Reince is having a sad, and cheapshotBob gives us links to scary, SCARY Hillary movie from…Citizens United. I loved the storm clouds in the background!
Reince is trying to find a way to pull the clown car that is the Republican primary off the national stage – and what better way to do it than have a tantrum alleging favorable coverage for Hillary from the “LIBTARD MSM!!”
Wasn’t Citizens United about corporations having to freedomz! to broadcast anything they damn well please? Aren’t CNN and NBC corporations?
Cheapshot, you are just a laugh a minute.

How about if NBC and CNN cut off the GOP from air time? Republicans need them more than they need Republicans.

Really? Here’s what’s obvious to everyone except a civics illiterate like you:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Read that, then explain to me where FEC has authority to issue orders to NBC and CNN about what they must cover, report on, print, or broadcast.
Idiot.

Actually, that ‘Get a job.’ smarmy comment McKenna made turned me off from his campaign and I stopped supporting him at that point. Learned about that right here on HA.
Also, Obama did the same thing a couple of weeks ago – they kept out some right-leaning student reporter group (of course I can’t recall exactly what it was) and I also said nothing.
My indignation had to do with dumbfuck RR’s suggestion that equal air time not be provided to GOP candidates. I’m sure air time wasn’t in the Constitution, so I’d have to retort to dumbfuck RR’s First Amendment quotation @ 9
with something out of the Fourteenth.
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
…
SECTION 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Seems relevant.
The Australian Election is on for September 7th after all. After ousting Prime Minister Gillard in a party-riom vote, former PM Kevin Rudd has caused a big bounce in the polls, both a gain in the primary vote, and parity on two party prefered vote. In May, both of those had the opposition Liberal and National parties in such a commanding lead, Members of the House of Representatives from the Governing party were packing up their offices in Canberra.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.....ct_of_1934
As far as which Article or Amendment in the Constitution contains the explicit authority granted to Congress, dumbfuck RR @ 9, I assume it’s in the same Article as those rights to privacy and to abortion. Since I’m a ‘civics illiterate’, I couldn’t find those rights specifically enumerated.
@ 12
Are you really promoting the idea that Corporations and Political Parties are States?
The GOP has no right to demand “equal time” for any broadcast service after they got rid of the Fairness Doctrine. If I owned a large network like that, Conservatives wouldn’t even be reported on except for the constant scandals they seem to get mixed up in. I’d report every connection to the Banks and Multinational conglomerates, and I’d report on every Swiss bank account, and every goddamn time one of them walked out on a restaurant or hotel bill which they seem to do with alarming regularity.
Fuck the GOP. They’re the party of crazy, stupid, greedy and mean. Just because someone seems to have perfectly coiffed hair, wears their alleged “faith” on their sleeve and they all seem to be wearing $10,000 suits doesn’t mean they aren’t thieves. Quite the opposite in fact. You cannot present yourself as a “candidate for the people” when you’re wearing a $150,000 wristwatch while making speeches about how everyone should just tighten their belts.
NBC and CNN have to do the will of the republicans, but FOX news can show what ever it wants.
Really come back when you can make sense and be fair and balanced.

Our government should NOT be spying on it’s citizens.
And to cut you off before you all use the “If you are not doing something wrong, you should mind being watched” argument, Just because something is legal NOW, doesn’t mean it’s not illegal in the next administration. I’m a gay man, I remember stories of how it was illegal to dance with person of the same gender in bars. Look at the changes in Russia. What if the next admin thinks it’s perfectly fine to coordinate with it’s favorite donor corporations and blacklist every employee who has ever posted something that is pro union.
@ 17
I don’t see Michelle Obama going around telling everyone within earshot how “Christian” she is. She’s not an elected official. Besides, if she didn’t have well-dressed hair and nice clothes, you Fascisti would have a field day with that. It’s bad enough you assholes make a point of talking about her ass, as though that the most important aspect of her persona.
I don’t see Barack Obama wearing a gold Patek Philippe Celestial, the way Mittens does.

Is it acceptable for Fox to not broadcast the president’s entire speech?
Do you think Fox has the right to choose what it shows and doesn’t show?

Since when do Fascists understand the need for basic reading comprehension? Half their fucking electorate are functionally illiterate.

(Trigger Serial “won’t pay his debt’s” Conn’s glee in 3. 2. 1.)
@ 23
Um, what speech?
Over the weekend I saw two headlines about Michelle’s birthday Tweet to Barack.
After I pulled my head out of the toilet I realized that we didn’t see tweets from George W. to Laura, although very few were tweeting 5-6 years ago. We certainly saw fewer woman’s magazines with First Lady splashed on the cover, GQ spreads of Barack, and Oprah/Leno visits by the first couple.
If Fox doesn’t broadcast Barack 24/7, that’s their choice. Now, when they cut out of a big game before it’s over…..
@12 Hey armchair lawyer, what “privileges and immunities” are you talking about? The Fairness Doctrine, perchance? If so, my retort would be, I thought your crowd was against that and went to court to block it.
So, Cereal seems to think the government can order NBC and CNN to broadcast coverage of GOP rallies, candidates, and campaigns.
If I’ve misunderstood what the law is, and FEC can do that, then I want to talk with FEC about Fox News.
Until now, the system in this country has always been that if you don’t like how the other guy’s newspaper reports political news, your recourse is to start your own frikken newspaper.
In the Australian Election, the Liberals and Nationals have the lions share of seats in Western Australia,cand the House Seat in the Northern Territory. They have the state governments in the three states on the Eastern Seaboard, but the LNP government in Queensland is losing support, and the Liberals in Victoria jave ousted one premier already. It could flow up, and the minor parties, where they put their preferences is important, as for it to be a valid vote, all candidates have to be ranked. Also, the Liberals can’t pick their voters by hampering their opponents voters ability to vote claiming voter fraud, Voting is compulsory, and the election is overseen by the Australian Election Commission.
Cereal is off to a good start today. Rarely has he been in such superb form.
@26. Ok, you have established that you don’t want repercussions if “If Fox doesn’t broadcast Barack 24/7, that’s their choice.” Then it’s up to NBC and CNN to air Clinton programs, that’s their choice, and there should not be repercussions. Cause if Fox can air or not air with impunity, so should the other networks.
Republicans got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, remember?
@15 “Are you really promoting the idea that Corporations and Political Parties are States?”
Yeah, that’s what he’s saying. Why not? “Corporations are people, too,” so why can’t they also be “states?”
I would argue that Cereal calling me a “dumbfuck” involves a certain amount of literary license.
@17 “me saying “If I were married to Jennifer Aniston…””
Now here’s an interesting proposal! She has a lot of trouble hanging onto guys (for what Mrs. Rabbit assures me are very good reasons). Looks like we’ve found one who wants her. Somebody call her agent!
@26 “If Fox doesn’t broadcast Barack 24/7, that’s their choice.”
BINNGGGOOOOOO!!!!! Now explain to us again why that doesn’t apply to NBC and CNN if they don’t want to broadcast GOP whining, sniveling, and bullshitting.
And now for something completely different.
Of the new doctor who doctors, David Tennant then Christopher Eccleston were my favorites. This new guy looks interesting.
The last couple of episode sets have been getting kind of dreary. For me, it wasn’t so much the actor’s fault, as the stories were consistently lame. I’m getting tired of Executive producer Steven Moffat guidance. It feels like he’s run out of good stories arcs he wants to tell, and he’s just coasting. Still, of the last set, I though Hide was a fun episode, and so was The Crimson Horror.
I voted.
Nathan Schlicher will be a boring, but adequate, non-boat rocking state senator. Which isn’t much of an endorsement, but it’s better than Jan Angel who’s a highly partisan member of the far right and, based on the interactions I’ve had with her over the years, also dumber than a cabbage.
My 10 year old asked if Mayor McGinn won a second time, would that be “McGinn Again”?

Today’s commute in the Bay Area could have been worse, as BART Strike Part II was about to happen. Marathon negotiations began to stall last night. Literally atthe eleventh hour, Governor Jerry Brown imposed a 7 day cooling off period, at BART management requear. In June, the unions asked for a 60 day cooling off period, and he refused.
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.c.....id-strike/
While the Board of Investigators looks into the situation, no strikes or lockouts can occur. Ironically, the two sides agreed on one thing earlier in the week, they both opposed a San Francisco Supervisor’s suggestion that a ban on strikes, such as what is in place for San Francisco Municipal Railway bus, streetcar, and cable car drivers. The Supervisor’s name was the same last name as a certain NYC mayoral candidate.

You dismiss the MediaMatters story out of hand without any information as to a perceived bias. What exactly was incorrect about the story? Did Fox cut away from Obama’s speech while CNN and MSNBC continued with the speech or not? That question is not colored by partisan bias, it’s either true or it’s not. You have failed to demonstrate where the falsehood is.
WOW! Smarmy? That is just too precious for words.. Dr. Carlos Dimbulb taking offense at a Republican goobernatorial candidate directing sharp words at a woman asking him a question about abortion legislation..

It is imperative that Schlicer win and Angel lose that seat, for those reasons as well as maintaining (and not backsliding) in terms of Democrats in the State Senate.

You are correct, I have failed to demonstrate bias by mediamatters.org in that @ 18 comment.
Similarly, I need not demonstrate on a daily basis that water is wet. I need only avoid showering after dressing.
I note that ABC and CBS were not mentioned. Did they cover it? How about CNBC? Was it covered in its entirety?
Did Team Obama request airtime for the speech? It’s generally considered optional to cover something that isn’t specifically requested for live TV coverage by the White House.
Fox continued the coverage on its business channel. Are they obligated to anchor themselves to a droning speech that breaks new ground? What pivot-to-jobs number is this for President Pirouette, 19?

I noticed that on the Light Rail issue, some of the Mayoral challengers said that they would just use the Sound Transit plan. I was wondering if they know that as mayor, they get a seat on the board. They are allotted by sub-area, with the three subareas in King County chosen by the King County Executive, although the Seattle mayor usually gets one seat from the Seattle-Norh King subarea.
In Los Angeles, the two mayoral candidates in the runoff, had differing opinions on how transit riders in South LA will be heard. One candidate said she would take their concerns into account, while Eric Garcetti said he would appoint someone from South LA to the MTA board. Garcetti won. When it comes to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority board of directors, the Maor gets one seat, and appoints three more. Garcetti has appointed a city councilmember who represents South LA to the board.

In Australia, the focus of the election coverage will be the Labor, Liberals, Nationals, and a few smaller parties like the Greens, Democratic Labor, Family First, Katter’s Australian Party(named after the independent MP who atarted it), but there are a lot of issue-oriented microparties. They got names like the Wikileaks Party, Liberals for Forests, Bullet Trains for Australia, Shooters/Outdoor Recreation, and even the Sex Party.

@49 Obama’s jobs record is better than your organ grinder monkey’s. But that’s not hard to do. There isn’t a single GOP president since Harding whose jobs record has bested that of any Democrat since then. In other words, the worst Democrats are better than the best Republicans at creating jobs. Did Milton Friedman ever figure out how to explain that away?

WTF does that have to do with anything. If history is correct, Mitt Romney earned his money, not by being a community organizer or involved in politics on the guvmint dole like Obummer.
Another specious and worthless argument!
Fascist Pigsty is blind to biases of CNN and NBC knowingly and willingly choosing to stick with Hillary cheer leading. So then how can they be neutral political brokers in 2016? We already viewed Candy Crowley in a 2012 debate and then she chose to retract it “after” the election, not before.
Once again HA librul leftist moonbats display their true colors.
Who knows? ABC and CBS don’t have 24 hour cable news stations like FOX, MSNBC and CNN. Most of the broadcast networks are showing Oprah, or soaps or game shows during the afternoon and leave policy speeches to the cable news networks and CSPAN. But Fox viewers, who couldn’t give a shit what happens outside the borders of the US, suddenly need to know the name of the new British prince? Name one time where CNN or MSNBC cut away from a Bush speech to cover a Michael Jackson story.
Do you even know how these speeches are handled by the White House? The networks are given a heads up as to how long the speech will last and even a copy of the speech. Fox could have just declined from the start to show it on their main channel and only on their business channel, but to start airing the speech, then cut away when their Neanderthal viewers’ attention span craters is just plain rude. It’s called respect for the office:

Unless you count that $1.5B from the US Treasury that Mitt got to run the Olympics. He would have you believe that he did it all with private donations. And don’t forget that cheap land that he and his buddies bought in the Utah boonies, then later sold at a profit after the taxpayers built nearby roads to get the fans out to the ski slopes. Mitt suckered the US government into handing out $1.5B, now that’s a hell of an organizer.

@ 63 the Liar and imbecile
Do you know HOW he “earned” that money? He laundered the funds looted out from the National Treasuries of Nicaragua and El Salvador by the Somozas and the Plutocrats that “owned” all the damn land that everyone had to live on. He made another fortune laundering money into the NYSE and the NASDAQ from the Cali and Medellin Cartels.

Thank God for Team Obama and all those green jobs:
Estimates given to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts back in September 2012 demonstrated that General Motors loses $49,000 on each Chevy Volt it manufactures. Those numbers may be on the conservative side because there are leasing deals offered this summer where customers are paying a little over $5K for a two year lease on the Volt which costs as much as $89K to build.

$49K. That’s nearly what the government loses on YLB each year.

Woo-hoo! Go red state Real America! You show those dirty, touchy-feely, liberals how it’s done.
If a man wants to blow up his dog with an illegal firework that’s his right. He owns the dog doesn’t he? That dog is his property and he can do whatever he damn well pleases with his property! It even says so in the constitution!
@95 still haven’t proven Puddy wrong! That’s the Roger SENILE DUMBASS and LUNATIC Rabbit way! Don’t let facts stand in the way of a worthless personal attack.
A U.S. Representative from Maine has filed a bill, in the wake of the Lac Megantic disaster, requiring two person crews on freight trains. The other rep from Maine is a cosponsor. While I am for the mandate on trains carrying hazardous cargo, I am against it on all freight trains. There are some operations that do a good job with one man crews. The Indiana Railroad does well with one-man crews, and by the way, it is a union shop.

A suburb of Dayton, Ohio is trying to stop the Miami Valley Regional Transportation Authority from adding three stops in their town, one of which would serve Wright State University. One of the conditions was each stop have shelters with heating and air conditioning, and of course the MVRTA could not meet those demands, and the permits were denied. The suburb is mostly white, most of the bus riders are black.

In other news the FBI got some splaining to do. No wonder Bob Mueller left.

Amusing stuff. Anyone we know?
The only think I could add would be for the type that pretends to be intellectual and reasonable and then spouts stuff from 1-5, but in subversive careful words so they can claim that you misunderstood or it was a joke.
Yawwwn. Here we go again with Dr. Dimbulb and his obsession with the Volt. Dimbulb says he doesn’t watch Faux Snooze Channel. yeah right..
So? The Volt project got the green light before the great recession from a right wing CEO who is a climate science denier. It’s private capital’s choice on the time they decide to cut their losses short.
And the GM bailout was a Bush administration initiative.
I suppose Dr. Dimbulb would have rather had GM go through the “bankruptcy process” as recommended by Willard R-Money and the Volt go on the chopping block..
Hmmm. Too bad it didn’t.. We might have a Democratic majority in Congress and more Democratic governors in the Midwest. That’s where right wing plans usually lead, i.e. “Herbert Hoover time”.
And we wouldn’t have to listen to Dr Dimbulb’s silly whining about the Volt in these threads..
But we’d also have massive poverty in the Midwest i.e. more mess to clean up than the Republicans made in the first place. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
Historical Revisionism again from the unemployed moron!
First off it’s funny to see Ha’s unemployed idiot cheerleading GM…
Puddy thought HA’s unemployed moron was against ALEC?
So what Bob Lutz is a climate denier? Puddy thought as Americans you had the right to free think and free speech? Well if you are an unemployed moron that isn’t a right.
Yes the GM Bailout was Bush’s idea. Looks like it’s time to prove HA’s unemployed moron wrong again. BTW this is covered multiple times in the crazed databaze. It had stipulations
which Obummer changed once he became preznit. Now who changed the loan terms unemployed moron? Obummer did to help his union pals.
The cost lost leader, The Chevy Volt is fact; things that the unemployed moron want you not to know or to skip over.
111 – ZZzzzzZZZZzzzz… Moronic non-sequituurs from our goto nincompoop for laughs around here..
Jobs were saved in the Midwest during the worst downturn in history that happened on a jerk right wing Preznit’s watch.. Period…
What was the right wing solution? Touted by the Republican pretender in 2012?
BANKRUPTCY!
Enough said!
Damn straight moronic one..
Yet GM employs union labor unlike foreign manufacturers producing in right to work for less states..
If I was in the market for a vehicle, I’d be loud and clear about GM exiting from the odious ALEC.
Oh.. That’s all I said fool.. What was “wrong” about that?
What a silly dope.. Blathering stupidly about perfectly legitimate deals made after the economy ruining warmongering creep administration shuffled off to Buffalo.
