    NY DAILY NEWS: "A lawmaker has sent a letter to fellow Republican members of the Indiana House saying he will not support a resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts because he believes it is a 'radicalized organization' that supports abortion and promotes homosexuality. In a letter obtained by The Journal-Gazette of Fort Wayne on Monday, Rep. Bob Morris of Fort Wayne said he did some research on the Internet and found allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, allow transgender females to join and encourage sex."

    capnswing: Indiana State Rep reads stupid, insane conspiracy theories on internet, believes them From the letter Bob Morris sent to other Indiana lawmakers, I think the problem starts here: This past week I was asked to sign a House Resolution recognizing the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of America. After talking to some well-informed constituents, I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. As you might guess, it’s straight downhill from there. Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists. World Net Daily, in a May 2009 article, states that Girl Scout Troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing traditional Christmas Carols. Boys who decide to claim a “transgender” or cross-dressing life-style are permitted to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities – just like any real girl. The fact that the Honorary President of Girl Scouts of America is Michelle Obama, and the Obama’s are radically pro-abortion and vigorously support the agenda of Planned Parenthood, should give each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization. And let’s not forget: I have two daughters who have been active in the Girl Scouts of Limberlost Council in Northeastern Indiana. Now that I am aware of the influence of Planned Parenthood within GSA and other surprisingly radical policies of GSA, my two daughters will instead become active in American Heritage Girls Little Flowers organization. In this traditional group they will learn about values and principles that will not confuse their conservative Hoosier upbringing. Because by God no daughters of mine are going to be raised not to hate and fear people that are different from them. Good grief this idiot is from my town (give me somewhere to hide)

  4. Notes: 715 / 6 months ago  from wilwheaton (originally from inothernews)
    Choice quotes from douchenozzle Penn State students via the New York Times story on the riots following Joe Paterno's firing.

    wilwheaton:

    inothernews:

    • “I think the point people are trying to make is the media is responsible for JoePa going down.”  — Penn State freshman on why it was totally okay to overturn a news broadcast truck.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS (from 1-10):  9.
    • “We got rowdy, and we got maced.  But make no mistake, the board started this riot by firing our coach. They tarnished a legend.”  19-year-old Penn Stater, who apparently fails to realize that covering up criminal sexual activity is actually what tarnishes a legend.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS:  10.
    • “It’s not fair.  The board is an embarrassment to our school and a disservice to the student population.”  — 20-year-old Penn Stater, who is apparently not embarrassed that an assistant coach on his school’s football team raped young boys.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS:  11.
    • “This definitely looks bad for our school.  I’m sure JoePa wouldn’t want this, but this is just an uproar now, we’re finding a way to express our anger.”  — Freshman Penn Stater, who is good at stating the obvious and being contradictory all at once.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS:  12.
    • “Of course we’re going to riot.  What do they expect when they tell us at 10 o’clock that they fired our football coach?”  — 24-year-old Penn Stater, who probably didn’t riot when he found out Joe Paterno’s lieutenant raped little boys.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS:  15.
    • “My friends were like, ‘I don’t want to get maced.’   I was like, ‘I don’t want to miss seeing this, so I guess that means I do kind of want to get maced.’”  — Freshman Penn Stater, who I hope was maced.  DOUCHENOZZLE POINTS: 8.

    “Of course we’re going to riot. What do they expect when they tell us at 10 o’clock that they fired our football coach?”

    Yeah, well, obviously. I mean, what could they possibly expect? That you’d act like adults? Or that maybe — just maybe — the firing of a football coach pales in comparison to children being raped? Just what did those silly, silly people expect?

    I’m willing to give the 18 year-olds a little slack, because they’re still trying to find their asses with both hands and tribal identity pretty much trumps everything else at that age. But this fucking idiot douchebag is 24, and is absolutely old enough to know better. I give him or her infinity Get A Fucking Clue You Asshat points.

    "

    Mark Schatzker, a Canadian satirist, told The Lede on Wednesday that it was “a huge surprise” to him to learn that opponents of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States, including Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, have been using this quote, from a 38-year-old protester named Jeremy puzzled by the habits of bankers on Bay Street, in Toronto’s financial district, as evidence that that the protesters are lazy:

    “It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it’s time to go, they’re still there. I guess that’s why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That’s the power of greed.” - Jeremy, 38 

    Mr. Schatzker was surprised because Jeremy is a fictional character he invented recently for his weekly humor column published in Toronto’s Globe and Mail newspaper.

    As the Web site Mediate reported this week, opponents of the protest movement were apparently so pleased to read the quote Mr. Schatzker attributed to Jeremy — a 38-year-old protester puzzled by the habits of bankers on Bay Street, in Toronto’s financial district — that they failed to notice that the column was clearly labelled “Satire” at the very top before copying the text and sharing it by on Facebook, in e-mails, on blogs and even in outraged YouTube videos.

    The fake quote was so widely cited that it even ended up being repeated on Tuesday by Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, at a campaign event.

    The New York Times, “Satirist Surprised His ‘Occupy’ Fiction Was Cited as Fact.”

    LOL Republicans.

    Alternative headline: “People With Common Sense Not Surprised Conservatives Cited ‘Occupy’ Fiction As Fact.”

    1. Tim Zank Says:
      October 29th, 2011 at 12:27 pm

      The New York faction is actually becoming what it set out to destroy:

      http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread768995/pg1

      Bunch of capitalists looking for tax breaks, too funny.

    Yeah, Tim actually used Above Top Secret as a source.

    Above Top Secret.

    ABOVE TOP SECRET.

    AboveTopSecret.com is the Internet’s largest and most popular discussion board community dedicated to the intelligent exchange of ideas and debate on a wide range of “alternative topics” such as conspiracies, UFO’s, paranormal, secret societies, political scandals, new world order, terrorism, and dozens of related topics with a diverse mix of users from all over the world.

    We’ve officially fallen off the edge into loony-land.

    Jeff Weise was also a poster at Above Top Secret and talked about being “pegged as a possible school shooter” one year before murdering 9 in a Killing Spree/Suicide.

    In January 2011, the Washington Post reported that alleged Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner apparently sought community online at Abovetopsecret.com.

    In good company there, Tim Zank.

    Sweet Zombie Jeebus, Chris.

    This is why I no longer have anything to do with the local rag and their comments sections of any sort. Brain-dead bullies like this Zank guy are pretty much the norm there. He certainly talks big on the Internet… but at least we never have to worry about him saying any of those things to anyone’s face at an actual OWS event.

    MOAR: The other day I described how University of Wisconsin-Stout police got all censorious and thuggish about a rather inoffensive Firefly poster and an anti-fascism follow-up. Nathan Fillion and others took notice of the story, spreading it widely. The general hope was that once the matter left the hands of UWS Chief of Police Lisa A. Walter and reached the hands of someone with a room-temperature IQ and even a tenuous grasp of freedom of expression, the problem would be corrected. We should have known better.

    ‘Firefly’ and Anti-Fascism Posters Get Professor Threatened with Criminal Charges on University of Wisconsin Campus MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26, 2011—A professor has been censored twice, reported to the “threat assessment team,” and threatened with criminal charges because of satirical postings on his office door. Campus police at the University of Wisconsin–Stout (UWS) censored theater professor James Miller’s poster depicting a quotation from actor Nathan Fillion’s character in the television series Firefly, and the police chief threatened Miller with criminal charges for disorderly conduct. After UWS censored his second poster, which stated, “Warning: Fascism,” Miller came to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) for help. “Colleges and universities are supposed to foster brave and bold environments of freewheeling intellectual inquiry and expression. If a quote from a network science fiction show is a bridge too far, something has gone seriously wrong,” FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. “As both president of FIRE and a huge Firefly fan, I call on the chancellor of UW–Stout to rein in his overreaching administration and to restore both free speech and basic common sense.” …more…
