Occupy Wall Street protest

...you seem in need of a good laugh these days.

Oh, did I forget to type LMAO? I wonder why?

Shit this thread needs more Faldur and less OMK.

No...but what was the point....that people say outrageous shit on the radio? Shocking revelation Trish...thanks for that. Try listening to Mike Malloy when he advocates that Seal Team 6 visit the Bush's....then get back to me about outrageous shock jocks....OK?...But then again maybe it was I who failed to see the humor.

Who the fuck asked you? When I need some commentary from punks like you.....I have multiple options now. So tell us....between the play station3 and the online free porn, and multiple tranny forums and chat rooms you frequented today, tell us what else you squeezed into your day. What a pathetic bastard you are.

LOL...."the man".....?? Haven't heard that since Pam Grier starred in those Shaft movies...

C'mon man!

Pam Grier wasn't in no Shaft movie!

She wasn't in Shaft, Shaft's Big Score nor Shaft in Africa.

And no she wasn't in the TV series either.

Love me some Pam Grier.

Some...

people say outrageous shit on the radio...

A lot of people don't. But in a mad rush to fling feces at the president Mad Rush picked up the story of Obama's campaign against the Lord's Resistance Army of Murderers, Cutthroats, Rapists, Kidnappers and Child Molesters and ran with it before doing absolutely any research. No wait, he asked Dawn,Brian and Snerdly whether they ever heard of the Lord's Resistance Army and amazingly these radio newsroom hacks were as completely in the dark as Mad Rush himself! This story is no big surprise. It's completely characteristic of the right's current modus operandi: blindly obstruct every move Obama makes, ask questions later. I did in fact laugh my ass off at the sheer stupidity of Mad Rush's ignorance, his lack of journalistic integrity and at the idiotic way he showed his hand (once again). But it also pained me to be reminded that there are people with voluminous megaphones that are so ignorant, so biased and so irresponsible.

More Pam Grier, less OMK.

I have known about the Lord's Resistance Army since the 1980s when its leader was a nutcase called Alice Lakwena, because I knew someone at the time who was writing about them -but there is probably more awareness here of African issues via the commonwealth/empire, and Imperial History continues to be a popular option with students, although I thought African Americans had an interest in Africa too.

As Trish suggests, Rush Limbaugh jumped on the LRA merely to attack Obama -and in doing so has demonstrated a quite lamentable ignorance that strikes me as desperation. I don't think it is on a par with other reckless politics that onmyknees has indicated is 'just as bad', either way its a risky strategy.

The chaotic politics in Somalia is gradually seeping into Kenya, and by extension Uganda; most recently with the kidnappings around Lamu near the Somali border. The disabled French hostage, Marie Dedout, has now died; an English woman remains unaccounted for, as are two Spanish aid workers who were working with Medecins sans Frontieres in a huge Sonali refugee camp.
But the al-Shabab militia claimed responsility for two bombings in Kampala last year that killed 74 people. Evidently, there is some anxiety at the potential for east Africa to enter a phase of de-stabilisation, not least because we are entering the 'Pirate season' in the Indian Ocean.

Lumbaugh can criticise Obama's deployment of US Advisers to Africa, that's politics, but to defend the LRA is a violation of basic human decency -one hopes he will have the decency to apologise to the victims. Perhaps a trip to the region to meet them would awaken the conscience of this deeply committed Christian.

True true but it's a shame that he can get away with this shit.
