    Puddy placed words from Mrs Odumba.

    AND YOU ARE DEFLECTING AGAIN!

    How many time must I repeat myself for this moron?

    YOU DID THIS:

    161. GBS spews:

    147. Puddybud has fun skewering Libtardos spews:

    You missed this one too arschloch…

    “Bush is now no different than Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler”

    Et tu, Puddy?

    The whole point of that post that you purposefully took way out of context to fit within your own lie was about the Rule of Law in America. That no one was above the Rule of Law, including Democrats. Which, by the way, I called for them to be prosecuted as well if they were complicit in the torturing of human beings.

    http://horsesass.org/?p=26256#comment-994950

    You betrayed your “friend” to serve your dishonest purposes. When are you going to stop lying?

  3. 3

    You know arschloch, you can continue to live on other peeps comments because your comments are worthless.

    While you scream and shout Puddy stabbed GBS in the back… Puddy will meet GBS for a lunch and he’ll learn he’s sadly mistaken.

    Butt you keep whining about something that has nothing to do with you cuz your life is so empty and devoid of anything useful.

    Keep wasting time on that home version database of Goldy’s HA. You are a leech, sucking on other people.

    The arschloch leech… yeah that’s the ticket!

    You know, I supported Obama’s get out of Iraq and shift the troops to The ‘Stan policy, but now we’re still in Iraq and The ‘Stan is still a mess. I think it’s time to come home. And while we’re at it, our troops aren’t wanted or needed in Okinawa or Greenland and probably a butt load of other places as well. Let’s bring them home and have them spend the rest of their tour of duty helping to rebuild America and then move forward with a much smaller and much cheaper military.

  6. 6

    3 – One more time for benefit of folks who don’t follow old threads:

    You claimed HA lefties MANY TIMES said Bush = Hitler. I did a search and found little to no evidence of this.

    You USED GBS’s words to back it up – without proper attribution. I caught the smarmy move almost immediately.

    You’ve claimed in the past that GBS is your friend despite your ideological differences.

    So is this how you treat your friends? BY STABBING THEM IN THE BACK?

    While you scream and shout Puddy stabbed GBS in the back…

    Uh no fiend. Not just me saying this. GBS SAID IT FIRST.

    Torturing human beings IS not a lawful American tradition. Torture of humans is, at least was, associated with the world’s worst dictators. Now, the Bush/Cheney administration brought us into that disgraceful realm.

    Any Democrat, who authorized its use should also face justice.

    I’ll be taking your knife out of my back now.

    Same link as in comment 1.

  7. 7

    McChrystal needs to go. When military officers think they outrank their civilian commanders, trouble ensues. Sorry, Stan. Plus, how stupid could you be to get drunk with a reporter from Rolling Stone on a road trip?

  10. 10

    Wrong again arschloch leech. Puddy gave a few examples. And Puddy gave the going progressive commentary.

    Such a useless life at home eh arschloch leech?

  11. 11

    I can’t get over the fact that Puddy believes his mama rode dinosaurs. Any leftist who argues climate change or evolution with a dunce like Puddy who believes the earth is 6,000 years old is obviously wasting their time. It’s best just to make fun of him and leave it at that.

    I write my own posts on topics of my own choosing. Isn’t that obvious?

    That said, I did consult with a couple of attorneys, as any non-lawyer should do when writing legal analysis.

    Regarding the numerous Rossi and McKenna vs. Goldmark posts, are you being fed information from another party? If so, has there been a monetary or mutually beneficial non-monetary exchange for posting this information?

    Yet another big-time race with a Democrat Incumbent who is viewed as “the Problem”
    Tea Partiers are very active in Wisconsin and will get plenty of re-enforcements from outside the State (just like Nevada & Washington). Democrat incumbents with power positions must go. The Tea party is looking for high profile victories like this–

    Tuesday, June 22, 2010

    Incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold is still in a virtual dead heat with endorsed Republican challenger Ron Johnson in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race.

    The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state shows Feingold drawing 46% of the vote, while Johnson picks up 45%. Only three percent (3%) would vote for another candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. The two men also were tied in late May, just after Johnson was officially endorsed at the state’s Republican convention.

  15. 15

    I enjoy posting the Rasmussen Poll so you KLOWNS can froth at the mouth and delude yourselves into believing it somehow isn’t accurate. With McChrystal courageously calling ObaMao’s top guys “Clowns”…this ought to get worse.

    When I started calling ObaMao and his henchmen…and any Rootless Atheist Progressive a KLOWN, I didn’t realize it would reach the high status of our esteemed General’s lips.

    Anyway, I expect this +8 Republican generic Poll lead to get bigger very soon what with this “revelation”, the botched BP Scandal void of leadership by ObaMao, the economic plan failing, the majority hating the Health Care Plan etc. etc. etc. etc. Oh and add Supreme Court nominee Kagan’s disrespect & hate for the Military while at Haaaaaavad.
    This is awesome. The Democrat Party self-destructing.

    Monday, June 21, 2010

    Republican candidates now hold an eight-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, June 20.

    A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate, while 36% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent

    @13 The dumbfuck KLOWN is another one of “the earth is 6,000 years old” twits.

    I don’t believe the earth is 6,000 years old.
    And once again, Steve is drunk at 6:30 AM posting nothing of substance and name-calling only. It shows how defeated Steve is.
    Too Damn Funny.

  17. 17

    Hey Steve–
    Spin this into something positive for the Rootless Atheist Progressive Movement!

    Wednesday, June 23, 2010

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 28% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13.

    Thirty-two percent (32%) believe that Canada’s health care system is better than the U.S. system. Most (51%) prefer the U.S. health care system over Canada’s.

    ObaMao cannot get out of negative double-digits on the Strong Approval rating. He’s stuck on negative…just like steve is stuck on stupid!

  18. 18

    ObaMao is like poison ivy for many of the candidates in tight races like Reid, Feingold, Murray etc.
    I hope Murray brings the King of the KLOWNS in along with his l’il whiteguy Joker Biden.
    That ought to help…ROSSI!

  20. 20

    Hey, Puddy, the dumbfuck KLOWN thinks you’re stupid for believing the earth is only 6,000 years old. Are you gonna take that shit??

    Yeah, you’ll take that shit, Puddy. You’ll take it because you’re too much a fucking coward to stand up to one of your own. He just dissed your faith and you’ll have nothing to say, nothing at all. You’ll take it like you take Troll rambling on about “nigger” this and “nigger” that. All you could muster in reply was a “there are white ones too”. You’re fucking pathetic.

    “Hey Steve–”

    Fuck off, KLOWN. You and your wingnut polls don’t amount to shit.

  21. 21

    “drunk at 6:30 AM posting nothing of substance and name-calling only”

    Projection. Obviously a wingnut KLOWN affliction. heh- I hear it’s a Psych 101 thing.

    Puddy, the dumbfuck KLOWN thinks you’re stupid for believing the earth is only 6,000 years old.

    Heh. That’s really funny. I’m sure the next time Dumb and Dumber get together for a confab, they’ll “agree to disagree” on this issue.

    Contentious disagreement would interfere with their mutual passion for surf, turf and right wing bullshit.

    “I’m sure the next time Dumb and Dumber get together for a confab, they’ll “agree to disagree” on this issue.”

    I’m sure their shared belief that Baby Jesus was a hate-filled asswipe teabagger will trump any disagreement they might have as to the age of the earth.

    Conservative First–
    Lee did not answer the question you posed….so the answer is obviously YES!
    The posts are very similiar to posts on other Blogs & Democrat talking points. Hardly a coincidence. Goldy is certainly not a lawyer so this is obviously not his analysis.

  35. 35

    Cynical retches: “With McChrystal courageously calling ObaMao’s top guys “Clowns”…this ought to get worse.”

    You really hate this country and its traditions, don’t you, Cynny? McChrystal clearly crossed the long-honored line between military commanders and civilian leadership and you call him courageous. Why don’t you go live in a country governed by a military junta? That would well suit a fascist like you.

  37. 37

    @35 “Why don’t you go live in a country governed by a military junta? That would well suit a fascist like you.”

    I’ve long suggested Somalia for the KLOWN. Low taxes, no regulations – a wingnut paradise and their model for America’s future.

    Sorry Stan. You’re a hard-core warrior but you have a problem with bucking the chain of command.

    It was going to catch up with you sooner or later.

    Thank you President Obama for confirming that we we’re not supposed to be governed by the warrior caste.

    NEW ORLEANS – Even more oil was gushing into the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday after an undersea robot bumped a venting system, forcing BP to remove the cap that had been containing some of the crude.

    It was yet another setback in the nine-week effort to stop the gusher, and it came as thick pools of oil washed up on Pensacola Beach in Florida and the Obama administration tried to figure out how to resurrect a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling.

    And the righties want deep water drilling to continue without taking a break to go over policies and procedures and so on?

    There’s a good break down of what’s going on at The Oil Drum.

    46 – Tell you what. Next time you see HNMT here, tell him what a fantastic guy Lee is. Sharp as a knife, a great dad, a keen political analyst’s mind.

  48. 48

    Yeah, I’m sure the HNMT would disagree with me on that one.

    “Sharp as a knife, a great dad, a keen political analyst’s mind.”

    All true, I’m sure, but that thing he had going with SJ did strike me as being somewhat, um, out of Melville or something.

    Completely useless as a person
    Useless father figure
    Wears the pink panties and skirt in the house

    Drill, Baby, Drill! indeed.

  56. 56

    If Puddy betrayed him why would he ask to meet for lunch fool?

    Shit, I honestly don’t know. Like I said, I believe he’s a forgiving soul.

    Maybe he believes it’s just the right wing bullshit talking. Like with an alcoholic – it’s just the booze talking.

    He’s able to look past that.

    Me? To me there’s no separating the lying, the name-calling, the mean-spiritedness, the ugly stench of right wing propagandistic mendacity from the blind fool who promulgates it with every fiber of his being.

    Maybe you can go to lunch with Junk-shot (puddybud) and give GBS the grand you owe him.

    He accepted your challenge. You wimped out, remember?

  58. 58

    that thing he had going with SJ did strike me as being somewhat, um, out of Melville or something.

    From the database.. Heh. Wrong fool. It’s from the comment threads. Where anyone can find it if they bother.

    Joe Barton is a low-life shill for the oil companies with an R next to his name..

    If he doesn’t keep his mouth shut, your stupid peeps in the South might not rise out of their Barcaloungers to throw the lever for more oil company shills with R next to their name.

    Joe Barton is ruining the program you dipwad.

  74. 74

    70 – Yeah Michael. Junk shot’s favorite people in whole world, the teabaggers are quite strong in that State.

    Holier than thou and strange behind closed doors. In the case of that woman she couldn’t keep it where the Jones’ couldn’t see it.

  77. 77

    It really galls me that Republicans kept pretty quiet over the McChrystal thing. Ok that was good. Civilians are the boss of the military. A troop crosses the line and he pay the consequences.

    Yet Barton couldn’t do the same before the CEO of the 4th largest company in the world.

    HE PROSTRATED HIMSELF before that scumbag.. And in doing so spoke for MANY if not ALL in his party. Now those fools are scrambling to cover that up.

    Just goes to show who they work for and how they treat the hired help.

    BP is the boss and the U.S. Military keeps the world safe for greedheads like that to pursue their greed agenda to the point of destroying whatever environment that stands in their way.

    ObaMao continues to fumble in the eyes of Real Americans as November quickly approaches.
