Happy Obama Day!
A rash of illnesses and a pretty severe work overload brought on by the joys of teaching at a failing school in a state that does high-stakes testing (more on that later) have stolen every quantum of spare time I’ve had in months, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t missed you guys something terrible.
Apparently, not having time to do much more than shower and work in the last four months means I’ve missed some stuff in the news…anybody wanna fill me in?
While I’m getting caught up with the rest of the world, I thought I’d share with you some secret footage that someone managed to smuggle out of Clinton’s campaign headquarters. Enjoy (NSFW subtitles - or language, if anyone around you speaks German)!
Update: Apologies to any Hillary Clinton supporters whom I may have offended with my intemperate posting. Perhaps this will make you feel better.
Sorry this one isn’t as funny as the other one is - I can try to offend equally, but I can’t make up for the fact that non-Obama supporters are just not as funny as non-Clinton supporters. If you can hook me up with something better, leave a message in the comments and I’ll edit this.

In the news, we have a new long thread.
Hillary even showed up and posted a “disturbing, if true” video!

“Hitler comparisons? Really? Ugh.”
I must agree. Hitler jokes are funny when they’re about Hitler. This is a Hitler joke that isn’t really very funny (prolonged verbal abuse seldom is) and it is directed at a modern candidate in the United States of America who is not so different from her opponent.
This thread is over before it began.
Jillian lost.
Jennifer said,

Good to see you, Jillian. I hope you’re all recovered from both the sickness and the FCATs. That version of the Hiter’s downfall video is pretty funny. I especially like “the second coming of Jimi Hendrix” line. I thought the version done about Hugo Chávez and the constitutional reform referendum was funny too, which makes me a very bad leftist. I like Bruno Ganz.

Ahh, falconer. Jillian wasn’t comparing Senator Clinton to Adolf Hitler.
She was comparing Senator Clinton to a Megalomaniac throwing a temper tantrum.
If there had been similar footing of Kermit going off on Scooter, Piggy, Gonzo, and Fozzie I’m sure Jillian would have used it instead.
But you go to the drawing board with the film footage of the megalomaniacs you have not the megalomaniacs you wish you had.

Great to see us eviscerate our own and playing the fiddle while the Party burns around us. Keep offending the Clintonistas and they will not vote for Obama. Go on, split the party. The last 8 years have been fun, let’s have 8 more.
Jennifer said,
May 11, 2008 at 16:25
Grimm - that’s the equivalent of saying that we are forcing them to throw a temper tantrum. They are adults who are unable to deal with their disappointments, and that’s OUR fault?
No. No, it isn’t.
If we want to talk about an incipient party split and who’s responsible, let’s look first at the candidate who forged ahead even after it was clear that her only chance to win the nomination would be through backroom dealing. Which would have split the party, and which she continued to pursue for months in spite of that fact.
No one is going to “make” anyone vote for McCain. If I were a disappointed Clintonista dead set against Barack Obama to the point that I didn’t feel like I could force myself to pull a lever for him, I’d stay home before I would vote for McCain. Voting for McCain is the equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum in the voting booth. And much as kids destroy their own toys and other belongings in a tantrum, the asshole idiots who vote for McCain because Hillary didn’t get the nod are participating in the destruction of their own futures and those of their kids and grandkids. They’ll deserve a McCain presidency, but the rest of us don’t.
Arky H8r of VürdPress said,

1. They don’t like being called Clintonistas.

…playing the fiddle while the Party burns around us.
Which party might that be?
McCain’s convention chair gets tossed after Newsweek reported that he’d lobbied for the Burmese dictatorship.
Land swaps, anyone?
Bush Department of Justice. Still corrupt.
And of course, there’s the ongoing Mission Accomplished in Irackeystan.
Sorry, Grimm, but the idea that the Democratic party is burning down exists solely in the heads of Beltway bloviators and disappointed Clinton backers.
Do you plan to hold your breath and pout for the next six months?
Jillian said,
May 11, 2008 at 16:30
Someone needs to come over, tie me down, and make me read the ten pounds of crap masquerading as educational theory that I need to finish by Tuesday.
I have so totally missed everyone! I swear I’ll carve out more time from my schedule somehow.
Grimm, I’m proboaby one of the few people around here who doesn’t think particularly highly of the Democrats’ chances in the fall, regardless of what anyone does or does not do. I hope to have time to expand on this soon, in fact - I’m slightly concerned that the Democratic party is going to fracture for real in this upcoming election. If the Democrats fail to win an election against the hand-picked protege of the least popular president in the entire history of the country, then serious questions about their viability must be asked.
And the Dems are not MY party by any stretch of the imagination. There is one and only one thing I like about them at this point in time - they aren’t Republicans. That’s it. If the whole damn Democratic party were on fire, I don’t think I could be arsed to piss on them to put it out. Maybe if I’d been drinking and really had to go.
Of course, with as insanely evil as the Repubs have become, you don’t need much more than “not being a Republican” for me to support you - but that’s like saying that because I’d rather be shot than hung, I must really want to die.
Trust me, I don’t like Barack Obama much more than I do Hillary Clinton. If those two are the best the Democratic party can come up with, then the party deserves the obscurity it’s so quickly marching toward. I say we bring back the Whigs.
Snorghagen said,
May 11, 2008 at 16:52
Grimm is absolutely right. In thinking giggly thoughts about the Clintonistas, we have surely brought on a new dark age. Already, I can feel the cold hand of chaos reaching out for me. Already, the sounds of rioting and gunfire are drawing nearer. If only we had been more respectful… but it’s too late, too late.
Offended Clinton supporters are breaking down my door. Farewell!

Barack Obama is absolutely unelectable. He is an anti-American elitist who belongs to a racist church and has ties with terrorism. There is no way that white working class Americans are going to vote for such a fool who stands for the opposite of everything they hold dear. I predict that this election will be the biggest Republican landslide since Ronald Reagan got reelected by a 49 state landslide in 1984 against that far left loon Walter Mondale.

John McCain has a well deserved reputation for pragmatism which will serve him well in bringing moderates and independents into the Republican fold this election. His great appeal towards independents and Conservative Democrats will help him carry the states of New Hampshire, Pennslyvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. And possibly even New Jersey.

Obama’s polling ahead in Iowa, which means nothing presidentially speaking (except that a couple of our formerly undeclared Super Ds have come over to Obama recently) as our caucuses are of course long in the past and Obama way won those anyway, but it may mean that my candidate Ed Fallon, lefty, environmentalist, anti-war from the get-go, and Obama supporter, challenging Blue Dog DINO and Clintonista Leonard Boswell for Rep., might just win the June 3rd primary. The Des Moines Register (Heartland Mouthpiece of the DLC) has been downplaying Fallon’s chances and trying to paint him as a lefty extremist from the beginning, but I’m seeing Fallon yard signs everywhere and Democracy for America’s done some fundraising for him. Boswell’s done himself more harm than good, using Rovian smear tactics against Fallon and sending out expensive mailings to that end. Here’s hoping Ed wins, as do others like him all over the country. Yank that Overton window to the left, America. Yank it hard. (YANK not WANK!) It’s my hope that we’ll see some real progressives in Congress next term.
Good to see ya back, Jillian.

Yep, Iowa’s a conservative state all right. Went for Clinton both times and Gore in 2000. (Bush barely squeaked it in 2004, to my everlasting shame.) Democratic-controlled House, Dem-controlled Senate, Dem governor, Dem Sen Tom Harkin, Repub Senator Grassley is currently going after tax status of assholes like Hagee (clearly positioning himself in several ways to hang onto some power in a Dem administration, and if Obama really wanted to reach across the aisle he could do worse than Grassley for Sec’y of Ag). Dems went for Obama, Edwards, then Clinton in the caucuses. Freshmen Dems Braley and Loebsack both distinguishing themselves. We are probably going to beat Rep Rep Latham this time around. (And he’s not that bad by Rethug standars.) Boswell is a DINO and people are sick of him. Last time he got grudging support only because we were promised in a whisper whisper nudge nudge way that his staff was waaaay progressive and was going to steer him leftward, a damned lie. He really may bite the dust, H.A.A.M.ikins, he just may.
Now, if we could just get rid of Steve King and I would be happy to do that by ceding his district to Nebraska. H.A.A.M. would feel right at home in Ole Steve’s district.

Like everyone else, I’m glad to see Jillian back, though her entrance was a trifle awkward. It reminds me of someone who arrives at the holiday dinner table a bit late, unaware of the simmering tensions, and innocently blurts out something guaranteed to get the argument going again.
Then again, she may be fully aware of it, and just having some fun. Either way, nice to have her back.

Thanks, MileHi! I’ve got a lovely bottle of local wine and I’m going to read an old Iris Murdoch novel and drink wine while doing laundry later today. (That’s my idea of a nice mother’s day.) :-)
I do believe that all this “tearing the party to bits” stuff is highly overstated. It’s just the media doing its “let’s you and him fight!” thing. Oh, sure, there will be some angry partisans who won’t vote for Obama, but I kinda doubt most are crazy enough to cut off their noses to spite their faces by voting for Grampa McC. And if they’re that nuts, there isn’t really a lot one can do about it.
Ellen Goodman (who I believe is a hard core Clinton supporter) made what I think is a pretty good suggestion that Obama should use what he learned from his mother as a bridge to those women deeply disappointed by the loss of their dream. I have to say that when I first read about Obama’s mother, I really thought that she was a fascinating and inspiring person and wondered why he didn’t cite her more. As long as it didn’t get taken as pandering, it seems like a good idea to introduce her life and the issues she faced as a woman of Hillary’s generation to show that he understands something of where they were coming from.

I believe the term is tone deaf.
While I’m thinking of it, does anyone have links to the fabled Cult of Obama Blogs? I’ve seen Clintoni - er - Hillster - um … really dedicated Clinton supporters claim they’re out there (everywhere, lurking on every corner, hiding under every bed!) but all I’ve ever seen are blogs by Obama supporters who are varying degrees of pissed off about Clinton’s attempts to redefine success every five seconds (sounds … familiar …) and being called Obamabots and Fan Boiz.

If we can’t convince one group of people who’ve decided not to vote for the Dem candidate based on petty grievances, identity politics, and trampled egos not to be fucking idiots, how are we going to reach the rest?

I don’t believe anything Obama says, anyway, so I don’t care what he claims his platform is. He’s promising everybody ponies and handjobs, just like Clinton is, and he’s nearly equally as insincere as she is.
I really just thought it was funny. I’ll put up something equally as inflammatory about Obama later on.

You fucking idiots REALLY want to create that world? And then LIVE in it? You ever think about what you’re asking for? If everybody who thought like you, but about different things and different thresholds actually had the authority to remove anything they didn’t like from the public square?

The fact is, liberals constantly reveal their true colors here with bad taste, reference to Hitler, and also projection — they want to be like Hitler and have that kind of power, which is why they constantly use Hitler to describe everyone they disagree with, like conservatives in the heartland. And they are racists, only they are allowed to joke, but when a conservative brings conclusive proof that blacks are inferior to whites they are rediculed. This is not very balanced at all.

Lest you fall into your typical LIE-brul patterns and call me a racist, keep in mind that folks in my neck of the woods were on the forefront of racial equality, with Wyoming being the first state to free the slaves, back in 1929. This country has a two party system (Right-wing Republicans and extreme Right-wing Republicans) and you still have the freedom to vote for either one of them, thanks to our fighting men and mannish women who make up our armies (both public and private) who fight because they hate the freedoms of the USA of America. You Democommies are always burning flag pins to dishonor those of us who fight for Liberty from basements all over this great land and Jesus, who died for your sins, is gonna send you all to h-ll for ever and ever, there to burn in the flames of flag pins that you, yourself, set on fire. Well, there won’t be any fancy coffee drinks in h-ll, LIE-bruls, so you’d better drink up all of the lattes you can now as once President George Willard Bush wins this election, there won’t be any foreign coffee crossing the borders of this nation of the USA of America and the Star Spangled Banner!!!

Jillian is a smart, educated and beautiful woman with a heart the size of all florida. She is engaged in the business of trying to make a difference, a business known in the vernacular as pissing on hell, and most importantly she GIVES A FUCK.
In her entire career, she may save a dozen. Pretty shitty, eh?
So ask yourself, along with me. Just what exactly have I done lately?

Lope de Aguirre’s mad rampage finally explained: It turns out a quack doctor in Cuzco performed a foreskin restoration operation on the wrong head.

Clown car vagina expects 18th child. The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.

The Conservative practice for years is to make whatever insulting remarks they wish, but scream and howl bloody murder if a “lib” says something mildly critical. Then the Democrat or Liberal or whoever backs down hastily. One thing I like about Obama, he doesn’t play that game. I’m looking forward to his giving “them” a big fat raspberry!

What’s with all this talk about foreskin restoration, miso-gynists?
Where’s the equal opportunity discussion regarding hymen repair?

NEW RULE — No-one is allowed to use phrases about “bringing a knife to a knife-fight”, or “gun to a gun-fight”, unless they have actual experience or training in the relevant form of combat.

I have a favor to ask all of you. I know I haven’t been here long and don’t know many of the regulars here but I love this site and the commenters are like ‘crack’ for me. I notice that HAAM is in this thread. I posted this a few days ago in another thread but I’ll post it again:
thanks all

The fact is, Smut Clyde is a retard and probably a homosexual.

Jillian, I remember getting my Bachelor’s in Education, and, yes, that stuff is the most boring, politically correct, dumb, yet pretentious writing that I saw in college. Except for Paolo Friere, probably a couple of others that I never got to.
In my experience most modern US educational theory is where philosophy goes to die.
But anyway, I’m very glad to see you back!

And I’ve emailed our great and beneficent SadlyNaught! Overlords but I’ve gotten no reply so far. And I don’t mean to be a ‘whinyasstittybaby’ about this but this guy’s name emotionally offends me

If I offend you than go find a dark corner to cry in you cocksucker. And take your partner with you.

Well, tontocal, it’s like this: Teh Sadlys are bona fide saints when it comes to free speech. Seriously. They just don’t ban people — even when those in question can barely be classified as “people.” It takes something really beyond your basic trollitude — say, posting personal info or making believable threats — to get banned here. I’m as annoyed as you are by the monkey-boy, but all in all I support the proprietors’ anti-censorship policy.
And Haam? Fuck off. You’re boring and your mother is ashamed of you.

Hey tontocal,
We’ve gone around and around a number of times on the whole banning thing, and it’s usually come back to the idea that banning actually gives these shitstains way more power than they’d have otherwise. Let their hatred and gross stupidity be out there for everyone to see - if you ever need help persuading anyone that Republicans are quite often too vile to be granted the franchise, you needn’t look any further than here.
BTW, I’m pretty sure our latest troll is just another incarnation of Gary Ruppert.
My heart goes out to you and your partner, though. I’m bisexual myself, and my dearest friend in the whole world is a gay man, so this is a topic of great personal relevance to me. One of the things I *HATE* the worst about Obama is his pandering to the religious voting bloc in this country, who do more to hurt me an
