The cure for goons trying to muscle you are push pins. Purely defensive, you can palm them between your fingers until needed, and if a cop is called, you just lose them.
When the goon pushes, whatever he pushes with gets poked. It is surprisingly effective. The technique used to be a lit cigarette, but that is no longer in vogue.

yep - Arabic. Basij were Iranian hicks, Paleos and other foreign undesirables as they were more reliable when asked to beat the shit out of Farsi-speaking Iranians. Something they learned from Saddam

Thanks, should have known that. The Chinese used troops from distant regions in the Tiananmen Square massacre. Easier to direct and control outsiders to do your dirty deeds.

Fortunately, we don't have to rely upon MSM to insure video is made public and widespread. Just waiting for that Bull Connor imagery circa 2009 to set the world afire. Like the scorpion and the frog, the left can't help being its true self.

TW - if your rebuke was over not taking the first shot, then I have a bone to pick. If I have a chance to take the the first (justified) shot, I will, and there will be no second shot.

Rielle Hunter, John Edwards' former mistress, went inside the federal courthouse in Raleigh Thursday morning. A grand jury is meeting in the courthouse. FBI agents escorted Hunter into a back entrance at the courthouse shortly after 8:30 a.m. She was carrying her young daughter.
Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina and two-time presidential candidate, is under investigation to see if campaign funds were illegally paid to Hunter. There is also widespread speculation that Edwards fathered her child.
Last month, a long-time Edwards aide who once claimed to be the father of that child showed up at the courthouse when the grand jury was meeting.

Turns out the Sen. was really born in Mexicalli. Him was laid back in an ole saloon wit a paseo in him hand..... thar was also a shoe shine in deh picture ifn you catch mai drift.
I saw Beck's tirade against Obama when he called Obama a racist. Beck sounded like a shill for stormfront.org, not a conservative. On a personal level it would have been an embarrassment to call me a Beck fan after that episode.
Another video I saw of Beck's was his assistant dressed up like Linda Douglas, White House commo person. trying to counter White House misinformation about health care. You gotta wonder about what the point in that was. I don't have to switch to Fox news to watch a pathetic attempt at comedy using a man dressed as a woman and to hear a political point of view, a liberal one.
Disclosure: I think Beck is an idiot and a damn fool.
My point is why produce a video of a man dressed as a woman trying to get a laugh and make a political point at the same time, while trying to purvey news?
At least with network sitcoms you know you are being bullsh*tted, and very little of what you are seeing is reality,and all to get a cheap laugh and to to get eyes on a product to be sold?.
Sorta like Beck.
And again: what was the point of the cr0ssdress1ng? Does Beck endorse cr0ssdress1ng as a legitimate means of political debate because if he does that means to me that he is probably an exh1bit10nist by broadcasting the same crap trotted out routinely by liberals to shock and belittle their opponents, both in an out of the "news."
Again, what Beck is doing.
Why does he have to bring the tawdry soft p0rnograph1c sh*t ( to call it what it is ) onto the airwaves,which are flooded with it nowadays already.
Do we not have enough of it?
Can he not forbear to draw a line somewhere in his commentary that he won't deliberately belittle anyone, men or women, with schticks such as the cr0ssdressing fat guy?
#5
Every time I see Beck I get the feeling he's not a conservative, he just plays one on TV.
Every time I'm over at my older relatives' and they have Fox on, I wonder if Fox exists because if there weren't a TV network out there pretending to be conservative someone would start a real one.
Actually, I do. Just like someone you don't like very much telling a joke you've heard ten times this week already.
I get it. Really, funny, ha ha; the same damn dumb joke told by liberals that fat white men are really secretly cr0ssdressers. But it stopped being funny 100,000 times ago. Now, it's just a lot of tedious cr*p you didn't want to hear to begin with, anyway.

Boris there is a difference between the two highlighted words above. I don't recall Colbert, Rush, Hannity, etc. ever claiming to be a news program. Should Rush stop saying "It's eleven o'clock, time for welfare recipients to get up"?
Maybe, during her MSM career, Linda Douglas should never have cr0ssdressed as a journalist!
The unedited "commentary" at the middle of the controversy:
He just sounds lie a neo-Nazi. Maybe not getting into the sewer to make his Commentary his purpose would be better served.
But right now he sounds like he is still grasping at the issues. He just doesn't seem to get it. Doing that video just makes Ms. Douglas and her employers appreciate the irony of what Beck is saying, and that is all. It's ultimately no way to convince anyone of his views.
And as for Rush: I listen to Rush for about an hour daily. He's like a can of Coca Cola. He goes flat after awhile. Now were he to dressed like an overweight welfare mother caricature complete with all the acoustic accouterments, there would be a problem. It's a damn sight different than jumping into the sewer to make Commentary.
#10
Becks skits can get tiresome to some (especially me) but his information is legit. If it weren't he would have been in court long ago. He's not neo-nazi, he's Libertarian. Not at all the same thing. Neo-Nazi is Zero/Pelosi/Reid as has been pointed out by Beck and others in recent times.
#11
The absurd one in this whole episode, IMHO, is Linda Douglas as she puts on her reading glasses an turns to the Drudge headline and declares the video is out of context. You be the judge:
#12
I'm pretty sure our president doesn't hate white people, but that he despises them as suckers for his particular line of nonsense. Thus far his life experience supports his conclusion well enough to be a working hypothesis. Mr. Beck is a fool to polarize his viewership with such a facile but easily disproved claim.
Separately, this very thread is proof that different people find different things funny... or not. Accusing others of lacking a sense of humour simply because your individual sets do not intersect at a given point will lose you the argument immediately. Insulting them for it will lose you a portion of the audience whom you really were attempting to persuade. Personally, I find cursing and sexual innuendo immediately make the funny unfunny. The evidence, however, is that I am a minority in the single digits on this. Nonetheless, I somehow manage to find amusement enough to go on with.
#15
I have to agree with Bad. Beck takes a valid issue and undercuts it by playing the fool with it. Never have liked the guy.

Beck Obama takes a valid issue and undercuts it by playing the fool with it. Never have liked the guy but the schtick landed him in the White House with a massive cushion in the House and a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
FYP I wish conservatives were as hard on the left when the left does far worse on a consistent basis as they are on Beck when he, on occasion, does something that would be relatively mild if placed on the spectrum of lefty behavior
#17
If there was a little more "civil, well reasoned discourse" on Fox I might be able to watch them. But I've seen far too many shouting matches on Fox for my tastes. They generate a whole lot more heat than light. I can't watch it all.
#18
There is so little "civil, well-reasoned discourse" anywhere on TV or radio, I have pretty well abandoned hoping to get any in the future. At least when I'm reading I can just skip over the trash & continue to look for what I consider important.
#20
I get enough emotional BS from the Left, don't need it from the pseudo-right.
Same here but there exists a portion of the electorate driven far more, and in many cases probably completely or nearly so, by their own emotional response to the histrionics of polemicists like Beck, Coulter or the legions of such people on the left.
If conservative ideas are to prevail, or even be competitive with leftist ideals, in a representative government it's absolutely necessary that at least a portion of those votes swing right. We may not love or respect Beck and his ilk but they're necessary. Unfortunately.

I watched that section and thought it was pretty funny. Satire is supposed to be funny. Somehere the left figures that only SNL or Daily should be funny.
My wife cannot understand why I watch Beck. My answer...because I can.
Senator Chris Dodd's reelection bid received a boost today with word that the Senate ethics committee has cleared him of breaking rules in receiving VIP mortgages from Countrywide.
The Select Committee on Ethics told the Connecticut Democrat in a letter that after a yearlong investigation, it found "no substantial credible evidence" that his Countrywide mortgages in 2003, refinancing his home in Connecticut and another residence in Washington, broke Senate gift rules, the Associated Press reports.
"I'm pleased and gratified that the Democrats and Republicans on the Ethics Committee have dismissed this complaint and found that the underlying accusations simply were not credible," Dodd, who plans a news conference this afternoon, said in a statement. "I understand that my reaction to those false allegations only served to foster cynicism. And that was my fault."
The panel also cleared Senator Kent Conrad, who received two Countrywide mortgages in 2004, one for a beach house in Delaware and another for an eight-unit apartment building in Bismarck, N.D.
The letters tell both Dodd and Conrad that even though they didn't break any rules, the committee believes they should have been more careful in their dealings with Countrywide to avoid the appearance they were receiving sweetheart deals because they were senators, the AP says.
Both senators have said that at the time the mortgages were being written they didnt know they were getting unique deals from Countrywide, a company that lost billions of dollars on bad loans and since has been purchased by Bank of America.
Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, is facing a tough reelection fight. Last week, he announced that he is receiving treatment for early-stage prostate cancer but plans to seek another term.
Hillary Clinton has signalled a significant shift by the US in favour of the international criminal court, the world body that pursues war criminals but was strenuously opposed by the Bush administration. In the most public expression of support yet from Barack Obama's administration, the US secretary of state expressed regret that the US has not yet joined the ICC.
The court, set up in 2002, has pursued dictators, mainly from Africa, who are alleged to have been engaged in genocide and other war crimes.
And plan to pursue American soldiers just as soon as we join up ...
The US is at present not only not a member but government officials are theoretically banned from any engagement with the ICC whatsoever. An administration official predicted there will be increased US cooperation with the ICC but cautioned against expecting early entry.
Clinton, speaking at a public meeting in Kenya, the first leg of an African tour, indicated she hoped this would come sooner rather than later: "This is a great regret that we are not a signatory. I think we could have worked out some of the challenges that are raised concerning our membership. But that has not yet come to pass."
There is a divide in the Obama administration over entry. Clinton and some other senior figures at the White House and state department are passionately in favour, while others advocate caution, saying the president can afford not to rush membership and should wait to see how the ICC evolves.
Supporters of the ICC, including the UK, which is a member, have long advocated the US joining, saying this would immensely strengthen the body.
But President George Bush blocked American membership, expressing fears that US officials could be open to arrest for alleged war crimes. The Pentagon was concerned that US soldiers might end up in court in The Hague.
In December 2000, just before he left office, the former president Bill Clinton signed up to the ICC. But Bush two years later announced that the US would not be joining and a bill ratifying membership failed to get through Congress.
Noah Weisbord, who teaches law at Duke University and who worked in The Hague with the ICC's chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, expressed scepticism about whether the US would sign up within the next four years, but he said the US can help the ICC in other ways. This included help in gathering evidence and in isolating diplomatically leaders accused of war crimes as a precursor to bringing them to justice.
"Hilary Clinton's comment that she regrets that the US is not yet a signatory to the ICC is intriguing. I think it marks an important moment in the courtship between the US and the ICC. Not only has she voiced an aspiration, but she has explicitly stated that the US has been cooperating with the ICC," said Weisbord.
Barack Obama backed the ICC's decision earlier this year to issue an arrest warrant for the Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir in connection with the mass killings in Darfur.
This week Clinton criticised African leaders who continued to support Bashir instead of helping to bring him to justice. She said the US supported the charges and considered the ICC indictments against him as a clear message that his behaviour was outside accepted bounds.
The British government was coy yesterday about reacting to her comments. A Foreign Office spokesperson issued a short statement, without referring to the US: "The UK played a leading role in the negotiations and drafting of the Rome statute [which set up the ICC]. We believed then, and continue to do so, that the principles of the statute can help bring an end to the culture of impunity for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community."
During his election campaign, Obama's foreign policy advisers said he would on taking office consult with US military commanders and examine the track record of the court before reaching a decision.
But the advisers also said that membership would be difficult while the US was still in Iraq and the prison at Guantanamo Bay remained open.
Supporters of the ICC say the US is losing out by not being a member, citing discussion currently underway on adding the crime of aggression to the ICC's list. This is being shaped without US participation. A vote on the new crime is scheduled for May next year in Uganda.
So far 110 countries have ratified the Rome statute. Those who have not signed, apart from the US, include Russia, China and Israel.
Although the Bush administration frequently cited Pentagon concerns, US lawyers report that there appears to be a shift there too, with some senior military figures now viewing the court as a useful tool rather than a threat.
One of the most prestigious international legal bodies in the US, the American Society of International Law, published a report in March from its own taskforce, which unanimously recommended that the Obama administration officially engage with the ICC and give serious consideration to joining the court.

Well, now is the best time to ignore the Constitution and Constitutional protections of our citizenry. There is no question given the acts of Spanish and Italian courts to try to haul our servicemembers into international tribunals for carrying out their duties, that the ICC is just waiting to hammer Americans. This is the State Department's way of getting even with DoD for State's abject failure in Iraq and DoD's success.
A leading Democrat in the House of Representatives who has rebuffed Republican efforts to subpoena records of a mortgage program for favored borrowers at Countrywide Financial Corp got home loans from that lender, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Representative Edolphus Towns, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, obtained two loans from Countrywide, which was bought last year by Bank of America, the newspaper said, citing information from the lawmaker's mortgage documents.
Towns has turned down calls from the committee's ranking Republican, Darrell Issa, for the panel to subpoena mortgage records showing who received loans through Countrywide's VIP program, the journal said. The program offered loans to politically influential figures and other favored borrowers at more attractive terms than were available to the general public.
The mortgage documents on the loans to Towns contain a Countrywide address and branch number that correspond to the VIP program, the Journal reported. Towns told the paper through a spokeswoman that his decision not to subpoena the VIP records "has nothing to do with his mortgages" and that if the mortgages came through the VIP program "it was without his knowledge."
Towns was not immediately available for comment outside regular U.S. office hours.
In June, Issa wrote to Bank of America asking it to disclose any special mortgage terms the bank's Countrywide unit gave to politically influential customers over an eight-year period. Bank of America bought Countrywide last year after the mortgage lender collapsed under the weight of bad mortgages and defaults.
Countrywide's VIP program of preferential mortgage rates was also known as the "Friends of Angelo" program, after Countrywide founder Angelo Mozilo.
In February, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, a Democrat, said he would refinance two mortgages that he took out in 2003 under Countrywide's VIP program.
Washington Wink-Winks were flying fast Monday when a memo surfaced from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi describing the Democrats' plan to "partner" with AARP, SEIU and others in an August recess PR blitz for Obamacare and against Republicans who oppose it.
Triple Ws are the lame excuses Washington elitists like Pelosi and AARP activists hide behind whenever they are caught red-handed. Then they deny what is obvious to everybody else while winking reassurance to their momentarily puzzled supporters that they don't really mean the denials.
Here's how it came down Monday. Connie Hair of Human Events reported on the Pelosi memo, including this key graph:
"The Leadership is working in close coordination with the White House and outside groups (including but not limited to HCAN, Families USA, AFSCME, SEIU, AARP, etc.) to ensure complementary efforts during August. The President, Secretary Sebelius and other principals in the reform debate will be working throughout the month to hold events, promote the message in the press and move the reform effort forward."
Nothing unusual there. Congressional leaders always launch PR blitzes at opponents during the August recess, right? Working with activist allies is part of the game: They ask the leaders' planted questions at constituent forums and town halls, help generate favorable home-town press from like-minded journalists, and issue "reports" full of glowing praise for favored lawmakers.
But Hair's story caught my eye because it flatly contradicted a Friday declaration in The Washington Examiner by AARP CEO Barry Rand that "AARP has not endorsed any of the bills currently being debated in the Congress."
The WWWs started coming thick and fast as soon as I asked AARP about the Pelosi memo. The 40 million-member group's vice president, Drew Nannis, immediately got on the phone with Pelosi's staff, and within a few minutes came back with the claim that the memo Hair published was just a "draft" composed by an "over-zealous staffer."
Nannis also said AARP would just be "answering our members questions" and - here's the clever clincher - "AARP is participating in AARP's campaign." He even kindly secured a copy of the "final" Pelosi memo, from which the offending paragraph magically disappeared.
It was all I could do not to ROFL at this display by multiple specimens of the rapidly proliferating breed constantly seen and heard going to and fro in the nation's capitol, the Boobus Liberal Extremis Elitum Politico (BLEEP).
Washington BLEEPs come with either brilliant blue or fading red markings, but all of them think gullible tax-paying Joe Six Packs believe them when they toss out lines like the "over-zealous staffer" bit to explain away a memo describing what everybody else in town with a pulse and brain waves already knows.
Of course AARP is helping Democrats confront hordes of outraged constituents. Many of those shouting the loudest are seniors who now see that they've been had by politicians and organizations they once trusted.
Remember, AARP has more than a billion dollars in assets and nearly a billion in annual revenues from membership dues, profits on insurance sales and endorsements, seminars, and other money-making ventures tirelessly aimed at every American age 50 or older. And it spends more lobbying than any other non-corporate Washington special interest.
Most seniors oppose Obamacare, yet the Washington AARP staff is a major employment center for Democratic activists, policy wonks, campaign contributors, and propagandists. The group's lavish Washington headquarters is a BLEEP hot house.
That's why I doubt that anybody reading this column can name one bill in Congress that AARP has supported in the past decade to freeze or cap any federal entitlement. To the contrary, more than 50 pages are needed on its official disclosure report to list all the issues on which AARP lobbies to keep government growing.
The AARP guys weren't the only BLEEPs rolling out the Triple Ws Monday. When I asked Brendan Daly, Pelosi's spokesman, why the "over-zealous staffer" included the graph mentioning AARP in the memo in the first place, his response was: "It shouldn't have been."
Shrewd BLEEPS know some questions from Joe Sixpack are best ignored, no matter how foolish it makes the Washington guy look.

Not only did the tea party folks make their voices heard, but they also blunted a well financed propaganda campaign they didn't even know about.

AARP is another useless lobbying group that used their influence for payoff. Drop your memberships immediately. Why pay for a dennys breakfast when they lobby to cut off your care at 80?
ABC's Steven Portnoy reports:
There were no lobbyist-funded buses in the parking lot of Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday evening, and the hundreds of Eastern Maryland residents who packed the school's auditorium loudly refuted the notion that their anger over the Democrats' health care reform plans is "manufactured."
"I went to school in this school," a man named Bob told me. "I don't see anyone in this room that isn't from Mardela Springs right now."

a commenter on the Belmont's Club's article on the Obama Snitch Line said:
When the new med-care comes on line if you are in their snitch list:
Youâll get an End of Life Consultation.
Being caring people, they want you to be aware
of the palliative care Hospice can provide.
And with the Chicago Tao of Politics - its likely true.

Republicans are under no obligation to carry out anything the Democrats do, but they never, NEVER, repeal any of the Democrats programs. Why not?
Right now, I want to see Republican congressmen standing up and saying, "If you elect a wide Republican majority in the next congress, we will THROW OUT everything being done right now! Cap and Trade will be REPEALED! Socialized medicine will be REPEALED! And all the other STUPID ideas that the Democrats put forth will be REPEALED!"

I fear that there's too much time between now and the 2010 elections. Too many folks will go 'back to sleep'. Timing is everything and the political masters on the left know full well why they're pushing stuff so fast. It has little to do with any 'reading the bill' stuff. It has everything to do with the general population's attention span.

The population's attention span is one thing, but the amount of pain they will be experiencing between now & the next election is quite another. Unless all those unemployed are back to work by then, fat chance of that happening.
Aug. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration told Democratic senators that its agreement with drugmakers doesnt bar Congress from requiring the industry to absorb further cuts in government spending on drugs, Senator Dick Durbin said.
White House aide David Axelrod told the senators as far as he is concerned there is no deal requiring the administration to protect drugmakers from further spending cuts as part of a U.S. health-care overhaul, Durbin said. He spoke during an interview taped for Bloomberg Televisions Political Capital With Al Hunt.
Drugmakers agreed to $80 billion in drug-cost savings in negotiations with the Obama administration earlier this year as Congress began drafting health-care legislation. The administration also has negotiated cost-saving agreements with other areas of the health-care industry. All agreements come with an expiration date.
Axelrod held a closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats today. Durbin said the White House aide denied a media report that quoted a drug lobbyist as saying the agreement requires the Obama administration to prevent Congress from imposing further drug savings.
He told us there was no agreement in that regard, Durbin said. I dont think any, if many, of us feel bound by any understanding or agreement along those lines.

Rich Galen's Mullings.com:
The New York Times had an amazing front page story yesterday which I would have thought would have jumped to the top of every cable news cycle except for the Senates confirmation of Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The headline of the story was: White House Affirms Deal on Drug Cost by David Kirkpatrick.
I want you to read the lead paragraph very slowly:
Pressed by industry lobbyists, White House officials on Wednesday assured drug makers that the administration stood by a behind-the-scenes deal to block any Congressional effort to extract cost savings from them beyond an agreed-upon $80 billion.
Whoa! Check Please!
How can the words industry lobbyists and White House be in the same sentence? We have been told to the point of needing Compazine (an anti-nausea drug) that this administration was, is, and will always be a lobbyist-free zone.
Yet, here it is; in the newspaper of record. The White House had reached a secret deal with the pharmaceutical industry to put a ceiling on the amount of money the government could save by negotiating for lower drug prices. In the words of the NY Times, the White House had committed to protect drug makers from bearing further costs in the [health care] overhaul but had never spelled out the details of the agreement.
Oh, here we are in graf seven:
The new attention to the agreement could prove embarrassing to the White House, which has sought to keep lobbyists at a distance, including by refusing to hire them to work in the administration.
Embarassing? Ya think, DiNozzo? (To quote Leroy Jethro Gibbs).
It turns out that there is a quid pro quo for keeping the drug companies out of the rough and tumble world of free markets. Again, from Mr. Kirkpatricks piece:
Failing to publicly confirm [the drug lobbys] descriptions of the deal risked alienating a powerful industry ally currently helping to bankroll millions in television commercials in favor of Mr. Obamas reforms. [emphasis mine]
So let me walk through this. In strange world in which Obamaville is located, lobbyists are bad only if and until the White House needs them to do things like run ads in favor of nationalized health care and then lobbyists are good.

So Hillary many liberals were killed in Florida in 200 protesting the election? How many brownshirst were released against the protesters in Florida? (I'm talking liberal protesters...).
But this is common in liberalspeak. Equalate a conservative position to some horrible event in history. Bush == Hitler, Cheeney == Hitler, etc.... See a pattern? It is a mental illness.
I've been speechless for over a year - and nearly that way for much longer - so what can I say? Bush won Florida by about 600 votes - as confirmed by subsequent independent recounts by newspaper/accounting firm teams. Which of course isn't even the point here.
Did this really happen? Did this drooling idiot of a SecState really say this? Will the so-called press report it? (the SecState always travels with a pool, usually 7-10, including TV crews).
Though it's hardly any consolation, it's nice to see a foreign blog as aghast as any sane American will be about this. And 2 of the first 3 comments at that blog are excellent, expressing the outrage and disbelief that an American SecState would say such a preposterous and outrageous thing.
I say hardly any consolation because the cretinization and moral inversion of language and debate in America is complete, and the worst perps pay no price whatsoever.

You are an idiot bitch. The "Supreme leader" is not the flaunt - it would be a good idea to learn about foreign policy and affairs before accepting a job conducting such work.
Of course, all democrats take jobs they are useless at - not to disclude president and secretary of state.
You all suck, are going to hell, and have no idea what you are doing while preaching to US about your phenomenal wisdom.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
