Title: nominating thread for the Top DUmmies of 2014
Post by: franksolich on November 19, 2014, 10:59:18 AM
Welcome to the nominating thread for the Top DUmmies of 2014!

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/dummiedestroyer/skinssisland.jpg) (http://s6.photobucket.com/user/dummiedestroyer/media/skinssisland.jpg.html)

This thread is posted one week early, but will be locked until circa suppertime Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 26, after which one is free to nominate and comment. 

It’s posted early so that decent and civilized people have the time to read the rules.

There is a companion nominating thread “stickied” to the top of the Sandhills forum, for use by those who don’t want lurking primitives to know what one’s saying about them.

Nominations will be accepted from Thanksgiving Eve until circa suppertime Saturday, December 6, after which this thread will be closed.

- - - - - - - - - -

Voting for the Top Dummies will begin circa suppertime Sunday, December 7, and continue through circa suppertime Wednesday, December 17.

The rules for voting will be on that second thread, but generally, they’re the same as they were last year; private ballot only, and one’s first five choices of one’s top ten are to be ranked by the voter.

With the single exception noted below, primitives may repeat for any award.

- - - - - - - - - -

It needs noted that this is the 10th edition of the Top DUmmies, created by the artful Mr. Wiggum at our old home way back in December 2005.

A list of the Top DUmmies 2005-2013, along with links (if available), can be found in the DUmping Ground, a subsidiary forum of the DUmpster, at:

http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=66225.0

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are sought for Top DUmmies of 2014, of which there will be ten winners. 

One may nominate any primitive for top DUmmiedom based upon any criteria one chooses, provided the primitive was present at least one time on Skins’s island the past year.

This means exiled primitives and dead primitive are eligible for selection, too--just so they were present at least one time on Skins’s island the past year.

The Top DUmmie of 2014 is the sans peer, the ne plus ultra, of all the awards given, but top primitives second through tenth place are nothing to sneeze at either.

Members of DU Jr., “Discussionist,” are eligible for nomination and selection too…..provided they’re also current or past members of Skins’s island.  Members solely of DU Jr. are not eligible for nomination and selection.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are solicited for the William Rivers Pitt award, the “Willie,” for the most memorable primitive of the past thirteen years, since the advent of Skins’s island on January 20, 2001.

Any primitive, dead or alive, current or former.

The “Willie” is a one-time award; previous winners are not eligible for nomination and selection.  These include: TomInTib, William Pitt, BouncyBall, nadinbrzezinski, Alan Grayson, and undergroundpanther.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are entreated for the Steven Dawes award, the “Steve,” for the primitive who made the biggest fool, the biggest ass, of himself the past year.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are requested for the Nadin Abbott award, the “nadin,” for the primitive who with the least reason thought the most of himself the past year.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are invited for the Bartholomew Scott award, the “Skippy” or the “Barry,” whichever nickname one chooses to use, for the most paranoid primitive of the past year.

The “Skippy”--or the “Barry”--replaces the Robyn McGrath award, the “Rob,” of previous years.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are asked for the Steven Senti award, the “stewert,” for the freeloadingest primitive of the past year.

This is a new award.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations are summoned for the group award, for a collection of two or more primitives who proved attentionworthy the past year.

A “group” can be either a formal group, such as from one of the “little” forums on Skins’s island, or an informal group of one’s own devisement, provided one defines the “group” in some manner.

- - - - - - - - - -

Finally, there’s an award for which no nominations are needed, last year the “CCA award,” but now re-baptized the franksolich award, as suggested by a bona fide primitive who thought the latter name would have more “cachet.”

This award is given at franksolich’s sole discretion, for the primitive franksolich thought worthy of top DUmmiedom, but who alas was overlooked by the electorate.

- - - - - - - - - -

Nominations begin Thanksgiving Eve, November 26, and conclude on Saturday, December 6.

Voting begins Sunday, December 7, and concludes Wednesday, December 17.

Awardments are made beginning circa suppertime Christmas Eve, December 24, and given out every single day (obviously, more than one a day) through circa suppertime New Year’s Eve, December 31.

Okay, this thread is now officially open.

I'll lead off by nominating, for the group award, the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse, which is generally BainsBane, redqueen, seabeyond, and boston bean, but which may include any other screeching women's-libbers on Skins's island.

These screaming banshees have six different forums on Skins's island catering to their whims, but obviously that wasn't enough, as they attempted to dominate Skins's island earlier this year.

Skins's island consists of many special-interest groups, none of which have ever received the same indulgence as the Four Horsewomen--and six forums. 

I'm sure the gay primitives, the primitives of African derivation, the free-dope primitives, the pro-terrorist primitives, the Hillaryites and Warrenites, the atheist primitives, the Israel-hating primitives, the Obamaites, the mentally-challenged primitives, the socialist primitives, the trust-fund primitives, the nadinites and anti-nadinites, the scamming primitives, the drama queens, &c., &c., &c. looked on in awe and wonder as the women's-libbers ran roughshod over them and their concerns as if they didn't matter at all.

I want to nominate NYC_SKP, otherwise known as "Skippy," for one of the ten slots for Top DUmmies of 2014, for his steadfast defense of wreckers and destroyers.

Skippy demonstrated this recently, but not as strongly and loudly as he's done in the past.  During the past year, he was magnificent whenever he got drunk and posted on Skins's island, calling for the extermination of this group of people or the liquidation of that group of people.

He tries to come across as, and gives the appearance of, a prosperous middle-aged guy recently returned from a trip to Hawaii, but it's all an act.  Skippy has a major anger inside of him, and it burns.

Skippy hasn't been posting while drunk lately, possibly because he had some brain problems and was put on pharmaceuticals.  He's smart enough to follow doctor's orders, and not suck on the bottle when he's on medications.

One hopes he gets well soon, gets off the pharmaceuticals, gets back to sucking on the bottle and posting while under its influence again.

I also want to nominate Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive, for the Bartholomew Scott award, the "Barry" or the "Skippy," whichever monicker one wishes to use, given to the most paranoid primitive of the past year.

Skippy's been paranoid as all get-out, especially skittish about being quoted in the DUmpster, as if he's embarrassed by things he says.  He forgets that they're his words, not ours.

As usual, my Quixotesque effort to have the Greatest Primitive, Ever, recognized.....

I wish to nominate the late Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, "Redstone," for the William Rivers Pitt award, the "Willie," given to the most-memorable primitive since the surfacing of Skins's island on January 20, 2001.

Chief S itting Bull had it all, every single one of the characteristics that defines a primitive--anger, hate, irrationality, self-pity, self-delusion, and ultimately, self-destruction.

When the Mount Rushmore of the Greatest Primitives is carved out of a granite mountainside in Vermont, the angry mug of Redstone will probably occupy the same position as George Washington on the real Mount Rushmore.

I wish to nominate Lamond, the "MrsCorpio" primitive, for the Nadin Abbott award, given the primitive who thinks the most highly of himself, his intellect, and his talents.

Rarely has a primitive thought so much of himself for so little reason; California Peggy for example has more-solid ground on which to stand, in believing she's the greatest poetess since Elizabeth Browning, than does Lamond for believing he's especially bright.

I wish to nominate Ms. Vanderbilt-Astor, the "NJCher" primitive, for one of the ten spots for Top DUmmies of 2014; mainly for her superioristic elitist attitude--she apparently believes her intestinal contents don't stink--but in addition, for this:

(http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g419/Eferrari/august/njchersoup_zps3d7a4c12.jpg) (http://s1100.photobucket.com/user/Eferrari/media/august/njchersoup_zps3d7a4c12.jpg.html)

Yes, that's Ms. Vanderbilt-Astor's picture, and yes, she actually believes it's appetizing.

Message hidden by jury decision

A Jury voted 5-2 to hide this post on Wed Nov 26, 2014, 07:57 AM. Reason: This post is uncivil, off-topic, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate. When the original post in a discussion thread is hidden by Jury decision, the entire discussion thread is automatically locked so new replies cannot be posted.

I saw the original (but never screen-capped it), and I thought it was a very civil, very cordial, very friendly, post.

Apparently primitives don't care much for civility, cordiality, friendliness?

Three got in before it was hidden, though--but whether on this side of the aisle or that side, I dunno.

the post just hidden called out anonymous posters by name

That's not cool and imo the post should have been deleted, not just hidden. I usually ride really lightly on juries, but I draw the line at risking other people's health and safety.
 
Don't forget that these are real people and there are some real head cases in cyberspace. Identifying people by their real names leaves them at physical risk to some head case. Please don't do that.

"Bartholomew Scott" is a name?

2. I agree, but it isn't like those anonymous

Posters haven't said who they are elsewhere. You give up your sense of anonymity when you reveal your identity. Of course I image you are a "liberal" and taking personal responsibility for your own actions is a foreign concept you. So let me offer up some very simple advice; don't reveal who you are on anonymous message boards and chances are you will remain anonymous. An even wiser choice is to use some misdirection once in a while. Btw I have seen the good ole citizens of du out people many times.

The objecting primitives on Discussionist neglected to notice that the hidden post, and this announcement here in the DUmpster, were carefully crafted so as to not reveal real-life names unless the primitive himself had done so at one time or another on Skins's island.

If they hadn't told us, how would we know what their real-life names are?

<<<really tired of being accused of playing dirty.

<<<plays clean; the record clearly and emphatically shows it.

7. Erring on the side of caution

is exactly right. The people whose names were 'revealed' in the hidden post did the 'revealing' themselves; not by mistake. If you want to ban someone for typing out a name that has been spread all over cyberspace for years then the person who revealed their identity in the first place should also be banned.
 
Digging into someone's identity and posting information about them when they have never revealed themselves anywhere online is another issue.

Geezuz. 

<<<but agrees 100% with the sentiments in the final sentence.

<<<practices what preaches.

Now, of the named awards:

The first is that of an alleged best-selling author, an alleged professional essayist, who uses his real-life name as his screen-name on Skins's island.

The second is that of a several-times candidate for public office who's given out his real-life name on Skins's island many times over the years.

The third is that of a self-published author, a professional journo and photog who uses her real-life name in stuff she puts out, and for "awards" she's been publicly given, and she's cited that as her real-life name on both Skins's island and freerepublic.

The fifth is that of a professional panhandler who uses sites where one's required to list not only one's real-life name but sometimes even one's real-life address and telephone number too (possibly as a means of cutting down on frivolous requests).

Which leaves the fourth award, the one above that.  The fourth award is obviously named for the NYC_SKP primitive, Skippy.  Skippy has never been known to reveal his real-life name on Skins's island, or through a link on Skins's island.

For lack of that information, "Bartholomew Scott" is, obviously, a made-up name; no one's been named "Bartholomew" since the Middle Ages.

Well, most seem to be gone, for the holiday; traffic's really slow.

I want to nominate Big Mo, the "mopinko" primitive, for one of the ten spots on the list of Top DUmmies of 2014, for all the brouhuahua she incited over her urban "farm."

Big Mo's really odd; ever since her soon-to-be-former-husband stopped mollycuddling her, catering to her very whim, doing everything he could to please her, she's no longer as hypochondrial as she used to be--in fact, she's been evolving into a picture of perfect health.

.....liberals have no sense of humor whatsoever.

Of course they don't; to have a proper sense of humor, one must first have a sense of humor about oneself--one's foibles, one's missteps, one's embarrassing predicaments, one's preposterous situations.

The primitives are perfect; they don't make any mistakes.

And so one doesn't expect they get any amusement out of all this merriment.

Actually, the primitives are pious pompous priggish Puritans whose rectal apertures have been sewn shut permanently, meaning the crap inside of them builds up and up and up until inevitably they explode, self-destructing.

Anyway.

For one of the Top DUmmies of 2014, I'm nominating Doc, the PCIntern primitive.

Doc's of course best known for his bouncies, but I'm thinking he more deserves top DUmmiehood given his mule-headed insistence upon sticking with people who hate him because of his Judaic derivation.

If Doc had been around in 1933, he probably would've applied for membership in the largest socialist party in Germany, just to show them that he's a regular guy.

Good morning, and a glorious and happy Thanksgiving to all!

There haven't been many around; Thanksgiving is usually the slowest day of the year for traffic on conservativecave, surpassing even Christmas Day for sluggishness.

It must have something to do with our family values, when compared with the anti-values of the primitives.

I want to nominate malice, the malaise primitive, for Top DUmmies of 2014; she's been around since, well, forever, spewing her sanctimonious malevolence on a variety of subjects, this year concentrating upon supporting murderers of those who seek peace.

malice, who lives in Jamaica, is part of the 1% down there, the uppermost crust, but whlle she constantly bemoans "inequality" in the United States and Israel, she remains utterly silent on the even greater chasm that exists where she lives.

Mr Mannn's Nominations:
Dummy of the Year.
BainsBane rose to great power and her abuse of that power got her banned. See the Willie entry below for more.


Nadin
incapable of learning anything also got herself banned, but like a meteor it was great fun watching her burn on entry and explode on impact. I will visit her crater yearly in tribute.


Skinner.
He invented DI this year and like DU left it to be run by the inmates. His laziness and shirking of duty needs to be rewarded.

Graham4anything. You will be hard pressed to find a greater idiot. Well, OK, DU is full of guys like this. But Graham took the talking points to DI and gets owned on a daily basis…and he thinks he is winning.

William Rivers Pitt award, BainsBane. Leader of the HOF Feminazis, ran a purge that left DU quivering in fear…until they ganged up and alerted her into banishment. Her reign of terror is a textbook example of what happens when any liberal gains power.
Bainsbane tried to do the same thing at DI, but the conservatives laughed at her until she left in utter failure. She was “Lansa” at DI I think.

Steven Dawes award nadinbrzezinski, She got herself banned from both DU and DI. Nads is incapable of learning from her mistakes. She even threatened me with legal action for using the tag: imajournalistdammit on my own threads. She is now relegated to Facebook and her own blog. Such an amusing fall from grace deserves an award.

Nadin Abbott award MrScorpio the most pompous ass over there.

Bartholomew Scott award:  The MastersNemisis a man who’s impotent rage has amused us all.

Group Award: Goes to the History of Feminism board. See the BainsBane entry above. Their reign of terror banned many long time regulars at DU. They labeled everything as rape culture (even Sports Illustrated and comic books). Even the English language falls under their control as words like panties are now sexist and verboten.

Ouch.  One of the nominations I dread, every year.

Because of our old school tie--we were both taught by professors from Yale, Skins in New Haven and franksolich in Lincoln--I'd find it hard to write anything less than fulsome praise of my fellow alum.

However, if he's selected, like a good soldier, I'll do my duty best I can.

His pal Lord Marblehead EarlG, who didn't do a whole lot that was excitingly stupid this past year, would be lots easier; one could write a whole encyclopedia about his pompous flatulent grandiloquence.

However, Skins's pal the elusive enigmatic Elad, the brains behind the operation, would be rather difficult; he's so self-effacing I doubt I could write half a paragraph about him.

Yeah, BainsBane is definitely unforgettable, for a couple of reasons.

I was hoping she'd come back to Skins's island after her sentence of exile was over, but alas she seems to have sulked off somewhere else.

You know, for some reason, I never even thought about the cousin as a candidate for the "Steve," the award given the primitive who proved his own worst enemy, who stumbled on his own blocks, who footed his own mouth, this past year.

But damn, that's an excellent nomination; she surely fills the bill.

Oh my.  That's another one I hadn't thought about, this one for the "Skippy" or the "Barry," the most paranoid primitive this past year.

But he too fills the bill, what with all his grotesque allegations about religious folk, Republicans, and other decent and civilized people.

They labeled everything as rape culture (even Sports Illustrated and comic books). Even the English language falls under their control as words like panties are now sexist and verboten.

On the ballot, I'm going to combine this nomination with mine of the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse, as essentially they're the same primitives.

It's undeniable that women are being used, abused, injured, crippled, murdered, all over the world, but the screeching women's-libbers on Skins's island don't seem to care about those women, probably because those women are being manhandled by racial and ethnic groups it's politically incorrect to criticize.

Try as I can, I can't equate "calling the position a 'mailman' is sexist" with the real ordeals and sufferings of hundreds of millons of those women. 

The other thing that dumbfounds me is how the women's-libbers had their way 99% of the time on Skins's island.  They got damned near everything they wanted.  They got their way more times than any other special-interest group on Skins's island, including the powerfully-influential gays and the terrorist-lovers.

But 99% wasn't enough; they wanted it all.

CalPeggy is almost inevitably the first to post on the majority of GD threads with her/his customary "My dear X" introduction.
It is stupider then tree moss and perhaps most memorable for applauding the departed walrus Doug for his clever sabotage of his former employers property.

For the pittstain award, I gotta go with my long-lost buddy Tom in Tib.

Sorry, sir, but you perhaps didn't see the rules?

No repeats for the "Willie;" it's a one-time award (the only one).

For top 10 DOTY I renominate my perennial favorite DUmbfuk kentuk.
Well along in years and one would think he would have learned something in life but alas,with a head that makes the Scarecrow of Oz raise an eyebrow regarding his stupidity,it is a lost cause.
Not sure he has cracked the top 10 but hope with my somewhat unashamed campaigning for him this year he finally makes it to the big show.

For the William Rivers Pitt award I nominate the California pig,with mouth agape waiting for the apple.

CalPeggy is almost inevitably the first to post on the majority of GD threads with her/his customary "My dear X" introduction.

Have you noticed Skippy does that, too, trying to be the first one to jump in on a new thread?

They do that by watching the "latest threads" page, so that whenever a new topic's posted, they can go right to it.

The bluegrass primitive was #14 in 2013, #14 in 2011, #13 in 2010, #12 in 2005.

Yeah, with a little more effort, he should be able to slip into the top ten this year.

As a matter of historical interest, the only primitives top in 2005 who're still active ten years later are the Bostonian Drunkard, kentuck the bluegrass primitive, Skins, and MrsCorpio.

For the Nadin Abbott award I nominate The MastersNemisis.

It was clear early on that Bob was putting his foot in the door on this award and began the journey of 1000 steps to achieve it.
All his post are hysterical leaps into idiocy as he lectures the DUmp on the evils of conservatism.
Much like a jumping bean,he set foot in every possible subject imaginable.

It is true that entering the home stretch,like many thoroughbreds do,he sprained a hoof but still managed to get himself back on all threes and keep a leg up on the competition.

This dogged perseverance,this stalwart standing alone should make him a shoe in.  :)

It's all about the DOTY.

You know I have to get a few things off my chest. First of all, I cannot tell you just how disappointed I am in the twin gun grabbers Hoyt and onehandle this year. Sometimes I think they are one and the same. But this year they just haven't delivered so no DOTY nomination for them from me. GET SOME VITAMIN E guys/gals.

I had high hopes for another grabber, one newb named bigddaryl. The dude just fizzled, withered on the vine. Too bad.

Oh, and allow me to say in a general sense, I'm really disappointed that the DUmp didn't go into lockdown night of the midterms.

Ok, enough of that. Yes he is new and quite possibly a mole. This candidate for the DOTY reminds me in many way of the primitive ProSense. Really has the talking points down and puts the kabash on any piker that even thinks of challenging his position. I like that in a DUmmy. New to the DUmp it's true but credit where credit is due, I nominate for DOTY  KingCharlemagne aka... CharlieMange. My DUmmy mole had a brief exchange with him.

Coach, maybe we should have a rookie of the year award?

My good pal Manny's a two-legged walking definition of "charisma."

No, that's not why, but that's pretty good.

Manny kept the hive stirred up this past year, with his rants and his "Third Way Manny" posts. So I have to give him a couple of points for that. Same with WillyT and cali.

To me, this past year has been a battle between the "we must defend Obama/Democrats no matter what" group and the "we either get back to being FDR Dems or why are we even doing this" group. So I'd say the focus of my picks this year will be among those who were in the trenches on that.

This contest is going to be hard for me.  First of all, I don't like the Primitives.  Their constant whining just blends into one big noisy blur.  They are so unimportant that very few of their names stick in my head or when I recognize a name, I can't connect it to their general situation or personality traits.  Rather than their over-all persona, I'm more inclined to pick one out on the basis of a specific situation that they brought upon themselves, and I found great humor in it.   I've also not been here as long as some of you to know the old timers.

That's fine; there's two ways, both of them good, one can look at the primitives.

One can look at the primitives as individuals, or at their situation.

The DUmpster tends to do the former, P-J Comix's DUmmie FUnnies the latter.

And as for not being familiar with some primitives, that's the purpose of this thread, and the voting thread to come next weekend; if one has a question, one's free to ask, and we're happy to answer.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025883069

DUmmies think that if they keep saying the same stupid things over and over again, it will happen. In response to a campfire where they are discussing the day when young men of color stop burning and looting black neighborhoods and move to the 1% residential areas, they never consider that someday middle-class whites just might go on a spree in the projects. If whites hate blacks as much as the DUmmies say, then why hasn't it already happened? Answer: law abiding whites and blacks stay law abiding. Non-law abiding blacks know that they can riot in the hood without a good chance of anything happening to them.

IIRC, didn't she think the raccoon was rabid?  (Hell, if it bit her, I could see the inference.)

For goodness sake, this is NOT 2010, so enough of the stupid crazy idiotic bullshit of virtually supporting the corporate media meme that the Dems are going to have such a bad election year. Don't you see what is going on? Same old corporate media shit. Saying that D's are going to have a bad year thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy designed to depress Dem turnout. Don't let them get away with it. There hasn't even been a campaign yet for Christ sake.

First, the ECONOMY IS DOING BETTER AND THAT WILL CONTINUE. THIS IS NOT 2010.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO STOP OBAMACARE. DEFEND THE LAW !

Next, polls do not mean diddly ****ing shit right now, and the polls are CLOSE anyway. There are TONS of Dem opportunities not just at the national level but at the state level as well. Look at what we are doing in Maine. Great candidates. Pounding the SHIT out of our TeaBag governor, and gearing up for one humdinger of a campaign. We have a strong grassroots progressive in Shenna Bellows running for US Senate. We have Mike Michaud running for gov., the first openly gay man to do so. We have great candidates for all the state and local level races, and we recently had AWESOME turnouts at our party caucuses. We are PSYCHED UP ! And we are going to take the RePUKES to the god damned woodshed !

We have great opportunities at the state level in AR, GA, PA, and even in TX it's becoming more purple all the time, and others as well.

What do Dems need to do? ATTACK the Republicans as the radical ****nuts that they are, and then say VOTE FOR US AND WE WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET HEALTHCARE, UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE, AND HELP WITH COLLEGE.<--- Yeah, let's give away free shit! That always works!!!

And then campaign like hell and get the voters to the polls.

THIS IS NOT 2010. Don't let the ****wad corporate media get away with making people think it is.

Yeah, the big guy won the "Steve" two years ago, being the primitive who made the biggest ass of himself in 2012 (www.electstevedawes.com and all that).

One can repeat for all the awards excepting the "Willie."

Perceptions of course vary, and dissent is welcome, but I myself am a little hard-pressed to see where he made a particular ass of himself this year.

Nominations accepted of course, but I'm not intimately acquainted with these two primitives, and so likely many others who'll be voting aren't themselves.

A half a sentence or so, describing what made them stand out in 2014?

Pro-terrorist, anti-peace-loving Israel haters, maybe?

Guide us, if convenient.

For the Steven Senti award I nominate rbrnmw who started begging for money to help a poor soul involved in an accident that killed some people.

How horribly it went wrong once more proves why they are called DUmmies.

Yeah, the big guy won the "Steve" two years ago, being the primitive who made the biggest ass of himself in 2012 (www.electstevedawes.com and all that).

One can repeat for all the awards excepting the "Willie."

Perceptions of course vary, and dissent is welcome, but I myself am a little hard-pressed to see where he made a particular ass of himself this year.


IMO, all he ever does is make an ass of himself. Every. Single. Post. shows what an ass he truly is. Now that could just be me and my particular dislike of Captain Neckbeard, which is entirely possible. And if we're honest, it would be nigh impossible for him to top his 2012 showing because that was asshattery of the highest caliber. I just think that, given his fragile health, it would be nice to give him his namesake award one last time. A fitting tribute, if you will.

For the "stewert," the freeloadingest primitive, I'd like to nominate are_grits_groceries, the little old lady down south who's begged a great many times for money to pay for repairs on her motor vehicle, or veterinary bills for her cats--but then allegedly had ample cash in hand to donate to the Democrat senatorial candidate in Kentucky this past year.

And also, for the same award, the Left Coast2020 primitive; his saga actually began in December 2013, but it carried on into the new year, until spring.

I may need the help of a fellow DU'ER in Nor-Cal/Sac area.

Its difficult for me to post this, but I am running out of options. I am being forced out of my current residence and could be homeless by end of month.
 
The good news I will be out and done with tea bag landlord. The bad news is this came at begining of month with no warning.
 
Getting a bit discouraged too. I have been communicating with local churches and coming up empty. I get lots of prayers, but nothing encouraging.
 
I guess this is not a good place to come to but I consider this my only family--at the moment. Can't talk about life and emotions to a tea bagger who is only good at bashing Mr. O, playing computer games all day, and watching her favorite episode of O'Liely.
 
Though they don't know my politics, I am a TRUE progressive and thrive on intelligent conversation, people with common sense, and those who love their fellow man.
 
The stress in my stomach is getting increasely more painfull as I have never had to experience this ever. I care about people and show compassion to those around me.
 
I thought about this, and decided I needed to reach out to my fellow DU-er's since I am getting increasingly scared. Just wondering if there is something out there in what I know as my only family at the moment. Need to see if this can help keep me from falling apart totally. I'm a fighter, but sometimes you can't do these things alone.
 
Not sure what else to say. I'll keep it there and see what happens.

Thank you

I'm open to other options outside this area.

Well, then, you should consider voting nutcase nadin for DOTY.

In a very small way, she's a kindred spirit.

He may have, sadly, sprung loose of this mortal coil; remember, he wasn't in very good shape.  And the primitives, with their short-term or no-term memories, forgot who he was ten minutes after he disappeared from Skins's island, and so wouldn't have marked his passing.

Two others who possibly sprung loose this past year would be dear old sweet Lu, "Lucinda" of the cooking and baking forum, whose demise wouldn't have been noted because she rarely if ever posted, and the Las Vegas Leviathan.

<<<thinks the primitives need to do a better job keeping track of, checking in on, each other.

The Walrus brought me to CC, and he has all but disappeared from DU.  I don't know what to do with myself.

Come to think of it, walrus-face, the brain-damaged primitive, has a long and inglorious history of spewing hate on Skins's island; surely at least ten years.

That's why there was so much glee and jubilation when he screwed up, hoisted his own petard, caused his own demise; many of us thought it long, long past time he got what he deserved.  And he got it doing it to himself, all by himself.

It was a long time a-comin'.

And so I'm nominating "DainBramaged" for the "Willie," as one of the most-memorable primitives of all time.

For the Steven Dawes award I nominate farmer Mo.
So far this year it has driven off the long suffering husband,called the authorities on a tenant largely because she wouldn`t let her child hang out with the crazy old bat.
All the while it turned a clean vacant lot into an overgrown,stinking,rat infested mess full of chicken shit,junk vehicles,garbage and weeds.
Surprisingly all this has led to the zoning board receiving numerous complaints and filing several charges.

Of course in the world of a DUmbass mind,it did nothing wrong and any suggestion it did is greeted with rage,scorn and insults.
It should tell you how much of a mess you have made of everything you touch when your best defender and friend is skippy.

I'm finding a "truebluegreen" and a "trueblue2007," but no "true blue door" primitive.

Coach, my dear lad, here is but one example:

Quote
True Blue Door (1,509 posts)

We should know by now which races are rigged. Do we?
By now we should already have a firm accounting of voters who have been denied the right to vote due to Jim Crow 2, and have a good statistical grasp of what districts their exclusion will be decisive in. So I'd like to know the following if anyone has this information:

1. How many do we know firmly to have been excluded nationwide?
2. How many more may be excluded on election day?
3. How many local, state, and federal seats is this likely to be decisive in?
4. Is this likely to be the decisive factor in determining control of the Senate?
5. Are there any states whose legislatures will fall - or fail to become Democratic - due to Jim Crow 2?
6. Governorships?
7. Is the Democratic Party prepared to call races where Jim Crow 2 is decisive fraudulent?
8. Is the Democratic Party prepared to call the loss of the Senate or statehouses fraudulent if due to Jim Crow 2?
9. Has the Democratic Party prepared effectual strategic and tactical mechanisms to resist the illegal political actions of such illegitimate office thieves, when The Five fascist revolutionaries on the Supreme Court inevitably find in favor of their accomplices?
10. Assuming the Democratic Party will do nothing, probably because Hillary Clinton (superb Republican that she is) will say not to, does anyone else have a plan?


     TBD is a relative newcomer whose MO is to write long, rambling posts filled with lists (which are sometimes enumerated, as above), and which require readers to do a substantial amount of homework. When anyone points out that DU is a message board and not a home base for the farts of a failed revolutionary, TBD gets all huffy-puffy. On a site filled with pompous blowhards, TBD seems to have two blowholes. Lest you think I'm simply picking on the man, see if you can remember this stinkeroo:

Quote
Star Member True Blue Door (1,509 posts)

Please stop posting the following idiotic bullshit:
1. Claiming that American culture is conservative.
2. Broad smears about American voters.
3. Media-driven narratives about America as a whole choosing the GOP.
4. Whining about the Democratic Party or its leaders.

We have watched the Republican Party prepare this result for a long time through utterly lawless, criminal, and to some extent treasonous means, including nakedly unconstitutional vote suppression tactics, the elimination of campaign finance laws through fascist revolutionary judicial fiat, and other methods that go far beyond their otherwise legitimate ****ery (e.g., campaign lying). We know for a fact they engaged in crime to produce this result - we just don't know if they would have won anyway.

So we still do not know whether these criminal tactics were decisive. In other words, we don't know yet whether the result bears any meaningful resemblance to what actually happened at the polls. So don't waste anyone's time whining about what this election means, or who is to blame for it, unless you have something factual to contribute to serve as a basis, because you can't know the significance of events whose details you don't even know.

Every election that Republicans win or steal, the same script plays out. The same idiotic bullshit listed above gets said, so predictably that the process might as well be automated. Well stop it. Stop acting like robots. Stop being prompted by the media. Their scripts are written in advance - years in advance, frankly - but yours don't have to be. You are conscious human beings, so act like it.

Start asking important questions and putting together information to answer them. When you have your answers, then start talking about what to do with them. Here are the questions I have:

1. How many voters do we know firmly to have been illegally excluded nationwide?
2. How many local, state, and federal seats were decided on the basis of voter exclusions?
3. Was this decisive in determining the Senate?
4. Was it decisive in determining state legislatures?
5. Governorships?
6. Were other problems that have been identified decisive in any of these races?
7. Is the Party actively investigating these problems, and the effects of vote suppression?
8. Will the Party declare races decided due to vote suppression fraudulent?
9. If it is found that the Senate majority was determined by vote suppression, is the Party prepared to declare GOP attempts to assume control of the Senate fraudulent and resist any illegal actions they attempt to take?

Until we have at least some answers to these questions, there is nothing else to say in a broad way about the election. Individual races can be commented upon competently, but anything broader in the absence of specific facts is just either speculation or media propaganda parroting unworthy of a strong citizen.

Notice the paternalism, the question-begging rhetorical pomposity, and the general whiff of IPA and lentil gas.

TBD deserves the Academy's consideration.

When searching primitives, I always have a problem with "searching" more than one word, in this case "true blue" or "blue door" or "true blue door;" I get miles and miles of irrelevant junk, not worth sifting through.

Which leads to another nomination for the "group" award, the primitive scammers.

They're not a cohesive group--they're more like a whole lot of lone wolves acting independently of each other but with the same end in mind, that of bilking the other primitives of their welfare cash, because it's easier than going out and earning the money themselves, for whatever it is they're fishing for money.

Think of stewert, are_grits_groceries, the left coast primitive, the rbrnmw primitive, the child molestor in Chicago (no, not Fat Che; I checked the sexual offenders registry for Fat Che, coming up dry, which surprised the Hell out of me), chubby Amber--they have no association with each other, and don't coordinate things with each other, but they all have the same goal.

Post by: BattleHymn on December 03, 2014, 06:31:55 PM
Top Ten:

grasswipe Judy (grasswire):  After deciding to spread her own brand of stupid to more diverse forums on Skin's island, Judy had definitely secured a spot on the nomination list.  I have no idea what she's thinking, or if she's thinking at all, but some of her comments have been so stupid, I'd be ashamed to even row them back over to the DUmpster for further analysis.  None of them really stick out for reaching that outrageously stupid level (think rsmithnumbers), but they certainly demand one stand up and take note of them.  She's been like the mailman lately (no offense, miskie), and regularly just plopping a comment here and there, annoying the other primitives with her Google-fu. 

rsmithnumbers (rsmith6621):  No DOTY list is complete without throwing rsmithnumber's stupid ass on it for consideration.  I mean, come on, just look at the guy!  He's the quintessential late middle aged primitive male: slack-jawed, misfitting clothes- heck- even his man tits are so ashamed to be attached to his stupid ass that they are in a constant state of embarrassment, practically pointing straight down at the ground, in contrast to the ready-to-stick-you-in-the-eye ones that Bainesbane sports. 

Minnesota Moses (MineralMan):  The only reason to try to trudge through one of Moses' long-winded diatribes is solely for their potential comedic value, as nothing of value ever lies therein. 

One-legged Bob (TheMastersNemesis):  Anytime a primitive loses a body part, they're practically a shoe-in shoo-in for a nomination.  More than likely, Bob's award will be a posthumous one, due to his sever severe anger issues.

(Former) Threadslayer (cbayer):  The boat-living primitive who lives in a houseboat smaller than frank's bathroom, and has an oven the size of a postage stamp.

HAMber (Lady Freedom Returns): The #2 DUmmie of 2013 has really fallen out of favor as of recent in the DUmp, as well as in the DUmpster.  The primitives hitched their wagon to this fat and dumb horse early on, and now just let her inane threads die with hardly a reply.  Earlier this year in January she managed to score food stamps from the good people of Arizona, and then later in May, a job at a call center that she is no doubt managing now.   A quick tour through The Dumpster between March and May will turn up a lot of her threads, so she belongs on this list. 
 

are_grits_groceries:  (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130424184958/simpsons/images/b/bd/Eleanor_Abernathy.png)






I have a couple others that I'm trying to recall why exactly they stuck out in my mind this year.  I should be back to add them later, but I wanted to get these two idiots added beforehand.

For the Group Award:

Baghdad Bobs: This is the group of primitives who went around for weeks leading up to the election making bold predictions and telling the other primitives that everything was going to be okay.  Obviously, much to the detriment of the BB's, good and decent people triumphed on Election Day, which led to so much Freudenshade and hilarity that yours truly took the following day off from work, just so I could swim in the sweet, sweet tears of despair. 

A few examples of the Baghdad Bobs at work:

If Every Democrat Goes Out And Votes On Tuesday, Do You Know What We'll Wake Up To On Wednesday? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025749711) 

Prediction: Lack of Repub enthusiasm cracks the Dem door open for a great day, if we turn out.. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025754292)

the gun-grabbers
the nuts
the 0bamacare fanatics
the cop-hating racist primitives
the women's libbers

If the names are confusing, such as the Baghdad Bobs or the nuts, there'll be a concise description of each candidate or group on the ballot.

A fine crop of losers, freeloaders, and head cases.

For the Bartholomew Scott award I nominate Rob "Atman" McGrath.

One of the stupidest,most useless and deviant (we all saw the public pic of him leering at the camera posing in a bathtub pic with a small child) idiots to post at the DUmp.
However,even though qualifying for other awards he set himself apart by fussing to staff here about how posting his own public truths were damaging his career.
A career that was apparently mission out of control enough to be terminated at a boiler room photo shop room begging for DNC money during the 2012 election cycle.

Sorry Pedro,your failure at life is because you are just simply an ignorant freak but since you can`t recognize that I can`t think of a better award for you then the Barry.

Their defenses of Obama have grown increasingly robotic. I think of them as O-tomatons.

I naturally lean towards thinking of them as...zombies for owebuma.

Before I forget--I'd like to nominate "stewert".....for the "stewert" award, given the freeloadingest primitive.

Also, the IronGate primitive, probably a mole who netted much dough off the primitives for some facetious cause.

I nominate angstlessk.  She's managed so far this year to not kill her s/o, herself,  or get an ax in the head.  She finds not drinking to be boring, and that putting cats in the crisper in the refrigerator is a good idea.

Another one I would like to nominate is diabeticman.  The man with no self identity and who lives vicariously through his wife.

Good nominations.  I myself keep on forgetting to include the angst primitive among the nuts, for some reason. 

The diabetic primitive is a good one too, but again here's a case where I myself keep on confusing him with the mrmrspa primitive; I think it's because they're about the same age, and live in the western half of Pennsyhlvania.

One can get overloaded on information about the primitives, after which it all gets muddled up.  There are days.....there are days.....when I get Skippy mixed up with Atman, for example.  Probably because both of them make poor choices in haberdashery.

If only I could invent a mole who could suck DU dry of any handouts for leeches. I would remit the amount collected to a more worthy cause. Almost any other cause would be more worthy.

From our sister site conservativeunderground:

for the Top DUmmies, 1strongblackman, sheshe2, and Cha.

for the "Steve," the primitive who most made an ass of himself, Drunken Irishman.

The other thread in that one forum'll be added to later today.

By the way, don't any veteran primitive-watchers (1000+ posts) forget there's two valuable resources for when considering the primitives:

the other nominating thread:
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=99355.0

miscellaneous primitive dirt:
http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=81827.0

Now, the second one's 109 pages long at the moment; don't however think one has to read it all.  Just the last 8-10 pages.  If one reads further back than that, one's gonna get a whole lot of blank comments.

That's because the "miscellaneous" thread is where new information is immediately posted.  And then later it gets organized and filed, breaking the links.

IMO, Police should keep their glocks locked in the trunk while on patrol.
Weapons could be retrieved when the situation calls for deadly force.

I nominate CK_John as a dark horse (is that racist?) candidate for one of the top 10 DUmmies of the year.

The czech primitive is an oddball over there, isn't he?

Good nomination!

Well, it's 4:00 p.m. and already dark as midnight out here in the Sandhills of Nebraska; only a couple more hours before nominations close and this thread gets locked.

There's some, uh, gaps in nominations, though, and I'm here to fill them up.

As most here might recall, on April 21 of this year, conservativecave was taken down by a massive "attack"--denial of service, or something like that--and the primitives, led by Atman, orgiastically rejoiced.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024856588

A new conservativecave, stronger and somewhat remodelled, came back on line on May 19--an event not noted by the primitives.

USA4ME posted this, and the whole two-and-a-half pages are well worth reading:

http://conservativecave.com/index.php?topic=96098.0

He also included a list of primitives who particularly exulted in the brief interruption of this worthy public service for the Good of Humanity.

Some of those primitives on that list have already been nominated for Top DUmmiehood or one of the special awards; many of the others are merely lumpenunterprimitiven, part of the faceless lynch mob, PonP (primitives of no prominence), primitives who don't count.

But there's some worthwhile candidates on that list, and I'd like to nominate them for the Top DUmmies of 2014--not only because of their piggish gloating about our very temporary misfortune, but also because of their other activities this past year:

darkangel218
Gothmog, the Texas pyramid
hrmjustin, nadin's lustknaub

"Campaigning" for one's favorite primitives has been allowed on this thread, and will of course be allowed on the voting thread, too.

And so now in the dying hour of nominations, I want to put in a good word for one of my candidates, NYC_SKP, Skippy, in the hopes that it can help persuade others, and that he ends up somewhere in the Top Ten.

Skippy's not my own choice for Top DUmmie, but he's my choice for #02 Top DUmmie of 2014.

Some might wonder, "Why Skippy?  He seems such a benign, cherubic middle-aged guy whose biggest fault is his penchant for really bad haberdashery.....and he always has an encouraging word for his fellow primitives in one strait or another."

I might remind--things are rarely as they seem to be.

As we all know, the primitives are generally windbags, keyboard warriors, loudmouths, lazing around waiting for "someone else" to do their work.

Skippy however is an exception; despite his brain problems earlier this year that seem to have diminished his cerebral strength somewhat, he's still got an awesome lot of grey matter to work with, inside his skull.

I assure others Skippy is the real thing; a real and present threat to our rights and liberties, to our very lives.  He's probably the most dangerous primitive around.
