How long can I keep referring back to the gratuitous reference to wasting $ in my childhood on Wacky Packages?
Ask Michelle Malkin:
Just don’t ask her about assassinations.

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST
A fuckwit says, and I quote from this story: http://www.edgesanfrancisco.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=local&sc2=features&sc3=&id=78839
“Appointed to head the HRC in March 2005, Solmonese’s most controversial decision remains his endorsement last fall of a version of the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act without transgender-specific protections. More than 350 LGBT and allied organizations from around the country formed the United ENDA Coalition as a direct challenge to HRC’s decision. Solmonese maintains a trans-inclusive ENDA simply did not have enough support on Capitol Hill.
He conceded the subsequent debate over ENDA has been challenging for not only his organization but the entire movement. Solmonese maintained, however, the HRC remains committed to securing Congressional support for a trans-inclusive bill.
Solmonese further categorized United ENDA’s mission as “trying to kill the bill.” Solmonese added more trans people have come to the HRC to see what they can do to help advance a trans-inclusive version of the bill.
He conceded, however, ENDA still faces a difficult road.
“Our community needs to understand… nothing gets done in a one- shot deal,” Solmonese said. “That’s never been a way we’ve built complex and sweeping legislation in this country.”
Despite persistent criticisms over its ENDA stance, Solmonese remains confident the HRC continues to have a positive impact on the lives of LGBT Americans. The organization counts roughly 800,000 members and has an annual budget of $40 million. And Solmonese said his membership remains enthusiastic about HRC’s mission and work in Washington and around the country.”
That echo of a scream you hear? That’s me.
Yeah, I’m opportunistic enough to take some of their 40 mill when its available, and spend it on T stuff.
But I know they will never do anything for transfolk that isn’t lip service.
And I always get the feeling even that is barely grudging.

When the wingnut is right, she right. It was likely a warning – just not the kind she thinks or from whom she thinks in her addled pated brain.
The right wing extremists are so upset over their continual loss of power that they are becoming terrorists.
I fear we’ll be seeing more of this over the next few months – and I doubt that the federal agencies tasked with looking at terrorism will give this threat the kind of reources it needs.

National, and even international, coverage of the shootings at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Church turned late this week into a discussion into whether it’s safe in America to be a liberal.

Becoming?
