Deranged Think Progress Loons: GOP Got Rid of Weiner to Protect Clarence Thomas or Something

The angry, racist left is on a jihad against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and are getting nuttier by the day. There lunatics seem to believe that Anthony Weiner was jettisoned at the behest of Thomas, not for tweeting his junk for all the world to see. Indeed, Weiner was obsessed with Thomas, as the left has been for over 20 years. But they're just getting carried away with themselves. The comments at their latest hit piece are comedy gold.

Such as:

One reason they went after Anthony Weiner so hard. He was going after Thomas hard, and his ignorance left those Repubs laughing all the way to the bank. He was one of the few who had the balls to take someone like Thomas on. No other Democrats have the balls to take this crook on, so we are just stuck.

Um, nobody in the GOP "went after" Weiner. He brought himself down and was forced out by his own party. How can anyone remember history when they can't remember last week? Literacy clearly isn't a strong suit at the liberal asylum:

I disagree Toni, the repigs are digging their grave//they will oppress the working class and the poor to make this country only for the 1% wealthy,do u comprehend what that means? unless your wealthy your in the ditch!!

Here's another Mensa candidate:

Is anyone going to do anything about it? No one made Vitter or Ensign resign...

Does she even realize John Ensign is no longer in the Senate? As to their pathetic obsession with David Vitter, the people of Louisiana overwhelmingly re-elected him last fall. Meanwhile, we're back to the nefarious "they" who made Weiner resign:

We, not only Democrats and progressives, but all the 'we's" out here are obliged to protect the rule of law and insist that our elected officials do their jobs. If we don't insist on it, it won't get done. If the Republicans can force Anthony Weiner to resign for legal behavior, what are the rest of us afraid of? Being aggressive? It's about time.

Seriously, what planet do these people live on? We close with this burst of pseudo-intellectualism. Nothing like thrown big words around without having the slightest clue what you're talking about.

Too often is resignation the remedy sought for the criminal behavior by the elites, either servants or officers of the government. A voluntary choice without legal repercussion. These criminals need to be held to account. Oh, but that simple task is beyond the means or willingness of our system of justice, as we are now most cognizant of the two tiered system of justice in this nation. Justice Thomas will continue to serve his masters without any reprimand. This is the age of oligarchic corporatism, plutocracy painted as democracy, we shouldn't expect anything more.

His masters? So what, he's a slave or something?

Sick: Think Progress Uses Tornado Tragedy To Castigate 'Climate Pollution Deniers'

The soulless goons at Think Progress think it's cute to promote their junk science agenda on the bodies of those killed by tornadoes Wednesday night. Even though so-called global warming, climate change, or whatever they're calling it today had nothing to do with the devastating tornado outbreak in the South, these pigs decide it's a good time to promote their twisted agenda.

The Congressional delegations of these states overwhelmingly voted (HR 910 and McConnell Amendment 183) to reject the science that polluting the climate is dangerous:

ALABAMA: All nine members of the Alabama congressional delegation voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution.

MISSISSIPPI: Five out of six members of the Mississippi congressional delegation, including both senators, voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution.

TENNESSEE: Nine out of 11 members of the Tennessee congressional delegation, including both senators, voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution.

GEORGIA: 13 out of 15 members of the Georgia congressional delegation, including both senators, voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution.

KENTUCKY: Six out of eight members of the Kentucky congressional delegation, including both senators, voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution.

VIRGINIA: Eight out of 13 members of the Virginia congressional delegation voted in April to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s endangerment finding for greenhouse pollution. Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) voted to suspend greenhouse pollution rules for two years.

Meteorologists blamed the weather, not so-called climate change.

US meteorologists warned Thursday it would be a mistake to blame climate change for a seeming increase in tornadoes in the wake of deadly storms that have ripped through the US south.

"If you look at the past 60 years of data, the number of tornadoes is increasing significantly, but it's agreed upon by the tornado community that it's not a real increase," said Grady Dixon, assistant professor of meteorology and climatology at Mississippi State University.

"It's having to do with better (weather tracking) technology, more population, the fact that the population is better educated and more aware. So we're seeing them more often," Dixon said.

But he said it would be "a terrible mistake" to relate the up-tick to climate change.

But since when has the left allowed facts to get in the way of their sick agenda?

Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), also dismissed Thursday climate change as a factor in the deadly tornadoes: "Actually what we're seeing is springtime," he said.

Our fellow Americans are digging through the rubble and mourning the dead, and the thugs at Think Progress are politicizing a tragedy. These people have no shame. They're truly evil.

Al Gore Now Suffering From Koch Derangement Syndrome

Talk about a giant circle jerk. Here you have discredited nutcase Al Gore quoting the discredited nutcases at Think Progress who are in the throes of Koch Derangement Syndrome. According to the kooks, if you don't go along with their risky schemes, you're now an extreme climate denier.

Pathetic: Lefty Clowns Now Quoting Reagan to Support Wisconsin Temper Tantrum

They think they're so clever. Obviously the moron who posted this conveniently ignores PATCO. They also speak nostalgically of the Solidarity movement in Eastern Europe.

Just one problem with this penetrating analysis. The left was vehemently opposed to Reagan while he was president and they were on the side of the Soviet Union opposing freedom for Eastern Europe.

The idiots would be better off quoting FDR.

Meanwhile, the community organizer-in-chief again invokes Reagan today. They must think this is actually fooling some people.

Nutty Left: John Bircher Who Died in 1965 Behind Scott Walker or Something

Yes, they really believe their own lunacy.

It should be no surprise that Walker’s radicalism is boosted by Bradley money. Today, the Bradley Foundation is controlled by a group of establishment Republicans, along with Washington Post columnist George Will. However, the Foundation’s agenda still reflects the extremist views of its founder, Harry Bradley. Although he passed away in 1965, Harry, a member of one Wisconsin’s most powerful families and a key financier of nationalist hate groups, would have eagerly applauded Walker’s union-busting agenda.

They obviously have no idea how insane they appear.

W's Revenge: 'Bush Donor Takeover' of MSNBC Leads to Olbermann Suspension

Friday's suspension of MSNBC anger management counselor Keith Olbermann has sent the left reeling, flailing and thrashing about wildly looking to claim other scalps while comically badgering Phil Griffin with emails and phone calls. But finally the super-sleuths at the George Soros "think tank" Think Progress have uncovered the dark forces behind the scenes--Bush donors!

Late last year, Comcast — the nation’s largest cable provider and second largest Internet service provider — inked a deal taking over NBC Universal, the parent company of MSNBC. Comcast moved swiftly to reshuffle MSNBC’s top staff. On September 26th of this year, Comcast announced perhaps the most dramatic shift, replacing longtime MSNBC chief Jeff Zucker with Comcast executive Steve Burke. Burke has given generous amounts to both parties — providing cash to outgoing Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) as well as to Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and other top Republicans. But as Public Citizen has noted, Burke has deep ties to the Republican Party. Public Citizen’s report reveals that Burke served as a key fundraiser to President George Bush, and even served on Bush’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology

So he's given to both parties, but somehow his connection to the evil Bush make for great copy.

Just one little teensy-weensy problem here. Comcast doesn't formally own MSNBC yet.

The dope who authored this nonsense revised that last paragraph to add this does of reality:

[Updated: The shift from Zucker to Burke has not taken place yet -- Burke will preside over MSNBC once the Comcast merger is complete. We have been informed that no Comcast officials are currently involved in the decisions of NBC or MSNBC.].

Oopsy! Oh well, it made a a great conspiracy while it lasted. Yes, it gets sillier.

Olbermann has been a strong voice in favor of a free and open Internet. Republicans, on the other hand, have supported the telecommunication industry’s push to radically change the Internet so corporate content producers have the upper hand over start-ups like blogs, independent media, small businesses, etc. As Reuters has reported, the incoming Republican Congress has signaled that it will vigorously side with companies like Comcast against an open Internet.

Got all that? To summarize: Republicans want to silence dissent, Olbermann is all for free speech. Well, except if it's Andrew Breitbart appearing on ABC News' election night coverage. Can't have that. Yes, these folks are all for free speech, as long as it's theirs. Think Progress and the goons from Media Matters will go to the ends of the earth to stifle dissent, yet we're supposed to believe it's Republicans and not these stormtroopers who want to silence people.

Wait, it gets even better. Who does the author next cite as a source? Why, Media Matters! You can't make this up.

Ohio Woman Dies of Swine Flu, Ghoulish Blogger Exploits It to Score Cheap Political Points

It's bad enough the discourse in this country has sunk so low we have the left doing a touchdown dance over the death of a census worker in Kentucky, so all-consuming is their hatred for all things conservative. That's bad enough. Now we have some ghoul at Think Progress (Motto: If We think, It Would Be Progress!) taking a fantastic leap forward to use the death of a young Ohio woman to take a cheapshot at GOP Congressman John Boehner because Boehner has the audacity to oppose the government takeover of the health care industry.

A 22-year-old woman from Oxford, Ohio, died from swine flu on Wednesday. Kimberly Young graduated from Miami University in December and continued to live in Oxford, Ohio, within Minority Leader John Boehner’s congressional distrct [sic]. Reports now indicate that after initially getting sick, Young put off treatment because she was uninsured.

That appears to be the case according to this news report.

So the young lady eschewed carrying insurance and now paid a tragic price for it. Yet left unmentioned is the fact she apparently didn't have a job with health benefits and there is also no mention of her parents or other family members. I'm not blaming them, obviously, but did she not have anyone to turn to for financial help if she was concerned she didn't have money for treatment?

How is any of this Boehner's fault?

So yet again we have a tragic case and the left immediately exploits it to score cheap political points. It really doesn't get any sicker than this.

The tragic irony in all this is let's say ObamaCare was enacted into law already. From most accounts I've seen it would be going into effect for several years at least, so in all likelihood this girl would still not have had coverage. Would Boehner still be to blame or would the Democrats who passed it but did not yet enact it be taking the hit for it?

We can have a public debate over policy in this country but we just cannot seem to escape the juvenile antics of these bloggers shamefully exploiting tragedies for some partisan gain. Taking this sad case and using it to bash her Congressman over the head with it just further drags the debate into the gutter, which is apparently where these people enjoy being.

It's worth noting that the young lady was apparently very liberal in her political beliefs. It's not a stretch to think is she were a conservative the thugs at Think Progress would probably be celebrating her death and saying she got what she deserved.

Update: This report now says she did not die of swine flu. I guess Boehner's still the blame anyway.

A roundup of the leftwing insanity here. The Think Progress clown gets eviscerated at the Right Wing Nut House.

What a dick, this Victor Zapanta, fellow is. Identified as a “researcher” for CAP, Zapanta is a blooded political activist having worked for both Clinton and Obama in 2008. Someone should teach this kid what it is a “researcher” does. What they don’t do is smear people based on the most outrageous number of degrees of separation - except in the hyper-partisan world of Think Progress where every raindrop that falls in New York is responsible for a flood in California. That’s actually a more realistic connection to reality than Zapanta’s wretched attempt at guilt by non-existent association.
...
The idea that Boehner’s opposition to health care reform - or that anything Boehner has ever said or done - is in any way responsible for this young girl’s death is unbelievably calumnious and so off base as to be beyond the pale of rationality, of reason, and logic. The notion that Think Progress is connected in any way to an organization - The Center for American Progress - that is supposed to be a serious place for the study and promotion of public policy is a disgrace to intellectual honesty, a blot on our public discourse, and an affront to the decency of our democracy.

If you were to peruse the archives of this uber-partisan rag, you would find literally hundreds of similar off the wall headlines that are not meant to inform, or even to attack based on facts, but rather to simply smear in the most vile and distorted manner. It is the worst of politics, and given their connection to a supposedly august think tank, beneath contempt.
