Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Conservapedia on Akin 100

With all the news about Missouri republican senate candidate Todd Aiken's unbelievably idiotic statement about rape and pregnancy, I just had to know what the brilliant minds at Conservapeida (alternately "the trustworthy encyclopedia" or "the encyclopedia that only Jesus can edit", depending on whom you ask) had to say on it.

I just looked at their front page, and was not disappointed. Two amusing clips from their "news" column on the right-hand side of the page:

Liberal double standard: Politico punishes its reporter for saying something sympathetic about Todd Akin, while CNN is just fine with crass namecalling by its lackey Piers Morgan against Akin. Next week the liberal media might demand that other conservative candidates withdraw for restating other scientific facts.

and:

"Reports: Paul Ryan called Todd Akin" ... and the conservative Akin presumably told Ryan to stand up against media bullying for a change. [3] Don't be surprised if Akin wins but Romney-Ryan's weakness on social issues causes them to lose.

It's amusing to see how the world looks from their perspective once in a while...

    Scientific facts, eh? But hey, c'mon, he's winning. That's gotta say something. I remember thinking Missouri was pretty hip to vote for a dead man over John Ashcroft during that senate race. Times change, I guess.

      I remember thinking Missouri was pretty hip to vote for a dead man over John Ashcroft during that senate race.

      That was an abnormality for Missouri. That state is as red as a firetruck. Todd Achin' won the primary in a landslide, for instance. It almost always has a predominantly Republican state house and senate, and usually sends Republicans to Washington.

      Even the Democrats in Missouri are pretty conservative, although not as batshit insane as Perry or Gingrich or Ryan (especially the tea party Ryan from I

          There were states that Bush won where the margin between Bush and Gore was less than the number of votes for Nader. While you could make the argument that perhaps some of the Nader voters would have otherwise abstained from voting, there sure as fuck weren't any voters who were thinking of voting for Bush who switched to the Nader camp.

          And I will also remind everybody that Lieberman was on Gore's ticket.

          Lieberman was indeed a poor choice for VP.

          That would be the secondary reason he lost. But the shills will never accept that.

          I would say the primary reason for Gore's loss was that he ran a terrible campaign. He was the VP of a very popular president,

          • There were states that Bush won where the margin between Bush and Gore was less than the number of votes for Nader.

            Totally and completely and utterly irrelevant. You cannot blame Bush's victory on anything but the people who voted for him (Bush). Everything else is pure bull-hockey. It's the damn democrats looking for someone besides themselves to blame for their own failure and to discourage conscientious voting. I do not accept the guilt trip they're trying to pull.

              No, it is not irrelevant. Just because you say it to be, does not make it so. The Nader votes helped GWB to win the election, without a doubt. Even the GOP realized that Nader could help them, which is why they paid for ads on his behalf.

              You cannot blame Bush's victory on anything but the people who voted for him (Bush).

              That would be true only if 100% of the people who wanted to vote, voted for who they wanted to vote for, and their votes were counted properly. We can blame the disastrous Bush presidency on those who voted for him, but his being appointed president was accomplished b

              • I will always side with the Nader voters as the only ones brave enough to take a chance. They stood up and told the other parties to bugger off. Like me they decided it wouldn't make a difference between Bush and Gore (Cheney - Lieberman). Of course we can't prove it outright, but historical precedent is on our side. You know, if Gore really wanted to draw the Nader voters to his side, he would have adopted more of Nader's platform, and of course he would have picked a different VP. So I'm not convinced he

          • Oh, and let me switch around for you. If the democrats that voted for Gore had voted for Nader, Bush would have lost the election. So there you go. I'm blaming them for Bush's victory.

            I do respect you, mcgrew. However I do not personally see pot as being an important enough issue to warrant voting for a candidate who cannot possibly win.

            Furthermore -and I suspect we will not agree on this - I don't see the pot laws as being that oppressive. From my vantage point you are free to consume as much pot in private as you want, and getting it is not exactly difficult. I see the functional application of the law - in that the vast majority of people busted for pot are those who are under

              • I'm not sure how you read what I wrote and came to that conclusion. That is a good example of why nothing ever changes in drug policy - people from both sides have their agendas and assumptions, and are unwilling to give an inch or a minute to anyone who does not agree 100% with them.
                R Which ends up having the additional effect of shutting out input from people who do not agree 100% with either, as they will be shut out by both.

Nobody has any right whatsoever to lock people up for possession of a harmless plant. There is no scientific proof of any danger from it, none. The prohibitionist are working on pure irrational fear.

I happen to have a really terrible sense of smell - to the point where I can hardly tell the difference between tobacco smoke and pot smoke (they just both make me want to vomit) - and not much first-hand experience with the not-yet-smoked stuff.

                      If you want stoned people to be allowed to go in public and do whatever the hell they want to do, that is part of your values.

                      Well, "whatever they want to do" is a bit lax. If they're being a nuisance that's different.

                      From my vantage point, someone who

                    • I want the same for stoners.

                      That's requires that you vote for somebody to provide that. If you don't, then you are not being truthful. But, like you said, alleviating their suffering is not a priority (However I do not personally see pot as being an important enough issue to warrant voting for a candidate who cannot possibly win.), being in the middle of the herd is... where it's nice and safe. Centrism is so lazy.

                    • Libertarians get no respect [rawstory.com]... The republican crazy act is working. Everybody is running away from the opposition parties.

                    • Wow, that is the closest to not lying you have come since you started trolling me in this thread. Now if you could just get your mind around the fact that not everyone sees marijuana as the most important issue facing our country you might manage to display the discussion abilities of a well-trained basset hound. Some of us see that between the two candidates who do have legitimate chances of winning, there are real and meaningful consequences if one wins over the other. If we vote for neither we could e
                    • The post remains consistent with what I've said all along. It is you that refuses to see your own contradictions. My needs aren't important. That is only a rationalization on your part to dismiss the argument out of hand. It is you who consider the lives of and justice for over half a million people as unimportant. It's not about a desire to waste money to seek them out and lock them up, it's that you don't give a damn and vote for people who do.That's just as bad if not worse. Go ahead and vote for your li

                      I'm in Illinois where the only candidate that has a ghost of a chance of winning is Obama. Folks in Texas have only one viable candidate: Romney. In fact, there are only half a dozen states where your Presidential vote makes any difference at all.

                      Voting for someone who wants your loved ones imprisoned is insane, no matter who has a chance of winning. Vote your conscience.

                    • Thank you! That's the message I'm trying and failing to get across.

                      Voting for someone who wants your loved ones imprisoned is insane...

                      And arrogant... This guy is a textbook case of an alcoholic in denial. The same principles apply in many facets of life. And we're seeing it action right here.

                      If enough people stand up and resist, their vote will be counted. But only one percent are brave enough to make a stand. He's not one of them. Centrism is not only lazy, it's cowardly.

                    • You can deny your obvious trolling all you want, that doesn't make it cease to be trolling. You never wanted a discussion, you wanted only to waste my time or to try to anger me. You wouldn't know insight if it fell into your coffee. What I write in response to your comment doesn't matter, since you will just cherry pick the parts that you find most interesting - or just simply make shit up in their place - and then write a reply that shows you have no understanding of what I have actually written.
                    • There you go again, with your paranoid delusions. You need help, man.

                    • Hmmm. You have stated on more than one occasion that multiple people are out to hurt you personally. That pretty well eliminates and credibility you have to call other people "paranoid".
                    • You are another sorry excuse for a troll that leaves me missing the trolls we used to have here.

                    • Yeah, I watched them have their way with you, make you look like goatse, and all I get are sloppy seconds. But I feel vindicated in knowing you got it all wrong. Being the good sport that I am however, I shall concede the internet over to you. Congratulations!

                      Tag! You're it!

                    • So you've watched actual trolls in the past, and this is the best you can do? Really? You've got a long ways to go, kid.
              • The anti-pot people are stupid.

                Read the source of his propaganda [prisonpolicy.org] (pdf), it's almost word for word. Notice how they try to individualize and break down each bust to reduce the numbers.

          • ...both those parties for legalization...

            Yes, easy for them to say this now, from a position with no clout. Once in, they will do just like Obama, and "keep Guantanamo open" so to speak.

            • by mcgrew ( 92797 ) *

              Well, if they actually get elected and become anti-pot, then they don't get my vote again.

              • Well, what the hell, I'll give 'em a shot. Can't know for sure until we try, right? Just don't go back to dem or rep if they screw up. And I, for one, will never allow this to die just to be on the winning side, like some people are so willing to do. I may be harsh with my words, but I don't troll with my vote, putting real people in harm's way. I think what's he's doing is absolutely shameful. "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos." indeed. Absent something very traumatic, I can't expect him to understand. Su

    • Actually I wouldn't doubt this is a 'plot' to distract people from Romney's tax issue. Gives him more time to doctor ^W amend his returns for public viewing. I'm not sure where you stand on this, but to me, if he wants the gig, he has to cough up the info we demand, or should be demanding. That's the price of authority.. well a small part of the price anyway. Also why should anybody vote for a man that hates his own country so much that he tries to hide his money overseas to evade (legally, but so what?) ta

      • amend his returns for public viewing

        Oh get stuffed, will you?
        If the IRS had determined that Romney's returns were not in order, he should have been audited, no?
        This whole 'Romney the tax cheat' meme is a foul thing straight out of a fascist regime in a prior century.
        That the Obama campaign beats this drum is a public confession of intellectual bankruptcy.

        • Don't care. If he wants the job, he has to give it up. That's all there is to it. Very easy to understand, requires no clarification. When we ask questions we should demand answers or tell them to GTFO. In fact we should waterboard them over it, just so they know what torture is before they sign the next order approving it. Anybody performing or approving a waterboarding should be subject to it since it's so harmless. This goes for all of them. And hey, we can even include birth certificates to make you fee

          • Oh, you mean like BHO's college transcripts?
            I Am. So. Sick. To. Death. Of. The. Asymmetry.
            • Boy oh boy, did you ever fall into that age old trap. Condemnation of one signifies the endorsement of the other, right?. Do many people end up in jail over college transcripts?.. No? Eh... Oh well. Are college transcripts responsible for the theft of my pension and wrecking the economy? No? Damn! Tax cheats on the other hand.. well maybe now we'll find out where those pensions went.

              Ah, but I'm quibbling. The guy you think I endorse is busying committing murder, torture and other war crimes, spying on us, s

        • This whole 'Romney the tax cheat' meme...

          You must have skipped over the part where I specifically said his moves are legal (but we don't know for sure, do we?), but for a man who wants to rule over us, are completely unethical. If he believed in America he would invest in America... Does it feel weird that this is your only hope of getting rid of Obama, and he's totally and utterly unqualified for the gig, but you gotta vote for him anyway? Eh, just think of it as latrine duty, and, as they say, just lie do

          • You must have skipped over the part

            Wow. someone (you) with a demonstrated lack of ability to comprehend the written word* just accused someone of having not read a post well. Fascinating.

            *The other option is that you were flat-out lying about what you did and did not read. I prefer to not initially assume anyone to be a liar.

            • Nope, you spelled out quite clearly that you're a prohibitionist, willing to let hundreds of thousands of people to rot for political expediency. There's no doubt about that. That's not an insult, by the way. It's just what you are.

              • I spelled out no such thing and no reasonable person could possibly come to that conclusion if they were to actually read what I wrote.

                So are you incapable of reading and actually comprehending the English language, or are you lying about actually reading what I wrote? Those are the only possible explanations at this point.
                • I spelled out no such thing...

                  Of course you did.. It's right there in your post. You said the pot laws, laws responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands, and the suffering of hundreds of thousands more, are not that oppressive* (first they came after the pot smokers, but I don't care, because I don't smoke pot...), spoken like a true armchair... something or another. You are clueless (or sadistic in willful ignorance) on the pain you cause, yes, YOU! It is YOU that throws them into the cell to be raped

          • Look, the entire point of the tax return argument is to create a doubt about Romney's veracity.
            Your retreat to a 'just asking questions' position is falsehood with a veneer of glib.
            You are encouraged to fall off the planet.
            • :-) Right, it's not like these people lie, cheat, and steal or anything. What good for the goose (us) is good for the gander (them). If you want to keep crooks and liars on a pedestal, that's fine, just don't complain when people point it out to you. I've hit a nerve with you, that's a good thing. It means we're finally getting to the meat of the matter. Nobody else seems to have gotten through to you this way. Maybe now we can help you see the truth of the consequences of what you're doing as you prop them

            • P.S. Just went over to your site. Definitely explains the hostility, and your rabid, irrational support for the man. Reminds me of the guy from National Lampoon who said, "Anything but Nixon, man. A blender, anything...." Funny how neatly the pieces fall together. Couldn't ask for more. I am utterly fascinated by this, more so after so many years of observation. It confirms all.

  • I got as far as the "Arguments Against Relativity" thing linked from the front page...

    Conservapedia is obviously false-flag, most likely part of Operation Mindfuck.

    It's even better than the old White Heroes Opposing Red Extremism gag.

      Do the people who come up with the content for that site know that?

      'Cause it looks like genuine "you can't make that stuff up" crazy.

      • I prefer to think that the owners of such sites are unwitting pawns in The Great Discordian Conspiracy.

        It helps keep me sane... I think.

  • This is a new record for my journal entries. Too bad a large portion of the comments came from someone trolling me.
