Quotes of the day
posted at 10:30 pm on July 29, 2009 by Allahpundit
“What’s most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn’t a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it’s now encouraged. And all of this could turn ACTUAL journalists into the next Howard Beales. It’s getting nuts that the folks who are creating the perception of an ideological/polarized media world are people who have never really spent their lives being journalists… Of course, Beck’s crazy language could have one unintended consequence: It could cost him bookings with any Republicans who want to be popular outside Beck’s hard-core bizarro-land viewers.”

Come to think of it wasn’t Poe from MD? liberal343 gave us his version of the ‘Tell Tale Heart’.

Upstater85 on July 29, 2009 at 11:56 PM
Does anybody know what happened to MB4? Somebody asked a while back if he’d been banned and I told them it was virtually impossible, but I haven’t seen MB4 since so I did a search and found a thread wherein somebody claimed that he’d been banned because of a dispute with Ed about the number of Jacko threads. Can anybody confirm this and/or provide a link, (or at least a hint to help me find the thread)?
And if he was banned, does anybody know where else MB4 hangs out?
FloatingRock on July 29, 2009 at 11:56 PM
night, foxy
blatantblue on July 29, 2009 at 11:57 PM
Everything Obama has done to present certainly points to a preponderance of evidence that is he consumed with, at least, class warfare. How much of this class warfare (which can easily be co-mingled with racial warfare in some instances)is a function of his idealistic socialism (learned at Harvard)or of overt racism (learned on Chicago streets or with Jeremiah Wright) is not 100 % clear.
Obama certainly seems to think that reparations (for imaginary past sins by whites) are not enough. Some have suggested that his massive spending orgies have been done deliberately to drive still-white dominated America to third world status.If so, Obama is little more than an Iraqi suicide bomber-for as America goes, so goes Obama.
What I have seen, so far, is a totally corrupt and totally over-matched small-time hustler with a socialist bent who is totally overwhelmed by his job (which he never would have gotten by his qualifications alone) and his strings are being pulled behind the curtain by skilled puppeteers.

ladyingray on July 29, 2009 at 11:57 PM
No idea. Some of us were speculating earlier.
Dude, if he got banned and people like liberal343 are still around, then maybe Ed needs to re-evaluate ban-hammer… that is if it’s true.
Upstater85 on July 29, 2009 at 11:57 PM
I’ve been wondering that as well. I’ve missed his quoted quotes that were always relevant.

You know, Ann must be disappointed she hasn’t been the source of obsession for a while. Time for her to get out there and say something worthy again- or stop advertising so heavily.

As long as you don’t put your faith in this one man, nothing too bad can happen.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Or is it epsilonic?
Is epsilonic a word? It should be. I’ve heard people use it.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:05 AM
Night, Cindy!
ladyingray on July 30, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Equality banned?!?!? When, Where, Why, How???
FontanaConservative on July 30, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Yes… it is a word! Even though spell check doesn’t like it.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:06 AM
I had a cousin in MD who was epsilonic. Racist, but I still felt sorry for him.
Limerick on July 30, 2009 at 12:07 AM
I’m beginning to think it is true.
(paragraph about Ed deleted)
Ed, AP, what’s the deal? How ’bout commuting the ban to a suspension; time served?

How much do you pay your writer?
ladyingray on July 30, 2009 at 12:09 AM
Like Upstater (and Beck) says, don’t put your faith in Beck alone – get out and be heard, write letters, send emails, make phone calls, wake up the remainder of the sleeping giant.
VibrioCocci on July 30, 2009 at 12:09 AM
Thanks, Upstate85.
(BTW, does that name mean “The Upstate” as in South Carolina, Greenville/Spartanburg?)

But what the hell is MB4 doing on that list?
FloatingRock on July 30, 2009 at 12:11 AM
…and she claims come into the house to hunt snakes… it’s her theory.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:11 AM
I will admit nothing…
:D
ladyingray on July 30, 2009 at 12:11 AM
What is so funny about that statement is that black people are most racist of all, especially towards other races. I worked in Camden, NJ for many years. Not only do you have the light skinned vs. the dark skinned, they separate themselves right down to how straight their hair is. And forget Hispanic and Asians, blacks have no tolerance for them.
ctmom on July 30, 2009 at 12:11 AM
The vast majority of today’s Black Americans don’t either. Some of us, think that having our favorite government program cut, having to show up on time for work, and having people who work hard to earn a living get to keep some of their earnings instead of having it redistributed are forms of racist behavior.
While these liberals, are standing around blaming their every shortcoming on white racism/slavery, and shopping their list of grievances to various and sundry state officials for redress; every immigrant community that comes this country has gotten their act together after a couple of generations, but not the black community they are far too smart for this.
Getting an education, and getting married before starting a family would drag the black community right off the Liberal Democrat plantation.
If black youth put the effort they put into sports, into math and science we wouldn’t be encountering all of this so called racisms. We would be filling so many high paying jobs we wouldn’t have the time or need for it.
If White people are so evil and racist why doesn’t the Asian community have similar problems with racism?
The greatest thing that could happen to Black America would be to have all government entitlement programs have a 5 year sunset date, at least for us anyway.
Kjeil on July 30, 2009 at 12:11 AM
Why try? Especially when you can be like Barack Obama without knowing much of anything…
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:13 AM
Or, more constructively, a link to the offense, (in context), that led to the ban should be included.

I think that’s probably fiction—instead, Ed toasted MB4. Maybe I wouldn’t blame him if I knew the circumstances, but I’ve known MB4 far longer than Ed so until then….
FloatingRock on July 30, 2009 at 12:17 AM
He’s the bong designer with a patent to his name that writes for a professional journalist while having his toenails clipped. Right?

Nothing is ever confusing with the study of Hipster.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:18 AM
Who will imply he might sue you WITHOUT threatening you.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:18 AM
Rokemronnie is the “libertarianish” troll (he is) that writes out cars through PajamasMedia (that got guntotter’s e-mail) and implied he might sue people for libel.
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:20 AM
Oh and he’s a bong designer…
Upstater85 on July 30, 2009 at 12:20 AM
Cool! A day or two ago I expressed an interest in having Equality banned, (at least I think it was Equality).
I can’t believe MB4 is gone, though.

ladyingray on July 30, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Some LOL comments on HA tonight!
On a serious note: I get that Beck isn’t for everyone. Is anyone? Why do we have to eat our own all the time? Can’t we just agree that if we’re getting our message out to people who might not normally pay attention it’s a good thing? I’m getting sick of the redneck/blue collar (whatever word fits here) vs. elite argument. I’ll admit that I have become sick of “DC insiders complanining about Palin and Palin conservatives”. I’ve also gotten sick of conservatives attacking “elites”. Where does it all get us at the end of the day?
thevastlane on July 30, 2009 at 12:26 AM
That’s great, but right now I’m thinking that in the next few days I’m going to be banned right along with MB4. :(
FloatingRock on July 30, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Naw… I don’t think AP uses the ban hammer as much… just don’t get on Ed’s bad side I guess…

Gates overreacts to a reasonable police investigation, Obama overreacts to Gates’s overreaction, then Beck overreacts to Obama’s overreaction, and everybody’s upset. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

True, but he needs to come back under the pseudonym of MB4 or else it won’t be the same. There should be no subterfuge.
