Republican operative and all round rat pays out to ACORN activist he slandered
The Republican attack to defund the antipoverty activist organization ACORN was one of the most totally disgraceful actions the American corporate media has ever helped ‘Conservatives’ (read reactionaries) accomplish. But now the truth is unfolding as the thug who carried out the hit on ACORN has had to pay out $100,000 to keep his criminal actions from going into court.

El Paso County Clerk Wayne Williams wants voter registration fraud evidence pulled from net
COLORADO SPRINGS– A young voter registration activist, by admission soliciting only Mitt Romney supporters, was caught on video saying she worked for the El Paso County Clerk, mistakenly as it turns out. Local Dems have run with the story while Clerk & Recorder Wayne Williams and the Colorado Springs Gazette, both notorious GOP bullies, insist the viral video be taken down because it misrepresents the truth, missing the point about WHO was misrepresenting the truth. Whether the young woman spoke in error, she and perhaps others are representing themselves as county representatives, and the clerk’s damage control is revealing. After clarifying that his office does not employ partisan foot soldiers (although examples abound of Democrats being purged from his staff), Williams scolds only the video taker for “spreading disinformation”. He does not warn citizens to question volunteers who pretend official status, nor does he offer evidence of reprimands or special retraining. Of course all sides are protecting the identity of the 20-year-old Victoria Bautista. Why? At 20 she’s not getting any smarter, or educated obviously. I hardly think it serves our society to coddle anyone screwing with civic participation. Many of our current officials are evidence of what happens when you nurture mediocrity in politics. Are we so hard up we want idiots in authority? I think that’s a characteristic best pruned aggressively like you would rot.
‘Unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out!’ Oh, PLEASE, NO!
…Speaking of silly, very doubtful, and nauseatingly sexually explicit market branding? How ’bout this latest example of such in the political department? Ann Romney: ‘Unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out.’
Stupor Tuesday… SUPER YAWN…
Why in the Hell does the public let the government use our tax money to hold these PARTISAN selections at great PUBLIC expense? Let the dumbo group pay for their own propaganda and not have us taxpayers pay it for them! After all, the Republicans do say that they want government out of our lives and that they want public expenditures cut to the bare bone. So let’s start with them! Get their campaigns off the public dole now and hear the herd of elephants weep then! Government funding of these PARTISAN selections of candidates simply does not make good public sense. However…..? Thank God we don’t have to listen to the donkeys bray so much this selection year since they have no opposition to their twinHead Bosses, Hillary and Barack. It’s amazing how Liberal Democrats will settle for crumbs.
In a display of Republican “Courage” Rick GoodHair set to have another human killed
… and in true Republican fashoin, (cowardice) he’ll have several Prison Guard Pigs strap the REAL man to a table and a so-called doctor who is afraid to have even his real name come out will poison him.
Republicans love to kill people who are helpless. It’s why they support wars too. Just, you know, not with their own presence. Just like Rick Perry and George Bush never had the guts to do their murders or thefts or work for themselves.
The intended victim, Duane Buck, was sentenced partly on the basis of a psychologist, who of course wasn’t speaking in a Racist manner at all, said that Black men would have a higher risk of re-offending than whites.
Completely ignoring such WASP serial killers as George Bush and Rick GoodHair. Gordon Brown and Tony Blair don’t appear to be black either
(That’s funny, you don’t LOOK Negr-ish) yet their killing spree goes on unabated and, judging from their books where they congratulate themselves for being such punk-ass thieving murdering liars, unabashed as well.
My question to so-called “conservatives” is as always…
If your leaders are such low-life scum, what does that make YOU for looking up to them?
You of course already know the answer. Y vuestras Mamas tambien, putos.
If misrepresentative Michele Bachmann can run for president, SO CAN YOU!
How fortunate that the corporate media is pretending a Michele Bachmann presidential candidacy has legitimacy. Who’s going to dispute your prospects? Yes, YOU, I don’t care who you are. Or what about …ANY third party contender? A truly unelectable Republican will not be bogeyman enough to circle the wagons around Obama. An idiot on the one hand and a bullshitter on the other, both certifiable — literally, leaves an opening between them for someone rational.
Republicans already have a candidate for 2012: Barack Anwr Obama
Looking for a challenger right of Barack Obama can only yield a caricature, irrelevant, bigot or panderer. If any candidate will offer a real alternative to the duplicity of Obama’s corporatist agenda, wouldn’t he or she have to come from the left? Yes the Democratic Party is just sheep clothing for the usual wolves, but I’m still hopeful about the actual Democratic voter, or should I say I’m in denial, that the average progressive liberal will not fall for Obama again.
Council still don’t get it, asked Jeff Crank for help…
Local aptly-named Corporato-Fascist Crank.
Anyway, they still pretend not to “get” what opposition Working Class people would have to privatizing part of OUR park for the profits of THEIR corporate sponsors. Methinks they’re lying through their teeth.
Look, Herpin, Leigh, Princess Barbie, you’ve come out on the side of using the Colorado Springs Gestapo Department as publicly funded private Shock Troops in your war against Anybody With Less Money than you.
This is only ONE aspect of it. By privatizing even part of the park you’ll be denying access to the park for anybody who doesn’t meet YOUR snobbish elitist Fascist standards for citizenship. Your colleagues in the Former City Council made sure that the pigs can profile anybody who “looks homeless” and target that person for special harassment.
You don’t represent anybody who doesn’t have enough money to fit in with your Wealthy Royalty.
If you have an “upscale” restaurant in OUR park, that means you’ll be spending Public Funds for the Pigs to be chasing us out OUR park based on your pretense that the Gentlemen and Ladies of More Limited Means being seen around YOUR Elitist Restaurant would drive away business, the same way your FASCIST overlords deemed the reason for YOUR real estate businesses failing was Visible Poverty. You lied then, and you’re lying now.
YOUR fascist list of “undesirables” is filled to the top with people who are the WORKERS WHO PUT THE FOOD INTO YOUR BLOATED LYING MOUTHS, bitches. How plain does one have to make it?
“Cleaning Up” our neighborhood, in your Racist Fascist Mindset, means running out anybody who isn’t a Wealthy Thief like you.
And, true to Republican form, you’re not going to do it on your own, or even on your own dime. You’ll use Other People to fight your battles for you then while you and your sows and your Piglets are eating at YOUR publicly funded Private Domain, maybe for entertainment you’ll get to SNEER at any Working Class person being Beaten, Tasered, Arrested,
and Tasered again for daring to be too close to YOUR publicly funded Private Domain. At Public expense.
It’s typical of Fascist Leaders like yourselves that you’re too cowardly to fight your own battles. Your lot of sodding wanker Gits are really disgusting.
If YOU are the “elites” of our society, by your own Ayn Rand “Heroes” reckoning, then perhaps it’s time you were deposed.
You’ve gotten your money on the sweaty backs of the Poor who you despise so much as to declare us Undesirables, and as Princess Lisa said, not worthy of being in HER parks.
(Remember your snotty little comments about non-Wealthy people being allowed in Acacia Park among you and your “darling” little piglets, Princess?
Those of us who you wish to arbitrarily exclude remember it very well, Bitch.)
None of you earned a dime of the Wealth you’ve stolen. The only way you keep any of it is to have Scions of the Working Class (sellouts) in the Military and Police Establishment to keep the Non-Monied Class in America and abroad from rising up.
Yeah, bring on Jeff Crank to help you out, he’s just another Cowardly Right Wing Punk.
Scott Walker, Koch-Licker Supreme, strikes again
In a measure not just skirting state constitution, but directly contravening it, the Anti-Workers Rights law was published Friday. Not even bothering anymore to hide their vicious agenda to deprive workers of freedom.
The only “right” workers will have is to work. At whatever wage the Big Pig Parasite Class decides is enough for them to survive on, even if it’s far less than what it costs US to produce our labor.
The Greedy-ass Rich Bitch corporate overlords would refuse to make less than a 20% annual profit, yet WE, the workers who put the money in THEIR pockets to begin with, are not allowed to decide what a fair profit for OUR labor, OUR product, would be.
Nor even to decide for ourselves what “breaking even” would be, THEIR thieving Corporate Accountants and Corporate Attorneys will tell us and if we object, what?
The traditional method for them to punish workers for being so “uppity” as to think of ourselves as Human Beings with rights, is to order THEIR Pigs to arrest us and THEIR so-called “justice” system to Imprison us, forcing US to work for THEIR corporations without any pay. If we object any further, they have THEIR Torture-freak “corrections” officers murder us behind walls, conveniently where the only witnesses will be Their Fellow Pigs.
Just a coincidence, then, that the PIG governor of Wisconsin exempted cops and “corrections” Slaves from bargaining limitations? Until he can figure a way to screw them as well.
Eat the Rich. We’ve fed the porky bastards long enough, it’s time for them to start feeding US.
So Apparently Mrs Palin really isn’t a hunter…
Meaning that she LIED about being Momma Grizzly as easily as she lied about being a “fiscal conservative”.
The root word in “conservative” is “conserve” and the reason her being a liar is so relevant is that she’ll be HERE next month promoting other lying-ass Republican “conservatives” who conserve absolutely nothing. Steve Bach, for instance, Sally and Lisa the Princess Twins, Doug Bruce.
This is third hand, from politcususaDOTcom, because some of the more so-called conservative respondents to our comments are too damned lazy to follow a link. It’s a recurrent problem and printed in its entirety, same reason.
?It’s part of the pattern of dishonesty that defines the entire right wing.
This morning, Malia Litman (owner of MaliaLitman’s “A Rebuttal to the Rogue” blog) alerted PoliticusUSA that she had uncovered a rather large lie Sarah Palin has been peddling to the American public.
Litman did an exhaustive investigation which revealed that Palin has been fooling the American people about a fundamental aspect of who she is as a person.
For two years now, we’ve been sold the notion of Palin as Mama Grizzly, the great hunter and fisher woman who spends her free time hunting up meat that she then whips up into a delicious moose stew for her huge family, all while traipsing around the country selling “feminism” as something which no longer involves women being equal partners, having their freedoms, or having dominion over their own bodies.
Turns out, this is a lie. Sarah Palin doesn’t hunt, or if she does, she does it illegally.
Here’s the background courtesy of Ms Litman’s blog :
“On Monday, September 13, 2010 Palin was in Kansas City giving another speech. It was the specific comments in that speech that alerted me to the deception that Palin has promoted throughout the last two years. She mentioned that she had “recently gone hunting in Alaska, and still had caribou blood under her fingernails. Furthering the deception, Palin said “We eat, therefore we hunt.” The idea that (Palin) would appear for a speech with her hair and make-up done, with blood under her beautifully manicured nails, was too hard to believe. (Palin) had gone too far! Palin was either lying when she made this comment, or she was announcing from her podium that she had violated Alaska’s hunting laws. A casual observer would assume (Palin) was smart enough to be alert to violation of the Alaska hunting laws after the controversy surrounding Troopergate, and Mike Wooten’s disclosure that he shot a moose out of season. A casual observer would be in error to make that assumption.”
Here is the evidence Ms Litman amassed:“1. On Saturday, Aug. 28th Sarah Palin was with Glenn Beck at the Restoring Honor Rally in Washington D.C.
2. On Saturday, Aug. 28th the Alaska Fish and Game Department announced that it would close the Fortymile caribou herd hunt after a single day. The reason for the decision to close the hunt after one day was that last year in just three days, hunters killed 870 caribou. Given the declining numbers of caribou, the Alaskan Fish and Game Department announced that hunting of caribou would cease at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29th.
3. The distance between Washington D.C. and Anchorage Alaska is 3369 miles. Even a direct flight, with no delays would take 7 hours and 30 minutes. It seems reasonable to presume that Sarah Palin didn’t travel from Washington D.C. on Sunday Aug. 29th for 7 and one-half hours, drive to Wasilla, and then go caribou hunting in what was left of her day on Sunday. If she hunted after that day, it would have been in violation of the prohibitions enacted by the Alaska Fish and Game Department. What we do know is that she gave an interview to Fox “News” the evening of Aug. 31, 2010 wearing a pink suit. There was no indication from that interview that she had been out hunting or that she had encountered any difficulty removing any caribou blood from her hands, face, or body.
4. According to the Alaska Fish and Game Department, as of September 16, 2010 there was no record of a hunting license for Sarah Palin.
5. Upon further inquiry I was advised by the person employed with the Alaska Fish and Game Department that Sarah Palin had not held a license for 2008 or 2009.
6. Because the Alaska Fish and Game Department is committed to protecting animals that might be hunted in the state, the number of hunters allowed to hunt during the designated season (even if it is only one day long) is limited. Because there are often many more hunters than animals, the Fish and Game Department holds a lottery to determine which hunters will be allowed to hunt. This lottery is held in November and December of the year prior to the August season in which the hunters are allowed to hunt. Thus the lottery to determine which hunters would be allowed to hunt in August of 2010 would have been determined by lottery at the end of 2009.
7. In order to be registered for the lottery, a hunter would be required to have a license to hunt in Alaska. Thus, because Sarah Palin did not have a license to hunt in 2009, she could not have participated in the lottery, and thus would not have been allowed to hunt caribou at any time during 2010.
8. In searching the internet for the pictures of Sarah Palin hunting, the only pictures I can find are pictures of Palin with dead animals, but she is not holding a gun or knife and there is no blood on her hands?
Only two possibilities exist. Either Palin lied in Kansas when she said she had been hunting caribou in Alaska and had blood under her fingernails, or Palin hunted in violation of Alaska law, and without a license. In either case, Palin is dishonest.”
This is a quandary we often find ourselves in when reporting on Palin. There are so many little lies which buttress the big lie, that one can be lost. But in the end, the glaring fact of Palin’s perpetual dishonesty is always apparent.
A note should be made that Palin was caught and charged with a felony crime for fishing without a license. Alaska state records show that she was charged in June of 1993, and pled no contest, to the charge which was originally listed as a felony. There is also a second charge of fishing without a license in the court records, but that charge was dismissed.
So it looks like Palin did fish at one time and did it without a license. But there is no evidence that Palin has been hunting for a long while now. Levi Johnston (almost son-in-law and father of daughter Bristol’s baby) revealed that Palin never hunted and in fact, Palin asked him to show her how to operate the gun she kept under her bed. We’ll just skip over the implications of that and the unfortunate history of Levi recanting and then un-recanting said accusations, but one can’t help but notice a similar echo here. Palin is not who she says she is.
Palin grew up hunting at her father’s knee. This seems to be accurate. But many of us grew up doing things we no longer do as adults, as seems to be the case here. This rings as accurate to me as it fits in with the way Palin lies. She takes a bite out of something that had some truth at some point and then spins it to her own advantage, much like the obnoxious drunk party goer who regales a suicidal audience with stories of his highly exaggerated greatness. The kindest thing that can be said about such people is that they are great story tellers. And Palin is indeed a wonderful story teller.
The image of Palin as the frontier pioneering woman from Alaska is a fraud on many levels. This is the latest unveiling of the image, but what should be most disconcerting is the ease with which Palin lies about anything. If it sounds good, if she thinks the voters or book buyers or speech payers will like it, she says it.
While it might seem like a small lie, Palin is selling her personality. She is running a cult of personality, not on an actual governing record or particular belief system. The things she claims to stand for (small government, fiscal conservatism) are not accurate statements about her actual governing policies. Nor do these discrepancies seem to bother her followers, who devour Palin’s narrative like starving children with nary a question as to the source. As Malia notes, Palin devoted an entire page in her hagiography “Going Rogue” to pictures of herself as the great huntress.
Anyone who lies this easily and about things so easily proven false and not even particularly relevant other than in propping up a false image is not someone who can be trusted at the helm of any office.
When Sarah Palin speaks, when she says the sky is blue, you should always double check. Rarely will it be true.
That’s just the way it is. I suggest when we show up for her appearance we have a giant banner with a picture of the 9 year old AMERICAN Christina Taylor Green who was killed in Tucson by a lunatic Cult-Follower of Sarah Palin.
To any of the “conservative” hate-speech audience who get all their opinions from Fox “news” and Limbaugh, and want to express shock and OUTRAGE! that somebody would point out their collective guilt in that shooting, I have one answer.
“Piss off, you grotty wankers”.
You Tea-Tarded sons of bitches knew fully well that there’s plenty of heavily armed stupid people in America who will do anything including and especially murder to impress their “leaders” like Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
Shit, you made a huge hate speech hissie-fit about Charles Manson convincing people to kill based on the lyrics to Beatles songs, but you then insist that telling the Loughner-Like Lunatic Losers that they should KILL people YOU defined as “Enemies, Traitors, Un-American, Terrorist Sympathizers”<<YOUR OWN WORDS, BITCHES… but somehow YOU aren't responsible for the dumbasses acting out on your commands?
Y vuestras mamas tambien, putos.
Lisa Czeladtko Kills Babies!
So do all the real estate industry Sucks who support her and her Kid Killing Komrades like the developers of that Toxic Waste Dump directly across 24W /slash/Cimarron street, where they’re building quarter-to-half million dollar McMansions on TOXIC WASTE. Which is releasing even more of the toxins which are buried there into Fountain Creek.
Extrneme, says you? Not so, says me.
Those toxic chemicals like Mercury, Cyanide, Arsenic, Copper Sulfate, Lead Sulfate, Chrome Oxide, other poisons which are a result of the Oil, Gas, Coal, Metal extractions induustries supported by, and supporting the candidacy of BABYKILLERS LIKE PRINCESS BARBIE Czeladtko and substantially more than half of the candidates running for Mayor or City Council in less than a month.
These are the people who sold their own souls and the lives of everybody else, including and especially the children, to the Corporate Monsters. Yet they run their campaigns on the outright LIES of “morality, decency, family values” and other so-called “conservative” garbage.
The “conservatives” conserve nothing but their own Fascist power structure.
They should be ashamed but, tragically, they’re not.
Instead of blaming their “conservative” values of dumping toxic chemicals into the waters, they blamed a tiny minority, the Homeless PEOPLE, for bacteria in the creeks, rather than the HomeFull people with their dogs crapping in their yards. Standard Rich Reich Wing hyperbole.
Demonize the poorest CITIZENS, who, in a not very coincidental Bizarre Coincidence, were cut completely out of the vote for this election cycle, while Ms Czeladtko and her Fellow Baby-killing Local Aristocracy work on ways to make their disenfranchisement permanent.
Because, to Princess Barbie and her ilk, we the people don’t deserve representation, only the Rich do.
Drill Baby Drill is exactly equivalent to Kill Babies, Kill.
Sarah Palin and her clones like Princess Lisa can kiss my ass about that.
Princess Lisa, “conservative” spends city funds threatening opposition.
Princess Lisa sent this Email, cc’ed to Dennis Hisey, Amy Lathen and Sallie Clark, her TeaBag Terrorist accomplices, and to the Fascist Sheriff and Police Chief: I assume these are copyright violations.
Ed,
I am forwarding this on to Chief Meyers of the Colorado police department and El Paso County’s Sheriff Maketa. Your videos are inappropriate, threatening, include sexual content, promote violence and hate, you have written defamatory statements against elected officials, and are probably violating copyright laws. I will ask for appropriate instruction to go through the formal process to keep you away from me.
End Quote
I watch Ed’s videos. Sex? Violence? Nope. Defamatory? How does one Defame the Infamous?
Promoting HATE? You’re a TeaBag, for God’s Sake! The ones with the endless supply of Deranged Lone-Wolf Social Misfits who you talk into doing your dirty deeds for you, the ones YOU and your fellow ChickenHawks are afraid to do for yourselves.
And a “limited government” candidate spending Taxpayer Money to demand the Police do your thug work for you. Shame on you, Princess!
Ok… So, if she’s still playing along… Lisa, look, hun, it’s like this. Calling the Cops is for CRIMINAL offenses, not for pointing out that your pals are a bunch of Nazi freaks who pack automatic weapons IN America because they want to kill AMERICANS..
Not forgetting that none of your Ku Klux Klown amigos are going to do the real killing for yourselves. Don’t you worry your Little Princess head none, though, because I’m sure you’ll find another Jared Loughner or Scott Roeder or Jim Adkisson to ideologically cleanse at least a few Colorado Springs citizens.
There’s enough lunatics in the right wing section of the world and your Hate-Mongers are good at finding them, arming them and setting them loose.
And as for pasting your face on a perfectly good movie poster for a really awful movie.
If anybody is going to file copyright claims it would be the producers of that really stinky movie. It would NOT be something that the Colorado Springs Gestapo should investigate.
Lisa, are you reading this, sometime in the near future relative to the time which I wrote this? Please, do consider this. You’re allegedly a “fiscal conservative” but really, you come off as being a hate-filled rich errr… “witch” yeah, that’s the ticket, a rich-witch MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO REAL WITCHES who will waste the already slashed to the bone city funds by using the Publicly Funded Police like they’re your own private Goon Squad because you can’t handle people making fun of you.
Please, lady, for the love of God (Montressor) drop the hell out of the race and go back to your Barbie Dream House.
Oh, me forgetted… Tea Bags no read good.
The “for the love of God, Montressor!” part was from a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, “The Cask Of Amantillado” and I’m pretty sure the only place you saw Poe’s books was at your semi-seasonal Book Burnings. You could look it up at the Librar… oh yeah, I forgot, you want to ban libraries too. Never Mind.
Labor Rally In Austin commemorated Fallen Workers
While the "grass roots" TeaBags and their Billionaire Masters were bitching about how badly victimized they think they are if they have to pay workers an adequate wage or compensation for their injuries... or deaths.
For those who think Disabled Workers complain too much about how we’re cast out by society, these are mock coffins carried to commemorate the ones who are now forever silent and can no longer complain about how deregulated workplaces, Union Busting TeaParty “heroes” like Don Blankenship and Scott Walker are literally killing us.
The one killed every two and a half days statistic doesn’t even touch the statistics about wages and health care and other compensation for our work, being cut off because the Koch-suckers in the Tea Party…
Decided that their Bosses, the ones who funded and organized their “grass Astroturf roots” fake revolution are being “victimized” if they get a 4.9 point gain on their investments instead of a 5, and blaming the workers for demanding a fair wage and living standards. We’re not allowed to demand a profit for selling OUR products and service, OUR labor, or even to be paid what it costs us to produce it… for THEM to enjoy.
The TeaBags barely have time to turn from eating the flesh of our babies (figuratively) (ok, literally) long enough to tell us that we’re “bums” for not wanting to support their Parasite Class.
It doesn’t reflect the workers seriously injured, every day, because in Texas, and soon the rest of the nation, “job killing” safety regulations and environmental regulations will be rolled back, even eliminated. The public lands? Hah! fully privatized, or soon will be. The Lazy God-Damned Republican parasites in Ohio voted not only to silence the workers but also to seize the public lands, even the state parks, deny the public access to them while they destroy them to extract every last drop of oil and lump of coal from “their’ domain.
“Invest in America” speak-out at Lame-Bone’s Office Tomorrow
Instead of his lame-ass “town halls” like the Tea-Party ones he held for health care, remember those? The one at a Country Club on the far edge of town that started after the bus stopped running on a Friday evening, no more bus service till Monday morning? Working Class need not apply?
Then they filled the hall with a Republican Party strategy session before the “open to everyone” Town Hall? And the Republicans stayed for the “open” Town Hall, making sure nobody else could come in? Yeah… THAT old Pig tactic.
This Speak-out is outside his Luxury Office Suite, where anybody with a million-dollar annual income and a campaign contribution check has easy access. Again, Poor people, workers… need not apply.
Unless the Punk can prove that he actually does own one square inch more of the streets and sidewalks than any other citizen, there ain’t Jack they can do about it.
Bring stereo equipment, something with microphones and amps. Make sure every TeaBag sellout who works for him can hear what the REAL people have to say.
10:30 tomorrow morning, Thursday 24 Feb 2011, at Doug Lamborns congressional district office in Colorado Springs.
MoveOn.org is sponsoring, and this is an info blurb:
In dozens of state legislatures and in Congress, Republicans are proposing massive cuts to education, police, emergency responders, and vital human services—instead of asking big corporations and millionaires to pay their fair share. This is a moment for national action, so we’re holding Invest in America speak-outs tomorrow (Thursday) and will follow them up with rallies in all 50 state capitals on Saturday.
What happens to Outsourced (Steve) Jobs workers…
a Taiwan manufacturer of touch-screens ordered a switch from wood alcohol as a cleaning solvent to n-hexane. Hexane is a petrochemical that’s more volatile than gasoline (octane) but won’t dissolve plastic and rubber like the in-between number heptane.
Think mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa as one through eight.
The reason for using the carcinogenic chemical, brain-cell eating chemical? It dries faster than alcohol. Not much, but some, and made a measurable difference in production.
Profit is everything, workers, well, they’re a dime a dozen.
The iPad markets $459 retail.
The 137 workers who had the “side effects” severely enough to require medical intervention, produced thousands of these every day. What percentage of the profit margin did they receive just for their work?
Those are the wage and safety issues the Bush-appointed-but-never-revamped Department of Labor Exploitative Practices say are “over regulated” and job killers.
As opposed to Worker Killers like toxic chemicals.
The Hexane evaporates faster than alcohol and tweaked production by about 20%. Just, you know, at the cost of Human Lives. Which, had the practice continued, it would have been deadly.
Apple, in their annual report, did say that they (text below) had ordered WinTek, the company which subcontracted the production, to switch back to alcohol, provide more ventilation and to provide better safety and health education and care, and compensation. Steve Jobs has somewhat of a reputation of being honest and actually giving a damn about environmental, worker safety and wage issues. Will it be enough? 137 workers signed a letter petitioning the Board of Directors at Apple to further enforce the directives given to their subsidiaries.
From Apple’s annual report
Apple acknowledged the incident.
“In 2010 we learned that 137 workers at the Suzhou facility of Wintek, one of Apple’s suppliers, had suffered adverse health effects following exposure to n-hexane, a chemical in cleaning agents used in some manufacturing processes,” the report read.
“We required Wintek to stop using n-hexane and to provide evidence that they had removed the chemical from their production lines,” it said.
Apple said it also asked the firm to provide adequate ventilation in the factory. It will monitor the plant and will reaudit the facility later this year.
Wintek also supplies components to a number of other companies, including Nokia and HTC.
These are the working conditions that the Tea Party Extremists hope to foist off on the Rest of Americans, those of us who aren’t lucky enough to be born rich. Those of us who FEED the rich. This is what we’re fighting for.
The “conservatives” Who Conserve Absolutely NOTHING tell us, DEMAND our obedience, that we are too stupid and ignorant to collectively bargain for our rights. Our DUE.
Some of their leaders, such as George Bush and Sarah Palin, pretend Christian Piety when they make these Imperious Demands that we, the workers, surrender our future and that of our children and grandchildren, to Them so they can rob us even more.
In the Jewish, Christian and Muslim scriptures, in the Law of Moses they’re so quick to cite when it means they Get To Kill Babies either in foreign countries or here in America, there are commandments equal to “Thou Shalt Not Kill” (you have to keep the whole law, in order to judge by the law… No eating lobster, y’all, or monkey spanking either…) concerning workers rights. Don’t delay paying the people who work for you, on payday you pay them. Not after sundown (Jewish measures of a day, sundown starts the new day, like Friday at sundown is the start of Sabbath) Killing a poor man is every bit as much murder as killing a rich man. In cases of accidental death, the poor mans life is worth the exact same as the Kings life. Stealing from a poor man (failing or refusing to compensate his injuries or underpaying him deliberately for instance) is every bit the same as stealing from the Rich…
Of course, the Bible is anathema to Capitalism, which is why the Church of Palin, among (many many many) others, don’t discuss those issues.
They get their Tea Party “conservative” Morons to go out in the streets and chant and scream that simple justice, recompense for the labor which we’re required to sell to their Masters at less than our cost to produce it, is somehow “theft”. That “over-regulation” of poisons being dumped on the workers in the jobsites and subsequently dumped into the general environment, into the same drinking water they use, into the same air They breathe, into the foods They eat… is “theft”.
Never minding that they sell their OWN children and grandchildren into the Corporate Slavery HELL they’re so quick to sell us, and ours, into.
Again, a challenge to the TeaPotty and the Republitards, and yeah I’m being insulting, what you jackasses gonna do about it? Your leaders more quietly but even more surely call you much worse and you turn and lick their boots in gratitude. You bastards must really BE every bit as stupid as your Bosses tell you you are.
But if taxation to the Public Treasury is wrong, what about using Public Funds and Government Power to break the Unions, to harass and imprison workers for demanding OUR rights, to force US to pay the Corporations a tax by a different name,
to pay OUR labor at less than it costs US to produce, to sacrifice our future, our rights, and those of our children to pay YOUR Corporate Whore-lords the “profit margin” tax which they say is Their due…
Isn’t THAT Taxation without Representation?
Eat the Rich. We might as well, we paid to fatten them up.
“conservative” Pentagon budget includes NASCAR
No, really, the “Conservative” TeaPotty and Republitards have voted to continue funding sponsorship of NASCAR teams as part of their “Recruitment” budget.
Yep, get the kids into the Murder Machine any way they can. So-Called conservatives don’t even care about their own kids. Much less anybody elses’ kids.
Hell, they see a kid and they reach for their AK 47.
Why do Republican TeaTard Minutemen Klan Militia members Hate American Kids?
Why do they hate the English language so much that they continue to call their greedy overfed herd of Hogs “conservative” when it’s obvious they conserve absolutely NOTHING?
Leaving alone “patriotism” and “freedom” and “morality” and “family values” and Christianity.
Just a bunch of babykillers as far as I can see.
Why don’t the NASCAR drivers go into the military, seein’ as how they’re so all fired up about going to other countries, taking everything from the people and killing anybody who objects? (especially the kids, them Republicans sho’ does love them some babykilling) Couldn’t possibly be that they’re not healthy enough, they brag all the time about being Professional Athletes. Then again, so does Rush Limbaugh’s equally Chickenshit brother David.
Guess they’re as skilled at lying as they are at being Gutless Wonders.
Bush/Blair have a fall guy!
Iraqi Defector gave defective evidence deliberately, US/UK Defective Detectives failed to notice. See? The Bush, Blair and other governments who launched the blatantly profit-driven war weren’t actually Lying to us in any way, oh, no… They were Misled by a bad ol’ Iraqi. That makes all better, they weren’t dishonest, just stupid. Dig that thar hole a little deeper boys… you’ll dig your way out eventually… lying cowardly profit-hungry chickenshit pukes… LONDON (Reuters) – An Iraqi defector made up claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction to help topple his government, Britain’s Guardian newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The defector, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, said in an interview with the Guardian that he had fabricated claims of mobile biological weapons and clandestine factories made to German intelligence officials throughout 2000.
Former U.S. President George W. Bush and other high U.S. officials cited the threat posed by Iraqi biological weapons as justification for the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
No such weapons were found and years of political and sectarian bloodshed followed In Iraq, resulting in more than 100,000 mostly civilian deaths.
“Maybe I was right, maybe I was not right,” Janabi, codenamed “Curveball” by U.S. and German intelligence officials, told the newspaper.
“I had a problem with the Saddam regime,” he said. “I wanted to get rid of him and now I had this chance.”
The information from Janabi formed the basis of a 2003 speech by former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell before the United Nations Security Council.
The Guardian said Janabi had told a German official about mobile bioweapons trucks during 2000.
The German secret service, the BND, which had identified Janabi as a Baghdad-based chemical engineer, approached him in March of that year and again in 2002 looking for inside information about Iraq.
“They gave me this chance. I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime,” Janabi said.
“Believe me, there was no other way to bring about freedom to Iraq. There were no other possibilities.”

So in other words, they based their claims on the word of one man who had a hateful grudge against Saddam Hussein. Now, if they’d found one of Saddam’s FRIENDS to testify against him that would have been enough evidence to launch an investigation.
The Bush/Blair doctrine was that “if there’s a 1% chance” they had a duty to launch the war, and destroy the economy of every country involved and kick the props out from under the rest of the global economy as well.
How about THIS? Since a lot of the Leaders of the “externally induced coup” claim to be fundamentalist Christians or Zionist Jews or even Muslims, (Saudis, Jordan, Mubarak-the-ex-satrap-of-Egypt, Turkey…) why not do what Jewish/Christian/Sharia law commands, and judge the accusers by the same standards they used to make their judgments?
A lot of people, even non-religious, know the saying, or at least part of it, “Judge not, lest ye also be judged…” and the rest of it “for by the same measure with which ye judge shalt thou also be judged”
How ’bout it, Bush apologists? Colorado Springs Christian Schools, you up for some good ol’ Biblical Judging? Is there a 1% chance that Bush/Blair/Cheney were deliberately lying and deliberately provoked the wars for the profits of the Oil Corporations who they represent far above the representation of the rest of the citizens of America and Britain?
C’mon, folks, They Set The Measure For The Judgment.
The Bible says that if you perjure yourself, “bear false witness against thy neighbor”, you know, one of God’s Top Ten list? then you bear the punishment that resulted by your false witness 7 times over.
Now, I’m not the killin’ sort, but remember, GW set the standard. How about find 7 Bush supporters for every 1 Iraqi killed and 2 Bush supporters for every American or Koalition of the Killing soldier killed (they count for less because so many are Bush supporters themselves) and line them all up in front of a belt fed water cooled machine gun with a deep deep trench behind them? Bush and 6 other hanged for the death of Saddam and 7 apiece for the other lynch-mob Iraqi puppet dictatorship “Justice” system victims. Sound good?
WHAT? No? but but but… y’all were so very eager to send other people over there to kill up a mess of them thar Eye-rackies based on a much harsher measure of judgment… what do you mean you don’t support the Biblical Judgment you impose on others?
Are you the ones who skip over Levitican laws about eating shrimp or blood sacrifice but not the ones about homosexuality and anything else you can twist around to make yourselves feel good about killing Other People to “fulfill the commandment”?
Shame, brethren and sistren, SHAME!
How about them AMERICAN WMDs? Even the ones alleged to be in Saddams possession were American, British, French and German made… America has more of every class of WMD than the rest of the world combined, does that mean that any nations in the world, especially since Bush/Blair launched their unjustified invasion of foreign nations, thus placing US in the same class of criminal conspiracy as alleged against Saddam Hussein and al Qa’eda, could theoretically form their own “Koalition of the Killing” and just invade us and kill up a mess of Americans?
Why not? You claim to speak for every American or even every Christian American, as though you had the authority from God to do so, Right? The essence of Dominionism.
To the so called “Conservatives”: Merry God-Damn Free Market!
You know how the Adam Smith/Reagan/Ayn Rand brainwashed disciples preach that “A rising tide lifts all boats”.
What they don’t mention is the Rich have it rigged so their Wage Slaves can’t afford a God-Damn boat. They’ll also get some Really Stupid Morons like the TeaBags and any other non-wealthy person Retarded enough to do their bidding, tell the rest of the working class that there actually IS opportunity if only we save enough money from our slave-wage jobs to invest, we’ll get a whole $50 a week from our 401k if we work ourselves to death putting millions of times that much in the pockets of the Rich Bitches.
All y’all who say otherwise, boy Howdy! The professional liars who work for the Filthy Rich Pigs sure got YOU!
Problem is you bastards are too God-Damn DUMB to know it.
You’ll even voluntarily go to other countries and kill other working class people so your Rich Masters can rob them the same way they rob YOUR dumb asses. They’ll even tell you you’re fighting for “freedom” and that you’re giving the people you’re slaughtering an “opportunity” and “civilization”
Yeah, you’re giving them the opportunity and freedom to be good little Civilized Slaves who don’t talk back.just like your retarded slave ass, and your children who you’re selling into the same slavery.Or if they don’t accept that “opportunity” you’ll kill them. In a “civilized” manner of course. And their kids. What’s up with the babykilling, you realize that once you slaughter some kids’ families right in front of them they’ll hate you forever? Worried that once they get big enough to pick up a gun they’ll blow your Slave-Soldier sons and daughters to Hell, to join you?
That’s what your Leaders say. There’s a quote that’s attributed to Custer, and Chivington, and Sherman, “Nits make lice”.
The reason it’s attributed to so many is your Leaders echo each other. A LOT.
That’s another point with you Stupid so-called “conservatives”. You’re too damned retarded to come up with your own sayings, so you repeat shit your leaders tell you to chant. Support the troops, back the badge, My country right or wrong, love or leave it, Four legs good, two legs baaaaaaaaddddd….
And if you don’t go overseas to murder civilians to keep the others from questioning the so-called “authority” of your Rich Bitch Masters, you can get a similar job as a Police Officer right here.
Lick them Rich Folks boots, BOY! Slurrrrrp slurrrrppp slurrrpppppppppp!
You stupid bastards sho’ does love you some bootlickin’.
I know because you keep insisting that I join you for a feast of Rich Folks’ shoe polish. Sometimes threatening or even on occasion committing acts of violence in order to try to get me to join you in your slavery.
Jokes on you, your Rich Bitch masters aren’t going to allow YOU to be anything more than their servants. Your kids and grandkids too.
Birther Soldier contesting orders based on Stupidity
Army Doctor from Greeley Colorado is contesting his orders to Greater VietRaquiStan based on the Retarded conspiracy theory advanced by Fox news and everybody else who is upset that a Black man is president of the United States.
People who protested being sent into the meat-grinder based on the very real fact that Killing Babies and Other Humans is inherently immoral, no such media adulation. Gee, I wonder what makes the Kolorado Klan Kolonel so special? Couldn’t be any inherent racism among “conservatives” right?
Hey, I don’t have MY original birth certificate either. If the birthers wish to question MY citizenship they can goddamn do it at gunpoint.
…on their way to kissing my ass. They’d have to do it five or six on one, too, because that’s the level of their courage.
When they say they’re not Racists they lie. Seems they do a whole lot of lying. A characteristic trait of cowards.
They didn’t question McCain on the issue of HIS birth circumstances. McCain is obviously white.
But to concoct their corny conspiracy they would have to ignore their other Racist Anti-Immigrant rhetoric about how terrible it is that a (non-white) child born to an American Citizen is himself an American Citizen. They bitch whine and snivel about it so much, they even call it “Invasion in the womb”, they must either believe it’s Gospel Truth or they’re deliberate liars. Their leaders at Fox know the difference.
So why would an American seek to hide the circumstances of her American Citizen childs birth? There’s only 2 jobs in the entire United States government that demand you be born on American soil, and in 1961 NEITHER of those jobs were available to anybody “of color”. It was before the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, which the Birthers (in a non-racist manner of course) also bitch whine and snivel about.
In every one of the states of the Former Confederacy and several other states “colored” people were restricted from voting by every unconstitutional means possible. The parents and grandparents of the BirtherTards were having episodes of hysteria because the recently inaugurated President was a Catholic.
In most of those states Momma Obama would have been prosecuted for “miscegenation”. But somehow in 1961 a plot was hatched to put a black man in the office of the President of the United States.
No Sale. The Klan and their related TeaBag and Minuteman sucks lose another one.
Remember Fred Thompson and his Little Red Pickup?
The one that he had somebody deliver to a short driving distance from his rallies, so he could pretend to be “jes plain folks”?
He’s doing Bankster Commercials. Yep. Working for an investment group, who are hawking a “reverse mortgage”. While being a Republican and therefore supporting their loud cries for the Government to cut off any loan guarantees, he smoothly lies to the people and says it’s a Government Backed Guarantee. What a hypocrite.
Fits right in. If I had any doubts of whether the now-privatized program is unsound, that settled the doubt.
Why it sounded fishy before, first, it’s not really backed by any actual cash. And it was always administered through the private investment bankers. Like AIG who had to be bailed out because they’re just such wonderful stewards of other peoples money.
Then there’s the idea that while their customers are walking over the grass, and the grass ain’t walkin’ over them, they can’t be evicted. The ones whose Social Security and Health Care are on the chopping block, in a charge led by… the banksters and their new spokesfreak.
Gentle Readers, if you’re already invested in this, whenever the Banker comes around to visit, don’t eat or drink any gifts he brings.
Right Wing running with scissors on the Accidental Missile reports.
A couple of linked together “patriot” and “minutemen” websites said “Mexicans launch missile off California coast.”
Nice racist touch, there, Bubbas!
They weren’t accusing the government of Mexico, either, just “mexicans” as in “anybody with swarthy skin and a Spanish surname/accent” This mirrors Lou Dobbs preposterous statements on the same websites and similar ones, that “mexicans” had shot his house while he wasn’t home, no witnesses, and no suspects. If they don’t know who if anybody did it, how would he know it was “mexicans”? There’s a lot of people who don’t like his racist bullshit. Cops aren’t investigating it as a shooting, just a “report”.
Then there’s the notion that Obama rigged the missile launch “accident” as part of a Socialist plot to disarm. Yeah, right.
First, O Stupid ones, Obama couldn’t pass for Socialist even compared to Republicans. Or some hippie peacenik, I mean, come the hell on, military spending and hostilities have INCREASED, which should delight the ChickenHawk squadron no end, but apparently not.
The only accurate observation they’ve made so far is that he’s darker skinned than Bush. Gee, nothing racist about that.
Then, there’s the “North Korean Submarine” angle, which would make sense, American warships have been test firing missiles in “international” waters just off the coasts of China and N. Korea, but only in a non-provocative way. If it WAS then what the Hell special right do the DumFoxer chumps have to get their knickers in a knot about some other Sovereign Nation running a missile test in international waters.
And why don’t they have their panties in a wad over Mr Bush and his demon-spawn extended family still spending blood money made when Grandpa Prescott Bush made a Faustian deal with the Nazi Regime, financing them and smuggling arms for them, even AFTER they sank the Reuben James in American Territorial waters?
Back to the non-existent Socialism, what, didn’t the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics also have a missile program? Aren’t they forgetting a few tiny details in their racist dumbass propaganda there?
While the rest of the world celebrates Armistice Day…
We have Veterans Day, or, as I like to put it, “your recruiter lied to you and society used your entire childhood to condition you to accept that, so to make up for getting screwed like that we’ll have a postal holiday and a parade for you”.
Just, you know, don’t actually expect those benefits they promised you BEFORE you signed the enlistment or induction papers, and try to keep in mind as every politician with access to a microphone is praising your decision to “serve the country”, that the renaming of the day as Veterans Day was a deliberate ploy to try to ease the sting of the use of United States soldiers, led by Doug McArthur, Dwight Eisenhower and Patton, to fire on an encampment, daily parade and daily petition to President Hoover to actually honor the promised benefits to Spanish War and World War 1 veterans.
Instead Hoover gave their pensions to Investment Bankers, like his party and their TeaBag affiliates are promising to do AGAIN, only now they’ve got Social Security to give to the Investment Bankers along with them.
They’ve also got enough RepubliFascists who ran under the false flag of Democracy selling your benefits to the Banksters under the equally false flag of “Bipartisanship”.
But, you’re supposed, under the agenda set by these Thieving Murdering Bastards, to remember your fallen comrades… instead of remembering your LIVING Comrades, and yourselves, and your families, who are getting bent over the Proverbial Sink and preparing to be ass-raped by the Thieves once again.
Another challenge…
Bob Balink, and any other City/County/State official who made the idiot decision OR WAS IT? to move the West Side polling place from the center of population, 20th and Pikes Peak, into a warehouse district on the far side of the highway from where most people live and as far away from a bus route as you can possibly get and still be in the Springs. I’d like to see, especially Balink with his long history of Vote Suppression and Voter Intimidation, strapped into a wheelchair and see if HE can maneuver that sucker up 21st street to Busch street, from say, Cucharras street. Have him try it on a day when there’s high traffic load and construction closing off lanes, remember there’s no sidewalk up either road. Not continuous anyway and the parts that exist haven’t been repaired in a couple of decades at least. Thank You Doug Bruce. See if any of you Republican Tea-Bag THIEVES can actually do it. Then try to get down to the polling place.
Want to try it even more? do any of the above walking with a rock in your shoe to approximate the pain of walking with orthopaedic injuries.
Have your socially Retarded supporters who drive up 21st and attempt to run over pedestrians, bicyclists and even people in wheelchairs and hurl obscenities and even objects at us as they thunder by in their oversized Replacement Penis SUVs and status-symbol pickups that never saw the inside of a real job site. I know they’re your Supporters because they have bumper stickers all over their “cars” that loudly proclaim themselves to be “conservatives” (while wasting everything) and that Yellow Tea Party Flag that matches their Yellow Tea Party Bellies. Try it, Balink, Bruce, any other Republican Retards
Then try real hard to explain how that’s not an attempt to suppress the vote on the most Democratic part of town.
Here’s an interesting challenge.
Since the Republican’t Party is taking their senate still-minority, and running it up as a National Mandate to repeal Health Care, why not have a two-part challenge. For the Democrats, have a lame duck vote and put the public option in to Health Care right where it belonged all along.
You’d get back the independent voters who stayed away in droves.
For the Republicans and TeaBags, first, you’re complete idiots. As evidenced by your Twitter hero who tweeted thus:
“We should do to LIBERALS what Hitler did to the JEWS, give them a chance to RENOUNCE Liberalism, if they do not, send them to ovens-PatInMichigan”
See, we try not to call y’all a bunch of Nazis, then you let a Jackass like that who is One Of Your Own, call you Nazis who have a strong desire to Kill Your Fellow Americans. Even though you have a cop-out you’ve already played again and again, that anybody who doesn’t agree with your Whore of Babylon Palin is “not a REAL American”.
Which shows the depth of both your hatred and stupidity.
The challenge for YOUR party would be along the lines of, either YOU take out YOUR (he’s white too but that’s just a coincidence, right?) Trash or those of us you’ve targeted for Forced Extinction can hang him around your collective Scrawny Neck like the proverbial albatross. Call me Ishmael.
Thank you God in Heaven for creating really STUPID people who are literate and articulate enough to express their hatred so bluntly. I know the guy is white or at least uses a white BOY for his avatar. The idiot is genuinely shocked that people don’t like that shit.
If he has in fact been threatened by people who are on his target list, well, what should he expect? Most people don’t like being threatened, and for those of our Right Wing readers who are Cops, Soldiers, Judges or other Pigs, in your professions if somebody says anything that sounds like “Cops, Soldiers, Judges or other Pigs should be exterminated” you either have him shot on the spot or you put him in prison charged with making THREATS, and your sadistic Sexually Deviant prison guards torture him until he’s completely broken, thus not as sexually attractive to them, and then kill him.
Just pointing out that fact so your worshipers will understand the full import of any response you make to that. If they’re actually capable of any kind of comprehension.
If you believe that to be insulting, just look to your Comrade who’s picking a major fight in the hopes you’ll back his stupid shit up. THAT’S insulting and it’s coming from your own side. Deal with it.
