Fear and Loathing at the Netroots Conventions
— Ace

Liquid courage, my friends.

A pair of reporters from the Free Beacon infiltrated the convention. These are their stories of mystery and terror.

“When I think about the polar bears, I cry,” the young Netroots attendee sitting at the table next to us told his friend as he chowed down on a club sandwich.

...

I ran into Jon Carson, executive director of Organizing for Action.

“Oh, how about that?” Carson said when I introduced myself as a reporter for the Free Beacon. Then he artfully dodged my question about how he squares working for a 501(c)(4) organization closely aligned with the president.

“We’re focused on issues and advocacy,” said Carson, whose email address ends in “@barackobama.com.”

“There’s been (c)(4)s around a long time focusing on issues across the spectrum, and there’s nothing new about that at all.”

Translation of text:
"The Soviet Union is a 501(c)4 corporation!"

...

Then I found myself at a panel titled: “Free your Ass: Defining and Creating a Progressive Sexual Culture.”

Panelist Favianna Rodriguez, a new media artist, talked about her explorations into polyamory and kink.

“I’ll close it out with this image I created of an awesome sex party I went to,” Rodriguez said...


favianna.jpg
This just in from my penis: Nah bro

...displaying one of her paintings.

It was full of psychedelic colors and an arrangement of Picasso-style figures entangled in various sex acts. Kind of like Guernica, but with erections.


The loftiest purpose of art is to fill the viewer with a sense
of superiority that says, "I could do better than that with my feet"

...

A booth of artwork featured such revolutionary sloganeering as “Bradley Manning: Hero” and “Politicians off my poontang!”

Incidentally, the Netroots convention was almost completely white. Slightly less white than it had been in past years, because they made an effort to not have panels stocked floor to ceiling with white men. As had been the case in past years.

But still very, very white.


The panel also addressed the overwhelming pastiness of the confab.

“I want to touch on the lack of diversity at Netroots Nation,” one black audience member said to applause and nods of approval.

“It used to be worse,” Contee said. “That’s no defense, but I’m just saying it used to be much, much worse.”


It was whiter than this in years past?
How could that be?
Were there Yeti?

Netroots organizers go to great pains to overcome the pasty patriarchy. They donÂ’t allow panels with only white males, according to one blog.

The convention made pains to correct its previous cis-sexual normativity.

I don't know what that means either. But it has something to do with this:

Netroots also included several gender-neutral bathrooms and gave attendees tips on transgender etiquette.

“Please do not assume anyone’s gender, even people you may have met in the past,” advises the Netroots official program. “A person’s external appearance may not match their internal gender identity. Pay attention to a person’s purposeful gender expression.”

One little appendix to this story. I was curious about Netroots Nation's status as far as the IRS. I assume "Netroots Nation" is the same operation depicted here.

So I checked their website.

The article describes nothing except hardcore political activism, including never-ending tributes to unions and organizing for grassroots activism on behalf of the Democratic Party. In fact, some partygoers expressed their desire to turn the Netroots into the liberal Tea Party, so as to influence the Democratic Party more.

I didn't excerpt that kind of stuff because, while important, it's not sweet like Polar Bear Tears.

But at the bottom of Netroots Nation's website:

Netroots Nation is a 501(c)4 corporation.

I guess the IRS didn't see any flags here.

Clearly these people have never talked to The Chicken.   There's nothing fun about being violently pounded in the ass, is there, Chicken?

 

BTW,    I hope by "defining and    creating a progressive sexual culture" they mean "learning how to live with crotch rot and other genital diseases."

It was a reference to Alasdair MacIntyre "Nietzsche or Aristotle" is a chapter in his book.

Briefly he lays all of postmodernism at the feet of Nietzsche (perhaps because he was writing before/during Foucault.)

The whole idea of "morality and the world are what you want it to be and nothing more" is Nietzschian, although you're right the man would be depressed at what these fuckers have made of it.

Perhaps, I mean given that Nietzsche pined for Wagner's wife (who he obviously couldn't have) perhaps it's not that wrong of a comparison.  He was not an ubermensch by any stretch, and his life pretty much devolved into debauchery, until the syphilis got him and he died defending that horse.

101 Dear Penthouse, I went to the Netroots Nation convention, and found myself on a panel discusssion about “Free your Ass: Defining and Creating a Progressive Sexual Culture.” A panelist named Favianna Rodriguez, a new media artist, talked about her explorations into polyamory and kink. “I’ll close it out with this image I created of an awesome sex party I went to,” Rodriguez said, displaying one of her paintings. Favianna weighs 305 lb and stands 5 ft,4-1/2 inches tall, and has bad skin. Then I shit myself.

186 Sounds like the after-party was as expected:

The final after-after party took place on the 24th floor of the Marriott. A handwritten sign on the door of the hotel suite declared it “The HippieÂ’s Lair,” and it lived up to the name. As soon as I stepped in I hit a wall of swampy, tropical funk produced by the party-goers, who were jammed in the room like clowns in a telephone booth. I had seen enough of the Netroots.

Motorhead

 

Riots in the burning street


Crystal night outside


Brutal music in the night, enough to make you cry


Nobody knows how it is to sleep and drown the world


I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls


Outside in the distance, the city in the fire


See the houses burning down, mile after mile


I don't think you know about your future yet


I don't think you're gonna like the one you're gonna get


Ghost rider in the sky

 



Burner

 

Light outside my windows, victims on the floor


Rats in all the bedrooms, thunder at the door


Nobody knows anything, kill and wear a smile


Here come the pirates baby, don't you touch that dial


You ain't gonna hurt me, you won't put me down


This ain't no circus and I sure don't need no clowns


I can be the one that you can't be


I can see things that you can't see


Demons blind your eyes

 


Burner

 



Beat me like hammer, baby, stick me like a pig


Throw me to the lions, honey, wear me like a wig


I am not the only one to walk into the fire


I would rather burn then let them make me be a liar


I cannot be beaten, I cannot be like you


I cannot be otherwise, no matter what you do


I am the voice of broken glass


I am the voice to drive you mad at last


I am the truth, the liar turned around


 


Burner

Burner

Burner

Burner anyway

Posted by: Egyptian Jihadi at June 25, 2013 03:39 PM (AmWlQ) I hear you. My sainted Baptist aunt, who never married, drank, played cards, or otherwise sinned, taught the same 4th-grade Sunday School in San Antonio for more than 40 years. She was also the manager of a Wynn's store, which was the only place she ever worked in her life. She occasionally got promotional handouts, including the aforementioned bunny mugs and and Playboy glasses. She passed them along to my brother and me, who were highly amused as young teens. My parents never noticed what the bunnies on the mugs were doing (admittedly, it was disguised pretty well) and thought Playboy was all about girls in satin wardrobe wearing bunny ears. When dad passed away in 2009 and we moved mom into a fancy retirement center, my wife and I quietly ditched the mugs and glasses.

Black Sabbath

Close the city and tell the people
That something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward
To stamp light from the wall!


Oh! You've nothing to say
They'll drag you away!
If you listen to fools,
The mob rules, the mob rules


Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded
The end is always the same
Play with fire, you'll burn your finger
And you'll get hold of a flame, oh!


It's over, it's done
The end is begun
If you listen to fools,
The mob rules
You've nothing to say
Oh, They're breaking away
If you listen to fools


Break the circle and stop the movement
The wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling
And take you right back around!


You're all fools!
The Mob Rules!

Ah, but see, you are doing what all heteronormatively biased do. You are making an assumption based on appearance. I quote Netroots advice here: " “A person’s external appearance may not match their internal gender identity.". Well, hell's bells, if their 'internal gender' doesn't match their external gender, then it follows pretty easily..., very easily..., that internal race may not be the same as external race. So, don't believe your lying eyes.

326 In a massive restructuring, the U.S. Army is slashing the number of active duty combat brigades from 45 to 33, and shifting thousands of soldiers out of bases around the country as it moves forward with a longtime plan to cut the size of the service by 80,000. Officials say the sweeping changes would eliminate brigades at 10 Army bases in the U.S. by 2017, including in Texas, Kentucky, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina, New York, Kansas and Washington. The Army will also cut thousands of other jobs across the service, including soldiers in units that support the brigades, and two brigades in Germany have already been scheduled for elimination. Officials provided details on the plans on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. An announcement is expected Tuesday afternoon. The Army is being reduced in size from a high of about 570,000 during the peak of the Iraq war to 490,000 as part of efforts to cut the budget and reflect the country's military needs as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan end. Additional reductions could be required if Congress allows automatic budget cuts to continue into next year. While the cuts may have less impact at some of the Army's larger bases such as Fort Hood in Texas and Fort Bragg in North Carolina, they could be more painful for communities around some of the smaller installations such as Fort Knox, where currently only one brigade is based. The other seven U.S. bases that will lose a brigade are: Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Campbell in Kentucky, Fort Carson in Colorado, Fort Drum in New York, Fort Riley in Kansas, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. Soldiers in the deactivated brigades would be transferred to other units. Oh yeah I feel safer already. Gee I hope none of those Brigades have any gay soldiers in them, that would a shame ha?

356 Gotta love Texas. Via Daily Caller: Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced Tuesday his state will re-establish its voter ID law after the Supreme Court struck down a section of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that required certain states to seek federal approval before changing the electoral process. Congress must devise a new racial calculus to determine which counties and states must petition the federal government to change election laws, the majority announced. Texas greeted the ruling with plans to implement its suspended voter ID laws and district maps. “With today’s decision, the State’s voter ID law will take effect immediately. Redistricting maps passed by the Legislature may also take effect without approval from the federal government,” Abbott’s statement read.

This thing is not a "done deal".

It took a year for the 1986 Amnesty Bill to get voted on in the House.

 

I still think there is time for us to do a protest effort...aimed at the House.

 

But sending stinky Fish? ...I'm not sure they would even get through.

And Fish would likely get misconstrued as "death threats"...because of that 'Sleeping With The Fishes' thing in the Godfather.

 

What about sending...stinky socks?

 

We could send old socks, stinky socks...with messages like:

"This Bill Stinks Like An Old Sock"

or...

"Amnesty Stinks Like An Old Sock"

 

There are a lot of different ways to put it, really.

 

Socks dipped in tuna fish juice...would be pretty stinky, too.

And Socks wouldn't be perceived as a 'death threat' like Fish could be.

They have now had the fish in a can for over 4.5 hours and the FBI hasn't visited yet. Either they didn't consider it a threat or they're really slow on the job. Geesh You an send it what you like.

451 Speaking of fear and loathing, an email, one of a continuing series to a Senator: "Dear Sir, As immigration "reform" nears the end in the Senate, I just wanted to take this opportunity to offer my condolences to the good Senator on the Supreme Court's ruling today on the Voting Rights Act Extension, the extension of 25 years, which the Senator voted for, and which the Court ruled was a pretty blunt violation of the Constitution. Now it may be that the Senator voted for this extension back in 2006 because a lot of his friends are racist, and he assumed everyone else in STATE who is white is the same, and was thus afraid of what all those white folk, his good but evil friends, were going to do without DOJ oversight. I sort of doubt this, but the Senator may hang with a bad crowd, and at any rate, given the number of STATE businessmen who want to import cheap labor and depress wages, well, nothing would surprise me. But I am willing to go out on a limb and say that in fact none of the Senator's close friends and supporters are racist, and that thus what made the Senator choose in 2006 to vote to brand his home state as still so racist in nature that it needed another generation of enhanced monitoring was simply an unwillingness to stand on principle where issues of race were involved, because the media would have then demonized the Republican party. Since the Senate vote was unanimous, I can only assume the rest of the GOP felt the same. So, when we now turn to immigration, I have to say that I simply am not accepting that it is statecraft driving a single GOP vote, but instead is a simple unwillingness anytime race comes around to stand for principle, and a concomitant willingness to surrender the interests of one group because another group says they will call you bad things if you don't. Some might call that smart politics. I call it cowardice, appeasement, and sacrificing others to get votes. But don't mind me--in today's America, I'm starting to get used to being sold down the river by the poltical class, and especially the Senate GOP, because my color isn't trendy enough. I'm just white bread, you know? Nobody to get overly concerned about. So don't. Get the media off your back instead. It's not like the Senate GOP would do anything different anyway. So go forth and prosper. I thank you for your time. Sincerely, Constituent"

People of color don't have parent's basements that they can live in, so they actually, kinda have to work to have their own apartment/home.

Posted by: YIKES! at June 25, 2013 04:46 PM (mETGQ) People who have no sense of shame have a strong advantage at starting relationships, though those relationships tend to be destructive, abusive, and impermanent. This applies to politics as well as other things, and is a source of a great deal of human misery. On top of that, individualists don't even want to go out and tell other people what to do, so they mostly check themselves out of the campaigning process. Add to that the tendency of conservatives to have "other things to do" like jobs and taking care of family, and liberals have set up massive groups dedicated to obtaining government funds to fund their groups dedicated to obtaining government funds, and you pretty much have the "perfect storm." You know, I don't even know where I was going with that, other that "depression land."

499 Well, you know stinky socks could be a death threat too. It might mean you were planning to make a ligature with it. ;^) Maybe I'm completely out of the loop here, but I don't associate fish in a can with a death threat. If I got fish in a can without a note (because the note got lost) I'd think "Why is someone sending me sardines? Do I look malnourished or do they think that I need more Omega 3's in my diet? It's done. I'm not going to worry about it now. nor do I feel sorry for sending it If I don't have the stomach for dealing with any blowback from stinky fish I won't have it for whatever lies ahead. The other bonus is the can donate it to a food pantry which they can't do with old socks. But I applaud your creativity while still thinking a consistent message is better.

501 489, Estaban, its merely a general perception from GOP critics that the "Republican Party is too white, too far right, and too uptight." Remember also, the Tea Party Rally in Washington DC was not limited to Republicans. Some Democrats angry with government corruption also showed up to protest Congress as part of the Tea Party. And obviously, not everyone was white, given the PR staged program featuring mostly black musicians. But scanning the crowd from the camera overview, it looked "white" which means anything or nothing.

502 489, apologies w/ typo, Esteban@sven. So is that you, sven?

503 Not only is it all white, there was only 2 (with a possible 3rd) woman in the picture.

504 What'd she say that they caught?

That she heard figures running left 2 right (seemingly significant to the state's case) but it's not in any of her prior statements to police.  First time mentioned is here at trial.  Also, she facebook liked some Travelon supporting page.

505 I am SO sick and fucking tired of this horseshit progressive "sexual identity" reassignment idiocy. If you have a dick, you're a man. If you have a vagina, you're a woman. Ok ? Period. You want to be a man who dresses like a woman ? Go for it. You want to pursue surgery to lop off your naughty bits you were born with and sew on new ones ? Great. Doesn't change the definition of the fucking words. Cis-gender just means you were born with man parts and still call yourself man or were born with woman parts and call yourself a woman. Is that NOT the dumbest fucking thing you've ever heard of ? That shit is out of control stupid.

You know, the only thing whiter that Netroots Nation is Michael Moore's neighborhood.

That, and the underside of his impressive man-rack.

507 Forgive my stupidity, naivete or heteronomativity (sp?)) but what does the "cis" mean in cis-gneder?

508 Ace "Then I found myself at a panel titled: “Free your Ass: Defining and Creating a Progressive Sexual Culture.” ?? Does that mean that somehow all of a sudden there you were....... Or that it was there that you discovered the real Ace???

510 'The convention made pains to correct its previous cis-sexual normativity. I don't know what that means either.' I looked this up the other day, because the Penny Arcade Expo was called "cis male bigotry". Now CIS male bigotry means, when you see a 300 pound lumberjack with a full beard and boots and a clear erection in his pants showing he has male genitalia as well... you call him a man. He might want to be a girl... so you should never call a man a man just because he has all of a man's parts and none of a lady's parts. CIS bashing is different from "trans-bashing" because if you assume the gender someone is both born with AND currently has is in any way defining, you're still a bigot. I'm only a girl when I need to use the women's shower at the gym now... and if you disapprove of me peeping in the women's shower you're cis bigoted. Oddly "cis bigoted" is what we used to call "anti-sick-pervert"... who knew.

511 “Please do not assume anyone’s gender, even people you may have met in the past,” advises the Netroots official program. “A person’s external appearance may not match their internal gender identity. Pay attention to a person’s purposeful gender expression.” See, that's why I always refer to Lindsey Graham as Sweetie...

512 As long as my Russian isn't totally screwed up, the poster there declares that the "State and the army are one" (or united, however you want to take it). A fitting sentiment for this day in age, comrade, yes?
