TPM’s Eric Kleefeld offered this ‘Deep Thought’ gem yesterday:
How long will it be until white supremacists claim that the shooting at the Holocaust Museum never happened?
And, speaking of denialist wingnuts, where up is down, Right is now Left. TPM offers actual reportage (versus satire, as above) on mainstream wingnutters who are becoming more and more indistinguishable from their loony, extremist, denialists brethren just barely to their right. The “respectable” Righties are now actually trying to make the case that James von Brunn, the Obama-hating, Nazi-loving, accused gunman from this week’s Holocaust Museum assassination is a Lefty. Seriously, that’s the case they’re pleading…
About 10 minutes.
Sorry, Brad, tapped out right now. Pissed off at bonus receivers who gutted my “conservative” investments and everyone else’s. Recovery is slow.
This story is definitely more important than the 1400 people killed in the recent invasion of Gaza.
Ridiculous to proclaim they will claim it doesn’t happen – much more propaganda value in declaring it was the LEFT, ron paul supporters, and 9/11 truth movememnt that did it.
The mighty wurlitzer can “catapult” this propaganda any way that suits its purpose – denying it happened serves no purpose. In fact, it would be counter productive with no propaganda value.
The mainstream media and the criminal cabal it represents has told much more outrageous lies – like AWOL alcoholic/cocaine addict dur chimpfurher “won” 2 elections; that Iraq had WMD, was a threat to US, and was involved in 9/11; that a gang of misfits with box cutters defeated the most sophisticated air control and defense system in the world and brought down twin towers.
I could go on and on – point it this – a consolidated corporate media has proven that it is much more effectie to lie about what happens than to deny it.
Remember, they don’t need the majority of Americans to believe their lies – they just need plausible denial at election time that will allow them to justify fraudulent elections.
The meme because a fictional “highly energized base” instead of the integrity of the election process.
I would have tosay that the Federal Reserve Bank is behind all these manipulations
Right really IS Left, according to these so-called respectable right wing media guests and stars.
I have no doubt that this is a concerted effort to bad-mouth the left in any repulsive, despicable way they can.
Because it is a “collective” rather than an “individual” effort, by their own definition, they are actually lefties themselves!
Happily, I don’t buy their definition, as I have no wish to associate myself, however loosely, with any of their creepy, wormlike ilk.
In 2005, John Lewis, an FBI deputy assistant director and top official in charge of domestic terrorism said, “The No. 1 domestic terrorism threat is the eco-terrorism, animal-rights movement.”
The demonization of the left as in league with terror has been steadily gaining ground for quite some time, but only recently has it seemed to spread from the larger right wing blogs and msm figures to less party affiliated blogs more middle of the road blogs. It seems to be gaining traction: a disturbing trend.
With the economy in the toilet, there is a very real chance of a populist green style movement gaining ground, all the left really needs is a charismatic leader: thus the manufacture of the tea party movement led by neocons and guised as a populist movement.
Additionally one sees environmental activists once charged with property crimes such as vandalism and arson now being charged with terrorism and incarcerated in cmus, such as Daniel McGowan. One sees as well the increasing militarization here at home: Northcom, marine high schools in Atlanta and planned elsewhere, expansion of domestic spying, and lack of prosecution of those who have committed illegal domestic spying; and increasing militarization abroad: the escalation of the Afghanistan war, the spread into Pakistan, the giant new “embassy” planned for Islamabad, the first US soldier dead fighting in the Phillipines, where we reportedly only have an advisory military presence.
Before one knows it one will be living in a completely authoritarian police state designed to fund a circular process of waging war.
How long will it be before you can be jailed for saying it (the shooting at the Holocaust Museum)never happened?
GOS but 300 where militants …maybe
Memo to the Right Wing: Put Up or Shut Up
By: Sara Robinson Saturday June 13, 2009 4:55 pm
Dear Conservatives: Your fellow Americans demand an answer — and we want it now. Just one simple question: Are you deliberately trying to start a civil war? Just answer the question. Yes or no. Don’t insult us with elisions, evasions, dithering, qualifications, or conditional answers. We need to know what your intentions are — and we need to know NOW. People are being shot dead in the streets of America at the rate of several per month now. You may not want responsibility for this — but the whackadoodles pulling the triggers make no bones about who put them up to this. The assassins themselves are ratting you out.

YO I GOT A LIVER FOR SALE MMK.
Conservatives in power- shutting out everyone else, ridiculing “bipartisanship”, calling everyone who opposes them traitors.
Conservatives out of power- domestic terrorists.
The usual suspects are trying to convince us that there’s absolutely no evidence that James von Brunn, who will be charged with murder, was not a right-winger. Here’s what we know about him.
1.He hates the US government.
2.He hates liberals.
3.He said President Obama was “created by Jews.”
4.He believes Obama wasn’t born in the United States.
5.He holds conspiratorial views about the federal reserve.
6.He feared the takeover of the country by “black governors.”
7.He was active in the white separatist movement.
8.He is an anti-Semite.
9.He is a known associate of William Pierce, author of The Turner Diaries.
10.He is a known associate of Stan Hess, formerly of David Duke’s European rights org.
11.His birther screed was posted approvingly at Free Republic.
12.He idolized a McCarthyite and segregationist who ran for Governor of Alabama for the ultra right-wing National States’ Rights Party.
13.He calls himself a “White Christian.”
sounds like a typical lefty to me, NOT!
The killer posted frequently at Free Republic.com which is a militantly ANTI-LEFT web site.
Enough said!
Richard Poplawski, Scott Roeder, James Von Brunn right-wingers all, where will it end?
Von Brunn hates George W. Bush, Bill O’Reilly, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, Bill Kristol, the Weekly Standard, etc. And he is a 9/11 truther (liar) to boot. Face it, Brad: You blew it again. This murderer is nota lefty or a righty. He is just a nut, an equal opportunity hater.
