Thursday Super Pac Open Comments

From Breitbart.com – BigJournalism: Why the Media Hates and Fears the Super Pacs

To begin with, you can’t look at the mainstream media as a biased or out-of-touch entity. Instead, you have to look at the media for what it really is: a gaggle of left-wing operatives disguised as journalists who use objectivity and a near-monopoly to control the news and information-narrative all in an effort to damage the Right and promote the Left.

Truer words were never spoken. In another story, the discussion is how Fast & Furious FINALLY broke the national news. But never fear – the intent of the short mention was to uphold Holder’s testimony.

But to understand how terrified the media is of super PACs, you have to examine just how hypocritical and un-American their objections are.
First off, at its very core, the media is objecting to free and unlimited political speech — the very thing protected by the very first Amendment. The media’s outrage that there are now no longer restrictions on how much money a company or individual can spend to further a political cause, is the same as expressing outrage that that most sacred of American rights — unlimited political speech — is no longer limited by a tyrannical government.
But most hypocritically glaring is the fact that Obama, the Left, and the media (but I repeat myself) have always enjoyed many of the very same rights “Citizens United” has now given to everyone — but they wanted those rights all to themselves.

The Left believes that freedom of speech is reserved for the pigs in the big farm house. Because they are more equal.

    Yup, I told someone a few years back that the internet was the new printing press, just like old Ben had. It’s ironic that the lame stream media wants freedom of speech for themselves but no one else.

    In the United States Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. The United States Army also celebrates the Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted “the American continental army” after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.

    In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

    Barack Obama made a briefly reported “gaffe” where he said he’d been in “all 57 states and had one to go, the 58th.” It got a laugh from most Republicans and was buried by the mainstream media.

    It’s true! Bacon makes everything better, even boring republican presidential candidates.

    Reports that Romney will select Bacon for his running mate have not yet been confirmed. Personally, I hope he goes for someone funny, like Bachmann or Santorum.

    If it does close, it would be my hope that Main Post and Post Army Airfied are retained as Historic Sites, the warehouses, billeting, and office facilities into a business park, and the ranges incorporated into the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

    #35 Fat Albert, Biden is the most boring veep since Dan Quayle. He rarely says anything funny, and never says enough to make fun of. I’m guessing that he actually lives in the White House vegetable garden.

    The entertainment factor would be helped by a really fanatical far right wing lunatic veep like the the two I mentioned earlier, or for that matter any of the republican primary hopefuls. Even Texas Pastor/Governor Dick Hairy would be more interesting than Romney. Herman “If God didn’t want me to grope women he wouldn’t have made their asses as soft as deep dish pizza dough” Cain would be a real treat. But my favorite pipe-dream veep pick would have to be the country’s most megalomaniacal sheriff, Arizona’s Joe “The Birther” Arpaio.

    But I’m realistic. In the end Romney is likely to select a running mate that is at least as boring as he is. It’s not like he needs bonafide lunatic to boost his support among the religious right portion of the base like McCain did last time around.

    OK, why do we have to report funnel clouds to local law enforcement? Is there something they can do? Aside from blocking access to an area I do not see the point. Will local law enforcement verify the veracity of my statement? Do funnel clouds only exist if law enforcement says they exist? So many things to ponder on this Thursday.

    The Left and BoboLibertines have fretted over the shabby treatment of sweet little old nuns (LCWR) by the Vatican. As usual, they are clueless. But lucky for them

    It doesn’t take an advanced degree in theology to realize that the Vatican’s concerns are eminently reasonable.

    When the Magisterium reacts to assemblies and speakers that “challenge core Catholic beliefs;” when it challenges “policies of corporate dissent” from the Church’s moral teaching; and when it questions a “radical feminism” which “distorts faith in Jesus and His loving Father,” the Church is not butting in where it doesn’t belong.

    I can’t imagine why the Vatican would be concerned:

    Consider, for example, the keynote speaker for the LCWR’s forthcoming annual assembly, Barbara Marx Hubbard. One of her books is described as follows: “These higher frequency Evolutionary Codes selected from the journals of Barbara Marx Hubbard along with the accompanying meditation CD, Contact With Your Universal Self, are offered as a step-by-step experiential guide to personal transformation. The purpose of the 52 Codes is to awaken us to the guidance of our own Universal Self, the highest frequency of our being, so we can integrate these higher frequencies within ourselves to become Whole Beings, Universal Humans.” Barbara Marx sounds a bit like L. Ron.

    Fretted? Nah… Chuckled, yes. But still not satire worthy. That would require the selection of Bill “I’m so persecuted I whine 24×7” Donohue for Romney’s veep.

    This unprecedented vulgar assault on Christians cannot stand. If Jon Stewart doesn’t apologize, we will mount a boycott of his show’s advertisers. And we will enlist our allies in the Protestant, Jewish, Mormon and Muslim communities…
    …The cover-up is revealing. This episode of “The Daily Show” was done to protest Fox’s alleged indifference to the “war on women,” and in doing so Stewart not only made a vulgar attack on Christians, he objectified women.

    We are asking Stewart to apologize. If he does not, we will mobilize Protestants, Jews, Mormons and Muslims to join us in a boycott of his sponsors. Moreover, we will not stop with a boycott; there are other things that can be done to register our outrage. We are prepared to spend the money it takes to make this a nationwide issue, and we are prepared to stay the course.

    Romney knows how to put out an ad. The more he channels Ronaldus Magnus the better his campaign will become. Nothing worn out about “Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?” Wouldn’t hurt to throw in a few “There you go agains.”

    That should keep liberal knees knocking all the way to November 6th.

    Rush is commenting on Obama’s speech being given right now, but all the networks other than PMSNBC have dropped out of live coverage. Rush said at first it sounded like Obama was speaking in a mortuary–dead silence in the background. The speech is a patchwork of stuff from 2007-2008.

    Adee,

    It is good that justice has been served in this manner. Unfortunately there is still collateral damage from the initial fall out. The husband of a former business associate was one of the higher-ups in that organization. Luckily for him he was not high enough up to be charged with a crime. The bad part is the fact that anyone with a securities license that worked at that firm has a huge black mark against their name in the industry. They see Stanford on his resume and they suddenly do not want to give him the time of day.

    While it is good that Mr. Stanford got tossed into the slammer for his monetary indiscretions, why haven’t we heard anything about Mr. Corzine? I would hope that the aggrieved customers of MF Capital (or whatever the name was) will be filing numerous lawsuits against that company (because they hired him and had insufficient controls to monitor him) and him personally.

    Especially since there appears to be no law enforcement interest in his (self-admitted) dalliances.

    #61 Pyro: They chose to try The Rocket twice because, well, they claim he lied to congress. They KNOW that MacNamoron is a serial liar and he could have easily fabricated the “smoking gun” evidence, but they had to try Clemmons twice. There was a hung jury on John “The Breck Girl” Edwards when he obviously laundered campaign cash to hide his affair and love child, but he was a D so there was no need to re-try him. The NBP (klan with a tan) was not tried by the inJustice Dept, because they were black and Ds, for blatant violent threats and voter discrimination. John Corzine the MF head of MF Global, is a big time D, former senator, and he will not be tried either for the obvious reasons. Do you see a pattern here? If you are a prominent D you can pretty much get filmed decapitating a nun and nothing will happen, if you are an R, beware, because anything you say or do will be taken completely out of context and you will spend a fortune defending your innocence.
    Just a quick look at these situations should scream to all that we need a dramatic change in the conservative direction for our country.
    Preemptive answer to the likely garbage coming from Bobo and the stain: You are wrong, go pound sand, sit in the corner and be quiet. If you actually listen and pay attention you may actually learn something. . . . . . .well it is technically possible anyway.

    The president ate a pile of ribs covered in barbecue sauce, collard greens, red beans with rice and cornbread. After eating a $55.58 meal, Obama and his entourage simply left without paying.

    There will definetly be some, but the military term “range” encompasses much more than places where ordnance lands. Its a term that delineates land set aside for a specific purpose. A good deal of it is set aside for bivouacs, road marches, physical training, orienteering (map and compas) and recreation. All of those are considered ranges.

    Say what you will about Facebook, but it has it’s good points. This morning I discovered that someone had added me to a group called, “Lake Charles Radio Archive.” I ended up taking most of the day off to chat with people I had not even thought about in many years and others that I’d completely forgotten about. The group has been up for 4 days, but already has tons of pics (more to come when I find more of mine) and some pretty entertaining behind the scenes stories from the best days of radio.

    I keep telling them that I haven’t changed a bit since I left the business. But I don’t think they believe me.

    Best of all, I found an old friend with a working 2 track 10.5″ reel to reel so I can finally digitize my massive collection of jingles, spots, bloopers, and spoofs. It’s been a good day.

    And thus we see bob’s all too familiar and expected tactic. Make fun of the liberal *only* in conjunction with making fun of a more conservative type and leave the liberal alone when speaking directly about him in a stand alone setting. This comes after isolating a more conservative politician and making a crack about his dullness and needing to be sprinkled with bacon.

    Darren, I’ve never claimed to be even handed with my satire. And for the record, grilling Bacon Wrapped Romney was Borowitz’s idea, not mine. So please don’t credit me with his work. He’s a pro. I’m just an amateur whose (now dated) satire is down to only a couple dozen reads per week.

    I’m a recovering republican, not a democrat. I simply find it much easier to poke fun at the high profile pubbies than I do the dems. So why don’t you and/or Bonecrusher (or anyone else) fill the gap left by my lack of skill there? Pick a dem, write some original satire, post it somewhere, and I’ll be more than happy to read it. Maybe I might learn something new about humor.

    Darren, I’ve never claimed to be even handed with my satire.

    I wasn’t talking about your satire. I was talking about your regular posts. Your # 24 post may have been satire but what’s the difference? There is none. You have stated that you dislike both sides equally yet clearly you disdain the right while let the leave at peace *uless* there’s a way you can include a swipe at the right. This is your persona and there’s no way to explain it otherwise. Yuo make crude jokes about Sara Palin’s daughter (the fact that you’re still alive is proof positive you had nothing to do with “knocking her up”) while the left’s sexlife are left virtually (can I use a word derived from “virtue” with you?) untouched.

    I find your posts crass and over the line. You’re a hypocrite in the upmost sense. You chide people here to leave people’s sex lives private yet you capitalize on the right by denigrating even they children’s sex lives. You have no respect for people’s choices when it comes to your selfish desires. In fact your own daughter’s sex life was the bunt of your attempt to be funny. Its sick.

    And for the record, grilling Bacon Wrapped Romney was Borowitz’s idea, not mine. So please don’t credit me with his work.

    Bob, who purported it here? You did. Who placed his own moral compass behind that satire here? You did. After linking to the satire you said:

    Reports that Romney will select Bacon for his running mate have not yet been confirmed. Personally, I hope he goes for someone funny, like Bachmann or Santorum.

    That is and should be acredited to you and you alone. In and of itself it is not “bad” or “distasteful” and in fact I agree Romney can use some bacon sprinkling to liven up his personality but my main point, which I do believe I made clear was that you come straight out of the box attacking the right and leave the left alone and when called upon to look at the left, you almost NEVER do so without also including the right. Your claim to dislike both sides equally is a sham and a façade.

    You have no bearing whatsoever in morality or perceiving how others take in your satire or posts in general. You act shocked when feedback towards you is negative. I’ve no idea what you expect to come asa result of your posts. It’s not favorable, at least not here. Your friends at Facebook may love what you do but personally I place zero value in your posts here. They are utterly worthless.

    I’m a recovering republican, not a democrat.

    And I think that’s part of the explanation. There are libertarians, such as John Stossel, who is a recovering democrat and his focus is primarily on how leftist thought is destructive. Stossel, however, has something you don’t. It’s being tactful. His reporting is very insightful whereas your posts are superficial. His reporting is intellectually entertaining while your posts are that of being a juvenile shock jock. His reporting are humorous while yours are crass and just dirty. he’s succesful in his reporting, your place yourself in a wasteland of meaninglessness creating no value for anyone to need.

    You guys are right. To protect you tender sensitivities, Hamous should ban David Letterman!

    Insulting the boss again? Hmmmmm. hopefully your follow up email isn’t an indication that you are taking things playfully. And reporting on David Letterman’s perverted mind is hardly the same as embracing it and copying his prostitutional humor. I think if David letterman posted his “comic” remark here about Sarah Palin’s daughter it would quickly be edited.

    Darren, your input is noted and appropriately weighted. I’d still like to see you do some satire. Really, if politics isn’t good for a laugh it’s pretty much bad theater.

    Technically, pledging up to $100 million isn’t quite the same thing as “limitless,” but functionally it has to approach it, unless we’re talking about Barack Obama’s budget deficits. Forbes interviewed Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and discovered that the conservative activist has not just gotten over his disappointment over Newt Gingrich’s loss in the primaries, he’s ready to pony up for the man who beat his favored candidate:

    Forbes has confirmed that billionaire Sheldon Adelson, along with his wife Miriam, has donated $10 million to the leading Super PAC supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney–and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. A well-placed source in the Adelson camp with direct knowledge of the casino billionaire’s thinking says that further donations will be “limitless.”

    Adelson, who has built Las Vegas Sands into an global casino empire, will do “whatever it takes” to defeat Obama, this source says. And given that Adelson is worth $24.9 billion–and told Forbes in a recent rare interview about his political giving that he had been willing to donate as much as $100 million to his initial presidential preference, Newt Gingrich–that “limitless” description telegraphs potential nine-digit support of Romney.

    Adelson just may get on the Romney campaign’s Christmas card list.

    Ok, I figured out what was removed. I saw it when Bobbity posted it, thought it was tasteless, but that didn’t surprise me at all. I am a bit surprised it was removed.

    Maybe if the good Hamsters ignore the vile scuttling things, they will go away? Then we can have the couch cleaned and get back to it being a pleasant place to hang with the gang.

    What I find most interesting is that the last time I watched any Letterman, I was still married, so it would have to be about 10 years ago. I first became aware of the joke in question when I heard of the reactions to at LST, I think, but it may have been here.

    Harpie’s call for a boycott seems to have dampened the ardor around here, I imagine a book burning’s next.
    Hmmmmm …………………………
    I know! Let’s bash Canadians!

    Chiquita Bananas has been boycotting Canadian Athabasca oil. Canadian nationalist tells Chiquita executive, in Spanish, to show greater affection to his mother. Turns out there are people in Canada who speak Spanish. Who knew?
    Perhaps that explains the tabasco sauce for the poutine.

    The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has decided talk show host Ezra Levant crossed a line and violated a voluntary code of ethics when he aimed a “personal and particularly coarse” insult at the executive of a multinational food company.
    “Defending one’s opinions with vigour and even some aggression is not to be confused with personal insults and coarseness,” the council said in a decision released Wednesday.

    Speaking of boycotts ……………..

    Gener*l M!lls appears to be next and folks get to re-use the “boycott General Motors stationary.”

    The National Organization for Marriage today blasted the General Mills Corporation for effectively declaring a “war on marriage” with its own customers. Speaking at a Gay Pride event today, CEO Ken Powell said General Mills opposes an effort to preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman in Minnesota, where the corporation is headquartered.

    Interesting case on the SCOTUS docket this week. Montana has an anti-corruption law, as do 22 other states, that appeared to have been overturned when the activist Court re-interpreted the Constitution to include business corporations as a new class of citizens entitled to free speech.
    Montana, et al., claim that the law only allows graft in federal elections, but that states are free to conduct their own elections. It’s an interesting angle.

    Whether Montana is bound by the holding of Citizens United, that a ban on corporate independent political expenditures is a violation of the First Amendment, when the ban applies to state, rather than federal, elections.

    Immigrant groups are upset with administrations’s stand on immigration. Folks are being chucked out at the fastest rate in history.
    Odd, one doesn’t hear the topic come up much any more.

    Immigrant advocates and Latino leaders have criticized Obama for increasing the pace of deportations beyond that of the Bush administration. The Obama administration’s tougher enforcement has led to the deportation of a record 1.1 million people in the last three years.

    The panel on MSNBC’s “Now with Alex Wagner” got caught up in a heated argument about gun control Thursday afternoon, which eventually turned into a contentious one-on-one debate between The Blaze and GBTV’s S.E. Cupp and Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

    The discussion began civilly enough about the proposed legislation in New York that would “encode” shell casings on bullets so that law enforcement could track down guns more easily. Pro-gun groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) have strongly opposed the measure.

    Wagner accused the NRA and other second Amendment advocates of fiercely opposing any measure to regulate guns, even when they are reasonable.

    “It seems like a fairly good idea and yet there has been a huge amount of resistance to this,” she said.

    Then Cupp, who the host referred to as a “gun owner” in air quotes, got started. She was able to hold her own against the other panelists who all appeared to be in support of the law.

    “Well this is a really silly piece of legislation and here is why,” Cupp explained. “The idea is you track the bullet or the shell casing back to the gun and then you track the gun back to the owner because, ostensibly, the owner has registered his gun. Most criminals don’t do that.”

    Go Cupp!!!

    Oh give it a rest Harpy.
    If you have a topic to discuss grow a pair and engage.
    You don’t see Romney going all mushy every time someone brings up his record, he just shakes it off and re-etches.

    Having said that, Gypsy says it bed time.

    Well, there’s certainly been “discussion” aplenty this evening. The usual suspects engage in wanton trollisms and ignore others’ valiant attempts at rational discussion. Seems like the usual suspects could benefit by being placed in a locked room to test their trollisms on one another to see who wins with the worst scheme. Except there’s nobody left to unlock the door….
