Anyone proclaiming against the new order will be called a racist often enough and loud enough that people will begin to ignore that person. It's what 35 to 50 years of conditioning has done to the people.Icepickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616554052707230326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-47499596746898133212013-05-25T19:38:15.462-05:002013-05-25T19:38:15.462-05:00BTW, ever notice there are a lot more cars with Ob...<i>BTW, ever notice there are a lot more cars with Obama stickers since the "election" than there ever were before it?</i><br /><br />Most likely a dead thread now, but anyway...<br /><br />I have noticed that. I'm also noticing more Romney stickers now than before the election. Not sure that it means anything.<br /><br />...<br /><br />As for whether or not they stole the election: I believe they would if they could, and perhaps they did. But how is it they perpetrated this massive fraud without someone somewhere gloaming on to it and starting to expose it?<br /><br />Frankly, given what I see on the web, on TV and especially in real life, I find it easy to believe that the American electorate is just stupid enough and lazy enough and, frankly, minority enough to re-elect Barry.

Go back and point out that prior to Nixon, Democrats abused the system and ‘that is just ancient history, therefore not relevant.’ There is a variant of Godwin's law where opponents are dismissed as ignorant and/or bigoted/racist/homophobes.

"I must stop her!" <br /><br />And yet that's really bizarre, right? The FBI is investigating her. The IRS is investigating her. The ATF is investigating her. OSHA is investigating her.<br /><br />This is an innocent woman! Utterly innocent! How is it that her name pops up on the radar of so many government agencies?

No, I assumed that the AUSA needed a go-by for a motion to seal, had one in his computer, and cut and pasted, overlooking this little detail. Could happen to anybody.<br />I posted the comment, and the "what the hell?" question because the AUSA in question did this in such a sloppy, unprofessional, and self-destructive way. You guys are mostly lawyers (I'm not) so you tell me: Wouldn't you take a little extra care, maybe proofread your pleadings a little more carefully in this case? I mean, it's not like when this gets unsealed, nobody's going to notice a little slip up like this. It's not like this won't be, as Joe B likes to put it, "a big effin deal." It's not like you're taking on some big media player that buys bandwidth by the terabyte and is likely to object strenuously. Oh, wait. It's Fox News. <br />And, consider the position Mr. Harvey has put his boss in. "I thought you read it." "Well, I thought YOU read it." And finally, do you think the magistrate judge will be real pleased, next time the AUSA shows up with a motion to seal, having been shown to be rather less than diligently inquisitive on the last one? <br />I didn't think so either.
