They're not a comedy group, but they do engage in serious parody...

I started posting about them when the LA Dodgers backed out of honoring them for their charity work and then had to stand up again. Los Angeles Times printed letters both pro and con, but the columnists and editorial writers of the LAT went out of their way to educate the public over the past 3 weeks.

Here’s links to a couple of posts I did about the LA Times.

Let me just add: the haters are in the minority.

Other means have worked better, before and since. Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Ralph Nader's...

…Unsafe at Any Speed, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and Charles Darwin’s Origin of the Species all come immediately to mind. And on the dark and evil side, so does Mein Kampf.

These are all books, of course. But each in their time brought about a huge change in social and political consciousness and changes in laws.

Societies backslide. That is a given. The work needs to be done in every generation, or the work is lost. Do the work. — Laws are made by politicians. Become one yourself or vigorously support those who do the work of creating a better world. — Write and publish. If that does not appeal, use this generation’s preferred media to articulate your vision. — Come up with other ideas.

But if you continue to advocate violence and destruction while proclaiming the purity of your cause — as you have done throughout this thread — you will find few friends here.

"And who, disguised as mild mannered war crimes prosecutor Jack Smith...."

"And who, disguised as mild-manner war crimes prosecutor Jack Smith..."

Hillary is never old news to the GOP. They have been demonizing her for well over 30 years...

They decided to create a Femi-Nazi Bogeyman, and there Hillary was — a bright young feminist lawyer married to a rising Democratic politician, she kept her own name and spoke her own mind. Bingo — they had their Femi-Nazi ooga-booga that they could weave whatever vile lies they wanted to around.

Chances are they’ll still be kicking her name vigorously when she is finally resting in peace in the arms of Mother Earth.

Kicktoons. What a haul! What a wonderful Schadenfreude Dance from Ann Telnaes!

This gem from the days after 9-11, while the rubble was still burning...

Falwell said it, and Robertson concurred:

I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularise America, I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'

While the Twin Towers were still flaming rubble, he said something so vile & jaw-dropping...

I saw it on the chyron and was so shocked I watched closely till it came back around & wrote it down under the heading “Know Thy Enemy.” Kept it posted on my home-office wall for many years.

Now that I try to find it again via Google, it seems Falwell said it and Robertson agreed. I spit on both their graves. May they have a meet-up in that Hell they claimed to believe in.

From The Guardian, Sept 19, 2001

What Mr Falwell said on Thursday on The 700 Club, while chatting with the programme's host, Mr Robertson, was this: "What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be minuscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."

Mr Robertson responded: "Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population."

A few moments later Mr Falwell said: "The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularise America, I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.' "

To which Mr Robertson said: "I totally concur, and the problem is we have adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government."

Exactly this. I still felt we could pull out of our dive when Dubya was prez, even tho it was scary

But Trump was beyond belief — and equally beyond belief was that nobody in the GOP powers that be got into one of those legendary smoke-filled rooms, looked at each other, and said: “He must be stopped. He must not get the Party nomination.”
