the Kommisariat's Kontinuing Kronicles: more right-wingery in the USA, 2k11-12

We won The Cold War, so why are black people in power???????????

is that Terry Bradshaw, middle left?

corzine

Hugo Chavez and Obama! Standing next one another! OMG, end times are near!

Well known Marxist tax exile Bono.

We won The Cold War, so why are black people in power???????????

This is not so far-fetched as it sounds. Using the State to force ppl not to discriminate and be as racist as they wanted to be was seen as a totalitarian commie move by a lot of Americans and Robeson et al, were often attracted to the Communist Party (and willing to apologize for some pretty indefensible shit) primarily because it was one of the most forthright anti-racist parties in the country.

All those 1989 proved-us-right fuckers NEVER acknowledge how wrong about race they were.

Who was it, either Chait or Pareene, mentioned that only the American Communist Party had a completely perfect record on 20th-C civil rights

Easier to do when you have no power whatsoever and no actual hope of getting any.

True.

so what's up with this proliferation of weirdo conservative facebook pages? does Rove or Koch bros have some dopey kid on staff who just sets these up and posts links all day? judging by the "likes" they get they seem incredibly popular, and incredibly active (though it could certainly be more or less the same 2 million assholes subscribing to all of them). are there a bazillion no-name lefty/ Dem groups doing this, too?

Obama Celebrates Anti-Police Riot Started at Mafia-Owned Bar for Transvestites… http://drudge.tw/Ly1jwH

Drudge hopes his readers are ignorant and/or incurious enough to take this at face value. On Friday, President Obama spoke at a reception marking LGBT pride month. The “anti-police riot” referenced by Drudge is, of course, Stonewall — one of the great, seminal moments in the modern gay rights movement.

It is in no way surprising that a Daily Caller reporter would act like a tremendous, disrespectful asshole, as “act like an asshole” is essentially the Caller’s mission statement. Presidents shouldn’t be afforded god-like respect by the press or the citizenry, but “don’t interrupt people while they’re talking to angrily shout disagreeable things at them” is just sort of basic politeness, really. (Of course, in a movie written by a liberal screenwriter — *cough cough* Aaron Sorkin *cough cough* — Munro would be a hero. And in a movie written by a liberal screenwriter, he also wouldn’t be an obnoxious right-wing Irish-accented twit, and also his question would not be paradoxically nativist nonsense.)

good overview of the whole kimberlin thing

http://www.salon.com/2012/07/10/brett_kimberlin_versus_right_wing_bloggers/

I'm so glad Alex pores through that shit so I don't have to.

The Maryland state attorney’s office declined to pursue it and sent him a hilarious letter:

The above-captioned matter is the third citizen complaint involving you and Mr. Kimberlin. At my direction, the State dropped the charges in the other two. Very respectfully, it is my belief that your dispute with Mr. Kimberlin cannot be resolved in the criminal justice system.

is it just me or is this whole kimberlin story the most boring right-wingery in a long time?

ha the punchline on that post

Very respectfully, it is my belief that your dispute with Mr. Kimberlin cannot be resolved in the criminal justice system.

Take it to a comments thread you guys.

i was down in IA with some family this weekend, read this in the DM Register and was like, o man TPM is going to be all over this:

lo and behold

there is no faster way to signal you are a horrible racist than to have issues with the 14th Amendment

maybe having "HI I AM A HORRIBLE RACIST" tattooed on your face, but it's a tossup

from the cedar rapids (in-district) paper

http://thegazette.com/2012/07/13/state-senate-candidate-drops-out-says-she-will-be-part-of-alternate-government-2/

"She met with other leaders in the Republic of the United States of America and was appointed senator by the group’s Iowa delegation, which includes four house members, treasurer, judge and governor.

The Iowa group’s speaker of the house, George “Rowdy” Templer, of Davenport, said the group believes citizens have been burdened by the cost of the current government. The Republic of the United States of America would abolish federal taxes and require citizens to approve all state and local taxes."

it had not occured to me how much this sovereign/militia stuff is pretty much LARP.

hahaha this woman rules

It was then replaced in 1871 by the UNITED STATES CORPORATION. (de facto-without law). This Unlawful Corporate Democracy, established by the forty-first congress, has been acting as though it is the “official government” which clearly it is not! In point of fact, it is the reason why “We the People” Instead of Experiencing Freedom and Prosperity, suffer under the weight of Oppressive Statutes and an Out of Control, Monstrous National Debt which is Robbing Us and All Future Generations of Americans of Our Treasure and Our Legacy for which Our Founding Fathers’ so Valiantly Fought and Died.

So Many Capitalizations

it helps give you that 18th century vibe, v impt

so basically their entire policy platform can be boiled down to "They're After Me Lucky Charms!"

in all my fruitless searches i've never come across 1871 or the 41st Congress being the big historical villain-moment. who knew!

wsos?

haha, i know, isn't it usually 1933??

Why is George Washington praying to Ghost Rider?

dozens of sovereign citizen/redemptionist movements arguing w/ each other over the exact moment they were enslaved by the gov't. they need ecumenical councils!!

or 1861

This Corrupt System is just like an out of control freight train heading at full speed toward the river where the bridge has been washed out by a flood brought on by their own acts in violation of the Public Trust,and their Oaths to The Constitution of Iowa and The Republic of The United States of America.

metaphor alert

http://dev.republicoftheunitedstates.org/what-is-the-republic/history/

attn max! capitalization is key!!

Sovereign – A real person. Sovereigns can own property while Citizens/Subjects cannot. According to the original Constitution, all government comes from the Sovereign Individual. Without the Sovereign Individual, there is no government.

U.S. Citizen/Subject – A corporate fictitious entity that merely represents the real person. It acts as a “strawman.” [To call oneself a “sovereign citizen” or “sovereign subject” is an oxymoron, since “sovereign” and “citizen/subject” are mutually exclusive of each other.] When asked if you are a “U.S. Citizen” on corporate legal documents, if you check “yes,” you agree to the terms of Corporate Law and unknowingly relinquish your sovereign status and transfer all of your rights to the UNITED STATES CORPORATION since you are now under contract.

Corporation – A non-human, fictitious entity. Corporate fictitious entities are denoted in all caps. This includes the names of Citizens/Subjects. Your fictitious “strawman” entity is addressed in all caps, i.e. JOHN SMITH, rather than John Smith.

hahahahahahahahahahaha
