Nutter Watch: Sean Penn – President Bush May Bring Fascism to America
NewsBusters: Sean Penn: Bush Caused ‘Enormous Damage to Mankind,’ May Bring Fascism to U.S.
Actor Sean Penn, in a taped Larry King Live interview aired Thursday night on CNN to promote his new movie, All the King’s Men, in which he plays a Huey Long-like character, suggested President Bush may bring fascism to America, charged that Bush has “devastated our democracy,†insisted Donald Rumsfeld and Bush have done “enormous damage†to “this country and mankind†and claimed the war on terrorism is meant to distract from reality.
Watch the Video here.
King: “But when the President says we should support emerging democracies, because democracy’s better for the world, is that — isn’t he right?â€
Penn: “I think he’s devastated our democracy. I think you have to start with our democracy. He’s made us divided. I have a lot of very good friends who are Republicans, who are right-wing Republicans. And when you are with people and you talk to people as people, and not as Republicans and Democrats, you find that’s why his numbers are down. Because people have common sense. They’re going to vote, you know, in a few months, and they’re going to say, well, are we going to be suckers again? Are we going to be suckers to partisan policy and politics and all of that stuff?
“By the way, no Democrat that doesn’t have a plan to get our troops out of Iraq should be voted for. Not one of them. You know, there’s got to be some courage expressed, and that’s what I’m worried about is that we’re not going to have good choices.â€
And we want to trust THIS MORON on foreign affairs and American politics?
But, Flap agrees with Penn on his last statement. Flap will not vote for any Democrat who does not have a plan to get America out of Iraq.
The Democrats do not have a plan and Flap WON’T.

Canada Watch: Lakehead University Mocks President Bush
Reuters: Canadian school knocked for mocking Yale grad Bush
Posters and a Web site mocking President Bush have put the spotlight on a small Ontario university that thought a bold and edgy recruiting campaign was just the ticket to attract potential students.
The Web site, http://www.yaleshmale.com, has a black and white picture of Bush, with the caption: “Graduating from an Ivy League university doesn’t necessarily mean you’re smart.”
Bush graduated from Yale in 1968.
A link takes viewers to a site for Lakehead University, in rugged Thunder Bay, Ontario, some 1,375 km (850 miles) northwest of Toronto.
“It was literally a tongue-in-cheek way of getting attention,” Frederick Gilbert, president and vice-chancellor of Lakehead University, said on Monday.
“The young people picked it up that way,” he added. “I must say that older generations, well even some of our students, have looked at it as not appropriate.”
Marketing Bush Derangement Syndrome, eh?
Lakehead University seems substantial enough without the denigration of another school or individual.
How do you spell NO CLASS?

Dixie Chick Watch: Red States Disapprove With Their Feet
The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Seidel arrive at a dinner Monday, May 8, 2006 in New York. The North American leg of their ‘Accidents and Accusations’ tour kicked off July 21 in Detroit. Billboard magazine and other trade publications have reported lackluster ticket sales in some markets, particularly in the South and Midwest.
AP: Dixie Chicks Cancel 14 Shows on Tour
Several concerts on the Dixie Chicks'”Accidents & Accusations” tour have been canceled after slow ticket sales, but the group says it has replaced them with other dates.
Kansas City, Houston, St. Louis, Memphis and Knoxville are among 14 cities no longer on the original schedule released in May, according to a revised itinerary posted Thursday on the Dixie Chick’s Web site.
Other shows, including Nashville, Los Angeles, Denver and Phoenix, have been pushed back to later dates.
The North American leg of the tour kicked off July 21 in Detroit. Billboard magazine and other trade publications have reported lackluster sales in some markets, particularly in the South and Midwest.
Natalie’s big mouth has cost the Dixie Chicks their Midwest/South fan base and some real money in the process.
Is Maine’s ready to make nice?
Doubtful….

Glenn Greenwald Watch: The Sock Puppet Story Part 2
Patterico: Annotated WuzzaDem: The Facts Behind the Greenwald Sock-Puppetry
This post sets out the evidence suggesting that Glenn Greenwald has engaged in sock-puppetry. With the permission of John from WuzzaDem, I will be relying heavily on the WuzzaDem sock puppets. Consider it an annotated version of John’s recent Insta-linked post.
Why this post? Because it ties it all together in a way that I haven’t seen before. And it’s another chance to see the WuzzaDem puppets again.
Keep in mind that sock-puppetry is, as Instapundit says, a “venial sin†(as opposed to a mortal sin). Yes, there is an element of dishonesty to it. But really, it’s mostly goofy and laughable — which is why the puppets are on hand to help me make the point.
And, so, why is this exercise in exposing Glenn Greenwald as a dishonest lefty douche bag and sock puppet important?
Just as with Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times – it is about HONESTY.
The traffic figures, the notariety and even the revenue from writing books makes NO difference if you cannot be EVEN HONEST to yourself.
Prancing around the internet, posing as others – the sock puppets – to inflate your OWN narcissistic reputation and self-worth shows to the world the weakness of your character and the shortage of genuineness of your arguments. Most folks and not of Flap’s generation would say this Greenwald fellow needs to “GET A LIFE!”
This life and lie stuff is without a doubt…..

Cindy Sheehan Watch:President Bush’s Vienna Arrival Met by Cindy Sheehan
U.S. anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan gestures during a demonstration against the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush to Vienna June 21, 2006. Bush is in Vienna to attend an annual U.S. – European Union summit.
Austria Police outnumber protesters by about three-to-one in Vienna, Austria, where President Bush’s arrival was met by anti-war demonstrators including American Cindy Sheehan. On the agenda for the European Union summit are oil dependency and aid for Palestinians.

Head of the Austrian Socialists Alfred Gusenbauer, right, listens to U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, during a press briefing after her arrival at Vienna’s Schwechat airport, Monday, June 19, 2006. Sheehan will join a demonstration against the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday in Vienna.
The notion that President Bush is a terrorist is over the top and UNHINGED. Obviously sponsored by old European Socialists/Leftists/Communists (Flap thought Communism was a failed system) Sheehan is nothing more than a “turd in the punchbowl” MORON. And how much credibility does Sheehan have?
NONE
Doesn’t this woman ever work at a REAL JOB?

Dixie Chick Watch: Natalie Maines – “I Don’t See Why People Care About Patriotism.”
Dixie Chicks, from left, Emily Robison, Natalie Maines and Martie Maguire, perform on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ summer concert series in Bryant Park on May 26, 2006 in New York. While the Dixie Chicks’ record sales are soaring, tickets for their Accidents and Accusations Tour are failing to take flight in some cities. ‘I think before it’s said and done the entire tour will be, at the very least, reorganized,’ Ray Waddell, senior editor of touring for Billboard magazine, said Friday, June 9, 2006.
Telegraph.Co.UK: How the Chicks survived their scrap with Bush
When Maines made her comment on March 10 2003, 10 days before Operation Iraqi Freedom unleashed “shock and awe” over Baghdad, the Dixie Chicks were probably the biggest act in country music. Yet within days, their music vanished from the charts and the airwaves, apoplectic rednecks crushed piles of their CDs with tractors, and the FBI was feverishly monitoring death threats against the trio. It was the most heinous pop-star outrage since Ozzy Osbourne urinated on the Alamo.
“The reaction was as if Natalie had said ‘Death to the President’ or something,” says violinist and vocalist Maguire.
“It was the bullying and the scare factor,” shudders banjo and guitar player Robison. “It was like the McCarthy days, and it was almost like the country was unrecognisable.”
The level of debate can be gauged from the way Maines was compared to “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, who was photographed manning a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun at the height of the Vietnam war.
The Chicks can’t hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. “A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do,” says Robison.
“A lot of pandering started going on, and you’d see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism.”
“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism,” Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. “Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don’t see why people care about patriotism.”
Well, cancel a few more American show dates.
Sony Music must be seriously evaluating the commercial viability of the Dixie chicks. Natalie Maines is simply a MORON who cannot keep her YAP shut.
She can sing but if she continues to “PISS” people off by questioning their love of their country and patriotism…..Say good Night Gracie on your career…….
And this certainly won’t help their air play or sales in Memphis or other Red State locations where they have cancelled concerts.
This just in from radio station 94.1 the Buzz: a press release stating that the station removed Dixie Chicks songs “NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR CONTROVERSIAL STANCE TOWARD THE PRESIDENT†(emphasis theirs). Rather, the girls got dumped because they removed the Memphis date on tour, even though they added more dates in Canada.
Michelle Malkin has DIXIE CHICKS QUESTION YOUR PATRIOTISM
Here are country singers who aren’t sickened by their country.
Support “ultra-patriotism” through Project Prayer Flag.
The Dixie Chicks arrive at a pre-Grammy party in Beverly Hills, February 7, 2006. The country music trio, still taking heat for criticizing President Bush, are weathering sluggish ticket sales in several cities for their upcoming U.S. tour, industry watchers reported on Thursday.
