Obama and Benghazi.

Wiley Coyote Tries To Light Fuse On The Acme Scandals, And They Just Won't Go Off. Beep, Beep!

FROM PAGE 141 OF IRS TRANSCRIPTS


Who knew? Who knew that Darrell Issa was a lying schmuck? You didn't have to be Einstein to know that as time went on - that this IRS scandal would backfire on the American Taliban.

And just like with the Benghazi emails, the full transcripts have been released, [an oh shit moment for Issa] and they  reveal that there was absolutely no testimony or evidence that supports the right-wing lie that the White House was behind these actions.


NEVER LET FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY

Video Courtesy of MSNBC




Darrell Issa, in typical deceiving GOP fashion, knew this. That’s why he continued to delay the release of these transcripts, which decimated every conspiracy Republicans have tried to levy against the President.

Yesterday’s release from Representative Elijah Cummings contains the full transcripts that show the White House had absolutely nothing to do with this issue in the Cincinnati office.

Even the fallacy that there was an overwhelming number of “conservative groups” targeted was a lie. This graph shows that only 96 of the 298 groups listed were “conservative groups,” totaling about one-third within this investigation. But when you heard it from the American Taliban, this was some kind of direct attack against the tea bagger, even though there’s no evidence supporting this whatsoever.

In fact, there is an over abundance of evidence to show that Issa knowingly tried to conceal specific pieces of evidence from being released, while allowing specific comments to be “leaked” by his staff, perpetuating his lies that the White House was behind this.

Just like with Benghazi, the real story is much less eventful than what the American Taliban wants Americans to believe. And just like with Benghazi, the possible criminal activity doesn't come from the White House, but from within the American Taliban. Their concealment of factual information which easily debunks the lies which they were using to mislead the American public is now public, for all to see.

Benghazi’s “conspiracy” really stems from who edited the initial emails that the GOP used to build their attack on President Obama and Hillary Clinton, while the IRS “conspiracy” seems to be about why Issa continued to perpetuate a lie - a lie that had no merit and zero factual backing to support his claim.

The American Taliban cares little about facts —their number one mission, to point blame at the African American in the oval office. No matter what the cost, "pin the tail on the donkey"!

One has to wonder why Issa was so eager to keep this information from public view?

It's going to take some time to review the transcript in detail, but at this point, it looks like the IRS controversy, which was on shaky ground before, has almost completely been flushed down the toilet..

If, upon further review, these transcripts reinforce the perception that Issa tried to mislead the public, it's the California tea bagger and not the Obama administration, that will have some explaining to do!

Related: Issa furious over release of transcripts.

Darrell Issa proves to self, yep I am a schmuck!

WANKING FETUSES: MAN OF FEEL

DO NOT DISTURB, FETUS MASTURBATING

Even as House Speaker John Boehner insists daily that jobs are the GOP ers number one concern and objective - yet we see to often, and we hear too little - zero job bills being sent to the President for signature - and more and more we are bombarded with the American Taliban's urinary incontinence from their mouth and constipation of their brain. with regards to immigration reform, LGBT rights and women's body parts. This group of Neanderthals, they continue down the destructive path to everyone despising them, everyone that is but the pasty white men [and Marsha Blackburn] whom concoct these narrow minded ideologies.

Rachel Maddow opened her show last night taking the American Taliban to task for their continuing insistence on fighting for stricter and stricter anti-abortion laws, culminating in the GOP-led House passing a huge federal anti-abortion ban bill last night.

VIDEO COURTESY OF MSNBC

Maddow said the GOP attempted to try and put out a more articulate voice by letting Marsha Blackburn push for the abortion bill. However, on MSNBC, Blackburn said that when women report rapes, it gives police people to track down and bring to justice.

Maddow then added “House Republicans effectively forcing you to use your uterus and access to it as a means of helping the police with their investigations.”

"Fetal Masturbation"? What medical school do these American Taliban congressmen go to? The same one from the movie "Dead Ringers"?

RELATED Marsha Blackburn Pandering?



This "do good-er" seems so shocked, really Blackburn?

The Wizard of Oz is 70 yrs old, and oh how times have changed. Today if Dorothy where to meet men with no heart, no brains, or no testicles, she wouldn't be in Oz, she'd be in the GOP lead house of representatives!

My question is, if fetuses can truly masturbate, why are we all not blind?

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE


Many things that the American Taliban does bothers me, but nothing is more disturbing to me in circa 2013, than old pasty white cavemen, deciding what women can and can't do with their bodies.

Watch the below two clips, if this disgusting pattern of the GOP does not disturb you, does not set a fire in your belly, does not get your "fanny perprindicular" for the cause of women's rights, then you are as callous and outdated as the American Taliban er!

Let the videos roll!

WHICH WACKO-BIRD TAKES THE CROWN OF THE TIN FOIL HATS?

WHO SHALL GARNER THE COVETED TIN FOIL HAT OF THE GOP


Who is going to lead the GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare for the 38th time?

If you have not heard; been living under a rock, the queen "wacko-bird" is stepping down from office, and the number one query of America is, who takes the thrown to wear the crown jewel......who gets to wear the coveted grand poobah of tin foil hats?

The American Taliban's inability to grasp basic facts — their inability to recognize that they have a problem with facts... speaks to a broader problem, and now that the thrown is being vacated, who in this band of idiots will be the next fearless leader, the next town fool - to make a mockery of these great United States?

Below we pay homage [via MSNBC's evening line up], to the idiot that is Michele Bachmann. Bachmann's mistakes where often offensive, frequently outrageously callous, and recurrently dangerous. Bachmann is the type of "patriot" this country can do without.

The queen of the tin foil is hat is a prime example of stupid run amuck, a special kind of stupid if you will, "where everything on the internet must be true " kind of stupid.

Out of the lunatics in tin foil hat land, I like Ted Cruz chances best to take the reigns of the wacko birds, because we need another Bachmann - and while many fit the bill of "wacko-bird", Ted Cruz finds it a compliment. This is the kind of douche bag we need dawning the head dunce cap, by means of brilliant deduction, empirical wisdom if you will, Cruz is the guy for the job.

Ted " Brylcream Creem a little dab will do you" Cruz stands out alone to me as the sole heir to the American Taliban thrown, his ignorance is amassed by none, his chutzpah is historical, and his willingness to stand before America and be as clueless as Bachmann - is categorically epic!.

Below are six videos courtesy of MSNBC, which look at the legacy of Bachmann; and
a new successor to the tin foil thrown:

MEDIA FIRESTORM



Veteran newsman Ted Koppel appeared as a special contributor to NBC’s “Rock Center” on Thursday to launch an apparent war on what he believes is “partisan ranting” masquerading as news coverage at Fox News, MSNBC and other partisan media.



Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy




I disagree with Koppel on many issues, MSNBC's afternoon and evening shows do not pretend to be news; they are pure unadulterated commentary. Faux News pretends to be news, but is also commentary. That is a major difference. One can live with both so long as there is no deception. Fixed Noise deceives. Fair and balanced it is not. News it is not.

MSNBC is open about what its shows are, and it does not invoke "fear" in its viewership with lies, incendiary rhetoric, "Egypt Caliphate conspiracy theories", nor does it have a "Michelle Malakin", whom often is spitting, seething and drooling into the camera every night.








Looking back on TV history, this type point/counter point began long ago starting with shows like "Meet the Press" "McLaughlin Group" and "60 minutes" - that showed there was an actual market for this political discussion in addition to gotcha journalism.

Blaming MSNBC for "degenerating " politics is ridiculous. Saying that it has effected the ability for Congress to do it's job is more than ridiculous. The reality is, news is a business. What people are craving now is honest news, commentary based on facts - not full of fecal matter.

There was a basic false equivalency in comparing MSNBC to Fixed News, and that difference is Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch. Anyone who has seen the documentary film "Outfoxed" knows that what Faux does differs fundamentally from how MSNBC operates.

OUTFOXED



Faux News lies and uses predetermined talking points that come from the corporate suites - the opinions on MSNBC are those of the individual commentators. Furthermore, the standards of people Koppel threw under the bus are far loftier than the hacks on Faux News. Political voices like Rachel Maddow, Ed Shultz, Rev. and Al Sharpton [MSNBC] use facts to express opinion, not political directives from on high.

The piece also made a false equivalency in trashing the many straight news journalists that are to be found on MSNBC for most of the daytime broadcasting schedule. It was unfair to people such as Chuck Todd, Tamron Hall, Thomas Roberts, Alex Witt, Andrea Mitchell and others who present straight news. You will never find Faux news minions with the same journalistic professionalism.

While MSNBC may have a liberal slant in its opinions, it does not make up crap out of whole cloth like Faux News.

LIES AND SUPRESSION, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF GOP POLITICS

Below are two videos that should be a wakeup call to Americans, minorities, and women. An insider speaks candidly to the Rev on GOP politics - radical tea bagger style.



Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy




"We have no proof to support Robme’s welfare attack"

The ad is blatantly false; a fabrication critics say is aimed at stirring up resentment toward people of color. Yet, amid a flurry of negative speculation in the media over why Romney refuses to release his tax returns, the deceptive welfare attack has suddenly emerged at the very epicenter of the Republican’s struggling presidential campaign.
And yet, if the above videos are not pungent enough for you, listen to Eye of Newt “moon unit” Gingrich:





The number of Americans reliant on government assistance to buy food grew by more than 70 percent between 2008 – 2011, driven by a lack of jobs and the unavailability of credit as the country grappled with a near total economic collapse at the end of President George W. Bush’s second term.

Despite the nearly unprecedented economic pressure on working class Americans, President Obama did not scrap a rule that requires welfare beneficiaries to look for work. Instead, the administration gave states the option to waive federal welfare work rules if officials come up with a plan that can increase employment among the poor even more.

All this utter bullshit from the radical tea baggers, is there anything beneath them, is there a point where they stop the lies and deceit? Probably not, stay tuned and watch closely as this desperate group comes unglued before our very eyes.

BYE - BYE PAT BUCHANNAN


Loosen the hat Pat

MSNBC fired Pat "Racist" Buchannan the other day for being......racist ("the end of white America") All the GOP ers are in uproar, not because this pasty white old man is racist, but because MSNBC knew Pat was a repugnant POS well prior to hire, so then it's ok to be a racist, and Pat is just evoking his right to "freedom of speech".


Reich-Wingers cry foul on Pat's ousting:

This is the thing with teapublicans, they defend everything vile in our society, it doesn't matter what the content is, "it's a violation of freedom of speech". So, Pat's blatant nasty snide remarks are right up the GOP's alley.

Move video to 3:13

GOP ers are well versed with two amendments of the US constitution, after one and two, it's a toss up or stretch to say they could get past three without scratching their heads and saying, "how many amendments are there? (twenty seven).

Freedom of speech and toting guns, after that, the hell with the constitution!


GOP Constitution


SIDEBAR: A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, and how quickly teapublicans forget, weren't they the very ones screaming and chanting union busting laws in Wisconsin, and hyping the fantastic idea of "Right to Work" laws?

I own two corporations in Virginia, which is a right to work state, which means in essence, both employee and employer have the right to leave, fire, at will, without cause. Hence, bye-bye Pat.

Be careful what you ask for I say. Pat was fired because MSNBC wanted to rid itself of this pungent nasty old man. Nothing more be said, what irritates the right is that it's one less nasty foul mouthed radical to be heard from.

Those on the right ask what was wrong with Buchannan's book, exactly? Its critics have labeled it racist, anti-Semitic, and homophobic. It doesn't matter WTF it was, you have served your purpose as "useful idiot", now take your pink slip and hit the curb!

A little history on Pat Buchannan:

1. Wanted to close the borders to protect white dominance. As he wrote in his 2006 book State of Emergency: “If we do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and built.”

2. Blamed lower test scores on minorities. In his most recent book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?, he blames minorities for dragging down the country’s test scores. “[T]he decline in academic test scores here at home and in international competition is likely to continue, as more and more of the children taking those tests will be African-American and Hispanic.

3. Claimed Jerry Sandusky’s atrocities are because of “Homosexual marriage.” Buchanan appeared on a right-wing radio show on November 15 to make some convoluted comparisons: “Let’s take this Penn State thing…these horrors, there’s an organization that marches in the gay pride parade in New York called—used to—called the North American Man Boy Love Association, which advocated voluntary sex along the lines of exactly what was going on at Penn State. Many of our political icons have marched in that parade right behind that NAMBLA float […] This is now, homosexual marriage is now the civil rights cause of the decade.”

4. Said the Jewish population in the United States dropped in the 90s because Jews aborted all their babies. Buchanan explains that the decline in the American Jewish population during the 1990s (a decline that a Brandeis study says never occurred), “is a result of the collective decision of Jews themselves. From Betty Friedan to Gloria Steinem in the 1970s to Ruth Bader Ginsburg today, Jewish women have led the battle for abortion rights. The community followed.”

5. Asserted Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people including 69 teens in Norway, “may have been right.” Buchanan called Breivik a coward, evil, and cold-blooded, and then proceeded to defend his twisted rationale for the killings: “As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right.”

6. Claimed that all great nations punish the gays. In a Human Events column, Buchanan attacked California’s 9th Circuit Judge Vaughn Walker after his ruling of Proposition 8 as unconstitutional as a “judicial tyrant,” before going on to explain that “through history, all the great religions have condemned homosexuality and all the great nations have proscribed or punished it. None ever placed homosexual liaisons on the same plane as traditional marriage, which is the bedrock institution of any healthy society.

7. Penned “The Affirmative Action Nobel.” That’s the title of Buchanan’s October 13, 2009 column on Townhall.com in which he claims that President Obama’s Nobel Prize was simply the result of affirmative action. And the column only got worse from there: “They have reinforced the impression that Obama is someone who is forever being given prizes — Ivy League scholarships, law review editorships, prime-time speaking slots at national conventions — he did not earn.”

8. Argued that Poland and the United Kingdom had it coming in World War II. Buchanan seems to suggest in a 2009 column that World War II—and all the atrocities that accompanied it—was really the fault of Poland and Britain, for refusing to engage in diplomacy with Germany. “Why did Warsaw not negotiate with Berlin, which was hinting at an offer of compensatory territory in Slovakia? Because the Poles had a war guarantee from Britain that, should Germany attack, Britainand her empire would come to Poland’s rescue.”

9. Dabbled in Holocaust denial. Pat Buchanan danced alarmingly close to denying key facts of the Holocaust. In a 1990 column for the New York Post, he defended convicted Nazi war criminal Ivan Demjanjuk (whom he later compared to Jesus Christ) against charges from Holocaust survivors that he was guilty of murder by accusing the survivors of misremembering all of it: “This so-called ‘Holocaust Survivor Syndrome’ involves ‘group fantasies of martyrdom and heroics.’ Reportedly, half of the 20,000 survivor testimonies in Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem are considered ‘unreliable,’ not to be used in trials[…]The problem is: Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody.”

10. Argued Hitler was an individual of “great courage.” That’s just one of the quotes that the Anti-Defamation League attributes to Buchanan in their compendium of offensive remarks from Buchanan over the years. In 1977, he qualified his labeling of Hitler as racist and anti-semitic by adding that “he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him[…]His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path.”
"So now MSNBC tries to take the moral high ground. Too little, too late. They shouldn’t have hired him; firing him now just shows how opportunistic they are. He finally became inconvenient to them. Too little, too late."
"In the end, those perpetuating this abridgment of speech are the biggest losers."

Teapublicans and any other "conservative" always play the blame game, "woe-is-me", take responsibility for your actions.

What a breath of fresh air, this racist, racist, racist, racist, racist now has time to reflect and research why racism will not be tolerated circa 2012.

Bye - bye Pat, you nasty old racist!


Teapublicans have:

Pissed off Gays and lesbians - check
Pissed off African Americans - check
Pissed off Latino Americans - check
Pissed off Female Americans - check

Sean Hannity, Intellectual Powerhouse, Or Just Another Idiot?

Hannity proving at an early age that his life long dream and abition is to be a troll


Sean Hannity, yes the same idiot who claimed that every single one of the millions of WMD that Saddam Hussein allegedly had was "smuggled" out of the country and into Syria "completely undetected by the CIA, NSA or the U.S. military - and that's why there were none found after we invaded Iraq.

And research shows that this was:

After Hans Blix and the UN weapons inspectors said there were no WMDs in Iraq, and

Before the White House itself admitted there were no WMDs in Iraq in 2006

So as not to outdo himself, Hannity takes stupid to another level, and Ed Shultz of MSNBC fame is there to point out the insanity of it all.

Shultz PAWNING Sean Hannity:



Typical Hannity, his is not just a liar, he's pathological. Sean is a national pariah when it comes to this type of hype and deceit, (Something Roger Ailes of Faux News encourages) and its obvious that Sean is in way over his head here. This goes well beyond his normal level of anti-Obama derangement.

Sean Hannity's motto:
"Never let facts stand in the way of a good partisan screed."


And you wonder and ask yourself why Faux News viewers are the dumbest on earth?

You don't have to watch Sean very long to know he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. The endless lies that spew from Sean are a plethora:

Hannity Lies

"The Blowhard Next Door"


So I ask you readers, is Sean Hannity an intellectual powerhouse, or just another idiot?

Rick Tyler Carpet Bombing, Racist Style

WRITTEN BY THE GOP

Al Sharpton and Rachel Maddow had an explosively caustic argument with former Newt Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler about the candidate's approach to race on Tuesday night, in which Tyler himself used some very dicey rhetoric about African Americans.

Both MSNBC hosts had previously excoriated Gingrich for calling POTUS the "Entertainer In Chief" and telling him to "stop singing" during his speech just after his loss in the Florida primary, saying that he was attempting to tap into racial animosity from white conservatives. Maddow took that concern directly to Tyler:
"MSNBC ought to get off this race baiting kick," he said, adding that the teapublican Party has a "proud history" of fighting for civil rights going back to the Civil War.

"I don't get it!" Tyler said. "...The Democrats have failed in the public schools with African Americans. They abort their babies, they've done nothing to lift them out of poverty." He said Gingrich was just trying to show black voters that he wasn't going to "give them a handout, tell them to live in public housing, shut up, collect a check and vote for a Democrat." He also said that he thought Sharpton would agree with him about many of these points.

Rev Al jumped in to make it clear just how little he really concurred:

"Newt Gingrich is the one who brought race up!" he said. "...He's brought race in the campaign by name. You cannot then turn around and act like Rachel or I are bringing up race."

Tyler's words are "Coded" to the very core - the epicenter of race baiting and racism!





The nature of creatures can not be changed with language. The questions asked: "Entertainer in chief, food stamp president," were racially charged phrases. People do not use those sorts of terms blithely. Gingrich and his minions are a tacit, plotting lot who choose their terms to some ends. Debating on television, feeds the energies on both sides. But most intelligent viewers know that Gingrich is appealing to redneck Southern white folks who detest an African American President and African American people.

This battle was lost before it began. The Reverend served progressives well, asserting that the Tyler's of this world be held accountable for the bullshit that they spew. I can not count the times the I have said that "freedom' of speech" guts a human worse than a fifty caliber machine gun. Freedom of speech can be a dangerous two-edged sword, especially when expatiated from the vocal chords of radical white teapublicans!

Former President Bill Clinton warned of a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like that of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, saying "the words we use really do matter."

Clinton goes on to say:
"I'm glad they're fighting over health care and everything else. Let them have at it. But I think that all you have to do is read the paper every day to see how many people there are who are deeply, deeply troubled," he said.

There's been nothing more racially divisive from a national teapublican in the past five years - than what Gingrich is doing. Gingrich, the GOP and Tyler, are offensive tubs of industrial-strength rotting vegetation.

Joan Walsh called it the teapublican id unleashed. I'd say that might start to describe it, but it's something more than that. It's as though the last 30 years of barely-veiled hate has bubbled up and is erupting like a volcano filled with the hottest, mephitic disgusting offal we've seen. They're spewing it all over the nation, because they're that frenzied to see our first African-American President fail.

A very special shout-out to Reverend Al for calling it what it is, and standing up for what's right. He was steadfast and resolved with his rapid fire responses.

Closing with a Clinton quote:
"By all means keep fighting, by all means, keep arguing," he said. "But remember, words have consequences as much as actions do, and what we advocate, commensurate with our position and responsibility, we have to take responsibility for.

YOUR FIRED!

Politifacts Can't Handle The Truth
PolitiFacts' Pants On Fire: Who Will Fact-Check The Fact-Checkers? 

NFTOS has disconnected itself from "politifact" a long time ago as a source of "facts", and finally someone else in MSM who has the chutzpah to do the same.

FACT:

"A fact (derived from the Latin Factum, see below) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be shown to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments." ~ Wikipedia

Rachael Maddow this week blasted the "fact checking" organization for frequent "inconsistencies" in their "truth-O-meter, and true facts.

MSNBC's Rachael Maddow:
"PolitiFact, you are fired. You are a mess! You are fired! You are undermining the definition of the word fact in the English language by pretending to it in your name. The English language wants its word back. You are an embarrassment. You sully the reputation of anyone who cites you as an authority on fact-ishness, let alone fact. You are fired."


NFTOS Editor-In Chief Roger West told me when he hired me:
"readers come to our blog seeking facts, and the “importance of facts” is critical to repeat readership - indisputable fact is the best thing you can have in a debate. Especially when the other side insists on making up their own facts."

Message received loud and clear boss!

DEADBEAT DAD

Teapublican Congressman Joe "DEADBEAT DAD"Walsh 


Tea Party freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who has spent months lecturing President Obama and Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes $117,437 in child support to his ex-wife and three children.

Teabagger Joe has spurned the ire of many Americans, especially those from Illinois, and rightly so - as Illinois lawmakers have proposed a bill, which would forbid people owing more than ten thousand dollars for child support to be able to run for office.

 
BASHIR OWNING WALSH:





Hear the new face of the radical conservative movement cheer letting people without heath insurance die, Cheer executions even when the person is found innocent, They believe if you lose your job its your fault your job is sent to china, They want senor citizens and the disabled to live on the streets so wall street can have there social security, They want woman that are raped to carry the rapist baby - but of course don’t want to help raise the rapist baby. They encourage killing Doctors that perform legal medical procedures because their ideology tells them its OK."

But yet, its perfectly acceptable to be a deadbeat dad? Do we see a pattern here readers? NFTOS has written hundreds of blogs on this hypocrisy.

NFTOS readers, are you tired of blogs that deal with hope, salvation and redemption? Have you been looking for a blog that deals with unabashed stupidity? Then you're in luck, because this teapublican "Joe Walsh" story is the epitome of WTF moments.

Bashir is not the only MSNBC host to call out this imbecile. Lawrence O'Donnell banned Walsh from his show for being a deadbeat dad.

O'Donnell Slamming Joe "deadbeat dad" Walsh:



The only thing worse than a liar is a deadbeat liar, and teapublcian Joe Walsh qualifies. It seems that while he's had money to loan his campaign $35,000 and gallivant around with his girlfriend, his ex-wife and children haven't received anything from him. Yeah, this from the same guy who had the nerve to open up his video with this:
“President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you’ve bankrupted this country.”

Joe Walsh clearly lies whenever it suits him to avoid obligations, he gets away with all sorts of exceptions others wouldn't. Others would get their license suspended, their wages garnished or weekends in the local jail. But Walsh seems to manage to stay one step ahead of it whenever he can.

This weltanschauung is classic teabagger. Lie, cheat, steal, and then walk away from moral and financial obligations as though they were nothing to worry about.


Give me a freaking break!

Olbermann Going to Current TV



UPDATE: 2/8/11 11:19 Olbermann Inks Deal.


Keith Olbermann, the former top-rated host on the news channel MSNBC, will announce his next television home on Tuesday, and people on Monday familiar with his plans pointed to a possible deal with the public affairs channel Current TV.

Mr. Olbermann, his representatives and executives from Current TV declined to comment on the move, but they did not deny that the channel, which counts former Vice President

Al Gore as one of its founders, will become at least one partner in Mr. Olbermann’s future media plans.

One of the people with knowledge of the plans said Mr. Olbermann would have an equity stake in Current TV. The people insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized by their employers to comment in advance of the official announcement.

On Monday a public relations agency hired by Mr. Olbermann scheduled a Tuesday morning conference call for an announcement about his next job. “He and his new partners will make an exciting announcement regarding the next chapter in his remarkable career,” the agency wrote in an e-mail.

Current TV has set up a presentation with advertisers for Wednesday afternoon in Manhattan to announce its future plans. The channel may be betting on Mr. Olbermann to put it on the cable map. The low-rated five-year-old channel needs the help. Targeting young people, it originally subsisted on YouTube-style submissions and video journalists. More recently it started producing and acquiring traditional television series, like repeats of “This American Life.”

Mr. Olbermann departed MSNBC in January after some stormy interactions with management, including a suspension for contributing to political candidates. The settlement of his contract precluded his joining another television outlet for an undetermined period of time, but an announcement of a future assignment on Current TV would presumably not violate the terms of that deal as long as he did not start until after the agreed-upon waiting period.

A move to Current TV would challenge Mr. Olbermann’s fans of his MSNBC show — where he drew about a million viewers a night — to follow him to a channel that is considerably less accessible. Current TV is available in only about 60 million homes, and is usually provided only on the digital tier of cable television systems, which requires a separate receiver. MSNBC, which is owned by NBC Universal, is available in 85 million homes and is almost always available as a basic cable entry.

But the addition of Mr. Olbermann, the former sports anchor who made himself a progressive star at MSNBC, would surely elevate the channel, bringing it attention it has never before received. The channel also wears its liberal politics on its sleeve.

With Current TV, Mr. Olbermann would also gain a measure of independence. Unlike most cable channels, including MSNBC, which are owned by large media companies, Current is privately and independently owned by Mr. Gore and other backers.

It is also possible that Mr. Olbermann will separately pursue other ventures, like an Internet destination.

Speculation has surrounded Mr. Olbermann since he abruptly left his job at MSNBC. He has been savoring the speculation, even posting a link on Twitter on Monday afternoon to a countdown clock for his announcement.

The abruptness of Mr. Olbermann’s departure last month suggested that he already had lined up another media job. The Internet domain name TheOlbermannShow.com was registered two days before his televised goodbye. A few days afterward, he set up a new Twitter account, called "FOK" News Channel,” short for “Friends of Keith.”

The departure came just days before Comcast took control of NBC, leading some to suspect that he was forced out by Comcast — an assertion that the companies vigorously denied. Comcast owns a 10 percent stake in Current TV.

OLBERMANN OUT AT MSNBC



Our political journalist mentor has signed off for now.

We are surprised he survived the campaign funding debacle late last year, whether this was Olbermann's decision or not, democrats lost their loudest voice last night.

Olbermann was MSNBC's most popular personality and single-handedly led its transformation to an outspoken, left-leaning cable news network in prime time. For nearly eight years, Countdown with Keith Olbermann led the charge against conservative misinformation in prime time. He was one of the few voices in the media willing to hold the Bush administration accountable and fight the right-wing smears against progressives and their policies.

MSNBC's entire nightly broadcasting schedule was modeled around Olbermann. Shultz, Maddow, Mathews and O'Donnell. The only speaker with the testicle fortitude of Olbermann is Ed Shultz, and one could assume that Shultz would be the next to topple at the MSNBC guillotine.

Whether you liked Olbermann or not, his journalistic aptitude was bar none top shelf. His way with the English language was exceeded by none. The mans fervor for ensuring those on the left had a voice was unrelenting. His words where often backed up with data and facts rarely used by other cable news entities.

Once Olbermann dropped the pretense of journalistic objectivity, he became a hero to liberals battered by the popularity of Fox News Channel and its conservative commentators. Olbermann openly feuded with Fox, often naming personalities like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck one of his "worst persons in the world" for some of their statements.

Republicans number one nemesis is silenced, yet we hear Beck, Palin, Faux News et al ranting about shutting people up and freedom of speech. Tea bags galore are commenting on right wing blogs everywhere regarding their number one obstacle. If one was to look beyond the smoke screen one would assume that Comcast was the executioner in Olbermann's case.

Olbermann is an innovator and extremely talented broadcaster who showed there was a market for progressive views on cable news.

Where will we find Olbermann next, well Faux News is certainly out (but just think of the possibilities if he was a unbalanced and unfair Faux newsy), and the only other alternative for a major voice would be CNN. CNN has continued to struggle in prime time, most recently with a program in Olbermann's time slot hosted by Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker. Bringing Olbermann on, however, would mean a dramatic shift in the network's determined nonpartisan stance, and there was no indication such a change was imminent.




For now Keith we bid you a fair ado! Your leadership towards NFTOS is greatly appreciated. You absence or the hole you leave will be hard to close, and we at NFTOS look forward to your return. The scales of political journalistic justice have tipped way to the right today.....a sad day indeed!

Until Olbermann surfaces again, we are left with the half witted Lawrence O'Donnell.


And on this day, we wish Olbermann "good night and good luck."
