Teabagger’s DMCA Takedown of Marvel Comics

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

over the use of a slogan:

Quesada then went on to say that Marvel would “apologize for and own up to” a series of “stupid mistakes” that led to them “accidentally identifying” one of the members of the protest group “as being a part of the Tea Party instead of a generic protest group.” He explained that they were on deadline to get the issue to the printer for publication, and in the course of sending it off it was noticed that the signs in the scene contained no words or phrases. He said the editor then asked the letterer to “fudge in some quick signs” and that in the “rush to get the book out of the door,” the letterer “looked on the net and started pulling slogans” from signs captured in photographs at Tea Party protests in order to make them appear “believable.”

via Marvel Comics’ depiction of anti-tax protesters inspires anger, apology – Yahoo! News.

And, so, they issued a DMCA takedown notice by whining about  a fucking comic book using their own words. and it stung.

They had their itty-bitty corporate owned feelings hurt by FREAKING COMIC BOOK. They are sad that Cap ain’t “wit’ ’em”, but “agin ’em”

In response to Marvel’s explanation and apology, Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips told Yahoo! News that it “sounds less like a genuine ‘we’re sorry’ than it does a ‘we’re sorry we got caught’ statement.””When I was a child in the ’60s Captain America was my favorite superhero,” he said. “It’s really sad to see what has traditionally been a pro-America figure being used to advance a political agenda.”

See in Teabagger ZombieWorld, Capt. America would be fighting Obama and his insidious Muslin Agenda while converting all the unbaptized sinners and curing teh gay, while nuking Iran and North Korea into the Fiery Garbage Dump of Hell.

Dear Teabaggers, Americans turned to coffee as a protest against the British MONOPOLY  on the importation of tea.  Like today’s Corporations, the  East India Company, was able to cut out the middleman, the AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESSMAN, and import the tea directly to the Colonies. But, hey, you volks don’t care about American Small Business. You HATE Main St.

Orly Taitz… KGB disinfo agent, or just plain nutz?

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

you be the judge.

Now, it seems, that Agent Taitz,has uncovered a plethora of  Social Security numbers under the name of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

“I KNOW!! INCROYABLE! what? “

Not according to that bastion of fact checking, freerepublic.com has eaten this up like lambs being fattened for slaughter with an claim, that Obama has 39 SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS!!!!!!!!! *ROLLS EYES*

Now, there is growing intrigue surrounding this dual citizen, such as rumors that she may be KGB, and, that she left for Israel two days after submitting the forged “Kenyan Birth Certificate to a US Federal Court.

“NO! SHE WOULDN’T…. WOULD SHE?”

I can’t link to her site, without a “MALWARE WARNING from GOOGLE…. YOU DECIDE if google is right.

“It is unfortunate that collateral damage happens, but it is necessary to exterminate terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah,” Laguna Niguel resident Orly Taitz, 45, said.

Quote source

She, like other on the extreme “right” of things has a problem with Obama’s name. She’s an Israeli eliminationist, an emigrant to the US from Moldavia in the former USSR. Is she a Disinfo agent, or just plain batshit? her tv appearances tell the tale

THANKS MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS!

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

This has been weighing on me for a while. In college, I suffered a bout of severe depression. I told my parents about it, and they just blew it off. No surprise really. I mean when I was in High School, my mother noticed that I was indulging in “unhealthy brooding”, which I described to my friends as “suffering from melancholy”, but was anything done? No. Nothing, save that I was indulged in my unhealthy brooding. and, I learned to not let them know. I cut myself. with a pen. I was going to be an actor, and didn’t want scars. so, I ‘slashed’ myself with bic pens.

In junior college, I made an attempt to get counseling, but the mental health pro I saw sat there with a dispassionate, “You bore me” attitude. I never sought help again. The episode of depression happened while I was at UC Davis. I forced myself to class, and no one mentioned the silent crying in class. I sat there. with tears rolling down my face and not one classmate asked if I was “OK”. The first clue no one cared

My second clue was when, in 1997, I called the nyc Suicide Prevention, and had the dickhead on the line tell me he had to end the call. apparently threatening to kill ones self is not an emergency to him.

In 2001, a 9/11 crisis counselor sent me to a shrink and, I was diagnosed with Personality Disorder NOS. Which was a few years before my diagnosis of ADHD in 2005. Now, the doctor diagnosing my ADHD never prescribed anything for me.

and, where am I now? right about where I was in 1984. Unmotivated. and unhappy. and, the First Underachiever in my family.

Taken at the Colorado Bund Rally in Denver to protest the stimulus. Since “Colorado says NO to Obama”  I presume, that when stimpak money arrives for roads, schools and other infrastructure improvements, these “Patriots” complain about Mexicans doing the construction work, but they have already said, in this protest, that the work of “improving the infrastructure of the State of Colorado” is beneath them.

OH NOES!!!!! THE WINGNUTS HAVE TO LISTEN

Posted on by The 40 year old magpie

When i was growing up, tv had what was known as the “Fairness Doctrine” what this meant was simple: TV station gives an editorial. If you had an opposing view, you could write and ask to state it. Simple.
Fairness Doctrine: Newspaper Editorial + Letters to the Editor
But to Wingnut Radio, IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!! Not that those who listen would hear the opposite view. No, they’re content to lose their home while hearing Limbaugh and Hannity and Beck tell them “jobs are bad”

In an e-mail that was also posted on his blog ahead of the Senate’s passage, Huckabee wrote: “The dust is settling on the ‘bipartisan’ stimulus bill and one thing is clear: It is anti-religious.”

The former Republican presidential candidate pointed to a provision in both the House and Senate versions banning higher education funds in the bill from being used on a “school or department of divinity.”

That’s been in Federal Educational funding bills for DECADES.

Imagine the undo pain this f$cker has caused.

Who can imagine the pain and anguish, not to mention the embarrassed looks the anti-vax crowd nust feel be enduring, knowing they were duped

THE doctor who sparked the scare over the safety of the MMR vaccine for children changed and misreported results in his research, creating the appearance of a possible link with autism, a Sunday Times investigation has found.

Confidential medical documents and interviews with witnesses have established that Andrew Wakefield manipulated patients’ data, which triggered fears that the MMR triple vaccine to protect against measles, mumps and rubella was linked to the condition.

The research was published in February 1998 in an article in The Lancet medical journal. It claimed that the families of eight out of 12 children attending a routine clinic at the hospital had blamed MMR for their autism, and said that problems came on within days of the jab. The team also claimed to have discovered a new inflammatory bowel disease underlying the children’s conditions.
