Another example of the Left attacking PUMAs
Here’s another example of the Left attacking PUMA sites, in Liberals’ neverending utilization of brown shirt tactics to take down all who oppose Dr. Utopia, the celestial Lightbringer: this is via DailyPuma.
In the summer of 2008, there was a blogroll over at JustSayNoDeal.com. For a period of several weeks, one after another, all sites appearing on that blogroll were attacked, many of them being permanently disabled. The attackers, to be cute, literally ran down the list, blog by blog, hitting one after another.
Classic Alinsky tactics from the Left.
This is why we abandoned Blogspot, which is run by Google. Most of the blogs we know of that were attacked were on Blogspot, and we believe to this day that the people running Blogspot helpd the Left take these sites down, all in service to Dr. Utopia.
Read DailyPumas account of what happened to three sites run under its umbrella: the same IP addresses were attacking PUMA sites.
The problem with all of this is that all of us who opposed Dr. Utopia are little islands in turbulent seas. We don’t effective communicate with one another, and most of us are not all that tech savvy. So, if one of us suddenly goes down and disappears, people may wonder what happened, but no one reaches out and coordinates a solid counter-punch to the Left.
We have no Justice League in the moderate, conservative, independent realm, whereas the Left has a well-funded Legion of Doom on staff, ever ready, to launch attacks.
What other attacks on PUMAs do you know of? Our deepest wish is to turn the attacks against us into a net-positive for all of us: more so than fighting to clear our own names, we want to launch a counter attack straight to the heart of Mordor itself, so that ALL of us out there who are being attacked by Obama’s goon squad can rally together and expose these thugs for who they are.
If we can identify them, we can take legal action against them.
If we can tie them back to the DNC itself, heads will roll.
Voters need to understand what the Democrat party has become and who exactly are in power now.
We have between now and November to make that happen.
Can Trolls and "Puma Hunters" be tracked back to the DNC and Organizing for America themselves?
For the past week, we’ve been thrust into the sort of maelstrom John Grisham conjures for his characters: for whatever reason, out of the blue, one day ordinary people find themselves up against a ruthless conspiracy bent on their destruction.
We’d never heard the term “Puma Hunter” until this week, though we were aware of sporadic attacks on people like Darragh Murphy at PUMApac.org or Will Bowers, two of the most prominent and outspoken Democrats who witnessed the brutal attacks of the Left upon Hillary Clinton supporters during the primaries, and, like us, decided they could not “shut up and sit down” once the Left’s “Lightbringer” was awarded the nomination and began his general election campaign. PUMA stands for “People United Means Action”, which sums up the grassroots movement that emerged after the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws Committee met on May 31st, 2008 and essentially awarded the nomination to Obama, despite the clear will of the voters. On that day, many of us saw the fix was in, and we became determined to make sure the American people would ultimately realize a coup within the DNC itself had installed George Soros-funded socialists in place to seize and forever alter the former Democrat Party.
Writers for PUMA sites were viciously attacked by the Hope and Change Gang from the very beginning, because we, to this day, refuse to be silenced about the thuggery, voter fraud, intimidation, harassment, and extortion the Obama campaign used to win the nomination and general election. The news media has completely ignored all of this, but those of us who campaigned on the ground for Hillary Clinton across the country saw, firsthand, the Alinsky Methods playbook used page by page against anyone and everything that stood in Obama’s way.
“Puma Hunters” appear to be a page from the same book that spawned armies of cyber trolls to serve Obama. Unlike trolls used generally speaking, working off new talking points each day to attack Obama’s opponents on policy points, “Puma Hunters” are operatives that focus specifically on destroying the lives of PUMAs: they libel and defame us, they make us unemployable by filling internet searches with false accusations of racism, they harass us at work to the point where companies cut our contracts for fear of losing business, etc. From what you’ve all, collectively, helped us gather in terms of clues this week, we believe these “Puma Hunters” are being directed by the DNC and Organizing for America, on some level, to berate, harass, and personally destroy moderate Democrats, Independents, and the newly minted former-Democrats who remain committed to exposing Obama for who he really is, and who his followers and goons really are.
What follows is our understanding of “Puma Hunters”, a recap of what’s happened to us this week, and all the information we have, so far, illustrating the coordination of multiple Leftist sites like The Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground on “Puma Hunting” expeditions, with very likely direction from the DNC and other Obama-controlled organizations themselves. With your help, we believe we’ll ultimately be able to directly prove the Puma Hunters, as well as the trolls and Internet fabrications like “Ellie Light”, are getting their marching orders from some entity like David Axelrod’s consulting firm, which specialized in astroturfing and Internet campaigns.
Like a John Grisham novel, there are many twists and turns in all of this. Little, average people are up against giant, powerful, ruthless machines. It’s chilling to believe donors to the DNC are actually funding, in some way, attacks on Democrats themselves, just because those Democrats don’t fall lock-step into the new Liberal-Socialist Democrat party. We believe there’s a real story behind this “PUMA hunting” that, if properly investigated, could bring down a large part of the Alinsky machine. If everyone who is being attacked devoted time and energy into identifying the attackers, and it emerges these attackers are all linked, it won’t take much investigative work to determine who’s ultimately coordinating all of this harassment, who is paying these attackers to destroy the lives of private citizens, and who in the White House knows and approves of what’s going on.
This is, clearly, much bigger than the personal attacks on us here in Chicago.
This is the way business is done in Obama’s “Golden Age of Hope and Change”.
Backstory:
Until the week before Christmas, we did not involve ourselves in the Massachusetts Senate race because Martha Coakley stood by Hillary Clinton in the primaries, despite immense pressure from the Kennedy Family, John Kerry, and Deval Patrick to back Obama instead. We have no idea how much harassment Coakley received for her decision, but we imagine it had to be considerable. We know what Obama’s goons do to regular people, so we shudder to think what they’d to do someone as high-profile as Coakley. Though we didn’t want the current Liberal-Socialist Democrat party to maintain its super-majority in the Senate, we stayed out of the Massachusetts race in deference to Coakley’s Team Hillary resolve.
Things changed for us when news of Blanche Lincoln’s Louisiana Purchase and Ben Nelson’s shameless Cornhusker Kickback exposed the level of graft, corruption, secrecy, closed-door-deals, and undemocratic activity Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama were engaged in to ram the Healthcare Rationing Bill through the Senate, in the dead of night, on Christmas Eve. This behavior horrified us. The Democrats in power heard clearly from voters across the country that they did not want the Senate to rush through any bill with the economy-altering power of this Rationing measure, and yet, Democrats deliberately chose to vote on legislation most of them hadn’t even read, in the cover of darkness, in the middle of the night, while most Americans were distracted with holiday preparation. They thought people wouldn’t notice what they were up to, but they were wrong. We noticed, and we decided to do the only thing we could do at that moment in time: back Scott Brown for the Senate in Massachusetts to send Democrats a message. If they could lose “The Kennedy Seat” over their reckless and dangerous handling of healthcare reform, then not a single Democrat in office would be safe in 2010.
Looking at Scott Brown for the first time, we instantly liked what we saw — and we’re not just talking about his layout for Cosmo. We believed Brown would actually read legislation before voting on it. Even more refreshing than that, we knew Brown would think for himself and would not just do what Harry Reid told him to do — especially not with something that will raise taxes, decrease access to medical care, bankrupt many doctors and hospitals, and cut Medicare benefits to millions. Coakley lost our support when she went back on her campaign promise to vote against the Rationing bill; once she won the primary, she decided she already won “The Kennedy Seat”, and her arrogance in treating voters like peasants (culminating in her aide, Michael Meaghan, actually pushing a reporter to the ground when he dared to ask her a question about her sudden willingness to do whatever Reid told her to do in the Senate) offended us.
To help Scott Brown, we thought of two things to benefit his campaign:
(1) Stir up our readers to volunteer for him
(2) Mitigate any attacks the Left would use against him based on his Cosmo photo spread
Since we’ve been attacked for two years now by the Left, and have watched other PUMAs attacked as well, we can fairly accurately anticipate a large portion of what these people will do to someone. We knew they’d try to turn Brown’s decades-old photoshoot against him, so we decided to get in front of it by calling Brown “Hottie McAwesome”, and making his Cosmo spread a net-positive for our readers, and all who’d use search engines to find those photos once Democrats got around to attempting to use them against him. Well, idiots, those photos are great. In fact, they’re awesome. Scott Brown is awesome. He’s also, still, at his age, hot. So, “Hottie McAwesome” caught on as a Brown nickname, and started appearing on signs in photos all around Massachusetts.
In the last days of the campaign, when Coakley tried to ridicule Brown for those Cosmo shots, it was Coakley who looked stupid, not Brown, because people had already seen Hottie McAwesome in all his glory…and they liked what they saw.
Almost immediately after beginning the “Hottie McAwesome” campaign here on HillBuzz, we received warning from Democrats here in Chicago that we “needed to stay out of the Massachusetts race”. So much was riding on that special election, in terms of the Healthcare Rationing bill, that “too many people are watching this and they are going to come after you for helping Brown”. The people warning us were good Democrats, big in the fundraising community, whom we know from Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign. It’s very rare for them to ever chime in with anything to us, but whenever they think we’re on to some story the DNC does not want us talking about, they’ll caution us that “talking about this will cost you work, and draw more attention to you than you want”, and advise us to drop the topic. Since all of us work as freelancers, in the private events, grant writing, and nonprofit world, in a city controlled by Liberals, trust us when we say we do not take warnings like this lightly. We’ve struggled for two years now since Obama supporters started blackballing us around Chicago for not backing “The One”. We’ve lost work whenever Obama’s goons harassed our employers for having us on the payroll, and we found ourselves axed because of that. ”I just can’t be associated with you, because you’re on a Banned list, and I don’t want them coming after me, too”, is something we’ve heard a lot of since the day we launched this site in February 2008 to combat everything immoral and undemocratic the Obama campaign was doing to both Hillary Clinton and her supporters.
On January 9th, we ran a “Who’s Mad At Us Today Report”, addressing these warnings, and noting that, after serious consideration on our part, we were going to continue to support Scott Brown because we felt (and still feel, clearly) Democrats had abused their super-majority in the Senate and that the people of Massachusetts needed to take back “The Kennedy Seat” from the DNC to “teach Democrats a lesson” (borrowing a favorite meme of conservatives we hear time and again towards the GOP). Naively, we thought there wasn’t much less the Left could do to us, really. Our freelancing careers are pretty much over in Chicago, save for gigs we still get from fellow PUMAs who won’t abandon us. We have no delusions of ever again being able to land contract jobs working for the City of Chicago, especially not after we opposed the Olympics scheme and helped rally people for Rio. We’re aware that in a Liberal-controlled city there are severe financial and professional consequences for exercising free speech and dipping our toes in political activism.
But, the fate of the country meant more to us than anything the Left would throw at us in punishment. We decided to continue supporting Brown, despite multiple warnings that a maelstrom was being prepped for us at the DNC, because we felt this race was too important to allow the Massachusetts machine to win.
Scott Brown was elected to the United States Senate on January 19th, 2010 — to rapturous cheers here at Buzzquarters in Chicago, and around the country.
On January 20th, the Left decided to escalate their usual attacks on us, this time personally outing one of us, calling him a racist, and advocating for the destruction of his personal and professional life.
It seems they were so upset Brown won “The Kennedy Seat” that they moved quickly to punish anyone they felt had in any way contributed to that stunning win: and we became a target.
Since beginning this site two years ago, we’ve maintained it anonymously as “The HillBuzz Boys” here in Boystown for several reasons that should be obvious to you:
(1) We like having jobs and want to be able to eat dinner once in a while.
(2) Politics is our hobby, not our profession. In Chicago, particularly, a hobby like this will cost you employment, guaranteed, so why do that to ourselves?
(3) We enjoy having personal lives. Being gay, but refusing to toe the line, in a Liberal-controlled city means immediate pariah status for any of us who dare to publicly call the Left out on anything.
(4) We never intended to make politics our lives. HillBuzz itself exists by pure accident. It was started as a little blog to give Hillary supporters in Chicago a place to post articles and plot strategy during the worst days of the 2008 primary, when Obama was winning a string of February caucuses and Tim Russert, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, and the rest of Obama’s media cheering brigade kept berating Hillary Clinton to “just quit already” and her supporters to “shut up and fall in line”. Once Clinton suspended her campaign, we kept this site running to fight the PUMA fight…and to work with Republicans for the first time in our lives to defeat Obama, since we knew what he would do as president. Hint: it’s exactly what he’s done this past year. We pegged Sarah Palin early on as McCain’s VP pick, and have liked her for years, ever since we heard about her battle with the corrupt idiots in Alaska like Ted Stevens. So, of course, it was natural for us to back Palin whole-heartedly in everything she did, and continues to do, to this day.
We’re surprised as anyone at the evolution we’ve made, starting out on this site as lifelong partisan Democrats, finding ourselves relentlessly attacked by our own party, losing our livelihoods because of an election decided years ago at this point, and being villainized at every turn by a well-organized Leftist machine that’s aimed at anyone who opposes the socialist takeover of this country.
Sometimes, it feels less like something John Grisham would have written and more like a Stephen King paperback.
*************
Specifics of the January 20th “Racist” Attack:
As noted in the Backstory above, the recent volley of attacks on us started on January 20th, 2010 at a site called “TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com”. This site appears to be run by someone named Sean S. living in Birmingham, England, who is listed in various records as a “consultant” of some stripe. BigotBasher made an entry on January 20th entitled: “Scott Brown and a hate site — The making of a Republican Campaign”. In that post, BigotBasher uses one of our real names, randomly runs a photo of one of us with Michael Steele from an event here in Chicago (when he could have just as easily used a photo with one of us and Whitney Houston or Lady Gaga, as we’ve met them as many times as Michael Steele), and flat-out calls not only this site, HillBuzz, “a hate site”, but calls one of us, personally, a racist. That is the very definition of libel.
Despite numerous notices for TheBigotBasher to remove the libelous racist accusation, Sean S. has refused to comply, in clear violation of WordPress terms of service (TOS). To date, for whatever reason, WordPress has refused to take action against Sean S. and remove all posts using our names, likeness, and the defamatory racist slurs. If you know a way to contact WordPress directly, we’d appreciate your help in getting TheBigotBasher scrubbed, since this is the originator of all attacks against us this week.
What follows is where things get really interesting, in the Grisham sense, because it’s clear to us the Left coordinated this attack upon on. ”TheBigotBasher” is an obscure blog that gets almost no traffic. According to Alexa.com, it’s ranked 9,459,458 in the US and is so little-read that it doesn’t even turn up in the global Internet rankings. By contrast, our site, HillBuzz, is currently ranked 14,852 in the US and 95,972 in global rankings.
On any random day, something we write has a fair to good chance of being picked up in the mainstream, because we have a lot more eyes focused on us daily. We find it impossible to believe people read “TheBigotBasher” waiting for scoop to drop on anyone, so that a link to libelous content on BigotBasher can be spread lightning speed across the Leftist blogosphere, destroying someone’s name and reputation across the Internet forever.
Almost IMMEDIATELY after BigotBasher launched his attack on us, that post was picked up by The Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground. A host of other Leftist, Obama-supporting sites followed suit, repeating TheBigotBasher story as fact.
It is now impossible for us to ever remove all of this libel from Google searches. We intend to sue as many people involved in this attack as possible, and will devote YEARS to go after anyone running that racist charge against us, but the Left scored a victory here because we are now required to devote part of our day to fighting this battle instead of continuing what we do here every day, which is to look at the political world from our moderate Democrat perspective and call the current DNC and White House out for their radical socialist ties.
The end game in all of this for the Left appears to be to shut us down, make us shut up, and scare us into submission. They have personally destroyed one of us here. They’ve made him unemployable in Chicago. We have no idea how we are going to help him recover from this, but after this attack by the Left, his life as he knew it is done.
And, yes, in addition to the financial problems this causes, it has a personal impact, too. Do you know what happens when you’re dating someone and that guy decides to Google you one day, just for fun, and stories accusing him of being a racist turn up on Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and other places? That person breaks up with you, if you didn’t already guess that, because he wants no part of being with a guy who’s getting attacked like this — for fear these people will come after him next because he’s associated with you. At this point, after suffering through the maelstrom for two years, we just have to take lumps like that as being par for this course. Our support for McCain/Palin in 2008, and our continued support for Governor Palin, makes us damn-near undateble in the LGBTQ community, since in Boystown, the only voting ever done is blind Democrat Liberal voting. The fact we have many Republican friends now makes us pariahs. But, throw in attacks like what Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, and BigotBasher have done, and the quality of our lives is further diminished. We’re truly being prevented from enjoying our lives to the fullest, being kept from employment opportunities, and being alienated in our community because of the attacks launched against us on a personal level by the Left — all because we dare to discuss politics and use our little niche here on the ‘Net to fight for the country we love as best as we know how.
The Left, through BigotBasher, made its attacks on us personal…and we tell you all of the above to stress what a personal impact this has. Just imagine if this sort of thing was done to you. What would your friends and family think when they Googled you? What would prospective employers think? Do you think you’d get the job you were applying for if a company thought they could be on the receiving end of harassment from the Left, too, if you were collecting a paycheck there?
Now, we’ve been aware of attacks like this on other people — on the personal level — launched by the Left before.
The Left called Bill and Hillary Clinton racists in 2008.
The Left called Geraldine Ferraro a racist.
The Left called Lynn Forester de Rothschild a racist.
The Left called John McCain and Sarah Palin racists.
If you do not fall to your knees and worship at the merest thought of Obama, “The Lightbringer”, you are called a racist.
This is the Left’s favorite weapon. They use it a thousand times every day.
But, for some reason, few people ever stand up to the charge. Few people ever seem to go after the people who make these sorts of claims, and who ruin people’s lives in anonymity. Why is it allowable for someone like BigotBasher to post someone’s real name, use a real photo, and make false charges of racism designed to ruin a person’s life…when BigotBasher remains anonymous? Why does WordPress allow BigotBasher a platform to launch an attack like this?
Why are Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground so quick to broadcast libelous accusations against private citizens with impunity?
How are all of these sites being coordinated, so that something posted on an obscure blog like BigotBasher on January 20th can be reposted and distributed to millions of people by close of business that same day?
Who are the people behind attacks like this?
Who is coordinating them?
Who at the DNC knows what’s going on, and are those people writing these scripts and using people like BigotBasher to punish those who don’t heed warnings and fall into line the way the DNC and Obama White House wish?
If Obama and everything he is doing to this country are so wonderful, then why do his supporters and followers employ tactics like this to attack those who don’t embrace him?
That’s the most important question of all, really, because it’s so counterintuitive. If this really was the Lightbringer. If this really was a new messiah. If Obama had any idea what he was doing and if he was really good for this country, then thuggery would not be needed to silence his critics and prop this empty suit up. If Liberals really were right, and if they really did know what was best for this country, then no bullying would be required to make anyone “fall into line”.
Wouldn’t we all be gladly drinking the Kool-Aid and riding on our unicorns if the Hope and Change Gang was right?

What We’ve Learned So Far About How Puma Hunters Are All Connected:
(to be updated later today, as we are still sorting through all the clues you have collectively uncovered, tying BigotBasher to other sites such as Rumproast.com, Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, Snarkopolitan, Bettycracker, and posters calling themselves Sean S., “Wonk Hussein”, “Kevin K.”, JohnD, and other aliases, which appear to be the same three people who have been coordinating hits on PUMAs since the PUMA movement began in the summer of 2008).
If you have any information about attacks against other PUMA sites by these people, and other instances where they’ve libeled private citizens as racists, outed their real identities, and coordinated efforts to make them unemployable through libel and slander, please let us know.
It appears there could be a RICO case against everyone in the Left coordinating this. The crux of it is “tortious interference of contracts”, as well as libel charges. Essentially, whoever is running these attacks for Obama on private citizens is costing PUMAs employment, as well as inflicting permanent personal damage to them. Thus, those people should be held responsible for lost wages and the enormous monetary costs of hiring PR experts and Internet gurus to work for the next several years at removing every instance of the Left calling these private citizens racists.
If someone has to mount efforts like this to take back their good name, then the people who launched these attacks — and the people who instructed them to do so — need to be held accountable for it.
STUNNING ADMISSION: UK scientists admit they make up data for political reasons to support Church of Global Warming
This story is getting absolutely no coverage here in the US, but it’s stunning to us.
UK scientists are actually admitting they make up data to promote the Church of Global Warming, because they “want to put political pressure on governments”. So, these people invent data, such as the reports on Himalayan glacier shrinkage, create a global hysteria, dupe the Nobel Prize Committee into handing out a meritless award for research that is fabricated and fatally flawed, and the US media deigns not to report any of it.
The Nobel Prize, at this juncture, has essentially become no more prestigious than something found at the bottom of a Cracker Jacks box.
And not even one of the good prizes, like the fake tattoos or a decoder ring.
The Nobel Prize is one of those crappy plastic whistles that don’t really make any noise, or some kind of supposedly educational word-find games printed so small we can barely read it.
Not worth the paper it’s printed on.
The scariest thought, to us, regarding all of this blatant deception is that if these “scientists” have just been making up data to support the Church of Global Warming, what other “scientists” have been making things up?
Are they doing this in the field of aeronautics too? Does anyone understand how 747s stay in the air, really, or are they just winging the whole fluid dynamics comprehension stuff?
Does anyone have a real handle on nuclear power — or are all the scientists working in those plants just making up data and filling in their charts and graphs like soduku puzzles?
Is your heart surgeon someone who knows what she’s doing, or is she just “hoping for the best” and “saying whatever politicians want said about your EKG”?
“Science” today is an immense joke because of the Anthropogenic Global Warming hoax.
We’ve said this repeatedly, but we’ll say it again. In third grade, back in Catholic school, our teacher told us that the Earth’s weather was controlled by the sun. She even drew a picture on the chalk board, using the expensive colored chalk she only used to illustrate important points. Sister Francis Borgia drew a sun, with a big smiley face on it, with happy waves coming off it, headed towards the Earth. Then, she drew another picture, of an island with a palm tree on it. The waves from the sun caused waves in the water, and washed over the palm tree. In more advanced lessons, this nun drew a picture of the moon, to illustrate how it controls the tides.
No matter how many boats we put into the water, running at full speed away from the shore, towing giant plastic bags scooping as much water as possible, we will never be able to stop the moon’s impact on the tides. We can make a giant mess, disturb a great deal of wildlife, and upset many wealthy people with beachfront property (please let it be the Kennedys), but we as a species will never have more impact on the tides than the moon.
Just as we, as a species, can create a giant mess with pollution, but we will never have as much impact on the climate and weather as the sun.
Those happy wavy lines headed straight at us by that big smiley sun are what controls our climate. Whether ManBearPigs like it or not. When there is high solar activity, this planet warms. When there’s low solar activity, this planet cools.
We learned this in third grade.
Sister Francis Borgia deserves a Nobel Prize, posthumously awarded in the field of astronomy, climatology, and excellence in illustrative chalk drawing.
Question of the Day: Which races should we follow in 2010?
Many of you are asking which races we’ll be following and getting heavily involved in for 2010, and what sides we’ll be on.
Definitely, we want to focus our attention on the Senate. That’s always where our interest has rested, largely because of Hillary Clinton’s time in that body, and what we learned about the Senate from following her there for many years. It might not be out of the realm of possibility for us to cover all the US Senate races going on this year. At the very least, we’ll hit half of them.
Races we already plan on watching:
(1) California — where we want Barbara Boxer defeated
(2) Nevada — where we want Harry Reid defeated
(3) Florida — where we want Marco Rubio to win
Oddly enough, we don’t plan on spending much of our energy on Illinois’ Senate race, since we’re so disgusted by what’s going on with the candidate selection and nomination process. It’s frustrating both sides are putting up bad candidates, with no one we can rally behind and get fired up over ending up on either side of the ballot.
We really like Sue Lowden in Nevada and hope she’s the Republican nominee. We’d love to work hard and back her. We also really like Marco Rubio, and can envision helping him with lots of gusto.
It’s time to sit down this week to look at what other races are heating up, and where our attentions will naturally be drawn in the months ahead. Of course, we’ll all have a clearer picture once February rolls in, since the parties will choose their candidates on both sides and we’ll know if people like Lowden and Rubio are the actual nominees. If it’s not Lowden, we still want Harry Reid to lose, but we won’t help out in that race. The same with Florida: if it’s a Rubio campaign, we want no part of it. That’s not an aspersion against whomever the nominees are instead, it’s just our honest reaction on where our energy will flow.
Are there any Democrats we’ll campaign aggressively for in 2010?
We’ll answer that question with a question: Are there any Democrats who are standing up to the DNC, the White House, and the rest of the radical Leftists controlling the party and this country…Democrats who will put country above party and actually listen to what their constituents want…Democrats who have the guts to do what is right, stand tall, and call out the lunatics in power now and get them to behave more responsibly?
Find us a Democrat like THAT, and sign us up for her or his campaign, pronto.
Who do you want us to cover this year, and what races do you think will be the most interesting?
The Illinois Sente Race
The primary in Illinois is just ten days away, and honestly we don’t know what to tell you about this race.
Here’s what we think is going to happen, barring any surprises between now and the election:
(1) Mark Kirk will win the Republican nomination
(2) Alexi Giannoulias will win the Democrat nomination
(3) Alexi Giannoulias will destroy Mark Kirk during the general election
(4) Alexi Giannoulias will become a United States Senator
Item #4 above is stomach-turning.
Giannoulias is bad for Illinois, and bad for this entire country. He is the very embodiment of corruption, and will be a sincere and true friend to the mob, the Chicago political machine, and the socialists in the White House if elected to the Senate. We don’t believe any of the Democrats running against him in the primary has what it takes to stop him from winning the nomination. Which is heartbreaking, because David Hoffman would make an excellent Senator — in the vein of Peter Fitzgerald, who served this state well, in the very seat up for grabs, until 2004. Fitzgerald, like Hoffman, went up against the Daley Machine, was unafraid to take all comers when it came to rooting out corruption, and was a decent and admirable man.
We just don’t see a way for Hoffman to win, because Giannoulias has played his hand so expertly, and has somehow, with the help of the machine, managed to find himself on a playing field where his opponents all draw enough votes from each other to guarantee Giannoulias squeaks ahead with a win. Blacks will vote for Cheryle Jackson. Gays and many Liberals will vote for Jakob Meister. David Hoffman will get the vote of people, like us, who want to see a decent Senator representing Illinois, who will be beholden to no one.
Giannoulias, however, will have Daley’s machine out for him in full force. If we knew a way to stop this, and to push Hoffman ahead, we’d do it. Maybe someone out there can think of something and we’ll run with it…but the fix is in, by all accounts, for Giannoulias.
On the Republican side, things are more difficult for us. We’ve tried repeatedly to warn Republicans that Kirk will go down in flames in the general election. We know for a fact Giannoulias’ team is prepped and ready to go, set to use every dirty trick in the book against Kirk. We’ve seen Kirk in person many times: he does not do well with voters. He is awkward, halting in his speech, and deliberately evasive in the most obvious way. Some politicians can get away with never answering a voter’s question, because they are so charming or entertaining, that the questioner walks away so star-struck by the encounter that only hours later that person realizes he or she was completely ignored and dismissed.
That’s not how things are with Kirk.
If he doesn’t want to answer a question, he starts telling stories about being in the Army reserves, and being stationed in Iraq. He’s a little guy, so he has to look up to most of the people addressing him, and he, without fail, comes of as condescending and naive, since he believes he’s actually putting one over on the person in front of him. At events we’ve been at, we’ve heard people, again and again, scold Kirk. ”No, that’s not what I asked you. Yes, I think it’s great you are in the reserves. I applaud you. But I asked you why you voted for Cap & Tax, and you completely ignored me and just started talking about what you wanted to talk about instead”.
That happens ALL THE TIME.
Kirk, and the Republicans who surround him, have no idea how angry regular people are at his Cap & Tax vote. These people are clueless. That Cap & Tax vote is all anyone we know talks about. ”Damn Mark Kirk to Hell”, is something we heard three times today. ”If he thinks I’ll vote for him after what he did with Cap & Tax, he’s nuts. I don’t trust him any further than I can throw him, that lying S.O.B”.
So, it’s going to be very easy for Giannoulias to paint Kirk as a liar. Democrats will make their narrative all about Kirk not being trustworthy…about Kirk keeping secrets…about Kirk flip-flopping on important matters.
An anxious public doesn’t want to hear things like this right now. Illinois is a state where Republicans are highly prone to staying home on election day, “To teach the GOP a lesson!”. Well, Kirk’s going to win the primary in ten days, but he’s going to lose the general election because there isn’t a single Republican we know who’s going to vote for Kirk in November. ”I just can’t do it,” is what we hear over and over again. “Not after Cap & Tax”.
The realistic and prescient fear is that Kirk would be a new Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, or Arlen Specter in the Senate. This would actually, in our opinion, in some ways be even worse than having Giannoulias win the seat. At least from Day One, it would be clear how Giannoulias would vote: however the White House wants him to. So, we could all plan on that vote here in Illinois being exactly the same as it’s been since 2004. No surprises there.
But, Kirk would forever be a wildcard, always set to stab the GOP in the back whenever he felt like it, the way Snowe and Collins do whenever they need to perform some of their “Weird Sisters” grandstanding.
Who knows who’d be influencing Kirk behind the scenes, or what they’d use on him to force his hand, to make him vote the way they wanted. The man doesn’t seem to stand for anything. He was on the wrong side of Cap & Tax, which we believe should disqualify him from holding any office at all. Cap & Tax would have destroyed this country. We truly believe that. Kirk supported it. Then, when there was a public outcry, Kirk pretended he didn’t really know what he was doing that day, was confused, or suddenly realized how bad Cap & Tax would be and now says he’ll vote against it in the future.
This is the same shameless lying Martha Coakley did in her Massachusetts primary campaign regarding abortion restrictions in the Healthcare Rationing bill. Coakley swore up and down and twice on Sundays that she would not vote for the Rationing bill because it restricted abortion. She did that to win the primary. Then, once she was the nominee, and thought she was a defacto Senator, Coakley tipped her hand and revealed her intention to just do whatever Harry Reid says when she got to Washington. She said that, no, she would in fact most definitely vote for the Rationing bill after all, no matter what it said. ”I don’t even plan on reading it, to be honest, I’ll just vote however they tell me,” is the attitude she took.
This is exactly how Mark Kirk would behave in the Senate. If Democrats use coercion on him, he’ll vote for crazy things they want him to vote for, whenever Snow and Collins aren’t available to betray their own party. If Republicans are more persuasive that day, Kirk would vote the way they tell him to. If questioned about anything in front of him, Kirk will just keep telling his stories about Afghanistan. ”Did you know I’m in the reserves? True story. I was walking in Khandahar one day and I saw the most interesting rock in the middle of the road…”
What’s really hard for us to deal with is that people we truly respect and admire are solidly behind Kirk. ”Kirk is the nominee!”, they’ve all been saying for months. We don’t have it in us to get involved in this race and go against the Kirk supporters we like. We’ve tried for a year now to convince these people Kirk will fail, and we’ve warned them again and again of what Democrats intend to do to Kirk to destroy him, in more spectacular and fabulous fashion than anything that was done to Jack Ryan, but no one wants to listen. “Kirk is the nominee. It’s Kirk’s turn. No one remembers Cap & Tax and people like hearing about Afghanistan, so we don’t know what you are so worried about”.
Don’t say we didn’t try everything we could to warn them.
Now, we know absolutely nothing about Patrick Hughes except:
(1) He did not vote for Cap & Tax and things Cap & Tax is utter madness
(2) Democrats don’t have a file on Hughes ready to go to destroy him
Thus, 1 + 2 = Hughes is a better candidate to run in this race.
With the Tea Party behind Hughes, and moderates and independents wary of sending the scion of the mob banking Giannoulias family to the Senate, then Hughes can win. Hughes will not force any Republicans to stay home on election day “to teach the GOP a lesson”. Hughes is nowhere near as good a candidate as Scott Brown, and has nowhere near the appeal of a Brown candidacy. We definitely could not justifiably call Hughes “Hottie McAnything”. But, Hughes appears to be a good man, we’d trust Hughes to be our next Senator, and, to our knowledge, Hughes has never dodged questions asked of him by shamelessly pimping his military record to distract from any ugly truths.
We’d be happy with either Hoffman or Hughes in Washington.
Between Giannoulias and Hughes, the clear choice is Hughes.
A Giannoulias vs. Kirk race results in, essentially, a vote under the White House’s control no matter who wins. We would never in our lives vote for Giannoulias, but seeing Kirk up close and personal and watching how he behaves, we just won’t vote for him either. Not when this man can’t answer a simple question such as, “Why did you betray everything you said you stood for by voting for Cap & Trade?”. Kirk owes that to voters, but refuses to be honest. We just can’t vote for him.
Now, during the general election, if it’s a Giannoulias vs. Kirk race, we will tell everyone who’ll listen about all the terrible things Giannoulias and his family have done here in Chicago. If Republicans really make the mistake of nominating Kirk, they need to be in charge of propping him up. We’ll make the case against Giannoulias, and will illustrate what a puppet of the White House’s he will be in office. A vote for Giannoulias is a vote for the Liberal-Socialist Agenda.
If Kirk wins, however, it will be only a minor blessing, since Kirk will be another Snowe and Collins. Just when Specter FINALLY got off the stage, here would come Kirk to replace him as the GOP’s #1 male turncoat.
We just can’t wrap our heads around the thought of having to watch that sort of RINO nonsense play out for another 6 years during what we are sure would be Kirk’s one and only term.
It’s rare for any political race to roil us like this. Normally, we can pick a side fairly easily. It’s very rare (like the case with Martha Coakley) to ever change our mind mid-race and support someone we never backed before.
If we see any realistic possibility that either Hughes or Hoffman could win their respective races, we tell you right now we’d jump head-first into this race and would devote all our efforts to pulling off an upset. We were certain Brown would win in Massachusetts if Republicans and Independents could be motivated to turn out in large enough numbers for him to beat the Liberal-Socialist machine.
As of this post, we don’t see any way for Hughes or Hoffman to overcome the machines working against them. Maybe that will change in the next 10 days. We hope it will. It would be wonderful if a window of opportunity opened that would alter the inevitable outcome of this race…which is destined to land a terrible person like Giannoulias in the United States Senate.
But, the machines on both sides of the aisle have already seemed to agree upon what’s going to happen. It’s as if Republicans decided they really didn’t want to win this seat…and Democrats got together and picked the absolute worst person in the state to send to Washington.
Crazy.
Monday Open Thread: January 25th, 2010
What’s on your mind this Monday?
********
Someone sent us this clip of Sandra Bullock, giving us support in our fight against the Leftists who have been harassing, libeling, and threatening us this past week. Love Bullock. Love all of you for keeping our spirits up and giving us the support we need to take these thugs on and research exactly who they are, whom they are working for, and where their attack orders are coming from. So many of you have sent us emails in the spirit of this clip, that we could never adequately thank you enough. It should not go without saying that if any of you are likewise attacked by the Left, we would echo Bullock in this clip in terms of what we’d do to help you out as well. If we all stick together, these orcs, goblins, and trolls can never beat us.
Who is Sean O'Sullivan and what web sites does he run?
Who is Sean O’Sullivan?
Whom does he work for?
What web sites does he run?
Several clues came in today saying he’s someone we would probably need to learn more about.
* 39 years old
* Lives in Birmingham, England
* Works as a “consultant”
What else can we find out about him and his internet activities — and what agenda has he been driving?
Sunday Open Thread: January 24th, 2010
Many thanks to everyone who has been helping to track down the identities of the Leftist thugs who have been defaming, threatening, harassing, and libeling us. It feels like we’re making real progress, and are close to zeroing in on the IDs of these people. Expect a full update soon, once we have time to pull everything together, and piece together all the clues you’ve been uncovering. What you’ve been helping compile in the thread on this topic has led to other revelations, and new avenues of mystery and intrigue. It’s like something out of John Grisham novels — which we can assure you are more fun to read than live through.
Someone told us to be very careful with digging too deep into this, because if our hunch is right and this does lead back to the DNC and Organizing for America themselves, there are many people who will do us physical harm to keep us from exposing them.
Well, they’ve made the mistake of targeting single, gay guys with no children, no one depending on us for anything, and no real reason to sit back and let them attack us unchallenged. We live in Chicago. We’ve been mugged. We’ve been physically assaulted before. We’ve been dealing with nonstop harassment from Obama supporters for over two years now — all in service to their “Lightbringer” of Hope and Change, whose message can only, it seems, be spread through violence and thuggery.
If their “Lightbringer” really was so wonderful, and what he was selling truly was so magical, then why do they need to threaten, attack, and try to intimidate people the way they do?
Listen, we grew up gay in the Midwest, where we were abused, threatened, maligned, harassed, and blackmailed before…by people much more creative than the Hope and Change Gang…people who covered their tracks better. What these Obama-supporting thugs don’t realize is that when you launch Alinsky attacks against people who have been subjected to Alinksy attacks their whole lives, like us, we aren’t going to just turn tail and run.
If they think just because we’re gay that we’re going to wilt into puddles on the floor and let ourselves be bullied, then these homophobes have another thing coming.
Instead of being silenced and bullied, we’re going to do everything we can to not only identify the people who are attacking us, publish THEIR real names, and publish THEIR photos, the way they’ve done to the people they’ve victimized…but we are going to take things a step further, and identify who they are working for in the DNC, Organizing for America, or even the White House itself. And we will prosecute the lot of them to the fullest extent of the law.
We hope that whenever the Left uses these tactics, against any of this administration’s opponents, that people band together and provide the detective work to drag these goblins and orcs out into the sun.
We plan on using everything we’ve got to help anyone else in the future who is victimized like this. In service of that, we’re happy to use this attack on us as a case study of how to respond to the Obama camp when it lashes out at its opponents. Systematically, we can, together, figure out where these attacks are coming from and who is driving them. We can figure out who’s writing the talking points to deliver this garbage.
And if we can really trace this all the way to the DNC or White House itself…just imagine what will happen then.
America needs to see what “Hope” and “Change” really mean…to see how Obama’s minions really behave. To see what they are up to, in ceaseless efforts to shut down all opposition to him and his socialist agenda.
We will fight these people until they actually do kill us.
And if that happens, we hope and pray some of you out there will continue the fight after us, and continue to expose these people. They can’t take all of us down, and in attacking so many of us, they will, we believe, bring THEMSELVES down in the end.
A full report on all we’ve learned later, we promise.

UPDATE:
Can anyone answer the following questions:
(1) Who is the person posting as BigotBasher on Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, etc.?
(2) Who runs the site TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com?
(3) Can anyone find contact information to let WordPress know its TOS are being violated by TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com — in that TheBigotBasher is libeling and defaming and engaging in tortious interference of contracts using WordPress to do so?
(4) What is the contact information for Daily Kos, DemocraticUnderground, Moveon.org, Organizing For America, and the rest of Obama’s goon squad?
(5) What authorities in the UK can be contacted to alert them to someone in their jurisdication engaging in libel, defamation of character, and tortious interference of contracts?
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.
