Beck: Obama, Rahm Emanuel "brought" "baseball bat" to Washington to govern using "the Chicago way"

We're caught in a crossfire of personal attacks, where beck and limbaugh (and others) say things about Obama and Pelosi and Reid, and then MMFA fires back, citing beck and limbaugh, and putting the things they've said about Obama and Reid and Pelosi, putting them in quotation marks, like "There, we showed them! We repeated what they said, I bet they never expected that!"

Is it really true, that there's no such thing as bad publicity?

And if all publicity is good publicity, then beck and limbaugh must be great, because they're the most famous people in the world, or at least in the world according to MMFA.

Excuse the sarcasm, but to make an analogy, to invoke an image, if I see a dog digging away furiously out in the back yard, I maybe think he's onto something, he's going to dig something up... but as he digs hole after hole, and digs up nothing, and flushes no bird or fox or coon, but just makes a dirty mess of the back yard, I then think the dog is maybe scatter-brained or something, because he's just wasting his time with dirt...

Dirt Dirt and more Dirt.

Where's the misinformation?

beck made references to the movie "The Untouchables"?

limbaugh said "gulag"?

That's publicity for those guys, if somebody wasn't repeating that stuff, then those guys wouldn't be earning their money...

Except for the insults and innuendo, it's a vacuum in here.

A "theoretical bat" which gets "theoretical hits", and then "theoretical base runners" race around the bases, scoring "theoretical runs"...

And the dreamy sorts who do all this theorizing, they stand there gazing at their own imaginations, while the rest of us are befuddled, as we see no hits and no runs, just errors, and not "theoretical errors" but real ones.

Everybody knows the movie "On The Waterfront", but not everybody knows that Elia Kazan, the director and co-author of the movie, was really upset by the fact that lots of folks in Hollywood were calling him a rat and a fink, just because when was called to testify before the HUAC, he named names.

Well, he didn't think he was being a rat or a fink, and to illustrate his thoughts, he makes a movie where a meat-head named Terry Malloy is being asked to testify before a Commission, and at first he thinks that would be ratting and finking, but then he see's the light (plus he's bothered by the fact that he got Joey Doyle up onto the roof for the thugs who threw him off it), and so Terry Malloy not only testifies, he names names, he says "Sure, Johnny Friendly, he's the one!"

And then later, when called a rat and a fink by his ex-friends, Terry says "I'm glad what I done!"

And even Elia Kazan admitted that yes, those words of Terry's were in that movie, because they were his words too... he was glad what he had done.

OK, in addition to Elia Kazan making a propaganda flick that tried to excuse his naming names before the HUAC (the rat fink), he makes a movie also that portrays a labor union as being controlled by organized crime, by killers and thieves.

Good job... about the only real "corporation" working people can make, to politically counter the wealth and power of the corporations that work against consumer and labor interests, that corporation, a labor union, and we have people like Elia Kazan making movies portraying labor unions as nothing but criminal enterprises.

With friends like that, who needs rats or finks.

Truly, just about every opposition to every reform issue today, comes from a commercial industrial corporate interest... health insurers opposed to health care reform (Public Health Insurance), banks and financial services companies opposed to any regulation of their thieving business, defense contractors keeping that budget over eight hundred billion dollars, keeping us in red ink, and keeping U.S. Troops in IRAQ and Afghanistan...

With political interests like that, who needs rats or finks.

Good point, Oscar. Are you sure the Cubbies and Sox are using those bats in the proper Chicago Way ? Maybe they need a Harlem Democrat to give them a little BP.

Glenn funny,I

Good question.

I wonder what level of blood they'd find in his drugstream.

It does seem rather pointless sometimes...it's not like we are going to make a difference by gathering more redundant evidence that Glenn Beck is a lying crackpot. But we persist... :>)
