Isn't it always the way..."Thomas and his family are reported to be outraged and heading down to Louisiana to personally intervene."
See, authorities can taser anybody you want and rightwing douchebags will play apologists. But you taser a family member of a conservative Supreme Court Justice, and well, hey, that's a terrible injustice and abuse of power. Uh huh. Assholes.

Why just last year the Supreme Court refused to hear about abusive taser cases: "Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the case of a handcuffed Florida motorist who was tased three times because he disobeyed a deputy sheriff's command to stand up and walk to a patrol car."
I wonder, now that dipshit polcie officers have tasered a Conservative jackhole Supreme Court Justice's family member if the Court will consider hearing these terrible, terrible cases now.
Circle wagons, protect the tribe. They can taser the peons, but you can't touch the ruling class.

How facts Backfire:
http://www.boston.com/bostonglob…"Recently, a few political scientists have begun to discover a human tendency deeply discouraging to anyone with faith in the power of information. It’s this: Facts don’t necessarily have the power to change our minds. In fact, quite the opposite. In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger."
- Not political, but related.Josev

Income Gaps Between Very Rich and Everyone Else More Than Tripled In Last Three Decades, New Data Show:
http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cf…"The gaps in after-tax income between the richest 1 percent of Americans and the middle and poorest fifths of the country more than tripled between 1979 and 2007 (the period for which these data are available), according to data the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) issued last week. Taken together with prior research, the new data suggest greater income concentration at the top of the income scale than at any time since 1928."

Maybe if Democrats want more votes this election they should stop yelling at their constituents. Chicano Hitler anyone!?

Was reading some weird tea party sites and comments this afternoon. I really wonder if these people are still going to be around when Obama is no longer President.
- count on it. political movements with direction and a singular voice tend to stay. how long, who knows..zenmasterfoo
- Well I bet we disagree on their direction. Plus some states have 3 or 4 different factions.DrBombay
- Do those people actually know that they are bat shit crazy.
I think they are tripping high on acid or Special-KRamanisky2 - some people might say the same for those who voted for Obama, based on little info about him.zenmasterfoo

Nearly six in 10 voters say they lack faith in President Obama to make the right decisions for the country, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll.
- Unfortunate. I hope his numbers pick up before NovemberJosev
- About the same number that thought Reagen sucked at a comparable time in his presidency.TheBlueOne

for some reason I've bothered to listen to hannity, limbaugh and savage a bit last week and a little today...
... all of them are hung up on this 'new black panther party' shit...
... WHO GIVES A FUCK??? FFS... a couple of douchebags from the ultra-fire-left shoot off racial horseshit and these fuckers (hannity and the like) run with it like reverse racism is some sort of atomic threat in this country...
I get why the majority of the left can't even bother w/these clowns (rightwing radio)... ... most of the time I'm just looking for something live to listen to while I work... ... ...and I'm not really a sports fan and sports talk folks are bigger douche's than the political folks (even more emotional)...
... I'm so lonely w/out live radio... ... music bores me unless I'm stoned... ... *sniff
