Sarah Palin is Waaay SCARIER and DANGEROUSER than Jared Loughner

I am repeating my post from downstairs. I think it’s important that we know what kind of person he is.

You just have to see this:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/01/10/2011-01-10_chilling_shrine_in_madmans_yard.html
Jared’s yard where he kept this shrine.
My question is – where the hell were his parents? He is said to have been living at home, right?
This is a sicko!

.

Dances –
You are so quick!
A Day of the Dead celebration? I never even thought of it. Nor did it occur to me that the Christians would use this so called shrine to start warning about the devil, though I wouldn’t put it passed them.
I merely thought it important to see how disturbed this man is.
And he is!

Great to have you back Murphy with another right on topic (oops, was going to say right on target) post. It’s good to focus on the underlying irrationality, not immediately obvious with the overheated rhetoric from our media.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords holding her own:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/10/national/main7230133.shtml?tag=topnews

Hello, it’s been a long time, but I’d like to join this conversation. While I agree with Violet Socks in many ways, I think it is more than “cultural” influence at work in Patriarchy. The survival of any species depends on breeding, which clearly depends on women. Earliest prototype men had to have a breeding woman. Probably the idea of hiding, or controlling women developed as a way of protecting their own “family” group from raids by other “families.” I’m suggesting that the need is still latent and unrecognized and that equality won’t happen until we address that aspect of the problem too. How to do this is another issue in itself.

the guy was a psycho – both political sides have them:

http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2011/01/jared_loughner_alleged_shooter.php

A classmate of the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords this morning describes him as “left wing” and a “pot head” in a series of posts on Twitter this afternoon.

Caitie Parker did not immediately respond to our request for an interview, but her “tweets” in the hours after the shooting paint a picture of Jared Loughner as a substance-abusing loner who had met Giffords before the shooting. She says, Loughner described the congresswoman as “stupid and unintelligent.”

In Defense of Inflamed Rhetoric
The awesome stupidity of the calls to tamp down political speech in the wake of the Giffords shooting.
http://www.slate.com/id/2280616/pagenum/all/

Any call to cool “inflammatory” speech is a call to police all speech, and I can’t think of anybody in government, politics, business, or the press that I would trust with that power. As Jonathan Rauch wrote brilliantly in Harper’s in 1995, “The vocabulary of hate is potentially as rich as your dictionary, and all you do by banning language used by cretins is to let them decide what the rest of us may say.” Rauch added, “Trap the racists and anti-Semites, and you lay a trap for me too. Hunt for them with eradication in your mind, and you have brought dissent itself within your sights.”

Our spirited political discourse, complete with name-calling, vilification—and, yes, violent imagery—is a good thing. Better that angry people unload their fury in public than let it fester and turn septic in private. The wicked direction the American debate often takes is not a sign of danger but of freedom. And I’ll punch out the lights of anybody who tries to take it away from me.

Thank you, Murphy. I am a Hillary Supporter, a 300 member, a life-time democrat and a PUMA since the Denver Convention. But I can’t stay quiet and watch what is happening to Sarah Palin. Women, especially American Women, from any party, from any religion, from any corner, MUST SPEAK OUT against this kind of hate. This sickens me.
S. L. TEXAS 30/300 PUMA!

catsden, I agree that is part of it. Patriarchy is all about control and necrophilia – only women who are breeding for the controller, serving the controller, and smilingly saying yes to every whim of the controller are safe in the patriarchy.

Happy Monday, PUMAs. So glad we are still talking about this. Love reading what all of you say.

Murphy, what does being an atheist have to do with being a murderer?
—————
Can’t answer for Murphy but her comment seemed to me to relate to the comments regarding Loughner’s “altar”, or “shrine”, or leftover Halloween decorations, which suggests to some that he had some religious belief, but, as Murphy stated, Loughner stated “none” on his military app where they ask for religious affiliation.

Delle,
The video was neither frightening nor sexy.

DancesWithPumas: good answer. I would have just assumed his so-called shrine was a nut-job’s worship of death and destruction.

and the operator said .40c more for the next 3 minutes .

What does that mean?

I guess I was asking what that means in terms of teh conversation / topic.

Shadowfax: maybe it only started for women when they decided to step outside the bounds of their respective social groups. My sister joined a Baptist Church in the 1970′s and was forbidden to wear lipstick, dance, or dress “out of line.” She invited me to join a group going somewhere one time and I can tell you it was a hot zone of testosterone and supression. Now how did our conversation help us get on to solving the problem?

Women don’t accept abuse or oppression if they believe in themselves. Looking at oppression as a snapshot of history doesn’t break women out of their chains, only action changes the situation.

Women standing together are powerful, not singled out as victims.

Nikkis mom, thanks for post #17.

Also, kos put targets on Giffords and published posts that said she was “dead to me.” I have no links, but have seen them.

PLEASE amend my “Gibbon” to “Giffords” in my post 34. I must have been channeling men as neanderthals one half step up from gibbons when I wrote that!!

Here’s Loughner. This is the face of someone I would not want to run into in a dark alley… or an elevator…

http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/10/arizona.shooting/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

I, for one, will SCREAM if I hear one more so-called reporter or anchor (Stephanopoulous, et al) refer to Giffords as CongressMAN. Jeez. How hard is it to add that fourth syllable for Congresswoman? Yeah, we’ve come a long way, baby.

Parker/Spitzer just spent an hour on the so-called rhetoric and ‘toxic atmosphere’ causing the shootings. They had that political Arizona sheriff on for a huge hunk of the show and he is still blaming all this on the right wing. I’ve been screaming about him churning this up since his first news conference. I kept turning the channel back and forth so I wouldn’t have to watch it hoping they would change the subject. Of course, Rush Limbaugh did his show on it today too and they acted as if that gave them carte blanche to keep the nonsense up. The left wing is not going to let up and the right will respond. Disgusting.

Shadowfax
It seemed that he was getting some blowback yesterday when he said that he said those things because he was mad about the shootings. So I thought he would back off, but the dems have propped him back up and given him forums to appear on, and he’s right back to the nonsense again.

He looks to me like he’s not even there… as if he’s in some tiny cavern of his deranged mind… dissociated, in a creepy weird scary way. Those eyes… yeeesh

Thanks, murphy, for this link. Violet so nails this…and it was so infuriating to read.

Here is something somewhat OT but relevant. I drive thru the Blue Hills on my way to work…they are so gorgeous. I’ve seen a couple of guys in a spot where you can park and hike along a trail by a creek. So today at a meeting I mentioned I may try to time it so I have the time for a brisk walk on the gorgeous path before work. A woman co-worker said she would not recommend that and I immediately got chills and said, no, I would never do that. I knew right away what she meant. Women could be attacked. And indeed she told me a story of how she was chased over one of those damned hills.

So here’s another thing. Women in MA can’t get a stun gun or laser for protection. Apparently we can get a gun…but shouldn’t we be able to get a strong nonlethal weapon given the reality we have to live with??

Hubby has the television on in the next room, watching the news and local weather as he gets ready to leave for work. Just as I was reading your message, I heard a man’s voice from the TV say he was going to give an update on the congressMAN.

Amazing!

Response to Original message
32. That’s probably because all the evidence of his Youtube, Myspace, and Facebook… plus the accounts of his professors, of people who attended school with him, etc, all point to his being clinically psychotic. He met Giffords, and she couldn’t answer his entirely mad question “what is government, if words have no meaning?”, and she sent him a letter with his surname misspelled. He is, at least to judge by the available evidence, a delusional paranoid obsessive. He is quite probably suffering from untreated schizophrenia. Such individuals are more driven by whatever is going on inside their own heads than they are influenced by outside factors.

37. But recognizing that he is mentally ill, and needs to be treated as such,
Takes away what many here see as a golden opportunity to score points on the rabid right wing, and heaven forbid we deny people that opportunity.

good morning ((((puma’s)))))))

NOTHING and I mean NOTHING upsets me more than this
political rhetoric from Both sides of our disgraceful
government.

THis man was REJECTED from MILITARY SERVICE and let me tell you,
that’s not real easy to accomplish—-I believe that’s what probably put him over the edge.

His FAMILY, FRIENDS, SCHOOL, MILITARY etc…..completely IGNORED this man and the help he needed as far as WHO he was, NOW they give a FUCK———-these people, media, government are the most shameful I could remember in my 50+ years of life, and from REGAN to BUSH—-that is really really something SMELLY !!

michelina, apparently he failed the drug test, but this was a few years ago. It wasn’t a recent trigger. Also, I think he only applied to the military after he was kicked out of school for being unbalanced and a disturbance. So many ignored signs. But from the WSJ link, he was obsessed with the congressWOMAN prior to those turns of event, because she dealt with his smart-ass question in a mild but decisive way that left him humiliated and “beaten” —and we know guys don’t like that trait in a woman.

“We have decided that crazy people no longer get their messages from outer space but from Sarah Palin only, via dog whistles!” You’re on fire today, NYS.

HP, you made my morning. LMAO! Nuclear weapon in her back pocket.

I think his mug shot shows that he has gone over the top for sure. Not insane in my opinion (and I am no mentalhealth expert) because he was taking care of himself, thinking clearly enough to premeditate this and follow it up.

Yup lots of ticking time bombs (99% men) walking around, voices in their heads the big and the small.
Ah yes but they all grew up in Sarah’s house, the wicked witch of the north. She alone has spawned the crazy men.
She does keep that hunk a’ hunk of burning love she married real close.

DancesWithPumas 01.11.11 at 12:00 pm
Now DWP, I didn’t say ‘mentally ill’, I said ‘insane’ as in a legal defense of. I also qualified my opinion with I am not a mental health expert. No one would claim he is not mentally ill.

There are still good men who are truly heroes among men:

When Jared Loughner began firing on the crowd gathered around Rep. Gabrielle Gifford at the Safeway supermarket in Tucson on Saturday, Mavanell thought the sounds came from firecrackers. Dorwan knew otherwise and quickly pulled his wife to the ground and threw himself over her. Mavy — as she is known to her friends — was hit three times in the legs, and is now in stable condition and expected to survive. Dorwan was shot, fatally, through the head, at the age of 76. Dorwan was memorialized at the Mountain Avenue Church of Christ — a small Tucson-area church where he and Mavy had worshipped and served — on Sunday.

OT but Headclunker, wontbackdown, lovers of our ocean and marine life, here is a presentation by Bob Graham and Bill Reilly re the Gulf of Mexico oil spill task force.

Unfortunately I suppose there is a recommendation to spend more money by having an independent agency within the Department of Interior – I think it is a great idea but where do we get the money – to be responsible for safety because of the internal conflict with MMS (a failed agency – that’s where we get the money – defund that joke), which both collects money and enforces regs. What it does a good job of, this MMS, is collect money. To the detriment of safety. Did you know MMS collects more money for the treasury than any other agency besides IRS? The new safety agency should have a leader with a background in science and management to serve a fixed term to avoid the politics inherent in the executive branch and this industry. I nominate Headclunker!!

“Die Bitch” is what Loughtner wrote on a note on the file he had on Congresswoman Giffords. When will the media start referring to this as a hate crime???

thanks BCL!

agreed, DWP, it is a hate crime. I have been meaning to research where the law is on hate crime and gender. Last time I checked work needed to be done. After I get this brief done (yes avoidance strategy in full force), maybe this weekend, I can do a little searching of westlaw and come back with a report.

Roar on PUMAs!

agreed, DWP, it is a hate crime.
—————-
I think someone else mentioned the hate crime aspect

Being guilty by reason of insanity in light of this massacre just means he’ll be locked in an institution for the criminally insane vs a prison for the rest of his life.
Same difference.

Dances,

#92 – Just as long as he is locked up. He has demonstrated that he is a danger to society.

LOL…. And the bacon!!

Sorry, but I grew up with the Nelsons, kindasorta, they lived in the tv in our livingroom.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — David Nelson, who starred on his parents’ popular television show “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” has died, a family spokesman said. He was 74.

DWP, sad news. I loved Ricky.

honora, I lost it over that story…I posted it to FB with a severe BITCH-slapping to all the peckerheads, as HP puts it, and SHRIVELDICKS as I term them.

Dances, you are so right and exactly what I told them. I told them they are channeling their inner Jared to maintain their false narrative about Palin.

Devastating detail about the woman who lost her little neighbor girl. I do hope Christina visits her in spirit and she finds peace in the wake of this horror.

DWP I grew up with the Nelson’s too. I guess David was the last one left from the family.
Sad news. May he RIP.

Uh-oh – there goes the media narrative for the attacks on Sarah. Think they’re calling the DNC yet to get their new talking points?

Loughner’s friends say he disliked watching tv.

Osler says his friend wasn’t shooting at people, “he was shooting at the world.” Regarding the high-pitched talk radio and cable news political rhetoric, Osler says his friend didn’t even watch the news.

He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/jared-loughners-friend-says-suspect-did-not-watch-tv-disliked-the-news_b48040

I am still so upset about Gifford that I am having trouble sleeping. It is just that I feel a commonality with her and so wished that more women like her would be involved in governance.

I went over to the Huffy Post on this blog:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Lu4PUMA/sarah-palin-rebecca-mansour-crosshairs-arizona_n_806375_73737029.html

I was called a: Racist, Mentally Ill, Conservative, Troll, Lame, Lemming for just about anything posted that was contrary to their dogma. It is like they have turned into a bunch of freaks. I guess they are getting to the bottom of the BObot barrel.

So, what I really want to know is WHERE IS HILLARY? and WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE OUR DRAFT HILLARY PROWL????!?!?

Can someone update the PUMA contact lists?

agreed headclunker! Hillary 2012!!

Dances, thank you for the info.

Do you think obama was just lying when he told the audience that Gabby had opened her eyes for the first time? Did he really not know she had opened her eyes on Sunday?

I guess it is like him to believe she opened her eyes just as he entered the room. After all, he believes himself to be the Messiah!

If this is another one of his publicity stunts – it is sick!

gojoyknocks, I heard it reported that the Zero received a groupie welcome, but mercifully the clip they played was not of that.

I’m grateful to the blizzard that I missed all the live coverage of this, and apparently of Palin’s response.

damn you delle..!! (or is it ::twisted:: ? I forget!) I followed your link and looked up all the hullabaloo over Palin’s use of “blood libel.” I don’t have time to follow all this Palin-derangement-syndrome, but I can’t stop. It’s so jaw-dropping.

Here’s a link for anyone wanting to shake their heads over how Palin is Evil Incarnate. One of my favorite comments was how if McCain had won Palin would not be a heartbeat away from the presidency because by now she’d either be President with a pending murder charge, or Pelosi would be President after Palin was convicted.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/palins_use_of_blood_libel_mirrors_that_in_right-wing_media.php

omg, also in the comment thread from the above link was one guy opining how Olbermann never really targeted anyone in his show. No, that’s why he just apologized for calling for Hillary’s murder.

Here’s another link I followed after one of the commenters claimed that talking points memo had “proved” that the Daily Kos “targeting” of Congresswoman Giffords was a “photoshopped fake.”

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/145640.php

I could NOT believe they were pretending that the images used were meant to be understood as part of the original page. The images were obviously meant to underscore the words in the original, because more than one Dem was listed as needing to be “targeted.”

I feel like Alice through the Looking Glass.

Oh, and they were defending the DLC bullseye map by saying it was ok because it targeted states, not “people” and that the rhetoric was all about family values. ?!

Hello? Palin’s map targeted DISTRICTS, not people, and the DLC map was captioned “behind enemy lines!”

But hey. Palin is “giggling” about her Mama Bear with a gun “image” and that, according to the Palin-deranged, makes her the SINGLE MOST DANGEROUSEST pol out there!!!!!

snip: “There’s no way to sugar-coat it. Sure she thought she could get away with it — getting away with it is also a big part of her image. And that’s the single most dangerous political stance there is.”

It isn’t the violent rhetoric, nor the guns, nor her ability to hunt and shoot, nor garner the attention of media, pols, and the public at large… what makes Sarah Palin, and all women who have a platform to spread their messages, the dangerousest is she, we, have lady parts.

No surprises here – heard on the news last night that the shooter thought all college girls enjoy being raped:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/12/national/main7239564.shtml
The Journal notes the overriding misogyny of many of the posts, including the one titled, “Why Rape?,” which argues that college girls enjoy being raped: “There are Rape victims that are under the influence of a substance. The drinking is leading them to rape. The loneliness will bring you to depression. Being alone for a very long time will inevitably lead you to rape.”

Kudos to Somerby….he’s ripping the PDS left a new one:

Many people would never consider listening to Collins, because of the endless, simpering ways she has chosen to mock Bristol Palin…In the last six months Collins referred to Bristol Palin in at least seven different columns, wasting her major national platform on repetitive, simpering nonsense…the country is full of people who wouldn’t listen to a word she says because of those inane, mocking columns… Collins provides simpering entertainment for us upper-class rubes. On Monday, she finally dropped her pose and tried to suggest some serious ideas. But why would anyone listen to someone like her?

http://www.dailyhowler.com/

I’m about ready to rip somebody a new one. Just saw this lovely post and comments on my fb page (from a Hillary national delegate, btw):

Status update: Kay Bailey Hutchison not seeking re-election next time! This could be good in that maybe we could win her seat, or it could be bad and open up the seat to someone worse. Thank goodness Tom Delay can’t run.

Comment #1: I hate that old shrew! She’s probably running for veep or something, that’s why she’s vacating… she’ll never really go away!

Original poster reply: Crap, I didn’t think of that! That’s scary, like really scary. OMG, what if she runs as President to try to beat that scarier shrew, Palin?! Ugh, I never thought I would root the Republicans on in favor or Romney or Christie.

What.The.Fuck. I will most likely lose this fb “friend” after my reply.

AMEN!

No matter what I will continue been a LEO

The dems and the media are really playing up the eye opening miracle yesterday, with Gillibrand and Wasserman-Schultz on the phone to CNN before the rally (I mean the memorial service) gushing about what a miracle it was. Others say she had opened her eyes before. A doctor tonight on CNN mentioned that she had opened her eyes for her husband, too. CNN did not ask him when and maybe spoil the miracle.

I watched the service from start to finish last night and was stunned at the themed commenorative t-shirts and the nonstop cheering through the service. There was a standing ovation for each victim as their name was read and of course for Obama. He started solemnly and respectfully but could not resist the cheering crowd after every 4 words he said. Pretty soon, he became Preacher Barack and went into his revival voice. The words were fine but the tone was not. He talked about lack of civil discourse three separate times. I was pretty disgusted with the whole thing and only hope the families of the victims handled it better than I did. It was truly bizarre. Welcome to the beginning of Obama campaign 2012.

In the clip I saw, there was a constant suppressed smile. It turned my stomach.

btw…guess who’s the RACIST now? Barack and his homeland gestapo:

Interesting fact: Reid Wilson of Hotline said the Republican National Committee (who are electing a new Chair today) has a rule that states the the chair and co-chair cannot be the same gender. This came up on Washington Journal this morning because there are 2 woman candidates running, but they are at a little disadvantage because all the candidates, except one, for the co-chair spot are woman. So if the rule is followed, the likelidhood that the winning co-chair will be a woman could hurt the woman candidates for chair. I’ll be interested to see if they follow their rule (institued by Gerald Ford, I believe).
Does anyone know if the dems also have this rule?

Another commenter on Uppity Woman talked to a reporter about the slogan being used in 2008 on the OPA site and this reply will reinforce what we are up against with the American media:

ProudMilitaryMom, on January 14, 2011 at 10:24 AM said:
Just spoke to this reporter BOB CHRISTIE (AP) who contributed to this article
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110114/ap_on_re_us/us_congresswoman_shot_rally
In which they say
“The university said it did the planning with minimal input from the White House. The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 20,000 T-shirts bearing the words “Together We Thrive,” which were handed out for free. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars.”

Called to ask him about the OFA screenshot. From the tone- I assume he has seen it. More importantly he told me “We can’t see any connection with a memorial and something that happened two years ago.”

He told me I could draw a connection if I wanted to but he didn’t see it.
Sound familiar? I am just a crazed old lady with a conspiratorial mind.

Here we go again ladies and gentlemen!
Pass the popcorn please.

Zee, The reporter called the gender rule ‘obscure’ so I wonder how much they enforce it? I’m sure it was a good thing when they adopted it but now it’s possible that it could keep both positions from being held by women.

How’s this for irony:

Just as Americans are debating whether untamed political rhetoric inspired the shooting of a congresswoman in Arizona, the founder of a project to promote civility in politics is calling it quits because only three elected members of Congress agreed to sign a rudimentary “Civility Pledge.”

Mark DeMoss, a Republican and a prominent evangelical Christian who runs a public relations firm in Atlanta, initiated CivilityProject.org in January 2009 because of alarm over what he saw as the increasingly vicious tone in American politics. He asked his friend, Lanny J. Davis, a Jewish Democrat and a lobbyist who worked for President Bill Clinton, to join the effort.

They sent out 585 letters asking every sitting governor and member of Congress to sign a pledge that said:

I will be civil in my public discourse and behavior.

I will be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them.

I will stand against incivility when I see it.

Mr. DeMoss said he in an interview that he is now folding the project after spending two years and about $30,000 in expenses on the endeavor. Three legislators had signed the pledge. They were Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut; Representative Frank Wolfe, Republican of Virginia; and Representative Sue Myrick, Republican of North Carolina.

The Obama Campaign eventually admitted to having $259 million in “unitemized donations”. MUR6142.com was filed with the FEC and is still an active Matter Under Review. It is unlikely that more than $40 million of the unitemized campaign funds were from donors under the reporting limit as the campaign did report many of those donors in their itemized donations.

All of the FEC reports made by the campaign before the election were later revised, with the campaign issuing an average 3 reports for every filing. And they still contain alot of garbage.

Could Obama have won the election without $200 million in illegal campaign contributions?

Do not be fooled again.

NYS, lots of “good catches” in your “Palin is Finished” DUdies report.

Especially that blast from the past about Zerobama joking about the predator drones. There is a very good link here, comparing the reaction to that joke to the time Gee Dubya joked about WMD and everyone threw a fit:

It was a deadly day overseas today…I saw disturbing footage on my local news channel, but apparently the war is no longer being covered on cable news? I don’t watch it enough to know…has anyone else seen coverage?

On a good news front, the awesome young man on my street was supposed to be deployed to Afghanistan and instead got switched to Iraq. So he came home during the draw down of troops and is back now. But the young woman who was relaying this news to me added she had another friend killed in Afghanistan. :/

Oo, dances, I just said that to my son: “Where’s Alice Paul day?”

Zee
Yep!!
All federal holidays are dedicated to dead men.
Not one for women. I’m just going to substitute women for all of those holidays.

Christmas is gonna be Mary Magdeline Day… Or maybe both Marys.
Or maybe Lilith Day… The only one with foresight enough to escape the impending set-up. Go Lilith!!!!

Wait I take it back. Monday is Alice Paul Day!

Tuscon Shooting Victim Who Blamed Sarah Palin is Arrested For Death Threat:

http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/01/tucson-shooting-victim-who-blamed-palin.html

I wonder if he will try to blame this on Sarah too.

And neither am I !!

(that was my Gemini twin agreeing)

I’m switching mine… Libra is a better fit than Scorpio.

Our local news channel had a Massachusetts astrologer, Dorothy Oja, said that every now and then someone tries to resurrect that myth about the thirteenth sign, etc, and that no one’s sign has changed.

She may be right, but there did use to be thirteen months of 28 days, or thirteen moons, as there are per year and per women’s cycles. That equals 364 days, with one day set aside every year. I would love to go back to that calendar. Whether or not that means there used to be 13 astrology signs I don’t know, but I’d never read about them when reading about the old calendars.

I thought it was Julius – July and Augustus- August?

28 day months makes perfect sense…
Natural cycles.
Women-centric.

for those who have been thinking about Christina Taylor – here is the eulogy given by MLK for three of the girls murdered by the white racist freaks who decided to put a bomb in a church on a Sunday morning. It is a very sweet eulogy, and I think Christina would have liked it.

yes, a few glasses of Pinot Noir have been in my vicinity this evening. You are seeing the gentler side. My Cancer Sun waiter had to deal with the Nile flood of astrology tonight. He handled it well, of course. I told him I knew the oppression of waiting tables and to be real, he would get a nice tip regardless. He was truly gracious! Love Cancer Suns!

Caesar and his stupid 12 month year….the original hope and “change” Obot bullying.

btw, I’m a solid, er, solidly fluid, Pisces, regardless of the wobble.

File under….bullying? Harassment? Mystery?

A sweet young woman at my work took an inexplicable likeness to me. She thought I was the most friendly, upbeat, etc…well, because I see that as my job, when I’m getting paid for it, lol.

Mostly I steer clear from office politics, drama, and gossip, but recently she kept complaining about a coworker who worked alongside her….he was a surly young man, always scowling, etc. Son or other close relative of a manager.

She recently kept telling me he was driving her to distraction, to the bitter end. She even mentioned he was making up stuff about her. I never asked what (my friends despair of my lack of prying) nor could I imagine what on earth there would be to say about this very straightforward and conscientious girl.

Well, after 2 weeks of not seeing her I finally asked someone if she was on vacation….and was told she up and quit. The boy must feel guilty about something, because he actually greeted me tonight instead of his usual wordless snarl. I don’t want to equate him with the shooter, Jared, but I wonder how many marginal cases might turn out to be something longterm and extremely problematic…and how and when do we know to get involved?

This young woman lives with her mom…who knows how important this job was to her…or why she felt harassed enough to quit? And should it be our business to know?

Zee 207

does your employer have at least 15 employees? if so, the former co-worker could have a harassment claim. The courts have made workplace harassment under Title VII harder and harder to prove, though. She needs to complain to the boss about the guy.

TT, I know you want to hear it so here we go: you’re right. You’re always right. And I love ya!!!

#208 turndownobama

Crap, I didn’t make that clear at all. It was Media Matters who tried to “debunk” the page that was scrubbed from Daily Kos. I’m not talking about the DLC map.

The page scrubbed from Daily Kos was a list of names in very fine print, along with their districts, and a message that these Dems should be targeted for primary challenges. Someone took a screen shot of the scrubbed page and added a pic of Giffords with an arrow to her name amongst the list, and also added a graphic of a target with an arrow pointing to the word “target.”

The idiots at Media Matters, whom I normally like, but this is the second time they’ve ginned up fake debunking, claim that this was being presented as what Daily Kos originally posted. As if. Why would they present a list of names and single out one of them? They wouldn’t. No one claimed they did. They were pointing out that Giffords, by name, was amongst their own “target” list. Had they merely added arrows and circled the words in question, no one would be able to read the words, as the print was too fine.

To make matters worse, Palin’s list was identical, in form, to Daily Kos’ list. In other words, Palin listed the reps at each district she was targeting. A long list of names in fine print. And for this, the so-called progressive community are saying she put a target ON Giffords.

It’s maddening. They excuse the DLC map because it was targeting “states, not people.” Palin’s targets were over districts, not people. But because she had a dense block of fine print names listed, she was suddenly “putting crosshairs on people.” But it was ok for Daily Kos to list Giffords as a target. And apparently it’s ok for an online magazine to picture Palin’s face with crosshairs right over it.

No wonder people are confused. I remember a carnival ride that spun as fast as all this…it plastered people to the wall and they could drop the floor because the center of gravity had shifted.

Headclunker, File26 has been emailed.

I thought I was a Capricorn and when I read the traits I had to agree they fit me pretty close, (although I don’t really pay attention to any of that stuff) With all the media of the change I went and read the traits of Sagittarius and…. nope that is just not me… so what I really want to know is, after this many years, when should I expect these traits to take me over?? Will it be a easy slow take over, or will I just wake up one day and be a different person??
Just curious, cause that drastic of change would seem to require a little preparation, ya know.

I watched an….wait for it….ALL MALE panel this morning on CNN discussing the “gun culture” and political landscape and their relation to the Tuscon shootings.

I was pleased that they had one guy, at least, who pointed out that Jared Loughner had been obsessed with Giffords long before anyone knew who Sarah Palin was. But of course the entire discussion devolved into a Palin-bashfest.

At one point two of the guyz started arguing about whether Sarah Palin knew the meaning of “blood libel.” Richard Cohen of the WP, whom I detest, surprised me by defending Palin’s usage as proper in the metaphorical sense. But in the obligatory fashion of defending Sarah Palin without offending the Bashists, he had to add in the standard I’m-not-saying-she’s-not-an-idiot declaimer. So he said she obviously had no idea of the history of the phrase yet somehow inadvertently used it correctly in a broader sense.

Another guy vehemently argued that she very much knew what it meant and had used it in an EEEEEEVIL fashion. Then added, “Are you saying she’s too stupid to know what it meant?”

And Cohen replied, “How much time do we have left to talk about how stupid Palin is?”

::thud:: as dances would put it.

And indeed, that was how the show ended because they were out of time for their distinguished white-guy panel.

meant to say but that is harder and harder to prove

Dragonfly, the urinal target!!!! I’m compiling a list, thanks…

I’m also thinking video game targets. Alllllll the modern hip postpartisan postfeminist self-proclaimed “progressive” yout’ (youth in cousin Vinnyese) say the women raped and slaughtered in video games are “not real.” But suddenly, because she lists one congresswoman’s name amongst many other Dem congressmen’s names Sarah Palin is putting a target on a PERSON. Never mind that Daily Kos listed her name, too.

What a perfect storm .

What’s next for BO?

Thanks for that info on the rape statistics. I’ve been reading up on the rape kits, too, since they laid that one on Demon Palin as well. Most rape kits gather dust. And all the lowlife Palin Bashists who claim to care so much have no clue nor do they care about that.

I just passed out the barf bags in case you need one for the following tidbit…

Some kneecap to the floor O-fluffer from NYTimes called Zero’s speech in Tuscon comparable to the Gettysburg address.

Give me strength.

wontbackdown 226, 228, et seq

You are awesome. After that horrifying news of the propaganda campaign, it was good to read the words of a feminist who also happens to have a y chromosome. Rare, they are, and priceless. If only there had been more of them thousands of years ago when the Goddess was raped and dismembered in the warrior god mythologies. Misogyny was given legitimacy in the so called heroics of Marduk, among other sources. Rape is misogynistic terrorism, and to see that it is characterized as not a threat when ‘domestic’ infuriates me. Yep, that is why marital rape was not illegal for centuries in this land of the free.

thanks for the barfbag, Zee, I needed it!

I’ll take a valium after I finish my brief – for now, binging on chocolate and coffee.

Not gonna change my sign either, even if I don’t really believe in that stuff, I am a Scorpio down to the last wild drop.

On January 7, 2011 Democratic Congressman Jose’ E. Serrano of New York introduced legislation (HJ Res 17) to amendment the Constitution of the United States to repeal term limits of the President.

Oh, isn’t this nice? MTV’s latest show (imported from Great Britain) teaches the kids rape strategies…and the reviewer calls it “borderline date rape.” It takes two diminishing modifiers for this kind of rape we’re teaching our boys as normal.

lol, then the guy is right on clockwork…he’s been proposing that every two year for a long time, regardless of who is in office. Oo, and this should be a historic one…it’s the 22nd proposal the 22nd amendment should be repealed! It’s been proposed by members of both parties, repeatedly, and immaterial of which party was in office. None of the proposals have even come up for a vote, let alone get passed to the states for ratification.

TT:

While your pinned down a bit, would you mind drafting a plan on how to resurrect the real democratic party, a no suck-up woman’s org with some legislative power and a guidebook on how to differentiate right wing from left wing women’ rights interests.

If that’s too taxing, a cartoon rendering of a Naomi’s Ark for murdered, battered, abused and exploited women seeking protection under law, services, justice in the courts and real democratic, political party representation would be nice.

Here you go, TT….I hope it entertains…and uplifts…:)

Shock and Ahhh

For patients with impatience I propose
pre-emptive strikes to rid oneself of all
potential trouble spots, appendix, nose-
bump excess, tonsils, lumps, and stones of gall
and kidney, not to mention scooping out
the fat, and lady parts, both north and south.
And tuck that tum and bum in one full bout
of global surgery. From lip-plumped mouth
to trimmed jawline, just get the works done once
and show that flesh you brook no mutiny.

And if recovery is slow, takes months,
consider this: if over-scrutiny
reveals a you in less than perfect form,
you’re lifted ere you walk when you’re reborn.

Seriously TT,

Sorry you’ve been carrying around an extra-heavy load

Zee:

Would you give your take on why we are spending billions in this country without DEMANDING that they impose strict laws against ALL Religious Laws inciting horrific abuses of women and girls?

Those “extremists” are becoming more the norm – we’re losing that war on “terrorism” – “Fundamentalist Extremists” – because Pakistan is allowing courts to uphold those extremist laws – like “Blasphemy”

Killings of newborn babies on the rise in Pakistan

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110117/wl_asia_afp/pakistanchildreninfanticide

wbd, my take??? My take is that we’re living in the middle of The Body Snatchers, in real time. If I knew why the pod-progressives are a-ok with Zero’s gender apartheid health care, where women are dictated to about their medical decisions, I’d be one of them. All I know is that Islam gets a big fat pass, and it’s mandatory to say alllllll the other religions are the “same” orrrr that it’s not Islam it’s “local customs” or “extremists” if you talk about child brides and acid-burning women and castrating girls, etc.

It doesn’t seem to bother the pod-progressives that the stoning of a 13 yr old who was raped was not an “extremist” or “terrorist” attack, but the sentence imposed by their LAW.

And inevitably if you bring up the burqa, the guyz rush to say how the “women like it.”

It doesn’t even matter who’s president. Islam gets a pass. I would say that the overriding principle is “tolerance and inclusion” — except for the fact that the norm for the pod progressives is to bash Catholicism. Say “I don’t know how women could be Catholic” and no one bats an eye and all the pods agree. Say “I don’t know how any woman could be Islamic” (with vastly more justification) and you’re a backward, intolerant, racist.

Women are still slaves. The pod-consensus is that people shouldn’t own other people…except if the abuse is of women, that’s a local, family, tradition, custom, etc etc, and we shouldn’t interfere with how the menfolk run things, because it’s the women passing on these “traditions” anyway, blah blah blah.

Same as there is no rape…it’s “marginal date rape” at most.

I went through the same surgery in my thirties. 6 weeks of no driving, no stairs, just rest. Had to sit on the patio while my ex-husband accidently burned down my pear trees while he was supposedly clearing an overgrown patch at the bottom of a steep hill which I could not go down to stop him because it would pull the stitches out. My first trip out of the house was to drive myself to the doctor’s for my 6 week checkup. But, when I got to the car my house and car keys were not in my purse because I hadn’t been out of the house for all those weeks. Luckily I found a neighbor to climb in a bedroom window and bring my keys out. Remember the whole experience like it was yesterday.

Come on…
No, he was not “shaking his fist”, his mostly closed hand was gesturing to add emphasis.
Doesn’t he say and do enough obviously inappropriate things without anyone having to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find ways to criticize him??

DWP 281 are you really taking up for him? thanks for the laugh, I needed it! I am procrastinating.

wow, BCL 279, I winced reading that about the pear trees. Nothing you could do – except divorce him. My ex probably would have burned down the trees on purpose to punish me for being incapacitated. blah.

Ditto wbd 275

TT, listen to goofsmom – she recently revealed she is a Scorpio Sun. It is best to obey Scorpio Sun women, I have found (raised by two of them).

And goofsmom, TT, Zee, DWP, all of you who were worried, Ophiuchus is not getting his own sign, all is well. It’s all explained here:

http://www.bluemoon.bz/astrology/ophiuchus/

and yes, TT, I am getting to work again. Making the 4th pot of coffee in 36 hours.

helplessly laughing, sorry…dragonfly, I get the feeling TT is not happy being told to obey…

BCL, I’ve been distressed about the pear trees since I read that…there are no words.

It’s ok Zee, Dragonfly knows I’m an Aries with a Middle Finger Rising .

Dragonfly,

for calling the Zero memorial address comparable to the Gettysburg address.

And pardon me for dropping a turd in the punchbowl, but if it were my child, or husband, or parent who had been gunned down senselessly, I would be some pissed off if anyone suggested that his or her death had any larger meaning…Death is oblivion, so premature, violent death is an unforgiveable theft. If anything happens as a result of this latest gun-fueled massacre of the innocents, let’s hope it’s something a little more important than rearranging the deck chairs seating chart for the State of the Union Address on the Titanic, or calls of more “civility” in the “discourse.”

I don’t think she’s really apologizing, TT, but at least now we know who peed in their cheerios while she was at it!

Headclunker 01.17.11 at 9:45 pm
DWP,
Closed hand or fist, it is still not an appropriate gesture for the occasion. That whole deal being turned in to a rally gives me the creeps.
——————-
Not a completely closed hand.
Your complaint should be about the campaign rally memorial…
to drag in a gesture captured in still photo and deem it an inappropriate gesture for a memorial service is ludicrous and diminishes credibility.
Besides that, how do you claim your critique when this entire conversation began with you asking for opinions and judgements regarding still photos of obama from the memorial. If you had watched it you’d realize that you are making a mountain out of a non-existent molehill and going mountain climbing.

sorry Dances, didn’t follow the exchange because I am fairly brain dead from my insane work schedule complicated by what TT calls “procrastination.” I love Headclunker even if she is climbing a mountain that is not there. I haven’t even checked the links – being an Aquarian Sun, I have that audacious and annoying habit of commenting before reading on the assumption that I instinctively know what is going on. Murphy, fortunately, lacks this habit, hence her great success!

Malbec, yummmmm. It’s an Argentinian grape I believe.

TT, perfect description in layperson’s terms of your actual rising sign – it fits, doncha think?

love to all you PUMAs.

I’m not sure if anyone here reads the WH Insider on News Flavor. It’s all such fascinating stuff, but I’m not sure whether or not to believe it.

In this edition the Insider claims that Hillary is now weighing options for 2016:

http://nation.foxnews.com/arizona-shooting-rampage/2011/01/18/tucson-shooting-victim-there-would-be-torture-and-then-ear-neckl

He’d like to sever the ears of republicans and have them made into an ear necklace.

Sounds like a rational, intelligent man, right?

I do know that this isn’t funny, but I don’t know why I can’t stop laughing. Maybe so that I don’t cry.

omg, delle..! The details of the ear necklace, down to how he would arrange them according to size…craziness.

I will not say I count the ways because
there is no way to tally up the folly

“How do I loathe thee? Let me cut the ears

Kanye West’s newest video. I’ll link to it thru TGW….there’s a petition to sign, too, against its being aired on MTV.
http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/

The lyrics are something about being lonely and would you die for love tonight. The IMAGES are of young white women strung up by the neck in chains, apparently dead, clad only in string bikini lingerie. Some of the dead women are propped up in bed and Kanye and Jay Z and others move their arms and heads and kiss them. One of the dead women lies sprawled on a table while one of the guys eats meat.

And this was just a small clip of the entire video.

Anyone have words to describe this?

Zee #308
O’Reilly mentioned the ear necklace on his show tonight. He also mentioned that the NY Post and Fox News were the only places covering it.
I’m glad that O’Reilly did his talking points about this man and his crazy behavior. Now at least a few million viewers will be aware of it.

“Women are the future…unless we stop them!” the high school boy said to the cheers of classmates….he’d just passed out a demeaning list of the school’s most beautiful and talented girls and ranked them on looks and sexuality. One of the girls reported having trouble taking a test she was shaking so badly.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/3360990-418/list-girl-students-girls-ranking.html

After distributing the fliers to other male students Friday afternoon, the author walked to the student center… He is captured on one cell phone video hollering, “Women are the future, unless we stop them now,” as he danced around to a cheering crowd of students.

Thanks, goofs, I needed that thud!

Oh, but all is cleared up now! Hung like a Horsefly (my nick for the resident troll over at TGW) has patiently MANSPLAINED it all to us stupid wimminfolk.

See, it’s ok to string up the beautiful young women like Japanese lanterns and paw and kiss their corpses in bed, because…! Doh! they are ZOMBIES. Not “real” women. Already dead zombies, suitable for decorating the apartment by hanging by the neck and violating their rottingly pliant but still firm bodies like cooling flesh blowup dolls.

Got that? We cool now?

On my way out for five days …
But, I’m in.
Are we including our “governors” as well?

Well, I have no more time to look, but it appears that this biblical “gender-identification” specialist is the prime and only source for the impending February vote in Uganda. He may well be correct…it may be that misinfo is being dispersed that the bill has fizzled so that they can vote and pass this legislation without the pesky world community weighing in and pressuring Uganda. Besides the death penalty, which may or may not be dropped, the bill carries prison sentences for anyone who knows about, and doesn’t report “homosexual activity”—and somehow the bill requires extradition for any Ugandan anywhere in the world caught having sex with a foreigner of the same gender. Sheesh.

It certainly can’t hurt to keep the spotlight on this bill during the final months of their parliament’s session.

And, thanks goofsmom and Zee.

So the men just tell the boys to act “LIKE A MAN” so they do……
*************************
I gotta tell a true story about men teaching the boys how to be men, only these were male elephants. There had been so much elephant poaching in Africa that the big males with the big tusks were hunted out in one area, and there were only teenaged males left. These young males acted like out of control teenagers harassing all the other animals and even chasing rhinos and killing some. After they got the poaching under control, wildlife managers decided to bring in some big older males to teach them the proper way an adult male acts in elephant society. Worked like a charm – the teenagers learned they were not so tough and that they had to follow herd etiquette. Where are the adult male humans when these boys act immature?

“went longer than planned.”

“On the other hand, Jeff Sharlet reported a conversation with Bahati on the matter. CNN interviewed David Bahati who said clearly that the bill would be considered. In November, Bahati told me that the bill would be considered before the Parliament ended in May. He confirmed that again to Rachel Maddow in December when he was in the US. Finally, Stephen Tashobya, the chair of the Ugandan committee which has jurisdiction over the bill, told me that the Anti-Homosexuality would be considered after the nation holds elections in February. Today, he said nothing has changed.

Back in January, 2010, President Yoweri Museveni told his party members that the supporters of the bill needed to work with the Europeans and Americans on the issue; he did not say to shelve it – at least in public. Some sources have told me on the condition of anonymity that Museveni has assured the US that the bill will be vetoed. However, he has not to my knowledge said that publicly. Mr. Tashobya told me that the President has not indicated any position on the situation to him. Tashobya also told me he has no reason to think that the President will not allow the bill to become law, with possible amendments.

Note from CJK (had to re-register for some reason): While the LSM and Obamacrats drone on with platitudes about more ‘civil political discourse’ — a euphemism for censoring anyone who disagrees with their positions — their misogynistic patriarchal power structure looks the other way while the woman-hatred continues to fester and spread…

I love that story…and it also makes me immeasurably sad. Why is it we don’t learn from and cherish and protect elephants? They hold funerals. They’re a people.

Zee: Either way, Good deduction. The Bill IS NOT dead, Stupak was not a harmless blowhard and Bush policies are a way of life.

Tabloids: the operative word is “busting”

wbd…so you’ve seen all the rumblings about Roe in the GOP “sights” to use the common terminology no longer PC to say.

We’re going to be facing a double attack on SS and reproduction rights. With jug ears getting to blame the Republicans for his own marching orders/inner accord.

I’ve been out amongst the Obots and have been snapping their heads off when they regurgitate that crap about Palin saying “blood libel.” And they talk about “faux news” viewers. They’re regurgitating shit they know nothing about. If it’s such a well-known insult, how come none of them ever heard of it before and/or never raised hell when many others used it before SP? It’s just a saving face non-issue raised to distract from the fact that the AZ shooter was obsessed with Gabby from before Palin was on the scene and so their immediate Palin pile-on was an embarrassing epic fail.

Zee: Yes. the “rumblings” are ideological “code” language – speaking loudly to those who are so conditioned to its nuances, it doesn’t need a megaphone to rally and keep the “tribes” attacking the “enemy” of its fundamental beliefs or primary purposes.

Sometimes you just have to mirror their own bs back at them. They’ll either see the hypocrisy or try and use it against you to cover their ass and kill the messenger. Either way, you will know when the message will survive the messenger. If that was the intent and that happens, it’s all good.

Is this the Hillary “ad” that you are talking about?
