A Clever PUMA? HuffingtonPost Promoting a Hate Site Fanatic
You would think that an administration that passed as its first Act, the Ledbetter Bill, appointed more women to a first pick Cabinet than any other President, would hardly be attacked because the President did not play basketball with them. Unless you read the Onion. This attack is not on the Onion, it is on The Huffington Post, in a thinly disguised article selling hate.
We all remember the stupidity and racism of the PUMA “movement”. Hate, racism and what they considered “revenge” was their agenda. Thankfully, most of them were so idiotic that they could not run a whelk stall.
I remember the scene in Starship Troopers quite well, when a talking head dismisses the idea of a brain bug out of hand. Amy Siskind is a brain PUMA.
Not all PUMAs are as idiotic as Darra$h Murphy. Her extreme racist agenda is out there for all to see. Siskind is different. The most dangerous form of racist is a racist with a brain. They sell their hate and bigotry by manipulation.
Amy Siskind is no laughing matter. She has an old agenda to sell, hate, wrapped up in one shiny happy package.
The Real New Agenda
To Siskind, crimes against women are only committed by members or supporters of the Democratic Party or by ethnic minorities and for her agenda, preferably both. Not once has she mentioned the assassination of Dr Tiller, a crime against all women, Letterman was more important. She has never once mentioned the wife beating dished out by Republican Dave Weller?
The assault by Chris Brown on Rihanna, according to Siskind, should have required a Presidential explanation.
Do women count so little to Siskind that she trades the real issues that impact them for her revenge against what she considers to be Obama campaign sexism against Hillary and Sarah?
When it comes to the achievements of President Obama on womens issues, Siskind is either silent, spreading mistruths or being deliberately manipulative.
The first Cabinet pick by President Obama has more women in it than any other President, he picked Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and Judge Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. She claims women are not supported by this President, because they do not play basketball with him. This was the whole basis of her article on Huffington Post. As a poster there said, it should have been on the Onion.
On the appointment of Valerie Jarrett, Siskind claim she defended her appointment, but she opens using every smear the right put out about her, using a common “some say” method of smearing.
On Ledbetter, it took the New Agenda the best part of six months to say nothing worth saying anyway.
Issues of race are completely irrelevant to The New Agenda. Never mind that minority women are impacted more by racism than men. No, women of colour should just go elsewhere. The New Agenda will not tackle racism.
She declares:
In reading our blog, we seem to hitting against a new issue – the issue of racism. I would make the same request of our viewers. There are many wonderful national organization devoted to speaking out against racism. For those of you that find your life impacted by the color of your skin, you will probably prefer to join organizations which are devoted to that important issue.
As a result of her association with race hate, when she tried to claim credit for the internal election results of a NOW, Diana Castaneda , of the NOW Combatting Racism Task Force, made it clear – The New Agenda can get lost.

You cannot claim A COUP, when all the work to give NOW new life came directly from NOW Feminist like me, that have never heard of the NEW Agenda. The fact that a very few of you attended does not make a coup! I am a National Board member from Texas. The first I have ever heard of you was from a NOW President,.We are not new agenda/Palin supporters. We support candidates and women that adhere to choice . We also do not condone Letterman or any one that promotes misogyny and abuse of women either in Word or Deed. I for one supported Terry O’Neill because she is the most qualified to take on the Fiscal challenges that NOW is facing. In this country there is room for all concepts of inclusion including the NEW AGENDA, but NOW is NOT RIPE for the picking! YOU, will have to do your own joint collaborations with other Legitimate groups to build a network just as NOW has in over 40 years. No coup was masterminded by the New Agenda, it was the membership that wanted a new direction. NOW is happy to have people that support our AGENDA, and inclusion of All women , and Women of Color. Diana Castaneda, South Central Region, Texas/Combating Racism Task Force Member
Race hate is not welcomed by NOW. NOW fights against it. The New Palin Agenda, considers issues of racism irrelevant. That says a lot about The Real Agenda offered by Siskind.
She has called NoQuarter, good friends of the New Agenda and has them on her blog roll.

Yes, he has a problem with women. He’s gay! Look at the drag queen he married.
Comment by Mairi | 2009-10-16 23:27:33
Think about it….Meesh is as “manly” as they come! There isn’t a “feminine” bone in her body IMHO. It’s really sad. We have had some tremendously WONDERFUL First Ladies, but I don’t think this one will EVER make that list….not even last. When we DO have a female Prez, she MAY make the list of “First Dudes”, but my guess would be that she would be last on THAT list! Just sayin’…….guess I am no longer “classy” either when it comes to evaluating this sidekick.

Culturally, Obama can’t have a woman around when his wife is not around. If the woman was a friend of Michelle’s she could be around but only if Michelle was present. Ask any woman in a Black community. Standard behavior.
Just some of the classy comments there. Does anyone call them out? Not a chance.
Is this the first time NoQuarter displays such hatred and sexism against women? Nope, of course not.
It is worth remembering even Harriet Christian called Siskind out. Christian was not the right type of woman wanted by the New Palin Agenda.
Huffington Post should not be pretending that Amy Siskind is a Democratic woman upset with the progress on issues that matter to Women. She is not. She is a Republican tool, being used to sell the Republican Party to women. That is The New Agenda. She needs to be called out for it continuously.
This is your chance to object email HuffPo.

How Angry Are You?
Come on you bunch of sick racist redneck bitter knitters. Come on how much do you really want that cigarette? Go on. Have one. Murphy they are tradeable commodities in prison. Rather than suck on Islam suck on a cigarette you decaying piece of dog turd.
The only ever thing you have done good in your life was to give up smoking and donate money to your woman that shat you out. You even failed at that you miserable piece of fail. Her doctors deserve credit for pulling you out of the pan, after all, you have grown up to be nothing more than the produce of irritable bowel syndrome.
Hey you all believe in karma. So it does not matter if you all give up smoking. Karma will bite you all so hard on the arse that cancer would be the least of your worries. Karma sucks. I enjoyed reading about the uninsured PUMA – I really do hope it gets denied the treatment that you now campaign to deny others. In fact Karma would suggest that the dirty bigot gets every expensive disease going. How much would your hate pac donate? Sweet FA. All your PAC does is feed your increasingly ugly self while you and your husband kick Americans out of jobs. How many jobs did the Murphy family outsource this year? Karma would suggest you, Darragh Murphy would choke on crispy duck.
Dances with Scum – may I remind you as you collect money for someone who has in the past failed to maintain financial records and yet again fails to maintain them of the law about accessory to the fact. You know what you are doing even though Murphy has not even given you a single cent. Not one. As you said Dances – is it any wonder PUMAs are called stupid?
So go on PUMAs get angry. Go for it you bunch of idiots. Get very angry. Then ask Darra$h Murphy where has all that money gone? What has PUMA PAC done with it. Did Murphy and PUMA PAC really raise only $100k, or was it $1million or the $10 million Darra$h declared on tv?
Remember Darragh Murphy already declares she gets $2000 a month from PUMA PAC. Not bad for a blog a day. Her holidays are paid by you. So go on get very very angry.
Especially you you Siskind, you self declared racist piece of scum. When are you going to stop women being abused by a Republican con artist? When are you going to understand sexism is bigger than Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Stop using hate sites to promote your agenda. Stand up to them if you really oppose sexism.
PS Murphy. Sue my big fat gay arse. I triple dare you.

This is how to handle bigots.
A year ago, the House Armed Services Personnel Subcommittee held a hearing on DADT that received wide attention, primarily for the way many of the Congressman Patrick Murphy called bullshit on the supporters of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
This video should be a lesson to all Democrats. This is how you handle bigots. It winds them right up – GET IN THEIR FACES. He goes right for the bigot psycho Elaine Donnelly should be viewed again and again…particulary by those gay group talking heads afraid of appearing “not nice” when they appear opposite Antigay Industy troglodytes on TV:
I initially did not care much for Senator Gillibrand initially, she had some strange backers such as the sick hypocrite Amy Siksind.
However she has now taken up the battle for gay rights in America and whether that is because she is being primaried, I do not know (or care). She initially sought an 18 month moratorium on DADT, but tabled the bill as she could not get support to table it to the Defense Expenditure Bill.
She is now going for the Senate Armed Services Committee. Good on her.

Where Are The PUMA Lot Now?
Crossposted at StupidPumas.com
___________________________________
Miley Cyrus is young, good looking and star of Disney popcorn tv for kids, “Hannah Montana”. She is also in this months Elle magazine.
Amy Siskind feels that she must “have a conversation with her daughter” about this.
I will leave aside the issue the fact that it appears Amy Siskind likes to have conversations with her daughter about how women are put upon and exploited in this big mean World. After all, she is the one who wanted to describe to her daughter how the resignation of Sarah Palin was a dark moment for America. So I doubt
that conversation will be about how as an entertainer, Cyrus has joined the Time Magazine list of the 100 most influential people in the World.
I will also leave aside the fact that here are many fashion magazines for young girls. Most cover cheesy pop stars. The kind of stuff kids like to read about. On the other hand Elle magazine is the World’s most popular fashion magazine for a reason. It is mature fashion magazine that targets women in their late twenties and thirties. It does not preach high fashion. Hence the readership of Elle has a median age of 33, not 11.
What troubles me is what she supposedly proposes to tell her daughter. Not that Miley Cyrus is a beautiful young girl , who is enjoying her self image and her sexuality whilst ensuring that her daughter understands that adult fashion sell a body image that is often unachievable.
No, Siskind says that this image
shows Miley to be “slutty and ready”.
I remember the PUMA poutrage over the Palin joke made by David Letterman. PUMA people were all over what was a bad taste joke like fleas on a stray dog.
Back when Jon Favreau the speech writer for Barack Obama was pictured with a cardboard cut out of Hillary Clinton, you would have thought the World had ended. All PUMA people wanted to attack that picture.
So where are the PUMAs when it comes to calling out this cheap and tacky remark by Siskind?
Siskind proves again, you can take the PUMA out of the logo, but you can not take the hypocrite out of the PUMA.
Here is Amy Siskind in a picture that can be described as artistic or how would Amy describe it again?

LOL. A Blog War. Anyone For Tea?
PUMA most certainly must be the new(ish) American word for stupid. Now I do have to say I thought for a while about posting this. There most certainly was no rush to reply to a hate filled screed written by some PUMA person.
There is always going to be someone wrong on the internet.
This really PUMA PUMA person may wish to have a blog war with little ol’ me. In part because I was bored and replied to some PUMA people on one of their blogs and in part because I can be often be found at a great site run by a JohnD mocking PUMA people. I do not however care if this PUMA person wants a “war” with me. She is one of those bitter losers who thankfully left the Democratic Party on or after May 31 2008. I hope they stay gone. Really I do. Good riddance.
To me, the best Candidate for the nomination of the Democratic Party won the Primaries. His Campaign Team even had the good grace to compromise at the DNC Rules Committee on 31 May 2008, allowing Florida and Michigan to be half seated, benefiting his opposing candidate – even though all candidates agreed to having no votes from Florida and Michigan. I felt strongly Barack Obama was a better candidate than Hillary Clinton, because I felt he had the better chance of winning. He won. I am happy. PUMA people are sad, that makes me even happier. I am proud that America elected President Barack Hussein Obama. Your President FL Barbara, for another 3 1/2 to 7 1/2 years.
I have some respect for BJK, the blog owner there. The elitist Amy Siskind has nothing on her when it comes to Women’s issues. I also have some respect for her issues. I raised with BJK that it seems to be hypocritical for her to support feminist issues when she has on her blog roll a site like NoQuarter. A completely racist and sexist site. PUMA Barbara does not by the way see the racism, sexism or homophobia.
Not really an issue and in no way as hypocritical as the fake Amy Siskind, who got called out on the excellent Bitch Ph.D. Siskind is happy to call NQ “her friends” and even promotes them on the blog. As I will continually point out, When it comes to issues of real importance to women, such as the assasination of Dr Tiller, she was strangely silent. That makes her NoQuarter post declaring the resignation of Sarah Palin “a dark moment for America” even more perverse. She even promotes Michelle Bachman, something universally laughed at.
With Siskind and ultra PUMA Barbara, I am not sure what attracts them most about NoQuarter, the racism and homophobia, or the disgusting sexism.
PUMA people now love to shrug off charges of racism. Even Siskind does. So supporting these groups is more likely to do her causes damage than help them. Nobody takes PUMA people seriously. In fact this is why Amy Siskind asked Harriet Christian to become a founding member of The New Agenda, but not to tell anyone.
BJK then went all Birfer. Not once, twice. By doing so, as I warned her, she attracted PUMA people who very much are at the bottom of the food chain. Hence getting in to an argument with the idiot FLBarbara and Bird. It does appear that BJK is probably just wanting to up her readership by appealing to those stupid people.
In fact “Boogieman”, who is so PUMA that he(??) is almost illiterate even turned up on the thread attacking me.
This FLBarbara is however quite simply just so PUMA it is laughable. She pretty much blames me for some Libertarians wearing Palin is a Cunt T Shirts, but finds no sexism in this Michelle Obama post. I guess FLBarbara must have thighs and whiskers that are too large to see past. Maybe FL Barbara is just upset that she can not fit in her drag outfit any more. After all, according to her, that was not sexist when directed at the First Lady. (By the way I think Michelle Obama would make an excellent President in 2016/2020).
FLBarabara is a harridan of hate. So much hate and so much PUMA that yep, she really has no understanding of things she says.

Going to the store to buy Kool-aide for my stand.
I am serious I am going to sell
PUMA-LAIDEOrange flavored
With a big O on the cup.5.00 all you can drink.
What ever person really wants to get a “puma-laide”, needs to be paid, a hell of a lot more than $5.00 and far far more if they have to drink from the cup.
Now this FLBarbara is one of those PUMA people that cry out for free speech, (she felt it was wrong that she could not wear “Obama is a Ni@@er” t-shirts). She is also however, along with her friend “Bird” they type of person who demands a site blocks any alternative view point.
JohnD found this very good post from a PUMA person calling herself “deadgirl”;
“in the interest of free speech, why don’t you go find a porta-potty to cozy up to and discuss your shared too small of a world view, since you will get more empathy affection and discussion there than you will here with me, and a very confined space to think about your small world.”
That applies to you FLBarbara.
This FLBarbara does however understand that other PUMA people lack the ability to read other blogs themselves. She says that in my last post, attacking Amy Siskind (and her), I attacked Palin and Clinton. You semi illiterate piece of street slug excrement. I attacked neither Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin in my last post. I pointed out that Amy Siskind wants to take credit for the World spinning on her Barkingmad backing New Agenda blog.
As for leaving the FEC dodging paid PUMA Queen Darragh Murphy alone, of course I will. Every $ she takes off you stupid people, I laugh at. I find that there is a delicious irony there when on one of her posts she uses the tag, “You’ve Been Had”. I hope that she has made $millions off PUMA people. Really, I do. I find it absolutely hilarious you think it is bullying to wonder where her FEC records are. Or even why there has never been a donation to Hillary Clinton recorded in her name. Wow. Of course I want her to continue. Every $ given to Murphy is another not given to some lunatic cause like the KKK that you would have otherwise of donated to. So go on give big.
As shown there – Murphy does not know how much she raised.
You and I it seems care not that all that donated money appears to go only towards a $9.90 pcm website. I care not that there was no high profile advertising but you gave lots for it. In fact one of the only ads that appeared from PUMA PAC, in spam form was a fake).
Just as fake at the 99 Things, Rap you claim Obama appeared to, another PUMA fake. You are just a fake. In fact the whole basis of the passport story ran by PUMA people is also a fake. There was no travel ban to Pakistan in 1981. Here are the 1981 visa instructions for American citizens travelling to Pakistan.
All that I ask of PUMA people is that they concentrate on helping Sarah Palin. Go on be single minded about it. No body, even those as nutty as Baachman would want a bunch of racist bitter losing zealots on their side. So when you associate with any cause you will ensure it fails.

The New Agenda And Amy Siskind Are So PUMA It Is Just Funny.
Nutty NoQuarter contributor (an extreme sexist and race hate site), Amy Siskind, who set up New Agenda (a feminist group that actually does not care about feminist issues) with a group of even more disaffected PUMAs and who claims credit for the Hillary Clinton speech at the Council for Foreign Relations and for Judge Sotomayor getting though her hearings now has a new person to endorse as well as pretending to endorse Hillary Clinton, fully endorsing Sarah Palin, (according to The New Agenda, her resignation was a dark moment for America), The New Agenda has a new friend.
Equally nutty mad Rethug
(click the pic for the lunacy)
Yep – Michelle Bachmann. What a great feminist icon to nutters. i somehow doubt that Siskind will advocate for whoever her Democratic opponent is. Barkingman is so crazy that only really PUMA people could possibly endorse her. Not even the FEC dodging paid PUMA Queen, Darragh how much money have you taken Murphy (who is currently selling Islam Sucks v995) would endorse her.
You have to be so PUMA, that you are barely able to function in order to try and endorse Barkingman as a feminist candidate. Or just manipulative desperate to get the nuts off NQ donating money.
Yay Palin 2012 (to 2014 1/4). Michelle Bachmann for President. Finally the Republicans will have found someone to make Palin appear moderate.
In the meantime, the quite likeable, but still PUMA, BJK has gone of and left her blog in the hands of a few PUMA people. They are so PUMA that they are barely literate. However, I think they love me.
Siskind should be careful about endorsing the likes of Barkingmad. PUMAs do not like alternative opinions and choice in all areas confuses them. Two extremist stupid people to support may just make their little brains go pop.

Larry Johnson Sinks Even Further Into The Cesspit Of Hate
My article about the questionable associations that the New Agenda has with NoQuarter was reposted at the Stupid Pumas Blog.
I had thought when writing this article the examples presented were proof of just how low and scummy NoQuarter could get. I was wrong. The self eating amoeba scum have now lowered themselves below even the whitey tape incident.
http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2009/07/11/whats-wrong-with-this-picture
So one question needs to be asked of Ms Siksind, how does her association with the lowest form of online scum help “women and girls”?
Even today, PalinPAC Lite is carrying yet more articles about how Sarah Palin was so badly treated. Will she condemn the disgraceful homophobia displayed by NoQuarter? I certainly will not hold my breath. If the article had been about Todd, that would have been a different matter. Will PUMAs condemn it? I doubt it.
NoQuarter, dirty, homophobic, filthy, bullshit mouthing bigots.

Rather than drive the traffic to the scummy site, someone on DU pointed out I should share it
The Scummy article in question
This picture and the accompanying story ran in a NY Times blog back on January 20, 2009, the week before the inauguration of Barack Obama. The pictures are puzzling and a bit amusing, the story is kind of interesting (in a yadayadayada kind of way), and the public comments are nauseating. I’ll try to summarize each of these elements, but I fear if I have to read some of those comments more than twice, I’ll likely be too queasy to finish.
Here we see our current president in a picture from his college days, sitting next to his self-professed best friend and roommate, Sohale Siddiqi. These photos were taken in 1981, according to the NYT article. And by the way, isn’t that sofa upholstery the same material as Michelle Obama’s Inauguration Day outfit?
And who took the picture? Obama’s other roommate, Phil Boerner, who was the voluntary source of these pictures and was interviewed for the blog article in NYT from January. His picture is below, but please don’t peek ahead!
Here is a quote from that blog:
Mr. Boerner, who lives in California and is a registered Democrat, said he had kept his recollections to himself during the campaign, but thought he would share them now as his friend makes history.
Who are these people? Where have they been? And where are they now? And more importantly, what did they have to hide during the campaigns?
Is either of them married? Are they normal family men now, successful in their careers? Can they pass a UA?
Why were they silent and unknown during the election? Did someone “ask” them to hide in spider holes until after the election? Was a hint of cement shoes involved?
Is it just me, or does this seem kind of hinky? We’ve been asking each other and the world for the last year, “Where are Obama’s friends from his youth?” And, like our questions about his school records and other documentation from his adult past, those questions go unanswered. Even the crickets are mum.
Why the HELL didn’t the NYT, or any mainstream media, find and interview these guys and other people from Obama’s life when it counted most!?! During the election!
Why are we just now seeing this and hearing about his college roommates? The NYT buries it in a blog, and no other major media has done stories on Obama roommates and friends from his past. Why the hell not?
The answer is obvious. The MSM was protecting Obama.
We count on the media to investigate politicians. What they did to Sarah Palin was not that unusual for yellow journalism. However, there was a complete breach of faith and goodwill from the vast majority of major media; they made no attempt to vet Barack Obama. Instead, they became part of his team, labeling all the vetting questions as racist, right wing, and/or lunatic fringe. Meanwhile, they pass off their partisan opinions as neutral news.
And out of Obama’s whole academic and young adult life, not one single friend came forward at any of his campaign appearances, that I know of. Were these guys, or any other old friends from his youth, invited to the Inauguration? Or were they told to STFU?
Was Obama invisible for ten years? Didn’t he have any friends besides these two? Was he the original model for “The 40-year-old Virgin?”
So far, we still don’t know.
If I won the lottery or got famous, I’m absolutely confident that I’d be hearing from dozens of old friends from school days and beyond. Whether to ask for money or simply to share the spotlight, I know they’d be showing up. But not for the most popular president in history! Apparently he only knew these two guys.
Obama included Siddiqi in his book “Dreams of My Father,” referring to him as Sadik. Several sources I found used this description, or similar words:
Obama describes Saddiqi as “a short, well-built Pakistani” who smoked marijuana and snorted cocaine. Siddiqi was from Karachi, Pakistan and came to America from London on a tourist visa. He overstayed his visa, becoming an illegal alien.
Well-built? This is what Obama considers buff? He looks a bit, you know, frail to me. But then I wasn’t his roomie. Perhaps he was referring to a part of his anatomy not visible in this photo.
OK, that was a low blow. But speaking strictly for myself, if I was one of the guys on that sofa, there’d be some space between us. Pose or no pose.
This Sadik guy is worth a little research. I offer this link only as a suggestion for further reading about him, not as an endorsement of the sources. But I do advise you read up on him to help put their relationship into perspective.
Now it’s time to check out the picture of his other former roommate, Phil Boerner. He looks like he has Asperger’s Syndrome, like Jerry “Hands” Espenson, a character on Boston Legal (damn, I miss that show!). If you’re not familiar with Jerry, he keeps his hands clasped to the tops of his thighs most of the time, even while walking. It’s part of his Asperger’s Syndrome. I don’t know if the roomie pictured here has the syndrome, but his posture looks a bit odd to me. Maybe he’s just a dweeb. Or possibly a dork.
Left: This is Obama’s other roommate, Phil Boerner, in a photo he says was taken by Barack Obama in 1981. That’s probably why it’s fuzzy. Right: Jerry “Hands” Espenson, a character on Boston Legal, played by Christian Clemenson. And yes, he’s standing on his desk.
OK, that’s enough of the photos. Let’s review the article they came from. And then we’ll deal with some of the comments posted when the article ran in January, if I don’t upchuck on my keyboard first.
This article, based on Boerner’s recollections, does not say that Sohale Siddiqi was a roommate of Obama and Boerner, but nearly every source I could find stated that Obama and Sohale Siddiqi were roommates while Obama attended Columbia University in NYC, at the time these photos were taken.
Anyway, this article doesn’t even mention “Sadik,” but focuses instead on Phil Boerner, who stated that Obama was his roommate “for a semester.” I suppose there could easily have been three of them living together, but then this article states:
Though the two men stayed in touch, the housing arrangement ended that winter. Mr. Boerner thinks the leaseholder took the apartment back. Mr. Obama recalled in his memoir giving up the place “for lack of heat.”
Or maybe they were kicked out for other reasons. Mr. Boerner doesn’t seem to recall. Could it have been drug use? The illegal alien? Jealousy? I’m just asking myself these questions, not insinuating anything, mind you.
Boerner also recalls “Museums. Jogging in the park. Breakfasts at Tom’s on Broadway, not yet the celebrated hangout of Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza.” Hey, what about Elaine and Kramer? You can’t break up a set!
And “They listened to reggae. Bob Marley. Peter Tosh.” Gee, I used to love Bob Marley, too. I remember those pictures of him smoking those huge “spliffs,” or cigar-sized marijuana joints. And those lovely Bob Marley lyrics, like this line from Talking Blues, “And I feel like bombing a church, now that I know that the preacher is lying.” That’s a real quote, folks, just so you know.
And Boerner also recalled, “Some nights Mr. Obama would whip up some chicken curry, a dish he learned from a Pakistani friend. Other meals were at Tom’s.” Hmmm. A Pakistani friend? I wonder who that would be. Oh, I know! It must have been Babu!!
OK, let’s move on to the comments. Seriously, I’m provoking my own gag reflex here, so I hope it’s not contagious! Please, don’t read any further if you have a full stomach or are eating. Especially if it’s curry!
I have already given a citation for the original article, so you can read them all there, if you are inclined. And since I have cited the original, I don’t feel obliged to give “credit” or blame, in the way of giving the names of commenters quoted here. And I don’t mean to be overly dramatic about it. These comments are probably no worse than others you’ve seen in the last few months, but I was just so stunned seeing them with barely any rebuttal from sane people. So here are a few samples:
We have a President who befriended white guys from the Catskills and shared smokes with Pakistani students as a college student. That is severely cool.
Oh, yes! Severely, if not catastrophically!
Obama has the psychological make-up of major world leader, let’s hope it’s for the good.
You can tell by the way he snuggles up to Pakistanis.
What humility, what heart, what a mind. I am in awe that we, the American people, finally picked a good one. Tears well in my eyes every time I look at him and his beautiful family. Let’s really get behind him and do what’s right.
Where’s my Mylanta?
He will be THE BEST, he is a true human being.
Oh, jeez, I hope I can make it to the bathroom!

On THE VIEW Obummer was nervous nellying himself on the couch squeezed in between….ughie ewww…WOMEN who obviously made him very very extremely uncomfortable!
Even Jay Leno (his fan club cheerleader) had a segment from The View asking why Obummer seemed to adjust his pants, jacket and seem generally ever so disturbed being tooooooo CLOSE TO THE WOMEN ON THE VIEW.He sure as hell is NOT nervous sitting beside the WELL-BUILT PAKISTANI “roommate”.
Michelle’s such a great cover!….

We voters do deserve to know everything there is to know about Obama’s friends and associates. This article is the first bit of gossip aside by Larry Sinclair that I have run across in the past two years. I checked out the Sadiq link and found it even more revealing than the photo. According to the info in the link, Obama first met Sadik at Occidental as the friend of some other Pakistani acquaintances. Obama and Sadik became roommates when Obama shortly thereafter transferred to Columbia, even though Sadik was not a student and entered US on a tourist visa. He was a drug user, became an illegal alien, and, despite all that, is still living in this country. Of course, we have to ask, what is there about Sadik that would make him such a desirable roommate? The overall picture doesn’t suggest any good or redeeming qualities on Obama’s part to me. Unless…Obama was a budding spy milking his Pakistani friends for everything he could get out of them and vice versa for Sadik.

I was thinking they didn’t want these two men out of the shadows because of Larry Sinclair…

My Gaydar started failing after I turned 40 – but I got to say that first pic revved it back up.
They do look very chummy. Where is Larry Sinclair when you need him?
Also – I felt it was so odd that when the Gay leaders met BHO in the WH last month that Michelle was there – and looking for all the world like an enforcer.

re: sinclair – Not that I follow what’s going on with him, but he has self-published a book and it has started shipping. Maybe this guy wasn’t such a fraud after all??

I noticed Michelle at that event also – standing right behind him… when has she done that at other events like that? It totally seemed like an “I’m not gay, look, I have a wife!” kind of thing…

Those burly whiskers are enough to scare anyone, straight or gay. Oof.

When I allow myself to think about what the MSM and the DNC did to Hillary and to our nation I could just scream my head off. I hope with all my being that Howler Dean and Donna Brazil-nut fall as long and hard as 0-bla-bla will — the sooner the better.
They better find a huge rock to crawl under when the truth finally surfaces about BO–the biggest fraud to ever occupy the White House.

How Does Hate Help Women And Girls?
It looks as though some PUMAs may have evolved from being nothing but a hate site to being a hate site suffering some mea-culpa.
The Widdershins, which still links to the disgracefully racist Stormfront copy, PUMAPAC, had a post that actually expressed some contrition for the sexist and racist way that they treated Michelle Obama during the election.
Of course, attempts at posting there proved to be futile. Having an opposing opinion when dealing with a PUMA is to them the most dangerous thing ever. The replies are still up but my comments are conveniently removed.
For what they have in the form of bitterness, they lose out in brains, as proven by their inability to have a real debate. PUMA mea culpa may be fine, but it comes about only in the context of the pain they feel for losing their real candidate, Sarah Palin.
In summary, the disgusting treatment PUMA groups meted out to Caroline Kennedy was dismissed because Caroline Kennedy to them was a “Princess” who “deserved her treatment, because (primarily) she supported Barack Obama, she was “under qualified”, “inexperienced” and by making her name known that she may have been interested in the New York Senate seat, she got what she deserved.
PUMA Groups remain determinedly attached to race hate. They are actually worse than Stormfront Nazis. At least with Stormfront Nazis you know what you are dealing with.
PUMAPAC themselves are as a group finished and worthy of not much more than pure derision. Their defence of their racist positions is just something to behold. . It was so obvious from day one that Darragh Murphy was nothing but a Republican opportunist.
Her idiot fans have given her over $100k in the past year (PUMA at one stage claimed millions of members who must only have contributed 1c). In reality she is playing the FEC and has never fully accounted for how much she has taken from them. Stupid people and their money.
Amy Siskind of The New Agenda is however an entirely different creature. She is a PUMA of sorts, who wanted revenge on the Democratic Party because its Primary process led to the selection of Barack Obama. She has however made clear that she wants nothing to do with some of the nuttier PUMA types. In particular, Harriet Christian, who Siskind would gracefully allow to be a New Agenda member provided she told no one about it. Needless to say, Harriet Christian, although infamous for being a racist nut is not that nutty. On the FEC Dodger site, she told Siskind to basically go F*ck off.
Siskind gets that quite a lot now. The major Women’s group in America, The National Organization for Women had their election quite recently. Quite arrogantly, Siskind and other PUMA bigots wanted to take credit for the slate that won. Siskind called it a coup. NOW were having absolutely nothing to do with it and in no way want to be associated with a bunch of people who have achieved nothing.

You cannot claim A COUP, when all the work to give NOW new life came directly from NOW Feminist like me, that have never heard of the NEW Agenda. The fact that a very few of you attended does not make a coup! I am a National Board member from Texas. The first I have ever heard of you was from a NOW President,.We are not new agenda/Palin supporters. We support candidates and women that adhere to choice . We also do not condone Letterman or any one that promotes misogyny and abuse of women either in Word or Deed. I for one supported Terry O’Neill because she is the most qualified to take on the Fiscal challenges that NOW is facing. In this country there is room for all concepts of inclusion including the NEW AGENDA, but NOW is NOT RIPE for the picking! YOU, will have to do your own joint collaborations with other Legitimate groups to build a network just as NOW has in over 40 years. No coup was masterminded by the New Agenda, it was the membership that wanted a new direction. NOW is happy to have people that support our AGENDA, and inclusion of All women , and Women of Color. Diana Castaneda, South Central Region, Texas/Combating Racism Task Force Member
It is worth noting the position Diana Castaneda holds – combating racism. Something that The New Agenda believes is not relevant. They really do believe that.
In reading our blog, we seem to hitting against a new issue – the issue of racism. I would make the same request of our viewers. There are many wonderful national organization devoted to speaking out against racism. For those of you that find your life impacted by the color of your skin, you will probably prefer to join organizations which are devoted to that important issue.
This would explain why a front page poster at The New Agenda is Larry “Whitey Tape” Johnson. Whose irrational hate for President Obama is now legendary. Maybe, given that The New Agenda wants to be considered as moderate, the level of hate would have died down.
Nope the filthiest of filthy bigoted scum still post there. Free to desire death against the President and those who voted for him.

Hillary didn’t go to Russia because of her elbow. It’s that simple. There’s no conspiracy by Obama here.
BTW, she’s also giving a major foreign policy speech next week, and going on her first overseas trip since the injury.

pyw, that is just so cute! obama did nothing. Please! you are writing to people with good minds that aren’t fools. that bull might work on the obit sites but not here. keep moving, nothing from this poster worth reading!

“that bull might work on the obit sites but not here.”
LOL, stodgie – I’m sure you meant to write ‘obot sites’ but you made me think of how much I crave seeing an obot obit site!
I can’t wait to read the obit of the obots – either they all walk off a lemming cliff together, or they wake up from their self-induced hypnotic slumber wondering where they are and where their country is. Then the adults who retained their critical thinking skills can clean up after them……..

actually queen of hearts, i didn’t make a mistake. it is a pun though it is maybe a small one. it is my small way to show the total lack of respect i have for them.
These are the people Siskind quite happily calls her friends.
Of course, The New Agenda would never allow such hate. Wrong. The same article is now on The New Agenda blog.
NoQuarter is a site that has allowed posters to call Michelle Obama a ho, sasquatch and worse. The New Agenda says that the children of candidates should be off limits. A very worthy point.
NoQuarter disagrees about family being off limits. Their posters also disagree about the children being off limits. And of course, it is not sexist or racist to attack Michelle for her high school pic, calling her a drag queen. One of the NQ front pagers called her Blow Job Queen, I can imagine the reaction of Siskind if someone had said that of Hillary.
This is only to be expected from Amy Siskind and The New Agenda. The assassination of Dr Tiller was a truly dark day for America. It did not even warrant a post on The New Agenda blog. Not a word. To Siskind, the dark day for America was the resignation of Sarah Palin.
The New Agenda is not just PUMA Lite, it is Palin PAC lite. It serves no purpose other than to attempt to undermine the work of true feminist groups such as NOW, while promoting Sarah Palin.
No wonder she said feminism is dead. So a question to the woman who claims to be a liberal, but is proud to say she is a racist – how does promoting hate help women and girls?
