Look at Me! Fading Feminist Hack Naomi Wolf Gets Herself Arrested Outside HuffPost Event

All this Occupy Wall Street nonsense has become is an opportunity for these preening douchebags to get some attention. Here you have this paunchy hag smiling for the cameras as she pretends to be a freedom fighter raging against "greed" or something.

Author and activist Naomi Wolf was among about a dozen people arrested on Tuesday night outside of a Huffington Post event in New York.

A group of approximately 50 demonstrators from Occupy Wall Street showed up at the event--held at Skylight Studios in Manhattan--to protest in front of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was being honored as a "game changer" by Arianna Huffington's site.

Wolf, who contributes regularly to the Huffington Post, was a guest at the event. According to Gothamist, the modern feminist icon challenged a police officer's claim that the protesters needed a permit to use a megaphone.

"After numerous warnings that she would be arrested," Bucky Turco wrote on the Animal New York blog, "she ignored the police and was promptly arrested."

So she writes for the PuffHost and was a guest at the event, yet manages to have herself arrested.

You may barely remember this has-been as the woman who used to advise Al Gore to wear earth tones and for some of her comic stylings at the PuffHost.

Early on, Hitler sought legislation that retroactively protected the SS from war crimes. This was a major step to opening the door to the violence against German citizens that followed. The Bush administration has sought to shield its violent interrogators retrospectively from being charged with war crimes.

Funny, but I don't recall her getting arrested during the Bush years.

How ironic.

Al Gore's Fashion Consultant Announces the Arrival of the Sarah Palin Police State

For all the insane rants against Sarah Palin since she was announced as John McCain's running mate, this should definitely earn top honors as the most loony, paranoid rant of them all.

No small irony it's coming from the nitwit who advised Al Gore to wear earth tones.

Please understand what you are looking at when you look at Sarah "Evita" Palin. You are looking at the designated muse of the coming American police state.

You have to understand how things work in a closing society in order to understand "Palin Power." A gang or cabal seizes power, usually with an affable, weak figurehead at the fore. Then they will hold elections -- but they will make sure that the election will be corrupted and that the next affable, weak figurehead is entirely in their control. Remember, Russia has Presidents; Russia holds elections. Dictators and gangs of thugs all over the world hold elections. It means nothing. When a cabal has seized power you can have elections and even presidents, but you have freedom.

Did she mention Palin is affable but weak?

First of all, the Evita Peron comparison is absurd on its face. Peron married into power. Palin is the power in her family, sweetie, if case you haven't noticed. No slight against The First Dude, but he isn't running for office.

Well, at least she realizes Palin is affable.

I realized early on with horror what I was seeing in Governor Palin: the continuation of the Rove-Cheney cabal, but this time without restraints. I heard her echo Bush 2000 soundbites ("the heart of America is on display") and realized Bush's speechwriters were writing her -- not McCain's -- speeches. I heard her tell George Bush's lies -- not McCain's -- to the American people, linking 9/11 to Iraq. I heard her make fun of Barack Obama for wanting to prevent the torture of prisoners -- this is Rove-Cheney's enthusiastic S and M, not McCain's, who, though he shamefully colluded in the 2006 Military Tribunals Act, is also a former prisoner of war and wrote an eloquent Newsweek piece in 2005 opposing torture. I saw that she was even styled by the same skillful stylist (neutral lipstick, matte makeup, dark colors) who turned Katharine Harris from a mall rat into a stateswoman and who styles all the women in the Bush orbit --but who does not bother to style Cindy McCain.

Style concerns coming from the woman who tried to dress up the Wooden Indian. Oh, savor the irony.

Then I saw and heard more. Palin is embracing lawlessness in defying Alaskan Legislature subpoenas --this is what Rove-Cheney, and not McCain, believe in doing. She uses mafia tactics against critics, like the police commissioner who was railroaded for opposing handguns in Alaskan battered women's shelters -- Rove's style, not McCain's. I realized what I was seeing.

I realize what I'm seeing is a public nervous breakdown.

Does Arianna Huffington allow this crap to be published so she can secretly laugh at these people? Really, this is mental illness on display.

What's the plan? It is this. McCain doesn't matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state and be the talk show hostess for the end of elections as we know them. If McCain-Palin get in, this will be the last true American election. She will be working for Halliburton, KBR, Rove and Cheney into the foreseeable future -- for a decade perhaps -- a puppet "president" for the same people who have plundered our treasure, are now holding the US economy hostage and who murdered four thousand brave young men and women in a way of choice and lies.

How, you may ask, can I assert this? How can I argue, as I now do, that there is actually a war being ramped up against US citizens and our democracy and that Sarah Palin is the figurehead and muse for that war?

Got all that? So to summarize, John McCain is going to die soon because reputable dermatologists told her so, we won't have any elections after this year, the Cheney-Rove cabal will run our lives and, oh, by the way, did we mention they murdered 4000 soldiers?

She almost makes Matt Damon sound lucid.

In McCain-Palin's America, citizens who are protesting are being charged as terrorists. This means that a violent war had been declared on American citizens. A well known reporter leaked to me on background that St Paul police had dressed as protesters and, dressed in Black -- shades of the Blackshirts of 1920 -- infiltrated protest groups. There were also phalanxes of men in black wearing balaclavas, linking arms and behaving menacingly -- alleged "anarchists." Let me tell you, I have been on the left for thirty years and you can't get three lefties to wear the same t-shirt to a rally, let alone link arms and wear identical face masks: these are not our guys. Agent Provocateurs framing protesters and calling protest "terrorism" constitutes step ten of a police state...

The lunacy continues. She's delusional to the point where she believes people are infiltrating her bank accounts, reading her email and stealing her kid's reports cards. This woman is in serious need of psychiatric evaluation. If anything, she should face punishment for the egregious overuse of the word cabal.

Ms. Wolf, the doctor will see you now.

Instapundit links. Thanks!

Thanks also to Hot Air for the link.

Hysterical Naomi Cries Wolf

When your crowning achievement in politics is being known as the person who suggested Al Gore wear earth tones, serious political analysis may not be your forte.

Now blithering idiot Naomi Wolf demonstrates that beyond all doubt with a rambling discussion on how condemning the outrageous MoveOn.org "Betray Us" is leading us lockstep into--you guessed correctly--Nazi Germany.

And Soviet-era Russia.

And Mussolini's Italy.

And Communist China.

This is either brilliant satire or raging, incurable Bush Derangement Syndrome.

I suspect it's the latter.

Yeah, I didn't like the wording of the ad either. But the attack on MoveOn.org by the Senate last week is not an aberration but is part of a dangerous --and accelerating -- trend of echoes from the past.

Students of history know that the National Socialists in Germany, before they came to power, made multiple assaults on democracy by pushing for laws and that expanded penalties for opponents' speaking out against certain subjects. What they -- and then Stalin, who studied Hitler -- perfected was the identification of a `third rail' of untouchable subjects that one could never approach critically without facing escalating penalties -- job loss, personal attacks, or, just a little later, criminal charges. These subjects were the war, the party itself, and the military. Making these subjects sacred and untouchable allowed National Socialists to commit any number of crimes by explaining that the abusive actions were taken in the name of the off-limits-to-criticism ideals.

OK, so you "didn't like the wording."

Well, neither did millions of people who were justifiably outraged. How does this lead us to fascism? Has anyone lost their job or been brought up on charges?

She goes on to say how much she loves the troops, blah blah blah, then gets to the heart of it.

The National Socialists introduced the term 'Heimat' -- Homeland. The Bush administration introduced the term 'Homeland,' as in 'Homeland Security,' to take the place of the more neutral 'Domestic' or 'Internal.'

And they did this right before our eyes! Better yet, until an image consultant came along six years later, nobody even suspected a thing.

A ha! You've got them now, baby.

To show how devious Bush is, he's also copying Stalin, no less.

Stalin coined the hyped notion of what he called 'sleepers' or 'sleeper cells' -- these were purported to be secret terrorist agents of global capitalism who would pretend to be good Soviet citizens, perhaps for years, but who would rise up at a signal to wreak mass havoc on Soviet society. By 2002, the White House introduced the term 'sleeper cells,' which was not in common usage in America.

Actually, the public became quite familiar with sleeper cells. The precise moment was 9:03 am on 9/11/01, just as the second plane hit the World Trade Center.

Wait, it gets better.

Joseph Goebbels pioneered the 'embedding' of reporters with military troops as a way to support favorable coverage; William Shirer was embedded with German troops in the invasion of France and Nazi filmmaker Leni von Riefenstahl was embedded with German troops in Poland.

Little did the average reporter who was embedded with the troops at the outstart of the Iraq war realize they were modern-day Leni Riefenstahls.

The more dot-connecting to do. She's on to us now.

Early on, Hitler sought legislation that retroactively protected the SS from war crimes. This was a major step to opening the door to the violence against German citizens that followed. The Bush administration has sought to shield its violent interrogators retrospectively from being charged with war crimes.

Hmm. An ominous parallel. U.S. interrogators quake in fear of retrospective charges.

Lenin set up military tribunals that bypassed the judiciary. Mussolini imitated this and did the same. Stalin imitated Mussolini and set up secretive military tribunals that bypassed the established judiciary. The National Socialists created the 'People's Courts' that bypassed the legitimate judiciary. These courts stripped prisoners of habeas corpus and were characterized by prisoners having no right of appeal.

Stalin pioneered the use of sleep deprivation, extremes of hot and cold, standing (or 'stress') positions, psychological humiliation, the use of dogs, and a separate facility to punish uncooperative prisoners in the Gulag with prolonged isolation. Guantanamo and U.S.-held Iraqi prisons reproduce the same tactics. (By the way, after a few days in a 'standing position,' which you recall Donald Rumsfeld supported, innocent prisoners in the Gulag would 'sign anything.')

Guantanamo Bay = Soviet gulags. Plain for all to see.

Except for the millions of dead.

How could we have not seen these parallels before?

Get this woman a Pulitzer.

OK, stop laughing. There's still more.

Nazi propaganda claimed that Jews hid from arrest in 'mouseholes.' When the scene of Saddam Hussein's capture was presented to the world, talking points, widely picked up by the media, introduced, again, a term that was generally unfamiliar in the U.S.: Hussein had been hiding in what they called a 'spider-hole.'

Saddam = terrified Jew in Nazi Germany?

Please tell me you are not making that comparison.

German troops tormented the imprisoned leader of Austria, Kurt von Schuschnigg, by blasting popular music into his cell day and night; U.S. interrogators do the same with rock and roll in U.S.-held Iraqi prisons.

Granted, it could be worse. It could be rap music.

The Chinese Politburo calls the secret surveillance file that keeps track of the work and private life of every Chinese citizen an 'iron triangle.' Bush referred to his former key group of advisers as the 'iron triangle.'

Many people have laughed at and called Naomi Wolf an idiot.

I'm laughing at this idiot.

Natually, the HuffPost commenters are lapping it up.

She's speaking truth to power, after all.
