I was just on Larryflynt.com and asked him if he might like to go after Breitbart like he did the Congressional Republicans in 1998 cause Breitbart is, no hyperbole an enemy of the American people.<br /><br /> He destroyed Acorn, he's after SEIU, he even wrote some very silly piece about the Census last year after going "unvercover" he revealed that on training days they sometimes allow you to leave early and yet claim a full day on your time card! What a scandal. I know about this as I worked there myself last year. <br /><br /> This is what his opposition to "Big Government" amounts to: oppostion to anything that serves the American people.<br /><br /> Weiner deserved better, but kudos to Flynt he offered Weiner a job for more pay than at Congress. <br /><br />http://larryflynt.com/?p=1222&cpage=1<br /><br /> http://diaryofarepublicanhater.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-defense-of-anthony-weiner.htmlMike Saxhttp://diaryofarepublicanhater.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-21934704897051667392011-08-20T12:51:49.616-05:002011-08-20T12:51:49.616-05:00Excellent work!!!!

CNN should be made aware of Dana's completely insane and unprofessional behavior. <br /><br />On a side note, it really intrigues me that Breitbart (or even CNN) remains so silent about the Phillip Hinkle/Criaglist rent-boy scandal. <br /><br />After the bizarre media feeding frenzy Breitbart unleashed on Anthony Weiner, and his claims that the his media circus had nothing to do with politics, but with decency, its odd that Breitbart is so unconcerned about Hinkle. <br /><br />I think he only addressed it briefly, when asked about it in a radio interview.<br /><br />Contrast that with the breathless, minute by minute side show that Breitbart staged around Weiner.<br /><br /> Regardless of Weiners sexting, its cover up or what not, the event was for Breitbart, a sadistic exercise in slowly destroying a person through an excruciating execution by public humiliation.... and using every media vehicle in sight to do so.<br /><br />Breitbart clearly got off on the pain and humiliation that he knew he was causing to Weiners family... he relished it on national tv.... he coupled it with ostentatious and dishonest claims of wanting to "help" rep Weiners family, only to shower the air waves with every sort of nudey pic he could gather. <br /><br />The whole time Breitbart claimed it was only about the integrity of public office. He also claimed that the media unfairly targets conservatives in such affairs. <br /><br />But when it comes to an anti-Gay hypocrite like Hinkle trying to solicit sex from a guy young enough to be his son, where is the breathless media circus that we saw around Weiner, and which Breitbart managed in such a conniving way? <br /><br />I would expect a dishonest charlatan like Breitbart to be as dismissive of the Hinkle case as he has been. <br /><br />But what about the supposed "bias" that Breitbart and other conservatives constantly whine about-- that is, the false claim that Republicns are unfairly targetted in sex scandals by the "librul media", while democrats are not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-6770842963683433222011-08-17T21:10:59.646-05:002011-08-17T21:10:59.646-05:00Hello Adam,

You are correct the side door was there for the volunteers. I was contacted by Jim McHugh and asked if I could round up some UAW members to help set up the table for the panel and chairs. <br /><br />We got there about half an hour before the event was to start and was working our way to the front door when Jim called and told us to come around to the side door. We went in and set up the auditorium as instructed. We did not recieve any pay other than having a row of seats provided. <br /><br />The audience seemed to be more anti Carnahan than not. Everytime he would try to speak the tea party would scream Liar liar drowning out nearly every word he would speak. They even shouted down everyone that tried to speak. It was embarassing to see a US Congressman treated that way. <br /><br />As I was leaving the event I came upon the fight as it was just breaking up. At the time I passed I was very angry at Perry and Elston for allowing themselves to get into a situation that would cast a bad light on organized labor. I later talked to Elston over dinner and apologized for wrongfully thinking that. He explained the whole event to me and I carry guilt even now for feeling the way I did towards both him and Perry. <br /><br />I am sickened to my stomach at how the tea party and Brietbart twist their lies and attack good hard working innocent people. <br /><br />Adam thank you for all you do.

This is forty years of AC experience talking, and yes, I've been bit a few times.<br /><br />Also, in the first sentence of Judy's tale, she says that the military is protecting facilites, but then goes on to state that the put-upon workers managed to slip cats in somehow. So, no soldier is no match for no cat, I guess, to paraphrase Sylvester.<br /><br />It's hard to search for contemporary accounts of this since Ancel specifies no time frame for it, but I do find it difficult to believe that such an occurence wouldn't merit some newspaper coverage, and sure enough, a good faith google produces nothing (except links to right wing sites citing the Breitbart piece approvingly).<br /><br />And of course, all this leaves aside the fact that cats famously can't be expected to do anything you want, and can in fact be reliably depended upon to do the opposite.<br /><br />So I'm just saying the story is apocryphal, unsourced, incredible, and not worth considering in any discussion-- of anything.<br /><br />In other words, right up Breitbart's alley.Chris Vosburgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-51844088838675008622011-08-15T19:13:19.743-05:002011-08-15T19:13:19.743-05:00You long-haired hippy, you needs to stop usin'...You long-haired hippy, you needs to stop usin' them Wash U reesources 'cause they're making you too smart fer us!

It be aweso...I'd love to debate the both them. It be awesome. Here's some facts I'd add to the areas being addressed:<br /><br />Why was Dana or any tea party representaives at the town hall which was supposed to be about medicare and to answer questions medicare recipients had to changes. The answer to that is they were there to harass Carnahan and they succeeded in creating a three ring circus. Imagine how you would feel if you were a "private citizen" who had attended to learn more about your Medicare plan and what you got was the ridiculousness that ensued? If anyone instigated the scuffle Gladney was involved in it was the presence of the Tea Party and their inflamatory, volatile behavior.<br /><br />Point #2 - we've all seen the video. Gladney was not beaten or attacked. He had words with some people which resulted in a small scuffle where he lost his balance and fell down. The one SEIU guy even tried to catch him to keep him from falling down, and was probably charged with assault because of it. I didn't have to be there to know what happened. The video was very clear.<br /><br />Next, what business is it of Loesch or Briebart of the Tea Party what is being taught in a classroom at UMSL???? It's not their business. If a student or students had a concern with content taught in a class there is a procedure that student can go through to report the concerns. Trying to get people fired because you disagree with them is the most immature, scum-sucking, inexcusable thing I've seen these people do.<br /><br />So seriously. Bring it on! I'd love to debate them both!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-14023999056007136782011-08-15T11:30:16.383-05:002011-08-15T11:30:16.383-05:00Blogagog, I'm happy to allow "dissenting ...Blogagog, I'm happy to allow "dissenting views" so long as they include substance, such as arguments about particular points.
