Good news!
Code:
Susan Rice ends bid to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State
The big liar is out!

@Lamplighter: Already stated, I did not author this:

Subject: Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the United States.


That was an example of the "yellow journalism" that gun owners were seeing red about in 2009.

Sticking with the color metaphors today.

Yes you did. You are the only person who brought it to the cellar. It was not even in the article you linked to. You created it. If you heard it somewhere else, you still brought it here and attempted to tie it to the subject at hand.

Take personal responsibility for what you say.

Ian on Coast to Coast radio mentioned this Sunday late night, and said Zach has about 8 more weeks to live.

Hope you'll consider clicking over to it.
Adak, you should have put this in another thread. I just now saw it and clicked on it. There are other threads, and I think that people would appreciate a chance to see this and 'like' it.

I'm going to go put it in a video clip thread. Thanks for sharing it.

The "bullshit" was to "he tried". Nobody is denying that lots of stupid people had the FEAR. It's just that the FEAR was in response to right-wing media promoting bullshit.

Not to mention the NRA itself. If the NRA can get everyone afraid, then it can convince them to send money to the NRA to fight the good fight. Gee, I wonder why the NRA would promote those fears?

Not just the NRA, every right-wing wingnut group is pumping out tons of emails, tweets, and blog posts that are so incredibly wrong, blatant lies. Any bad news will be spun to make it Obama's fault, occasionally blame the democrats, but usually just Obama. If there's no bad news they'll conjure something up out of thin air.

I get emails that have been forwarded over and over (sometimes a hundred addresses on them), which can disproven with one quick Google search. Sometimes they even contain links that totally disprove them, but nobody bothers to click, they just forward in a rage because it says what they want to hear.

And just HOW LIBERAL are YOU?

Carlos in Ocala Florida has decided to fight in court for his civil right to have sex with his "consenting" Donkey:

http://www.ocala.com/article/2012091...CLES/120919696

Which is REALLY funny, because Conservative Roger Hedgecock (of the RH Show), said this would happen, if gay marriage rights were granted, many years ago. <ROFL!>

Well no, a long history exists of: donkey, horse, sheep, and dog fucking that has been going on since forever, it is even in the Bible(Leviticus 18: v 23
"Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it, that is a perversion. ").
Bestiality is not new, nor is it condoned the man when to jail and had is donkey taken away.

Furthermore, the whole thing that is missed in the arrangements against marriage equality is that it is NOT ILLEGAL TO ENGAGE IN HOMOSEXUALITY; everything that het married couples do homo couples to as well, they just pay hire taxes for doing it.

So really you just want a buttsex tax.

On the fiscal cliff negotiations, Obama is now engaged directly in the negotiations, but it makes no difference.

Not one penny <note the bettre spelling, you grammar Nazi's!> has been offered in spending cuts.

All the "cuts" that have been offered to date, are for cuts in the amount of deficit spending. So we continue to race into insolvency, but at a slightly slower pace.

Obama - the true liberal, will not countenance any ACTUAL spending cuts, so far.

Adek is sounding more Merc-ian all the time.

Obama is no longer a Socialist, but now is called out as a "true liberal" !
Yea ! I felt there was hope for him all along.

But how long will it be until we have a post about Obama having sex with a donkey
That post will connect the donkey, as an allegory of a consenting Democrat,
with a link to an article that Michelle is pregnant again... whether she is or not.

Culpability will be denied.... such is the adekian way

All socialists are "true" liberals, but I'd never smear Obama with a story like this one. Obama has enough to answer for, on his own.

The donkey story was just for a laugh. The real comedy is that Roger Hedgecock has been stating that this civil rights claim would be made, if the gay rights movement made progress. People have been "beating" Roger up about this prediction, for years now.

Now, here it is, just as Roger predicted. Funny stuff!

From this, it follows that all conservatives are "true" facists.

What other "true" terms shall we throw about ?

You can describe fascists as "true" ultra right wingers, on the political spectrum.

You can describe conservatives in the USA, as "true" proponents of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, as it was written - not as it's "interpreted" by the liberals.

Smaller federal government, more freedom and more responsibility for each citizen. Lower taxes, and lower spending.

Each party has the RINO's or DINO's: Republicans or Democrats In Name Only, so you have to watch out for them.
