Woman advocates idea of blowing up gay-friendly high school, calls it "poetic justice"

Note that the link simply goes to a blog post about this woman. It includes an actual link to her blog, which I can't bring myself to click because I like my blood pressure the way it is, thank you.

ETA: queencallipygos actually followed the link and found that the woman apparently took down the blog post in question, so all we have left is the quoted portion. That's bad enough, of course.

Son Of ETA: doomsday brought a link to the post via Google Cache. Apparently it was reported to Blogger as hate speech by several people, so the crazy woman may not have taken it down of her own accord and instead it was TOSed.

Name on government watch list threatens pilot's career

Quoted from the article:

Scherfen is a convert to Islam. His wife emigrated from Pakistan when she was 17 and is now a U.S. citizen. She runs a small business selling books and DVDs about Islam, publications she describes as nonpolitical.

Scherfen and Tareen have both been stopped when traveling and told by security personnel that they are on "a list." Scherfen calls it "embarrassing."

YES, BECAUSE MUSLIM = TERRORIST. MMMMHMMM.

When a 25-year-old Manhattan graduate student who was assaulted Tuesday night got dressed that morning, she probably didn’t anticipate that her T-shirt would provoke four teens into shoving her, pulling out her earphones and spitting in her face.

Then again, with a shirt sporting the slogan, “Obama is my slave,” it may have been wise to consider the possibility.

Now she’s suing the $69 shirt’s designer, Apollo Braun, for “all he’s got,” the designer claims.

The designer says he doesn't like Obama "because he's a Muslim," and that he's moved shirts that say things like, "Jews against Obama," "Obama=Hitler" and "Who Killed Obama?"

I can't decide what fails most: that someone designed this shirt, that someone bought it (for $69!), or that the person who bought it is now trying to sue the designer because, surprise, surprise, it got a poor reception on the streets of New York.

ETA: No, I'm not condoning the attack upon the woman, no matter how offensively racist her shirt was. Questioning her judgment, yeah, but I'm not endorsing the teens who attacked her. Physical violence is also for the fail. Just FYI.

William Sanders, editor of Helix, rejected a story by Luke Jackson. Typical for the publishing world, right? Not when the rejection letter praises the author for "...a good job of exploring the worm-brained mentality of [Muslims] - at the end we still don't really understand it, but then no one from the civilized world ever can...".

Naturally, a furor ensues. The recipient of the letter jumps in, *defending* Sanders.

There is bonus side wank about whether rejection letters are fair game for posting in public.

And now, baby penguins.

Why can't there be a list of the 25 coolest white people?

Summary: Responding to a caller who said, "I had to explain to my young son why these two men were holding hands the other day," Michael Savage stated, "You've got to explain to the children ... why God told people this was wrong." He went on to say, "You have to explain this to them in this time of mental rape that's going on. The children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."

Last year it was Lesbian Gangs with Pink Guns [no really], and now its the Homosexual Mafia.

I quit. I'm officially giving up my membership in "straight". Dip me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians (and bisexuals, except they don't exist).

Sri Lankan Man Released After Being 50-Year Victim of Bureaucracy

I'm still boggling over how they could just forget for fifty years.

Judge throws out part of the PATRIOT Act.

Here's to tossing out the rest of that piece of shit.

I've been reading JF for awhile, and i've only noticed a single post mentioning this.
Hopefully you know of the beheading video. If not, some links to enlighten:

Radio Free Europe: Controversy Grows Around Russian Beheading Video
NY Times: Beheading and Shooting by Russian Neo-Nazis on Video

Okay. That done, on to the meat of the issue:

Gee, this looks like a screencap from the video:

Hosted right on LJ's own gallery service, no less.
His journal: http://vik23.livejournal.com (plug that url into google's russian->english beta, and see what you get.)

Snagged and (badly)translated from here (emphasis mine):
As has been discovered, a suspect is a 23-year-old Victor Milkov, a student absentee office Adygeyskogo Technological University. He was the National Socialist Party of Russia, and to life earns painting orders. Mr Milkov blogging in "Living Magazine" (Livejournal?) by anyone "vik23." This web diary on August 12 has reference to the spot, and August 13 -- Party statement that it is the armed wing of the National Socialist Society (PDF), together known participate in the "Russian marches and disperse gay parades. Yesterday against Mr. Milkova a criminal case was opened under Article 282 of the Russian Criminal Code (incitement of ethnic hatred), which provides for punishment of up to five years' imprisonment.

...So he's being charged, and his content remains up, untouched? (I can understand the necessity of keeping evidence for prosecution; however, this doesn't necessarily require said evidence remain online for all those hypothetical children to see. HELLO? MCFLY?)

LJ interest search for "white power". Notice all the Russian-language comms. Plug those comm urls' into Google's R>E engine, and let the hate speech and racism flow forth. Where's the outrage? Where's the open letters, the petitions, and all the spotlight?

Oh, right. LJ News just announced back-to-school v-gifts, and gratuitously plugs the shit out of Diet Pepsi Max (even going as far as to offer journal and mood themes!) hoping that everyone will get distracted. Because nothing says "I love you" more than a virtual diet pepsi max!

Dear LJ: Nice to know that stopping HP slash fanart, supporting anorexia, and chugging Pepsi's cock are more important than actually dealing with hardcore hate speech ToS violations. It's not like anyone's died, right?

LJ/6A should just come right out and admit that they're being 'selective' about whom they choose to apply the rules to.



Crossposted to a few other comms; apologies if you see twice.



I *really* wish i could install the russian text plugin, into my head. This language barrier crap needs to go.

By Rep. Steven Chabot (R-OH). It's targeted at P2P downloads of music and movies, and it could have repercussions for fanfiction and art...

But the kicker?

This law would allow for wiretaps to catch you.

No. Just fucking no.
