The weather’s a 10 on the Saturday OPEN thread
Shot by Dan
I’ll be heading up to Charlottesville on this perfect-weather afternoon to catch the Terps play the Cavaliers in Scott Stadium. That’s Maryland football two Saturdays in the row . . . oh boy!
Let’s see if the Terps can maintain their better-than-Virginia Tech record.
Watch out, Doug Doughty. We’ll be sitting near you.

This is a perfect football day. Jealous!
It’s critical to note the most important story the MSM is ignoring.
It’s the mess Joe the Idiot has created for the 0bama administration with the big lie that neither he nor 0bama knew the embassy attacks in Libya were terrorist operations.
Biden’s lie (curiously unnoticed by the MSM debate rehash) has caused multiple problems. First, the State Department officials have testified under oath the administration was warned of the exact location and day of attacks. The problem is 0bama, Thighlary, and Jay Carney ALL said the attacks were in response to a video. Then after catching heat for that ridiculous lie, they all admitted it was a terrorist attack. Now thanks to Idiot Joe’s lie, Thighlary is backtracking again “Well, we don’t really know the full story”.
It was a major gaffe by Biden. The MSM ignored it. Look for Mitt to do the liberal media’s job for them. He will POUND President Moron on this issue. Pretty soon the libs are going to demand the end to debates because it’s the one area people can get shots on their candidates, though they try to neutralize that with biased mods.
Safe journey. Enjoy the game.
Pay no attention to what I say, lying is my way!!!

Suzie…
I hardly think you would be the pillar of virtue and honesty.
Its rather telling that after the beating you took about your redneck
friend perjuring himself in court and you fully supporting him..
that you would lash out about lies from anyone.(read that Freudian projection)
You-d be well served to slither into the background for a while..maybe go back and load up your plate again at the Corral…
But then again..you know the Corral may be lying about whats in that Mac and Cheese…call the MSM about that…why the hell are they missing such a weighty subject.
Just in case you actually believe that the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan tax plan works read the article linked below. You’ll get a better understanding why Joe Biden was laughing out loud and smirking.

Hey Suzie,
I guess the libs must not care about the so-called “moderate” votes, or independent votes, since, well, THOSE folks are seeing what’s not playing in libland. All they appear to care about is their, ah, base. I figure that’s pretty stupid, ’cause they already HAVE their base. Oh, I see, they wanna make sure that their base gets off their big behinds and goes to the polls, I guess. Still, I’d think they’d be at least a little bit interested in the votes from the “middle”, ya know?
Oh…, I know… The libs think that the “middle” is as deaf, dumb, and blind as they are. THAT must be it. Otherwise, their strategery just doesn’t appear to hold water.
I’m interested in how billary plays this Libya thing out.
Congrats to the Hokies & the Terrapins on their football victories today!!
The Terps won AGAIN! Go Maryland!
from Ron’s link:
“It’s no secret — and no surprise — that the strict voter ID laws in vogue in Republican circles target poorer voters, especially those who are black and brown. Black and Latino Americans tend to vote for Democratic candidates.
No matter how much the right yells “voter fraud,” its spokesmen cannot conceal an ugly and old-fashioned strategy: Suppress the vote. Keep poor people of color from casting a ballot. Deny to certain citizens a fundamental democratic right. There is virtually no in-person voter fraud at the polls, and that’s the sort of chicanery that voter identification laws ostensibly prevent.
Instead, voter ID laws are intended to help Republicans win elections. Because the GOP brain trust is excellent at executing a long-term strategy, its demographers saw the party’s weakness years ago and began to plan for it. As the nation’s ethnic minorities, especially Latinos, grow in number, the Republican Party would have to become more inclusive or face extinction.”
Voter ID is FREE! It is FREE for people of all colors.
Anybody who cashes a check needs a photo ID, and that includes almost 100% of the adult population. So let’s be honest: the only reason for opposing voter ID is the desire to cheat.
Suzie is such a sad, sad person. Thigherly? Really? Who even knows what that means? I assume she’s referring to our Secretary of State, but, again, how sad. If the only way you can make your point is by ridiculing others, how sad. Someone who really believed what they were talking about wouldn’t resort to such nonsense. They wouldn’t attack the mother of someone who disagreed with her. They wouldn’t go to such great lengths to make fun of national figures who have differing points of view. The arguments in favor of her position would be enough.
But they are not. Because Suzie is on the wrong side of history on, well, damn near everything. So she reaches for straws. Stupid names: 0bama. Ooooh. Thigherly (WTF?) She pretends that the last four years haven’t seen a significant turn-around from the crashing disaster that Bush left the nation because, well, she has no choice. To do otherwise would destroy her fragile, hateful psyche. She pretends that the international respect of the United States hasn’t increased since Obama came into office, killed bin Laden, decimated al-Qaida wherever it tried to set up shop, and quit trying to give Angela Merkel back rubs (none of which Bush managed to do in his entire eight years).
I guess if I was forced to defend the ridiculousness of the Republican Party, I might have to go to such ridiculous lengths. Luckily, I’ve never felt that urge.
Sad, sad Suzie. I guess you’ll only get more bitter and unhinged come Nov. 7.
The question Republicans should ask the voters about the veep candidates is: “Which would be the scariest choice should he become president? The candidate who alternately laughed and ranted like a crazy man? Or the smooth even-keeled confident candidate?
If you put it that way, it’s no contest.
“‘When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, the foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.’ – Proverbs 29:9.”
Dan R,
She is still steaming that you (apparently) kicked her off the RT blog oh so many years ago. She mentions that occasionally right here.
In other words, you made quite an impression on her.
The prospect of Paul Ryan as president is indeed scary — and just in time for the Halloween season.
Dan:
23.”The prospect of Paul Ryan as president is indeed scary …”
But you’re comfortable with Obama and want more of him. If you had your unlimited choice, Dan, who would you want for president?
DanR@10:46
I’m glad that you have joined in on this blog. It’s nice to have another voice of sanity and reason to counteract the Suzies, matts, Lweons, Franks, pistol petes and terps, types who have no facts to back themselves up–only misguided stuff they hear from Fox and Rush and an abiding hatred for Barack Obama. You are right, they are sad and pitiful.
Rad,
You’re the one who wouldn’t allow honest discussion on your pathetic blog. That’s why at the end of your run, you were lucky to get a dozen responses a day, seven of them from Sandi Saunders. Imagine being so thin-skinned and partisan as to airbrush dissenting opinions. No wonder your blog was a frigging graveyard.
As for my ridiculing leftwingers, yep I do. I do it in addition to dissecting their bankrupt views. Seems like did a lot of personal ridicule against President Bush yourself. So cry me a river.
And as for your mom, you’re the one who first introduced her in your blog as a model of Catholic citizenship as a supposed counterpoint to me. So know what, Rad? She’s fair game. If you don’t want her discussed, don’t bring her the hell up. Got it?
“Rad,
You’re the one who wouldn’t allow honest discussion on your pathetic blog.”
Suzie, you don’t engage in honest discussion. If you did, Dan R. would have posted your comments. On the occasions when you cite facts, you cherry-pick them to suit your warped idea of “the truth.”
I don’t have the time to truth-squad the comments here, nor the inclination.
I think Dan Radmacher is in shock someone would dare be allowed to call him out on his crap. Probably like 0bama felt when Mitt ripped him a new one. You just don’t do that to the king.
Say Rad, why don’t you bring along your shoulder parrot Chris Trejbal along. See how he does on an even playing field without his airbrush button.
hey davie,
Hi there! What do you think of al-qaeda’s new leader siding with obama regarding the perpetrators of the Libya terrorist attack? Ya think he’s been called up to give obama some more cover on that? You know, it seems weird to have those two folks taking the same position on the “movie caused the attack in Benghazi” thingy. Ya know? What do you think about that?
I’m serious. Why are obama and the al-qaeda leader on one side, and billary (hey danr, referring to hillary as billary is intentional, because I think she does what he says) on the other side of who new what when?
Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi calls the VP debate correctly:
“I’ve never thought much of Joe Biden. But man, did he get it right in last night’s debate, and not just because he walloped sniveling little Paul Ryan on the facts. What he got absolutely right, despite what you might read this morning (many outlets are criticizing Biden’s dramatic excesses), was his tone. Biden did absolutely roll his eyes, snort, laugh derisively and throw his hands up in the air whenever Ryan trotted out his little beady-eyed BS-isms.
But he should have! He was absolutely right to be doing it. We all should be doing it. That includes all of us in the media, and not just paid obnoxious-opinion-merchants like me, but so-called “objective” news reporters as well. We should all be rolling our eyes, and scoffing and saying, “Come back when you’re serious.”
The load of balls that both Romney and Ryan have been pushing out there for this whole election season is simply not intellectually serious. Most of their platform isn’t even a real platform, it’s a fourth-rate parlor trick designed to paper over the real agenda – cutting taxes even more for super-rich dickheads like Mitt Romney, and getting everyone else to pay the bill.”
From Jim Hightower; three myths the right-wing is using to frame the election.
Ooooo…Screwzie brought out her big ‘got it?’ gun! Watch out, Dan R.! Next, she’ll be challenging you to an early morning race at the CSHS track!
From McClatchy; The Kochs’ Quest to Save America.
From Daily Beast; Yes, it was a big f%#*ing deal.
#26 suzie didn’t like the RTEB blog because she wasn’t allowed to personally attack people and she was required to maintain some basic level of honesty. Period. We all know it. She’s still pouting and whining over that.
Anybody who cashes a check needs a photo ID, and that includes almost 100% of the adult population. So let’s be honest: the only reason for opposing voter ID is the desire to cheat.
Comment by Suzie — October 13, 2012 @ 10:43 pm
SuzieQ,
I haven’t been asked for ID to cash a check in years. That’s because I take such checks to my local bank. When I walk in there I am typically greeted with “Hello Dr. May. It’s good to see you.” Now I have state issued ID, but I can’t remember the last time I was asked to show it somewhere other than the liquor store.
“I’m serious. Why are obama and the al-qaeda leader on one side”
because the bastard probably helped plan it
Now I have state issued ID, but I can’t remember the last time I was asked to show it somewhere other than the liquor store.
OK, so you admit you need and use a photo ID. This is like nearly 100% of the adult population in America. Therefore as I said, there is no reason to object to using one for voting unless you want to cheat.
Thanks for making my point, Liberal Ron.
GO AND SEE THE MOVIE `2016` ….it is a must if you wish to know the real Obama…..$$$ well spent !!!!
#30 ????????? Who the hell is Matt Tiabbi ?? And #2, who gives a damn what the Rolling Stone publishes ? Little Matt probably pens his garbage from his Mommies basement.

Jeff,
Matt Tiabi has almost certainly spent one or more stints in alcohol/drug rehab. Those are the writers/artists Dan seems to admire most.
suzie didn’t like the RTEB blog because she wasn’t allowed to personally attack people
Only the libs and Rad were allowed to personally attack in the RT blog. Liberals were allowed to do as they pleased. That’s why the place was reduced to a few brainless libs like you and Sandi talking to each other. Had all the intellectual stimulation of watching a shirt dry on the clothesline.
“Matt Tiabi has almost certainly spent one or more stints in alcohol/drug rehab. Those are the writers/artists Dan seems to admire most.”
Said Screwzie, whose heroes include Rush Limpballs, painkiller addict and that slutty Ann Coulter. (Unless Screwzie thinks Coulter is a 50 y/o virgin….)
“#30 ????????? Who the hell is Matt Tiabbi ??”
Well, jethro the dodo, if I dumb it down to the lowest common denominator so that even you can understand the answer, Tiabbi is a guy who, like you, posts a lot political partisan BS on the internets, but he manages to string two or more coherent thoughts together in a fashion that actually allows the finished product to make sense to people who use the English language as their primary means of communication.
jethro was out late last night at karaoke dressed like the cowboy from the Village People and consequently didn’t get much sleep. He’ll go down for a nappy about noon or so and hopefully won’t be so pissy when he logs back on this afternoon.
Ron May:
“I haven’t been asked for ID to cash a check in years. That’s because I take such checks to my local bank. When I walk in there I am typically greeted with “Hello Dr. May. It’s good to see you.” Now I have state issued ID, but I can’t remember the last time I was asked to show it somewhere other than the liquor store.”
Ron May, you must admit there are some important differences here. You probably go to that same bank at least weekly, whereas most people that will walk into those polling places do so once a year if not once every four. If someone voted weekly, I’d say it would be different. Also, taking a check without ID is a risk the recipient can weigh and choose to accept, but for voting, it should be consistent. Everyone should have to have ID and it is provided for free. I don’t care what color someone is, there’s no reason that producing at least that free card is discriminatory.
By the way, if you should retire to the NRV in 2014 and live on Claytor Lake instead of Smith Mountain Lake, the closing attorney/settlement agent will ask for ID.
#44 Glad to see you come to aid of a fellow immaturian…Its obvious that you and little Matt are of the same intelligence level…Now, you two play nice and don`t forget to show him your obama decoder ring. Run,Run little Stevie, the Simpsons are on !!!!!!
The Republican meme is that the ID cards are free. In fact, in the areas where they are tryingto suppress the vote, they are not free and the draconian hoops they are requiring people to jump through to get one are outrageous and demeaning. The voter ID bill in Va., got watered down but you can bet your sweet bippy that the Republicans will be back again next year trying t make it harder. And in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida in particular, their new laws are quite extreme.
Actually John Wilburn when I vote the poll workers also greet me either by my first name or as Dr. May as well. It is a result of the job I have and local notoriety that goes with it.
“The Republican meme is that the ID cards are free.”
Try telling that to Virginia taxpayers. Those registration cards the state recently mailed out cost $2.6 million.

Some states have offered to pay for the IDs. Oddly, that still doesn’t satisfy the leftwingers.
Thigherly? Really? Who even knows what that means? I assume she’s referring to our Secretary of State, but, again, how sad. If the only way you can make your point is by ridiculing others, how sad.
If you don’t know what it means, how do you know I’m ridiculing her?

47.”The Republican meme is that the ID cards are free. In fact, in the areas where they are tryingto suppress the vote, they are not free and the draconian hoops they are requiring people to jump through to get one are outrageous and demeaning.”
And if that is true, that is wrong. I would oppose that. It needs to be consistent. Mine came in the mail unsolicited.
Ron May:
48.”Actually John Wilburn when I vote the poll workers also greet me either by my first name or as Dr. May as well. It is a result of the job I have and local notoriety that goes with it.”
That’s fine, but not everybody is as famous as Dr. Ron May. They do still ask you for ID, don’t they?
Dan:
“Try telling that to Virginia taxpayers. Those registration cards the state recently mailed out cost $2.6 million.”
You’re very selective in what you care about the state wasting money on, Dan. The way to fix that is have an easy way for people to request one that is fair and free to them. And folks like you and I with multiple forms of ID still pay for those free cards. Doing away with ID is not the answer. If voting itself were anonymous and there weren’t rolls that you get checked off of, I would be right there with you on getting rid of the ID requirement, but no privacy is lost in requiring an ID that matches the rolls with your info that they already have.
Suzie was banned from The RT because of her constant personal attacks. Dan has more tolerance for that than The RT blog. He and I have discussed the merits of the two approaches, and I’m not sure which is best, to be honest.
But I do know The RT immediately became a better place after Suzie was banned.
(And despite her whining, we policed against personal attacks from anyone. Several of the liberals commenting on here will attest that they had comments rejected. But, unlike Suzie, they were able to modify their behavior to conform with the rules. Suzie was unable to stop the personal attacks – I guess because that’s all she has.)
Re: Comment by Dan Casey — October 14, 2012 @ 12:37 pm
Yup!
Funny how “free” vs. “cost” is a where-you-sit-determines-where-you-stand (WYSDWYS) reception on various issues.
Rather like “no help from goverment” in a business vs. a human-being.
Does anyone else see the ironic humor/incongruity in Suzie’s repeated use of the term “airbrush” in light of her avatar?
“You’re very selective in what you care about the state wasting money on, Dan. The way to fix that is have an easy way for people to request one that is fair and free to them.

–Comment by John Wilburn.
Sigh. OK, whatever. I take it back. They are free, and they cost nobody nothing, not even taxpayers. Do you feel better now, John?
I left the RT to get away from Suzie, upon which they unhelpfully banned her and she showed up over here. Thanks, Dan R.
Suzie was banned from The RT because of her constant personal attacks… But I do know The RT immediately became a better place after Suzie was banned.
As in here, I was attacked in the RT blog more than I returned it, probably 10 to 1. The problem for Rad is he doesn’t think conservatives should be allowed to respond. He thought the RT blog should be his little fiefdom for him and liberal butt-kissers. So he chased out most of the conservatives and the place became a cemetery.
Dan Casey may be a leftwing nut like Dan Rad is, but at least he is smart enough to know that allowing disagreement encourages discussion which encourages traffic. Casey doesn’t really have much of an ego and isn’t self-important. Rad is just the opposite. Rad thought his blog was some preeminent bastion of intelligence and intellectual thought, when it was a just bunch of partisan hacks. Exactly the way self-important elitists think.
The RT blog should</em have been the top political blog around. It put up seven or eight great topics a day, had three people taking comments. Everything was lined up perfectly. But it failed because Rad and Trejbal were afraid of open discussion. They wouldn't leave people alone. My mailbox would be full of comments: "Your post was deleted because…(fill in a stupid reason)." I haven't gotten an email from Dan C in two years, and it was about a photograph he used that I liked.
Now Flip over to the Casey blog. It wasn't really political. There was just as likely to be a thread on grandma's apple pie as on local politics. Back in 2009, he didn't even update the comments but every couple of days.
But then a funny thing happened. Dan C and his one-horse operation became THE political blog, and it was for one reason. He welcomed dissent. He didn't mind divergent off-topic discussion. He didn't act like a schoolmarm. He let people do whatever the hell they wanted. The result? The place didn't burn down. Nobody died. What happened was people started flooding the place, and by 2010, THIS became not just the top blog, but the top political blog. I remember at one point, Rad asked Dan Casey to please stop posting political threads that clashed with HIS political threads. How pathetic is that?
So there it is for you, Rad. And the lesson to be learned is very analogous to society as a whole: If you want your blog (society) to thrive, let the people be free and do what it is they do best. It might be messy sometimes, but if you remove the shackles (regulations), the place will prosper faster and better than you can imagine.
Dan C. Please remove the previous thread and print this one if you don’t mind. I had one of those htmi mistakes. Thanks.

“I remember at one point, Rad asked Dan Casey to please stop posting political threads that clashed with HIS political threads. How pathetic is that?”
I don’t recall that.
What I do recall is that soon after I began snatching up a daily Letter to the Editor and turning it into a conversation-starting blog post, Dan R. asked me to stop doing that. So I started using emails to me from readers instead.
I still do purloin a Letter to the Editor or two occasionally, usually if they’re about me.
Suzie: “I remember at one point, Rad asked Dan Casey to please stop posting political threads that clashed with HIS political threads. How pathetic is that?”
I have no recollection of that. Do you, Dan? The only time I asked you not to post something was when you started featuring a letter to the editor every day, which I thought was something we should do on The RT instead.
What’s pathetic is that Suzie would even lie about something as trivial as that.
I left the RT to get away from Suzie, upon which they unhelpfully banned her and she showed up over here. Thanks, Dan R
So what’s keeping you from going back, princess?

hey dano,
your whole professional purpose is to do the exact same thing YOU condemn Suzie of doing. You are nothing more than an opinion journalist who uses cherry-picked facts to support his, uh, opinions. you, by definition and practice, refuse to recognize that there are more sides to a story than your own.
1. Why are you afraid to comment on your blog regarding vpjoe’s history plagiarism, and why libs like you don’t care about it.
2. Why are you afraid to comment on Obama’s flight from fact concerning the deadly terrorist attack in Libya?
If you are as good as you think you are, surely you can devote a effective number of inches per topic…keeping them both combined within your 30 inch max, if you can… in order to set the OTHER libs minds at ease that all is well with what those two have done, and are doing, or are not doing.
Hey dano, why are you and the other libs on your blog avoiding those 2 issues? Maybe you could tap something out ‘splaining ya’all’s deafening quiet on those 2 topics. Eh?

Delhi row over bus lane reveals class divide in society
By Rajesh Joshi BBC Hindi, Delhi
A government initiative to reduce traffic chaos in the Indian capital, Delhi, by creating a special fast lane for bus users has run into a major controversy.
The city’s first experimental Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor system allows bus users a smooth ride through traffic congestion, but it is facing legal challenge from a group which represents car users.
The petition has also exposed the class divide in the Indian society.
SNIP
“Car owners are the creators of wealth. Do you realise that they get exhausted sitting in their cars due to traffic jams and they reach office completely tired? It affects their efficiency. Do you want them to perform less?” asks the main petitioner BB Sharan.
SNIP
But Geetam Tiwari, a road safety expert and professor at Delhi’s Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), disagrees. She says the definition of “people” should include those who walk to work or use bicycles and buses.
SNIP

Can one talk about the class divide in the Indian society and deny it in ours?
The weather’s a 10 on the Saturday OPEN thread.
Oh. I thought he meant I was the 10.
#42 “That’s why the place was reduced to a few brainless libs like you and Sandi talking to each other.”
What is it with you the need to lie, suzie? I almost never comment on the RTEB blog — maybe a few times a week if that — and the majority of comments these days come from conservative parrots like John R.
#58 “I haven’t gotten an email from Dan C in two years.”"
Funny how suzie fails to mention that she regularly has had posts deleted here. We know because she’s told us so and even threatened to leave and then backed out of that promise. And she magically quit using a racial stereotype a while back. We know Dan has a role in that.
I think suize’s lying about not getting an email from Dan in two years.
I don’t think she’s lying about not getting emails from Dan, Gdad. Dan has stated on here before, that she’s not worth his time.
The last time I sent Suzie an email was Jan. 26. I haven’t sent her any since then. Debbie’s right that it’s not worth my time.
Funny how suzie fails to mention that she regularly has had posts deleted here. We know because she’s told us so and even threatened to leave and then backed out of that promise. And she magically quit using a racial stereotype a while back. We know Dan has a role in that.
I haven’t had many posts deleted in recent months. I can only think of one lately, and I understand why it was deleted. As long as we’re reasonable, I’ll stay.
Debbie’s right that it’s not worth my time.
Dan is bending over backward to placate his buddy Rad. Odd he feels the need to do that.

Dan Radmacher is the one telling the truth and as per usual, Suzie is the one who is not. It is apparently not in her.
This blog is not a success because it allows dissent. All of the blogs allow dissent. Dan gets the hits the same way the Christians being fed to the lions got crowds and lynchings drew picnics. Slaughter and hate sells. People come here to see the right wing be laid low and called out. It has nothing to do with dissent. She just does not have the decency to admit it.
Anyone with half a mind can tell that most of the vapid right wingers just come here to whine, lie and attack others. Substantive debate and civil discussion is not something they are capable of and it shows. Pretending otherwise is not honest or even sane. Most days it is so offensive even I cannot abide it.
As long as we’re reasonable, I’ll stay.

Remember SuzieQ that applies to you as well.

ROTFL!
I don’t know about others on here, but I have a few select individuals, that, when I see their posts, I just keep on scrolling. That’s the beauty of the printed word, you can skip over it.
It would also be prudent not respond to their posts.
#89 And then there was the time a few months again when you plainly stated that if Dan deleted another comment without reason you were gone for good. So Dan deleted a comment without reason or at least for what you considered no reason. Unfortunately, you didn’t keep your word.
#68 “The last time I sent Suzie an email was Jan. 26.”
As I said, susie was lying about not getting an email from you in two years. That’s not even 9 months.
#77 Excuse me, suzie was just “mistaken,” sort of like her “typos.”
Ahh, Debbie. I see what you mean now.
