Jwhop, enough with attempting to speak on my behalf. Who on this forum is applauding his death? Not me. I made a neutral statement about a religious deity in recognition of Ami Anne's words. I in no way made gloat filled remarks about Breitbart's death. You really need to direct all that repressed anger you hold for anyone who disagrees with you towards an alternative direction. Maybe try yoga, it's too much on the soul to hold that much anger in your heart for those who don't agree with you.@Kat IP: Logged |

‘Burn in HELL!’: Shocking Tweets Celebrate Andrew Breitbart’s Death March 1, 2012 Billy Hallowell When an individual passes away, regardless of his of her ideological positions, one would expect he or she would receive respect. In the case of new media mogul Andrew Breitbart, who died early in the morning on Thursday, there has been a surge of vile commentary spewing across the Twitterverse. From comparisons to Hitler to individuals tweeting that they are content the pundit has passed, the messages are disturbing at best. Below, The Blaze has assembled some of the most disturbing messages we’ve seen on Twitter over the past few hours: @readjunk: I wonder if the state of Douchery will lower it’s flags at half mast? #AndrewBreitbart @towndrinker: good riddance to bad rubbish. no reason to mourn someone who made it their business to make this world a less pleasant place. #breitbart @Sttbs73: It is very hard to have sympathy for an evil person like Andrew Breitbart! I am done being NICE. @darrenfiorello: People don’t die at 43 of natural causes. But if you’re going to live a lie, you may as well die one. #tcot #p2 @Chico Delainky: I wonder how #AndrewBreitbart died? If he was found with some type of foreign object in his butt., that would be really funny. @neuteronomy: You know, I don’t often speak ill of the dead, but #AndrewBreitbart was a detestable waste of air. @PaulyPeligroso: Andrew Breitbart died doing what he loved. Not having a heart. @gabriel0923: Andrew #Breitbart has died having been finally consumed by his revolting hatred! The world is better off without him! @dac2527: Satan calls Andrew Breitbart home… Good riddance! @TheLibertyLamp: Andrew Breitbart destroyed lives based on LIES, I will not be some phony liberal and pretend condolences. ROT IN HELL ANDREW U ******* ! @dollada06: Andrew Brietbart is dead, its no Rush Limbaugh but i’ll take it! #GOP #DFL @ChickGoneBad: They say Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes. Sure, that having that much evil inside you will almost naturally kill you. @JerryWaxman2: His kind of journalism, and the “gotcha” out of context videos deserve an early death. http://huff.to/wJlRNS via @HuffingtonPost @GOP_Hates_You: @AndrewBreitbart Burn in HELL http://www.theblaze.com/stories/burn-in-hell-shocking-tweets-celebrate-andrew-breitbarts-death-on-twitter/ IP: Logged |

lieutenant, ami, you?? isn't that a bit too feminist for you?yes sirree, a woman should take responsibility for the fact that the man she married decided to drink away his troubles and beat her for being in the house. she should grin and bear it...after all it's better for the kids! not! when he throws her down the stairs, pregnant, of course it is HER fault, it was ten oclock and she was sleeping when he got home from the bar, dammit! and single mothers raise welfare rats, for sure, that is why the president is where he is today...he used food stamps to fund his campaigns, don't you know. and tell me, when the man leaves and the woman works and raises the children without his help, how is she to blame? oh yes, i know, she was too uppity and difficult so it's all her fault. right, ami? abusive men are always innocent, aren't they? FYI, there are lots of welfare FAMILIES, two parents and kids all raised together. and plenty of single mothers who raise fine children and make "something" of themselves in the process. and a great many single parents are widowed by our glorious war machine. i don't hear anyone saying they abuse their kids, do you? most single parents would give an arm or leg to NOT be a single parent. who are you to sit in judgment?

and now, bills are being passed to pave the way for making abortion illegal, including this one which actually goes so far as to make a connection between abortion and breast cancer...the only person in my family who has had breast cancer, or any other kind, was a catholic cousin who never had an abortion, but did have 11 kids...this woman had her first at 21 and last at 38.. It is scientifically undisputed that full-term pregnancy reduces a woman’s lifetime risk of breast cancer. It is also undisputed that the earlier a woman has a first full-term pregnancy, the lower her risk of breast cancer becomes, because following a full-term pregnancy the breast tissue exposed to estrogen through the menstrual cycle is more mature and cancer resistant. In fact, for each year that a woman’s first full-term pregnancy is delayed, her risk of breast cancer rises 3.5 percent. The theory that there is a direct link between abortion and breast cancer builds upon this undisputed foundation trouble is ... undisputed is the wrong word. uncorroborated, unaccepted, and disproven are more likely candidates.

No Bristol, neither you or your mother Sarah or your little sister Willow should wait by your phone for a call from O'Bomber. He's a liar, fraud and a phony. He no more believes what he says than he believed he was going to make the seas recede.Nor, does his wife Michelle O'Bomber. Imagine our surprise when we saw Michelle O'Bomber appear on the David Letterman show a few days ago. It was David Letterman who said Sarah Palin was in New York and during the 7th inning at the Yankees game, Alex Rodriquez knocked up her daughter. It was 11 year old Willow who was in New York with your mother Sarah. Sarah Palin whom, Letterman said looked like a slutty flight attendant. As you grow older and more experienced with the political left, you will come to understand there's a streak of malicious, malevolent hatred and intolerance running through the entire herd. You will also learn these are not "liberals" but they are instead hard core Marxists, Socialists and Progressives. All the self respecting "liberals" left the demoscat party over the years and became Independents or Republicans. All that's left of the demoscat party are the malicious, malevolent hypocrites who believe they can say or do anything with no consequences to themselves. And, when one of them does take some heat for something they've done or said, the rest of them circle the leftist wagons and come to their defense. I know it must be hard for your father, Todd Palin to see and hear the utterly malicious and malevolent things said about your mother, you, Trig and Willow. I know he would like nothing better than to put Bill Maher and David Letterman in a intensive care ward; because if the things said by Maher and Letterman about all of you had been said about my wife and daughters, that's where Maher and Letterman would have been taken and their networks would have been airing reruns of Lassie while Maher and Letterman recovered from their extensive injuries. But, because of the peculiar circumstances surrounding your family, primarily political, your father can't do that. You should take some comfort in the fact that, one day Bill Maher, David Letterman or some other leftist jerk is going to pop off to the wrong guy about his wife or daughters and start losing the use of some essential body parts. In the meantime, don't waste your time waiting for a phone call from O'Bomber. He's a fraud and phony whose defense of women and children extends only to his own family whom he considers off limits to malicious and malevolent remarks. And of course, other leftist women with whom he can score some political points by using them as political props. Bristol Palin: Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call? March 19 2012 Steve Flesher Bristol Palin is following the fighting spirit of her famous “Mama” Grizzly! On her blog, she wrote a very compelling message to the President. "Dear President Obama, You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a **** , I figured I might be next. You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha. After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way: “One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said. “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.” And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture. I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives. But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung. Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family. He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.” (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.) If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you. After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager. That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits. Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you. Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women. You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you. But… What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women… even if they’re just single moms? Even if they’re Republicans? I’m not expecting your SuperPAC to return the money. You’re going to need every dime to hang on to your presidency. I’m not even really expecting a call. But would it be too much to expect a little consistency? After all, you’re President of all Americans, not just the liberals." ~Bristol Palin

Who is Sandra Fluke? Ann Coulter 03/14/2012 Did I miss the deadline for alternative opinions on Sandra Fluke? What with liberal women constantly talking about their vaginas suddenly pretending to be offended by the word "sl*t ," and conservatives pretending to be as pussified as liberals about the nasty names they've been called, I never got an answer to the most pressing question about Sandra Fluke: Who are you again? Was Fluke dragged out of obscurity after the women of America took a vote and chose her as our spokeswoman? Please, Sandra, we know how deeply private, publicity-shy and terribly busy with law school you are, but we need you to speak for us! I don't think that happened. Rather, Fluke is the latest in a long line of my absolute favorite liberal typology: hysterical drama queens. From Murphy Brown to the Jersey Girls, Cindy Sheehan, Joe Wilson and the New School's Jean Rohe, these fantasists inject themselves into a boiling-hot public debate and then claim victim status when anyone criticizes them. At least since I've been keeping score, liberals had their first brush with the dark night of fascism in 1992, when Dan Quayle said of a fictional TV character: "It doesn't help matters when prime-time TV has Murphy Brown ... mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it just another lifestyle choice." Suddenly, it was 1939 Germany and multimillionaire Hollywood elites were the Jews. At the Emmy Awards ceremony that year, the creator of "Murphy Brown," Diane English, took the occasion to say: "I would like to thank our sponsors for hanging in there when it was getting really dangerous." Really dangerous? You want "really dangerous"? Try being a pedestrian crossing Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica when Diane English is being driven to the airport! (A year earlier, English's husband mowed down the matriarch of Santa Monica's Chez Jay, killing her, while driving his wife to the airport.) Marge Tabankin, executive director of the Hollywood Women's Political Committee, said: "The community feels targeted. It's created a chill and fear reminiscent of the '50s. Let's face it: We feel we're being used as whipping boys." Yes, Hollywood liberals have got balls to spare, and that's why I admire them so much. But the Academy Award winners of liberal martyrdom are the Dixie Chicks. In 2003, Chick Natalie Maines sucked up to a Bush-hating London audience by saying, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." What an odd coincidence that the only city Maines attacked Bush in was London! In a way, it was lucky for the band that, in their entire 60-city world tour, Maines claimed to be embarrassed by Bush only in London and not, say, Lubbock, Texas. But at least we had heard of Murphy Brown and the Dixie Chicks before they demanded we all stand in awe of their raw courage. Fluke was an absolute nobody who simply thrust herself into the limelight. She's more the Jean Rohe iteration of the liberal drama queen. Rohe, you will recall, was the student speaker at the 2006 New School commencement proceedings, who bravely insulted the official speaker, Sen. John McCain. As Rohe described her decision to attack the invited speaker, every person she talked to the day before the ceremony hated McCain with blind fury. At two graduation ceremonies a day earlier, attacks on McCain brought wild cheers from the audience. Rohe's resolve to tell the audience what it wanted to hear was only hardened when she was told there would be media at the event. Sensing that fake heroism was within her grasp, Rohe explained: "It was something I didn't want to do, but knew I had to out of an obligation to my own values" -- such as the value of being popular, of getting a standing ovation and of being praised for her courage. Liberals' idea of questioning authority is to check with the authorities to see if a "Question Authority" bumper sticker would be popular. So, back to Fluke: Who is she, and how did she become the spokesperson for American womanhood? If we're allowed to submit names, I think we can do better than a Georgetown law student whose claim to fame is that she belongs to a college club on "reproductive justice." Pursuing a typical path to liberal heroics, Fluke was an utter nobody whom the Democrats substituted in a last-minute witness-switch to testify about contraception -- as if her haircut isn't birth control enough -- at a hearing on "religious liberty." Despite her credentials as a heretofore unheard-of "birth control activist," the Oversight and Government Reform Committee declined to accept this 11th-hour witness on the grounds that Fluke did not have appropriate credentials for any congressional hearing, much less one on religious liberty. That was the Republicans' first foray into "silencing" Fluke's "voice." Nancy Pelosi used an even less appropriate committee to ensure that Fluke's "voice" would be heard -- the Democrats' Steering and Policy Committee, the normal function of which is to give House Democrats committee assignments. One longtime Democratic operative admitted privately that Fluke was the least-qualified witness ever to appear before a congressional committee. As a result of the huge commotion the Democrats' made of Fluke's "testimony," she was ridiculed the same way people in ridiculous situations often are. She was called some mean names: "**** ," "prostitute," "law student" ... In full indignation, Fluke said her critics were trying "to silence women's voices." She said this on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR and a number of other national media outlets. Thus, Fluke became a liberal hero even braver than an actress standing up for abortion rights in front of a Bill Maher audience. President Obama called Fluke and told her that her parents should be proud of her and to make sure she was OK. Hillary Clinton said conservatives were trying to control women. Bill Clinton called her to see if she had any plans for the weekend. (Fluke seems to be holding up wonderfully under the nightmare of constant TV appearances. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd think she's enjoying herself tremendously.) I don't care what liberals believe. Just please stop telling me they're courageous for saying exactly what every non-Fox media outlet in America is dying to hear, or I'll throw up harder than Rick Santorum did when he read John F. Kennedy's speech. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=50215&s=rcmp
