Mitt Romney: “Of Course” the Economy Is Getting Better
I thought I’d put up this little tidbit about the economy taken from an appearance by Mitt Romney on Laura Ingraham’s show (January 20, 2012). I have a feeling it will come in handy in July, August, September, October and November, if you know what I mean (wink, wink).
Mitt:
Well of course it’s getting better. The economy always gets better after a recession. There’s always a recovery…
[...]
Have you got a better one [argument] Laura? It just happens to be the truth.
Limbaugh Will Defend a Republican on Things He’d Massacre a Democrat For
Imagine for a second if President Obama’s or another prominent Democrat’s ex-wife came out and said the reason they divorced was because he wanted to have an “open marriage” and she couldn’t agree to that. Imagine the reaction from the right, especially ol’ Rush Limbaugh (who’s on his fourth marriage). They would chew on it in unison for months.
Now take a look at what Limbaugh said about Newt today:
I got a great note from a friend of mine. “So Newt wanted an open marriage. BFD. At least he asked his wife for permission instead of cheating on her. That’s a mark of character, in my book. Newt’s a victim. We all are. Ours is the horniest generation.” [...] That’s from a good friend of mine, “Newt’s slogan ought to, ‘Hell, yes, I wanted it.’” (laughing) I’m sharing with you how some people are reacting to this.
Amazing. And it’s astonishing his listeners don’t seem to notice his blatant hypocrisy and double standards. Lemmings.
You Gotta Love Andy Borowitz
VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) – Evangelist Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today’s broadcast of his 700 Club program by saying that the NASA satellite that plummeted to Earth did so “because God thinks satellites are gay.”
“We have to remember that the heavens are where God lives,” Rev. Robertson said during the broadcast. “If we launch something into outer space that God thinks is gay, He’s going to kick it right back to us.”
Thing is, this sounds exactly like something Robertson would actually say.
Radio Talker Mark Williams’ Plan to Infiltrate and Sabotage SEIU Rallies
UPDATED.
Mark Williams is a wingnut radio talk show host at Fresno, California’s KMJ FM/AM radio station. He has just posted about a plan to infiltrate an SEIU rally in Sacramento on Tuesday:

Here is what I am doing in Sacramento, where they are holding a 5:30 PM event this coming Tuesday: (1) I signed up as an organizer (2) with any luck they will contact me and I will have an “in” (3) in or not I will be there and am asking as many other people as can get there to come with, all of us in SEIU shirts (those who don’t have them we can possibly buy some from vendors likely to be there) (4) we are going to target the many TV cameras and reporters looking for comments from the members there (5) we will approach the cameras to make good pictures… signs under our shirts that say things like “screw the taxpayer!” and “you OWE me!” to be pulled out for the camera (timing is important because the signs will be taken away from us) (6) we will echo those slogans in angry sounding tones to the cameras and the reporters. (7) if I do get the ‘in’ I am going to do my darnedest [sic] to get podium access and take the mic to do that rant from there…with any luck and if I can manage the moments to build up to it, I can probably get a cheer out of the crowd for something extreme.
[...]
Since I have radio shows to host in Fresno tomorrow (KMJ FM and KMJ AM) I am going to try to gin up some support from down there and salt the crowd here with more people.
[...]
Our goal is to make the gathering look as greedy and goonish as we know that it is, ding their credibility with the media and exploit the lazy reporters who just want dramatic shots and outrageous quotes for headlines. Even if it becomes known that we are plants the quotes and pictures will linger as defacto truth.
So the SEIU isn’t bad enough on its own? Williams and his minions feel the need to go to SEIU rallies as agent provocateurs so people will side with them? How much more dishonest and underhanded could this be? Seriously, these are exactly the kinds of tactics used by the likes of Hosni Mubarak and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Disgusting and dangerous. Wonder if this guy is getting, or hoping for, a kick-back from the Koch brothers.
UPDATED: Here’s a screen shot of the “above the fold” homepage of Williams’ site…in case it gets taken down:
Oh geez. Here’s more on Williams. He’s a fave over at CNN. You know, the “liberal media?”
Fox’s Recommended Readling List
Check out Fox’s recommended reading list.
See the full list here.
Don’t you love how they threw in a book or two written by super-duper-mega-liberal-media stars who everyone — everyone! — has heard of like ah, Alan Colmes?
Glenn Beck Puts People’s Lives in Danger But it is Keith Olbermann Who is Silenced
No, we don’t know precisely whether Keith Olbermann was fired but we do know he was a roguey kind of guy whose honesty made the establishment uncomfortable. One had the feeling he was always walking on egg shells, constantly making his bosses nervous and perpetually on the verge of being fired. Well, as of last night, he is off the air.
On the other hand, Glenn Beck threatens people’s lives, he gets book contracts, appearances on the Today Show where they treat him like a kindhearted therapist, and write ups in the New York Times:
On his daily radio and television shows, Glenn Beck has elevated once-obscure conservative thinkers onto best-seller lists. Recently, he has elevated a 78-year-old liberal academic to celebrity of a different sort, in a way that some say is endangering her life.
Frances Fox Piven, a City University of New York professor, has been a primary character in Mr. Beck’s warnings about a progressive take-down of America. Ms. Piven, Mr. Beck says, is responsible for a plan to “intentionally collapse our economic system.”
Her name has become a kind of shorthand for “enemy” on Mr. Beck’s Fox News Channel program, which is watched by more than 2 million people, and on one of his Web sites, The Blaze. This week, Mr. Beck suggested on television that she was an enemy of the Constitution.
Never mind that Ms. Piven’s radical plan to help poor people was published 45 years ago, when Mr. Beck was a toddler. Anonymous visitors to his Web site have called for her death, and some, she said, have contacted her directly via e-mail.
What a great country, heh?
Is it any wonder there is so much hate and anger out there? Hate and anger are rewarded around here.
Hannity and Beck Dropped From Philly Station
Gee. You’d think the “liberal media” would be all over this:
Mediaite has learned Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are being dropped from their Philadelphia radio station, WPHT 1210 (The Big Talker), in January. The station is a CBS affiliate, and Philadelphia is the fourth largest radio market.
To echo the comments I’d get if this post was about two liberal radio shows being canceled: I guess the ten people who listen to Hannity and Beck in that market will have to find something else to do.
NYT: Hate Radio Hosts Say Hate Radio Not Bad for America
Apparenty the New York Times thinks hate radio hosts are credible courses as to whether hate radio hurts America: Talk Show Hosts Reject Blame in Shooting.
Democrats, Donde Esta?
“…who for years refused to stand up to Coulter, Hannity, Rush, etc.,” and still do.
Exactly.
They Want MSNBC to Fire Ed Schultz
The righties are freaking out because Ed Schultz called the GOP “bastards” today and it took him — gasp — all of “a few minutes” to apologize.
Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly and Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh and Neil Boortz (to name but a few) have said far worse (do the Google thing) and they’ve never apologized.
So, yo, righties, you’ve got it pretty freakin’ good if it only took Ed “a few minutes.”
A Car That Runs on Air!
Wow, this is so cool: a car that runs on air:
A company in the UK is developing it (see link above).
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, U.S. coal consumption rose 1.4% last week alone.
When You Have to Lie to Sell Stuff
In 1999 I bought a little 4″ x 4″ blank book (this is the cover — love the colors),
and since then I’ve used it to record quotes I like or that I want to think about.
I was looking through it today (trying to clear my desk (wish me luck) in anticipation of the new year), when I came across this:
March 24, 2006: Retired Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner appearing on DemocracyNow!: “…[W]hen you have to make up stories to sell the thing that you’re trying to defend, you’ve gone down a bad road.”
That one sentence encapsulates the GOP and the Fictional News Channel. And just think, Col. Gardiner said it before the advent of Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, the Glenn Beckistaners and crybabyism.
If they had a good product they wouldn’t have to lie to sell it. But they don’t and they do.
Dr. Laura Quits After Using the Word “Nigger” 11 Times in Five Minutes
Dr. Laura Schlessinger quit her show today, a week after she broadcast a five-minute rant during which she used the word “nigger” 11 times.
11 times?
So the word “nigger” is at the tip of Laura Schlessinger’s tongue? Yep. That happens when you’re a right-wing pundit disguised as an advice show host.
You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught — to Hate and Fear
You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear.
You’ve got to be taught from year to year.
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a different shade.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught, before it’s too late,
Before you are five, or six, or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
Another Big, BIG Benefit of Passing Health Care Reform
