Mark said...: Death seems like more than they hoped for, I think finding someone they could trump up a charge on was more than they expected.

Actually, I think they had that video "in the pocket" for just such an emergency. The crew running the show don't seem very good at thinking on their feet, but they are good at opposition research.

One thing they didn't want to see during the election cycle was an organized terrorist attack on American interests. So I actually think being able to bag and tag Nakoula was their insurance.; 5/9/13, 8:40 PM
Methadras said...: Jay said...

In your experience, is re-incarceration normal for Nakoula's parole violation

I was speaking only thinking of the making of the video.

He apparently got a fake driver's license and that, without a doubt, would land you in jail whether on parole for federal or state supervised releases.

I regret the error.

Wow, democrats went after their own for getting a fake drivers license? Hmmm, guess they are really clamping down on their voter ID fraud now huh?; 5/9/13, 8:42 PM
Known Unknown said...: I'm not one of those partisans who wants to seize on this to drive Obama out of office. That would be a disaster, because he's black. It would lead to decades of political revenge.

Me neither. They could have avoided this entire fiasco by saying "We fucked up. We should've got more support to them, but we realized we didn't have enough time — or thought we didn't have enough time. We are sorry for their loss in defending our own ... "

Of course it was too close to the election.; 5/9/13, 8:46 PM

Methadras said...: phx said...

I don't have an opinion on Susan Rice's testimony.

You do understand how utterly laughable this is right? To make a statement like this right? That you have no opinion on a UN Ambassador that went out and regurgitated and lied five separate times over American and International airwaves to proclaim that the attack on the annex in Benghazi that led to the deaths and wounding of Americans and the deaths of four of them, was due to a spontaneous protest to a video no one had ever seen or knew about?

I'm not exactly sure how in this case you would be qualified in any meaningful way you are to extoll your opinion on the subject at all. If you have no opinion on it, then how can you make any cogent arguments to the veracity of what the evidence is, by virtue of giving opinions on anything else after the fact?

You are egregiously, unfathomably, and detestably stupid to even say something like this.; 5/9/13, 8:52 PM

So you believe Susan Rice then?

I didn't hear [Susan] Rice.

phx's standard deflection tactic is a refusal to engage evidence inconvenient to his worldview. After Newtown he hyped the invented meme that a father of a victim was heckled, but refused to admit watching the video proving his attacks wrong. There have been other instances as well.

Re: you liberals
Words are words. Actions are actions. You can say whatever you want about your attitudes and allegiances, but your actions are clear: you never attack liberals, you never add energy to actively downplay or undermine any issue whose direction/topic could hurt liberals or Democrats, and you always do your best to attack or blame conservatives for just about anything.

So, yeah: you don't speak for all liberals, but since you all are low-information grunts spreading the official talking points, it is a distinction without a difference.; 5/9/13, 9:29 PM

Agree, its sort of like when you see a Lefty with a "Free Mumia!" t-shirt or a poster with a picture of terrorist lawyer Lynne Stewart with the caption "Lynne Stewart persecuted 1st Amendment Hero".

It makes you want to go out and give money to the Left so they can get a 100 more Lefties in Mumia t-shirts or waving the face of a woman that can peel paint just by looking at it.

If the Left is crafty, they will try to get the scumbag to run as a Republican after he gets released from his probation violation, but before he commits his next fraud or tries establishing another meth lab.

Well, that leaves me out. I guess Obama is a genius. I just don't understand how so much extra education over the basics seems to still leave one so incompetent. Maybe it's just beyond me. If only I'd stayed in school. I guess I'm stuck on stupid without them hours of listening to the kind of preachers you all have in them there institutes of higher lernin, like Obama. He knows stuff I probably couldn't even understand if he splained it to me real slow.

Still, even us idiots know when a man is a liar, and when a man is dead, and we understand honor and responsibility just fine.

If interested, go back to the Jason Collins thread, she gets into it with the commenter "Matt" She called her daughter brittle, a term he and many other parents of children with diabetes find extremely offensive. It's a huge clusterfuck of a thread, but the newest page has the back and forth. I'll repost Matt's reply below.

Matt said...
Inga said...
And Matt, the term is still being used, you are a strange one, I would wonder why anybody needs to sit up with a child with controlled juvenile diabetes. I think you may be lying or you are obsessive, whatever the reason, it's not normal.

4/30/13, 10:43 AM

How I care for my daughter is none of your fucking business. Controlled diabetes does not guarantee safety and you should damn well know that. Now stop talking about my daughter. Jesus, you claim not to get personal but you won't drop it. Fuck off.

And as I said, if you have a problem with the term being considered archaic, bring it up with Merck.

While looking it up, it became clear that many people find the usage of "brittle" offensive. You want to keep calling people the diabetic equivalent of "retard" that is your business.

People, including very brave Navy SEALs, died for no good reason, abandoned by the Obama adminstration - and the left's response is to continue to mock the right for giving a shit.

Nice.

Noonan wrote of the Obama adminstration's cynical actions: how low must their opinion of the American people be to think they could get away with this forever.

You also said you knew nothing of what Susan Rice had said.

So - you're all for the truth, but if you don't pay attention to the story and keep yourself willfully ignorant of the facts, well, then you'll never find yourself in the painful, painful situation of having to agree with conservatives.

"He deserves to go to jail, but finding him and arresting him was just a big show to bolster the stupid video causation lie."

This!

The late-night arrest with dozens of officers, etc... what a crock.

What would routinely happen, in such a case, is that his parole officer would call him during PO's normal working hours, and say, "Mr. Nakaoula, can you come in this afternoon, or tomorrow? We need to talk about some things."

Heck, I know somebody who was out, not on parole but on bail, waiting charges on a DUI (not his first.) One of the conditions of being out on bail was not drinking. So this fellow goes in on a Wednesday afternoon for his first meeting with his PO (same office does parole and bail release, don't know if that's true in every state.) During the meeting it comes out that the guy has been drinking while out on bail. "I'm sorry, Mr. XYZ, that's a violation of the terms of your bail, so we're going to have to cancel it. Can you come back Friday afternoon so we can process you back into jail?"

So, while you are irritating, the irritation is tinged with sadness and pity.

Through all your shitting on conservatives here, there is one thing you clearly know: despite what a nasty person you are, you know that no one here would ever do any harm to you because, if the conservatives here were really as awful as you pretend they are, the moment your personal info was revealed, you would have left and never come back.

As such, your persistence in remaining here and being, well, you is your testament and tribute to the fundamental decency of the conservative people here you daily treat like shit. So, thank you for acknowledging my fundamental decency and every time I see you laying down your thick veneer of garbage, I will remember that you are really saying, "Thank you all you wonderful people for tolerating my inane and insane ravings."

A friend of mine took an in-person Veritas course and recommended I get their critical reasoning books. Once I realized how to classify the critical reasoning questions, I began to understand the formulaic steps recommended to solve the questions."

That's nice.

Anyway,

ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department. The edits included requests from the State Department that references to the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack.

That would appear to directly contradict what White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said about the talking points in November.

But, there seems to be evidence (above) that the sort of things that he was on parole for wouldn't have warranted this sort of time. Coming more and more to believe that he was (IHMO inadvertently) a hero.

The more that the militant Muslims react violently to this sort of thing (the video this time), I think the more that it is going to happen in this country.

Rush mentioned that while the Cleveland monster got a bail set, Nikola gets no bail.

Nakoula was out on parole and violated his probation. Probation violators were already "out on bail" before they violated the terms of their release. That's what this clown did.

His conviction was for fraud and using stolen identities, which Nakoula/Bacile repeated with this movie. He wasn't allowed to use computers without his probation officer giving permission. This last claws is very common with modern crimes making it very hard for parolees to make a living. But Bacile/Nakoula wasn't making a living, he was defrauding people yet again.

Nakoula/Bacile owes about $700,000 in restitution, which he wasn't paying. Raising money for this movie should have gone to pay back the previous victims of his crimes.

This guy is another two-bit Bernie Maddoff and meth manufacturer, but for some reason, folks want to make a hero/martyr out of the guy. Maybe folks have been watching too much Breaking Bad.

I play Eve Online. The staffer that was killed in Benghazi - whether you know him as Sean Smith or Vile Rat - was "one of ours".
