Thank You For Your Support
We just wanted to take this moment to thank all of you for your solid support in what’s been a difficult week here.
Most especially, we want to thank Cynthia Yockey for being such a big sister to us and getting the word out on what the Left, in the form of Daily Kos, the Democratic Underground, and Moveon.org, was doing to attack and defame us. Michelle Malkin, Conservatives4Palin, Riehlworld, Instapundit, LegalInsurrection, and many other sites we enjoy came right to our side and said, clearly, that when the Left attacks people using the Alinsky playbook, moderates, conservatives, and independents will not sit idly by and allow them to get away with it.
All of the attacks originated, from what we can tell, at a site called StupidPumas.com. We never heard of this site before this weekend, but it appears to be in business for the sole purpose of going after PUMA sites and people like Darragh Murphy and Will Bowers personally. We find it interesting that whoever runs StupidPumas does so anonymously, while simultaneously attacking people like Murphy, Bowers, and ourselves, libeling, defaming, and maligning us, but not stepping into the light and revealing who they are themselves.
We’d appreciate any information you can find revealing exactly who these people at StupidPumas.com are, so that we can begin legal proceedings against them. This site attacked one of us personally, called him a racist, and sought to destroy his livelihood here in Chicago. This site was picked up in a coordinated effort by Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and Moveon.org, instanteously, with calls to commit physical violence against us. The Left used StupidPumas to launch its attack, then used the rest of the Leftist sphere to echo and amplify it.
This is classic Alinsky.
If we sit back and don’t do anything about this, and let the Left get away with doing this to us, then what’s to stop them from doing it to others as well? The Left’s favorite tactic is calling someone a RAAACIST, but they don’t realize that the American public is waking up to this trick. The more people who stand up to these trolls and prosecute them, the less effective they will be.
This attack cost one of us a few contract, freelance jobs — so, in that respect, StupidPumas was successful. They took money out of our pockets and hurt a small businessman. But, as we understand it, that action amounts to tortious interference with a contract, whereby a third party (StupidPumas) costs an individual employment, and is thus liable for those damages.
Whoever runs StupidPumas, and whoever they work for in the Left, is going to get a wakeup call, let us assure you.
There was much debate here at Buzzquarters on what we should say or not say about any of this. But, honestly, the damage is already done. StupidPumas, Daily Kos, Moveon.org, DemocraticUnderground, and their flunkie sites are defaming us, costing us employment, libeling us, and literally taking food off the table here. Why shouldn’t we publicly stand up to them, and use this as an example to teach all of you how you can fight back against the Left when the Left’s stormtroopers and brown shirts come for you.
And, more likely than not, if you continue to oppose the socialist takeover of this country and the reckless, naive, and dangerous policies of the current president, then the Left will at some point in the future come for you too.
They came for us, and we stood up against them, with the support of others out there who know what it’s like to be attacked themselves. If we get your help in prosecuting StupidPumas, Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, and the rest to the fullest, we can teach them the lesson that the Alinsky playbook has been exposed, and an effective counter-book is being written for how to take back this country from these radicals.
You have no idea how much we’d rather be out enjoying a nice relaxing Saturday in Chicago, instead of having to deal with this headache. But, somebody has to fight back against these thugs so they don’t think they will always win. It looks like that somebody has to be us — and we certainly hope we have your continued support, because going up against the Soros Gang, we sure will need it.
Question of the Day: Who is Ellie Light?
We’re delighted some in the media are waking up to the fact that the current administration, and its army of astroturfing trolls, has been playing them like a harp from Hell.
“Ellie Light” has been posting pro-Utopia editorials in papers across the country, using a different address each time.
What she says is cut and pasted over and over again, pursuant to the PR goals of the current White House.
This is trolling, people. It’s what we’ve been trying to draw your attention to. This is what David Axelrod’s public strategies firm specialized in. It’s what the DNC and White House are engaged in, with MSM support, 24/7.
There’s the “Ellie Light” side of trolling, where pro-Administration pieces are posted everywhere, reading from the same script — and then there’s the “Nellie Dark” side of things, where trolls seek to take down anyone opposing the administration or calling it out on its lies and general socialist craziness. That’s when the trolls accuse people of being RAAACISTS, try to destroy their businesses, attack their families, threaten violence against them, and do whatever they can to destroy administration critics.
We have never, in all our history, seen a White House like this. Nixon didn’t even do things like this, on such a scale, with the loving support of the media.
Who do you think “Ellie Light” is, and how do you think astroturfing and trolling can finally be exposed and explained to the public at large?
THAT, right there, is one of our big goals for 2010: to wake the public up to these tactics so they are no longer effective tools of the Left. As things stand now, “Ellie Light” and “Nellie Dark” still manage to manipulate the public in the ways this White House intends. We wouldn’t put it past Rahm Emanuel being Ellie and Nellie himself.
It sure wouldn’t be the first time that former ballerina and current White House Chief of Staff was called nelly.
Wouldn’t be the first time he was involved in anything destructive, malicious, vindictive, and underhanded, either.
Class vs Crass: A History of First Ladies
Lou Hoover was proud of her country her entire life, not just when she was being lavished attention as First Lady, or when her husband was winning presidential primaries and elected office. Lou applied her intellect towards learning Latin and Mandarin Chinese, which served her well as a representative of the United States abroad in China while her husband was posted there in foreign service.
The current First Lady, Michelle Obama, despite being lavished every opportunity and award imaginable, never bothered to learn a foreign language (though she and her husband both frequently chastise the majority of Americans for not speaking a second language). Quick to tell others their souls are broken and in need of repair by her husband, Michelle is happy only when given a platform to rail against the country all of her First Lady predecessors have loved with all their hearts.

What’s on your minds today?

Can someone clear up a little mystery for us?
A comment yesterday said we were mentioned on Rush Limbaugh on Friday, but it was more of a riddle than anything. They said, “Rush talked about you today “, but that was it. We loved getting the heads-up, but would like to stress that talking in riddles is more than a little exasperating. It’s been a week from Hell for us.We’re still dealing with the Left’s attacks, and still trying to figure out how to fight back effectively. As much as we love mysteries (ooh, Jessica Fletcher!), we’d love it if people would tell us exactly what Rush said if he was talking about us.
We love Rush.
We think it’s hilarious he thinks we’re “babes”. We might not always agree with the man, but we respect and admire him, and think he’s a national treasure. Whenever he talks about us is an absolute honor and delight.
So, does anyone know what he said? We don’t have a chance to listen to his show because we are busy all day, but would love a recap. Being as specific as possible in posts to us is really helpful, becuase then we know exactly what you are talking about and don’t have to put on our deestalker hats and break out the magnifying lenses to figure out the clues.
