Link Dump: Dominionism

Dominionists: Religious group seeking to take over government & replace with theocracy. This ideology calls on anointed “Christian” leaders to take over the state and make the goals and laws of the nation “biblical.” Merges with Koch "libertarianism", "The Family", and the beliefs of the far-right John Birch Society.

These people are so batshit that Jerry "Moral Majority" Falwell thought they were scary; they like to call themselves "calvinists"

Prosperity Theology: part of the dominionist attitude. Very common in televangelists and "megachurch" preachers.
--the notion of "I'm rich, gawd must luuurve me, therefore I'm better than you and deserve to rule."

--the poor are poor because they lack faith, aren't working hard enough, lack character, or somesuch: it's all their fault.

Scump is a fascist figurehead, scumppence is a Dominionist


 There's a sizable link dump at Reddit:
A final response to the "Tell me why Trump is a fascist"


Very long list, stretching back over the last year of his campaign, all the stuff he says he's going to do (round up all the illegals, ban Muslims, restart torture, gut the First Amendment to make it easier for him to destroy people who mock him, end separation of church and state)...a very long list. Saves me from doing my own link dump--and more comprehensive than my stuff anyway.

One commenter notes that Noam Chomsky doesn't think he's a fascist "because he doesn't have any ideological commitment or consistency"--and that's a good point, but there's also this: it doesn't matter, because WAY too many of his supporters--the neo-nazis, the white supremacists, the teabaggers, the Dominionists, all of the dedicated far-right scary people--have those things in spades, and they've been working at their fascism for decades.

Sc ump's their key to legitimacy; once he's in office, he's made it plain that he's just going to do the fun parts of the presidency. He will give fundamentalist/dominionist-friendly Mike Pence (hereafter named "scumppence") the keys to power, instead.

scumppence is associated with James Dobson of Focus on the Family. Dobson runs the National Day of Prayer and Pence was--as recently as 2010--one of several members of Congress on the NDP "Board of Reference". Scump's bad enough on his own--but letting Dominionist fundies into the Presidency would be a disaster. Their avowed goal is to take over the state and impose "biblical" law.

The more extreme ones, like Gary North, want stoning as a method of execution for homosexuality, adultery, all the old favorites. Mike and Debi Pearl (of whom the litter-bearing Duggers are huge fans) advocate beating the shit out of your kids--can't "spare the rod," you know. These are people who have been using imprecatory prayer to try to kill President Obama as recently as last month [June 2016] and as far back as June, 2009.

For that last, some of them weasel the prayer as meaning "let his days in office be few"...but that's only to give themselves deniability for their evil shit. The full text of Psalm 109 is:


8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Fortunately...nothing fails like prayer. But there are plenty of deranged fundy assholes who would take it upon themselves to act, since their imaginary friend in the sky isn't listening or acting on their wishes. It's frankly amazing that none of them has been successful so far--but it's pretty messed up that a sitting senator's doing it in public where there are microphones and cameras, let alone that there's been an entire industry devoted to assholes who want Obama dead.
These fundy assholes need to be kept out of our government at all levels, let alone the Presidency itself.

That's on top of the links between Trump and Russia that are coming to light.

The Beard Makes the Terrorist.


Scumbag and imbecile Brian Kilmeade says that the father of former prisoner of war Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl "looks like the Taliban" because of the beard he grew after Bergdahl was kidnapped.

He refused to remove the beard until his son came home.

So the BEARD makes the TERRORIST, right?

When will Kilmeade and his fellow morons be calling for the arrest and Gitmoization of these obvious Taliban members?

OAS DAY 2--A PRESIDENT IN EXILE!!


It is a dark time for the Republic. Although the NSA drone program has been destroyed, OAS troops have driven the Black President from his hidden base and pursued him across the city.

Evading the dreaded Hoveround Fleet, a group of freedom fighters led by General "Handsome" Joe Biden have established a new secret base in the Air and Space Museum.

The evil lord Darrel Issa, obsessed with finding Handsome Joe, has dispatched thousands of Teabillies into the far reaches of Washington, D.C. ....

Poor, poor two-term very popular Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack H. Obama. All he did was save General Motors, kill Osama bin Laden, get millions of people affordable health insurance, increase infrastructure spending, make a deal with Swiss banks to gain access to the records of tax cheats and criminals, establish the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau, sign an improved food safety law, helped kill "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, expand funding for the Violence Against Women act, reverse his predecessor's horrendous torture policies, try to close the Gitmo prison (only to be stopped by Republicans and some turncoat Democrats), work to improve relations with Iran's government and encourage them to stop their nuke program, bring the troops home from Iraq, ban gifts to the Executive Branch from lobbyists, piss off every whiny Republican by being a badass and not getting into scandals (which they find scandalous!), everything else on this list here, and probably some other stuff since then.

Also, he pisses Republicans off just by being the Black Guy in the White House. They hate that soooo very much, they cry the purest, sweetest, tears of impotent rage. That shit tastes awesome with a twist of lemon.

And now...the raging horde of Operation American Spring has run President Obama out of town for the second time in a week. Ejected yet again from the White House, the poor guy has holed up in Gainesville, Virginia, at an elite invitation-only golf course instead of his regular digs on the links at Edwards Air Force Base or Fort Belvoir.

Man can't catch a break, but that's the revolution.

So, this was the second day of "Operation American Spring," which was billed as an enormous influx of millions of furious racist assholes, ignorant Teabaggers, conspiracy whackos, fundie screechers, demagoguing wingnuts, and seditious militiamen, all with Rambo complexes and daddy issues PATRIOTS!!! coming to overthrow the evil gummint they depend on for everything in their day-to-day lives.

Basically, it's been the "Made In China" Family Dollar store brand version of Occupy Wall Street with online circle-jerks instead of drum circles.

The OAS goobers have shifted from cheerleading their so-called revolution to making excuses for it, blaming Friday's early-morning rains, blaming the government for "hacking" their Twitter hashtag (bwahahahahaha!!), claiming that the whole thing had been a "false flag" operation set up by that EVIL!!!! Obama to make them look stupid, claiming that those of us mocking them were all government shills, bought and paid for.

Some of the devout took it really hard, making death threats and such when prodded.

One of the best excuses? "Us conservative folks have JOBS and can't just take the day off!" Really? You want to overthrow the government, but can't take vacation time for it?

I think I get it. Instead of that enormous influx of millions all at once, they're gonna do it a few at a time. Guerilla-style infiltration. By the end of the year, several million of them will have been to D.C.! Uh, guys? You kind of have to be there all at once, or you're just pissy, low-tipping asshole tourists, and D.C. deals with them all year round. Smithsonian's nice this time of year.

The #OperationAmericanSpring hashtag wasn't nearly as hot on Day 2. I didn't lurk on it for more than a couple of hours, myself.

Fun With Kooks: Operation American Spring


Today was the first day of the Grate Redneckistan Take Are Kountree Back!! thing, where hordes of Teabillies from across the country were going to descend upon Washington, D.C. and make Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack Obama step down!

It promised to be really really BIG, 10 to 30 million strong.

They did get the 10, maybe even a few hundred, but the other few million apparently had home chores, medical appointments, or other suddenly-remembered things to do at the last minute ("Well, Earl's got a van that's big enough to carry Art's Hoverround, but his wife's got him goin' to Lowes tomorrow to pick up some pottin' soil, and if Earl can't go, none of us can 'cos we ain't leavin' Art.")

I wonder if they knew Mr. Obama wasn't in town? He went to New York a few days ago.

I don't know who showed up, yet. I blew my entire afternoon watching the Twitters. No time for the blogs or news sites.

Twitter was a lot of fun! The #OperationAmericanSpring hashtag blew up. Here's a selection:

Yeah, I mostly grabbed my own Twitter posts. Didn't have room for several thousand more.

I've got this mental image, now, of a half-dozen wheezing goobers "marching" somewhere in D.C., headed (they hope) for the White House but lost in a maze of marble.  One of them pauses long enough to huff, "Dammit, Frank, ALL these sumbitchin' buildin's is WHITE!"

Legitimate Idiot!




Why, yes, fundamentalist religion is involved; this nut-dipper is linked to fundie fuckwit D. James Kennedy, who called rape victims who get abortions "hysterical."

I think maybe the "D" stood for "Dumbass." No wonder he abbreviated.

Once you remember that conservatism is a mental defect, this shit makes sense. How insane is too insane to be allowed to hold public office?

Chick-fil-A sucks. The company's always been a proud bastion of fundie ugliness. No surprise that they've taken a stance against gay marriage. When the Jim Henson Company decided that his Muppets were bouncing the chicken chain over its stance, those classy bird-cookers replied with this:

Wingnut Preacher okays child abuse

Brain-dead wingnut preacher preaches that parents should "punch" their "gay-acting" kids and break their limp wrists. When the Internet rises up in wrath and tells him to STFU, the cowardly knee-crawler whines that he was only kidding and issues a non-apology apology.

Right.

I'd rather have my kid grow up gay (and happy) than grow up a stupid wingnut. I'd really think I'd failed as a parent if one of mine voted *spit* Republican, let alone chose the preacher lifestyle.

(edited to add a subject line)

Psycho Lard Tub Eric Cartman dead in Murder-Suicide


Evil Nazi crapball coward JT "Eric Cartman" Ready wiped out his own family (including an 18-month old child), then killed himself.

His plan was to blame a Mexican "cartel assassination squad," possibly in the hope that it would trigger the race war thing the wingnuts keep hoping for when they do shit like this. Cartman was one of those self-styled border guard types. Readers will be astonished to find that his house contained guns, grenades, guns, and guns.

Trayvon Martin link dump (CORRECTED)

Plenty of kooks and scumbags in this story. There's the shooter himself, who comes across as erratic (maybe mentally ill?); there are the people on his side, who've spun out some crazy notions of why their boy is the innocent victim here, not the dead kid; then there are the dung-slinging wingnuts from Newt Gingrich on down to the lowest cave-dwelling racist assholes who bring on the batshit in ways that make Michele "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann seem rational.

Of course, It's All Obama's Fault!

[NOTE: Somehow most of the links got mangled while I was putting the dump together. This has been fixed]

Here we go:

--
17-year-old Martin was on suspension from school in Miami (bag w/pot residue); he was staying in a gated community (apartments?) with his father's GF; walking home from C-store w/Skittles and a drink, was stalked by shooter, then chased; some sort of scuffle/confrontation, then he was shot; shooter claims "self-defense" [wingnuts say shooter had right to "stand his ground" but the kid, threatened by someone armed and bigger, didn't have the same right, even though he was close to home]
--
killer's father a retired judge; makes us wonder whether the cops refused to charge Zimmerman because the judge wanted the matter to go away.
--
map of gated community where Martin lived and died
--
cops tried to coach a witness into changing her story
--
kid was shot in late Feb 2012; body kept in cooler for 3 days before parents notified [link somewhere down below]
--
wingnuts (including Bankrupt Check-Bouncing Failure Newt Gingrich) blame the kid for his own murder
--
shooter was self-appointed Neighborhood Watch (and ARMED, when NW folks are specifically told they're not cops); called 911 frequently in 2011 for meaningless things like trash in street--
and a suspicious 7-9 year old
--
the shooter was told to back off by the 911 dispatcher
--
the Zimmerman media circus
--
shitstorm picks up as people start claiming shooter said "fucking coons"

Wingnut Punk to Libs, Non-Christians: "Get out!"

So Frothy Mix was hosted by some punk-ass preacher-boy loser in Louisiana over the weekend.

Preacher-boy doesn't like non-Christians or Liberals. Says we gotta go. Doesn't like the gays, either. Buys into the comical notion that this country was founded by third-rate Billy Graham wannabe wingnut losers like him.

Loves him some Frothy. Babbled prayers and drooled over him for a bit, then made the obligatory anti-Obama squeals and whines and asked his imaginary sky-buddy to "do a mighty work" on the bad black guy.



Packed house. Lots of gray and blue hair. I wonder whether there's even one stooped-over Rascal-driver in the room who realizes that ol' Frothy is one of "them ol' Catholics."

Oh--and preacher-boy?

You and what army?

[UPDATE! 3/22/2012]

Preacher Boy is apparently embarrassed by all the attention he got when this video went all over the Interwebs and has scrambled to yank it off the Web by...deleting it from the church website.

Y'all be nice and don't tell him about the rest of the Internet, 'kay?

Pic of the Day: Bing-Bong.



he was a f@#$er. a big ass motherf@#$er. this aint a 24-hour zone, baby. he was a bad, bad dude.

Oh, wait, that's Andy gloating about Ted Kennedy's death. He and his wingnut buddies were dancing in the streets that day! Good times, good times. But his wingnut buddies are demanding that everyone show Dick some respect--"BEHAVE YOURSELVES! BEHAVE YOURSELVES!!"

Didja know that Obama had him rubbed out to keep Andy from releasing incriminating video of him? It's on the Interwebs, must be TRUE!

Andy was one of the less-interesting kooks (just your basic angry, unhappy loudmouth, and a very small man); we didn't pay him much attention in life. We expect that he'll be much quieter now.

If he'd acted like a decent human being in public instead of a puffed-up screaming prick, he might be a sympathetic character here at the Clearinghouse. As it is, we shake our heads and go on to the next kook.

Bachmann's an Idiot. And a flake. A flaky idiot.

Par for the Republican course, it seems. Michele Bachmann is well-known for coming out with stupid--or dishonest--or both--things to say whenever there's a camera lurking around, but I think she's topped herself.

Whaaaaat? She topped her claim that the Shot Heard Round the World happened in New Hampshire?

Okay, this one's a close second to that.

Whaaaaaaaat?! She topped her claim that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery, and that John Quincy Adams was one of them?

Dammit! See, there's so much batshit with this wingnut that it's getting really hard to assess her kookness in terms of a top-ten.

She invoked the name of conservative magnet John Wayne and (not for the first time) linked him to Waterloo, Iowa.

She picked the wrong clown. She's actually talking about kid-killer John Wayne...Gacy, the Killer Clown. We wonder if she knows the difference between them. If Gacy was a Republican, she'd probably sing his praises, 33 murders notwithstanding.

She's since admitted to not being perfect, but stands by her stupidity, and that's why she's the new Republican Stupid Queen. Stand aside, Palin, you amateur. There's a new conservative cutie-pie on the stage with a flaky crust and an incredible batshit center!

Best thing I've seen said about her, from Bill Mahar: "Michele Bachmann! For People Who Find Sarah Palin Too Intellectual."

O'Crap!


[ Simulposted from Pareidolia ]

Christine O'Donnell's got one scary "O" face.

This one's an example of every reason I'll never vote for or support a Republican. The party continues to put up batshit insane right-wing fundie morons, racists, wild-eyed anti-abortionists, secessionist traitors, war-mongering empty suits, and rich assholes who don't want to pull their share of the tax load; and as long as they continue to cater to batshit insane right-wing fundie morons, racists, wild-eyed anti-abortionists, secessionist traitors, war-mongering empty suits, and rich assholes who don't want to pull their share of the tax load, they can get stuffed. The party's "politics" have devolved into things the government shouldn't be getting into at any level--gay marriage, religious crap in publicly-funded schools, abortion, Teri Schiavo. It's all about hot-button things to scare people into voting Red. PANIC! Commies under your bed! PANIC!! Look at those hippies! PANIC!!! Muslims! PANIC!!!! ATHEISTS!!!!!!! AUGH!!!!

Are you panicking yet?!

Sorry pricks.

Honestly, I thought President Fratboy was the bottom of the barrel, the worst the Goposaurs could manage. Damned if they didn't move the barrel bottom down a few feet when they found Sarah "Caribou Barbie" Palin. Then all hell broke loose--and the cesspool of Republican offerings has only gotten deeper--and this O'Donnell critter is the new bottom. Mice with human brains?! She wouldn't lie to Hitler to save Anne Frank?!

Funny how in that video she supposedly hates, hates, hates dishonesty--but she's been caught out lying--and brilliantly called out on it by this guy.

It took men like Lincoln to make the Republican Party mean something. It's taken right-wing idiots a few decades to shred the party and piss all over Lincoln's legacy while trying to dress themselves up to look like him. The teabaggers are simply finishing the demolition that began in the mid-1960's, when racist pricks abandoned the Democrats in the wake of Johnson's signing the Civil Rights Act into law.

The Party of Lincoln? Nope. The Party of O'Donnell.

Kookistan Freakout over...Oval Office Rug?

Seriously, yes.

My, my, those little short-bus folks on the wingnut fringe never seem to wear their helmets. No, they bump their heads together and find some new thing to scare each other with about the Kenyan Socialist Muslim Nazi anti-Christ black guy in the White House.

Now he's really done it.

Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack Obama has really done it.

He's redecorated the Oval Office. In BEIGE.

Looks nice, really--lightens up the room, the furniture looks comfortable.

But that's not IT--not the criminal act that the idiots in Kookistan are slavering over.

Nope. Nobel Peace Prize Winner President Barack Obama has...misquoted someone on his Presidential Rug. The rug has quotes from Abe Lincoln, both Roosevelts (Ted & Frank), Kennedy, and one from Martin Luther King.

That's the one that's got the Kookistanis wound up.

The MLK quote--"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."--is an Obama favorite; King used it frequently himself, but he was knowingly quoting Theodore Parker, an abolitionist who died in 1860. It could easily be that Obama wasn't aware of the true source of the quote. He's human. *shrug*

But the Kookistanis are in full shriek mode, like the little retards Palin-Americans they are:

God forgive me for thinking this, but Theodore Parker was a white man. Obama would rather the quote was from Martin Luther King, and he has demonstrated often enough that if you repeat a falsehood over and over, people will believe it.

RebeccaH on September 5, 2010 at 1:22 PM

Amazing how there's no irony in Kookistan, where falsehoods get repeated over and over, such as the birth certificate thing, the Kenyan thing, the Socialist thing, the Nazi thing.

Remaining true to form, once again Obama fails to get it right. According to the “peter principle” our fearless leader gained his level of incompetence upon his birth.

Wills on September 5, 2010 at 7:10 AM

Obama's "incompetent"? Heckuva job, Wills. Mission Accomplished.

Then there's this full-on meltdown:

If I was POTUS, instead of FDR and Kennedy, I would have quotes from Thomas Jefferson(Obamalinsky really hates him)George Washington, John Adams, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and GWB. I would also run an anti-Communist cleansing of the government that would make Sen. Joe McCarthy look like a Boy Scout.

Let’s just say my administration would be 180 degrees from Comrade Obamalinsky’s. An American for America in other words.

adamsmith on September 5, 2010 at 1:00 PM

"Obamalinsky." Weak.

There really needs to be an enforced helmet law in Kookistan. Sooner or later one of the the little darlings is gonna hurt himself.

Meanwhile, over at Daily Kos, one diarist looks at all the fuss, both from the Washington Post's Op-Ed writer and the waterhead wingnuts and calls 'em out:
If those exact words had been attributed to Mr. Theodore Parker, that would have been a mistake, because Mr. Parker never said them. King on the other hand did say them, on many, many occasions.

So, we have two levels of FAIL for Ms. Stiehm. She alleges that the quote is falsely attributed to Dr. King. She is wrong. Martin Luther King is the correct source for the words as they appear on the Oval Office rug. But even if she were correct that the quote was falsely attributed to King, her allegation that the "rug got it wrong" also fails, given that the rug itself does not attribute the quote to anyone.


Even so...how long before the Kookistanis get on the soup-can-and-string network and spread the word about this new evil in the White House?

War Crimes equal Votes!

No, it's no surprise these clowns are running as Republicans, let alone that they're PROUD of the crimes they committed--and which ended their military careers.

Who cares about something like that when there are VOTES to be garnered? "Look at me, I'm gonna be tough on TERRISTS just like Jack Bauer!"

Jerk the First: Ilario Pantano is running for a seat in North Carolina 7th District, challenging Dem incumbent Mike McIntyre. In April of 2004 Mr. War Hero filled a couple of unarmed prisoners with 50 to 60 rounds. Fifty to sixty. He reloaded, boom boom. Says it was freaking SELF DEFENSE. Afterward, he put up a sign with the Marines' slogan to warn the locals: "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy."

Nice. The wingnuts love him. They were his ardent defenders when the Army charged him with premeditated murder. The case against him was dropped in 2005 because (among other things) a witness' testimony couldn't be corroborated.

Meanwhile, Dick is so proud of himself, he's made the incident the core of his Look-At-ME!! book, titled "No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy" (creative, huh?). The wingnuts adore him. I bet Michelle "Crazy Eyes" Malkin grows weak in the knees with desire for him.

Oh, well. At least he's got actual military service, unlike ex-President "Mission Accomplished!" Fratboy.

The good news is that an actual veteran--Will Breazeale, who was Pantano's opponent in the primaries--isn't going to stop hammering home the fact that Joey Pants is kind of a douche.


Clown the Second is Allen West, whom Sarah "Caribou Barbie" Palin thinks is just peachy keen. He's running in Florida's 22nd against Democrat Ron Klein.

West was forced to resign from the Army (Lt. Colonel) & fined $5,000 for his part in a beating harsh interrogation. The man was an Iraqi cop whom West had decided knew something about an upcoming ambush. West's men did the beating asked the questions. West decided things weren't moving quickly enough and fired his gun past the man's head to scare the truth out of him. The wingnuts adore him, too.

No ambush plot was ever uncovered (there were actual investigations by actual investigators), but West probably rationalizes the matter--"I disrupted the plot and saved lots of lives!! I'm Jack Bauer!!!!1!" The wingnuts don't care about such things. He's a freaking HERO.

Yeah. In a similar vein, if I don't pass gas at least once a day, aliens will come down and destroy the world. The only proof that matters is that this has not happened.

West says he sacrificed his military career for the lives of his men. I'd say that if any of them are still serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, they're much safer without this prick in command. Here's hoping that Florida's 22nd District will keep their mildly-Democratic standing.

This little rant is only a summary; there's so much more rant-worthy material at the Daily Beasts' page about the two wingnuts.

Pat Dollard...Ed Brayton's pet kook

Grab your popcorn, folks, this one's fun!

Over at Ed Brayton's "Dispatches from the Culture Wars" blog, there's a little kook trotting around, trying to make himself seem big and scary!

I'm jealous. I don't have a pet kook.

October 17: Brayton posts about a YouTube flick mocking iPhone apps and wingnuts in Congress. Pat, that tower of intellect, that POWERhouse of rhetoric, brought it: "Fuck you."

October 20: Brayton has noticed Pat. He mocks a mock church bulletin.

October 20: Pat whines about his mistreatment in a Political Byline post. Warning: Coultergeist greets you as a banner ad. He says he doesn't feel he has to explain himself...then explains himself at length, adding rants on abortion, gays, them evil Soshullist Libruls, his religious beliefs, and a few pounds of bible quotes to add weight to his non-self-explanatory self-explanation. He also responds in Ed's comments, calling him a stalker (comment #25) and then offering us comic GOLD with #56:

[snip long-ass hit-count listing for www.politicalbyline.com]
So, there. Suck it Libtards. and Don't bother leaving comments on my blog. Because I am not approving them, at all.

Why?

Because I do not *HAVE* to, that's why.


Well, DARN.

October 21: Ed has gone from merely noticing to being amused by this charming new kook of his. He mocks better than I do. He notes that Dullard put up a new post...but apparently it was too good for the Interwebs: Patty took it down. Here's a taste:

I have been sitting here all evening, thinking about this little dust up between Ed Brayton and myself. The last time someone made the fetal mistake of veering into my "Scope" if you will. They got "The Treatment" from me. Anytime someone has ever done anything that I felt was wrong. I did this to them; I did it to someone who decided that it would be cool to write an article that said, "F**** The Troops", I did it to a well-known Conservative Commentator, who did something that I felt was objectionable. Luckily for her, it was an old address.

Fetal mistake? That's a freaking brilliant Freudian slip given the obvious immaturity on display.

I figure if Ed Brayton does not have a problem insulting Christians, Conservatives and those who disagree with his views, then he should not have a problem with someone calling his house to challenge him on his views or even possibly coming to his house to challenge him face to face. Not that I would encourage such behavior, but if it happened, I would not shed a tear.

So, here's Ed's Address and Telephone Number and a nice aerial shot of his house...:

Wrong house, though. Dullard begs for help via Twitter!

November 8: Pat weighs in on the Fort Hood shooter, claiming (Nobel Peace Prize Winner) President Obama sent the shooter in on a mission to kill people.

Note how Dullard--sorry, Dollard--calls Obama "amabO." Oooh. Creative.

November 10: Wonkette weighs in on Dullar--dammit, Dollard! I just can't get it right! Anyway, Dullard goes off via Twitter on Congressman Anh Cao of Louisiana, a Republican who voted in favor of the House version of the Health Care Reform bill, calling him a "fucking gook" and "Some of us, have not forgotten what happened on Dec 7, 1941 either!". Wonkette runs some of the Twitter traffic; Dullard is mocked in the comments, and this tidbit about him is brought up:

Pat’s personal profile from his web site:

Heh. Here's Ed's take on it. Dullard has made his Twitter feed PRIVATE now.

November 12: Brayton makes Dullard--sorry, Dollard--the subject of his running series, "Dumbass Quote of the Day".

November 13: ...and another Dumbass Quote of the Day for Dullard!

How does one get a pet kook?
