Pistol Pete Sessions: All Koched Up
It was not enough for Texas Congressvarmint Pete Sessions to be linked to Jack Abramoff, Blimpgate with his aide Adrian Plesha, $44,000 and fancy trips to Fire Island as gifts from Alan Sanford, $30,000 from the Wyly Brothers, and a $1,000,000 below market rate loan Countrywide Financial (yes, the troubled mortgage lender) that he never disclosed on his financial disclosure form.
Nope, if there’s a money scumbag left unopened, Pete Sessions will find it, exploit it, and move on to devour more and more dirty money.
In fact, when he dies, they’ll have to bury him at Fort Knox.
And he’s currently snorting Koch.
He’s so slick he can’t keep his socks up.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Thanks for the link. I looked it over and found they dropped $5K on my lizard like senatevarmint, Vitter. Vitter was hiding behind an assumed name, Louisiana Reform PAC. I don’t know what he needs to reform besides himself.
1Did he look in the mirror before that picture was taken? His comb over is reaching spider resting on an ostrich egg proportions.
2You hae a great site, which I found it earlier. What good energy. You don’t try to persuade the brainwashed, which is impossible anyway.
I blame much of the insanity, hate, and lies on the proliferation of hate radio and FOX SPEWS. There was once — like 40 years ago — honest differences of opinion, and even GOPs understood the need for SOME balance in taxes, regulation, ect.
But since then the linquistic tirades, mostly by demogouges like Rush Limbaugh really perverted the minds of so many. I saw it happen to family members, who listened to Rush and then just swallowed the whole thing. He had no clue Rush was not factual at all. And didnt care. He is of course a lot cause now. Multiply that by millions, especially with FOX spews and they researched phraseology, designed and repeated talking points, endlessly repeated.
Stupid people have to be told who to hate, and then rewarded for it, by a feeling of being in a group. A we vs them mentality, a HATE THEM because they are the devil mentality.
SO FOX SPEWS and hate radio have their sheep hate – HATE WITH A PASSION. They can’t drive 55, they have to drive 155. They have absolutely no doubts, and Obama is evil, and out to destroy America. They believe that. It’s kinda like the fee they pay to be in the club. To belong.
Sadly, this is human nature, and FOX spews/ hate radio tapped into it.
In recent books by a philosophy professor at Princeton, ON Bullshit, and On Truth, a guy named Franfort essentially said people do not care that much about truth. IN quite sophisticated double talk, he said what we all know. People care more about social status, and social identification than truth.. SO if your propaganda can get into that force, sort of ride in that wave, use that energy, you can fool many stupid people. And even people who are not so stupid.
This explains so much of human behavior, why for example, so many people seemed to agree slavery was ordained of God, and all that. WHy people would join the Nazi party.
You can use that propaganda tools for “the good ” too, but it’s harder because if you are trying to be truthful and honest, it’s hard to compete against hate and blame. People are drawn to powerfully spoken and absolutely self confident men. Rush, for example. ANd once you get hooked into that, once you accept their verbal framework, it takes an intervention to pull you out of that cult.
SO you have people who believe in their BONES Obama is trying to destroy America. Rush Hannity Boortz etc have to be MORE self confiden, MORE hateful, MORE we vs they to get the raitiings. People love those easy answers that blame the other guy, and promise you the moon.
This is a real problem and one that will take maybe generations to adress. WE really need to teach our kids how propaganda works, but much propaganda is religious connected, and so off base to talk about or teach in schools. I see no reason to hope for a change, unless our education system teaches kids more critical thinking.
Thank God for Jon Stewart, Colbert, they are most effective at exposing it. But we need to teach it in school from early on –that you need critical thinking. That you should question everything and be leery of dogmatic hateful leaders, especially those who claim God told them to run, and that God is on there side, and they are closer to God than someone else
