I didn't think it was possible to make something lacking this much credibility. Unless of course it's a Poe, in which case, well done. But I don't think it is, scarily. DogP^{Marmite Patrol} 05:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not Poe as can be seen with the minute-ten seconds of silence at the end to reflect/pray/discuss before moving onto why MOAR guns is always a Good Thing.CЯacke® 16:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

In which case, "I didn't think it was possible to make something lacking this much credibility". Just fantastic. DogP^{Marmite Patrol} 04:51, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

They're probably already messing themselves over it. To them, it's undeniable proof he's a terrorist. To non-morons, it shows he's an open minded man. SJ ^Debaser 16:32, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, Sean Hannity is apparently saying Obama called the US a "Muslim nation", when what he said was "If you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world...So there has to be grounds for a better dialogue". Yeah, that's really calling the US a Muslim nation. The Right is truly lost. great video here. daily kos--En attendant Godot_{"«Nous naissons tous fous.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong, SuperJosh. Only the right wing fundamentalists can be open-minded because they believe the TRUTH. If you believe anything else, you're a close-minded liberal who should just DIE because you can't admit that you are wrong and if you'd just open your mind to the ONE TRUE CONSERVATIVE WAY you'd realize that. They don't teach you that in public school, do they? </sarcasm><brainasplode>The Foxhole Atheist 16:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Foxhole Atheist, you're right. Sean Hannity's right; Obama is trying to literally destroy America by making it a Muslim Nation. I'll change from now on. SJ ^Debaser 17:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Carry on, Far Right. All you're doing is making yourself utterly, totally unelectable. Hey Ken - send Hannity your Hitwin pictures, he can stick them up all over his studio. That'll help too. DogP^{Marmite Patrol} 00:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

My car gets four rods to the hogs head, and thats the way I like it

so for some reason I was watching Hannity interview Limbaugh. It was like watching two Grey African Parrots chirp at each other. No logic and total paranoia. Anyways Limbaugh was talking about Obama taking over the media and, if Obama took over health care and made it nationalised, that all of a sudden the government - the overwhelming liberals, they would be controling our entire lives and intrude and micro-manage our entire beings while dictating the amount of butter we put on our pop-corn, how much salt we used etc etc. It was a very bizarre interview and I believe Hannity messed his pants more than once. After watching this I wandered outside and had a smoke. I checked the mailbox while debriefing myself and found a letter in my name, funnily enough it was placed cunningly in the mailbox where I'd find it. It was from my nationalised heath care provider, the ACC (Accident Compensation Corp.) which says, to wit (as I am reading it now from the letter head).
Dear Mr. _________
Your Injury is covered by ACC
"We've received your ACC claim following your injury on 23 May 2009. We're sorry to hear of your injury and wish you well in your recovery. Because your injury is covered by ACC, we've already contibuted to the cost of your intial treatment.We did this by paying the health care professional who treated you..."
Nationalised Medicine is surely the devils spawn. Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 12:22, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

The UK gets lots of stuff advising people on how much salt and how much veg to have a day, but it's just advertising and awareness. I don't think it's as "contolling" as the wing-nuts think it is. And the adverts on units of alcohol are very good and actually useful as people don't know that a large glass of wine is that many. Besides, I think the wingnuts would only be happy if their rich selves go the best treatment while the poorer plebs were left with homeopathy, wishful thinking and hacksawing off hurt limbs Battle of Trafalgar style. ^moral 12:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I must say, Ace, your version of socialized medicine is way more personable than mine. Here in Canada, it's just all quietly covered behind the scenes (except for optical and dental, which sucks), no letters in the mail to let us know they've done it, best wishes and so forth. Kinda wish they would, it's a nice touch. --Kels 12:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

That is nice. Here in Australia they mail you the check and you have to take it around to the doctor yourself. I have no idea why they can't just mail it to the doctor. - π 12:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

According to Limbaugh, its the devils magic. But, nonetheless, I sit with a personalised letter, wishing me well, and stating further that -

"If you need further treatment we can often contribute towards the cost,"as long as the treatment is for the injury we approved to cover and not for unrelated medical conditions". Which I think is fair enough as I made a single claim and I hate fucks the scam the system and piss with my tax dollars. (emphasis mine this time) Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 13:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Please, God, don't let Michael Moore get involved in this. That would result in a 180--Nate River 13:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

(Regarding health awareness advertising) I think an interesting move is the menu labeling laws in NYC. All chains have to prominently display they caloric and fat content of all menu items. Now, you know when you get a Big Mac that it's full of lardass. But I think where it makes a difference is people getting a latte and a scone for breakfast. You don't really think of it as 600 calories and 15 grams of fat (numbers make up). Corry 14:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Like you Ace, I watched that interview. I don't really know why, but I did - I guess I wanted to hear what the extreme right thought of the Cairo speech or something. Anyway it made me feel ill. What with Hannity declaring the speech "outrageous", "anti-American", "a disgrace", and [dissing] "his own country" and "referred to America as a Muslim nation", that was bad enough. Then Lardass weighs (heavily) in saying "I think Obama is a scared man" and "he's paranoid and there's a lot of back-stabbing", "he can't stand up to the Muslims" and all that shit, i just started to feel really queasy and unwell and I hit the bottle in a mad depression caused by that and my Mum slipping into a probably terminal semi-conscious state. It's not a good time, and I just can't laugh at those utter scumbags. To think that the national discourse in this country has sunk to a level where liars and unsupportive disingenuous hypocritical dangerous motherfuckers like that are on the most popular cable news channel's PRIME-TIME slot really, really horrifies me. DogP^{Marmite Patrol} 18:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, when the Theocracy hits, I'll be setting up shelters in the UK for any American who just can't stand it anymore, you're welcome to come over and stay. :p ^moral 21:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Political victories CP can celebrate

CP's favourite UK political party, the fascist BNP, has picked up its first country council seat in the local elections in the North West of the country. Ahhh, Lancashire - Hotpot, curry, and racist scum. Luvvly. DogP^{Marmite Patrol} 21:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

"If you are in choppy waters you don't change the captain." In other words, anytime we do a rotten job you shouldn't vote for our opposition... ListenerX^TalkerX 21:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Most BNP voters I've spoken to feel suitably awkward once the party's neo-Nazi core is explained. Follow up with We fought a war against those cunts, a bit of Churchill fighting them on the beaches, and they get this wonderful "Oh, shi..." look in their eyes. Gives me hope for the future. --Robledo 22:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Fuck, fuckity, fuck the BNP. I don't think most modern BNP voters are quite aware of their racist roots in the National Front and such, and they fact that it was literally founded by a neo-Nazi. The ones that are aware of this are the 1970s era skinheads. SJ ^Debaser 11:58, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Just noticed

We can redirect to Wikipedia. And Conservapedia. -- 23:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Please don't. I've spent the last hour mostly fixing everything you fucked up today. Did I notice someone blocking the twerp and vandal bin its IP? Good move... ħuman 00:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Anyone who gives a crap, note that the resulting page does not, as intra-wiki redirects do, indicate where you were sent from, with an &redirect=no link in case you want to chase it down. So when young Arthur redirected that pointless taxobox template to WP's, I had manually type .....template:taxobox&action=edit, whine whine whine this after spending an hour repairing the squealing cheetah/Hot l Baltimore fiasco. ħuman 01:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Heh. CUR STILL pissing everybody off?!?! Nice to see some consistency in the world...TheoryOfPractice 08:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Sent in all of my boxtops...

To get MY free copies of The Atheist's Bible and You Can Lead an Atheist... from Ray Comfort via the Atheist Central website.

I figure I could give JeevesMkII some help, so he gets done BEFORE Armageddon.

And I need shims for my kids' goldfish tank. The Foxhole Atheist 03:17, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I intend to help, by "reading" my copy, too. If I can stomach to open them again. Seriously, Ray gives Ken a run for his money. ħuman 03:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I swear, if I was a superhero in need of archnemeses, those two asshats would be it. Every time I see Comfort's 'stache and Kenny H's smug-as-shit mug shot, I think to myself, "Self, those two jeebus-whoring jerkwads could use a skullshattering ultrasonic uppercut or two." Oh, to HAVE the great power to use WITHOUT the great responsibility.

Yeah, I'm talking to you, Peter Parker... You're next! The Foxhole Atheist 03:32, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the "Ken" I meant was Ken at CP, not Ham. Ray's book is atrociously written and uses weird quotations to open chapters. ħuman 20:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

It does at least have the blessing of being short. I read it in the bath the day I got it before starting work. Took me perhaps an hour. --JeevesMkII ^{The gentleman's gentleman at the other site} 21:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The squealing cheetah

Ah ha, I have discovered the answer to the question of what you get the irritating kiddywink who just won't go away who has everything. Probably NSFW. --JeevesMkII ^{The gentleman's gentleman at the other site} 00:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

*cringe* ~Ttony21^{(talk, contribs)} 00:16, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

That looks like it has an infection of some sort. Also, I "improved" your header. ħuman 01:08, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I preferred the old one--Nate River 01:34, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to change it back. I actually "thought it up" as a new name for the twerp's "restaurant" on my way out here, just happened to think it also fit the, um, "topic". ħuman 01:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Worth a rebuttal

Ken has posted this on CP. Is it worth doing? It is very repetitive, but could be good seeing as this was their best 101 arguments. - π 08:08, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

This should definitely be rebutted. I'll start on a skeleton for a side-by-side. Harmonic harmonic Phantom! 08:40, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
