Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

UPDATED: Cops taser UF moonbat

UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

While I get a perverse sense of pleasure at a Gator student getting lit up like a Christmas tree, I’ll see if I can gin up some outrage at his treatment. OK, here goes: This is an outrage! There. Don’t say I never give you anything. Anywho, here are the details:

Police used a Taser on and arrested a University of Florida student Monday when he attempted to speak at a forum with U.S. Sen. John Kerry during a question and answer session, university officials said.

Andrew Meyer, 21, asked Kerry why he did not contest the 2004 presidential election (um, ‘cuz he lost? – Ed.), which he lost to President Bush, and why there had been no moves to impeach Bush (um, ‘cuz Kerry’s in the Senate and impeachment procedings begin in the House? Dude, after you get both of your brain cells unfried from being Tased, you really should get back to your American history class. – Ed.).

“He apparently asked several questions — he went on for quite awhile — then he was asked to stop,” university spokesman Steve Orlando said. “He had used his allotted time. His microphone was cut off then he became upset.”

While as many as four police officers tried to remove Meyer from the forum, he yelled for help and asked, “What did I do?” Minutes after Meyer started speaking, he was stunned.

Meyer was charged with resisting an officer and disturbing the peace, according to Alachua County jail records. No bond had been set. Meyer was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning, a jail official said.

Orlando said university police would conduct an internal investigation on the incident.

“The police department does have a standard procedure for when they use force, including when they use a Taser,” Orlando said. “That is what the internal investigation would address — whether the proper procedures were followed, whether the officers acted appropriately.”

While it should be a law that we can zap moonbats like this whenever we damn well please, in all seriousness, I do happen to be leaning towards the “cops were a little heavy-handed here” side of things. However, I know how the MSM tends to leave out details so as to portray cops in the most unflattering light possible, so I’ll await the results of the investigation before fully coming to a conclusion as to whether the police overreacted or not.

Until then…fry, you Gainesville moonbat, fry! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OK, I’m horrible…so sue me! :-D

UPDATE (9/18/2007 – 9:55 a.m. EST): There’s an eyewitness account to the event, for what it’s worth. If true, dude was resisting arrest and was told to stop resisting or he would get tased. He refused. Again, this is one person’s account, so take it or leave it.

UPDATE (9/19/2007 – 7:35 a.m. EST): This is getting better all the time! Dude’s not only a moonbat, but he’s a Troofer moonbat! Way to represent, dipsh#t!

UPDATE (9/19/2007 – 8:02 a.m. EST): I should have known this was coming. Apparently, a couple of the mouthbreathing knuckledragging moonbats from MSNBC is blaming Bush and Rove for the zapping of the UF publicity whore. Bush and Rove, you sadistic b#stards!

Durbin the Turban’s revived amnesty plan

What’s he got to worry about?  Illinois is bluer than the ice water in Shrillary’s veins.  From Slate:

Demi-Semi-Amnesty: Democratic Sen. Durbin’s revived “DREAM Act” is typically billed as a way to address “the tragedy of young people”–students who were brought into the country when they were very young, and now want to attend college. I was going to criticize it because it inevitably offers an incentive to future illegal immigration–i.e. “sneak across the border and your already-born children can go to U.S. colleges, pay in-state tuition, and become citizens!” It seemed precisely the sort of compassionate measure that should become possible after the borders had been shown to be secure for several years (as opposed to after a few quick showy raids and deportations).

But it’s actually not that bad. It’s much, much worse! Kris Kobach persuasively argues that, thanks to loose drafting, it’s potentially a huge de facto legalization program of the sort many observers thought had been defeated. For example [emphasis added]:

There is no upper age limit. Any illegal alien can walk into a U.S. Customs and Immigration Ser­vices office and declare that he is eligible. For example, a 45 year old can claim that he illegally entered the United States 30 years ago at the age of 15. There is no requirement that the alien prove that he entered the United States at the claimed time by providing particular documents. The DREAM Act’s Section 4(a) merely requires him to “demonstrate” that he is eligible—which in practice could mean simply making a sworn statement to that effect.

There’s more–e.g., once you file an “application,” you can’t be deported. …See also Noam Askew. … Action Plan: Ask John McCain about the “DREAM Act” on his new “Forget Immigration!” Tour.

No word on whether Lindsey Grahamnesty or Lettuce McCain will sign on to this, but I’m thinking they would.

Hillary: It depends on the meaning of the word “mandatory”

Her Highness is trying to outdo her hubby in the “let’s make Webster turn over in his grave” department. From AP:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

“At this point, we don’t have anything punitive that we have proposed,” the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We’re providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans.”

If there are no punitive measures for non-compliance, then the plan cannot be “mandatory”, but is instead voluntary. I mean, if you disobey mandatory laws in this country, you face punitive measures (fines, jail time, etc.). That’s kinda how our laws work. You’d think a law school graduate like her would know that.

Therefore, she either (a) doesn’t know the difference between “mandatory” and “voluntary”; or (b) is lying through her teeth because she knows how Marxist and Orwellian her Big Brother her plan sounds and doesn’t want the Great Unwashed to be alarmed (and rightfully so). So which is it: she’s stupid or she’s a liar? You be the judge.

Oh, well, look on the bright side, Hilldawg: you’ve got that coveted wifekiller endorsement.
