Heather Ryan’s video of Mitch McConnell
Joe Sonka January 22nd, 2008
(crossposted at BlueGrassRoots and DailyKos, go recommend it!!!)
Here’s Heather’s latest email and the video of the encounter with Mitch McConnell. As you can plainly see, Mitch’s staff blatantly lied about their behavior to her employers, telling them that they banged on the windows of the SUV and shouted “I hope you die!” at McConnell. There’s absolutely nothing here to warrant being fired. This is FAR from over.
Hi Everyone,
You asked for it and finally, I found a technical geek to upload it onto my computer and into YouTube for your viewing scrutiny. As you can see, there is nothing on here to provoke my dismissal as Executive Director of the Paducah Film Society. As you will also notice, Heaven and I are not being disorderly or threatening, as Senator Mitch McConnell’s camp states in their smear campaign against me.
Remember, this is raw and I am a fund-raiser - not a videographer, so forgive the amateur quality …

the Paducah Sun has it in the paper, WPSDTV 6 ran the story plus the film,the wife was up at 4AM she said that MSNBC ran it too
Keep making calls to the media. Where is this story?
Maybe you should stalk your husband and ask him HIS feelings on the war that HE is voluntarily fighting. He was not conscripted into the military. He volunteered. I’m sure it’s doing HIS self-confidence a ton of good knowing he may die for the right for his wife and daughter to embarrass him and themselves like that in public. Maybe you should stick to fund-raising and leave government officials alone. They’re not the ones that have put you and your family in this situation. You and your family are. You need to learn to play nice with others during your employment “time-out”. Too many men and women have died over the last 231 years to give you the “right” to do what you did. And that’s the best way you can come up with to thank them? You should be ashamed of yourself, but I’m sure you’re not. God bless America . . . again . . . please!
Hilarious, you guys want freedom of speech everywhere but your website.
Typical left wing nutjobs. Free speech, only if you agree with it.
“Avid Americans” don’t blame the troops for the mistakes Washington makes, and they don’t make asinine statements when citizens–ESPECIALLY veterans–exercise their First Amendment rights.
You might want to consider asking your high school civics teacher for a do-over, AA.
And all that aside, are you actually saying that what happened in the video justifies her losing her job? Because the day we start firing people for questioning the government is the day real democracy is dead.
JR. You are doing what is typical among libs in situations like this.
Her questioning the senator isn’t a bad thing. In fact it’s healthy in a democracy.
But her doing it in front of her workplace, and in front of other leaders who fund her workplace is unacceptable. You simply can’t behave like this. When you hold a position such as hers, you have to be accountable for all of your actions.
She isn’t somebody who sat on the back burner, or wasn’t in the public eye. She was somebody that people looked to for leadership. When she makes an ass out of herself in front of other community leaders, in front of her workplace she has to be held accountable.
What if I did a protest in front of my workplace, say, a “no blood for oil protest” while mitch mcconnell was giving a speech. I would hope that my bosses and board would hold me accountable and fire me. Not because I was protesting. But because I was making my employer look bad.
Please don’t call these people names. That is exactly what they want you to do, so they can spew their idiocracy all over our democracy. We see what their true agenda is by the call to action by flooding the media outlets with phone calls and e-mails.
It takes a lot to piss me off. As a Christian, a business owner here in Paducah, a husband, a father of 3, and a free-thinking person with a VOTE, my senses of decency and respect have been greatly offended here. Why can’t Paducah get more attention for the good things here instead of the national and world-wide “plastering’s” we get for things like this and Heath? Maybe the squeakiest wheels do get the most media grease! I’d like to see them run THIS on MSNBC! (like that’ll happen)
Um - did you SERIOUSLY just say that Heather Ryan should ask her husband for permission to oppose the War in Iraq? OMFG.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to. As you can tell by the comments in this section and others, there are plenty of people exercising freedom of speech, and plenty of commenters who disagree with the opinions of contributors to this site.
do you see why so many veteran are leaning left now.lol

Thanks Shawn Dixon’s Hair for having my back! I didn’t see that response above yours until after my 2nd post. The silence I am about to send them now makes them the maddest. Nice hair by the way!
One of my posts asking about the double standard you hold was deleted.
Further, it’s obvious why she was fired after I watched the entire video. A. She entered the building to an event that she wasn’t invited to.
What is the most troubling comment was her, “this is MY BUILDING” that “I am executive Director of”.
Sorry gal, that’s the people of Paducah’s Building. Not yours.
I really can’t understand why she thinks she was wronged. ANYBODY would be fired for such a display outside of their workplace.
Further, she’d damn lucky her daughter wasn’t arrested. Her little display could have clearly been seen as a threat to the Senator. She’s lucky the secret service guy didn’t tase her. In fact, I was impressed with how calm he was when the little girl was screaming and jumping up and down.
To Avid American Says,
Did you say stalking? I seems to me that all Heather Ryan was trying to do was ask her Senator a question.
I can understand her frustration, because I’ve been trying ask Senator Chickenhawk a few questions also, but he always sneaks in and out of his events.
Kudos to Heather Ryan and her video and I hope this inspires others to pick up their camcorders and follow Senator Chickenhawk every place he goes.
I have a camcorder and will travel, so if you know where Senator chickenhawk is going to be at any given time let us know here at Ditch Mitch.

I thought it was just a list (nautical term)!
Wow. Very telling.
There were no comments on this post that were deleted that I’m aware of. The only comments that have ever been deleted in the past are ones that have been extremely racist in nature.
Thanks for the forum ya’ll! It has truly been interesting.
I made a comment about what if somebody had a conservative anti abortion rally outside their workplace and screamed and disrupted business inside their own workplace.
It was deleted.
I was joking re: the tase comment. REmember the John Kerry kid?
In all seriousness, why don’t you address my comments about her dismissal? Why? Because you know she probably deserved it. You can’t act that way when you hold a position of authority. Much less in front and IN your own workplace.
Hair, I can unequivocally say that you made no such comment on this post, and no such comment was deleted.
At any rate, there was no “rally” and no one “disrupted business.” Your argument is moot, which is why I don’t address it.
so what did Mitch call this little event??
Section 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues.
http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=96099,00.html
SDH, you’re doing what’s typical among conservatives in situations like this: ignoring the principles and attacking the victim.
Your argument is basically that it’s okay for someone to question elected leaders, so long as they don’t work anywhere those leaders ever visit. But I bet if she didn’t work at Maiden Alley Cinema, you would have found some other way to discount her right to demand accountability from her government.
Her kid was hyper and she was trying to get *her* Senator to answer a question. When that’s enough to get you fired, there’s something seriously wrong.
“What if I did a protest in front of my workplace, say, a “no blood for oil protest” while mitch mcconnell was giving a speech. I would hope that my bosses and board would hold me accountable and fire me. Not because I was protesting. But because I was making my employer look bad.”
That’s because you have a fairly twisted concept of civic participation, especially when we’re talking about an event at a public building.
It doesn’t matter if she works for a public organization or at a public building. She is the LEADER of that organization and her behavior, ESPECIALLY AT HER WORKPLACE, reflects on the organization. Her board acted correctly. They looked out for the organization. The ramifications for the organization could have been painful.
They did the right thing.
#17, really, when she was trying to disrupt by yelling and waving inside to the building? When she entered the building?
Come on now, stop ignoring reality.
Further, it doesn’t matter if she “disrupted” it’s how she behaved and how it reflects on the organization she works for that got her fired.
Hair #21, as I posted in a previous comment section:
You can try to weasel around it all you want, but McConnell used the power of the purse to stifle freedom of speech, and that is extremely troubling, especially coming from someone who claims to be such a proponent of free speech by blocking lobbying reforms and campaign finance reforms.
you had your turn,now the people will vote him out just like Fletcher,Bush next.look what a mess the country in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNa4QcBdVzI&eurl=http://cliffschecter.bravenewfilms.org/blog/26011-mclaughlin-group-on-financial-crisis?play=1
Free-speech Mitch only would have taken mercy on her if she was throwing money at him or burning a flag.
It’s rather funny that someone who posts gay baiting comments and speaks of tasing little kids actually expects some kind of debate. You can tell he’s scared of what will happen to Mitch once this story breaks. Well, he has reason to be.
Most be something in the water in Hopkinsville.
Did I miss something, what set of facts do you have that proves mitch got the girl fired?
do we have to get phone records? i think it was from the first meeting the board had with Heather,
Mitch office calling Paducah
her daughter screamed, “I HOPE YOU DIE” at the 5:10/5:11 time on the video.
Hate speech is NOT protected speech.
The mom had every right to walk up to the senator and ask about the Iraq war.
The mom had every right to stay in the building and ask McConnell any thing she wanted to either before or after his business inside was done.
Why was the mom outside? Who knows, it doesn’t matter. What was the point in having her 12 year old daughter with her? Strange.
Any Kentucky resident has the right to talk to our elected officials and they have a duty to answer/reply.
Mitch should have talked to her.
However, that little girl should NOT have used Hate Speech. That is not protected free speech.
Since the mother has the legal responsibility of her children’s actions she was responsible to what her daughter said.
I can’t stand Mitch McConnell. There is a time and place for everything. Her daughter should NOT have been with her if she anticipated a combative confrontation with Mitch … which since she thought they were calling the police she clearly thought things could get out of hand and she should have taken her daughter away from the scene at that point. But, no, she was teaching her daughter to use the camera in the event the police came.
Maybe mom didn’t know, but if they (police) thought the mom & the daughter were a threat to McConnell they would have taken the mom away they would have taken the daughter to social services.
Screaming, “I hope you die” certainly constitutes a threat.
Maybe that’s why mom lost her job.
I hate McConnell, Bush, and Cheney … but I would never, ever allow my child to scream “I hope you die” to anyone including those 3 people. The mom should have corrected her daughter on the video & didn’t
Then, the daughter was screaming she has “rights” She does not have the right to hate speech.
That mother should be ashamed of herself for doing what she did with her daughter.
I’d fire her for bad judgement ie., bad judgement in letting her daughter scream hate speech, bad judgement in her timing, bad judgement in wanting a combative confrontation …
I would not have fired her for asking her senator a question
Before any screams at me. There are laws that make the parent responsible for their children’s actions. They can be found under Parental Responsibility Laws.
Albert, I watched the same video and the girl clearly does not say “I hope you die.” Through the power of technology, you can hear, clear as day, a little girl squeal, “Do you want my father to die?!?!” That is exactly what she says. At no point does she tell Sen. McConnell to die, nor does she express that she wants McConnell to die.
Whatsmore, though hate speech (of which, this is not) may be reprehensible, I am unaware of its illegality. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only criminal actions that are deemed “hate crimes” and prosecuted as such, are actual crimes. Hate speech is generally protected speech under the constitution, as long it does not defame or include incitement to violence.
This is why the KKK is allowed to march and bigots like Fred Phelps and others are allowed public space for their demonstrations.
Try a little harder, though.
Mr Hair, you’re flip flopping a bit. Based on your perception that an employee is bound to uphold an employer image 24/7 and that any off time activity can be construed as a justifiable termination, why is proof of Mitch’s intervention even relevant to you? Granted, it certainly raises the debate but I thought that the jury was already in in your mind.
what i heard was quote “you want my father to die”
If she was doing her job, she had a right to be in the building as that is where she works. But, in this instance, she was clearly trying to disrupt what was going on in the building, including her child to do some pretty silly stuff. The Senator had a private event at the theater. Mrs. Ryan used bad judgement in trying to disrupt the event and thus this clearly allows for her dismissal as an employee of the place that the event she tried to disrupt took place. Pretty obvious to me.
Why would she think the police were coming?
Terri - Who are you trying to con? At 5:10/5:11 That little girl screams “I hope you die as plain as day.”
At 5:10/5:11- little girl screams: “I HOPE YOU DIE”
Man says, “Enough of that.”
Little girl screams: “WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT”
Man walks to door of car
Little girl screams: “I GOT RIGHTS”
- video edited -
man opens door of car and keeps an eye on mom and girl.
Mom speaks to McConnell.
Terri, dude, I have the video on my computer too man! I know what I am hearing. Stop the con game!
Kilowat - NO!!! What I heard and what anyone who listens can hear is the little girl screams “I HOPE YOU DIE.”
That’s why the man says “enough of that” to the little girl.
Hate speech is NOT protected speech.
Kilo & Terri - Anyone who listens to that video will know you guys are lying through your teeth — that girl plainly screamed “I HOPE YOU DIE” Right to Mitch McConnell.
I don’t care what the kid said or did. The mom did something incredibly un-profesional and was punished accordingly.
In the real world you are accountable for your actions. I work in a VERY public environment and was told and signed a contract accordingly that ANYTHING I did that was deemed as “unbecoming” to my employer would result in my dismissal.
You can smell the desperation in the trolls, can’t you?
Like I said before, Free Speech Mitch would have had no problem with her if she just threw some money at him or burned a flag in front of him.
All three of Mitch’s trolls won’t be able to stop the firestorm this week.
Terri, Hate speech is not the same as a hate crime.
I never said Hate Speech is illegal.
I said Hate Speech is not protected speech.
If someone says, “I’m going to kill you.” that is not protected speech.
If someone says, “I hope you die.” that is not protected speech.
So, Albert, are YOU the source of the leak/lie that the little girl said “I hope you die?” Just viewed it again to be *extra super duper sure* she doesn’t say that, and again, plain as day, “YOU WANT MY FATHER TO DIE?!?!” Even the board of directors recognized that.
And despite the fact that it’s irrelevant, please show me precedent where the KKK and WBC members have not been allowed to march, holler, protest, or whatever it is those loons do? Then please tell me how a tween girl clointering and around Paducah, KY NOT saying “I want you to die,” is at all comparable to groups of adults gathering in public areas bemoaning the gays and the blacks?
You specifically said hate speech is not protected speech when, in fact, it is.
Finally, as I hope you can see from my picture above, I am neither a dude nor a man.
Joe, Unlike you, some of us democrats, who also hate Mitch McConnell, are not willing to lie about what that little girl says just to make Mitch look bad. He does a good enough job of that on his own.
Joe, you may condone a little girl screaming “I hope you die” to someone. Not all democrats feel the same way you.
You go ahead and call us trolls. That seems to be a word with no meaning anyway.
BTW: Joe, If I wrote on here “I hope you die” would you delete that?
If you would, why would you delete that?
Albert, you’re objectively incorrect–watch again, this time with your head somewhere other than your keester.
Isn’t there some sort of rule about the whole “bearing false witness” thing?
Terri - I know what the girl says and so does anyone who listens to it. Keep saying the same thing over and over, maybe you’ll really believe it …
However, the rest of us who also have the same video — know exactly what that girl says. She says “I hope you die”
As I said before, the desperation of the trolls is palpable. And quite comical, as usual. Your boy Mitch will have to “comment” eventually
The people reading this blog clearly don’t mind lying in order to … to what … to lie? I mean, come on, we all have the video. We all know what that little girl screams. The lies from these posters are so blatant.
Joe, If I wrote - I HOPE YOU DIE!
would that be something you would delete?
I don’t mean now, because you won’t now — but lets say in a week from now someone, out of blue, posts on here “I HOPE YOU DIE!” What would you do? Would you delete? Would you tell the cops to investigate the person?
Also, Joe, and all the other readers. After seeing that video I can tell you why the main stream media has not printed about it. It’s because they heard the little girl scream “I hope you die” too.
AP’s running it now.
woops
Al, try to understand that screaming is NOT THE SAME THING as screaming a particular phrase. The particular phrase you claim she screamed isn’t on the freakin’ video. You’re a bald-faced liar if you continue say otherwise–the tape doesn’t lie, you do.
Again, it’s easier to hear clearly if you pull your head out of your ass first.
he knows he’s lying, don’t feed the trolls
I find it amusing that you all don’t address any of the logic I’m talking about.
once again, how can you justify her trying to disrupt a function at her place of employment? You can’t, that’s why she was dismissed. I’d be willing to bet McConnell had nothing to do with it and didn’t care who did what she did. It happens to him all the time.
Further, the email she sent out also caused quite a stir, further conduct unbecoming…
Accountability means nothing to some of you does it?
She can say and do as she pleases. But she obviously didn’t realize she was accountable to a board.
the amount of troll activity is positively correlated with how scared they are. scientific fact. we’re registering off the charts here
can you smell the pending doom?
Hair, please see #22 and all previous. Your logic has been addressed, has obviously been unsatisfied, and so instead of just saying you don’t find it satisfactory, you claim it was never addressed.
GO GIANTS!
Huck said “if your not getting flack your not over the target,hell we must be LOL getting all kinds and i thought it was going to be a dull year
next time hit “SUBMIT COMMENT”
What can the GOP trolls on here not understand about this incident?
What good does it do for a community to be supportive of a U.S. Senator when that Senator decides that if the director of an independent, private 501(c)(3) non-profit is not terminated, he will terminate ~$50 million in federal funding in retribution for the director (whether you agree with her actions or not), a constituent of the Senator, trying to ask the Senator to explain a controversial position?
Who would Jesus fire…the director or the Senator?
Why do the trolls think Mitch is so great that they feel the need to take an entire business day (that could have been used on other activities such as counseling pregnant women against abortion on this 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade) to tell lies about an innocent woman and her daughter in a vain attempt to defend Senator McConnell’s reckless abuse of influence and power?
If Heaven had indeed shouted “I HOPE YOU DIE!” or words of similar effect at Senator McConnell, would his actions (blackmailing local government, among others) have been justified? Since the evidence clearly shows that Heather Ryan’s child did no such thing, is it still justified?
Is anyone suggesting that many of the events in the video would have still taken place had Senator McConnell done his duty and talked with Heather and Heaven for a moment?
Why do “shawn dixon’s hair,” “albert sams,” et. al. believe that we need two sets of rules in our society, one set that says officials are above the law, a set that was abolished with the Magna Carta (which laid the groundwork for the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution) in 1215, and one for the common folk (of which you are) that you so strongly detest?
Maybe if people weren’t so devoted to self-loathing, they would realize that this is a nation of laws and not of men. Maybe they would realize that a United States Senator is not allowed to blackmail local government in order to get a non-partisan, non-profit organization to exact revenge in exchange for defense of the Senator’s honor. “McConnellites” should understand that a Senator is responsible for votes to their constituents, instead of constituents being responsible if they fail to support their Senator.
#51- Please provide PROOF that McConnell got her fired.
Funny how you ignore that her DUMB and RUDE behavior may have been what got her fired.
This raises an interesting debate. Although Mr Hair works “in a VERY public environment” and contracted to his every move, is this the same for every employee? Can a Walmart employee only participate in political events only approved by Walmart and for those that Walmart endorses? In the event that a political Walmart endorsed figure finds an employee’s demeanor less than his/hers satisfaction, should said employee be terminated? If one of my employees demonstrates at a Democratic function or fails to support my Democratic nominee, is termination appropriate? At what point, are these terminations justified? Had it not been McConnell, would Ms Ryan still be employed? Should she not have been otherwise? This could become larger than the trolls and McConnell wannabes can spin off. And, rightfully so.
I never said I couldn’t participate in political activity. I said I couldn’t do things that were unbecoming of somebody employed at my place of work.
Wal Mart employees would certainly be fired for harassing people inside the store with cameras and waving and acting childish.
Next…
Shawn Dixon’s Hair:
Before requesting more comers like you’re the champion (or winner for that matter) of anything, you need to respond to me @ #52.
And why should I or anyone else believe that Mr. McConnell is worthy of praise and admiration in his efforts to blackmail a city and county, belittle his constituents, and destroy their lives while believing that Heather Ryan is deserving of contempt, scorn, ridicule, and schadenfreude?
Oh, and BTW, where do you work? Maybe your boss would like to know that you’re ripping your employer off, or maybe you just need to get a life instead of wasting nine hours by taking it upon yourself to defend (and you’re doing a piss-poor job I might add) the indefensible.
What’s good enough for Heather should be good enough for you, am I right?
Mr Hair, you cowardly cheery picked and selected questions that could easily be answered while dodging other. Let’s try again and hopefully you can stay focused.
In the event that a political Walmart endorsed figure finds an employee’s demeanor less than his/hers satisfaction, should said employee be terminated?
Had it not been McConnell, would Ms Ryan still be employed?
so i guess y’all like spending tax payers money like this? thirty to thirty-five million dollars for their restoration project. Some of that will be federal money and that’s why Heather says she was fired at the risk of losing those dollars.why I changed my party back in the 60’s .what part of conservative do y’all not under stand?
Oh I for got they carry a bible that makes it all ok
Guys, relax. All is right with the world as Kenneth Stepp has filed to run to replace Mitch McConnell.
I did not write this, but a friend of mine did. He told me I could post it under my name since I was already logged in. #5 JR says: ““Avid Americans” don’t blame the troops for the mistakes Washington makes, and they don’t make asinine statements when citizens–ESPECIALLY veterans–exercise their First Amendment rights.” So here’s another “asinine” veteran’s opinion for you.
BTW: Kilowat needs to take some typing lessons! Here you go:
“Is this what our country is coming to? No respect for those in leadership positions? We may not agree with some of our leaders, but this is not the way to voice our concerns. What bothers me the most is that the action of the child drew no response (other than approval) from the mother.
I spent over 20 years in the military both in the Navy & Coast Guard (anchors away kilowat!). Many months away from my family, sometimes in harms way, so that Americans like HER can practice free speech. However, my sacrifice does not give anyone the right to act like total asses, and yes, ass is in the bible. Look it up. The right to act like an “ass” is a choice that each person has within them, but is not granted by the Bill of Rights. And when a person acts like a ass, maybe we should treat them like one . . . made to sleep in a barn, carry the burdens of others, and get whipped on their ass when needed!
She made the wrong choice and was not a good example for her own daughter. Her firing hopefully will show that there are consequences for our actions!
I will not hate her, I will pray for her!”

Avid American says: By the way; THE NEXT PERSON THAT CALLS MY NEW FRIENDS AND I “TROLLS” GETS A CYBER-PUNCH IN THE PIE HOLE! At least come up with something more original. I expect so much better from you Joe Sonka. I guess I didn’t realize you toed the company line so tight!
Curious . . . are any of you typing-heads from the top of this page actually from Paducah,
or even the Commonwealth of Kentucky? Just wondering.
Troll.
Avid, if you can navigate a Web page, which I suspect you can, you can find out where all of us typers are from.
#62 Joe: You asked for it; POW! SOCK! BLAM! I never thought I would get another use for those Batman sound effects from the 60’s TV show! Thanks Joe!!! You still greatly disappoint me though.
#64 Terri: It really doesn’t matter where you are from ultimately. But it sounds like where you are going is a dark, and scary place with lawlessness, no discipline, and no consequences. Leave me out please. I know I’m not welcome there anyway. You would however be welcome to come to Paducah some summer-time and stick your toes in a soft patch of warm BLUE grass in my back yard and ponder your troubles with me. You can’t imagine how it cleanses your soul! Just watch out for the “bloodhound piles” (if you know what I mean) in the yard. You should know what it smells like from being around Joe Sonka all the time! lol
As to criticizing Heather and her gift of parenting skills (or Senator McConnell’s skills either for that matter), I have no stones to throw because I screw up as a parent too! If YOU are a parent, YOU know what I mean. I don’t want to “criticize” anyone (except kilowat) to begin with. Instead, I spend that vocal energy praying for ALL parents and ALL children that we could ALL make good choices for our lives. Especially when accosting our Senator! But even more so in our day-to-day interactions with one another. If everyone would be quicker to prayer, and slower to anger, this would be a lot better world to live in. But not for you and the typing-heads of the world I am sure.
#63 kilowat: Just shut up! Nobody wants to hear from an old liberal, retired Navy man with a “list”, that can’t type, or comprehend “parenthetical” quotes anyway!I think Dr. FEEL is coming on soon. See if you can find your remote and watch it. I’m sorry. That was mean and uncalled for. See what influence you people have had on me in just 24 hours?! Can you imagine how much influence Heather Ryan has had on Heaven the last 12 years. I hope the next 12 years go better go her.
It is time to ride off into the sunset again, and return to my survival cave beneath the Ohio River with my cache of guns and weapons, and my Constitution & Bill of Rights hermetically sealed and framed on my wall. Somebody let me know when the libs dry up and blow away, and I’ll come out again! As previously stated; GOD BLESS AMERICA . . . again . . . PLEASE!!!
YOU PEOPLE NEED AN ENEMA!
I know this is hard for Republicans, but lets keep the latent homosexual fantasies out of the comment section, OK?
It’s OK Joe. You can come stick your toes in my grass too. That doesn’t make you gay either. Is Terri a woman, or a cross-dresser? Boy am I embarrassed if IT’S a cross-dresser! I thought you libs LIKED “blatant” homosexuals anyway? “blatant” (adj) 1. Bellowing, as a calf; bawling; brawling; clamoring; disagreeably clamorous; sounding loudly and harshly. 2. Obvious, on show. Wow! Did allwords.com have it right or what? And NOW you’re trying to tell me how to be gay to suit you?!?! You still greatly disappoint me.
I’VE BEEN TO A LIZA MINNELLI SHOW BEFORE! DON’T TELL ME HOW TO BE GAY!!!
Ciaos Bella~
#63 my old buddy low-watt: “which one is yours” (referring to the people search link he posted in the same retort) - Are you serious?!?!?! What are you going to do? Send Heather and Heaven to all of the addresses on there to stalk him with a video camera too! If they do, they better take more than just the camera! See the SECOND Amendment if you are unsure of which I speak. IF you can get past the FIRST Amendment you love so much! It says US citizens (ESPECIALLY retired asinine veterans) have the right to bear arms. Or arm bears. I’m not sure. In your case, the average bear would probably be smarter. But unfortunately, not as dangerous as you are!
NOW QUIT POSTING STUPID STUFF SO I CAN GO BE A CAPITALIST AMERICAN PIG!!!
QUTOE “criticize” anyone (except kilowat)” yep i say a prayer for you too! nope I don’t have a education!! I thought i did pretty good in the parenting skills though, two daughter through college and 2 grand daughters.
now where did i put all those dead gray cell
navy 65/69 ATN2
if someone would delete my post #63, i don’t want any harm to come anyone.
my mistake
It sounds to me like you did an EXCELLENT job then. I’m sorry. I was just poking fun. I do go too far sometimes though, and I am sorry if I offended you. The bear comments WERE out of bounds. 2 stroke penalty and back to the tee for me! I do applaud you for your service to your family and your country. Thank you. Peace to you kilowat and ALL of the people blogging here! Being a retired military man, I know honor and duty mean a lot to you. It just urks me when an “honorable” man is attacked by a shrew and a shrew-in-training while trying to do HIS sworn “duty”. Whether everyone likes his methods and results or not. I don’t even care for Senator McConnell that much either, as Albert said. But whether everyone likes him or dislikes him, NO ONE should disrespect the office that we (ALL voting Kentuckians) elected him to - like the Ryan’s did. You’re a wise and fortunate man kilowat whether you have any education or not. Wisdom is unfortunately not a class taught in Kentucky’s public schools. It sounds like you picked yours up the same place I did . . . Life University! I’m still attending there with no graduation in sight. It was an honor to do battle with you in the forum of ideas! All of you are truly worthy foes. Peace Out
#74 kilowat: No offense taken kilowat. Let’s just leave it at that. Everyone sing with me now: “Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home!” hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm (I never did learn the second line to that song!)
Done as requested. -TW
76 Terri Whitehouse “Done as requested.-TW”: Thanks Terri. As I told kilowat in #75, no offense taken. We all get a little heated under the collar when we are discussing things that we are passionate about. Sorry about the whole cross-dressing pun too. I can tell that you look like a lovely young lady in your picture! I was just having a little fun at your expense! If it offended you, I am sorry. You and Joe are still welcome to come stick your toes in my grass anytime you want to!!! I still like going to Liza Minnelli concerts too! Not that there’s anything wrong with that! (:-} God Bless, AA
BTW; How do you get those cool boxes to put the “quotes” in?
AA - I’ve been called a lot worse. Who knew the blogosphere would be just like high school? To do the quotes, the tag is [blockquote][/blockquote] only insted of using brackets, use the less than/greater than angle brackets.
Let’s just cut through all the bs from McConnell supporters on this comment list.
The reality is that Mitch McConnell used a non-profit institution in Paducah with a 501C(3) status to film a political campaign commercial on Jan. 15th. Hey folks, no one can do that, not even the almighty McConnell. This is against the law. Will McConnell be charged, fined, held accountable for breaking the law? Is he above the law in the State of Kentucky?
Where is the You Tube video that used to be on this thread? Why can you not watch on-line any more here or on You Tube?
We need the public to see how this went down. It looks one sided if we can not see the orginal video.
I am just wondering about the video too. I didn’t know what was going on, but saw we had a candidate file against Whitfield today and wanted to see more about her. I am trying to decide my support. I wish I could see the video too. If the girl was treated wrong, I am going to vote for her and even help her financially. But, Whitfield always tries to help us all too. I am not disappointed with him, but I will support my party if someone is trying out there and I like them. I want to know more about Heather Ryan. What kind of person is she? What are her credentials? Where does she stand on the issues?
the video remains. if you don’t know how to work the internets, i can’t help you.
Maybe you could provide a link for those of us who are just learning.
Or maybe Heather is available to speak to me.
Joe, what size do you need the bowling shit oh I mean shirt in? I would be glad to purchase it for you. Seems like you lost your job too. What is going on out there????? Why is everyone getting fired?
Can you repost a link to video. When you press play it says this video is no longer available. It was the one Heather filmed. It was there and worked last week but now will not work.
Sorry, Judith, I can’t find it either.
This is pretty interesting, though. Especially the part where a McConnell supporter says an Iraq War veteran should be ashamed of his service.
just pure partisan politics almost everyone of the board members have donated to the republican party
