Eff It All Friday/We've Done Enough Damage Open Thread

Axelrod: this talk of impeaching a president is "way out of bounds."

Yes, because only a crazy party would vote on articles of impeachment against an unpopular president who they think is acting lawlessly.

Meanwhile, I guess this is something else we'll just have to ignore Because Freedom.

The head of a controversial organization that critics describe as anti-Semitic defended his activism and questioned the facts behind the Holocaust one day after former Rep. Ron ["Chelsea"] Paul was asked about participating in a conference organized by the group.

The Fatima Center, a “grassroots association of Catholic priests and lay people,” is hosting a conference in early September at which Paul will give the keynote address on September 11th. The organization has published articles claiming that Jews are attempting to undermine the Catholic Church on behalf of Satan and that “Zionist billionaires” are guilty of “financially raping” Russia’s people.

Father Nicholas Gruner, who runs the Fatima Center, rejected the allegations that his group was anti-Semitic in an interview with the Free Beacon on Friday.

“I object to the charges absolutely, no question about it,” Gruner said. “I am not anti-Semitic … I’m not against any particular people, race or nation because of their people, race or nation.”

However, Gruner added he is skeptical that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.

“What exactly is Holocaust denial?” Bruner said. “Are we talking about the six million Jews that are alleged to been killed by Hitler?”

That.

Just answering your question. You said "What is Holocaust denial?" It was that, that next thing you just said, that thing about the alleged Holocaust.

That's Holocaust denial. That's what we mean.

So I guess that's cleared up. Go and sin no more.

Oh wait, you've got more? Well hang on, Sir, let me pull up a stool.

“A question that nobody has been able to answer for me, is how can you have six million die, and have 13 million left, when you only had 13 million to start with?” Bruner continued. “I think it’s impossible. But you know, I’m open-minded. I’ll listen to somebody who can prove it otherwise.”

Wow.

But, at least Doctor Paul is distancing himself from his fringe kook supporters.

...

Paul blasted his opponents for engaging in “demagoguery” and “falsehoods”...

Or maybe not.

He's slated to speak on September 11th. And oh won't that be joyous.

Now, there is a good reason to doubt this reportage: Based on her name, the reporter, Alana Goodman, is probably An Jew. So: You know.

In on it. They're all in on it, of course.

Even Jerry Seinfeld.

Especially Jerry Seinfeld.

Stace McCain's coblogger wombat lists a bunch of key Space Opera books you might be interested in.

And speaking of RSM, the father of the #FreeKate lesbian cradle-robber girl is trying to get Stace's site shut down.

Stace has vowed vengeance, and in Gaelic to boot. You probably don't want to mess with him. When people start talking in a different language, it's always scary.

J'aimerai bien toujours Gerard Depardieu.

Well, it's sometimes scary, anyway.

There are some who say, despite claims to the contrary, that the man Bradley Manning is in fact a man named Bradley Manning. But these are Constructed Gender Deniers, obviously.

California students demanded to kneel before their principal. Yup, that's the way you breed future Servants of the State.
