Moveon Moves On … To EXTREME Ruthlessness!
November 28th, 2008 by joe
I know after the blitzkrieg we fell under conservatives are aghast, wondering “Who were those guys and what are they going to do next?”
Is there anything Moveon.org can’t accomplish?
Well I hate to be the bearer of terrifying news, but Moveon is not going away. They are moving forward!
This video was captured by a New York Magazine crew two weeks after the election at a Moveon meeting in Manhattan.
And by moving forward I mean revving up to kick ass, take photos and eat brains.
The money quote:
“Moveon is not about an issue, it’s about the issue being that you guys cannot organize, and that we need to figure about how to f-cking do it, because …”
“Can you spare us the obscenities?”
“Sorr .. Are you? .. alright, so anyway, thanks and I’m done.”
Be afraid, be very afraid.
These will be frightening times to be a moderate in America, with this progressive behemoth coming straight down the pike. To be a conservative, for goodness sake, will be like butter waiting for the hot knife to slice into us.

liberal illuminati claptrap! Is there a purpose? This group of people who enjoy themselves need to learn kickboxing to let out the aggression.

“be afraid” ??
really? I look at that video and see an unorganized group of koots. What do you see? Some strong, cohesive, dynamic group that’s going to be effective in bringing about some sort of crazy revolution? Honestly…
I’m sorry, but I’m going to continue to invest my fear in real threats, like yeti gangs.

Hey, Puff, time to replace your sarcasm detector.
November 29th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
sorry Linda, I’m committed to taking everything Joe says at face value from here on out

Who can tell if Joe is being sarcastic or not anymore. I mean, he can’t possibly believe that Gentle Giant is really worth listening to, can he?

OFF TOPIC —Are any of you guys getting hit severely by spyware and pop-ups lately? I’m having one hell of a time with it. Had a pro come in a day ago to clean most of it out and reset the protective mechanisms; but it has started up again…busting into Google stuff, messing up e-mails, and the like. Any ideas? Didn’t I hear recently about some group that had finally been caught and stopped from screwing with the internet but somehow has gotten loose again…something I read referred to them as a group of “criminals” and mentioned a connection with Lithuania.

Zimzo, I suppose my only question to you would be: Is it before or after your 8th sloe gin fizz of the evening that you typically hit the baserock? Because you must be both a) on crack, and b) sauced like a valley-of-the-dolls-era starlet to even make a statement like that.
From what I have seen of you, I have to think if you did not actually HAVE the culture you would at least be astute enough to recognize when you SHOULD have it and refrain from letting on about your cluelessness. Gentle Giant is (well, was) a group of musicians’ musicians, but they were also accessible to anyone with an appreciation for classical music. They were near the epitome of progressive rock as it was known in the 70s. Even granting that you might have been mired in your disco stage at that time, by now you surely must realize how good those guys were.
So I can only surmise you are wasted, tweaking and looking for a dust up, but you aren’t quite up to going out and getting in a fight with some cops. To which I say, good. Rather have you flailing out here than getting yourself locked up. But take it easy on the sloe gin it will really come back to bite you in the am.
November 30th, 2008 at 2:23 am
Stay Puft, as well you should. I take all of this very seriously and I hope our readers will at least do the same.

Wolv, make sure your antivirus is up to date and make sure you are using noscript
http://noscript.net/
It is an essential add-on to Firefox.
I don’t think I should have to mention that you should be using Firefox for all of your surfing. Internet Explorer is fine once in a while for trusted sites, but you should never wander blithely around the Internet with it.
I have not seen an increase on malicious Web activity.

Wolverine,
I echo the remarks to make sure all your software is up to date. To block spyware, I use the free version of Ad-Aware and also have bought Spyware Doctor and Norton Internet Security. They do a pretty good job, though Spyware Doctor and Norton can eat a lot of RAM.

“Didn’t I hear recently about some group that had finally been caught and stopped from screwing with the internet but somehow has gotten loose again”
yeah, they’re called “bogeymen”

I don’t know how to break this to you, Joe, but progressive rock sucks. In the 70s all the cool kids (like me) were listening to punk rock, which was the antithesis of everything progressive rock stood for. Progressive rock was an old person’s idea of what rock should be. It was dated even back then. It was never really progressive (the way the Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, Can, the New York Dolls, Eno, the Talking Heads, the Clash, Suicide, etc. were) and it was barely even rock. I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this.

Joe and Ron — Thanks for the computer safety tips.
Stay Puft — I can assure you that, if I ever laid hands on that “bogeyman, you would hear his death rattle all the way up there!
November 30th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
zimzo,
The Clash Sucked? Not punk? I agree about Eno and Iggy but The Clash? Does Billy Idoll qualify? Is Black Flag new wave? The Ramones where a pop band to you?
November 30th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Zimzo, I too love the smell of freebase in the morning but I have had to learn to resist the temptation. I urge you to do the same. It is not too late.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Where did I say the the Clash sucked, Jacob? Maybe if you freebased, Joe, you would have better taste.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Maybe if you DIDN’T hit the crack so much, Zimzo, you would better understand music.
November 30th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
zimzo, reread your comment #13, and realized I did not interpret what you wrote correctly. my bad.
joe and zimzo, everyone knows that smoking crack does not necessarily improve ones listening experience. Though it does kill brain cells by the truck load. This might explain a lot of what I have been reading.

“everyone knows…”
that’s interesting. I didn’t know that. How did you know that Jacob?
December 1st, 2008 at 2:11 am
Just what I was wondering. Maybe ol’ Jacob still has a few more surprises up his sleeve for us.

SPaMM,
You sarcasm filter is not working. Reinstall with ‘Sarc2.0.exe’, and reboot. If you are unsure as to how to reboot do as follows:
1. find a brick wall
2. head butt brick wall
3. repeat 2 until you pass out
- this was a public service announcement brought to you by the vast right wing consiracy (bwah ha ha)
December 1st, 2008 at 9:32 am
Joe,
Let me know if you need instruction on how to re-install ‘Sarc2.0.exe’, the cable hook up can be tricky.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:33 am
You’re nobody, Puffalump.

Considering that I have listened to and enjoy a very wide variety of music … about the only thing I don’t like is rap (and even some of that I can enjoy, but I’m selective on words/message) and vocal “twang” (hit the notes, not slide into them, please!) But otherwise, genre is not something I’ve ever seen that I don’t enjoy (hmmm…maybe the modern abstract … I don’t think I would listen to an hour of “rest” in music). There are many “favorites” I have for music … some before my time (Benny Goodman for one), some current and some in the near past. I could enjoy Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, the Bee Gees, Joan Baez, the King’s College Choir, E. Power Biggs, Wild Al, Buck Owens, Earl Scruggs and hundreds of others.
That’s to say that I figure I can understand a lot of different types of music. There are very few genre which have no value, and I recognize musical merit in almost any genre. When I see people that denigrate the music of a group that has merit, it just shows a lack of appreciation of things of different classes. It says more about the narrow mindedness of the person saying it than the music being criticized. The narrowness of mind of some show up in many diverse areas.

Brian,
‘recognize musical merit in almost any genre. When I see people that denigrate the music of a group that has merit, it just shows a lack of appreciation of things of different classes.’
I could not agree more. In every type of musical genre there is talent. In some genre’s this talent is thinner and the genre itself is more or less limiting.

Joe,
Moveon.org is just a concerned citizens group trying to effect direly needed change in this country. Although I thought the coloring book about Pres. Obama a bit strange, I agree with the necessity of this organization in moving this country forward and keeping realistic concerns before Congress. Before Moveon.org there was nothing more than a patchwork of grassroot clans that could not get anything accomplished. As with Pres. Obama, I would say to you that there is nothing to fear. Except maybe the coloring books. Sheesh.

Sweat B.,
Was that you? The ratty anorexic blond with the foul mouth I mean? I knew you had a niche in some radical organization. Do you do birthday parties?
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
ACT, sounds like Amsterdam mellowed you out some eh ?
December 4th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Naw, it’s the cold I got.
December 4th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Sweat B.,
Are you there? I just wanted to also mention that I think a “coloring” book of Osama-bama is definitely NOT politically correct!
