Quote Boat: Dan Backer, Charmless Man


Click to enlarge.

NJO: That's right folks, to super-secret Tea Party consultant and campaign finance lawyer extraordinaire Dan Backer (Esquire), it matters not if the tipple is gin, vodka, frozen strawberry daiquiri, or blood of the underclass --- he'll gladly gorge himself on it all, then brag about how splendidly ruddy and swollen he looks in Playboy, 'cause he's a literal human tick, baby, and that's just how he rolls.

Here's a song that seems roughly appropriate, courtesy of winding-down-Britpop-era Blur:

Quote Boat: Again with the war talk --- Think this guy might be a fanatic or something?



NJO: I haven't as yet posted a link to the James O'Keefe-connected Planned Parenthood sting video that appeared last week, so here's a timely reminder of James O'Keefe's thoughts on how to journalistically cover reproductive healthcare organizations like Planned Parenthood, and links to Little Green Footballs and Snopes, who have dealt with the story properly.

Update: Quote source.

NJO: Trying out something different here. I started this off meaning to use just one or two brief quotes by James to get the point across, but I may have got a wee bit carried away. 

Updated 24/07/15: Here are links to the quote sources:

"You think you're all Peace?"

"The moral balance is still ours."

"The other full-time people at this college so far..."

"As my friend Dave pointed out to me..."

"Why do I hear so many excuses..."

"Running with the wind behind at 12 knots..."

"Since we replaced the compulsory military draft..."

"It's gotten so bad out there."

"Sitting in between Rep. Rangel and Sen. Menendez..." 

Update (21/07/15): I just realized that James' mention of "my friend Dave" (in the 2008 quotation on the right of the graphic) might well be in reference to David Daleiden, who is credited as the "leader" of the the Center for Medical Progress, the forced-birth group responsible for the latest Planned Parenthood sting videos, and who is reportedly a friend of James O'Keefe's.
