Townhaller Katy Abram Writes 04' Review Of Sean Hannity Book

Posted: Monday, August 17, 2009 | Posted by Chico Brisbane | Labels: , , , , , , 0 COMMENTS


Townhall protestor Katy Abram said to Pensylvania Sen. Arlan Spector "I'm 35 years old and I haven't been interested in politics until know.
You've awaken a sleeping giant!" - Once the news clip hit the airwaves, it went viral across YouTube. The same can be said about Abram's subsequent appearances on MSNBC's Hardball and Fox News Channels Hannity's America.

In a previous post at ChicoBrisbane.Com, we highlighted that Abram's disinterest in politics actually goes back to 2006 when we discovered her connection as an active organizer for Glenn Beck's 9/12 project. Recently a ChicoBrisbane commentor posted a link where Katy Abram offered up a glowing review of Sean Hannity's book Deliver Us From Evil on the Amazon website.

I suspect that it won't be long before we learn that Abram was a member of The Young Republicans. In that review, Abram said that she purchased Hannity's book over the weekend and that it "has stirred the fire in my belly." - Ironically this statement was made more then five years before Abram's claim of having an interested in politics.

I think that at this point in the "townhall" debate, it's safe to assume that the blatent dishonesty of Katy Abram and Heather Blish are indicative of the theatrics that surround the public discourse. Those who speak loudest, hurl the most bullshit. The bigger the sign, the less the sign holder actually beleives what the sign says. - The whole matter reaks of desparation. -

As a final thought, anyone interested picking up a copy of Sean Hannity's book that Abram praised like real Christians praise the Bible, they are widely available across the internet from $0.99 cents to $1.74 - I've posted links below for you shopping convenience.

First and foremost I am a conservative who has seen the light after working a number of years in the liberal television media. While working in television I didn't see it. I didn't see the liberal workings because I was a part of it.

After leaving to become a stay at home mom I see time after time how much my former counterparts spin everything. As a result I have returned to my original God given roots of conservativism. (My parents are so proud). I digress. To the last individual who stated only the rich are conservative...well let me educate you.

I personally have NEVER made over $35,000. My husband is making in the mid $50's...well looky here someone who is a conservative whomakes less than your liberal paycheck. Amazing to think that someone so poor could be a conservative.

Anyhow, I bought Sean's book this weekend and it again has stirred the fire in my belly. I absolutely love this book. Sean doesn't skirt around the issues with a song and dance of rhetoric. He shows CLEARLY and DISTINCTLY how the left left their minds in the gutter.

Their minds are fogged with the rantings of lunatics. They have seen clear proof of the difference of good and evil in the world and are still either oblivious to it or truly choose to turn a blind eye in hopes for recovering the White House. Sean you have truly outdone yourself. Keep up the great work! This is truly a work of love and dedication.

Freedom Under Attack: The Liberals Are Coming!

Posted: Saturday, August 15, 2009 | Posted by Chico Brisbane | Labels: , , , , , 1 COMMENTS


Whenever Republicans have their backs against the wall as they do right now after 8 years of George W. Bush. Also in 1999 and after 12 years of Ronald Regan and the elder George H.W. Bush, a false alarm of liberty and freedom being under attack is made in lieu of simply owning up to the past and offering real solutions going forward.

Instead, they tried to sell America on contuinuing along the path that lead us to near disaster. I say "near disaster" because that's exactly what it is. And it would have been an absolute disaster had John McCain and Sarah Palin won the 2008 election. Instead, for the first time in a long time, the rational among the electorate, regardless of political party understood the sad state of affairs that the Bush Administration had left in it's wake.

The Republicans immediately sounded the standard false alarm that Democrats in control equals the loss of freedom. Like Paul Revere's midnight ride from Boston to Lexington warning that the British were coming, the Republicans take to airwaves and try to paint their dishonest rhetoric as some sort of patriotic duty and then use the very freedom that they claim to love, to prostitute the word and it's meaning for the sake of regaining control of the country that their party nearly distroyed.

Were are seeing it unfold right before our very eyes. Somehow the concept of being our brothers keeper and reforming our healthcare system to provide affordable health care for all Americans who wish to have it, means the end of freedom in America. These town hall political parrots cry about wanting their country back, and not wanting it to turn into Russia.
They want it restored back to the way that our founding fathers had it. One can only assumes that that means a virtually all-white nation of wealthy slave owners in one class and everyone else in a second class, thus the term second class citizens.

What these ignorent townhallers fail to understand is that they are the second class citizens. They're the ones doing to dirty work for the wealthy in that first class. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't caught word of any Fortune 500 CEO's making an appearance at these townhall protest to get his or her two cents in about wanting their country back. I haven't seen Sean Hannity, Glenn Back, or Rush Limbaugh making an appearance to protest and shout that they want thier country back. And why should they when they can have their current day version of a slave doing that dirtywork for them.

The bottom line is this: With our total and complete dominance in Washington today, the Democrats are going to restructure our free nation. Not into a socialist state, but rather a free nation that provides the same level of freedom for all American's and not just the wealthty and influantual. And if providing a public option is what is necessary to ensure that all Americans have access to "affordable" health care, then that's what we will do.
What people fail to see is that unlike President Bush who force fed us diregulated financial markets, and two wars built upon lies, President Obama has been, in my opinion, overly accomodating to opposing views.

However, I suppose that that had much to do with him being elected in the first place. If the country continues to heal at the rate that it is healing under Obama's leadership, then the 2012 Republican candidate will simply be going throught the motions of an election cycle for no other reason that to be the one to hand Obama a second landslide victory. Those are the facts weather you like it or not.

Obama's Townhall Has Glenn Beck Looking For New Narrative

Posted: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 | Posted by Chico Brisbane | Labels: , , , 0 COMMENTS


GLENN BECK: “No one is saying that eugenics are coming.”
President Obama’s National Town Hall Meeting has the radical right scrambling for a new narrative. When the President spoke about the rumor that’s been circulating a lot lately about “this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we've decided that we don't — it's too expensive to let her live anymore.” It made the thought of such a thing sound ridiculous.

Sarah Palin, for whatever reason, rolled back her crazy comment about “death panels” almost as soon as it left her mouth. Now the one how is losing advertisers left and right, Glenn Beck" on his show says to my dismay that “No one is saying that eugenics are coming.” But then follows that up with a 17th century history lesson about the origin of eugenics and how it all began with “American and British socialists and progressives.”

“Eugenics is not an idea and it did not start with the Nazis, but with American and British socialists and progressives who thought that through measures like prohibition and later, birth control, they could cure the ills of modern society, such as poor public hygiene, rising population among lower classes and urban crowding.”

There is little doubt that the loss of advertisers has Beck on housecleaning duty. He spends a few seconds in a segment alluding to the fact that people must be misinterpreting The Glenn Beck Show. No Glenn – You message has been received loud and clear by those that are predisposed to that sort of message. Your show, Mr. Beck is a dog whistles for white supremacy, bigots, and the fucking Ku Klux Klan. Plain and simple.

“America, there is so much anger and hatred in this country right now and it is important that we have an honest conversation here and understand clearly what is being said on this program.”

Fox News Stirring The Pot Towards Civil Unrest

Posted: Saturday, August 8, 2009 | Posted by Chico Brisbane | Labels: , , , , , , 4 COMMENTS


Reports that some of the protests have been coordinated by FreedomWorks, the Washington lobbying group of Dick Armey, are not easily dismissed and perticularly with the trail of evidence that is being left behind. I have no doubt that some of these people are legitimately protesting to their elected officials within thier district, it's the bussing in of people and "protesters" on tour to create a public outcry that's I take issue with.



If shutting down public debate was the goal, then the organizers of these staged protest have been widely sucessful. However, if they are under the impression that no town hall mettings equals no public option when it comes to healfcare reform, then they are widely mistaken. In the end, it will have to come down to the emails, phone calls, and letters from verified constituents that lawmakers will have to rely on that will make or brake health the care reform issue.

Whenever I write to my representatives, I always adress the letter or email with my informal first name and no middle initial. When I get a response, it's always addressed with my formal name as listed in the voter registration rolls, so I know someone is checking to verify that I live in the district and what party I belong to. The question is is this: will those same people who stood in line to vote for Obama, take 10 minutes to contact thier representative in congress? - If they don't, then heath care reform is dead.

Giving the appearance of this circus being a "grassroots" will eventually be exposed as a fraud the same way that the Tea Party movement came apart at the seems. Many of the protestors catch phrases can easily be tracked back the the Fox News commentator that spewed it. It might be catchy and effective the first time it's said, but once it's played back against it's original source, it really exposes that protestor as a political parrot delivering a message, rather then speaking their mind.

The one about "If they can't run Cash for Clunkers" or "How can you reform healthcare in 4 weeks when it took Obama 6 months to pick out a dog" I thought these where cleaver comments myself the first time that I heard the "protestors" say them, but a quick reviewed my Fox News Tivo proved otherwise. It was life following a trail of bread crumbs from these protestors mouths, right back to the Fox News Room and directly to the mouths of Steve Doocey, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.

Also, a Connecticut fellow named Bob MacGuffie and four friends who formed a political action committee last year have been distributing a memo instructing people how to infiltrate town hall gatherings and harass Democratic members of Congress. Just another trail of evidence to follow by unsophistocated wannabe activists.



– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”
– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

The goal — recently outlined by an influential lobbyist as "delay" then "kill" — is apparent: Having successfully delayed a vote until after the August recess, lobbyists are seizing on town halls to ambush lawmakers in an attempt to fool them and the greater public into thinking there is wide opposition to health care reform.



However, I think the 2008 election has changed the rules forever and if you want to force change, you're going to have to do it the way that Barack Obama did. With a real grass-movements, and real outraged people in real numbers to effect the ellectorate. The days of make beleive narratives and wagging the dog for theatrical effect are alive and well at Fox News, but Fox News has lost it's ability to master the number of puppets needed to achieve it's purpose.

Tea Party and Birthers Join Forces To Disrupt and More

Posted: Wednesday, August 5, 2009 | Posted by Chico Brisbane | Labels: , , , , ,


What began as annoying disruptions at democratic town hall meetings by factions of the tea party and birther movments combined, have now gone violent. Last week, a protester hung an effigy of freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) outside his district office, and after a June 22 town hall meeting was disrupted by an "unruly mob" of tea party activists, Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) had to be escorted to his car by police.


But now according to Gerry Connolly (D-VA), the president of the freshman Democratic class has revealed that "at least one freshman Democrat" has already been "physically assaulted at a local event." Connolly warned that conservative groups had taken things to a "dangerous level":

"When you look at the fervor of some of these people who are all being whipped up by the right-wing talking heads on Fox, to me, you’re crossing a line,’ Connolly said. ‘They’re inciting people to riot with just total distortions of facts. They think we’re going to euthanize Grandma and the government is going to take over."


As I mentioned in a previous post, I was invited to a preperation meeting for one of these protest by a co-worker who mistook some of my right leaning positions to mean that I was a raging righty. Needless to say, I was shocked by the rampent racism within the group and how the
N WORD was used in reference to the President and the Attorney General.

House Democratic leaders have a strategy for countering protesters attempting to disrupt Members’ town-hall meetings on health care over the August recess: Do nothing. In light of how ugly these events are getting, I think that may be the best course of action. I could never imagine going to a Republican town hall meeting to dispupt it, and God only knows that during the Bush years, there was ample reason to do so. If anything, perhaps it's time for legislation that will still allow for protest outside, but if you want to go inside the meeting, you must live in the voting district of that meeting.


I have seen the same man protesting a three different townhall in three different states. He is not there to protest, but to prevent the people who live in that district from even having a meeting. There are always 3 or 4 protestors who sit in different corners of the room to give the appearance that they do not know each other, and are just concerned locals.


During my frightening experience at a preperation meeting, one man in attendance suggested that people follow counter protesters (Lefty's) back to their cars and try to snap a picture of thier license plate. He cliamed to have a friend at the DMV and that "we can find out where these
"fuckers" live."

This guy was most likely bullshit, but I can feel something growing as the days go by. As I surf the net, I stumble across the most rediculous websites and blogs that are made to look like local TV satations or Newspapers.


They give them headers like Local Action 9 News. or Live At 5 On 5. The stories are so rediculous, but you have to wonder if there are actually people who might believe them. Stories such as:


President Leads Police on Drunken Vehicle Chase after White House Beer Party


WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama was arrested for DUI this afternoon after taking a Harvard professor and a Cambridge police officer on a harrowing barhopping tour and subsequent high-speed police chase through the city. What started as a beer picnic outside the Oval Office to clear the air over the president’s embarrassing comments last last week after the arrest of Harvard’s Henry Louis Gates turned ugly, when Obama, having quaffed one Bud Light and four plastic bottles of water in 15 minutes, stole a Secret Service SUV and demanded Gates and Sgt. James Crowley continue their party throughout the District of Columbia.
