"NBC actor Alec Baldwin jumped from his chair to scream "We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children!" "

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2653873/posts

Henry Hyde was a Republican senator. Funny, videos of that no longer exist on youtube.

There are rumors of Alec Baldwin running for political office. Wonder if he still feels the same way about stoning senators, their wives and children?

The Kenyan destroyed the economy so thoroughly that the flood of illegals entering into the country is slowing down.

Ted Nugent... Courtney Love says she performed oral sex on him when she was twelve years old, and based on my personal experience with Nugent, it's not far-fetched at all. Women threw themselves at him all day, and he slobbered over the 16-yr-old daughter of the radio-station manager. Saw it with my own eyes, and zero fucks are given as to what the 'Trust thinks.
Good for him, I hope he never works again.
I can see the headline now:
"Sick Prick 'Dixie-Chicked' By Sick Chick He Dicked."

Show source to prove it. Otherwise it is just false rhetoric from the left wacko sites again.

[edit]

I did some digging and nothing is outside of what she said. There is no proof of it. And to tell the truth, I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of that crack heads mouth. She is a major skank.
In 2004, Courtney admitted on the Howard Stern Show that long before she became famous, she gave The Nuge a blow job backstage at a concert.

She was twelve at the time.

Now, we have nothing more than the word here of a seriously unbalanced pre-teen.

Backstage at name-your-enormodome in the 70s it's safe to say that many a young lassie lifted the loincloth of Ted The Sledge to give him 10 minutes of oral pleasure before he went on stage to belt out "Yank Me, Crank Me (but don't you wake up, and don't you thank me)".

Was Courtney one of them? It's safe to say she could have easily gotten backstage at age 12, and it's a sure thing she would have tried. She was a bit of a chubby kid ( click here for a photo gallery of Young Love -- get it?), so she might not have first dibs on The Nob of The Nuge.

Was age 12 a factor? We've all seen Almost Famous, and by all accounts that movie was a lot tamer than the reality. But again, it was the Seventies.

How ironic that one of our country's most outspoken right-wingers and drug-free-living advocates is likely to have shared some DNA with . . . yeah, you know.

Only in America. And probably Europe. And parts of Southeast Asia.

How truly-crazy is The Motor City Madman? I think it's a safe bet that Ted is "perma-crazy" - a manic man with a ton of energy, to be sure, but not, like, up-and-down nutso. So, let's put him a little further down this list.

Nooge has a gun for everything... except when he was called to serve his country:

High Times, 1977:


High Times:How did you get out of the draft?

Ted Nugent: "Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin’ it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin’ around, hippying down, getting’ loaded and pickin’ my ass like your common curs, I’d say “Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin’ around in the gutters.” But I wasn’t a gutter dog. I was a hard workin’, motherfuckin’ rock and roll musician.
"I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.
"See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin’ dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I’m gonna play their own game, and I’m gonna destroy ‘em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin’ awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf*cker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn’t know and I’m vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was – ‘cause I was really into bein’ clean and on the ball – I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.
"So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn’t believe the smell. They were ridiculin’ me and pushin’ me around and I was cryin’, but all the time I was laughin’ to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, “Oh my God, put those back on! You f*cking swine you!” Then they had a urine test and I couldn’t piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin’ up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin’ up. So I went home and cleaned up.
"They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They’d call dead people before they’d call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I’d make an incredible army man. I’d be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I’d have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin’ killers you’d ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn’t into it. I was too busy doin’ my own thing, you know?"

Yeah, me and my buddies in the Air Force did that all the time. :roll: Not everybody who ever served in the military is a rightwing doooosh.

So... are you okay with Nooge being a draft-dodger? Or if Nooge did it, wouldn't that then make it okay for Clinton, who didn't actually shit himself to get away with it? see what I'm getting at here?... Are you only okay with draft-dodger pedophile poachers if they're conservative? Is there anything a conservative can do to be a bad person?

I'm not saying that at all. I don't agree with anyone dodging the draft. I was just asking what you thought of one but not the other. You seem to be in favor of anything the left does, and If you are going to blast one for doing it, then you have to blast the other. No matter what party they are in. I believe in fair play. You can't pick favorites and let one get away with something, and not another.

You seem to think that the only bad people are conservatives. Not every conservative is a bad person, or a douche. There are douchebags in both sides.

By the way, I edit that last part out before your reply. I felt it was a little over the line.

Actually, this is precisely what you did. Exactly why I asked you if it was okay for Clinton to do it, as long as Nooge did it. I cited something Nooge did, and YOU replied with a reference to something Clinton did.
Tell ya what... when Nooge is a Rhodes scholar, and presides over a national SURPLUS as President, I'll admit that he and Clinton are equal. Otherwise, he's just a faded star with a mouth bigger than his brain.

Typical from the right to make things up and provide insults rather than back up what they say...

The saddest thing is that you named all the media that you don't watch yet you know its bad because you've been told it's bad. Think about that.
How do you know what i watch Bill?Do we live together Bill?I keep tabs on all sides Bill.You may not believe that but i do Bill.Have i insulted you Bill?Where?AND you keep saying over and over that Nuge threatened your boy's life.He did nothing of the sort.Once again it's ok for BILL to twist people's words to fit his agenda,but good lord if you can't paste and copy all fact,dates,times and places Bill just roll his eyes and lump you with the dreaded "right".I guess i did call you ridiculous didn't i.
What to you watch and listen to ?

Nugent said he would be dead or in jail if Obama won. What does that mean to you ? Obviously it means he would do something illegal against Obama. That's a threat. Not a "twist".

I made the reference to Clinton because you neglect to see that people on your side of the fence do the same thing. If you would have said it was not o.k for Nudget and then rambled about clinton like you do when you don't come out and say it straight, I would have said about the hypocrisy from the left. - This is why I am independent, I don't like the hypocrisy, from either side. Lately, it seems to be coming more from the left than the right, though.

I don't care if nudget and clinton are equal or not. One is conservative and the other is liberal. They both dodged the draft. They are both douchebags for doing it. As long as you see them both as such, then we are in agreement. If not, then you are taking one side and not another.

Really, you are complaining about capitalism and how it works ? I thought you were FOR unregulated capitalism ? Am I wrong, perhaps you're not given the fact that you are upset by it. What's up ?


This is one of many reasons the economy is great for the top % ! This is one of the reasons the people who rallied against Wall Street and the top 1%. Sounds like you guys are actually on our side. Feel free to explain why you're not.


ALL of you are for free enterprise ! Free and Pure Capitalism without any regulations ! This is what it brings. Why don't you get it ? When it works you complain ? Could you explain that top me ?

Personally I'd prefer some government regulations.

I would estimate about 10-15% of the current annual deficit. The rest is attributable to new programs implemented by the democrat super-majority and lower-than-expected revenues because the economy has not rebounded.

These numbers are murky because the President has not signed a budget into law since he took office.
Implying that Obama is responsible for 85% to 90% increase in spending is a joke and you know better. You pretend to be dumb but you know better. Besides Bush's tax cuts and destruction of the economy and pharmaceutical deals there are standard debts that were in place before Obama. NOT all debts are NEW programs.

And my whole point is (which you'd rather avoid while picking apart less important things) that gas prices did not come down when oil production increased. As we were told it would since "drill baby drill". My point is that our oil is not our oil. It is the refineries oil. And they sell to a world market (refined products Jeff).
If you do not say what you mean, how can I possibly know what you mean?

Had we not increased oil production, the oil supply would be much tighter than it is, resulting in even higher oil prices...if you subscribe to the law of supply and demand. I submit that gas prices would be climbing much higher, much faster without the increased oil production.

Of course, the complete and utter non-existance of a recovery from the recession is also helping to curb demand. Things would be much different if we had a recovery like in 1983-84 when we came out of the true worst recession since the great depression. Oil would be tight and we'd be paying $5+ at the pump.

Perhaps Obama's poor economic policies are designed to keep oil from going even higher than it is now? Who knows what that scheming bastard is up to?

Well, I guess he's not quite a bastard, but close.
You can't change the facts. Oil production is at it's highest in years. More than when Bush was president. The refineries, rather than lower OUR prices, sold the excess (in the form of refined OIL products) to foreign countries. So tell me Jeff, how much oil should the US produce to lower prices ?

I've explained many times. Supply and demand only plays a small part. Yes the world marked demand has increased greatly and that's a reason for higher prices. But selling a monopolized product for "whatever the market can bear" is a bigger reason for high prices.

Depression?

We have a higher unemployment rate than when Bush was in office.
We are further in debt than when Bush was in office.
We have double the gas prices than when BUsh was in office.
We have a higher number of people on foodstamps than when Bush was in office.
We have a higher number of people on welfare than when Bush was in office.

Yeah, depression my ass. It is worse now than it was when Bush was in office. If anything, this is Obama's depression. He only made things worse. Then since he is liberal, all you other libs say the economy is booming. If there was a republican President in there right now, you would be saying completely the opposite of what you say now.

Recent polls:

-> 84% of Americans say they are no better off than they were for years ago.
-> 61% say the country is going in the wrong direction.

Frank, Again, the economy is GREAT if you're in the top % ! remember ? They are making RECORD PROFITS.

How is that Obama's fault that the top % are so un-American ?

How much of the increase in debt is Obama paying of Bush's bills ? Wars, tax cuts to the rich, deals with the drug companies etc. etc. etc..

There, that answers your first three "faults" with facts.

And yet again, oil production has INCREASED under Obama, the refineries set the price. The refineries are selling record amounts to foreign countries. Just more FACTS that don't get reported by the right wing media.

Why is any of that Obama's fault ?

So yes again Frank. Bush left office with the economy in a near depression. How long would you give one man to get us out of a near depression ?
Why is it that you are so good a rhetoric yet you regurlalry avoid simple questions that require you to think on your own ?

"When Mr. Obama was inaugurated black unemployment was 12.6%. 36 months later, it is at a depression era level 15.8%.

* Black teenage unemployment is a jaw dropping 42.3 percent.

* In October 2010, blacks accounted for 22.6 percent of the then 40.5 million Americans who received food stamp benefits each month. That figure was projected to rise in 2011. Mark Rank of Washington University suggests a whopping 90 percent of black children may eventually live in households that need food stamps.

* In 2007, before Obama took office, white households had a median net worth of $134,280, compared with $13,450 for black households. By the end of 2009, the median net worth for white households plummeted 24% to $97,860. But for black households, it dropped 83% to $2,170. The Chicago Sun-Times called it, “The Disappearing Black Middle Class.”"

" When the recession supposedly officially ended in June, 2009, the labor force participation rate was still 65.7%.

In the latest, much celebrated unemployment report, the labor force participation rate had plummeted to 63.7%, the most rapid decline in U.S. history. That means that under President Obama nearly 5 million Americans have fled the workforce in hopeless despair.

The trick is that when those 5 million are not counted as in the work force, they are not counted as unemployed either. They may desperately need and want jobs. They may be in poverty, as many undoubtedly are, with America suffering today more people in poverty than in the entire half century the Census Bureau has been counting poverty.

In other words, there are 5 million Americans who not only lost their jobs, but who became so discouraged trying to find a job that they just gave up. That's definitely a "change," but the only "hope" at this point is that Obama will be voted out of office so that those people will be able to get back into the labor market."

I would estimate about 10-15% of the current annual deficit. The rest is attributable to new programs implemented by the democrat super-majority and lower-than-expected revenues because the economy has not rebounded.

These numbers are murky because the President has not signed a budget into law since he took office.
Implying that Obama is responsible for 85% to 90% increase in spending is a joke and you know better. You pretend to be dumb but you know better. Besides Bush's tax cuts and destruction of the economy and pharmaceutical deals there are standard debts that were in place before Obama. NOT all debts are NEW programs.
Bullshit...look up your own numbers for a change. You might actually learn the truth! You want answers? YOU WANT ANSWERS? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

First of all, the Bush tax cuts EXPIRED, but I'll even give you the extensions as if Bush signed them and not Obama. The Obama tax-cut extensions for the rich amount to about 6% and the war is about 5%. If you are talking about Medicare Part B, its OFF BUDGET...same as Social Security and the "payroll taxes". Contrary to what the lying sacks of shit in DC want you to believe, these plans are not a part of the general budget and therefore are not a part of the budget deficit. That does not mean that they aren't a problem in their own right.

Besides, saying that 10-15% of todays deficit was as a direct result of Bush is NOT the same as saying 85-90% is a direct result of Obama. My bad there...Obama spending increases are probably responsible for more like 50-60% of the deficit. He did, after all, increase government spending by 24% after his 1st year without raising revenue and is on track to add more debt in one term than all the previous debt accrued before him.

The rest would be attributable to programs implemented in the 20th century.
