It's those GOP Family Values!

The prick broke her nose! The conservatives and republicans need to all abandon efforts to push their non-existent values/morals onto others because there are a lot of hypocrites within their ranks. I feel pretty certain that Fuchs Noose and other conservatives in the media will not have one word to say on this matter. They're experts when it comes to acting as if something that happened did not happen.

Brad, Thanks, AGAIN, for pointing out what ought to be obvious. Those who point the finger the loudest are usually the ones who have a lot hiding under their rug. Sigh. I am so sorry for his wife. I hope she's getting some support. Of course, funding for social support and shelters and such is WAY DOWN. They are destroying what we've built for the last 30 years. CHANGE we can believe in. Yeah, right. Take your moolah out of the banksters hands, clear out your 401Ks and put the money somewhere safe, or invest in something real. The stock market is just a gambling den. Pull the legs out from under these bastards. They will listen to nothing less than the destruction of the current money system. Thanks for listenin'.

According to Greenwich Time, when his wife, Mary Margaret Farren, also an attorney, tried to serve John Michael Farren with divorce papers: He tackled her and began pulling out "gobs of hair," she said in the report. He then began beating her with a metal flashlight and drove her to the floor under the blows.... Bleeding heavily, she passed out and, when she came to, he began strangling her. With his hands around her neck, she lost her sight and began searching for the panic alarm with her hands... Farren said, "don't hit the alarm button," but eventually she pushed it and the alarm began to sound... Hearing the alarm, "he went nuts," and began to hit her again with the flashlight... As a result, Mary "sustained a broken jaw, facial fractures, lacerations to the back of her head and after being beaten into unconsciousness." Yeah, there's your family values guy --- not live Rove. No divorce for him. He takes "till death do you part" real serious. Of course, his lawyer has already come up with the "spin" we'd hear from the hard-right echo chamber, if we heard from them at all on this --- just "a tragic situation." Yeah, I suppose God made him do it to protect the sanctity of "opposite marriage."

Furthermore, we hope they don't try to disbar Farren over this policy difference between him and his wife. Politicizing his belief that she should no longer be alive would just be wrong, set a very bad precedent for future administration attorneys, and put our nation at even greater danger from terrorism. Well not only that but you'd be emboldening the crap out of all of Americas enemies all around the world as well. Hopefully when this blows over Fannin can get a job at Cal Berkley.

Iraq Body Count: Documented civilian deaths from violence

94,939 – 103,588 No. Domestic violence is never trivial. But something in me just snaps when I think about the coverage this incident will get.

Not to nit pick, Mitch Trachtenberg, but the "documented" death count of 94,939 to 103,588 is extraordinarily low. A 2006 study estimated the number of Iraqi deaths at 655,000. A study performed at the end of 2007 estimated that Iraqi deaths exceeded one million.

Amen, Mr Canning! I find it utterly impossible to believe "statistics" such as this, and I see red when I see the MSM mindlessly repeating such tripe (lately and egregiously, all this utter manure about Guantanamo recidivism, but worst of all the 9/11 catechism: "On 9/11 19 Arabs hijacked four planes..." and so on, a veritable catapultation of propaganda). I imagine Zionists would squawk about Hitler killing 6 million, but they're only telling part of the truth, as per usual. He killed 15 million in his Death camps, never mind all the soldiers and civilians who dies elsewhere, it's just that the 9 million "others" in the camps somehow didn't count - just as we get precise (if jiggered) numbers of American casualties but not even a vague estimate of Iraqis. Disgusting. I want my money back...

Forgot which blog I was on --- I was choosing the lowest numbers so no one would claim they were inflated. I agree 100% that the cited numbers are too low.

He beat her until she passed out? Is he in jail? Because his manhood is questionable now because she served him with papers. Wonder what made her file? Did she already fear for her life? I know those conservative he-men...you either do as they say or they will beat you to submission. Sheesh.

6 Republican senators and 14 Republican house members are stepping down. The "liberal media" that only a Dittohead would think is liberal says: "Democrats are dropping like flies" http://www.thedailyshow....nuary-7-2010/donkey-gone If congress made it rain cookies, the "liberal media" would say the Democrats left America milkless!

Dana Perino: no terror attacks under Bush: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200911240056 Rudy Giuliani: no terror attacks under Bush: http://mediamatters.org/research/201001080013 9/11 is a domestic terror attack that happened while Bush/Cheney were in office (note to dittoheads, FOX "news" viewers, and Republicans)

Q. How is a man expected to preserve the sanctity of traditional marriage? A. By beating his wife with a blunt instrument and choking her with his bare hands, how else? That's how the cavemen did it! And there's nothing more traditional than cavemen.

Reading Democrats or Republicans say a word about values or morals is ridiculous. Republicans make me sick on this issue as do Democrats. How soon we forget Monica Lewinsky and John Edwards. Try to act holier than though is an exercise in futility.

So, you're saying that getting a blowjob from a woman other than your wife is as bad as ripping your wife's hair out, making her bleed profusely, breaking her facial bones with a blunt object, and beating her into unconsciousness?

Dave takes the anti-moral-relativism thing a little too far sometimes....
