Dr. Jesus Gun Dixie TeaBagger: The World's Worst Doctor

Doctor refuses to treat patients if they were an Obama supporter...and I bet TeaBaggers/Republicans/rightwing media are happy about this or silent about it. OR...they'll say, "It's not right...BUT...", like with the violence against Democrats. He's from...WAIT FOR IT...YA READY??? THE SOUTH!!!!!! YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida urologist Jack Cassell posted a sign on his office door reading, "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years." His lame defense to get out of it: "I'm not turning anyone away. But if they read the sign and turn away, so be it."

Doctor Jack Cassell Refuses To Treat Obama Supporters

Keep in mind as you watch this, he REALLY said as his defense: "I'm not turning anyone away. But if they read the sign and turn away, so be it." His sign said: "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years."



Doctor turns away Obama supporter: Congressman Grayson exposed a doctor in Mount Dora, Florida, who told supporters of President Obama to seek care elsewhere.



George Carlin said that somewhere in the world is the "world's worst doctor"...and someone has an appointment with him!!!





I miss the NEPA bloggers' get-together...so they have a record crowd and get in all the papers...FINE!!! (We had our fantasy baseball draft the same day, that's more important!!!). It's an evil plot, I TELLZ YA!!! GORT scheduled this on my draft day on purpose...I TELLZ YA!!! Actually, I wish to remain a mystery. Oh, who am I FOOLIN'!!! I had a baseball draft!!! I've been in the league 18 years and I schmeeriously can't miss it!!

PITTSTON - Political bloggers and candidates for various elected offices: strange bedfellows?

Not necessarily. The number of both at Friday's meetup in Rooney's Irish Pub was an indication that local blogs are becoming important players in the political arena.

Wilkes-Barre Citizen's Voice: Candidates meet the faces behind the screen names

Special Commentary by Big Dan: "Blogs are the 'peoples' media'. You don't need any (or a lot of) money, you can write whatever you want and whenever you want, and blogs are just the same people around NEPA as everyone else, no more, no less. You don't have to send a letter to the paper and hope they print it, or print it and don't edit it. You don't have to call a radio station and wait on hold and have the host cut you off or redirect what you're talking about. It's like Rock 'n Roll - it's here to stay. And we weren't "waiting around" to get any recognition from the old media. But that's nice anyway. If I were to describe my blog, the main thing would be that I love to post under reported or ZERO reported TRUE news that isn't being covered by the corporate owned media they want us to think is liberal, expert opinion, and some humor and music...and my OWN opinions on things. And I love when people comment on my blog, even if I don't agree with them. And I love to read comments on other blogs. It's participatory media of the people. It's TWO WAY participatory communication, not one way like TV (or for all intents and purposes radio and newspapers) where you really don't get to participate. What is it that TV, newspaper, and radio first feared about blogs and the internet? I believe it was that everyone's voices could be heard bypassing their filters. Can you think of any reason TV, newspapers, and radio aren't reporting this story I'm reporting on yesterday and today - of the gold and silver markets in London being rigged by JP Morgan Chase? Any reason at all??? Not important enough??? If I worked for a newspaper, they probably wouldn't let me print it. I don't hear ONE radio talk show host talking about it. And I don't see it on TV."



Special Guest Commentary by plunger: "Speaking of Federal Reserve cover-ups, we also learned this week that the New York Fed Bank has been ‘warehousing’ toxic assets by the larger investment banks, allowing them to post numbers that look better than they ought to be. They’ve been doing this since at least 2003, when Timothy Geithner was named head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. “Turbo-Tax-Tim” is now Obama’s Treasury Secretary. How wonderful it is when the central bank that Congress grants oversight of the banking and monetary system to is owned by private banks. Sort of akin to somebody on a diet putting a padlock on their fridge and then keeping the key handy. More news emerged this week on market manipulation as well! The U.S. Justice Department is targeting two major investments firms, J.P. Morgan-Chase and UBS, for rigging the Muni-Fund market. Likewise, JPM-Chase has also been implicated in a scheme to rig the silver market (bd: see yesterday's post). A London broker, Andrew Maguire, who blew the whistle in November of 2009, told the CFTC how JP Morgan-Chase was heavy in shorting silver thanks to their acquisition of Bear Sterns. They, as well as HSBC, were also named by Maguire as manipulating the gold market. Speaking of gold…More news broke this past week about Gordon Brown’s ‘gold bottom’. In 1999, as Tony Blair’s chancellor, Brown dumped half of the UK’s sovereign gold reserves, a mere 395 TONS, on the market at discounted prices in an effort to keep gold prices down. Most was sold at prices ranging from $256 to $296 per ounce. Tony Blair, who now oddly enough works for JP Morgan-Chase (bd: Hmmmmmmm.....you mean the same way Hank Paulson of Goldman-Sachs was Bush's Treasury Secretary and Tim Geithner of Goldman-Sachs is Obama's Treasury Secretary???), went along with Brown’s decision, despite warnings by the Bank of England. Oh, but Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPM-Chase, asked that folks stop picking on them. Yes, it’s been another terrific week of rigged markets, phony optimism and high-level corruption. Google: "JP Morgan + fraud"......They are under legal assault from all quarters – and this posting remains prominently featured.......THERE IS NO MARKET!!!"

David Swanson: When my friend Jodie Evans recently tried to make a citizen’s arrest of Karl Rove, he declared the Downing Street Minutes to be "a complete fabrication." Of course, this "complete fabrication" was actually the minutes of an official meeting held by then British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Blair and Bush were asked about the document at a White House press conference in June 2005 and did not deny its authenticity. But that document is one of the lesser pieces of evidence that we were lied into the Iraq War. I have laid out the overwhelming case in my book, "Daybreak."

  1. dan,thought u should see this,it is from a story @ rawstory...Speaking over noise from Market Street traffic and a Republican heckler at a news conference outside the federal courthouse, Lentz shared more evidence of possible fraud on Meehan's petitions:

    Voters' names misspelled or signed two or three times; hundreds of signatures purportedly gathered by one person on one day; a circulator with variations of his own last name.

    Lentz, who has gone into attack mode seven months before the November election, said the findings create an "impression of people sitting down and just copying names off the voter roll."

    "I found it shocking and upsetting that [I'm] just an average person, and someone came along and stole my identity," said Pam MacDonald, of Upper Darby, who said her forged signature was among the 3,627 names Meehan submitted to get on the ballot.

    Lentz said the evidence his campaign has gathered - including through the use of private investigators - is "just the tip of what is a very expansive case of not just forgery, but false swearing, deception and other acts of fraud."

    Many of the confirmed forgeries can be traced to Paul Summers, a local Republican operative close to Upper Darby GOP Chairman John McNichol.

    Summers claims to have gathered 643 signatures over a two-day period leading up to the filing deadline last month.

    "You might wonder how one person could do that, and the answer is, there appears to be more than one Paul Summers, and they all live at the same address," Lentz said, pointing to petitions that show Summers' last name spelled three ways on the circulator line....and further down the article....As recently as six years ago, the Delaware County GOP wielded a lot of power on the national level, mostly because their machine was famous for delivering enough votes in the most heavily-populated suburban county to balance the high Democratic turnout in the city. They've been losing their clout, though - since the county demographics have trended younger and more liberal, the Democrats have been winning the presidential races in Delco, and of course Sestak won Weldon's seat. Still, thanks to their famously all-pervasive patronage machine, the GOP still delivers like clockwork on the state races,///////delivering enough repub votes to balance the cities votes in a state with no paper at all...delivers like clockwork in state races my rear end!!!!

  2. Karen:

    Petition fraud could give Meehan a bad name

    It began last month with one forged signature.

    Terry Bradley, the wife of an Upper Darby Democratic campaign strategist, said she didn't sign former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan's nominating petition to run as the Republican candidate in Delaware County's 7th Congressional District.

    And she's not the only one.

    A deeper look at Meehan's petitions reveals what appears to be a pattern of potentially fraudulent activity that could result in criminal charges.

    Last month, after Meehan's neighbors in Drexel Hill told him someone had forged their names on his petitions, he gave county District Attorney G. Michael Green a stack of questionable petitions purportedly circulated by Upper Darby GOP activist Paul Summers.

    State Rep. Bryan Lentz, the likely Democratic nominee in the congressional race, is trying to get Meehan kicked off the ballot, claiming that thousands of Meehan's signatures are defective.

  16. Blogs are only useful if they inspire people to stop diddling and perform. Little evidence of that so far, unless you count the crap coming out of groupthink, which is NO improvement.

  17. Blogs. Hmmm.
    I think as long as people get viable, and especially new info out of them then they are worth the time and effort. I personally do not get to many comments on my blog. I do not care. I do see that people are leaving my blog and reading the full articles from the links that I provide. that to me is worth the time and effort.
    These fucking shadow snakes in the swamps must be exposed.
    The internet will have a small role in bringing peace to the M/E. and a Paletinian State. It might even have a role in stopping the endless wars without borders. [well maybe not] LOL>
