Pam Geller Pushes Her Hate-fest Agenda–Even if it Means Perpetrating a Lie

How low can Pamela Geller sink?

The classification of “honour” killing has just become too much of a dog whistle for the bigotted extremes, these days. Pam Geller is running with it to promote her Islamophobic agenda.

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies. The year of Occupy will have to wait until . . . → Read More: Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

December 6, 22nd Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre–With Every Passing Year, We Seem To Keep Going Backward

Here we are again, boys ‘n’ girls, another somber December 6; another year has come and gone and it is time again to commemorate the Polytechnique Massacre when fourteen young women’s lives were lost at the hands of a deranged misogynist.

A Message For Libyans or Any Citizens In Countries Harper May Be Planning To Invade

If you were planning to work with or for them in any capacity, risking life and limb to do so, think very carefully.  No matter what they may promise to do so, don’t trust them.  Afghan interpreter, Sayed Shah Sharifi, is learning this the hard way, as he was once promised a visa into . . . → Read More: A Message For Libyans or Any Citizens In Countries Harper May Be Planning To Invade

Cons winning a majority is like a junkie winning the lottery

Today’s spending spree? $1.1 billion for armoured vehicles.

What, Iran’s going to invade us?

Or, 555 vehicles to bust kids for smoking dope?

Tough on crime? Cons: gimme another fix quick. Violent crime is way down and it’s making us look bad.

Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”

Southwest Airlines is the product of a true southern sensibility. Meaning there is little sense – or heart – in anything it does. It represents all that is ugly about the US south. Especially lately. It is making a name for itself not for excelling in air service but for evicting passengers for . . . → Read More: Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”

Two powerful Star columns on Islamophobia. The new anti-Semitism. Tactics of Islamophobes.

Haroon Siddiqui hits these columns out of the park. Much needed to be said but our media has been reluctant to shout out the obvious.

‘Islamophobia: The new anti-Semitism‘

Just as the Muslim world turned against the U.S. and Europe, Americans and Europeans turned against Muslims, including their own minorities, nearly half of . . . → Read More: Two powerful Star columns on Islamophobia. The new anti-Semitism. Tactics of Islamophobes.

Stephen Harper’s at the wheel. Tasha Kheirridin rides shotgun. Fear’s in the backseat.

Tasha Kheirridin is a frightened woman. She is terrified of walking outside her door. Perhaps that’s why she wants a man around to protect her from the inconveniences of life, the petty criminals and especially the big bad Muslim men with the big black beards (emphasis mine).

Personally, I’d like to . . . → Read More: Stephen Harper’s at the wheel. Tasha Kheirridin rides shotgun. Fear’s in the backseat.

Harper Sounds Islamophobic Dog Whistle, Again, Just In Time to Commemorate 9/11

In another move back in time, Stevie Spiteful plans to reintroduce two anti-terror clauses that were originally introduced in 2001, but expired in 2007.   Here they are!

One allowed police to arrest suspects without a warrant and detain them for three days without charges if police believed a terrorist act may have . . . → Read More: Harper Sounds Islamophobic Dog Whistle, Again, Just In Time to Commemorate 9/11

Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

Not to mention, no doubt, things to drive American Homeland Security Batty and drive the McCarthyist Tea-bagger paranoid types off to the fainting couches. Norway’s response to the recent terror attacks, quite different from Dubya  Bush’s “We’ll smoke ‘em out!”  vengeance speeches following 9/11 or those crazy security measures like airport body scanners . . . → Read More: Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

What is This? The Most Right Wingnut Contest of Evul?

Boys ‘n’ girls, put your tinfoil hats on! It’s going to be a bumpy ride!

We all know about Michael Coren, pretty much implying that those kids at the Norwegian Labour Party Youth Camp on Utoya Island deserved their fate for being too left winged and too critical of Israel, in addition to . . . → Read More: What is This? The Most Right Wingnut Contest of Evul?

Coren Seems To Think We, Progressives, Are ‘Sewers’ And Please Let’s Not Forget The Victims of The Senseless Tragedy in Norway and May They Never Lose Their Resolve

Jymn published the vile and despicable blogging of Michael ‘cue-ball’ head Coren, earlier today; that miserable blog where he seems to imply that those Norwegian victims seemed to deserve what happened to them.  Now, in Coren’s comment section, Coren seems to be calling those of us who dare to criticize him or anyone . . . → Read More: Coren Seems To Think We, Progressives, Are ‘Sewers’ And Please Let’s Not Forget The Victims of The Senseless Tragedy in Norway and May They Never Lose Their Resolve

Anders Behring Breivik: a Norwegian Timothy McVeigh? UPDATED: “some kind of Oklahoma City-type” device used in explosions

Michelle Malkin, Pam Geller et al. have been screaming “Jihad” all day over the bombings in Norway.

Oops.

A right wing nationalist with an animus towards Muslims? And a Christian conservative? Oh my.

Yes, nice to know that the military industrial complex is still very much a concern on the feeble minds of certain yahoo Harpercons.  According to a cable released by Wikileaks to APTN, it would appear that the now demoted esteemed redneck of Edmonton-Center, Laurie Hawn is a tad disappointed these days.

New Citizenship Guide Chock Full of Hypocrisies And Double Standards and All We Can Do is Slam Justin Trudeau For Semantics?

I wonder if Jason Kenney worded his new citizen’s guide in the way that he did purposely to cause trouble so as to deflect the media and the public at large from his party’s own transgressions? I wouldn’t put it past him, but at the same time, I also believe that ol’ Jason, . . . → Read More: New Citizenship Guide Chock Full of Hypocrisies And Double Standards and All We Can Do is Slam Justin Trudeau For Semantics?

Glenn Beck Too Psycho For Fox News?

Sure looks that way. Rumour has it that his contract won’t be renewed when it ends come this December.
