Only in effing Texas (or maybe not). And this bitch won't back down. Please feel free to go to the Houston Chronicle and post some comments to enlighten some of these skeeredy, nutjobs who have posted there. :banghead:

Education official refuses to retract Obama terror claim

Associated Press
Nov. 3, 2008, 6:44PM

AUSTIN — State Board of Education member Cynthia Dunbar isn't backing down from her claim that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is plotting with terrorists to attack the U.S.

The Texas Freedom Network, a watchdog group that monitors the board, released a public statement on Monday asking Dunbar to retract the statement.

"I don't have anything in there that would be retractable," said Dunbar, R-Richmond. "Those are my personal opinions and I don't think the language is questionable."

In a column posted on the Christian Worldview Network Web site, Dunbar wrote that a terrorist attack on America during the first six months of an Obama administration "will be a planned effort by those with whom Obama truly sympathizes to take down the America that is threat to tyranny."

1. for a person who is on

the State Board of Education she isn't too smart is she?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. School boards across the country are filled with similar nutjobs.

[October]

17. Yes, it's why THIS liberal family home schools

Seriously. And we live in the NE.

All the right-wing nutjobs who aspire to higher office seem to start at the school board level. They took over our affluent district, and it's hateful. Here's the thing: they can run on both the republican AND Democratic side. Some fluke, I don't know. But it's fixed.

[K Gardner]

40. This liberal family homeschools also, but our homeschool assoc. sent out an anti-Obama

email, stating that if elected he would turn over the Dept of Education to terrorist Bill Ayers. We protested the use of a school-related website to promote blatantly false propaganda and were summarily dismissed from the Assocation. Welcome to E. Tennessee, where you can't get away from the wackjobs in public school without running into more RW Wingnuts.

[myrna minx]

83. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota began with the school board, which is why

down ticket elections can be just as important as top tickets. This is how these nutjobs get their foot in the door.

[Kierkegaard]

2. Oh, for God's sake.

Now can we wall off a red state and drop all these crazies inside? Please?!?

[jobycom]

You keep your own crazies, we got enough trouble fighting them as it is.

[Kierkegaard]

15. I didn't say which state, specifically.

We could rope off, say, Nebraska. We'll give non-reptilians 72 hours to beat feet before rolling out the razor wire and armed guards. How's that?

[texastoast]

21. Wasn't Wyoming 66% for McLame/Failin?

Good God, even Texas wasn't that bad.

[Kierkegaard]

71. Another good choice!

[jobycom]

38. Well, you'll have to ask people in Nebraska about that...

Maybe we could find a deserted island somewhere? These folk keep talking about rugged individualism and laissez-faire economics and weak government. Drop them in the desert and see if they learn something about interdependence. If they are right, they should build their Utopia in a few weeks.

[Kierkegaard]

72. That would be a terrible waste of a nice deserted island,

but I'd be willing to make the sacrifice for such a good cause.

[snake in the grass]

70. Send them to Utah (plenty of mutants there)...

...and post guards on the border with the order to shoot to kill any freak attempting to cross over into the civilized world.

[Kierkegaard]

74. I wonder if they would see the irony in their situation?

I'm guessing probably not.

[snake in the grass]

76. Their brains are not wired...

...to understand that. According to this link, they can't help themselves. It's just the way they are.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/aug/13/usa.redbox

[Nevernose]

97. Which would leave Salt Lake City like West Berlin during the Cold War

We could do airlifts for the Democratically-inclined city, periodically dropping off books that aren't part of the "Left Behind" series and maybe birth control.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Like George Carlin's advice.

He said we should pick a square one to fence off because it would be more less expensive. He went on to say it should be one that already has a large number of lunatics in residence.

I say fence off all but the top part of Utah, so we can still go skiing.

[illuminaughty]

103. One of my favorite Carlin bits EVER!

The first State he wanted to rope off was KANSAS (where I sit)
Here's a snippet from a blog I did the night he passed away.

"This Country is Finished!" My words?...oh sure, but I would never have the where and what all, the opportunity, nor the balls to say it on national TV where everyone could breathe a collectible sigh and say, "Thank (well, he wouldn't thank god now would he?_ but thank someone's God that someone finally said it". Yet he always spoke truth to power. That night the internet was abuzz with what he'd said..."Did you hear what George Carlin said on "Countdown" And when he spoke those four words on MSNBC last fall, it was like...not having to pretend to believe in Santa Claus anymore, not feeling like a failure, or, that I just hadn't worked hard enough because I see the American Dream slipping away from me. It was like...Thanks, George. Thanks Mr. Carlin. Thanks for lending your credibility to a sentiment we all are starting to accept. Thanks for not ever drinking the koolaid and thanks for it being you that delivered the bad news. From you, it made it feel as though there might be a fraction of a chance to still change things around
So, let me just get this out of the way.

If you didn't think George Carlin was funny, fuck you and your little dog too! Take your Jeff Foxworthy CDs, your watermelon smashin' Gallagher videos, yeah you, you old former Pauly Shore worshippin' mother fuckers, ye who still flock to openings of Adam Sandler films, go wipe your hands off on Howie Mandel, grab a noose and a chair or a very dependable firearm and please, please, if you wouldn't mind...just go on now, and blow your brains out. Come on, "git er done". I'm not tryin' to be mean spirited, I'm simply, as that genius of comical words continually was, just tryin' to cleans things up; even things out. The world could use a whole lot less of average and a lot more of unique and inspirational. Yes, unique and inspirational, brutally, painfully honest who snaps your ribs in half with his humor. And he's gone now, even as all around the country tonight, I'm sure there are masses of far wealthier comedians, lame ass mo fos selling their T-shirts in the lobby, ready to step on stage and at some point during their gig tonight will "pay tribute" to the late George Carlin for the influence he had on them

[TrogL]

58. You mean like Jesusland?

[treestar]

61. Jesusland is much smaller now!

It's been trimmed around the edges.

[poverlay]

3. It's my personal opinion that Bush and his terrorist allies have already attacked this country from

without and within. Tell Cynthia Dunbar that Obama is coming to save us, oh yeah, and that she can suck it.

Then break out the popcorn!

[Left Is Write]

109. Her "personal opinion"? No, you don't get to make accusations like that

and defend yourself by saying it's your "personal opinion."

[ebdarcy]

4. Well, I know he talked to bush on Monday, but I seriously doubt

Obama was plotting anything with him.

[groovedaddy]

6. So this is what evolution has come to? Oh, yeah, that's right - evolution, like global warming,

isn't REAL.
Ignorance is one thing. Placing an ignoramus on a State Board of Education takes the cake!

[cali]

7. I wouldn't mind this so much if the woman weren't on the State Board of Ed

As she is, I'd like to see something done.

Piece of filth and dead ignorant.

[wroberts189]

8. Hate speech ..should be prosecuted and sued for libel. n/t

[cali]

27. no fucking thank you. ugh, ugh, ugh.

who the hell defines hate speech?

[texastoast]

47. How about lies?

She's lying in public.

[DevonRex]

9. And this can be laid at the doorstep of McCain/Palin. They fanned

the flames of imbeciles who now think they can be insane in public.

[nichomachus]

10. Is there something in the water there? How else can you explain the mass psychosis?

[PBS Poll-435]

11. Our Own Michelle Bachmann!

God bless Texas!


:puke:

[texastoast]

12. What has yours done?

I wish Obama would sue this Dunbar creature.

[budkin]

13. Just look at the miserable woman in the picture... she's lost

[emulatorloo]

14. "Those are my personal opinions" - the last refuge of the ignorant and opinionated

Daniel Patrick Moynihan:

"You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts."

[Nevernose]

98. And redundant, too.

What, is she offering up impersonal opinions? She's giving someone else's opinion?

[madmom]

16. So does that mean..the terrorist attack on America during the first six months

of bush's administration was a "planned effort" by those whom bush sympathizes with....oh wait he did, my bad!:banghead:

[illuminaughty]

104. LOL Yes, it's another beautiful day in ass backward world

Right here in America.

[Tom Rinaldo]

18. As sad and even frightening as it is...

I consider it a good thing that nuts like this are getting flushed out into the daylight to be revealed rather than continuing to function in their public roles in relative obscurity.

[texastoast]

84. The Christian Worldview website took down the article

Or so says Drudge.

YES, I went there. They are frying her in the Drudge Retort.

http://www.drudge.com/news/114854/texas-official-obama-sides-terrorists

[Tom Rinaldo]

88. Thanks for going there so I don't have to, lol. n/t

[THUNDER HANDS]

89. so she's a TWMIHOP

they will make it happen on purpose?

[demnan]

19. She's an elected official

Let's see if we can promote some sensible candidate to run against her and win. We should do that with all the nut jobs.

[JaneQPublic]

20. How does she reconcile Obama's choice for Chief of Staff?

If Obama is a terrorist (presumably an Islamic terrorist), then why did he choose for his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, a Jew of Israeli descent?

Emanuel's father was not only born in Jerusalem, but at one time wa a member of a militant zionist group. And Rahm at one time was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

[texastoast]

22. I don't think you can confuse this woman with the facts

Her head will explode.

[JaneQPublic]

23. You're right. What was I thinking? (nt)

[Thrill]

28. You're trying to be reasonable with an unreasonable person

[AspenRose]

Doesn't Michelle Obama have a relative who is a rabbi as well?

The stupid, it BURNS.....

[City Lights]

24. Golly gee, if she has proof, I sure hope she forwarded it to the authorities.

:eyes:

And Ms. Dunbar, opinions are like assholes...

[Mariana]

34. Everyone that says this should be told to call the FBI

right now! If someone says it to you personally, pretend to take them seriously and offer on the spot to help them report it. Start looking up the number for the FBI, tell them they can use your cell phone to call them. Watching them backpedal is hilarious.

[markbark]

25. I can see where she's coming from...

After all, she's had the last eight years of examples set by the Bush* administration, right?
She just assumes that PE Obama will "stay the course"

--MAB

[bdamomma]

26. looking at her face you can tell she has some issues.

[Glimmer of Hope]

30. What the hell. There must be some way to oust her.

[Mrs. Overall]

31. Jeez, a lot of the comments are in agreement with her.

These people are dangerous.

[texastoast]

48. That's why those comments need some DU LOVE!

And facts would help too.

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

==================
GROVELBOT.EXE v4.1
==================



This week is our fourth quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[texastoast]

49. Wait until payday

And I will, you big-eyed hunk.;-)

[Tatiana]

33. All right folks, contact the Texas Education Agency (TEA) right now:

Robert Scott, the commissioner of education can be reached here:

[e-mail]

Tell him to encourage Ms. DUMBAR to resign RIGHT NOW.

And you can tell the lovely lady herself what you think of her:

District 10 - Richmond
Cynthia Noland Dunbar

[e-mail]

[texastoast]

56. Thanks for posting this! n/t

[spanone]

35. how ironic that such a stupid, ignorant person can sit on an 'education' board

[LynnTheDem]

36. Austin as in Austin AMERICA??? Or is there an Austin in IRAN?

Just wondering.


WTF is with these stupid idiots and who's letting them in???!

[texastoast]

57. She comes from Tom DeLay's district

Nuff said.

[treestar]

37. They always look miserable

Like this nutjob does in her photo.

There's this billboard of Laura Ingraham on my way to work, and she looks miserable and angry in the photo.

McJoke's "Joe the Plumber" ad had several people in it, even these actors, saying "I'm Joe the Plumber" all looked resentful and miserable.

Hate will do that to you.

[Two Sheds]

39. That's not an opinion, that's an accusation, you do need to have proof of that...

if you're asked.

Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.

Or Witless in her case. She may be doing something I expect to see and hear from some conservatives: go all out on the attack in such a way that officials, not necessarily Federal officials have to react. If she doesn't retract her accusation, her higher-ups may have to remove her. If they do, she's a martyr and can go on FNC with her tale of "woe."

[flakey_foont]

41. can the reptilian aliens

be far behind??

[JeffR]

42. ******* Texas BOE email address here:

In case anyone else wants to share their feelings with Ms. Dunbar.

[e-mail]

[JeffR]

45. And here is her website:

http://www.cynthiadunbar.com/

[DevonRex]

73. I emailed them. I told them that the ONLY board member anybody

outside of Texas knows is Cynthia Dunbar. As far as we know, Texas children are taught bizarre stuff like that and God knows what other backward ideas. Until they denounce what she said, she is the face of Texas.

[steve2470]

43. No VALID documentation ? then she can go ***** herself nt

[mitchum]

44. She is a clueless uninformed nattering twit

[texastoast]

46. With a lot of sway over what our kids get exposed to in public school

It's time for her to leave and rant inside her own home, on a street corner, or somewhere else besides in the arena of education planning.

[zulchzulu]

50. Who would Jesus beat the fucking shit out of?

Well, she looks like this...

[carnie_sf]

51. This is exhibit A

of why we need to take a page out of the fundies' book and start running progressives for local school boards.

[texastoast]

52. Absolutely

Obama was just the beginning. It has to happen locally. So much work to do!

[dkofos]

53. And people wonder why Texas schools suck.

[texastoast]

54. No shit

When you have people playing politics and advocating their religious beliefs in forming a curriculum, the work does not get done for the children. This is just crazy.

[progressive_realist]

55. Oh, the irony!

Considering how many on the left believe the exact same thing about 9/11 and her Republican heroes.

:nuke:

[mwb970]

59. Stupid beyond belief. In fact, this is beyond stupid.

This woman appears to be insane. She needs help before she hurts herself or others.

[Metta]

60. She's drowning in her own arrogance and righteous self inflation.

I wouldn't be surprised if she up and floated away with all that hot air and bloating.

[Waiting For Everyman]

62. Too late - the Pubs already wrecked us.

We don't need terrorists, we have our own. Like for instance, her.

[imax2268]

63. They bitch

about teaching liberal ideas in schools...and here we have a certified fuckwad rightie on a school board...

fucking hypocrites...she needs to be fired and barred from holding any school board post ever again...

[Fire Walk With Me]

64. The Bush family already did, so what's the twist?

[Life Long Dem]

65. Who is she?

Someone you pick up off the street that says the right thing for the article or the journalist.

I think I'll post the positive news Obama is currently doing - about this very subject.

[texastoast]

67. And email it to her and cc the Houston Chronicle n/t

[enuegii]

66. I don't have pics handy, but...

don't this Dunbar woman, Michele Bachmann, and Katherine Harris really ressemble one another? Spooky!

[csziggy]

68. If she sincerely believes this and has even a mote of evidence

She is a traitor if she does not alert the FBI and Homeland Security about this perceived threat!

Since she has not, she knows she is just talking bullshit.

[Alter Ego]

69. Crazy bitch.

Ah well...there will always be a certain percentage of complete nutjobs who have decided that logic, reason, and facts are EEEEVIL and LIBRUL.

[Renegade08]

75. Let's call it what it is - anti-American and unpatriotic. Truly. She needs to resign.

[LiberalFighter]

77. Her bio. She is hard core Republican nut case.

Cynthia Noland Dunbar currently teaches anatomy & physiology to high school juniors and seniors. Additionally, she is a licensed practicing attorney who has devoted much of her practice to the area of appellate law. A frequent public speaker, she does radio interviews and speeches addressing various constitutional, common law and public policy issues.

Dunbar obtained her undergraduate degree in biology and psychology from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. She graduated with honors from Regent University School of Law, where she served as the founding editor of the school's law review. She is the recipient of three separate American Jurisprudence Awards.

Dunbar served as director of governmental affairs for Fort Bend County, Precinct 3, functioning as in-house counsel and legislative liaison. She is a licensed member of both the Texas and Missouri State Bar Associations. She is active in her community having volunteered as an Awanas Leader, Boy Scout Den Mother, and school homeroom mom. Her civic involvements also include helping such organizations and events as the Fort Bend Boys Choir, Faith Lutheran Shoot for the Stars Gala and the American Cancer Society.

A conservative Republican, Dunbar has been an active member of the Spirit of Freedom Republican Women's Club and has served on its board in numerous capacities. Additionally, she has held memberships in the West Fort Bend Republican Club, the Fort Bend Republican Women's Club and the Fort Bend Republican Club. She has attended Republican State Conventions as both an alternate and a delegate and was honored to attend the National Republican Convention in 1980 as a youth delegate when the party nominated Ronald Reagan for President.

Dunbar is married to Glen Dunbar, an assistant county attorney for Fort Bend County, and has two children. She and her family attend River Pointe Church in Richmond, Texas.

Dunbar was elected to the State Board of Education in November 2006 and will serve a four year term on the board. She serves on the board's Committee on Instruction. As a member of the board, Dunbar represents the counties of Austin, Bastrop, Burleson, Colorado, DeWitt, Fayette, Gonzales, Lavaca, Lee, Milam, Waller, Washington and Williamson as well as parts of Brazoria, Fort Bend and Travis counties.

[Deep13]

78. Claiming that a libelous assertion of fact is just an opinion...

...shows that she is either too stupid or too evil to be teaching children.

[AtomicKitten]

79. She should expect a visit from the Secret Service.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

80. Jeebus, she looks just like Michele Bachmann

Is there a place where they clone these crazy women?

[democracy1st]

81. go ahead and fire her a..

[vinylsolution]

82. Looks like the Michele Bachmann clones....

.... are suddenly crawling out of the woodwork.

Maybe the Orkin man can snuff 'em out.

[Zombie2]

85. Does she have proof??

She should be questioned by the CIA?

[Thrill]

86. This is the type of outrageous charge that can cause idiots like those skinheads to try something

Something should be done about this woman. Inciting violence against the President of this country

[TheKentuckian]

87. At what point will reaching across the aisle to these sort of scum

turns into undermining our efforts.

What exactly are we supposed to negotiate with the psychotic? I'm weary of pretending these people are sane and rational with a different viewpoint because the evidence to support such an assertion is minimal at best.
I'm starting to think Democrats are projecting rationality onto those that have gone over the moon.

[anonymous171]

90. She should be tried for treason, insulting the president elect like that.

It's payback time. Every time a RWer insults Obama, I am going to call them "un-american" and "traitors." It's only fair.

[texastoast]

91. I just want her out

I hope that everyone in Texas who voted for Obama will send an email to the State Board and get her gone. What an awful person.

[DevonRex]

108. I sent an email yesterday. They replied and said it is an elected

office and that she is in the middle of a 4-year term but that they would pass my email along to her and all board members.

[Raksha]

92. That is just evil. It's pre-emptive scapegoating.

She's planting or reinforcing the suggestion that if God forbid there is a terrorist attack, the wingnuts will automatically blame Obama, which they are predisposed to do anyway. Funny how it didn't work that way on 9/11...even with their "Godly" president in office, Falwell and Robertson STILL blamed the "decadent" liberals for inviting divine retribution.

So I'd say reinforcing the suggestion is a more accurate description than planting it. The "Obama is a terrorist sympathizer" meme has NOT gone away since the election--if anything, it's become more virulent.

They are inciting to violence and probably doing it on purpose. That is just reprehensible, and that woman needs to be relieved of her position immediately.

[Orsino]

93. She risks being an accessory...

...if she doesn't immediately report all the specifics to her local FBI office. :eyes:

[qwlauren35]

94. I'd fight pretty hard to get her to step down.

If not now, in August 2009, when her sick predictions hold no water.

[political_Dem]

95. Bachmann and Dunbar look like sisters. They are even cut from the same cloth.

Well, all they need to know is that both of them made a fine display to the world of being proud to be racists without being unrepentant.

It's truly a fascinating phenomenon. When Mr. Obama won the election, people are showing their true colors now from the bottom to the top of society. They even pretend that they "aren't racist, but speaking the truth". It is all a sad irony on such a watershed moment in time.


The sad thing is, I don't expect this type of behavior from some quarters in America to end any time soon.

[ShadowLiberal]

96. That article reminds me of a hilarious comic about how Obama was a secret muslim terrorist

Unfortunately I couldn't find the comic with a quick google search for it. But it really mocked the whole "Obama is a secret Muslim terrorist who wants to destroy America" thing well.

In the comic it had a kid Obama being raised by a bunch of Muslim terrorists. In one panel they were telling a young Obama (looking like he was in elementary school) stuff like "you must go to a christian church in order to appear to be just another American, so that one day you can become president for us so we can destroy America". :rofl:

It had a few other panels to of them telling Obama to do certain things to hide his relationships with them and get elected president, but I can't really remember the rest of it.

[LynnTheDem]

99. Goes far in explaining why America is so low on world ratings for

education.

[texastoast]

101. Doesn't it?

As long as people like Dunbar are in charge, we have little hope for competing. While this woman should be working her ass off to get our children competitive in the global economy, she is playing idiotic--no insane--politics on the taxpayers' dime.

[busybl]

100. does being a republican make you mentally ill

or are mentally ill people attracted to the party?

[Berry Cool]

102. Cynthia Dunbar sounds like Cynthia Nutbar to me. n/t

[truthisfreedom]

105. Obama should meet with her personally. Let's see if she's got the guts to say it to his face.

I doubt she'd walk away from that meeting with the same attitude.

[texastoast]

107. Oooh, yess

I would love for him to unwaveringly confront this fear in person and let that woman see her ridiculous hard heart up close and personal when he turns out to be someone you would want your daughter to date. (If he were available, of course.) ;-)

[amborin]

106. she's a potentially dangerous whacko nt

[Earth Bound Misfit]

110. There are no words...

for this ASTONISHING display of stupidity.
