T.A.R.D
June 27th, 2008
The Alliance for Real Democracy has a website. And I couldn’t help but take note of the dominant graphic on their main page (uploaded and displayed below so it’ll still be around when the T.A.R.D.’s delete it):
See, it may be just me, but it seems to bear a certain, shall we say, resemblance, to the banner graphic on Westword’s Demver blog.
Which is a pretty good indication of T.A.R.D.’s modus operandi, ain’t it? Cajole your pasty, narrow-eyed ass into other organizations, lift their ideas, and then start up your own little shindig on their backs.
Hell, with activists like these, who needs cops?
Examples?
Well, anybody notice any similarity between this event, just posted on T.A.R.D.’s website, and this one, which Recreate 68 has been planning for a year and a half?
Even better, however, was T.A.R.D.’s poaching of MC5 guitarist, Wayne Kramer, from Recreate 68’s musical line-up.
What makes that so particularly funny is, of course, that the reason Recreate 68 approached Wayne Kramer is that MC5 kicked off the original 1968 Democratic National Convention protests with the mighty “Kick out the Jams”.
Meaning that, while T.A.R.D. is whining to any journalist who will listen about Recreate 68’s name, the hypocritical motherfuckers are explicitly trying to co-opt their theme.
More to come. Much, much more. One doesn’t get handed targets quite this fucking stupid, bloated with self-appreciation, and full of shit every day. I am gonna be having me some fucking fun.

Nobody is taught these days that there is anything undignified about cutting and pasting your project/term paper/artwork/music/website together.

Well, actually, fuck Kramer, too, if that’s the way he wants to play it.

That was my first reaction, too. But given the underhandedness of these little shits, I’d say there’s a decent chance Kramer may have no idea that he ain’t still playing for Recreate 68.

Stealing from the Westword, of all things. These guys are pathetic. Wonder if they’ll be getting another story with their activist glamour shots there, like they got in the Sunday Post.

Ben: “I’d say there’s a decent chance Kramer may have no idea that he ain’t still playing for Recreate 68.”
If that is the case, then I blame Recreate 69 for not telling him of the poaching along with a request that he honor his first commitment to them.
