The Post of the Day (from Suzie) will raise funds for worthy causes
Grafic by Dan
Note from Dan: Most of the regulars here are familiar with the prolific RW poster who goes by the nickname Suzie. Today Suzie made a satiric post in which she suggested she should charge $800 an hour for reading the comments here. In response, many regulars agreed to donate money for each post she makes, to a cause that she hates. A list of those pledges follows her rant. Anyone else care to make a pledge?
“After several mind-numbing exchanges with the blogger known as Sandi Saunders this morning, I am revisiting an idea I’ve tossed around lately: instituting a fee structure for my time on the blog. Based on last year’s returns, I’m thinking of charging about $800 an hour for the dyspeptic sensations I have to endure listening to the circular dimwitted uninformed opinions of libs in here. If I charged such a fee, perhaps it would make folks think twice about posting dunderheaded drivel.
I hate to sound arrogant, but the intellectual disparity I encounter in here is truly a cross I bear. Stooping down to endure the simpleton unreasonable, illogical stuff is getting to be more than I can stand. But charging a fee might make it bearable. And at $800 an hour, even if it’s two months rent on your mobile homes, it would be a bargain for you.
As an illustration, can you imagine a giant thinker like Rush Limbaugh sitting in a bar listening to some plastered moron’s political views? How long would he put up with it? Three seconds?. Well that’s very much how I feel, so why should I put up with it?
And having to continually re-explain cases I’ve made months ago, then leftwingers returning to the same disproven statements — well, that’s very similar to getting my toenails yanked out one by one with a pair of heavy-duty pump pliers. So I want compensation.”
For each post Suzie makes, the following will donate money to the charity of their choice, in Suzie’s honor:
Hillary — National Abortion Rights Action League
Kristen — Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity
Henry — Will kill a puppy (or maybe a tree) for every post Suzie makes.
Blacksburg Suz — Obama re-election campaign, or the Leadership Conference of Women Religious
Jayne — Planned Parenthood and the Obama campaign.
dave — Planned Parenthood
Debbie — The Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
13 Suns — Planned Parenthood and Ron’s college
Any more pledges out there? Hey folks, when you write the check, note that it’s in “In honor of ‘Suzie’ on Dan Casey’s Blog.”
On behalf of all those organizations, thank you! (I’m sure Suzie thanks you, too).

“Based on last year’s returns, I’m thinking of charging about $800 an hour for the dyspeptic sensations I have to endure listening to the circular dimwitted uninformed opinions of libs in here”
Pretty sure the going rate is $30.
Will you be giving us a total each morning of how many comments she made the day before?
“NARAL, PP, Ron’s college”
What do the three groups have in common?
A: The leadership of all three is firmly committed to and devoted to laws enabling innocent kids to be destroyed in the womb.
Such nice people these are. Exactly the kind you’d like to hang with.
Blech.
Pencil out – one tally mark. Wow – likely to be a productive month for some great organizations. They thank you Suzie.
“Suzie says:
It’s easier to find a three-legged chicken than a liberal who can spell.”
I’ll donate 1¢ for each post to a study on what causes chickens to grow a third leg and 1¢ per post to a support group for those poor birds.
I’d like to add victims4justice.org to my donations.
http://victims4justice.org/
“The purpose of this website is to expose the reality of abuse that exists within the Catholic Church and to eliminate the burden of silence and fear. By banding together, we can help and support each other in our fight to eradicate sexual abuse of children and vulnerable adults inside and outside of the Catholic Church.”
Come on folks. Let’s have another 25 or 30 contributors here. A few pennies per post will add up if we get enough to participate. It might even encourage Cruella to stop posting in order to keep these organizations from getting the money. Then she and Henry can join together to knock off all those dalmatiam puppies.
I’ll pay if she leaves and that is all I’ll pay for.
I’m considering adding OWS to my donation list. Or maybe just adding it to my 2012 tax payment as an example to the 1% ers who say, “If you want to pay more taxes, pay more more taxes.”
The great thing about this donation-per-post Idea is there are so many things Miss Suzie hates, it’s easy to find something worthy to donate to.
I’m surprised no one has listed CAIR or Hamas as their chosen charity. Of course all counties haven’t been heard from yet. I’ll contribute to the Re-elect Joe Arpaio fund and the dfense fund for the Arizona immigration law, though from the reports coming out of the Supreme Court, that one may not be needed.
http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/25/justice/scotus-arizona-law/index.html
Chuck I’m sure youre frequently surprised.
And Arpaio has his own legal problems. You could just contribute to his defense fund.
Here my pick on donations for Suzie’s comments:
http://www.humankindness.org/
To adjust for her “savvy” witticisms actual current market value, I have adjusted her quoted price by moving the decimal six places to the left. An overestimate perhaps, but one has to account for inflation.
I imagine there’s a Suzie or a Tina or a Kristin on every news site, someone who posts as much vitriol as possible, toeing the line of unacceptable behavior while encouraging others to cross the same line.
My donation to Global Voices is not for her. Dan Casey, it’s for you. Thank you for reminding me how important it is to hear the words from women in other parts of the world who long for what Suzie and the rest of us so often take for granted.
Dan in your text, Suzie apparently said:
“After several mind-numbing exchanges with the blogger known as Sandi Saunders this morning…”
Well said Suzie. I am sure it was mind numbing, albeit not in the way you are implying.
I donated to the Obama campaign today. If you donate before midnight tonight you can get a chance to have dinner with Obama and Clooney. I Really want to have dinner with Obama and Clooney. I figure my chances are better than wining the lottery anyway. To be in the presence of 2 great Americans such as Obama and Clooney would be a fantasic day. Obama, the man who had the courage to give the order to go into Pakistan and kill bin laden, and Clooney, for his indefatigable work to bring light on world crisis such as Darfur.
suzie, you can keep your 2 cents worth. I’m with Sandy, I’ll pay you to leave and never come back.
I’ll eat a dog for every post. It’s the least I can do.
Sure, I’d donate to CAIR again, but you are on your own with Hamas. I don’t think that one is legal. I thought you folks respected the rule of law.
Cold, where is Romney on bin Laden’s death these days? Is he still clinging to his 2008 line that he wouldn’t have chased the Al Qaida leader into Pakistan, or has he done another flipflop, and claimed he would have done the same thing? Or does be now say he supported what Bush DIDN’T do?
It’s so hard to keep track.
And, if you know, is he still claiming we should have let Detroit go bankrupt, or is he now claiming credit for the bailout plan and its success?
0bama’s ludicrous claiming of credit for the capture of Bin Laden enrages every authentic military man and woman in America. They know 0bama gutted funding for the military, particularly for the special forces that captured Bin Laden. He opposed the cause at every turn and did everything in this power to prevent the capture.
Recall Bush never took credit for his many military victories; he always gave credit to others. This 0bama SOB does the opposite. He claims credit for something he had tried to undermine. He’s a very very small man.
Dan, what do you expect from a corporate raider. Romney’s job is to fleece every bit of what’s left of the middle class in America. That’s what Norquist and the Kock brothers have hired him to do. Now, the question is, how many Americans are dumb enough to vote the scumbag in? He just might win, really, the average american thinks they are just as smart as suzie, which means we are going to the wire with this election.
Obama gave an order that Bush refused to give.
And as a result of Obama’s order, the military was able to trap and kill bin Laden. When Bush had a chance to do that same thing, he blinked.
Bush stood on an aircraft carrier under in a flight suit under the banner Mission Accomplished when it was anything but. Following that were thousands of death of U.S. servicemen and women, and tens of thousands of casualties, for a unnecessarily war that was justified only via cowardly lies.
Bush couldn’t kill Bin Laden, it would have meant the end of his Excellent Mid-East Adventures. Problem is, Romney is surrounding himself with the same players who got us into this mess. An aggressive foreign policy is all he has to legitimize his conservative street cred.
I’ll kick in for the Women’s Resource Center of the NRV and the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program, two charitable groups helping people in need that we regularly support.
If Dan will email me his fax number, I’ll be glad to fax him a copy of my checks before mailing them out. I’ll also ask the recipients to send him an email acknowledging receipt.
I’ll toss in two additional groups, the Humane Society of Montgomery County and the Arbor Day Foundation, just in case any kittens or puppies get stomped, and to replenish some trees as well…regardless of whether or not the threats to kill puppies and trees is carried out.
Debbie, don’t try too hard to quench you-know-who’s doubts. I’m holding Cold’s half of their $100 bet on the election, and even though I’ve put it up here on this blog, you-know-who has denied that, too.
She often denies reality.
Roanoke Valley Lacrosse Association
That’s what Norquist and the Kock brothers have hired him to do.
Oh, I thought Norquist and the Koch brothers were behind the Tea Party –which opposed Romney.
You kooks can’t keep your lies straight, can you?
An email acknowledging receipt from the recipients will be enough proof. 2 checks will be going out today.
#19 George Bush would have been out there in his crotch-enhanced flight suit bragging to the world. Except it never happened because he was too timid to go after the guy. Cheney and Cantor praised Obama’s action. Another former Bushie (whose name I don’t remember) just acknowledged that Obama’s call took guts because if it failed his presidency was definitely over, whereas success still guaranteed him nothing in this election. These folks no a lot more about it than racist troll suzie.
As for cutting the military, I thought right wingers wanted the government to cut spending. The military HAS to be part of any cuts because it is such a huge part of the discretionary funds. Period.
Many in the GOP love it when Democratic presidents fail in these high-wire military ops and hates it when they succeed. It’s almost as if their patriotism is colored by politics.
Think Jimmy Carter. He would have defeated Ronald Reagan if he’d been able to free the hostages in the op that went bad. The political risk for Obama was similar. Still, he made the call that GWB would not do. Now the GOP is trying to spin it into failure.
#28 Well, it’s an absolute proven fact that the Koch brothers are behind the Tea Party. But as you’ve already noted about yourself and your vote, do you think the Kochs and Norquist are going to support Obama or sit on the sidelines and see him re-elected now? Why of course not.
Jeez, you can’t even get a logical post up any more.
Bush was understandably modest about his military achievements.
Gorver Norquist: Romney will do as he’s told:
“All we have to do is replace Obama. … We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. … We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don’t need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.
The requirement for president?
Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”

As for the Koch brothers:
http://www.thefastertimes.com/blog/2011/03/02/are-the-koch-brothers-trying-to-put-mitt-romney-in-the-white-house/
Even black sheep brother William is getting on the Romney family station wagon:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/sns-la-pn-koch-donation-romney-super-pac-20120420,0,7250290.story
There. Now the world knows suzie to be the most uneducated blowhard bloviating on the Casey Blog. BUSTED.
The real question is why Grover Norquist can denigrate the office of the President of the United States and infer it is subject to his whims and not be arrested for sedition. In America, the President is commander in chief, not just a pen pusher under the thumb of his/her puppet masters.
SEDITON:
In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order.
I would feel a lot better if Romney would tell Norquist to back off and every GOPPER who signed Grover’s Oath would repudiate their actions.
Grover is this generations Aaron Burr. Look that name up suzie as I’m sure you’ve never heard of him. History being such a worthless pursuit and all.
Sandi, my comment was tongue in cheek though I figured you were a CAIR supporter. At least you acknowledge Hamas as an illegal outfit, but as you so often suggest, you might want to do a little more research into some of CAIR’s ties. Part of your CAIR contribution no doubt ended up supporting Hamas anyway.
#28 most ill-informed: The Koch brothers support by billions any and all nefarious enterprises – Keystone pipeline, Republican Tea Party campaigns – untruthful attack ads – anti climate change pseudo “scientists, etc
They are multibillionaires, multifaceted propagandists…and you as always are so ill-informed…
#19 most ill-informed posted, “Recall Bush never took credit for his many military victories; he always gave credit to others. ”
Recall the two words, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”?
Evidently early onset of dementia…
Next story will be on the Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand connection and his sudden reversal of his previous RECORDED comments as soon as the Catholic Bishops busted his cops for endorsing the philosophy of an avowed atheist.
Stay tuned., This one is juicy.
That was chops not cops. Old fingers strike again.
George Bush would have been out there in his crotch-enhanced flight suit bragging to the world. Except it never happened because he was too timid to go after the guy
Right. Bush employed system which captured Bin Laden; the special forces, which 0bama cut funding for, the enhanced interrogation techniques at Gitmo, which 0bama wanted banned. Bin Laden would have never been captured had 0bama gotten his way. It’s only thanks to President Bush that it happened.
#28 Well, it’s an absolute proven fact that the Koch brothers are behind the Tea Party. But as you’ve already noted about yourself and your vote, do you think the Kochs and Norquist are going to support Obama or sit on the sidelines and see him re-elected now? Why of course not.
Jeez, you can’t even get a logical post up any more.
You said Norquist and the Kochs “hired” Romney. Do you have proof of that? That’s a far cry from voting for the guy.
Roanoke Valley Lacrosse Association
Wow, Michael. Eating your own to gain favor with the establishment. That’s what McCain and Paul do.
I think I’ll stop bending over backwards to couch stuff for you. It’s obviously not helping.
“Right. Bush employed system which captured Bin Laden; the special forces, which 0bama cut funding for, the enhanced interrogation techniques at Gitmo, which 0bama wanted banned. Bin Laden would have never been captured had 0bama gotten his way. It’s only thanks to President Bush that it happened.”
The parts of this that are intelligible are lies.
The birthbagger that can construct a coherent sentence is rarer than a 3 legged chicken. On the other hand, mayhap SuzieQ was channeling our lost pammala.
Paul Simon I believe spoke of Swoozie..
“Dont want to wind up a cartoon..
in a cartoon graveyard..”
the ever puking roly poly
I say vote Suzie..
for the Department of Kooks
and Lies
You say Obama has facial features that look like a monkey. I happen to think you are a racist.
I say it looks to me like the Koch brothers and Grover Norquist are hiring Romney to do their bidding. Not the American peoples work but THEIR work. The systematic dismantling of the american dream.
“Grover Norquist: Romney will do as he’s told”
Now that’s down right cheeky if you ask me. Definitely addressing the GOP candidate as a hireling. You don’t speak like that unless you have the power. Or you’re a moron, or both.
C’m0n. We all kn0w that the m0st fitting d0nati0ns w0uld g0 t0 the ACLU, which w0uld defend even Suzie’s right to p0st with her silly little zer0s all 0ver this b0ard. B0nus: it might just push her 0ver the edge . . . and 0ff the c0mment b0ard! W00 h00!
“Hillary says:
Evidently early onset of dementia…”
No, Hillary, not so early……
#41 The Koches ain’t gonna just vote for the guy — they’ll buy him. Even you know that.
#19 most ill-informed posted, “Recall Bush never took credit for his many military victories; he always gave credit to others. ”
Recall the two words, “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”?
The ‘Mission Accomplished” banner was put up by the Navy without any advance knowledge from Bush. It was done to recognize that the mission to capture Saddam had indeed been accomplished. It was obviously never intended to say or imply the war was over. That was revisionism by the left.
Grover Norquist: Romney will do as he’s told”
If he indeed said that, it doesn’t mean someone who speaks colorfully has “bought” Romney, whatever that means Jeez, don’t be so dumb.
Jon Stewart on the Republican’s fake outrage over the Bin Laden commercial: “ballzheimers.”
Yawn. You’re a one trick pony suzie. You’re boring the crap out of me. Your arguments are getting so weak, it must really eat you up to have to support “Flipper Romney.”
Perfect timing. I mention screen berets and Poodle chiimes in. Look for Steve C to enter stage left any moment now.
Stooz….lets go back a little closer to the
timeframe in question…I think you need to
get onboard with the Mccain folks..you could
practice some assbackward logic there.
Theyd love you and maybe give you full voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X6Jc5z96Zc
and fyi,,,the White house provided the Mission Accomplished banner.
Its in storage about 30 minutes from me.
And they are wringing their hands over whether to put it on display
in the Bush library.
#51,
“The ‘Mission Accomplished” banner was put up by the Navy without any advance knowledge from Bush. It was done to recognize that the mission to capture Saddam had indeed been accomplished. It was obviously never intended to say or imply the war was over. That was revisionism by the left.”
Comment by Suzie — May 1, 2012 @ 10:52 pm
Um, you may want to double check your revisionist history, cup cake.
The banner appeared on the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 1, 2003. Saddam Hussein was captured December 13, 2003.
Oh, okay, wait a sec; I get it now. The point of your post was just to demonstrate what a clue hound you are, right?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
The banner was the Navy’s idea. Want to challenge me on that? Do it and lose.
Dan at #21–”21.Obama gave an order that Bush refused to give.” Your link, unless I am mistaken, offers on reporting that the decision ever got to Bush ..The Times says that Rummy stopped the mission.
The above should say, “Your link, unless I am mistaken, offers no reporting that the decision ever got to Bush.”
The banner was to celebrate the successful invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam, not his capture.
#59 most ill-informed posted, “The banner was the Navy’s idea.”
And poor George had no power as the President of the Free World to just say “no”. Those navy bullies made him do it! Another “unaccountable” moment from the weasels in the Bush Administration…nothing was their fault…not the lies that got us into Iraq, not the torture that didn’t work, not the lie of “Mission Accomplished” in 2003. You poor deluded thing…
” The “Mission Accomplished” banner was prominently displayed above him — a move the White House came to regret as the display was mocked and became a source of controversy.
After SHIFTING explanations, the White House EVENTUALLY said the “Mission Accomplished” phrase referred to the carrier’s crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the “Mission Accomplished” message. He said the White House had nothing to do with the banner; a spokesman later said the ship’s crew asked for the sign and THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF HAD IT MADE BY A PRIVATE VENDOR. [my caps]

Phil,
Donald Rumsfeld was the Secretary of Defense under President George W. Bush. As such, Rumsfeld didn’t have the final say in this, his boss did.
Robert Gates opposed the raid on bin Laden. His boss, President Obama, overruled him and made the decision to do it.
And now, some miscreants on this blog and elsewhere are giving the credit to Bush. That’s about as dumb as blaming Watergate on LBJ.
#62 Sorry, racist troll suzie, here’s exactly what you said in #51:
“It was done to recognize that the mission to capture Saddam had indeed been accomplished.”
God, don’t you ever get tired of being wrong?
That’s why the clarification in #62, dimwit. LOLOL.
“Suzie says:

Well? Which is it, Screwzie? Are you admitting you were WRONG?
The banner was a freaking photo-op for the real Idiot Boy, Bush. Nothing more.
Let’s see. Gdad posts. I shut him down. Then Contradad posts about the same thing. I think if I were going to have marionette tag team, I’d try to make it less obvious.
Dan @64…I know that is the way it is SUPPOSED to work, but the Times says unequivocally that Rummy stopped it. Is Bush even mentioned?
