There’s something seriously wrong with people in the Pacific Northwest.
We’re sorry, but we have such a bad impression of people from Oregon upwards after the way they’ve behaved for the last several years. This will make many of you out there angry, and cause you to go all nuts in comments, but we have just had enough of grinch stories coming out of Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. There has to be something in the water or the cherry pie, because there’s just too high a concentration of moonbats up there for it to be mere coincidence.
We have friends from Oregon who tell us the homeless run the state, and are like the sacred cows in India. If anything you do as a taxpaying, employed, hard-working citizen in any way offends, disturbs, or interferes in the activities of the homeless, radical loons will shut down your business, picket your home, and generally drive you insane — for seemingly want of anything else better to do with themselves.
In Seattle, there’s Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky, one of the truly most vile “religious” people in this country, who declared war on Christmas in 2005 and forced the Seattle airport to rip down its tree and all of its decorations because this particular grinch didn’t like any of the festive cheer (shame on him, and all grinches like him).
And now in Alaska, there’s another grinch named Chip Thoma who has qualified as our Most Terrible Person of the Week, for waging his own Bogomilsky-esqe war on…wait for it…wait for it…brace yourselves…PIPER PALIN’S LEMONADE STAND.
These people are out of their minds.
Thanks to the awesome and industrious www.Conservatives4Palin.com for catching this.
What’s interesting about grinches is the reaction we have to them. Halloween and Pride are our two favorite holidays. Most of us around here have some degree of seasonally-affected disorder in the gloom and doom of Midwestern winters, so by the time Christmas rolls around, our enthusiasm for decorating, dressing up in costumes, and celebrating anything is generally tapped out. But, when that awful grinch Bogomilsky waged his politically-correct war on Christmas, it inspired us to deck every hall we had access to. We went out the weekend we heard about the assault on Christmas and bought what became a whole closet full of Christmaspalooza. Not “holiday”. Not “Festivus”. CHRISTMAS. The day after Thanksgiving, Buzzquarters looks like the shipping department of the Lillian Vernon winter catalog (since 2008, now complete with several hot pink “Hillary Trees”, decorated with ornaments we made during the campaign from blue Hillary stickers we placed on round blue bulbs we found at a thrift store for a dollar a box…and so we made like a hundred of them).
Because we live in a world where Elazar Bogomilsky actively tries to destroy Christmas, we need to be as ridiculously gay-appareled as possible every year (including, we are proud to say, July 25th of every year, when we dress up for “Christmas in July” in Boystown, which is one of the most fun times you can ever imagine).
And people like Chip Thoma, and all others who attack the Palins in the most ridiculous and bizarre ways imaginable, make us love the Palins even more.
Because, really, Piper Palin? You set your attacks on an adorable little girl and her lemonade stand? REALLY? You have now stooped THAT LOW?
But, actually, these loons stopped that low on August 30th, the day after Palin was announced as the VP nominee, when the Left started spreading those vicious rumors about Trig Palin. So, really, these people just sunk to those depths of depravity and stayed there, in an abyss where there is truly no further down these people can go.
Wherever that is, it’s a place filled with trolls, goblins, grinches, and bogomilskys.
Wretched, wretched things.
But, it’s really clear what these loons are doing, and that it’s most definitely being directed by the DNC: Palin is a major threat and would defeat Dr. Utopia in 2012. Therefore, Palin must be annihilated. The reasoning is: just throw everything you have at her every day, sue her for something frivilous several times a day if you can, attack her famiy, her friends, and no matter what she does, oppose her. If she leaves the state the way every other Governor does to do business in Washington or attend other events she is invited to, ATTACK HER. If she doesn’t attend something she is invited to, ATTACK HER, claiming she’s not promoting Alaska as a tourist destination. If tourists start coming to Alaska to try to meet her or just see her (as we ourselves want to do this summer…and we never, ever had an urge to go all the way to Alasks before Sarah Palin was on our radar), ATTACK HER because she’s bringing too many people into the state and it is inconveniencing locals.
It remains to be seen how much Hillary Clinton is in Sarah Palin.
Clinton has been attacked for 17 years now on the national stage, and was maligned and berated as First Lady of Arkansas for many years before that. So, for three decades, roughly, Clinton’s weathered all manner of nonsense, with hate mostly slung at her from the Right.
Palin might have had some of this in Alaskan politics, but the nonstop hate engines of the Left must be new to her, and are honestly worse than what the Right has ever leveled against Clinton. For the most part, the Right always left Chelsea alone. But, the Left attacks Bristol, Piper, and Trig on a daily basis (leaving Track and Willow alone for the most part, perhaps saving them in reserve for the years ahead).
Piper Palin is going to become something major in life — she’s one of those kids that just has a spark in her. She reminds us of an adventurous, precocious Nancy Drew/Pippi Longstocking that’s jumped to life out of a series of awesome mystery-solving, lemonade-selling, world traveling children’s books. We saw her on stage with her mom at three separate campaign events and have never seen a child with that much natural ability and potential. We hope Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin beat her to it, but honestly believe President Piper Palin will be our 50-something-th POTUS some day.
And don’t even get us started on the angel undercover that is Trig Palin — we adore the little guy, and happily took a punch to the face November 1st sticking up for him here in Boystown when Dr. Utopia’s followers were laughing at and making fun of him on the street and made the mistake of thinking we’d find them hilarious too. And that was a punch to the face we’d take each and every day if we have to, because you will not make fun of special needs people in our presence and not be challenged for it. NOT ON OUR WATCH, LEFTIES.
But, our heart actually goes out to Brisol the most. One of us here has a cousin who got pregnant at 18. She was lucky, like Bristol, to have awesomely supportive parents, but unlike Bristol she had the benefit of anonymity and the ability to handle the responsibility of a child in private. Between the lot of us here, we probably know 15 girls who had babies before they were 20 (and at least three guys who fathered children before they were 20 as well). The media berates Bristol and gives Levi Johnston a platform to attack her and the Palins on a regular basis (but, inexplicably, Dr. Utopia’s surrogate, John Edwards, gets absolutely no such shame or interrogation for having his affair with Rielle ‘Lisa Druck’ Hunter, fathering little Francis Quinn Druck Hunter (Edwards), or using campaign funds illegally to cover up said affair and offspring). And this has to be Bristol’s life now, all because her mother DARED to run for national office…and because, more importantly, her mother is the only person we can currently see who would definitely defeat Dr. Utopia in 2012.
So, that’s what all of this is always about…leashing Sarah Palin…beating her and her family to the ground so she won’t seek national office…bankrupting this family to make it improbable, if not impossible, for them to mount a successful primary effort in 3 years, let alone a national campaign…attacking her with everything they’ve got so other women with families will forever be terrified of answering the call and standing for the highest executive offices in the land.
Seattle’s grinch Elazar Bogomilsky inspired a renewed love of Christmas in us. Attacks on the Palins put us right back in the primaries revved up over the nonstop onslaught against Hillary Clinton, followed by the second round of sexism, hatred, and misogyny directed against Sarah Palin (and family).
Something needs to be done to make sure 2008 never happens to other female candidates again. It’s not just little girls’ lemonade stands that are at stake here, but the entirety of Generation Hillary and Generation Sarah, who are all the little girls (and even grown women) who may now believe for the first time that yes, real change in Washington means viable female candidates for president and vice president EVERY four years, not once every generation or so. Leftists don’t want that anymore than Bogomilskys want you to enjoy your Christmas tree and gingerbread cookies.
But, we won’t ever let those grinches take those away from us, and we won’t ever allow the Left to take aspiration away from good female candidates.
Not on our watch…and we hope not on yours, either.

May 8, 2009 at 10:33 am
My favorite comment on that story:
“Someone needs to shut down Dear Leader’s Kool Aid stand in Washington D.C.”
How truly vile do you have to be to shut down a little girl’s lemonade stand?
May 8, 2009 at 10:46 am
hillbuzz, you rock as always.
You were on this before I even mentioned it in the open thread.
The more the moonbats and O-bots attack these kids, the more I love ‘em. And I think it will pay to be nice to Piper now because she will be going places in life! LOLs.
May 8, 2009 at 10:58 am
We’re serious.
That little girl has something special in her. Meeting her was honestly what we imagine it would have been like to run into a 7 year old Hillary or Eleanor Roosevelt years ago — not being able to scry into the future and realize WHY the 7 year old in front of you commands your immediate respect and attention, but knowing that you have most likely just crossed paths with greatness.
She’s the first child we have ever met that made us think, Wow, she’s going to be somebody big some day. And we hope all Americans join us in rooting her on through the years and praying for her to stay true to her heart and what her parents have taught her because, just like Chelsea with the Clintons, the Palins’ greatest achievements are their wonderful daughters and sons.
It’s sappy Friday apparently, but we just love this family and thank the stars they continue to serve America despite what the moonbats send at them.
May 8, 2009 at 11:22 am
HB, I know you are serious, the LOLs were for the moonbats and O-bots that aren’t nice to her!
May 8, 2009 at 2:40 pm
HB, in the good gov’s Evansville, IN speech, she says that the person who picked her up at the airport talked up how much they’re looking to her for a future run, etc., and so they made her a bumper sticker.
She rolled her eyes and said “OK, show me what ya’ got.”
And then she held it up for the audience to see:
“Piper Palin for President – 2044!”

Loves it. Too funny.
May 8, 2009 at 10:58 am
I think so too. Piper is seeing and learning a lot at a young age and I suspect she will grow up to be one incredible woman.
May 8, 2009 at 11:00 am
FLMom,
You keep praying she remains humble at heart and as brave as her parents, and she’s going to take the world by storm someday. Piper Palin for President, circa 2038 or so.
May 8, 2009 at 11:03 am
“Piper”??
“Pippi”??
Oh, yeah! As usual, you guys nail it. I’ll never forget Piper’s sweet, maternal smoothing-Trig’s-hair action at the convention. You can tell Sarah imparts her values to All Her Children!
May 8, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Even my moonbat Mom (sorry Mom, I love ya!) was touched by that shot of Piper smoothing Trig’s hair. Such is the Power of Piper!
May 8, 2009 at 11:10 am
I posted this in the open thread, but it bears repeating here in the dedicated thread:
I’m normally a very non-violent person, but certain people just need to be beaten senseless and then tossed in an alley in the bad part of town.
May 8, 2009 at 11:25 am
I live in Juneau. Large tour buses drive at a crawl down the street past the governor’s mansion and then through a residential neighborhood with speaker systems blaring tourist patter. This is an issue Chip Thoma and others have been complaining about for over a decade. It has nothing to do with the present governor. See today newspaper article at http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/050809/loc_437699196.shtml or check out reports going back to 1999 at the City of Juneau’s webpage on tourism issues at http://www.juneau.org/tourism/www.juneau.orgtourism22009-bmp.php and the Juneau Best Tourism Practices website at http://www.tbmp.info/index.html.
May 8, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Meme…..
At least you showed up with your talking links….
Answer me this then, why is it that before the revamped effort by Chip Thoma, you could find him down by the dock telling tourists that the Governor was never there?? Why the attacks on the Lemonade stand and the buoy swing??
“concerned” about bringing down their property value. Pompous jerks, trying to say the Palin’s are what, “trashing up” the place.
Well, if Chip hasn’t already been contacted by David, he will be soon…
And I, for one will not rest until the DNC removs it’s fangs from the Governor’s childrens necks.
May 8, 2009 at 4:31 pm
oops…..removEs

Great Post HB!
This is why I dig you all so much.
Take care,

May 8, 2009 at 11:42 am
OT but insanely funny in a bad way.
Let’s see, the taxpayers will not be getting back the billions loaned to Chrysler and now GM, once restructured with Obama goons, may outsource more jobs.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/07/AR2009050704336.html
The U.S. government is pouring billions into General Motors in hopes of reviving the domestic economy, but when the automaker completes its restructuring plan, many of the company’s new jobs will be filled by workers overseas….
…Essentially in control of the company, the president’s autos task force faces an awkward choice: It can either require General Motors to keep more jobs at home, potentially raising labor costs at a company already beset with financial woes, or it can risk political fury by allowing the automaker to expand operations at lower-cost manufacturing locations.
—–
This won’t become an issue because the media, in general, will cover for him.
Hope and change.
May 8, 2009 at 11:55 am
The one thing that is always left out of these discussions is are people going to buy Chryslers? Dosen’t matter how they restructure if no one buys them. They could become the government fleet and then we pay for them on both ends, but can the government need enough cars to keep both GM and Chrysler open?
May 8, 2009 at 12:23 pm
We just went out on a limb and bought a 2008 Chrysler low-mileage, top-of-the-line program van for $17,500.
Dealer who graduated high school with my husband assured us warranties & maintenance would be no problem. Only because head mechanic is my son’s father-in-law did we decide to go ahead. We have a 25 year history with this firm, and they don’t sell lemons. Van we traded in had minimal problems so we feel comfortable.
Only reason we bought now is that we needed a newer, low mileage vehicle with which to go into retirement. Paid cash because bank CD renewal was only going to pay 2%.
May 8, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Good to hear and I hope you get many years and repair free miles in it!
May 8, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Hey Hillbuzz,
I’m only mentioning this here because you mentioned the Pride parade.
Is it widely remembered that this summer June 28 will be the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Inn riot?
For those that don’t know, this was what led to the annual Pride parades. There was this bar in New York where gay and lesbians frequented. The police would routinely raid the place and threaten the patrons with arrest and take their money. It was basically an easy way for the cops to make money and keep the gay community living in fear.
This is why the parade became an annual tradition.
This summer will mark forty years.
May 8, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Oh, and I noticed Mr. Thoma was at Woodstock.
I guess the acid he dropped at that family event must have burned a hole through his puny brain.
Asshole.
To go after a little girl like that makes me want to punch him in the face. And I would GLADLY sit in jail after doing so.
Aren’t there any anti-moonbats in Alaska who can make trouble for these people? Hello, Alaskan tough men? Where are you? I know that you are there, so show some balls and DO something that will make Mr. Thoma(he must have dropped the “s” off the end of his name because it stood for “slime”)regret harassing this CHILD?????
I have HAD it with these creeps, and if I lived in Alaska I would most CERTAINLY do something.
And damn the consequences!
May 8, 2009 at 12:42 pm
here’s more on Theodore Thoma
http://www.campaignmoney.com/political/contributions/theodore-thoma.asp?cycle=04
I hope somebody screws with this guy.
A LOT.
NOW.
I. Have. Had. It!
May 8, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Alaska has way more than its share of guns, wolves, bears, space heaters, jacked-up pickup trucks, and subzero temperatures. Sounds like a darn *dangerous* place to live to me. “Stuff” of various sorts prolly happens almost every day.
I’m just sayin’….
May 8, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Tammy,
Violence never solves anything — it’s like the Obots who punched one of us in the face. Pointless.
However, and we are not encouraging anyone in Alaska to do this, but if WE lived in Juneau, we would follow Chris Thoma around with a notepad and paper and would record everything he did all day, waiting for him to so much as jaywalk. Did he park his car improperly? Report it. Did he leave his trash too far from the curb? Report it. Is he talking too loudly in a restaurant? Complain to management and ask that he be told to leave. Everywhere he goes, it would be nice to see some of his medicine served back to him. If he is a business owner of any kind, a good forensic accountant or business analyst could also look at whatever public records exist for his enterprise, and look for anything that is worthy of Better Business Bureau or other public exposure. Sites like http://www.StephenFowlersucks.com could be started for Chris Thoma — where people spend all day talking about all the bad things he does and complaining about HIM, the way he likes to complain about a little girl’s lemonade stand.
If enough people joined a site like ChrisThomaSucks.com, we imagine it would take decades, if ever, for Google searches to no longer turn up what a jackass this man is. Just Google “Stephen Fowler” and see how wonderful it is to be this guy after how he embarrassed himself and his family on Wife Swap on ABC.
Frankly, we’d rather put our time into going after ACORN, etc, but we just want to remind people that violence is a barbaric way to deal with people — beating them at their own game is better.
And we really, really wish people would do this to all those who file frivilous lawsuits against the Palins. SURELY some wealthy Republican or moderate could file lawsuits against the plaintiffs in those other cases, for SOMETHING. If someone knew that by attacking the Palins they would have 5 frivilous suits filed against them in return, we think people would think before they try to attack the Guv or her family.
May 8, 2009 at 1:16 pm
On ACORN….Beck is suppose to be interviewing the ACORN 8 today on his show. Supposedly these people worked for ACORN and are now working to dismantle them.
I know you all don’t watch TV anymore, but maybe someone can tape it for you or send you the YouTube when it comes out.
May 8, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Yes, I can’t WAIT for this tonight! Former ACORNs spilling the beans + Beck = Great TV!

May 8, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I agree with you, Hillbuzz.
I was just venting.
But if it was I who lived in Alaska, then violence might ensue. He makes me THAT angry. And I am not a violent woman!
I just want to punch the guy.
I wish I didn’t, but I do.
Someone should do exactly what YOU suggest above, and drive the man insane.
Much better punishment.
Thanks for listening to my vent.
May 8, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Hello, Alaskan tough men? Where are you?
Oh, I would guess out mining, hunting, fishing and drilling. And not necessarily in that order.
They haven’t got time to deal with such thomafoolery.

Hillbuzz excellent article about the Palins.Of course the left is scared of her and they have the liberal media in their pockets to attack this lovely family and try to beat her in to submission before 2012.
Ain’t gonna work.Sarah is one tough lady just like Hillary.The more she is attacked the stronger she will be and her support among the public will grow.Just as Hillary showed the world what she is made of so will Sarah.
And I have to agree with you about Piper. That adorable little girl is going to be a world leader one day.Like mother, like daughter.Go Piper!Go Sarah!
May 8, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Thank you, for your support of the Palins!
Is it any surprise that Oregon is screwed up?
Wasn’t there a big stink about the last Governors election, and ties to ACORN and friends,DNC?
O’Dummie’s Idea is to break us all!
Do people not realize that the Chrysler creditors who were forced to take this 29% half the normally expected price, deal, are actually Our/Someone’s retirement funds.
In the so called effort to make this the least detrimental to the company. They have allowed 1 week for someone to come up with a counter offer above Fiat’s offer of 2Billion to purchase Chrysler. The creditor as I understand it thinks in normal bankruptcy proceeding and sale, they might get an offer of closer to 4 Billion. The Obot unions get 55% for nothing. Our retirement funds get a quarter on the dollar for almost 7 billion in cash. No stock! No 30 days, time, or advertising/auction for a better offer!
Take My or Be Ruined by My Obots!
And the Judge, also the Enron judge,is up for reappointment.
Top it of with repealing union leaders disclosure, of what the leaders do with the money/ put in there pocket, you got more Chicago/DC Pay to Play.
Fiat has never made decent cars! Now they are saying many of any new jobs will be in overseas production. this is going to help America folks!
May 8, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Oregon is screwed up because they accepted refugees from California, and they wanted to get a scaled back California style government.
Either that, or they’ve been hanging around Deb Frisch too much…
May 8, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I haven’t verified any of this yet independently, but some AK posters over at C4P have posted some verrrry interesting background on this Thoma guy. I will not say more other than that it involves several arrests.
Something to keep an eye on, and I’m sure the meticulous folks at C4P will do so.
May 8, 2009 at 1:26 pm
It’s great to see that Sarah Palin has so much support. Did you see that she is among the most admired mothers in the country?
Surveys
Moms to Admire: Sarah Palin and Jenny McCarthy
http://cityfile.com/dailyfile/5706
This most come as quite a shock to the media. They aren’t getting much bang for their buck when you consider all the time, effort and money poured into their campaign of vilification of Palin and her entire family. Matter of fact, I think a lot of the support for her is a backlash against the media attacks.
May 8, 2009 at 2:24 pm
“They aren’t getting much bang for their buck when you consider all the time, effort and money poured into their campaign of vilification of Palin”
Excellent point, Greg!
May 8, 2009 at 2:26 pm
I admire what I have seen of Sarah Palin’s parenting. I thought it was interesting that in one of Bristol’s interviews she said that the hardest part about telling her parents of her pregnancy was anticipating their disappointment in her. She did not say she was worried about yelling or physical punishment or coercion – just grieving for the possible loss of some of their respect. She didn’t say that she was worried that they wouldn’t support her.
Also, I read an interview with Tina Fey, right after Palin’s appearance on SNL. Tina said something like this: Sarah asked me where Alice (Fey’s toddler daughter) was, she said that Willow would be glad to baby-sit. I told her that Alice was at home with her nanny and it was Willow’s birthday that night. What teenager wants to celebrate their birthday in New York by baby-sitting?
Well, I guess Tina doesn’t understand that Sarah is raising her daughter to serve others, even on her birthday. She doesn’t understand that the whole family stayed together on the campaign trail as much as possible, because being with their parents even during the midst of that craziness was the best way to stay connected.
In fairness, I don’t know what the hour was when Sarah offered Willow’s babysitting services. Maybe it was very late and little Alice should have been right there at home in bed with her nanny. But the fact that Sarah would encourage her daughter to help the woman who had been trying her best to ridicule and humiliate Willow’s own mother for weeks tells me a lot about Sarah Palin.
May 8, 2009 at 3:17 pm
It actually was Bristol who went with Sarah to SNL and offered to babysit Tina’s kid.
It was Bristol’s 18th birthday.
‘Course I don’t know for sure, but I doubt Sarah would bring Willow, who’s 14, to the SNL set. That’s not really a show for young teens … although I know in the real world they probably watch.
May 8, 2009 at 3:23 pm
You are probably right – I only remember the gist of it and my response to it, and not the details.
May 8, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Just shows you how classless Tina Fey is: She couldn’t even be thankful for the babysitting offer, instead she had to slam Sarah because it was Bristol’s birthday.
I NEVER watch anything that woman is on. I don’t want to give Fey any of my business.
May 8, 2009 at 3:35 pm
I’m NOT a Tina Fey fan at all after her impersonation of the Governor, but I saw that interview and Tina didn’t slam Sarah or Bristol for offering to babysit.
In fact, Tina seemed touched by the offer and she said that she said no because if was Bristol’s birthday and “what teenager wants to spend her birthday watching the kid of the woman who constantly attacks her mother.”
May 8, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I’m sorry, yogi, but Fey could have just said, “Thank you for the offer” and left it at that.
By pointing out that it was Bristol’s birthday, she makes Sarah look like she doesn’t care about her daughter.
That IS a slam, even if it’s sideways.
May 8, 2009 at 4:24 pm
It’s okay, Tammy. We agree on a lot of things, it’s just that I saw this interview and she was genuinely touched by the babysitting offer. If anything, she slammed herself.
Now I must stop. I feel filthy defending Tina Fey. :)
May 8, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I know, I’ve been going overboard on my posts. I’ll stop too.
Just KILLS me that someone would go after that little girl, and I got riled up, as usual.
Hugs to you yogi!
May 8, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Being from Washington I can attest that your assessment is generally correct. However, the moonbats generally congregate in the western third of the state. If you come east of the Cascade mountains, we’re much, much closer to the mentality of Idaho.
In fact, there was even a rumor floating around awhile back that the Eastern portion of the state was considering breaking off from the Western portion and forming our own state. We’re sick and tired of having huge taxes levied against us to pay for roads and other crap in Seattle. Meanwhile, our own highway system is repeatedly used as a weapon by Olympia despite the fact that within 40 minutes drive from me you can find the two most dangerous stretches of highway in the entire state.
Here’s a list of a few of our loony transgressions recently:
1) This Christmas, Laura Bush requested that each state produce a Christmas ornament to hang on the White House tree. Washington’s ornament was the only ball to be rejected. Why? Because the artist commissioned by the state to create the ball is a far-left loon who admitted to feeling “nauseated” over the assignment and ended up putting tiny text SUPPORTING BUSH’S IMPEACHMENT on the ball! How embarrassing for our state.
2) Also this Christmas, the governor’s office allowed atheists to set up a display in the capitol building along with the seasonal religious displays. It was the only display there actively bashing religion. The display read, in part, “Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.” Obviously this drew plenty of ire.
3) Washington state is home to “Baghdad” Jim McDermott, the Congressman who took a trip to Iraq in 2002 and came back praising Saddam and saying “we don’t mind being used” as a propaganda tool against the USA. Oh yeah, Jim McDermott also ended up paying over a million bucks this year to Ohio Republican because McDermott had released an illegally taped phone conversation to the press some years ago.
This is just a short list. I’m sure there is many more.
May 8, 2009 at 3:37 pm
EricP’s right. Washington State, back in the 1930’s, I think I’ve got the time right, has the distinction for attempting to put on the ballot a measure to seceed from the Union as a… get this… a socialist country.
I was born and raised in Snohomish County which is next and north of King County which is the home of SEATTLE. I hate with a passion King County because they have ruled our state for decades, if not since time began here.
Seattle/King County always wins because they have the population. Whenever they want to spend money on something, my county gets stuck with the bill – property taxes.

I just have to say with your analysis about Oregon, Washington and Alaska that I AGREE! What the hell is going on up there? I think the states themselves are beautiful, but the people living there are a whole other story. No offense to anyone on our side (I know there are good people there too) Some of the nastiest obot stories seem to happen over there!
Poor Piper! Can we PLEASE throw all the crazy obots from the Northwest into one bid cage? Scratch that – can we please throw ALL the crazy obots in the world into to one big cage?
May 8, 2009 at 2:42 pm
they don’t have cages big enough for all of them.
i wish they would quit picking on the PALIN’S..

I thought: am I going crazy thinking there is some kind of mental disorder going on “up there”! It is reaching epidemic-please keep it away from the lowers! Just bizarre!
May 8, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I agree with you about Piper– that child is going to be somebody someday and the moonbats are already seeing her as a threat.
And no matter how crazy people think we Hillfolks can be, NOT ONCE have I seen or heard anything about any of us being mean to Obama’s kids. If one of us did do that, the rest of us would tell that person in no uncertain terms that Sasha and Malia are off limits.
May 8, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Right on about Obama’s kids, Jen.
And also I’m proud to say that I never witnessed anyone on my side EVER attacking Chelsea Clinton. Even Repubs I knew who hated Bill-n-Hill would go out of their way to mention what a great and well-adjusted kid Chelsea was.
Now, I’m not saying chelsea-bashing NEVER happened, there are crazies everywhere on both sides.
And if it did happen, it was extremely limited (but of course still wrong) and nowhere near the abuse the Palin children have received.

Chelsea Clinton is WONDERFUL. What an impressive woman she grew into. So nice, so smart, so funny, so kind….the best of her mom and dad. Too bad she doesn’t want to hold elected office…she would be an amazing Congresswoman or Senator. But, we don’t think she ever wants that.
May 8, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Anyone here that knows someone in Alaska, please pass on the hillbuzz suggestions listed above.
I am SO PISSED about this, and I just can’t let it go. Going after innocent children just GETS me.
Someone needs to harass that Thoma creep so HE knows what it feels like. And NO, I don’t mean with violence. I may WANT to punch him, but since I live about 4000 miles away that’s never going to happen.
Just wishful thinking :)

Public records–a certain Thoma has record of driving and drinking and snorting a little coke too??
and even a few dwi’s in oregon too!

What’s sad as I read this, is the hatred that exists between the political parties. We are all Americans, yet we are “taught” from birth practically to hate people of the opposing political party. That is how I grew up as a loyal democrat, not even questioning any of it, and believing wholeheartedly that republicans were “the worst people in the world”. If you believe people are terrible people, I guess you feel it is justified to trash them, we are taught. That was the state I found myself in (along with many of the readers here), up to election 2008, when my eyes opened and saw republicans as people for the first time, and realized so many were sincere, good people, who loved this country. We used to hate the flag wavers, those who joined the military and blamed them for getting us into wars. Now I see things differently. I realize how brave people are and how much they love this country if they are willing to make such a commitment to protect us, come what may. Because many of them were willing to give their lives for others, and did just that. Now I wonder how democrats can label themselves “liberal”, since their liberalism only goes so far as including those of the democratic persuasion. Their liberalism ends where republicans begin. It is astounding to me that I was so biased, bigoted, and ignorant and I am truly sorry for the many slurs and negatives things I thought about republicans for so many years. I am ashamed that democrats (my former party) are so rude, insensitive, corrupt, mean-spirited and more, because I always thought we were better than that. Everyone’s kids are (should be) off-limits, whether its Chelsea Clinton, the Bush girls, the Obama girls and all the Palin kids and grandkids. My heart goes out to the Palin family who endured terrible ridicule and abuse (and still do) at the hands of the “liberal” media and “liberal” politicians. And don’t get me started on what Hillary endured during the primary by the Chosen One and his liberal P.R. firm, a/k/a main stream media, as well as the Huff Post and others. We can only HOPE that their suffering has not been in vain…

Great post Hillbuzz! I agree completely, and in fact I intend to do a post later on my own blog and TC about this subject. I will twatter y’all the link when it’s done!!!
May 8, 2009 at 3:19 pm
And good lord… attacking a child’s lemonade stand? How repulsive. Can you imagine anyone attacking one of the Obama girls’ lemonade stands? I couldn’t, because it would never happen and it is repulsive to attack a child! Goddess, these clowns make me sick!

Gov. Palin risks impeachment over this.
May 8, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Your best post ever, Hillbuzz.
Every single word, every single argument you made, I feel exactly the same. This is the limit. The people who carry on like that should never be given the oxygen to fuel their nastiness.
Palin is a fighter. She is not going to let this stuff beat her. I think it only provides her with more reason to win.
May 8, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Piper Palin is the best, why are people mean about a child. she was so funny when Sarah was giving her speech. remember
May 8, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Latest ethics complaint was dropped against Governor Palin in regards to SarahPac. Other than the floods on the Yukon she has had a pretty successful week this week. She is actually getting stuff done that will help her State. Drilling, mining, polar bear regulations, etc. etc.
There are some good pictures of her at the flood site.

Don’t forget Sarah gets all, in her own words, “Mamma Grizzly” over this sort of thing…. I can hear her roar all the way from Alaska. Watchout!

I’m a transplant from Texas, living in Washington. I hate it. There are a lot of horrible, nonsensical things that go on here. The money they’ve spent on “studying” our traffic issues is enough to make me blow my top.
However much I hate it, I have to speak up in the name of all that is fair. I was living here around the time that Christmas debacle you mention happened. The Rabbi didn’t request the Christmas trees to be taken down. He requested the permission of the Port of Seattle to erect a menorah alongside the trees. Actually, he was going to lend them a menorah for the occasion.
Don’t know all the legal stuff that went on, but Port of Seattle acted unilaterally in taking down the trees.
I read an article interviewing the Rabbi after the trees were removed and he was simply flabbergasted at Seatac’s response. The real grinches are those who run the Port of Seattle. That mentality abounds in the government around here. It’s the PC-Seattle ‘tude.
(Just found a link with O’Reilly interviewing the Rabbi. I’ll let the man “speak” for himself: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2006/12/sea_tac_rabbi_g.html )

More Leftist Child Molestation: Shut down Piper Palin’s Lemonade Stand?…
While the Left cannot sink any lower when it comes to their NAMBLA-like obsession with the Palins and especially the Palin children, they are at least moving sideways, like a maggot sitting in the middle of Michael Moore shit is wont to do.
In Junea…

why would someone attack this family and their little girl? Hey! go ck out public records–what Thoma has been doing some drinking and driving and a little cocaine too??
June 29, 2009 at 7:28 am
[...] Well, as we know, Linda Kellen Biegel is a seriously deranged woman void of all reason or self-restraint. So you can bet she is cooking up a way to file this ethics complaint! Of course, she may not do it herself. She has many surrogates like Andree McLeod or Sondra Tompkins, or Theodore “Chip” Thoma! [...]
