hello internet posted:How is the Benghazi witch hunt going? Last I heard there was a Republican led investigation weeks ago but yet I haven't heard a peep about it since. Benghazi? I think you mean the Bowe Bergdahl Special Treason Committee. Non joke answer: I'm definitely not the most informed on the situation, but I get the distinct impression that the committee exists for the sole purpose of keeping The Base stirred up, and that is currently being handled by actual events actually happening now. Once the news slows down a bit they'll be back to Bengazi, I'd bet. E: poo poo, first post on the page and I've got nothing but speculation. Quick, someone who knows something concrete say something!

The last action I heard on that was Darryl Issa seemingly throwing a temper tantrum by subpoenaing John Kerry for HIS original #Benghazi clownshow, John Kerry accepting, and then Darryl Issa declaring himself the winner by not accepting John Kerry's acceptance of his invite.

That was just after Darryl Issa released a document that basically shows the White House was telling the truth the whole time. Undermining his whole loving witch hunt in the first place.

So creationists swiped a fossilized dinosaur skeleton before any paleontologist could examine it, and put it in their crappy little theme park so they can make phony claims it without the danger of being cross-examined. In this vid they literally say they 'considered reburying it' and that they took it 'so no one could study it.' "Nya nya nya we stole evidence TAKE THAT EVILUTIONISTS." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn1yQSCJ-HU Of course, the fact that it is a fossil means this jackass is standing right in front of visible proof that his lovely worldview is wrong. But that fact will be lost on a lot of the people they try to brainwash with this horse poo poo, sadly. FYI, Michael Peroutika is also a neo-confederate racist, and a major figure in the bigoted extremist Christian reconstructionist movement.

Ah good old Michael Peroutika, he actually went on a radio show on MLK day and claimed that MLK wasn't fighting for civil rights because civil rights are a liberal scam and that he was really fighting for Judeo Christian Values like all other good patriots. EDIT: Here it is http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/peroutka-s-mlk-day-message-martin-luther-king-didn-t-actually-support-civil-rights quote:And it’s ironic that many of those who are kind of the modern, welfare-state proponents, they quote or they harken back to Martin Luther King as if he was some proponent of civil rights, and he was not. He was not.

Gosh, and he also claims that everything wrong with America came from the union's victory over the south in the civil war. Shocking that this blithering bigot would be a historical revisionist, I know.

Creationists love to get their hands on fake fossils or artifacts, claim it shows the Bible is correct, and deny anyone to examine them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPO6h8M6DI4 There's one guy, Javier Cabrera, who claimed that some Aztec cultures rode around on dinosaurs, as they had stone artifacts showing stegasaurus' and such. He bought a poo poo load of these, and they are in his own creationist museum that rubes can go and see. Turns out that the stones were made in the 1970's when the locals heard that idiots were buying their stone artifacts that only had monsters drawn on them.

I know it's nothing new, it's just both hilarious & disturbing to see such blatantly willful ignorance on parade regardless. Also, "thank goodness we didn't let godless heathen paleontologists get their hands on this fossilized skeleton, and our Quiverfull pedophile was there to to save the day."

Pretty much all the major extremist Christian crazies in America come back in their philosophy to hating on non-white people. The roots of the fundamentalist & evangelical movements comes out of civil rights era segregationalism, and the 'morality' of a bunch of brown-hating minority-denigrating ancestors-of-slave-owners stretches back further than that. Hell, the whole point of private schools is to do roundabout segregation - homeschooling as well. You can go on and on about this stuff - the racism of 'American exceptionalism' coming from genocidal manifest destiny, etc.

I have to say, I am very surprised that there has yet to be a single headline on DRUDGE today regarding the h.s. shooting in Oregon. But there's plenty of info about ILLEGALS eating burritos that are making them sick.

That's weird, that guy seems to realize that evolution is correct. Otherwise why would he be trying to hide evidence? How much of the entire right is just people knowing that they are wrong but holding out anyway to punish others and destroy society?

Oh for fucks sake. ANOTHER shooting? So when are the lies of the firearms industry going to be called to account the way the tobacco industry was? "A good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun" is as much a lie as "lucky-strike cigarettes recommended by 4 out of 5 doctors."

In all honesty, it would not be surprising if the shooter themself was unaware such a vest wasn't armor. People who shoot up places often are barely aware of what they're even doing with their weapons.

And certainly not because his listeners love to hear him say the words "fag" and "friend of the family" while turning the progressives' own "tolerance" and "book learning" against them. I'm of course looking forward to smug, malevolent white men leering out "fag the new friend of the family" then saying "what? It's terrible to call people FAG. It's the new friend of the family."

Not to mention that Beck is the kind of guy who pines for the old days of television when there were decency standards and the liberals just didn't get away with saying what ever they want on TV. He is literally mad because people don't like if he says words that are belittling to other people specifically.
