Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The White House on Tuesday revealed that Sasha and Malia Obama both received the swine flu vaccine last week, when it became available to schoolchildren in the District of Columbia. The Centers for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all children between 6 months and 18 years be vaccinated against H1N1 "as soon as possible."

I initially missed the "Vaccine" part of the headline, and was about to start having a really good day full of laughter.

a good liberal would have offered it to a ghetto child first.

You were actually going to laugh because you thought the President's children caught swine flu?

Are you for real?

Is your job as a peep show jizz-mopper that unsatisfying that you find it hilarious when kids get the flu?

Wow Live or Die, laughing at children possibly catching a flu.

We don't claim him.


We'll take him on the independent side. hell, we'll take anybody. It's not like we ever actually win any elections or anything.....come to think of it, I can't rightly recall what our platform is. Oh yea, we're independents, we don't have one.

we mostly just sit around and make up wise-ass jokes.


#10----And we don't have to take credit for any of the screw-ups.

I don't believe it...

This is great news. Drinks all around!

Ahh yes...just like communisum ...where the political leaders and their families get all the benefits.

Vacine not available across the country - being rationed (just a pre-cursor of things to come) government Forcing some people to take it..while others cannot get access....not high enough up on the food chain - or not deemed worthy by the political structure.

But the presidents kids (and in this democracy the president is supposed to be treated like any other citizen) get access.

By the way ..so WHAT if they get the flu and give it to him. He is a President - not a King.

Obama's daughters didn't get preferential treatment. They got the vaccine at the same time it became available to schoolchildren in DC.

Even if it had been preferential, you should be able to see the logic of helping the president of the United States avoid getting a potentially serious illness.

I don't believe they were given the same vaccination other ordinary citizens are given...
Some people across the country are forced to take it, and don't have a choice, the whole thing stinks, and people are too easily mislead...

Sasha and Malia Obama both received the swine flu vaccine last week, when it became available to schoolchildren in the District of Columbia.


I don't buy that. The First Family receives some of the best medical care in the World. To think the swine vaccine was not available to the Obamas until it was available to the 'D.C. school children' is laughable.

"To think the swine vaccine was not available to the Obamas until it was available to the 'D.C. school children' is laughable."

Do the research and get back to us.

RCADE,

Leaders make sure thier people are taken care of before themselves.

There is a vacine shortage in and around D.C. which is why only "High Risk" get it first.

This type of ill planning (we have know about this virus for over a year) rationing, and political considerations of who does and who does not get it is what happens when governments run things.

The O - kids go to Sidwell Friends a private school (where Clinton sent his kid) in DC. And not EVERY kid got the vacine because they ran out.

A lady who works for me - her son missed out as they started with the younger kids first.

In a democracy like ours was SUPPOSED to be - were the average citizen was supposed to serve - then LEAVE. No professional politicians...this would not happen.

"I don't believe they were given the same vaccination other ordinary citizens are given..."

Is it warm inside that little tinfoil hat?

"were the average LAND OWNING citizen was supposed to serve"

There.

Lets....I would be happy to go back to that...keep the people that have no vested interest in the US from voting for people that promise them things...that they take from other citizens ...and in the process become professional politicians

Even if it had been preferential, you should be able to see the logic of helping the president of the United States avoid getting a potentially serious illness.

Yes, because that would certainly break my fucking heart.....

My perusals bear out that some flagged posts get deleted, others dumped. Rcade makes judgement calls. I disagree with some, agree with others. By and large, he is more than fair and tolerant compared to other political sites. The tolerance he showed for Rex is proof of that.

It's really not Rcade's fault if some assholes like Vermin or Jacque can't restrain their rhetoric and live within' that rather wide latitude.

It's not about your feelings, Jak. It's about the importance of the president and the impact that his serious illness would have on the world. The markets would take a hit, among many other things.

The First Family receives some of the best medical care in the World. To think the swine vaccine was not available to the Obamas until it was available to the 'D.C. school children' is laughable.

I think the Obamas waited because they wanted to avoid the potential political fallout if their children got preferential treatment. The same reason they haven't gotten it yet.

Personally, I think the Obamas should have gotten the vaccine as soon as they could get it.

When moderating flagged comments, I don't give a crap if the comment's coming from a left-winger or a right-winger. Most of the dumped comments are personal abuse by one member to another, and that kind of stuff could come from my peeps just as easily as your peeps.

The only bias here is that there are more right-wingers who have open contempt for the rules and go out of their way to prove it. I think that's stupid, but it's important to have hobbies.

I just wonder because I see you deleted some posts of mine where I accuratey portrayed woke as a liar. He told several lies about me and I called him on it. I didn't get abusive, call names, etc. And I was accurate in that he lied.

So he flagged me and you rubber stamped it as a delete?

"go create your own website"

This place was Rogers' 'hobby'.

Anybody who ever succeeded once has also failed many times.

Last night I was reading The Monster of Venice in bed when The Goddess interrupted me to read a magazine article about a subset of my family.

It was primarily critical of the "patrician" aspect of the history of a major newspaper in the 60's.

Bitching about a man who never regretted being in the 90% tax bracket. Hell, he was proud of it.

If democracy is to succeed the mistakes of Rome must be avoided; The election of Ronald Reagan is proof that has yet to occur.

The paucity of options is a more damning indictment. Of what I have yet to articulate.

Flag: Crybaby


In classical psychology, projection is always seen as a defense mechanism that occurs when a person's own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else.[1]

The First Family(G-d I hate that term First Family) should have been the very first to get this vaccine as a sign of Leadership. How can a President expect the Nation to be innoculized when He Himself hasn't made sure His Family is vaccinated first??

Larry

Also, rcade, is this post dumpable?

www.drudge.com

Jeff is right. You are inconsistent. It'd just be nice if you clearly stated the rules, that's all.

This is a marketing ploy. The Obama girls don't have to get the vaccine unless they have an underlying health problem that would challenge their immune systems while trying to fight the flu. The prez and 1st lady wouldn't get vaccinated unless they had compromised immune systems.

I was diagnosed with H1N1 at the end of September and it went through our family. All of our nasal swabs were positive. We have 2 minors and 2 adults and all are in very good health. All four of us had different symptoms and lucky me I had all nine of the symptoms. The most challenging aspect of this flu I'll describe as a "complete full-body migraine for 5 days and no energy for two weeks after that. I forced quarts of water and Gatorade and took double doses of Motrin every four hours. My fever never went above 100.But the WHO is right on when they say you think you're getting better and then after a couple of hours...wham! you collapse on the couch, in pain, and feel like someone sucked the life out of you. Unless you have a compromised immune system you will recover just fine; albeit 10 pounds lighter.

I don't think RCADE individually picks and chooses dumps, they have to be flagged first.

I don't either. We just need to make the flagging transparent. It wouldn't change the critera of what qualifies for a dump/delete but it would stop the abuse of the privilege to flag posts.

RCADE? your house.....ideas?

Smart people already know the rules. That's why they are never on suspension. Dumbshits like Vernon and Jacque never learn, or don't care, which is why they're frequently on suspension. It's a pretty simple concept, actually.

Smart people already know the rules.

Maxwell's equations

I think the Obamas waited because they wanted to avoid the potential political fallout if their children got preferential treatment. The same reason they haven't gotten it yet.

The politicization of these children is not right though fact. I think these kids should have had the vaccine ASAP. A good PR would have been to have Sebelius administer the vaccine to the First Family on television after a speech by Sebelius and Obama on the safety and importance of getting vaccinated for H1N1.

But the number one statement of all human intellectual achievement so far is ...


scienceworld.wolfram.com

Since you claim to be so smart and know the rules, tell me which rule my dump fell under. Woke told saome blatant lies about me. I called him on it in a non-abusive manner. (unless you think accurately calling someone a liar is abusive) My posts got deleted. The ones where he lied about me didn't.

You, being one of the self-declared "smart ones" should be able to explain it to me. It's a rule I don't get unless the rule is "libs get more leniancy"

If that is the rule, then yes, I am smart enough to understand it.

I'll wait for you tell tell if I'm right or not. If I'm not, please explain the rules, brainiac.

"OK, I hope he posts them for us stupid ones"

You want Rogers to provide a list of forbidden words or phrases? That's stupid. And it's not necessary.

No intelligent person around here gets suspended unless they want to be.

HINT for dumbass rtards: If you have 2 dumps you might want to rethink that abusive comment about the sexual habits of another poster's wife.

You want Rogers to provide a list of forbidden words or phrases? That's stupid. And it's not necessary.

So clearly calling someone a liar when he posted lies about me is verbotten ? I wonder why this rule isn't applied equally. Do you have an answer, oh wise one?

Comparing a flagger to someone who calls Crimestoppers to give information on a serial rapist, murderer, or pedophile is really stupid Larry. If RCADE knew of a user that he thought was going to hurt anyone, I'm sure he would do a little more just than dump their post.

I think that's the point wurster and eberly are making, Larry. Letting us know who flaggers are is not a big federal case.

You never answered my question: Do you feel comfortable with the Constitutional guarantee that the accused gets to face his accusers? Yes or no?

Then you must have a problem with its concepts being carried into this blog, right? Because the Constitution guarantees that the accused can confront his accuser.

It also stipulated that two senators represent everyone in a state which you have clearly denied.

Either that, or they lack the intellectual capital to do much more than post a sentence or two of trolling, irrelevant bullshit.

Kinda like you.

On the same token, the tone and language in my postage is consistent with what its been for the past 6+ years.

What's changed is the emotional investment people like Rogers have in the "success" of the most un-American sack of Kenyan shit to ever hold the office of POTUS.

Unfortunately, the level of chickenshit that has been recently exhibited in selective enforcement of the inchoate moderation "policy" is a subjective thing.

Its obvious, but its subjective---and therefore can't really be proven.

And Rogers knows it---and that's fine. Its his site.

But I won't quit calling a spade a spade, and I'm not going to mince words doing it.

By the way, Kenya called.

When moderating flagged comments, I don't give a crap if the comment's coming from a left-winger or a right-winger. Most of the dumped comments are personal abuse by one member to another, and that kind of stuff could come from my peeps just as easily as your peeps.

Like I said - usually you're pretty even-handed.

The last couple of months - not so much.

Stroll by the nooner thread. I reproduced a post by Axe that was deleted. If Mao or Vernon had typed the exact same thing, it would have been dumped. That is but one example.

Another would be dumping RiR for using the word "niggardly" which is synonymous with "stingy".

Ultimately, it's your site and as Commondense pointed out, the moderation is STILL a heckuva lot more fair than Freep.

I had given up on being critical of your moderation policy a long time ago simply because I think I get where you try and draw the line and I also understand that moderation is ultimately sujbective, which makes it very difficult.

The only reason I am making an issue of it now is that over the last 3 months I have seen a consistent bias and such bias, to the degree it has been exhibited, is out of character for you.

Just bringing it to your attention.

Can't you find something better to argue about that whether or not they got preferential treatment? What a goof.

If you didn't have your head so far up your ass maybe it would have occurred to you that the President needs to set an example for the nation?!

The parents of the USA need to see this so they feel comfortable vaccinating THEIR children after all the lies being spread from the Right about how unsafe and untested the vaccine is.

rcade -- is that to say you dump or delete all flagged comments whether or not it is offensive?

I'm only talking about dumps. The criteria to delete something is lower.

I am not going to reveal who flags comments, because it would just turn flagging into a tit-for-tat game. When people get carried away with revealing that they are flagging people, I tell them to stop.

Just because something is flagged doesn't mean I do anything to it.

That was unintentional. Once I saw it had been dumped I fixed the error.

If people want to know whether an individual comment is dumpable, flag it and find out.

What concerns me about the distribution of the vaccine is that there does not seem to be (in my state anyway) and system for giving the vaccine to children who are at higher risk before other school children.

My wife is a school nurse and takes care of children whose health is compromised by serious disabilities. One is a quadriplegic; a few others are on vents, etc. If anyone of them got the flu they would have greater difficulty in fighting it off due to already present serious respiration issues.

Yet for some reason no provision has been made to make sure these students receive their vaccine as soon as possible. At this point they will have to wait until December. Meanwhile numerous cases of H1N1 have already erupted in the general student population of the school.

In another school in the area one child is thought to have died from H1N1. A few more incidents like that coupled with a lack of access to the vaccine, and I imagine a kind of panic will begin to arise in parents.

#126 grendl,

Now you understand the "program"!

I think Rcade should be abit more niggardly concerning dumps.

The one Larry got was the 2nd weakest dump I've seen. The first was the Glamour Shots crack I made.

Selective enforcement on shots at family members is the #1 problem in America today. Forclosure is a close second.

I had all that too and it was a good month before complete recovery - our son had several of they symptoms but they only lasted 24 hours - I never want to feel that badly again. The full-body migraine was horrid - contracted something like e.coli in the midst of it - oy.

Eeuuuuww. Yep, it's a bad one...but totally beatable if you're in decent health. BTW glad you beat it.

If RCADE knew of a user that he thought was going to hurt anyone, I'm sure he would do a little more just than dump their post.

Oh, I don't know about that. I've read of things that a certain poster has done to others on this site (not physically) and that person still posts here. I would never let him back if it were up to me. Based on that, I'm not so sure that he would do anything.


Rcades Dumping Policy;

He only takes a dump on weekdays, after he watches the Brady Bunch but before Oprah comes on.

The Ass Clown in Chief is at it again. We can't meet our demand but are sending 10% to other countries. If Bush had engaged in such mismanagement of scarce life saving resources, the dems would cry foul.


Obama declares H1N1 a "National Emergency"

www.foxnews.com


Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com Wednesday that one in 10 doses of the swine-flu vaccine purchased by the U.S. will be donated to other nations before the U.S. demand for the vaccine is filled. Sebelius also told a Senate committee that vaccine production is well behind demand.

Barack Husein Obama -- First he apologizes for the US while in foreign lands -- Then he gives away millions of life saving vaccinations that could save Americans -- Mmm ... Mmm ... Mmm

What do you care - last week you were sayin how unsafe it is?

Make up your mind - is that all conservatism has become a nit picking of every little detail and whining?

Wow and you wonder why conservatives lost control of the government?

The people are not buying your lies and propaganda anymore, so hopeychangey that!

"What do you care - last week you were sayin how unsafe it is?"

???????

Perhaps you can support this assertion with some evidence. (I realize that liberals are not known for supporting their claims but in this instance, you are making claims against me personally.)

Back to the subject at hand though, do you have an opinion on Obama's declaration of a national emergency and giving away 1 in 10 doses manufactured even though there isn't enough to meet U.S. health care demands?

Is that all liberalism has become? Just blindly attacking the republican president then blindly turning away when a dem engages in objectionable behavior? Your "switch the subject and manufacture a false claim for which to assail your opponent" response speaks volumes.

Breakthrough documentary "House of Numbers" challenges conventional thinking on HIV, AIDS
By malterwitty

Where would Big Pharma be without cancer, AIDS and vaccines? Profits would fall sharply. So diagnosing as many people as possible with AIDS (and cancer) is an important strategy for boosting Big Pharma's annual revenues.

After reading books on AIDS by Dr. Gary Null and others, I'm convinced that the official mythology about AIDS is a cruel hoax perpetrated by the drug companies. That doesn't mean there aren't people suffering from very real immune suppression disorders, but I believe it is far too simplistic to explain the root causes as being solely due to HIV. The entire HIV explanation is just a clever way to shift control over AIDS patients into the hands of drug companies where highly toxic chemicals are sold at ridiculous profits to people who are rarely helped by them.

At least Obama is willing to potentially expose his daughters to media & pharm created fake pandemics to save his poll numbers...

That takes courage! & will probably give him 7 more years in the WH because he's so focus on what is best for us!

Boy rushed to hospital after swine flu jab
By: malterwitty

The safety of Northern Ireland's swine flu vaccination programme was called into question today by the parent of a young special needs pupil who ended up in hospital just hours after getting the jab.

Anne Marie Fletcher said she feared her 15-year-old son Rhys was going to die as she rushed him to hospital less than 24 hours after receiving the swine flu vaccine.

The teenager fell seriously ill after receiving the injection, along with thousands of other pupils across Northern Ireland last Friday. He was later diagnosed with swine flu.

but was it the same stuff Obama's daughters got?

Website for company that makes PandemrixH1N1 Vaccine(H1N1) admits Guillain Barr syndrome possible.

From post-marketing surveillance with interpandemic trivalent vaccines, uncommon adverse reactions reported included generalised skin reactions including urticaria. Rare adverse reactions included neuralgia, convulsions and transient thrombocytopenia. Allergic reactions, in rare cases leading to shock, have been reported. Very rare adverse reactions included vasculitis with transient renal involvement and neurological disorders, such as encephalomyelitis, neuritis and Guillain Barr syndrome.

Hmmm. That's a new ludicrous assertion.

What are we supposed to do ... nothing? Kids his kid's ages are exactly who are getting the sickest.

"Uncommon adverse reactions.."
"Rare adverse reactions..."

Guess we should have done nothing, huh? Take all pharmas off the market? Most all can cause 'uncommon' and 'rare' adverse reactions to a minute % of the population.

I could tell u about MMS Protocol, but can't apparently do a link about Jim Humble w/o getting a dump from site meister. But I didn't mind two weeks off for a good legimate cause for I know MMS Protocol is a far better remedy for swine flu & far cheaper, too. So do the google search yourself on something 500,000 people all over the world have brought (& certainly many of my friends with incredible results.)

I will do a link on another product than probably does far better job than the vacine being hailed to the public by Obama & is far cheaper, too, of oourse, long term.

Glaxo sales boosted by weak pound
By: malterwitty

GSK also registered 182m of sales from Relenza, its anti-viral swine flu treatment, with "significant" sales from Pandemrix, the company's swine flu vaccine, expected for the fourth quarter. Analysts believe that revenue from the vaccine could reach 1bn for the final three months of the year.

www.telegraph.co.uk

a good liberal would have offered it to a ghetto child first.


I just came from DC, there are H1N1 vaccination clinics everywhere.

so WHAT if they get the flu and give it to him. He is a President - not a King.


So remind us again whey he has secret service, armored limousine, air force one, etc.....

Even if it had been preferential, you should be able to see the logic of helping the president of the United States avoid getting a potentially serious illness.

#15 | Posted by rcade at 2009-10-27 07:27 PM | Reply |

So what if this dildo in charge gets the flu? How is that bad for America

After overwhelming political pressure directed to the President, the first lady's PR agent comes out stating the girls were vaccinated last week. Fine. Maybe true, maybe not.

So now the pro-pharma crowd comes out saying that settles it. Have you all forgotten that many who are most knowledgeable on the subject are refusing it for themselves and their families? This includes media pundit doctors like Dr Oz and others.

Even the CDC has warned neurologists to watch for the dangerous side effects.

Also, strong skepticism is validated by the deception involved with the media stating there are no side effects while anyone can get the vaccine insert that tells the real story.

I forgot the link:

Neurologists Urged to Watch for Swine Flu Side Effects

"Have you all forgotten that many who are most knowledgeable on the subject are refusing it for themselves and their families? This includes media pundit doctors like Dr Oz and others."

You're incorrect. From Dr. Oz's website:

Dr. Oz and his team of experts suggest these tips to help to protect you from the H1N1 virus.

Get Vaccinated
The National Institutes of Health and manufacturers under contract with Health and Human Services are working to get an H1N1 vaccine ready for widespread use in time to protect against the mid-winter peak. In clinical trials, most adults who got a single dose were protected within 8 to 10 days. Make sure you get a good night's sleep the day before you get your shot. Sleep can boost the effectiveness of immunizations.

www.doctoroz.com

I think the Obamas waited because they wanted to avoid the potential political fallout if their children got preferential treatment.

Holy shit how are the anti-vax people going to spin this one?

Were the Obama girls getting preferentially treated with a deadly poison?

Were they just given saline injections because they're reptilians and can't get swine flu anyway and the vaccine is made to kill us all?

#152 danforth

His website gives the official propaganda. Big deal. Yet he refuses to take it himself and give it to his children.

Watch his video on CNN

CNN Video

"Yet he refuses to take it himself"

I watched the video. You're a liar. Dr. Oz says he's going to get the vaccine, at about the 2:00 mark.

#155 danforth
Nice try. At 2:00 he states, it is mandated for all of us to take it. He does not say he is taking it. Now, it is no longer mandated!

Listen to 5:10 , he states he is is getting it [based on the mandate he stated earlier] but his wife will not give it to his children.

Why, if he fully support the propaganda, in his own household, he cannot even convince his wife, but instead puts his own kids at risk [since doctors know best, right]???

"He does not say he is taking it."

WTF are you talking about? At the 1:50 mark of YOUR VIDEO, Dr. Oz says the following:

"...health-care providers, we have to get (it), in fact, New York Presbyterian where I practice, it is mandated we all get vaccinated by the end of this month"

You're a moron.

#156
"He does not say he is taking it."
"he states he is is getting it"

Contrarian, indeed.

#157,158 danforth

You are parsing words. He states that his profession is required to get it. He never came out and stated he is voluntarily taking it. Also, you're also not answering the bigger question about his own household.

#157 danforth

"...health-care providers, we have to get (it), in fact, New York Presbyterian where I practice, it is mandated we all get vaccinated by the end of this month"

You're a moron.


Nice ad hominem attack while avoiding the real question.

"He never came out and stated he is voluntarily taking it."

Reread my posts. My only issue was that you lied about Dr. Oz. You posted: "Have you all forgotten that many who are most knowledgeable on the subject are refusing it for themselves and their families" and "he refuses to take it himself". Nothing about VOLUNTARILY. You're just moving the goalposts, since your lie was exposed.

"Nice ad hominem attack while avoiding the real question."

Even after I corrected you, you lied again.

"You are parsing words."

Too rich, coming from the guy who stated both ---"He does not say he is taking it." AND "he states he is is getting it" --- and thinks that proves his point.

I come here for the comedy.

ok Danforth. I posted that from memory. He didn't actually "refuse". The spirit of my point is true where media pundits propagandize one way, but it isn't appropriate for them [or their family].

I do not "lie". Take a look at my posting record. I've been accused of many things, but lying isn't one of them.

Parsing words referred to your post:

"He does not say he is taking it."
"he states he is is getting it"

Contrarian, indeed

I stand corrected on Yet he refuses to take it himself

I ask you Danforth, do you honestly believe he has taken it based on all the circumstances?

Most of the healthcare workers who either were against it or were undecided in NY certainly waited out the decision whether they would have to take it, as the protests started and the lawsuit was very quickly filed.

"I ask you Danforth, do you honestly believe he has taken it based on all the circumstances?"

Absolutely. (Or, at least, will by the end of this week.) Did you miss the part where he wouldn't be able to practice at his hospital if he didn't?

"Parsing words referred to your post:
"He does not say he is taking it."
"he states he is is getting it""

Um...those were YOUR words, L_R. In the same post. You're the one parsing "taking" vs "getting". Add that on to your unequivocal statement "He refuses to take it himself", and you'll see how I got to my conclusion.
