‘Newstainer’: Employees and ‘guests’ of major corporate broadcast radio, tv and cable organizations whose primary function is to generate cash flow by manipulating and sensationalizing any information, and, whenever possible, do so to also undermine President Obama, destroy the American middle class, erode Medicare/Medicaid, privatize Social Security, and continue to undermine the American economy if that’s what it takes to defeat President Obama and Democratic candidates in 2012.

****

Inspired by Urban Dictionary’s definition of ‘Gone Hamsher‘, Bobfr came up with ‘Newstainer’.

Bobfr? Will you marry me 😉

        “Still, it would be alarming for the party committees and Senate and House candidates if an enormous number of traditional donors in the party were leaving nothing else for anyone else,” he added.

        I say “Sorry about your luck”. Maybe you should raise money by supporting the President and standing strong against Republicans. There is a ton of “Obama Democrats” who want nothing to do with donating to Congress. Most folks who will donate much less than the maximum will have to choose one or the other or split up the money they have set aside for political donations. I’d donate to the Burton PAC group before donating to the DCCC or DSCC.

          I have stated the same the last two times they have called. I gave but under protest ……I told the caller that Democrats can promote their causes without disemboweling the President. I asked them to pass on my comments…..and I know I am not alone in the expression of these sentiments.

      ps: b/c I’m generous I’ll let you keep Deaniac. but Bobfr is mine b/c he’s a native Texan and I’m a native Texan. It’s just logical that we go together. 😉

          ooooooooooh Chips that emoticon scared the bejeezus out of me. I was scrolling down and it came out of nowwhere. Geez you must really really be nuts about Bobfr. 😆 Ok how about this. Since we both like the brilliant comments Bobfr makes, I can throw Theo67 into the mix. His comments like Bobfr’s induce a brain orgasm everytime. So how about you take Bobfr for a week, I take Theo, then we trade. It’s kinda like a custody arrangement. And young lady I see your 👿 and I raise you 👿 👿 👿 👿 Don’t mess with me.

                Oh Chipsticks you may pack a rocket launcher in your purse (intimidating by the way) but remember EVERYTHING is BIGGER in Texas. 😆 so you might not want to take a gander at my purse. Oh so no trades. I was trying to be generous but now it’s on. Both Bobfr and Theo67 are mine. Bobfr and Theo you guys better let Chips know I’m the apple of your collective eyes. 😆

              I am laughing so hard it is very difficult to type!!!!

              Chipsticks, utaustin, GGail, gc …. you are just so special and sooooo much fun!! 😀

              Full disclosure – intensely, insanely happily married to my dear wife for over 40 years 🙂

              But, delighted to have all of you as friends and ardent fellow supporters of our magnificent President Obama.

              Chipsticks … thank you for igniting yet another entry into the Urban Dictionary lexicon and I truly hope it sticks – these folk are totally not journalists.

              The Fourth Estate in this democracy has been comprehensively corrupted by the few who have the $$$ to buy whatever mouth they want to spew their agenda.

              Fortunately, we have TOD, TOAITR, P M Carpenter, ThinkProgress, TPV, …. and so many others striving to counter the Kock Brothers and all their ilk.

              We must deny them oxygen. We must be the Fourth Estate. We must prevail.

              And, we will.

Another induced brain orgasm. 😆 I’m so glad you share our sense of humor Bobfr and I’m happy that you are intensely, insanely happily married to your wife for over 40 years. May we single TOD women have the good fotune to find someone like you and President Obama who are still intensely head over heels for their spouses after decades.

                But psst Bobfr, we’ll just let Chips think you’re accepting her fake virtual marriage proposal but you really chose me. 😆

                  To say that I was a little bit surprised when I checked in after a lovely dinner party and discovered all of you having so much fun is an understatement 😀

                  Decided to enter “Newstainer” at Urban Dictionary – we’ll see what the editors decide 😉

                  Onward.

(Not making fun of you ladies, just maintaining my general observer status when ladies here start staking claims. I operate under the umbrella that I won’t have to ‘share’ (or fight off anyone) if I don’t voice my choices out loud. 😉 😉

                      Bob just emailed me. I shouldn’t really reveal what he said, but I think I have to:

                      “Chipsticks, my ravishing Goddess, I pine for your very being.

                      I humbly accept your proposal, you are a meteor who has come crashing in to my life, shining light on its darkest corners.

                      I’m a bit worried about that utaustinliberal woman, though, it seems like she is intent on breaking our love bond.

                      In many ways, she is like the Alaskan half-termer, she displays no commitment, just a lust for the next big thing: like me, Bob.

                      But Chipsticks, you curvy slice of eye-candy, I trust that you are very different from utaustinliberal, once you start a job you finish it.

                      And that’s how our love bond will be, there’ll be nothing half-term about it, it will be forever. Like Mitt Romney’s stupidity, it will never end.

                      Love you lots,

                      Bob.

                      ****

              Hahahahahahahahah Chipsticks I have it on authority from straight from the horse’s mouth that said email is a FAKE. This is the actual email:

              Hey utaustinliberal, my Rose, my Goddess, my Cleopatra, my Godiva, my M&M, my Twix, my Hershey’s white and milk chocolate. I know naught of this looney tunes person named Chipsticks who is trying to break our bond. I am you Gollum from the Lord of The Rings and you are The Precioussssssss. Life with you is always “WINNING!!!” and like Charlie Sheen I possess Tiger Blood when I am around you. I will chase death eaters from the realm of Harry Potter for you. I will chase the Triwizard cup from Muggle world to Hogwarts just for a glimpse of your colgate smile.

              When I am with you I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. See me running every night and day. Spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar, see me running through that open door; I believe I can fly; I can fly, I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!!!!!!!!! I envision us as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and Prejudice. Passionate but with a deep abiding love. I will write sonnets from you; devised from the brain of Shakespeare himself. Oh utaustinliberal, I’d better stop now before looney tunes Chipsticks flips out over my undying love for you. Hugs and Kisses your ever faithful Bobfr.

No more food for me because i would wind up like Bush on the floor after the pretzel. 😆 😆 😆 You guys are too funny but I like it. Poor Bob when he shows up again is he going to be shocked when we tell him he is engaged and to cough up the ring. :lol:.

      She should make the point that there is no way that Boehner will be able to get the fringes of his caucus to vote for anything that has to make it by the Senate Dems and President Obama, so House Dems will have to vote for it – so she should have a seat at the table.

      Also it will help for messaging purposes if she can say House Dems are fighting for this and that. Otherwise GOP can say “hell you weren’t even at the table”.

    why am I not surprised that Bill Maher and Reggie Brown got together and had a little fun?

    there’s a video attached, also. I didn’t watch so I don’t have any cautions to impart

      I watched the video and he just mocked the repubs. It’s offensive that he’s getting so much airplay. Sometimes Bill Maher can be good for the cause and sometimes he’s a douchebag. It’s always 50/50 with him. The video is safe to watch, offensive; but safe to watch. I didn’t laugh for a second b/c reggie brown is just a bad comedian. His jokes aren’t funny and seeing a black person willingly be led around by the nose is disgusting. I guess Bill Maher can pat himself on the back for thinking he’s cool and down with black people. The putz.

      isonprize, we’re smoking that good good Bobfr pipe of love. His writing just makes us go nuts and after he wrote that wonderful fake email to me, thereby inducing another brain orgasm, he gave me my engagement ring. So Chips has lost this battle. 🙂

    Hey Chipsticks! This appeared in my local paper yesterday (shocked the heck out of me….VERY conservative red part of PA ya know the “guns and religion” crowd:
    http://www.thederrick.com/news/2011-06-25/

    Read the story….these folks need a push to look at the Presdeint again. This is the way to thaw out these hard hearted folks that are scared, scared of EVERYTHING. They look at the Republicans and are scared, and sadly many are still mired in Jim Crowe racism. At any rate, it struck me that this is a way in: get them to look at the man. Since the media is focusing on this maybe we can continue to take advantage. (We manged to get 40% of the vote in 2008, unprecedented for a Dem….we can do better in 2012…need all the help we can get here)> Keep putting this stuff on youtube…we can tweet away or whatever.

      By the way, what struck me was the SIZE of the photo: front page,the size of the pic was a quarter of the page above the fold. Best local coverage since the inauguration.

        Thanks maggy519 for sharing, however, I was unable to read the full story without subscribing. Yes, it is good for a story to be place “above the fold”.

    This may be a little late, but I just found this today.

    How To Spark a Right-Wing Frenzy-Brian Merchant

    “All this from a quote plucked, free of context, from a grainy 60-second YouTube video. Which, I should mention, not a single reporter contacted me about, despite my eponymous profile handle. To my knowledge, the text of Gore’s speech isn’t yet available, and I haven’t been able to find any other public footage of it. Not even the mainstream media outlets sought the full context of the quote. Only a lone Media Matters researcher seeking to debunk the anti-Gore froth bothered to ask me about the background of the meme-generating clip.”

    http://www.slate.com/id/2297683?wpisrc=xs_wp_0001

    The parts that stood out for me was “….not a single reporter contacted me about, despite my eponymous profile handle.” and “Not even the mainstream media outlets sought the full context of the quote.”

    Can we shame them into working for their pays?

      There is an acquaintance of mine who is very much into far right religious circles and I can tell you there is no other subject right now that can get them as riled up as population control. These people think that having babies babies babies will save the white race/religious conservatives from minority status. Hope I’m not offending anyone but I’m telling you what he says quite openly. They are terrified at the shift in demographics. It’s impossible to talk to him about a population problem because he says there’s still plenty of room left! He quotes the bible about God telling people to have plenty of kids (can’t remember the exact quote but he sounds like a preacher when he says it). He’s able to talk and talk and talk on this subject and this person has become my guide to what the religious right is currently obsessed with. Bill Maher kind of touched on this subject on his last show, but he didn’t mention the one big elephant in the room (White Supremacy) that is driving this push by Christian Conservatives to have big families.

        If it’s what I think it is, it’s the “quiverfull movement” http://www.quiverfull.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull

        Psalm 127:5 Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

        But the thing is, they will increase the white population in this country by having many children, but their fear of science and progress will just create a population of uneducated and bigoted children, who will have a very hard time competing in the future years. They will achieve a population of people who will continue to vote Republican (if the party continues to exist), but will all be ignorant and unable to discern why they continue to cast their votes against their own interests, and why their bosses are being shipped in from other countries to manage them. It’s actually very sad.

      Karen Sr., I read the full article by Brian Merchant and his out of context quote from Al Gore and I have to say that this is an exercise in caution and should be a lesson learned by Mr. Merchant. It is on his shoulders that this fire storm began. If you don’t intend to start a forest fire, then don’t carry a lit match around. Mr. Merchant should have and I hope in the future will take several minutes to read before posting. This is a caution that we all must adhere to for words are a powerful vehicle. His mea culpa is a little too late. I hope he has learned his lesson about being quick on the draw. He gave some very tilted people a clown car to ride around in.
