Austin police chief says critic has ‘lying extremist undeveloped brain’

http://twitter.com/#!/ArtAcevedo/status/336228004315426816

What has Austin, Texas, police chief Art Acevedo so riled up? Was it the claim that Acevedo supports universal background checks for guns? That claim is true:

http://twitter.com/#!/ArtAcevedo/status/336191216595124224

What about the claim that Acevedo opposes enforcement of federal immigration laws?

Acevedo is on record supporting legislation that would prevent police from inquiring about the immigration status of crime victims and witnesses.

And he supports a bill that would allow illegal aliens “to get special permits to drive and obtain auto insurance if they pass criminal background checks and pay a $150 fee.”

Perhaps there is something in @JohnGaltTx’s tweet that inaccurate. If so, Acevedo could have responded by pointing out the error. Instead, he engaged in ad hominem attacks.

When another Twitter user called out Acevedo for mocking his critics, the police chief doubled down:

http://twitter.com/#!/ArtAcevedo/status/336238523223011328

No one is arguing that Acevedo doesn’t enjoy the same First Amendment rights as other citizens. That is a straw man.

The point is that it is unseemly for a high-ranking public official to address critics in such a childish, vitriolic manner. Acevedo is the police chief for a major city, after all, not (as far as we know) an anonymous commenter at Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.

A British Biscuit Company Wants A Chief Biscuit Taster

1. Bored stiff at your workplace? company getting a dick once again? Can’t receive the printer to printing anything, so you must ask Steve to have it done? Think about jacking every little thing in and carrying out this as an alternative?

2. For those who missed this little bit:

5. Gumtree informed united states the advertisement is from Fox’s Biscuits, area of the 2 Sisters Food Group, positioned in Birmingham.

We contacted Fox’s to inquire about if this is an actual work, but no one’s gone back to united states yet. We’ll make sure to upgrade once we have more.

6. But, nonetheless: cookies.

Simply hours ahead of the Left’s planned Chick-fil-A “kiss-in,” vandals defaced a Los Angeles county Chick-fil-A, painting the language “tastes like hate” in large black letters on the exterior associated with the building. Behold the tolerance:

Donna Brazile links Newsbusters’ AP bias story as proof of ‘humming’ economic climate

http://twitter.com/#!/THE_DAILY_BLEAT/status/485979475616997376

Donna Brazile welcomes any reason to tout the “success” of Obama administration initiatives, and a Newsbusters tale provided that opportunity. Or so she believed:

http://twitter.com/#!/donnabrazile/status/485977132217020416

Brazile obviously didn’t read the full story, due to the fact Newsbusters post blasted the AP for prejudice with its report (which is known as a “White House pr release disguised as evaluation during the Associated Press”) and detailed some unsightly economic details the AP easily failed to mention.

http://twitter.com/#!/Bfreeborn/status/485978488894005248

Until Brazile’s taken a check out the proper as well as wished to emphasize the AP’s bias and highlight unpleasant economic development that works counter toward Dem narrative. That, however, appears very unlikely.

Preliminary Hampshire  Sen. Kelly Ayotte has reached truth those forms of thanking NBC options for acknowledging interior evening’s delivered that interesting Hampshire does demonstrably happen. On Monday evening, a map showing the preserving of fiery train accident in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, misidentified unique Hampshire as Vermont.

Today, anchor Brian Williams recognized the blunder and, as a television range effective may, noted all state’s more high-profile attempts toward nation. It’s house with mention of the report tub shower-bath tub shower-bath tub shower-bath bath towel and comedian Sarah Silverman. Report towels tend to be cool, appropriate?
