Gohmert Rhetoric Echoes Racist Militia Talk

Chevron Wants Your Emails

A federal judge recently granted a subpoena that allows Chevron to gain access to a decade's worth of metadata from various parties that had previously filed suit against them. This could mean that from this point forward, anyone who chooses to go up against the oil giant could fall victim to NSA-like behavior by Chevron. What does this mean for big corporations in the future? Ring of Fire hosts Mike Papantonio and Sam Seder discuss this.

Where The Hell Is The Outrage?

The following segment originally aired on the July 28th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. Americans are being put through the ringer by corporate America on everything from the corrupt financial elites on Wall Street to the massive amounts of pollution being spewed by corporations.

Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio tries to answer that question with Richard Eskow from the Campaign for America's Future.

Right Wing Border Militias

The following segment originally aired on the July 28th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV.

The Koch's Media Machine

The following segment originally aired on the July 28th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Koch Brothers have mastered the art of the bounce concept. They launch a small idea by way of a fake website and that talking point then climbs the ladder through the conservative echo chamber. They use this to not only spread lies, but to launch personal attacks against journalists. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio talks about this with attorneys Howard Nations and David Hersh.

Obama Removes Whistleblower Protection Website

Mike Papantonio and David Bender discuss Bradley Manning's verdict, as well as President Obama's removal of specific whistleblower content from his 2008 campaign website.

As an exercise using archive.org, I located information regarding whistleblowers at change.gov that existed on February 13, 2013. In this video David Bender quoted a portion of it verbatim. That text still exists unchanged at http://change.gov/agenda/ethics_agenda/:

Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.

Maybe they're referring to some other text? Maybe it's been replaced? Nice detective puzzle in any case.

UPDATE: After more research, this whole story doesn't add up. The above is indeed the text that was allegedly scrubbed but it wasn't. The Sunlight Foundation supposedly claimed the text was no longer viewable after it was archived on June 8th but now it appears in the next, the June 13th archive. They're also claiming that the whole website vanished but it's there.

This is particularly funny after listening the Pap's previous video about the "bounce concept." LOL!

Tea Baggers Dismantle Obamacare

The Tea Party made repealing the Affordable Care Act the cornerstone of the 2010 midterm elections and it helped catapult them onto the national stage. And in the last three years they haven't budged one inch in their efforts to destroy healthcare reform, even though it's providing coverage to people who would otherwise have to go without healthcare. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio discusses the continued assault on the Affordable Care Act with India DeClair, host of the I Declair radio program. India is a prime example of just how powerful citizens' media can be if we become active, take a stand, and are willing to help offer solutions to problems instead of simply complaining.

Last Breath of Air For Conservative Rats

There are plenty of experiments that have been done that show that when you cage rats in an area with limited space, and limited food, those rats will become ruthless to the point that they destroy and even cannibalize each other in the end. It's called the principle of competitive exclusion.

It's what we can expect to see happening now that the Oxycontin windbag is not so sure about what the future holds for him and his gold Limbaugh microphone. Chances are, even if Cumulus does allow that $20 million dollar a year waste of money which they pay the washed up dinosaur to continue his hate radio, things will be different going forward. Yes, some other old world radio executive will find a home for the Rush hate talking has-been -- he doesn't just amble off to the elephant dying grounds like he should if he wasn't so shameless. But hate talk radio is experiencing a sea change that will inevitably cause rats to eat rats.

The best example I can give is the Michelle Malkin -- Ann Coulter story.

If you spend much time in the web blog world you probably have noticed that the hate hags have become even creepier than usual.

Michelle Malkin has stepped up her putrid hate language against immigrants, suggesting that they need to be punished; that militia border patrols should keep immigrant vermin out of her country -- even though it was less than 40 years ago that her parents, Apolo and Rafaela Maglalang , citizens of the Phillipines, became immigrants with green cards and made a better life for themselves and their little bundle of hate-filled joy, known as Michelle. Michelle Maglalang, now Malkin, has spread around so much anti-immigrant hate that it has come full circle on her even within her own Filipino fellow immigrant community.

This is a woman who is so despised by immigrants that she had to leave L.A. in a hurry in 1996 because the Mexican Mafia had threatened her life. She just has that special kind of personality that people love to hate.

So why would the little malignant Malkin be so willing to keep turning up her immigrant hate message along with the dozens of hate lines she uses almost every day? Well, it's simple. Even the lunatic cable T.V. networks have only so much time they can devote to Star Magazine female hate freaks like Malkin and her gutter mouth sister, Ann Coulter. There is a limited amount of real freakish hate time available.

So now the real edgy hate freaks are more and more competing for time -- whatever time they can get on the cableways, even if it is five minutes here and ten minutes there.

Because of that, we now have the hate hags Malkin and Coulter pushing the outer limits to make themselves look and sound even more like pathetic circus freaks so they can compete for that measly five minutes of cable airtime. We will also begin to see more and more of that with the Michael Savage hate talking type freaks now that they see Limbaugh bleeding.

And Limbaugh is bleeding. He lost $3 million dollars worth of ad revenue for Cumulus in just the first quarter of 2013 because even advertisers understand that hate radio may be in trouble.

Sponsors had boycotts of their products and in turn they are usually willing to pull their sponsorships when hate talkers like the fat man call decent people like Sandra Fluke a slut. And worse.

Add to that Millenials, X-ers, Women, and minorities who regard the Limbaugh blob as yesterday's crazy uncle joke.

And those demographics change a radio network's bottom line profits. So the Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin scenario begins to play itself out. The hate talkers like Coulter focus their shrew-like faces on a TV and tell us that other women besides her are too stupid to vote or that we should convert all Muslim orphans to Christianity. The hate meter ticks up, the diminishing demographics of aging, angry, excitable, pale, frail males listens and cheers for a few minutes. Coulter edges Malkin out of the rat cage for a few minutes. But at the end of all that, there are still a few realities.

Their audiences are dying off. They are rapidly migrating to that wingnut, crazy world in the sky. There simply are not enough Teabagger crazies to sustain a living for the hate talker crowd, not enough room in the cage, not enough rat cheese to go around.

Competitive exclusion where rats eat rats is when there are too many in the same cage -- well, that's playing itself out.
