April 142010

Cenk took the facts in here from many articles, but the primary one he mentioned is a great 2006 article from the Lexington Herald Leader. You can read that here:

    @Mika20 Another Corporate Hitler getting away with Fraud, wrongful death. The families cannot sue the mine because it falls under workers compensation laws, which block one from suing their employer. The only cause of action they could have wrong on was a whistle blower law, where they sent a certify letter to the owner of the mine and then within 30 days they had to file a law suit in state court, but most lawyers don’t know the whisle blower laws.

    @leftyms No you don’t understand. I only called her a mail order bride because she’s Asian.

    Hope that cleared things up. :D

    In my mind Greed is not a terrible thing, it is a dumb thing. Greed means never being satisfied with now, or what you have. Greed just believes that more is best. When we chase a fantasy that is money, or staus, we eventually are left without what is essential.

    A sincere handshake, smile or hug is worth more to the dying man than the deluded one who values paper with ink on it.
    :P

    Dirty bastards with blood in their hands, it is like order someone to be killed. It is definitely evil to me.

    @unincorporated1 …
    @unincorporated1 I’m totally with you on McConnell and his wife burning in hell, but when you call her a “mail order bride,” it doesn’t reflect well on you or on our side in general, because it comes off as racist. I’m sure you can do better…let’s leave the racism to the teabaggers.

  11. leftyms Says:

    @luvcheney1 You’re …
    @luvcheney1 You’re the one who originally said you used the name to be inflammatory. And I never said liberals are always reasonable. But does that mean that we should all contribute to the problem just because others do? Isn’t it better to try to be part of the solution? As far as Cheney goes, the man is a con artist and war criminal, and I find nothing admirable about him whatsoever. I know plenty of conservatives who also find him reprehensible. But if you like him, that’s your perogative.

    @unincorporated1


    @unincorporated1

    She is not a mail order bride (racist), and there is no (delusionalist).

    That being said Mitch is a part of the machinery that is politics and Americans let it happen.

    TYT challenges and questions the status quo, because if you don’t ask/demand for your rights to be respected then you don’t have any. People will walk over your rights if you let them… thats why there is a constitution.
    :P I kid the patriotic :)

    This is depressing, and just sickening. Over 3,000 safety violations and this spend a million dollars for a campaign??? Not only that, all the money to his personal expense…yet not a dime to make sure the mines were safe? And look….29 people lost their lives in that mine due to this idiots ignorance in ignoring the violations. Why isn’t he, McConnell, and that of a wife of his aren’t arrested? $5,000 for a fine over a spill?? You Crazy Mother F**ker!

    This is unbelievably infuriating. Makes me literally sick to my stomach. The worst was hearing the sheep in the background of that vile ‘man’s’ speech… “Yea!”.. “Woohoo!”. Where do these ignoramuses spawn from? America, literally the only western country where you are guaranteed to find people willfully fighting against their own benefit and proudly showcasing their ignorance as if it were a virtue.

  19. luvcheney1 Says:

    If you read down this, or any Lib thread, you will hardly find a “reasonable discussion”. Admiring a man elected to high office twice is not really inflamatory in the real world.
