Greenwald's Sock Puppet Writes Hypocritical Bio Of Its Idol

But which sock puppet wrote this time?

From Publishers Weekly

With this provocative book, Greenwald, a former constitutional lawyer and author of A Tragic Legacy and How Would a Patriot Act, purports to expose the rank myth-making and exploitation of cultural, gender and psychological themes by the Republican Party. The author begins his attack by targeting John Wayne, whom he sees as a template for right-wing notions of American courage and conservative manliness. Wayne's avoidance of military service and his string of divorces, both at odds with his public image, are emblematic in this account of a fundamental hypocrisy implicit in conservative mythologies. Greenwald goes on to argue that prominent Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Mitt Romney display the same hypocrisy in their public ideologies and personal lives. Shouldering much of the blame are the press and the media, including Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter, Chris Matthews and even Maureen Dowd, all of whom propagate popular attitudes about virile Republicans and effeminate Democrats. Despite the antipathy the author feels for Coulter, his writing is much like hers. More a partisan screed than a reasoned argument meant to persuade undecided readers, this repetitive text frequently devolves into personal attacks and vast generalizations.

“Those who ignore what Greenwald has to say act at our collective peril.”—John W. Dean, former Nixon White House counsel and author of Conservatives Without Conscience

“There are few patriots on Capitol Hill. You can count them on your hand. . . . Glenn Greenwald, constitutional lawyer, is one such patriot.”—BuzzFlash.com

“One of the smartest and most important new voices to emerge in politics in years.” —Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of Daily Kos and coauthor of Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics

"Glenn Greenwald has done it again. He’s about to release another great book. . . . From the myth that John Wayne was a great American hero (he was a WWII draft dodger), to how the media perpetuates false images of right-wingers (so much for the “liberal media”) . . . to the falsehood that Republicans bring us smaller government, Glenn lays it out beautifully." —Alan Colmes

"The peerless Glenn Greenwald."—Josh Marshall

"One of the best political commentators out there . . .Unlike most other bloggers, Greenwald practices journalism . . . Few others are better than Greenwald at sussing out the accidental propaganda inflicted on us by the mainstream press" —The Village Voice

"Perhaps the most influential civil-liberties writer on the Web" —The American Prospect

"Blogosphere superstar" —Mother Jones

"Among the most intelligent and widely read practitioners of blogging" —GQ

The Greenwalds are sanctimonious prigs and purveyors of spin and half-truths. In my opinion, the Glenns are liars. When they are called a Marshall peerless, a Mother Jones superstar and a Colmes beautiful layer how do they continue to insist against all hope that they are conservative? The Greenwalds are putzes without any hard facts.

Veiled Ignorance Can Still Be Seen Obama

Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women
Story Highlights
Crimes against women in Iraq's south have included killings and amputations
Police chief: "Two women were killed in front of their kids"
Not wearing headscarves, other violations of "Islamic teachings" bring crimes
Woman tells CNN "fear is always there," but "we don't know who to be afraid of"

And these are the pigs that Osbama wants to sit have a chat with and by simply adding in some reason, everybody will go home for the better with the problems solved.

McCain: Obama’s ‘meet, talk and hope approach’ is ‘dangerously naïve in international diplomacy.’ “Meet, talk, and hope may be a sound approach in a state legislature, but it is dangerously naive in international diplomacy where the oppressed look to America for hope and adversaries wish us ill.”

His lack of experience, naivité and complete ignorance of how the world works is scary. Who else thinks that a group of guys who maim, mutilate, amputate and murder over headscarves are willing to have a nice chat and change their ways?

Global Warming's Got 20" for Ohio

And we got all of it. Even churches are closed. Today, global warming will cause the temperature to soar to 32 degrees making all that shoveling very hot work indeed.

It's 3 AM, Where Is Hillary's Integrity?

Wow, Democrats have a quandry. Do they want an untested Socialist just because he is a black man with an opinionated wife and they both work for the Chicago Machine or do they want the other couple that is known to have real trouble with the truth, the law and each other?

Nobel winner: Hillary Clinton's 'silly' Irish peace claims

Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.

"I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around," he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely "the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets" during elections. "She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player."

Mrs Clinton has made Northern Ireland key to her claims of having extensive foreign policy experience, which helped her defeat Barack Obama in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday after she presented herself as being ready to tackle foreign policy crises at 3am.

"I helped to bring peace to Northern Ireland," she told CNN on Wednesday. But negotiators from the parties that helped broker the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 told The Daily Telegraph that her role was peripheral and that she played no part in the gruelling political talks over the years.

Global Warming Dumps On Ohio (Again)

Do you really think that climate versus weather thing is going to play in a state that keeps getting hammered?

FUGLY By Half

Hecker had to make a herculean effort to design and produce so much discord and ugliness in one place.

Israel

Slide56: I do not know if you are familiar with this very strange housing project. It was designed in the early 1970's by Architect Zvi Hecker in Ramot. This is a another "period piece" - a completely crazy project, not very pleasant to live in, but was the result of the aforementioned attitude of the Ministry of Housing which was condemned for the construction of ugly monotonous buildings. When in the 1970s, the Ministry of Housing felt that they had to give a free hand to architects, one architect who made good use of such freedom was Zvi Hecker who designed this.

Democrats Eating Their Own

Just like "republicans" are doing over John McCain, Democrats are doing over their choice for their nominee.

Just as Democrats are the proud owners of liberals and progressives, Republicans are made of moderates, conservatives, libertarians and now, arrogant political morons, but back to the Democrats for a moment.

More on the Osama for Obama tees

In this is a guideline on how to ensure those that you are more closely allied to lose elections.

To the "I will not vote for McCain" crowd I say, I hope you grow up soon or we will have Osama Obama or Hellion Hillary making decisions for us all. If you are too immature, please post your address so those of us who care will know where to send their thanks.

Vermont & New Hampshire Citizens Vie For 'Most Arrogantly Stupid' Mantle

At a time that 50 plus million people have been freed from terrorists and our soldiers are risking their lives to not only fight on our behalf, but also to drive a wedge between extremists and the true believers of Islam, here in America there are people that are so stupid they actually spew slogans of support for the troops, hate for their mission and to impeach their Commander-in-chief.

These people are laughable and only believed by like minded idiots and their allies, our enemies.

2 Vt. Towns Approve Bush-Cheney Indictment
Attorney Lacks Authority To Make Arrest On Symbolic Vote

Everybody knows the vote is more symbolic than substantive, but organizer Kurt Daims said the one thing that people can take from this is that it can be done.

Senate candidate calls for Bush’s arrest
Calling President George Bush "the worst president in the history of the United States," Independent U.S. Senate candidate Laurie Dobson stood on the steps of Town Hall Tuesday and called upon the town to indict Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as war criminals.

Too bad there aren't laws that allow for the indictment the criminally stupid if only to protect them from themselves.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Hillary got her huge victory in Ohio where the pesky "new" voters didn't show in the numbers the Obamer needed. In my precinct which has a liberal arts college I saw fewer students voting and a decided lack of students of color. Not much "change" for out of work and out of luck blue collars whose necks are still red and they are keeping her alive.

Texas, well, Texas shoulda, coulda been, but wasn't, but a sqeaker for Hill and the John. The Huck did well, better than expected and the Area 51 voters coptered in for a big night for the doctor. The Huck dropped out while the doctor will labor on.

Brunner - Obama "cherrypicked" precincts to keep open

Reportedly they were black precincts that will vote for Obama and Brunner didn't figure that out until six minutes to nine. Sharp lady, eh?

9:50 1191 McCain Claims Nomination

"I never expected to be president."

You aren't yet.

10:19- Cuyahoga voting still not being reported.

9:10 Ohio Too Close For Hillary Final Purchase

And Huckabee appears to be bowing out this evening at 9:15.

9:19 - Huck has made the call, he's out.

9:32 - Huckabee's withdrawal speech was much longer than Travis' speech that he quoted in toto. Thank you for your effort and thank you for stopping your speech.

7:51 PM Brunner Muzzels Results

Brunner steps in it as usual. Obbbbbbbbama is in court in Cuyahoga and Sandusky screws the pooch once again. Brunner should call her good "friend" Marcy Kaptur and ask why the Dems in Northwest Ohio can't get their normal scams and election fraud polling straight. It's not like they haven't had time to plan the graveyard GOTV effort.

Personally, I blame Ken Blackwell, oh, and George Bush. And Karl "with a K" Rove.

7:56 - FOX is reporting McCain with 66%. No word on Cuyahoga and Sandusky. Not there'd be a Republican total either place anyway. Except for the honorable Ben Keeler on the banks of the river that burned.

8:00 - Obbbbbbama now wants more voting time in Cuyahoga AND Franklin counties. It takes time to get those voters from place to place. We're now supposed to wait until 9:00 PM.

8:08 - aol news has Hillary at 56% with Obama at 42 % with 0% of the vote in Ohio. Guess the snitch in Brunner's office for aol didn't get the memo tonight.

8:52 - Hopefully all the money transactions in Cuyahoga, Sandusky and Franklin county are almost complete so we can start hearing Obama stealing the vote results.

Cottage City/Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

This is a very interesting and fun place. It is still very much intact.

A Brief History of Cottage City: Camp Meetings and Growth

The camp meeting movement in the United States began in Kentucky and Appalachia before the 1820s as religious vehicles that were also important as social gatherings. They were held annually in a particular district where participants would travel 50-100 miles to attend. Camp meetings were first introduced by Presbyterians but soon after included Baptists and Methodists newly converted by the teachings of John Wesley. In no time at all Methodists of New England began to hold their own camp meetings. The first camp meeting in Cottage City
was held in 1835 and the gatherings grew as steamboats brought companies from New Bedford and Fall River, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island. The development of Cottage City is credited to its success as having the largest Methodist Camp Meeting Association in the world. For that one week in August of 1835, nine men from nearby Edgartown decided to separate themselves from the comforts of the town to head into the woods to find a place where they could pray. This place, the headland of East Chop, full of tall oak trees and overlooking Nantucket Sound, is where they pitched their tents. They found that the event was so "invigorating" to the spirit that they returned the next year. Soon a few mainlanders joined them, and some fell in love with the beauty of the land and water, and the healthful saltiness of the air. They too began to come back year after year.

Within a generation, the annual Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting was the most famous Methodist revival meeting in the country, and gingerbread cottages were rising up on the wooden platforms where the participants first used tents during the meetings. Visitors arrived by the thousands from all over New England to watch the religious spectacle in what was coming to be known as the 'Cottage City' of America. In the summer of 1863, it was still possible to wander through this wilderness of oak and meadow on the old Camp Ground and see not a single permanent building. Ten years later the oak and meadow were gone and soon, a village would have to be built in order to house the faithful.

Around 1872 the town today known as Oak Bluffs was built. The town encircled the original Camp Ground where the cottages now stood as the main street around the grounds was called Circuit Avenue. Contrary to the spiritual pursuits of the original members, the town around the Camp Grounds was quickly becoming a bustling, commercial place. The participants of the Camp Ground attempted to separate themselves by building a picket fence between them and the expanding town, and the interior remains today a place of peace and tranquility.

Before the town of Cottage City was incorporated in 1880, it was still considered a part of Edgartown but the inhabitants were trying to separate themselves legally from Edgartown, which it felt was taking tax money and offering little or nothing in the way of services in return. Finally, in 1880, Cottage City became official but eventually, the name would be changed again, this time to Oak Bluffs in 1907.

Obama, Muslims & Ohio

Ohio Muslims unite behind Obama
As Ohio prepares to vote on Tuesday for the candidates it would like to see running for the US presidency, Matthew Wells talks to Muslims in Cleveland who are impressed by Barack Obama.

A large majority of Muslim-Americans voted for George W Bush on the road to the White House eight years ago.

But now their support seems to be coalescing around an African-American senator, whose first name derives from the Arabic word for blessing.

Among them are the 60,000 Muslims of the economically depressed Cleveland area.
They are mostly middle-class naturalised citizens, disappointed with the Bush administration's record and with a powerful sense that their religion has been misrepresented in the years since 9/11.

The city boasts Ohio's largest mosque, based around a large prayer hall that would sit comfortably in the capitals of the Middle East.

A group of men from the mosque, led by the centre's president, Faud Hamed, spoke to BBC News after evening prayers.

There was exasperation at the on-going war, and a sense that social justice - a central tenet of Islam - is being ignored: "We all know that in the US Constitution it calls for peace and justice, but if we look around the world do we see any peace and justice?"

I would think that a majestic mosque, the right to practice your religion without fear and not having ethnic and religious violence swirling through your life is a step toward peace and justice. More so than in the countries you fled to come here. I would also suggest that your "religion has been misrepresented in the years since 9/11" because you have allowed extremists to use your religion for evil purposes with no repercussions from you.

America welcomes those who wish to join in the American dream. We are a nation of immigrants. Because of that we wish to bring freedom and peace to all nations, not bring the problems of our ancestral homes here to America.

Strickland Loves Hillary & Hillary Loves Me

My Gov Ted must be in DC measuring for drapes because he just called me from Northern Virginia (703 637-9323) to urge me to do what's right for Ohio and vote for Hillary tomorrow. That man, he just cares so much, but I worry that if joins the Hillary Administration he will get to see his wife even less.

Okay, What Has Obama Done?

Name one thing.
