Conservatives Now Lining Up to Defend Donald Sterling

We all knew this was going to happen. No matter what the situation, no matter what the cause, Republicans and conservatives always find themselves on the wrong side of every issue.

And you knew it was just a matter of time before racist Donald Sterling found support from the Conservatives. That support began Tuesday with a theory from a caller to the Rush Limbaugh radio program.

It is the caller’s belief that the whole issue is a plot to take the team away from Donald Sterling. The caller who identified himself as Niel, said that he hopes people rally around Sterling and of course, his theory found favor with the conservative host. The conspiracy was born.

“Whoever set this up is really good. They covered every base. They’ve got the media wrapped around their little finger,” radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday according to a report by Talking Points Memo.

“This is a fascinating theory. And, Neil, I’m glad that you held on through the break so I could dig deep, explore further,” he said, crediting the caller for the theory. “You know, you got it.”

Conservative blog Daily Caller reporter Patrick Howley questioned Magic Johnson’s involvement in the scandal. Below are some of the tweets from Howley:

And Allen West thinks Donald Sterling is being used to distract the world from the Fox News made up conspiracy called… Benghazi.

Yes, somehow you knew they would include Benghazi in the whole Donald Sterling fiasco.

West admitted that what Sterling said was deplorable, but… “But what is really concerning,” he continued, “as I listen to the sound-bite montage that you played, where is the outrage of the public? The outrage of the public seems to be totally focused on Mr. Sterling but, you know, you’ve got this thing with Benghazi and we have an even bigger lie, an even bigger deceit, which is even more impactful on the country that no one is really caring about.”

And… FREEDOM…

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly – Racism is “an individual problem, not a Country problem”

Well, what else do you expect from Fox? This is their message – that racism is dead and whatever little slither there is left, belongs to that slither along. This message is supported by racists and further underlined by the Supreme Court in last week’s Affirmative Action ruling. These folks really think racism is dead!

This House Republican Lied – Said Donald Sterling Is A Democrat

By now the entire world knows who Donald Sterling is – a verified racist who have been sued for his racist ways, and currently the owner of the LA Clippers.

Oh yea, Donald Sterling is also a registered Republican.

That last fact however, was either entirely missed by Republican Representative Sean Duffy (R-WI), or it was intentionally misused as an effort to distance the Republicans from racism – a feat that’s almost impossible to achieve considering some recent activities of the party.

In any case, Duffy was at a House Financial Services Committee hearing and felt the need to broadcast the lie that Sterling was a Democrat.

“We’ve all heard of the comments that were recently made by Mr. Sterling from the LA Clippers,” Duffy said, then he added, “who is a Democrat — made absolutely offensive comments.”

Again, Sterling voter registration says otherwise.

Hidden Camera Shows Bedridden Great-Grandmother Crying for Help 321 Times – Ignored by Staff

Carers ignored the desperate cries for help of bedridden 98-year-old woman despite her calling for assistance 321 times in a single hour.

Shocking secret footage filmed inside Oban House care home in Croydon, south London showed great-grandmother Yvonne Grant begging to be taken to the toilet for up to two-and-a-half hours.

Tragically the hidden camera, which was placed in the room by concerned granddaughter Vanessa Evans, captured the final undignified days of Ms Grant’s life, as she died less than a month later.

Ignored: 98-year-old great-grandmother Yvonne Grant begged to be taken to the toilet for up to two-and-a-half hours. Her carers apparently did not respond, despite being stationed directly outside her room

The secret footage forms part of a BBC Panorama investigation into abuse at care homes, which airs this evening.

Since Ms Grant’s death in January last year, two members of staff have been convicted of common assault over their treatment of the former seamstress, the Daily Mirror reported.

The footage shows the mother-of-four crying out for help hundreds of times in less than an hour, including making 45 requests to be taken to the toilet.

When a member of staff finally arrives two-and-a-half hours later, they instructed Ms Grant to use her incontinence pad – something she had never done before.

Cries for help: Since Ms Grant’s death in January last year, two members of staff have been convicted of common assault over their treatment of the former seamstress

Tragic: The hidden camera, which was placed in the room by concerned granddaughter Vanessa Evans, captured the final undignified days of Ms Grant’s life, as she died less than a month later

Ms Grant was then helped out of bed and told to walk to the toilet by herself. When she couldn’t manage it, the 98-year-old was dropped roughly back onto the bed.

It wasn’t until some time later that she was finally taken to the toilet.

Speaking to the newspaper, Ms Grant’s granddaughter Vanessa Evans,43, said: ‘When I saw the video I was devastated and fuming. But I can’t say I was shocked.’

‘I was expecting to find something but I didn’t think it would be this extreme. Her calls were definitely ignored because the nurse’s station is right outside the room,’ she added.

Ms Grant, who moved into the Oban House care home in 2010 after losing her RAF hero husband John 24-years earlier, died within days of her granddaughter telling her that she had placed a secret camera in the room and recorded her suffering.

Botched Execution Left Man in 40 Minutes of Agony Before He Died

Clayton Lockett spent forty minutes writhing in agony before dying of a heart attack

A death row inmate spent forty minutes writhing in agony before dying of a heart attack following a new cocktail of drugs administered in a lethal injection on Tuesday night.

Oklahoma prison officials halted Clayton Lockett’s execution after the  left the man writhing and clenching his teeth on the gurney.

The 38-year-old, who was found guilty of shooting a woman and watching his friends bury her alive, was declared unconscious ten minutes after the first of the state’s new three-drug lethal injection combination was administered.

Three minutes later, though, he began breathing heavily, writhing, clenching his teeth and straining to lift his head off the pillow.

It later emerged his vein had ruptured.

The blinds were eventually lowered to prevent those in the viewing gallery from watching what was happening in the death chamber, and the state’s top prison official eventually called a halt to the proceedings.

Lockett died of a heart attack a short time later, the Department of Corrections said.

Local media present said Mr Lockett sat up and said ‘something’s wrong’ 13 minutes into the procedure.

‘It was a horrible thing to witness. This was totally botched,’ said Lockett’s attorney, David Autry.

HOW THE BOTCHED EXECUTION PLAYED OUT!

6:23 p.m. – The injection process begins. Lockett has heavy, slow blinks, laid still

6:29 p.m. – Consistently closed his eyes

6:30 p.m. – First check of consciousness; still conscious

6:33 p.m. – Announced Lockett was officially unconscious

6:34 p.m. – Lockett started to move his mouth

6:36 p.m. – Lockett began convulsing and mumbling

6:37 p.m. – Lockett sat up and said ‘something’s wrong’

6:39 p.m. – Prison officials lowered the blinds

7:06 p.m. – Lockett dies of massive heart attack

Shaquille O’Neal Mocks a Disabled Man on Instagram – PIC

What would possess Shaq to do something like this is way beyond my understanding.

Considering all the negative publicity the NBA is getting these days with the racist Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his apparent dislike of black people, the last thing the NBA needs at this point is one of their own icons putting down the disabled. And that’s exactly what’s happening here.

On the left is Shaq himself and on the right is Jamel Binion. Binion is disabled, but that didn’t stop Shaquille from making fun of the man. He thought it would be funny to post this picture on his instagram.

FOX 2 reports the post, captioned “Smile today,” earned more than 14,000 likes, with former University of Michigan athlete Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame joining in on the teasing.

The post has been deleted. But for Binion, the damage has been done.

Alan Grayson Is Accusing His Wife of Bigamy

The Tamper Bay Times is reporting that when U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson married his wife, she was already wed to another man, according to a new court filing by the congressman’s lawyers, seeking an annulment on the basis of bigamy.

In new court paperwork filed in the couple’s divorce case last week, days before their 24th anniversary, Grayson, D-Florida, accuses Lolita Grayson of fraud, unjust enrichment and misrepresentation, among other claims.

He’s also suing for defamation, the new document states, stemming from a disturbance at their home in March. Lolita Grayson accused her husband of shoving her, but later dropped her petition for a domestic injunction.

Lolita Grayson’s attorneys did not immediately respond to a call or emails seeking comment on Tuesday.

Alan Grayson’s new filing, a counter-petition to her January divorce filing, states that when he met Lolita Grayson in 1985, she “represented herself as single in order to induce Mr. Grayson to marry her.”

This Viral YouTube Video Shows You How To See Without Glasses

Flickr/Helga Weber

Ever forget your glasses and need to see something, like read a menu or a text on your phone? Here’s an awesome trick posted on YouTube from Minutephysics. 

First you make a fist. Then open your fist just enough to create a tiny hole. Then peer through the hole at the object. Voila! You can see. You can even read. You don’t look like the coolest person in the room reading through your fist, but it works.

It works because limiting light to the eyeball increases focus, Minutephysics explains. Looking through pinholes is not a practical way to correct your vision full-time, as it also  limits peripheral vision, which is why we invented glasses and contacts.

Still, it works in a pinch. And that’s why this video has gotten so popular on YouTube.

Take a peek for yourself:

Glenn Beck – “Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman if it becomes popular.”

Have you ever hated someone so much, that you simply cannot stop thinking about them, can’t stop talking about them? Well that seems to be the the situation Republicans find themselves in. They simply cannot’t get the Hillary Clinton of their minds.

I hate to say this, but I’m beginning to think that Hillary Clinton satisfy some devious sexual fantasy in these Republicans. They simply cannot hate her that much.

I can understand hate if it’s based in reality. But when you make up a whole narrative and then base your hate on the stuff you made up, then you left me no choice but to call you a crazy lunatic Republican.

Glenn Beck is a crazy lunatic Republican.

In one of his recent broadcast, Glenn Beck pointed out some  politicians who were once against gay marriage but have now changed their minds. Hillary Clinton, a favorite target of the right right wing hate machine, was obviously mentioned.

It is apparently Glenn Beck’s belief that Hillary Clinton would become a lesbian if it means getting the gay vote.

“I’m telling you,” Beck said, “Hillary Clinton will be having sex with a woman on the White House desk if it becomes popular.”

NBA bans Donald Sterling for life, fines him $2.5 million for racial comments

 

The NBA has banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million for racial comments he made to his reported girlfriend. The NBA will immediately begin working to try to force him to sell the team.

“The hateful opinions voiced by that of the man [on the tape] are those of Donald Sterling,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said. “…I’m personally distraught the views expressed by Mr. Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations.”

As part of the ban, Sterling is not allowed “to attend any NBA games or practices, be present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team.” Sterling also will be barred from attending any Board of Governors meetings and participating in any other league activity.

The fine is the maximum the NBA can issue under the NBA constitution, Silver said. Seventy-five percent of the NBA’s owners must vote to oust Sterling to force him to sell.

“I fully expect to get the support needed,” Silver said.

Several groups hoping to purchase the Clippers are already stepping forward with a bidding war expected to exceed $1 billion for the franchise, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Among those groups, Magic Johnson and Guggenheim Partners will be front and center in pursuit of the Clippers.

Fox News Cannot Get This Republican To Say What Their Obamacare Replacement Plan Is

If Fox News – the people who are the authors of some of the Republican talking points against Obamacare – cannot get a Republican to disclose their secret Obamacare replacement, then who can?

Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) struggled to articulate a credible GOP alternative to the Affordable Care Act during an appearance on Fox News Monday morning, promising only to replace President Obama’s health care reform with “legislation that does give people more opportunities” and “better ideas.”

New Poll – Overwhelming Majority Tired With Talks of Repealing Obamacare

Mother Jones Reports – In December, sentiment for keeping the law was slim: keeping and improving Obamacare beat out repeal by only 43 to 42 percent. Today, Obamacare commands substantial support, 58 to 35 percent. The public may still harbor some doubts, but they’re increasingly tired of the debate and accept that the answer to Obamacare’s problems is to improve it, not to burn it to the ground.
