QUOTE OF THE DAY: 
GLENN BECK AT CPAC 2010:
‘Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I’ve got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government…I’m addicted to spending and I just don’t want to spend today.’

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

I don’t have a link to the audio of this caller’s statement, but he called into the Howie Carr radio show on Friday, January 8, 2010 between 4:25-4:35pm and said in part, “If he wasn’t in the White House today he would be on the no-fly list”. In other words, “President Obama is a right wing terrorist like al-Qaida is and if he hadn’t been voted in the U.S. government would be keeping their eye on him because he’s dangerous”! Of course, right wing neck drooler Howie Carr agreed with the caller as he usually does but when a liberal caller is able to get through to talk to him on his show to question him, Howie acts like a 4 year old whiny child and hangs up on the person. See? Howie is a true jackboot licking Bushitler worshiper to the end! War is terror Howie and for George Bush’s 8 years you worshiped that kind of terrorism!
What a bunch of assholes they are on the Howie Carr show. If you’re not walking around with a Bush-shaped dildo up your ass, worshiping the man, and are darker than pasty white, then they believe you surely must be a terrorist!
Gawd I hate them.
It’s no secret that I think Howie Carr is a vile right wing Pig, so it was a little amusing to me to be listening to him the other day go on a rant about how he believes that the recent Newsweek cover of Sarah Palin is the most sexist cover he’s ever seen. Man, I was starting to think that ole Howie was truly changes his colors before my eyes, but then I made the mistake of listening to him again the day after his rant, because during this particular rant about Alexandra Kerry (daughter of John Kerry whom Howie hates and despises!) getting an OUI, ole Howie proved me correct that he is a sexist right wing Pig by telling his listeners (paraphrasing but close), “You gotta see this photo of Alexandra from a few years ago! Hey Sandy (his assistant on the program), put that photo of her up on the website so everyone can see it! I’m telling you right now….if I had to arrest someone dressed like that, I wouldn’t be able to!”.
Here’s the “non-sexist photo Howie believes is nothing compared to the one of Sarah Palin on the cover of Newsweek” (NUDITY):
And here’s the “extremely sexist photo of Sarah Palin on the cover of Newsweek” that Howie practically committed suicide on the air for:
Get it now? According to Howie he’s very good at knowing sexism when he sees and he believes it’s not sexist to put a photo up on your website showing the nipples of the daughter of a sitting Senator for everyone to gawk at, but it is sexism if you put up a photo of Sarah Palin on the cover of a magazine where she’s wearing shorts and not a nipple in sight!
See?
Israeli children a few years ago writing on bombs intended to kill Palestinians…
Right wing Fundamentalist Christians in America believe President Obama is the anti-Christ. I don’t agree with this conclusion, of course, but I am quickly thinking the Israeli government could be the anti-Christ who talks like they’re all about peace and security, when really, they just love the idea of killing people to enrage their neighbors so American soldiers will come to their defense and die. Someone needs to tell the Fundie Christians! Oh wait. They most likely support the Israeli government in everything they do on behalf of Satan!
Why am I saying such things this morning? Well, yesterday I was listening to Howie Carr’s show and he had a guest on (didn’t catch his name and on Howie’s website there are no audios/videos available yet for Wednesday of this week to find it) in his first hour who was talking about Israel and Iran. This guy said very matter of factly that he had spoken to Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Benny Boy told him that there will be a war by the end of this year and Israel will be the first one to start lobbing bombs into Iran. Nice, huh? I’m very pissed about it. Not only this…
…but this morning I heard on the news that the Obama Administration is backing away from a weapons defense shield in Europe because they have information on Iran showing that this country is far from developing a nuclear weapon.
Well, Israel is mad about a lot of things lately, so what better way for them to start lashing out like a bunch of teabaggers than now? Seriously, only the anti-Christ would be yelling for years that they want peace to their people, would be committing crimes against humanity, and have at least 150-300 nuclear bombs themselves to defend themselves with….all the while yelling at the Iranians to “be nice! don’t attack us! we’re scared of you!”, but yet, is conspiring right this minute to go to war with Iran by the end of this year by attacking first! So truly, who are the ones not being very nice at the moment and who is pretending to be defenseless but is saying point blank behind the scenes that they’re gonna start killing people of another country preemptively for the hell of it, even though, they have enough weaponry to defend themselves with? Huh? Spit.
Maybe backing away from the weapons defense shield is the Obama Administration’s way of telling Israel that if they decide to start bombing Iran by the end of this year or at any time, they will not have the backing of America? Man, I hope so! How many American soldiers have to die for the oil industry and in protecting Israel (while Israel continues to act like a spoiled little child)? I say….NO MORE AMERICAN SOLDIERS DYING FOR EITHER ONE OF THESE CAUSES! The end. Bring all the troops home now and would someone please tell Israel to shut up and sit down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right winger Howie Carr of WRKO Radio of Boston doesn’t realize it, but every time he talks about how the Boston Herald is beating the Boston Globe and the Washington Post, he’s inadvertently admitting that competition in any field is a good thing and it works.
Howie Carr is a columnist for the Boston Herald in addition to being a radio host at WRKO. The Boston Globe, on the other hand, is his nemesis and he’s not afraid to say on the air how joyful he is to see this paper floundering. Of course yesterday, Carr decided to use his same rhetoric against the Washington Post, because the WaPo did an article about racism and the 9/12 Project and didn’t claim a high enough crowd size turnout, so Howie was pissed. Anyway, he made the comment that the Boston Herald is doing great still amongst these large popular newspapers, even though the Herald keeps it’s prices low. He said on Sunday the Herald is still only $2 compared to the other major Sunday newspapers (who are most likely charge up to $4 or so), is still afloat, and is not seeing a bleak future. (Say wha?)
The public option would the Boston Herald in this case. The way the public option works is it would be a government plan for the public to purchase at a price that will a lot cheaper than any private plan out there. All conditions would be covered and it would not be free to anyone who wants it. The best part is the public option will end up forcing other insurance companies to look at their prices….and for them to remain competitive in the field, they will either have to lower their prices significantly, reduce their own administrative costs (reducing CEO’s bonuses would be a start!) to keep a good profit margin, and/or they would have to be aggressive against the pharmaceuticals, the doctors, and the hospitals to keep their costs down. It’s a very simple concept and the Boston Herald is proving that it’s either ’survival of the fittest’ or get out of the way entirely and they’re succeeding and proving that even with lower prices compared to their competitors, they can still stay strong!
For capitalists, this kind of system is a dream come true isn’t it? It’s what they like in day-to-day business isn’t it? Why do they freak out at the thought of the government offering a much lower priced plan amongst Big Insurance plans? Seems to me they don’t like it because it takes away all the perks and profits that they care about. It’s all about profit margins. With the public option there would be no CEO bonuses to pay out, Wall Street wouldn’t be involved, and that right there is a good thing if you ask me. 
It’s competition or bust. The End.
A thousand points of light….

Well, it’s not surprising Howie Carr feels this way. He also laughs his ass off at the mothers of our nation who call 911 after they find their child hanging by their neck in the shed! Yes, oh yes, Howie is one of those ‘family values conservatives’ who thinks he’s holier than everyone else and believes that no child should be ‘brainwashed’ to stay in school. Say wha? The horrors!
The funniest part about the whole thing? The voice of reason on this issue is coming from the wingnut Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe on MSNBC! Good gawd the end is near!
From Think Progress:
Earlier today, ThinkProgress noted that conservatives are freaking out over President Obama’s upcoming speech to schoolchildren about “persisting and succeeding in school,” claiming that it is actually aimed at political indoctrination. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, host Joe Scarborough ripped into the hyperventilating conservatives. “Seriously, why don’t we want the president of the United States, any president of the United States, delivering the message to kids: work hard, stay in school, succeed,” said Scarborough, adding, “get your ratings if you want, you’re just screwing your political party.”
The wingnuts believe President Obama is going to brainwash our kids to kill neocons. Hey, not a bad idea but we’re talking about President Obama here! Not George Bush who would have loved the chance to brainwash America’s kids to kill liberals & Muslims. Hell, on the morning of 9/11/01, George Bush was reading the book, “My Pet Goat”, and if Glenn Beck is right when he says we must look at the patterns to figure out someone’s truth, well, “My Pet Goat” could be interpreted as how George views children! See? The real good brainwashing happened after that moment if we’re all remember correctly. *cough*
Can you imagine if George H.W. Bush went to the schools of America to talk about his 1,000 POINTS OF LIGHT? Man! Glenn Beck and Howie Carr would be livid! They would be calling Bush Sr. a ’scary Commie Socialist Pig’! Oh wait. George H.W. Bush was a republican. Nevermind. Beck & Carr were most likely fine with Bush Sr. trying to get Americans to contribute to society by volunteering and helping others out, you know, forming his own ‘national security army’ to pass the peace for the common good of society. When President Obama wants the same thing for America, he’s committing treason and is a traitor. See? Nevermind! I forgot. Spit.
First off, Howie Carr of WRKO Radio out of Boston was up to his usual hatefulness against Sen. Ted Kennedy yesterday on his show. Yes, we get that you hate the man Howie. You’ve summed up his whole life after one night of drinking that ended up with the death of a woman. He was more than that night Howie and you know it. Anyway…
The people of Massachusetts loved Ted Kennedy. He was their favorite Catholic, their favorite Senator, their favorite neighbor, and their favorite advocate & friend. Yesterday they paid their respects to him not caring one iota what Howie Carr or other vile pieces of shit had to say.
Here’s a beautiful tribute I found on YouTube that best captures the mood, the love, the day he took his last ride to Boston, and the respect for a man that deserved every ounce of affection he got by the people who loved him most, and who will get more over the next few days (the end of the video ends abruptly so don’t be surprised!):
The last time I saw this much outpouring of love for one person was when Princess Diana died. Remember the people standing along the route to her home as her casket passed by and they were crying and throwing flowers at the hearse? I remember bawling my eyes out! I loved her. I loved Ted Kennedy too and the people of Massachusetts today showed that they loved him way more! It was such a beautiful sight to see them standing on the side of the road waiting for their Senator just so they could applaud him one last time as he briefly passed by….
All walks of life waiting for their friend & Senator…
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful man.

Jodi Applegate filled in for Howie Carr (of WRKO out of Boston) on Friday, August 14, 2009, and when I tuned into the show she was talking about Michael Vick getting a million dollar contract to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. She was asking for the listener’s to call in to say if they were against Vick getting this contract or if they feel Vick has paid his price to all of humanity, is rehabilitated, and should be given a 2nd chance. Most of the calls were against Michael Vick as they should have been, but that didn’t stop Jodi from supporting Vick and what he did during each and every call! She even said that when a drunk driver gets behind a wheel and kills someone and that person does his or her time in jail, they too should be given a 2nd chance, because just like Vick, they have paid many prices.
Is she kidding us or does she truly believe that when a person is sober and is orchestrating dog fights on his property for money and when his dogs have taken a beating…..hanging them, drowning them, and electrocuting them without even batting an eye or having an ounce of compassion that the dog is suffering…..is the same thing as being a drunk driver?
JODI APPLEGATE CAN FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s the reality FuckTard:
A drunk driver never gets behind the wheel and says, “Man oh man, I hope I kill someone tonight!”. They don’t intentionally kill. It’s called manslaughter for a reason, because their actions ended up in the death of a person, but it wasn’t their intention in the first place to kill someone.
Michael Vick on the other hand………..PURPOSELY & SYSTEMATICALLY KILLED DOGS. Vick was no better than the BTK killer or the Green River killer in this aspect! He killed for the sake of killing, he was sober when he did it, and HE WOULD HAVE CONTINUED KILLING IF HE HADN’T BEEN CAUGHT! Vick started his killings in 2001 for crying out loud.
A drunk driver always pays the price (they lose their jobs, their homes, their family members, and the respect of their communities). They are not intentional killers, however, who set out each week to kill someone or their own dogs & animals. They’re stupid, yes. But they are not MURDERERS! Society forgives the drunk driver before it will ever forgive a murderer! In fact, society hates intentional murderers!
Not only did Jodi compare what Vick did to drunk drivers, but she also said PETA should be proud of Vick today and that if Vick brings the Eagles to the Super Bowl and wins it, this will be great for PETA’s cause!
What the fuck is wrong with Jodi? Anyone know?
I can see why Howie Carr has no problem with Jodi Applegate filling in for him when he’s out, because Howie loves death too. Not only does he have his Death Pool (where his listeners try to guess which celebrities will die this week) on his show, but Howie also spends time laughing at animals dying stories from around the country, laughs at the DC Madam’s mother’s 911 call after she found her daughter dead & hanging in the shed, and the more revolting the death of someone or an animal is the more Howie gets so excited about hearing it and he’ll read the story over and over in a bloody frenzy like a seriel killer would react to killing someone! I mean, really, these two are two peas in a pod. As the photo above shouts, ole Jodi & Howie would stand to the side in glee watching Michael Vick torture her dog to death. I see Jodi & Howie no different than Michael Vick at the moment: OVER PAID MORONS WHO HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING BUT THEMSELVES!
UPDATE:
I’m being called a racist & a serial killer over on the Washington Post for being against Michael Vick and his multi-million dollar contract. LOL!….
My response to this moron was:
“How many of you eat dogs? Raise your hands? If you don’t eat dogs, then shut your hemorrhoid laden mouths! If Vick was Tom Brady and Brady got caught doing what Vick was doing, you can bet your sweet bippy I’d be as pissed at Brady as I am Vick! I voted for Obama, by the way. I still support him despite all the lies thrown at him by the right wing of this country. DOG FIGHTING IS ILLEGAL. HANGING, DROWNING, AND ELECTROCUTING ANIMALS IS ALSO ILLEGAL.
Killing a cow for food is not illegal. Killing a chicken for food is not illegal. Killing a lobster for food is not illegal.
Get it yet morons? You’re the ones supporting & honoring A KILLER. I bet you’ve forgiven the BTK & Green River killer too! Idiots.”

What a crock of crap coming out of Howie Carr’s (a millionaire) mouth today (same shit, different day!). If you’re wondering where the class wars are, just tune into WRKO’s Howie Carr’s show to hear the constant berating of the poor and kicking them down when they don’t deserve it. Howie also hates the homeless in our country. He’s one of many conservatives who thinks all the homeless needs is a good long shower and a haircut to be able to make it in America! Spit. But that’s another post.
Today on Carr’s show, he stated that all the kids on the first day of school who have brand-new clothes are the poor kids, while it’s the kids of the working class who arrive on the first day of school wearing hand-me-downs. Can you believe this bullshit? Is Howie trying to make his listeners hate the poor even more than they do by saying it’s the kids on welfare who get all the benefits? Yep! That’s exactly what he’s doing! He’s absolutely lying about the poor in this country.
I can tell you right now (I’ve spent a decade and a half in the homes of the wealthy because of my job)…..THE RICH KID’S CLOSETS & BUREAUS ARE PACKED WITH NEW CLOTHES FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR. Not only that, during the school year some of these kids shop for clothes all year long! One of my customer’s daughter has a clothing allowance. A clothing allowance. Did you have a clothing allowance when you were in school? LOL! I didn’t! In fact, my father was a Union paper mill worker and my mother would order our clothes from Sears. We’re we wealthy? Nope. We’re we upper middle class? Nope. We’re we part of the working class. Yes, but that did not mean we lavished ourselves with clothes all year long. What it did mean was: THOSE WERE THE ONLY CLOTHES WE WERE GOING TO HAVE FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR and if we ripped our pants or stained a shirt….oh well! We still had to wear them. And that was that.
I remember the delivery truck showing up to our house from Sears and then being made fun of in school for the clothes I was wearing! We couldn’t afford the nice brands, but you know what, we were clothed for crying out loud! Not only that, I also got hand-me-downs from my cousins while the poor in my class never had new clothes. Same goes for today. The poor of today are not buying the latest fashions. What they are doing (and it’s what I’ve done for years with my son) is buying a couple of outfits for the new school year, buying some clothes at Christmastime (if they can afford it of course) and then clothes on the birthdays (again, if they can afford to). This is how the poor and lower middle class survives. The wealthy and the upper class? They’re buying tons of clothes every year and if they have a kid who only wants to wear hand-me-downs during school, this kid is most likely considered the ‘weird kid” at school! LOL
The class wars are coming from the right wing in this country. The health care debate is fueling it too. They think all Americans who don’t have health care are the poor ones and not the people of the middle class who have lost their job and can’t afford to buy new insurance or they have a pre-existing condition and can’t! Howie wants you to believe that it’s only the poor of America who has it good while it’s the rest who are suffering because of the poor. What bullshit!
Jodi Applegate of Fox News fame filled in for Howie Carr’s radio show this past Monday, July 20, 2009, while Howie is out of work due to hip surgery. On this Monday show, Jodi interviewed Dick Morris about his new book called, “Catastrophe”, and how Obama’s health care plan is going to destroy the planet, the Universe, and any other space & matter not yet discovered.
Anyway, Dick Morris was lying his ass off as usual…and then….”Charlie” called into the show.
(If you’re able to, you can LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL CONVERSATION HERE (fast forward to 12:20 to hear it). The audio gives you a much better perspective of what happened in this conversation, but if you’re unable to listen to audios online, here’s the automatically generated manuscript from the show (the wording is a little wacky and the best part of the conversation is not on the transcript….it’s on the audio):
JODI APPLEGATE: ” Interesting point how we car for 69. 4322. Is the number 8774694322. Charlie is on the line now with Dick Morris either Charlie what’s on your mind.”
“CHARLIE”: ” A terrible time but I don’t get a telephone I Dick Dick Nixon from some good point but he also missed it viewpoint it. One point you have to realize is that. I currently have the data Wal-Mart if you favor of the Obama plan. — reason why Wal-Mart another company. Like Wal-Mart aren’t stable I know I work for coming by the lake who — well million dollars a year for health insurance employee. That’s right twelve million dollars. How big is your health care but that’s — these — they have a lot better employees that are currently. On their plate there. But then they had to become self insured because. They can no longer afford the premium that the L.”
The few callers before “Charlie” were dead set against Obama’s plan, were making up their own facts to make themselves feel better (even Jodi was forced to take the liberal side a couple of times just to add some rationality to the discussion!), and they weren’t making any sense at all. Anyway, then truth came a knocking! Charlie said to Jodi that the company he works for was spending $12,000,000/year on health care/medical costs. Jodi immediately said, (paraphrasing), “Wow. You must work for a large company. How many employees are there?”, and Charlie chuckled and said, “1100″. Almost instantly this caller was kicked off the air. He tried to follow up on his point but he ‘mysteriously’ disappeared after a ‘mysterious click noise was heard on the audio’ and that was the end of THAT conversation!
The point Charlie was going to make is that something needs to be done because businesses in America are suffering (it’s not just the patients who are!) financially because of the cost of health care/medical insurance and with a government option out there for Americans/businesses to choose from would help in leveling out the costs all around. Oh, but the caller was never allowed to make his point of course! Charlie was speaking truth to power and he would have embarrassed the two neck droolers, Jodi & Dick, if he was allowed to talk further!
See?
Remember this story as you go through your day.
Sarah Robinson of FireDogLake writes a very important letter to the right wing of this country asking them if they’re trying to start a civil war or not. Here’s part of it…
Dear Conservatives:
Your fellow Americans demand an answer — and we want it now. Just one simple question:
Are you deliberately trying to start a civil war?
Just answer the question. Yes or no. Don’t insult us with elisions, evasions, dithering, qualifications, or conditional answers. We need to know what your intentions are — and we need to know NOW. People are being shot dead in the streets of America at the rate of several per month now. You may not want responsibility for this — but the whackadoodles pulling the triggers make no bones about who put them up to this.
You did.
The assassins themselves are ratting you out. They’re telling us, straight up, that they were inspired to act by the hate radio talkers that you empowered — one of whom is now the de facto head of the Republican party. They got it from media outlets owned by your biggest donors. They got it from bloggers who receive daily talking points faxed in from the GOP. They got it from activists representing causes that would have never become causes in the first place if the issues hadn’t been politically expedient for you.
Beyond that: You’ve already admitted your own complicity. When the Department of Homeland Security expressed their worries about right-wing extremist violence last April, practically every conservative pundit in the country went into a righteous fit. DHS never named anyone directly, so it was astonishing how many of you on the right were so quick to step up and claim that that memo was slandering you, personally and collectively. Since you were so eager to claim that that memo was all about you, now that the violence has come to pass, we’re well justified in holding you to that.
And please don’t insult our intelligence by saying that these acts are the work of lone wolves, and that you don’t have anything to do with this, and that it’s all the fault of the left. It’s true that there have always been crazies in our midst. But by choosing to gain power through a politics that only motivates through hate and fear, you’ve recruited a good-sized army of those crazies, armed them up, and turned them into paranoid monsters that are now running loose on the American landscape.
