DaTechguy: 2012 = 1980

*
The moonbat blogs and the lamestream media are having leg thrills over the results of a straw poll taken at the Nutroots Nation confab in Vegas, where what happens there is supposed to stay there. But that must be only on TV. DaTechguy says the media's ecstatic eruption over the straw poll results gave him flashbacks:

I seem to recall that back in 1980 democrats supporting Jimmy Carter were thrilled to death that Ronald Reagan was the Republican they were going to be facing. They were much more worried about this lightweight ex-governor who’s popularity was based on celebrity

Now I’m agnostic on the subject in one respect. Palin is young enough to run any time in the next 20 years, but liberals if you want to face Sarah Palin after 4 years of Jimmy Carter redux, bring it on!

As I recall the republican establishment didn’t care much for Reagan either, Rush is right; liberals will tell us who they fear the most.

Say, is that a thrill going up our cerebral cortex, or are we having flashbacks too: Welcome Back, Dad

Leftist lie after leftist lie after leftist lie...

*
Let's set the wayback machine for August 01, 2009 and visit an Alaska hate blog (don't worry, we'll go through decontamination upon our return to wash all of the nasty off):

"Do you remember all of that talk about her missing wedding ring during the three part going away picnics? Well it turns out that ring now sleeps with the fishes. Apparently in a fit of anger Sarah stripped the ring from her finger and tossed it into a lake."

That would be the ring in this photo taken this weekend:



How can you tell when a leftist blogger is lying? That's easy -- when it posts anything on its blog.

Sarah Palin: "I would love to interview Senator Brown" (Updated)

*
Leftists at Daily Kos and elsewhere were calling Gov. Palin's remarks on the Massachusetts U.S. Senate race one week out an "endorsement" of Scott Brown. They thought that any show of support for Brown by the former governor would damage his prospects for victory.  So, if Brown wins tomorrow, will they suddenly reverse course and claim that it really wasn't an endorsement? You betcha!



Update: Now this sounds more like an endorsement:

"MA Senate Race: here's hoping Mr. Brown goes to Washington...in a pick-up truck,no less!MA pls vote tomrrw & elect a hardworking independent"

Moonbat Logic at Year's End

*
The moonbat Left ends the year in a predictable fashion. Their latest meme is that Sarah Palin is "scared" of the Alaska Hate Bloggers™ whom Todd Palin justifiably excluded from his wife's Wasilla book signing. It goes something like this:

"How can Sarah Palin stand up to terrorists when she is afraid of little bloggers?"

But using that same "logic", if Democrats are so afraid of FOX News (they chickened out on the FOX News presidential primary debate, remember?), how can we expect Obama, Biden and Hillary Clinon to respond to real threats like al Qaeda?

The answer is with incompetence, as the events of Christmas Day have proven.

But we know that Sarah Palin, who fearlessly battled the corrupt Murkowski machine and three giant oil companies in Alaska isn't "afraid" of the batcrap-crazy bloggers. She probably just doesn't want them anywhere near her young children, and with good reason. The leftist loonies are just hateful enough and unhinged enough to wear one of those vile t-shirts in front of her younger children like their comrades did in Philadelphia.

Dan Riehl on banning the bums

*
It seems Jesse Griffin and others of his ilk are whining about how they have been put on the list of personae non gratae for Sarah Palin events. Dan Riehl has one possible explanation for banning the bums:

"Maybe there were going to be children present?"

Were it left to us, we would not ban them. A big group code red seems more in order. Talk about pigs in a blanket! But Track Palin is serving his country honorably, and we see no need for the young man to have a blemish on his record over the likes of such scum.

And speaking of honor, Jesse says he considers his banning to be "a badge of honor." Griffin and his fellow travellers have been constant bearers of false witness against the former governor and her family, and that's the least of their sins against Clan Palin. These hate-crazed moonbats know about as much about "honor" as Al Gore knows about the interior temperature of the earth.

A familiar metaphor

*
Robert Ringer, in an op-ed titled "Wile E. Obama vs. Road Runner Beck" uses a metaphor which we find familiar:

Remember how BHO got down in the mud with Sarah Palin almost immediately after she was announced as John McCain's running mate? It took a good week before his handlers got him to settle down and realize that he was running against McCain, not Palin.

Slow learner as he may be, to his credit, BHO finally demonstrated the self-discipline to ignore the dynamic and magnetic governor of Alaska and refocus on his hapless presidential opponent, John McCain.

Nevertheless, his childish bickering with a beautiful, charismatic woman whose political experience dwarfed the darling of community organizers reminded me of Wile E. Coyote and his eternal nemesis, Road Runner. And after eight months in office, it's clear that BHO is still susceptible to falling into the Palin Trap – not necessarily with Sarah Palin, but with anyone who annoys him.

Nary a day goes by when he does not lash out at his enemies in his trademark crybaby style. And when it results in a drop in his poll numbers, you can almost hear the words "Beep! Beep!" in the air. Now, BHO is caught in the Palin Trap once again, fighting a war he cannot win – a war with Fox News, the most influential media outlet on the planet.

[...]

Would BHO survive a Chris Wallace or Bill O'Reilly interview? It depends upon how intent they would be on insisting that he answer their questions in a no-spin manner. But, either way, it would not spare BHO from the biggest Palin Trap of all – the progressives' worst nightmare – an ex-alcoholic, ex-drug addict, ex-financial failure, ex-rodeo clown and current Road Runner Supreme, Glenn Beck.

Yes, we've been there, only with Sarah Palin as the roadrunner and the ACRID bloggers all as Wyle E. Coyote clones, in a post from early in August. Like all of Wyle E's stunts, the one the ACRID bloggers pulled which resulted in Sarah Palin resigning from her position as governor of Alaska boomeranged on the critters, as she is on a heck of a winning streak. Palin delivered a well-received (and well-paying) foreign policy address in Asia, co-wrote a book and is now enjoying the satisfaction of having watched as in less than 48 hours, it raced to the top of the bestseller charts. The initial run of 1.5 million copies hasn't even gone to the printers yet!

The metaphor works well for a variety of scenarios, but there's one constant -- the scheming Leftists always seem to fit the crash-and-burn Wyle E. Coyote profile.

We know these people are moonbats, but this takes the cake!

*
You're not gonna believe the latest moonbat madness from the circle of jerks up in Alaska who have nothing better to do with their wretched lives than smear-blog against Sarah Palin. BTW, we came up with their acronym -- ACRID, for Alaskan Creeps Regurgitating Internet Delusions.

Before we tell you what has their little moonbat wings all aflutter, we have to prepare you. Please fully extinguish any cigars or cigarettes. If you are enjoying your morning coffee or some other beverage, please finish it off and place the container out of reach. Please return your chair to its upright position and cover your keyboard with a towel or some other protective shield. Blow your nose. Ready for it? K, here we go...

According to Alaska Report, the reason Sarah Palin has not been seen in public lately is -- get this -- she had plastic surgery "on her crow's feet." That, Zany Zaki concludes, is why she was last seen wearing sunglasses. Like all of ACRID's clownish conspiracy theories, this is being regurgitated on each of the circle of jerks' websites.

Cosmetic surgery? Does this (photo was taken just six weeks ago) look like a woman who needs cosmetic surgery?



We neither. We were somewhat at a loss to find an explanation for how this latest of their wacky conspiracy theories got started, but then it hit us. They're projecting again! LOL, what are these "useful idiots" smoking? Do they get their pot, like they get their delusional conspiracies, from "Smokin" Andrew Sullivan?

Yo, moonbats, here's a crash course for you. Our women don't need no steenking plastic surgery:



If you're looking for women who are cosmetically challenged, we suggest you look a little closer to home:



That's all for today boys and girls. Tomorrow's lesson is when you disagree with someone on a specific political issue (like health care, for example), it's not racism. Since you obviously haven't been doing your homework, there will be a quiz.

More on AP's big lie about cost of Palin resignation

*
As uppy explained in a post we linked to here, the AP story by biased reporter Rachel D'Oro is just a smear job:

"When was Sarah stepping down and Governor Parnell sworn in? At the Governor's picnic in Fairbanks. A Governors Picnic is held every year and costs about the same every year, as the State of Alaska provides food and has to pay for the cost of set up on the picnic and such."

Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton made the same point, but her comment wasn't part of the original AP release. It was added later to an updated version of the original story. Meg says D'Oro's hit piece is "incredibly misleading" and explained that the resignation ceremony simply was incorporated into the previously scheduled governor’s picnic and organized by the lieutenant governor’s office.

Our colleagues see right through the lie AP sent down its wires and are sounding off...

Johnny at Alamo City Pundit:

"And they wonder why Mainstream Media are dying a prolonged, slow, tortuous death. Personally, it can’t happen fast enough for the AP for me."

Vicki at Frugal Café:

"So, Palin potentially saved the state millions by selflessly stepping down, and this Alaskan [reporter] is whining about buying new letterhead? Go figure."

Craig at the BUFFALOg:

"So, in an age where trillion-dollar deficits are considered normal, we're supposed to be outraged because Sarah's resignation cost Alaska the price of a Prius?"

Rev. Wayne at Rev. Wayne's Place:

"Why is it that seemingly every time a story comes out about Governor Palin, the author of the story is usually a woman? Are these women being used as liberal hand puppets because it is better if a woman attacks Governor Palin? Or is it because there is a rabid jealousy among the liberal elite women in this country over Governor Palin who can do anything?"

JavaHIGH at AR15.COM:

"Why is this on the front page of Yahoo? When has the financial cost of a politician's resignation ever made the news?"

Jerry Fuhrman at From On High:

"Oh, the humanity."

Rose at Mahoney's Musings:

"Can we give the Sarah Palin nitpicking a rest?"

catfish at Texican Tattler:

"Where's the story on how much it cost Illinois and the US Senate for Barrack Obama to resign? How 'bout the story on how much it cost Delaware and the US Senate for Joe Biden to resign? Or even a story on how much it cost New York and the US Senate for Hillary Clinton to resign?"

Vadm Collingwood at C4P:

"Two million wasted on phony ethics charges with no end in sight versus forty thousand in transition costs?"

Well, that's the hypocrisy of AP Rachel and her nutroots blogging buddies up in Alaska. As we've always said, hypocrisy is a prerequisite for being a leftist, liberal, progressive or whatever these lying moonbats are calling themselves these days.

Note to General Shannyn Moore et al: It's Hard for Palin to Write a Book When She is Having a Nervous Breakdown

*
Just in case you haven't heard, Sarah Palin is writing a book.

Contrary to what the left nut roots want to throw out there via innuendo and rumor via the Star/Globe/Shannyn Moore network.

Me thinks a nice place along the East Coast near ghost writers is the proper location.

Mrs. Devon, keep playing the mooosey pictures of Who's Bob Poe over and over again, they make nice pictures for campaign literature for a 2010 governor candidate.

How about a nice Howard Dean scream?



A picture of Shannyn Moore:



Caption this: Shannyn Moore's look when she finds out that her saving Private Griffin moment comes back to haunt (CAN YOU SAY BIRTHERS X 2) their group during the 2010 governor's race in Alaska.

Saving Private Griffin: General Shannyn Moore offers Words of Encourgement

*
Looks like Private Griffin is having a bad hair day...

There is a lot happening behind the scenes. Some of which I do know, and much I do not know. But before I go forward with another bombshell I am going to make damn sure backup is only a day or so away.

Send in the Calvary.....

I will leave you with the wise words of my friend Shannyn Moore, who leaned over to me in the middle of my very bad week and said, "If you were not over the target, you would not be receiving so much flak".

Note to Private Griffin: if you can't stand the flak, stay out of the battle.

And some words of advice for General Shannyn Moore, when you are over the target, smart bombs work much better.

The idiot bombs your group have been dropping has led to your side losing the "ratings war."

Smears For Fears

From The Layman's Corner a blog post on how the campaign to smear Sarah Palin and her family works:

1. Democrats crank out the anti-Palin smears.
2. These smears are then amplified by the Maimstream Media.
3. A horde of nutroots leftist bloggers makes sure the smears never die even long after they have been debunked.

Excerpts:

I have never seen so much fear of one person as I have with the media and democrat politicians and their fear of this woman; any time this woman thinks about making a statement, either on her Facebook page or on the air, the MSM jumps on it like a cat does a mouse.

Then MSNBC, CNN, NBC and the rest of their ilk milks it...

[...]

And the media doesn’t just smear her. They seem to have a penchant for going after her family.

Let’s peer into the past and recall some of the “unbiased” reportage of her by the mainstream media.

Remember Lyda Green? She complained that nobody had asked her about Sarah when she was vetted. She was also the same person that tried to create a scheduling conflict so Sarah would miss her son’s graduation.

What about the defamatory claim by that ragtag group of people at the Huffington Post, who made the wild claim that Trig’s mother is Bristol?

And what about the smear campaign from that trustworthy National Enquirer about Track Palin?

Then there was the accusation that she was a secessionist.

Rachel Maddow smeared Sarah by claiming she is anti Semitic.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Alinsky rules.

Paging Hollis French and Bob Poe: Your Entourage has Concerns About Palin's Nervous Breakdown

*
As you all know, Jesse Griffin, outed the Palins on their never-ending non-divorce.

Now he has another scoop, Palin is having a nervous breakdown.

If having a nervous breakdown is writing compelling arguments (with footnotes) on Facebook and knocking down Obamacare like she did, where can I get one of those nervous breakdowns?

That sneaky source continues to send out compelling evidence that is continually picked up by the nut roots on the left.

How do I know? Here's Jesse....

"Usually I am not a fan of the celebrity gossip either, but in Palin's case I feel it is important to keep tabs on what is happening because she still has the ability to energize a very nutty wing of the conservative party."

"And by the way they are the target audience for these tabloids. (I mean look, it outs Oprah as a lesbian and talks about NASCAR. How is that not Sarah Palin's demographic?)"

Does this guy ever stop and think about what he says? It's evident who the Globe targets. Jesse tells us (as Editors at 'The Globe' call out "direct hit").

I think Jesse has his signals crossed up when you consider his followers can read 'The Globe' and like it...

Anonymous said...

She finally made it into a periodical that she can read.

I do like the Globe better than that FaceBook vomit.
7:37 P.M.

All I have to say is this will make great campaign material for French and Who's Bob Poe?

Bad news for Bloggers Hatin' Palin For Satan

*
News from Politico that should stir up Palin-hatin' hornets from Homer to Houston:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has reported receiving more than a dozen gifts last year, including a gun case, a glass elephant and a statue of the Virgin Mary.

In a filing Monday with the Alaska Public Offices Commission by her attorney, Thomas V. Van Flein, Palin listed 15 gifts worth more than $250. Under state law, the former Republican governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate is not required to disclose the many gifts that she received — often at political events — that are appraised at less than $250.

[...]

Other gifts included a goatskin-bound Bible, an embroidered cross-stitched blanket, a hand-painted plate featuring Palin, two handmade Army flags and assorted jewelry.

[...]

The filing does not list any gifts that she or her husband, Todd, might have received from his snow machine sponsorship with Arctic Cat because of a confidentiality clause in his contract with the company.

[...]

But the attorney said the nature of the contract is such that the company only pays sponsorship fees for races, outfits the team with "Team Arctic Wear" and gives Todd Palin and his teammates a 50 percent discount on merchandise.

"Gov. Palin has no direct contact or communication with Arctic Cat," Van Flein said. "She has not read, and under the terms of the contract is not entitled to read, the specific sponsorship provisions, but she is generally aware that Todd Palin is entitled to the discounts and fee as part of being a sponsored team."

But wait -- Arctic Cat is such an important part of the military-insudstrial complex, there must be something nefarious there. Have no fear, Bloggers Hatin' Palin For Satan will surely get to the bottom of this. And even when they don't, they will make something up.

Meanwhile, House Speaker San Fran Nan, who voted against prohibiting gifts from lobbyists, bought off agribusiness with gifts to advance a climate bill. Nothing to see here folks... move along.

Then there's Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.

But that's just chump change compared to the trillions of dollars Arctic Cat must have funneled to Sarah Palin through her husband's snow machine racing activities. I tells ya, "that woman" is an ethical outrage! [/sarc]

KC Star Caught Pushing Griffin's "Splitsville" Whopper

*
McClatchy Watch catches The Kansas City Star promoting Jesse Griffin's discredited Big Lies:

"Reporter Lisa Gutierrez, who authored this piece, writes for 'Star Gazing' which is some kind of celebrity gossip section in the Star. But Gutierrez is a journalist (award-winning?!) and has a professional obligation to not to print smears like this."

This wouldn't be the first time that a McClatchy newspaper helped to elevate a made-up smear of Sarah Palin from the nutroots left to the msm:

ADN editor Pat Dougherty published an email exchange between him and the governor on his blog after the "There you go again" release was issued. In the exchange, he explains “I finally decided, after watching this go on unabated for months, to let a reporter try to do a story about the ‘conspiracy theory that would not die’ and, possibly, report the facts of Trig's birth once and for all.” Dougherty calls the rumor "nutty nonsense," and says that he wanted his reporter, Lisa Demer, to "report the facts of Trig's birth thoroughly enough to kill the nonsense once and for all."

"That’s a disingenuous response," Palin tells the Press. "I've said from day one, no, you guys are off-base in chasing this lie. Of course Trig's my son. My doctor's said the same thing. My medical summary that was released was the same information. We stated the truth, and Pat knows that."

McClatchy newspapers smell of stink even before the fish are wrapped.

Quote of the Day (August 5, 2009)

*
Dan Riehl, on the "splitsville" lies:

"While not being in any way formally connected to the Palin camp, I have sources -- and ones I trust -- that have access to them... I don't go out and defend things that turn out to be false. Based on my contacts -- and I have two separate ones -- everything I've been able to hear, directly, on or off the record, says there's no truth to this."

With these hate bloggers, it's always "one lie after another" -- as Dan said he founed in his investigation. Their entire attack on the Palin family is built on the shifting sands of false witness. But what do atheists care about the Ten Commandments. That's just more superstition for the Christianists and the Jooooos, right?

Exclusive! Jesse and School District are Splitsville!

*
Earlier this week one of our best sources claimed to have explosive new information for us.

It took all week for us to finally get together, but last night we finally sat down for an amazing conversation. And what we heard made our jaws drop.

According to our source his employer is finished with Jesse and has decided to end their relationship.

He is asking for $10, $20 and $50 contributions to his tip jar (I wonder whose donations paid for that?), and may be considering moving himself and the boy as far away from Alaska as he can get.

Do you remember all of that talk about Palin's lawyer presenting Jesse with papers in front of a classroom of supposedly traumatized children? Well it turns out that lie now sleeps with the fishes. Apparently in a fit of hubris Jesse let his readers believe that he was still teaching until finally admitting today that he's no longer employed by the school district. One of our sources says the school district stripped the employee ID from his wallet and tossed it into a lake. (No we did not think to ask WHICH lake so we cannot confirm if it is Lake Lucille, on which Sarah Palin's house is located and where our source says Andree McLeod has been seen stalking her), or some other lake. We apologize for not getting clarification, but we were a little drunk last night and so was our source.

So it appears that the reason Jesse has been so quiet about the state of his employment, and has given his replying fingers more rest, is NOT because of any master plan, or carefully orchestrated new direction, but simply the result of the emotional stress that results from having the tables turned on him.

We would assume that this stress is also the reason that Jesse has suffered such a dramatic drop in income and would also explain the bulk loss that the guys down at the gym were overheard talking about by one of our other sources.

Okay so that is the biggest news that we have uncovered this week. But that is not all.

We also learned that there were some blog posts back in December of 2006, years before the Obama team officially tapped the hate bloggers, where Jesse Griffin posted three times about teachers having sex with school kids. This news will be hitting the local papers in A-town next week. Stay tuned.

And while we're on the topic of kids we will also let you know that he did a very interesting 2006 post in which he linked to a website advertising "The ultimate sex underwear" with a hyperlink which reads "I think it's clear that I need one of these for Christmas." The body of that post reads, "My boys deserve only the best." We did not get too many of the juicy details, because it was already waaay TMI, even for Jeanne Devon, we are told.

Oh and that rumor about Celtic Diva being pregnant? She is not. Nor is Jesse the father. But our source said that CD "had a cat" so where did it come from? As of today, as of this minute, and after over a month of searching we cannot tell you. We simply do not know for certain. We do know however where he did not come from. He did not issue forth from Celtic Diva. He may have been conceived inside her house (The jury is still out on that one), but he was not conceived in her uterus. On that one fact we have absolutely no doubt. Perhaps it was Mudflatulence's cat. We're not sure.

But the rumor of Jesse shopping around for a new gig IS true. And according to our source NO prospective employer wants to touch him with a ten-foot pole, so to speak. We still cannot imagine Jesse Griffin sitting down for a job interview without the interviewer's head exploding but apparently there are HR executives who have not heard about his "secret" life.

Now our final bit of information is about Dennis Zaki.

As some of you may know Dennis' status with CNN was moved from "freelancer" to "Dennis who?" August 19. The reason for this is that until just now he hadn't shot the last remaining toe off of his feet.

Now nothing written above should be considered a rumor. Our sources are very good and we trust that the information is accurate and will be confirmed by other news sources in the weeks to come.

As for the baby goat story we DID hear some new information about that last night as well. However what we learned has still not been confirmed by an eyewitness so we do not feel comfortable putting it out on the internet. But our sources are still working on it, and the information is becoming more accessible. Oh, wait. That was supposed to read "babygate" not "baby goat" - just kidding, ha ha.

As before remember that comments which contain guesses as to the identity of our sources, or which contain any talk of incest, rape, homosexuality, bestiality, cannibalism, peak oil, man-made global warmingl or abduction by space aliens will be rejected. Beyond that we encourage you talk about this new information and make fun of it what you will.

Disclaimer: Okay, so it's not an exclusive. This entire post is just satire. It was all just made up. Of course, so was Gryphen's entire "Splitsville" hoax. The difference is that we admit that our story is fiction. Gryphen insists that his is not. But if you accept him at his word, which is what you have to do since he doesn't even offer a shred of edidence to support his smears, then you're more gullible than his commenters are.

Seriously, We just had some fun in the creepy playground that is The Gryph's own words. The guys who have been doing the real work on this story have the latest here and here.

Update: Clifton B has an excellent exit question:

Phylth: More troubling revelations about Gryphen

*
Warning: The language used at some of the locations redirected to by the links in this post is not family-friendly. It is, in fact, Phylthy. Both reader and parental discretion is advised.

Blogger Dan Riehl has uncovered even more troubling details in the strange story of kindergarten teacher and hate blogger Jesse Griffin, aka Gryphen. It turns out that some of his sexually explicit rantings on the web were easily accessible by young people through Gryphen's MySpace page. Though the language and the "alternative" adult situations in Griffin's comments will be revolting to some, concerned parents need to know what some who teach in the classroom are promoting on the internet. When they are using the computer, where do the hyperlinks your kids are clicking on lead to? You need to know.

Gryphen was evidently serious when he named his blog "Immoral Minority." And we were not joking when we said that we wouldn't want our children in the same classroom with this piece of Phylth.

Update: RS McCain's companion post is here. These guys have done some some outstanding work on this story.
