Video- Fox & Friends sees "Muslim image" in logo for Nuclear Security Summit

I really want to say something rude but can't figure out a way to do it non-rudely.

Must see VIDEO: They're mining graves

By GottaLaff

This video comes to us by way of my pal Micheal Stinson, aka Symbolman, who co-authored that snarky coloring book of snarky coloring books, Going Rouge. But this time around, he's not snarking.

35-60 graves "don't mean nothin' to them":

In 2006 Takebackthemedia interviewed Larry Gibson, the last holdout in an area in West Virginia being decimated by mountaintop removal techniques. He gave us a full tour and we filmed for 8 hours a variety of areas in the process of destruction, most chilling is this footage of a coal company MINING the Family CEMETERY in full sight of Larry's home. Judge this outrage for yourself. Hours of incredible footage available along with film makers for interviews. Contact symbolman@gmail.com

Talk about "unclean" coal. This gives "death panel" a whole new meaning.

Isn't it the "pro-life" party that supports mining like this? So once a loved one has passed away, they become meaningless and can be bulldozed into oblivion. Got it.

Please note: Micheal would love to finish the film, but he needs funding. If you are able to give him any assistance or advice in that regard, please contact him at the address above.

UPDATE: Micheal has more at DKos here. Please take a look.

Glenn Beck's '9-12' logo based on communist, socialist designs

By GottaLaff

Well now, this is awkward:

But do Beck; the corporate-sponsored astro-turf group, FreedomWorks, headed by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas); the Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights; the private-property group, the National Assn. of Rural Landowners; and the rest of the march sponsors know the symbol's origins?

Unity and resistance are what the fist represented in 1917, when it was first employed by the Industrial Workers of the World, a union organization founded by socialists. And in the 1940s, when it stood for various nations' communist party organizations.

That's also what it meant when it was revived in the 1960s, appearing as a symbol for the SDS, as well as anti-war and feminist movements. It was the basis for the black-power salute given by John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. And today, it's the symbol for the Progressive Labor Party (pictured), a political outfit whose website says it "fights to smash capitalism."

Turnout for the 9-12 Project's Saturday march on Washington was a bust; 30,000 protesters signed up in advance (MSNBC reporter David Shuster tweeted that D.C. park police called that figure "generous"). But even if three times that many actually showed up, the number would fall far short of the hundreds of thousands (and even millions) claimed to be planning to attend.

So much embarrassment, so little time.

Even in that reduced crowd, however, surely someone recognized how odd the right-wing gathering's left-wing logo was.

Next thing you know, they'll acquire this one, too:

One can only hope.

UPDATE: David Shuster listens... again.

The new health care reform symbol: 24K Screwed

By GottaLaff

Screwed... by Big Pharma, Big Insurance, the Blue Dogs, the Rushpublics, the Tea Tantrumers, the Mobbers, the list goes on. One of my Twitter pals sent me this interesting little image to commemorate the occasion:
