It was too slick, too media, to be “spontaneous”. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who saw a similarity in style in all the PR, or did a few whois searches. Any internet savvy idiot could have figured out some of these connections.

No offense to the author with that last line, but a lot of lefties are very competent with computers and the internet, I feel insulted by these right wing, astroturfing hacks.

I’m just another citizen, once un-informed, who now appreciates the stalwart efforts of journalist like the aforementioned. My promise is to tell everyone I know, of this vast and corporately funded attempt to hijack our democracy and destroy our unity at all cost.

The funny thing about sad losers like me is that I claim to be all about free speech but really I’d just like to talk to someone, or have someone talk to me, whether they disagree or not. I’d most like to get to know some liberals, since they have the hotter chicks, but for some reason losers like me only get to talk to fat-assed Republican closet-cases. They call themselves racists when they aren’t in front of the cameras, they call themselves trolls when they cant find anything interesting to say.

So this is how it works here. If all else fails instead of calling me crazy you simply allow me to write my comments here, and still no one cares? So much for freedom of speech on a public forum. Time to shoot myself. Goodbye, cruel world!

More to the point: What I really want to know is what I can do to encourage strife between the Paulites and the Republican corporate whores. On the one hand they look very similar, with the Paulites discounting the negative externalities of corporate power, and the corporate whores actively encouraging that ignorance. On the other hand, the corporations would like to have the government on their side and of a certain size necessary to enforce corporate policy without tarnishing the corporate image.

Can I tell the Paulites that the corporate whores have a super secret socialist plan to destroy them?

And Ward Connerly’s a genius: they guy’s been cashing wingnut welfare checks for a decade and a half with minimal effort. Such opportunism is impressive.

Can you provide a reason, logic, or evidence for that? Or is it just so because it is dogma and convenient slime for you sling around? That tactic is ridiculous and without intellectual merit. It makes politics worse than it should be and polarizes America unnecessarily.

That would be about right, yeah.

If you want to make fun of me with ad hominem, that’s fine, but don’t change my words and represent them as mine.

Mister Mx, I understand how that works. I worked (Dir. of Media Relations) for Ward Connerly here in Michigan on Proposal 2 to end preferential types of so-called affirmative action. I’m racist on my face for that, apparently, and that goes without saying one word about my philosophy — but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find former National Bar President Reginald Turner (black, liberal, pro-preference) with enough intellectual honesty to call some of my writing on the issue (before working for Connerly, I wrote several major pieces on the admissions lawsuits, including in the Michigan Bar Journal) the best of any he had received – and I’m not a lawyer. I’m no shill for anyone, and believe my motivations are the opposite of “racist”. But if you disagree with the left on this issue, you are ostracized without analysis.

Kind of like Santa Monica – or here on this ironically inaccurately titled site.

Too bad you’re wrong.

I ran one of these events and you’ve got the intent wrong. The teaparty events weren’t abt feigning that there was more opposition to Washington’s spending than there was (astroturfing), they were about empowering people, most of whom had never publicly stood for anything to become activists. They were about fielding volunteers to form the nucleus of an army to push you back under the rock you slithered …

you should stick to writing about drugs, you’re better at it.”

This sounds like the last gasp of a rabid dog just shot through its cranium but still lingering with a flicker of life because it is rabid.

They also cannot be hypocritical because of that purity. Even though they may say hypocritical things or do hypocritical things because their intentions are so pure and good they are not hypocritical. We uncouth barbarians are capable of hypocrisy because we lack that purity.

Also, when liberals acquire wealth and use it to encourage public debate and protest it is not a bad thing. Even if the wealth was acquired by non-liberal means and the use of the wealth would be considered immoral or illegal by others it is alright for a liberal to do it because they again have that purity of cause that others lack.

Understand how that works?
