850KOA

850KOA's Michael Brown goes there

Republicans never have a failure they can't rationalize or try to blame on someone else. That's why they call(ed) themselves the party of "personal responsibility", eh? And a two-bit partisan like Michael "Heckuvajob" Brownie, who was a key player in one of the saddest failures of our government and leaders (right after that 9/11 thing) would never miss a chance to try to make people forget his miserable tenure at FEMA and try to drag President Obama down to the Bush League:
[Former FEMA Director Michael]  Brown evidently thinks he has the moral authority to condemn Obama's handling of the tornado disaster. In an interview with Fox New's Neil Cavuto, Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" Brown blasted Obama for "playing ping-pong" while people died and "being more concerned with toasting the Queen" than taking care of tornado victims:

   BROWN: In this situation, they're almost tone-deaf. I mean, you stop and think about it, your press office should be recognizing that the visuals that Americans are seeing is of this devastation. Don't put a visual of the president up playing ping-pong. It's awful.

Talk about tone deaf. And talk about visuals, here's one of Bush as New Orleans was being inundated. But the immediate response was the lesser evil in Bush's reaction to Katrina. When you listen to his voice in the Brownie clip you can hear the fear and pleading in Bush's voice. His half-assed concern and lack of interest in the mechanics of government and executive powers are what led to a greater disaster in NOLA than had to be. No amount of Brown-washing can change that.

Just as the 9/11 attacks might have been prevented with the proper focus of the incoming government, Katrina's damage could have been lessened by a president who gave a shit and a FEMA Administrator who had the skills to handle the job. We had neither during Katrina or 9/11.

Michael Brown is doing his best to rewrite history and take Obama down a notch to the level of failed bureaucrat, and it's typical Republican attack-mode BS. We'll probably have to keep reminding everyone, until he kicks the bucket or gets off our airwaves, of how bad Brownie screwed up as FEMA Director and how the failures of the Bush administration are being met with mostly successes from President Obama.

I know others will, I can as well, do a heckuva job highlighting the massive failures that occurred during the Bush Administration. The usual suspects - with guilty consciences and easy access to a mic, are now trying to hide their failures with attacks on President Obama. I won't let them do it without a friendly reminder of their past.

850KOA's Limbaugh Lies about Michelle's Colorado Calories

860KOA's prime-time radio host Rush Limbaugh, who destroyed his hearing with an illegal oxycontin addiction, took time out of his show in which he'd normally lie about Barack Obama, lie about Democrats, and lie about unions and Wisconsin and a multitude of other issues to lie about Michelle Obama and her recent trip to Vail:
LIMBAUGH: I'm sure you're aware that nutritionist-at-large Michelle Obama is urging, demanding, advocating, requiring what everybody can and can't eat. She is demanding that everybody basically eat cardboard and tofu. No calories, no fat, no nothing -- gotta stop obesity. Except as in the case of all leftists, that's true for you, but not for them.

Michelle My Belle, minus the husband, took the kids out to Vail on a ski vacation, and they were spotted eating and they were feasting on ribs, ribs that were 1,575 calories per serving with 141 grams of fat per serving. Now I'm sure some of you members of the new castrati: "This is typical of what you do Mr. Limbaugh, you take an isolated, once in a lifetime experience, and try to say that she's a hypocrite." She is a hypocrite. Leaders are supposed to be leaders. If we're supposed to go out and eat nothing -- if we're supposed to eat roots, and berries and tree bark and so show us how. And if it's supposed to make us fit, if it's supposed to make us healthier, show us how.

The problem is -- and dare I say this -- it doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice. And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving, yeah it does -- what do you mean, what do I mean?

Limbaugh's lie was quickly debunked by an actual news organization that gives a shit about the truth, unlike 850KOA's management.

The NY Daily news did the dirty work:

850KOA's Rush Limbaugh punked by a Liberal with the Truth

by: Zappatero

Mike Stark served up a heaping helping of Truth to Rush Limbaugh - whose Ronald Reagan Mythology was turned to mush after Snerdley let the persistent liberal through their normally rigorous screening process:
STARK: Hi, Rush. I, um... I'm calling because... Well, first of all, I'm a liberal, and I seriously don't understand this, uh, Reagan idolatry on behalf of conservatives. I'll get... I'll give you my reasons. Instead of privatizing Social Security, he raised taxes. We're all paying higher taxes today out of our paychecks every single week because he decided to save Social Security. He -

RUSH: Wait, wait. Hold it. I need to go...

RUSH: Wait. Jeez.

STARK: The Greenspan Commission. He signed it into law, and it raised taxes on Social Security.

RUSH: What...? Wait, you're talking about Reagan or Clinton?

STARK: I'm talking about Reagan. Reagan did that. He raised taxes on Social Security. He negotiated with terrorists, sending - over and over again - arms to Iran in exchange for hostages perform by contrast Jimmy Carter didn't give an inch to the Iranians.

RUSH: What in the world...?

(cue Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men")

There's more liberal goodness at Stark's place. He knows how to flummox these liars and does it regularly.

He made John Salazar forget he was a Democrat - which was pretty sad.

But what he did to Rush and Reagan was a thing of beauty: he added truth to the mix and gave Rush's listeners a backstage glimpse of their hero without the Right-wing makeup.

Both sides do it? Gun-toting station owner hated MLK

Brett Reese is a radio station/gun owner and absolutely hated Martin Luther King, Jr.:
A Greeley radio station owner who aired an editorial denouncing the holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. has lost his gun permit.

The Greeley Tribune reports the concealed weapon permit was permanently revoked Friday, when a judge also ordered school board member Brett Reese to stay at least 100 yards from a rival radio station owner.

Justin Sasso says Reese threatened "a shootout" over advertisers. Reese has said his remarks were misinterpreted. (The newest last refuge of a scoundrel - Z) He says he'll appeal the judge's decision.

Reese had planned to carry his handgun to school board meetings after receiving death threats for his commentaries denouncing King.

He aired the commentary every day leading up to Martin Luther King Day this week.

Martin Luther King, Jr. - a Modern Saint:
