‘Charles Manson was LOVED’: Devotee tries to crowdfund $15,000 in funeral expenses for the cult leader – and makes $949 before the campaign is pulled by GoFundMe

‘Charles Manson was LOVED’: Devotee tries to crowdfund $15,000 in funeral expenses for the cult leader – and makes $949 before the campaign is pulled by GoFundMe. In death Manson is still a loser. Loved. Yeah right.

The human side of Charlie Manson

The human side of Charlie Manson. OK the LA Times jumped the shark with this piece of stupidity. Human side? Manson was a piece of shit who should have been executed decades ago save for Governor Moonbeam’s California Supreme Court appointee Rose Bird. Sorry dummies, he was WAY different from the rest of us.

Manson, though, was no devil but a human being, as his death makes clear. I don’t say that to soften or absolve him. But I don’t believe in demons; people are frightening enough. Indeed, to accept Manson as a person, to see him through the filter of his humanity, is to acknowledge what we resist: that he was perhaps not so utterly different from the rest of us.

Barack Obama meets the ghosts of Richard Nixon and Charles Manson

Last Wednesday night’s presidential declaration that Cambridge, Massachusetts police acted stupidly in arresting one of the President’s friends is reminiscent of an incident that occurred during the 1970 Charles Manson murder trial.

Would President Obama have said Charles Manson's arrest was stupid, too?
Would President Obama have said Charles Manson's arrest was stupid, too?

What, you may ask, could those three names possibly have in common?

Well, last Wednesday night’s presidential declaration that Cambridge, Massachusetts police acted stupidly in arresting one of the President’s friends is reminiscent of an incident that occurred during the 1970 Charles Manson murder trial.

Here’s how Wikipedia.com describes the 1970 event:

On August 4, despite precautions taken by the court, Manson flashed the jury a Los Angeles Times front page whose headline was “Manson Guilty, Nixon Declares,” a reference to a statement made the previous day when U.S. President Richard Nixon had decried what he saw as the media’s glamorization of Manson. Voir dired by Judge Charles Older, the jurors contended that the headline had not influenced them. The next day, the female defendants stood up and said in unison that, in light of Nixon’s remark, there was no point in going on with the trial.

Nixon caught holy hell from civil libertarians for saying what everyone in the world thought. As he should have. Presidents have no business expressing uninformed personal opinions about on-going criminal investigations and trials. Not Nixon. Not Obama. Not any president.

We’re actually surprised President Obama chose to comment on a subject about which he was admittedly ignorant.

We thought that was Joe Biden’s job.

Toxic Janeane Garafalo compares Limbaugh to Manson & Hitler

janeane_garofalo_200x300Unfunny comedienne Janeane Garafalo showed up on Keith Olbermann’s show last night. She was as unfunny as ever, but Keith laughed Olber-maniacally anyway.

“The type of female that does like Rush is the same type of woman that falls in love with prisoners,” she said. After mentioning Richard Ramirez and Charles Manson, she continued by saying, “Eva Braun, Hitler’s girlfriend, that’s exactly the type of woman that responds really well to Rush.”

“(Former CNN anchor Daryn Kagan) dated him,” the ever-so-charming Garafalo whined, “so either she suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, a lot like Michael Steele, who’s the black guy in the Republican party who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, which means you try and curry favor with the oppressor…any female or person of color in the Republican party is struggling with Stockholm Syndrome.”

Janeane Garafalo, equal opportunity hater.

Update:
The Red Eye Crew has a good time ridiculing Garafalo (and Keith Olbermann) on this and related comments. It’s funnier than hell and worth watching. Includes video of Garafalo and Olbermann with their quotes.
