Do you know the date of the march? I found a flyer that said “Spring 2010″ and references to “April 2010″, but I ran out of patience before I could find the actual date.
Since the web address is devoted to the march, you’d think the date would be in bold face at the top of the homepage.
I’m so sick of hearing that pit bull Claire McCaskill on the Sunday talk shows. As I recall, her hubby was busted for smoking pot when she was in charge of Jackson county and of course she didn’t know a thing about it. During a press conference a couple of months ago, she actually said “there was no pork in the stimulus bill”. What a crooked liar, but hey, that makes a perfect democrat!
I was watching a replay of the Chinese Grand Prix a few minutes ago. During the race, I remembered that China has figured out that socialism isn’t as good as capitalism, so they are becoming capitalists. Here, in the U.S., the government has figured out that capitalism isn’t as good as socialism, so they are becoming socialists. Amazing, isn’t it?
Last Saturday I took my son to the Mishawaka Tea Party. That was the second one I’ve attended. Many of the same complaints were represented there, and my son was quite impressed.
Next time we’re taking the grandkids.
The Sam Adams Alliance does “Fabulous work”? Like having an anti-Semitic “director of web strategy” and blog “trainer,” Emily Zanotti, who defends obscene, Holocaust-denying Muslim death threats against Jews? Like having a “director of web strategy” and blog “trainer,” who admittedly fabricates negative information about people because she’s upset that they exposed former ICE chief Julie Myers? Like having a “director of web strategy” and blog “trainer,” who lies about her credentials?
As I’ve e-mailed you before, Michelle, Sam Adams Alliance’s “director of web strategy” and blog “trainer,” Emily Zanotti, used her blog to defend Muslims death threats on my life and posted completely made up information about me–falsely claiming I had four defamation complaints with the state bar and saying I wrote that students and faculty at her law school were anti-Semitic (when I’d never written about her school at that point), all of which she had to recant, after I was about to sue her. In her “recantation” e-mail, she lied and said she had “several graduate and post-graduate degrees.”
She said she was allowed to make up false, defamatory information about me because she was upset I wrote bad things about the “stellar” Julie Myers.
After this came to light at her last employer, she was allowed to gracefully “resign for personal reasons” only six months into the job, after spending all day long blogging instead of working on law cases. When she got caught, she removed the time stamps from her blog.
This sick woman’s salary and trips around the country to “train” other bloggers is what you helped raised money for, Michelle.
Sam Adams Alliance’s own half-witted lawyer admitted to me in a letter that this woman lied her credentials. Why is this behavior okay on the right? And why would you raise money for a person who defends Muslim death threats on a blog and openly and deliberately lies about third parties, to be a blog trainer to conservatives around the country?
This is the message you endorse? Very disturbing.
One other thing, Michelle about the organization, Sam Adams Alliance, and the “fabulous work” you claim they do in “open[ness] transparency and blogivism,” their half-witted lawyer even had the chutzpah to threaten in writing to sue me if I dared exercise free speech and write further about their “director of web strategy” and blog “trainer,” Emily Zanotti’s defamatory lies, her fabricated credentials, and support for Muslim, anti-Semitic death threats on my life, that they would sue me. Uh-huh, that sounds like open, transparent and good for blogivism. Right. “Fabulous,” Michelle.
Compensator; an appliance fitted to the muzzle of a firearm, sometimes incorporating a device that silences the report of firing.
We can hope he was talking about that kind of “compensate” as applied to the terrorists….
Wow!! I never put it together that its the Debbie that does the movie reviews on Fridays for KingDude! I’m a little behind the curve.
And here all this time I thought it was just a poseur!
I definitely need to step up my research.
I am not a supporter of the Sam Adams Alliance, heck, I wasn’t aware of their existance until now. I followed the link and gave their page a cursory examination, and did not immediately find anything offensive.
Yes, you have shared information with MM about a single individual, who works with/for an organization – understood. However, I find it difficult to accept taking SAA to task over what one single employee does on her own BLOG. Yes, it is done, sometimes too often, and sometimes recklessly.
Your personal exchanges with Zanotti does not, and should not, impact any others person’s dealings with SAA.
I am sure there are single whack jobs in many other organizations, who do silly things not in the name of the organization, that will in many ways, big and small, who get under our individual skins.
I prefer to acknowledge this, but not to diminish an entire organization for it.
Insane. A so-called conservative organization hires a sick, lying woman who defends Muslim anti-Semitic death threats and fabricates false information on blogs, as its “blog trainer” and you think that’s okay? Then, I guess you think anti-Semitism is okay. Why not hire Goebbels, Adam Gadahn, or Ward Churchill to do their blog training? It does, indeed, diminish the entire organization. Defending Muslim death threats and making up actionable defamatory allegations is not “getting under out individual skins.” It is unacceptable.
WAKE. THE. HECK. UP.
No. I do not think anti Semitism is OK. I post on your BLOG using the same screen name. So your guess is wrong. I choose ignore the incindiary names you mention.
To be consistent -
Would you diminish an entire Police force for the actions of one rogue Police Officer? When that Police Officer beats their spouse off the clock.
Or, diminish AIPAC for what two of it’s members/supporters have done?
Or, diminish an entire family because thay have a black sheep sharing their surname?
I wouldn’t.
I will agree that an organization has an obligation to protect it’s image, but taking that organization to task over one bad apple is akin to throwing out the baby with the bath water. OK, cliched, hackneyed and trite, but that is my position.
I am not asleep. I strive to be consistent, do you?
