When "Over My Dead Body!" isn't Just a Saying...

The angry Left is very well-known for trying to impose their chosen lifestyle on the rest of us, either insisting that we stop doing things that they personally don’t like or demanding that we all live as they want to live. They’re really good at putting their foot down and trying to block other people’s chosen way of living, but sometimes they tend to get carried away and go just that one step too far. And as examples, I bring you this list of loony lefties who overdid things just a tad, typically in ways that also qualified them for the Darwin Awards:

Diana Cushing Canning and Anthony Hernandez, both of California. On October 26, 2002, Canning and Hernandez basically knocked their own heads off as they were traveling through San Francisco in a converted school bus with their heads sticking up through a skylight. The skylight hit an overhanging concrete slab at the end of a tunnel, killing both of them. Canning and Hernandez were among two dozen passengers in the bus, en route to a demonstration against a possible war against Iraq. Another passenger in the bus said Hernandez and Canning had previously been asked to sit down while passing through the tunnel.

Rachel Corrie. In January of 2003, this over-indulged kid from Olympia Washington took a break from attending college courses and went to Israel. While there, she basically devoted herself full-time to protesting Israel and America and even burned American flags in front of cheering crowds of Hamas types. On March 16, she decided to stand in front of bulldozers that were removing structures that had been used by Palestinian terrorists and she wound up beneath one. “We were really surprised,” said one of her fellow useful idiot friends. “They’ve always stopped before.” Apparently they’d done this several times previously, but this time the operator of the machine didn’t see Rachel and she was inadvertently transformed into a human pancake.

Sebastien Briat, 21, from Meuse, France, In November of 2004, Sebastien chained himself to railroad tracks in that country to try to stop a train carrying nuclear materials. He rather stupidly chained himself to the tracks before the train actually stopped and placed himself just past a curve where the engineer was unable to see him until it was too late. Briat’s fellow morons said that Briat was “surprised by the train”, which ran him over, killing him. Surprise, asshole.

Tristan Anderson, 37, from California. Another trust-fund kid with no real purpose in life. He was struck in the head by a tear gas grenade on March 16, 2009 while throwing rocks at Israeli workers and soldiers who were building a security fence in Israel’s West bank. Like Rachel Corrie, Anderson was a member of the leftist “International Solidarity Movement”, a Palestinian front group that supports actions against Israel and the United States, mainly by recruiting spoiled rich American kids with low self-esteem and defective moral compasses.

Honorable mention: Weston Reidhead.
In the “hopefully he gets it right the next time” category, we have Weston.
On October 23, 1997, during an on-going campaign to stop a "salvage rider" timber sale in a wild, remote part of Northern California, Weston Reidhead was hit by a log truck on Sidewinder Road. Weston, born into a logging family in Southern Utah, was blockading one of the main haul roads for the controversial Outside timber sale in the Klamath National Forest, twenty miles south of Happy Camp. The log truck driver stopped his truck when he saw Weston in the road.

"The truck was stopped in the road and I was in front of it, yelling at the driver not to move, that I was under his tire. He called my bluff, but I wasn't bluffing," Weston stated after his feet were crushed by the truck's tires. Weston was transported by ambulance to
the emergency medical center in Yreka, and was treated for broken bones and lacerations on his ankle and feet. Weston only gets honorable mention since he didn't actually succeed in killing himself. As of the last report, he was still unable to walk and uses a wheelchair, or crawls on his knees.

Hey Weston, here’s a bit of advice: next time, put your head under the tires. That’ll show ‘em you mean business. Idiot.

Naturally, the left has lionized all of these fools. I don't condemn them for that, but I do wish that more leftists, to include Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink harridans, would try a little harder to emulate them. Hey Code Pinkos--just a suggestion, but you could probably get a lot of attention if you all locked yourself together with a big, heavy pink chain and jumped off of the 14th Street Bridge into the Potomac...

Another reason to jail Roman Polanski...because the loony Hollywood left wants him freed.

As Roman Polanski, convicted pedophile and fugitive, sits in a Swiss jail, begging anyone and everyone to help him avoid deportation to the US after raping and sodomizing a child thirty years ago, his nutty liberal supporters in Hollywood have reportedly put a petition together demanding that he not be brought back for his long-delayed sentencing.

Ironically, the first name on the petition: Woody Allen, Hollywood's other celebrity pedophile.

Seriously folks, I can't make stuff like this up.

Filmmaker Martin Scorsese has signed it, and so have directors David Lynch and John Landis.

Whoopi Goldberg has also signed it, but then she'll do anything for the attention these days.

Most of the rest of the names thus far are second-rate French actors that few people have heard of and even less people care about. Of course all of that may change now that ACORN has been hired to circulate the petitions. In fact, no sooner did they start than John Belushi, John Candy, Patrick Swayze, Ted Kennedy, David Carradine and that little Taco Bell chihuahua all signed it.

And of course the leaders of both France and Poland have demanded that Polanski be released, because apparently in those countries, drugging and raping children is ok if you also make movies or do other allegedly cultural stuff.

That's ok, France and Poland...we'll remember that the next time that the Germans invade you. When you cry to us to save you again, we'll point out that Germany has produced some really good films, and those neat little Volkswagens, too.

If there's any justice, Polanski will not only be brought back and sentenced to prison, but he'll wind up sharing a cell with Charlie Manson, who will soon receive a package containing a shank and a note that says: "You morons missed one."

Looks like Hollywoods favorite child molester is finally going to face justice

I refer of course to Roman Polanski, the child-molesting bail-jumper who fled the US for shelter in France after pleading guilty to raping a 13 year old girl in 1977, and who has enjoyed wealth and fame and the adoration of his Hollywood peers ever since, all while thumbing his nose at the American judicial system.

Switzerland just snatched his ass up and is offering him to the US, finally putting and end to his days of skiing and fine dining all over Europe, at least in countries that he knew would not honor America's extradition requests.

ZURICH – Director Roman Polanski was arrested by Swiss police as he flew in for the Zurich Film Festival and faces possible extradition to the United States for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl, authorities said Sunday.

Polanski was scheduled to receive an honorary award at the festival when he was apprehended Saturday at the airport, the Swiss Justice Ministry said in a statement. It said U.S. authorities have sought the arrest of the 76-year-old director around the world since 2005.

"There was a valid arrest request and we knew when he was coming," ministry spokesman Guido Balmer told The Associated Press. "That's why he was taken into custody."

"There was a valid arrest request and we knew when he was coming," ministry spokesman Guido Balmer told The Associated Press. "That's why he was taken into custody."

In 1977, he was accused of raping the teenager while photographing her during a modeling session. The girl said Polanski plied her with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill at Jack Nicholson's house while the actor was away. She said that, despite her protests, he performed oral sex, intercourse and sodomy on her.

Of course his actually going to prison for his crimes is still in doubt, since we have Eric "show me the money" Holder sitting in the Attorney General's office. Holder, when a Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton Administration, brokered the deal where another fugitive felon, Marc Rich, was allowed to return to the US and receive a pardon from then-President Bill Clinton in exchange for hefty donations to Clinton's library fund and his wife's Senate campaign made by Rich's ex-wife Denise. Holder also arranged clemency deals for 16 Puerto-Rican terrorists, again ostensibly to help gain the support of the Puerto-Rican community in New York for Mrs. Clinton's senate run. Eric Holder proved then that justice was merely a commodity to be bought and sold for political or financial gain, and he's shown us just recently that he still plays that game, only for Obama this time, when he dismissed the convictions of three Black Panthers on charges of voter intimidation in Philadelphia.

Polanski certainly has to know what sort of slug Eric Holder is, and if he hasn't already arranged for some cash to flow to Obama or certain key Democrats, I'm sure that he has people working on it. So it's up to us all to keep our eye on the ball and let Holder know that his days of selling pardons and commutations to thieves, terrorists and child molesters is over.

And as for Polanski, I look forward to him finally seeing the inside of a US prison, hopefully one where he can switch from directing to acting...and by "act", I mean act like Ned Beatty in the film Deliverance.
