Conservatism Riddled With Scams

[FJO]

Expected reaction. Wingnuts don't allow anything to permeate the bubble.

And as Frank Rich says in the follow-up interview, wingnuts should have no problems with conservatives scamming their own followers: it's just following Ayn Rand's philosophy of every man for himself:

Rachel Maddow Show

In Thomas Frank's latest book, "Pity the Billionaire:The Hard-Times Swindle and the Unlikely Comeback of the Right," Frank documents how many RW groups saw the emergence of the so-called Tea Party movement as the perfect opportunity to cash in on the gullibility of anyone who was angry at the economic fallout from the Great Recession. And maybe the most amazing thing about it was how the RW managed to package the deal as a necessary assault ON gov't regulation because gov't was somehow preventing a purer form of capitalism from saving us from the downturn. In other words, they actually blamed TOO MUCH regulation for the recession. In their eyes, both average people and business were victims of gov't over regulation of the finance industry.

Notice how the wingnut respondents in this thread all take it personally that Dick Morris, Huckameenajad, Newtie, and Ham Rove are being exposed as scam artists?

There is NOTHING in the OP that attacks conservatism in any way, shape or form. It's an attack on the leading personalities, but they see them as intertwined with their ideology.

Sad.

The most skillful and onerous and despicable and dangerous scam artists are Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and all members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who - by definition - are sickeningly racist to the core.

 

[FJO]

And this is when Liberals won!

LOLz

Do you see how they have a chronic need to complain and be bitter and frustrated?

They can't stand it that there is still a large opposition. They keep hoping that they can agitate one huge purge. I hope that libs stop being such cowards and get on with it.

The problem is that the nutter right is making a large opposition a small opposition with shit like this.

Kind of like how do you start a small business?

Start a LARGE one and Obama will tax you until your business is small.

So, what Huckabee is saying is that God will be there to comfort people after the murders but can't do anything beforehand to prevent it. And, He can't do anything about it because "He's not allowed," even though He is, you know, God, the most powerful being in the universe.

Yeah, that'll fly when he runs in 2016.

No it's because God gives us free will and the right to choose God gave us Ten Commandments to live by thou shall not kill being one of them we are also told what the rewards in the next life will be for following the Commandments and consequences for choosing not to. God gave us rules and guidelines to live by and the right to choose if we want to or not the choices we choose to make are our responsibility not Gods.

... God gave us Ten Commandments to live by .....


and the Conservatives lost them ... and use theirs instead.

Would you care to explain that?

 

[asterism]

Really good video, exposing how conservative hucksters scam their followers and true believers.

I think some Righties will be surprised and pretty pissed off at some of this.


Conservatism Riddled With Scams

Maddow is light on actual facts about Dick Morris. She has painted this picture of expenditures to prove a circular scam without actually showing the facts.

It's dishonest and snippy.

Conservatism Riddled With Scams

Suprised? No. That owuld be silly as it would require me to thinlk that super pacs run in all their secracy wiould be a good place to 'donatee' my money to.

Angry? No, not at all. Why would I be. Again, this is a super pac issue. Something I care little to nothing about. Donators themselves should be watching where there money goes and ensuring that it is spent wisely. I don't care if he rolled all that cash up and set it on fire. What does it matter? It was not my money. It was not the republicans money. It was the money of people that thought it would be a good idea to donate to a stupid Super Pac without knowing where the money was going to. Those people should have looked a little more closely at what they were doing.

Now, instead of looking like an idiot by trying to attach this to the 'republicans' perhaps you should actually be honest with yourself and realize that there are thieves everywhere, ESPECIALLY those that are asking you to 'donate' to such and such cause without any real path to show you. This is not a 'republican' thing. They are everywhere. Try watching TV late at night, televangelists are still on are they not? There you go, even in religion they are there. Even in your vaunted democratic party.

Televangelists are Liberals?

Show me where this is happening in the Democratic Party.

 

[Synthaholic]

I guess you didn't pay too much attention. It was not all super PACS. Newt's scam is just parlaying his Speakership into money into his pocket. Same with Santorum (Google him!).

And I didn't mention Republicans in the OP, yet you ascribe that to me.

Really good video, exposing how conservative hucksters scam their followers and true believers.

I think some Righties will be surprised and pretty pissed off at some of this.


Conservatism Riddled With Scams

No, I suppose that you said 'righties' and 'conservatives' but you were not talking about republicans at all.

And I should pay more attention?! You didn't reply to a single point I made then leveled a false claim about what you said and say I should pay more attention. Utter fail. Why don't you try again.


Also, what are you getting at with 'all' super pacs? Did you even bother to read what I wrote? I don't mention anything about other super pacs.

Well, tell me - are Newt, Santorum, Huckabee, Armey, Morris, etc. stars of the Right or the Left?

Right here, near the red circles, Mr. Magoo:

I've never seen any of them scamming people out of their money, and neither have you.

Explain how it actually works, then.


Or do you not have the facts?

Then give us examples, Becki.

 

[Goodoledays]

Those on the right don't have to dig too deep to find scams, lies, and gross hypocrisy from those on the left, they wallow in it.

Then step up, asshole. Show me someone on the Left who is lying to us in order to extract money from us, and back up your accusation.

Take off the blinders dude. Its Ubama. He does it everyday. You lefties are so brainwashed you can't think for yourself anymore. All you do is follow your nitwit leader around and believe everything he says or does.

Oh, so now you are admitting that you are talking about republicans.

Glad we could clear up your lie.

Liberalism Riddled With Scams!

Really good links that show how Liberal hucksters scam their followers and true believers.

I think some Lefties will be surprised and pretty pissed off at some of this.

CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News
Breaking News & Top Stories - World News, US & Local | NBC News

So I looked at your links and couldn't figure out what your point was. Could you be more specific and less cryptic?

 

[rdean]

Expected reaction. Wingnuts don't allow anything to permeate the bubble.

The bubble of truth is unpenetrable. Unlike you idiots on the left, your lies are shallow.

Where were the "lies"?

 

[rdean]

And this is when Liberals won!

LOLz

Do you see how they have a chronic need to complain and be bitter and frustrated?

Pointing out the truth is hardly "bitterness and frustration". It's simply trying to understand motivation.

But if you want to talk about "bitterness and frustration", talk about the Republicans and Fox.

Of course and if someone from the right posted a video from Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck showing how liberalism is a scam you and the other lefties would react how?

I want to see it. Do you have a link? With facts, the way she did.

There is nothing that "he says or does" that I cannot verify. I'm fairly adept at this whole 'computing' thing.
