The Riverdaughter Interview and Brad Explains the Trailer
This is my consolation-prize interview with Riverdaughter, after Darragh Murphy hilariously stiffed me. You can even hear Kim (Riverdaughter) smirk as she acknowledges that Darragh's departure was set before she agreed to the interview. The interview for her film.
Somewhere in there are references to the fracas downstairs, when a bunch of PUMAs went apeshit and tried to throw me out of the house I had been invited to.
The second video features Kim's hilarious meltdown, which I hope Brad puts in the film. She's trying to figure out how to mute Christina on my phone, and finally just decides it's her new pet phone, and puts it down at her feet.
The last is Brad trying to take the rap for Darragh's jokey retelling of a murder solicitation. Don't let him. Unless you can think of a context that makes that OK. And definitely not until you hear MamaPuma's interview (coming sooon).

Is Ann Walsh, Darragh's mom, the one they call MamaPUMA? Or is Darragh their "mamapuma"? I know, stupid question, but, trying to get this straight here.

So, did Darragh report this anonymous caller that supposedly first asked her to join in an assasination plot and then supposedly threatened her life to the authorities (FBI?).

It said a lot about RD's mentality when she stated that there was no racism directer towards Barack Obama except that which was manufactured by the Obama campaign... A clear example of emotion suppressing rational assessment. RD and the PUMA movement in general seem to have developed a concept that Barack Obama is the embodiment of evil and deception. They have invested and staked their pride and egos into this position, and now how to make sure that facts are shaped to sustain this tenuous schema. It's ultimately an untenable situation for them, since their position is irrational and wrong! One thing is for sure -- they won't be able to sustain what they're doing indefinitely. It will take a toll and exhaust them. It's possible to feel pity for them, while at the same time feeling disappointment that they're deciding to pursue a destructive and immature path.
At the same time, there is the important issue of what the leaders' stories are. Wolves in sheeps clothing? That's a different story. In my opinion, it's more difficult to feel pity for them.
Anyway, at least PUMA is one fascinating phenomenon -- an interesting, disturbing, disappointing glimpse into the frailty of human nature.

You gotta go check out the puma blog, folks. If you wanted to witness the implosion first hand, it's happening right now.

I think the other shoe just dropped over there.

This is more of Kim's overzealousness. She is so ANGRY. After listening to this I see that you couldn't even HEAR my points. She LITERALLY tried to censor my words. Such a child, trying to MUTE me on someone else's phone, in the middle of an interview, so she wouldn't have to listen to opposing views. HA. she can't handle the truth.

Jeff: I'm not seeing an implosion. I am seeing a pity party at the Confluence:

But this is exactly what the DNC and its minions have reduced us to. Tuning into Fox News for a “semblance of balance” since they did not bash Hillary in the same manner as MSNBC and CNN. And by her own fellow Democrats. Hoping Hannity provides a bombshell by way of taking Obama down. Deleting our own stand by blogs that we once looked to with pride and for guidance. Canceling mainstream periodicals since the slant was wholly Obama. We have even seen days where we quote Rush Limbaugh of all people!
Our own party dissed us. They “murdered” the campaign of the best politician to come across the threshold in years in favor of one who has less experience than the newly named VP of the opposition.
They ridiculed and laughed at us like and it became a sport. We watched our votes stolen from us by party hacks who were willing to break every rule imaginable, along with creating new ones, in favor of this one unqualified candidate and for what?
They could have had the filet mignon of the party but instead fed us dry toast and told us to like it. No way. My objective is the ruin of the DNC whatever that takes. In the meantime, I sullenly go back to Fox. Propaganda, yes, but less bashing of the best candidate ever to apply for the job.
I mean....this person believes that the DNC is responsible for turning them to Fox news! For turning them to right wing outlets!
Nor have I seen anything at PumaPAC that indicates they are "imploding" either. Darragh Murphy does seem to be going off the wagon a bit, but I never accused her of being sane.
Ah well.

Pumalicious: What in particular? Looking at the comment threads I didn't see anything very different than what I've seen before. The same ramblings.

Actually, Murphy, her husband, MamaPuma, Lady Rothschild, The clothing gal, Riverdaughter, the other Hillraisers, NYPuma all seem to be loaded.
No doubt there are enough to constitute a descent payoff for a lawyer working for the good.

Riverdaughter is being incredible disingenuous in that second clip; I have tried to post civil counterarguments to their nuttiness at the Confluence and my comments are deleted EVERY time.
