Is Rush getting convicted on money laundering and doctor shopping for hillbilly heroin, oxycontin? I heard he was buying from kids in the "ghetto". Wonder if he had sex with them, I imagine 100 pills a day he must have been pretty fucked up? And coercing his maid into buying junk for him. Still on the air spewing hate. Guess Republican sponsors aren't as moral as we thought. Flush Rush Flush Rushbaugh Still Reigning Junkie Pig

I'm curious:
the actions of a few people in ACORN has shocked many of us (including me)...and I see some of the more "right" leaning posters on this board wanting to destroy the entire company. by this logic, I'm curious if you now also believe our US military should also be destroyed because of the actions of some of our troops at Abu Ghraib?

I don't think the army is a fair analogy for a company. I say Acorn can do whatever it wants, but I don't believe it should be federally funded if it's corrupt. That's my bottom line.

How is that so? The Army is nothing like Acorn. The people at Acorn aren't protecting America from invasion or terrorism, correct me if I'm wrong..
Acorn "rehabilitates" people, the army kills people. If you set up a company and your company is corrupt then it needs to be dropped from tax-payers taxes. If a couple dip-shits in an army did corrupt things, we have no choice, what abolish the whole army? Good point...? We need an Army we don't need Acorn, especially if it's corrupt by nature. Your saying that the Army is a company, which it is not. Your saying that people die to serve Acorn which serves our country. False Analogies serve no purpose in a debate, the two terms have to be equivalent, otherwise it's just bunk. But I do agree Acorn has very right to do what it does, just not from tax dollars, if it's going to embrace crime. I also agree that the army is pretty fucked up, but you can't have a country with no army, whereas we CAN have a country without acorn. Also if it were up to me, we wouldn't still be fighting this war.

I think anyone who commits any kind of war-crime should be shipped off to jail. But I do think every country should have an army for defense until human beings decide to grow up and stop killing each other.
I don't think the military are good guys, but I don't think all of them are bad either. A lot of people in the military are just lost. I think pretty much everything government funded/created needs to be purified at this point, there's just too much backwards shit going on. if Acorn cleaned up then I wouldn't mind having them around, but after that kind of scandal I really do believe they need to form some kind of greater legitimacy before being funded by the people again. Geeno - I'd like to know that as well.

edit: I use "you" alot in this post, because you responded to my question, but just for clarity, "you" is not entirely personal, but to everyone who expressed the sentiment...
![]() Quote:
So the army can be corrupt...they can have MEMBERS within it commit outlandish and shocking acts, but because they provide a service you personally deem necessary they are exempt from the logic you expressed regarding acorn (re: if members of an organization do something obscene, they deserve to be destroyed)? Acorn, in theory, is protecting America from disenfranchisement. Your personal opinion might be that this is less "important" than a military, but this assumption has nothing to do with your original argument. what does "importance" have to do with your belief that because ACORN has some bad apples in it that it should be destroyed? And why does "importance" exempt institutions like the army from your same wrath? Is congress exempt from your corruption "all or nothing" mentality? How about your local police force? GM? Quote:
So should I be exempt from funding the military if I find their atrocities and "bad apples" incongruous with my belief systems? your logic here is insane...because the army is "needed" we should see the greater good they do in contrast with the mistakes of a few...but because ACORN as a single company is NOT needed, we shouldn't? Besides the inherent mistake of pre-supposing your personal views of what is/is not necessary as universal truth, I continue to fail to see why "importance" is in control of your slide-bar of tolerance for atrocious actions. If a famous actor on your movie set raped a co-star, and an extra raped a co-star...are you suggesting it's appropriate to fire the extra since you can replace him, but keep the famous actor because he's vital to your film? Quote:
I said no such thing. I am merely providing context and exposing hypocrisy based on political affiliation overriding common sense. I could just as easily employed a different governmental subsidy that contains bad eggs...say...the park service...which is not "NECESSARY" but would still expose the hypocrisy of the "destroy it" mentality towards ACORN. If a few park rangers embezzled money, chopped down rare trees, and had orgies on public land, would you say destroy the park service, or address the problem(s) exposed by this atrocious behavior and let it continue it's work? Quote:
I agree! Unfortunately, this IS (well, WAS) an equivalent analogy...you have simply changed the parameters in your response to make it a "false" analogy and keep your dissonance in check. Never once has "importance" been in this discussion until you "added" that as a neccessary criteria to when/when not to destroy a complete institution because of the actions of a few within it. Now that you have, I have provided you with other examples of less "important" by your standard roles in our society. The park service...or how about the straphangers...or a political movement like the green party...or your local supermarket? this, by the way, is all hinged upon what your personal ethics deems "important" and "unimportant." I find disenfranchisement and getting people motivated politcally and socially to be a VERY important cause, regardless of party or "views." Quote:
Are you therefore in complete agreement that faith-based initiatives and charities should not receive government help in any form? Should each of us get to choose whre our personal tax donations go? If I disagree with you about, say, the necessity for an army, should I be able to exempt myself from this, as you seem to think you should be exempt from ACORN (let alone the belief you should be able to dictate that NO ONE's taxes should go to their support)? Quote:
but on a more concilliatory note: I agree (!!) with you that this war should end...I'm far more upset about the mistake of GOING to war, but finding a way to end this as soon as possible without fucking things up even more is absolutely something I stand with you on.

'' and isn't that Military thingy paid with taxes? I mean by those working, not those teabog insurance lackey's masters sheltering in Cayman Islands or drug propaganda. Why do these teabogs hate the troops? When O'Really was busted for sexual harassment, shouldn't faux infotainment have taken the rap? No because its only about ACORN registering voters, the one thing the moneysluts can't buy off and totally control. Only divert and lie as they do pushing the drug war. AIG is getting more tax bailout than ACORN ever got to help American citizens. Hell the dick army of teabogs probably spent more than ACORN spewing lies to keep the ER and taxes paying for what the Insurance dead beats won't. Pitifuools and their blind allegiance... tsk tsk tsk
* U.S. to Take Over AIG in $85 Billion Bailout * Why the AIG bailout just keeps getting bigger * Two weeks after AIG bailout, execs party in style Less than two weeks after Uncle Sam gave American International Group (AIG) an $85 billion loan - staving off financial collapse - execs from one of its insurance subsidiaries, AIG American General, gathered for a conference at the uber-swank St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, billed as “California’s only Mobil Travel Guide Five-Star Resort,” where ocean-view rooms start at $565 a night and “world class luxury” is the rule.

DDC I have no desire to read your ignorant one-sided banter.
However JCP, I do see what you mean. I think my core problem with this is just how backwards it was. Like instead of getting people off the streets in the video they were instead embracing the behaviour that keeps them there. Perhaps if they had REAL employees yea know, it wouldn't be so bad after all. However I am upset that 45% of those peoples salaries came from tax-payers. As I said above, if they fixed the problem I'd be supportive, but it sucks being a citizen. Because we don't know if something is just or fixed, and the only way to find out is to send some 20 year old dressed like a pimp in to find out... I really do wish we could as individuals chose where we spend our tax dollars. Pretty much here's how I see it JCP, I think in a truly capitalistic society(call me an idealist), people should donate whatever money they want to whatever organizations they approve of. Therefore the companies that florish are truly desired by the people. I don't know of most anyone who supports the war, yet here we all are paying to to watch the beating of a dead-horse(the war)... I didn't mean to twist your argument, I'll be the first to admit, my head get's twisted itself. But I still believe an army is necessary. If you were in Pittsburgh right now you might understand why, you know the G20 having all the world leaders in one place. I wish it weren't but if people are willing to fly air-planes into buildings then we need some line of defense. I believe in peace, but I know that some people just sadly can't be peaceful... I think there needs to be a way to stop corruption, I just wish I was brilliant enough to figure out a way.

I have the self-discipline to "behave" and "give back" without taxes...You seem like you would be too..I'm not sure if most people are tho. I also understand your stance on the military...and I agree to a point. In the world we live in we need a military. But the world won't change until someone lowers their weapon first. So my "utopian" brain sees the solution...but my practical brain knows humanity needs to grow the fuck up before it would be feasable. I always look to the Star Trek universe as a prime example of what could happen if people would...for lack of a better word...stop being such assholes. I too wish I could figure out a way to stop corruption. Unfortunately, corruption is a choice made by individuals, and no one can control anyone else. That's the dark side of choice (I don't believe in free will, but that's for spiritual smoke, lol). Som people choose badly...and we all have to pay the price

![]() Many of us were shocked? Na, slimeballs have been ambushing peaceful Americans for decades. This is what amounts to satire, a made up unofficial spoof scenerio between two people in normally private off the wall small talk. Thousands of hours of stalking and they end up with another swift boat back stabbing and lies. Set em up like a snitch, knowing all the while you want to hurt them. For what? Getting people affordable housing? Registering voters? Used to be protection from private recording for this reason. Not truth, editing a one sided sabotage. Still nothing. Not illegal or anything to do with ACORN. Not like Limbog money laundering, doctor shopping or buying heroin from kids, perversion, fraud, using DEA funds to gamble on slot machines losing 8 million? Going AWOL or the big lie about Ganja perpetuated by these very same teabog ditties. All hat and no cowboy. While Nixon Campaigned, FBI Watched John Lennon Saccharan compassion and astroturf plastic grassroots, for a few conglomerants upper decks golden parachutes. Teabogs running interference stopping the discussion with ignorant whoops and yells, when the real commies are robbing them blind, jumping ship in Cayman Islands tax shelters, taxes made up by teabog ditties. Or tax paid (pork) programs cut, teachers, fire, and infrastructure. Biraq's still Obombn' Boosh lie and no bid contracts. Military and Drug War keeps increasing the tax burden. Trillion dollars to Halliburden, Dyncorps, Lockheed and Sikorsky, Blackwater, Exxon, Chevron and Dupont Monsanto aborting bible belt babies while op rescue shoots doctors in churches for geeeeeezus and the dick army cheers. Wall Sleeze Spontaneous Abortionists * Souder Fungus Déjà Vu! * Drug War Roadshow & Plunder in Souderville * Only the Potheads Will Survive? * Souder Orders to FDA Backfiring! * DeLay Pesticidal Killers * Poison Inc.

"Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937 ![]() I hope you like what this guy is pouring, because you’ll be eating it soon Tom Delay pesticidal baby killing, parent sickening cancinigens. Agent Green or Orange running off into the same oceans, same rivers and wells, causing more sickness for their subsidiary Drug Business to profit. Degrade the clean air and water acts, place corporate brownoses heading EPA and FDA and another memo reader in the DEA. CIA still works for Boosh. FBI is totally UnAmerican, a wet dream of a transvestite, same as Anslingers drug war or Rockefeller buying the 18th Amendment, then selling it after removing the ethanol stills and hemp crop. Firmly establishing a crude oil monopoly on transportation, with all the toxins and dioxins and sulfur, hey teabog ditty, suck on a tailpipe ya think it don't matter? Palin talks US-China relations in speech in Asia, before a room packed with more than a thousand investors and bankers at an annual investment conference.

Lies killing Americans, and then lies not treating the wounded. PTSD still gets turned down and is treated with Ganja, maybe the only saving grace and the corporatists jerking off the flag care less. Deadbeat Insurance pushing it onto the tax payers. Glum Bluck had to consume hours dreaming of schemes to "trap" the people helping the poor.

Grammy Sweep by Dixie Chicks Is Seen as a Vindication ![]() “It’s quite suspicious To say the least Even mentioned it to my priest One Our Father, three Hail Marys Each Saturday night. . .” —from by George Harrison. U2b John Lennon, the lost interviews September 6, 2009 ![]() Jesus H. Christ! Vatican Pardons Lennon! JL vs. JC Again I read the news today, oh boy, about Obama possibly naming Monsanto shill Tom Vilsack as secretary of agriculture (help!), and Donald Rumsfeld opining in the NYT about strategy in Afghanistan (cough), and Ahmad Chalabi -- the Zelig of the Middle East -- kissing Obama’s ring in the New York Times in yet another slimy bid to become emperor of Iraq. . . And how the Vatican pardoned John Lennon. Eh? As I recall, Lennon is still dead, and therefore not in much of a position to enjoy a pardon. As I also recall, Lennon never attacked the Vatican, or the Pope, never killed anyone, never helped turn Wall Street into a slot machine. Funny -- when you read about someone being “pardoned,” especially by the Vatican, isn’t it generally for a rather nefarious deed? Didn’t Pope John Paul forgive that nutso who shot him? Lennon did, of course, once suggest that The Beatles might be a bigger draw than Jesus Christ, but then, Christ was dead at the time (still is), and his talents as a performer remain open to question. I checked the rest of the news today, oh boy. Nope. Nothing about the Vatican meeting with Generalissimo Francisco Franco, or urging that nations try to stave off World War I. I checked my watch. Yup, just as I thought. 2008. No new Beatles music since 1970. Yet there was the Reuters copy: The Vatican's newspaper has finally forgiven John Lennon for declaring that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, calling the remark a "boast" by a young man grappling with sudden fame. continued... JL actually compliments JC -- something he also did, not incidentally, in interviews throughout his life. The man was a Christ fan. The salient part of his statement, really, is how Jesus’ “disciples were thick and ordinary -- it’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.” Yowzah! Can you say. . .Pat Robertson? John Hagee? Boy, did JL hit the nail on the head here, pardon the metaphor. It’s the televangelists, the martinet priests and pastors and ministers, and the poor dunderhead intolerant true-believers who know that they are gwyne up to hebbin’ because The Babble tells them so. . .who screw up the whole deal. It is these guys who have turned the unassailable goodness of Christ’s ideas into stupidity, hypocrisy, tyranny, evildoing, insanity. Mormon underwear, anyone? I have a personal relationship with Christ. Vatican celebrating Beatles' White Album ![]() (Telegraph) Beatles smash album sales records Woman’s Christian Vengeance Union O.N.D.C.Pope Demonizing Religionists US: Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew In '74 by Raymond Cushing, (29 Mar 2001) San Antonio Current United States Wednesday, March 28, The United States Supreme Court rules on whether marijuana use for medicinal purposes can be a valid defense on charges of marijuana possession. The following article was listed as one of the top 25 censored stories of the year 2000. We reprint it here and pose the question, why would the government want to keep us from knowing this? ![]() Teabog Dtties: Hoolligans Loudmouth Bullies Fox Newturds 1) They really don't care about the debt and are just howling about whatever Rush tells them to in the hopes it will return their party to power 2) It's really about what the president spends the money one, ie, killing brown people vs. providing economic stability and growth here at home." Ironically, he’s the most sensible one in the crowd. ![]() Arrested Development is an American television sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The show is centered around the Bluths, a formerly wealthy, habitually dysfunctional family and is presented in a pseudo-documentary format, incorporating hand-held camera work, narration, archival photos, and historical footage. GOP is using the ‘Brooks Brothers Riot’ playbook The Brooks Brothers riot is the term coined to describe the demonstration at a meeting of election canvassers in Dade County, Miami on November 19, 2000, during a recount of votes made during the 2000 United States presidential election. The name refers to a traditional brand of suits associated with conservative business dress, reinforcing the allegation that the corporately attired protesters sporting "Hermès ties" were astroturfing, which is to say that they were not, in fact, just ordinary local citizens expressing their concerns about unfair counting practices. Hundreds of "paid GOP crusaders" descended upon South Florida to protest the state's recounts, with at least half a dozen of the demonstrators at Miami-Dade paid by George W. Bush's recount committee. Several of these protesters were identified as Republican staffers and a number later went on to jobs in the Bush administration. ![]() Miami 'Riot' Squad: Where Are They Now? Some of those pictured have gone on to other things, including stints at the White House. For example, No. 1. Tom Pyle, who had worked for Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), went private sector a few months later, getting a job as director of federal affairs for Koch Industries. ![]() "When Tom DeLay goes to prison they can show his dancing video to the inmates" -CNN's Jack Cafferty Garry Malphrus, No. 2 in the photo, a former staff director of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice, is now deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. And Rory Cooper, No. 3, who was at the National Republican Congressional Committee, later worked at the White House Homeland Security Council and was seen last week working for the Presidential Inaugural Committee. We couldn't find No. 4, Kevin Smith, a former GOP House aide who later worked with Voter.com, or No. 5, Steven Brophy, a former GOP Senate aide and then at consulting firm KPMG. If you know what they are doing these days, please e-mail shackelford@washpost .comso we can update our records. Matt Schlapp, No. 6, a former House aide and then a Bush campaign aide, has risen to be White House political director. No. 7. Roger Morse, another House aide, moved on to the law and lobbying firm Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds. "I was also privileged to lead a team of Republicans to Florida to help in the recount fight," he told a legal trade magazine in a 2003 interview. No. 8. Duane Gibson, an aide on the House Resources Committee, was a solo lobbyist and formerly with the Greenberg Traurig lobby operation. He is now with the Livingston Group as a consultant. No. 9. Chuck Royal was and still is a legislative assistant to Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a former House member. No. 10. Layna McConkey Peltier, who had been a Senate and House aide and was at Steelman Health Strategies during the effort, is now at Capital Health Group. Same ole Swifboats Different Day...

John K Ferry your words are as empty now as when you were pretending to be dubya. My post speak for themselves without wingnut inturpretations. Teabog idots have been terrorizing Americans under different titles since Askrap tried legislating morality. Yes you should run and hide under that GOPerverted rock. Truth always gonna kick your sorry ass right out of the gossip sheets. What a lapdog. Is the caps meaning your crying? Ah poor teabog ditty, protecting us from them po people by sucking up to the rich? Na, just a typical mouthfarting GOPervert with no ass to back anything up. Teabog Delay or the dick army of thugs, its all the same nazi style of ambush and discredit. Not unlike all of your posts chump. Only I'm not a sick frail frightened uninsured old lady. Boo, you fucking pussy!

and i dont understand how if your one issue is drug legalization how u can link up everythign else with all these conspiracies and make yourself crazy thinking about how dick cheney is responsible for marijuana being made illegal by roosevelt in 1937-
if the democrats were gonna legalize pot that would be enough of a reason for me to vote democrat, (as long as they stop with this socialized medicine public option crap). but i dont think they will anymore than the gop. so im not sure whether u have contemp for both parties, or just the gop or what, but its a bipartisan thing that drugs are illegal. they each deserve equal blame for it- u have a lot in common with moamar ghaddafi i see- u both love conspiracy theories and imagine these fantasy reasons for why things are the way they are, altho at least ghaddafi wrote his own material, he didnt copy and paste from alex jone's marijuana blog. |

Thanks Terry But this is like shooting crackers in a barrel. I don't know why Teabogs need someone to splain my posts. The pics are for the illiterate, the links are self explanatory. Do these rush fanatics actually follow his dictates? I'll leave it up to the patrons to read for themselves. Be well About Ashcroft Senator John Ashcroft sounded the alarm in 1997 when the Clinton administration pushed for greater powers to eavesdrop on electronic communications. Now in power in Bush's cabinet, he is presiding over a massive endrun around the Constitution that far surpasses former plans. See recent accounts of Bush Administration plans in the New York Times and Washington Post.
