Ablogination

Just a quick rant because…..well, just because.

We’ve written previously about WQUT 101.5 FM and what a complete and total JOKE of a “rock” station it is. It’s no secret that I think program director, John Patrick, is a corporate kiss-ass punk that doesn’t have a rock n roll bone in his body. Patrick has blacklisted artists like Neil Young and Steve Earle for making anti-war and anti-George Bush statements in the past. It’s nothing new that I consider Citadel Broadcasting to be a bunch of Right-Wing corporate trash.

I’ve even mentioned what a couple of un-funny dipshits John Boy and Billy are.

Now, I just need to state that this “Midnight Rambler” jackass who was infesting my ears moments ago is the single most ridiculous waste of air time I have ever endured. I cannot believe that this character, whoever it is, somehow managed to get a syndicated program. The voice is cornball, the fool talks too much and is really kinda embarrassing if you’re from Tennessee. Is it too much to ask that these goofballs take rock n roll music seriously instead of trying to make a mockery of the greatest genre in music history?
Just corny, weird bullshit. That’s all this clown is.

Maybe one day WQUT will actually become a real rock station that spends it’s time jamming out and digging deep into the classic rock they profess to champion. But that won’t happen until John Patrick is gone, the Midnight Retard is gone and they stop airing fucking UT Football games on Saturday nights. Who the fuck airs college football games on the one night they should be rockin’ the doors off the station?

Sad.

Ok, I’m mellow, rant over.

Just takin it easy, watching the business grow and having some of the most fun one can have reading their News based home page…

How sweet it is.

Rupert Murdoch denies any hacking, bribery role Boston Herald

Of course, if this ends with Murdoch buying his way out of it as one would expect, then this is all little more than good theater. If it ends as it should, with the total destruction of the Murdoch empire including FOX News and The Wall Street Journal, then the entire free world will reap a harvest of prevaricationless information for decades to come. The US will finally be rid of it’s primary Right Wing propaganda machine.

May this scandal drive this meddling mass of fascist excrement to his grave.

The blind leading the blind…the lame leading the lame…How many times do we have to flush before these turds go away?

Bristol Herald Courier:

Personally I think it’s hilarious that losers like Gary Delp actually believe that respectable Christian folks, who are the majority in this area, even remotely care what he and his putrid ilk say or think.

The KKK are gutless, uneducated cowards who live their pathetic lives in fear of what they are not capable of understanding…. Other people.
These blaspheming rodents are not just “racists". They are Nazis. Hell bent on dictating to even the whitest among us, like my Scots-Irish self. The exact same type of filth our fathers and grandfathers fought against in WW1 and WW2.
They soil everything they touch. The Confederate flag becomes desecrated when they commandeer it for their rallies. The very ground they stand on is rendered foreign soil by their presence.

There is nothing even remotely American, Christian, or Southern about them. They are Nazi garbage. No more no less.

Freedom of speech? Sure, they have it.
So do I.
The only good Klansman is a dead one.

No, we haven’t stopped blogging or paying attention to politics. Thanx for asking, but as you know, there is always a method to the madness at TN420…

It’s very simple, we will not blog on behalf of the Democratic party any longer. Barack Obama is a lying sack of shit who has stabbed the Liberal wing of the party in the back and laughed in our faces as we bled out on the ground. Fuck him.
Fuck Tim Kaine and the DNC too. They are also cowards of the first order.

John Edwards, Anthony Wiener…How many more pieces of shit do we have hiding in the woodwork waiting to slither out and humiliate us all once again?

No, we won’t strike so much as one key on the keyboard on behalf of the Democratic party and that goes triple for the Tennessee Democratic party. We’re tired of cowards, tired of ass-sucking drones who cower before Conservative Republican filth and their corporate masters, and tired of lying two-faced dogs like Obama, Clinton, Holder and the majority of those who call themselves Democrats.
Sure….there are still good ones. But the bigger picture is so ugly that the great ones like Pelosi, Kucinich and a few others can’t find air to breathe.

We’re done. Going back to voting for Green Party candidates exclusively.
2012? I don’t care if Obuttface has to run against Charlie Manson, I will not support him in any way whatsoever.
On the old Randi Rhodes message board I stated that if Obama stabs us in the back the way Bill Clinton did that I would never again vote Democratic. That promise is hereby kept.

May these lying, stinking, fake-ass Liberals and Progressives rot in the same hell that their Right-Wing Teabagger colleagues will. They truly deserve each other.

So…We will maintain silence where there used to be loud support. We will now turn our backs also and laugh the beleaguered Democratic party to scorn. Just as they have done to us.

Power to the fucking people.

Some days just plain suck.
So long, Gary. Thanx for everything you gave us and all that you taught us and inspired us to achieve. You are truly one of a kind, my brother. Rest in peace and love.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis.

The frustration of the Teabaggers has exploded into violence. Their Republican majority in the House has produced nothing. “Repeal Health Care” has faded to “debate and amend". Nancy Pelosi still champions the Left and the list of lies their candidates told them grows longer by the day.

Their electoral victories have yet to prove significant.

Now, like genuine Al-Qaida cowards they lash out at the innocent and defenseless.

1) Gabrielle Giffords May Leave Hospital For Home:

At least that’s what’s being reported and we sincerely hope that to be the case.
The Tea Party failed again. The intended victim lived.
They did manage to murder a nine year old girl and I’m confident they’re at least pleased with that result. Little Marxist must have deserved it, eh?

Rot in Hell where you belong, filthy pigs.

2) Spokane Terror Attack Foiled:

Police in Spokane, WA are trying to find out which Right Wing Terrorist planted an IED along the MLK Parade route. Authorities are confident, and it is most obvious, that this is a domestic terrorist plot aimed at Blacks, Liberals or both.

The IED, packed in a backpack and designed like a Claymore mine to project shrapnel in a specific direction, was left on a bench and directed toward the parade participants…

(CNN) – A backpack containing a potentially deadly device capable of inflicting “multiple casualties” was found in Spokane, Washington, along the route of a Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. parade, the FBI said Tuesday.

The device was discovered Monday morning by three parade workers before the event, FBI supervisory agent Frank Harrill told CNN. The city’s explosives disposal unit neutralized the device.

The gray backpack was placed on a bench at the northeast corner of North Washington Street and West Main Avenue in downtown Spokane, the FBI said in a statement.

Agents have leads in the case, but Harrill would not provide details on the device and the investigation, which includes a $20,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Now, let’s see…who would want to bomb a Martin Luther King day parade? “Marxists"? Don’t think so. I can’t wait to hear from the Right Wing as to how this is “not political” and “the act of one lone wacko".
Can’t wait to hear Teabaggers talk about how they’re “not racists".
Sorry, Teabaggers. No deaths for you to celebrate. Some concerned and heroic Americans put a stop to your murderous plans.

3) Oh, yes. A Teabagger he be:

In an effort to try and be a part of quelling Left-Right tensions, many moderates are embracing the lie that Jared Laughner “had no political motive". That he was “just crazy"….
If only it were so simple.

The truth is as clear as the sky above Tuscon. No amount of diversion or denial or transference will change the reality of this situation.
Our friend and world class analyst at the Washington post, Chris Cillizza, recently fell into this trap and as much respect as I have for Chris, I really have to call him on this.
His article was stopped at 88 comments so I’ll address it here…

Chris suggested that…

In the aftermath of the Jan. 8 shootings, many on the left unfairly blamed Palin for somehow inciting the gunman. (The details that have emerged since last Saturday suggest that the suspect, Jared Loughner, was deeply troubled and without any coherent political philosophy.)

Loughner was a registered Independent voter. That in it’s self indicates political participation. Factually, over 50% of Independent voters identify with the Tea Party. Loughner’s Youtube channel made it clear that he whined about “taxation without representation” and “backing the dollar with gold” and “wanting to destroy gov’t". All primary aspects of Tea Party ideology.

Naturally, there’s the fact that he tried to assassinate a politician. I’m sorry, but that kinda gives his political presence away. No?
And given the fact that he attempted to assassinate a Democratic politician, I think it clear what side he aligns with.
Were he not Right Wing, he would have shot down Jon Kyle, or some other Teabagger type.

No, Laughner’s political leanings, though perhaps not as clear as mine or yours, were very much present and he did act upon them.
He knew exactly what he was doing and who he was doing it to. And I think it important to point out that mental illness of any kind does not preclude anyone from espousing political beliefs.
Did John Wilkes-Booth have political views? Was he insane? Can a sane man commit cold blooded murder?

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan. Insane? If so, why is he serving a life sentence?

These people were political extremists. The Teabaggers are political extremists. That is an undeniable fact. Laughner is no different.
I don’t want to hear about rough childhoods. I had one too. I’ve killed no one.

I truly believe that Chris Cillizza is a fine man and one of the best analysts on the net, but this time he is wrong. I understand the desire to diffuse tensions, but not at the expense of reality.
The Tea Party, and Right-Wing media mouthpieces, promote and incite weak minds into acts of Terrorism. We see the same with Al-Qaida as they manage to persuade the intellectually challenged into blowing themselves up along with others, so there is no question that a weak, uneducated mind is easily influenced to commit acts of violence by those who know how to manipulate them.

4) Tennessee Teabagger Racists want facts removed from American History books:

LOL,

Ya know…the founding fathers were great men. They were visionaries and we owe our civilization to their intellect and courage. But the truth is the truth. There are only two ways to acquire land, by purchase or by conquest. We took this land by conquest, the least we could do is treat those we defeated with some respect for who they are and the incredible fight they put up in defense. We have not done so and that is disgraceful.

The conquest it self may also be disgraceful. But that’s the way it was done in those days and no one alive today is responsible for it.

Same with slavery. A diabolical practice regardless of chronological placement. Slavery is and always has been an abomination. Whether it was white men enslaving black men, black men enslaving white men or Egyptians enslaving Hebrews- wrong. But no one today is responsible for it. Things are as they are.

Our forefathers are humans. Guilty of both heroism and debauchery. Both traits are depicted in history’s books and now, Teabaggers want to erase the bad aspects so they can be more successful in brainwashing their kid and ours….

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Some members of the Tennessee Tea Party want to change the way history is taught in schools.

Several members met with state lawmakers and according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal they want to address: “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another.”

It goes on to say “… The things we need to focus on about the founders is that, given the social structure of their time, they were revolutionaries who brought liberty into a world where it hadn’t existed.

“A lot of textbooks teach the founding fathers were mean vicious guys who took over a country,” said Judson Phillipps, a Tea Party member.

Phillipps was not among those who met with lawmakers and does not entirely agree with their proposal for change.

“In the Tennessee curriculum, you couldn’t say anything negative about the founding fathers and that’s just nuts,” said Phillipps.

State Representative Brenda Gilmore agrees.

“I think our young people deserve to know the blemishes in our history. As well as the things we celebrate,” said Gilmore.

This prime example of catastrophic Teabagger FAIL teaches us a number of things. The Tea Party is a disgrace not only to America, with their racism and deranged terrorists, but also to the state of Tennessee and our people. There is a reason that only one Tea Party candidate won an election in Tennessee, we’re not quite as stupid as the Yankee likes to believe. We’re not stupid enough to go along with this load of horse shit either.

This is pure, nonsensical, racist lunacy bordering on blasphemy. The thing I love about facts is that God almighty created every last one of them. To say that God’s facts should be omitted from our cultural education system is simply spiritual sedition. Stupidity equaled only by instances such as burglars leaving their IDs at the scene of the crime and people smoking crack.

We, as Tennesseans, should drive these sociopaths from our state, by force if need be, like we did the KKK years ago. Lord knows they’re just as vile and expendable.

5) James Eric Fuller:

The Vietnam Vet who was a surviving victim of Teabagger assassin Jared Laughner was himself arrested for a threatening outburst against a piece of Tea Party shit who made it clear that his guns were more important than the lives of the deceased and injured.

Fuller, who was shot twice by Laughner, shouted “you’re dead” at the pig….

From The Washington Post:

TUCSON - Arizona shooting victim James Eric Fuller was arrested Saturday and taken for a psychiatric evaluation after allegedly photographing a local tea party leader at a forum organized by ABC and yelling: “You’re dead.”

According to news reports, Fuller became upset when Trent Humphries, an audience member at an event, suggested that conversations about gun control be delayed until those killed in the shooting are buried.

An officer tried to escort Fuller out, and deputies decided he needed to be examined by a psychiatrist. Fuller was involuntarily committed for a minimum of 72 hours. He is expected to be charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and threatening.

The forum - taped for a special edition of “This Week” with Christiane Amanpour - reunited victims, witnesses and emergency responders to discuss the shooting.

Fuller, 63, was shot twice in the attack that critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

Eric….I fucking feel you, bro’. But remember that retaliation would allow the Right to evade scrutiny over this assassination attempt. Don’t let them turn the page.
Retaliation is not an option at this time. I love and respect you, but keep your cool.

God help us….

It seems Liberal Bloggers aren’t the only ones who can see what happened…

A disabled Vietnam Veteran by the name of Eric Fuller was one of the wounded in the assassination attempt on Democratic Rep. Gabriele Giffords in Tuscon, AZ. It is clear to Mr. Fuller who helped incite this horrible act of politically motivated Right-Wing violence.

From Democracy Now:

H/T to TN Gorilla Women-

Tucson Shooting Survivor: “It Looks Like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the Rest Got Their First Target”

We speak with Tucson shooting survivor Eric Fuller. A 63-year-old disabled veteran, Fuller had campaigned for Arizona Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in her reelection campaign and was at the supermarket in Tucson on Saturday to meet with her. He was shot in the knee and also wounded in the back. “It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target,” Fuller says. “Their wish for Second Amendment activism has been fulfilled.”

SEE THE VIDEO HERE

There is no mistaking the roots of this tragedy. Twisted words from public and especially political figures enter the twisted minds of their targeted audience.
The result is murder. The purpose is to install fear.

–Another anti-Tax Teabagger, his cache of weapons and his murderous intentions.
This threat, made against Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA), was thankfully averted. California Man Arrested for Death Threats Against A Democratic Congressman:

–How soon we forget, but Arkansas Democratic Chairman Bill Gwatney was shot down by a Right-Wing Assassin back in August 2008. The killer was shouting something about “losing his job", which Right-Wing talking heads were blaming on Democrats at the time, as he murdered a defenseless man.
Top US Politician Shot Dead:

–We referred to politically motivated Church shooter, James Adkisson, previously. Conservative Terrorist:

The weakest of minds absorb the most primitive of ideas. You can talk a fool into anything. People like Glenn Beck, Sara Palin, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh…And Ted Nugent….know this and take full advantage of their victims. Murder via proxy may not be the exact terminology that applies, but it’s pretty fucking close.

Yeah…Ted fucking shit-on-myself-to-dodge-the-draft Nugent.
I find it particularly amusing that His Fucktardness has the nerve to write a warning piece about “evil” acts of late and dares to mention Tuscon. Especially when Ted is one of the worst for threatening to kill/advocating the murder of non-Teabagger politicians.

No wonder the Washington Times is the only place this punk can have a column.

Ted’s right about one thing, there’s evil out there.

…And we know who it is.

We’ve told you and told you what they are. And still some people who refer to themselves as “independents” or “moderates” or “centrists” even joined them. It’s sad that it would take the ultimate tragedy to drive the point home.

Awake yet?

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D- Ariz. was the victim of attempted assassination by a Tea Party type extremist in Tuscon, Arizona. Last word is that she is breathing one her own and we thank God for her progress. The shooter, Jared Loughner, is in custody.

Aside from the assassination attempt, Loughner managed to murder six people, one of them a nine year old girl, and injure 14 others. Some who acted heroically trying to stop him.

Inspecting the murderer’s YouTube Channel reveals a zealot who obsessed about “the constitution” and “Second Amendment” issues, a staple for Tea Party type world views.
Shortly after the tragedy occurred, Loughner’s Tea Party comrades set up a phony Facebook page in Loughner’s name and attempted to portray this murderous thug as an Obama supporter and Pelosi-loving Liberal. Facebook promptly removed the forged page.


Naturally, the Tea Party is attempting to distance themselves from the actions of their fellow, but recent history holds the truth for all to see. Right Wing domestic terrorism is nothing new at all. We recall Knoxville and James Adkisson. Adkisson shot up a church full of people after reading and watching the likes of Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin and Glenn Beck.

This episode is no different. Another politically motivated, Right-Wing Teabagger who may be involved with anti-Immigration/Racist extremists at American Renaissance.
Racism being yet another indentured trait found among the Tea Party faithful.

Remember Tea Party Queen, Sara Palin’s, Facebook page where she depicted certain Democrats with rifle sights aimed at their districts? Gabrielle Giffords was one of those depicted as someone Sara Palin wanted shot. Palin has since removed the “target Democrat” graphic from her site.
Ironically(?) Giffords had warned Palin of the “potential consequences” of her rhetoric.

The Right has suggested that, naturally, Loughner is a “Liberal” or “Marxist” or “Left"….
If that was the case there is no shortage of Right-Wing Nazi politicians in Arizona that would be easy pickings for assassination.
And now, the excuse making begins. Many are joining the Right Wing in making excuses for this murderer’s actions. Lots of people have troubled pasts, that is not an excuse for a murderous, politically motivated massacre.

In fact, until someone can show me some scientific evidence that a disturbed and tormented person cannot espouse political beliefs, the excuse makers need to shut their asses and do it fast.
This greasy piece of crap is opting for an insanity defense and the Right is doing all they can to help him.

He knew what he was doing, he was influenced by Right Wing rhetoric as his YouTube rantings and countless other factors tell us and he murdered innocent people.

And you damn well know it.

This is the face of Teabagger Right-Wing terrorism. And as we wrote before, this is by no means the end of it.

UPDATE:

Gabrielle Giffords’ condition continues to improve.

UPDATE 2:

Wasserman-Shultz holds Giffords’ hand as the wounded Congressperson opens her eyes.

Yeah, I know…Been busy…..

1) Arkansas Industrial Disease:

Birds and fish dying in Arkansas and North Louisiana? Just because of fireworks? Maybe. “End of Days"? [snort] :D

Just a theory of my own….

I find it disturbing that anyone could possibly be ignorant enough to believe that such a catastrophe could be biblical in nature.
(slowly shaking head in disgust)

Arkansas is a cesspool of industrial waste. Always has been.

The dead fish were found near Ft. Smith. A haven for industrial waste dumping in the Arkansas River which flows through to the Mississippi.
Fort Smith has long been a regional manufacturing center, with major plants located in the city operated by Whirlpool Corporation, Rheem, Trane, Georgia-Pacific, Gerber, Planters Peanuts and others.
Little Rock is in the river’s path and Beebe, where the birds died, is very close to Little Rock just a bit NE.
Between Beebe and Little Rock there are at least 20 Steel manufacturing facilities. All of which put out more toxins than steel products which has always been the case.

Warren Fabricating and Machining Corp.

Jacksonville Steel

Bettco Structural

ASA

Eaves Manufacturing

J & M Steel Technology Inc

Schueck Steel - Little Rock, AR

Just to name a few.

The birds that died in north Louisiana are right along the path of prevailing winds as weather systems move out of the NW through NW Arkansas and N Louisiana.

A simple glance at the weather chart shows this clearly.

Now if I was an industrial tycoon who hangs out with other such vermin, I might have talked with the other guys and spoke of how many millions we could save if we all dump at once. On New Years eve when everyone is drunk or on vacation. Next weather system is moving in and should push our toxic crap out to the gulf.
So we all dump at once, right? In the air, in the water…just dump all our mega-toxic shit. They’ll never know unless a bunch of birds or fish die.

Just a theory, could be “loud noises” after all.

2) Teabagger FAIL!:

The Tea Party. Aka, Asshats Anonymous.

Once again these traitorous pieces of crusty brown shit are proven to be nothing more than a farce. The exact same farce we told you they were.
They were never “about fiscal responsibility". That was proven recently when their fuckwit candidates voted for a Bush Tax Cut (welfare for the wealthy) that would add 104 Billion to the deficit in the short term. Not one cluck from the chickenhawks about that. Not one.

Now, we find the newly elected, property of Koch Bros. Inc, Teabagettes in Congress lubing their willing ass-pipes for every lobbyist that wades into the pool.
Yes indeed, incoming Reps. Steve Southerland of Florida, Renee Ellmers of North Carolina, Robert Dold of Illinois and homegrown piece of shit named Scott DesJarlais from Tennessee. Southerland, Ellmers, and DesJarlais are all Teabagger filth.

Corporate AstroTurf. The Koch bros. got what they wanted and lots of Right-Wing Democrats and brainless Moderate saps were more than happy to help them. Tax Cuts for the Rich. That’s what all the fake Teabagger punk-assed trash wanted.
“Fiscal Responsibility” they said. How many Democrats and Independents were stupid enough to buy this? Too many.

Here’s laughing at the idiots who thought the Teabaggers were anything other than corporate scumbags.

3) Republicans Vow to Repeal Health Reform:

LINK

To all who wish to repeal Health Reform:

May your families suffer terminal infirmities that no amount of insurance, paid for by my tax dollars, can relieve.

No, that’s not a joke.

4) I Love Facebook:

Sound strange coming from a guy who isn’t exactly the proverbial people person? Maybe, but the fact is this…I recently found myself again enjoying the company of some wonderful people I went to school with 30 years or so ago. People I love and thought were lost only to be figments of my fading memories. I was fearful of forgetting them though as yet I never have and now never will.

When you’re an American kid going to school in a third world country you’re fucking miserable. You try not to show it and get good at shutting it all out, but you’re miserable. Period.
Pretty soon your classmates are really all you have. They represent a normalcy you miss from back home. We all clung together physically and emotionally. Each a sort of crutch for the next. Whether we knew it or not, that’s what we were.
Some of it was magic, some tragic. But in retrospect it can only be described as good.

I found them. I thank God for them. I rejoice in the ones who are well and prospering, and I grieve for those who fell away. But once again I have them and that, in itself, is a blessing.

Thanx, Facebook.

5) Pollard Wanna Cracker?:

Benjamin Netanyahoo, Israeli PM, once again has the childish audacity to request that the notorious traitor and Israeli spy, Johnathan Pollard, be released from prison where he is serving a life term for his capital crimes.

The alarming thing about this is that Barack Obama may just be pussy enough to do it.
Obama is already awash in the urine of capitulation from dealing with America’s enemies within, and he seems more than willing to give every two-bit, third world dictator/terrorist all that they ask as well.

The case here is simple: You want Pollard alive, pull all settlements out of Palestine permanently and accept a proposal to make Jerusalem an international city governed independently by leaders appointed by the United Nations so that all can worship there in peace.

Otherwise, fuck you.

The truth be known, Pollard and Netanyahu both need a bullet in their heads. But if there’s a card to play, go ahead. Just remember, we gave the thieves of Israel stealth fighters just to put off settlement building for 90 days and they reneged. The military secrets Pollard gave them were sold to China while the Israeli terrorists looked us in the eye as called us friends. They still never paid reparations to the victims of the Israeli Pearl Harbor attack on the USS Liberty.

…on second thought, the world would be a better place if you just shoot them both.
