This week, Allison Vivas of Pink Visual received a fax from Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) group, informing her that she’s been chosen for a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year award by his Business Defense and Advisory Council
Pink Visual is aparently a porn superstore, and once the conservatives found that out, they retracted the award. When they invited Allison to dinner with New at the Capitol Hill Club, THEY LIED!!!!!
Wilson’s outburst was designed by the GOP corporate PR fronts to distract media coverage following Obama’s cogent and compelling remarks to Congress.
Geraldo is asking Michele Bachmann to take her hyperbole down a notch. That’s funny. Huckabee blames Obama for Wilson’s Remarks. Anne Coulter claims that Michele Bachmann is her fave.
Oh, and confirmed: Wilson’s outburst WAS an act of racism.
Her point is, and she’s right, that there really is not any longer a difference between the extremists and the Republicans.

… And he has apologized. He actually called the White House to apologize, and the apology was accepted by a high ranking staff member and presumably conveyed to the president.
I just saw him speak of the “apology.” If that was an apology, I’m the Queen of England.
NBC report below the fold.
OK, folks, were taking this MoFo down next election.
Did you need proof that the Right Wing is stocked with nefarious morons? And I’m not sure which word to emphasize, nefarious or moron. Both, I guess.
About a year ago today was the Republican National Convention, and at that time (and prior, during, and after) numerous arrests were made under Patriot-Act spawn laws of people who did little more than attempt vigorous protest, plan vigorous protest, or in some cases, randomly blunder into town at the wrong moment.
Most charges were dropped (but not all … we hopefully await that event in about a month) and law suits that have great promise have advanced. And now, owing to some excellent reporting based on recently obtained materials, we now know the following:
The Saint Paul Police and their allies in law enforcement are pigs. And, they are stupid pigs. And I’ll throw the mayor of Saint Paul in that category as well, at least until he publicly and formally apologizes for what happened. And then there are the judges that let this travesty happen.
Hey, listen. I’ve pointed you to a lot of posts on Quiche Moraine. This time, I mean it. I really really want you to read “The Day the Right Wing Lost Its Last Shred of Moral Standing.” This is important to me. Please do it.
Barach Obama could stumble in drunk and spend a half hour picking his nose and it would be better than what we are used to.

All the kiddies have to wait until September eight, but I’ve obtained a copy of it!!!!

Dear Dr. Thein,
I am a parent of a child in the Roseville, MN School District. I am very concerned about news reports I’ve been hearing from elsewhere in Minnesota indicating that there are parents upset about The President of the United States addressing the students in some classrooms next week.
I am primarily concerned with the responses by the school districts to the parents. The responses I’ve heard have been rather appeasing to these parents. I do not think this is appropriate.
The parents in question are insane.

A poll of facebook … link is here … asks “Should President Obama be allowed to do a nationwide address to school children without parental consent?”
I find the wording of that statement to be astounding. But anyway, if you are on facebook, you may want to go and vote. CUrrently, 65% say NO, 29% say YES.
OH, and people are posting this on their facebook status today:
“_______ believes that no one should die because they cannot afford health care, and nobody should go broke because they get sick.”
(you put your name int he blank, or whatever)
Drug monkey points out the latest over the tip insanity… The President of the United States plans to distribute an address to the nation’s school children on September 8th, and some of the wingnuts are saying they want their kids out of school, or out of the classroom, for that event. They are pretty sure this is part of Obama’s attempt to spread socialism. There is a poll asking this question:
What are your feelings about the President addressing school children in a speech on September 8th?
HERE. So, you have the opportunity to express your opinion on this vitally important topic.
I made the point in an earlier post (Discordant Democrats vs. Republican Dittoheads) that Republicans work in lock step and simply do whatever they are told. I’m not talking (necessarily) about the average Joe the Plumber Republican. I’m talking about elected officials with law degrees. The average United States Senator or Representative who happens to be a Republican needs not think, read, or consider. All he or she needs to do is listen to the orders and follow them. Thining on one’s own is simply not done.
Does that sound like a typical Greg Laden over the top bit of hyperbole? It does? Ha! This time it is not!

Corporate America removed Bush from office for the pragmatic reason that civilization would have collapsed had they not. Now, with Democrats resting on their laurels and drunk with power, Corporate America seeks to restructure the economy, the regulatory system, and society as benefits them most. Are you going to just let that happen?
