The Troll

Quote from: Henry Hawk on August 30, 2016, 10:01:43 AM
Michael Scheuer, former Chief of the CIA Osama bin Laden unit, offered a recent perspective on presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
"A likely felon/traitor who is utterly dependent on her sexual-predator husband, has accomplished nothing in her life except a superb talent for deceit, and the gains made by her family's graft, influence peddling, and corruption.

This is a person so devoid of integrity, honesty, and character that her two major concerns seem to be to pocket more lucre for herself, and to ensure that human babies always can be profitably murdered, dismembered, and sold for parts right up to their due date."


  Henry, you have to be a Wack Job to reprint this assassination of a humanbeing.  :puke:  You and him have to come out of the same douche bag.  What a creep you have to be, you Slimmy Cockroach.  :finger2:

Now let's think about the hypocrisy at work here...

The Repugs are always whining against business regulation and pushing every POS bit of legislation aimed at having a complete 'Laissez-Faire' (unregulated) capitalist economy in this nation but...

...when the Repugs think they can score some political points, they're quite willing to cry about blatant corruption and excesses of the unregulated system they legislate and promote...

...all the while also taking every bit of lobbying money being thrown their way.

Hum, seems to be a problem here.  :think:

You and your RW dimwits had better think.

Did any of you actually watch that video?

Where are the actual clips supposedly showing the 'illegal' actions?  Vanished into thin air?

That video is just another RW hit piece without any substance - just like the Planned Parenthood, Acorn, etc. videos.  Altered, clipped, and deliberately misrepresented and likely to end up with the person's responsible for the hit piece facing, and convicted of, civil suit or criminal charges.

Political correctness is progressive-liberal censorship, and the irony is that it's the invention of those who sincerely believe that conservatives are the ones who are close-minded.

Quote by a wise man that we all know...

Once again, you and your RW cohorts should take the time to research and study before you blather on about anything.

'Political Correctness' has its roots in 'Doublespeak' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak ) and comes from the corporate realm and politics - and both normally the RW.

http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-doublespeak.html

Doublespeak is not a term with which everyone is familiar, although many people use this device in every day language.

Doublespeak, often called "double talk," is the distortion, changing or switching of words to make an unpleasant, tricky or otherwise negative situation not sound as awful. For example, many times people say that someone has "passed on" as opposed to saying that the individual has died. Instead of focusing on the negative aspect that the person has left this world, the speaker places emphasis on the fact that the person has gone on into the next one.

Doublespeak in Everyday Language

Here are some examples of commonly used phrases that are regarded as doublespeak, and the phrase that people actually mean.

    "Using the facilities" instead of going to the bathroom

    "Downsizing" instead of firing people

    "Reducing costs" as opposed to cutting peoples' salaries or the amount of supplies going into work

    "Preowned" as opposed to used and possibly beaten up

    "Well loved" as opposed to old and raggedy

    "Senior citizen" in place of an old person

    "Experienced" or "well experienced" in place of old

    "Not doing so well" instead of very sick or injured

    "Detainee" for a prisoner of war

    "Pre-emptive strike" instead of unprovoked attack

    "Enhanced interrogation" in place of torture

    "Person of interest" instead of a suspect in a crime

    "Capital punishment" instead of the death penalty

    "Quaint" as opposed to not terribly amusing or beautiful

    "Unique" instead of weird

    "Take down" in military language instead of saying killing someone

    "Restructuring" instead of a reorganization

    "Not quite clean" instead of really dirty

    "A bit shaky" as opposed to of really poor quality

    "Gone to the Lord" instead of died

    "Crossed over to the other side" instead of dying or turning to evil

    "Gone to greener pastures" instead of leaving

    "Doing business" instead of going to the bathroom

    "Put to sleep" instead of euthanize

    "Ethnic cleansing" instead of genocide

    "The underworld" instead of hell

    "Lose your breakfast/lunch/dinner" instead of throwing up

    "Going a little over the top" as opposed to drinking way too much

    "Substance abuse problem" as opposed to drug addiction

    "Curvy" in place of fat

    "Ill advised" in place of highly thought against or a very bad idea

    "Being held back" instead of failing or not performing well

From reading this last, you may notice that doublespeak can also be seen as a euphemism or as being "politically correct."

Purposes of Doublespeak

To Sound More Polite

In the case of phrases such as "using the facilities" and "curvy," the speaker is trying to not sound lewd or obnoxious. By using these other words, the speaker does not sound as offensive, even if the true meaning is still really known by the listeners.

To Be Politically Correct

This reason for using doublespeak tends to go hand-in-hand with being more polite. For example, words and phrases such as "curvy" and "using the facilities" are more often used in more private situations; however, phrases such as "senior citizens" may be used in more public situations as the socially-accepted, politically correct way of identifying this group of older people.

Hiding Negativity

Often, doublespeak is used to make negative situations sound better, particularly when it comes to death. People say phrases such as "going to the Lord" and "crossed over to the other side" instead of died to remind themselves that the deceased individual is still living somewhere.

Business Purposes

Doublespeak is often used in business purposes, and it is often a blend of hiding negativity and being politically correct. Higher ups in companies want to be diplomatic as possible, so they can make situations such as money loss and firing employees not sound as terrible as they really are.

Another bit of tripe from that crackpot 'Uncle Tom', Allen West.   :rolleyes:

Don't think he's a 'bad apple', black or no?

From CNN:

U.S. officer fined for harsh interrogation tactics
Saturday, December 13, 2003 Posted: 6:16 AM EST (1116 GMT)

TIKRIT, Iraq (CNN) -- The commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division on Friday accepted a U.S. military investigator's recommendation and ordered administrative action against Lt. Col. Allen West, who was accused of using improper methods to force information out of an Iraqi detainee.

Following a military hearing, West was fined $5,000 over two months, according to West's civillian attorney, Neal Puckett.

The punishment does not affect West's eligibility for retirement and pension, Puckett said in a statement.

West, 42, will be assigned to the rear detachment of the 4th Infantry Division awaiting the processing of his retirement request, the statement said.

Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the 4th Infantry's top general in Tikrit, could have rejected the recommendation and ordered a court martial. If he were to be found guilty at a court martial of the two articles against him, West could have faced 11 years in prison, a military prosecutor told CNN.

Rep. Allen West's 15 Most Outrageous Statements

In two short years in the U.S. House of Representatives, congressman Allen West has earned a reputation for making the most irresponsible statements which are clearly intended to attract media attention, spark debate, and fire up his most fervent right-wing supporters. West may be running in a new (more conservative) district this fall, but he'll still be running on his old record of divisiveness and discord. To refresh everyone's collective memory about who Allen West is, ThinkProgress has compiled a list of his most outrageous quotes (and it's anything but pretty):

    (1) "YOU ARE NOT A LADY": In July 2011, West responded to a perceived slight from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (R-FL) with a fiery letter in which he threatened her and scolded, "You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!" West later said he had apologized, but Wasserman-Schultz said she had not received one.

    (2) JOSEPH GOEBBELS WOULD "BE VERY PROUD" OF DEMOCRATS: In December, West told reporters, "If Joseph Goebbels was around, he'd be very proud of the Democrat party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine." The link to Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945, drew criticism from several members of Congress, the Anti-Defamation League, and others.

    (3) LIBERALS "GET THE HELL OUT": Speaking at the Palm Beach County GOP's Lincoln Day Dinner in last month, West said of liberals, "Take your message of equality of achievement. ... You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America." West later tried to walk back the statement, claiming he was only referring to "the message" and not liberals themselves.

    (4) "A THREAT TO THE GENE POOL": In a July 2011 post on the website Red Country, West wrote, "I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool."

    (5) "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU": Before running for Congress, West had a 22-year career in the military, but left after he abused an Iraqi detainee: "This is it. I'm going to count to five again, and if you don't give me what I want, I'm going to kill you." He then fired a shot "a foot" over the detainee's head.

    (6) "NUTS!": West has often clashed with opponents over the issue of Islam. In August 2011, a chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked West to sever ties with anti-Muslim activists. In response, West sent a letter which read only, "I am writing to you with regard [sic] your recent letter: NUTS!" Why West chose this response is a mystery, although he might have been quoting a World War II general who responded that way when the Nazis told him to surrender.

    (7) "WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE OUR MEN BECOME SUBSERVIENT": In April 2011, West told a conservative women's conference that liberal women "have been neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness — to let them know that we are not going to have our men become subservient. That's what we need you to do. Because if you don't, then the debt will continue to grow...deficits will continue to grow."

    (8) "BLINDLY FOLLOWING A COMMANDER IN CHIEF": Talking with radio host Mark Levin last month, West said Generals "have to be very careful about blindly following a commander in chief that really does not have the best intent for our military." What West did not mention was that officers are constitutionally bound to follow the President's orders unless they are illegal.

    (9) I AM "THE MODERN-DAY HARRIET TUBMAN": Speaking with O'Reilly Factor guest host Laura Ingraham in August 2011, West said the Democratic party is a "21st-century plantation." He added, "So I'm here as the modern-day Harriet Tubman, to kind of lead people on the Underground Railroad, away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility."

    (10) "LET THEM GET SHOT AT": In May 2011, the House narrowly defeated a proposal which would have required President Obama to submit a timetable for withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of those who voted for the bill, West said, "I would take these gentlemen over and let them get shot at a few times and maybe they'd have a different opinion." This was just months after the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords.
     
    (11) "WE ALSO SHOULD BE CENSORING THE AMERICAN NEWS AGENCIES": In response to the whistleblower website Wikileaks releasing thousands of pages of diplomatic cables, West declared: "And I think that we also should be censoring the American news agencies which enabled [Julian Assange] to do this and also supported him and applauding him for the efforts." West later claimed he only called for "censuring" the media. Either way, it would be a First Amendment violation.

    (12) "I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT": When West first ran for Congress in 2008, the Arab news network Al Jazeera asked for an interview. West recalled, "But my b.s. flag really went up when [Al Jazeera] said they wanted my address, to pick me up at night. They said they would send a car but wouldn't tell me where it was going. I don't know if it was a kidnapping attempt. But I am not going to entrust Al Jazeera with my life. I said, 'Cancel the interview!'"

    (13) RELIGIOUS COEXISTENCE "WOULD GIVE AWAY OUR COUNTRY": During a March 2011 town hall, West talked about the "Coexist" movement, saying of their bumper stickers: "Every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are."

    (14) "GEORGE BUSH GOT SNOOKERED": During the same town hall, West claimed: "George Bush got snookered into going into some mosque, taking his shoes off, and then saying that Islam was a religion of peace."

    (15) DEMOCRATS SUPPORT "MOST INSIDIOUS FORM OF SLAVERY": Just yesterday, West accused Democrats of supporting the worst form of slavery known today. "The Democratic appetite for ever-increasing redistributionary handouts is in fact the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today," West said.

"I'm very concerned about this very divisive rhetoric," West said of President Obama in December, apparently unaware of the glaring irony.



Then to go on about his foolish tripe you posted, his 'claim' of 'three blacks making history' and being ignored, can only be seen as 'true' in the broadest and weakest sense of the claim...

...there has already been a 'black' chairman of the Republican party and other high ranking black republican officials, so how is that nutbag West's claim essentially true or even newsworthy - it's neither, but that narcissist West cannot stop himself from manufacturing issues from whole cloth in order to seek attention and keep his name out there.

He is, from observation, one sick individual.

Why is it you RW nutz love your crackpots so, and never appear to do any research before you spout off?

Scheuer is another dyed-in-the-wool nutcase.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Scheuer

In February 2009, Scheuer reported that, as a consequence of his statements about US foreign policy towards Israel, he had been fired from his position as a senior fellow of The Jamestown Foundation by Jamestown's president.[7] In December 2013 and January 2014, Scheuer was criticized for seeming to advise American citizens to seriously consider assassinating US President Barack Obama.[8] In September 2014 in addition to earlier "praise" received from Al Qaeda, the Islamic State issued a press release quoting Scheuer's in order to appeal to an American audience.[9]


Therefore, why would you take a nutbag's 'opinion' (read, 'hit piece') on Hillary if not only because it supported your predetermined biases and prejudices?

Hmmm?   :razz:
