If This One Doesn’t Work, They’ll Try Another

Charles Lipson, The Chicago Tribune:
Independent prosecutor for ACORN
- Oh boy oh boy it’s Whitewater oh boy let’s go fishing Woo! heh-heh erhm, independent prosecutors should not be appointed lightly, but possible criminal suspicions against Acorn might lead to the appearance of White House impropriety, causing, uh, suspicion.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

THERE’S NOTHING THERE YOU FUCKWADS!!!!
*ahem* though that sure as hell didn’t stop them in ’92.
WHY. THE. FUCK. are we letting these shithead assclown morans run our politics? THEY LOST. They should find a dark corner somewhere and wank off to “Atlas Shrugged” and let the rest of us get on with business.

At this rate, it’s even odds if Obama will Whitewater himself. Agreeing to wingnut demands is one of the very few things he does well.
What does it take to get a real Democrat–rather than a GOP-licking DINO–into office anyway?
M. Emmet Walsh said,

Well, Whitewater was bullshit too, so…
M. Emmet Walsh said,

I don’t think “DINO” really applies. Capitulating to the GOP is what Democrats do. Always have done, always will do. Someone who’ll tell them “fuck off, you’re crazy and you lost” would be a DINO.

I think they should investigate that white pimp kid and his skanky-ass ho, because prostitutin’ is illegal. Also: Doug Giles, for bringing up his daughter to be a skanky-ass ho.

Evidently not well, either, if his argument in this case is anything to judge by.

Looks like Obama’s criminal friends in acorn are going down. And it’s about time. Without acorn to steal the election for him again in 2012, the Black Osama is gonna get a can of whoop ass when Joe Wilson wins the election to become our next President.
The American people have finally woken up to Obama’s communist agenda. And they are none to happy with his national health care and massive government bueacracy.
Communism reared it’s ugly head in America and the FORCES OF TRUTH CUT IT OFF!
YOU’VE JUST RECIEVED A SMACKDOWN FROM THE 9/11 AVENGER!

This is somehow surprising? I for one was convinced before the election that Obama was going to be treated in ways that would make him wish he were Clinton. The whingetards have done absolutely zero to disabuse me of that notion.

I got news for you commie punk ass bitches! The mighty GOP is gonna take back Congress during the mid-term of 2010. There will be another Contract with America, only this time the mighty GO-of P ain’t gonna abandon their Conservative Principles.
That’s right commie rat bitches! This new and improved Conservative Revolution is gonna be permanent. The mighty GO-of P Congress will be as the messenger sent before the face of our Conservative Republican Presidential Candidate, who will slay the commie pigs and seize the White House in 2012!
Joe Wilson is the man, if he can’t do it no one can!

independent prosecutors should not be appointed lightly, but possible criminal suspicions against Acorn
Regardless of the possibly illegal actions (there is some doubt that even the individuals broke any laws) of a few low level workers, ACORN organizationally had no involvement, in fact fired the people involved, and is guilty of nothing. Maybe we should apply the same standard to the Republican Party in light of the rampant criminality of its membership.

Capitulating to the GOP is what Democrats do
Only in the last 30 years. I am old enough to remember when Dems actually had spines and fought for what they believed in. That was before the corporatists took over (looking to close the fund raising gap with the Rs). Their mantra has always been never do or say anything which might offend the affluent or corporations. The rest is history.

Actually predates the DLC, though they grow out of this movement. Started with the “move to the center” strategy with Carter and went on steroids after Reagan’s win. Ultimately gave us the Republican-lite economic policies of Clinton and possibly Obama.

Modern Dems do fight for what they believe in. It’s just that they believe in pretty much the same big-picture things the GOP does, stopping a hair short of believing that fewer Dems and more Rethugs should be in office.
There are differences on the margins in that the Dems are occasionally capable of competent governance while the GOP only sees government only as a revenue source for its cronies. As far as big picture issues of war and peace, civil liberties, and responsibilities of government to the people are concerned, however, Dem thinking has been the victim of GOP ideological capture.

My next new band name.
True dat. They are the biggest weeping carbuncle on the party at this point, though. I suppose it goes back to the reaction to the Dems telling The South to go pound sand on civil rights, and the fears over losing a solid electoral bloc. Unfortunately, ditching populism and becoming lice in the corporate pubes is hardly an effective ploy to assuage the bigots you’ve just pissed off. From either point of view. Worst of all worlds, really, except for all that juicy, meaty cash. Of course, like any nasty, parasitic infection, once it has settled in but good, it’s a bitch to root out.

Well, never forget that there multiple options for appraising comments (partial list):

And, utter bullshit.
Concerning my last comment, the last of the list probably is closest, although there could be some debate about that.

Oh sweet christ.
“But this is a national scandal and there ought to be a full-scale national inquiry.”
Yes, an organization that has received federal funding for housing assistance programs in the low millions of dollars over the past 15 years apparently has some boneheads in the ranks, who they promptly fired. Clear “evidence” of an Obama-ACORN conspiracy to defraud the government. Meanwhile, every defense contractor has been caught red-handed ripping off BILLIONS from the government, and it’s never cost any of them a contract. Clearly, ACORN is a bigger deal.
“First, although no allegations have yet touched the Obama campaign, ACORN did have significant ties to the campaign and other progressive causes. Published reports show that ACORN and its subsidiaries received some $800,000 from the Obama campaign to get out the vote. Second, ACORN is intimately tied to the Service Employees International Union, one of President Barack Obama’s most powerful and vocal supporters.”
You could have shortened that to a few simple, declarative sentences: “They’re DEMOCRATS!!! BURN THEM!!!!”
“…the public will wonder if they are seeing a political defense by ACORN’s friends, a coverup rather than a fair-minded, independent decision by the Justice Department.”
No they won’t – but you’ll keep trying, won’t you?

So should we be demanding the immediate defunding of the military because several members thereof were caught on film performing unspeakably depraved acts of torture against prisoners of war? Or is it OK because they weren’t secretly videotaped by a Speshul Seekrit Ayjunt and his girlfriend?
