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:

Shoq, via Twitter, at noon:
"I Went To #OperationAmericanSpring And All I Found Was This Crappy Hashtag."

@Miller89918204 Not sure what there is to report other than "Millions Missing from Operation American Spring." #OperationAmericanSpring

 Daniel Modell ‏@dMnyc 8m
It turns out we were using the wrong hashtag! It's not #OperationAmericanSpring, it's #OperationMericanSpring. That's why no one showed up.

Has Obama surrendered yet? "Bones" reruns haven't been interrupted...

Jody White @FortGeek 20m
#OperationAmericanSpring "Come And Take It!"  Looks like someone come and took it.

Jody White @FortGeek 4m
Did they know Obama wouldn't be there? Went to NYC 5/14, for 9/11 Memorial. Is he even back yet?

How many Hoverrounds fit in a tour bus? Asking for a friend. #OperationAmericanSpring

#OperationAmericanSpring Reports of lots of empty chairs...so Invisible Obama showed up? Where's Clint Eastwood?

Jody White @FortGeek 9s
#OperationAmericanSpring We shouldn't mock them for hiding from the rain, folks. Mobility scooters don't like mud and rain.

Huh. Just noticed the FEMA camp across from my house was suddenly full. Must be from #OperationAmericanSpring

Not surprised by the number of trolls paid for with American tax dollars. Obama had MONTHS 2 assemble a troll list. #OperationAmericanSpring


Cheryl ‏@HoldingOn2Stars 40m
Just wondering: If #OperationAmericanSpring is such a failure, why is it at the top of the Trending list?

[could be because of the number of people making fun of you?]

Remember when a mob of angry white people could run a black family out of town? #operationamericanspring

#OperationAmericanSpring I am amazed how so many of u claimto be tolerant but....well, thats an outright lie.

[who said we'd be "tolerant" of stupidity and hate?]

#OperationAmericanSpring organizers watched end of "Princess Bride" and thought, THEY deposed the King with only 3 guys...so can we!!


Max P0W3R ‏@Max_P0VV3R 29m

It's not about the numbers that showed up, it's about the number of eyes opened. #OperationAmericanSpring

[because I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!]


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!"

Kook from the Past: Kansan1225


Did you know that Heidi Klum is descended from Martian and Syruisian stock, and that she's linked to the Illuminati and Der Keiser?

Kansan1225 used to post frequently in who-knows how many newsgroups in the early '00's. Quite an amazing imagination. Numerology, conspiracies, a spooky obsession with Klum (including psychic conversations with her), this guy had it all.

Some high-quality kookness--more of it here!

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?

One More Reason to Eat Less Chicken

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"
--
Obama speaks out; Gingrich the Bankrupt Failure and other wingnuts screech at him
for pandering; Frothy goes to a shooting range campaign event; stupid woman tells him "Pretend it's Obama!"
--
faux noise commenters do their usual racist shit-throwing
--
Geraldo "The Moustache" Rivera says if the kid wasn't wearing a hoodie, he wouldn't have been shot
--
'witness' claims he saw Martin beating on the shooter, says shooting was self defense [3/23/12]

--
wingnut dickhead says Obama "lynching" shooter
--
investigator wanted to charge shooter with manslaughter, was instructed not to
--
faux noise commenters go racist (again) (they had a field day with Whitney Houston's death)
--
not to be outdone, Breitard commenters go even more batshit racist against Trayvon
--
shooter's lawyer abandons chair, runs out on "The Last Word"; chair footage for an entire segment (Lawrence grills it at one point; chair refuses comment)
--
shooter's "buddy" Oliver grilled on "The Last Word"; his claims all fall apart (he's a coworker, didn't know him all that well, hadn't seen him in awhile)
--
shooter claims he was attacked; broken nose, blood on his face and back of his head from being beaten up by the kid--but police video calls bullshit on that
--
funeral director says no injuries on Trayvon's hands (he didn't put up a fight)
--
shooter's father claims Martin told shooter, "you're gonna die now" or "you're gonna die tonight"
--
keeps blowing up: Trayvon Martin was identified but kept as John Doe until his father filed a Missing Persons report; shooter didn't have blood or broken nose; cops didn't drop the ball so much as put it down and walk away from it
--
Spike Lee fucks up, reposts incorrect address for shooter posted by some Twitter dumbass (the address was was actually that of a 70-year-old woman and her 72 year-old husband; they had to bug out because of all the hate mail, phone calls, and visits in the middle of the night).

this isn't the first time "stand your ground" has farked things up--in OK, a man was killed in 2010 by a robber, who was allowed to walk because he was "attacked" first.
