Kenneth "Lil Stevie Blunder" Gladney is about to wheel his way into America’s heart as he travels this great land of ours like a small Urkel on wheels into your local high school or possibly court-ordered youth "Hugs Not Drugs" counseling sessions to explain that America is a country bursting with liberty and freedom and such and such and whatnot. Also, Barack Obama is an alien from planet Kenya Prime who has come to Earth to eat Trig Palin’s heart.
St. Louis, Missouri August 12, 2009 — Kenneth Gladney thanks everyone for their outpouring of support and well wishes. After he recovers from his injuries, Kenneth plans to travel across the country to promote Project Liberty, a new educational program designed to teach America’s youth about their fundamental rights under the Constitution.
Kenneth will inform young people about his experiences on the fateful night of August 6, 2009 at Rep. Russ Carnahan’s town hall meeting in South St. Louis and how it changed his perspectives on individual liberties in today’s society. Along with Kenneth, Constitutional law experts will explain the Bill of Rights to students in an interactive format that is both entertaining and educational.
Wow! And kids really love that kind of shit! Just like Derek the Abstinence JugglerClown guy!
But how can Kenneth afford to take precious time away from his lucrative street-vending career selling flags and buttons in order to talk to kids who will be texting "teh sux lamr!11!!!!!! lol" to each other while Kenny mouths patriotic platitudes? I’m glad you asked…
Kenneth wants to make it clear that Project Liberty is not funded by any special interest group or political party. Kenneth vows never to accept funds from any of these sources. Project Liberty is “people-powered.” As with any endeavor of this magnitude, there are costs associated with this. If you would like to help defray these costs in this fight for liberty, stand up with Kenneth and donate today. Please visit Kenneth’s website at www.iamkennethgladney.com.
This should go well until he’s booked to lead the pledge of allegiance at a Klan picnic at which point things will probably go ‘south’, if you know what I mean….

Everywhere he goes someone should simply show up and run the video – on a giant screen behind him, perhaps.
An insurance investigator or two will be able to make new ones showing him walking around, talking, and generally acting the same way he always has.
“After he recovers from his injuries.”
Given that his attorney was also at the “town hall” where the so-called injuries happened, and the promos and lies began almost instantly, I have to figure this was set up and planned at least by the two of them well before anything had happened. If Gladney wasn’t already a con artist, he’s learning quickly.
I notice that his original statement (on the video, I think?) had him saying he was “selling” the flags, which has now morphed into whatever term does not imply “selling,” but does imply handing out free.
last line on his website:
I am Kenneth Gladney. You are Kenneth Gladney, Remember, we all are Kenneth Gladney
You are Kenneth Gladney, Remember, we all are Kenneth Gladney
I already knew I was a lying sack of shit, thank you very much. But a drama queen? I resent that implication.
Anyone else notice that becoming a celebrity for the wingers is getting easier and easier?
Sarah Palin had to be nominated as Vice President.
Joe the Plumber had to ask Obama a question.
Kenneth Gladney only had to fall down.
I wonder if that woman who carved a backwards “B” into her own cheek and then blamed it on an Obama supporter is still available. She’s a natural.
You know how insurance companies tail a person they suspect of filing a fraudulent claim? I’d love some PI with time on his hands to follow Kenny, cuz you just know he’s not in that wheelchair much.
There is a video of a guy already on the ground, Kenney goes for him, falls down for about 1 second, stands up, walks around, talks to reporters, then shows up with an ACE bandage tied around his knee on right wing TV and becomes a conservative “hero”.
Can’t wait till he tours with Clayton Bigsby.

Set his wheelchair on fire. We’ll see how fast he walks.
Guess I’m not the only one who skipped to the end. I thought we were all Spartacus.
Joe the Unemployed GOP Pitchman would be a natural for pushing the wheelchair around.
The grift is strong in this one. Also the stupid.
Any insurance adjustor out there willing to “deny his claim”, presuming he had insurance, based on the video?
I mean, I have sat through grievances over denied claims using less evidence than the video.
Better watch it tbogg, or you’ll wind up on Faux News again.
Isn’t this what is meant by “The American Dream?”
We’re all missing the real point here. The reason Kenny doesn’t have any visible injuries is because Jesus miraculously healed him! Except for that left knee with the Ace bandage. That’s from seventh grade basketball. Jesus does not do pre-existing conditions.
This is the first that I can recall seeing this bit of info:
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” Gladney said. On Friday, he said he had been hired by the Tea Party folks to hand out the flags and added: “I was attacked for something I believe in.”
Sorry, that link in the comment above isn’t right, trying again.
Ahhhh, winger activism. It’s like watching a ‘Jackass’ marathon.
Kenneth is so pathetic he makes Joe the Plumber look like Cesar Chavez.
I, in no way, am Kenneth Gladney. I am, in fact, offended at the idea of being tainted with that crazy brush. I really, really, really, really, really hope that this nitwit’s fifteen minutes of fame is a hell of a lot shorter than Not-Joe-not-the-Plumber’s.
wonder if aWol will “rub his head for luck” (or however he described that fetish) if he comes through Dallas?
Wait a minute…
That abstinence dream didn’t go up in smoke; it went down in flames!
Sounds pretty fucking hot to me!
Insurance adjusters will not be helpful in this case. You see, Kenny was laid off a couple of months ago and he lost his health insurance. In his first appearance in his wheelchair with his lawyer, his lawyer asked for donations to defray Kenny’s hospital costs. Oh, the irony.
But here’s a real question I have. This dude went to the hospital and got an ACE bandage and some iodine. Where did he get the wheelchair? Surely not from the hospital. Hasn’t any reporter asked the hospital about the extent of his ‘injuries’? I really don’t want to wade through rightwing garbage looking for these answers. Anyone got a hazmat suit and willing to do so for me? Thanks!
Sorry, HIPPA rules prevent the hospital from releasing any of that info, unless of course they want their ass sued off for violating patient confidentiality rules, which I am sure Gladney’s lawyer would be ever so happy to do.
Still no word on when Kenny Gladney’s country music CD will be released? Perhaps he and Joe the Not-Plumber could collaborate.
“Proud to be an American (Opportunist)”
“Kicked Upstairs and Used Like Charmin”
“Truthiness is What I’m Lookin’ For”
“Lucky I Don’t Have a Business or I Couldn’t Go on Tour”
“Take a Picture–Fame is Fleetin’ When It’s Faux”
“There’s Not Enough Healthcare for Everyone, But It’s OK, I’ve Got Mine”
Gaddamn, what the hell is with the “I can’t get laid, so you shouldn’t either” clown vid about?!?
Derek and the DominOhNOES!!!11!!
Yeesh. Creepy.
Time on his hands, and a video camera in them.
I wonder if old Kennypoo declared the income from his little job passing out flags to his local unemployment office.
It’s the Kenny Gladney two-step exercise program. Fall down, cash in.
Did you all hear the follow up that his wife has insurance? Maybe I even read it on this site. Whatever. This whole little display just disgusts me.
The St. Louis Police have requested the medical records to see if his “attackers” can be charged with more than a misdemeanor. Can’t wait for that. And the reaction upon finding that he wasted the time and resources of a department that probably has more important things to do.
This would go a long way towards dispelling the myth that these people are racist, if not for the carnival barker haranguing people to “step up and kiss the n***er for luck.” Doh!
I also have to say I’m a little disappointed in the absence of one of those L-shaped arm casts, or at least a neck brace. Shit, a little piece of tape placed diagonally across one cheek. It’s like they’re not even trying, throwing him out there with nothing but an Ace bandage.
“…stand up with Kenneth and donate today…”
Wait. I thought Kenneth couldn’t stand up. You want ME to get in a wheelchair, too? Shit, this is crazy.
We Gladneys are an interesting breed,
serious cash-for-nothing is what we need.
Ask any Gladney and he’ll say,
Only shameless whoring works that way.
I’m a Gladney, he’s a Gladney
And if working makes you sad-ney
You will find that you’re a Gladney, too.
The “victim” can authorize the release of the medical records. He should be eager to have the truth come out, shouldn’t he? Huh?
I’m not certain, but I think the police can get access to medical records in these situations.
This is what I think the ER doc might have written:
Patient is a well-nourished male approx. 30 yrs of age who appears to have no visible injuries yet c/o ’severe pain’ 9 on scale of 1-10. He fah down go boom, got right up again to come to ER. DX: Malingering. Apply Ace bandage and turf him.
There’s no way that Derek wasn’t getting some before 18 with all that (shall we say) talent
in his pants!
Might not happen. Gladney could always refuse to allow it, and then his lawyer will magnanimously decline to press charges, and forgive his attackers, because that’s what Jesus would do.
Thus they keep their “beatdown” story intact, along with some specious “forgiveness” shtick to deflect criticism, and continue to fleece the wingnut sheep.
[*insert every evil lawyer joke ever written here*]
What’s the fucking frequency, Kenneth?
