I will say this: I don’t think the Churchill bust thing is now such a big deal and far too much has been made of it. I can only go along with what’s been said until someone refutes it. To be honest I only came here because of the google Joe Bastardi alert!!!!

But it has changed ny veiw on this bust buisness

Bemused
I never mentioned one iota about where the president was born

Thanx Visitor. That’s now filed in the “grasping-at-straws” folder.

@Lawrence: On the Kenya link: a Fox “journalist” (aka dirt-chaser) spent several weeks in Kenya trying to find somebody, anybody, willing to testify that President Obama was indeed born and raised there. Although that journalist (forget his name) worked very hard indeed, most likely also offering a generous financial reward (but that’s speculation on my part), he found nothing, nada, zilch, nishto, rien. Even that wasn’t enough to put that myth to rest.

Further, the blood brother who’s allegedly living in squalor refuses to live anywhere else or anyhow different. And he refuses vehemently to become a stooge for the American RWing. All he wants is to be left to live his life as he sees fit. Used to have an uncle like that, actually.

@bemused, one day, some neocons decided to smear President Obama by claiming that his father, (you know, the man that left when he was a small child, the man he never knew, only met once), was an “anti-colonial” from Kenya and therefore hated the British. So to try and smear President Obama and prove that he was just like his father, they made up this conspiracy to fit their twisted agenda. See? Obama hates the British and is just like his father because he returned the bust of Churchill. They ignore the fact that the bust that was returned was a loaner, and that the 52 year old original is still in the White House.

Notice how “lawrence” tried to bring up the Kenya connection? You can always tell which neocon bullshit a troll is swallowing by what it repeats. This particular lie is being kept alive by kkklannity and batshitcrazy beckkk.

Please enlighten me someone: why are the RWingers so vehemently hot under the collar about a bust of Churchill that was returned to the British? I’m pretty sure they already had a full closet-full. In any case, the Brits clearly did not take offence so why is it such a big deal for Lawrence?

I’m not kidding, here: I’m truly perplexed.

@mj, yep. That sack of shit heckuvajob brownie criticized President Obama for responding TOO QUICKLY. But it’s guaranteed that by Thursday, the GOPigs will claim that President Obama didn’t respond quickly enough.

@Visitor 55: You can NOT be serious — Michael “I’m a fashion god” Brown is criticizing Obama for responding TOO QUICKLY??

That’s comedy GOLD.

As for Little Larry:

“As for BP . BP paid their dues they were deepdrilling oil and a cock up happened they never shied away unlike america did with Bhopal. But Obamam p and his lefty spin team played the anti King George don’t yer know anti big wicked oil card and the white spoke bollocks for months on end about an accident and then proceeded to invest American tax payers money in deep sea drilling in Brazil with Petrobas, the very same drilling he’d put a ban on in this home country. Next you’ll be telling me Anite Dunne and Van Jone’s were tea party memebrs who’d come to realise how sincerer Obama was.”

Can someone translate the above into (American) English?

Come to think of it, that was comedy gold, too — as was listing the Chicago Fire and the Great Fire as examples of . . . something . . .

.

That’s all you got?

Arguing about semantics?

Tropical depression to tropical storm then hurricane then back to tropical storm back again to hurricane down to tropical storm and back to hurricane then Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy.

I probably misplaced a comma. Knock yourself out, chump.

By the wat Ellen it wasn’t a hurricane.

Bye the way: Is this a kids blog?

Okay Aria there’s more.

the second link is about homes on fire from last nights storm…….are you suer that’s what you meant to post? Have you ever heard of the great fire of the Great fire of Chicago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chicago_Fire

The great fire of London 1666
or vthe great fire of rome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_Rome

There’s always been fires

Arai

Ermm that first link Daily Telegraph report was quoted from the forecasts by the United Kingdom Meteorological Office which was set up by the captain of the ship the Beagle Fitzroy. He in turn cabbed Darwin around the southern seas to later become Admiral and is buried about a mile from where I live. By the way UKMO are gung-ho for global warming caused by humans and that particular forecast a a total sham. Yes it was mild but no blood and no record warmth

Weird weather Lawrence ignores:

Regardless of the cause- Global warming, solar anomalies, the Mayans were right… there is absolutely no denying that the weather has been absolutely bizarre this year. To restate my point from earlier…

If this is just the weather relapsing to 1950 patterns, like Bastardi claims, why couldn’t he prove it? Why wouldn’t Hannity let him, if he could?

But just keep on flapping your gums, Lawrence. I’m so in the mood for ignorant people that can’t stop jawing.

@mj, looks like we’ve hit a nerve with this troll. The stupid runs deep in this one. Now he’s pulling out all the right-wing lies he can remember, knowing full well that all the right-wing lies have been debunked. He reminds me of someone…someone who is a compulsive liar…hmmm…oh yeah! Etch-a-Sketch Rmoney. Lying is a neocon value.

LOL! That didn’t take long. What’d I say…no matter what President Obama does, he’s going to get criticized by the GOPigs.

Heckavajob Brownie Criticizes Obama for Responding to Sandy Too Quickly. That’s right…the idiot who was more worried about how he’d look in front of the cameras than helping stranded people is criticizing the President for acting too quickly. What. An. Idiot.

MJ I haven’t read all of your diatribe amn I may not bother but as you v=have a bad attitude and a fat mouth here goes the first part.

The story of theChurchill bust, Obama’s love of his grandfather who died fighting the Dutch whilst putting his curtains up no doubt due to his torture at the hand sof the British, is well known. So you would kinda think that his army of spin people would have wanted to set the record straight a lot earlier than that. The main report in the UK was via the Telegraph a very prostigious broad sheet. It seems to me that they were either incompetant or so arrogant that they did’nt feel it mattered. FFS

As for BP . BP paid their dues they were deepdrilling oil and a cock up happened they never shied away unlike america did with Bhopal. But Obamam p and his lefty spin team played the anti King George don’t yer know anti big wicked oil card and the white spoke bollocks for months on end about an accident and then proceeded to invest American tax payers money in deep sea drilling in Brazil with Petrobas, the very same drilling he’d put a ban on in this home country. Next you’ll be telling me Anite Dunne and Van Jone’s were tea party memebrs who’d come to realise how sincerer Obama was.

MJ stick it you know where

@lawrence, don’t flatter yourself. I hate no one. You’re simply not worth the effort. I can tell that goes against what you’ve been brainwashed to believe. Sorry you’re so gullible.

And hon, you’re not principled. You repeated a debunked lie and then accused President Obama of being a “deluded hateful leftwinger” based on that very lie. And then you try to twist what Obama did…returned a borrowed bust while ignoring the fact that the original is still at the White House all the while ignoring the fact that your right-wing heroes claimed that President Obama returned the one and only bust of Churchill. Absolutely stupid. And this shit about Obama disliking the British because of Kenya. That is directly out of batshitcrazy beckkk’s fat ass. You, dear boy, are nowhere near principled. You swallow the right-wing bullshit and then beg for more.

You really are grasping here lawrence. Give up before you make a bigger ass of yourself.

@Lawrence Jenkins:

“You probably hate people like me yet I admitted that the story wasn’t that clearcut .”

Actually, it IS clear cut.

- the Churchill bust was NOT the property of the White House
- it was ON LOAN from the British gov’t
- the loan period coincided with the change of administrations
- President Obama returned to the British THEIR PROPERTY

Well, clear cut to everybody but rightwingnuts like you, apparently . . .

“And the so called excuse semed to come rather late , three years in fact. So please don’t lecture me about being unfair when it took all that time to try and set the record straight? Quite a long time don’t you think?”

The “record had to be set straight,” because rightwing idiots on Fox and their sheeple listeners were the only ones who continued to scream for three years that “Obama returned the bust ‘cuz he don’t like the Brits.”

“By the way Obama’s attitude over the BP oil spill didn’t exactly help matters much-did it.”

What “attitude” was that?

Was it mobilizing 30K people and 17K National Guard troops to contain and clean up the spill?

Was it establishing a commission to investigate the cause of the explosion and make recommendations to prevent another one?

Was it asking the country to pray for the people of the Gulf, especially the families of the 11 rig workers who were killed and the 17 that were injured?

Here’s the text of President Obama’s speech on the BP oil spill; perhaps you can use the same mind-reading powers Rush Limpballs has, and “interpret” what he “really meant”:

You probably hate people like me yet I admitted that the story wasn’t that clearcut . Now I’m not sure if thethe whitehouse staff are incometent or what because it took a long long time for any response and even then he got it wrong and had to update it.

There you it have two principled so called right wingers in one day myself and Christie, now try and find me one pricipled lefty in one hundred years.

By the way Obama’s attitude over the BP oil spill didn’t exactly help matters much-did it.

By the way he did return the bust
He does dislike the British because of Kenya
And the so called excuse semed to come rather late , three years in fact. So please don’t lecture me about being unfair when it took all that time to try and set the record straight? Quite a long time don’t you think?

I, for one, am glad they’re around.

Each and every appearance reminds me how important it is to get out the vote for civilisation and civility.

I do not want to live in a world like the one described in “The Handsmaid Tail” (Margaret Atwood).
