PSAP is going MULTIMEDIA with this gem.

Wikileaks Taking Another Dump

polisciafterparty — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 20:56:29 +0000

And it’ll be the biggest dump ever. (Wired)

Given our widely divergent views on Julian Assange, I figured it was worth noting that his organization is planning another document dump in the near future. Of particular note is the organization’s recognition of U.S. complaints that their release of information had harmed U.S. citizens. They are reviewing all the material carefully to ensure that such isn’t the case. Make of that what you will.

What is it about nine years?

polisciafterparty — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:41:27 +0000

Tomorrow the country will be observing the nine year anniversary of the September 11th attacks and in the nine years since the attacks occurred, I can’t remember a greater level of intolerance and fear directed towards Muslims.

Why? Is it just the Cordoba House? Is it the economy? Have we just grown so tired of the wars “against Muslims”? It seems as though every time Muslims try to open a Mosque or some sort of Islamic center, there is strong local opposition (see: Midland Beach, Staten Island). Do you this happening as often in the past? Or is it all the media?

What is it about the ninth anniversary?

Obama family goes to Europe; Conservatives go deeper into hate.

polisciafterparty — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:56:12 +0000

Yes, it has been a while for us here at the PolisciAfterparty, and I’m not sure just how often posts will be coming, but for right now, we are back. And I tell you, I loved, during our little break, that we didn’t have to encounter any stupid, probably deep-south, conservative bigotry regarding the First Family…oh wait, thats not right at all…

This photo was taken of Malia Obama wearing an anti-nuclear weapons T-shirt. Well, the fantastic human beings over at the Free Republic website (please note the sarcasm) took to bashing this picture with some of the most tasteful comments I have ever seen (after the break)…

“we;’re being represented by a family of ghetto trash.”

“Looks like a bunch of ghetto thugs. A stain on America.”

“Looks like a typical street whore.”

“What we now are sending the ghetto over to represent us. and if so who the hell is that flea bag who looks to be dragged from the trash dumpster.”

“you could go down any ghetto right now and see exactly the same.”

“could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there”

“the world must be laughing like mad right now at that we have this kind of street trash in our white house.”

“This disgusting display makes me more and more eager for the revolution.”

“Wonder when she will have her first abortion.”

“They make me sick…. The whole family… mammy, pappy, the free loadin’ mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin’, and especially ‘lil cuz… This is not the America I want representin’ my peeps.”

The last two are my personal favorites. Now, I just want to say one thing before I continue. I have several conservative friends, they are good people. But these are not conservatives. These are the dredges of society that are using any chance they get to spew hate.

Now, for the most part, we here at PSAP were never really in love with the Dubya Administration, but what we had issue with was his policies and his decision making as Commander in Chief. We never used his family to get points across. What is being done to these poor people, especially the children, just because they happen to be African-American is wrong and disgusting. Whoever wrote some of these horrible comments, and there are many more, should be utterly ashamed of themselves, not only as Conservatives, but as human beings

Thanks to this article at DailyKos for filling me in on this and giving me the comment summaries. It also links to the Free Republic comment section for this picture. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/7/9/751767/-Obama-daughter-wears-t-shirt,-Freepers-call-her-ghetto-trash

frazzled over twitter

polisciafterparty — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 03:12:33 +0000

Can someone please explain to me – either in a comment or a whole new post altogether – what the point of Twitter is? I signed up for an account but can’t figure out why anyone could possibly need it as a social networking tool, or what I’m supposed to do with it overall.

+5 points, maybe some chocolate chip cookies, and lots of hugs to the first person who can sell me on the twitter crack phenomenon. thanks, love, amy.
