Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Cynthia Dunbar, a Republican member of Texas' State Board of Education, stands behind an online column she wrote Nov. 2 stating that Barack Obama would plot with terrorists to attack the U.S. "I perceive it will be a planned effort by those with whom Obama truly sympathizes to take down the America that is threat to tyranny," Dunbar wrote.

Was it co signed by McAnkles?

Why don't we just give the whole state and all the loonies in it to Mexico? Or maybe Cuba, just ban these people from America.

Wonder what next week will bring.

Wow. Just wow. Apparently these people aren't getting that the majority of this country said "no" to this type of fear and hate mongering. I say keep it up. Keep screaming it at the top of your lungs and you'll keep driving more and more people away.

I don't beleive that I have ever met anyone from Texas that I would let in my home..... Knot heads......

How about "what's the point of bringing her up in this thread, aside from the fact that she and this 'Texas official' share the same first name?"

It's one thing to imply that he'd operate foreign policy that may help terrorists, but another thing entirely to say that she believes that he'd actively work with them.

That mierda is just ridiculous.

It was mainly for Proud Liberal.
People on both sides of the aisle say crazy shit. I wouldn't pretend Cynthia McKinney's words, Dennis Kucinich's UFO sightings, or that Jersey Dem with the bladder control issue represent Democrats as a whole.

Obama's fundraising may not be audited. His real birth records may remain a mystery. Do not expect forthcoming answers.

As a Texan, I am truly ashamed to be in any way associated with this idiot. She could have been in any part of Jesusland -- just wish it wasn't this great state.

She's obviously fallen off one too many mechanical bulls. She and Michelle Bachmann are desperately in need of a girl's night out. That might not be the only thing they are desperately in need of though.

Fair enough.

And I'm right with you there regarding New Jersey politicians. If my respect for those representing the state could be measured numerically, I think Corzine's would be somewhere in the vicinity of negative infinity. Lautenberg and Menendez aren't much better off, and I'm not a huge fan of the only congressman (Rush Holt) that I know of either.

I've actually met Corzine when I was in college. He didn't exactly impress me.

No need. Just give Dumbo a couple of years and you won't be able to tell difference between Mexico, Cuba, and the US. Of course, if the Republicans don't retake Congress, by the end of his first term, being given to Mexico may be a move up.

No doubt about it. But when do you get that this type of rhetoric drives people toward center - on both sides? I'm seeing a bell curve where the standard deviations keeps getting wider and wider, while the population at the outlier ends gets smaller and smaller.

So that's why I say keep screaming it. Perhaps the curve will straighten back up.

?

Sorry, sometimes my math degree shows up and I can't draw pictures here.

She is a democrat nut job. I guess you think she's mainstream.

MSGT and SNIPER

I know MSGT is military. How about you, Sniper? Ever served?

I ask because if you'll go to the end of the National Veterans Day thread (on the Front Page here) you'll see we made a list of all the DR posters who've served in the military. Updated list should be the last post on there.

Please add your name and branch of service in a post and we'll add you to the list. Thanks!


For 2008 and convenience she is. When she was in Congress she was a Democrat.

You have captured it, McKinney is a member for connivence.

Dunbar is a partisan nutbag.

(biggest sad clown face yet)

ATTENTION GOP SHOPPERS!

WalMart and Johnson & Johnson have come out with a revolutionairy post-election affordable Preperation H to be applied to the forehead. No more running out to the backyard with the garden hose in the middle of the night to sooth your burning GOP no-no holes.

Simply apply to the forehead and wait for that soothing sound in your brain, the one where all the people who don't see the world your way drop dead.

Side Effects: Random moments of unconsciousness resulting in tolerance. Loss of unseen paranoia. Loss of irresponsible accusations and backing of fascist right wing agendas.

I've been saying for years that if you put a traitor in the oval office - and that traitor wanted stay in office and avoid execution for treason - that traitor would probably not be as aggressive as Bush when it comes to persuing policies that harm Americans. They wouldn't think they could get away with assfucking the American public so blatantly.

So even if Dunbar weren't total partisan dingbat and what she was saying was true, I still wouldn't necessarily assume Obama would be any worse than what we have now.

yeah well lets look at news from this morning from worldnews daily or is it worldnet daily from a reporter named aaron klein


obama aides have been meeting with hamas in the gaza strip, not just lately but for months and as late as last week after the election and have sent a congratulatory letter to barry,

does this info come from klien....sure and he talks to achmed yuseff............a HAMA REPRESENTATIVE and according to klein after the denial from obama surragates talked to yuseff..........THIS MORNING AND HE restated that they have been meeting for some time

and IF this is true.....the lying sumbitch should be recalled.,,,,,,,,,,but I am sure you here will also deny it just like all of you did when assoiciations with ayers and acorn and rezko and others were brought up

lets see if this story has legs or is buried BY THE OBAMA MEDIA

and for you texas bashers..........

reports are out that for this reporting period there were 250,000 new jobs created in texas during this stressfull time and 55,000 alone in houston

so let me put this as delicately and as succinctly as I can


FUCK YOU

lets see if this story has legs or is buried BY THE OBAMA MEDIA

so why dont we just see if its reported anywhere other than talk radio which is in danger of being silenced by the "progressive" party which has to be considered for the liberal hypocrisy historical moment HALL OF SHAME..........

if concerns about obama grossly overstepping his authority and talking to terrorist bent on the elimination of israel and millions of people and who sends rockets to kill innocent people EVERY SINGLE DAY

then WA WA WA WAAAA, sumbitch, cause its important

BLT -- question, why would Obama WANT to hurt the nation in which his daughter's live and will prosper? Please, all you right wing nut jobs, stop breathing in the air of the bad b-movie you seem to live in. You're mutating into some sort of human/mollusk hybrid and its very sad to watch.

#5 | Posted by Litho_Doctor

You're a moron.

my comment is more about him overstepping his place and then lying about it......or at least the surragate lying about it.........
and it might not hurt us but it could signal an end to israel because it would also point out how he MIGHT have lied right to the faces of the israeli group...aipac........is it????

again...........another probably of lies from the messiah.............

This is no more ludicrous than so many of the conspiracy theory attacks on Bush. Yes it's ridiculous but I assure you that I have heard just as loonie stuff coming from the left over the last 8 years.

Holy crap!! That's a lot of new WalMarts that have opened.

ah good one

but remember that walmart showed a hefty profit along with mcdonalds showing more than 8 % and sure that means that a lot of people are getting the dollar menu there instead of a nicer meal but it also has to do with

NO UNIONS............and also remember that texas is a rigth to work state..........all reasons you could also pin on the big three automakers wanting another handout.

HEY MONSTMAN


did you have robt byrd email you that little 'ditty'.........

you know him hes' that liberal hero who was in the kkk.

Well Slander is still something you can charge people with. I suggest obama actually file charges against this un-american cunt

Boy-bushblowertoo-you have worse addiction to conspiracy theories than Buffalo Bob.
Quoting World Nut Flailing as a NEWS source???
That's past stupid. They pull more outright bs outta their asses than you do.

and your discription of her should be included in order to make everyone aware of the mentality of YOUR side............


so what will obama do about the AP report that uranium traces were found at the bombing site where ISRAEL protected the world from a nuclear syria
one report stated that it was a nearly completed reactor..

ISREAL...........keep those planes fueled and loaded and aimed for iran because obama would never do anything like that to stop it

not and STILL be able to meet with hamas and other trrorists groups

I understand why you attack the source........we do the same thing when WE dont want to hear the truth about something....IF THATS the truth
and so what if IM wrong...........the left here will just repeat some of thier attacks and I will go on knowing that I hit a nerve

BUT WHAT IF IM right and they are too.......

what then???? will YOU call obama a liar because they are denying it

and this reporter SIAD That he talked to this yuseff person JUST THIS MORNING and told him that barry is denying it and yuseff is overjoyed to tell him that there are not being truthfull about it

so again..WHAT IF THEY ARE RIGHT.......what are the implicatons of that


Let me get the straight BL2 they let you into a school and near students?

Why is that idiot BLT blathering about Israel is support of "Obama trying to take down the US"? Does this tard this Israel is a state?

bullshit zap............let frank answer my "query" before you come back with the 7th grade taunts?

or maybe you can answer the question

if IM wrong, you can just make a silly little comment
BUT if IM right........what if any ramifications are there of these secret meetings with terrorists and people who try and kill people in israel EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK WIth rockets

"obama aides have been meeting with hamas in the gaza strip, not just lately but for months and as late as last week after the election and have sent a congratulatory letter to barry"

BL2, how is this different than when Reagan talked to Iranians behind carter's back and actually had hostages HELDS longer in captivity so he could gain election clout. But Ronnie ray-gun was the king of the dingbat party....

"NO UNIONS............and also remember that texas is a rigth to work state..........all reasons you could also pin on the big three automakers wanting another handout."

Yeah BLT, I'll remember that when I notice that tax dollars are being spent to pay for all the ER visits or for Medicaid for low paid Walmart employees. We subsidize Walmart every single day by paying for the health care of its employees.
And what about the food stamps used to feed them???
What about the schools their children attend while Mom and Dad pay little or no income tax because their pay is so low???

and you know FRIEDMAN made a good point the other day on a related issue

IF obama has to make some sort of military move..

just how will people in the streets of whatever country that are orchestrated

how will it sound when they say

" death to barak hussin obama" and will they?????


he then goes on to talk about how the other coutries such as russia and china and middle east countries who "worship the messiah"....my words not his...........
isnt this a perfect time for all of them to join us and keep iran from getting a nuke...

OR IS that REALLY a concern for those coutries

it was one of my more interesting reads of freidman

This dumb hole lives pretty close to me. She is another shining example of why seperation of church and state is SO IMPORTANT!! Ignorance is bliss in Texas, where the churches dwarfs the schools. No wonder they don't know shit here in Texas. Fortunately for me I wasn't edubacated here!!

mister.........THIS is a very good point and thank you for bringing it up

so when this happened..........do you remember all of the ATTACKS And vilfiing comments about reagan for doing this and will there be the same reaction here IF its proven true...I really doubt it

and ONE REAL Difference of course is that hamas is not holding AMERICANS CAPTIVE because of a pussy being in the white house named carter. and there, in my mind is a REAL IMPORTANT difference


bullshit zap............let frank answer my "query" before you come back with the 7th grade taunts?

When you start writing a 7th grade level.

well LM..........you can get the fuck out anytime you want so have at it.

UNLESS OF course you are a modern day carpet bagger who is here to make money because its a right to work state and tax base is more condusive to business.............( are you reading this danni)

DANNI


valid points.......but it doesnt change the fact that the THREE auto makers are now asking FOR YOU AND ME TO BAIL THEM OUT when other automakers are MORE successfull and cost less

This woman and many like her have create a long list of total bull shit claims that they themselves have bought in to. Looking at her picture is scary enough, to listen to her garbage is way over the top.

This woman is in a position that can influence our impressionable young. Just how much of her delusional non-sense is available for these school age children?

There are already enough loons(also nice folks) in Texas to start their own version of Hell. Find a nice uninhabited corner of this huge state and let those with the wild eyes and drum beating craziness go off without hurting anyone. We could call it a "Sate of Confusion". Most wouldn't even notice the change.

"and ONE REAL Difference of course is that hamas is not holding AMERICANS CAPTIVE because of a pussy being in the white house named carter."

You really are an asshole.

Carter tried to rescue the hostages, was it his fault the helicopters crashed???

At least he didn't reward Iran for its act of aggression as Reagan did. I think if you want to define "pussy" you need to review "286 Marines killed when barracks bombed and REagan did.....NOTHING!"

danni..........you might have gotten mixed up on which thread you were posting that on.....so here is what I wrote to you from the other thread


here is a great post from a poster to the houston chronicle yesterday


he said that he wanted to wait on the bailout so that he could start a company and
produce lower quality product
gets less milage than foreign imports
a design noone wants
and he and investors overextend themselves
and then become important enough to be indepensible


and THEN HE can get his bailout money too........


What Friedman actually said:

"If you're a hard-liner in Tehran, a U.S. president who wants to talk to you presents more of a quandary than a U.S. president who wants to confront you," remarked Karim Sadjadpour, an Iran expert at the Carnegie Endowment. "How are you going to implore crowds to chant Death to Barack Hussein Obama'? That sounds more like the chant of the oppressor, not the victim. Obama just doesn't fit the radical Islamist narrative of a racist, blood-thirsty America, which is bent on oppressing Muslims worldwide. There's a cognitive dissonance. It's like Hollywood casting Sidney Poitier to play Charles Manson. It just doesn't fit."

Danni How can you say that, why just TWO DAYS LATER he invaded Grenada!

"and THEN HE can get his bailout money too........"

When he employs up to 5 million people then we might consider it. Problem is....not bailing out the auto makers may push us into a depression.

I understand that you are upset that I have agreed with you on more than one occasion this morning and you also realize that I am right about the difference between reagan doing that and obama meeting with hamas..>IF its true

there are many more stories that I have run here FIRST before they got out from mainstream media....which seems to be the only source for many of you.........that were PROVEN TRUE later.......

so again......IF its true and EVEN IF REAGAN DID DO the same thing....

afraid of risking OBAMATOPIA perhaps


with reagan there were over 200 american citizens in a fuckin cell in a country that used to be an ally

Your not very intelligent are you? What qualifies you an expert on Texas, do you live here?

I want links that back up your claims that Texas is THAT bad.

The lady in question was a green party member who used to be a Democrat. Just be glad you lost her from your party. Personally, she is an idiot and I'd probably remind her that she should probably be seen and not heard.

#61 | Posted by bushlovertwo

I'm against bailing them out. The reason the automakers are hurting are both the UAW and the Democrat controlled state of Michigan bilked them out of a lot of money. Why don't they bail out the big 3?

Lonnie

There is no way the people of Texas can be as ignorant and narrow minded as the popular stereotype portrays it. But why must elected officials like Ms. Dunbar go to such extremes to reinforce that stereotype?

Because she switched from the Democrat party to the Green party. Your issues are with the green party not Texas.

Lonnie

Why don't we just give the whole state and all the loonies in it to Mexico?

For starters, it has one of the healthiest econocmies in the country now.

Secondly, if you want to give a state to Mexico because of a loony person, you'd have to give all 50 states to Mexico.

But I do admit, though I'm not for it, Texas would fare much better as the republic she was before selling out to the US in the 19th century.

Your issues are with the green party not Texas.

But rote Texas bashing is one of the DR's favorite past times, Lonnie. Don't rob the mindless of their simple pleasure by pointing out facts.

LMFAO Goatman. I think it boils down to jealousy. These people want to wear jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat. I'd probably laugh if anyone dissing Texas moves here because we actually have jobs.

Lonnie

These people want to wear jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat.

I see these cowboy wannabes about town all the time. What a riot they are.

I'd probably laugh if anyone dissing Texas moves here because we actually have jobs.

Actually it makes me cry. Though I welcome most people with open arms, I can't stand the whiners who come here for the jobs and low cost of living and complain about the lifestyle, food, weather, etc. I want to tell them to go back to Detroit where things are really great.

Agreed Goatman. I joke about the jeans, boots, and hat. Although I do say real men wear boots..ie. combat boots and cowboy boots.

You mean they whine about the food? I love the food here. The weather I'm surprised about because it's normally hotter than it was this year. Normally from June - August we have nothing but 100+ weather.

I knew guys in the military that used to complain when I was in Okinawa and the Philippines about the food. That was the first thing I did was go downtown and eat the local food. It hasn't killed me yet.

Lonnie

I bet Texas has the best Mexican food.

That was the first thing I did was go downtown and eat the local food

I was the exact same way in the service. Whenever our ship made a port of call in a foreign country, most of the crew would search out the nearest McDonalds. I would find the local restaurants. You are right, it doesn't kill you.

My dad has traveled around the world with his business for almost 50 years. He told me that he got the bug the first time or two he ate the local food, but he said he is now immune to it. He said it has been decades since he has had gastro-intestional problems from eating local foods. And his business takes him to bizarre places like Azerbijian, Turkeministan, Uzbekistan, Iran, etc. where you may actually see your meal being slaughtered!

I bet Texas has the best Mexican food

Almost as good as Mexico. *grin*

Yep, sure is Goatman. I definitely eat Mexican food if I'm sick because it was clear out the congestion. LOL.

"The reason the automakers are hurting are both the UAW and the Democrat controlled state of Michigan bilked them out of a lot of money. "

Not true at all, the reason they are struggling is piss poor managment, terrible foresight in innovative product line, and shitty sales. If these idiots in control would have stopped churning out gas guzzlers that cost to much then they could compete with the other car makers that are doing well(exclude toyota). Secondly they have the worst energy procuremnt strategy I have ever seen. I have witnessed firsthand the hedge practices of the automotive industry and it's horrible. Lastly, they only in the last couple of years have tried to provide the same quality service and upkeep the other guys have been doing for decades.

So the fact that many large companies left Michigan had absolutely nothing to do with the state government hiking taxes a lot higher? It's part of the same problem. Michigan felt that nobody would leave their state because they raised taxes. They gambled and lost. Once several of the businesses left, it had a snowball effect in the local economy.

I'm sure your correct in that they aren't making the cars that people want with the energy savings that people wanted. The big 3 gambled and lost when they were trying to figure out what the public wanted. I get that. However, that doesn't mean that the fact the UAW and the state government bilked them out of money didn't contribute to their financial problems.

Either way, you can't sell me on this is the right thing to do. If you give big auto money then next is big insurance, then big resturant chains, after that why not bail out barney's 5 and dime? Where does it stop?

That line still makes me laugh.

I have to be honest. I didn't come up with that line. I saw it on a bumper sticker. It made me laugh, too.

It's yours, Goat.

You stole it fair and square.

"These people want to wear jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat."

I don't know of anyone who doesn't wear jeans.

The boots and cowboy hat thing I kind of grew out of after preschool.

If your job isn't "cowboy" and you walk around dressed like one, you are pretty much wearing a Halloween costume. Mind as well walk around dressed like a pirate.

But what about chicken odobo?

I swear I could detect eyeballs and beaks and feathers in it.

I sort of agree, but if you live in a ranching town and are a fifth generation descendant of real cowboys, even the diner cook and local butcher are going to be wearing cowboy hats and boots.

But as for these rubes who saunter into town from New Jersey with their spotless tight fitting Wranglers and $400 Stetson trying to 'fit in'. . . . that's another story.

I never saw that. My wife cooks chicken Odobo all of the time though. I guess she couldn't get ahold of all those other ingredients to put in it. LOL.

Actually, I was more of a pork stick, fried rice, seafood, Lumpia fan. Hmmm maybe you ate some Baloot.

I agree with you Goatman. I grew up wearing cowboy boots as I lived on a farm up until I was 10. Even though I don't live on a farm anymore but I still wear boots.

I remember having a hamburger is the Seaman's Club in Hong Kong.

Have no idea what it was. Took one bite and froze, couldn't chew, couldn't swallow, couldn't spit it out.
Most godawful thing I ever tried to eat.

LMFAO. Well did it look like a hamburger? Maybe it was dog. You can never know for sure. LOL.

Lonnie

Oh well I'm off to work. Ya'll have a GREAT day!

Lonnie

It LOOKED like a hamburger. It could've been rhino for all I know.

Left you a note on the "Veterans Day" thread re Samuel Gompers

Actually, I was more of a pork stick, fried rice, seafood, Lumpia fan.

Yum! I also had my share of the monkey meat on a stick and hot pan de sol from the street corner vendors in subic. Love the ponsit (sp?) as well. Though I am an adventuresome eater, I could not bring myself to try the baloot. I still hear the early morning vendors calling out, "balloooooot!"

"So the fact that many large companies left Michigan had absolutely nothing to do with the state government hiking taxes a lot higher? It's part of the same problem. Michigan felt that nobody would leave their state because they raised taxes. They gambled and lost. Once several of the businesses left, it had a snowball effect in the local economy"

I didn't say it was sole reason, but I do think it's largest contributing factor since for the auto industry enrgy demand is their highest cost component.

If you look back at your post you said the reason was UAW and Democrats.....

I said it was their management that killed them. Piss poor decision from top to bottom on everything from energy procuremnet to lugnutz!!

Maybe this woman is vying for a co-host spot should Sarah Palin ever get own FOX Noise TV show.

Ok, so far, my favorite part of this thread is BL2 typing sporadically between all caps and regular while trying to say she hit a nerve with the left.

I believe the word is "projection". And you, my dear, are all set for a double matinee....

Nah, scratch that. I actually think it was BL2 outright bragging about Walmart jobs and Value Meals, and no unions.... How's that Texas air quality, eh, BL2? What's that? It's cutting off oxygen to your brain?

the air in some parts of houston area smells bad and looks green at times

and just think if that were to all come to an end and you would then be paying much more than 4 bucks for a gallon of gas...IF YOU COULD GET IT...

but the air doesnt affect me here...........

but it was a nice try at it.....read the nooner and yuo will see what REAL humor using the TRUTH is all about

The same crowd that has spent the past 7 years entertaining the possibility that Bush helped plan 9/11 for political gain is now shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that someone would accuse the next president of being capable of similar complicity.

Probably because this one hasn't done anything like put thru the Patriot Act, institute torture, round up every shady looking Muslim they could find, suspend habeas corpus and start spying on American citizens.

I find it very hard to believe that anyone here with the possible exception of a few unmedicated fruitbats can't tell the f*cking difference, so spare me the song and dance.

I think that she's laying the groundwork for Coulter-Dunbar 2008.

2012. Oops. See, I'm a medicated fruitbat, and because of the pills I do stupid shit like forget we just had an election. Maybe it was because I was partying with my two conservative friends, and they wanted to spend the night in a bunker doing coke and waiting for the Russians to come parachuting into town Red Dawn style.

WOLVERINES!!!!

Check her bio -- does Regents University Law School ring a bell? Definitely a religous right Republican with an agenda.

"well LM..........you can get the fuck out anytime you want so have at it.

UNLESS OF course you are a modern day carpet bagger who is here to make money because its a right to work state and tax base is more condusive to business.............( are you reading this danni)"


I missed you posting this. Originally from Kansas, moved to Texas after college, hated so I moved to California. I loved and would still be there if my father had not gotten ill, and my cousin was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer(both live(d) here as my cousin is now dead). I moved back here to assist in his care and to help run his business till he gets back on his feet(which wil hopefully be soon)!! Fortunately my trading job allows me to work from anywhere as long as I have the net. I also wanted to spend some time with my cousin b4 she passed as I cared for her deeply.....(amazing young woman....I still miss you everyday Lisa)!!

So soon, I will be outta this state again and it will be back to Cali, or maybe Jackson Hole, not 100% sure yet.

hey BLT2, WorldNetDaily is crap, it's the Christian version of "The Onion", it's TAKITEZ's main news source, don't embarrass yourself by quoting it!

being an asshole is one thing and being a dumbshit is another, don't be both!
