Clarence Page: O'Donnel was right

I don't want to step on Clarence's toes here:

It turns out, if you want to get technical in a way that makes late-night college dormitory arguments go on forever, O'Donnell was correct. In fact, it is a well-worn talking point on the religious right, in particular, that the phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the Constitution.

MoveOn, SteppedOn

By now, everyone has seen this video of MoveOn member Lauren Valle being taken down by Rand Paul supporters.



What you probably haven't seen is the event leading up to it:


So Lauren shoved her sign into the window of a moving car, and in response, Rand Paul supporters were keeping tabs on her.
That's why in the first video you can literally hear Rand Paul supporters calling for the police as they take down Lauren.

There are a few issues that I want to address with this. The first one being the assertion that Lauren's head was stomped on. That's just not true.
I have still frames from the video to prove it.

In the middle image, I copied the shape and size of her head from the 3rd frame, and overlapped it with center image. That's why it appears white.
So point #1 was that she had rushed his car earlier, trying to put a sign through it.
Point #2 is that she wasn't 'stomped' on the head. As this series of images show, he was stepping on her shoulder when she rotated her shoulder forward. His foot stays on her shoulder, but doesn't hit her head.

Reports from news outlets say that she received a concussion from this. I'm not sure how. But I digress.

My final point is about how members of the left have said that this is 'typical' of Tea Party behavior, and how the Tea Party is made of thugs.
Which pisses me off, considering the make up of these videos.

This one is from the Town Hall meetings on health care. You remember those? The ones where democrats felt that if you disagreed, you should be ejected from the 'open' meetings, and slapped around.
As in this case:




Then there was the guy who cold cocked a Tea Party protestor...


But by far, my worst example of violence against the Tea Party movement is this one. Please watch.


Kenneth Gladney was supposed to get his day in court with his attackers on October 27th. I can't find any news of it, anywhere... but I'll keep looking.

In the meantime, Lauren is being supported by everyone from Media Matters to Think Progress as a useless victim who just happened to be wandering through a crowd of thugs when she was attacked.
I beg of you, for the sake of context, to share the video of Lauren pushing her sign through the window of that moving car.
She's an idiot. Not a victim.

Tea Party members with Nazi signs

Okay. Its not actually Tea Party members.
Its democratic operatives making fun of Palin and Beck

According to Politico's report:

Whew. If they screened out both Republicans and the ugly people, there wouldn't be any one left.

Christopher Coates testimony on the Black Panther case

This really is riveting.
I'm not kidding.
Please watch this.


Please watch it. Christopher Coates was under pressure from the DOJ not to testify. He did anyway, as someone who worked for the Voter Rights division.
Coates testimony is that there were people inside of the DOJ who felt that Voter Intimidation cases should not be pursued if the victim is white. Furthermore, when the Obama administration took over the DOJ, they promoted those people into positions of power. Coates was then told that he should only pursue 'traditional' Voter Rights intimidation cases, which he understood as being where a non-white person was the victim.

Bill Maher: "Almost all" of the opposition to Barack is racist

I used to be a big Bill Maher fan. I mean a huge one.
I loved watching his show as he went on to challenge the bloated whales of the world, and poke fun at everyone with an equal amount of spite. Somewhere along the way, Bill became extremely hateful of Christians. In this interview, he says that what he likes about the president is that he doesn't seem to rely on his faith too much.
Yet, that's kinda what the president has been saying for a while, as in this example.

This leads me to why I don't like Bill Maher anymore. He's failing to question authority. In fact, he's protecting it... all the while making fun of the underdogs. In this case, the Tea Party.
In this interview, Maher actually accuses 'almost all' of the opposition to Barack to be based in racism.
Bill, you are an asshat.


I say that with all sincerity. I cannot stand people who cannot just think critically and listen. Its not like conservatives have a reason to suddenly be interested in a liberal president or his policies.
I get that Bill is a little bitter at conservative women who were on his panel, and who wouldn't sleep with him, and why he's pursuing them with all of his bitter glee. I don't like it, but I've seen guys like that before.
I get why Bill doesn't trust religious people for the same reason. Bill travels with the Playboy set, and I imagine that crosses really are one of the biggest turn-offs for him, since Christian women tend to say 'no' more often.
But I'll never get why he's fallen into playing the race card. Its a real easy way to make people like me actually disrespect him more. Its proof that he is just angry at conservatives, and can't open his mind long enough to listen to what we are saying. That's a damn shame.
