"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

Quote: I'm not a " Republican "
Quote:Rush never did use that word in any context, other than to discuss the issue. Sorry, comparison fail # 2.
Quote:“Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards.”
Quote:So, to the point, I'm guessing that you're as upset ( or indifferent ) at Rahm's remarks as you are with what Cheney said to Sen. Leahy?

Quote: I'm not registered as a Republican, and I TELL YOU I'm not one, and yet you still find that funny. Huh.
Quote: Rush wasn't using the word as an insult, Rahm and Obama were.
Quote: Cheney was the natural comparison...
Quote: What did the Special Olympic kids do to Obama, or those f-ing retards ever do to Rahm, to deserve being belittled ?
Quote:I know, you'll blindly cover for anything this white house does, no matter how ridiculous, how hateful, how arrogant , or how destructive to this country. Good to see some things never change.

Quote:Originally posted by Jongsstraw: Palin has really stepped in it with this one. People do use the word "retarded" and they use the word "retard". They may not be the most eloquent or high brow terms to describe someone they think is dumb or mis-guided, but they've been used by almost everyone. That includes Rush, Beck, and many others. I have said the same in conversations too. When I say it, and I would assume all the others too, I'm not specifically drawing an analogy to mentally-challenged folks. I respect them, and the plight they and their families face every day. I use it as an insult, or description of something or someone I think is just stupid. Can we still say stupid? Sure it's not really appropriate to do any of that, but it's not the worst thing in the world either. Palin is going to eventually have to answer to the hypocricy of going after Emmanuel, while giving others a pass.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:Then there's Beck, who is himself the father of a special needs child. He was speaking on his radio show last month to actress (and, apparently, artist) Mary Lynn Rajskub (of 24 fame) and asked her about paintings she does. When she says she particularly enjoys painting "retarded children and paintings of the insane," laughter can be heard on Beck's end of the line. Then Beck, trying to suppress laughs, starts to ask how much the paintings of the "retarded" children go for. When she asks if there are "people laughing in the background," he replies that, "we're not laughing, we're just imagining that those would be nice. ... Honestly, I've been looking for one of those, but I haven't seen them." Unable to keep from laughing, Beck adds that he has "no idea if you really do this or you're just screwing with people." She's being serious, she insists. You can hear the entire audio at Media Matters.

And I thought Republicans were all up-in-arms over political correctness. Guess it's okay when they say it. Like that's a surprise. As for Rham, if he'd said this publicly, yeah, he should apologize. But this was from a closed-door meeting last year. Chumps are just looking for shit to bitch about. Ahgain, not a surprise. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Huh. You could tell us your were a poodkle4, and we'd still know it was bullshit. Your actions and words make it clear that you are a good, lock-steppin little GOPer.

Quote:From Politico's Ben Smith, June 05, 2009 I didn't get to this in my story on Palin's lower-48 in Seneca Falls, but she hasn't lost her ability to deliver a raw, base-riling stemwinder, and her introduction of Michael Reagan in Anchorage the other night is worth a listen and is currently making the rounds on the right. She opens the introduction praising Reagan's son, a talk radio guy, for his willingness "to screw the political correctness that some would expect him to try to adhere to."

Quote:And that's been bugging me, too - why isn't Sarah defending Rahm's freedom of speech? I thought she was the Tea-Bagging Poster Bimbo; shouldn't she be all about free speech and AGAINST the PC BS, just like Rushbaugh says he is?
