I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
frist?
first?
Hey, I did it!
What do I win?
Given the robotic, formulaic nature of these rants composed of nothing but stock phrases (doubleplusgood duckspeak!), it's possibly that maybe it *isn't* plagiarism.
Where does the Birkenstock bullshit come from? I don't even know what those are.
They're probably both just cut-n-pasting from some RNC talking points bulletin.
I'd like to break with tradition and say: Fuck Gibbons!
-
What do I win?
My undying displeasure?
Is this the putative freedom Gibbons and his ilk are talking about?
plagerism is easier than ever (copy-paste). Why not plagerize something that, oh...makes sense?
They no longer even pretend to pretend to pretend, do they?
Unfreakingbelievable. I expect Ramesh Ponnuru to do an in-depth investigation immediately.
I think I heard Jeff Gannon ask the same question to Bush.
I'd like to break with tradition and say: Fuck Gibbons!
Better yet...May Gibbons fuck Bush (look - over there - its a Man Date!!!)
So not only is this guy a fascist goon, he can't even make up his own drivel.
Nice touch "Rosie O'Donnell." Fags and all.
No suprise here. Checked the model numbers on Gibbons & Chapman, both are Series s4s* wingerbots.
* Stupid for sure.
"OOK OOK!"
Ook ook?
"OOK OOK!"
"OOOOOOK OOOOOOOK?"
OOOOOOOOK OOOOOOOK!
(Gibbons monkey echo chamber)
I liked the "Land of Make Beleive" better when Mr. Rogers was in charge of it.
They no longer even pretend to pretend to pretend, do they?
Does that make it like a double negative? Are they reality based now?
equipped with the same meme chip.
Sorry-King Friday was in charge; Mr. Rogers was an honored guest.
Tho, I really think Lady Elaine ran the joint from behind the trolly track, ya know.
Someone needs to kick this bastard right in the teeth for mouthing off like that! I just got an email spouting some of that same garbage yesterday.
I'm sure this will be given the same attention by the SCLM as would a Democratic speech accusing the maladministration of being "..composed of bloodthirsty warmongers who disregard world opinion in their insane quest for world empire.."
No?
I posted this last night . . . who'd have thought this asshole couldn't even come up with new material?
Gibbons Monkey forgot to mention Arnold Swartzeneger, Ronald Reagan, and Dennis Miller.
OT: here's Porter Goss, yesterday at the Reagan Library:
"My job is winning the war on terror. I've got trouble with 'winning.' I've got trouble with 'war.' I've got trouble with 'terror.' We have to be very careful with how we use our words."
i expect the wingnuts will whip themselves into stiff peaks now that Goss has revealed himself to be squishier than Kerry on the whole tWoT thing.
The rethugs are unpatriotic, braindead zombies who wouldn't know an original thought if one slapped them upside of the head.
Divisive, evil bastards.
And here's the good congressman suffering from rope burn.
I know the point was the plagiarism, but I'm struck by this line from the speech:
"Tonight, I say we should support the President of the United States and the U.S. military and tell the liberal, tree hugging, hippy, Birkenstock wearing, tie-dyed liberals to go make their movies and music and whine somewhere else.
"After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn’t be allowed the freedom of speech they’re being given here today - - ironically, they would be put to death at the hands of Sadam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden."
This is kind of circular reasoning I believe: Since in Iraq you wouldn't have been able to say what you said, you should now shut up.
That's freaking incredible!
I recall seeing a tv show in the 70's called "The Chimp and the Gibbons Monkey". It was funny but so Hollywood elitist.
Ha ha ha! That's rich.
It's a great catch, too, reader l
If a Democrat gave a speech saying that all the right wing nuts should get out of the country and go get themselves killed, what would the SCLM do? What would Melhman do?
Meanwhile, the asshole and his fellow Rethugs rake in the cash from companies and top execs at the corporations that actually make the movies/TV shows. What a sweet deal that is.
Now, now, watertiger. What did that poor monkey ever do to you? 
Greets, all. How's the day going?
Mine's pretty good, except for the frickin' phone call I just got from the Michigan Democratic Party... identified by my Caller ID as a firm in Minnesota. Can't even be bothered to employ people in our own state -- why should I listen to them or give them one dime? Anyway, I just ranted about it. [/blogwhoring]
Did you notice Beth Chapman's speech is copyrighted?
What would Melhman do?
WWMD?
He forgot to mention the grapefruits who have brought their branch of terrorism into the once proud and patriotic orchards of this beautiful nation. How could he leave out the threat to our citus groves?
Did any of you catch Dan Patrick of KSEV Houston, on Ron Reagan's new MSNBC show this morning? My television screen is lucky it is still in one piece. Republicans like him are EVIL. They are from another planet. I am so sick and tired of being told we are out of touch with the country. We are anti-God, anti family, anti everything. The last time I looked, it is split down the middle pretty evenly. If the other half of the country is anything like Dan Patrick, Fuck all of them!
Isn't this what killed Biden's hopes for the presidency? But it's probably OKIYAR, huh?
Is someone calling Chapman to alert him to the violation of his copyright?
hahahahahaahahah! 
Not plagiarism. Just what eventually happens when you set up a two monkeymailers in a room with a two typewriters...
filkertom, someone representing Michigan AAA called the other day. Caller ID said *Ontario*.
I was just perusing some "gibbons" photos, and came across this text:
"Orangutans...
are endangered species. They are protected and illegal to hunt yet still only 17 years and the species will be extinct. This is due to the cutting down of their habit."
The thing about this "plagiarized" speech is that it's just more frickin' jingoism to begin with. I'm sorry -- "liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals"? Besides the fact that he uses "liberal" twice, hasn't he updated his rhetoric from the LBJ administration, for god's sake?
There must be something in their brain chemistry that simply kills off original thoughts.
I will congratulate him for hitting every brain-dead liberal stereo-type in one speech. Oh, wait: he forgot to say "Godless".
I shudder to imagine what kind of drooling moron sees a man like Gibbons and thinks "Gee, that's who I want representing me!"
"Inquiries Regarding the Republican Obsession With Phallic Symbols," by Dr. Ziggy Frist:
Why are missile-shaped objects revered
By the asshole Repukelican weird?
Why does a cannon's snout
Cause their weenies to spout?
Why are their flagpoles always cum-smeared?
Do you have to be a moron to be a GOP House member, or does it just help?
Gibbons said it was not movie stars but soldiers and sailors that defended freedom in the deserts of Iraq, the jungles of Vietnam, the sands of Iwo Jima and the beaches of Normandy.
Gosh, and there I was thinking that the GOP believed Ronald Reagan liberated concentration camps and won the Cold War...
Rep. Gibbons was honored last month as "Elected Official of the Year" by the Las Vegas Asican Chamber of Commerce.
Some enterprising person could begin a business, "Rent-A-Rhetoric".
Just recycle your "tired, huddled, worn out" phrases for a fresh new shelf-life of, oh, about ten minutes.
Republicans are just not creative.
And Rep. Gibbons wants to be Nevada's next governor.
pie -- aiee. One of the many reasons I deal with the AAA office down the street.
Mad as Hell ...
A white, church-going, registered Republican surburbanite, a member of the class fetishized by the MSM and whoever this Dan Patrick douche bag is currently in the clink, suspected of blinding, torturing, and killing a bunch of his neighbors over the course of three decades. If that's the country I'm out of touch with, I can easily say I'm glad (and proud) to be out of touch with the country.
Where does the Birkenstock bullshit come from? I don't even know what those are.

Now I'm really feeling old...
They are a type of "natural" sandal that forms to your feet. And I wouldn't be caught dead in them so I'm not a true lefty.
someone in Nevada please call the state democratic party and tell them.
Lime Rickey, there are several reasons I like to read the comments here. And you are one of them.
I can't believe this doofus had to plagiarize just to come up with a bunch of stupid winger bullshit. My god, how dumb do you have to be that you would have to plagiarize what amounts to something any goddamned winger is apt to just spit out at random any old time.
The last time I looked, it is split down the middle pretty evenly.
No. Not half. Only about half of registered voters did so, and some are definitely regretting their vote for Chimpy.
The others are a vocal bunch of assholes though, preaching hate and bigotry.
No thanks.
When you're reading off White House talking points, of course it's going to seem like plagiarism.
No one likes war, I hate war. But the one thing I hate more is the fact that this country has been forced into war
From Chapman's speech. I just don't understand it.
Creatures like Gibbons prefer to be surrounded by enemies so that they can watch others die for them all around them.
The only people who have been asked to sacrifice for the WOT are U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
Speeches like this are about Enemy Worship. Nothing more.
Does anything on this Earth have more enemies than a rightwing republican?
They want it this way.
Yes, Mr. Hedges, war is indeed a force that gives us/them meaning.
I'm sorry -- "liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals"? Besides the fact that he uses "liberal" twice
"You listed 'rape' twice."
"I like rape."
(/Mel Brooks)
Alternatively:
"And in this ever-changing world in which we live in..."
(/Sir Paul McCartney)
Even more ironic is the statement that "they would be put to death at the hands of Sadam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden".
But isn't the conservative line that libruls hate America and love Saddam/bin Laden? If that were the case, then why would they be put to death?
Yeah, let's all jump on Melhman who's gay. You hetero assholes created him. You created Drudge and Guckert, too.
When is he going to fight in Iraq. Lay down his life.
Man, if he wanted to plagiarize mindless jingoism, he could at least have used one of the classics:
We don’t want to fight
but by jingo if we do...
We’ve got the ships, we’ve got the men,
and got the money too!
Course, then he would have had to get rid of the "we don't want to fight"
But it was the repubs who outed JFKennedy for his "Ask Not" plagarism and Biden for his misstep during presidential campaign. They couldn't possibly capable of doing something so bad.
OT - But I think the dems who will definitely vote for Bankruptcy bill are Biden, Carper and Nelson-NE, with waverers being Johnson, Baccus and indy Jeffords. That will put it over 60.
Gibbons is a big tough guy, except when the Reps tried to get him to run against Reid this cycle, he put his tail between his legs and ran.
Talks a big game. Pussy.

I get the top.
Isn't this what killed Biden's hopes for the presidency?
I thought it was the hair plugs.
OT, but I'll start off with Fuck Alan Greenspan. I'm not sure if anybody's mentioned this yet:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Thursday said some form of a consumption tax - such as a national sales tax - could spur greater economic growth, but he cautioned that the government would face significant problems making the transition to such a system.
Switching from an income tax to a consumption tax would generate huge opposition from Democrats, who argue that taxing food and other goods would fall hardest on the poor.
Acknowledging those concerns, Greenspan told the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform that policy-makers might want to consider a combination of an income tax and a consumption tax.
``I would suspect that probably that may be the best route to go. In other words, don't try for purity,'' Greenspan said in response to a question from a panelist. ``I would suspect that the opposition that would arise would probably make such a structure (a pure consumption tax) infeasible.''
Addressing concerns about increased taxes on food and other necessities, Greenspan said that policy-makers could design a consumption tax that would exclude products mostly consumed by the poor.
Yep,
the dude has pulled a Biden...
but nothing will happen, and I am sure his campaign coffers are about to get a great deal fatter.
at least Biden ripped off some good prose that was positive and "soaring."
ever notice how all of the wingnuts attempts to make culturally-based slams are at least 5 years out of date?
I haven't seen a birkenstock in years, and by my memory they were last popular @1993.
All the kiddies are wearing those Adidas-type soccer sandals these days...
I don't even remember a large birk following at last summer's Philly Phish shows...
Next he'll be criticizing libs for listening to the Rolling Stones or something.
This goof is from Nevada?
Just who does he think hits that "pro-family" Vegas for a dose of that debauchery anyway?
I just re-read the ravings of this lunatic.
He missed the most important insult.
He didn't call us Baby-Eaters
Hey Res, it gets better:
Pastor Visits BTK Suspect in Jail
By ROXANA HEGEMAN
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - On the same day he was fired from his job, the suspect in the BTK serial killings got assurances he will continue to be a member the church where he is a leader.
I couldn't read the rest, i got too sick...
parsing the American demographic:
One third were too stupid to realize the voting was in their interest, another third were too stupid to realize that voting for Bush was not in their best interest, and then there's us.
The odds ain't pretty, folks. Everytime you stand in the checkout line, there's an idiot in front of you and another behind you.
"And in this ever-changing world in which we live in..."
(/Sir Paul McCartney)
I wince every time I hear that.
Couldn't he have come up with something else? Guess not.
Did any of you catch Dan Patrick of KSEV Houston
You saw that fucking idiot?
He was IIRC the sports anchor for years on one of the network affiliates in Houston. Then moved to sports radio and running a radio station. Guess he moved himself up to political commentator. From what I hear he is to the right of DeLay.
"Yeah, let's all jump on Melhman who's gay. You hetero assholes created him. You created Drudge and Guckert, too."

Well, then what society created the closeted bitter gay trolls?
Well, that particular Wings song was (IIRC) after the death of Lennon. He's never quite had the pizazz for lyrics that Lennon and Harrison had, and now those two are both 6ft under.
Following up on the copyright. One need only do a quick search to find Beth Chapman's speech is not with repute:
http://tinyurl.com/4gpnf -> 843 hits.
I wonder if the people listening to Gibbons knew already of the speech. Maybe it is a standard at such gatherings.
But that he did indeed use her speech makes me hope this whole issue gets some coverage. And he forgets to mention he was only reading someone else's words. And then this is pointed out to him. And he ends up looking like a theiving hateful baboon.
Lime Rickey ... That was really gross. And really funny.
It's obvious we liberals need to rethink the whole Ten Commandment display. Obviously Jimbob Gibbons didn't get down the Thou-Shalt-Nots to Stealing. Of course, you can lead a Con to the Commandments, you just can't get him to obey it.
I wonder if Bobo will write a glowing column about BTK and middle amurika?
It's Bobo's World, we're just stuck in it!!
filkertom,
What were they calling about? My 70 year old hard-core dem mother got one the other day and was royally pissed because they were trying to scare her, saying social security would not be there for her. She was mad that they are blowing it for the dems by doing this. Duh, she is already receiving ss. She was giving them script advice, they should be asking the age of the person before saying this crap, and should come up with something better. I wonder who had this bright idea...hoping not our Dr. Dean!
So since Ed Schultz wants all the bloggers to pound this story, what do we do now?
"realize that voting" - damn finners!
"liberal, tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals"?
Even in the Electric Blue City (AKA Berkeley) tie-dye is for tourists.
After constant troll exposure, most of us could fart out a better incoherant wingnut rave than that..
-
filkertom, doesn't that beat all? I got the same call. I was blogging about manufacturing in MI this am, and in particular the auto industry. Most of GM's vehicles are made in Canada now. Then, if you buy[for example]a Ford Ranger, they are assembled in Minnesota, the engine is from Germany, and the transmission is from France. Now we can't even use our State for making phone calls for our political party? Oy!
at least Biden ripped off some good prose that was positive and "soaring."
Actually, Biden credited Kinnock almost every time he gave that speech. He got roasted over the one time at a late night rally where he forgot. Still, Biden had a bit of front to use it, since Kinnock was a genuine son of the pit; and especially because Kinnock has balded gracefully.
Please, please please let this get bigger. As someone from Nevada, I am scared to death that we could elect him. However, right now it looks like wingnut will soon be Governor Wingnut. Calling the NV Democratic Party right now....
Joe Biden plagiarizing Neil Kinnock--bad.
Jim Gibbons plagiarizing Beth Chapman--good.
IOKIYAR.
CNN poll getting freeped:
Do you prefer scrapping the federal income tax for a national sales tax?
yes at 53%
I've decided to do a little cutting and pasting and plagarizing of my own - but I have the decency to edit as well:
"We are all here tonight because men and women of the United States military have given their lives for the profits of a small oligarchy." Snyder continued, "we are here tonight not because of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan or Paul Wolfowitz - they never sacrificed their lives for us or for liberty."
Snyder said it was not politicos but soldiers and sailors that defended the interests of military contractors in the deserts of Iraq, the jungles of Vietnam, the sands of Libya and the beaches of Grenada.
"I say we tell those conservative, tree-hating, Brooks Brothers-wearing, young-Republican, pin-striped conservatives to go make their profits and their fraud and whine somewhere else," Snyder said to another burst of applause.
He said if they lived in Iraq or Afghanistan, "Ironically they would do quite well for themselves at the hands of Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden."
Snyder brought the crowd to near feverish pitch when he hit the hot button issue of abortion.
"I want to know how these very people who are in favor of war because some might be 'liberated' can possibly be the same people who are against abortion rights?" Snyder said. "They are the same people who are for property rights, but they are not for the rights of expectant mothers to control medical decisions about their own bodies."
He said that they are the same people who wanted to go to Iran and do business with the enemy.
"I say it's just too damn bad we all but bought them a ticket," Snyder said.
Laughter rippled through the room, mingled with more applause.
"If they want to be war profiteers, I say let them serve with the men and women of honest integrity that epitomize courage and embody the spirit of freedom by wearing the proud uniform of the United States military - then lets see whether they will be so eager to beat the drums of war if they actually have to put themselves in harm's way fighting it," Snyder said.
"What greater love has man than he makes sure never to ask his friend to lay down his life for him unless he were willing to do the same - or in this case, his country," Snyder said in conclusion.
My 70 year old hard-core dem mother got one the other day and was royally pissed because they were trying to scare her, saying social security would not be there for her.
You say the Dems were calling? Hmmmmm. Something smells stinky.
Given the robotic, formulaic nature of these rants composed of nothing but stock phrases (doubleplusgood duckspeak!), it's possibly that maybe it *isn't* plagiarism.
I'll second that.
It's called "working towards the Fuehrer."
(Tip of the hat to Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw, who quotes that phrase from a minor Nazi functionary.)
someone representing Michigan AAA called the other day. Caller ID said *Ontario*.
GAAAAH!!!
Erin -- I do not know. The caller said she was with the Michigan Democratic Party, calling with an update, and I was so enraged at seeing "Minnesota Call" on my Caller ID that I snarled, "Do not call me again!" and hung up.
Not one dime do they get from me, if they can't be bothered to create jobs here. Why should I volunteer for them, or give them money, if they can't employ Michiganders first?
what a great day in the nw. lunch date is late and my precious bottle of cheap but good sau. blanc is perfect to help me pass the time. Now, I just finished a dance with the parakeets and Duncan is getting passionate. The perfect kind of passion. No sex. Just violent flirting!

It's obvious we liberals need to rethink the whole Ten Commandment display. Obviously Jimbob Gibbons didn't get down the Thou-Shalt-Nots to Stealing. Of course, you can lead a Con to the Commandments, you just can't get him to obey it. - cosmosis
Anyone who wants to post the 10 commandments in a public space should be asked a few simple questions:
(1) What did you do last Saturday?
(2) Do you believe in the divinity of Jesus? If so - when was the last time you called upon Jesus without a good enough reason to do so (e.g. just because "it makes you feel better to call upon Jesus, etc.)?
If people cannot keep the Sabbath or refrain from using the name of their lord in vain, why are they trying to foist the 10 commandments on everyone else?
I wonder what Jesus had to say about such hypocrites ... hmmm ....
It's hard to imagine the military is having trouble recruiting, what with all these war enthusiasts around.
Oh, wait, they're enthused about SOMEONE ELSE going to Iraq while they sit at home 'cheerleading'.
steveboy - This goof is from Nevada?
Just who does he think hits that "pro-family" Vegas for a dose of that debauchery anyway
Oh but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
I've never seen such suggestive commercials in my life. They're funny, but they are open invitations to do everything you wouldn't do if you knew someone would find out. Now, exactly how does that fit in with the "moral values" these fuckwits are flogging?
des -- and I heard a radio report today saying that manufacturing jobs were going pretty much exactly the same way agriculture jobs went -- they used to be everywhere, and now they're being phased out, outsourced, or people are being made to work much harder. (Productivity is up, which means people are getting their asses kicked at work.)
When will these fucks figure out that raw profit is not the be-all and end-all of economics?
DAS,
That was awesome.
3 threads in a row about people who are best described as human excrement - it's hard to take - harder to think about - and it makes it harder than ever to believe that we're all in this together -

Thank you.

Yes.

St. Patrick

He was pretty much a lifer.
We are indeed in it together, Archibald. Just remember that diseases only do what they are genetically inclined to do, even if it means killing off their habitat and, ultimately, themselves. What we have to do is, effectively, cure a disease.
Yep. Just check the Caller ID record. My call from the Michigan Democratic Party also came from Minnesota, area code 320.
Seems kind of silly.
These people have to have people to hate and the gop kindly gives them a list. Notice how over and over you see the same tired parade of names in the rants, letters to the editors, and speeches. Even funnier is when they mispell one of the names. Some goper ass wrote a local letter to the editor attacking "Zoros". Yeah, the Zoros danger!!!...hordes of masked men with rapiers rampaging across the country dissing glorious leader Bush.
I sent an e-mail to the AL state auditor informing her of Rep Monkey's plagiarism. I'm such a good citizen.
Oh, and I love my Birkies!
SO, IF HE LOVES THESE WARS, WHY DOES HE NOT GO AND JOIN THE ARMY?
I mean, he could join Bush, and Rush, and all those other Republicans who served at time of war.......oh wait!
Re: McCartney, I've been told before that the line is actually "If this ever-changing world in which we're livin'" (followed by "Makes you give in and cry/Say 'Live and let die'").
Dammit, these rock 'n' rollers really need to learn how to eee-nunciate.
Does anybody know -- has Gibbons himself ever served in the military?
From his Congressional site:
USAF 1967-1971
USAFR 1975-1997
F-4s, maybe. It is written rather poorly.
Clearly, this man, Gibbons, loves America.
Re: McCartney, I've been told before that the line is actually "If this ever-changing world in which we're livin'" (followed by "Makes you give in and cry/Say 'Live and let die'").
Then he needed to enunciate, but at least that sounds better.
Oh, I think you guys are being a little hard on the fuckwit; it's not "plagiarism," it's "staying on message."
Barf.
No link to his Bio. Did he serve in the military?
I don't recall Jane Fonda saying anything about the War on Iraq. Or anything political at all since she discovered aerobics.
Now, exactly how does that fit in with the "moral values" these fuckwits are flogging?
Yes.
watertiger
Thought so.
OK, so now our right wing red staters want to punish anyone who shirks fighting in a war???
HAHAHAHAHA.
It would be funnier if these people were dead.
The Birkenstock reference indicates how dated the speech is: that takes it back to at least the early to mid 80's.
The script probably orignated in the Reagan era, the last time I can remember anyone mentioning Birkenstock as some kind of iconic benchmark.
The poor sap in Elko probably doesn't even know what the script refers to.
Interesting that he evoked the punishment that would be doled out by Saddam and Osama...and by Mr. Gibbon himself if he had his drothers.
I suppose the irony was lost on him.
Sure does and that was my first thought. The call probably came in last week.
No way the Dems would be calling and saying that.
The thugs are up to their usual dirty tricks, methinks.
*Book 'em, Dano!*
No link to his Bio. Did he serve in the military?

watertiger | Email | Homepage | 03.03.05 - 4:20 pm
Mmmm... Placenta Helper.
Note how the red staters want a war with us. They just ache for this war. They won't fight in Iraq any more than they would have fought in Vietnam (ie, zero percent).
These clowns want to beat up people at home because they are Nazis. They won't pay taxes or carry their share of the load but they want to have a fight with us.
I say, let's cut America in two. We get the Blue States and they can stew in their own juices.
I don't recall Jane Fonda saying anything about the War on Iraq. Or anything political at all since she discovered aerobics.
Well, there was that whole "Tree-huggers for Liposuction" phase she went through...
filkertom, The Almighty dollar is always the bottom line. With so much foreign competition filling the American marketplace, US manufacturing has to change to stay profitable. Unfortuately, that has meant leaving MI and often the country. Ford Motor is one of the big companies trying to get the foreign steel tariffs removed. It will help them keep their costs down, but it fucks another area of manufacturing in the nation -- the steelmakers. Everyone is out for their own self anymore.
Yeah, the Zoros danger!!!...hordes of masked men with rapiers rampaging across the country dissing glorious leader Bush.
sekmet
That means we get to have leaders who look like Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, Guy Williams, or Duncan Regehr!
I like this! In the Tyrone Power movie, Zorro led a band that opposed the evil governor and overthrew his regime.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
muckcat,
No the irony was not lost.
He probably didn't even see it as ironic.
Just blindly patriotic.
I can't believe how many of these retired military Repubs are pro-war, particularly the ones who served in a worthless waste of life like Vietnam. I would think first hand knowledge of war would make you want to avoid it at all costs.
In any case, anybody besides me get a little nervous at the way our government officals worship the military these days? I can think of a few times in the 20th century where that didn't work out so well...
I'll never understand the whole "evil Hollywood and music industry liberal" thing. They're ranting and raving against fairly mainstream folks, you know, not your underground directors and indie musicians. Fucking Sheryl Crow, man. Who was Rosie O'Donnell's audience? Was it WTO-bashing anarchists and free-love advocates? No...it was middle America.
I wonder what folks like Gibbons think they'll listen to and watch once all those nasty libruls go "somewhere else". Who's gonna play their halftime shows and Disney parade spectacularrrrs? Like the entertainment industry has anything else on its mind beyond money...
The poor sap in Elko probably doesn't even know what the script refers to.
Slothrop
Indeed. Gibbons defends his remarks here but the only wicked celebrities he can think to name are Jane Fonda (?) and Michael Moore - so he repeats their names a couple of times.
They probably think a Birkenstock is a whore house.
Now, what state has legal whorehouses....!
The man is a raving lunatic. Obviously. I suppose it is a little worrisome, that he is part of the mainstream.
Yeah, the Zoros danger!
I saw that and immediately thought of "Manos - Hands of Fate".
But that's just me.
des, it's another one of those obvious-to-me things... a little bit of shuffling of the money, and the rich people would still be rich, just not quite as grotesquely rich, and everybody else would immediately be better off. Is it that damn hard?
Luckily I left my long hair and sandals behind long ago, and am now ensconced in the apparently safe chablis and brie niche.

Tena, you're right on the money. I was in the news biz in Las Vegas in in the late 80's and early 90's -- a period which saw two children raped and murdered in casinos just past the Cal/Nev state line.
When I was visiting Vegas last month, I saw that "What Goes On In Vegas Stays In Vegas" on a billboard and it took me back.
It's one of the creepiest slogans I have seen.
And tree hugging in Nevada: whoa, that can be painful since most trees are scrub plants that hurt.
Why do men from virtually tree nude states hate trees? I know, they are orcs. Still, hating trees? I remember the Audbon society was started so they would plant trees in red states! To stop erosion and other disasterous things....
And there is any question that we should be NICE to Republicans
and where does Arnold Schwarzenegger fit in this tirade
I just checked my email, and I usually get an email before any phone call from the party. There's no email. I didn't have time to talk at them this am when they called. If it was about SS, something does sound fishy now.

May I ask if Gibbons was ever in the military?
And does he and his followers really want to stake their lives on the ASSUMPTION that OUR side doesn't own or know how to use GUNS?

Well, I realize the reason the Shot Callers pull this particular trigger. It just doesn't make sense to me that the Average American would rant and rage against the sinful entertainment industry, yet completely fail to not sink millions and millions of dollars into it every year. Hey, assholes...you don't like what they're showing, well, the tube has two knobs, man: one to change the channel and one to turn it off.
There's a music magazine in Atlanta called Stomp & Stammer, and the movie reviewer has this sorta third-rate Hannity shtick going. He spends most of the review - usually your average Hollywood spectacularrr - raging against liberals and how Hollywood is just chock full of people who hate God and Apple Pie and Your Mother. He wrote this huge thing on the Kinsley movie, and every bit of it was what every single Townhall.com dingaling had said two weeks prior. He hated everything about the movie, yet gave it a whole page and a half.
I just wanna shake the guy and say, "Hey, fucknozzle...you're promoting the people you hate, okay? Let's use a little common sense here. No one gives a damn about your political points and evil libruls in Hollywood are still getting your money."

Stripper Selling Infamous Breast Implant on EBay
MIAMI (Reuters) - A former topless dancer who was famously cleared of battering a Florida nightclub patron with her "crazy big" breasts has shed her oversized silicone implants and put one of them up for auction on eBay.
The woman known professionally as Tawny Peaks said on Wednesday she recently came across the implants in a box in her closet after watching a television discussion about crazy things sold on eBay and decided, "Why not ... I don't need it any more."
(snip -- so to speak)
Peaks said she would autograph the auctioned implant for the winner but would keep its mate "for good measure."
She explained that she had her size 69-HH implants removed and underwent breast reduction surgery in 1999 after retiring from the business to start a new life.
(snip)
Peaks won notoriety in 1998 when a man sued her and her employer, the Diamond Dolls nightclub in Clearwater, Florida, saying he suffered a whiplash injury when she swung her breasts into his face at a bachelor party. He said they were "like two cement blocks."
The parties accepted binding arbitration on "The People's Court" television show and the judge, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, ordered a female bailiff to examine Peaks in private.
The bailiff found the breasts to be "soft" and to weigh about 2 pounds (0.9 kg) each. Koch ruled they were not dangerous and refused to award damages.

Anyone know if Gibbons ever served i nthe military? Or combat?

Heartbreaker, with your bowling ball...
They get letters:
Gibbons, who wants to govern the State of Nevada, presented a message of pure hatred for its own sake. Unreasoning bigotry was the ideology of Adolph Hitler and should have ended with him.
By advocating that everyone who disagrees with him be used for target practice, Gibbons clearly aligns himself with the same type of senseless intolerance that brought death to millions of innocent people under Hitler's rule.

America is taught to worship the corporations. They know they depend on them for their livelihood so they do not question anything. I think it would be like the moment when you realize that your parent is not perfect. Remember it? It knocked me out, for sure. They don't want to think that the person who controls their livelihood has anything but the best intentions for them.

Wearing a badly groomed hair piece, a fake mustache and an ugly 1970s tie, Rob Corddry waited patiently until after the real reporters had posed their questions to ask one about about Social Security.
Standing awkwardly with his legs far apart as though he were getting ready to sprint, nodding in agreement to every word spoken by Miller about the West Side Stadium, Corddry finally raised his hand.
"Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker," he shouted, as if in a White House news conference, identifying himself as "Dino Ironbody"
His question: "How do you feel about the president's awesome plan to privatize Social Security?"

I can't believe how many of these retired military Repubs are pro-war, particularly the ones who served in a worthless waste of life like Vietnam.
I've seen this phenomenon myself (even though most active duty types I know are hard core liberals, many of the retired military folk I know are Rethugs): I think it's a matter of the "follow orders" training so necessary to military duty sticking with certain people longer than the blocked out horrors of combat (to the extent that the Rethug types experience it at all). Certain folk become accustomed to deferring to a certain kind of authority and the Rethug leaders, no matter how much they would be likely to get fragged if they were actual officers in an actual combat situation, do exert this kind of authority.

After 30 years, Humboldt County Assistant District Attorney Tim Stoen -- formerly a high-ranking aide to cult leader and eventual mass murderer Jim Jones -- has apologized to the reporter who broke the earliest stories of strange happenings at the People's Temple in Mendocino County.
According to a story in Wednesday's Santa Rosa Press Democrat, Les Kinsolving -- a religion writer for the San Francisco Examiner at the time -- reported in 1972 how Stoen claimed Jim Jones brought more than 40 people back from near death. Kinsolving also questioned the apparently violent nature of a group, whose temple guards packed .357 Magnums.

I always thought it was merely misplaced, misunderstood Calvinism (crossed with a bit of Plato via Strauss and also, bizarrely enough, those opponants of the Calvinists, the Cavaliers): it doesn't matter what you do whether you are moral - it matters whether you have a good, elect soul or an evil, irredeemible soul.
Duties, responsibilities, etc., are to keep the unwashed masses in line. The chosen few, the noble oligarchs, etc. - they are "good people" not "evil people", so they can do whatever they want and will still be saved.

I've seen this woman do her thing, I think. Either her or another woman with hooters the size of small children. It is emphatically not a pretty sight. About as erotic as a pile of old tennis shoes, and she told a friend of mine (who interviewed her) that people stare at her because, and I quote, "All men want me and all women want to be me."
My friend had the journalistic integrity to not say what I'd have said, which is, "No, people stare at you because people tend to stare at people who don't look right. People stare at you not because you're hot, because you look like your about to have two Aliens bust out of your chest."

He never talked to my chest again.
This is kind of circular reasoning I believe: Since in Iraq you wouldn't have been able to say what you said, you should now shut up.

Shit, if some sleazebag tried to get my vote with a "speech" of non-sequiturs about "nukular-free whale-friendly bio-waste-fueled hydrogen recycling bicycle lanes", I think I'd want the specifics.

Note how the red staters want a war with us. They just ache for this war. They won't fight in Iraq any more than they would have fought in Vietnam (ie, zero percent).
They've been itching for a rematch since the Civil War. In fact, they've been fighting a war since then. You blue staters are just now having this fact rubbed in your faces because they've figured out how to cheat on a national level.

It's not really my fault he is so easily elected to Congress...the state of Nevada is gerrymandered in such a way that the main Democratic stronghold, Clark county, is dissected to weaken any Democratic foothold and keep the republicans in control of the State legislature as well as Congress. Harry Reid is lucky to have a strong support base. However, it may soon dissipate into the wind if the republicans can steal the rug from underneath him.

Guy with a stuttering problem goes to the doctor to find out what can be done. During the course of the exam, the doc discovers that the man has an exceptionally long member. The doc says, "Ahh, here's the problem. We will need to do surgery to shorten this up, and you should be just fine." So, they do the surgery, and a few weeks later the man returns for a checkup. The man has been completely cured of his stuttering, but asks the doctor if there's any way he can have at least some of what they took off back.

I really do wonder if that wasn't what Tony Blair was trying to do when he joined in with Bush on the Iraq debacle. Aside from the UK's oil interests, it may well have been that he considered it the only way anyone could put a governor on the runaway delustional ambitions of Chimp & Cronies Unlimited.
Because I don't for one second believe that Blair believed Saddam was a threat, or that the majority in his nation wouldn't disapprove strongly.
In fact, if you were a truly clever strategist out to limit the power of the USA long-term to the benefit of Europe, it's a great strategy: ride America on its way down, then hop onto Europe on its ride up.

Off the track here, Greenacres stated that he's in favor of a consumption tax. Great. Now that the rich pay very little in taxes, and the country is bankrupt, the middle class will now end up with a huge tax increase to make up for this insanity.

"You can't come in here" said this blowsy blonde.
She towered over me (I was a teen). "Why not?" I asked.
:"We don't serve women here" she said. I said, "How dare you refuse to serve me..." and then suddenly realized I was in a whorehouse.
Rosie laughed her head off and gave me hot tea and soup.

Frist Rejects Social Security Concerns
By LAURA MECKLER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Thursday that Congress must confront Social Security's problems this year, dialing back comments earlier in the week that action might have to wait.

It's definitely a breeding ground for republicans and they love that crap he, Gibbons, was dishing out. In fact, all of rural Nevada, including Reno and Carson City are hellbent republicans and really wallow in the crap.

Wasn't just a few days ago that this strutting fool was sticking his skinny chest out and demanding that Iran kneel down to his mightiness?
Smell that fresh, clean thread...
I like David Brock's take on it:
Blinded by the right
Had it in 30 seconds, and they were all converts.

You think it's cool but you do know what it means, don't you? It means the Internet is our first integration into the Machine. Right now, it's enhancing man's memory but that's the first step to the Borg.
Wrapped up like a deuce
Revved up like a deuce. It's a car.
Vicki, how the heck are you?

I willingly submit because I am incredibly lazy.
I'd like to spit in this fuckers face and dare him to do something about it.
Up to new thread where I'll have a funny picture for y'all.
Hi Steve! {waving}
I'm great! How the heck are you?
Been missing you on the threads!
The Internet is already integrating with man by improving our memory.
Better "the party of no" than "the party of no plan".
Nice, Heywood J.
I would add that their much-touted plans for other things, like education, are just smoke and mirrors.
Geez, let's not forget their *plans* for postwar Iraq.
I've never seen such incompetence.
Never, ever, ever.

Ya mean like deuce and a quarter?
Google is a Borg conspiracy.....
Hey, since this has turned into a quasi-open thread, I want to tell everybody about how I've sold 6 prints in the last two days via my new online gallery. I admonish all of you to buy something, or my dog and cats will starve.
The Internet is already integrating with man by improving our memory.
Actually, I take issue with that. It does create a distributed, collective memory, but I think our memory is not as good anymore because we are more dependent on external memory. 'course, that was an argument against paper and books, so I guess there is nothing new under the sun...
God, NTodd, I would in a heart beat ~ your prints are gorgeous! But I, like many others, are having to do more with less...
We work more hours. Get no raises. Heat bills are through the stratosphere. Car insurance fees just went up in Michigan.
Ack. You don't need to hear me whine. Good luck to you, you're very talented.
Ô¿Ô - Look at the brightside - man will become immortal if what you say is true.
Maybe that's not so bright...
Vicki - missed you. Miss Krsaz, too. Come back, guys
No medical insurance, strawhat, and I'm pretty sure it's just bruised; I will ice it as you and pie suggested.
I guess there is nothing new under the sun...
BTW, that comes from the Bible, which you can read here.
'course, that was an argument against paper and books, so I guess there is nothing new under the sun...
Yowsa, I got ready to post that sentiment and thought, oh why bother.
But that's exactly right.
Borg smorg.
Smörgåsbord. Yum! Must be time for dinner.
It ain't like W, Rove, Rummy, Wolfie, etc. ever served.. and if Rosie O Donnell had wanted to, they'd have kicked her out!
Vicki - thanks, and I understand. We're doing more with less, too, although this year it's our own damn choice. Still, I blame Bush.
She's got a chicken to ride, and she don't care.
NTodd,
Lovely, let me think about it.
Hey, Tena...
Thanks for the kind words.
We seem to have lost krsaz...I thought things were perfectly fine the last I heard from him, but that's been two weeks now. He had several real stressful things on his plate, and he's just vanished.
I'm kind of worried about him, actually.
well.
needless to say i am speechless.
hope you're proud of yourself.
Ahianne, I went through this with a soccer-playing dynamo who spent a lot of time hurt going for that all-important kick.
It probably wouldn't hurt to take Ibuprofen.
Lovely, let me think about it.
No! Don't think! BUYBUYBUY!
BTW, if anybody has tips on how to improve my salespitch, I'd appreciate it...
Grammar police. I can't believed I used "I" with "are" ~ geeze, too much writing today! Just call me personal pronounly challenged!
I don't know how you can claim we're not becoming more Borg-like. Everywhere I go, someone has a cell-phone sticking out of their ear.
Resistance is futile.

Interesting comment, Incog.
Actually ibuprofen would hurt - I'm allergic. Took naproxen sodium though.
now that I think about it, why aren't more Democrats giving speaches exhorting the right wing nutcases to move somewhere more in line with their level of fanaticism and fundamentalism, like, say, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Pakistan. They MIGHT even be able to stone someone or help gang-rape an "adulterous" woman...???
NTodd - Did I read right the other night you had lost your job?
I don't know how you can claim we're not becoming more Borg-like. Everywhere I go, someone has a cell-phone sticking out of their ear.
Wrong! They have HEADSETS, and they talk to invisible people.
"After all, if they lived in Iraq, they wouldn’t be allowed the freedom of speech they’re being given here today - - ironically, they would be put to death at the hands of Sadam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden."
Putting aside the fact that Osama Bin Laden is not the leader of a recognizible government and therefore cannot have any citizens executed... putting aside the fact that we are now told that, for all practical purposes, no one has a clue where Osama IS...
I was under the wacky impression that Saddam Hussein was captured, er, awhile back.
I was also laboring under the notion that Iraq has just held free elections, with the support and blessing of the United States, and that democracy was in bloom from Baghdad to Basra.
Uh... guys?
HOW LONG AGO was this this boilerplate rhetoric issued to the frontline wingnuts? AND BY WHOM, EXACTLY?
Follow that storyline.
Ah NTodd, money is just kind of hard to come by at this moment. (Cannot wait for the Junior DWD to graduate and for littlest DWD to ace the damned ACT. Then . . . (Littlest DWD is scary smart.)
Everywhere I go, someone has a cell-phone sticking out of their ear.
Not I.
But how does that make someone Borg-like?
People love to talk. It connects us.
And we're all not talking to the same person.
NTodd - Did I read right the other night you had lost your job?
Nah, I quit back in November so I could work on the photography (and teach college), but my boss offered me 1/4 time and I accepted. Just started the new schedule in February--wouldn't you know it, that's when I got hit by the nasty 3 week flu bug.
fuck bradley smith
pie, ever read the larry niven story that ends with a man worried he's insane being taken to a hospital for the not telepathic?
[snicker, snicker] somebody's not assimilated! why do you think the trolls are always complaining about our exclusivist conformity, a conformity with no evidence in the content of the comments?
Ah NTodd, money is just kind of hard to come by at this moment.
Yeah, I know. I've picked the absolute worst fucking time to try to sell frivolous stuff. But I just gotta dance!
NTodd - November, geez, guess I am a little slow on the uptake. Your new gig sounds good. I started a six month sabbatical four years ago, have not found anything motivating enough or that interested me enough to pursue.
No, no, no. You don't mix water with Laphroaig. Just a dram, neat. At room temperature.
You think it's cool but you do know what it means, don't you? It means the Internet is our first integration into the Machine.
I thought the Industrial Revolution featured our first integration into the workings of the machine. The Internet just makes it look prettier.
November, geez, guess I am a little slow on the uptake.
Ah, no, I didn't really announce it to the world. Heck, my mom and dad didn't even know until I posted the news on my blog ("you never write, you never call"...but Mom, I *blog*!).
Pant, pant, I'm always late to these things. Birkenstocks are actually experiencing a resurgence, but not on the feet of latte-sipping, Volvo driving, graying libruls. No, here in Madison, there is an entire store dedicated to these rather unsightly but comfy shoes on our main shopping drag, State St At over $100 a pop, fashionistas from high school and college are all wearing them, not hippies but kool kids.
No, no, no. You don't mix water with Laphroaig. Just a dram, neat. At room temperature.
[Shudders]
Real assholes serve a vital purpose. It is an insult to assholes everywhere to call that worthless p.o.s. an asshole.
This is what I get for sleeping all day.
Maybe this goofball Gibbons (funny how I think of the primate for this) forgot about liberals like one of mother's cousins who was one of those poor bastards at Normandy. Maybe he forgot about my liberal uncle who got killed on the USS Enterprise in WWII.
This veteran who was lucky enough not to serve in combat, just like four of my other liberal uncles, says FUCK YOU GIBBONS.
You're a coward. You never put your life on the line for this country--or for anything else. You run and hide and scream like a titty baby for its mama when the going gets really tough. Just like Rush Limbaugh. Dick Cheney. Tom Delay. And your boy Bush. No, you all were content to let other people fight your wars for you, to let other mothers across America think that a pretty little Gold Star, like something out of goddamned kindergarten, could replace a living, breathing child.
FUCK YOU GIBBONS AND ALL YOU OTHER REPUBLICAN ASSWIPE COWARDS, TOO.
Sorry, but this shit really pisses me off.
ever read the larry niven story that ends with a man worried he's insane being taken to a hospital for the not telepathic?
No, but wasn't there a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode that was sort of like that?
Lucy's in a fiiiight with Liiinus...
there was a ray bradbury episode of alfred hitchcock presents where a man suffers from a delusion that he is a martian, from an ecologically devastated mars, wakws up finding himself the last green bug in town, finally caused to be in a human body by a lucky manipulation of an abandoned machine...and in the last shot the psychs treating him concur that he was unconcious during the exodus and simply needs earthling assimilation training.
Thanks for the reminder -- I got a postcard from my local Birkenstock store that their prices are going up in a few days and if I need another pair I should run right in now.
I need to check 'em out because an old hippy just can't have enough Birks.
HIPPIES?
What decade does this man live in? He's still ranting about hippies?
Speaking for myself, I think it's all the fault of those damned flappers.
White House hooker.
The scandal-plagued Bush administration.
This was a speech given at a "Lincoln Day" celebration?? Lincoln would puke if he could see how these two bit NAZIS have ripped off his name and his Party.
Of course, it's perfectly fine to trash veterans who are Democrats. What a load of shit.
Wow. Guess here's the answer to the
immortal question "where have all the
fascists gone?".
ha...great catch...reader l...
i loves these republican plagiarists...
Gibbons was a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, and obviously suffered oxygen deprivation at high altitude, leading to the slow rot of his brain and his current pathetic dysfunctional condition.
For this guy to use language in a speech and not know it's origin is like receiving stolen property. How many crooks have told the judge "I didn't know where it came from" as if that excuses the crime?
It's truly shameful when an otherwise honorable man (we'll assume this for now) displays the ethics of a child.
If you go to his web site he brags about flying a unarmed F-4 over Kuwait to take sensitive political pictures.What kind of Moron flies into a war zone "unarmed"?There is no mention of him earning AIR MEDALS in either Vietnam or Kuwait.Maybe his commander sent him up to get rid of him. ARMED PILOTS FOR THE TRUTH

is it really plagerism if it is a moron stealing the words of an idiot?
""I want to know how these very people who are against war because of loss of life can possibly be the same people who are for abortion?" Gibbons said. "They are the same people who are for animal rights, but they are not for the rights of the unborn."
Oh, I see - you can't terminate a pregnancy, but waiting till the fetuses are born and at 18 or 19 sending them off to die in a senseless war is hunkey-dorey.
This guy is fucking nuts - all these fucktards are nuts!
"HIPPIES?

No, it's those fucking beatniks.
Damn hepcats!
