beckerhead made some points this week, this month.

He trusts not Google or Yahoo or any other search device.

He trusts not Enclopedia Britannica either, I assume.

Facts mean nothing to these blaggarts.

Just assume that one million federal and private jobs were erased and there was a depression to follow.

They would blame it on the dems.

Better to argue with your telly like I do. hahahahaha

They can have their jobs, at half the pay and without benefits, and if Koch buys those no-bid GOP political patronage for sale power plants and raises the public rates, just too bad. Go chop wood or live in a smaller house that your body heat alone (may) keep above freezing.

Listening to a T-party leader on local NPR in Arizona, they are all excited about the T-Party Convention comin' to town, some people may exercise their Constitutional rights and tape a couple AK-47's together with loaded banana clips to welcome 'em.

I have to laugh at those here at Dag who seem to think that a really good blog can 'persuade' these folks to abandon their crackpot convictions, some T-Party points:

(1) The government caused the economic collapse because it forced the banks, aka Wall Street, to lend money to people who couldn't afford a home. So the recession/real estate crash is wholly the fault of liberals in the government, and poor people.

(2) Anyone who thinks they deserve entitlements is wrong, they don't. Government funded entitlements have to be cut or ended.

(3) Government regulation is why we have lost jobs.

(4) We just need to cut government spending to balance the budget.

(5) Obamacare means the government decides if you get health care or not, and whether you live or die.

You missed the memo Dick. The Republican leadership, (and apparently a lot of Dems too), cares about the millions in the insurance sector that would have had to find other work had we gone to a single payer system, not public employees should we defund their jobs. That's because of the side that butters their bread, (the FIRE sector). Nice snark though mate.

Oh I remember that guy;

Oh I remember that guy; touted by Rudy and W and then thrown under the bus.

Yeah, He was going to be head of security for the entire country. I see the pix in my head. Everybody smiling. hahahahahah

This Ailes guy is something else. At least he has the presence of mind to contradict himself from time to time about lowlifes like beckerhead.

If there is one key matter that disheartens me with regard to this new Administration it is that so few of the real frauds, the real liars, the masterminds of torture both in government and without are in jail.

Thank you for the link. This is news to me.

Good post Richard. Another chapter in pricing souls and suppressing the truth in the right wing fantasy land of the GOP and Fox News:

Did you see the NYT article that "The News Corporation" otherwise known as Fox News, apparently paid a writer Judith Regan over $10 million to shut her up over some dirt she had on Roger Ailes, Director of Fox News. Ailes apparently asked her to lie to investigators about some information she had on the now jailed Bernard Kerik, associate of former NYC mayor Guiliani and for a while George W. Bush's nominee to head Homeland Security?

Kerik is now in jail for numerous offenses related to lying and taxes.

Fox News first tried to smear the woman calling her anti-Semitic, but it seems when she told them she had RECORDED the phone call in which Roger Ailes, Fox News Director, told her to lie to investigators looking into criminal activity by Kerik, Fox News was ready to deal. They stopped the smears and paid up big time.

The records came out only because the woman didn't pay her lawyers, who have since gone bankrupt, and the bankruptcy overseer is suing to recover funds from the case, otherwise the whole Ailes/Fox News case was supposed to be sealed and kept from the public.

The article says Ailes could be investigated for conspiracy to obstruct justice, which brings to mind the Martha Stewart case (she supposedly lied over the phone), but a lawyer consulted said it is 'hard to prove' such cases, of course that wouldn't stop a Republican DOJ from pursuing the case.

Roger Ailes, '"Just Tell Lies"

Thanks, I had been thinking of Dylan's song and Boehner came on tv. And I was screwing with the song for a couple of days.

Then you wrote the reason post.

And if I pretend to write to the Speaker, what group do I belong to?

No harm intended. hahahahah

In reply to DEAR SPEAKER BOEHNER

Ha. Why does everyone seem to think that I advocated dialogue with Republican leadership or the right-wing demagogues? Was my post that opaque? The people, man, I was telling folks to persuade the people. And each other.

Still a funny post though.
