CPAC speaker proves it's just like a Tea Party

Conservative comedians are sure funny.

Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation, declared that: "Our notion of freedom doesn't consist of snorting cocaine, which distinguishes us from Barack Obama."

Later, he added: "On the cocaine front I do believe many young people in America view Barack in the same fashion they view drugs: it was a substance to experiment with."

The hangover has them saying, 'What the hell did I just do.'"

Media Matters is tracking the atrocities. (Especially worth remembering: Glenn Beck not only used cocaine recreationally, he was a cocaine addict who had to go through rehab.)

I point this out not because Beck had a cocaine problem, but because Jason Mattera thought it appropriate to attack Obama over a mere mention of it in a book. Will CPACers make fun of Beck Saturday night?

CPAC, Tea Partiers, Congressional Republicans, Newt Gingrich, Glenn Beck, FOX NEWS, etc...

Q)What do they all have in common?

A)Everything.

I always associated cocaine with conservatives and pot with liberals...

I can still remember being in the parking lot at Oxford Speedway in Maine after a Dead show and there where this 2 conservative assholes snorting coke and arguing. And all the deadheads telling them to shut up and take their cokehead BS elsewhere.

houses? They're better not get onto the subject of addiction because it'll blowback in their faces.

I'm reading Glenn Greenwald's book right now, and he mentions not just Rush's hillbilly heroin but John Wayne's alcoholism too...


I've never seen change without a fire

several times. His widow, Pilar, is a very warm and gracious woman. Though I never met John, I knew that the Wayne estate was not happy with the OC airport being named for him, as the jets regularly flew over his house.

was still alive. And I can't blame the estate for being unhappy about the airport naming. I'm sure the planes must have annoyed the heck out of the Wayne family.

The closest I come to the Waynes is a 17th century genealogical connection and also John used to visit the hotel down the street decades ago for the pheasant hunt. They wouldn't recognize the hotel now tho as the hotel has been in lousy condition for many, many years. Most of it burned down several years ago too.

Honestly guys i know alot of these guys are chumps but i think we sometimes help them out by giving them more press than they deserve. We put them on all of our sites plus the conservative sites then get on tv complaining about them when the vast majority of the country dont even know who these particular people are. This radio guy will be more famous now for this stuff than he wouldve been any other time. hes not funny and hes feeding only people who believe his stuff anyway. i say we press on and deal with more important issues

Don't they read their own BS. They just put a document and one of the planks it its platform says:

"It honors the central place of individual liberty in American
politics and life."

So, once again, individual liberty is sacred as long as yu are only doing things they think are proper. Want to do drugs? Banned. Want to burn the flag? Banned. Want to get on the school's PA and say "There is no God?" Can't have that. Want to sell beer in some dry county? Out of the question. Of course, the government should be able to tell you can't. They're a all a bunch of liberty luvin' libertarians until you start doing something they don't like and then they want to pass a law or maybe just show up at your house in a gang with their guns. What a load....

That's what Mt. Vernon was, and they want to glorify that? The opposition needs to say, again and again, what Mt. Vernon was and the underlying message of naming this document for this plantation.

"substances to experiment with" is pretty good, in a divorced-from-reality, under-the-circumstances kind of way. It's funny to consider the niche comics, the jesusy ones, that rabbi--they have to be careful where they go and what they say. Just like Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, they are so oppressed by the requirements of their art that they speak only to audiences who think they are funny and not just assholes.

... especially those of color, is that they know that by pretending to be conservative, they can get ahead in a party desperate for non-white faces.

I met Dinesh D'Souza at a college journalism conference at Hollins College in 1982. We had been sitting drinking beer, and I was still young and naive enough to wonder why someone half Asian and young would be a Republican, so I asked him, "Do you really believe all that conservative crap?"

He was honest about in. Perhaps a little "in vino veritas." He said to me, "I'm not really all that political, but since most college students are liberal, this is a good way for me to get ahead."

To be fair to him, I'm sure he became a true believer along the way. But I'll never forget what he said over that pitcher of beer.

after all, but he perhaps would have been happier if he wasn't invested in his conservatism and come out of the closet. None of his relationships with women went very well...if he were liberal, he'd have an easier time perusing his attraction to guys.

It would be one thing to criticize a public figure for substance abuse if that figure had tried to conceal it or was hypocritical of it, but to criticize someone for something they've admitted to and regret is a low blow.

Bordo's picture

Aside from being a hypocritical, sexist douchenozzle, Mattera is a typical young rightwinger in another area. He loves the idea of war, but he will never set foot in a recruiting center. He's a chickenhawk, like most of the young Republicans. They get to declare war. It's the little people who get to fight it. The lad deserves a good ass-kicking. Given his attitude toward women, perhaps it will be a young lady who gives him a nice, hard shot to the cock.

No, your idea of "freedom" consists of drinking booze and smoking cigarettes. There are a hell of a lot more alchoholics in this country than cokeheads, and nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man.

Of course, you would never know that from that Mattera dickhead, because booze and cigarette companies are two of the largest contributors to GOP candidates.

Fucking hypocrite.

Don't you see. Ronald Reagan increased the national debt by almost 5 times more than Jimmy Carter, but he's the greatest conservative ever! Conservative principals, like fiscal responsibility, were followed very well by him you see! It's so easy!

Beck did coke? Who cares!? Look at how Rush railed for years against people who did drugs and said they should be locked away, but then NO ONE thought Rush should be the moment he was caught doing the same thing... at least not in the conservative audience that is.

They gave Dick Cheney the biggest welcome of the day. Do they care that under his administration, a non-US citizen terrorist (Richard Reid) was read his rights almost immediately? Nope. Over a hundred or so Gitmo detainees released during the Bush/Cheney years? Nope, that doesn't bother them.

Does it make sense? No, but watching them squirm when approached and asked to justify this contradictory position is sure as hell fun to watch.

Mattera the clown: "Unlike on the left, our women are beautiful"

I guess this asshat has never seen liberals like Angelina Jolie on our side or the sea of fat white toothless heffas at the teaparty rallies.

Mattera the delusional clown continues: "and we speak in complete sentences"

Clearly asshat must have had his teevee on mute during George Bush and Sarah Palin speeches.

liberal, they suddenly forget all the Hollywood starlets when they start up with the "liberal women are ugly" meme.

me_over_here's picture

Meryl Streep, the absolutely stunning Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Redgrave-- all beautiful. So if your mom is a liberal, she is probably one hot mama. Not only are liberal women beautiful (not that it matters) but we are pretty diverse. If you like identikit blondes like Megyn Whateserface and that Gretchen Pretendy-airhead, then the GOP is chock full of them.

However, his argument is blown because they hold up that pile of dogshit and malice that is Ann Coulter as hot--a woman that looks as she survives on cheap vodka and unfiltered Camels.

sixandseveneights's picture

What beautiful conservative woman, if there were such a thing, would want him now let alone in another 10 years. In 10 years he'll be just another fat balding doughy obnoxious unfunny wingnut. And that voice. My gaydar is beeping. More likely he'll be caught on his knees in a public mens room then chasing after women that are way out of his league.

It's interesting that on the old Matthews interview with Mattera, Jason sounds like your typical country hick. But now the vocal inflections make him sound closer to Rip Taylor. No hint of a southern accent anymore. What did he learn in college? Next time he appears before this crowd he should try doing it in drag.

Peter G's picture

who looked at the video posted below of Beck barking like a dog accept the idea that he doesn't use cocaine anymore. It's probably caked onto his face during pre-show make-up. Every show.

Mark Rubio is just another pretty-boy Republican puppet whose strings are pulled by the big sch*t's in the RNC!
With no military service even though he was 20 at the time of the first Gulf War and around 32 at the start of Bush's Great Middle-Eastern Crusade!
Having no real experience in the real world though he might be a lawyer! What does Rubio bring to the table? Nothing in his life's wanderings around South Florida give you any indication of what "HE" thinks about or what he "Believes-in!"All you have is a puppet on-stage speaking a bunch of well rehearsed words put in his mouth by the likes of Frank Luntz, Newty or Groover Norquist!
Rubio with his perfectly coiffered hair, stiffen with many cans of John Bohner's ozone-depleting hair spray, a dark tie to go with his board-stiff white shirt,a dark suit and thrown in for the preppy look a pair of well-shined loafers complete with tassels! To complete his choir boy out-fit he comes with a cheese-eating smile put perfectly in place by some well-healed,oily Republican plastic surgeon who has lost his license for embezzlement/child porn!
In closing I wonder how deep in the closet Rubio is!

Mr "Two Teleprompters are Better Than Obama's" needs to fade back into the obscurity of some Hialeah bodega. The thing he forgets is that he's too brown for the CPAC crowd anyway. Even his chants of "keep the screws on Fidel" won't keep the white boys off his back for long.
