Perpetually unemployed lil dumplin’ Christine O’Donnell was on Soledad O’Brien’s Whack-A-Conservative show this morning promoting her latest endeavor to get someone to put her up in a hotel for a few days so that she can raid the honor bar before crashing on a friend’s couch again until she gets a call back from Olive Garden about that hostess job that she applied for back in February.
Christine’s latest scam endeavor is called Troublemaker Fest (named after her value-priced book) which sounds all dangerous and anarchy-ish and they’ll probably have seminars on making Molotov Freedom cocktails out of Keystone Light bottles and also picking out the right tribal tattoo; one that doesn’t look too ethnic or foreign or scary.
What else will the kids be doing at this TroubleMaking Fest? I’m glad you asked:
Troublemaker Fest is film and entertainment festival held during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, August 26-30, 2012. The festival is open to all convention goers, yet is organized as a political outreach that will empower and inspire young, independent patriots to stop Barack Obama’s second term and restore Constitutional integrity to our government.
In between the Republican National Convention’s main stage events, Troublemaker Fest will be featuring speakers, entertainers, and panelists. The main stage speeches will stream live on the IMAX’s screens.
With only a week to go the lineup is shaping up like a combination of Coachella, Bonnaroo, and SXSW minus all the entertainment value and people you have ever heard of. Let’s check it out, ‘kay?
Troublemaker Fest will feature filmmakers who share our passion in restoring liberty and an impressive lineup of speakers who will inspire the youth of today to reform the establishment—starting with an end to Barack Obama’s presidency.
John Sullivan serves as the co-writer and co-director on 2016: Obama’s America.

John is currently a writer and co-producer on other major feature films in development.

Obama during the week following her primary victory, despite only being in the national spotlight for September and October because over her late stunning GOP Primary victory.

The website says that the Young Turks are tied up in this boondoggle.

My emphasis
Don’t even the Young Republicans have more on the ball than this group of tired, over-the-hill hacks and/or vapid idiots?
Good luck with that.
I saw the figure of $35.00 and thought to myself that that’s really not enough money to be paid to watch these goobers. (Frankly, I would need at least a hundred to sit through D’Souza alone.) Then I realized that they actually want people to pay to see them. Whoa… that is really messed up.
The filmmaker is the guy who did Ben Stein’s horrible failure of a creationist movie? Couldn’t they get the guy who got hit in the balls by a baseball on America’s Favorite Videos? That guy at least amused somebody.
Here’s the wiki page on the creationist movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expelled:_No_Intelligence_Allowed
Sullivan is listed as the third producer, not as director or writer. Ah well, as long as you’re associated with a movie marketed as a documentary, but which is actually an infomercial, you might as well lie about your role in making it.
Historical note: Molotov Cocktails were originally anti-Communist, as those Finnish Fascists were pursuing “freedom” in their own special way, too.
Also, too: Keystone Light isn’t available in bottles, is it? If they’re true troublemakers, a Session Lager bottle would be a more hipsterifical choice.
Looking at this dazzling array of talent, I don’t feel so bad about myself any more.
A grifter tsunami is about to hit Tampa.
My first thought was I’d pay to see what a christian comic’s routine was like and then I remembered the jokes my christian friends think are funny….
And, with the 1% wanting nothing more than Obama’s quick departure, the pickings are ripe!
“Troublemakerfest”? Truth in advertising, please; the proper appellation for a collection such as this for ‘education’ of the rethug youth is “Ratfuckacademy”.
Just ask so many of those who made their bones in the College Republicans and then went on to a life of servicing the political desires of the 1%.
This will be as big of a hit as Stephen Baldwin’s Breakthrough Ministry. Oh, and for an added bit of Stephen Baldwin trivia, he was tricked into getting a Hannah Montana tattoo by Miley Cyrus.
The youth of today are going to rock out for Ben Stein?
who are the Young Turks, is that Dana Loesch’s husband’s rap group?
Hand out the Ecstacy and pacifiers!
even beating out Pres. Obama during the week
What, she even begrudges him the “ident”?
Is it me, or is Dinesh D’Souza getting funnier looking?
HEY — it’s really not fair to Wembley to keep putting TBogg on the front page (no matter how much it delights me). How is he supposed to keep up with the multitudes of potential Site Scolds? It seems that every single time that TBogg is front paged that pup has to pick one. Think of the poor puppeh…
No, it’s not just you. I hope that you’re not getting ready to slip into the arms of Morpheus because this might give you nightmares, but just imagine what his portrait that he keeps up in the attic looks like…
It won’t be a party unless Jason Mattera is rocking out with his todger out.
Maybe he will do a rap.
It is you. Funnier looking, yes, because he’s clairvoyanter now than earlier.
Ooooh, Cenk isn’t gonna like seeing he’s an unknown to at least one commenter here.
Word!
Dinesh isn’t necessarily funnier looking……….the guy is just silly, and silly is as silly does….. and Dinesh just oozes silly.
Hey, what happened to the almost $1,000,000 left from her campaign that Christine put into her PAC? Man, she’s run thru that already!?
This unoriginal, parasitic, grifter hack! The “Trouble Maker” is a grass roots, fundie Christian meme started in the wake of the Jesus Freak years almost two generations ago that suggests that pre-zombie Jesus was a radical rebel bucking the system—”like a-two modern day Robin Hoods” (my many apologies to Watasha). O’Donnell employs this established, though outside the mainstream, tangent on Christian faux-rebellion to con some filthy lucres out of a new generation of religiously-inclined rubes. The only one to ever cover the anti-establishment aspect of Christ with any integrity what-so-fucking-ever was Willie Nelson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troublemaker_(album) ) Fuck O’Connell for no other reason than her abject, vapid unoriginality.
“Brad Stine is the most media covered Christian comedian in the country. He had an 8 page profile written about him and his comedy in the New Yorker magazine where he was referred to as “God’s Comic”.”
“God’s Comic”? I thought that title belonged to Judas. If there are two words that do not go together it’s “Christian” and “comedy.” Although, there is that fantastic punch line called The Book of Ecclesiastes: “Eat, drink and be merry because tomorrow you are nothing more than worm food”? Now that’s fucking funny.
And Dinesh D’Souza?! Well, I guess his presence really gives the con away. But no one will notice.
you got a problem with Bonarroo (quest mark not working}
did Christine have gastric bypass {quest}
In all seriousness, is there anybody in Tampa willing to cover this for FDL? I would be willing to wire you some cash to cover expenses.
God’s Comic
“I am not a witch. I am you.’
“I am a policy wonk.”
Does it get funnier?
Didn’t all those xtian prophets say Teh End Timez would have all sorts of wackiness and wonderment? Is this the best the could do? And, then, try to charge money to watch it? GTFOH!
So Sullivan did “Expelled,” eh? I did a review of that. The funniest part was that I rented the DVD, saw 45 minutes of it, went off to do some errands, thought about it, wrote that the only sorta, somewhat scientifikal kinda thing about it was the complexity theory they presented (“It’s all just too complicated to have arisen spontaneously,” true, that’s why it arose in components). Well, I started watching it again and sure enough “Weep, whine, wail, the only part the evolutionists address is our complexity theory!”
“Christian comedian.” That’s the punchline, right?
Sorry, there’s only one God’s comic.
Lenny Bruce.
What, no Kirk Cameron?
Screw it, I ain’t goin’.
Amen.
“..this group of tired, over-the-hill hacks and/or vapid idiots?”
You know it’s bad when they were too small-time for Ted Nugent and/or Chuck Norris. I guess Chuck was too busy that week fighting off a return attack by the Deadly Dolphins.
I think they think they’re the foundation of the Purity SturmAbteilung, but it’s not the same when you’re wearing soccer cleats instead of hob-nailed boots.
And that’s the most flattering photo they could come up with.
Thanks, TBogg, for posting the bioss + pics. Allows me to put a name with the face.
Now where’s my pie?
Whoever took that photo of Mr. Bean needs to go back to photography school.
