To be a common leftist, all you need is your vitriol, your hate and a few buzzwords in your head and you think you are an informed, engaged citizen. It doesn’t matter if you have any real idea about what you are on about or any facts at your disposal. As long as you have that righteous indignation, that is all you need, apparently. No truth need apply.
Take what has befallen a small business in Iowa as a case in point to show that many leftists don’t need any truth to back them up, that their hate keeps them warm.
A Des Moines, Iowa company owned by the Koch family is having major problems with protests, death threats and attacks on their business. Yeah, Koch… but not that Koch! These Iowa Kochs have no connection at all to the media-made-infamous Koch brothers, the two conservatives that have donated heavily to conservative political activism.
The ones in Iowa ain’t them…
The Koch Brothers employ 65 employees in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Brothers George, William and Frank Koch founded the company in 1889 as a spinoff from the Des Moines Register and Leader’s job printing shop.
No… NOT the New York Kochs that have drawn the hatred of half-wit leftists everywhere.
The idiot leftists attacking the Iowa Koch family don’t have any idea who they are protesting. They see the buzzword “Koch” and off they go over the cliff like the good, brainless lemmings they are. Off they go to mindlessly protest, cast aspersions, call names, and send in death threats.
So, the left has found a new, new enemy and it is a pair of brothers named Koch from New York (with a company based in Kansas) neither of whom they’d ever heard of until two months ago. And now, anyone with that name is suddenly fair game for abuse, attack and death threats regardless of whether they are actually members of the Kochs in contention.
But facts don’t matter to the left. All they need is their hate.

Wow, such vitriol whining about leftist vitriol. Good job Whinny!
April 20th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Wow! He’s received 15 whole calls! That really encompasses the left there whinny! Retard.
Idiots on the right like Palin confuse the Space Race with the Arms Race and base entire arguments on it! And she was running for VP, potentially running for president!

Obummer said he had visited 57 states…so that makes him an idiot savant? ROFLMAO

Remember the boycott against Arizona Iced Tea?

@ L Rivera,
Is that like NY state wanting to ban Freeze Tag because it is too deadly for children?

HAH! Remember how the majority of Republicans (51%) absolutely refuse to believe that Obama is born in the US despite all the proof otherwise, such as his birth announcement in the newspaper, and the fact that his birth certificate was in fact released for public view. HAH! Idiots. Complete idiots. Veiled r@cism, no doubt!
April 20th, 2011 at 11:16 am
“HAH! Remember how the majority of Republicans (51%) absolutely refuse to believe that Obama is born in the US ”
Yeah, I think it was you and I who went thru this once before.
If it was you, you conveniently left out the stats I showed you that showed 35% of those on both sides of the aisle didnt/dont know that Hawaii is a state or was one when Dickhead was born.
You guys set yourselves up to get it wrong in the protest arena more than most due to the sheer fact that you protest more than any other group on the planet.
I must say though, getting your Koch’s mixed up is understandable.
But, calling out a 14 year old girl at a Tea Party rally and telling her to get fcked is a protest way off the mark.
April 20th, 2011 at 11:44 am

Collateral damage, that’s all. Nothing is going to change in this country until the people demand it. Nothing ever changes until the people demand it. Our precious democracy has been taken over by pigs, and you one of ‘em.
SCENE III. A street.
Enter CINNA the poet
CINNA THE POET
I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar,
And things unlucky charge my fantasy:
I have no will to wander forth of doors,
Yet something leads me forth.
Enter Citizens
First Citizen
What is your name?
Second Citizen
Whither are you going?
Third Citizen
Where do you dwell?
Fourth Citizen
Are you a married man or a bachelor?
Second Citizen
Answer every man directly.
First Citizen
Ay, and briefly.
Fourth Citizen
Ay, and wisely.
Third Citizen
Ay, and truly, you were best.
CINNA THE POET
What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do I
dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then, to
answer every man directly and briefly, wisely and
truly: wisely I say, I am a bachelor.
Second Citizen
That’s as much as to say, they are fools that marry:
you’ll bear me a bang for that, I fear. Proceed; directly.
CINNA THE POET
Directly, I am going to Caesar’s funeral.
First Citizen
As a friend or an enemy?
CINNA THE POET
As a friend.
Second Citizen
That matter is answered directly.
Fourth Citizen
For your dwelling,–briefly.
CINNA THE POET
Briefly, I dwell by the Capitol.
Third Citizen
Your name, sir, truly.
CINNA THE POET
Truly, my name is Cinna.
First Citizen
Tear him to pieces; he’s a conspirator.
CINNA THE POET
I am Cinna the poet, I am Cinna the poet!
Fourth Citizen
Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses.
CINNA THE POET
I am not Cinna the conspirator.
Fourth Citizen
It is no matter, his name’s Cinna; pluck but his
name out of his heart, and turn him going.
Third Citizen
Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho! fire-brands:
to Brutus’, to Cassius’; burn all: some to Decius’
house, and some to Casca’s; some to Ligarius’: away, go!
Exeunt

Dude…Klo…
Whatevers been going on in your mind has escaped and is growing on the back of your head like a Manitou
“Imagine for a moment that you’ve got a strange bump on the back of your neck. Now imagine it’s growing at an astounding rate. As a final insult you find out it’s not a tumor, but an Indian medicine man being reborn! (At this point you wake up sweating and probably swear off tequila.)

Snow,
There in lies the fallacy of your argument. A birth certificate has never been produced. A certificate of live birth has been. They are two different items. That is not to say I am on one side or the other of the “birthers” but, the question I have, is why doesn’t he produce the actual birth certificate?
Just saying
April 21st, 2011 at 3:48 am
as an added item here is what the Hawaii requirements are:
“[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State.
(a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]”
Everybody get that?
As long as an adult can walk into Hawaii’s version of the Department of Records and provide proof that they are a legal resident of Hawaii, the document is issued.

Obummer wants all this distraction regarding his birth so nobody notices his poor job performance.

The state of Hawaii has confirmed he was born there. Besides, why ignore the newspaper clippings congratulating his birth? How many other Barrack H. Obama’s do you think were born that day in Hawaii? Come on, man!
Do you think he could really have gotten this far, plus received his passport without it?
51% of the right are birthers
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0211/49554.html
Therefor, 51% of the right are conspiracy nut-bags who aren’t able to think clearly.
April 21st, 2011 at 6:18 am
Why should he have to? Just because you idiots want him to, despite it being proven already? Veiled r@cism, that’s all this is. This has never been an issue before, but – oh noes! We can’t have a minority in office!
April 21st, 2011 at 6:23 am
If I were president and this were an issue I certainly wouldn’t ‘prove’ it if I didn’t have to. Hell, that’s free campaigning! The more you morons get all stirred up about it, the dumber you look to those of us who can actually reason. He’s making a majority of you look like idiots, just by NOT showing his birth cert.
April 21st, 2011 at 8:19 am
Right or left, conservative or liberal, republican or democrat – who gives a sh*t?
Our two party political system is the joke of the entire world, Iran and Cuba excluded. Ideologically grid-locked as we travel side-by-side on the same highway to hell. We need to throw this dead baby out with the bath water and start over.
Any solutions or suggestions are welcome.
Maybe we should vote like they do on American Idol or DWTS but without the cheating as was the case for Bristol Palin and the tper’s.
April 21st, 2011 at 8:34 am
Snow,
That still does not account for your statement ” and the fact that his birth certificate was in fact released for public view ” It has not.
And I am so tired of the race thing. Anytime anyone disagrees with, or says anything bad about Obama, they must be racist. Get off of it.
Prove your point(s) with facts – not always throwing the race card around.
As far as this not being an issue before, I do not remember any other president who’s grandmother stated she witnessed his birth in Kenya.

Oh, you silly wingnuts and your half-truths. It’s like that stupid movie “loose change”, you only get half of the story – when there’s a ’smoking gun’ you stop it there, and don’t proceed to learn the real facts. Well, here you go -

I don’t believe that when anyone says anything bad about Obama it’s racism, hell I’ll very openly admit that I think he’s been an idiot in a lot of instances, however, knowing plenty of birthers myself (since a majority of you guys are), they all seem to have one thing in common. R@cism. They just CANT STAND having a black president! And some of my family friends, and much of my immediate family are birthers, including my parents – whom are all quite racist. Especially my parents. Drives me f*cking nuts. I know it’s not right to label a whole group based only on the people you know, but I still can’t help but believe many, maybe not all, but many of the birthers are similar.
Hey, Donald Trump, a birther, has a good relationship with ‘the blacks’, doesn’t he?
April 21st, 2011 at 10:35 am
“I don’t believe that when anyone says anything bad about Obama it’s racism, hell I’ll very openly admit that I think he’s been an idiot in a lot of instances, however, knowing plenty…”

Please tell us how Obummer has been an “idiot”
Thanks.

Inspector Kemp: Wait. A riot is an ungly thing…and I think it is just about time that we had one!
Villagers: Kill the monster!
Inspector Kemp: As heaven is my witness, he will curse the day that he was born a Frankenstein.
Villagers: What?
Inspector Kemp: I said he will curse the day that he was born a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein!

Snow,
I see you did not point out the letter that was written in response to the article you linked.
April 21st, 2011 at 10:42 am
“Veiled r@cism, that’s all this is.”
You and Garafolo should get a room.
“There may be enough people playing with the poll that it’s not 51 percent,” Jensen noted, “but it’s definitely over 40.” In 2009, his firm conducted deep testing into birther beliefs and concluded that a “decent amount” of respondents didn’t believe Hawaii — where Obama was born — is part of the United States. Another 10 percent thought Obama was born in Indonesia, where he lived as a child after his mother married stepfather Lolo Soetoro, and 7 percent thought Obama was born in his father’s homeland, Kenya.
Why would the number of birthers be growing?
The left likes to blame GOP leaders for not categorically denying birther theories.
On “Meet the Press” Sunday, House Speaker John Boehner said he believes Obama was born in Hawaii. In response to a Fox News clip in which Iowa voters said they believe Obama is a Muslim, Boehner also said he believes the president is a Christian. That wasn’t enough for “Meet the Press” moderator David Gregory, who argued Boehner had a “responsibility to stand up to that kind of ignorance.”
What is Gregory’s responsibility? It very well might be that more voters believe the birther/Muslim tales because the media won’t stop reporting on them. Jensen agreed that “the fact that (the birther story) hasn’t gone away” might be a reason it is “a more commonly held view.”
Why even ask the birther question? Jensen noted that his firm has a long-held interest in “the measure of extremism in the American public.” PPP polls also have asked if voters believe President George W. Bush “intentionally allowed the 9/11 attacks to take place because he wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East.” In September 2009, 27 percent of Obama voters answered yes.
“The truther accusation ultimately is much more malicious than the birther accusation,” Jensen observed. PPP has tracked truthers and birthers to test the public’s willingness to demonize a president. In this country today, a nasty rumor has everything but brakes. ”

In all fairness.
I personally knew our governor when I was about 16.
Him and my dad, who ran one the states top theme parks while Neil was our dist. rep, used to get stoned together and listen to Black Sabbath etc…
Neil is an alright guy.
About 10% (not 35 like I said earlier) dont believe Hawaii is a state.
Many think you need a passport to visit here.
Most on the right dont doubt his citizenship, thats not really the argument.
But guys like Snow would have you believe otherwise.
The question is not where he was born as much as it is “Why wont he show the original” ?????
I think hes been listed as a Muslim. Seriously.
==============================================
“As for Obama’s roots in Hawaii, Abercrombie told Hawaii News Now he first laid eyes on baby Barack Obama a few days after he was born. Abercrombie said Obama’s parents introduced their newborn to friends at the University of Hawaii where Abercrombie was going to college with the president’s father.
“We not only saw him and were with them, but were introduced to him of course at our gatherings, our student gatherings. And of course over the years then as he was raised by his mother and his grandparents we of course saw him frequently because he was with his grandfather all the time,” Abercrombie added.
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/14479029/trump-abercrombie-spar-over-birther-issue
==============================================
In December Abwercrombie said he’d put and end to this only to find out that its not whithin his right to expose the original document.
One might wonder at this point what there is to hide.
Granted, the certificate has been viewed. But the religion listed on it has not been disclosed.
“Former state Health Director Chiyome Fukino has said several times she has personally inspected President Obama’s birth certificate twice. In an interview earlier this month she said claims Obama was not born here are “ludicrous” and “silly.”
Both the Honolulu Star Bulletin and the Honolulu Advertiser ran announcements in August, 1961 saying Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama had a son on August 4 of that year.”
Barry was born a raghead and doesnt want anyone to know.
Its that simple
