The Heritage Foundation decided to grab this screencap from the OFA for obvious reasons.  It's good they did, because all links to it have now disappeared. *chortle*

Sounds accurate to me.  Shutting down you right wing assholes seems like a particularly divine order from God to me.

Jim...

OK ... I surely don't like Third Reich comparisons ... but that is getting eearily close.

 

Off topic from this post but speaking of 9-11
I think this ad is a really strange way to compare the Tsunami to 9-11. I had to look at it two times to actually see what I was seeing.

Comparing an attack by terrorists to a Tsunami? Glad the idiots in charge of that add are no longer with that agency. I would hope they learned from the experience. 

The Tsunami ad for World Wildlife Fund Brasil was created by a team at DDB Brasil in December 2008. The team in question is no longer with the Agency. DDB Brasil apologizes to anyone who was offended or affected by the ad.  It should never have been made and it does not portray the philosophy of the agency.

Very reminiscent of the golden days of the anti-war movement where the libs held up traffic in many large cities prohibiting emergency vehicles from making their way.

Let's hope no one has a heart attack while they are tying up phone lines....or worse yet...another 9-11.

I suggest you back up that statement with some proof or be forever known as nothing but a spreader of false allegations (aka: a TYPICAL neocon).

Oh come on! People making two phone calls a piece is going to bring down the whole phone system?

What a crock of shit!

Wow...you shock me yet again Jan.  Where were you on 9/11 when they were begging people to stay off their cells?  I realize you weren't in OKC on the day of the bombing.  The cell towers handle a normal anticipated call volume. But you knew that, right?  Apparently not.

Pffft! What fraction of the total population ever participates in this kind of phone campaign? Maybe a tenth of a percent in the most extreme case? So let's inflate that to the extreme and call it one percent ... you really believe the phone system can't handle one percent of the population making two phone calls a piece in the course of a whole day? Really?

And don't you think that if some great disaster took place people might rethink their priorities and maybe not bother calling their senators?

Your argument is pure bullshit.





EDIT: And furthermore ... in the case of the OKC bombing and 9/11 - obviously everybody in the vicinity of those disasters was trying to call friends or relatives, or people were trying to call to check on relatives who might be hurt or killed, and so on. We're talking a whole different level of stress on the system than takes place on a normal day.

Educate yourself.  And remember the INTENT is to disrupt....and you know it.

Educate yourself.

LOL!! I'm quite sure I know a hell of a lot more about how cellphone networks function than you ever will. A couple of call per person for some tiny fraction of the population in the course of a day is no significant load on the system, given the large number of cell sites and therefore low probability of significant clusters of calls in any given site. Not to mention that there's no reason to think a large proportion of these calls wouldn't be made on landlines.


And remember the INTENT is to disrupt....and you know it.

Nonsense. Have you never called your senator or congressperson? If you did, was it your intent to "disrupt?"

Frankly, your reaction to a perfectly ordinary interest group campaign is very silly.

You are getting scary, Jan. Really scary.

If bright people like you are totally oblivious, this is going to get much, much worse.

Of course, the possibility that you are completely wrong about this has not occured to you, right?

Jim...

Where were you on 9/11 when they were begging people to stay off their cells?

We ONLY have cell phones, and we've only had cell phones for the last 10 years.   I never heard anyone saying to "stay off" of our cell phones on 9/11. 

PS....when not in front of the TV that day, I was on iwon with all of you.
