DANA LOESCH & ARI FLEISCHER

DANA LOESCH

Neither are just another pretty face, more like liars and deceivers.

Make no mistake, Dana Loesch is everything disgusting about a teabagger - just all one ball of crap rolled into one. Loesch a college drop out never earning a journalism degree, and this makes sense, as I just don't see "writer" in her. She self professes on a daily basis while standing on her hypocritical lectern on how much "fact" is provided in her writings, yet time and time again, we find this blockhead missing the truth by about this....................................................................................much!

ARI FLEISCHER

On Friday, ThinkProgress exclusively reported that Ari Fleischer was involved in Komen’s strategy regarding Planned Parenthood. They revealed that, in December, Fleischer was retained by Komen to advise how to fill their top communications position, and he drilled candidates on how they would handle the Planned Parenthood issue.

Yesterday, Ad Age further reveals that, throughout the controversy, Fleischer has personally advised Komen CEO Nancy Brinker on how to handle the Planned Parenthood issue.

Friday, Fleischer told ThinkProgress he had no involvement in the crisis communications effort. In an email sent to ThinkProgress after the publication of our story, Fleischer claimed our entire report was “inaccurate,” “unfair,” and “simply false” because it created the implication that he was involved with Komen’s strategy in recent days.Yesterday, ThinkProgress asked Fleischer to explain his email now that he’s acknowledged he personally advised Komen’s CEO on Planned Parenthood strategy in January and February. Fleischer now claims that he was not involved in strategy because he did not participate “in any meetings or on any conference calls.”  As for why he objected to ThinkProgress’ initial report — which now appears to have understated the true scope of his involvement — Fleischer said it failed to get the “emphasis right.”


Now enter Dana Loesch, whom never misses an opportunity to be the asshat of the century. Fleischer and Loesch have often worked frequently on CNN during GOP primaries - so in her infinite wisdom to blast others before having facts Loesch once again opens mouth and inserts foot.

I captured screenshots last night as I thought Loesch and Breitbart would edit the content:

This screenshot shows a post asking Loesch to retract. This points to the error of the "Diva's" ways, and the story falls apart:

Loesch getting facts wrong and having to fix error all the while insulting in her non-apology.

Big Journalism’s Loesch, CBS’s Attkisson Receive 2012 ReedIrvine Accuracy in Media Award.

AIM Is A Cesspool Of Hate And Conspiracy Theories.

Lets be clear readers, receiving an award from the right wing fringe group "AIM" (Accuracy In media) is like getting a humanitarian award from the Adolph Hitler Society. Speaking of oxymoron's, Loesch and facts, they go together like:

Facebook and Privacy, Middle East and Peace, Susan Boyle and sexy, Bill Gates and poverty, and porn & subtle.

So it would make great sense why Loesch wins the AIM award, two peas in a pod so to speak. Despicable and vile go together well, hence AIM awarding Loesch the "accuracy" award. This is like awarding you kid high school honours for failing high school, or acknowledging David Koresh for mass murdering!

Dana the Diva is a certified lunatic and a modern-day version of Phyllis Schlafly.

Here is an entire blog that solely concentrates on the BS that comes from this radical teabagger.

Dana Loesch wouldn't know the truth if she fell over it. A popular theme from this darling (sarcastic) - Loesch's favourite spew, "The Media Narrative Gets it Wrong."! The one thing that Loesch is good at - and that is insulting anyone whom doesn't align with her f**ked up mentality!

Fleischer is the creature who spent years supporting the insidious lies emanating from the Offal office of G.W. Bush .

Satan: "Ari, your work is not done yet".
Ari: "Yes, master".

The very fact that Ari Fleischer even commented on this problem shows he is much more involved than he admits. If Nancy Brinker as CEO makes $500,000 salary, god knows how much Ari and Ms. Handel make for their input. Those people never do anything unless it pays big money.

"Fleischer, who retains a host of influential political and sports clients, makes his money as head of a private consulting company which markets itself as being able to “successfully deal with the media.” If this is his idea of successfully dealing with the media, I'd hate to see what he thought a disaster was. Considering that George W. Bush left office being universally regarded as the worst President this country had ever had except possibly for Ronnie Reagan, why would anybody think seriously about hiring this criminal? (Valerie Plame outing)

So, Ari and Handel, in one fell swoop, destroyed the credibility of one of the most revered and respected brands in the country by trying to politicize one of the most serious heath concerns of all women. Idiots in the name of what? forcing their archaic beliefs on people?

Here's a PR Tip Fleischer should have given Komen: don't ask a former presidential press secretary who's still politically active for media management advice when you're in trouble for turning an apolitical issue into a political one.

Ari Fleischer and Dana Loesch are in essence liars working for liars.

The truth about Loesch:

She is Andy Breitbarts editor. And yes, it’s a perfect fit because Big Journalism exists as an open forum for right-wing misinformation about the press (as opposed to a site that produces actual journalism), and Loesch has made a name for herself within the RW blogosphere by making shit up. (She does the same on the AM dial.)

Dana Loesch claims to be a champion of "conservative feminism," took all of ten minutes to undermine any inkling of moral authority she might have on the subject during a Twitter argument with actual feminists not long ago.

So, first of all, Loesch's claim that "liberal feminists" have an issue with "being pretty" is laughable. The vast majority of feminists I've met don't think there's something wrong with "being pretty:" rather, they simply think that women shouldn't be defined by their looks. It's a critique of the all-too-obvious fact that society often overemphasizes the standards for attractiveness in women, and often underemphasizes other abilities.

Got that? While bragging about how much more enlightened "conservative feminsts" are compared to "liberal feminists," Loesch claims that the people arguing with her have IBTs (which, according to some societal standards, is less cool than GBTs?). So even as she is arguing that liberal feminists place restrictions on women based on their looks, Loesch attacks the women trying to have a discussion with her based on their looks! Or at least, what she imagines about their looks. Could she be more ridiculous?

Loesch often berates the "Liberal media". There is no such thing as the "Liberal Media." It's just a Right-Wing diversion trick to give Faux News more ratings, and for the corporatist media to pander to their interests.

Loesch's transformation from mom blogger to political provocateur has been equal parts of bullshit and mind numbing lunacy! Believe it or not Loesch was once a Democrat.

Loesch likes to be polarizing, Ann Coulter type of polarization, sharp tongue in hand if you will. Loesch like most teabaggers make themselves out to be a victim, "woe-is-me".

Steven Truesdell a progressive, photographer, and pal of Loesch says:

"I do like her, and a couple times a year we'll be at a social event and have a nice conversation. I do think there's a good heart there; I just disagree with everything above the neck."

Loesch's ideology strikes a chord with most Americans, conservative or Liberal, that's just her nature. Loesch turned coat when she met her husband, a man with less testicles than his wife. It's he whom wanted the voice for his ideology, it's he - the one who didn't have the backbone himself to stand and rant on courthouse lawns, what better patsy then to throw the diva under the bus an make her your voice. I just respect a man so much whom literally hides behind his wife!

If Loesch wants to be respected as a "journalist", then maybe she should start with just the facts, not half cocked and half- baked thoughts. This fiasco alone shows that facts are not important to Loesch, raging against the machine at any costs is the "narrative" for this teabagger.

To date, Loesch has still failed to practice what she preaches, that is retract the lies and bullshit in her blog yesterday, and knowing what we know about this douche bag, something tells us hell will freeze over before she does!


UPDATE: 16:39 2/8/2012

Loesch issues her version of retraction:

"*UPDATE: After publishing the initial article and blaming Fleischer for Daly’s decisions (they spelled it “Dailey” on Twitter), Think Progress spoke with Komen CEO Nancy Brinker who discussed the scope of Fleischer’s advice to the organization. After the proverbial trash hit the fan Brinker had asked Fleischer of his opinion on the matter. Think Progress, eager to avoid a retraction, pounced on this to justify their earlier smear, done before speaking to anyone at the foundation. They probably feel as though they just escaped the guillotine. Unfortunately for them, my point still stands, and yes, they still blamed Fleischer for decisions made by a former Pelosi aide. Komen asking Fleischer’s opinion after the fact has no effect on the validity of my accusation made against Think Progress. It does however, place greater significance on how hard they’re working to deflect any and all blame towards a former Pelosi aide."

This is your a-typical "I f**cked up" apology from Loesch, admitting that she is wrong would be totally out of character for this dimwit, for God Knows she thrives on her ability to never be wrong and err. Loesch' s point is often that she has no point - useful idiot comes to mind. Thanks for the retraction Diva Dana, even if it wasn't one, we know what you meant, if anyone is "deflecting" its Loesch!

"A slick move, to blame the other team for your side’s transgressions in order to deflect. Sources close to the Komen Foundation tell me Fleischer wasn’t involved in any way with Komen’s Planned Parenthood strategy"....... yet Ari admits his wrong deeds.....facts still seem to elude this queen of hate. Get over yourself Diva, you aren't that important!

Southern Strategy

GOP - "I can 't be a racist, my best friend is black"

We have learned of late how truly racist teapublicans are, but that's ok. Why you ask? Because "One of their Best Friends is Black".

Some of you may recognize this from the 1960s. It was the standard moderate-to-liberal White excuse that they couldn’t possibly be racist, because … “one of my best friends is Black,” or, more in keeping with the decade, “one of my best friends is a Negro.”

It’s sort of like the 2000 RNC Convention in Philadelphia, whose stage looked like a road show revival of ‘Porgy and Bess’ but when the cameras panned to the obligatory crowd reaction scenes, it was a sea of White. Or the Sarah Palin rallies in 2008, which were seas of White, excepting the poor undercover Secret Service Detail, who were the only Black men (or Black Persons) in the arena, and must have felt pretty strange. After all, Secret Service are, by nature, undercover, and being the only Black person in a suit in an entire arena of Righty-Whities - coming to listen to racially coded language has got to be a surreal experience that few have ever experienced.

Remember back when - with former CEO Herman Cain on the stage, the once “Who Wants To Be President?” Game Show, or, perhaps, “Future American Idol” - the stage is Lily-White with the exception of Herman Cain, the non-politician candidate who gets in, while the former Governor of Louisiana, Buddy Roehmer, is consistently excluded, etc.

Why? Because “some of our Best Friends are Black.”

As if that were an excuse. But even Juan Williams, the fired NPR pundit who found that serving his new master at Faux News uses the excuse. In his book tour and to this day, he maintains that his comments that Muslims make him nervous - his defense is that he was active in the Civil Rights movement and wrote a book about how Blacks have been discriminated against.

Or, absurdly, “I can’t be a racist, because some of my best friends are Black.”

I offer this as preface, because this absurdist formulation has reared its head on many occasions this teapublcian campaign season.

But there is no doubt that the GOP is not a party for “Blacks.” Sorry. Teapublicans claim, as does Herman Cain, that if Blacks merely understand their policies, then they’d overcome their “brainwashing,” and vote teapublican.

One cannot forget that the "contemporary Republican Party" was born with the Southern Strategy, winning over the former Jim Crow South to its side of the political aisle, and as a backlash against the civil rights movement. This is a formula for a politics of white grievance mongering and white victimology; a dream world where white conservatives are oppressed, their rights infringed upon by a tyrannical federal government and elite liberal media that are beholden to the interests of the “undeserving poor,” racial minorities, gays, and immigrants.

In keeping with this script in order to win over Red State America, the 2012 teapublican presidential candidates have certainly not disappointed. Both overt racism and dog whistles are delectable temptations that the teapublican presidential nominees cannot resist. With the election of the country’s first African-American president, and a United States that is less white and more diverse, the GOP is in peril. In uncertain times, you go with what you know. For the teapublican Party, this means “dirty boxing,” digging deep into the old bucket of white racism, and using the politics of fear, hostility and anxiety to win over white voters by demagogue Obama.

Racism is an assault on the common good. Racism also does the work of dividing and conquering people with common interests. While the 2012 teapublican candidates are stirring the pot of white racial anxiety, this is a means to a larger end—the destruction of the country’s social safety net, in support of vicious economic austerity policies, and protecting the kleptocrats and financiers at the expense of the working and middle classes.

The point is as clear as a crystal ball. The issue is exclusion, and when you’re as ham-handedly race-obsessed as to put up Herman Cain in as the "token Black" for all teapublicans to an almost entirely White audience, or Ali Akbar as the token Black for all (virtually all-White) Tea Partiers, you DO have a racial problem.

If you watch Faux News, you will note the astonishing profusion of Black “political strategists,” which would seem odd, given their actual proportion of the GOP political strategist class. Couldn’t be intentional “image” manipulation could it?

But you turn the outrageous tokenism inside out and it gives you the true color of the ( Southern-based) GOP’s racial obsessions. The invisible hand always leaves a footprint, and, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

It’s a denial of facts and a denial of reality, but then, perhaps it’s like Ayn Rand trying to convince greedy millionaires that their rapaciousness is actually moral, that they are the “Atlases” of civilization who hold the world on their mighty shoulders every time they throw a widow or an orphan into the street to get their hands on another piece of real estate.

In this case, since some of their "Best Friends are Black", they can’t possibly be racists.

Alas, accusing a teapublican in this benighted age of denial of facts is, alas, increasingly redundant.

But be careful, before you accuse me of being unfair to teapublicans, I want you to know that this is perceptibly impossible. Why you ask? Because some of my best friends are teapublicans.

Karen Handle radical teapublican out at Komen

Komen for the Cure Vice President for Public Policy Karen Handel is out! As of 10:34 est today she has submitted her resignation.




February 7, 2012

The Honorable Nancy Brinker

CEO, Susan G. Komen for the Cure VIA EMAIL

5005 LBJ Freeway, Suite 250

Dallas, Texas 75244

Dear Ambassador Brinker:

Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been the recognized leader for more 30 years in the fight against breast cancer here in the US – and increasingly around the world.

As you know, I have always kept Komen’s mission and the women we serve as my highest priority – as they have been for the entire organization, the Komen Affiliates, our many supporters and donors, and the entire community of breast cancer survivors. I have carried out my responsibilities faithfully and in line with the Board’s objectives and the direction provided by you and Liz.

We can all agree that this is a challenging and deeply unsettling situation for all involved in the fight against breast cancer. However, Komen’s decision to change its granting strategy and exit the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood and its grants was fully vetted by every appropriate level within the organization. At the November Board meeting, the Board received a detailed review of the new model and related criteria. As you will recall, the Board specifically discussed various issues, including the need to protect our mission by ensuring we were not distracted or negatively affected by any other organization’s real or perceived challenges. No objections were made to moving forward.

I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it. I openly acknowledge my role in the matter and continue to believe our decision was the best one for Komen’s future and the women we serve. However, the decision to update our granting model was made before I joined Komen, and the controversy related to Planned Parenthood has long been a concern to the organization. Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based on anyone’s political beliefs or ideology. Rather, both were based on Komen’s mission and how to better serve women, as well as a realization of the need to distance Komen from controversy. I believe that Komen, like any other nonprofit organization, has the right and the responsibility to set criteria and highest standards for how and to whom it grants.

What was a thoughtful and thoroughly reviewed decision – one that would have indeed enabled Komen to deliver even greater community impact – has unfortunately been turned into something about politics. This is entirely untrue. This development should sadden us all greatly.

Just as Komen’s best interests and the fight against breast cancer have always been foremost in every aspect of my work, so too are these my priorities in coming to the decision to resign effective immediately. While I appreciate your raising a possible severance package, I respectfully decline. It is my most sincere hope that Komen is allowed to now refocus its attention and energies on its mission.

Sincerely,

Karen Handle

Good riddence teabagger!

Why, it seems like only last week, founder and CEO Karen Brinker was insisting that Handel did not have anything to do with this decision. Oh, right. That's because it was last week:

Someone from Susan G. Komen for the Cure is lying, and her name is Nancy Brinker, and now Handel confirmes it with her resignation letter. Its time for Brinker to exit stage left as well!

VOTER FRAUD, TEAPUBLICAN STYLE

Background:
When it comes to voter fraud, teabaggers have used every book in the trade to conjure up Democratic voter fraud. Enter Andrew Breitbart and protégé James O'Keefe.

Breitbart and O'Keefe woule be the "males' in the picture

O'Keeffe and Breitbart are some of the sleaziest humans to troll the land, even to teabagger standards, these two are the crap buzzards wont even touch! If your looking for doctored videos regarding politics and Democratic organizations, than these two are your men. Here is just a short list of this dynamic duos character attacks against progressives.

Now the blog for the day:

The long saga of Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White (R) isn't over yet -- but it now it includes a conviction on 6 felony charges. White, the top elections official in his state, was indicted last March on charges that he lied about where he lived to remain on the voter rolls in the Fishers, IN district where he served on the city council along with other related charges. On Friday, he was convicted on 6 out of 7 felony charges and was immediately replaced by a new interim director.

The Indianapolis Star reports that the conviction may not be the end of this time at the top of the state's electoral law enforcement structure:

White, 42, Fishers, plans to ask a judge to reduce his convictions – all class D felonies – to misdemeanors at sentencing. It’s uncertain whether that move would allow him to reclaim his job.

“We don’t know the right answer to that,” White said. “This is all very new.”

Shortly after White’s verdict was read, Gov. Mitch Daniels announced in a news release shortly before 3 a.m. that he has appointed Jerry Bonnet, White’s chief deputy, as interim secretary of state.

“I have chosen not to make a permanent appointment today out of respect for the judge’s authority to lessen the verdict to a misdemeanor and reinstate the elected office holder,” the Republican governor said in the news release. “If the felony convictions are not altered, I anticipate making a permanent appointment quickly.”

But state Democrats say it's time for White to go.

“It’s obvious that Mitch Daniels will try anything to take back this fraudulent election, but there’s only one thing that should happen now: Vop Osili [the Democrat White defeat in the Sec. of State race in 2010] should become Secretary of State, and we should put the embarrassment that is Charlie White behind us," state Democratic party chair Dan Parker said in a statement.

Here's a timeline of the case from the Star.

I wonder if Brietbart and O'Keefe will do their version of "Punked" on Republican Charlie White? I would say that if we need to look at voter fraud we may want to start with those throwing the biggest stones, those being radical teapublicans. We have learned long ago that any news source coming from either Breitbart and O'Keefe should never be held as "truthful".

Words never associated with Brietbart and O'Keefe are:

accepted, accredited, acknowledged, admissible, appropriate, authorized, canonical, certain, cogent, consistent, correct, customary, fair, genuine, innocent, just, justifiable, lawful, licit, logical, natural, normal, official, on the level, on the up and up, orthodox, probable, proper, real, reasonable, received, recognized, regular, reliable, rightful, sanctioned, sensible, sound, statutory, sure, true, typical, usual, verifiable, warranted, and well-founded.

We see daily more and more hypocrisy from the radical GOP. The Charlie White and Govna Mitch Daniels fiasco just coagulates this open wound. This sore is one that needs to be healed during the November elections, and using your voice and outing this bunch of radical, lying, troglodytes is the first step in ensuring our country progresses and not regresses.

What's interesting is White knew that he was committing voter fraud but did it anyway for political power. White cheated the system—and gamed the system.

This conviction should be liberating for Hoosiers who've known since 2010 that White should never have been elected, but Indiana Democrats tell me that they will not rest until they win the fight against teapublican hypocrisy on voter fraud.

Those right of center whom are considering the actions of Charlie White, consider yourselves on notice, we are tired of the nonsense of the galactically stupid!

I leave you with the following: "Democrats need to push the rest of their agenda while their boot is on the neck of greedy poisonous old reptile"~ Bill Maher

SUSAN G. KOMEN Apologizes and Komen for the cure retracts past 48 hours and is now once again funding Planned Parenthood.

Thanks to readers like yourselves, your voice (we had over 200 thousand readers to this blog yesterday) was heard loud and clear, just like SOPA/PIPA reality slapped these leaders into doing the right thing - the masses of our country said, enough is enough.

Well done America, we need to keep showing radical teapublicans that we have had enough of the shit, and we are the ones taking back our country!

Official statement from Brinker, founder and CEO:

"Komen for the Cure just released the following statement from Nancy Brinker and the Susan G. Komen Board of Directors:

We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives.

The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not.

Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.

Our only goal for our granting process is to support women and families in the fight against breast cancer . Amending our criteria will ensure that politics has no place in our grant process. We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.

It is our hope and we believe it is time for everyone involved to pause, slow down and reflect on how grants can most effectively and directly be administered without controversies that hurt the cause of women. We urge everyone who has participated in this conversation across the country over the last few days to help us move past this issue. We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics - anyone's politics.

Starting this afternoon, we will have calls with our network and key supporters to refocus our attention on our mission and get back to doing our work. We ask for the public's understanding and patience as we gather our Komen affiliates from around the country to determine how to move forward in the best interests of the women and people we serve.

We extend our deepest thanks for the outpouring of support we have received from so many in the past few days and we sincerely hope that these changes will be welcomed by those who have expressed their concern."

Susan G. Komen "United We Cave"

Susan G. Komen Foundation Caves To Radical Teabaggers

CONTROLLED FUNDING:

Under massive pressure from radical congressional teapublcicans, Komen for the Cure announced an end this week to its grants to Planned Parenthood for screening and education programs. By way of a defense, the nation's most prominent breast-cancer organization said "it had adopted new funding standards" - organizations facing investigations by local, state, or federal authorities would be cut off.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation has severed its ties with Planned Parenthood? (Shaking head)

As a result, hundreds of thousands of dollars — nearly $700,000 last year alone — no longer will fund breast cancer screenings and other breast-related services for low-income and uninsured women at 19 Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country.

Komen made the decision in December, but the news didn't get out until this week. Before Komen went into lockdown mode, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press that this decision had nothing to do with the relentless pressure from anti-abortion groups that want to drive Planned Parenthood into extinction.

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

So why did an extremist anti-abortion group brag online about the funding cuts two weeks before Komen told Planned Parenthood?

For at least the past six years, the Susan G. Komen foundation and Planned Parenthood have been partnering giants in this fight for women's health.
 
The widely-held assumption has been that Komen's explanation is a thinly-veiled excuse, intended to obscure a politically-motivated decision. The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg reports that the assumptions are well grounded:

Three sources with direct knowledge of the Komen decision-making process told me that the rule was adopted in order to create an excuse to cut-off Planned Parenthood. (Komen gives out grants to roughly 2,000 organizations, and the new "no-investigations" rule applies to only one so far.)

The decision to create a rule that would cut funding to Planned Parenthood, according to these sources, was driven by the organization's new senior vice-president for public policy, Karen Handel, a former gubernatorial candidate from Georgia who is staunchly anti-abortion and who has said that since she is "pro-life, I do not support the mission of Planned Parenthood." (The Komen grants to Planned Parenthood did not pay for abortion or contraception services, only cancer detection, according to all parties involved.) [...]

Another source directly involved with Komen's management activities told me that when the organization's leaders learned of the Stearns investigation, they saw an opportunity. "The cart came before the horse in this case," said the source, who spoke to me on condition of anonymity. "The rule was created to give the board of directors the excuse to stop the funding of Planned Parenthood. It was completely arbitrary. If they hadn't come up with this particular rule, they would have come up with something else in order to separate themselves from Planned Parenthood."

Goldberg went on to say:

"that Komen's decision was so contentious within the organization that Mollie Williams, the group's top public health official, resigned in protest immediately following the Komen board's decision to cut off Planned Parenthood.

Now the Komen foundation has let the radical teapublicans relentless war on women derail this mighty force for justice.

When did misogyny become the new national past time? I find it particularly appalling when self loathing female politicians chooses to join in the fun aimed at destroying women's reproductive health care. Many members of the "Our Bodies Ourselves" generation believed this kind of oppression of women in general - poor women in particular to be the stuff reminiscent in a Dickensian nightmare. Radical teapublicans are making charities corrupt.

When you peel back the onion, reality and facts show Komen crumbled under massive pressure from the radical right!

As we speak, I am fighting cancer myself (Prostate), the Komen foundation cannot convince me that their decision to defund Planned Parenthood was not political. NFTOS and West Media will refuse to support any organization that does not trust a women to make their own decisions about their bodies and their reproductive health. Any donation we would have made to Komen will now be diverted to Planned Parenthood.

Ladies, you need to take back your reproductive rights and by doing so, insure that health care for low income women exists tomorrow.

Komen has strong links to the anti-choice movement. Its new vice president of public policy, Karen Handel, ran for governor of Georgia in 2010 on an aggressively anti-choice platform, part of which was a pledge to defund Planned Parenthood.

Komen needs to hear that we won't stand for this kind of political posturing when real lives are at stake.

Tell them to reestablish funding for Planned Parenthood now.

Post Script: Keep an eye on Washington today as Capitol Hill sources tell me that there will be some additional word from Democratic lawmakers outraged by Komen's decision.

UPDATE: 2/2/12 14:49

The Susan G. Komen Foundation, and its senior vice president of public policy, Karen Handel, who is "staunchly and unequivocally pro-life," have been getting beat up pretty bad for the blatantly political decision to stop funding cancer screen and prevention at Planned Parenthood.

It appears that yesterday, Handel signed on to the "cry me a freaking river" sentiment on Twitter that anti-choicers are gleefully expressing because nothing makes them happier than women dying of cancer if it means sticking it to the nation's biggest provider of health care to women.

However, since that sentiment didn't really lend credence to the Komen Foundation talking point that its decision wasn't political, the tweet was deleted.

But, as sharp-eyed Lisa McIntire tweeted, "This is why we take screen shots."

Karen Handel is apparently a typical teapublican and doesn't understand how the internet works. Nice try, Ms. Handel, but too late. The tweet may be gone, but your true feelings about this horrible decision is already out there, and it has been spread far and wide.

UPDATE: 2/2/12 16:40

US Democartic Senate issues letter to Komen



UPDATE: 2/2/12 18:51

The below is a trailer for a documentary coming out Friday about the "pinkification" of breast cancer. Could it be any more timely, considering the exposure of the Susan G Komen Foundation as a right-wing tool? So much information has emerged, so little time. With many thanks to those who contributed links to NFTOS via email, I'd like to suggest that we support this film, and all efforts to marginalize the Komen's foundation hijacking of women's health for right-wing causes.

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.

ABOUT- FACE

Allen West Telling Democrats to "Leave America"

Yesterday I brought you a story on "agitators". Keynote speaker of my blog was Lt. Col Allen West (Again no relation to me). This morning West now sees his statements coming back to haunt him.

Lt. Col West is engaged in a rapid about-face, appearing both on CNN and Faux news this morning to insist that what he said is not actually what he said.

On CNN, West demanded that a skeptical host Soledad O’Brien to view the entire speech an realize that “he was simply trying to draw attention to the decline of a country” at the hands of people who hold values that are “not in concert with our constitutional republic.” “And if you can’t understand that,” he added, ” please come down to South Florida, you and I can read the Federalist Papers.” Later on Fox and Friends, West told host Steve Doocy, “I did not refer to any person leaving”:

WEST: The other thing is that I did not refer to any person leaving. If you go back and read the transcript of the message that I gave, it was about equality of achievement, it was about economic dependence, it was about enslaving the American entrepreneur’s will and spirit. That message needs to leave this country. And that was what I was referring to. And I think that anyone that sat back and looked at the entirety of that 12 minute, 45 second speech would understand that we’re talking about a contrast of visions of this country.

ABOUT-FACE VIDEO:

Looking back at the transcript as requested, it’s pretty clear that West specifically named “President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and my dear friend, the chairman of the Democrat National Committee (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz)” to “take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States.”

Nonetheless, West has made a practice of lobbing incendiary rhetoric across the aisle and then blaming the news media for the resulting backlash. Reacting to Faux pundit Bob Beckel’s demand that West apologize, a somewhat thin-skinned West shot back, “I think Bob Beckel owes me an apology for saying that he would not refer to me as a Congressional representative nor as a lieutenant colonel, retired.”

Teapublicans don't apologize, especially Lt. Col West. They blame others for making them say the stupid things they say. It's never the fault of teapublicans to make irrational statements.

Allen West has a very different "vision," not just of this country, but of how to socially interact. He has proven, time and again, that he has a "shoot first" approach to life, unwilling or unable to be thoughtful - considering the consequences of what you say. His lack of impulse control - is not of benefit to this country in any leadership capacity.

I would tell the Lt. Col, "say what you mean and mean what you say." West is a troglodyte for saying what he said, and then to blame the media for the error of his ways - the character "two-faced" (Batman's villain) comes to mind.

Lt. Col Allen West

West suffers from that teapublican disease, hypocrite-itis - he is nasty piece of work, all this posturing about should someone apologize or not is both whiny and nauseating. Why give a foul-mouthed bomb thrower the opportunity to walk back his bombs?

Hopefully, Florida will wake up and give the Lt. Col a not so subtle hint - that he needs a less responsible and impactful job.

The Agitators

Kollwitz Kathe's "Political Agitator"

If you apply standard evolutionary theory to politics, you'd assume that teapublican politicians, as they climb up the food chain, would become more sophisticated, more intelligent and better adapted to an increasingly complex environment.

Not so, at least not here in America, where the progression from Mayor/House Speaker/Govna/Senator to POTUS is devolution at its most extreme - Want proof?

Upsetting the apple cart is the tactical blueprint for radical teas. There are many teapublican agitators in American. Hell the GOP will upset their own apple cart if it means a name on the presidential ballot this fall.

These agitators are emerging feverishly, the "Leave-Us-Alone Coalition" of property owners, anti-tax activists, gun owners, home- and private-schoolers, small business owners, religious radical conservatives who want the "government to stop interfering in their lives."

By contrast, the proponents of labor unions, government employees, progressive ideology, safe food, safe products, civil rights for all, regulation of federal markets, clean air and water, the middle class, for those whom believe in a forty hour work week, a minimum wage, Social Security, and welfare recipients - are taking hard noxious hits from these agitators.

The teapublicans have gained the support of so many by appealing to the worst instincts in human nature... greed, selfishness, arrogance, bigotry, fear, and hatred - the very things that our country has a proud legacy of rising above.

Teapublcian ideology is an air raid siren readers, not a dog whistle.

Allen West (No relation to blogger)

Alan West, a tea party-backed congressman from Florida raised questions about his mental stability with comments he made on Saturday arguing that President Obama and other top Democrats should “get the hell out of the United States of America.”

West was speaking at a meeting of Palm Beach, FL Republicans when he promoted the conspiracy theory that President Obama, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz were “enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people.”

Alan Keyes - "Obama the socialist"

A coat hanger apparently destroyed most of Keyes' brain, and this is why its imperative to keep abortion Safe and Legal. Proof in the pudding if you will.

 

Yes we Klan (caution language)

Sean Hannity denies a connection to a man affiliated with the KKK (Hal Turner), then admits it, then says it's not important.

Saranoya Palin 
Is it possible too have an IQ of zero? Every time Saranoya opens her mouth she proves that yes its possible.

Ann 'the man' Coulter and Dana "radical loud mouth" Loesch

Andrew Breitbart - Tea Party Agitator and pathological film editor

RNC Chair Priebus compares Obama to Captain Schettino

These low level troglodyte agitators are just plain bottom feeders, wolves in sheep clothing.

Frankly I’m disgusted with the behavior of these so called conservatives. They aren’t conservatives, they’re hypocrites. Two face, double dealing liars, labeling themselves as Americans - many of them claiming to be Christians. I call them domestic terrorists. Their behavior is both appalling and disgusting.

Congratulations Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the rest of you right wing demagogues, if agitation was your goal, then you have won the crown jewel.

As always, the past isn't even past. It is yesterday. Get ready NFTOS readers. What occurred in South Carolina, and what is currently happening in Florida is only a prelude for what the agitators are preparing - which is to unleash more incendiary, inflammatory remarks - in hopes of wrangling up the ire of the left, and engaging the ignorance of the right. What is coming to pass will be an repugnant, indigenous ride.

Saul Alinsky, GOP Boogey Man and Newt's Beast (DEVIL)

Saul Alinsky Community Organizer

Newt "slim ball" Gingrich often pepper sprays us with ludicrous connotations of Saul Alinsky and his connection to both progressives and POTUS Obama - and there is a great reason for that.

"And I believe, if we have a big election with truly historic big choices, that we can defeat Barack Obama by a huge margin...it will be an American campaign open to every American who prefers a paycheck to food stamps, who prefers the Declaration of Independence to Saul Alinsky and who prefers a strong national security to trying to appease our enemies," said Newt Gingrich

Why do Newt and fellow teapublicans fear the Alinksy boogeyman? Because he was a civil rights activist who advocated for blacks. Just like Democrats and our POTUS.

From Wikipedia:

"After a few years, by 1939, he became less active in the labor movement and became more active in general community organizing, starting with the slums of Chicago. His early efforts to "turn scattered, voiceless discontent into a united protest aroused the admiration of Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson, who said Alinsky's aims 'most faithfully reflect our ideals of brotherhood, tolerance, charity and dignity of the individual.'"

As a result of his efforts and success at helping slum communities, he spent the next 10 years repeating his organization work across the nation, "from Kansas City and Detroit to the barrios of Southern California." By 1950 he turned his attention to the African American ghettos of Chicago, where his actions would later earn him the hatred of Mayor Richard J. Daley, although Daley would later say that "Alinsky loves Chicago the same as I do." He traveled to California at the request of the San Francisco Bay Area Presbyterian Churches to help organize the black ghetto in Oakland. Hearing of his plans, "the panic-stricken Oakland City Council promptly introduced a resolution banning him from the city."

So its clearly easy to see why the pasty white racist would make the connection to Alinksy and POTUS, as they represent the same thing, "black America", which as we know is not something  within the thinking mechanism of GOP - dom - which is, recognizing that African Americans are human too.

Wikipedia's definition goes on to say:

"Nor did he have much respect for mainstream political leaders who tried to interfere with growing black–white unity during the difficult years of the Great Depression."

A documentary was done titled "The Democratic Promise: Saul Alinsky and His Legacy," which states that "Alinsky championed new ways to organize the poor and powerless that created a backyard revolution in cities across America."

The Democratic Promise

Real Time's Bill Maher - Alinsky related video starts @ 2:23, but for entertainment watch entire clip.

Episode 235 by BillMaher1956

Lord knows how dangerous it is to empower the poor, destitute and non-whites. Every time Newt mentions Alinksy, the deep rooted racist within him is exposed - by his nasty diaphoresis laden sports jacket. When you start piecing the Gingrich puzzle together, you assemble a vile, repulsive, racist, and the Alinsky puzzle piece is a hug component to showing us how immersed and subaqueous this racist is.

Whether your issuing and approving racist hate letters, or speaking from your lectern on Saul Alinsky, a racist is a racist no matter how you try to exscind it.

NFTOS READERS

We here at NFTOS are about transparency, truth, and debunking the radical ideology of those well right of center. We advocate for the Democratic, progressive movement and ideology. When I started my media firm almost two years ago, I never envisioned the turnout or success that NFTOS would achieve.

I started blogging for many reasons, foremost I was both vexed and aggrieved at a movement called "the tea party" movement. I couldn't just sit back idly by and allow these radical, racist, Gadsden flag stealers to go on without being repudiated!

Managing staff, writers, researchers, and site maintenance takes much time, and the fruits of our labor is upon us.

The below snapshot picture taken during a horseshoe meeting this afternoon is a milestone, for not only NFTOS, but for Democrats across this great land.

NFTOS BLOG STATS

NFTOS is quickly approaching 20 million hits/readers/page loads to our blog - in less than 24 months. Our voice is loud, our determination has never been more resolved, and with throughput like this, our mission is more defined.

Clearly our message is getting out. When we drill down these statistics, over 2 million readers have us either bookmarked or RSS feed to some type of device. This speaks volumes!

The intent of this blog is to thank you, our loyal readers, for our success is nothing without you! While there are bad apples out there whom disagree with us, and send us death threats and hate mail - and that's fine, "mission accomplished"! But an overwhelming amount of you, over 88% agree with our message, and at the end of the day, we have never been prouder to bring you NFTOS.

 
Thank You Progressives, be proud, and we greatly appreciate you visiting our site!

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!

MOON BASE

Protect your Moon base

In the latest tell-people-what-they-want-to-hear speech on the endless election circuit, teapublican presidential hopeful Newt "slime ball" Gingrich made a remarkable promise: he wants a moon base. Well... don’t we all?

Appealing to residents of the state's economically struggling "Space Coast," teapublican racist Newton Leroy Gingrich promised to have a permanent U.S. base on the moon by the end of his second term as president.

“By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.”

In reality the U.S. is no closer to having a colony on the moon than it was when the last astronauts left in 1972, but it’s not for a lack of thinking about it. Until 2010, a moon base was exactly what NASA was working toward.

Space policy expert John Logsdon, professor emeritus at George Washington University, told SPACE.com: 

"When we are not expecting a U.S. crewed launch to the ISS until 2016-2017 and are just getting started on a lunar-class launch vehicle, establishing a lunar outpost by 2020 is a fantasy,"

"It would be much better to set realistic goals, but that is not Mr. Gingrich's strong suit."

 

Given the parlous state of US finances and the retirement of NASA's shuttle fleet last year, the Newtster has raised a few eyebrows with his ambitious plans, but that did not seem to interfere with this grandiose vision for a moon colony as America's 51st state.

But how would the Newt-ron-bomb convince a future Congress to go along with what certainly would be an expensive proposition? President Obama couldn’t even convince Congress to give NASA an extra $6 billion over five years, and instead NASA’s budget has remained flat, without the big boost in technology development and science the current President was hoping for.

Technology will not be the problem when it comes to getting Gingrich’s (or even Bush’s) moon base built. With the right investment, America’s scientists and engineers could easily get the job done. The major issue today is the same as it was in 2004: where will the money come from?

In these economically straitened times, with Congress hell-bent on cutting every federal program going, finding the money to send a new generation of NASA astronauts to the moon will remain an impossible dream, and lets face it readers, we really need to concentrate on the "earth base" structures before we can focus on moon base fantasies.

My question to the Newt-ron-bomb, do we get Jedi Knight light sabers when we move to the moon?
