When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism.
Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

THE RESISTANCE
Today, in the last of a three part series by Glenn Beck on the overthrow of the world, which left most in wonderment why many dots where left unconnected. Today's belch was further regurgitation of the previous two.
Beck claims that the "gates of hell are opening" and that everyone needs to start "canning" (hoarding) food now as in two years there will be none left, and if there is any it shall be to expensive for Americans to purchase. Beck tells his viewers how methodically and slowly he and his in-laws canned food for weeks and how he and his fellow Mormon tribesman now have a years supply of food for the "Event". This along with his new Gourmet survival kit should bode him well during this Armageddon.
A close to tearful Beck expatiates on how he "hopes he is wrong" with the imminent looming of the end of the world, but all Soros indicators point to our demise, being that Soros' four previous attempts to overthrow countries where successful and now the United States is next on the radar screen for the dreaded hostile takeover of Soros and his Army of journalist.
While watching Beck in the above video shed fake tears with vapor rub, we where wondering if he has shared this tactic with the "tan man" John Boehner?
Our conclusion after viewing the trilogy, is that Glenn Becks "event" is nothing more than what we have seen from him in the past. If Becks newest theory sounds to you like a "conspiracy theory", well there is a reason for that, that's because it is one.
For years, literally hundreds of years Republicans have been repeating the theme that hostile and violent takeovers are in store for America.
Our first hyped coup d'état occurred in 1798 when panic broke out in New England over the creeping threat of the Bavarian Illuminati, a secret society that was allegedly plotting to takeover America.
With this panic just subsiding, another plot for take over was a tale of the Catholics wanting to revolt in 1800. Self-appointed guardians of American democracy, suspicious of the growing number of Irish and German immigrants, began to postulate about a sinister scheme to uproot prevailing Protestant values and replace them with a domineering brand of Catholicism.
Then in the late 1880s, there was a fear of the "gold gamblers," a conspiratorial group of city-dwelling tycoons that allegedly plotted the demise of local farmers by intentionally causing the scarcity of gold which was used to buy back bonds. This led to the formation of the Populist party, whose official political platform in 1892 began with the following preamble:
"A vast conspiracy against mankind has been organized on two continents and it is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible social convulsions, the destruction of civilization, or the establishment of an absolute despotism."
Beginning in 1950, Joseph McCarthy became the most visible Republican face of a period in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He was noted for making claims that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers inside the United States federal government and elsewhere. Families built fallout shelters—underground concrete caves—in their backyards to protect themselves from a possible nuclear attack and subsequent radiation. Sirens were mounted on school rooftops and in some communities, children ran home from school at break-neck pace, fearing that the Commies would get them if they loitered around in public too long.
As we see, history certainly repeats itself with regards to Republican right wing extremism.
Glenn Beck this week displayed that Republicans are still extreme lunatics, that discharge and excrete hate, fear, and paranoia. Becks illiteracy for Governmental issues is never more prevalent than now. Becks smear campaign is a last ditch effort to sustain his livelihood on Faux News. With advertisers pulling out, Beck is grasping for the proverbial last straw. The "last muster" if you will.
NFTOS can tell you that the Bavarian Illuminati takeover never came to fruition, the Catholics did not conquer America, the Gold Gamblers were not concocting a plan for the demise of the farmer. Joseph McCarty's really demented theory on communism lead to nothing more than major hysteria, and McCarthy's tactics and his inability to substantiate his claims led him to be censured by the United States Senate. Finally Lawrence O'Donnell's "socialist" comment shall not lead to a "Pinky and the Brain" (Soros and Pike) coup, overthrow, power play, putsch, rebellion, revolt, or revolution.
Today NFTOS is taking the time to thank every soldier for their "service above self"!
Veterans Day originally titled "Armistice Day is a day for remembering Americans whom put service above self and to often either lost their life doing so, or became handicapped by either war wounds or wounds that entrenched itself in the minds of these warriors.
Veterans Day is an United States holiday honoring military veterans. A federal holiday, it is observed on November 11. It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)
President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting that the President (Calvin Coolidge) issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies.
For 25 years I was a civilian that occupied space with literally 100's of thousands of military men and women in theaters of war and at the Pentagon. As a Global War On Terror expert I literally embedded myself for long periods of time with our fine military establishment.
I tell you there is no finer institution than these 5 service groups that protect our country. "Service Above Self" is a coined phrase by my fellow Rotarian's, but the term is much more than Rotary service.
Nothing in the world speaks more of ones character than when one chooses to dawn a uniform, grab a weapon and stand post, and what makes them heroic, "Because they stand upon a wall and say, "Nothings going to hurt you tonight, not on my watch."
What bothers me about those whom haven't served is that one day a year it warms their self inflated politically correct heart to say thank you to those of service.
NFTOS says to those whom claim real patriotism, put "your money where you mouth is" and make veterans day 365 days a year. Make it every time you see a past or present veteran that you walk up and thank them for their service, not just today! If you are so "appreciative, go to your nearest VA and volunteer some time to those whom spent their life protecting your "political" views. If your a true America that is grateful for your freedoms, bring a dinner to that soldier whom now can't fend for himself because he is either homeless or disabled! When soldiers return from war be the first to welcome them back home.
Human psyche always astonishes me. When in times of trouble we pull out our "closet" God and or Veteran and praise their existence, but when times are favorable we push those back in the closet.
Instead of protesting dead soldiers burial sites, and "tea party" groups mocking America with your adopted Gadsden flag, be real Americans and do what's right. Stand behind your troops 24/7/365, as certainly they have done the same and more for you.
While on the Gadsden Flag, nothing is more disturbing than to see a "political" group "borrow" a military flag for their eroded, convoluted, demented, radical extremist point of view.
Speaking to a Naval Capt. today on the very subject, we learned that we are not the only ones perturb and aggravated about Republicans adopting this sacred flag as their movement symbol. Certainly General Christopher Gadsden didn't design and create "don't tread on me" with current tea bags in mind. This very flag was a USMC motto flag in its early days, and polling soldiers shows that the majority of soldiers deplore the very thought of these chicken hawk Republicans (Beck, Loesch, Limbaugh) toting the very backbone of what soldiers band together for.
One final note from the blasphemy that exudes from camp tea bags is when we visit our competitors blog site (Big Journalism) the number one avatar for the extreme right view is an American Flag displayed upside down, which is their limited mentality. Their stance is that we "protest" the current Government so we dishonor the very flag VETERANS fight and defend! In my world as a Senior Pentagon official I tell you there is nothing more NON-AMERICAN than this. This is also quite ironic, because most of the people doing this are political tea bag conservatives, who are generally the most vocal supporters of flag anti-desecration laws. Apparently, they feel that it's OK to dishonor the flag to express their point-of-view, but not for others to do so.
United Stated Flag Code states:
"No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America." Section 8
"The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing." Section 8j
If you are protesting your Government use something other than the stars and stripes, US soldiers and our military, for many have sacrificed much for it.
We here at NFTOS salute those whom stood up for her and defended her, your sacrifice is overwhelming to us. We are in awe of your bravery and steadfast resolve to ensure ALL Americans have the right to be free! Thank you for your service!
The continuing saga of Glenn Beck and his argument and philosophy that George "Spooky Dude" Soros and his "shadow government" are out to rule the globe now encapsulates "5 steps to control" and over throw the most powerful country this world has ever seen.
These steps are:
1. Create a "shadow government" 2. Control the "airwaves" 3. De- stabilize the state 4. Provoke election crises i.e. "voter fraud" 5. take power - stage demonstrations
No mention of a substantial military power to aid the over throw, no one country for the coup d'état, all that is need to over throw America, is a plethora of journalist with pen at hand, and a "media mogul empire"
Beck is his newly founded codification for martyrdom is now on the verge of complete psychosis and neurosis.
Please someone from inside the Beck camp inform him that "ACORN" ceased and desisted 8 months ago.
Today Beck attacks Yale Law graduate Anthony K. "Van" Jones and concludes that he is attached by the Soros tentacles as well.
Glenn Becks Formula lacks many missed calculations, has many variations, and certainly doesn't account for the freak data points in his "event" propaganda. Its clear that Beck's smear campaign on Soros lacks cohesion and has little rubber that is contacting the pavement, but one could say that about most of Glenn's crystal ball hallucinations.
More REM dream predictions from Beck today are: "massive inflation" and "massive protesting are imminent".
Late in Beck's show today he unfurled a 100 foot scroll with lists of people and firms that are under the spell of "Spooky Dude". This list should be front page news and disseminated to the Joint Chiefs of staff as it contains the very elusive government that is to overthrow America.
The plethora of co-conspirators to over taking the world are:
AFL-CIO Institute for Policy Studies Department of Energy Andy Stern Color of Change Apollo Alliance Jim Wallace Media Matters People for the American Way EPA National Public Radio Sen John Kerry NFTOS POTUS...........
Who knows, maybe Dana Loesch, and Andy Breitbart are doubles secret agents and fellow co-conspirators to the "Take Over of The World" contrivance.
While Keith Olbermann was serving his slap on the hand for donating privately to Democratic candidates, Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Daily News was writing a article about the very controversy.
Stu seeking dictum from Olbermann sent an email via an email addy to"keith@keitholbermann.com." Not long after sending the email a reply was returned (purported to be Keith Olbermann). The email contained many insults calling Stu “pathetic” and “beneath contempt.” It went on to insult MSNBC chief Phil Griffin, saying that he isn’t “intellectually qualified” to be Olbermann’s boss.
From: keith@keitholbermann.com [mailto:keith@keitholbermann.com] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 2:46 PM To: Bykofsky, Stu Subject: RE: [SPAM] From the Philadelphia Daily News “Dear Stu,
Since you’re obviously a moron, I won’t waste your time or mine writing more emails you clearly can’t understand. But I do want to correct one of the numerous errors of fact in your email: Phil Griffin did not suspend me. He doesn’t have the power or frankly the courage to do so. Once I had been (very) temporarily relieved of my duties by NBC management, Phil got on the phone to some of your fellow idiot TV columnists and tried to claim credit.
As if.
I could have Phil Griffin fired tomorrow if I felt like it, trust me. And if he keeps yapping about me in public, I may. For the moment, however, keeping Phil around is like having a drunk chimp in the office — more amusing than threatening.
Feel free to correct the record in your ‘column.’

This past summer "bitter tea bag" brewmeister Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson’s (Tucker is an American political news correspondent and conservative commentator for the Fox News Channel. He is co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Daily Caller. He is a senior fellow of the Cato Institute and formerly co-hosted CNN's Crossfire and MSNBC's Tucker.) Daily Caller purchased the URL KeithOlbermann.com and Carlson said he would personally use the email address Keith@KeithOlbermann.com.
Yahoo News’s Michael Calderone reported that Carlson stated "We want to be the Keith Olbermann superstore,” Carlson said at the time. “We want to be your first and last stop for Keith Olbermann analysis.” In a phone interview with Carlson Tuesday night, Yahoo News confirmed with Carlson that he was behind the emails. “Could you resist?” Carlson told them. “It was just too funny.
Stu Bykofsky was tricked into thinking he was having an email fight with Keith Olbermann himself. Which as we know now, is truly not the case.
Once Olbermann gained wind of the impersonation he tweeted the following:
The anger and spite by the right is never ending. Maybe Glenn Beck should add Tucker Carlson to those of whom are seeking to take over America. First emails, then the country.
We at NFTOS might suggest a few law firms for Carlson, as it appears he may need them.
If you read our blog from last night you would think that the earth was going to shake like it did when Christ was crucified. Glenn Beck today releases his latest conspiracy theory which mimics a "Zionist Occupational Government" or a "Secret Government" which is in theory a "Conspiracy-oriented literature that postulates the existence of a secret government who are the true power behind the apparent government", et al, AKA Pinky and the Brain (Pike and Soros). One of the most popular conspiracy theories about a shadow government among ideologues (Glenn Beck) of the anti-Semitic far-right is the notion of a "Zionist Occupation Government". Other lunatic banshees on the Beck bandwagon are Dan Smoot, William Guy Carr, Jim Marrs, Gary Allen, Des Griffin, David Icke and John Coleman.
Glenn Becks "Shadow Government" includes firms which have since been shut down. As of March 2010 ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) announced it was "closing all its remaining affiliated state chapters and disbanding due to falling revenue." So we are not sure how ACORN is involved with the shakedown of the world, but hopefully Beck will enlighten us tomorrow on this missed fact.
In Beck's theory on the "shadow Government" (Which is a phrase that is sometimes called "the secret government" or "the invisible government", real and actual political power does not reside with publicly elected representatives but with persons unknown to the general public who are exercising power behind the scenes. In this sense the official elected government is in reality subservient to the shadow government who are the true executive power.) he states that this takeover has been in the works for "decades", and these secret agents and their diabolical plans only come out of hiding when writing and or approving books (biographies), or when texting B-ROCK via his BlackBerry. Yes you guessed it, Pinky and the Brain at it again.
Beck today is angered as to why POTUS has to have this cell phone and demands to know whom he is texting with.
Soros and Pike are "media moguls". Unequivocally yes, but too concoct a theme that NPR, Media Matters, Open Society Institute, Tides (All companies funded by the duo) are to take over the world, certainly a huge stretch for a very imaginative mind.
Beck of late asks followers to not believe his conjecture, but to go out and do "your own research". And that we did. While reviewing every website Soros and Pike manages, we at NFTOS could not find one site that describes world domination, shutting down America, and any open source (transparency) that a deviant take over is eminent by "spooky dude" (Soros).
According to Garp (Beck) "Cap and Trade", "Stimulus", "Health care reform" are all a ingredients and indicators that Soros and Pike plan to override the United States.
"Shadow Government" is at best a pejorative term to denote a secretive government that takes over in the event of a disaster, and in this case the 'disaster" is what Glenn Beck titles the "Event".
So that NFTOS doesn't have to rewrite George Soros biography, go to "answers.com" and a plethora of real valid information http://www.answers.com/topic/george-soros exist on "The Brain".
Once you read about "spooky dude", go and watch the abundance of youtube clips on Glenn Beck this week , you shall see that Glenn is walking a tight rope with defamation of Soros' character. Often the case for most of the extremist from the right.
Beck's infamous quotes on today's show:
"Soros is out to collapse the USA"
Soros and Pike's media empire rule would de-stable the state" (that being the state of the Union)
To bolster Beck's latest pungent cocktail GB TV invites "Author" Richard Poe (another tweaker and author of "The Shadow Party) to speak on the evils of Pinky and The Brain. Richard Poe's website depicts another flake in society with blog titles like:
"How the Rockefeller's Created Hillary" "Hillary Wants You Dead" "Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky" "The New York Times Embraces the Dark Side" "Trilobites and Creationism"
If Mr. Beck wants America to postulate and presume true his end of America event, then he might want to rethink inviting the likes of Poe to support his master of puppetry rationality. Mr. Poe's writings are of the obtuse at best. Here is a quote from Poe regarding the change of the five dollar bill " The fact is, we are being hoodwinked. The redesign of our currency has nothing to do with fighting counterfeiters or helping people with weak eyesight. It has everything to do with catering to the perverse canons of postmodernist art." HUH!
The continuum that is Beck is a comical, outlandish, and down right demonic.
Where are the other proponents of this "theory"? Why doesn't John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Dana Loesch, support this? Why are they not of GB TV objurgating Beck's theme? Where are names like Zoltan Acs, Robert F. Engle, Edward Glaeser (all world renown prize winning economist) not jumping the Beck train?
Why readers, because this is " the snake in the corner biting back". Becks advertisers are down to G. Gordon Liddy (A Republican crook in his own right which includes Conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wiretapping) and Faux News itself. The very bloodline and jugular vein of Beck is being severed by the power of Pike and Soros. This is last stance by a desperate Beck, which should be the nail in the coffin for a man and party that envisions "lesbian vampires" roaming the earth.
Stay tuned as "Phantom of Beckistan" continues.................
ATTENTION ATTENTION........WORLD DOMINATION IS EMINENT..AND IT'S NOT "THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP", BUT RATHER THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GLENN BECK.
Glenn Beck is touting this week to expose the worlds end via the "puppeteer" George Soros and his Hunchback of Notre Dame Drummond Pike.
In Glenn Beckish fashion his latest daydream or hallucination is now to weave and concoct yet more scare tactics that could be of epic proportions. Like that of Orson Welles and his radio broadcast of "war of the worlds", Beck will try to scare tea bag followers this week into thinking that George Soros and Drummond Pike are the Antichrist and shall stop at nothing to rule the world. We here at NFTOS HQ think maybe Glenn has watched too many "Pinky and the Brain" cartoons.
Beck today claims that "his" economist state that in the very near future an "ear of corn" shall cost $12.50, a can of coffee will cost $75, and a average Hershey bar a mere $15 all at the hands of Pike and Soros.
Beck's extreme erection for both Soros and Pike stems from Soros' funding of the Democratic agenda, and Pikes assertion to call for advertisers to boycott Fox over Beck's dangerous discourse. Beck's man crush on Soros and Pike is evident with his daily diatribe, or barrage of rodomontade on the duo.
In a Beck twist of story line, he contorts Lawrence O’Donnell's statements (whom said on the air last week that he was a socialist.)to some sign that the end is near, and Beck says That’s because “the radicals revealing themselves” are one of the first steps leading us to “The Event."
Yes Beck is calling this the "event", it has a "birth date" and is derived from Mark Penn’s assertion that President Obama would be helped by a disaster similar to the Oklahoma City bombing. On today’s show, Beck pointed out that many critics are already setting him up to be the fall guy for this Event.
This "event" is the "end of days" Armageddon Beck is always predicting. Beck was seen on his set today describing his "birth contractions" and how they align with his ideology for the "pinky" and "the brain" take over.
NFTOS has said this often about Beck's anarchy, and his theme on "the world is ending" mentality, which is equivalent to someone entering a packed movie theater and screaming fire. Only Becks theater is much more colossal, and voluminous than your local theater.
When does this dangerous "freedom of speech" stop?
How is it that a guy with barely a intelligence quota of 95, and college drop out gain such a following on such worldly matters as economics, politics, world domination, hostel takeovers, and food prices?
Glenn Beck is a "media personality", and nothing more! If you know anything about the Mormon church, the very rhetoric he speaks of are the very learning's he gets in his 'ward" visits to the Mormon pulpit. Mormons have been claiming for years the "world is ending" and how "they" shall be the only ones left after the "event"! So should we be surprised that the number one Mormon "prophet" spews the same dregs and dross?
Famous Beck statements on "Pinky" and "the brain":
Beck compares Soros to the emperor villain from Star Wars.
"run for your life" if their church uses the Tides curriculum (Pike owns the Tides Foundation)
"Any doubt in your mind that the progressive left is coming for the kill on religion?"
Beck accused Tides of bringing "paganism" and "American native" thinking into churches.
Beck claimed Tides curriculum "manipulates" the Bible and is the "indoctrination of youth."
Beck tells his viewers how Democratic magicians have used "slight of hand magic" to baffle the right and contort the Government to communistic ways. Beck in his "cavalier" stance claims, "don't shoot the messenger" as I am just the "Canary in the Goldmine" here....obviously expressing or referring "to the demise of something that serves as a warning of potential danger to others."
Maybe Beck's botched hemorrhoid operation (when what should have been a routine outpatient procedure sent him to the hospital for five days. In the hospital, the serious painkillers he was on led him to contemplate suicide.) is still effecting him.
Might we suggest two things for you Glenn, "OBAMA CARE" for the roid issue, and end the "Armageddon" elocution, hyperbole, and magniloquence.
To close out this blog we provide you readers with a note from Olbermann, which came to NFTOS via email for our support, to which last Friday NFTOS asked for a boycott of MSNBC till this wrong was righted, and now the letter:
I want to sincerely thank you for the honor of your extraordinary and ground-rattling support.
Your efforts have been integral to the remedying of these recent events, and the results should remind us of the power of individuals spontaneously acting together to correct injustices great or small.
I would also like to acknowledge with respect the many commentators and reporters, including those with whom my politics do not overlap, for their support.
I also wish to apologize to you viewers for having precipitated such anxiety and unnecessary drama. You should know that I mistakenly violated an inconsistently applied rule – which I previously knew nothing about -- that pertains to the process by which such political contributions are approved by NBC. Certainly this mistake merited a form of public acknowledgment and/or internal warning, and an on-air discussion about the merits of limitations on such campaign contributions by all employees of news organizations.
Instead, after my representative was assured that no suspension was contemplated, I was suspended without a hearing, and learned of that suspension through the media.
You should also know that I did not attempt to keep any of these political contributions secret; I knew they would be known to you and the rest of the public. I did not make them through a relative, friend, corporation, PAC, or any other intermediary, and I did not blame them on some kind of convenient 'mistake' by their recipients.
When a website contacted NBC about one of the donations, I immediately volunteered that there were in fact three of them; and contrary to much of the subsequent reporting, I immediately volunteered to explain all this, on-air and off, in the fashion MSNBC desired.
I genuinely look forward to rejoining you on Countdown on Tuesday, to begin the repayment of your latest display of support and loyalty - support and loyalty that is truly mutual.
Olbermann re-instated Sunday night, back on air Tuesday.
Today MSNBC Chief Executive Paul Griffin indefinitely suspended the bulwark and pillar of the news organization for donating monies to political campaigns. Keith Olbermann admittedly stated he funded three democratic congressional candidates.
Oblermann also goes on to say “I did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns, nor to any others in this election or any previous ones, nor have I previously donated to any political campaign at any level.”
All the while two other MSNBC show host and or analysts of MSNBC have done the same. Republicans Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan also gave political contributions -- but yet as of 18:43 11/2/210 neither have been suspended.
Tool of the day Paul Griffin stated that because Olbermann did not obtain prior approval for the contributions, “I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.”
In a funny twist of irony MSNBC is replacing Olbermann with Chris Hayes, whom has given money to two Democratic campaigns in recent years, prompting MSNBC to say "Hayes will not get the gig after all."
With all these shenanigans one could conclude that Olbermann has a suit of epic proportions on his hands. If Olbermann can show that higher-ups at NBC News singled him out for punishment while letting Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan skate, he could build a strong case against them, with damages predicated not just on the withholding of his $7 million salary but also on the harm done to his reputation.
MSNBC states that Scarborough had the "all clear" from General Griffin and that Buchanan being a "analyst" doesn't fall into "full-time employee" status, and therefore isn’t "subject to the same rules".
MSNBC's less than stable stance on "ethics" is as diabolical as the tea bags distorting B-ROCKS current trip. Talks about a Ed Shultz "nut job" moment, or a Chris Matthews "sideshow" story!
NFTOS wishes Keith the best, he was one whom stood his grounds and his convictions, and told America about the "REAL" tea bag society. While unpopular by the right, he was the man whom exposed the hillbillies for the trash they are.
In lieu of MSNBC's "policies" and "actions", we at NFTOS cordially ask our readers to BOYCOTT any and all MSNBC programming until this wrong is righted. At the very least MSNBC has some internal documents to audit and rectify. Anyone whom gains funds from MSNBC by speaking for them should all be held accountable to the same standard set forward. So until either Olbermann is offered an apology or is offered his job back, was ask that you refrain from supporting bully CEO's like General Griffin!
As a CEO myself, I tell you it just ludicrous too act with "knee jerk" reactions with regards to employees, especially when they are the backbone of your establishment. Maybe it's the General whom needs to be "checked"?
Today your boss says you can't on your own volition fund a political party of your own choice, tomorrow its whom you can and can't vote for, and the next day it's when you can and cannot urinate.
Roger West CEO West Media News From The Other Side
"Obama leaves for India on a ten-day tour ending in South Korea, costing us taxpayers some $200 Million dollars a day! Obama is bringing an entourage of 3,000 people with him. Obama’s trip to India does include a meeting with Prime Minister Manohan Singh in New Delhi. A total of 40 jetliners will haul Obama, family, friends and staff. They’ve rented the entire Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, all 570 rooms! He’s even bringing his teleprompters with him! He will also be protected by a fleet of 34 warships, including an aircraft carrier, which will patrol the sea lanes off the Mumbai coast during his two-day stay there beginning Saturday. The measure has been taken as Mumbai attack in 2008 took place from the sea."
Holy everything that is God! Really readers we can't make this stuff up.
Should we be surprised that Michele Bachmann is the ring leader for this latest "Government is spending too much" campaign. Not if you read our earlier blog. Last night Anderson Cooper spoke with Bachmann on this very issue and she couldn't validate the story other than to say this is what the press is saying. Can we really accept liars like this in our congress? Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Micheal Savage all jumped the Bachmann bandwagon on this story and spent their air time this AM "spreading the news". These tea bags certainly live up to the titles of "axis of idiots" and "the know-nothings".
NFTOS has fought Dana Loesch on this very issue a million times. Blogging, journalism, reporting, does not mean make up crap as you go. Copy and past reporting is dangerous.
When has the Internet become the "Library of Congress" of factual information? Because information is posted on the Internet does not promise that all is confirmed and true. Because Billy Bob posted that B-ROCK is a Kenyan with Osama Bin Laden ties, doesn't make the story factual!
Debunked information is a plethora on the information highway, especially when it comes Dana Loesch and company. When did the lack of fact checking become a "lame duck" excuse to not support your BS?
We have mentioned frequently that "freedom of speech" is a dangerous tool in the hands of idiots, and this is never more true than with this story. This is the ideology of Andrew Breitbart's "Big Journalism" blog site. These hack writers copy and past any rubbish, or dross that comes across right wing blogosphere.
One could spend their entire life debunking the rhetoric out of camp tea bag. After reviewing the above, one could assert and conclude that all information from any right wing establishment is utter BS!
This is why we at NFTOS painstakingly research all that we report. The result on not doing so damages the equilibrium of those whom seek factual information.
48 hours after the mid-term elections and all hands on deck. The in breeding and fighting within the Republican party is at a fever pitch. Republicans gaining the House majority is like 250 starving kids fighting over one cookie.
Those of the right claiming "king of the hill" status are multitudinous. Mitch McConnell, Jim Demint, Michele Bachmann, John "tan man" Boehner. We have discussed Boehner enough, but we wanted to expose you to Bachmann, McConnell, and Demint tonight.
Michele Bachmann -
Ms. Bachmann is no less loony than Christine O'Donnell. In addition to being a loony, Bachmann's track record has proven she is also a full-fledged nut job. The type of person that makes you turn to your friend the moment she gets up to use the bathroom and mouth "She's craaaaaaazy," complete with hand motions and bug-eyes.
While Bachmann has always been a local lunatic, she didn't come onto the national lunatic scene until the 2008 election when she accused Barack Obama and many members of Congress of being "anti-American."
Like fellow lunatic Sarah Palin, Bachmann is deceptively attractive. While Palin is attractive in a "if she just put down that gun, took off those glasses, and started forming complete sentences" sort of way, Bachmann has the whole girl next door thing working for her. But only if you grew up next to an insane asylum.
Bachmann has claimed that many of her career moves have been dictated by messages from God. Abraham, Moses...Michele Bachmann. That sounds about right.
From anti-gay stances to anti-American Ms. Bachmann certainly never misses a beat.
In October 2008, Bachmann appeared on MSNBC's "Hardball" with Chris Matthews. When talking about Obama's association with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, she stated he and his wife, Michelle, held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America." For the record, Bachmann defines "America" as "star, bars, and white people."
When asked which parts of the country were anti-American, Bachmann replied, "I don't think it's geography. I think it's people who don't like America, who detest America." You know, the types of people that would organize a witch-hunt of Congress and imply the President is a terrorist. They can exist anywhere. Like Minnesota.
The reactions to her statements were overwhelmingly negative, with even Republicans distancing themselves from this crazy lady.
Bachmann's statements were especially stupid, considering that calling someone "anti-American" is as original as a schoolyard bully calling other kids "gay." Speaking of gays...
Opposition to gay rights: In 2003, Bachmann began her yearly assault on gay rights, proposing a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage. In 2004, Bachmann and a coalition of religious leaders announced plans for what was billed as a "Minnesota for Marriage" rally. Thousands of people attended, holding signs that read, "Gays Should Not Be Married, Dontchya Know."
Shocked that her views were not universal, Bachmann felt the need to investigate her opposition. At a 2005 protest of her proposed constitutional ban of same-sex marriage, Bachmann and her cronies were actually seen hiding in the bushes, spying on the rally. When reached for comment regarding the incident, Bachmann complained that her feet were sore, saying, "I had high heels on and I just couldn't stand anymore. I was not in the bushes." The last part is true, as she was hiding behind the bushes. Getting in them would just be insane. Bachmann later acknowledged that she was spying on the rally, but only because she heard a "dirty rumor that they may screen 'Aladdin,' and 'Aladdin' can't get any gayer."
During a 2005 community meeting in Scandia, Minnesota, Bachmann was seen running out of a public bathroom crying, "I was being held against my will." In a report filed with the country sheriff, Bachmann claimed that two women "believed to be part of a LGBT group" detained her in the bathroom. She apparently was terrified and feared for her life. The women in question claimed they were simply making conversation with their local senator while waiting in line. The case was dismissed.
Foot note: Bachmann's step sister is a lesbian!
If you give Michele Bachmann a microphone, there's a pretty solid chance she'll say something stupid. The kinds of statements that leave you speechless - not because you don't know how to respond, but because there is no applicable response to gibberish.
Here's a sampling of her work:
"Don't Palinize Me!"
"Not all cultures are equal."
"We're running out of rich people in this country."
""I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."
"Little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal and natural and perhaps they should try it."
Michele Bachmann's statements are so inane that at some level, one has must cut her some slack. Why? No human can be that much of a idiot. No real person acts like that. Maybe she's mentally ill?
Sen. Mitch McConnell may be the Senate minority leader but there's clearly another would-be power center among Senate Republicans — Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
DeMint, the chief channel in the Senate for the Tea Party movement, has an open letter in The Wall Street Journal that is at once a challenge to McConnell and a warning to the new Republican senators who tapped into Tea Party energy.
DeMint counsels the new senators that attempts will be made to buy them off that they should resist. Those new Republican senators include Marc Rubio of Florida, John Boozman of Arkansas, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Jim Demint has attempted to convince pastors that economic issues are moral issues at the Greater Freedom Rally at a church in Spartanburg, South Carolina, imploring them to help conservatives retake Congress in November.
In addition to reiterating anti-choice talking points on abortion and backing "traditional marriage," according to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal, the senator went further and "said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn't be teaching in the classroom and he holds the same position on an unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend -- she shouldn't be in the classroom."
Controversy over DeMint's position on this issue first arose in 2004 during a Senate debate, when he was asked whether he agreed with the state party's platform that said openly gay teachers should be barred from teaching public school. DeMint said he agreed with that position because government shouldn't be endorsing certain behaviors.
How's that make you feel America?
Mitch McConnell - NFTOS thought Mitch was footing himself on firm ground, that is until he stated that his number one job is to ensure the POTUS is a one term President. Not your health, not your home, not your paycheck, he will have nothing of it, number one issue is outing the President.
Also the banner behind McConnell is none other than "the heritage foundation" which in its self is not oblivious from controversy. In 2001 they where accused of conflicts of interest in a Malaysia snafu, and also the have claims and ties to lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Boy howdy the ole cliché “Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive” comes to mind with Mr. McConnell.
The above facts paint a discombobulated republican regime at best, and we are only 48hours in. What truths shall unfold next? What undisclosed idiosyncrasies lie next for the tea bags? And the plot thickens.

Post Script:
In future blogs your going to hear a lot about the "Volcker Rule" (Trading restrictions placed on financial institutions. The Volcker rule separates investment banking, private equity and proprietary trading (hedge fund) sections of financial institutions from their consumer lending arms.
Banks are not allowed to simultaneously enter into an advisory and creditor role with clients, such as with private equity firms. The Volcker rule aims to minimize conflicts of interest between banks and their clients through separating the various types of business practices financial institutions engage in.
NFTOS explains Volcker Rule: Named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, the Volcker rule basically stops banks from doing their normal business (installment loans, residential mortgages, equity credit loans, deposit services) as well as trading on their own behalf.
The rule was introduced following the recession of 2008, to control the risk associated with the financial sector. Wall Street banks were accused of accumulating an excessive amount of risk and unfair business practices due to the inability of regulators to properly monitor their complex instruments and activities. The Volcker rule aims to protect individuals by creating a more transparent financial framework which can be regulated with greater ease. Mr. Volcker has argued that such speculative activity played a key role in the financial crisis of 2007–2010.)
Also readers you shall hear NFTOS repeatedly mention RINO (Republican in name only).
“tentherism”, is right wing radical views that state pretty much everything the federal government does is unconstitutional. Several "thenthers" got waxed at the polls last night.(Miller, Buck, Raese, Angle, O'Donnell).
A snapshot of the GOP Class of 2010’s extremism: (Provided by thinkprogress)
ENVIRONMENT
50% deny the existence of manmade climate change 86% are opposed to any climate change legislation that increases government revenue
IMMIGRATION
39% have already declared their intention to end the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship 32% want to reduce legal immigration
TAXES/SPENDING
91% have sworn to never allow an income tax increase on any individual or business – regardless of deficits or war 79% have pledged to permanently repeal the estate tax 48% are pushing for a balanced budget amendment
Rand Paul Explains His Support For Plutocracy: ‘There Are No Poor…We All Work For Rich People’ Paul announced his intention to do anything it takes to shield the privileged rich and corporate America. Asked if he would end the $830 billion, unpaid-for Bush tax cuts to the rich and return tax rates for the wealthiest bracket to Clinton-era levels, Paul snapped and said such a move would cause a “second great depression” and declared that “anybody who proposes such a policy really is, I think, unfit to be making decisions.”
Paul then clarified his delusional worldview by telling Blitzer that “there are no rich” and “there are no poor.” In Paul’s mind, even taxing yachts would somehow punish the working poor in Kentucky. “We all either work for rich people or we sell stuff to rich people,” concluded Rand: (Source thinkprogress)
As of 11/3/2010 House republicans still can’t name any programs they would cut to pay for Bush tax cuts.
John Boehner , Mitch McConnell et al say America spoke last night when in reality it was conservatives that spoke. Exit polls show at least 1/3 of the Dems that voted in 2008 sat on their hands this go around.
Today after our tea bag hangover, we mourn the death of the moderate Republican.
All the while, you would think Breitbart and company would be ecstatic over the tea bag slaughter, but yet today, the whine and cry that "daddy" was pwned by ABC and that MSNBC mocked everything that is tea bag is a plethora on Brietbart.com.
Ebay founder Meg Whitman spent 146 million to lose the Gubernatorial race in California. The Nevada Senate race spent 50 million with the majority of that funded by Karl Rove & Co. Yet more monies wasted on a losing effort. US Chamber of Commerce spent a total of 31.8 million to defeat the left. The fruits of the chambers labor is 36 seats gained by their monies.
Not one African American was voted to the senate this go around.
Congress has not seen a tsunami like this since 1948.
47% of seniors supported tea bags. 86% of the angriest Americans are tea baggers and 56% of those are highly un-educated whites.
Sharron Angle refuses to concede to Harry Reid, now talk about class.
Of the 20 exit polls NFTOS reviewed today, 22- 26% of republicans stated that someone within the household occupied a "Union" job. Isn't this against everything that is republican?
Tan man John Boehner stated today that health care prior to health reform "was "the greatest" health care on the planet". Yes if your a congressman.
A plethora of untruths emitted from camp tea bag prior to the elections yesterday. Most Tea bag candidates slung whatever mud they thought would stick, regardless of the facts. Just a handful of less than factual truths presented to America where: (The below facts are provided by factcheck.org)
Healthcare - Misrepresentations of the new health care law have been a staple of Republican campaigns. Some ads go so far as to claim (falsely) that the law would cause Medicare patients to lose their doctors, or (also falsely) that Democrats favored giving Viagra to sex offenders, or (false again) that typical families will pay $2,100 more in premiums.
Taxes - Another misleading Republican theme is that Democrats are about to unleash a huge tax increase on the typical family, or on small-business owners. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said "Democrats are poised now to cause this largest tax increase in U.S. history." Similar claims have been spread by Republican TV ads, by widely forwarded chain e-mails, in interviews and even by "tweets" and other social media. It’s true that the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 are set to expire at the end of this year, under terms set in law by a Republican Congress and President George W. Bush. But Democrats have said all along that they don’t intend to let all of the tax cuts expire, or even most of them. President Obama and most House and Senate Democrats favor keeping all the cuts that apply to taxpayers who earn less than $250,000 as a couple, or $200,000 as single filers.
As for the claim that Democrats favor "a huge tax hike on small business," in the words of one ad, that’s also wrong for the vast majority of small-business owners. Only about 3 percent of those with any business income showing on their personal returns would see a tax increase. Republicans retreated to claiming that half the small-business "income" — as opposed to business owners — would see an increase. But that’s wrong, too. Much of the "small"-business income they are counting comes from businesses with yearly income of $50 million or more — which is big business income in just about anybody’s book.
Stimulus Spin - Ads by Republicans in Connecticut, Florida, Washington, South Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and elsewhere have claimed that the economic stimulus has failed to create jobs. We heard the same claims on talk shows and in speeches. House Minority Leader John Boehner even said in an address that the stimulus had harmed the job situation, since "America’s employers are afraid to invest in an economy stalled by ‘stimulus’ spending and hamstrung by uncertainty." In fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the stimulus increased employment by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million people, compared with what employment would have been otherwise. Observers may differ on whether that’s a reasonable return on investment, but it’s not accurate to say that the stimulus harmed employment or that it didn’t help.
Bailouts - Everybody took the Wall Street bailout’s name in vain this campaign season. Democratic House incumbents in nine states claimed that they voted against "the bailout" — meaning the Troubled Asset Relief Program — when in fact they weren’t yet in office when it was enacted. (They voted against a later bill to allow release of the second half of TARP funds, a purely symbolic and futile vote. The Senate had already approved release and only disapproval by both houses could freeze the funds under terms set by the original bailout legislation.) Meanwhile, some Republican ads accused Democratic House members of voting to give huge bonuses to Wall Street employees. That’s a misleading reference to the stimulus bill — its final version contained looser restrictions on bonuses than the version originally passed in the Senate. But the actual funds used by companies for those bonuses came from TARP, not the stimulus, and nothing in the bill the Democrats supported called for or supported bonuses.
The enacted bill simply failed to prevent as many of them as the Senate version might have.
Quoting factcheck.org
"The claims we’re asked about most often don’t always come from the mouths of politicians, or even their TV ads. Maybe because these claims are pure bohonkey. The falsehoods circulate widely by e-mail, forwarded by people who either don’t know or don’t care that they are spreading misinformation the way a virus spreads disease."
And lastly, other viral claims that are just not fact are:
The health care law puts a 3.8 percent tax on all home sales. Actually, the new health care law’s tax only applies to the sale of a primary residence in rare cases. For individuals, it falls on profit that exceeds $250,000, if the individual’s income exceeds $200,000. For couples, the tax falls only on profits exceeding $500,000, if joint income is more than $250,000.
Obama plans a 1 percent tax on all bank transactions. That’s based on a single House member’s bill that isn’t supported by the White House, has no cosponsors, and has never even gotten a hearing in committee.
For the next two years America is stuck with representatives whom could careless about truth, honor and integrity. The aforementioned is just a smattering of falsehoods claimed by the tea bag society.
What can America expect from this newly founded house containing a majority of "axis of idiots"? If the above is any inclination, then America, hang on tight.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews asked Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) last night if she was “hypnotized.” Matthews was pressing her on whether the new GOP majority would use its subpoena power to investigate Democrats for “un-American activities,” but Bachmann refused to give a straight answer and would not “budge from her talking points on jobs and the economy.” “Has someone hypnotized you?” Matthews asked, “Because no matter what I ask you, you give the same answer.” A reoccurring theme from righty.
At the end of the day readers, what we can expect from this new congress is major gridlock. Taking into effect that the Democrats hold the majority in the Senate, and the current sitting POTUS is a Democrat whom holds the ultimate trump card (VETO power), leaves one to conclude that we are not any better off after "Americans spoke" last night.
In closing, we leave you with the spirit of a true Democratic politician, Our new hero is HARRY REID! The entire world said he had no pulse! The very ethnic cleansing his opponent encouraged was the very ethnic group whom told Angle to take a flying leap off a rolling stone. And ole man Harry lives another day!
Every pundit told us Reid was toast. The resilience of Reid never wavered, and the very ethnic cleansing Angle encouraged and wanted (rid the country of Hispanics) was the very ethnic group that voted her to the street...96% of Hispanics voted for Reid. Angle provided the ugliest and nastiest campaign that we have ever seen. The belittlement of everyone whom wasn't white was appalling. Nevadans got it right,as did Delawareans, and Californians. Angle avoided every interview offered to her other than Faux. Clearly this was the nail in the coffin of this obvious snide, out of touch racist.
Losing the house is not great news for America, but these tools losing makes all things right with NFTOS.
Earlier today (Noon) NFTOS called and predicted that O'Donnell, Angle, Miller, Whitman, Fiorina, Paladino would be losers in their respective races. As of 1 AM EST all have bit the dust but Miller, and his polls closed seconds ago. Should Miller get dumped, NFTOS will have a 100% prediction rate.
Americans have voted, and their voices have been heard loud and clear, polls, pundits, and Faux News' voices means very little. Voters have seen the very extremist for what they are, and America unequivocally says HELL NO!
Does the Republican party really want Sarah "snowbillie" Palin backing them....O'Donnell, Whitman, Fiorina, Angle, and Paladino say no.
BREAKING....1/4 votes in at Alaska Senate seat and "write-in-votes" have the lead. Go Lisa Murkowsksi!
MSM is projecting that the new Republican will have the majority. Nancy is out, the hypocritical "Tan man" John Boehner is in.
Good luck with that America!
Should the Democrats hold on too the senate the dems hold advantage as ultimately the Democratic White House has veto power.
Veto - meaning "I forbid" in Latin. Which is the power of an officer of the state to stop unilaterally a piece of legislation.
In practice, the veto can be absolute (as in the U.N. Security Council, whose permanent members (the United States) can block any resolution) or limited (as in the legislative process of the United States, where a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate may override a Presidential veto of legislation).
A veto gives power, possibly unlimited, to stop changes, but not to adopt them. The influence that the veto conveys to its holder is therefore directly proportional to the holder's conservatism, broadly defined. The more the holder of a veto supports the status quo, the more useful the veto.
Reiterating, if the senate holds Democratic rule, the tea bags still have issues to contend with.
For months Mafioso thug Glenn Beck has been touting that George Soros was taking over America with his billions of dollars. In a all out blitz, the Beckster would ascribe and expostulate Soros and good friend Drummond Pike for buying or bolstering the Democratic stance in the mid-terms.
Yet early election results show just the opposite. Faux News and Karl Rove's dollars have and will out weighed Soros and Pike this election. Soros and Pike started late with funding monies to eradicate America of the filth called tea baggers.
Karl Rove & Company fully funded the tea bag society (and even some unwilling candidates like the wicked witch O'Donnell), and any fruits of labor that where quenched by the tea bags is owed to Rove and Company. See chart below of outside groups whom are not supposed to spend directly on politics but did in 2010. According to the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the America Action Network, American Crossroads, and Crossroads GPS top the list as this year’s biggest spenders. Together, these four conservative groups spent $99.6 million — $71.5 million above the SEIU and A.F.S.C.M.E labor unions’ combined $28.1 million: Both American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS are "Karl Rove & Company operations.
I doubt tomorrow when the landslides subsides that there shall be many tea bags bitching about the illegal funds that slipped into American politics, but yet if the shoe was on other foot the tea bags would be sending the lynch men out for Soros and Pike.
MSNBC discloses tonight in its plethora of charts and graphs that 86% of the angriest Americans are tea baggers and 56% of those are whites with no college education. This is certainly not a surprise to NFTOS as we have be saying since day one that tea bags lead with their mouth and not their brains, and these stats clearly quantify this theory.
Key tea bags ousted so far:
Christine O'Donnell Linda McMahon John Raese
In other early news ABC and Internet mogul Andie Breitbart ratcheted up the disdain for each other. After Breitbart slammed ABC via his "big journal" blog site, ABC said they have had enough...bye bye Andie.
Regarding Breitbart - This afternoon, ABC News released a letter it sent to Breitbart disinviting him from any participation with the network’s election coverage, saying his immature reaction to not be allowed to go on TV made them “feel it best for you not to participate“:
We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News. We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall. Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage. As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.
Stay tuned as the Western half the US closes it's polls
4 hours till voting shuts down on the East coast and every analyst on tv is predicting that the GOP wins all. That's why the NFL plays the game on Sunday readers. While growing up I was always told to never count the chicks before they hatch.
Polls show the Republican Gubernatorial candidate in California is down big (8 points), yet the tea bag pundits predict Meg Whitman to win over Jerry Brown. That's why anuses are like opinions, everyone has one.
Let the voters decide, then start your psycho babble BS.
NFTOS calls and predicts O'Donnell, Angle, Miller, Whitman, Fiorina losers in their respective races.
Stay tuned, as NFTOS dissects the races and implications of votes casted.
BREAKING NEWS: Voters call in complaining that Christine O'Donnell supporters committing voter intimidation.
In less than 12 hours my fellow Virginian's shall be voting in the mid-term elections. A few heated seats are up for the taking. The Virginia Beach Republican running for office against Glenn Nye (Democrat) slams B-ROCKS stimulus plan. Mr. Rigell for US Congress contravenes the plan. Yet part of the plan was "cash for clunkers', to which Mr. Rigell is a automotive dealer whom took 400,000 dollars of the cash for clunkers program! Can we say hypocrite?
In my region we get Krystal Ball (yes we agree sounds like a porn actress name) who is running in Virginia's 1st congressional district election, 2010. While her platform is strong she has zero experience in politics. Her opponent Rob Whittman will more than likely win the seat.
In National political news, the masses have spoken early. ABC announced that it would entertain " subject matter expert analysis" from "real time" voting tomorrow. Andrew Breitbart CEO of extreme right wing ideology (and the concoctor of the Shirley Sherrod video) and his minion Dana Loesch where to be at best "biased commentators" for the struggling ABC news. ABC in the last 48 hours has been bombarded with American's calling for Andy to be removed, and removed he was. If you visit any Brietbart internet site his few followers (less than 100 comments on his personal blog) claim censorship, treason, and outright rage at their leader being ousted from his "analysis gig. ( Andy Breitbart articlehttp://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101101/el_yblog_upshot/breitbart-abc-news-spar-over-election-night-role)
Sara Palin has been quoted as saying that no one is "fit to tie Joe Miller's combat boots". HUH! Last time we looked the Messiah died many moons ago, and Joe Miller is no Messiah. She also claims that MSM is conspiring against Joe Miller.
A pot and kettle moment here for Joe and Sarah, as Joe the 'corrupt bastard" himself admitted to lying about usage of Government computers. What Miller did, according to his admissions, "was getting onto the computers of co-workers, going to the Joe Miller website, and then voting as others on a Miller poll on whether the Republican party should dump state chairman Randy Ruedrich.". His superiors admonished him for his behavior but also acknowledged that Miller had been under considerable stress. An email from Miller also contained in the records stated ""I acknowledge that my access to others' computers was wrong, participating in the poll was wrong, lying was wrong, and there is absolutely no excuse for any of it."
The endless string of fruit loops from the party of tea bags is never ending. From Ohio, to New York, from Nevada to Alaska. Delaware to Connecticut, from candidates whom disseminate bestiality videos, to Ohioan's dawning Nazi re-enacting uniforms, to candidates who believe that mice with fully functioning brains roam terra firma.
Because the founding documents of America do not align with your ideology, doesn't mean amending them and re-writing them are options. There not!
POTUS' analogy is spot on. We have had a car driven by the right. Bush and Cheney where by the worst to occupy the seats since the inception of these offices. Do we want too, and can we really afford too place our country in jeopardy that the right once had us in?
The moderate Republican died a few years ago, and we are left with the afterbirth of gun toting, white supremacist, save the rich-screw the poor mentality.
Bi-partisanship, will cease to exist as we know it under a tea bag regime, the "tan man" (John Boehner) has made that very clear. Can we as a country really absorb the "establishment" of the extreme right?
In case you missed Olbermann's depiction of "tea bag society" below is a nineteen minute video of tea bags running for office, and their less than coherent stances on America.
NFTOS has posted over 98 blogs castigating, vituperating, denunciating, the extremist right. 98 blogs proving discrediting, quashing, exposing, negating, shooting holes in the ideology that is "the lunatic fringe" of a "right "Government.
Voting is a method for a group such as a meeting or an electorate to make a decision or express an opinion—often following discussions, debates, or election campaigns. It is often found in democracies and republics. In a representative government, voting commonly implies election: a way for an electorate to select among candidates for office. In politics voting is the method by which the electorate of a democracy appoints representatives in its government.
A vote is an individual's act of voting, by which he or she expresses support or preference for a certain motion, a certain candidate, a selection of candidates, or a political party.
Modern political science has questioned whether average citizens have sufficient political information to cast meaningful votes. We hope that we have given you enough erudition to make a choice that best suits you.
Suffrage, political franchise, or simply the franchise is the civil right to vote, or the exercise of that right.
" We live in hard times, not end of world times", two parties polarized by hate for each other is never more venomous than today. More so for the right as the anger by the tea party is always prevalent in MSM.
Despondent as it is, that two comediennes have to show us how truly out of keel our society is when it comes to politics.
We repeatedly hear how "unsustainable" things in our country are. Certainly America is "unsustainable" under a tea bag regime.
Tea bag candidates are a little less than desirable? No way! Five days till mid-term voting and we just realize that O'Donnell, Angel and clan have more than a few screws loose.
Republicans are ready to seize the country readers.
Today thinkprogess.org discloses How The ‘US’ Chamber Uses Its Money To Pay Pundits, Manipulate Google, And Create Fake News Outlets. http://thinkprogress.org/
If the above doesn't make you want to regurgitate, learning that Foreign-Funded U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Advocates For Weakening Law Against Bribing Foreign Governments should defiantly turn the ole bread basket.
And if the above Molotov cocktail isn't dangerous enough, right wing REPORT: "111 Republican Incumbents And Candidates Want To Eliminate The Department Of Education". Yes that's 111 Republicans stand firmly on dousing the Department. http://thinkprogress.org/
The GOP in their giddiness for rule of house and senate tell B-ROCK "There Will Be ‘No Compromise’"!
The below video depicts a lost Christine O'Donnell. To sue or not to sue, if this doesn't solidify a loss for her then God have mercy on us all! Maybe Christine's tea is a bit too strong?
The next series of videos are of Sharon Angle. They really need very little verbiage from us here at NFTOS. They speak for themselves. Apparently the more cretinus you are, the better candidate you are for the new republican. We at NFTOS find it hard to fathom that we have to repudiate the psychosis of the "strange brew". Apparently this is appealing to the right. To coin a Al Davis quote, "just win baby".
Angle in backstroke mode.
"Can we have media report my way please"!
And finally, we just can't make this up. "STRANGE BREW"......Indeed!
Readers, we here at NFTOS are about global and domestic security, healthy communities, media accountability, and social and economic justice. We are against public corruption, corporate malfeasance, incompetent establishments, and radical right wing agendas.
Please get out and vote, for not doing so jeopardizes what we accomplished so far. Going backwards is not an acceptable choice with regards to our country. Let your voice be heard loud and clear, and tell the baggers HELL NO!
John Boehner and Eric Cantor are already measuring the drapes and plotting tea bag extremism to revamp America to circa 1773. The possibility that tea bags could control both house and senate is never more real than six days prior to the mid-term voting process.
The newest version of axis of idiots will push for more than $100 billion in spending cuts, tax reductions and attempts to undo key parts of President Barack Obama's health care and financial regulation laws.
CBS News Poll analysis shows that only 29 % of Americans support the tea party movement.
The name "Tea Party" echoes the Boston Tea Party, a 1773 incident when colonists destroyed British tea rather than paying what they considered a tax that violated their right to "No Taxation without Representation, to which this is where the new GOP would want our country to be 1773.
Currently 86% of tea baggers think climate change is a hoax. Tea partiers want to repeal the health care law, but two thirds of Americans either like or want it to go further. 59% of Americans support gay marriage and civil unions. Tea partiers support traditional gender roles where men are in charge like Glenn Beck, and women are soft and emotionally fragile with spooky mood swings like Glenn Beck.” Six in ten Americans think illegal Mexicans should have a path to citizenship and be allowed to stay here, and the other four in ten are illegal Mexicans.”
If you live in key states where the extremist want to rule, it's imperative upon you to look deeply at these candidates. Sharon Angle, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ken Buck, Keith Rothfus, Christine O'Donnell are political idiots that want to repeal every constitution that exists.
The list or host of "know nothings' running for office is astounding. What does it say readers when candidates run and hide from queries addressed to them? What are they hiding?
What happens when hate voting puts these far out extremist into running our country? Who is responsible when Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell are in these seats ? Can we really be this mad at our country to vote these unabashed radical extremist into office?
Before you vote, research your choices. The outcome of not doing so will jeopardize our Country.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann breaks down a tea bag society.
Can we really afford to have politicians with such radical outlandish views making policy for us?
If nothing else, the tea bag movement is a flaky dogma producing machine. Aided and abetted by their echo chamber at Fox News, members of the raging right will gather at so-called Tea Parties around the country to vote for the misguided and misinformed. To be sure, what theoretically began as a protest against profligate government has morphed into a Rorschach Test of right-wing political grievance.
Glenn Beck's astro-turf acolytes decry saboteurs and "communists," evolution and "brainwashing machines." The tea baggers' strange brew of Birthers and Birchers proclaim Barack Obama foreign-born while issuing calls to "burn the books." In the end, the far-right foaming at the mouth is enough for mainstream America to see that all four legs are not under the table.
These furious and frothing tea bagger apparently believes King George III is still oppressing his colonial subjects under the yoke of the Townshend and Tea Acts.
Fiscal conservative Andrew Sullivan is quoted as saying:
"These are not tea-parties. They are tea-tantrums. And the adolescent, unserious hysteria is a function not of a movement regrouping and refinding itself. It's a function of a movement's intellectual collapse and a party's fast-accelerating nervous breakdown."
And if their misunderstanding of the Boston Tea Party wasn't bad enough, their choice of tea bagging as metaphor is more unfortunate still.
