Is there a chance the little fucker will be arrested?

LONDON (Reuters) – British author and atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins will try to have Pope Benedictarrested to face questions over the Catholic church’s child abuse scandal when he visits Britain later this year, one of his lawyers said Sunday.

Dawkins, a scientist and outspoken critic of religion, has asked human rights lawyers to examine whether charges could be brought against the pope.

Covering up child rape.  So Catholic.

So the what do you do when you’re a political party, so bereft of ideas, competence and shame that the only people who still come out to support your efforts at reclaiming political power are a pack of gun crazy, racist John Birch conspiracy crazies? What do you do when you’re trying to gain the support of ordinary, middle-of-the-road, citizens even as your most fervent supporters are mobbing the streets of our nation’s capital hurling racist insults at African American politicians and spitting on congressmen as they head to the capital?

Well, based on what’s beginning to emerge from today’s political shows, it would seem that the GOP and its mouthpieces have settled on a simple strategy: deny, deny, deny. If the incident in question was not captured on tape, then simply deny it ever happened. Read more »

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has blocked passage of a crucial package of expiring provisions, including extended unemployment insurance benefits that are scheduled to run out on April 5. Coburn has balked at Democrats’ request for unanimous consent to pass the extensions, threatening a standoff similar to one that pitted Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) against the Democratic leadership last month. [The Hill]

Of course, that shitbag Neugebauer is fundraising off his “baby killer” moment. I could not find video of the entire ad, just this mashup:

And how about this douchebag?

Every time I think it can’t get any worse:

NEW YORK – On the heels of health care, a new Harris poll reveals Republican attitudes about Obama: Two-thirds think he’s a socialist, 57 percent a Muslim—and 24 percent say “he may be the Antichrist.”

To anyone who thinks the end of the health-care vote means a return to civility, wake up.

MSNBC interviewee just said Limbaugh today said that Stupak was Neville Chamberlain to Obama’s Hitler.  That sure helps.

I suggest you head over to his website and school this neocon asshole, who is whining about HCR passing and the GOP’s humiliation … here’s my comment:

David David David … as they said in Star Wars – only when it is too late, do you finally understand.  Not to dredge up too many movies, but in 2000 you and your ilk started making orcs – you called on the worst of the worst to elect W.  That SC move claiming McCain had a black baby?  Sure, it worked.  But you, with your written speeches and whoring of the Iraq war, with your questioning the patriotism of anyone who disagreed with the Boy King … you and your ilk are damnably to blame. A trillion dollars David, and hundreds of thousands of dead innocent Iraqis, and thousands of dead soldiers, all dead in a fake war you ginned up. You decided to play the politics of hate, and look what it got you.  You should be ashamed – you should retire from public life and repent your sins. And hey – you’re Canadian!  You have health care already!  Celebrate.

Register and comment – and give no quarter.

TV and radio hatecaster Sean ‘Squeaky’ Hannity likes to style himself as GI Joe’s most ardent supporter. Yes, of course it’s a joke. Everyone knows psychopathic narcissists like Squeaky are incapable of anything but non-stop abuse of any and all available resources to feed their relentless hunger for recognition.

So it was only a matter a time before Squeaky got close enough to a non-profit enterprise to loot it to fund his Caligulan impulses. What makes it doubly twisted is the fact that this charity is supposed to be distributing its funds to support the children of dead veterans and their survivors – but instead is being spent on shuttling Squeaky around in Gulfstream luxury jets and limousines.
