Andy Martin is insane

Andy Martin, self-described Internet Powerhouse, is a crazy mofo. He’s also running for the Illinois senate and courting the Teabag Nation. Thus, TarsTarkas.NET will have a celebration….of how crazy Andy Martin is!

Andy Martin’s primary oppoent in the Illinois Senate Primary is Mark Kirk, who is a jerkwad semi-moderate pretending to be an insane Wingnut to try to gain the teabagger vote. He is failing, as the teabaggers hate him for his previous votes in the house. Andy Martin saw an opportunity and is trying to gank the following that Mark Kirk so desperately wants.

Andy Martin unloaded a Press Release calling himself an “Internet Powerhouse” and suing Wikipedia and Wikimedia for being “a tax-exempt protosocialist scam that seeks to harass Republicans, conservatives and Obama opponents“. I guess someone lost his edit war. You would think an Internet Powerhouse would be better at camping edits, but, I guess he was out-sperged.

HuffPost sez:

“No one could characterize the Wikipedia entry on my extraordinary life of public service and personal sacrifice as ‘neutral and impartial,'” Martin says. “It is obviously nothing more than a political smear by Barack Obama’s rabid supporters. Wikimedia and Wikimedia are tax-exempt protosocialist scams that target conservatives, Republicans and opponents of Obama. I am a triple threat when it comes to being the target of Obama agents.

“I am fighting back. We need to expose Wikimedia’s scams. Wikimedia/Wikipedia use tax-exempt resources to spew their venom on innocent victims Martin says. “The public is also a victim of fraud by these leftist Obamabots. I want to bring the facts and the truth about these protosocialist provocateurs to the attention of the American people;

Stories even make note that Andy Martin claims that “Obama’s real father is not Barack Obama Sr., but is Frank Marshall Davis, an African American journalist of the 1950s.” I am not sure how that would make Barack Obama ineligible as a Birther argument, as it would prove Obama is a US citizen (if that was true and Martin wasn’t freaking nuts!) One thing for certain, Martin was at the Second national Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and College Records held in New York, as it is specifically mentioned in the PR.

Some history of Andy Martin:

Mr. Martin is the vessel of the venom. He is a frequent candidate with a history of stridently anti-Jewish comments. As a law school graduate named Anthony Martin-Trigona, he was rejected for entry to the Illinois bar due to a psychiatric finding of a “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”

He was a nasty critic of Mr. Obama’s presidential campaign, helping to spread the lie of his being Muslim, and was central to a Fox News Channel schlock-umentary, “Obama and Friends: The History of Radicalism,” hosted by Sean Hannity. Described as an “author and journalist,” Mr. Martin was given a national forum to assert without rebuttal that Mr. Obama trained to overthrow the government. Rarely has the emptiness of the channel’s “fair and balanced” mantra been more vivid.

I guess being an Internet Powerhouse means you have 5 million blogs:

Andy Martin: Contrarian Commentary has some great articles like:

Are the Obamas the new White House version of TV’s “The Jeffersons?”

Do the Obamas and Salahis share common characteristics?

Should Tiger Woods try to crash a White House party to reclaim his “privacy?”

What does Santa have to say about all of this commotion?

(CHICAGO)(December 3, 2009) A third of a century ago, President Richard Nixon created the modern era of “separation of powers” jurisprudence by claiming “executive privilege” to prevent White House aides from testifying before Congress and courts. Nixon created a major constitutional scandal. And lost.

In 2009, the Obama Family White House, which is looking increasingly like the TV sitcom “The Jeffersons,” is claiming executive privilege to prevent staff members from disclosing the truth about the couple that has been called the “White House party crashers.” Tareq and Michaele Salahi may have to star in a new sitcom, the “Real Housewives of the White House.”

By “stonewalling” the Congress (“stonewalling” is another “Watergate word”) Obama is making what should have been a minor embarrassment into a minor constitutional scandal. Like Nixon, he’s losing.

…..

African-Americans, of course, are trying to convert the embarrassing incident of the Salahi social climbers into a national security threat involving potential terrorists. Congressman Bennie Thompson is trying to revive fears of a racial attack on Obama. I don’t think the Salahis’ misbehavior is a light matter, but it is equally not a threat to the republic. In fact, security services often learn from their occasional mistakes. Let’s hope the Secret Service did. No one wishes the Obamas any physical harm.

It is clear that in trying to do things their way, “the Chicago Way,” the Obamas are increasingly taking on the airs of “The Jeffersons,” the social climbing TV sitcom family with whom the Obamas seem to share some characteristics. Why was security reduced after Obama took over the White House? Trying to make the place look more open? Putting on the Ritz? Ooops.

The Salahis and Obamas could also be peas in the same pod, or podcast. The Salahis were trying to crash a party at the White House; the Obamas crashed the White House in 2008, with a campaign of lies and misrepresentations that were much more toxic than the Salahis’ pretensions.

Obama had no business in the White House. In that regard, he shares a lot in common with Tareq and Michaele Salahi.

….

The only thing missing: when is Tiger going to try and crash a White House party, claming that is the only place he feels private enough? It’s coming. Can the Tiger Woods “birthers” be far behind?

The silly season of mid-December news is upon us. What? There’s no Santa Claus? Omigod. What will they expose next? Isn’t Santa entitled to his privacy? Doesn’t he deserve some “executive privilege” with his elves at the North Pole?

Is Santa really going to replace Rudolph and the reindeer with a golf cart? Only Tiger Woods can tell us. And he’s not talking. Remember, if you decide to get Santa’s attention, bash in the rear windows to see his reaction, not the driver-side window. Not at all. As Santa would say, “Ho. Ho. Ho.” Or as Tiger Woods would say: “ho, ho, ho.” Where are the Salahis and Obamas when we really need them? Watching reruns of “The Jeffersons,” no doubt.

I love how he seems to be claiming that the only supporters of Barack Obama are African-Americans, all of whole as a collective group are trying to spin the White House partycrasher story as if that is the biggest concern in the nation. Then Tiger Woods is brought up for no reason except he is another black male for Andy Martin to bash and compare to Barack Obama. And it is all George Jefferson’s fault, somehow.

His BoycottHawaii.co… campaign worked so well that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh had their most recent vacations at Hawaii (along with Obama himself and Nancy Pelosi!) So we can see that Martin is a man who can produce results.

Also because people stopped paying attention to Andy Martin for a few minutes, he introduced Phase One or something and released ads claiming his Republican primary opponent Rep. Mark Kirk is gay. With that level of discourse, the teabaggers are probably creaming their pants itching to vote for Martin!

One thing is for certain, Martin will not win. The thing that not is certain is if he will torpedo Kirk and take him down with him. And it looks like he is achieving that goal. Thank you, teabaggers! We await February 2nd (Primary day) to see the meltdown after Martin gets a whole 3% of the vote!

Sometimes the Wingnut Webs write themselves…

Kentucky Republican Senatorial candidate Rand Paul (son of Ron Paul of RONPAULRONPAULRONPAULPR0NRAUL!!!! fame) had his spokesperson Christopher Hightower resign in disgrace over Racism and Satanism. Yes. So Christopher Hightower had this on his MySpace page for two years (posted by someone else):

Wingnut Web – Glenn Beck’s Plan Leaves Resistnet In The Dark

Glenn Beck announced his “Plan” – aka sell a bunch of books to gullible teabaggers who will buy anything that promises to save them from Commie Obama Usurpers – and did so at a rally at a Florida retirement home. He also did so without contacting Grassfire.org/Resistnet.com, who Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project had been coordinating a march on DC on 9-11-10. Instead, Glenn Beck randomly announces a march on DC on 8-28-10! Yes, two weeks earlier, and on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream Speech. Prepare for your dream to be co-opted by a jerkoff using the date to sell his crappy book to a bunch of racists, Dr. King! Yes, the whole thing is to support Beck’s upcoming book, The Plan, which has a 100 year plan for America. I am sure the book will be horrible, but not as horrible as Palin’s book. But it will sell a bajillion copies, thanks to the teabagging rallies across the USA. Too bad for Resistnet, though, what with them being caught holding the bag on Beck’s other rally he summarily dropped. I am sure the reaction will not be over the top…

No he didn’t!

Wingnut Web – Glenn Beck’s big plan

Glenn Beck vows to go full frontal teabagger in 2010, teaming up with Resistnet.com to teabag the entire US of A! One good thing about this…Resistnet.com will no longer shrivel up and die, they’ll get a whole new batch of crazy mofos that will keep Wingnut Web in business for a long time. Thank you, Glenn Beck, and I hope you get more victories like your victory in NY-23! WooooOOOOooooOOOOooOOOO!!!!!

Glenn Beck to announce ‘big plan’ for 2010

Glenn Beck, the controversial Fox News television host, is planning on becoming more active in the populist conservative movement he spawned, according to sources familiar with his thinking.

At a rally Saturday at a massive retirement community in central Florida, Beck is planning to unveil what he has billed as a “big plan” for 2010, which is expected to involve the 9.12 Project, the group he started earlier this year and named for the day after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, when he says the nation was unified.

“Coming this January, my whole approach changes on this program,” he hinted cryptically on his Wednesday show. “This next year is going to be critical and I think it’s going to change and I think we are going to set it right, at least set our course right. And if that means the Democrats or the Republicans are destroyed along the way, well, good. Good.”

Beck’s Saturday rally, which is set for 3 p.m. will be broadcast live on Fox, and is timed to coincide with the kickoff of a tour promoting his new book, “Arguing with Idiots.”

The 2010 march – called the “We the People Restore Our Constitution March, Rally and 9/11 Memorial” – is planned for Washington’s National Mall. Its other co-sponsor is an online activism group called ResistNet.com.

ResistNet’s Darla Dawald credited Beck with setting in motion the march, but said he’s not involved in its planning. “Glenn doesn’t want it to be about him – always about the people,” Dawald, who is leading march planning for ResistNet, wrote in an email. “He wanted the 9.12 Project people (grassroots) to be involved and step forward – not him.”

Christine Drawdy, a Florida event promoter involved in the Tea Party and 912 movements who is listed as the travel coordinator for the 2010 march, said the permit for the march is in the name of The 9.12 Project’s administrator, Yvonne Donnelly.

Though Drawdy stressed that Beck “is not the leader of” the 912 movement, she added “all he has to do is say something and they’ll jump.”

ResistNet’s Dawald said she was asked to join the march planning effort by Donnelly, who works with Beck on the 9.12 Project website but did not respond to an email message.

Glenn Beck – Beck to the Future!

After the election of Barack Obama, Glenn Beck has skyrocketed near the top of the Wingnut talking head group. Although not yet able to topple Rush from the top, Glenn Beck has cemented his number two slot, dethroning and worrying competitors Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity. Beck’s radio and tv show has mutated from yet another right wing radio show to one of the most vocal and ridiculous critics of Barack Obama. Beck’s ability to cry for just about everything, along with his constant grandstanding with gimmicks such as The 9-12 Project, have made him a rallying point. The Teabaggers are basically his babies. Just imagine them shooting out of Beck’s vagina, screeching about socialism and “Where’s the Birth Certificate??” Or don’t, because that is disturbing.

Glenn Beck started out on morning zoo radio shows, doing a variety of them across the country during the 1990s. One such job was with Tim Hattrick on Y95 in Phoenix, AZ. A commercial of this has appeared on YouTube:

Glenn Beck’s radio talk show premiered in 2000. His original shows weren’t anywhere near as extreme as now, as you can see thanks to the Wayback Machine archives of his old websites! Check out these archives

There are a few things that would make modern fans cringe. Heck, there are things that make me cringe, like this:

Glenn Beck – Qur’an reader! Qur’an recommender. I am sure now he will say it was recommended so that you could know your enemy, but that doesn’t sound like pre-9-11 Wingnut thinking to me. And “da’wah” means the teaching of Islam.
