Anti-union douchebag-ette, Dana Loesche is suing her parent company for poor working conditions:quote:Dana Loesch, who claims to be the “Editor-in-Chief of Big Journalism” (this explains a lot), is suing the parent company of Breitbart.com. Apparently she was unaware that working for a crazy conservative media outlet would naturally involve “indentured servitude in limbo.” Hey, Dana, where you been, girl? http://www.politicususa.com/anti-union-tea-party-poster-girl-dana-loesch-sues-breitbart-llc-hostile-working-conditions.html Utterly delicious.

As Cenk said, the amount of projection in that clip (liberals rely on internet rumors and inciting hate) was stunning. Anyway, has this been posted? Dick Armey basically reveals what most on the left already knew - the conservative movement is one big money making scam: http://www.salon.com/2013/01/07/the_conservative_movement_is_still_an_elaborate_moneymaking_venture/ I have to say, if nothing else, bilking stupid, old racist White people out of their money seems like a lucrative venture. My hours have been cut to almost nothing at my current job (thanks a lot, ObaMAO!), and I could use a little extra change... But then again, I don't know how I could live with myself. :/

Does anyone know whether Ambassador Stevens was a Democrat or Republican? One of the dumbest things about this Benghazi farce is the constant implication that the Republicans in congress (and the media) cared more about an Obama administration official than Obama (or Hillary) himself. I mean, sure you can have members of the other party in your administration but still.

Goatman Sacks posted:So, I'm not too well versed on the whole "block grant" concept; I guess the argument is, send us a check with no strings attached and we can make a program that fits the needs of our state? But the counterargument is, you do that and conservative states are going to take that money, defund medicaid, and use it to subsidize tax cuts? Sounds about right. I understand the right wing argument on why the states (at least conservative ones) would like that, but how does block granting save the federal government money?

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:The best part is that even if Laffer is right (he is not), tax cuts would only increase revenue in certain constrained situations by his own theory's lights, and by his own theory's lights, raising taxes will sometimes raise revenues. And even if it's right, the shape of the Laffer curve is unknown, so we don't know where the 'sweet spot' would be, which means that cutting taxes because Laffer said so is just plain-old stupid ideology that's not backed even by their own voodoo economics! Beat me to it. Furthermore, what I never understood about this trickle down economics stuff is how giving a "job creator" a tax cut would give them any incentive to hire people? Nobody hires someone because they got some extra change laying around, they hire people if they need something to be done.

Conservative "humor": https://twitter.com/gatewaypundit/status/312043872970764288 Dana Loesche approves: https://twitter.com/DLoesch/status/312044178760687616 Amused to Death posted:This is actually true. Hoover never slashed spending. He did try many very small scale programs to try to alievate the depression, but he was overly convinced of charity. He expanded some programs, started some new ones(Federal Home Loan Act) but it was in no way big government, as it should've been. I mean one of those programs has his name on it(Hoover dam). FDR then put the scale of those programs into overdrive, and boom, unemployment begins to plummet. The idea Hoover took a completely hands off approach to the economy when the depression began is wrong, even if it often seems that way when compared to FDR, and the idea Hoover instituted big government is hilariously wrong since it's just an attempt to rewrite history and make FDR and everything that solved the depression look bad so we can give the SS trust fund to Wall St. Okay, so he didn't cut spending, but didn't increase spending nearly enough to fix the economy? Basically he was a weaksauce Keynesian, then?

I never watched Dennis Miller's show in the 90s or whenever it was, but I saw a clip on the youtubes with him and a really young (and really ugly) Bill Maher, and Miller actually seemed pretty cool. Definitely noticeably different from the unbearable shithead he appears whenever he's on Bill O'Reilly's show.

So there's this meme that the righties have been saying for a while now that Bill O'Reilly repeated yesterday. When it's pointed out that we had much higher tax rates in the past than we do now, the argument goes that those rates don't count because no one was paying those high rates to begin with because of various loopholes and deductions. My question is, if no one was paying the top rates due to all the deductions and such, then...what was the point of constantly lowering the rates throughout the decades?

kik2dagroin posted:Wow, Rush just went on a long tirade about people collecting disability benefits. Why aren't these people included in the unemployment statistics? Why can't they provide for themselves? His evidence was 25% of people in a single county in Bumfuck, AL were on disability. One of my favorite instances with Rush throughout the past year was also right after the election, where he tried to explain to his listeners why he was wrong with his prediction that Romney would crush Obama in a landslide. His excuse? That Rush knew all along that Obama was gonna win but he didn't want to disappoint his audience. In other words, he just simply lied to them. This was his DEFENSE!
