We're Gonna Need A Bigger Bus...

Again!

The Spineless One tosses yet another drone under the bus:

Glenn Beck has struck again.

Yosi Sergant, who recently popped up on Beck's radar for his involvement in a conference call on national service, has been asked to resign as communications director by the National Endowment for the Arts, sources familiar with the move tell the Huffington Post.

At issue was an August conference call in which the NEA encouraged select artists to participate in an administration project dubbed "United We Serve" and led by the first lady.

Beck attacked Sergant and the NEA on his Fox News talk show, accusing the agency of propaganda efforts similar to those used by Nazi Germany. And now Sergant has been tossed overboard, making him Beck's second victim in his campaign to rid the administration of perceived radicals, socialists, communists, fascists, anarchists and all other manner of nefarious influences.

You know what? If you're the President of the fuckin' United States and you can't handle Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, you have no business being the President of the fuckin' United States.

Period.

Maybe we can set up sort of a prisoner exchange program: rightfully accused Obama Administration members for wrongfully accused CIA interrogators.

rightfully accused Obama Administration members for wrongfully accused CIA interrogators.

Oh, absolutely. Because officials who make inappropriate requests of NEA grant recipients are the moral equivalent of those who violate the Geneva Convention and federal law by: torturing people, disappearing them to black sites with no recourse to counsel or even the Red Cross, and denying them an opportunity to defend themselves from the crimes of which they are suspected.

The real problem is that he can't seem to either defend them or fire them. Zero, zip, nada.

What the hell is he going to do if a trade war heats up between China and us over steel tarrifs? Probably vote present.

[PeterUK]

Yosi Sergant has not resigned. He has just left to spend more time with Van Jones.

[Mona]

Oh and Dennis, about this: You know what? If you're the President of the fuckin' United States and you can't handle Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, you have no business being the President of the fuckin' United States.

It is not just Obama. With a few significant exceptions, the whole Democratic Party is petrified of right-wing demonization, no matter how nutz the latter becomes. Most of the craven Dems modify positions accordingly. Which is why you find many civil libertarians like me who voted for Obama hissing and pissing at him.

But do note -- it is not as if most of us believed he'd necessarily deliver (and he surely has not, for the greatest part). It is just that for us, short of a wasted 3rd party vote, there was no alternative.

[PeterUK]

Mona,you voted for Obama with this shed load of Marxists?

The Dhimmicrats are petrified of being "demonized" by Glenn Beck? Oh, give me a break! This is the same crew who referred to anti-ObamaCare people as "astroturfers" and "unAmerican"?

Then it's time for all of the Dhimmicrats to get a back bone. Or stop projecting, and debate with those of us opposed to ObamaCare.

This is on the same level as the Rush Limbaugh versus Obama spectacle a few months ago. You'd think those characters in the White House would learn from that. But, no, they're the "most rigid, blinkered, and unimaginative souls" one can ever hope to meet.

[PeterUK]

Amazing those Democrats,frightened of being demonised,Alinsky must be rolling in his grave,so gullible that a hick president and a backwoods girl can fool them,makes you wonder how so many of them became multimillionaires.

I've made an exception thus far here, but I find that epithet so mind-boggling moronic, I may start ignoring anyone who employs it here as well.

Now, as for all this Obama-is-a-Marxist silliness. No, he is not. He is as wholly owned by lobbyists as are most Democrats and Republicans. Which is why you will see him sigh oh-so-heavily, and then support coerced insurance-premium payments.

Finally, there is a difference between free marketeerism and corporatism. Steadily, this nation is moving in the direction of corporatism.

Mona I ignored you from when you started parroting Saturday Night Live skits against Palin.

For some who claims to self-identify as a libertarian for her entire adult life, AND is "pissed" at Obama, you sure do defend him and the Dhimmicrats a whole lot. One could even say "exclusively".

As for "Dhimmicrats"......I started using that when they wanted to turn and run in Iraq, back B.O. ("Before Obama"), pretty much handing Iraq over to the Islamic terrorists. It fit then, and it fits today. Want to ignore me? Happens all the time. Besides, the flip side for freedom of speech is the freedom to ignore. Who am I to complain, being the Tenther that I am?

Note, I'd say "Rethuglicans" if it were true. But it ain't, so I won't.

Also: Obama is all but a Marxist in name. Look at whom he associates with: Ayers, Van Jones, and others. Close your eyes if you like, Mona. I won't.

Finally, there is a difference between free marketeerism and corporatism. Steadily, this nation is moving in the direction of corporatism.

Absolutely. And I don't doubt that we are, thanks in equal portions to the Republicans and Dhimmicrats. The only real differences between the two is that the Republicans are opting for privately held corporations, and Dhimmicrats want government controlled corporations.

Of the two, privately held corporations is barely more acceptable than outright facisim.

Mona, if you've got evidence for that, you should call Mr. Holder immediately.

Otherwise you need to realize that your rote recital of tired lefty cant while yelling, "I'm a libertarian! I'm a libertarian!" is getting a bit threadbare.

[Mona]

Ok, enough have made it clear my contributions are unwanted. So it goes. And I know, I won't let the door hit my butt on the way out.

Communists are never a good option for a Republic.

How can you tell if you elected a communist, you ask?

It's easy. If there WAS an officer of a publicly held company that was FIRED by the government... you've got communist winds blowing through your forest.

Oh, and if he grew up mentored by communists, went to school with communists, associated with communists AND terrorists, and has recruited communists, eugenicists, eco terrorists, and the CREAM of America's Left wing thuggery to enact a program of "spreading the wealth"...

... he's a communist. With a plan. And goals and shit. And there are people that will excuse ANY assault on individual freedoms, any excess of power, because they are trained to blurt "right wing demonization" after any body dare point out the history, the writings, the actions, and most importantly, the stated goals of The Won.

He's no Muslim. There's no submission there. Take that to the bank.

I used to joke that everybody should live through their own Seventies.

Jokes on me, I guess.

I agree.

We should be doing to them what the Geneva Convention allows when combatants that have no uniforms are captured.

Shoot them out of hand.

What was it Uncle Joe Stalin said? "No man, no problem."

[TmjUtah]

Hey hey hey - I bet The Won could get this vintage Uncle Joe fill-in-the-blank in one try:

___ _____ is a tragedy. A million, just a _________.

[Uncle Fester]

Ooohh!!! I know the answer! Pick me, pick me!

Mona. We don't want you to go,we just want the libertarian viewpoint.

Sorry, not true. The Zero's mouthpiece says he wasn't aware of it, therefore it didn't happen.
