Jon Stewart Explains The Effort Of Hate: Photos
JON Stewart instructs his followers in what hate really looks likes-like:
If we amplify everything, we hear nothing … There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and Theocrats. But those are titles that must be earned. You must have the resume. Not being able to distinguish between real racists and Tea Partiers and real bigots and Juan Williams or Rick Sanchez is an insult not only to those people, but to the racists themselves who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate.

Dustin Dominiak Fails To Have Sex With Christine O’Donnell For Money: Photos
GAWKER paid Dustin Dominiak money – reportedly soemthing in the “low four figures” – to tell the world about his failing to have sex with Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell (Reports allege it is him being the anonymous article). He also told us about her pubic hair – she had some. Yep, Dominiak got close enough to see a real woman’s actual public hair but still failed to shag her.
Still, he made some cash telling the story of his amazing sex life. So it wasn’t a total dead loss. The media reacts:
Masturbation’s Best
From the moment she won the primary, O’Donnell was sexualized by the left with the excuse being O’Donnell’s 1996 video regarding masturbation. That 14-year old tape has been the focus of jokes and ridicule without let up. - Hot Air
Wrong Man
The Smoking Gun reports that Brad Kurisko might actually be the friend of Christine O’Donnell’s one-night-stand-that-wasn’t. The site is instead putting its money on 28-year-old Dustin Dominiak. The Village Voice says it’s figured out the identity of the man who detailed his “one-night stand” with Christine O’Donnell: Brad Kurisko, a 28-year-old Boy Scouts executive. – Slate
If All Fails Call Her Names
Remy Stern, the site’s editor, told the Guardian: “It was a compelling story and we stand by it. It speaks to a certain hypocrisy given her views on sexuality.” – Guardian

Christine O’Donnell’s Pubic Hair Turns Gawker Into A Tabloid Whore
GAWKER is in a spot of bother with its story on Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s pubic hair. The story is written the first person and details an alleged no-sex sexual encounter between the writer, then aged 25, and Tea Party favourite O’Donnell in her mid-thirties. The story is three years old.
THIS Guy Sold The Story – Dustin Dominiak
It’s the kind of thing you might read in the British tabloids. It’s a salacious, women-hating, sexually-driven smear. The US does not have a tabloid industry like in the UK. It’s tabloids are celebrity targeted and weekly. But Gawker fills the gap for a daily read pretty well. And now it has entered into red-top territory:
O’Donnell’s camp released a statement saying:
“This story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female candidates are forced to deal with.”
That’s right. The tabloids hate ambitious women. If they are also attractive and sexually active, the tabloids will go for them. Gawker is just a tabloid doing what tabloids do.
Photos Of Democrat Politician Krystal Ball Sucking A Dildo Strapped To A Man’s Face
Gawker milks the attention, as it must, and sticks the statement up at the top of its site. It’s the Daily Mail’s Jan Moir approach to journalism – so long as it is offensive, bigoted and sensational and the media becomes the story – good job:
The National Organization for Women (NOW) on Thursday condemned the tabloid website Gawker for publishing an anonymous account: NOW issued a statement late Thursday stating that “sexist, misogynist attacks against women have no place in the electoral process, regardless of a particular candidate’s political ideology.”
“NOW repudiates Gawker’s decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment. And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O’Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere,” said NOW president Terry O’Neill.

Hitler’s Breakfast Was Bread, Marmalade And The Daily Mail
ADOLF Hitler took bread and marmalade for breakfast. He was “mild” mannered and polite during personal exchanges. He hated being watched, preferring the quiet life and to mind his own business.
SS operative Schutze Obernigg, an Austrian deserter, told the Allied forces:
“Hitler was grey and bent, but wore a very satisfied expression. He is mild on personal contact but apt to bang tables and shout during conferences.”
In short, Hitler was the perfect Daily Mail reader, clacking his marmalade-coated tongue at the daily news and banging his fist on the table when anyone impolite or political correctness had gone mad.

United Kingdom 18% More Corrupt Than Denmark – Fact
ACCORDING to Transparency International, the United Kingdom is corrupt. Counties are rated in terms of “cleanliness”. Denmark is the cleanest country on Earth. The lands of open sandwiches and Johnny Jensen scores 9.3 out of 10. It ties for top spot with New Zealand and Singapore.
Finland, Norway and Sweden are all in the Top 10, thus proving that the people who compiled this survey do not consider the assembly instructions for flat-packed furniture to constitute an evil lie.
The United Kingdom is the 20th least corrupt country in the world. It scores 7.6 on the corrupt-ometer. Britons are around 18% more corruptible than Danes. But we are less dishonest than Americans, who languish three places below – separated from us by Chile and Belgium.

Nadine Dorries’ Blogging ‘Lies’ Are A Public Service
NADINE Dorries has a blog. The Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire writes things that are not true. As she says:
My blog is 70% fiction and 30% fact. It is written as a tool to enable my constituents to know me better and to reassure them of my commitment to Mid Bedfordshire. I rely heavily on poetic licence and frequently replace one place name/event/fact with another. – Letter to the Commissioner from Ms Nadine Dorries MP, 1 March 2010
If ever there were a comment that will come back to haunt an MP that surely is it.
Tim Ireland has been onto Dorries for ages. His full version of events is here.
Dorries “twice moved her primary residence, an omission that was described by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards as ‘not acceptable’.”
The watchdog reported that Miss Dorries had been “in breach of the rules of the House” by failing to tell the authorities when she moved her main home to Stratford-upon-Avon in July 2007, and again when she changed address to another property in the area in January 2009.
Neighbours “broadly confirmed” her claim that she spent most of her time in the Cotswolds, and the allegation that she breached rules on allowances was “not upheld”. – Telegraph

IsThatCherDeadYet: Margaret Thatcher Not Dead And Neither Is Cher Lloyd
MARGARET Thatcher is ill in hospital. She is 85. And this site asks one question: IsThatcherDeadYet?
Only time moves on. As one poster on Popbitch points out, the site now reads as:
‘Is that Cher dead yet?’
Cher is Cher Lloyd, of course, the X Factor’s Team America action figure. She is made from plastic bags that take 10,000 years to erode. Maggie is made of iron…

There Are No Spending Cuts: It’s All A Lie
GEORGE Osborne is making cuts that will kill/ save the economy and you – a view formed on what news organ you read. But Richard North can’t see any cuts:
THERE are no cuts. I say again, there are no cuts. What the Cleggerons are talking about is a reduction in the rate of increase in public expenditure as compared with the June budget. This is helpfully summarised here (see left) and the source is here.
You will see that the current financial year expenditure is £696.8 billion. By 2014-15, the projected expenditure was to rise to £757.5 billion. Little George is now proposing that this increase is limited £739.8 billion. This now becomes a 17.7 percent “cut”, albeit that expenditure is still increasing. Read the rest of this entry »

George Osborne Is A Riot 4 Austerity: All Views On Government’s Spending Cuts
GEORGE Osborne’s spending review is making headlines. Here’s what the experts and papers are saying:
The Green Dream Made Real
Time and again, liberal thinkers have told us that we must learn to live with less “stuff”, for the sake of our own sanity and for the good of the people-plagued planet. So don’t be fooled by their crocodile tears today – they laid the cultural foundation stones for this age of hardship.
These austerity hypocrites have short memories. This week, the Guardian’s George Monbiot wrote an angry piece about the Tory-led cuts agenda, claiming that it will help the rich and hurt the rest.
“When we stagger out of our shelters to assess the damage, we’ll discover that we have emerged into a different world, run for their benefit, not ours”, he said.
This is the same Monbiot who wrote a piece in 2007 titled ‘Bring on the recession’.
“I hope that the recession now being forecast by some economists materialises”, he said, because only a recession could give us “the time we need to prevent runaway climate change”.
A recession would hurt poor people, he acknowledged – but that was a price worth paying to halt out-of-control economic growth.
Inspired by Monbiot, in 2008 some deep greens kick-started a campaign called Riot 4 Austerity – which says it all. – Brendan O’Neill
Al Qaeda Dunnit
Al Qaeda have this morning issued a new video in which they claim full responsibility for the devastating Spending Review which rocked the UK yesterday.
The video, which appears to have been put together in something of a hurry, shows several Al Qadea members reading from a list of measures they have claim to have imposed on the UK in a concerted attack on Western imperialism. - News Arse
The Worse Off Are…
However the Institute for Fiscal Studies has told Sky News the spending plans are “regressive” and a chart on page 98 of the official document reveals the bottom 10% of earners will lose the most money from the cuts.
Acting director Carl Emmerson said: “The Treasury’s own figures show the benefit cuts announced today will affect the bottom half more than the top half.
“The cuts to public sector spending will also affect the poorest half rather than the top half. Therefore, everything we have heard about so far indicates the measures are regressive.” - Sky News
Middle Is The New Lower
Households on incomes of £48,700 or more will lose an average of £10,000 during four years of austerity as the Coalition battles to wipe out an unprecedented budget deficit. – Mail
We Are Doomed!
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is taking people for fools if he believes the country will buy his spin that the deepest spending cuts in living memory are fair and unavoidable.
There’s nothing fair about hitting the least well-off hardest, persecuting the sick for being ill and the jobless for losing their jobs.
And there’s nothing unavoidable about ideologically-driven cuts which risk plunging Britain into a second recession. - Mirror
We Win!
In fact, Osborne’s declared road to fiscal sanity has already paid firm dividends in the drop in cost of government borrowing and enough economic confidence to see the creation of some 330,000 jobs this year so far. And the OBR forecasts that the private sector will create three jobs for every one cut in the private sector. - Fraser Nelson
The Plot
Shadow Chancellor Alan Johnson warned the cuts announced in the Comprehensive Spending Review could end up “stifling“ the economic recovery…
For some on the Government benches it was an “ideological objective,” he claimed.
The shadow chancellor acknowledged the “deficit has to be paid down” but said: “Today’s reckless gamble with people’s livelihoods runs the risk of stifling the fragile recovery.” - NeBusiness
George Knows
The back pocket has a history, of course. In his splendid The New MachiavelliJonathan Powell describes how Gordon Brown would also hold back a ‘hidden surprise’ in his Budgets designed to guarantee him Labour cheers when he sat down. “We knew Gordon would have ‘a back pocket’ to pay for that surprise somewhere within the spending limits, and Tony’s constant quest was to find it first and spend it on something else…We got so desperate in 2004 to find out what Gordon was up to that we refused to set a date for the spending round until he would tell us the content.” – Benedict Brogan
