Who cares that you "saved" 25 jobs when you lose almost 700,000! I guess when you invest your soul you have no choice but to go down with the ship. As we continue to hear how rosey life is, certainly it goes without saying how Carter themed things are sounding. Of course, many economic journalist are suggesting the times are more simialr to Hoover.” 5:41:40 PM 5/08/09 “It's the new New Deal Cornmeal! Only ten more years to go and we'll be out of the woods! :P” 6:33:57 PM 5/08/09 “You phuckheads sucked Dubya's dik for eight years and now you've gotten your reward. Now wipe your chin. ” 7:05:08 PM 5/08/09 “Poor little t*ltypoo is so bitter. lol” 8:22:05 PM 5/08/09 “It's the new New Deal Cornmeal! Only ten more years to go and we'll be out of the woods! :P” Nigal 9:33:57 PM 5/08/09 only ten more years if we're "lucky enough" to have a world war to actually pull us out of any portion of this unpresidented government deficit spending.” 10:27:10 PM 5/08/09 “It's like Keith Moon wrecking a hotel suite so you blame housekeeping and the guy who replaces the carpet.... and the window glass.... and patches all the holes in the walls. ” 7:50:46 AM 5/09/09 8:33:16 PM 5/09/09 “ ”9:23:24 PM 5/09/09 “It's like Keith Moon wrecking a hotel suite so you blame housekeeping and the guy who replaces the carpet.... and the window glass.... and patches all the holes in the walls. ” Tllt 10:50:46 AM 5/09/09 it's more like keith moon wrecking a hotel suite and housekeeping wrecking four more of them "just because he did"” 8:34:36 AM 5/10/09 “Just because you phucked up and put those people in office, don't blame us. Credit where credit is due ----” 8:50:55 AM 5/10/09 “i'm not afraid to say i didn't like things the last admin did. i'm also not afraid to say i don't like anything the current one has done so far.” 9:03:32 AM 5/10/09 “Those who voted for The Dubyanator can't be held responsible. They are like lab rats trained to go for the feeding tube and most of them never realize what they've been fed anyway.” 11:23:41 AM 5/10/09 “right, we're all mindless drones.” 2:12:30 PM 5/10/09 “ ”3:05:08 PM 5/10/09 “You've got to admit there *are* some drones running around loose.” 3:20:19 PM 5/10/09 “ ”3:27:23 PM 5/10/09 “I didn’t really expect anything from NBC but I cannot find anything about the Janeane Garofalo/Olbermann interview in the NYT, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, CBS, or ABC. Especially after reading a book on silence and denial, I find this issue fascinating. Can somebody help me out here? The Boston Globe downplayed the whole racist, redneck, brain damaged rant nicely: "Garofalo, in town for the Alternative Comedy Festival, caused a stir among conservatives last month when she called tax protestors, also known as tea baggers, racists on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.” Despite nasty e-mails and blog posts vowing to wreak havoc during her appearance, the New Jersey-born actress (“24”) played to a nearly full audience that eagerly awaited her trademark glib observations and frankness." I love the part where poor Janeane got “nasty emails.” “Like silence, denial involves active avoidance. Rather than simply failing to notice something, it entails a deliberate effort to refrain from noticing it. Furthermore, it usually involves refusing to acknowledge the presence of things that actually beg for attention, thereby reminding us that conspiracies of silence revolve not around those largely unnoticeable matter we simply overlook but, on the contrary, around those highly conspicuous matters we deliberately try to avoid.” The Elephant in the Room (Silence and Denial in Everyday Life) - pg 9. Eviatar Zerubavel – Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University. “Yet what we notice and what we discuss with others is socially delineated not only by normative pressures to suppress certain information from our awareness or at least refrain from acknowledging its presence, but also by political restraints. Power, after all, involves the ability to control the scope of the information others can access as well as what they pass on and thus promotes various forms of blindness, deafness, and muteness. I therefore examine different ways of controlling the scope of other’s attention, from formal censorship to informal distraction tactics. In addition, I look at different forms of controlling the scope of their discourse, from formal agenda-setting procedures to informal codes of silence. I also try to highlight the collaborative nature of conspiracies of silence, noting how each conspirator’s actions are symbiotically complimented by the others’. And I examine the factors that make them more effective, showing that the pressure towards silence gains momentum as the number of those who conspire to maintain it increases, the longer it lasts, and when the very act of denial is itself denied.” The Elephant in the Room (Silence and Denial in Everyday Life) - pg 15. Eviatar Zerubavel – Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University. last edited: 5/10/09 5:26:46 PM” 6:06:10 PM 5/10/09 “Yes, the good ol' days , when whites rode the world taking rights from non-whites, but now, the non-whites seem to be taking the wrongs away from the whites. It just ain't fair, eh?” 7:44:11 AM 5/11/09 “While we are on the nasty quotes. Wanda Sykes: “Rush Limbaugh Was the 20th Hijacker But He Was Just So Strung Out on Oxycontin he Missed his Flight”” 8:00:41 AM 5/11/09 “Welcome to America, macacliff.” 8:00:48 AM 5/11/09 “"I also try to highlight the collaborative nature of conspiracies of silence, noting how each conspirator’s actions are symbiotically complimented by the others’." Class Action Character Assassination........Brilliant!! (C.A.C.A.)” 8:21:33 AM 5/11/09 DrunkO Approved “She then concluded: "Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." Obama seemed to think this bit was pretty hilarious, grinning and chuckling and turning to share the "joke" with the person sitting on his right. There's not much room for differing interpretations of what Sykes said. She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead. What was his crime? Hoping that Obama's policies - which he views as socialist - will fail. That's way, way beyond reasoned debate or comedy and Obama's reaction to it was astonishing. Imagine if a comedian "joked" that Obama was a terrorist who was guilty of treason and should be tortured and allowed to die. There would justifiably be an outcry. But when the "joke" comes from a liberal, Obama-supporting comedienne and the target is a right-winger then the likes of Hilary Rosen and Donna Brazile are on CNN saying it's just comedy and Limbaugh is "fair game". And Obama laughing when someone wishes Limbaugh dead? Hard to take from the man who promised a new era of civility and elevated debate in Washington.” 8:22:34 AM 5/11/09 “"She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured and wished him dead." When can we expect results?” 8:24:48 AM 5/11/09 “ ”8:27:16 AM 5/11/09 “Wanda kicked their asses up and down the block.” 8:27:33 AM 5/11/09 “Poor widdle Rush...” 8:34:51 AM 5/11/09 “Moonbats are so filled with HATE.” 8:36:24 AM 5/11/09 “What goes around comes around. Karma is a bltch, eh?” 8:39:58 AM 5/11/09 “MarkO is certainly filled with hate. The boy is loaded with dysfunction. Now he's criticizing the research of a Sociology Professor at Rutgers University without providing any information of value besides what we already know about his twisted self-image projected onto others. What an altruist. What a humanitarian.” 9:43:46 AM 5/11/09 “Poor little Flipper, nobody takes him seriously. Say, you live in Florida. Are you a member of the Shinola Tribe?” 9:58:23 AM 5/11/09 “ They call him Flipper.... Flipper.... Faster than lightning No one you see.... is smarter than he And we know Flipper Lives in a world full of wonder Flying there under, under the sea (Vars & Dunham) ” 10:13:42 AM 5/11/09 “"I didn’t really expect anything from NBC but I cannot find anything about the Janeane Garofalo/Olbermann interview in the NYT, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, CBS, or ABC. Especially after reading a book on silence and denial, I find this issue fascinating. Can somebody help me out here?" I doubt it, but you could wish in one hand and schit in the other and see which one fills up faster.” 10:27:08 AM 5/11/09 “Chief Chitfrom?” 10:29:32 AM 5/11/09 “ "He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs." "She called Limbaugh a terrorist and a traitor, suggested that he be tortured." According to some of you Lunatic Fringers "water-boarding is not torture". What's it gonna be? What ever is a moon bat to think? The collaborative nature of the conspiracy of schizophrenia is socially delineated not only by normative pressures to suppress certain information from our awareness or at least refrain from acknowledging its presence, but also by political restraints.” 10:43:49 AM 5/11/09 “Give us a break, Marko. We have these #&%!$s on ignore for a reason.” 10:48:57 AM 5/11/09 “Give us a break, Marko. We have these #&%!$s on ignore for a reason.” Tllt 1:48:57 PM 5/11/09 oh the intolerance of an obamanite.” 10:52:42 AM 5/11/09 “OK, the left says waterboarding it torture and should never be used on the countries enemies, under any circumstances. But it is ok to use it on their enemies (Limbaugh, Cheney, etc). Course it's true that the country's enemies are not the left's enemies. So I see the difference here.” 11:24:08 AM 5/11/09 “Oh, the baloney-plated indignation! Garafalo says "BOO" or picks her nose and the neo-cons flip out. If not for this thread I would have no idea what Garafalo was up to. Thanks, fellers. This is all about collective character assassination. Anyone who doesn't denounce Garafalo is a bucket of puss and Arcloon read a book that proves it. Ignorance of Garafalo's HIGH CRIMES is no excuse.” 11:32:51 AM 5/11/09 “this is all about collective character assassination. anyone who voted for bush is a lab rat that doesn't know what they were fed. disagreement with democratic party policy is no excuse.” 11:38:31 AM 5/11/09 “Marky is the master of irony isn't he. Accuse everyone else of exactly whet he and his fellow lemmings are so adept at. Thank's marky I was looking for some entertainment today and I always know you and the rest of the lefties will never let me down.” 11:38:44 AM 5/11/09 “and for the record, i couldn't really give a rats ass about garafalo's view.” 11:41:23 AM 5/11/09 “It is not character assassination to point out that repubs voted like stunned sheep for the ideologically-bound clowns who systematically wrecked the U.S. economy and dragged this country into the toilet internationally. Pointing out that people didn't raise hell about what Garafalo said(and it was all words and no action) is a weak attempt to distract attention from the damage done by the repub politicians and by extension, their loyal voters. The proof is in the pudding and the pudding is made of schit.” 12:00:59 PM 5/11/09 “right, it's ok for the goose but not for the gander, uh, i mean lab rat, er, uh, sheep. that's it. sheep edit: to add additional sarcasm to point out denial of hypocracy. last edited: 5/11/09 11:32:05 AM” 12:08:27 PM 5/11/09 “More denial........ Oh yeah, has Hannity been water-boarded yet?” 12:10:33 PM 5/11/09 “not that i know of. i'd like to see it.” 12:12:03 PM 5/11/09 “ "Lim-botomized" –– an affected mental disability caused by the incorporation of obvious rightwing-pleasing paradoxes into one's public spiel, usu. evidenced by babbling incoherencies. (as illustrated by the recent interview of Mike Pence (R-IN) by Chris "Tweety" Matthews) ” 12:54:02 PM 5/11/09 “lol. babbling incoherencies is best defined by watching gibbs talk to the media persons. is there a web vid of matthews-pence. i'm in the mood for a laugh.” 1:06:01 PM 5/11/09 “Watching Chris Matthews makes you stupid! Well, actually being a liberal makes you stupid. last edited: 5/11/09 12:40:52 PM” 1:17:46 PM 5/11/09 Liberal haters “Come on baume, NoProb, you all didn't expect anything different from the biggest hypocrites on TT, did you?
