Hillary’s Obama Assassination Fantasy?
By Jerry Bowyer
Saturday, May 24, 2008This week Hillary gave them what they wanted: she ‘invoked’ (whatever the heck that means) the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. They’ve been waiting for something like this. The [liberal] blogs have been buzzing for months with what fellow Townhall columnist, Mark Steyn calls, “Obama assassination porn;” that is, detailed fantasies in which Obama is felled by an assassin’s bullet, often in mid-speech.
They have? Never have we witnessed such absurd and backwards behavior.
Oh wait.
Um, yeah.

This video clip disturbs me, as it did when I first viewed it several hours ago. Note the utter casualness of both Liz Trotta and the host. She makes her comment while chuckling, he blithely observes “Tell us how you really feel”, and then the conversation proceeds as if they hadn’t just advocated the assassination of a presidential candidate.
This is eliminationist rhetoric at its most banal and routine, and that’s what makes it scary.

Maybe’s she’s simply thinking of a High Noon meets James Bond pitch where Osama and Obama shoot it out, duke it out and finally dive for the lone gun with a single bullet which pierces both of them, missing Obama’s liver but piercing Osama’s heart. It’s close, but the Prezinator lives to govern a second term.
I mean we don’t know for sure what she meant.

I took a look at Taylor Marsh’s place today, and I’ve gotta say, they give the wingnuts a run for their money in the old batshittery competition. These people are supposed to be on our side? I read that stuff and I want to just give up and leave for someplace sane, if there is such a place these days.
It’s not that I think the extreme weirdness on sites like that is going to have a huge impact on the vast majority of Dem voters, but it is still very disturbing. What the hell is wrong with those people? The commenters over there are ravin’ loonies!

That Steyn article at NRO that you hyperlinked under the word “have” contains one of the most repugnant passages I’ve read in the past week:
“Very few people in America want a real revolution: Life is great, this is a terrific country, with unparalleled economic opportunities. To be sure, it’s a tougher break if you have the misfortune to be the victim of one of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs or a decrepit inner-city grade school with a higher per-student budget than the wealthiest parts of Switzerland. But even so, to be born a U.S. citizen is, as Cecil Rhodes once said of England, to win first prize in the lottery of life.”
How the fuck do these people not see the irony in talking about how great life is in America, just like it was for CECIL FUCKING RHODES in England? Does Steyn know who Cecil Rhodes WAS? Can he possibly understand why using Rhodes as an example of how good life was for the average Englishman isn’t just inaccurate, but really goddamned sick?
g said,
May 26, 2008 at 7:29
Cecil Rhodes? They invoked Cecil Rhodes?
Foudner of Rhodesia. There’s an accomplishment!
Rhodes wanted to expand the British Empire because he believed that the Anglo-Saxon race was destined to greatness. In his last will and testament, Rhodes said of the British, “I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race.”
Heh. Scroll down. Wikipedia implies that maybe he was Teh Gay

Does anyone else find this the funnest US election cycle in their lifetime?
It can only compare to ’68 and then only barely.
’68 was scary for kids like me of draft age who couldn’t vote or drink but could be sent off to die, and instead got to watch a bunch of white guys in button down suits, including, fer fucks sake, George Wallace and fucking Dick Nixon, battle it out with Hubert fucking Humphrey and a dead Kennedy…
Messianic political movements always have this kind of stuff, the suffering servant of the people, who lays down his life for them, felled by the military industrial complex, or the CIA or Halliburton or the establishment. Che, Bobby, Jack, Abraham and now Obama.
But this cycle is way grander. No draft. Sure, there’s some economic difficulties, but seriously, this time you have the trifecta- black dude, woman, AARP.
Or, if you prefer some of the more confused blog commenter statements- “Liberal Repubican, Conservative Democrat, Far-Left Democrat, or maybe – ‘War Hero’, ‘Racist’, ‘Sexist’.
I am so making a Che, Bobby, Obama, Abramhoff t-shirt!
Did she not see how the cyclone of hard Left hatred for her and the hurricane of Obama’s messianic image would combine into a perfect storm of outrage from the Left?
I can’t decide whether Ms Clinton or Townhall’s Jerry Bowyer more needs my hug.
t Winslow said,
May 26, 2008 at 8:14
This story has legs, not because it furher proves Hillary’s moral emptiness (although it does) but rather because it fits so nicely into the “Obama as messiah” myth.
I don’t know about you guys, but Im far to lazy and drunk to sign up to comment over there at townhall.
But I love this comment (above).
Its got it all, Obama’s hot sexy legs, ‘furher’ misspelled, the whole, ‘sadly, these people are worshiping the wrong jesus’ bit. Only thing that would make it better, a subliminal, ”I’d suck his dick” refrerence.
Will this myth continue unchallenged all the way to November? Only if (i) the mainstream press is complicit in closing its eyes to all of Sen. Obama’s many human frailties; and (ii) if the American populace chooses to swallow this story without even chewing on it a little bit.
heh. Gotta love this shit.

Damn you, thought I was done with this.
Does Steyn know who Cecil Rhodes WAS?
I’m fairly certain Mr Steyn does know that Cecil Rhodes was a white man, in deepest darkest africa.
I did not actually finish Steyn’s article, I got bored halfway thru and switched over to YouTube Kimba The White Lion videos-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYXuCu8apL0
I don’t know, they just seemed more relevant.
but I gather, from what i did read, that Mr Steyn thinks Che and Roy Rogers where on Golden Girls and thus we should not vote for Obama so Goldwater can finally be on Sesame Street. Oh, and he wanted to use ‘ersatz’, in a sentence, cuz, you know, its german. Like Furhur, but without the umlats.
Of course, I could be wrong. like i said, I didn’t really read the thing, Kimba seemed soo much more important

I think he’s given up trying to be coherent or even relevant. Last weeks appearance on hewitt and the NRO article was some of the dumbest, racist shit I have ever read. I’m debating suspending Steynwatch, as life is getting to short to wade through filth like that.

Some Guy,
Sadly, No!
Ya see, because a doctor in Britain used the computer at his hospital to read about Osama bin Laden any doctor in Britain could do the same thing and he wouldn’t be caught because NHS doesn’t check its practitioners’ computer usage accounts. Whereas in the United States, doctors use their own private computers and [mumble] war on terror [indecipherable] Victory!

On the Pamela post, it seems that her commenters have finally caught on to her batshit insanity:
“Atlas Shrugs has been transformed into Pamela’s frilly pink basket of an on-line Barack Obama Rave Page, a repository of repressed love letters to the man that birth, background and politics can allow her to adore only unconsciously, and therefore consciously to hate with a passion that has gone over the border of obsession to purest erotic compulsion.”

There you go again with the misogyny. Liz Trotta- clearly a vaginal-American. So what if she thinks it would be great if Osama bin Laden and his best pal Obama-bin-hatin’-on-the-womyn Hussein Elitist Muslimofascist were both knocked off. You’re just disparaging her because you can’t handle a strong woman with real valid opinions.

The incompetent car bombers in London and Glasgow a while ago included doctors working for the National Health Service. What worries me most is that the NHS is having such difficulty recruiting that they hire people with such poor knowledge of basic science – fire requires oxygen you blithering idiots.

Darlin’, er Sweetie, I mean, tWinslow, I like my nym – I’ve been using it for about eight years now, as a personal tribute to a beautiful young man who was sometimes called that by his fellow band members, before he became a bit more well-known – and I’m kind of digging the idea of the polar bear suit, so . . . no.
