Confederate Yankee Week Continues*




Posted at 7:47 by Gavin M.

Yes, he fell for another one.

Unintentially Appropriate

The funny thing about true believers of any religion is how accidentally appropriate their signs and symbols may be seen by others. The L.A.-based ad agency sees—uh—”people coming together” for Obama.

Those of us who aren’t as in love with the Freshman Senator would rather not grasp the symbolism.

Uh-huh. So an ad agency not affiliated with the Obama campaign has released a joke logo. Perhaps we should spell out the joke for him. . .the joke for him. . .the joke for him. . .the joke for him. . .the joke for him. . .the joke for him

Actually, Mr. Yankee, we made a worse mistake than this once. Boy was our face red! Click here to read the whole embarrassing tale.

Jeesh. Say, while he’s distracted: We’re waiting for him to take this bait. Because guess whose idea that study was? No really, it’s better than you can imagine without Googling. (No spoilers!)


* It is not literally Confederate Yankee Week.

    In other news…

    Seven year-old boy tells Michelle Obama to tell her husband that “we should finish what we started in Iraq”. Mrs. Obama promises to “pass that along”.

    Which shows, beyond any reasonable doubt, that first-graders have a better sense of foreign policy than Clif, Gavin, Brad, et. al, combined.

    I would guess that the seven-year-old’s suggestions on how to finish it was just as clear and sensible as every other conservative’s suggestons to this dilemma.

    I say we should look up Reagan – Lebanon – finishing what we started – for guidance.

    PS: You guys have a Chooseveg ad up, which reminds me: as someone who has fairly little choice about carnivory (horrible allergies to most vegetable sources of protein), I sympathize strongly with vegetarianism/veganism as an ethical choice but couldn’t despise the PETA pitch for it more – it reduces a serious moral issue to filthy darkies harming cuddwy widdle aminals, and pretty much relies on the basic repellantness of a food factory to make its point.
    It’s an illogical argument for a reasonable position – and like most of those is intellectually and personally offensive. What are the bigger organizations that deal with vegetarianism on a reasonable level? I want to be able to point people to them.

    (This isn’t a call for ‘balance’ or whatever shit – the argument against vegetarianism is scanty at best and stupid at worst – but seeing it pitched this way is like listening to someone argue that the Republicans shouldn’t be in power because they’re a nest of closeted homos: painful.)

    The fact is, you librerals worship Obama as a God and you are assholes, so it is appropriate. By the way, liberals use more profanity in blogs, which makes them bad. Conservatives are for moral values and faith and reasoned discourse and free trade and limited government and freedom. Liberals are for slavery, starvation, state violence, supression and hate as evidenced by their track record.

    Profanity is part of liberalism. That and being godless and full of hate for other opinions. Just go to any youtube with Obama or McCain and you’ll see the pro-Obama, anti-McCain, and anti-Bush loonies spill their hate where every other word is a curse. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

    hmm,
    “Torture them over there so we don’t have to, oh wait we actually want to do them over here too”

    “George Bush is appointed by God”

    “They deserve what is happening to them, they are Godless Muslims afterall.”

    Creating elaborate scenarios imagining death and destruction for thousands of people who scare you is fine as you dont’ use the word ‘shit’.

    Why does “Tough-Guy” Andy McCarthy hate the military?


    More on Hamdan’s Disgraceful Sentence [Andy McCarthy]
    ”This is actually much worse than I thought, and I apologize to readers for an error on my part, about which I’ll have more to say in an article tomorrow.

    Basically, I misunderstood the commission sentencing proceedure. I thought the jury (a panel of six military officers in Hamdan’s case) made a recommendation but that the sentence imposed was ultimately up to the judge. In fact, sentence in commission cases is imposed by the jury (see here for the commission rules). The military judge’s role at sentencing is limited to making corrections if the jury sentences outside the scope of legal authority (e.g., if the jury imposes 30 years for a crime that carries only a 10-year sentence), and, more importantly for present purposes, to decide such matters as whether any time the defendant has already served gets counted against the sentence imposed by the jury.

    So here, the military officers on the jury somehow decided that material support to our enemies, by a guy who actually protected bin Laden and transported weapons for al Qaeda, was worth only 5 1/2 years in jail; then the judge made matters incalculably worse by effectively giving Hamdan what everyone (including the judge) must know will be taken as a get-out-of-jail card: i.e., full credit for the 5 years Hamdan has already been in custody as an enemy combatant.

    This turns the jury’s disgraceful 66-month sentence into a shocking 6-month sentence. Someone may be able to defend that, but I can’t.

    I do believe Paul Krugman has either been reading Sadly No! or related sites in the funny funny joke joke portion of the lefty blogoverse:

    From “Know-Nothing Politics” | Paul Krugman | The New York Times | 08 August 2008

    So the G.O.P. has found its issue for the 2008 election. For the next three months the party plans to keep chanting: “Drill here! Drill now! Drill here! Drill now! Four legs good, two legs bad!” O.K., I added that last part.

    And the debate on energy policy has helped me find the words for something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Republicans, once hailed as the “party of ideas,” have become the party of stupid.

    …know-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: “Real men don’t think things through.”

    …Remember how the Iraq war was sold. The stuff about aluminum tubes and mushroom clouds was just window dressing. The main political argument was, “They attacked us, and we’re going to strike back” — and anyone who tried to point out that Saddam and Osama weren’t the same person was an effete snob who hated America, and probably looked French.

    …remember this the next time someone calls for an end to partisanship, for working together to solve the country’s problems. It’s not going to happen — not as long as one of America’s two great parties believes that when it comes to politics, stupidity is the best policy.

    Krugman could have written that column every week for the last 30 years, but, what the heck, better late than never. And I hope that by “great” he means powerful, not awsum.

    And of course, it was maniacs like Newt and the insane right-worshiping punditocracy who so desperately promoted Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1981 comment on the GOP as the “party of ideas” which was mainly aimed at emphasizing the dominance of Republican arguments, not their quality.

    Lex, that blog is hilarious. From the most recent story:

    Today Thursday, August 7, 2008 Barack Obama told a 7 year old in a classroom that America is not doing well – that it is NOT an exceptional country – letting his enormous black racist resentment bubble to the surface on national television. Tonight two Hip Hop street dancers, who happen to be black were the finalists on “So You Think You Can Dance”. They beat out over 100,000 dancers who tried out for the show in that America Barack so despises. They garnered over 60 million votes for the finale. Hey Barack – some racist unexceptional country – right?

    Yeah, Obama, if America is so racist, how come we let black people dance for us?

    OK, someone calling other people ‘Nazis’ in one sentence and demanding they be put in camps in the next sentence is slightly ironic. Almost too stupid to invoke Godwin.

    yeah, i lived in texas for ten years and am intimately familiar with the “facts” and “logic” that get used in the lynchland. although notice your post isn’t being deleted, even though a reciprocal post would be nixed within 15 seconds and you’d be permanently banned on confederate yankee. that’s the difference between liberals and conservatives: liberals do not fear the facts because they know they’re on their side. conservatives, on the other hand, have to defend nearly a decade of perfect failure. i dont envy you guys.

    Ruppert you are exactly why today’s conservatives have excelled at stupidity, ignorance, whine, slop, banality and child like behavior.

    The whole “I are the only real American cause I are a conservative man and exist” is really quite embarrassing given that the performance of today’s conservatives has been without a doubt piss poor on every front. Between epic failures of ideology, substandard decision making skills, endless felonies, sex scandals every time you turn around, fiscal irresponsibility, inability to plan, inability to address issues in a timely manner and the incessant whine about their masculine insecurity it stuns me that today’s conservative are even able to dress themselves.

    It took me a bit to figure it out myself, but I think (in Gomer’s mind, anyhow) the hands are supposed to be those of the person viewing the poster, wrapped around Obama’s (apparently quite impressive) schwanstuker, in preparation for giving a wet’n’sloppy one.

    To be honest, I took that to be the intent of the designer, particularly given the Bob Herbert’s breathless observation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa! in the “Celebrity” ad (it was the Victory Column at the Berlin speech, duh) and Olberman’s subsequent riff on the “phallic symbolism” of the ad.

    It doesn’t strike me as wingnutty so much as tongue-in-cheek (so to speak). “Open Wide, America! Here it comes!”.

    Speaking of stupid and conservative (redundant, I know), I think it’s time to repost this:

    I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.

    John Stuart Mill, letter to the Conservative MP, Sir John Pakington, March 1866 (emphasis added)

    http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/PRmill.html

    Further proof added everyday by Confederate Wankee et al.

    As a more general observation, does anyone have any proof that the “Gary Ruppert” who posts is THE Gary Ruppert? His posts here are so consistently hilarious that I think the poster is actually being satirical — as in, nobody is so stupid as to say this stuff with a straight face.

    Then again, maybe I should just re-read the quote above.

    If he keeps it up, I think he really will experience a final ultimate moment of shame, where he realizes what an utter asshat he’s made of himself – & how often – & with what pathetic pride … & I’m estimating it’ll only take another 27.9 years of epic fuckups just like this one.

    As a student at the University of Oregon i take great pride in this symbol. its what we do when we “YELL O!!” at Autzen stadium and other sporting events. It was a huge pleasure for me to “yell O” for obama for his two visits to campus. thousands of UO ducks joined in yellin o for Obama.

    although sometimes people get sloppy when making it and it just ends up looking more like the universal symbol for vaj.

    Yell O!

    It’s amazing to see the huge difference between this guy and say, reality.

    From “Astute” Bloggers:

    OBAMA’S DEMOCRAT PARTY IS NOT YOUR FATHER’S DEMOCRAT PARTY: DUMPING INCUMBENT JEW FOR BLACK WOMAN

    Democratic insiders say House Democratic leaders have refused a request from Tennessee Rep. Stephen I. Cohen — a white man in a majority-black district — for money to fend off a primary challenge from a black woman.

    According to Democratic insiders, Cohen has appealed to party leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), for help in holding on against Tinker. Cohen was told that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee would not get involved in his race, the insiders said.

    [various ranting about how Obama is a vote for anti-Semite, Sharia Law, blah blah]
    # THE ONLY REASON THIS CONGRESSMAN IS BEING CHALLENGED IS BECAUSE HE IS A JEW AND HIS OPPONENT IS BLACK.
    # AND THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP IS BEHIND IT.

    From Crooks and Liars:

    [Picture of Obama with arm around Cohen]

    Last night Blue America had its second big win of 2008 when Memphis Congressman Steve Cohen beat back a vicious, racist, anti-Semitic attack by the reactionary Harold Ford Machine. Cohen beat right-wing Democrat Nikki Tinker 79.34-18.64%, sending a message that Republican messaging does not work in Democratic primaries. Abandoned by Inside the Beltway operations like the DCCC– as well as by Speaker Pelosi– and even up against a now chastened and embarrassed EMILY’s List, the assistance Cohen got from progressive CBC members like Jesse Jackson, Jr and John Conyers plus help from netroots allies like Blue America, helped him meet the challenge.
