Planet Wingnut News for Wednesday.


Steele mad that Specter disrespected him: 'I know his mama didn’t raise him that way'

O'Reilly and his friends get nasty -- and then tut-tut liberal nastiness
Especially when Bill O'Reilly's part of the program, as he was during The O'Reilly Factor last night. He opened with a scathing attack on the New York Times for its own scathing cartoon.
Somewhat hilariously, O'Reilly speculates wildly about the effects of the release of the photos of prisoners being tortured, saying it's "beyond question" that American servicemen and women abroad will be harmed because their publication will foment so much resentment -- even though, of course, he can produce no evidence to support that speculation at all.
Nonetheless, it's enough for O'Reilly to call the cartoon an "atrocity" and "garbage" and accuse the Times of "pushing a hateful, far-left agenda," while the heads of the Times, NBC, and other "far left" outfits are "doing an enormous amount of damage to this country" and are "haters."
Then he invites on Karl Rove to talk about that NYT cartoon, and Karl happily obliges by making the subsequent attack on NYT publisher Arthur Sulzberger as vicious and personal as he can:
O'Reilly: What did you think when you saw that cartoon in the New York Times yesterday of the Statue of Liberty with a whip? What did you think of that?
Rove: I thought Pinch Sulzberger was right to worry about why he had to sell his building and his stock is in the toilet, and I'm glad it is.
O'Reilly: But weren't you offended as an American? I mean, that is just the lowest!
Rove: Look look look, I'm from Texas! I've met this little Pinch Sulzberger. He is an elitist, effete snob, who thinks he knows better than the rest of America and has views that are distinctly outside the mainstream of what America's all about.

Rep. Jim DeMint crazy talk on CNN: "Freedom is the biggest tent of all"
CNN's Rick Sanchez played a portion of Arlen Specter's press conference to
South Carolina's Jim DeMint and asked him if Republicans are weeding out the moderates from the party -- and isn't that a bad thing?
Sanchez: Republicans are making it very difficult for other Republicans because, and he said this on several times, you tell me what you think of it. You're shrinking the electorate to an extreme, to a point that a regular republican can't win. What do you make of that argument?
DeMint: Oh, that's quite the opposite. We're seeing across the country right now, the biggest tent of all is freedom and what we need to do as Republicans is convince Americans that freedom can work in all areas of their life, for all Americans, whether it's education or health care or creating jobs...Sanchez: What the hell does that mean? The biggest tent is freedom. FREEDOM, I mean, you gotta do better than that.
DeMint: No, what it means is what has worked in America, free people, free markets for years.

On the Falafel Factor only far right objectives are acceptable, anything that questions the far right wing nutjobs is not accepatable and subject to spewing by the Falafel King, who has lewd and raunchy phone conversations during breaks. (aka perverted phone sex)
Yep that's why the GOP are bailing, this is their mouthpiece, a mouthpiece that needs a bar of soap in it.
