What was the vote tally on the Civil Rights Bill again?

Here's a surprise. /sarc

Southern Democratic senator James Strom Thurmond sustained the longest one-person filibuster in history in an attempt to keep it from becoming law. His one-man filibuster consisted of 24 hours and 18 minutes of readings from the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, Washington’s Farewell Address, and various phone books. His speech set the record for a Senate filibuster.

Typical liberal pukes. Why won't the blacks of this country read their history and figure this shit out?!

is that all these idiots have to offer? Name calling, name calling, and more name calling. I guess they figure if the protestors at the town hall meetings are called enough rotten things (mob, racists,teabaggers,un-american, pussies, etc) they'll just go away. You'd think they could shut the protestors up by just explaining the bill but of course, if they explained it, no one with a brain (or earns a paycheck) would want anything to do with it. Keep it up, protestors!

What the hell happened to MSNBC? I mean I turn on that channel and its like more than just in the bag with the liberals, its the propaganda arm of the government right now. Its PATHETIC! I have to ask what the hell happened to... the "news"? If they can't have 30 seconds of objectivity of any kind, why not just call it the moonbat channel?

If that's the case, then Dingle is a true horse's ass. I usually try and post something more insightful, but for now that'll have to do the trick, and I think it's accurate.

Geez. The world is going to hell fast....

What Dingle is talking about has NO relationship to what is happening NOW with the tide of Liberty bashing up against Ubama and his Socialism. I follow one simple rule with Ubama: If he`s for it, I`m not. If Ubama is for it, it is bad for America and no amount of propaganda is going to change my mind. It just makes me angry to see all of these liars lying to my face on a daily basis. Yes, angry. I am very very angry. That`s bit different from hate and it appears the illiberals already have the corner on the hate market.

Dingleberry is a Dingledork!

Damn those Krazy Konservative Krackas!

Damn those Krazy Konservative Krackas!

I guess they're subscribing to that Nazi Germany rule of thumb...say something often enough and it will be perceived as truth, or some such. We're NOT falling for that, we are far, far from stupid.
Now, if they think this is a wise strategy, they ARE stupid.

to label an ever-growing majority of americans as klansman shows a want of intelligence.

Here's the catch. Get angry, out shout the looters in town halls, post pictures of the usurper in cheif being a socialist, rant up a storm in comment threads on Moonbattery and elsewhere; NOTHING WILL CHANGE. The idiots who elected these people will elect them again and again. Just saw on Drudge that his fellow commi-crat from MI is going to push tax and trade, because it's the right thing to do. All the outrage is not working, something else must be done, I shutter to think of the consequences, but there is only one way to regain our country.

This resembles 1994 - TIME and others had stories about the "Angry White Male" syndrome after Democrats were tossed out of Congress. The intensity this time around is much stronger and one of the key voting blocs, the elderly, are becoming more vocal - back then they really werent.

"Maybe he didn't become Time magazine's Man of the Year -- that went to the best-selling author in the Vatican. But in every other way, 1994 was the year of the Angry White Man.

He was awarded all the prizes, even the big one: The Capitol. The pundits, the pollsters and the politicians unanimously gave him the heavyweight crown. Indeed, anyone who broke ranks with this panel of judges was ... "

It's obviously time to call them out at every town meeting: The Democrats have turned into Soviet Style Bolsheviks.

Love the pol question at the bottom of the screen...

Can Pres. Obama overcome Right-Wing lies about reform?

no matter how you answer your saying any opposition is a lie.

your=you're

Does this sound familiar? What the left is doing to demonize todays protestors is the same as it was back in the mid 90s. From 1995:

http://www.publiceye.org/rightist/dj_mili.html

"RISE OF CITIZEN MILITIAS: ANGRY WHITE GUYS WITH GUNS
COVERTACTION QUARTERLY
April 24, 1995 "

And JOHN DINGDONG belongs to the extremly stupid jackass party shooting off his big fat piehole and devoid of anything resembling a brain

Off-topic, but we don't have an open thread yet.

Ras shows king zero's approval rating at the lowest yet, at 47%. Index negative 8.

Suddenly you guys don't like hyperbole? Hyperbole is your language! Funny that you only understand it when it is used to describe ideas you already believe.

does he point uot that these white sheeted people were democrats?

time to go to the record...

did you hear him carefully?

when he voted against the civil rights bill... and he doenst mention that these people causing trouble were on his side then, thats why he is smirking.

"pulling out all the stops when it comes to incongruous hyperbole"

Should we not mention that the lunatic fringe right-wing clowns are leading that charge? The next time Bible Spice twitters about how Obama plans to kill everyone's grandmothers, are you planning to step up in righteous umbrage and denouce her as the short-bus-to-school mental deficient she is?

And what about the various chimps who whine about "socialism killing all we love in America... but keep your damn government hands off my Mediacare"? I assume you plan to denouce their blatant ignorance, publicly, as hyperbole and misinformation?

Super weak... everybody's 'team' has players from the shallow end of the gene pool. Only the Dems, tho, actually seem to have a plan that does not involve whining in a vacuum. If you want people to take anything you say seriously, you have to acknowledge that the repubs are disproportionately comprised of the least-informed members of the electorate, and actually propose something. Just standing in the way and screaming nonsense is... exactly what you seem to be decrying. Why then is this website apparently dedicated to nothing else?

Dingellberry is proud if the fact that he's been in Congress for nearly 55 years. Normal people consider it obscene and disgraceful that he's been there so long.

So meh you're putting down the same tactics that the libarats did when Bush was the President. Pot meet kettle.

Ted - Irrelevant. Were we reading, we would see that I said "everybody's team has people from the shallow end of the gene pool..." i am merely pointing out the comical hypocracy of decrying this sort of reatarded knee-jerk talking-head crap... on this website, which is entirely based on hyperbolic misunderstanding of reality.

See the inherent humor? Understand now why I come here to get a good laugh? The disjointyed nature of the arguments from the induhviduals around here is great for my self-esteem... but scary in a sobering, are-these-people-actually-real sort of way.

Pete - "I mean I turn on that channel and its like more than just in the bag with the liberals, its the propaganda arm of the government right now."

Uh... were you comatose for your entire life? FauxNews has been in the propaganda game far longer than any other network... They are by far the most invasive, by far the least fair or balanced... and they play for your team. Making irrelevant comparisons is a sign of bankrupt intellect. Was there a point? You are sad because the other team is finally playing your game?

Meh I can see how your self esteem would get a big boost reading this blog because there are so many learned people that contribute. I hate to tell you this... but our intelligence will not rub off on a dimbulb such as yourself.

Well, "meh"

Regarding your plantive wail about others' whining:

I've heard that on every issue that the Lefties deem worthy, to the effect of "we like it, therefore you must have", and of course the inverse of this in "we don't like it, therefore you can't have it" (guns, etc)

All too common accusation against conservatives.

"whining in a vacuum", etc.

ie--"you guys always complain but have no answers"

But sometimes the answer is that less can be more. Thomas Jeffserson understood this too.

Poll after poll affirms that most Americans are fine with the health insurance they have.

And tell us THIS, super-sophisticate "meh"--when will the loyal and not-so-discerning press corps, which is supposed to be a watchdog on government--finally get around to calling out Obama's lying on this issue. He tells one group that single payer insurance is most certainly what he advocates and to that end it might merely take a few years to drive the private insurers out of business--to some robust cheers.

NOW all of a sudden he's turned into some Austrian-school libertarian flavor and is jabbering about something most libs disdain--an alleged "healthy market competition."

Naughty naughty.

In any case, this is what will eventually be called out to the carpet as "distinction without a difference" as what will almost certainly happen is that the "public option" WILL drive out all competition. Maybe THAT's what the POTUS means in all this billing the size of the Manhattan phone book.

So it won't make any difference if you "choose" to keep the same insurance or not. Certainly if you work for someone else, the been counters at the HR department will make damn sure to go for the freebie offered by goverment. That's human nature, and human nature trumps all written technicalities.

Has Obama explained this also in one of his handy faux set-ups, where he comforts yet another Cindy Lu Who type worried about those mean old nasty posters outside the town hall. I'm betting not.

Also, while on grim topics and smoke and mirrors, while there might not be any technical "death panels" to point to in the bill as written, we all know about a beast called "rationing"--another term you won't get from liberals, NPR's All Things Ill-Considered, or leftie websites.

Rationing means that the Fish-n-Loaves tricks are better left to the REAL Messiahs--not plain men like Obama. And to that end, it is human nature (once again) to see that if your attempt is to move from a system that covers 250 million people to one that putatively coveres 300 million, including not a few illegal aliens to the tune of several million, then you have only so many resources to spread around. After all, has the Messiah also told you he's adding thousands of NEW doctors, nurses, hospital buildings, beds, and bedpan changers in the New Plan???

Rationing in the Canadian and Euro plans and almost without exception HAVE meant that on the margins of life and cost, it seems sometimes grandma is NOT going to be reimbursed by the public option for certain costs. And almost certainly not the 15 THOUSAND bucks a month my grandmother burned through in the last days of her life. Some may choose to say this is not worth the money and effort no matter how wealthy you are or how good a plan you have.

But then--that's THEIR family option.....RIGHT?

Not if you live in some nations. SNIP. There goes the cord. Grandma at 86 years of age is not quite what the state always has in mind when it mentions productive citizenry that is "worth" the public option. Etc.

Read human nature. Read bureacracy. Then you read the fine lines and the small text.
I'm betting not on this issue too.

Also, while you might think it snarky and wordly-wise to try and pull a fast one, and maybe even get away with it from time to time, it HAS come to the attention of learned men that this whole bruha about the "47 million uninsured" is another damned lie. In this group are no less than about 11 million illegal aliens who have de facto insurance every time they get the taxpayer to plunk down money on the burdened ER units the nation over. Too, in this number there are wealthy people who pay cash and those who qualify for Medicare and Medicaid, de facto, but are not aware of it and have not pursued all options down at the local DSS office.

Someone wrote to me last month that she and her fellow libs don't "really" want more government or these multi-trillion bailouts, but that conservative economics "caused" the bank failures and lack of sales at GM. BS. Government and the Big Three automakers are the proximate cause of the bank failures and the "need" in turn for more bailouts. And so it goes.... Read More

When one's ideology has that the only thing you hold is a hammer, pretty soon everything else under starts to look like a nail and you feel that yet more government is needed.

We don't need to end up like what's left over of European and Canadian conservatives--rare as that critter is.

In other words, our Euro conservative friends do exist, but they compromise their values so heavily that no they're forced to concede ground all the time. Not good.

That leads to extinction of ideas. The line in the sand is America. It will be drawn here, for better or worse.

Wow... WT.

You have left everyone speechless.

I applaud you. Stick around, libtards don't hold a candle to you.

Keep shooting off your mouth dingdong berry your shoving your foot further down our piehole HYUK,HYUK,HYUK SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK

"Meh" said, in part:

And what about the various chimps who whine about "socialism killing all we love in America... but keep your damn government hands off my Mediacare"? I assume you plan to denouce their blatant ignorance, publicly, as hyperbole and misinformation?

Weak, eh? We'll see soon enough.

And for the last part, at least we're not proposing VOTING for a living. Conservatives by and large WORK for a living, and as we don't generally live our lives vicariously, via the Walter Mitty fantasy of politics, I'd say you'll forgive a few oversights about 1100 page bills that our elected officials don't bother to flip the pages around either.

I'd say that's weaker, and at that, I'd say we have some legitimate grips, even if granny is not about to get clunked on the head and Obama is not initiating Socialism Lite, etc.

(which...when you have multi-trillion (with a T) bailouts and now deem you can tell entire industries what they can and cannot do, you have de facto socialism to a degree.

As Burt Folsom has said, "“(M)oving tax dollars from the wallets of citizens into the hands of government bureaucrats does not create new jobs–it just shifts funds from those who spend carefully to those who spend politically."

If that's not socialism, then it's at least her ugly little sister named "Statism", where government under the Obama reign now purports to have enough info and savoir faire to run just about anything better than we ourselves.

One can only suppose that what you mean by this "uninformed" stuff about conservative activists and complainers being sampled from the lower end of the mouth-drooler gene pool, then, is that we conservatives are not quite as informed as the The Clueless Coalition of the Cockamamie

I'd sa--so fa--the evidence finds your argument to be WEAK.

"grips"-No.

"gripes" is the word, actually.

But I guess the effect is the same.

I HATE typing on tiny laptop keys....
