This clown, Devin Nunes, has been on CSPAN for the last hundred hours basically doing this. It’s funny until actual people call in, like this one Republican guy who admitted in a sort of embarrassed way how government health care saved his life, because he’s a veteran and got VA care when no insurance company would cover him, and Nunes said something like, “Well VA hospitals are notoriously inefficient, which is why health care reform is totalitarianism.” What?

Darrell Fucking Issa.
Sucks to be the minority party, doesn’t it?
Also. Nunes. Sounds mexican.
i will consider this bill payback for iraq. they can eat it.
I always thought that hate speech like the kind hurled by angry mobs was what dictators used to whip people up into a frenzied love of totalitarian regimes. My bad!
There will never be enough Children’s Treasuries in the world to properly capture all the assholery happening right now.
Twenty thousand people protesting? they also have every right to act “crazy?” “slaughterhouse rules”?
Only commie socialists save lives. Better dead than red!
i saw the bit when the veteran called. he was a republican, but he switched when he got excellent health care during the clinton administration. seeing the look on this asswad’s face as he tried to formulate a response to the caller was tragicomedy. nunes’ mouth went into a sad rictus, much like a puckered asshole, which is also an apt description of devin nunes. the circle of life continues.
Nancy, please oh PLEASE, can I borrow your gavel for a couple of minutes???
You know, this fellow should meet some of my Stalinist “acquaintances” on the Far-Left if he wants to know what people with truly “totalitarian minds” would like to do if they had the power
I didn’t say Maoists because the ones I know are generally a more self-aware and self critical lot.
This leaves aside,of course,the question of whether totalitarian is anything more in reality but a polemical tag but whatever, that just me being the intellectual BS spewer.
“Despicable Rep. Devin Nunes…” Well, they got something right.
Devin Nunes = asshole: round, red, and stained about the edges.
So he’s saying that extremism in the defense of a**hattery is no vice?
His district is High Desert country, in keeping with his mental topography.
My favorite part was when he said that there are no actual Catholics but only leftist front groups who support health care reform. He proceeds to say then that these groups can be found all across America, and that “we” have to fight to keep these groups from controlling the government.
[re=535282]Marxist-Leninist Papist[/re]:
They both have a crappy track reecord if you count the Chinese starving themselves to death and the Cultural Revolution.
That’s why Capitalism is bestest thing evah!If Devin Nunes middle name starts with an “L” we can make all kind of great anagrams out of it.
[re=535288]doxastic[/re]: Throwing all those nuns under the bus once again.
They didn’t say nigger they were saying Loooooooooou!!!
“Well VA hospitals are notoriously inefficient”: well, yeah they are, when ya (Republican administrations, Republican administrations) put assclowns in charge of the VA.
And you gotta hand it to the C-span moderator who doesn’t die from the weapons-grade stupid sitting next to him.
Stupak is to make an announcement at the top of the hour.
Watching C-Span still, and they keep cutting away to the 500,000,000,000,000 PEOPLE!!!! at the Teabag rally.
Some mouthbreather keeps blowing a whistle, very loudly. At first, I thought maybe the referees had finally stepped in to call a foul on teh stoopidz, but then I noticed the whistle was being blown in time with the Teabag chant “Kill the bill! Kill the bill!”
Never has it been more clear that those without knowledge and without critical thinking skills are pretty good at making up for it with shrill, loud, angry noises.
Hmm. Seems our patriot is into water sports. Another video on the loop is called, “DOI Water Forum,” starring one Mr. Nunes.
Golden Showers fill my eyes
Smiles await you when I rise
Pee little darling don’t you cry
And I will vote no, not ay-eeee
Sorry.
[re=535300]HedonismBot[/re]: Also, confused grunts and winkin’ you-betchas. Also.
[re=535293]Oblios Cap[/re]: Oh, certainly Stalinism and Maoism are disgraceful fuck-ups for the Socialist tradition. I am just speaking that, of the people I personally know, the Maoists are generally a higher quality of mind then their Stalinist counterparts; more internationalist and open to dialogue. Most Stalinists, at this point, are just ignorant Russian supremacist nationalists with a little pink flavoring to hide the taste.
Devin Nunes, boo-fucking-hoo.
I couldn’t tell if that was a cop with a whistle outside or a teabagger with a rape whistle, but either way it annoyed the shit out of me.
Just wait until Mr. Hispanic White Repuiblican gets to argue against immigration reform.
“oh, I am in favor of opportunity for ALL Hispanic Americans….as long as they’re white Hispanic Americans like me.”
“faggot”, “nigger”… All the teabaggers need to do now is to yell “go back to kitchen” at a congresswoman and they will have become 4chan /b/. Except without the actual humor value.
[re=535293]Oblios Cap[/re]: Devin Nunes = Veined Nuns
For some reason, this reminds me of the episode of South Park where Jimmy beats up his girlfriend when she threatens to leave him. As he’s beating her with his leg braces he says “why do you make me do this, bitch? Huh?”
Why do we make these teabaggers shout racist and homophobic epithets, and spit on people, huh? Why you make me do this, bitch!
[cue Barber: Adagio For Strings]
[re=535293]Oblios Cap[/re]: Devin L Nunes = End Evil Nuns
[re=535303]Marxist-Leninist Papist[/re]: Isn’t the official Maoist line that Stalin was 70% good and 30% evil?
If anyone wants to see some more hilarious video, check out the David Plouffe-Karl Rove debate on “This Week” this morning:
http://www.salon.com/news/healthcare_reform/index.html?story=/politics/war_room/2010/03/21/healthcare_debate
I’ve never seen Hot Karl so worked up. He keeps complaining about how Hopey shut the Republicans completely out of the HCR debate. Then right at the end he tries to paint Hopey as some sort of unscrupulous flip-flopper because there are things in this bill that he was against when he ran against McCain in ’08. In other words, Republican-approved ideas! Also his freak-out at the end when Plouffe snarks about the Mission Accomplished banner. I thought Rove’s head would explode. Sadly, it remained intact.
Barny Frank is a fag. So am I. Wait…..what? Where is that waitress?
[re=535293]Oblios Cap[/re] [re=535288]doxastic[/re]: The anagram for “Devin Nunes” is “Envied Nuns.”
If that rally yesterday had 20,000 people at it, my cock is four feet long.
From the series of videos that our esteemed editor, Mr. Layne, has posted, I am making an assumption that he utterly disdains racist dickwads. In fact, racist homophobes seem to make Mr. Layne crazy pissed off.
Hey! Young Russert that referred to Stupak developing his 15 minutes into 7 months. Snaps, Young Russert.
The only thing I have left to say about the racist shit, is that I went to examine some of the comments on a blog elsewhere about this incident. And every time someone wrote “despicable”, it was spelled “de****able”. I laughed, oh how I laughed.
[re=535318]DustBowlBlues[/re]: 7 months should be about how long it takes 59,000 nuns to bitch slap him with their rulers.
Devin Nunes???? What kind of limp wristed, French name is that anyway?
[re=535312]doloras[/re]: To be technical, if my memory serves me correctly, thats the current Chinese Communist Party line about Mao. Mao, after awhile in power, rejected Stalin’s legacy as having destroyed the revolution in the USSR and turned Russia into a bureaucratically degraded imperialism, just as predatory as US capitalist imperialism.
I am a Post-Trotskyist, so all these niceties of the Sino-Soviet split leaves an icky taste in my mouth and my brain.
Newsflash–Bart Stupak about to speak. Be still my beating heart.
Oh, and just so I’m clear, the Democrats are using totalitarian tactics called “voting” and “majority rule,” right? Got it.
I love the sound of Republicans whining. Slaughter House Rules? Awesome.
Twitter informs us: Stupak says YES.
[re=535324]Lucidamente[/re]: Stupak and the Stupekettes are on board– it’s over and HCR is a done deal. For now.
I guess I can actually go outside and leave the computer and enjoy things for a few hours before I start heavily drinking around the time of the final voting.
While watching this guy Nunes this morning on WJ I could not believe how he kept saying everything about government is bad. My question that did not get asked was what the hell is he doing as a representative and will he give up his government run health coverage if government is soooo bad?
[re=535323]Marxist-Leninist Papist[/re]: Check out Perry Anderson’s take on the fallout of the Sino-Soviet thing in Europe (specifically for Althusser who’d had enough with Moscow) in _Debates in English Marxism_. Good stuff.
Sorry, there’s more geeky material…
bart is back on the reservation.
[re=535324]Lucidamente[/re]: C-Span is so full of the crazy that I can’t take anymore. Ladies and Gentlemen – these are your leaders.
[re=535328]doloras[/re]: and I say… Fine, good, vote for the thing and FUCK YOU VERY MUCH STUPAK.
[re=535323]Marxist-Leninist Papist[/re]: I suppose you could call me a post-Trot too. I like what Hugo Chávez and the German Left party are up to, but I’ve lost all patience with the petty backstabbing and big-fish-small-pond syndrome which affects the “revolutionary left” in all Western countries. Case in point – the US International Socialists lining up with the teabaggers against this bill.
[re=535323]Marxist-Leninist Papist[/re]: Time for a Sixth International, I’d say.
[re=535331]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Part of the problem is that English-speaking Marxists have never taken Maoism seriously. Considering that Maoism is the dominant form of revolutionary politics in East Asia (Nepal, Phillipines, etc), this is an increasing problem in a globalised world.
Which gives me a way to get back to the snark – people who call Barry Obama, the extremely cautious centrist, a socialist/Marxist should never meet me. They wouldn’t have any words left in their vocabulary to describe someone who actually wants an end to capitalism, and their heads woul totally explode.
[re=535331]ForTheTurnstiles[/re]: Geeky Marxist stuff Always appreciated. I can always learn more about Althusser and his followers, if only because his school represent the polar opposite of my more “naturally” Gadamerian mode of thought (Hell, all of Marxism is shock to that deeply rooted disposition).
Do you read much Badiou, by the way ?
[re=535345]doloras[/re]: Speaking of “Maoists,” did you see Jon Stewart’s take out of Glenn Beck the other day? When he got to the Maoism, I almost wet myself (ok, I did wet myself).
The Democrats are getting what they deserve for using totalitarian tactics like discussing the issue for over 70 years, introducing bills into congress, holding hearing after hearing on those bills, debating those bills for years, and in this case for nearly 15 months, and then passing those bills out of congress and having them signed by the president. All to reform insurance and to provide health care to the poor.
It’s the Final Solution all over!
[re=535345]doloras[/re]: If you want to see a Western intellectual take Maoism seriously (but in a critical way), up to and including the Cultural Revolution, Alain Badiou is your man.
Fucking HELL, will they just VOTE for the FUCKING THING already?! I’m not real good at waiting.
Just at there are no atheists in a foxhole (or so the saying goes), there are no opponents of health care reform in a cancer ward.
[re=535316]memzilla[/re]: Oh, WIN! (Also, “Nuns end vie.”)
Thing is, all 59,000 of my new favorite people are so merciful, they’re most certainly praying for this kidney-stones-for-brains and his fevered bigot fans. Not sure that’s enough to get him into heaven, but it can’t hurt him any more than he’s already hurt himself.
Oh, Sisters, you know I never meant any of those things I etched into my desk with 19-cent Bic pens. But even if I did, I take it all back now. You are the salvation of this country, because even Bart Stoopak fears your mighty chalk clouds of wrath. GO NUNS!
I actually ended up emailing CSPAN because of this fool. For a second there watching him I thought I was watching Fixed News.
Really??? So if someone called him…ahhh…spic or wetback or bean eater because they didn’t like his political beliefs…he’d understand. Gotcha! Viva La Raza!
[re=535370]MzNicky[/re]: Good fucking god, did they all write the same fucking thing on their hands? Sound like a bunch of fucking parrots. I hate these people with the heat of a thousand sunlamps.
[re=535432]Jim89048[/re]: Me too. Fuck these fuckers!
[re=535293]Oblios Cap[/re]: Anagrams, shmanagrams. It’s close enough to Devil Nuns.
When did Vitter become a Rep. in CA?
I swear to Allah y La Virgin De Guadalupe and by the power vested in me also La Raza, Texas will go blue in 2010 and 2012. Thanks bagtards! You racist fucking fuckers are a fucking inspir-fucking-ation!
devin nunes sounds like an alien world in a sci fi novel.
captain, we have an urgent transmission from devin nunes!! the Patriot Core is under attack from The Tyranny Flock!!! All patriots strongly urged to don ill-fitting flag-y shirts!
[re=535288]doxastic[/re]: The Sisters of Charity and the Poor Clares have been well known left-wing front organization since the days of the Comintern.
Despicable is on-point. Those slurs are not a question of politics, the refrain from using them is a condition of basic humanity, but meant to imbibe power at a perceived low point in “character.” Despicable
So a rally of racist white-trash teabaggers is very important and should be listened to. a far bigger (and much more peaceful) rally of anti-war hippies is just brushed off as, well, smelly hippies with no jobs.
We lost the election! The winners are passing legislation we don’t like! DEATH PANELS! SOCIALISM! FASCISM!
And when that doesn’t work….
NI**ER! F*G!
And when that doesn’t work?
My prediction is that in six months they’ll tell us that the health bill didn’t really have any effect at all. A complete waste of time and money.
[re=535269]tbogg[/re]: He probably pronounces it as “Noons”. Ever notice how Republicans are this assembly line output of the same haircut, suits and same child molesting bent? Creepy fuckers
