    Geez, George Tierney of Greenville SC just can’t stop digging.

    Oh, George I could wish you’d learn from all this, but that would require some level of introspection and a bit of humility. Both of which seem to have been on back order a very long time.

    Quit, George. Before you blow a ventricle.

    On the other hand. Calling out bullies is a noble profession. Thank you, tbogg.

    George Tierney (Jr.) just sorta amazes me.

    Where the hell does all that anger at people you’ve never met come from? Really.

  • Hi, there are quite a percentage of people who cannot “read” body language, and most of them seem to be TSA agents. Would think it should be one of the tests given to applicants, then enhanced with training.

    On most of this planet, women do the true, most basic work of the world. We bear the children, raise them and school them when we can pay. We keep the house, we till the fields, plant the crops, gather the harvest and cook the meals. We care for the ill and dying, and we prepare the dead for their last journey.

    Yet our wages, the money we make in trade or barter, our children, our bodies, our lives are owned, are taken by men. Our rights, our voices are denied or ignored in our cultures, our governments, our religions.

    The human race’s technological advances are shadows. Until women everywhere are given back what has been stolen — our full, complete humanity — nothing in this world will go right.

  • “AND who is dragging Romney to the right…”

    You’re kidding, right? Romney has a mansion/mausoleum built on the Right. He was born there, lives there, will die and be buried there. The only dragging goin’ on here, is the dragging through the fetid fever swamps of unchecked, unregulated Koch-inspired PAC ads we’ll be subjected to in the six months.

    “Letting 10 rapists and murderers go free will almost surely result in far more harm to society than putting one poor innocent sap in jail.”

    Mother of God. There is so much evil in that one sentence it’s a wonder the universe doesn’t implode into a black hole and wink out.

    And btw, to Jonah “sap” = someone without the money or influence to game the system, guilty or innocent. As in, us, not him. Ah, Jonah, this life or the next, karma’s gonna be a bitch.

    One thing that is certain: It was Zimmerman who was following Martin. Not the other way around.

    An unarmed 17yro kid, alone, late at night, in the rain was being followed by a guy who outweighed him by 100lbs, who chased him down, confronted him, and shot him.

    Usually, right-wingnuts insist the victim should have been packing, too. Guns will solve everything, right? Why so silent on the rights of the victim?

    SGK has screwed themselves twice. First by cutting off Planned Parenthood, SGK pissed off the people who believe that poor women deserve the same care and services as their richer sisters.

    And second, by (sorts) re-instating PP, they’ve ticked off the right by funding abortions. *gasp*

    So Susan G. Komen for the Cure isn’t getting money from anybody now.

    Good.

    It won’t matter if this goes viral, the representatives and senators in Oklahoma will never understand what the hub-bub is about. After all, she let him, didn’t she? So, she has to take the consequences now. Funny how there are never any consequences for the boys. If you say “no” you’re a bitch, if you take [...]

    “What were these “people” doing before Beck came along? Were they raving paranoiacs before or after Beck?”

    I worked with paranoid schizophrenics and tell you truly: at least paranoids have facts on their side and kind of twisted logic.

    These people… the only voices in their heads are Beck, Limbaugh and Levin.

  • I have no doubt Barber believes what he’s saying (or thinks he does). More’s the pity.

    There’s a powerful strain in American evangelical Christianity, a persecution complex. Not that they think they’re being persecuted but that they wish they were. It validates them. They see any fact-based debate as an attack, and relish it. Silence and/or laughter are better tools. They can’t stand being ignored, and have nooo sense of humor.

    My heart breaks. This woman camped next to Occupy because she thought all those other people would offer some security.

    Free Bacon, Hoft and the rest of the idjits might as well be slapping the rapist on the back and high 5ing him. This is tribalism at its xenophobic worst.

    I am trying really hard not to wish for “what goes around, comes around.”

  • “…then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard… ‘cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs…”

    Boobs. What a charmer. What woman could resist that?

    They’re breasts, Bill. If you’re trying to seduce a woman at least avoid using terms preferred by 9yr olds.

    Rome has tried to bury Vatican II because its major aim was “collegiality.” Returning power and choice back to the bishops and laity. Naturally, the Curia and Pope couldn’t allow that to happen.

    John Paul II appointed bishops as dictatorial and dogmatic as he was, and Benedict has done the same. Unless another John XXIII sneaks in, it’ll be another 50yrs before the Church — the people — has a chance of taking it back. Curse these guys, their deafness, their callousness, and their cowardice in protecting priests over children has stripped away any moral authority.

    This is nothing less than the Virginia GOP’s attempt to shove their metaphorical dick into every woman in the state.

    I’m trying real hard not to hate these people, but they aren’t helping much.
