Hah!

Duffman

ANYthing for a laugh, eh Steph. Very classy indeed.

sparky

Not only funny...but true!

"Malkin was born in Philadelphia to Rafaela, a schoolteacher, and Apolo, an aspiring doctor, both Philippine citizens who had arrived in the U.S. earlier that year. At the time, her father was a physician-in-training with an employer-sponsored visa."

Indeed.

Bill

And what part of what she said wasn't true?

Malkin and her ilk had best beware of glass houses.

Duffman

You mean the 'glass houses' that SO MANY politicians live in? ...and please don't make me list them.

KS

Ad nauseum is the workd. Spot on, Duffman.

Andrew

It's obvious that some groups of people haven't become any less racist over of the past fifty years. They don't see it as a fundamentally inferior way of thinking, they just think it's something they have to hide.

Rachel Maddow made a good point (obviously); if police don't identify a potential illegal immigrants by race, what do they identify them by? It's tacit racial profiling and it's institutional racism. It will result in fully legal Latino-Americans being harassed by cowboy hat wearing cops of the white persuasion, for no other reason than being the wrong race at the wrong time. Most Americans recognize that this is racist, and it's not right.

I've known for some time that conservatism was on the way out. I've mentioned it here numerous times over the years. This dip in Republican popularity that picked up speed in 2006 is not just another cycle, it's a correction of the over-xenophobic reaction that resulted from the 9-11 attacks, and that reactionism has passed. Most Americans really want to see progress, and now they're getting it.

We're seeing what was true conservatism distill into libertarianism, tea baggers and Ron Paul worshippers, very weak and disjointed political movements, even less significant than the green party. Republicans will recover because they're the only real alternative anyone has, but it will be a remarkably more liberal party when everything is said and done. They will embrace the socialism, the medicare, the social security, that so many of them benefit from as we speak.

Obama is a black man

Buyer's Remorse?

1. Still in Iraq(where are all the I-5 protesters I used to see?)

2. Still in Afghanistan (where are all the I-5 protesters I used to see?)

3. Still in Guantanamo

4. Dismal economy

5. Gas over 3 bucks

6. No jobs

7. Debt requiring 3 generations to pay

8. Corrupt healthcare plan passed to please the lobbysists and special interests

9. Lucky near miss of Delta airline bombing over Detroit

10. Oil disaster with poor/late government response

Freedom 1/20/13!

Duffman

...and don't forget, market at 9,500 in November of 2010...I'm betting on it because of your hot tip.

Obama is a black man

I guarantee the market will be at 9,500 or lower in November of 2010.

Sovereign debt, consumer debt, no housing recovery and a dismal global recovery will lead us to this significant correction.

Mitch McConnell is a white cracker

Constipated GOP response?

1. Republicans still supporting the invasion in Iraq(where are all their sons and daughters?)

2. Republicans still supporting the invasion in Afghanistan (where are all their sons and daughters?)

3. Soon to be out of Guantanamo(this talk was verboten under Herr Bush)

4. Economy on it's way back

5. Gas has been more stable under our president but you guys said the previous president has nothing to do with gas prices.

6. Jobs coming back, just none for racists and lazy rightwingers.

7. Debt being paid down, GM just made a large payment towards their loan.
8. Healthcare plan passed which was the GOP' Waterloo.

9.Terrorist caught in Detroit by better trained staff, unlike 9/11 which killed thousands.

10. Oil spill taken over by the government after BP lied about the amount and botched response.

One more term 1/20/13!

KS

LMAO !

Puget Sound

KS, that's just one of the 'usual suspects' doing the posting.

Delusion is Coils coping mechanism.

And poor Andrew, starts off with a conclusion then tries to find a rationale to support it. Doesn't work that way, Andy. Looks like you'll have to repeat Logic 102 this summer.

Oh Sparkles, I hate it when you misstate the facts. Lucky for you I am here to keep you honest.
The term 'Anchor Baby' is something that is applied to illegal immigrants. Her family was here legally. What a maroon...

Jeez, few sane people are against legal immigration. And to get a Doctor and a School Teacher in the bargain is a wonderful thing for this country.

B-Man

Just more hate speech and lies from the left.

Michelle's parents were already legal residents long before Michelle was born, and what made that easier was the fact that from 1898-1946, the Phillipines was a commonwealth of the United States which means before, during, and after the war, Filipinos were legally American nationals. (And her Grandfather fought under General MacArthur).

Why does the left want so badly to subvert the sovereignty of our nation? Joanie?

The Glenn Beck Comedy Tour 2009

Our nation isn't a sovereignty, Bogus.

Hasn't been since it became a country.

Dori

Republican chickens coming home to roost and all they can find is oil. Poor things.

Europe has a law that all drilling rigs have automatic shut offs. That's asking too much of American corporations. So, let's all watch these resident republicans (Joanie's nemesis chucks?) head off to his stock broker to make another killing off this disaster. I'm sure oil stock will be rising.

Right, Chucks?


I wonder if Bobby Jindal is going to take Obama's money? Let's all watch and see.

G-Man

Hey B-Man! Your head is up your ass! Her father was on a work visa. They were not citizens!

sparky

Oh good frickin' grief. It was a JOKE!!! You obviously never listen to Stephanie--90% of everything she does is a joke. All your harumphing about it makes ME laugh, however.
I guess I have to post "j/k" from now on...

Sheriff Joe down in AZ has announced he might run for governor..ignoring the fact that its May and kinda late to build up a successful campaign. Probably just wants the publicity. But if he wins, I hope they build the Great Wall of Arizona, so we can keep them all in one spot.

Oh Sparkles, if it was a joke, why did you say it was funny but true?

Still driving that Dodge I see...

sparky

Never mind, putsie...it went over your head. But I look forward to you filing it away and then dragging it out months from now when you think you are making a point.

Duffman

When someone 'schools' you on something - the proper response is 'thanks, you've enlightened me'. Where on earth is your proper home training. My goodness!

Puget Sound

thanks Duff. as Nevets said long ago, 'sparkles is shifty with the truth.'

but yeah, it's fun schooling the the usual suspects...LMAO

KS

Sparkles is lacking in home training as are the rest of the usual suspects. Being shifty with the truth is another symptom of poor home training.

Our nation isn't a sovereignty, Bogus.

Hasn't been since it became a country.

Posted by: The Glenn Beck Comedy Tour 2009 | April 30, 2010 at 05:10 PM

Some of these comments are so unbelievably dog lame and stupid that they don't even merit a response.

I saw a new but effective bumper sticker today; "Green is today's Red (showing the Hammer and sickle).

Obama is a black man

BREAKING

National Enquirer and Drudge Report are reporting that a tape exists of evidence of an affair between Obama and Vera Baker. Could bring down his presidency.

Developing

Dori

So, the bullies have succeeded in bullying away the only civil liberal left on this blog. Congratulations bullies.

KS

I'll believe the video of BO having an affair when I see it. If the National Enquirer doesn't back off this story, it is a distinct possibility.

What would it do to his presidency that hasn't been done already ? The only thing I could see is that it would show him to be a bigger liar than he is already known to be and seal his future as an OTP (one term president), which is not all bad.

The one thing it would do is devastate the family, which would be sad. Cynically, I sensed that the clean family life that the corrupt media played up seemed too good to be true with the rest of his actions that frequently belie what he says.
No doubt, I would rather have either Clinton as President.

joanie

What would it do...

The only thing I could see is that it would show him to be a bigger liar ...

The one thing it would do is devastate...

Umm, Klueless, that's two things.


I sensed ...

Which sense did you use?

Obama is a black man

If a video emerged we would see a fall from grace a la Tiger Woods.

The perfect facade would be revealed as a fraud.

KS

I meant to say things. I used my sixth sense. Keeping it civil for a change ?

joanie

Your sixth sense? I always thought you a bit odd. Thanks for the evidence. You and George Noory. I'm laughing. Thanks.

Civil? I'm never civil. To bullies? Let's be serious.

Jason Andersen

Let me just say, FTR, that Steph has arguably the best show in syndicated/commercial national radio. And I don't come to that conclusion because of her politics, but rather if the talk medium is entertainment and theater for the mind. It's a personal and kinda anecdotal judgment that I come to based on what shows keep me listeining for the longest duration of time and which shows make me laugh out loud; otherwise, I am gonna listen to NPR/BBC. BTW, Rush and Savage can put on an excellent show, too, in just the broadcast sense, but the bigger they've gotten and the more serious they take themselves, the more obnoxious they become to listen to. Of course, I seldom agree with their politics either.

Anyway, I was listening live to Steph's comment about Michelle Malkin, and I really didn't like it--mostly because in real time, it didn't sound that funny.

Now, on this very web site someone published a picture of some creature a few months and compared it to Ms. Malkin's nether regions. THAT WAS FUNNY!!!

Puget Sound

Civil? I'm never civil. To bullies? Let's be serious.

Posted by: joanie | April 30, 2010 at 09:56 PM

ph(J)oanie, you are the definition of a bully. you lash out, make fun of the misfortune of others who lose their job/name-call and when you get some back the first instinct is to whine about it.
the classic bully: you dish it out but can't take it when someone stands up to you. opie taylor taught that lesson years ago.


that's why ks/chucks/duffman have made you look so foolish.

KS

In addition, she has failed to answer a simple question I put to hear about her political leanings because she believes the O is not decisive enough. It can be concluded that she realizes if she honestly answered, it would make her look like too much of an extremist. This goes against her agenda of being shifty with the truth, as is her less extreme cohort, Sparkles.

Joanie must be very flattered by receiving all of this kind of attention. She loves to apply ridicule to those who disavow her philosophy, so one good turn deserves another...

KS

corrected grammar:

In addition, she has failed to answer a simple question I asked her directly about her political leanings because she believes the O is not decisive enough.

joanie

You get called out as bullies and take it out on me? I love that. Just shows the level of stupidity of you guys.

And I said it myself: Civil? I'm never civil. To bullies? Let's be serious.

What didn't you understand about that?

Go get brain transplants.


And klueless, my political leanings couldn't be more obvious. Good lord, you need two transplants! The cavity between your ears must be so large and vacuous, your gray matter is bouncing around like ping pong balls in those lottery machines.

Coiler

Joanie, they should be attacking their own party, if they have one left anymore. I'm not even sure what party disaffected, over 40 white guys belong to. The Cyanide party?

KS

"my political leanings couldn't be more obvious. Good lord, you need two transplants!"

Ph(J)oanie - Without you saying it, I have read between the lines and you are a proud left wing extremist...

Coils - You are a member of the cyanide party - look at yourself in the mirror and read the garbage you mindlessly spew.

I am an independent and these days I vote for the lesser of the evils and I don't vote for R's exclusively.. That typically results in not voting for anyone representing the party of slavery, gun control and big government (the party with the D after their name. That couldn't be more obvious.
I'd rather vote for a libertarian

Coiler

I look at myself, I'm still young and hopeful. Not full of the country last and 'hope he fails' mentality. Try being opinionated instead of informed. You'll have more business at City Hall soon.

joanie

You had to "read between the lines" to figure out I'm a true and proud progressive? Really? Really?

You are so smart, klueless. Really.

I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type: I am an independent...but I don't vote for democrats. You should try comedy, klueless.

KS

Ph(J)oanie - you think you are smart, but you get a D- in reading comprehension. I said that I typically do not vote for Democrats- if you go back and read. I do not associate with the Republican Party, because they are the Democrat-lite party. They still expand government, which means they are devious in saying what they stand for, no different than Dims.

I would trust a libertarian or conservative who ran as a libertarian or independent more than a Republican today and I would have said the same in 2008.

If I were you, Ph(J)oanie - I'd stick to your day job and stay away from comedy, because your humor is too sick and not funny.

joanie

Keep 'splainin' klueless.

I can't stay away from comedy, klueless. What would I do without my daily laughs from your posts?

KS

Back at ya, Ph(J)oanie - your posts would be hilarious if we didn't know you were deadly serious and trying to cloak it as the truth. No need for a further explanation.

One thing I'll give you credit for, you know the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals playbook - I'll expect you to ask what rules you are using even though you are familiar with it. You try and use it every chance you get - except now others that you have used it on are using it back at you. It is fun isolating and ridiculing you after you attack first. Fun and games.

joanie

trying to cloak it as the truth.

I'm laughing again. What the hell does that mean? What is "it?" Do you know what it is?


I'll expect you to ask what rules you are using even though you are familiar with it. You try and use it every chance you get - except now others that you have used it on are using it back at you.

Does anyone have a clue what klueless is trying to say here? He must be a socialist because this sounds like socialism to me.

Coiler

Buckley praised Alinsky. Are the neo conservatives today against Buckley?

Posted by: Coiler | May 01, 2010 at 10:33 AM

KS, that sure 'splains Coils, Andrew, and Sparkles in a nutshell. Yep, why be INFORMED when you can be OPINIONATED. LMAO
Just blathering away...Coils, going by your postings I can see you live by the Opinion over Information angle. We have an unemployment rate around 10 percent; Greece, Spain and Portugal are imploding over debt; and Iran is about to get its nuclear weaponry. Meanwhile, our President has managed to insult one of our best allies, Israel. And you actually think this will turn out well come November for Democrats...keep drinking deeply from the 'kookaide' as it will all be over soon.

which Buckley, there are a passel of 'em out there. and lets see the quote. and don't be doing the trolling bait and switch as practiced by sparkles. you know the, when i said it was 'true' i meant it was 'false' game. reminds one of the voters who loved the man that kept telling us, '...it depends upon what the meaning of is, is.'

You're the expert on pondering your navel. Keep pondering.

it goes without saying, chucks is right.
