It must be difficult working for FOX. It's got to be a tough tightrope to walk, being racist enough to keep your octogenarian Archie Bunker core audience happy, but leaving yourself enough plausible deniability to be able to claim "I wasn't being racist!" "Hey, all I said was that the guy was a ghetto thug from the 'hood who was probably smoking crack. I never said anything about him being black!"
She was "no saint?" Since when is that the point? Since when is being a "saint" a pre-condition for expecting decent treatment from police?
Hey, he isn't St Abban of Murnevin - Get him!!!
“The girl was no saint, either,” Kelly said of Dajerria Becton. “He had
told her to leave, and she continued to linger. When a cop tells you
to leave, get out.”
Oh. Oh, she lingered? SHE LINGERED? Why didn't you say so? Throw the book at her. Lingering! What is wrong with the youth of today?
Kelly also told her guests, former Los Angeles Police Detective Mark
Furhman and radio host Richard Fowler, that the incident had been turned
“into a race thing,” and wondered whether it was justified.
Mark Furhman? You're asking Mark Fucking Furhman about "race things?"
Um, I gotta say. . . if you have Mark Fucking Furhman as a contributor on your network, you're not even trying to veil your racism anymore.
Safe!
The police managed to somehow keep him safe!
The heroic McKinney cops managed to keep this grown man safe from her:
How are you not ashamed?
How can you stand there, in public, thanking the police for protecting you from a 14-year-old girl in a swimsuit?
Don't you have any shred of dignity?
I'm not exactly sure who Rick Wiles is, but he seems to be someone who's allowed to have a radio show. A radio show to which people listen. A radio show people take seriously. I mean, not all people. Probably not all that many. I hope. (One site says he has over 100,000 listeners)
At any rate, I saw a brief article about this radio person on RWW:
On the Friday edition of “Trunews,” Religious Right broadcaster Rick Wiles interviewed “the mother of a toddler who prophesied that the ‘King is Coming!’”
The mother, Chelsea Hansen, who said that she has been “following End
Times for about four years,” told Wiles that she has had her own prophetic dreams, including one about how President Obama is “distracting” Americans from knowledge of God’s imminent judgment. That’s all it took to convince Wiles, who said that Hansen’s dream is
proof that Obama will soon “solve the Middle East crisis” to distract
Americans.

Her toddler. Her toddler prophesied that "the King" is coming. Even though he has, as we've been told so many times, left the building.
Well, sure. I mean if a toddler says it, ya gotta take that seriously. One time, my friends' 3 year old told me "Cookie Monster Big Bird Elmo" and sure enough, all three of them appeared on the tv screen the moment her mom pressed "play" on the DVD, just as the prophecy foretold! It was eerie!
Although, another toddler recently picked up a leaf off her dads' lawn, handed it to me and declared "sharing!" And that prophesy has yet to be fulfilled, so I guess you gotta take these things with a grain of salt. Or maybe I just don't have the depth of wisdom needed to interpret this kind of prophetic pronouncement. I should really ask a minister.
Also, it's really good to know that dreams are really a foreshadowing of things to come. I look forward to hitting the winning homer in next year's World Series as well as playing onstage with the ghost of Jerry Garcia.
The amazing thing about this whole thing is that the mother actually posted a video of her toddler babbling in her crib in which she does seem to maybe say the word "coming" several times as well as the word "up" a bunch too, and somehow this all adds up to "my 2-year-old is a Prophet of the LORD!!!)
Here is her description of the video on YouTube:
At midnight (hours before this video was taken) Lily woke us up,
knocking and talking at her door. She was saying, with urgency,
"Something's coming! Something's coming!"
Ooh, something? Something is coming? Could it be Winter?
Honestly, if my two year old came knocking on my door at midnight saying "something's coming, something's coming," I would move the Hell out of Amityville right away!
Something's Coming, Mrs Torrance!
She elaborated on her dream vision later in the day.
"Dream vision." or, as it's more commonly known, A FUCKING DREAM.
She elaborated on her dream vision later in the day. I managed to catch this video.
At
18 seconds after I take out her paci and I say "what?" she says, "The
King." It also sound's like she says "Abba up, push you up" and "join
Abba up" several times. You can't make this stuff up!
Fortunately, you don't have to. Because toddlers babble incoherently, often repeating random words or sounds that are kinda word-like and if you losten long enough, you can convince yourself that they're reciting poetry or placing wagers on horse races, or giving some weird, vague "prophecy" like "Abba up, push you up, join Abba up" (copyright 1974 Bjorn Ulvaeus)
It makes more sense in the original Swedish
I didn't teach her this. Excuse the poor angle, I was attempting to
sneakily turn on and hide the camera. At the end, she bows 3 times...the
number God uses for confirmation.
Or, she bangs her head against the cushion, but I'm pretty sure that has biblical significance as well.
The next day, she brought it up again (while I was getting her
breakfast.) She said to me, "Mama, open up, because GOD is coming" and
then proceeded to knock on the wall 3 times.
Ohhhh, the coherent version came the next day when the camera wasn't rolling. When the camera was on, it was all gaga googoo jibberish, but that one time you forgot to film her, she spoke clearly in complete sentences and perfect English grammar.
Yep. Ain't that always the way?
No, I couldn't teach her this, she JUST turned 2 and is just starting to
really come up with diverse words and sentences clearly.
Yeah, no one thinks you taught her any of this. You don't have to teach her the part on the video, and the part in the kitchen didn't happen, so no one's accusing you of staging this. Also, in the video there are no sentences. Even if we use your interpretation of the jibberish, "Abba up, push you up" is not any kind of a sentence that would come from a child capable of forming the sentnece "Mama, open up because GOD is coming." That's perfect syntax. If her language skills were that advanced, she wouldn't be yammering on about "push you up" or whatever.
Her best understanding of God prior to this was nightly bedtime
prayers, and we had yet to discuss the rapture or His second coming with
her (being that she is of course so young).
Yes, so young that she wouldn't really be capable of forming any understanding of such a complex concept as "God," let alone know that He is sometimes referred to as "Abba" or that his return to Earth has been predicted for the last 2 millennia. But, yes, I'm sure that the Almighty would choose as his messenger someone who can not be understood by anyone who hears her. That just makes perfect sense.
Menh, I work in mysterious ways!
And she closes, as one might expect, with a bit of relevant Scripture:
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old
men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Joel 2:28
Your toddlers will form random words.
Anyway, here's the video. It's worth watching. It's short and the kid is cute. But don't expect a lot of spiritual enlightenment from it. For that, you need cats playing keyboards.
So Megyn Kelly decided that it would be a good idea to have the molestation-enablers, Jim-Bob and Michelle Duggar on for a friendly interview. I've embedded the video below, if you have the stomach for it. I didn't. I made it to about 1:20 before I had to turn it off, smash the monitor, or throw up. I turned it off. Listening to this mother who clearly feels like the real victims here are herself, Jim-Bob and Josh was just too sickening.
Sample quote "The one ray of hope was Josh has a tender conscience and came to us himself."
Fortunately, Think Progress has someone with the iron constitution to view this sick trainwreck and report it to us.
Breaking his silence on Fox News, Jim Bob Duggar repeatedly minimized
the actions of his son Josh, who sexually molested several of the
Duggar daughters.
“He had gone in and just basically touched them over their clothes
while they were sleeping. They didn’t even know he had done it,” Jim Bob
said. Later Jim Bob admitted there “were a couple incidents where he
touched them under their clothes, but it was like a few seconds.”
Holy frickin Christmas cake!
If you're trying to salvage your family's reputation, this is pretty much the exact wrongest way to go about it.You could not show more callous disconcern for your daughters, who were victimized by your son under your roof. You're really going to try to minimize this? Oh, they were asleep, they didn't even know it happened. Because someone suddenly stroking your genutals is not something that would wake a person up.
Oh, and it doesn't really count because it was "over the clothes." He never , ever put his hands under their clothes. well. . . .
Hardly Everrrrrr!!!
I'd love to know how the Duggar parents would react if one of their daughters came home from a date and said "I got felt up, but don't worry, it was over the clothes, so I'm still pure!" I'm guessing that loophole doesn't apply to consensual feel-copping.
He emphasized that “this was not rape or anything like that.”
Right, it wasn't "Rape" rape! What's the big deal?
Throughout the interview, Jim Bob returned to these themes. He
emphasized again and again that some of the instances occured while his
daughters were sleeping and the molestation occured over their clothes.
(At the same time he acknowledged that, in other cases, his daughters
were awake and groped underneath their clothes.)
Jim Bob also attempted to characterize Josh’s behavior as
commonplace. “We talked to other parents and different ones since then, a
lot of families have said that they’ve had similar things happen in
their families,” he said.
Seriously? This is a common occurrence in your circles?
How could that possibly. . . oh, right. Weirdo religious cult. I forgot.
“He was still a kid, you know, and he was still a juvenile. He wasn’t an adult,” Jim Bob explained.
He also sought to deflect blame from himself. Jim Bob told Megyn Kelly that “kids will make their own choices.”
Right, of course. That's the usual conservative approach to kids who commit crimes. Only a lad, you really can't blame him. . . Oh no, wait. The conservative answer to juvenile offenders is "lock 'em up and throw away the key, unless you think this might warrant the death penalty, 'cuz that could work too."
It's almost like there are two sets of standards for folks like this.
Drug offenders should do hard time, except for Rush Limbaugh who probably had a good reason for needing oxy.
Unwed teen moms are destroying the country, except Bristol Palin who's a role model for girls everywhere!
Sex offenders should be punished to the full extent of the law. Unless they've asked God for forgiveness and it wasn't really, ya know, "rape" exactly. I mean, hey, it's not like he tried to marry a dude or something!
Of course, being a right-wing theocrat in America means never taking any responsibility for your own actions!
Here's the video, if you're interested. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Oh, P.S. I'm aware that "disconcern" is probably not a real word. But I like it, so it stays.
Hey, Shakespeare made up words all the time, ya gotta love it!
