So, Beck equates people who have facts and science to back their argument up with people who refute facts that Obama was born in America. At least you know that Birthers are kooks, as are Truthers.

Glynnis, you are right. We do have a habit of hearing what we want to…at least a lot of conservatives do. How else would it explain why Rush Limbaugh calls NOAA and people at NASA corrupt? Maybe because their facts refute his paranoia?

By the way, I hear World Net Daily is giving away tin foil hats now. Don’t want the government sucking their brains out, assuming World Net Daily-ers have any.

Glen(n) keeps getting tripped up by … Glen(n). Pesky recordings!

If we shipped this man off to Canada, the rest of us wouldn’t have to keep threatening to move there:

(satire)

Beck’s 15 minutes is down to around 12

Did you know that if we capitalized the “s”, added an “r” in front of the “t” and took out the “i”, the word “satire” would become “Sartre”?

They said what they meant and meant what they said

It’s kind of funny that in a diatribe against modern environmentalism, Beck invokes Dr. Seuss.

The Met announces they’re scrapping all their current temperature data to recollect readings.

Gee, I don’t know, but weren’t we on the brink of passing some global climate change treaty based on this data just last September.

The house of cards crumbles, but Glenn Beck is the one harping on conspiracy?

The science is turning out to be a selective form of exclusion. If you agree you’re data is in. If you dissent your data is out. IPCC resigns. Phil Jones steps aside. Michael Mann is suspended. Carbon market fraud exposed.

Still struggling with these facts? How much more do you want?

Even if Beck were right, who can take him seriously, what with the red clown nose and squirting lapel daisy!

The world is cooling… send us your money or we will all die in a frozen world.
Oh, wait….
The world is getting too hot … send us your money or we will all die on a burning planet.
Oh, crap… that didn’t hold up either….
Climate Change! There, that’s ambiguous enough that no one will ever be able to argue it, now send us your money or else.
What’s that you say? The science that everyone has been touting for years as indisputable is full of cover-ups and bad math and fake stories and some is based on a magazine article that one of the scientist read?
Damn…
Look, just send us your money and don’t ask questions.

Bulls eye, Zakk!

Glen ‘Eugene McCarthy’ Beck, purveyor of meaningless nonsense and seditious propaganda to morons everywhere.

Research indicates conservatives are natural born pants-pissers and candidates for Pampers coutoure

Researchers have found, for example, that some humans are particularly alert to threats, particularly primed to feel vulnerable and perceive danger. Those people are more likely to be conservatives.

One experiment used electrodes to measure the startle blink reflex, the way we flinch and blink when startled by a possible danger. A flash of noise was unexpectedly broadcast into the research subjects’ earphones, and the response was measured.

The researchers, led by Kevin B. Smith of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, found that those who had a stronger blink reflex at the noise were more likely to take such conservative positions as favoring gun rights, supporting warrantless searches, and opposing foreign aid.

That makes intuitive sense: If you are more acutely sensitive to risks and more fearful of attack, you also may be more aggressive in arming yourself and more wary of foreigners.

Scholars also measured changes in the electrical conductance of research subjects’ skin, after they were shown images meant to trigger disgust — like a person eating a mouthful of worms. Our bodies have evolved so that when we’re upset, glands secrete moisture to cool us down, and that increases conductance.

Liberals released only slightly more moisture in reaction to disgusting images than to photos of fruit. But conservatives’ glands went into overdrive.

…LOL….BOO!

Thanks for that link. I always tell my rightist friends, when they’re not looking under their beds for Kommunists or running down the street in abject fear because the saw a man in a turban at 7-11, that I’m not predisposed to be constantly standing in a puddle of my own urine. It looks as if I am onto something.

Do you think this explains why so many prominent Republicans and rightists were draft dodgers and deride the service of heroes like Kerry, Cleland and Duckworth? Even more to the point, the poster with the Olbermann pin-up, known to some a Olby S****, but to me, affectionately, as Johnny-Jeff or just Jeff, has been known to cross a busy street simply to avoid walking too near a Recruitment Office.

@Homie
Researchers have found, for example, that some humans are particularly alert to threats, particularly primed to feel vulnerable and perceive danger. Those people are more likely to be conservatives.

Kind of ironic that it is the leftists like Gore, ect. who are running around with the Chicken Little palaver telling us “We’re all gonna Die!”

homie, all standard IQ tests show blacks score lower than any other race. They even do worse than native Americans, who continue to be the most disadvantaged people in the country. Department of Justice stats show that black crime rates per capita are significantly higher than for those of any other race. No, this isn’t a racist rant. Just saying that if you want to talk stats and tests, all these figures can also be found easily. DOJ stats are an easy look up, and several sources such as the Bell Curve and other books deal with IQ scores. If you’re so big on all this kind of thing, why single out conservatives? Come on. Throw everything into the mix.

RRK – I think you forgot to mention other great Dem Heros of the military; Clinton, Reid, Biden, Obama. Let’s not forget that Kerry shot himself just enough times to get a purple heart then get the hell out of Vietnam. Cleland blew himself up with a gernade (tragic none-the-less). Clinton, draft dodger, Reid, Biden and Obama – no experience at all. Just remember, both sides of the aisle have plenty of people who didn’t serve.

“No, this isn’t a racist rant” REally? Can you describe what a racist rant would look like, Adolph?

“We’re all gonna Die” Do not recall a Democrat ever making any such statement in my lifetime but, of course, you must have a link or something.

Your point, Zakk? The Republicans hold themselves out as the great defenders of this country, the men and manly women strong on defense, ready to serve, supporters of our military, when they so often are not.

how are they not supporting the military? Because they are not out there besmirching them every chance they get? I’m going to put aside my better judgement here for a second and assume you are not as daft as you let on. I was pointing out that your post about how Republicans are draft dodgers and so on, was disingenuous. Both sides have plenty of people on them who talk about the military but have never served.

The point that I always hear from the Republicans is to support the troops, I don’t know that I ever hear them talking about joining, just to support those who have joined. I know this probably irritates the hell out of you on the left, you know supporting our military.

“Let’s not forget that Kerry shot himself just enough times to get a purple heart then get the hell out of Vietnam”

Damn, those pesky facts have a liberal bias!

Zakk-The above is for your review and consumption.

WWII is even better. Let me know if you like to be further humiliated.

Problem with you facts, like most lib facts – those are wrong. At just a glance Carter was NOT in Vietnam, he was in Korea. But hey! It’s just facts, no need to let them get in the way of your cut and paste knowledge.

More to my point earlier, just because I was never a dog does not mean that I can’t fight for animal rights? Or does it? In that case, when was the last time Al Gore or any of the other Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change folks were ever a planet? I mean, by YOUR logic, if you were never one of them you have no right to fight for their rights or claim your self a champion of their cause.

Soon to be former Sen. and failed Pres. candidate John McCain-served but totaled 3 multi-million dollar jets , plus the one he got his incompetent ass shot down in.

It’s going to take more than a Daily KOS talking point memo to humiliate me, especially when it has errors on it.

Homie, why do you hate the military?

Zakk: Oh, only Korea. Nobody died there. LOL

“…just because I was never a dog does not mean that I can’t fight for animal rights? Or does it? ”

No, it just means you didn’t. coulda shoulda woulda don’t mean “did”.

Where did I say, ‘no one died there’? More of those liberal facts. I was just pointing out my at a glance fact check. Of course I can’t expect much from a copy and paste from Sodahead.

“No, it just means you didn’t. coulda shoulda woulda don’t mean “did”.” – can I assume by your nonsenseical remark that you have nothing to say? I’m going to take that as a yes.

None of these cowardly war cheerleaders and fascists served neither:

George Will
Chris Matthews
Bill O’Reilly
Paul Gigot
Bill Bennett
Pat Buchanan
Rush Limbaugh (painful and smelly caviting ass wound)

Wow, I made one error. Any more? Didn’t think so. Point is, he served honorably in combat
ie: didn’t run away and hide like Cheney and Bush

James Earle (Jimmy) Carter, Jr., who in 1976 became the fifth consecutive President with prior Navy service, was born in Plains, Georgia on 1 October 1924, to Lillian Gordy and James Earle Carter. Carter grew up in a rural atmosphere and attended public schools. Graduating from Plains High School in 1941, he attended Georgia Southwestern College in Americus, Georgia. After a year there, Carter transferred to Georgia Institute of Technology to study mathematics for a year in order to qualify for the U.S. Naval Academy. In 1943, Carter received an appointment to the academy and became a member of the Class of 1947. After completing the accelerated wartime program, he graduated on 5 June 1946 with distinction and obtained his commission as ensign.

After he graduated, Carter was stationed at Norfolk and assigned to USS Wyoming (E-AG 17), an older battleship that had been converted into a floating laboratory for testing new electronics and gunnery equipment. On Wyoming, Carter served as radar officer and CIC officer. Detached when Wyoming was decommissioned on 23 July 1947, he was assigned that day to another similarly used battleship, USS Mississippi (E-AG 128) as Training and Education Officer. After completing two years of surface ship duty, Carter chose to apply for submarine duty. Accepted, he began the six-month course at the U.S. Navy Submarine School, Submarine Base, New London, Connecticut from 14 June to 17 December 1948.

Upon completion of the course, Carter was assigned to USS Pomfret (SS 391) based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii where he reported on board on 29 December. Pomfret left on a simulated war patrol to the western Pacific and the Chinese coast on 4 January 1949. On board, Carter qualified in a submarine on 4 February, and served as Communications Officer, Sonar Officer, Electronics Officer, Gunnery Officer and Supply Officer. On 9 March, he served as the approach officer for a simulated torpedo firing at target ships, and scored a “hit.” The submarine returned to Pearl Harbor on 25 March. Soon after Carter’s promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade on 5 June 1949, Pomfret was sent in July to San Diego where the submarine operated along the California coast.

Detached from Pomfret on 1 February 1951, Carter was assigned as Engineering Officer for the precommissioning detail for USS K-1 (SSK 1). K-1, the first postwar submarine built, was under construction by Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics Corporation, Groton, Connecticut. After K-1′s commissioning on 10 November 1951, Carter served as Executive Officer, Engineering Officer, and Electronics Repair Officer. During this tour he also qualified for command of a submarine.

When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed by Rickover. On 1 June 1952, Carter was promoted to Lieutenant. Selected by Rickover, Carter was detached on 16 October 1952 from K-1 for duty with the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Division of Reactor Development in Schenectady, New York. From 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, DC to assist “in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels.”

From 1 March to 8 October, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for the nuclear power plant to be placed in USS Seawolf (SSN 575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. He assisted in setting up training for the enlisted men who would serve on Seawolf. During this time his father became very sick and died in July 1953. After his father’s death in 1953, Carter resigned from the Navy to return to Georgia to manage the family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 at Headquarters, Third Naval District in New York City. On 7 December 1961, he transferred to the retired reserve with the rank of Lieutenant at his own request.

Whereas—

An examination of the Bush military files within the context of US Statutory Law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures of that era lead to a single conclusion: George W. Bush was considered a deserter by the United States Air Force.

After Bush quit TXANG, he still had nine months of his six-year military commitment left to serve. As a result, Bush became a member of the Air Force Reserves and was transferred to the authority of the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) in Denver, Colorado. Because this was supposed to be a temporary assignment, ARPC had to review Bush’s records to determine where he should ultimately be assigned. That examination would have led to three conclusions: That Bush had “failed to satisfactorily participate” as defined by United States law and Air Force policy, that TXANG could not account for Bush’s actions for an entire year, and that Bush’s medical records were not up to date. Regardless of what actions ARPC contemplated when reviewing Bush’s records, all options required that Bush be certified as physically fit to serve, or as unfit to serve. ARPC thus had to order Bush to get a physical examination, for which Bush did not show up. ARPC then designated Bush as AWOL and a “non-locatee” (i.e. a deserter) who had failed to satisfactorily participate in TXANG, and certified him for immediate induction through his local draft board. Once the Houston draft board got wind of the situation, strings were pulled; and documents were generated which directly contradict Air Force policy, and which were inconsistent with the rest of the records released by the White House.

Cheney–deferment #1 of 5

“On Oct. 6, 1965, the Selective Service lifted its ban against drafting married men who had no children. Nine months and two days later, Mr. Cheney’s first daughter, Elizabeth, was born.”

It is apparent from the piece that Richard Cheney did everything humanly possible — short of fleeing to Canada — to avoid military conscription: He applied for and recieved 5 student deferments, a number described as “incredible” by professor David Curry of the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Curry has written extensively about the draft, including a 1985 book, “Sunshine Patriots: Punishment and the Vietnam Offender.” The Times quotes Mr. Curry as observing: “That’s a lot of times for the draft board to say O.K.”

Cowards all

They don’t call them chickenhawks for nothing…..

Hey homie. You were the one wanting to talk stats. If you want to play that game, let me know. Be glad to play.

Oh, but only Republicans ‘support the troops’

Like the ones who sent them to die in wars that are confirmed to have been founded in fraud?
Or perhaps you refer to the Republican that outed a covert CIA agent from the WMD program during a time of war that was based on a false premise of the presence of, wait for it, concealed WMDs?

Clear that up for me, please.

Homie wanted to play stats earlier. Here’s some you’ll never see him give out.

Washington D.C. has a population of 48,856 black men in the age range between 18-35. 24,377 or nearly fifty percent are incarcerated, on parole or probation, awaiting trial or being sought on an arrest warrant on any given day. The Washington Post

Between 1930 and 1990, the proportion of blacks living in poverty fell from more than 90% to about 30%. During the same period, black prisoners increased from 25% of total prison population to today’s more than 50%. The black crime rate has continued to rise, with blacks being 12% of the population while accounting for 62% of the arrests for robbery, 57% of the murders and 50% for assaults and rape. Source: The article ‘A Shocking Look at Blacks and Crime’. U.S. News and World Report

More of that copy and paste knowledge. Very impressive. Not an original thought in there.

So under your argument, Obama should NOT have sent more troops into Afghanistan. I mean, he didn’t serve and he sent more troops into harms way. Right? So what your saying is Obama is a ‘coward or chicken-hawk’ your words not mine.

Homie, did you go to the Roxsteady school of posting? One after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another, after another…. seriously? And not saying anything related to the posts before it.

Your words: ** I think you forgot to mention other great Dem Heros of the military; Clinton, Reid, Biden, Obama. Let’s not forget that Kerry shot himself just enough times to get a purple heart then get the hell out of Vietnam. Cleland blew himself up with a gernade (tragic none-the-less). Clinton, draft dodger, Reid, Biden and Obama – no experience at all…..

My response is a direct answer to your screed. Shall I draw you a diagram?

Patrick Sheehan, writing for the Sidney, Australia Morning Herald in 1995 analyzed FBI uniform crime reports for the thirty years since the civil rights movement and found 170 million crimes against persons or property of white America. “The American media do not want to report on this ‘dirty war’. When all crime figures are calculated, black Americans have committed at least 170 million crimes against white Americans in the past thirty years. For writing this, I would be deemed a racist by the American media. Their media continue to exhibit a paternalistic double standard.”

Your response was a copy and paste from another web site. Hardly qualifies as a direct response. We are looking for original thought, it’s ok to reference information, but don’t try to pass it off as your own.

“ie: didn’t run away and hide like Cheney and Bush” funny how you left Clinton out of your diatribe. Must not have been in the original post from whatever site you stole your comments from. You really should think about adding footnotes.

Although D.C. schools are second highest in spending per pupil in the entire nation, their students have some of the lowest test scores. Forty-four percent fail to graduate from high school, and of that number, 80% leave before the 10th grade. Large salaries, dubbed ‘combat pay’, are used to lure teachers into the system. However, D.C. also has the highest per capita rates of murder, rape, drug addiction, illegitimacy, and AIDS. Sources are the Orange County Register and the Wall Street Journal in the article ‘Money isn’t the answer for everything.’

Wanna play some more, homie?

Looks like Homie is the clear winner by a knock-out.

So… climate change is the new Vietnam?

Royal, looks like homie didn’t respond.
