Thursday Open Thread

Filed in National by on March 31, 2011

Welcome to your Thursday open thread. I got nothin’ what do you have?

The Tea Party Nation is trying to raise money with concerns about endangered species:

Now, the Phillips group wants to raise awareness about a potentially existential threat to the United States: White people are going extinct. Via Right Wing Watch, here’s an email sent out by Tea Party Nation today:

Child bearing has become something distasteful to many women, an unwanted and painful experience to be avoided rather than embraced.

All of these programs, ideals and ideologies are doing one thing and one thing only – reducing America core TFR [total fertility rate] to the point of no return. The White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) population in America is headed for extinction and with it our economy, well-being and survival as a uniquely America culture.

This county is dying not because it is aging, it is dying because of infertility as public policy.

WASPs, I believe you just got your marching orders. The Tea Party Nation commands you to go make some babies.

Andrew Breitbart says he’s looking forward to the Shirley Sherrod case because it’s all about the Pigford settlement.

In an interview with TPM following his speech before the True the Vote national summit on Saturday, Breitbart said that the Sherrod story — in which Breitbart’s Big Government website posted what turned out to be a selectively edited video clip of Sherrod that made it appear as though she was bragging about discriminating against a white farmer — has always been about the Pigford settlement, even if he didn’t realize it in the beginning.

“I still stand by everything I said in the past as it relates to that story,” Breitbart said. “I’m excited for the discovery phase of this. I wasn’t intimidated by her saying … her slander saying that I want to, you know, bring blacks to slavery. What a predictable methodology of attack by the left. You know everyone is worried about slander — what she said to me is slanderous.”

“This is about Pigford. It has always been about Pigford. The court case will prove this beyond a reasonable doubt,” Breitbart said.

I am not a lawyer, but I don’t see what this has to do with whether he released a selectively edited video to the media which harmed Sherrod’s reputation and cost her a job. Shouldn’t he be careful about what hemsays about the case? *scratches head*

    Tea partiers, you mean I’ve got to do more procreation? I’ve already contributed 2 white children. Isn’t that enough?

    Look, if I must procreate more, then I call dibs on some movie actresses. As I grow older, I need more incentive.

    “This is about Pigford. It has always been about Pigford. ”

    Awesome first line for a Bulwer-Lytton entry.

    You will never catch up with Newt.

  5. Von Cracker says:

    No people, the conservative GOPers who masquerade around as Tea Whatevers are not racist in the least.

    Shorter: only non-catholic, bible thumping whites can run a prosperous economy.

    Secretary leads the president and vice president in popular appeal PRINCETON, NJ — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s favorable rating from Americans is now 66%, up from 61% in July 2010 and her highest rating to date while serving in the Obama administration. The current rating is just one percentage point below her all-time high rating of 67%, from December 1998.

    Clinton To Congress: Obama Would Ignore Your War Resolutions
    talkingpointsmemo.com

    Update: Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), who asked Clinton about the War Powers Act during a classified briefing, said Clinton and the administration are sidestepping the measure’s provisions giving Congress the ability to put a 60-day time limit on any military action.

    “They are not committed to following the important part of the War Powers Act,” he told TPM in a phone interview. “She said they are certainly willing to send reports [to us] and if they issue a press release, they’ll send that to us too.”

    The White House would forge ahead with military action in Libya even if Congress passed a resolution constraining the mission, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a classified briefing to House members Wednesday afternoon.

    … If Bush was still president, the headlines would scream for impeachment.

    Skip, it is a kind of red tea.

  13. V says:

    Skip – it’s the one everyone steals from Teavana at the mall on the free sample cart. The one that tastes like Pez.

  14. skippertee says:

    Thanks for clearing that up for me.
    I once participated in a Japanese tea ceremony held by this far-out father of this girl I was dating.
    We drank green tea.
    It was OK. He was a nice man who must have gone a little native when duPont left him in-country for 15 years.

    Bold Progressives just announced the first recall in Wisconsin. Activists gathered 100% of the signatures needed to recall Repuke Dan Kapanke. See what happens when people get organized!

  16. anon says:

    Obamas foreign policy is even worse than Bush. Under Obama the US can go into any country and do regime change. They now have secret CIA kill teams! Hypocrisy on the left must be fought as much as the right. Obama is dead wrong to go around Congress, he had the ability to go directly to Congress and would probably have got the votes he needed. But he listened to that warmonger Hillary Clinton instead of following the Consitution and putting this country back on its consitutional footing.
