It's the one thing that comforts me about internet genocidal types. They don't have the stones to commit to their worldview, because they need some kind of higher authority (the government, ironically) to endorse it for them.

Cross-posting this from the Terrible Articles thread because Limbaugh is basically reading this entire Wall Street Journal opinion piece for his opening monologue in defense of his golf buddyCHARLES G. KOCH posted:I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.

I'm really interested to see if they are able to get the base on board with the Kochs. Before they were trying to be the puppetmasters from the shadows but now that most liberals figured out their and ALEC's game and outed them they can't really do that anymore. So obviously the current attempt by the right wing is to combo a "poor wittle Koch bros aren't that bad  " message along with the idea that they are for TRUE FREEDOM (of themselves to do whatever they want at the expense of the country). Typically the Republican base eats up whatever poo poo they are served with a spoon and ask for more corn in the next batch so I assume it will work here too and any outrage against them will be mollified when the media has to give equal time to the idea that the Koch brothers are modern day philanthropists while they talk about letting the poor starve.

Did the guy who was just on Rush talking about how great Rush Revere was for his autistic grandson sound like a plant to anyone else? The guy hit every note: How great both the books were, how much he loved Liberty the horse, how great it was for this young kid and then coyly saying "I just have one more question Rush, for these kids with autism and all the other kids when is the video coming out?"

Puerto Rico has approximately 5,000 Muslims out of 3.75 million people, so while anything's possible I'm going to go with "probably not".

Dollard totally WOULD take the first shot. He's the loon that went to Iraq to make a documentary glorifying military excess and openly said he wanted to desensitize kids to violence. Ol' Dead Breitbart himself said he was the kind of people that could cause a revolution.

I did some travel today and the right-wing radio response to the most recent Ft Hood shooting is more mental illness background checks (when the time is  appropriate) and of course more guns.

I haven't had the "pleasure" of regularly listening to Rush for a while, but the last time I did (maybe back in December) there was a group of about three callers that I'm almost certain were plants. They all called in specifically to talk about Rush Revere and they all mentioned how much they loved Liberty the horse. Now, the idea of an adult calling into a radio show to sing the praises of a children's book is utterly bizarre to me to begin with, but the number of times they mentioned the horse by name definitely made it feel like someone was reading from a checklist.

He sure is taking sides in the Obamacare takedown, which seems uncharacteristic for him. The way he presents Palin as some sort of foreign policy expert is just embarassing to watch.

Oh, please. The ACA gag is pretty great. Sure it ignores a lot of context, but there is humorous irony in celebrating people doing something that is essentially mandatory. And he hardly paints Palin as a foreign policy expert. The prediction angle is just a hook into a character piece where he gets to play Putin, and Palin gets to play Palin. The NSA barb is soft and milquetoast that it's not worth getting worked up over.

Local rightwing fuckstain is talking about Fort Hood and PTSD diagnoses and said a lot of soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan come home as "damaged goods" and that another group pushes for a PTSD diagnosis so they get more monthly benefits. Classy piece of poo poo from the party of ARE TROOPS.

To be entirely honest: when it's time for soldiers to separate, they start finding all kinds of poo poo wrong with them in order to get anything from the VA. The physicians that do the examinations and make the documentation represent the interests of the VA though, so it's not like everyone is in it together to pass out the free money; actually getting benefits when you're hosed up is the most painful process I've ever witnessed.

Sometimes I have to touch the poop even more than usual so I check out conservative news media and these caught my eye today. Just in case anyone was confused about the journalistic integrity of Breitbart News, this story points out how Breitbart charged a Texas Tea Party group $7,000, to come and cover their event. quote:On March 15, the group called Patriots Rally for Freedom held a rally in Martindale, Texas. In the lead-up to the event, organizers asked Breitbart News — which recently announced a “Texas bureau” — to cover the gathering. Well there doesn't seem to be any love lost between Tucker Carlson's rag and Breitbart's ghost. Then we had this news which, in my opinion, makes it look like Ben Carson actually believes his own news clippings, that, somehow, he could be less of a joke candidate than Herman Cain. quote:Ben Carson releases principles for Obamacare replacement Yes, states rights ya'll; because during the 200 years before the ACA, they did such a great job with the patchwork insurance puzzle of health care.

I heard people at working talking about how there is NO WAY this guy had PTSD because he never saw combat. I guess driving around Iraq fearing IEDs are going to blow off your legs and dick isn't traumatic at all unless it actually happens.

I worked for the VA for a few years, part of it in claims processing, I'm very aware. And I'm sure there are people who pretend to have PTSD for benefits, but it's already so stigmatized and so difficult to get vets with legit problems to seek treatment (and actually getting it is a whole different problem) that this desk jockey cocksucker doesn't need to inject his wellfare parasite bullshit into an already messy situation. I know veterans who won't even seek benefits because they don't feel like their issues are severe enough to justify it and it's because of assholes like this guy.
