Are You Smart Enough to Date Barb Tomlinson?
A: Probably not. But if you think you might be, then almost certainly not.
I offer in evidence the following: Smart blind.
But still, if you want to give it a shot, I understand from her Google profile that she is currently “available” (nudge, nudge):
October 22nd, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Doesn’t seem like much of a catch, lives in a shack and can’t keep a job at BP, I can see why she needs online dating. Too foul mouthed for a proper southern lady anyway.
October 23rd, 2010 at 11:13 am
I will give you this, liberals are consistent, hadn’t help the poor bastard has a different opinion, they can’t simply have a different opinion they must be either stupid or mentally deranged and need of much help. Consider poor Juan Williams he woke up one morning a respected journalist who spent his life battling oppressive racism, by the end of day he was an unemployed government worker whose crime against society was so egregious that it didn’t even deserve a face-to-face hearing that would have been afforded a pedophile second grade teacher, he was after all, a racist. His ever so consistent liberal employer smirkingly inferred he was in dire need of psychiatric help. Maybe Barbara can get a job at National Public Radio, her and her new boss would seem to have a lot in common.

You’re really trying to pound that square peg into a round hole, aren’t you? If you don’t like jbc’s topics, feel free to head on over here so you can set your own: http://www.blogger.com
October 23rd, 2010 at 4:21 pm
What would be the fun in that? I started out on Charlie Daniels site but what is the fun in telling the moderator how good a guy he is? Besides, JBC can always kick me off of here if he wants, Matt did that once.
The way they fired Williams may not be a big deal to you but it may end up being a big deal to NPR if Republicans gain power in a couple weeks, probably won’t but it might.
I’m shocked you guys aren’t all over this, black man ridiculed by a condescending white (wo)man in a position of power, government censorship of a respected journalist, and a liberal to boot, a rich corporate industrialist buying power and influence in the media, and the government controlled media that, I would think this subject would be tailor-made for you guys.
October 23rd, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Racist got fired for saying racist things, good riddance. Now if only jbc could fire you. Why would anyone give a shit? Oh, I get it, you are rallying in defense of a fellow racist.
Wow, 1.5% indirect government funding. NPR truly is Pravda.
October 23rd, 2010 at 6:14 pm
To put aside the rantings of our local Klan rep and return to the actual topic of this post, I have to say, I do not feel as enamored with Tomlinson as jbc seems to be. Her writing style isn’t particularly compelling. I think she is trying to come across as hip and funny, but she routinely falls flat. She is too concerned with being “edgy”. I guess her point could be valid, but it is wrapped up in an irritating style.
October 23rd, 2010 at 6:38 pm
But Nina doesn’t get fired for wishing someone’s grandchild gets AIDs, tisk,tisk.
I may not be smart enough to date her, but she isn’t ambitious enough to date me. See, staying on topic.
October 23rd, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Juan Williams a racist, hmm.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:56 am
I’d say so, at least based on this:
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/juan-williams-right-political-correctness-about-terrorists-must-end-open-letter-juan
but that also shows that there is more to the firing than being a racist e.g. becoming an incompetent shill for Fox news. (Being on Fox news would probably be tolerable, the incompetent and the shill parts are what are inacceptable.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:56 am
).
October 24th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
The amount NPR receives is about 8% not 1. Even at that it’s not a large amount of money, I’m sure George will pony up the rest if congress stops laying the golden eggs. Wonder if he will be more successful this time than he was with Air America. When Williams was fired he asked Schiller if he could come in a and talk about it, she said that there was no need, the decision had been made above her, wonder who she was talking about, George gave 1.8 million (NPR budget about $110m * 8% = $8.8 million) so about 20-30% of what they get from the government to NPR at the exact same time Williams is fired hmmm.
October 25th, 2010 at 9:32 am
“Juan Williams a racist, hmm.”
Yes
George Soros Facts:
-George Soros lives under the beds of Republican children and scares them every night when they sleep
-George Soros eats babies
-George Soros rapes good, God fearing conservative men in their sleep
-George Soros did 9/11
-The sheer volume of bullshit conspiracy theories that conservatives spew about George Soros is the real cause of AGW
shcb facts:
-Is a moron
-Is a racist
-Is incapable of independent thought
This comment was paid for by George Soros
October 25th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Smith,
That post was one of your best, thanks for the laugh(s).
Continuing with that theme, George Soros’ statements are consistent with the government’s version of 9/11, and since we all know that version is false it begs the question as to why he is aiding the coverup. :-)
October 25th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
I don’t care who their sugar daddy is, change the name to Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, or Warren Buffett. The dynamic stays the same. Schiller is on Bill O’Reilly’s show tonight, I might just have to watch it.
October 25th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
jebus h kryst
rethuggles are so obsessed with the one billionaire who funds anything to the left of saint ronnie. How many dozens or hundreds of rich douchebags do you people have funding the tea baggers? And how much money is flowing into the Chamber of Commerce? from China. oh right, NPR discloses every nickel while these ‘Citizens United’ groups are pouring huge sums of money into buying their way to big tax breaks, gubmint cheese and the like. Perhaps Christine O’Salem could misinterpret the 1st amendment to read ‘corporations have a right to spend unlimited amounts of money to buy as many congress critters as they desire’ Won’t you think of the poor voiceless mega-multi-nationals?
Jaun Williams was fired from NPR because he continually crossed the line between reporting the news and making it. An analyst should report facts, not his own fears and racism (o right he’s black which wwnjs figure gives him a free pass – not).
Barb Tomlinson seems somewhat annoying, perhaps that’s why she’s single.
also, what Mr Smith said
October 25th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
A reporter like Nina should report facts, an analyst like Juan analyzes, that means he gives his opinion. He doesn’t have as much leeway as say Charles Krauthammer but he does have some leeway. His biggest crime wasn’t what he said but where he said it.
October 25th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
“Juan analyzes, that means he gives his opinion.”
HAHAHA
There is a big difference between analyzing a poll in order to give your opinion of the data, and going on TV and saying you think Muslims are scary monsters. I think you’ve spent too much time listening to Fox News “analysts”. (Perhaps “analist” is a better term considering how hard they’ve rammed their opinion up shcb’s ass. I mean look at it. It’s so far up there, it has started leaking out of his mouth.)
October 25th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I believe the term you are looking for is “shit for brains”
Mooslmen is teh Bad Guya!!!1!1! Kill! Kill! Faster Pussycat! Kill!
hurf durf sociamalism
October 25th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Seems pretty logical to me given the number of hijackings that occurred at the hand of Muslims over the last few decades and the number of hijackings by other groups. Remember when Jesse Jackson said he feels nervous when he’s walking down the street and hears someone coming up behind him, and that he is relieved when it is a white person. He wasn’t being racist, he was just being realistic given the high crime rate in black communities by black people.
If NPR wants to be this hypersensitive that’s fine, but then they should also get rid of Nina Totenberg and Vivian Schiller for the insensitive things they’ve said.
October 25th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
At first I thought Juan Williams was this guy:

October 25th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
“Seems pretty logical to me given”
Racism resonates well with shcb, who would have guessed?
October 25th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
you should really look up the definition of the word sometime.
October 25th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
You guys do realize you’re in the minority here, even among liberals. Seems the station managers of NPR stations are pretty upset too, they can’t believe someone in Schiller’s position would do such a thing during begathon week. Quite a few don’t think he shouldn’t have been fired and a few are even brave enough to say there is a double standard here. Schiller has had to apologize all over herself, trying to save her skin I suppose. She told Williams it was out of her hands, someone above her had made the decision, now she is taking the whole blame, don’t quite add up.
October 25th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
yea, there seems to be some confusion about what racism means. I thought it was to discriminate against (or for) someone because of their race, after reading this now I think that I’m just a confused & dumb white guy: http://stuffwhitepeopledo.blogspot.com/2009/09/wonder-how-to-define-racism.html
SHCB, on what basis do you assert that “the station managers of NPR stations are pretty upset too” ? Have a bunch of them gone public statnig that they represent all the station managers or is it just a hunch or is it just something you heard one guy say or say he heard from someone at the station? Provide some substance to your assertions if you want to be taken seriously.
October 25th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
What is popular and what is right is rather different in this case.
“you should really look up the definition of the word sometime.”
Racism noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
racial prejudice or discrimination

October 26th, 2010 at 5:20 am
Fox had a story on it, they named 3 or 4, full names and station id’s, and one down south that didn’t want to get in trouble with Washington so he didn’t give his name. I won’t bother with the link since Fox doesn’t count.
The biggest problem they had with it was timing, doing this right in the middle of pledge week could have been disastrous. They said this issue has caused more of an uproar than any other issue in recent memory, one station was so inundated with e-mails that they put contact information for the national office on their website and asked people to write there instead. NPR attracts a fairly wide range of people, not just knee-jerk liberals. There are so many levels to this story that are just wrong that you can have a negative opinion about Juan Williams and still be outraged at the way it was handled, and it seems that for whatever reason individuals personally held, they were outraged.
October 26th, 2010 at 7:42 am
I’ve never really bought into that definition, in my mind racim is a subset of bigotry. You can be a bigot without being a racist, for instance the Chinese and Japanese can hate each other, since they are both of the same race you could not call them racists, but you could call them bigots. This whole notion that someone can only be a racist if they are in the group currently wielding power was simply pulled out of the air for political expediency.
This article didn’t include bigotry and I think that was a mistake. To be prejudiced does not mean you hate a certain group it just means that you have made a decision pro or con. For instance a woman could decide that she didn’t want to date fat guys, she is being prejudiced against fat guys as far as her dating habits go, but that doesn’t mean that she hates fat people or fat guys, some of her best friends maybe fat people she just wishes to not date them.
October 26th, 2010 at 7:44 am
fox said some reich wing bullshit, so wwnj swallows it hook line n sinker
same as it ever was
out of nearly 800 NPR stations, four stations in the south received complaints?
bfd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxoKevwqxEI
Randy Paul (R- Aqua Buddha) supporters assault a woman, then curb stomp her head. I can’t wait to hear ol wwnj tell a funny story about how he once curb stomped a mud hut prairie dog’s head jes like that, yeeehaw! (har har har!)
or perhaps his longwinded bullshit will be (much shorter) ‘she gots wut she axed fer’
wwnjs are violent, angry racist shits who will flip flop and twist logic, reason and simple decency into whatever aussie billionaire Rupert Morlock (yes yes it is mis-spelled, try google) tells them is the Reich Wing Way. I am sure you are so proud lil rickie.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:37 am
No, they were from all over, only the station manager in the south didn’t want to be identified.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:38 am
she was a white gal and the the guy that pushed her shoulder with his foot was white, how is that racist?
October 26th, 2010 at 9:35 am
It was an example of violence, not racism. Enk did not say it was racist.
But he did say something about wwnj twisted logic, which you just illustrated with your question.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:55 am
“wwnjs are violent, angry racist shits who will flip flop and twist logic, reason…” It could go either way.
October 26th, 2010 at 10:10 am
So 0.5% of NPR stations received complaints…
after the amount of bullshit spewed on faux and the right wing echo chamber, I am surprised it isn’t 110%! (you guys aren’t very good with things like math and, you know, facts)
juan williams, still an odious partisan hack
good riddance
Amazing, so it is ok cuz it’s a redneck attacking a liberal?
It took three redneck dudes to beat up a single liberal woman, sounds about right.
Your racism is legendary, I wasn’t commenting on the racist beliefs of the stomper (tho he sure do look like a goodolboy! yeehaw!)
Just watch the video. This is what wwnjs would do to anyone – anyone – who disagrees with them. o wait, just another isolated incident… not
my last para doesn’t say anything specific about the stomper being racist…
got reading comprehension? (nope)
This is the reality (tho I am sure you’ll find some way to make it a liberal’s fault) that can be seen with your own eyes in the video.
A girl holding a cardboard sign calling out to a candidate is grabbed by at least 3 big burly Randy Paul supporters, she is thrown to the pavement, she is assaulted, kicked and has her head stomped on by some teabagger (looked like a Randy Paul gimme cap?) The woman suffers a concussion, but luckily she escapes death or paralysis.
‘pushed her shoulder with his foot’
execrable
next you’ll be bellowing how this miscreant liberal injured this poor Joe the Douchebag’s foot with her awful head full of Sociamalistical nonsense!
October 26th, 2010 at 10:29 am
shcb, it could go either way excpt that your way makes no sense. (i.e. it is twisted logic.)
October 26th, 2010 at 11:14 am
I don’t think I condoned the acts of these people, I don’t. You’re right you didn’t say the stomper was a racist, but why include it in your tirade? There are racists in any group.
I’m not sure where you got that .5% number
The Fox article only had quotes of a few people, because they only have so much room.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/22/AR2010102206639.html
October 26th, 2010 at 11:58 am
so 4 or 5 stations out of 797 NPR stations got complaints
now we use elementary school math to calculate a 0.5% complaint number (4 out of 800 is… we’ll wait for you to use your fingers, go on… keep going…. aaaaand… no? ah, no lil ricky, the answer is *not* 110%)
you wwnjs really aren’t very good at math, facts, reality etc.
teh stupid, it burns!
October 26th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
oh come on, that’s bullshit and you know it
October 26th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
so now math is bullshit
sigh
I’d rather have a ‘discussion’ with the dining room table
more productive
October 26th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Stomper McHeadstomper isn’t just a Randy Paul ‘supporter’
nope he isn’t some sooper dooper seekrit double agent from them damn dirty libs
he’s part of the campaign!
Tim Profitt, wearing his true colors on his sleeve, his gimme cap and this girl’s face
The girl is pressing charges (take em to the cleaners and then back)
This might tip the scales against these thugs.
October 26th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
So if reporters only interviewed 100 people after Katrina than there were only 100 people affected by it. There’s no math involved here just common sense.
October 26th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
so u named 3 or 4 NPR stations had complaints
if there were more complaints, how many more? why didn’t you name them?
how many stations received letters saying (in effect) ‘thank goodness that odious partisan hack is off my airwaves!’
are there more people saying ‘good riddance’ or more saying ‘hurf durf!’
?
funny how you won’t accept Mr McHeadstomper, err sorry Mr ‘Profitt’ as typical teabagger behavior, despite a mountain of evidence. It’s as plain as a boot to the face. Mr McHeadstomper beter pray *real heard* she doesn’t develop a fatal hematoma due to him ‘pushing her shoulder with his foot’ (aka stomped on her head while she was restrained – enjoy jail asshole!)
I think it might have just scratched one of momma grizzly’s cubs
scratched from the Senate that is
October 26th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Enk,
ask your friend google about the NPR complaints. The wwnj hacks are all over this meme, but there is nothing to suggest it doesn’t have a big dose of truth in it. shcb’s got a point here, but it’s pretty lame and hardly scientific to find that a bunch of people complained to NPR stations that their favourite racist got canned… go figure.
October 26th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
It shut down the comment section on the national website, I think it is a fair guess that picking a few stations all around the nation and extrapolating from there is in the realm of possability! More like probablility. They weren’t all pissed because he got fired, they were pissed because of timing, and because of the way he was treated during and after the firing. You can give up a point every now and then without losing the match.
October 26th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
This isn’t going to change anything, the middle of the road moderates don’t even know who Williams is! NPR will still be funded, they may have to raise their rates to advertisers a little, or dip into the Krock fund a little more. Williams has a 2 million a year gig at Fox, it’s a water cooler topic with a week shelf life. Life will go on.
October 26th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Yeah, I heard NPR was being barraged with complaints from “long time viewers” who “won’t be watching NPR anymore”. Hmmmm…perhaps the complaints are being filed by people who know nothing about NPR at the behest of Fox News? Naaaahhhh. Why would anyone think that?
“it’s a water cooler topic with a week shelf life. Life will go on.”
And yet you’ve done your best to push this idiotic issue as much as you can. When I suggested it was nonsense, you went off on some asinine rant about how important the whole thing was. Don’t pretend you never cared since the discussion didn’t go your way, you disingenuous little fuck.
October 26th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Smith,
I agreed with you fully until the last two words… but hey you’re entitled to your opinion. In my opinion, whatever that’s worth, I just take shcb for what I percieve him to be: an often disengenuous and irrepressible guy with a relatively narrow mind and a modicum of knowledge (or maybe more) misdirected by his socio/cultural background and amplified by an above average intelligence into an irritating yet perhaps in some way useful disturbance on the internet.
He also seems to be a sucker for abuse, which is a bit abhorrent to me but, hey to each their own (quite the liberal sentiment eh, shcb?)
October 27th, 2010 at 4:59 am
Actually Smith, this is one of the first comments I made
Only a very few topics discussed anywhere have a very long shelf life, and in most cases life goes on, doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t discuss them, or learn from our mistakes, NPR has admitted it handled this badly and is reviewing its procedures, would that have happened if they hadn’t been so criticized?
Knarly, eh, pretty close!… I owned my own business for ten years, a machine shop, it would get loud in the shop and the guys would have to raise their voices to hear each other, I would be in my office with thin walls that seemed to filter the machine noise better than voices, for a while it bothered me that they were saying such hateful things about the guy that worked so hard to keep them employed. After a while I realized what every sea captain for hundreds of years knows, if the crew isn’t complaining they are plotting, the abuse I get here is minor. And I know I’ve gotten to them when they go off on their rants.
You see, they could have avoided most of this by just conceding it was handled wrong while sticking to he should have been terminated, that would have taken half my argument away in one sentence. But instead Enky goes off on his nonsensical 0.05% thought. Smith just has to trash me for whatever reason and nothing gets discussed, but I know I’ve gotten to them.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:52 am
Knarly, it’s not that I’m not intelligent, I am very intelligent, I’m just not educated. I didn’t spend four years in college sleeping through classes that I would never use and that has been to my detriment. Because even though you think you sleep through those classes you do learn a lot and you learn things you never thought you would use but later in life but you do, almost like someone smarter than you were when you were a freshman in college knew what they were doing. And it’s not that I just gave up four years of education three decades ago, it’s that I just don’t do well in classroom settings, still don’t. I avoid seminars and educational meetings like the plague. But I understand my shortcomings and have always done what I could to mitigate them.
A little story I may have told you before. When I first moved to Denver I realized very quickly that my farmer boy vocabulary wasn’t going to cut it. So for an entire summer I read one book, Catch 22, it took the entire summer because I forced myself to only read it with a dictionary next to me, I would look up every single word that I didn’t totally understand. Of course in a lot of cases this would lead to finding a word in the dictionary definition I didn’t understand or at least wasn’t sure I understood the full meaning of and off I would go chasing that word down, and on and on. Sometimes it would be 20 minutes before I would get back to my book. By the end of the summer my vocabulary had probably doubled. As important as it was to my future to gain at least a mediocre vocabulary what it probably did more was to teach me that while I would probably never make up for that college education that didn’t mean that I had to be stuck where I was. I still learn new words every day because I still look them up when I don’t know what they mean, I’ve looked at quite a few words that you have used.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:25 am
i just threw up a little bit in my mouth reading that
then I read this and lost my breakfast entirely:
“I don’t think it’s that big of a deal,” Profitt told WKYT. “I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you.”
Next he’ll be suing her for the damage her face did to the sole of his shoe.
Ironic that the guy who slams her to the ground was wearing a Don’t Tread On Me lapel pin.
Haven’t seen this in any of the big papers… nothing to see here, move along, media narrative is set, the money is spent, move along.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Enk, it got a mention in Canada’s National paper… http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/video/paul-supporter-stomps-on-womans-head/article1772948/?page=9
Had the “stomping” been more like a “kick” and less of a “shove” with his foot (it appeared to be somewhere in between, but closer to a kick) and there been some blood, sprained neck, obvious bruising or a broken bone then this would have got way more media traction. As it was, it appears to have been a case of stupid bullying which is not too shocking relative to the smorgasboard of murder and mayhem around the world that the media pulls from every day. That said, I bet Profitt gets his ass sued off and has to pay at least $75,000 and likely up to $200,000 to the lady for his abuse and his causing of fear (aka terror), injury and for punitive damages. Has Rand Paul condemned the actions of his supporters and apologized to the lady for their actions? Also, I’d like to see a video of the minutes leading up to Profitt’s inexcusable actions just for a bit of context. Had the lady attacked anyone prior or brandished a weapon (doubtful) then that would complicate things a little in my mind.
October 27th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I would like to see what was going on too, yes the Paul campaign has completely distanced itself from this guy, to the point of banning him from any future functions, and it sounds like he was a little high up in the organization. I read one quote where Profitt said she was rushing Paul and he was trying to protect him but I think that was hogwash. It sounded like he and her had had words a few minutes before, he had asked the cops to remove her because she had a wig and was obviously up to no good but the cops said it wasn’t their business. My guess is the cops saw nothing threatening about her physically hurting anyone but Profitt saw her as politically threatening and was really pissed about something he and her had said to each other.
October 27th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
True, this Profitt guy appears to be quite a tool. What with the whole, “sorry about that, but she should apologize to me too” thing, and the whole “I was just trying to keep her held down” thing.
Dude, you were out of line! “Man up”, as Angle says, and admit your jackass-ness and moveon (pun intended).
Has anyone seen a fuller video of this incident? A lot of Conway/Paul supporters all in a small space around the approaching car (containing Rand Paul). Lots of noise, chanting, etc. This Moveon activist rushes up to the passenger side window and starts to shove a sign into the open window where Rand is sitting. She is pulled away and blocked as the car stops. Rand gets out and you can see the activist run around behind and then in front of the car to try to reach Rand again. That’s where the commonly-viewed incident then starts.
Now, in this emotionally-charged election season, as well as at this particular scene, you never know what an apparent protester might do when they are agressively moving toward a candidate. So I can’t blame anyone from stopping her.
The way they stopped her, and the aftermath, is where it went off the rails.
Has anyone mentioned the Conway supporter who reportedly stomped on a female Rand-supporter’s foot at this same event? A foot, by the way, that had a surgical boot on it due to a recent foot surgery? (her incisions were busted open by the incident)
Although it was substanciated by several sources, it has been swallowed up by the video-recorded incident.
My own observation is that if this woman had any head-related injury, it would have happened when she got taken down onto the ground, where her head was against the curb. Not from the shoulder stomp administered by Profitt.
That’s right. I said SHOULDER stomp. Just because some people want to call it a head stomp, that doesn’t mean it was! Clearly he pressed down on her shoulder area (Again, that doesn’t mean it still wasn’t totally uncalled for, but it is a more truthful description of where the foot came down on).
Actually, the whole head/shoulder thing reminds me a little of the recent NYC mosque issue. Some conservatives and their blogs tried to say that the mosque was going to be at the site of the world trade center, thus calling it the 9/11 mosque. Liberals said that was a dishonest phrase, since it was a few blocks away from the world trade center area. (a reasonable point)
Now, liberals and their blogs want to frame this incident as the “headstomping” issue, even though the head was not actually stomped on. It seems the precision of the wording is important depending on who the description favors.
October 27th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
It started at the back of her neck but clearly his foot slid up to her head.
I watched the video and cringed (it was in our major papers up here, as knarly pointed out) when he stomped on the back of her neck/head. You can hear a cracking sort of sound, which I think (hopefully) was her glasses scraping the pavement.
That idiot needs to go to jail for that. Pathetic to do that to anyone, let alone a woman who is already restrained on the pavement.

That man’s foot smashed that woman’s head. No two ways about it. The person who had her head stomped on (while restrained mind you) distinctly recalls a blow to the head. She was there, you weren’t. It may have started on the shoulder, but Stompy wasn’t just resting his foot on her for a trophy pic: he intentionally assaulted her and admits as much.
So a 23 year old girl, who has made mocking protest at Randy Paul rallies before, holding a flimsy cardboard sign in both hands rushes forward to get her pic snapped with her idol and three burly rednecks jump her, throw her to the ground, where she presents no resistance what so ever. While these creeps kick and curb stomp her. While she was restrained. After he stomps on her head, her hand goes immediately to her head (as in OUCH!)
And Stompy McHeadstomper (Mr Tim Profitt) is the Bourbon County chair for the Randy Paul campaign! The same day there’s an ad in the paper proudly proclaiming this skinhead’s support and acceptance as part of the Randy Paul campaign.
You’ve sunk a long long way trying to weasel out of this outrage. If Stompy had broken that woman’s neck or given her a brain bleed, you’d probably still try to blame it on her. Has Stompy or Randy even bothered to say the word ‘sorry’? You’re an even bigger tool than wwnj. “Christ! What an asshole!”
O and the woman with the stitches: in a packed crowd feet get stepped on. If she had a serious foot condition, she shouldn’t be getting in a scuffle at a political rally. I am sorry she was injured, however you don’t seem the least bit sorry that Stompy assaulted this woman.
Perhaps we could see some actual video of the crazed conway supporter assaulting this woman w the surgical cast? o wait, you have some bullshit you gleaned from fauxnewz and hate radio. pfffft
October 27th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I just watched the longer video, they should both spend a couple nights in jail, maybe together. Craig is correct on this matter.
October 27th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Enk is correct on this matter.
NL is correct on this matter too.
Profitt’s heel clearly connected with her head in the area of her ear, forcing the side of her face and glasses into the pavement.
To argue otherwise is to deny the obvious reality and thus fully discredit yourselves, craig & shcb.
October 27th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Just to confirm, you guys are actually spinning this to justify violence against an already restrained woman? And you don’t think he raised up his foot — which was originally on her shoulder — to give her a stomp to the head, as is heel hit her in the ear?
You’re actually saying that?
October 27th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I’m just giving me two cents on the issue. Take it or leave it.
I sometimes wonder if anyone actually reads what I write. Despite all my comments about this Profitt guy and how wrong his actions were, I still get a comment back that says, “So, you are justifying this violence?”
Oy Vey.
And enkidu, you’re description of the event would make compelling TV, but not good courtroom testimony:
“So a 23 year old girl, who has made mocking protest at Randy Paul rallies before, holding a flimsy cardboard sign in both hands rushes forward to get her pic snapped with her idol and three burly rednecks jump her, throw her to the ground, where she presents no resistance what so ever. While these creeps kick and curb stomp her.”
Rushes forward to get her pic taken with her idol??? Have you seen the fuller video? Isn’t the reality of what happened bad enough?? At least be straight-up with your description.
Three burly rednecks threw her to the ground and these creeps (creeps, as in multiple) all proceeded to kick and curb stomp her?? Again, isn’t the reality bad enough for you?
October 27th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Oops, I submitted my comment too soon.
If you look at the video, a guy puts his hand on her shoulder and immediately afterwards Profitt puts his foot on the same spot and pushes down. Her shoulder is naturally going to give way and I’m sure the heel touches her head. But that isn’t where he started pushing down.
The point really is the physical nature of how she was dealt with. Regardless of what body part was touched first or second. “Woman stomped on during pre-debate fracas” seems bad enough.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I read your post and I know that you were saying it still isn’t right, but there seems to be this argument out there that it wasn’t an acutal head stomp (my eyes work fine, it was a stomp on the head) so it isn’t that bad.
I find that sort of spinning of an issue to be really lame. Rush Limbaugh used the same reasoning eariler today.
A man raising his foot and stomping at a woman’s head who is already restrained is disgusting to me, no matter where it hits her, really.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
I don’t think anyone is condoning what he did, in fact when I look at it I think he wanted to stomp her but thought better while his foot was in the air, but he didn’t “stomp her head”.
She coulda put an eye out with that sign, as our moms used to say.
October 27th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
http://www.kypost.com/dpps/news/political/2-fights-break-out-during-paul_conway-debate-_5305909
I hope I tagged this article properly. Check out this video of the incident. It seems to be from a slightly different angle than the more popular one. Does anyone see a difference in how the foot stomp looks?
October 27th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
Craig,
Interesting angle but the footage at the 19 & 20 second marks still show a clear inpact to the head. Interesting too that if you train your attention on her face at these same 19 & 20 second marks, it is even more apparent from this angle that her face hits the pavement with quite a bit of force – something that was not as apparent in the other footage from the other angle. What amazes me is the “spin” in the commentary beside the article – an obvious and obviously deliberate attempt to mischaracterize the incident, I wouldn’t trust that source the woman did not say that she tripped but rather (big difference) that she was shoved to the ground or intentionally tripped by someone else, and then to say she was “stepped on”? What do they take their reader’s for, fools?
October 27th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Well, keep in mind that this story was posted that same evening of the debate, and that this local news station is working with more limited information than others are 48 hours later.
I guess we may continue to disagree (surprise) but it sure seems like the foot is in direct contact with the shoulder rather than with the face.
Now, did her face press against the ground when he put his foot on her shoulder? Yes (body physics).
And did her face pop up a few inches once he lifted his foot off of her? Yes.
But did his foot stomp on her face? I don’t believe so.
Again, for the umpteenth time, regardless of where his foot was, this was a wholly inappropriate (and likely illegal) act, that shouldn’t have happened.
My argument is with the whole “Headstomper” label that many people are running with, to try to inflame this issue beyond what is already an ugly event.
I still submit that the guy who pulled her to the ground would have caused more potentially injurous contact to her head.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
To be clearer, when I say “her face”, I mean her head.
October 27th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
There is another Conway supporter who was roughed up at the same event. Big fat redneck tried to shove a 60 year old man to the ground. Luckily he got away before he got the Randy Paul special.
I watched that video. That guy stomped on that girl. You can equivocate about just which parts of him stomped which parts of her, but she said she took a blow to he head, the hospital said she had a concussion. She’s lucky he didn’t kill or paralyze her. Interesting to read that the police say she tripped. Sure looks like two or three Randy Paul supporters hurled her to the ground. It is possible other blows were struck, difficult to say from the camera angles/chaos at the scene.
Enlightening to read the comments on that link. That is why I got the hell out of that neck of the woods just as soon as my feet could carry me.
But remember this is KY, where a census worker was lynched and the cops say he did it to himself (suuuuure thing). When I lived nearby, our nickname for the police was The Gestapo. They specialized in shooting black people in the back. True.
Anyone want to bet Mrs. Profitt is also real ‘clumsy’ and ‘trips all the time’ etc etc? Any takers? hmmm? no? It’ll be enlightening to find out what other fun antics Mr Profitt is up to (I’ve got my money on Waffen SS re-enactor)
October 27th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I’m not denying that Profitt stomped on her with his foot. That is quite clear. It’s the hyperbole that is labelling it, Enkidu, that is my issue. You seem to be continuing in your hyperbole yourself. Multiple people kicked and curb-stomped her? Now she was “hurled” to the ground? The hospital says she has a concussion? I haven’t seen this quote from a hospital spokesperson. I HAVE read where this girl says she was TOLD she has a concussion. Maybe she does. I don’t know for certain. But the hospital has said nothing to the press, to my knowledge.
I belabor this point only because you would NEVER take the word of, let’s say, a tea party supporter, under similar circumstances, if she said she had a concussion.
Hell, you doubt the police investigation of that census taker who killed himself because it conflicts with your preferred narrative.
Let’s review that result via ABC News:
Sparkman, 51, was found strangled Sept. 12 with a rope around his neck near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of the Daniel Boone National Forest in southeastern Kentucky.
On Tuesday, authorities for the first time released key details such as Sparkman’s wrists being bound so loosely that he could have done the taping himself. Kentucky State Police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski said an analysis found that the “fed” on his chest was written “from the bottom up.”
He was touching the ground almost to his knees, and to survive “all Mr. Sparkman had to do at any time was stand up,” she said.
Authorities said Sparkman was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of his death. His clothes were found in the bed of his nearby pickup truck.
Authorities said Sparkman alone manipulated the suicide scene, which was so elaborate that a man who discovered the body was convinced Sparkman was murdered.
Rudzinski said Sparkman “told a credible witness that he planned to commit suicide and provided details on how and when.”
Authorities wouldn’t say who Sparkman told of his plan, but said Sparkman talked about it a week before his suicide and the person did not take him seriously. He told the person he believed his lymphoma, which he had previously been treated for, had recurred, police said.
Sparkman also had recently taken out two accidental life insurance policies totaling $600,000 that would not pay out for suicide, authorities said. One policy was taken out in late 2008; the other in May.
Again, if you could just stick with the facts regarding this girl, they are still ugly enough to not need your flourishes.
Hopefully, the legal system will mete out its punishment appropriately.
October 27th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
you’ve obviously never been to Kentucky
October 27th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
You might be surprised…..
October 28th, 2010 at 9:37 am
funny, I thought I made very careful use of language in my 5:13 post, not hyperbole. note to wwnjs ‘tyranny’ isn’t losing an election and ‘hyperbole’ isn’t anything you folks (perhaps violently) disagree with.
I watched all the videos I could find (not just the first one).
So there is a video record (incomplete and from certain angles etc).
Note my sentence that says “that guy stomped that girl”
Can’t make it simpler than that. No face stomping, nazi allusions or hyperbole.
She is lucky she isn’t dead or in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
I did not say “Multiple people kicked and curb-stomped her” (splitting hairs, the redneck with the ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ button did not need to hurl her to the ground – that is assault afaik – to your credit, you actually acknowledge that this is a major point of possible injury)
I said “it is possible other blows were struck” certain? no. It looks like some of these guys might have ‘manhandled’ her. Guess she was ‘asking for it’ eh? A 300lb redneck dropping a knee on her is more assault. She offers no resistance. None. Her hands clutch the flimsy cardboard sign pretty much the entire time (she does move her hand to her head after she gets stomped – OUCH! NL says he could hear a ‘cracking sound’ which I don’t really hear, but perhaps?)
Your longer video just shows that the cops, the Randy Paul security detail and anyone with a functioning frontal lobe thought this 23 year old girl was not a threat. They turn her away and he enters the building in a very unhurried manner (he smiles and rolls up his window after she comes up to him with her sign – backwards – ooops u blew your photo op honey). They know it’s just theater, they’ve seen this RepubliCORP satire thing for weeks. She’s armed with… a cardboard sign! It is the angry mob of RP supporters who feel enraged by her antics and decide to give her a bit of the ol KintuckShitKickin.
You’d like this to all go away. Nothing to see here. Both side are guilty. tut tut
There is a very disturbing pattern.
It is as plain as a boot to the shoulder/neck/head/face.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:26 am
On the Huff Post link I added above, you can hear the cracking/scraping sort of sound.
Listen close at then 0.15 mark.

October 28th, 2010 at 10:38 am
Good post Enk.
Craig, Yes, indeed, let’s review that result via ABC News.
But this time we shall apply some independent thought rather than using Craig’s method of taking what the supposed authorities say at face value.
Sparkman, 51, was found strangled Sept. 12 with a rope around his neck near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of the Daniel Boone National Forest in southeastern Kentucky.
On Tuesday, authorities for the first time released key details such as Sparkman’s wrists being bound so loosely that he could have done the taping himself. – *Try this at home, it is easy to tape your wrists tightly by pushing against a solid object. Wrists bound loosely sounds consistent with the victim putting up a struggle. *-
Kentucky State Police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski said an analysis found that the “fed” on his chest was written “from the bottom up.” – *I can write on my chest either from the bottom up or the top down, with equal ease. Was Sparkman known to write from the bottom up? I often write from the bottom up. It’s not hard to imagine his killer writing on his chest from the bottom up too.*-
He was touching the ground almost to his knees, and to survive “all Mr. Sparkman had to do at any time was stand up,” she said. -*This is strong evidence that it was a killing not a suicide. It is virtually impossible to asphyxiate oneself when a simple remedy such as standing is available as one nears the point of losing consciousness. That’s simply a biological fact. Therefore another rope or pairs of hands were almost certainly pulling his legs out from under him until he lost consciousness. *-
Authorities said Sparkman was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of his death. -*Thus suggesting it was not a suicide; more often than not suicide victims use drugs or alcohol to ease the pain of their death. *-
His clothes were found in the bed of his nearby pickup truck. -*What relevance does this have? If it was suicide, he may have left them there, or not, and if it was murder his killers might have put them there, or not. So what? -*
Authorities said -* “Authorities said” Hmmmm, yea right. What authorities and on what evidence? I’ll need a little more to go on than that please. I hear of authorities lying or screwing things up on a regular basis. Nothing so far in this news item has compelled me to believe it was anything but a murder. *-
Authorities said Sparkman alone manipulated -* “Alone” How can they conclude he acted alone. No evidence is presented for that. Cannot trust that assertion at all. They were not there at the time of the death and they present no other evidence. Pathetic.*-
Authorities said Sparkman alone manipulated the suicide scene, Ah ha! Suddenly it is a “suicide scene”, again I ask what evidence over-rides the evidence that it was murder; seems like simple wishful thinking and fairytale logic that good ol’ boy Kentuckyites are not violent therefore it must be suicide. Sorry, still not convinced, nowhere near convinced.-*
Authorities said Sparkman alone manipulated the suicide scene, which was so elaborate that a man who discovered the body was convinced Sparkman was murdered. “Elaborate” hmmm., okay, that means there were lots and lots of details, a.k.a. evidence that it was a suicide. If more examples were given about the evidence pointing to suicide then this slanted news story would be less likely to fool people like Craig into the premature conclusion announced by “authorities”.
a man who discovered the body was convinced Sparkman was murdered -* So, we have an independent witness on the scene and what exactly were these elaborate elements that convinced him that Sparkman was murdered? Doesn’t say. No sense in undermining the authorities theory now, is there? Pfsss.
Rudzinski said Sparkman “told a credible witness that he planned to commit suicide and provided details on how and when.” -*Well, did the how and when align with what happened? If so, why not say so? Probably they did not align at all and that is why it is not stated. I suspect they did not align at all because this would be a pretty ridiculous way to kill oneself. *-
Authorities wouldn’t say who Sparkman told of his plan, hence no independt verification of the claim. but said Sparkman talked about it a week before his suicide and the person did not take him seriously. Not unusual in actual suicides or in people who do not commit suicide. He told the person he believed his lymphoma, which he had previously been treated for, had recurred, police said. As a federal worker he has health insurance right? Did he believe based on superstition or did he get a test done? Are we supposed to assume from this article that instead of fighting lymphoma , and maybe winning like last time, he decided to kill himself? Again, who is this mysterious source, what relation are they to Sparkman, and are they at all credible? I have my doubts.
Sparkman also had recently taken out two accidental life insurance policies totaling $600,000 that would not pay out for suicide, authorities said. As a rule such insurance policies do not pay for suicide. Would it cover death by lymphoma??? If yes, then that explains that. One policy was taken out in late 2008; the other in May. Does this at all line up with realizing what was involved in going door to door in that area of Kentucky representing the Federal government, alone? Hell if I had to take on that job I’d try to get at least triple that amount of insurance, and I’m white.
October 28th, 2010 at 10:43 am
and I’m not suicidal either.
October 28th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Enkidu, these are your words:
“While these creeps kick and curb stomp her.”
A rather certain statement of a group beatdown. I specifically referred to that particular quote of yours. You later tried to walk it back slightly by saying “It is possible other blows were struck”.
“…the hospital said she had a concussion”
Maybe she does, but I’ve never seen a quote from a hospital spokesperson that confirms this. Oh, I read where she says she has one and that she says the hospital told her so. As I said before, I only bring it up because you would NEVER give a Tea Party supporter in the same circumstances the benefit of the doubt.
I won’t even get into your assertion that the guy is a wife-beater.
I’ve said my peace on this matter. To summarize:
As shown on the longer video, this woman moved up to the car carrying Rand Paul and started to thrust her sign through the open window where Rand was seated. She was pulled away, but she ran around to the other side of the car after Rand got out. Her actions, in this heated day and age, warranted her to be blocked from getting to Rand. But that is all. The rest was totally unacceptable behavior.
I think it is clearer in the video that I posted that Profitt stomped his foot on her shoulder, not her head. Again, as I have to say this about every other sentence for some people, this doesn’t change the unacceptable nature of his actions. Only the characterization of this issue as a “head-stomping”.
October 28th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Knarly, I should have figured you’d chime in with the standard conspiracy answer!
I’m sure “the authorities” condensed their release of information in summary form for media consumption, rather than reguritiate a ream of detailed evidence for the public to sort through. Feel free to request a release to confirm your suspicions. I’ll be happy to say I was wrong. Every once in a while a suicide is what it is. Shocking, I know.
October 28th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Northern, I know my hearing is not what it once was, but I have to say that I heard absolutely nothing at the 15 second mark, let alone a crunching noise.
October 28th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Fair enough, and to be honest I can’t say for sure if it’s coming from her or the camera – but I do hear it. I’m using headphones too so maybe that’s the difference. I promise I’m not trying to be over the top. I just really despise violence against women (not at all saying that you don’t). It just really touches a nerve with me.

There is a very disturbing pattern.
It is as plain as a boot to the shoulder/neck/head/face.
I stand by my latest description of the events (my post from 10.27.10 5:13) this description accords with the latest videos and eyewitness accounts. If you want to hunt n peck for previous postings that were written without the benefit of additional video evidence and so on, well you go girl. Can’t stop you making a fool of yourself.
Craig/Malkin – Again and again I ask: when will you finally show us your Really Big List of Liberal Murder and Mayhem in the US in the last 2 to 10 Years.
There is a very disturbing pattern.
It is as plain as a boot to the shoulder/neck/head/face.
October 28th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Ahh, the last refuge of one being held to his own comments. Sexist putdowms and snark. Nice.
Your incessant demand for some list is a delusion of your own design. I once said, many moons ago, that anecdotal-based back-and-forth arguments are pointless and never move any serious discussion forward. You then decided I had to provide some kind of list of offenses to your satisfaction anyways.
You’ll need to find a different partner to indulge your obsession.
October 28th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Craig, the point was to show what an easily misdirected dim bulb you are through noting, in great detail, that your choosing of that ABC news item to refute Enky’s narrative was counterproductive to your argument.
My comments on the article show that 90% of the comments (and 100% of the substantive comments) support Enky’s narrative, not yours. Get it? It was a dumb example for you to use. There are probably many other articles that actually support your argument, but that one did something different. It demonstrated how gullible and easily blinded you are by generic psychological trigger phrases, such as “authorities report”, rather than by actual content.
Then your subsequent ad hominem comment about “standard conspiracy answer” illustrates how your mind shuts down when faced with items eliciting cognitive dissonance. Poorly or even completely unsubstantiated statements from supposed “authority figures” are put on a pedestal with a faith that the evidence they present (which actually rebukes their statements) can be rationalized away with it being because they “condensed their release of information in summary form for media consumption.” Orwell wrote about you.
Whether the supposed narrative you attribute to Enk is true or whether the authorities acted properly and got the facts right is your issue, not mine. I hardly know anything about this case – I had incorrectly assumed that Sparkman was black – but it’s fair to say that you are even less qualified to pass judgment on the facts of the case or of Enky’s interpretations about it.
October 28th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
excuse me if reality must intrude, but “you go girl” isn’t sexist, it is a empowering, positivist statement. Like ‘go for it!’ ‘bring it!’ ‘testify!’ ‘sing it!’ ‘go on!’ ‘indulge yourself’ ‘if it makes you happy, go right ahead’
So where is your video evidence? No where.
Why? Perhaps because your claims are full of bullshit?
I most certainly did not assert that ‘Mr’ Profitt is a wife beater, I just asked the question. Want to make a bet about ‘Mr’ Profitt’s other activities? Once you start stomping on little girls you don’t like, don’t be surprised if the decent people don’t leave you alone. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. And the internet is about to shine a whole bunch a sunshine up Stompy’s ass.
I made very little claim at all about the KY census worker. Other than that I am deeply skeptical of The Authorities in Kintuck. I’ve been there. I lived thereabouts for decades before I signed up and got the hell out of there. But you read some crap on fox or redneckstate that reinforces your pre-existing conclusions so you clutch your pearls and totter off complaining about those most unpleasant libs.
whtvr
knarly – “Orwell wrote about you”
BOOM! nicely put
October 28th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
And I keep asking you to show me ANY evidence of left wing violence, murder and mayhem (in the US, by lefties on righties in the last 2 to 10 years), because you claim again and again and again and again that liberals are just as bad (if not worse, etc etc blah blah blah). I have listed many examples and you’ve listed…. none.
There is a very disturbing pattern.
It is as plain as a boot to the shoulder/neck/head/face.
Perhaps you don’t see the pattern because your boot is on my people’s face?
October 28th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Enk,
Sorry but I can give you an example of a lefty’s killing of a nice conservative. I saw it on t.v. just a second… gooogle….gooogle … gooogle… oh here it is :
On December 11, an episode of the TV show Law & Order entitled “FED” featured a murder victim based on Sparkman, found shirtless with the word “FED” written on his chest. However, this victim was a conservative campaign employee who was plotting against an ACORN-like organization.
Never mind, it’s just another example of the MSM spin machine attempting to distort the historical truth narrative of the collective consciousness. Noting to see here folks, move along now…
October 28th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
You guys have quite a world contructed around you. Let me know when any real people enter. LOL!
To each his own.
Carry on…..

None.
Reality.
October 28th, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Out of 150,000,000 Democratics, give or take a few, you’d think they’d be able to find one example.
October 29th, 2010 at 5:09 am
The problem Knarly is we can give examples till the cows come home but Enky will reject them for one reason or another. I have a great video of a guy punching a Tea Party member, popped him right in the face, but it would do no good to offer it here because there would be all the backtracking, “sure you can find one but here is my list of twenty…” you can’t trust it because it came from bla bla bla web site, the Tea Party guy pushed him, they were both written summons” and on and on. Enky is right, conservatives are more violent, no question about it, that is why liberals are so universally considered wimps.
October 29th, 2010 at 7:16 am
Aw that’s not fair. I’m pretty sure I could kick your ass :)
October 29th, 2010 at 8:26 am
Darnit anyway, the trap was set for Enky and you went and tripped it! :)
October 29th, 2010 at 8:27 am
Besides, I’m smart enough to wait until you’re good and stoned, then I have a chance.
October 29th, 2010 at 9:07 am
WOW! So you finally found one? After all these years of searching?!?! one?
Please show us your one example (I hope it isn’t pinky biter: as grotesque as biting another human being might be, he was defending himself after being sucker punched and jumped by a group of wwnjs – true he shouldn’t have walked up to them and shouted F U)
You have yet to provide a single credible instance of politically motivated left winger going apeshit on right winger murder, mayhem or violence. Not a single case as yet. Nor has Craig/Malkin. None.
Please either share or shut up.
OK now lets just suppose you actually do have a single instance. Why is it not appropriate to contrast the many many instances of wwnj murder – yes murder – mayhem and violence against your one hypothetical case of lefty outrage. o right, math has a liberal bias? If your example lwnj was out of line, I’d be happy to condemn this person’s actions… unlike wwnj and C/M who have spent lots of electrons defending Stompy. ‘He just gave her a shoulder massage!’ (<– note 'satire')
But if your example is bullshit, well, then it's bullshit.
Just to reiterate: it has to be an example of politically motivated left winger violence on a right winger, in the USA, in the last two to 10 years. We'll wait. Sounds like you finally have an example! I've pointed out dozens of murder/assaults/violence/arson. So far, you wwnj have… none.
October 29th, 2010 at 9:46 am
shcb,
I’d like to see that example too, as I’ve not been able to find anything . I’m betting you dreamed it up or that it was actually two tea-partier’s in a pissing match over over who has the bigger “sign”.
October 29th, 2010 at 9:47 am
See, he hasn’t even seen the video and he’s pretty much done everything I said he would do. He’s so easy :)

hey btw wwnj (no. the other one. not you Craig/Malkin) who you voting for in CO for guvnr? Hickenlooper is a D so your partisanship would seem to preclude your voting for him. Then there is Tom Tancredo (C – crazy party) or Dan Maes (R). Lessee, Tom is a deeply wackdoodle racist, psycho and not-too-bright wwnj. Or you vote for the utterly pathetic Dan Maes, who is right at the cusp of 10% He’s an R, but has no chance at all… hmmm
I mention the 10% because if he falls below 10% the Republican party becomes a minor or third party and does not get ‘top o the ballot’ placement, certain funding and advertising things (I’m no expert on exactly what it entails, but the R party being down with the Greens, Libertarians, Socialists, Commies and other even more whackdoodle parties is, what, ironic? funny? sad?).
I bet you go with Tom, he’s a wwnj thru n thru. Amazing how far the party of WF Buckley has fallen. Or perhaps shoved over the cliff by much more extremist elements is a better description.

breitbart.tv? bwahahahahaha zomg
nice editing there
silly to show the camera actually hitting the black guy
the wwnj pushed him and hit him first
you do understand self defense right?
That black fella was discussing things very rationally up until the wwnj started hitting him and pushing him. Shouldn’t haul off and hit the wwnj. That’s wrong. Better to just walk away.
I’ll call it a draw. You have 0.5 of an incident. Now can we actually talk reasonably about the dozens of incidents where wwnjs kill or injure anyone to the left of them?

Tell you what, i am in a liberal mood: I’ll give it to you. That guy shouldn’t have hauled off and hit the other guy (even if he pushed and shoved or poked that guy with his camera).
you got one!
or mb 2/3s? ;)

I haven’t decided, I’m not quite so much a vote for the party not the person when it comes to governor, I always voted for Romer, until he lied to me personally, so voting for Hick isn’t out of the question, Maes is definitely at the bottom of my list, so that leaves Tom who is really screwing things up here as you have pointed out. I would vote for Tancredo if he were running for king but alas he will only be governor so many of the things he says he will do, he probably won’t be able to do. Hicks a good guy, I like him a lot in almost every way. I will probably do what most voters that decide elections do, vote for the guy mentioned on the last sign I see on the way to the polls.
(right now I’m leaning toward Tancredo, but I like Hick, but Tom…..)

ok, I just opened up a piece work job request on monster.com in your area. job description is to spray paint the word “Hickenlooper” backwards on your windshield. I just checked and after 5 minutes on the board I’ve already got 4 bids. 3 offering to do it for free.
I laughed out loud when you said you’d vote for Tancrazy for King. So many layers of irony there. thx!

what can I say, at the very least the down payment on the price of admission to my world is “crazy”.
October 29th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
ok, I amended my monster.com request to include that the spray paint must be in a ‘crazy’ color. 38 bids, 29 of them for free, 7 from family members of yours, 4 neighbors/HOA. I’ve also specified a really crazy font.

I know who the neighbor is, don’t let her fool you, she used three aliases.
Hell my family would probably pay you! (you would have to tell them how to spell it though) (they have my genes)

I thought about spelling genes “jeans” but I figured I have given you enough ammo for one day.
Have a good weekend my friend.
