Re: Nice Planet 2012

What do you think that the majority of people want to read more about: 1.) a celebrity calling the president a muslim or 2.) someone none of them have ever heard of comparing Ryan's actions to the actions of someone else that most of them have no recall of?

I suspect that if some idiot celebrity were to say that Romney and Ryan were acting just like Hitler and Himmler it would also be top news. I bet that 90+% of Americans can recognize Hitler as a German dictator and leader of the Nazi, but less than 10% have any idea who Joesph Goebbels is.

Rationalize much? The guy who referred to Ryan as a Nazi, or whatever, is chairman of the California delegation. Admittedly not a household name. But not an inconsequential person by any means. And the great brains at the MSM (at least some of them) should have heard of him. And should have been "appalled" in much the same way they would have been if the chairman of the Texas GOP delegation called His Wonderfulness a Muslim or Communist or something. Tempest in a teapot? Check. But it is worth remembering the double standard here? Check. Not that it matters, but I think you're also vastly underrating P.J.G.'s name recognition here.

As to "jr" he's a country singer, playing to his base. Who cares? Could it be he said something outrageous just to get a headline? I don't know or care. But his career lately hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire. Meanwhile, Gov. Perdue was on national TV, talkng about "coathangers." Is that even a blip on your radar screen?

It's a political year and all sorts of people are going to say all sorts of things. Like the Democrat assembly candidate in NY who expects us to believe his flyer with the word "negrohood" is a typo for "neighborhood." If you believe that I've got some Florida swamp land you can have at a great price. Again, it's hard to imagine the fuss an identical flyer from a Republican candidate would have caused. "Tingles" would have had a conniption. And you know it.

It should be number 2, but this is America, and nothing is more important to the masses than a celebrity's "expert" opinion (They're rich, they must be smart!!!), so it's number 1.

Nincompoopery on a very high level. What the hey, give him the surgery and a 5 gallon jug of KY and watch the fun.

AIUI, he stays on the men's side. At least until the ACLU files suit. Wonder what his victim's family thinks.
 
Re: Nice Planet 2012

I really dislike hyperbole when used to describe a person. I don't think Ryan would 6 million people to die a la Adolph much in the same ilk that people call Obama an Islamic terrorist. I'm not a Ryan fan, but that speaker is way off base. People blow things up WAY too much.

You've got to allow for the season. Presidential elections tend to unhinge some people. Notice the guy issued a non apology apology. "I'm sorry if Ryan took offense," instead of "I'm sorry for what I said, it was wrong."

Unless you're old enough, you won't recall the stuff said about Goldwater in '64. Allen Ginsberg's "Fact" magazine published a "survey" of shrinks (none of whom had ever been in the same room with Barry) that he was a "latent homosexual." Goldwater sued, and even Time offered its support. Mrs. Goldwater had to testify, answering questions like: "Is he an ardent lover?" This is the worst of it. You also had a prominent network correspondent on the top network suggesting Goldwater was going to link up with Nazis on a trip to Germany. And in those days there was nothing to balance the MSM, they had total domination.

If I recall, Goebbels had 2 (balls), but very small. Himmler was very simmler.

Edit: I think I remembered that wrong. It was Goring who had two but very small. Goebbels had no balls at all. I apologize for my poor memory of history.

A little story here. I produce a sports talk show on the weekends in my hometown of Watertown. I'm in a pick league where the bottom guy has to buy steak dinner for the whole crew. I was rooting for the Cowboys on a Monday night game last week and I made a Facebook post cracking wise about rooting for the Cowboys was like rooting for the Fuhrer. One of my friends was upset and at first I said no big deal, but he took the time to message me and told me one of his grandparents relatives was in the Holocaust. I felt like a complete jerk for a while. That's why I hate for anyone to be compared to the Third Reich or Communism. They don't know jack about it.

Goebbels and his wife killed their 5(?) kids then committed suicide after Adolph and Eva did their thing. So I think at one time or another Joe had a set.

The in-laws for the Nebraska gubernatorial candidate I worked for were survivors. It's pretty chilling to actually meet people who have the tattoos.

However, flip that coin over and you've got Mel Brooks and "The Producers."

That's why I leave the mocking to the pros.

He's already living in the prison as a woman. I'm pretty sure she's already had a whole lot of fun already from the guys.

Ugh... only the most extreme of those interested in "trans" equality would consider that surgery to be anything but an elective procedure on par with a nose job.
