YouTube – Unruly Republicans Disrupt Health Care Debate

Even if you ignore the silly Jesus stuff in the beginning of this video, it’s obvious that the ridiculous ACORN witch hunt is not about illegal activity, it’s about ideology. There are government contractors with FAR more egregious records of fraud (Northrop Grumman, etc.) and other illegal activity including murder (Blackwater) that are not receiving the same scrutiny.

In fact, Sean Hannity dismissed Blackwater’s actions because they are, in his words, “keeping us safe.” (Don’t get me started on that little bit of wingnut fantasy.)

As I’ve posted before, if Acorn was in the business of KILLING brown people instead of HELPING them this would not be an issue.

Oh, and the Defund ACORN Act IS a “bill of attainder” and, as such, is unconstitutional. But Fox won’t tell you that. In fact, the only way it could be constitutional is if it is applied equally to “any organization that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency [, or applied to] any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.”

“In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex.”

Of all the stupid arguments against gay marriage (and believe me, they are all stupid), this is the biggest forehead-slapper. I’M not getting gay married. YOU’RE not getting gay married. About 200 million Americans aren’t getting gay married. How exactly will this lead to the extermination of the human race?

Fucking moron.

1. Fact. Bush had more czars than Obama.

2. Fact. The number of czars a given administration has means absolutely nothing.

3. Fact. The term “czar” is a media fabrication. There is no official title of “[Something] Czar” in any administration.

4. Fact. Most of the “czars” Glenn Beck is fixated upon actually WERE vetted and approved by Congress, contrary to his claims.

Question!

What is Judge Sonia Sotomayor doing in this photo?

Is she “endur[ing] a third day of confirmation hearings” as the Washington Post has captioned the photo? Looks like those Republican senators really put her in her place, doesn’t it?

No.

Actually, she’s laughing at a joke by Senator Al Franken (I will NEVER tire of saying that). Now, why would the Washington Post caption the photo the way they did, especially in light of the fact that the SAME image is more appropriately (and accurately) captioned elsewhere?

Media Matters

The deceit of Sean Hannity knows no bounds. Why is this asshole still on TV?

Check out the video:

Here’s video of Glenn Beck and some wingnut guest of his, Michael Scheuer, actually wishing for bin Laden to launch another attack on the U.S.

Actual quote: “Only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.”

What a fucking ghoul. I’m not making this up.

Video after the jump. Read the rest…
