Welcome to kindergarten…
- John “Poopy Head” Ruskin compares a journalist — Rich Miller — who covers Springfield and other Illinois political matters to Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Why? Because Miller posted a few facts that put the lie to the spin being promoted by a comrade of Ruskin’s. In his role as a reporter, Miller has gone after Dems, GOPs and even Greens with equal aplomb when they fib, flop or go flakey, as Sen. Steve Rauschenberger has been doing of late in his anti-Obama zeal. This isn’t the first time the pseudonymous Ruskin has flailed around spewing crap instead of keeping his bizarre inanities to himself… (What’s that? There’s a financial stake for the denizens of Illinois Review to prop up the head of the United Republican Fund, an organization that so many of them also help operate? Go figure…)
- Jill “Likes Sex Ed” Stanek once compared an incumbent, duly elected State Senator to a porn star and, when called out for her depravity, upped the ante by continuing to make a fool of herself. Why? Because said State Senator was advocating for a vaccine that former nurse Stanek didn’t like. Instead of rational debate, are porn references really how Jill would rather get her jollies?
- Lee “Wets His Pants” Newcom recently claimed a Democratic candidate for Congress was “aiding terrorists” even though she’s not even in Congress. Why? Because he has nothing better to do at his day job working for the citizens of McLean County, apparently. Or perhaps it’s because he has no valid explanation for why he would choose to trample on our Constitution instead of upholding our rights.
And an honorable dunce cap mention must go to ilgopnet.com’s Warner Todd “Has a Problem Alright” Huston, for comparing a duly elected, incumbent Congresswoman to a brutal African dictator simply because she wants folks to be able to eat their dinner in peace.
Someone calling out your comrades on their lies? Call ‘em a Unabomber!
Upset that a legislator is advocating potentially life-saving medicine? Compare her to a porn star and ask about her sex life.
A legislator running for Congress from the party you oppose? Squeal like a stuck pig that they’re “aiding terrorists” even though they’re not even in office (yet) and they don’t even know any terrorists in the first place … all while trying to hide from the fact that you want to literally rip out parts of the Bill of Rights.
Crabby because a Democratic Congresswoman is sitting in a seat you thought should go to a Republican? Claim that some innocuous legislative proposal is akin to the dictatorial policies of a madman.
Congrats conservative partisans, with each passing day you seem wont to gleefully dig your own vacuous holes of irrelevance that much deeper. It used to be that the conservative philosophy had some meaning. Now that Pres. Bush has implemented many conservative policies and they’re failing miseable, those scales are falling from people’s eyes and all the con partisans have left are their insults and self-pity.
At least you guys are good at comedy, even if unintentionally so.
(And, Ruskin, if it’s Miller time it’s MGD for me — though lately I’ve been reaching for a nice cold Berghoff. …Woof.)
Update: “A Republican Committeeman in Aurora, IL” makes the same points in a much more forgiving manner…
If we spent a lot less time on this sort of stuff and more time on facts and logical arguments I think we would be in better shape. You don’t save too many people preaching the same message to choir.
If you think his facts or analysis is wrong provide reasons not cute little things about ’secret locations’.
By spending “a lot less time on this sort of stuff” I take it to mean OneMan isn’t a fan of calling people “poodles”. 
I tend to find that sort of dysfunctionally juvenile crap hysterically funny, however, and (obviously) enjoy going toe to toe with that sticks-and-stones crowd. Somebody’s gotta do it or “Ruskin” might get an ego as big as his (poopy) head.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the thin-skinned “Ruskin” up and calls OneMan a Nazi just for pointing out the obvious.
Did you know that if you put unpopped popcorn kernels in the turkey they’ll pop while it’s roasting and you’ll have instant popcorn stuffing?
Hilariously, that apparently was one of the few goofball remarks that Illinois Review contributors failed to post in their Day of Doody.
Archpundit takes the Review gang to task by highlighting such gems as Jill Stanek linking (in all seriousness) to kooky claims that Terry Schiavo was fully aware despite having nearly half her brain literally and sadly being liquified and George Dienhart rambling on about what he believes are qualifications for being considered anti-American, including opposing Pres. Bush’s failing NCLB of all things. (Arch also points out Fran Eaton’s two-faced regurgitation of anti-Bob Creamer points. I’ll have more on that in a bit.)
But while you’re passing the popcorn and cracking up over the Ill Reviewers’ inanities, don’t forget to read their best Alfred E. Neuman impression in the whiney comments from Ms. Stanek and Mr. Dienhart who, unfortunately for them, don’t read what they write and link to…
These people want to be considered serious? (Worse, anyone actually takes them seriously?)
It’s ok, though. I hear Bill Clinton made them do it… perhaps by using his sax appeal.
(As an aside, good thing Ron Paul fan C-Rock hasn’t tracked down George Dienhart’s anti-Paul squeel. He might find a new blog to enjoy. …I do find it really bizarre that Paul supporters were calling uber-conservative Mr. Dienhart “lefty”. So much in-fighting, so many kilobytes in which to do it.)
For some time now Fran Eaton and Jill Stanek of Illinois Review have been strapping on their mean-girl knickers and poking fun at State Sen. Debbie Halvorson with goofy title posts generally along the lines of a series of porn movies which also use the name “Debbie”. (The goofy title posts are poor attempts at humor, which is in and of itself a poor attempt at covering up the utter vacuousness of their whining about Sen. Halvorson.)
Why they do this is a bit inexplicable. For a pair of cons who profess an abhorrence to “deviancy” and “pornography” they sure seem to get their giggles from referencing same. Well, joy of joys, their streak of silliness may last well into 2008…
Rich Miller’s “This Just In” reports via Politico that State Sen. Halvorson will be seeking to replace the controversial Republican Congressman Jerry Weller, who is retiring amidst a storm of questions over his Central American land deals and simultaneous legislative activity bolstering the profitability of people conducting business in the field of Central American land deals…
With the State Senate Majority Leader jumping into this race for an open Congressional seat in a very purple district, this race is sure to be top tier from the get-go given the prime opportunity to flip it from red to blue.
So after weeks of newspaper reports pointing out ethical challenges, a Republican Congressman who married into an allegedly dastardly family and has been conducting questionable land deals in foreign countries (while simultaneously advocating legislation which may benefit his land deals) announces he’s going to retire.
Forget about the fact that Republican incumbent is on CREW’s list of the most corrupt Congressmen.
Fran Eaton instead goes back to her bag of crapola tricks to again reference porn in criticizing one of the possible candidates to replace the retiring Congressman with a post called “Will Debbie do the 11th CD?” in a reference to Dem State Sen. Debbie Halvorson and the retirement of Repub Congressman Jerry Weller, whose home is now in Guatemala with his family.
Notoriously irrational con partisan Jill Stanek (who has yet to meet a common sense posting that she won’t try to delete) started the idiocy some months back with a series of blogposts questioning State Senator Halvorson’s sexual history and Ms. Eaton gleefully defended her friend and fellow Illinois Review contributor by saying the entire Ill Review blog “proudly” stood against a vaccine which helps prevent cervical cancer. In essence, the perky pair were happy to reference porn if it got them the same attention it got Howard Stern (and for a few days it did).
I’m not even going to bother linking to Ms. Eaton’s latest junior high-level myopic ad hominem about Sen. Halvorson. It’s not worth cloggin’ those Internets. But here’s a sample of Ms. Eaton’s fantasizing:
The old girls [of progressive organization EMILY's List] are now simply tingly about the thought of Debbie in the 11th CD.
If Sen. Halvorson runs in the 11th, the collar counties of Will, Grundy and Kankakee will be exposed to intense, provocative political action they’ve probably never seen before.
And we thought it couldn’t get any more exciting in Illinois . . .whew. Got a cigarette?
Normal folks panned their BS. Yet, Ms. Eaton just can’t seem to let a stupid idea go. And, her attempts at erotic locutions don’t hold a candle to those of her fellow conservatives Scooter Libby and Second Lady Lynne Cheney.
And these conservative ne’er-do-wells wonder why they don’t get taken seriously in Illinois….
“Tingly?”
Jill “breathless about sexuality” Stanek is all hot and bothered because anti-abortion protesters outside the planned Gemini Office Development medical complex in Aurora (a tenant of which is scheduled to be Planned Parenthood) were told by police that they had to keep their signs and other political material in motion, in order to follow local sign ordinances.
Maybe the folks at the staunchly partisan Thomas More Law Center who are now engaged in helping the anti-privacy extremists wend their way through court could combine forces with the DuPage Duo who were arrested (arrested!) in DuPage County for holding up signs protesting the White House.
Maybe…
Jill “Likes her ‘Debbie Does’ Series” Stanek is questioning the new health clinic in Aurora, which was developed by a group called Gemini Office Development, LLC.
Apparently, on some paperwork filed with the City of Aurora, the Gemini developers stated the tenant was unknown at the time the paperwork was filled out. (The Chicago Tribune broke the story a few weeks back that the Gemini clinic’s main client was going to be Planned Parenthood; thus Ms. Stanek’s knee-jerk reaction to any news about the clinic.)
Where else have we heard the “I can’t recall” claim? That’s right, with our very own disgraced Attorney General — the most forgetful guy in DC.
Jill Stanek doesn’t seem to have any problem with Alberto “I have no recollection of that” Gonzales or his boss, Pres. Bush. Wonder why that is.
Now, to be fair, Gemini Office Development could very [well] not have known who all the tenants would be at the time of their permit applications. Indeed, since it is the goal of the anti-privacy extremists to evict Planned Parenthood before the clinic is even finished, how could Gemini have known whether or not Planned Parenthood would even be able to move in?
Moreover, Ms. Stanek’s ardent anti-woman stance flies in the face of her self-proclaimed “pro-life” attitude. As Steve Trombley of Planned Parenthood clearly stated, 90% of their healthcare work in the area is related to reproductive healthcare — education, exams, screenings, treatment for STDs and other issues. Perhaps Ms. Stanek, a nurse by profession, would rather these women who seek medical attention suffer some horrible fate at the hands of a disease rather than see a doctor (she’s already made it quite clear where she stands on viruses that lead to cervical cancer).
As noted in the Tribune story linked above, it’s odd that the anti-Planned Parenthood extremists needed to bus in protesters from as far away as Virginia. Why are conservative partisans so against science and medicine that they would go to such lengths against a women’s clinic that isn’t even open yet?
A few choice quotes that Nurse Stanek chose to ignore, from the Aurora Beacon-News (part of the Sun Times News Group):
“It’s a legal use and it’s going to be up to them (Planned Parenthood) to see if it’s going to be a peaceful use in the neighborhood,” [Aurora Alderman Chris] Beykirch said. “The tactics of pro-life supporters isn’t always savory.” (sic)Trombley said Planned Parenthood was open with city staff and committee members about the development being used as a doctor’s office.
“They don’t inquire of other providers (which types of medical services will be offered),” he said. “We were very open about the fact we were putting a medical office there.”
(emphasis added)
Today, Jill Stanek takes issue with Rudy “Likes to Wear Women’s Clothes” Giuliani’s abortion stance. She criticizes his recent Fox News interview in which the former mayor and current lucrative security businessman says:
I know what my positions are. A very, very big portion of my party agrees with that. A certain portion of my party disagrees with that.
Jill “Chinese People Eat Babies” Stanek then goes on to quote some statistics in an effort to pull a fast one:
From the New York Times, May 10: In a New York Times/CBS News poll in March, 41 percent of Republicans thought abortions should be prohibited, compared with 23 percent of Americans in general; in addition, 53 percent of Republicans said they wanted a Republican presidential nominee who would make abortions more difficult to get.
Mayor Giuliani was identifying that 41% as his “certain portion” … meaning 59% ostensibly are either neutral about his position or in fact lean toward his position of a right to medical privacy. That’s called comparing apples to apples — Mayor Giuliani stands for medical privacy* as does a majority of the Republican Party (while a “certain portion” of Republicans does in fact believe medical decisions are best left to the government and favor bans on various medical procedures).
But Nurse Stanek decided to have some fun with those numbers and make it appear that the stat the mayor was actually discussing was that 53% number — the number of Republicans who would prefer a candidate who promised to make access to medical procedures more restrictive. That’s not what the Mayor was talking about. In order to promote her own partisan agenda (which is more extreme than the mayor’s), she stoops to comparing apples to oranges in this case.
* - Nurse Stanek may want to do some more reading on the Republican candidates. Not a single one of them is in favor of less restrictions on medical procedures or relaxing those already in place (at least unless Gov. Mitt Romney changes his mind again).
Based on the pixelated, out of focus picture Nurse Jill Stanek is using to claim someone had a fetus in a paper bag near an abortion clinic … it’s not clear if it’s actually what she says it is or simply someone’s lunch. Given the setting and the bag holder’s supposed reaction, Ms. Stanek is likely correct about the contents — sad as that may be.
But curiously enough for someone so adamant in her supposed opposition to all things sexual abortion, Ms. Stanek doesn’t call this a baby, a fetus or even an “unborn baby” in her title. She labels it “Junk“.
Odd, but apparently she thinks an apparent aborted fetus is “junk”. So be it.
Listen, no one’s for abortions. No one. It’s unclear why those like Ms. Stanek cannot allow themselves to understand this. We as a society ought to be doing everything we can to make these medical procedure as rare as possible (Pres. Clinton’s famous line was “safe, legal and rare” … though Jill Stanek refers to other famous lines she prefers as she goes about spinning abortion). This is why I support Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Prevention First Act, S. 20, an open, honest and comprehensive policy solution.
The problem lies in that most conservative-partisans along the lines of Ms. Stanek actually oppose sex, and thus oppose anything related to trying to help people who may encounter complications from sex. This explains everything from her strident opposition to abortion all the way to her acidic vitriol against those promoting HPV vaccinations. It also explains why they so vehemently oppose anything related to sex.
But that doesn’t stop Jill Stanek from pushing the most recent urban legend.
The article she links to is a summary of an article by The Next Magazine in Epoch Times. Of course, Epoch Times has a colorful history claiming 100,000 people in modern day concentration camps and live organ harvesting. The Next Magazine is something like a little more credible than Weekly World News, less trustworthy than National Enquirer.
Thinking about it, it’s only appropriate that Stanek and Illinois Review would cite it as a reasonable source.
I fail to see how my marriage is at all harmed if two gay people are in love and also want to get married. Former Gov. Mitt Romney’s Bay State has had legal marriage for all consenting couples for a few years now. The Mass. Supreme Court correctly saw it as a fundamental issue of liberty and equality in the eyes of the law.
