This is just one example of many the freakin' lies the Tea Bigots get you gullibles to fall for. Rather than accept just their word for anything, or mine for that fact, take a little time and do your own fact checking on sites of both sides of the political spectrum. Make sure that whatever you read has references, otherwise you don't know if Fox and Friends is lying, exaggerating or simply distorting a story...or not even reporting it. Need an example?
Did any of you Tea Bigots know that there was a Mosque in both World Trade Centers Before 9/11? Here's one link!

Hypocrisy, Monday Edition

By karoli

Yes, it's time for another edition of Republican hypocrisy, and there's plenty of it to go around today. As an added plus, I've got some Tea Party hypocrisy thrown in for flavor.

The Senate GOP signals that they will block all tax initiatives that don't include an extension of Bush tax cuts for the rich before they don't.

An Associated Press story made waves this morning, by claiming that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had received a pledge from every member of his caucus to block tax legislation unless it extends all of the Bush tax cuts, even for the richest Americans.

This morning spokesman Don Stewart told TPM that article is incorrect. "They're correcting this story," Stewart says. "I only said what I've been saying for months: there are no Republicans who support tax hikes (and a growing chorus of Democrats oppose them too)."

Meanwhile, teabagger Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell has sent a written request to Arne Duncan for $249 million in stimulus funds and will be requesting $289 million in Medicaid funds by the end of the month in order to balance the budget, while all the time hammering Democrats for passing the stimulus bill at all. Republicans' claim that government is expanding under the Obama administration is patently false, but they flog it anyway.

For all the hoo-ha over taxes from the Tea Party, it's worth remembering that head teabagger Jenny Beth Martin got a $510,000 bailout from the IRS (not to mention creditors' debt forgiveness) so she could be paid big bucks to spread tea and bile across the nation. Her excuse?

Martin claims that the recession -- and problems with a business partner -- led to the failure of her husband's business. That failure, she claims, led to her bankruptcy and her tax situation. She says those woes make her an "everyday American." But here's the thing: "everyday Americans" don't rack up $510,000 federal tax bills.

Indeed, they don't. It seems that teabagger tax protests involve tax dodges, while the rest of us muddle through without ducking our duty to pay taxes when they're due.

With the daily hypocrisy running rampant in our political news, can someone explain why Democrats don't use it to win the damned election?

Highlands ST E A L S Victory

In a perfect example of the all too frequent misleading, irresponsible reporting by the local tp I’ve been ranting about for a number of years, yet another gem surfaces. Enter: the headline by Bill Beckner, Jr.:
“Highlands STEALS Victory”
Even those with a passing interest in football understand that a headline like that connotes good fortune on the part of a team. In this case the implication was that the Rams were lucky to win …because of their defense; forget about the offense that capitalized on the turnovers; forget about the effort by the offense after those turnovers. Yeah, Highlands was lucky…lucky they only scored 35 points.
Where does the tp get these pseudo news gatherers? Was this guy a gardening cubby who was shipped out by Jeffy at the last minute? Or maybe he’s from Derry Area and was a little embarrassed?
Regardless, the writing for this pseudo newspaper and its pretend editor is, as I’ve said before, not even on a par with some local high school journalism classes.
Instead of praising the effort by the team in the headline (even though the body supported the effort) he chose to undermine their accomplishment with a tacky, Fox-Like misleading headline!
I do have to say though, it’s possible the author is simply “interviewing” for a job with one of the Fox Fictional Departments; like maybe Faux and Friends?

I think the parents of the offense should be outraged by this kind of Fox writing! You know, the same kind of people who were soooo upset that the Prime Ribber was finally, and deservedly, removed from access to all the local eateries!
Let's hear it all you pseudo Tea Footballers! Show up at the next board meeting and let the people know you're upset the way the area learns about Highlands "stealing" a victory. Write letters to the editor of the local tp and express your disappointment over the way they treat your kids!
Yeah! Right! Like that'll happen!

(But don't hold your breath waiting for them to be published!)

Oh and maybe it's time to get a proof reader at the tp? Maybe Jeffy's waiting for a 7th grade intern to replace whoever gets paid to do that job now?

(snip)
"Highlands senior running back and linebacker Terrell Leonard was energetic on both sides of the ball and aruably had his best game for the Rams."

But maybe I'm being too hard on an employed adult since I don't know what grade school he or she went to! More wasted money by Jeffy and Scaiffey on Spell Checkers...unless they don't know how to use them!

Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve gotten some emails asking why I pick on Jeffy Domenick, editor of the local paper. Many have come from new readers, readers that may not be familiar with the paper or maybe they’re just too into Fox News or CNN or even most of the Main Stream Media.
A couple of friends and bloggers on this blog were former School Board members and they’ve told me a lot of what happened at meetings that I didn’t attend. One of the more interesting instances was a meeting to look for a consultant for the school.
No one was offered a job; nothing was discussed that wasn’t brought up at the next public meeting, as prescribed by the Sunshine Law. Yet Judy Wisner in her inimitable fashion ran to the VND to inform them of something she fabricated on the way to the building.
Let me clarify. Judy can’t keep a story straight from one room to the next without embellishment or downright lies, or so says some informed people. Having been to a number of board meetings, hearing her comment, then reading a hack’s report in the paper the next day gives every indication that the person in charge at the VND is so biased as to believe every word she and her queen utter.
That no longer surprises me as is evidenced by the organization that owns the VND, the Trib.
The Trib is an extension of Fox news whether in actual legal fact or by virtue of releasing the warped views of its radical Right Wing Owner. Fox, and through its association with the Trib and VND, was granted a decision by Bush’s Radical Right Wing Supreme Court that “allows a news organization, newspaper or any publicly presented dissemination of information” to lie, yes, that’s right, the SCOTUS said Fox can lie and make up and slant news stories you see, hear and read. It’s no wonder that the local editor can not only pick what he wants you to read but decide how to write it whether it’s factual or not.
Recently, the VND through its parent company the Trib, decided to sue the Highlands School Board for conducting an executive meeting the Trib felt violated the Sunshine Law. They lost. The decision was based on fact. The VND appealed and two Republican appointed judges legislated from the bench against the School Board. Rather than reading the actual fact of the Sunshine law, those two judges went so far as to offer THEIR interpretation of it further adding opinion unbecoming such a position.
In the Initial, 2007, tear-jerking incident by the VND, the Sunshine Law was quite clear about executive meetings in that they can be held for informational gathering for personal, disciplinary, employment or preliminary discussions on upcoming agendas. It specifically does not allow any vote on any issue in executive session and matters relating to anything other than the above must be presented at the next public meeting…which they were (in the case of nick Staresenic). There was NO VOTE!
The VND’s cubby reporter and Dodge City Lawyer opened their mouths about the incident. The former left out and ignored facts. The latter, offered ethically questionable advice through the paper. Timmy McCue decided to sue the board and eventually dropped the suit. I can only surmise from speaking with a number of other lawyers that he had no grounds…which he didn’t.
The second suit was appealed by the VND because their pride was hurt again. It’s my understanding that it will be appealed again to a higher, probably more competent, court.
The VND has claimed to be concerned with the public interest and has on numerous occasions, blasted the Chris Salego Board for its decisions concerning funds. Of course, Jeffy Domenick and the VND NEVER had a bad word to say about Karen Wantland's Board and her decision to waste tax payer money on a Taj Mahal Football Stadium that was going to bring in sooo much revenue for the district. (How’s that working out, Karen?)
But we have a situation in Blawnox where a racist Napoleonic (don’t just think of racism as black and white) chairs a council. He made absolutely improper and degrading comments about a person and their ethnicity and thinks himself above foreigners. Do we need this kind of hate filled profiling in this area? I’ll have more on this a little later but the point is that the VND which should be suing the Blawnox Council over violations of the Sunshine Act seems to be ignoring the matter.
It looks for all the world as though the only concern Jeffy has about concerns or legality is against a few members of the Highlands School Board, who aren’t even members any longer.
Hey Jeffy, why aren’t you doing anything about it? You had no problem spending Highlands’ residents tax money on a frivolous suit claiming the public’s right to know what goes on in meetings. Yet with an obvious violation of the Sunshine Act in Blawnox, you choose to sit on your ass and do nothing. Maybe you have some friends on the Blawnox Council and don’t want to embarrass them? OR are you just that incompetent.
That my dear readers is just one of the reasons I pick on poor ol’ Jeffy. He’s a hypocrite.
