In case my enemies are interested in knowing what I look like, I’ll be on Seattle Voices with Eric Liu tonight at 8:00 PM, on The Seattle Channel, channel 21.
Or so I’m told. I don’t actually have cable.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?

Has anybody poked Kenny Lay’s body yet, to make sure he’s dead?

Hey Goldy, maybe if I call in to your radio show a little earlier than 9:57 PM, I might get on the air — huh?
TODAY’S LESSON IN HYPOCRISY
For the last year, we’ve been forced to listen to Dino LOSSI’s fans rant about King County votes they claim magically appeared out of nowhere to put Gregoire over the top.
If they were consistent, they would be ranting this morning about the apparent robbery down in Mexico, where that Obrador guy and his supporters are complaining about 2.5 million “votes” they claim magically appeared out of nowhere to bring his opponent from behind into the lead.
But wait! Obrador is a lefty who wants to help the POOR! That makes everything different! Our resident trollfucks are willing to wail and gnash their teeth only when the rightwing candidate is perceived to be getting fucked over — in which case they shamelessly shill away, with no evidence, no facts, no reality to back their assertions.
But when it comes to a lefty candidate and his supporters getting fucked over — no matter how compelling the evidence — they’re shameless apologists for election fraud and theft.
Why? For many reasons:
They’re dishonest.
They have no morals.
They only care about power.
They want power for selfish ends.
They’re liars.
They’re thugs.
They want to bring back slavery.
and, above all, they’re
CHEAP LABOR CONSERVATIVES
“When you cut right through it, right-wing ideology is just ‘dime-store economics’ – intended to dress their ideology up and make it look respectable. You don’t really need to know much about economics to understand it. They certainly don’t. It all gets down to two simple words. ‘Cheap labor’. That’s their whole philosophy in a nutshell … cheap-labor conservatives are defenders of corporate America – whose fortunes depend on labor. … The more desperately you need a job, the cheaper you’ll work …. If you are a wealthy elite – or a ‘wannabe’ like most dittoheads – your wealth, power and privilege is enhanced by a labor pool, forced to work cheap.
“Cheap-labor conservatives don’t like the minimum wage, or other improvements in wages and working conditions. … Cheap-labor conservatives like ‘free trade’, NAFTA, GATT, etc. … (b)ecause there is a huge supply of desperately poor people in the third world, who … will work cheap. … Cheap-labor conservatives don’t like unions … (b)ecause when labor ‘sticks together’, wages go up. …
“Cheap-labor conservatives support every right-wing authoritarian hoodlum in the third world. Cheap-labor conservatives support foreign assassinations, covert intervention in foreign countries, and every other ‘black bag’ operation the CIA can dream up, even against constitutional governments, elected by the people of those countries … cheap-labor conservatives have a peculiar definition of ‘freedom’. I mean, just what do these guys consider to be ‘tyranny’…. Take a look. ‘Social spending’ … (w)hile they don’t mind tax dollars being used for killing people, using their taxes to feed people is ‘stealing’. Minimum wage laws. Every piece of legislation ever proposed to improve working conditions…. Labor unions, who ‘extort’ employers … public education … (c)ivil rights legislation … (p)ublic broadcasting…. See the pattern? Cheap-labor conservatives support every coercive and oppressive function of government, but call it ‘tyranny’ if government does something for you ….
“Even here, cheap-labor conservatives are complete hypocrites. Consider the following expenditures: 150 billion dollars a year for corporate subsidies. 300 billion dollars a year for interest payments on the national debt – payments that are a direct transfer to wealthy bond holders, and buy us absolutely nothing…. That’s all in addition to the Defense budget – large chunks of which go to corporate defense contractors. Is the pattern becoming clearer? These cheap-labor Republicans have no problem at all opening the public purse for corporate interests. It’s ‘social spending’ on people who actually need assistance that they just ‘can’t tolerate.'”

So why are the CHEAP LABOR CONSERVATIVES worried about who wins in Mexico? Why, because of cheap labor, of course. If the government there actually does something for poor people, Mexico’s masses of poor might want to get paid more than $1.25 a day for making cars that used to be made by American union labor. The American appliance manufacturer who closed his plant because the governor of Michigan refused his demand that the state pay his workers’ wages also is using cheap Mexican labor now. These guys don’t want a socialist government in Mexico. They only want a socialist government in America (limited to corporate socialism, of course).
Yes, folks, the wingers are interested in Mexico’s election — and will steal it if they can — because they want Mexico to remain a corrupt corporate playground where anything goes and above all labor is CHEAP. They can’t stand the idea of a Mexican economy without serfs. That’s why they’ll fuck with the Mexican election if they can get away with it.
Bravo Roger, well said.
#2 “Has anybody poked Kenny Lay’s body yet, to make sure he’s dead?”
No need to, just wait a few days & he`ll arise & save the Repugs from their own corruption (at least King George hopes so)
Why should liberals care if rightwing thugs steal Mexico’s elections? Here are some reasons why:
Because liberals ought to care about exploited poor people, wherever they are, on general principle.
Because if rightwing thugs can keep Mexico’s masses poor, so they have a large pool of cheap labor right next door, they will eliminate American family-wage jobs and move the work to Mexico.
Because if rightwing thugs succeed in keeping Mexico’s masses poor, in order to have access to serf labor, desperate Mexicans will continue pouring over the border into the U.S. in order to survive, bloating our population and straining our public services.
Because they’re assholes, and we ought to despise them for being despicable, on general principles.
There’s more reasons, but this should be sufficient to get a discussion started.
Hey, Goldie, what’s the agenda for tonight’s show? Were you invited on to discuss local politics in general, or because of the school closure issue?
From a small note in today’s P.I.:
“U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert takes listener calls on “Weekday” at 9 a.m. Friday on KUOW-FM (94.9)”
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/.....eat06.html
Now, I’m sure that Reichert will not have agreed to take calls on the radio without having Republican operatives already lined up to flood the call boards with “Doing a GREAT JOB, Dave….!” and “Why are the Democrats such fools….” sort of calls. He may even have a few set to call in on a back line with calls designed to allow him to talk about his rehersed “messages”, such as “Tell us about your “suburban gang initiative”, Sherriff Dave…”.
But what if a couple of hundred of us called in, asking him some truely substantive questions: like asking him to explain why he publically stated that he only votes the way the Republican Congressional leadership tells him to?
Amy Chua in her book World on Fire does an excellent job tracking the corruption involved in supposedly democratic countries where appropriation of wealth by market dominant minorities and the disproporionate political power they gain as a result disenfranchises the majority. This, she says, is what accounts for the violence and unrest in the developing world.
In a great deal of the cases she outlines, the accumulation of that wealth starts with crime, usually drug running. She cites examples in Indochina, Russia, Sierra Leone, Bolivia and the Middle East.
Her overall point is that globalization is a bad deal for developing countries, because it stirs up ethnic strife by creating tiny oligarchies that prey on the less well off.
I think she pulls her punch, though, when she asserts that the redistributive mechanisms, like Social Security, we have implemented have staved off similar violence and divisions.
That may have been so in the past, but we are headed for the same fate.
Actually, it appears that this will be repeated many times:
The summer just keeps getting worse for the libs…
1. you America Haters had to grit your teeth in the face of all that July 4 patriotism
2. Al Zaqari DEAD
3. TWO more courts say NYET to homo-marriage… one of them the from the oh so elitist and enlightened New York and that just rumps the predictable “redneck Georgia God” rants!
4. No charges for Limbaugh… because he did NOTHING ILLEGAL
5. Conservative wins in Mexico
6. No more Ken Lay to kick around!
7. No Fitzmas regarding Rove.
8. His own cut and run party showed Kerry what an ASS he truly is.
9. McGavick moving UP while CantWalkandChewgumWell is still trying to figure out what, if anything, she stands for.
10. The Cotton Candy Debutante is still MIA in the 8th… and everywhere evidently… ‘hey Henry… where’s that birth vehicle of yours??’
11. Texas redistricting held up.
12. The NYT finally excoriated for being the traitors they are.
13. Ann Coulter is STILL Number 1 on NYT best seller list and Publishers Weekly Best Seller list (although admittedly I haven’t seen this weeks PW yet).
14. Joblessness keeps going down.
15. The Dipsy Chicks and Babs the Boob Streisand can’t seem to sell and tickets (refer to #1)
The only bad news is that the Frog Cowards advance to the finals in the Worls Cup.
# 14:
Funny, the Texas redistricting opinion is a two-edged sword for the Republicans. First, they will, indeed, have to redesign two Congressional districts, under court supervision, because the Court found the redistricting in those areas to be racially motivated.
Secondly, the SCOTUS decision says there is no prohibition against redistricting at any time, not just after the decinial census. So when the Democrats win big in 2006, they can redistrict to their heart’s content! Suddenly a lot of those Republican seats don’t look so safe anymore – everybody is in play!
A marginal 1 out of 15….LMAO
So, Florida will not prosecute Limabaugh. Big surprise (not). As I mentioned in another post (I think on the day he was detained by U.S. Customs), if it was me (or just about anybody else), we would still be in jail, under investigation or while being charges.
But while the Florida authorities don’t see anything wrong with (a) traveling outside the U.S. while on supervised release under a deferred prosecution, and (b) being in possession of drugs not prescribed to a Limbaugh, while Limbaugh is on deferred prosecution for using others to get drugs for him; the REAL investigators are hard at work, trying to find out exactly WHAT Limbaugh was doing in the Dominican Republic that required him to carry at least 29 Viagra pills with him (the amount left over AFTER he returned to the U.S.). No word so far of where he was staying or what activities he was engaged in, but The Smoking Gun has compelled the release of the passenger manifest, showing that Limbaugh was on an airplane owned by Premier Radio Networks (his syndicator), and that the “stag party” on board included two crew members and five passengers (including Limbaugh), and two of those passengers were executive producers of Fox’s “24” series.
Of course, nothing illegal or improper about any of that. But it still begs the question: what did Rush need with the Viagra pills on the trip, that he was willing to go to considerable trouble to have prescribed to him in such a risky way, and to take them on a trip with him which would require him to cross international boarders twice with them in his possession?
Stay tuned, kids, more info is sure to follow.
The only bad news is that France advanced in the world cup?
Wow, Proudass, you sure have some HUGE blinders on these days!
It would suck to be an ideologue like you, spending your waking hours fawning over Eva Braun opportunists like Ann Coulter.
Looks like (the remaining tiny sliver of) Bush’s base is still suffering from acute myopia!
Limbaugh probably threatened to sick his William Kennedy Smith lawyer on the County Prosecutor again.
Now I know why Proudass, MTR and all those other racist, anti-semites trolls like to insert “Kennedy” in their screen names. It’s a tribute to Rush’s expensive lawyer!
Now I know why Proudass, MTR and all those other racist, anti-semites trolls like to insert “Kennedy” in their screen names.
Commentby LiberalRedneck […………………………No, It’s a “tribute” to the raping, killing [Mary Jo] POS Kennedys and the dumb ass Democrats who vote for them. Is that now clear?]
Ann Coulter: Republican babe Cindy McKinney: Democrat babe Get the difference?
I’m not a huge fan of France – get over it.
LA FORTUNA MIGLIORE A ITALIA AMATA
Goldy,
Boy — you look terrible on TV…even worse than listening to you on the radio (painful with that shrill voice). Stick with the blogging, man!
Did he do that whole updown downup sing-song music talk thing he does with his voice?
Crackhead and Proud Asshole,
Funny, we don’t see you out there backing up your beliefs, making a difference, creating ideas, engaging in intelligent conversation. All we see is you proving day after day, post after post, just how cowardly and ignorant you really are. See my name at the end of this post. See Goldy’s name all over this blog, TV and radio. Well, when you can man up and match that (I can’t match Goldy’s gift for writing, but I can stand up and be counted with him.
The only thing you two do is count up your posts and masturbate to the total. In the end, you just left standing with your small dicks in your hand.
Carl Grossman
Democrat, Proud and unwilling to take it from RightWingNuts any more.
Excuse me??? How exactly would you know whether or not I’m “out there backing up your beliefs, making a difference, creating ideas, engaging in intelligent conversation.”
You don’t know me, you wouldn’t know me if I came up and kicked you in the ass. You blabber on like these amusing little posts are definitive of a well-rounded, well-lived life. I could be your neighbor, your kids teacher, your dental hygienist, that kids that makes your latte or your wife’s and/or boyfriend’s cousin.
Goldstein puts his name on his blog … get this now… BECAUSE IT’S HIS BLOG; it’s monumentally self-serving, he makes money on the ads and he USED it to get himself a job. Fair enough.
I can’t imagine what purpose other than extreme narcissism posting your name serves, if that is indeed your name. Who knows, who cares?
So you’re “unwilling to take it from RightWingNuts any more”… whoop de friggin do… what’s ‘big bad you’ gonna do… hurl a few more insults and epithets??? OOOH BIG BAD YOU, we’re so intimidated…. or would be if we weren’t laughing so hard at your moronic hysterics.
26 Moonbats like “Carl Grossman” have their own sick view of what constitutes courage. They are so self-absorbed that they think that posting on a blog with a fake name is actually courage, and that their half-baked Marxist drivel actually makes a difference. Their heroes are traitors like Cindy Sheehan and Lt. Watada; real heros like Patton and MacArthur,who gave them their right to spew anti-American trash on blogs, are considered racists and warmongers. They are so consumed by guilt and self-hatred that their prime target is not the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan, but their own country. That’s their idea of courage.
americafirst-
When did you serve? as in, wear the uniform.
You don’t get to decide who is a traitor and who isn’t.
Douglas MacArthur was a megomaniacal cocksucker who nearly started a nuclear war with China. Harry Truman had the guts to fire him.
As for Patton; he was a Nazi sympathizer after the war and a committed racist. He thought blacks could never be soldiers and said this about Jews:
“We entered a synagogue which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. Either these Displaced Persons never had any sense of decency or else they lost it all during their period of interment by the Germans…My personal opinion is that no people could have sunk to the level of degradation these have reached in the short space of four years.”
Couple of patriots, alright.
Goldy, we’re not your enemies. I remember what you looked like from before. It’s the voice… reminds me of Gilbert Gottfried!
REPUBLICANS DEFEND TRANSGENDER ANN COULTER AND YET THEY HATE GAYS?
WHY DO REPUBLICANS HATE GAYS AND DEFEND TRANSGENDER GOT A MAN SIZED ADAMS APPLE COULTER?
Man, the enviousness of these wingnuts is really kind of poingnant.
After a decade and more of Limbaugh, O’Reilly, and Hannity nationwide conjoined with the local Wilbur/Carlson zoo at KVI, an entertaining, intelligent and popular local voice comes out of the left and they are sore afraid (in a biblical sense, see Numbers 22:3).
Of course they don’t recognize this fearsome quality they cower from in Goldy, having been desensitized by the n’eer do wells from the right. Those losers who couldn’t make it elsewhere in media.
It’s called talent.
BTW, good job on the Seattle Channel.
Wait until the state income tax goes through, if there isn’t vitriol enough here for you now.

I wonder how upset americafirst is when Max Cleland, John Kerry and, now, Jack Murtha are villified as traitors.
