Yes, comes from what was back then the GBS Webcomic thread. The original is here. The edit was inspired by a goon commenting that they once saw Ultimate Warrior ranting "fags and muslims out of America" for a half hour, or something like that. So this edit naturally had to happen.

Bonus (unrelated) word salad about the Clintons:

Terry Wise posted:

"Let Bill be Bill!" Remember that? So we prepare ourselves for Hillary being Hillary, right? The Clintons are like 2 heads on one snake. If the country is ready for the asp that is "Clinton," then prepare for another administration of even greater deception and autonomy than our present president... hard as that might be to believe. Both Clintons back in the white house will turbocharge the god complex we deal with now, and I know, I know, it's likely to happen because we can't take free stuff from those who will vote to keep it and those who are convinced they're helping them despite dependence on it and those who wish to control them with it.

Right before she took over as Secretary of State, Clinton set up a personal email account and used that exclusively in order to circumvent public disclosure requirements for her official email.

This was not illegal, but it was in direct violation of an Obama order that all executive branch positions use official email for all official purposes.

He's pretending the DOJ's "we can't meet the high standard to prosecute Darren Wilson for civil rights violations" report, which among other things said the physical evidence indicates Micheal Brown may not have had his hands up at all, eclipses the much longer, and damning, general report on Fergeson policing and court system. Presumably, this is because he's a loving racist hack.

There is a law that says the EPA can use data from patent pending studies and leave them unpublished to avoid disturbing the patent process.

Right wingers believe that global warning studies are based on this "secret data" so if they repeal the law it will prove without a shadow of a doubt that climate change is a liberal hoax.

This is what these people actually believe.

This is about a bill being pushed by the Republicans to require that all data used by the EPA be public. They're trying to paint this as being about transparency and accountability, but in reality it's about kneecapping environmental regulations by excluding all human data that has confidentiality requirements.

This isn't just putting Obama under a Mission Accomplished banner, Hillary was pursuing a "reset" with Russia. When Medvedev was President, we were becoming closer and closer allies. Hillary even posed with a literal reset button:



Of course, since Putin became President again all progress has been utterly undone, which makes her look extra foolish in their eyes for ever trusting the drat ruskies. "She tried to make peace with a nuclear power? What a waste of time. :smuggo:"

They're trying to paint this as being about transparency and accountability, but in reality it's about kneecapping environmental regulations by excluding all human data that has confidentiality requirements.

quote:

Democrats, science groups, and public-interest groups have numerous concerns about both bills. The secret science bill, for example, would apparently bar EPA from using public health studies based on confidential patient information, wrote the American Statistical Association’s president, David Morganstein, in a 25 February letter to lawmakers. That would force the agency into “a choice … between maintaining data confidentiality and issuing needed regulations,” he wrote. Also, efforts to deidentify sensitive data before release—by stripping names and other information—aren’t fail-safe, Morganstein wrote.

But backers of the bill said those problems could be resolved. Study participants could sign waivers acknowledging that the raw data could become public, said Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R–CA). People concerned about their privacy could also decline to participate, he suggested. “Their specific participation isn’t necessary to have a successful research project,” he said at the committee meeting.
"Let's exclude all the sick people who don't want their illness public from this study on if the envirnoment is making people sick."
