— Ace Good questioning here.
Samantha Guthrie of NBC contends heroically to get an answer out of this fat sick of giggly shit, but he evades and evades.
A CNN reporter, Ed Henry, also tries to get a straight answer. FAIL.
Thanks to justkarl for the last clip.

Of course people are concerned about the process. The process of how a bill in enacted is fundamental to democracy. In violating said process, you violate the Constitution and what this Republic stands for.

I was happy to see a little bit of pushback, but considering that this is a coup in progress, I found the questioning still far too tame. And this is an attempted coup.
I am also saddened that no one in the press had the wherewithall or brains to bring up the Honduras situation, as it is an eerie parallel to what we are seeing, except that Honduras had most of its government trying to save its Constitution, not destroy it as ours is working hard towards.

It's amazing this is still a huge blog with a huge readership, when you think about the limitations. The content and writing is always interesting and novel, aside from a lot of hot air overlap. It's a great blog I read every day.
But why hold itself back? It would be great if this blog would permit normal freaking hyperlinks and fix its other few hassles. Comment threads are where people come together to hype other links, make arguments, build stories virally. You have a hard time doing that here, and I think it has really reduced the quality of this 'community'. Like I said, I'm a fan of the blog and think it must be pretty special to grow with this flaw in place.
I know this is a different issue from someguy's that the video doesn't work (there are reliable video hosting services, ya know). But a link is the essential factor in the internet, so if I paste a URL into this comment, it shouldn't fail. I know there are workarounds, but they are really stupid.

Gee, if I was a member of the press who had to sit and listen to Beltway Bob spin, duck and obfuscate all the while he was sporting his smug little prick-face, I would seriously be very tired of this crap. He is not a likeable, affable guy, and I'm surprised that they haven't pushed back more on him just because he's a total tool and doucherag. I am still waiting for the floodgates to open. I don't know if they ever will. But I'm crossing my fingers because I want to see Gibbs fricking drown.

Not really when you consider how corrupt and dishonest the Democrats are. I'll bet they all got a memo from San Fran Nan to do that. Shoot, she was probably running through the corridors of The Russell Senate Building early this a.m. doing just that.

they have been off the hook since December. That is what james o'keefe was doing in senator landwhale's office. Checking the phones.
So, call the local offices and fax and email

Nothing.
And here are 10 reasons why:
1) The blog owner doesn't wake up until noon.
2) I donate to GOPac. So, I already gave at the office.
3) This blog copies much of its work from another blog on the internet that I donate to that does original reporting.
4) This blog's commenting system sucks.
5) This blog will ban you if you don't toe a certain line.
6) This blog is advertiser supported.
7) The Republican Party should be paying for bloggers such as these since that's what the Democrat Party does. (Pay by advertising here).
This blog doesn't understand the internet.9) The guys get shirts.
10) None of these fucking guys have shirts.

That would only be an issue for displayed text. The length of links in actual hyperlinks whose addresses aren't displayed wouldn't make a difference either way. I can understand the restriction of long lines that are displayed (though that also shouldn't be a problem as the comment divs should have their overflow hidden, anyway) but I don't get it for the actual link addresses.
P.S. I really, really, really hate tinyurl. I don't like clicking on them (because I don't know where they go) and I hate the whole idea of them.
But ... this isn't fatal. Just a bit annoying. I restrict my linking in comments, here, because of this.

I doubt your blog is this good.
Jeez. Show some respect. Also, you're full of shit with regard to bannings. You have to be an idiot to get banned from here. Nothing worse than a liar.

figures. i didn't know that.
progress over peace, there is a nice firefox add-on that will let you see the destination of tinyurl links. I too find it to be a tremendous hassle and I think it degrades discussion, since it's harder for a lot of people to make the kinds of claims you would backup with evidence, or present an interesting story.

I think the MSM business offices are finally waking up to the realization that the liberal-slanting shows aren't exactly big moneymakers. CNN just hired Erick Erickson from RedState to be a talking head; if they're jumping on the Conservative bandwagon, the rest of the media can't be far behind (here's hoping).
That gal from NBC looks like a real go-getter; it's possible that she has figured out where the real action is going to be over the next couple of decades, and has decided to be at the forefront of this wave, making a name for herself.
Plus, if I'm not mistaken, many of the higher-ups at these media outlets are Jewish (I'm guessing - I live in Texas and couldn't tell you who is and isn't Jewish around these parts; it's never really been much of an issue, to be honest), and given what the Obambis have been saying and (not) doing regarding Israel lately, he hasn't exactly endeared himself to them....
This could get really interesting really fast.

I was asked why I haven't hit the tip-jar. I responded with some good reasons why.
That's not being bitchy. Being bitchy would be critiquing this blog without being asked to. I was asked why I haven't hit the tip jar.
I come here. I read the blog. I find some of it entertaining - it's sometimes hilarious. I find most of it derivative and just shy of plagiarism.
It's useful I guess. But not enough to give my hard-earned money to.
It could be, but Ace doesn't want it to be great.
So, that's why he don't get shirts.

I don't. I also don't pay for loose shit. Loose shit is available everywhere for free. Loose Shit is a commodity that doesn't command much in the market.
If you want tip-jar money ... if you want the big advertising contracts ... if you want to be considered a player ... if you want to influence people ... you have to be able to write a post that at a minimum:
1) Gets the name of a major media personality correct
2) Incorporates a functional link.
Kind of the basics of the internet, ya know?
Just some solicited free advice.

I know what you;'re saying someguy (and if this is the original someguy, you have grounds to bitch), but where do you get these "goals" from?
If ace is making rent and food, and happy about it, who are you to say he needs more?
And as far as influencing people, even though AOS is a dirty secret among a lot of opinion makers, they are still AOS lurker addicts.

I'm not saying he needs more. Again, I was responding to someone who asked if I had hit the tip-jar and I responded with some good reasons why I have not.
If Ace is satisfied to put up posts that don't get basic facts correct and don't contain a functional link and is able to pay his rent on that kind of performance ... more power to him.

If they're on TV, they're influencing people.
And if we wish to take over the government from the Marxists who are now passing laws without even holding votes on them, we'd better understand at a minimum who the enemy propagandists are and be able to get their fucking names right.
That seems kind of basic to me.

if that's your methodology of determining that someone is a major media personality, then you might want to rethink your statement. I watch the news like a hound, never heard of her. she neither has the influence of a Major Garret, nor the influence of someone like Jake Tapper. She's at best third rate.
You using her as some kind of household name to bash on ace's loose shit, is weak at best.

I don't give a shit that you don't give money, though if you don't give money your complaint is kinda weak. In other words, you are getting this service for free, and whining like a baby about it. I'm also complaining, but in a more constructive and honest manner. You're saying 'this sucks'. I'm saying 'this would improve this great site that I appreciate'.
You spin that around to 'how dare you demand my money!', but that's also dishonest. Perhaps you're a great contributor. A lot of good ones aren't here anymore, so I hope you don't leave too. But the technical and editing fuck ups on this site don't change the fact that this site provides substantial original commentary, humor, and is worth a read daily.
