Oh come on, if we allow quotes from Westboro Baptist Church, we'd never even get to any of the other stupid shit that conservatives say.

Dr. Keith "Being a Pundit for the Wingnut Screamosphere Beats the Shit out of Practicing Medicine for a Living" Ablow (:snicker:), who is perhaps best known for being part of this breathtakingly gay book cover, is saying stuff! Seems that David Brock of Media Matters fame is dangerous because he was adopted and thus thirsts for unlimited power:

Quote:
This is an adopted boy who needs to plumb the depths of his psyche. He was adopted. Many adopted children are tremendously well-adjusted, but for some reason, this man feels he’s unloved and unloveable, shunted to the side, and that’s the antidote he feels: unlimited power.
lol at the Fox News banner "Dr. Ablow Diagnoses MM Founder David Brock"

I didn't think mental health professionals were supposed to make diagnoses absent a provider-patient relationship and an actual examination, but hey, if Phil the Fatass Fraud McGraw can do it, why not Dr. Ablow (:snicker:)?

Maybe it's time to do away with that particular prohibition anyway. After all, Dr. Bill Frist was able to diagnose Terri Schiavo based on nothing but videotape, and Dr. RONPAUL can tell an honest rape from a dishonest one sight unseen!

Anyhoo, we all need to start building fortified underground bunkers in anticipation of quest for unlimited power soon to be launched by LadyShea's young 'un. Tarry at your own risk, bitches!

He never said anything about sight unseen, and you know it. When elected, Dr. President RONPAUL will be personally overseeing all rapes in order to establish their veracity and to determine whether the recipient of a given rapin' are eligible to receive a Schroedinger's abortion because abortion is murder, but it is OK to do an abortion or other murder if you just kind of do it and don't know if you're going to hit anyone and stuff. Like how it is legal to go around shooting guns through doors, because you don't know if anybody is standing there or not. And, I will point out that he said all of these things while actively suffering from a stroke. That's what a brave man he is.

TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT RONPAUL and all the other nice doctors who are going around giving out free doctoring to people.

WTF this guy is talking about I don't even.

But, they better understand that if abortion is made illegal, there may be thousands of adopted people menacing us in just a generation!



That being said, adoption can totally fuck people up, because it kinda sucks at its base and people are all dumb and don't try to address that "Yeah, that sucks" part honestly.

I can't pick the stupidest component of this story. It might be Joe Samuel the Plumber's Idiot's comments about "da queers." Or maybe the "gotcha" journalism accusation. But the most likely candidate for stupidest component appears be the fact that Joe Samuel the Plumber Idiot actually won a Republican congressional primary. Looks like God really does want him to run for office!

He'll be taking on my former rep, the legendary Marcy Kaptur. Joe's Sam's showing in the general election will go a long way toward revealing just how fucked up things truly are in Ohio.

Breitbart, Savage, Beck, now Rush? The great minds and muses of the Libertard movement are going the way of the TTL logic chip.

During Rush's Bad Week, He Loses Advertisers,... | Gather

Quote:
Then there's the fact that at least 46 advertisers have dropped Rush Limbaugh like he was a hot, fat, drug-abusing rock. Yesterday (March 7), there were reports that on New York radio, during many commercial breaks on Rush's three-hour hate fest, public service announcements aired instead of paid commercials on a radio program that is ordinarily sold out months in advance. This doesn't mean Limbaugh has become a public-spirited citizen giving away free, valuable air time. It means the radio station did not have paying advertisers to plug into these vacant spots generated during breaks on a syndicated radio show.

Today, reports indicate that there were not even enough PSA's to fill the space and that dead air was heard during Limbaugh's commercial breaks.

More evidence of Rush's bad week?

On today's (March 8) show, he was owned by a Washington, DC, comedy writer.

El Rushbo went on at length about a Washington Post "reporter" named Alexandra Petri. Rush was MAD at Ms. Petri and her "reporting." She said things that Rush said just were not true, and included her opinion in her story. He even called her opinion "Bee-Eye-Itchy!" Because she's a woman with an opinion and Rush doesn't much care for that sort of thing is why.

Rush would have every right to be angry about a Washington Post reporter who injected her opinion, "bee-eye-itchy" or otherwise, into a news story.
Read the rest for the punch line.

PS - Sorry if this was previously poasted.

It's still working for me. You should probably clear your cookies.

That last video was also really good. I knew what he'd said and all, but had no idea how hard he drove that "joke" into the ground. Damn. That was not a slip of the tongue, and he kept showing his ass with that Viagra-birth control pill conflation for days and days. Doesn't he know a single person who could clarify that for him at some point during that time?

Damn.

Uh, so here is a new breaking story. You know that slut Sandra Fluke? Well, her boyfriend is one of them Jews.

ENOUGH SAID, AMIRITE?

Honestly, sometimes I do think that Breitbart style journalism is entirely tone-based. You can present the most mundane and insignificant information, and as long as you adopt the right tone of urgency, and tell people this is a big deal, they'll respond to the tone and act like it's some huge deal, whether they know what you're talking about or not.

So it works pretty much like it does with dogs. Tell them they're getting their booster shots in the right tone of voice and they'll be all like YEAH HEY I AM PRETTY HAPPY ABOUT WHATEVER YOU JUST TOLD ME!

It's totally journalism for dogs, if dogs were assholes.

Ain't that the truth. But the tone is AAAAHHH, BE AFRAID! or LOOK AT DUMB LIBERALS/MINORITIES! or YAY FOR WHITE POWER! even though the underlying facts are often pretty mundane (if there are any). It is really hard to get someone to look at the facts once they have that tone set in their head, too. If you have enough time to approach it a round about way, maybe you can get there by surprise.

Dismantle and Discredit the FBI? I would think that they think the FBI is in the thrall of the Commies. Or was Ruby Ridge full of Commies?

Also, at least they realize they were Too Late to stop Obama from getting Red China into the UN.

My brain is rotting a little bit.

Demand it of whom, exactly? The government that they say on the same page is already overrun and infiltrated at all levels by the commies? I'm sure they'll put it as their TOP priority...

ABL can write well on a lot of topics, but her defense of Obama has been pretty over the top on a number of occasions. Her discussions of the War on Women are usually great reads.

Interestingly, the high rates of abortions on the poor correlate with a lowering of the crime rate.

Interestingly the aging of the baby boomer population correlates with the lowering of the crime rate.

After abortion was legalized, the availability of abortions differed dramatically across states. In some states like North Dakota and in parts of the deep South, it was virtually impossible to get an abortion even after Roe v. Wade. If one compares states that had high abortion rates in the mid 1970s to states that had low abortion rates in the mid 1970s, you see the following patterns with crime. For the period from 1973-1988, the two sets of states (high abortion states and low abortion states) have nearly identical crime patterns. Note, that this is a period before the generations exposed to legalized abortion are old enough to do much crime. So this is exactly what the Donohue-Levitt theory predicts. But from the period 1985-1997, when the post Roe cohort is reaching peak crime ages, the high abortion states see a decline in crime of 30% relative to the low abortion states.
