Turning Worms Tuesday

Great post, Murphy.

“I guess the dimwits who were so desperate for validation they were willing to believe a well-known liar and cheat are the same ones who are now trying to console themselves about the upset election at NOW with fairy tales about legions of stealth anti-abortion PUMA Palin supporters infiltrating the membership in order to destabilize and destroy the National Organization of Women.”

bwaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!
dimwitted, lackwitted, fluckwitted.
Funny, their unsubstantiated accusations make the “stealth anti-abortion PUMA Palin supporters” look mighty insightful and progressive.
idjits

Bravo, Murphy!
Extremely inspirational post; a potent call to arms.
Ride on, PUMA’s!

“Iranian authorities scramble to negate Neda Soltan ‘martyrdom’

The Iranian authorities have ordered the family of a student shot dead in Tehran to take down mourning posters as they struggle to stop her becoming the rallying point for protests against the presidential election.

Neda Salehi Agha Soltan, 26, was killed as she watched a pro-democracy protest, and mobile phone footage of her last moments have become a worldwide symbol of Iran’s turmoil.

The authorities had already banned a public funeral or wake and have prevented gatherings in her name while the state-controlled media has not mentioned Miss Soltan’s death.”

Looks like the tyrants don’t read history. The English tried to portray Joan as a witch and a whore, and eventually got kicked out of France for their pains.

Good luck, boyz. That filly’s been out of the barn and running free for days now.

Boy – oh boy – listening to the press conference – someone asked the fraud about statements made by mccain & graham about iran blah blah blah – old arrogant narcissistic loathesome piece of shit says – well congressional members know what their job is ,,,,,,,but I’m President of the United States and I know what to do…………………WTF – I’ve never seen anyone and that includes celebs who have egos that don’t quit be so GD arrogant – can we impeach this sob now???????????????????

Puma-SF 06.23.09 at 1:18 pm

Thanks for the link to the article, Puma-SF. Another example of the shell game that the fraud and his pets in Congress continue to play. “Watch the pea. No, it’s not under there; it’s over here.” That’s the way they keep bamboozling the public, by diverting attention to what they’re really doing. Both pieces of legislation need to be defeated. Also, seems to me the Dems are running scared because of the fraud’s falling approval rating. They want to rush through as many crap bills as possible before the sh– really hits the fan and they won’t be able to.

Sarah Palin vs. Hitler’s’ children

John Ziegler had said that he knew David Letterman would not lose his job, and he is probably right on that count. But this protest, getting significant media coverage, was the beginning of a true revolt against what has become the media’s acceptable bashing of women, using a Republican icon and her girls as their target. Even the Huffington Post had recently published an article called “Letterman Quietly Ushers in the Next Wave of Feminism.”

And PUMA-PAC, the die hard Hillary supporters with a low opinion of “party unity” are still very much alive and now taking a strong stance against not only David Letterman but also attacking Bill Maher’s defense of Letterman, urging canceling of HBO service, Maher’s employer.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. It Will Be Blogged and Twittered.

RICH, isn’t it??

summary:

Americans get sucky healthcare unless they are a union or a congress member.

If they go with taxing “value,” what happens in parts of the country (like the northeast-MA, CT, NY..) where the “value” is higher?
How could that method be applied fairly?

And where is that 5K refundable tax credit offset that alt least Mccain was going to give every American?

One thing that won’t change under the new plan are the HUGE profits the insurance companies will make.
This “reform bill” was approved by them.

How is ACORN Cashing in on Foreclosure Mitigation?

Last May, ACORN Housing was awarded a $7.8 Million National Grant for Foreclosure Prevention Counseling to support ACORN Housing’s foreclosure counseling intervention efforts.

The funds from the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program were approved by Congress in the FY08 Consolidated Appropriations Bill. The National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program is administered through a competitive application process by NeighborWorks® America, within guidelines defined by Congressional legislation.

In addition to that grant, they were apparently awarded another $100,000 to offer these services to homeowners in foreclosure in the St. Louis, Missouri area by tyhe City of St. Louis under the leadership of Slay.

Puma-SF 06.23.09 at 1:57 pm

HAHA, I sent Donna B an email telling her that she had a lot of nerve talking about voter’s rights when she did everything in her power to surpress our rights last year. I also told her that Obama’s election was fraudulent. Here’s what she said:

**You are dead wrong. Your facts are misleading, your analysis inaccurate, your tone insulting and your language provocative. And I am sure you must understand that this level of hatred is destructive and foolish.

Again, may God continue to bless you and your family. And our great country!

P.S. Never wish anyone something bad. It’s wrong and worse, it only comes back to you. It cannot harm me. Just you. Don’t send hate**

Well ain’t she sweet?

Dogma Brazillnut is up to her old ways with her forked tongue.

I’m tempted to pull her email out of the trash and prowl her a thing or two, but it just gives her a place to vent again.

She went into hiding for awhile, maybe a little meetup with Rove? Didn’t seem to change her disposition.

Maybe I will just let her know that Hillary supports have long memories and she shouldn’t bother wasting her time asking for our help.
Gurrrrrrrrr…….

PUMA SF #35, there aren’t enough hateful words in the English language, or any other language, for that a$$wipe.

Hah – do you think the ‘tingly’ press are finally starting to realize what happens when you select a junior senator from a corrupt political state who never held a real job in his life & decide he’s gonna be a great pretentident (borrowed from Cinie – tnx) that things are gonna be great – what a fuckin’ joke – his inexperience is finally starting to get through – Can We say yet – WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – freakin’ gd idiots – and BTW – weep all you want for socalled serious journalists and reporters – if there are any – where the hell are they? they got a voice – a platform – use it………………

Murphy-Fantastic post!

Scarlet-Thanks for posting the link to American Thinker! I was thrilled to see they referred their readers to Pumapac!

I watched parts of BO news conference today and must report it was horrifying. All the pandering and false promises for health care plus the CRAZY insistence to have the Iranian regime at a Fourth of July celebration at OUR White House…Couldn’t be worse!

Here’s an opportunity to speak out about the fraud’s press conference today. Greta has the following thread up: “Get involved! Post.”

http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/

P.S. You know the e-mail onslaught from moveon and the Dems is going to be on hyperdrive to support the fraud’s ridiculous remarks today: e.g. healthcare plan that will benefit nobody but the drug companies and the unions and Congress, inviting Islam to U.S. embassies for July 4th (does that sound as oxymoronic to anyone else as it does to me???), and the BS about his being 95% cured of smoking. So, what say you PUMAs?

Hi PUMAs — Just wanted to let you know that I also faxed my letter re the Walpin firing to the Acting Chairman of the EEOC as well as to the Director of the Center for Civil Rights. I received a call from someone named Michelle in the Executive Office of the Secretariat (in the office of the manager of correspondence for the EEOC Chair) asking for a mailing address. She also wanted to know my gender. When I asked why, she said it was in order to properly address the reply. She said I should be receiving a response within 30 days. She said this was “the first piece of correspondence” she had seen on this issue. She said she is aware of the Walpin matter because of the news. I thanked her for taking the time to call, and reiterated the seriousness of my concern re the future of equality of rights in America, particulary in terms of older Americans.

Here are fax numbers for the Acting Chairman of the EEOC and the Director of the Center for Civil Rights:

Stuart J. Ishimaru, Esq.
Acting Chairman, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Fax 202-419-0740

Ramon Suris Fernandez, Esq.
Director, Center for Civil Rights
Fax c/o 202-693-6505 (I believe this is the Dept. of Labor)

I’m just a little gay….

P.S. The woman who called me actually saw/read my fax. She had to have called the mail services outlet I used for faxing the letter to get my phone number, which was required on the fax cover sheet that also gave the outlet’s phone number. I also faxed the letter to members of Congress who would be appropriately interested in the Walpin firing (e.g., Senators on the Special Committee on Aging, and members of Congress concerned about the apparent violation of the IG Reform Act of 2008 and its predecessor law.), as well as a few others. I can post those fax numbers if anyone’s interested. Please share this and my previous post with those interested in this matter. Thanks.

Cop taped beating Chicago bartender gets probation

CHICAGO (AP) — An off-duty Chicago police officer convicted of pummeling a female bartender half his size was sentenced Tuesday to two years probation and anger management classes for the videotaped attack that appeared worldwide on the Internet and cable news channels.

Cook County Circuit Judge John Fleming also gave Anthony Abbate a home curfew of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and ordered him to perform 130 hours of community service.

“If I believed sentencing Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting people, I’d give him the maximum sentence,” Fleming said.

Earlier this month, the judge rejected Abbate’s claim he acted in self-defense and convicted him of aggravated battery. A tavern security video shows a drunken, 250-pound Abbate punching and kicking the 125-pound Karolina Obrycka as she tended bar in February 2007. The altercation happened after she refused to serve him more drinks.

“He’s not a bad man, he did something bad,” said defense attorney Peter Hickey.

So easy to beat a woman. He got probation and community service. I don’t want him in my community.

CJK 06.23.09 at 4:35 pm
Dances, you have e-mail at the action center. Thanks.

Received it. Thanks. Will handle it when I’m home later today.

I am still wondering why we have huge bases in Germany – war has been over as long as I’ve been alive – I’m 64 – why we still have massive bases in Japan – hell, they’re a small country & they took on China and beat them – we just bombed the hell out of them or else they would still be fighting – South Korea ? maybe – the north is nuts but still…………. we finally got out of the Philipines but shit we still have bases in Italy, France, England – not sure about where else so why not in Irag – did anybody really believe opinocchio was telling the truth??????????????

Also – I could care less what Sarah Palin’s beliefs are – she’s a woman and one damm smart one at that – she’s more of a feminist than some of the so-called femmies are – not rejoing NOW until I see some big changes & ACORN is one issue I want explained – COIN – WTF???

P.P.S. The woman who called me from the EEOC in response to my faxed letter re the Walpin firing also asked whether I had contacted the WH and the Dept. of Justice. I told her it was my understanding that others had, and that I had deliberately limited my distribution to those I thought would be appropriately concerned about the age-based discrimination issue and those concerned about the IG Reform Act issue. Thanks.

Exactly DWP and why?

SO – I am on this meetup group and someone asks who is going protesting this wednesday with the Tea Party Protesters — I say – I am not. The Tea Party group made some comments about the “homosexual agenda” and when I questioned them I got a barrage of negative e-mails — so I don’t feel compelled to hang out with a group of “haters” —

All day long I have been blasted by this woman telling me I need to be more American and come together with everyone.

WTF? I don’t want to protest with them anymore. Is that so wrong? WTF? I would rather hang out with people I like. Sounds like what the Obots do. You must do this – you must to that. I don’t give a rats ass if someone else wants to protest with them.

Why is it people can’t do what they want without people coming along and telling them what they must do? I am so fucking sick of it.

Thanks again – I’ll be a faxing fool this evening!!!

Thank you, Nikki. I hope other PUMAs will be faxing, too. Gotta go do some errands. BBL to check in. Later wonderful PUMAs!

DWP – #79 — how the hell do I know. I told her American means to me someone who doesn’t discriminate against homosexuals, color, etc.

She’s pissed because I won’t protest or “agree” with her. Whatfuckingever -

gotta run to the grocery — does anyone need anything ??

Sorry, #85 was in response to simo.

persephone #55

I couldn’t agree more.
Sarah Palins 90% approval rating exists because she has served her constituants amazingly well. She is far more of a progressive leader than most in my own party. Giving up a private jet, negotiating profit sharing with big oil, contracting what will be America largest engineering endeavor-natural gas pipe line to the lower states. I could go on and on. She is a completely self made feminist who doesn’t put up and shut up for anyone. All 18 bogus ethics charges against her have been dismised, but no news of that in the MSM.
This woman is the greatest threat to Obama, and it would be poetic justice to see her take the presidency away from him in 2012, or sooner!

Don’t like the pro-life/ pro-choice fight between women.

Me neither shadowfax. I think it has been an excellant ploy to keep women divided. Some of the most progressive pro-choice state legislation has passed, ironically enough in California while Regan was governor and in Texas while Bush was governor.
And Sarah Palin has appointed a pro-choice judge to Alaskas supreme court.
So many women I know who didn’t originally drink the Kool-Aide, ultimately let themselves be manipulated with the abortion issue and the anti-Palin propaganda. To bad they couldn’t see that Palin and McCains position on abortion was in no way different than the position of Jimmy Carter.

I don’t know. I never thought Obama could move this far this fast. He’s made everything worse.

It does seem that people are slowly waking up. Hopefully, he’ll lose cap and trade and Obamacare. And maybe the 2010 elections will neuter his ass.

Hi webfoot. The woman who called me from the correspondence office of the Acting Chairman of EEOC was responding to my fax. I posted the list of fax numbers I used, and am re-posting below, just in case anyone missed them earlier. I also asked Dances to post them in the Action Center, too. I’ve been out on errands and haven’t yet checked the Action Center. I just don’t have full confidence in e-mails. I know they typically generate almost instantaneous responses, but one never knows whether they’re routed to someone who can actually do anything or whether they just wind up in someone’s deleted e-mails.
But, I think sheer volume of e-mails is an important statement, too.

So is sheer volume of faxes! So, here are:

And thank you for posting the additional information on Khilafah. As I understand it they are also banned in some middle east countries.
As a member of Act for America I receive this kind of information regularly. I cannot believe that America has become so wreaklessly naive about the threat of Islamitization of American citizens.
The N.Y. times burying of the story on a home grown terrorist’s murder of an Army recruitment officer was shameful. N.Y. times also avoided using the terrorist’s choosen Islamic name, referring to him instead by his given American name.
We really need to wake up as Americans. Islam is a threat and is spreading like a cancer througout the world.
There is no other person we could have elected president who would have been more hospitable to the Islamitization of America than Barak Obama.
Is it any surprise that this Khilafah conference is being held just outside of Chicago?

——
I agree. Here’s what I wrote earlier today, but was reluctant to post it. Your comments gave me the courage. I hope I’ve expressed my thoughts clearly. Or, maybe I need to go back and rethink.

A thought: Can one not be “pro-choice” and “pro-life” at the same time??? Before I get verbally walloped and accused of being one of those ’stealth anti-abortion PUMA Palin supporters’ or a flatout rightwing wackadoodle, let me explain. Please set aside your assumptions about those labels for a moment, if you can. I’m sure the Dems did studies that showed the abortion issue to be the absolutely pivotal ‘wedge’ women’s issue (if not, why else would Ofraudo and cohorts have used it like a tire iron during the campaign to get the dimwits to vote for him??? We know he didn’t give a rat’s patootie about any other women’s issues!!!) Anyway, I raise my question because of what I recall to be HRC’s position on the matter, which to me is inherently “pro-life” at the same time it is “pro-choice.” I believe HRC’s position (paraphrased in my clumsy way) is that we should be doing everything possible to ensure that women retain the option to terminate an unwanted pregnancy if/when necessary, while we should also be doing everything possible to minimize the need for women to have to make that choice. Thus, HRC’s position is actually “pro-choice” and “pro-life” in the best sense of those words (minus all the nasty stereotypes that have grown up around them). When you get right down to it, is anyone really ever not “pro-life,” meaning is anyone really ever “pro-abortion” in the sense of actually favoring or promoting the act of abortion? Speaking from a personal perspective, I doubt that most women who ever faced an unwanted pregnancy and chose to terminate it were, in fact, complacent about it. It is a deeply traumatic decision that no responsible woman would want to face. I agree with HRC’s position: Continuing to do whatever is necessary to ensure every woman’s right to privacy and free choice in matters of her reproductive health/life, but at the same time also continuing to do whatever is necessary to ensure availability/affordability of a range of pregnancy prevention counseling, education, literature, devices/prescriptions (for sexually active women AND their sexual partners!) in order to minimize the need for abortion. I would venture a guess that there are lots of people who agree with HRC’s position. We just keep getting hung up and unnecessarily enraged by the stereotypes that go along with those labels. Maybe we should just get rid of the labels???Okay, let the walloping begin…..

Night webfoot. Now I can rest easy

o/t question..are we still doing pig of the day? This Cook County Circut Judge John Flemming certainly qualifies. He let off the cop who brutally beat a woman bartender off with 2 years probation. On the news it said that the NOW are planning a protest against the judge. I went to the website but did not see anything. This is a quote from the judge and a link to the article:
Cook County Circuit Judge John Fleming sentenced Anthony Abbate in a downtown courtroom Tuesday, imposing a home curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and ordering Abbate to perform 130 hours of community service.
Quoting a line from one of his favorite movies, “Animal House,” Fleming admonished the defendant.
“Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son,” he said.

CJK #130

I understand your position very well. I have always considered myself to be pro-choose life. Meaning that life is a beutiful choice when it is just that, a choice and not a mandate.
Most of our presidents have been able to separate their moral convictions from the legality issue on abortion.
I aslo believe that banning abortion could be equally harmful to children as to women who wish to have an abortion. One example would be a woman who is not capable or not willing to raise a child with, Downs Syndrom. I give great respect to Sarah Palin for giving her child a chance at life, and she is fortunate to have a strong family support system. But if a women feels incapable of raising a child with Downs Syndrom perhaps aborting the child might be better than the alternative-a life for that child in a state facility. I don’t hate people who are pro-life, especially those who also oppose the death penalty. Life is good. Choice is good.
And neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin have allowed the issue to affect their appointment or acceptance of a choice for state or US supreme court.
I did find Obama’s defeat of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act to be beyond extreme. I mean after a child is born and issued a birth certificate as required by law, there is no longer a choice. That child has rights, and everybody in the U.S. senate understood that. Then State Senator Obama, did not understand that.
He doesn’t understand alot of things.

I haven’t had ANY time to keep up lately (working very long hours) and , frankly , when I do get home , I have to tell you that I am beginging to have some concerns and questions as to the soundness of Murphy’s judgement . Most days I end up just shaking my head in bewilderment …
For instance ; this morning , I gave her a bath and she went straight to the pond and jumped in and then ran through the mud ! She was all excited about her little adventure and all I could do was shake my head …
Of course I am talking about the 4 legged Murphy .(had ya goin though )

There is a Very Great Deal of Cr@p in the news today. Murphy has a short list. Lady Boomer NYC has a longer list. And if you ask me, it is a Very Good Thing. I felt inspired (as usual) when I read Cinie’s post:

… In other words, people who’ve been paying attention, regardless of party affiliation or anything else, are fully aware of the gamesmanship of the Pretendident’s Obacolytes, and, either fully embrace and support them as necessary and novel, or, reject them as…well, what they are. Cheating. …

All this lying, cheating and stealing. Being perpetrated by the latest in a “succesion of frauds“. Everyone’s up in arms about the election in Iran? Good! Perhaps it will remind them of the DNC’s selection of That One. Or the Supreme Court’s selection of That Other One just eight years back. Republicans are righteously angry about the firing of Inspector General Gerald Walpin? Good! Then maybe they’ll be reminded of Bush’s

My comments to Donna Brazil’s e-mail:

When I think of voters rights, I do not associate the Democratic party with this term anymore. I am not surprised,(more embarassed)that you had the gall to send out this e-mail. After the sham that was suppose to be the Democratic Convention in Denver, I, like others, realized my party did not want or respect my vote on the issues at hand. Never, have I witness a more biased, fixed and downright exclusion of the party members, as I did last year. That’s why I am now an Independent after being a life-long Democrat. I’m sure I will be labeled a racist, or a angry woman. I am not a racist, angry woman….yes!

As a matter-of-fact Donna, there are many angry woman,(including your black sisters) and men out there that feel both political parties are a sham and both treat women like second rate citizens.

Be thankful Donna, that there are those of us that will fight until we see the 51% of Americans that are women, truely represented by our government. We will work to see that a woman canidate from any party can focus on the issues at hand and not have to justify her hairstyle, her pantsuit, her make-up, her family, her lifestyle or any other media deemed “news.” We will fight until women are treated exactly like men. No real scrutiny, no real hard questions, and definitely no real vetting! Yes, Donna, hold your breath, because women will gain the highest office one day if your voter’s rights are truly protected by the law. Women will be able to go to a polling place without fear of harassment, or concern that their vote is being tampered with. Women will be in charge one of these days, and Donna, there will be a reckoning for those women that stood by and let this bullshit happen.

vwade — you are so polite — I blasted the old bag — I get a secret pleasure from being a super smart ass when it comes to Donna.

VTcat —- unbelievable that they finally let the cat out of the bag – during his night time press conferences I always figured he had the questions before hand.

“CJK, yes loved RD’s post and this Dana Milbank from Washington Post. My God, could it be we may get out “freedom of speech back” in the media?”

As I read the Milbank article (thanks for posting the link),I couldn’t help but recall how often Reagan was the butt of jokes from the media and the so-called Dem/liberal left intellectuals about his role in the film “Bedtime for Bonzo.” I was a Dem for 40 years, so I’m not speaking as some rightwing whackadoodle. (I distinctly recall standing in front of the TV being totally depressed when Mondale/Ferraro lost to Ronnie, because I wanted so much to see a strong woman at the top echelon of our government. No, I didn’t actually think Mondale was so wonderful, but I loved Geraldine Ferraro.) While I’m sure that BO’s PR machine believes his constant TV presence is generating some kind of “star quality” to dazzle the public and delight/amuse the press, it seems to me that it runs the risk of casting him in the light of just another Rev. Wright. If you don’t pay any attention to what he actually says, he may be a hoot to watch, but do you really think he can lead the world’s most powerful nation, especially at a time like this? Also, I would like to believe the MSM is becoming disillusioned with BO and may be waking up to the First Amendment, but BO’s constant presence on TV these days reminds me of the 24/7 presence of dictators du jour on state-controlled TV in countries such as China, N. Korea, Iran, etc.

Cinie has another wonderful post over at her site and she gets the Golden PUMAaward for the best run-on sentence of all time with this one…

… I mean, really, if the Obaporn fluff staff of the GE donor-owned pseudo news source ever fully turned on the object of their affection, a squadron of rocket-propelled, pamphlet-dropping, DayGlo painted Goodyear blimps with flashing strobe lights, amped-up calliope music and bungee cord-connected, dangling dancing girls booty bumping parachuting Elvis impersonators clad in Christmas tree light festooned black velveteen sequined jumpsuits and Ronald McDonald clown masks, all leaping and cavorting mid-air while special jets pumped out multi-colored cotton candy-like skywriting messages proclaiming, “So what if he’s black? Obama sucks!” would be required, at a bare minimum.
