If you don’t want to be accused of being a purely partisan Board… don’t be one. If you want to be purely partisan, as every action they take proclaims, be proud of it. Is that so hard?
There’s a ton of these. Not a new meme.
Haven’t heard much of late out of the Independence Institute . . .
. . . kind of nice to see they’re still screwing the pooch!
Signed,
Dick from the Internet*
(h/t this week’s Dilbert strips)
Saw that strip, and immediately thought of another Dick who could do this…
Long story, but not related to here or politics in general.
Jeffco School Board majority needs to admit that they’ve already lost the war. They’ve lost credibility, lost the faith of the parents and students and teachers of the district that they have anything like their best interests at heart.
They need to stop, regroup, and understand that Independence Institute and Complete Colorado can not win that faith and confidence back.
Without it, they have no hope of governing. Teachers will teach, students will learn, good people will do what they need to do all over Jeffco… but it will be in spite of, not because of, this ludicrous and petty “public relations” effort.
I was going to read the post but I stopped when I saw the picture you chose to use of Michelle. Sorry but that was a completely asshole move on your part.
Takes one to know one, Fladen.
Flaken, it amazes me that you continue to be a right-wing dumbass….
Oh, wait it doesn’t. Nevermind
So, bigotry and racism are a-ok with Fladen (so long as it’s coming from a Republican), but nosepicking is where he finds his moral outrage?
Let’s get a few things straight: I am not ok with bigotry/racism. I think that should have been clear by now with multiple posts I have had (including out Nate Marshall as a stormfront sympathizer). In any event, this isn’t a post about bigotry/racism. It’s a post where the author of ColoradoPols chose to act like an immature kindergartner by posting an embarrassing picture about a private person for no substantive reason whatsoever.
I’ll be blunt about this: this post is an embarrassment to the author and any funder of the author. I’ve alerted quite a few of my contacts on the left about it, and they all so far have agreed with me.
And that is all I am going to speak about this topic on this page today.
Good. Oh, and good-bye.
In public relations, no such thing as private, especially is she’s doing it in a public place and/or public meeting. She is NOT a private person by any stretch of the imagination; she’s a contractor for a public body and that makes her public, too.
Oh for Christ’s sake, Elliot, she’s A PAID PR HACK. This is like you demanding sympathy for those poor political mailer consultants who had no idea Photoshopping black people out of a mailer would be controversial. Which you did!
Your faux outrage faltered here years ago, clown.
Just because Elliot can be wrong, it doesn’t mean he can’t be right. The use of the photo is churlish and, frankly, beneath the dignity of the folks who run this house.
Chaps is crazy, and so I’m fine with the orgasmic jazz hands photo we use of him that underscores that. Regardless of this woman’s motives or affiliations, brutalizing her with a photo of her caught in all her humanity is nothing short of bullying and not to be tolerated. I hope to god nobody ever gets a shot of me when I’m vulnerable and uses it to define me. If I start acting crazy, though, try to capture an image where I’m using jazz hands.
And…they took it down. I personally think that’s a mistake, Pols, don’t be bullied by Elliot Fladen. But whatever, it’s not worth arguing about I guess.
Pcat, thanks for this. I agree. I admit that I laughed at the nosepicking photo, but it doesn’t advance the Jeffco schools conversation at all, merely polarizes it further.
When (not if) I’m acting crazy, try to get me on a “good hair” day. Monday before 7 am usually works.
We have to have a few standards of privacy around here. I’ve known everything about Mrs. Klingenschmitt except her blood type for a couple of weeks now, for example, but I’m not going to publish it, because she doesn’t deserve to have her privacy invaded.
Mrs. Klingenschmitt is a Republican public relations consultant?
If so, that would make her fair game too.
For myself, I’m just shocked that there IS a Mrs. Klingenschmitt. Clears up some of those self-hatred possibilities on the part of Chaps if you know what I mean.
Yeah….Larry “Wide Stance” Craig was married, too. If you know what I mean.
El Paso Ted’s Bible Lesson for Today.
No. I didn’t say that she is a Republican public relations consultant, and in fact she is not.
I’m with you, PCat. I thought it was tacky. Judge her on the stupid things she does professionally. She’s bad enough without that photo.
Right on all counts Pcat.
Do let the door hit you on your ass on the way out.
I don’t know whether you’re one of those lawyerly types who gets off on intellectual dishonesty as indulging his bad boy side, or just a straight-up hypocrite.
As for your “contacts” on the left, any of them who take your “No, really, I’m an Independent” blather seriously are quite generous indeed. Or seriously impaired.
Sorry, Pols, if you took it down because of Flaken, then I feel sorry for you, and put it up for all of its glory.
Never mind. You have to live with yourself. I can just block you.
Thanks for adding editing, Pols.
Re: the photo: much ado about nothing. GOP operatives do not enjoy special protections when photographed at a public event.
It always amazes me how well-intentioned Democrats can drag a discussion off message by attacking each other over irrelevant crap. You’ve played right into Jon Caldara’s hands.
That’s all I’ve got to say, Happy Easter everybody.
Taking advantage of people’s good intentions is how (and why) Elliot has “contacts on the left” in the first place. They serve a purpose.
Yep. Thumbs up.
PP, you don’t know anything about me, so please don’t speak for me. I’m neither a fool nor a dupe, but I suppose that I am one of Elliot’s “contacts on the left”.
And he’s one of my “contacts on the right”.
FYI, it’s OK to communicate like a grown-up with people you don’t necessarily agree with. Considering alternative points of view keeps the brain from atrophying.
Someone earlier opined that this makes me “play into Caldara’s hands.”
You know what plays into Caldara’s hands, and the entire right wing media propaganda machine’s hands? Treating people whose opinions differ as “the enemy”.
You know what weakens that machine? Treating each other with common humanity and decency.
Plus, sniping and name calling is so goddam boring, and will lose readership for whatever is worthwhile on the site.
The photo? Not worth a piece of dried snot. I’m with the cook – let’s see some substance about what Jeffco school board is doing, and challenge the policies and proposals.
Hey, whatever floats your boat. I have plenty of respect for alternative points of view, even ones I’m completely opposed to. I just don’t feel the need to brag about it. But I seem to be lacking in superior finger-wagging, clucking with disapproval, and “More Open-Minded Than Thou” pontificating.
This is one of the reasons people think leftists are silly. We actually fight over who’s more well-intentioned.
