Brett Kimberlin: "Not only did I have to overcome my past..." Heh.

This 2007 TIME magazine article on convicted Speedway Bomber Brett Kimberlin titled "The Wizard of Odd" contains this interesting bit of Kimberlin biography...

After his release from prison in 1993, Kimberlin pursued a musical career and an import-export business, eventually landing in his mother's basement in suburban Washington with a wife and two children.

I always wondered where that bit of internet lore originated! Note, TIME's Massimo Calabresi was trying hard to be sympatico to this guy!
More from the TIME piece...

KIMBERLIN IS ONE OF THOSE people who indulge in late-night e-mails. "You have to explain what makes me different," he wrote in a message sent to me at 2:36 a.m. last month. "Not only did I have to overcome my past, but I then had to rise above millions of others to accomplish what I have. That is what makes this story special."

Overcome your past, Brett Kimberlin?

How's that working out for you now ?

A SHINING STAR! to Democrats: Convicted Speedway Bomber Brett Kimberlin

Convicted Felon "Speedway Bomber" Brett Kimberlin

Who, you ask, is this assclown Brett Kimberlin, and why should anyone care? After all, he is a convicted prison-term-serving felon, a bomber-terrorist who should just simply be a forgotten nobody begging for Obama's assistance on a street corner in some overly-crowded welfare burg like Baltimore or Philadelphia or New York City ?

Evil Blogger Lady (affectionately known as EBL) has helpfully provided a great wealth of detail about Brett Kimberlin. A snippet...

Brett Kimberlin is an American leftist political activist, convicted felon, and ex-convict.[1]
In 1981, Kimberlin was convicted of a series of bombings that took place in Speedway, Indiana in 1978. When Kimberlin was arrested, authorities found timers in his possession matching the ones used in the bombs. [1][2]

Kimberlin had previously been convicted of charges including conspiracy in an international drug smuggling ring and impersonating a federal officer.[2][3]

Kimberlin was the subject of a 1996 book by journalist Mark Singer which revisited the story of Kimberlin's unsubstantiated claims to have sold Dan Quayle marijuana in the 1970s. [1][2][3][4]

Since being released from prison, it has been reported that Brett Kimberlin's activities have been funded by various left leaning groups, including the George Soros funded Tides Foundation; wife of Senator John Kerry, Teresa Heinz; and Barbara Streisand.[5] Andrew Breitbart warned about Brett Kimberlin via Twitter in October 2011.[6]

Read the rest of the new far-Left Democrat's pet terrorist Brett Kimberlin story there. Thanks! EBL for amassing this data!

Why, again, should we care what Brett Kimberlin is doing today?

Well, we could ask Barbara Streisand, who gave to Brett Kimberlin's 501(c)3 politically-motivated 'hate fund'. One that he's using funds from, as "Lawfare", to attack, threaten and terrorize right-leaning bloggers like RS McCain, who has had to take his family and go into hiding to escape the very real threats this "Proud DEMOCRAT!" Brett Kimberlin has unleashed. After all, when a convicted bomber threatens you, there's reason you should take heed.

Did I mention Barbara Streisand supports this guy? and plenty of other prominent Democrats authoritarians who simply don't want to wait for an election; they want CONTROL! of everything Americans do, and they want it NOW! while they still draw miserable breaths.

This guy is scum, literally scum of the earth, and one of those who needs be put back in jail.

But DEMOCRATS LOVE HIM!

Remember Bill Ayers?

Another unrepentant terrorist who bombed. Lucky Bill didn't do time, but did also become a far-Left hero, launching the political career of our current President from his home. Even ghost-authoring Obama's remarkably well-written (since, Obama's 'writing' has failed to impress) book 'Dreams From My Father' (WHICH father?), if strong evidence can be believed.

Ayers became a Liberal Arts professor, imbibing in our youth his far-Left beliefs and helping CHANGE our Republic to the very fragile state it's now in. Very.Fragile.State. Any wrong move and we could be plunged into financial catastrophe. Why, even the Facebook stock-launch-and-subsequent-crash was worriedly examined as a possible trigger to a financial collapse! (but whatever you do, don't google 'bank run').

How long before Brett Kimberlin also gets 'promoted' to haughty tenured Professor - Pet Unrepentant Terrorist of the Liberal Fascist Left? Wait...he already is. You can donate to his 501(c)3 right now! Just ask Babs Striesand how!

Speaking of #StopRush (since I blog so much nowadays, I'll just fit this right in here!), here's what a principle player and leader to that group, @Shoq, said to his Twitter 'followers' just days ago, celebrating the recent tragic death of Andrew Breitbart:

STOP RUSH Leader "SHOQ" Celebrates Andrew Breitbart's Tragic Death

 There's not many Leftists as hateful and malevolent as is this creature Shoq.

Wait...there are. Plenty of 'em. Just read Markos Moulitsas' Daily Kos. Or venture into Democratic Underground. Or read the commentary at Huffington Post. There are these malevolent critters who are 'kind and oh-so gentle DEMOCRATS! who long for Peace in Our Time everywhere you look! Just look for them, you'll find.

There's this 'Fellow' 'Republican' named Joseph Cotto...

...who has posted, as a 'Republican', calling for the defeat of Wisconsin (REAL) Republican Governor Scott Walker in the upcoming recall election. Cotto says (h/t pw commenter Dale Price) that 'his' sort of Republican isn't really the kind who argues with Democrats; he'd rather let the bully win than get scratched in battle.

Just a weak-spined whimp, Joseph Cotto.

My comment, left at the Washington Times site where this whimp writes...

Firstly, hopefully, the Cotto kid lies. He is not a Republican by stretch of anyone's imagination...or at least I hope he's not. Perhaps he's a plant, a Moby?

Cotto may be a 'dream' Republican in the eyes of the new far-Left Democratic Party; a 'Republican' they can manipulate with deft application of slurs. Cotto likely can't stand up to being called a RAAAAACIST! or some other Alinsky-derived, Obama-honed tactic that Democrats have perfected for use on our 'soft', pliable, weak blue-bloods who are now proven ideological losers (eg. Bob Dole and John McCain).

It's dangerous to allow Cotto to brand himself as a Republican. Like Brooks and Frum and Lisa Murkowski, these sorts give ground to the encroaching Left with every 'moderate' deal they make, and by doing so drive the much-vaunted 'Center' farther to the Left. Congratulations! You've a new starting point; can't you move just a bit more for us, please? It's for the CHILDREN!.

Does anyone really thing that we've stayed Centered, politically, in this ever-weakening, struggling-to-survive Republic? Or have we moved increasing Left-wing as time's passed, because the so-called 'Republican' Party is so weaked by the 'moderates': Cotto, Frum, McCain and Romney, and their ilk, that have as their first-response to 'give ground' easily? 'Losing more slowly', as it's been termed. Google it.

The TEA Party is a response to the far-Left; and as such is a natural and important response to the far-Left. Perhaps it's too late to expect that these good American TEA Partiers (who only want to see this Republic NOT become just another far-Left goon-land dragged down by encroaching neo-Socialists) will succeed in righting this Republic.

Meh. Cotto. I direct a pungent yellow stream in your general direction.

Ricketts GOP Advert: Obama’s chickens are coming home to ROOST!

From today's New York Times, a pants-shitting. It seems that the GOP is finally going to unload on Barack Hussein Obama:

WASHINGTON — A group of high-profile Republican strategists is working with a conservative billionaire on a proposal to mount one of the most provocative campaigns of the “super PAC” era and attack President Obama in ways that Republicans have so far shied away from.

Timed to upend the Democratic National Convention in September, the plan would “do exactly what John McCain would not let us do,” the strategists wrote.

The plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign.

“The world is about to see Jeremiah Wright and understand his influence on Barack Obama for the first time in a big, attention-arresting way,” says the proposal, which was overseen by Fred Davis and commissioned by Joe Ricketts, the founder of the brokerage firm TD Ameritrade. Mr. Ricketts is increasingly putting his fortune to work in conservative politics.

“Our plan is to do exactly what John McCain would not let us do: Show the world how Barack Obama’s opinions of America and the world were formed,” the proposal says. “And why the influence of that misguided mentor and our president’s formative years among left-wing intellectuals has brought our country to its knees.”

Obama's chickens are coming home to ROOST! Finally! And if Senator John McCain opens his flytrap, someone smack him!

This should've happened 5 years ago. The media, including the far-Left New York Times, has done a disservice to this Republic; ignoring the character and underpinnings of this radical person. For Barack Obama to attain the highest office in the land with little more than his gifted speaking ability, using the amorphous and ambiguous words "HOPE" and "CHANGE" and whatever other claptrap phrases he rose up on, with little else of substance, is one of the worst and most divisive political grandstands this nation has ever witnessed.

There's proof of his inability to cogently lead, evidence that's readily apparent to any except the hardest-line leftist partisans who blindly support him: our miserable economic conditions: the unemployment, the high gas prices, the looming inflation that will be the result of the massive money-printing driven by Keynesian economic policies. The total failure of his middle-East endeavors (Egypt, Syria and the Muslim Brotherhood, anyone?).

Yes, Mr. Obama's past must be as well aired as any other politician's. To have waited this long is a travesty.

May Day: It's Not Just for Communists Anymore.

Environmentalists. Al Gore, are you listening?

Unions. The SEIU, the Teacher's unions. Don't forget the UAW and Teamster's; all desirous of a one-Party system controlled by the Democratic Party; the 'Progressives'.

It seems that the Democratic Party, a once-proud Party that Americans could at least count on to 'care' for the Constitution, for the Republic, are now all aligned far-Left; so far-Left that they are correctly termed neo-Communists.

So, happy! May Day to all of you Dirty Socialists. Oh, Democrats.

We'll remember you in November.

Twitter 'Hit List', Organized by the #StopRush Liberal Fascists Who Are All Hatetivists

This had been kept under lock-and-key after Conservatives complained to Twitter about it's existence and purpose; unlocked by Sister Toldjah as relayed by @DarleenClick on protein wisdom.

Below the fold, the entire document...

Big Government vs. George Zimmerman: The Fate of our Judicial System, and maybe even of our Republic

Give this man another cigar. )



More on the Trayvon Martin - George Zimmerman 'case' ...

First, what is most troubling to me about all this — outside of the calculated (and as it turns out, dishonest) attempts by the media and even our own President turn a local tragedy into a symbol of supposed racial animus — is that Zimmerman was arrested months later in what I believe is a case of politically-motivated prosecutorial overreach. It is clear that, as the original investigation disclosed, and the original prosecutor’s office found, there had indeed been an altercation prior to the shooting, with Zimmerman apparently on his back, and Martin shot at very close range.

Second, as I said it at the time and I’m going to repeat now: the (second) prosecutor’s “case” — and I don’t care the political party of those who pushed for a special prosecutor’s investigation, it still reeks of a political scapegoating, Republican or no — is based solely on Zimmerman’s having continued to follow Martin, to the extent he did (even if it was only to get a better look at a house number, etc.), after being advised by a dispatch officer to stay put.

Following someone is not a crime. Being followed may be grounds to confront the person following you, but it isn’t grounds for assault, at least not on its face. So unless the prosecution can somehow prove that Zimmerman followed Martin and then presented himself to Martin as a threat, either by initiating a physical altercation or brandishing the gun — and I don’t think there’s anyway in hell they can do so, short of perhaps testimony of Martin’s girlfriend — there is no case here, and Zimmerman was within his rights to defend himself the way he did.

Zimmerman's upcoming trial will also be a trial of the very worth and security of our entire Judicial System. There'll be more attention focused on this possible farce-trail than on even OJ's and the recent trial of of that little Floridian bint who killed her kid's trials combined; a serious trial (we fervently hope) but still a true three-ring spectacle. This Zimmerman trial will play a significant role in our oh-so important Presidential election.

If Zimmerman prevails (given the evidence I've seen presented publicly, there seems no way he'll be rightfully convicted on a 2nd Degree Murder charge - Manslaughter was their only real option for to secure a conviction as far as I can tell) then Barack Obama's 'son', Trayvon's ghost, will be a top vote-getter for Daddy O!; spurring a bloc of wrathful rage-voters that, along with the others he's already seduced with his 'Community Organizing', with his inflammatory 'Hate the RICH!' and 'Here, more promises of EVEN MORE! monies looted from our Republic's Treasury! IF you VOTE for ME!' rhetorics, Baracky'll have a better chance to secure re-election and to continue to harm this little Republic.

"If I wanted America to fail", I'd certainly be a far-Left Democrat, perhaps named Obama.

In Which I Answer Colonel Mustard With a Slap of Relish UPDATED: MATT OSBORNE WANTS TO JIHAD!

Seems my Twittering over the last couple days has annoyed the far-Left so much that they've picked out some dweeb to attend to me, a scrawny-looking fellow by the name of Matt Osborne. He's one of those namby-pamby sorts without much writing style or flavor; likely a lawyer (got Mariana Trench?). I'd never heard of him; he's not as prominent a Lefty blogger as, say, Markos Moulitsas or even as intelligent as Charles Johnson.

You can read his post defending the #StopRush attacks here.

My sequence of Twitter posts that's annoyed Little Matty stems from Rush Limbaugh's taking the easy bait offered by Sandra Fluke, that gal who wants free ones; who wants to drive her vajayjay as a clown-car but doesn't want to take enough personal responsibility to pay for birth control (a cheap rubber if you can't afford the $9.00/mo. WalMart gets)...she expects someone else to pay for it; in her case, a Catholic University, Georgetown. Democrats, ever-eager to pander to any old gender or racial group seeking special treatment, orchestrated a Partisan meeting where they let the bimbo speak.

Along comes Rush, being Rush, and he took her to task unmercifully. A trap was sprung: WAR ON WOMEN! the Left screeched. The howling was amplified by Media Matters (that Eric Boehlert outfit; he's one nassty Dirty Socialist) and other far-Left 'brain trusts' that exist just to advance their agendas at opportune moments like this (a 'brain trust' of which little Matt must be a sooper-dooper member). So, instead of focusing on Barack Obama's miserable failures in Matters Economic and his inability to create even shovel-ready jobs, we must listen to these fools drumbeat for Rush's head on a platter.

So, I give them things to talk about, with some virulent tweets. Good for me.

Here's the comment I left for little Matty. It might not stay up there; being of the far-Left, he likes to control the narratives to suit his agendas, ignoring anything that doesn't pass 'mustard' in their newly-imagined Ministry of Truth.

Meh. You're just trying to make yourself (a far-Left Liberal Progressive; unnatural in American politics, certainly unnatural to the founders of this Republic) somehow look better, given the hateful tactics you've embraced. I simply return tit for tat, as Alinsky suggested. I know you've heard of him.

Fact is, your Party is now unrecognizable; it's shifted so far-Left that this Republic is faltering, in danger of CHANGE to a state that not even you would appreciate, if you were truly being honest.

I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976, and for Al Gore for TN Rep then TN Senator for several cycles.  But then the Democratic party started visibly shifting so far to Left that I had to leave; Bill Clinton's attacks on the 2nd Amendment was the very last straw. I can't look back, or look at Democrats without seeing an alien-to-American political species; Democrats are now as alien a species to America as is the Asian Carp.

You, personally, should try to step back, and see what collective damage your chosen ideology has done to this nation; LBJ's 'Great Society wasn't, and Obama's amorphous promise of CHANGE you probably can't decipher, either.
I'll tell you this: you won't like the brick wall you're speeding towards. Not one damned bit.

There you go, Matty. Slather it on.

Oh, here's the pshop that excited these clowns. But they stated "Use it as you will". Never say that around me!   )

 The original source photo...
 

...which is itself a damned, onerous lie; Rush never says anything about desiring anyone or any ethnicity or gender to fail (well, except Obama, and he certainly nailed that!), anyone who works hard and doesn't expect handouts. This sort of lie is exactly what the #StopRush group proudly and eagerly puts forth.



 And, my 'fixed' version...

...because I like to tell the damned truth, and I can do so so damned well.

Rush Limbaugh has been kicking their collective LeftLibProgg asses for, what, 30 years? And they CAN'T STAND IT! Therefore, this orchestrated maneuver to put him down.

He hurts 'em, yes he does, precious, he hurts 'em every day for three hours a day. And they hates, hates, HATES! him for it.

As an ideology, the Left's deserves to be so skewered, every chance we get.

UPDATE: MATT OSBORNE WANTS TO JIHAD!

Who, exactly, is this Matt Osborne fellow? Not a lawyer at all; not even a highly-respected Left-Wing Blogger of note. I feel a bit of a let-down, that they'd send such a low-ranking private-plebe to take me to task.

This Matt Osborne (hereafter known as Bubba) fellow is from Florence, Alabama. ALABAMA! Bubba, I'm impressed, let me tell you. So impressed that I've a wide smile on my stone face.

Here's more: Bubba applied for a 'Netroots Democracy for America' Scholarship! That's right, the Nutroots have scholarships for improving their trolls! Let's see what we find...well, the DFA page for Scholarship Applicant #1452 (Bubba) is missing; we get a '404 not found' message. Damned memory hole! Thankfully, g00gle supplies a webcache...

Relentlessly factual policy wonk. Diehard proletarian. Not scared.

I would describe myself as a

Why I deserve a Netroots Nation Scholarship

I would use all 250 words but at the moment I am also busy pinning articles for policymakers and helping organize a pressure campaign on Rush Limbaugh's sponsors. I also have a project next week to webcast the Alabama abortion bill debate. So I'm a little busy, and you'll just have to take my word that I've earned the trip by being the change instead of poutraging at the lack of it.

I manage these blogs

What first inspired me to get involved

Culture warriors came for my mind, and I wasn't giving it to them. At 15, I responded to censorship in my community and my textbooks by helping to start the ACLU's first Alabama chapter.

How I've gotten others involved

Today, I reacted to the news about Rush Limbaugh losing a sponsor by finding the Twitter accounts of his advertisers, then recruiting followers to tweet them and ask them to withdraw sponsorship. As these advertisers announced withdrawal, I retweeted them and thanked them. This all involved crowd participation -- a "virtual riot" that remained disciplined and well-behaved. I wasn't the only one, but I was part, and many followed. A cool online action. One of many. (UPDATE: one week later, we've convinced 33 advertisers to withdraw their sponsorship and gotten at least two radio stations to remove his show and I am highly focused on removing him from Armed Forces Radio - http://bit.ly/x1wkSP copy/paste the URL to sign our White House petition!)
My "Twitter faction" uses a hashtag, #1stAL, in memory of the 1st Alabama Union Volunteer Cavalry. That's right, sons of Alabama took up arms to defend the Union.

More about my volunteer work

I am a volunteer with Progressive Congress News. I scour the 'tubes every day looking for transit & urban development policy information. This goes into a Twitter stream as well as Congressional staffer email inboxes. And I always have a project: right now, I am trying to master a 'bot that will let me set up a news feed like Progressive Congress News for Coal River Mountain Watch.

My Twitter manifesto on online activism

Technology liberates those who liberate themselves.

My suggested bumper sticker slogan

Culture Warriors: come for the party, stay for the jihad

My idea for a cool new online action

A clock showing the number of jobs created (0), destroyed (too many), the number of abortion-related bills in the 112th Congress (also too many) and the number of anti-EPA votes. Believe it or not, this information fits in one tweet (I've done it). Let's have it tweet at Republican House leaders every day from an automated Twitter account so we can all re-tweet it. A simple but adjustable widget would let bloggers put it in sidebars everywhere.

Heh. "Culture Warriors: come for the party, stay for the jihad"
