Open Thread Tuesday

To be able to dance like Cyd….heaven. Wanted to give a hearty congrats to O'Keefe, Giles, and the Big Hollywood and Big Government crews for that 83 to 7 smackdown of ACORN funding. I highly doubt it could have happened without you. Many thanks!

In the eyes of so many Americans, Mr. Wilson, you are being rebuked by Pelosi and the House democrats for speaking the truth.

I don't often give my money voluntarily to a politician, but in Mr. Wilson's case, and to show my utter contempt and disgust for Pelosi and her House dems, I will gladly be doing so as soon as the rebuke is voted on.

but those videos were doctored and highly edited, right? I mean those fired ACORN workers should really get a lawyer and file a wrongful termination suit. They either were fired for their actions or the tape is doctored. They can't have it bothways.

I'm figuring the only way to rebel now is to add "ist" to everything. And as obnoxious as things have gotten, I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before libs start making despisal of even bad things like being a hypocrite or a hater taboo, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve. Yup, I'm a hatist.

I have to agree with Larry Elder on F&F today. Wilson was rude, he was inappropriate, but he wasn't racist. We on the Right need to be able to make our points with decorum and class. The Right needs to be above reproach in all ways. if we sink to the Left's level, then they control the debate. If we make them come up to our level, we might actually be able to get stuff done.

If not, it'll at least make them angry and froth at the mouth, which will drive independents ever rightward.

Well hells bells, Joe Wilson is going to be reprimanded by the house, hopefully there will be paper work. Frame that puppy Joe, frame it, and display it as a badge of honor

I know what you mean. I only found out I was being moderated for using an@lysis because another poster caught it in his. Sadly (blonde disorder and all) it took me a minute to realize why.

BTW- h8terist is sooooo hip! (The kids still say hip, right??)

So I guess the old quote "The revolution will not be televised" is true. The mainline media are not showing the September 12th rallys accurately. How many were there? How many attended?
interesting.

Prescient catch, Buckwheat:

"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott-Heron.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

I know… I saw that too… it dispicable… I say charge those boys with a hate crime…

He ought to have a keg party after the reprimand with his supporters, who I'm sure are many. He can say it's the first of many, and he'll get even more supporters. Go Joe!

Conservatives try, but there's a difference between being above reproach and being a doormat. News people love stories of politicians and scandals, and they'll report them either way (they just leave off the party affiliation when it's a Democrat in trouble). If the media don't report the scandal, then people will look to those sources who do. And eventually, they'll notice that one party is more corrupt/morally bankrupt than the other, and it may sway the thinking of some.

I'm not saying we need to agree with the Dems on any point. But the politicians need to pick the right forum for editorial. A joint session of Congress is not the place for a grade-school outburst. An op-ed piece in the NY Times listing all Obama's lies with cited references is a much better method.

Excellent opinion on the morality – or I should say lack there of – of taxes by Dennis Prager.

In ordinary times, I might agree with you.
I don't need to remind you of how dem's behave on the House floor toward a president they hate, and not simply one isolated incident.

My estimation is that Mr. Wilson swayed many more people toward conservative thinking than he turned away. Conservatives have taken the licks from the Left long enough. Turning the other cheek any longer is counter-productive. People are fed up with rolling over, and the best means to make that known is what Mr. Wilson did and where he did it, especially in the face of a president lying through his teeth to America the entire time he was speaking.

I applaud Mr. Wilson for doing so

Uhm, there are drunken bores of all colors and stripes.

It's not about race. . .It's no different to the jackass Russell Brand's (who IICR is white) attempted humilation of Jordin Sparks at a previous award show.

Now go back to SF.

*MissQuinn*

The only reason Pelosi, the democrats, the left and the MSM have latched on to this story is because they are desperate to shift attention from their own actions on health care.

They'd bring up resolutions against a republican for taking the last cookie from the House cafeteria if they thought it would gain traction.

She'll be seeing a$$holes of every kind in show biz! Welcome to the world, million dollar baby!

No, No, NO.

Crime is crime. Period.
Charge them with assault.

The black community is hardly rallying behind West. West has thrown tantrums when he himself has lost to other black artists. It's not racial–West is just a d0uchE.

These dreary and hoary old 'charges' of so called 'racism'. It's time to stop living in fear of such accusations.

Okay, I've finally decided that the two greatest lines in all of movie history are:

1) "All those moments will be lost in time like tears. . .in. . .rain." –Rutger Hauer in BLADE RUNNER

2) "How dare you say penis to a dead woman." –Lilly Tomlin in ALL OF ME

I know… I was being facetious… because we all know that if it were the other way around it would be called a hate crime…

Cyd Charisse- looks yummy and leggy in the photo above. Magical in the 'Dancing in the Dark' sequence in THE BAND WAGON. I didn't dig the long ballet in SINGING IN THE RAIN. I must have missed her other films. Does she ever speak? Any heat from her aside regular dancer heat? *Learn some basic dances, men. It's a portal to another world of Cyd Charisse types and similar allures.

Most likely it will come out that the white kid used the "N-word" at some point, and the implication will be that, thus, he "got what he deserved." It's been my experience that whenever video or reports like this emerge, that's always the first line of defense, that the perpetrator is actually the victim, striking out, striking back, at America's shameful legacy of hate, bigotry and racism. And so on. And then everyone's like, "Yeah, right, okay…" And life goes on.

you, yelling at planes. are you dressed like Obi Wan?
that visual makes me laugh

Nathan –

It could be argued that making them angry and froth at the mouth is a worthy goal unto itself.

Consider yourself reprimanded, rebuked, disapproved of, or whatever else that bunch of Pelosi ding-dongs come up with………….

Count me in!

Or maybe one, or two, or all three are major league ass wipes. At this point none of us know what really started it.

When I was in high school, a huge fight broke out in the back. When I turned around to see, one guy had the other bent over at the waist and was kneeing him in the face. broken nose, blood every where.

The next day I learned the guy with the broken nose was pulling the other guy's hair, was told to stop several times or he'd be sorry.

In other words, the guy that looked like an asshole during the fight, was actually in the right, and the guy with the broken nose was ass. Even his older brother agreed, Tom was right to deck him.

Bible-Era Mystery Vessel Found — Code Stumps Experts
It didn't look like much at first, just a broken, mud-caked stone mug.
But when archaeologists in Jerusalem cleaned the 2,000-year-old vessel, they discovered ten lines of mysterious script.
These were common stone mugs that appear in all Jewish households" of the time, said lead excavator Shimon Gibson of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
"But this is the first time an inscription has been found on a stone vessel" of this type.
Deciphering the writing could provide a window into daily life or religious ritual in Jerusalem around the time of Jesus Christ

Hat supporters. Pfft, all alike. Big tent utopian dream. You show me a hat that would even deign to go under a tent and maybe I'll consider your argument. And trucker caps don't count. They're caps afterall and caps are different. They know about getting dirty, living with sweat rings. Nothing like those elitist hats.

Which under Congress' health care plan, will probably include treatment with mercury. Lots and lots of mercury.

I saw live footage on Fox News, there is no way there were only 75,000 people. I thought 2 million might be overblown, but I hope not.

I rather doubt it was staged. For one thing, if it was, I think we'd have heard about it by now, and for another, some reports stated that Swift and her mom were crying backstage after the incident. Which doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't staged, but Swift clearly wasn't in on it, which is just as bad. At the same time, though, I have no doubt the talk-show guys were gleefully rubbing their hands at this wealth of new material.

Oh, I'm sure Swift wasn't in on anything–but I can imagine Kanye thinking he'd drop a bomb to spike viewers on Leno, at least to boost his own sales. It's likely far more people watched Leno than the VMA's anyway.

You're actually saying that a baseball cap, that allowed it's very surface to be marred for the sake of advertising and promoting business, is the same as a gently moulded fedora that never even knew the suffering of a hot glue gun? Madness, man. Sheer madness.

I watched this just to see how a liberal (though the cutie claims she isn't) deals with facts. It's sad (but she's still a cutie).

Proof, please.

Its one big hollywood cesspool.

you can be a hatist. as for me, I am a haterist
the use of the word hater should be banned for anyone over 30 (so should "bling," "whatever," and off the ____[chain, hook, hizzy, etc.]." but that is another discussion) but if you add interesting suffixes to it, I will make an exception.

UPDATE: this is the missing post mentioned above.

I think it says something about beware of forked tongued false doom prophet fear mongers from the darkside.

I, perhaps like many victims, was merely flashing back to my own experience with abuse, in this case to my junior high school days, when my brother and I –not even minor league ass wipes– were repeatedly harrassed, assaulted, and beaten. Our "crime?" The color of our skin (which was, and continues to be, white).

The point people are making here is that the media and society have taught the masses to process stories like these by a simple syllogism: If the white guy's in the wrong, then the white guy's wrong; the black guy's in the wrong, then the white guy is still wrong –simply by virtue of that whiteness.

Sure, at this point nobody knows who or what started it. But the larger point is that if the black kid started it simply out of racial animus (which, contrary to what liberal politicians, media members, and educators might have you and everyone else believe, is entirely possible –repeated personal experience has pointed that painfully out to me) there will no repercussions whatsoever. The same would not, will not, hold true if the roles were or are reversed. I know it. And I think you do, too.

Yes, there are drunken bores of all colors and stripes, but only the white ones get reprimanded.

Since no votes are taken at a joint sessions, conservatives should just walk out or not show up at any future joint session related to Obama's pet domestic projects. Addressing the congress and senate together should be reserved for showing a united front at a time of war. Even the annual State of the Union addresses have debased the joint session.

The new politics of IGNORE If a million marchers show up to D.C..If the NEA is caught red handed schilling for Obama to get some good old fashioned Soviet/Maoist propoganda,If ACORN helping a future madam to enslave underage girls and probably advising thousands of more mundane tax cheating to occur, is not news worthy by the Lamestream media then I suggest a conspiracy.So start passing out the tinfoil hats.I'll take an extra large thank you.BTW.I am now wide awake.
