Listen to this clip of John Stossel calling RFK Jr. an imbecile.

“But, you know, I guess you can’t deny that the globe has warmed. Climate changes. It’s warmed a little. The issue is, is it a bad thing? It may be a good thing.”
Who the fuck is the imbecile?
“The most respected scientific bodies have stated unequivocally that global warming is occurring, and people are causing it by burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down forests. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which in 2005 the White House called ‘the gold standard of objective scientific assessment,’ issued a joint statement with 10 other National Academies of Science saying ‘the scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action. It is vital that all nations identify cost-effective steps that they can take now, to contribute to substantial and long-term reduction in net global greenhouse gas emissions.’
The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue as a result of heat-trapping emissions. Scientists have given a clear warning about global warming, and we have more than enough facts — about causes and fixes — to implement solutions right now.” - Environmental Defense

I was reading a post over at Bilerco.com about the dishonesty of a right winger:
“Over on the American Values Alliance site some folks you might know have come to the defense of AVA (and bilerico.com!) contributor Sheila Suess-Kennedy.
You might remember that Sheila wrote a post for bilerico that she turned into a column for the Indianapolis Star entitled “Sex, Lies and Politics.” The well-written column was reprinted on several blogs and made the round of mailing lists. However, out-of-state wingnut Chris Stovall penned a reply letter to the Star called “Get facts straight on same-sex issue” that insinuated Sheila was violating ethical rules governing Indiana attorneys with her opinion. Of course, this simply isn’t true and is yet another tactic in the far-right’s arsenal of dirty tricks.”
Apparently google Ads thinks so too:
Finally, a man who gets the the whole Edwards blogger thing. Craig Richardson knows the source of true feminism, the virgin Mary.
“While these two women were clearly selective in hand picking the worst of the e-mails they received, I too was horrified by the level of hatred put forth by those who purport to defend the Church and the pro-life cause.”
How dare they use negative emails to prove their point! I’m sure they somehow made this all up.
“I find it ironic as these two women left their post on the campaign to continue ‘defending the rights of women,’ whatever that means, Pope Benedict XVI dedicated his Wednesday public audience to highlighting the essential role women have played in Church history”
Because the Pope knows what’s best for women, more than women do… he’s da Pope, after all.
“These great contributors to Christianity didn’t view their femininity and ability to rear children as a curse but people who God had handpicked for a unique and saving role for humanity.”
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Melissa or Amanda ever say that the ability to give birth was a curse, but I’m sure they think it, because they’re both foul mouthed lesbian snatchomites.
“According to the Vatican Information Service (VIS), the Pope today said: ‘The history of Christianity would have developed quite differently without the generous contribution of many women’…and he recalled how John Paul II had written: ‘The Church gives thanks for each and every woman … for all the manifestations of the feminine “genius”.’
Because feminine and masculine “genius” are different. “Go bake me a pie, genius!”
“I actually feel sorry for Amanda and Melissa. They will never realize their true femininity and its awesome power if they continue to be mired in this failed and dying philosophy of radical feminism that has trapped so many women of my generation.”
Ya, you dumb bitches! Get back in the kitchen, make me a pie, and squirt out a couple of kids while your at it! Feel the awesome power of Jesus as contractions rock your uterus! Those poor trapped women that have chosen not to learn to make pies and squirt babies out their uterus. And to think they want equal pay for equal work! Sheesh, they’re so stupid, they don’t even know what they’re missing out on. Here I thought feminine meant a characteristic of or appropriate or unique to women. Hell, it must mean pies and babies.
“As the Virgin Mary so beautifully demonstrated, being truly feminine doesn’t mean being subservient to anyone except for almighty God.”
I don’t think I recieved the updated bible without Ephesians 5:23 in it. “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”
God punished you for a reason, ya apple eating whores. Please, just remember your place, pie’s and baby squirts… bitches.

A FUCKING BLIZZARD!

COME ON SUMMER!
According to Amanda’s site:
“To correct misinformation in the comments, I was not “fired”. I offered my resignation and it was accepted.” - Amanda via her blog, Pandagon.net
Amanda was one of the bloggers hired to blog for the John Edwards campaign. GlennSacks wrote:
“Though Marcotte has been very critical of the men’s movement (and of yours truly), I think she is a talented writer, and I like her personally. But Marcotte is a foul-mouthed radical feminist, which is an odd blogger-in-chief for a presidential candidate. I predicted that she would be a ‘fodder-rich target for Edwards’ enemies.’ This has now begun.”
It’s easy to smear her with labels, but when you look at what they claim is radical…
1. “The Republicans are a Misogynistic, Homophobic, Racist Party”
Um. Duh? The Republicans stand on womens reproductive rights, civil rights, and gay rights are obvious.
2. NASCAR is an Emblem of Southern White Supremacism
Oh, no… that’s total bullshit. Why Nascar’s a fuckin’ melting pot!
3. Christian Supporters of Israel Hate Muslims, Seek the End of the World…
4. …But Are Still Eager to Kill Off Some Jews, As Well
DUH?
5. The Crucifixion of Christ Makes Fundamentalists Yearn To Torture Muslims
“The paradox was this—how can anybody look at the figure of Christ on the cross and think that’s anything but a condemnation of torture? For the thinking person, it clearly is. But for the fundamentalist, that image creates anxiety about death and makes them cling to their hierarchical values even more, and those values include the belief that Muslims are inferior, not-saved, and eligible for torture. They’re going to hell anyway, by the fundie logic, and why should god get all the fun of punishing them and making them suffer?”
George Bush is a Christian, no? He approved of torture! If I remember correctly, he also uttered the words “holy war.”
6. Religion Is Bad For Society, and Charity is an Excuse To Harm the Weak
“The favorite defense of religion, even the more odious Bible-thumping kinds, is that it’s a great source of charity and has a positive overall impact on society. I’m skeptical, particularly for reasons like the above where the actual behavior of religious people, particularly the hardcore ones, demonstrates a pattern of using religious charity as a way to bolster tribalism, create damaging hierarchies, and leave the neediest members of society out in the cold.”
- Amanda at Pandagon.net
Who can forget this?
“A California-based ministry that reaches out to the persecuted Church worldwide is helping believing residents of war-torn Iraq as they prepare to celebrate the first Christmas since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Open Doors International is distributing 50,000 Christian-themed coloring books to Iraqi children, and early next year children’s Bible story books will be printed for distribution in Iraq. Devotional materials for adults are being selected as well and are scheduled to be distributed next year. The ministry is also supporting the training of Iraqi Sunday School teachers.
Now that the tyrannical rule of Hussein is definitively over, Open Doors is making efforts to take advantage of the current climate of openness and relative religious freedom in Iraq. Although the nation’s future is uncertain, some Christian leaders are suggesting that this period in the history of the liberated but still embattled Iraq may be a window of opportunity for Church growth and the spread of the gospel.” - Agape Press
I guess truth is radical notion.
My friend Jennifer sent me this in an old school Fwd. I found it on youtube…
enjoy.
