The Left side of the blogosphere, or Nutroots, appears to be set to, not only encourage, but financially reward, the worst types of political activism, some of which we observed during the last election cycle.
I've just agreed to accept the position of Director of Activism at blogpac.org.
The above was recently posted by Mike Stark at DailyKos. You might recall that Stark's particularly distasteful brand of activism includes physically confronting campaign aides to ask candidates such pressing questions as: Did you spit on your wife, or use the word nigger lately? He's also known for his great judgment, as when he deliberately held up an extremely vulgar sign during a national broadcast on the Fox network. One can only imagine what types of activism Stark will use designated funds to support.
In his unpaid position, causing one to wonder if Stark will ever get a real job, he will be responsible for disseminating $1,750 per month to grassroots activists he deems as deserving of a cash award for their silly stunts activism.
OK then... the ground rules. Every month I can give away up to $1,750 dollars.
Right now, there are no rules per se, but I was thinking of a $1,000 first prize, $500 second and $250 third. I want to know what y'all think.
Next, it is my job to identify the method that will be used to award the checks. I have a general idea of what characterizes good netroots activism and I could, if so inclined, simply reach out to individual bloggers and activist and tell them they've won. But I don't want to do that.
In another bit of nonsense only a non-capitalist moonbat could view as a great opportunity, for the honor of having the unpaid job, Stark also gets to raise the money for the effort - and Blogpac as an additional responsibility of his employment. As a businessman, what I wouldn't give to find an idiot who would work for free and raise cash for me to give away. Yes, there is one born every minute, at least on the Left.
You know, the truth is, I've never enjoyed asking for money....
Well, this time is different. I feel absolutely awesome about this, and I hope that hundreds of you will feel the same way as you click over to the blogpac donation page and make a deposit. Before you go though, please let me make a special request...
Blogpac is the Nutroots fund raising mechanism. At a time when Democrat politicians are preaching discussion, bi-partisanship and integrity, it seems their retarded step-child, the Nutroots, is plotting a different course.
If nothing else, the program may result in some additional embarrassing moments, as when the Left photo-shopped Senator Lieberman in black face during the last election cycle, causing any remaining sensible Democrats to keep their Internet children at arms length for fear of being pulled into a controversy.

So, he's asking for money to do more things like that....how mature. Maybe they could Photo-shop clothing on people and write "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny".....that's the room-temperature IQ it sounds like we're dealing with here.
Hey, I hope the Democrats go for it...encourage him. On the other hand, they might just do that to set up a "Sister Souljah" moment and look reasonable.....
Stanlinist vs. Facisist
Sun, 01/28/2007 - 09:11 ET by allanfWhen a "left" wing Stalinist like Stark employs these tactics, it is called an exercise in "free speech".
Of course despicable behavior like Stark’s coming from the right would be called "extreme right wing" and "fascism"

Sun, 01/28/2007 - 10:43 ET by nkviking75The last few campaigns have been marked by behavior from a few lefties that literally rises to the level of criminal activity. Putting out a statement like this that will undoubtedly egg the more unstable on to criminal behavior ought to be a crime in itself. Maybe this will eventually lead to some jail time to Mike Stark.
If it does nothing else, it proves that these boobs aren't interested in debate. Do you suppose the Russian revolution would have looked like this if they had today's technology?

Mon, 01/29/2007 - 06:49 ET by liberal_bug_zapperI agree, however, they're boiling the water too slowly for many Americans to recognize and their leftist agenda is slowly taking hold.
This comment from Kennedy when chiding Senators for adding on tax cuts to a bill is very telling as to what they think;
It has now gotten to the point that they believe it is their money. The money they are stealing from hard working Americans. Their money! How much more should Kennedy give to Republicans? How about; How much more should the Government STOP taking from all Americans!!! How about we make the government take only 3% of GDP no matter what? How about if we completely de-fund Education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all other debacles of social programs... here's what I'd start by cutting;
Department of Health and Human Services .......................... 765,056
Department of Housing and Urban Development ................. 48,994
Department of Labor ............................................................ 55,485
Department of Transportation .............................................. 65,651
Department of the Treasury ................................................. 494,293
Environmental Protection Agency ........................................ 7,904
Social Security Administration .............................................. 622,709
Postal Service ....................................................................... 3,502
Railroad Retirement Board ................................................... 4,969
Other Independent Agencies ............................................... 14,474
Department of Agriculture ................................................... 118,660
Department of Education ..................................................... 85,393
Department of Energy .......................................................... 28,323
Total savings of 2,315,413
It's important to understand that these are blatant wastes of time and money as the private sector will always be better than the public at making things get done right.
The number I get as a remainder in our new country budget is around 3.67% of GDP.... close to what it really should be.
The private sector can do healthcare, retirement, education, energy and grow friggin food without the damn socialists putting their fingers in every damn pie.
