No, it’ll be called “Suck on it while you watch a mulatto and his Nubian wife rule that House for eight years with their little cornrowed girls frolicking in the Rose Garden, assholes”.

That’s what it’ll be called. Assholes.

Actually, since Obama’s the liberalest senator who has ever walked the Earth and that includes Ted Kennedy and Michael Moore, who I’m not sure is a senator, but is fat it’ll actually be repainted with every color known, to show the acceptance and tolerance he has for everyone and everything and then they’ll call it Rainbow House and then teh Ghey will take over and we’ll all have to marry box turtles and wear burkas and pray to the great Atheist God of Mohammed Darwin.

Remember that douchebag Tom Maguire? Had I but dirt enough and lime I’d bury his blog six feet under and let it rot but that’s not possible so I recommend mocking him regularly instead. He’s going to be a go to wingnut for racist smears on Obama during the campaign. Check him out criticizing Obama for his “gun to a knife fight” comment the other day. Because when a black candidate makes any kind of reference to guns what choice does a reasonable conservative have but to start comparing him to gangsta rappers?

Teddy Roosevelt nicknamed the President’s residence “The White House,” because it is a house that is white. Unless Obama is planning on painting the building a different color- a proposition he has yet to make- it will continue being called “The White House.”

With that being said (in straightforward a tone as possible), the Texas Republican Party is apparently populated by racists who think their own farts smell awful pretty. Not surprising; the Texas GOP has been singled out on quite a few occasions for their ridiculousness. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this the same group of people who has “re-take the Panama Canal” on their party platform?

I drilled back through the links and found the apparent vendor, at republicanmarket.com. They don’t show the button on their website – probably took it down after the story in the Dallas News. But they still have some pretty nasty stuff up – a button touting a Hillary chicken dinner special with 2 fat thights, 2 small breasts and a left wing. Ha.Ha.
Actually, the site looks a little sad – they’ve miscalculated so badly that they’ve overinvested in anti-Hillary merch, now they can’t sell it and it’s counter to their own party’s strategy.

Way to court those Hillary crossover voters, guys. Time for a 2-fer one sale.

Of course for the joke to resonate, one has to assume that The White House is defacto only for white people. I guess the Republicans are revealing that’s their inherent assumption.

This is going to be ugly fun, watching the GOP mandarins freak out as the base itself forgets to code their message on an increasingly frequent basis.

As we get further into this fight, you can bet that the repug grassroots is going to start slipping the careful control of Rovian ’southern strategy’ message control and just going off on ‘liquored-up septigenarian’ rants, which will reveal to all their true feelings about race relations — I think it be an educational experience for those who somehow think everything was fixed by the civil rights movement.

So Bush’s base; tell us what you really think. Go ahead and show us the monster.

Ronald grew up above the variety store, Hollywood actor, former president of the Screen Actors Guild Reagan, who lived in Bel-Air but visited a retreat which had no cows.

GMT, I don’t think that’s fair. There’s more to conservatism than that.

There’s “fear that the womyn will steal your dick” and “fear that teh gays are going to steal your dick”. And let’s not forget “fear of those rotten kids playing on your lawn…and then stealing your dick…”

I’m sure the Texas GOP will have its 2008 party platform ready and available shortly, but for those who can’t wait, here’s the first paragraph of the preamble to the 2006 platform (pdf).

Throughout the world people dare to dream of freedom, of opportunity, of a beautiful country in which to grow, to raise their family, to worship God in their own way without fear. The embodiment of that dream is America. And within America, people dare to dream of achieving, of becoming somebody better, served and protected by, not encumbered by, government, constantly nourished by faith and family, thriving in a free market, and helping others through charity of giving and serving. The embodiment of the Conservative Dream in America is Texas. Our Texas. It is we who strive to protect our culture from destruction, our children from predators and drugs, and our dear country from those who would destroy it. It is we who defend the embattled traditions that made our nation the greatest in all recorded history.

Lots of quality crazy follows.

Guy kidnaps ex-girlfriend to get ironing done
Reuters
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
ROME – An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a pub, taking her home and forcing her to iron his clothes and wash the dishes, police said Monday.

The 43-year-old man dragged the woman out of a pub in the port city of Genoa, shoved her into a car and took her to his home where he made her iron and wash dishes after threatening her, they said.

Police arrived at his house after being tipped off by a friend of the woman who watched the scene at the pub.

The man, who was apparently furious at his ex-girlfriend for leaving him, was arrested on charges of kidnapping, police said.

To the TRC: the GOP stands for things like gay rights in the face of the “bigot muslims” and other you-go-girlism. The GOP is as much a cancer in “embracing multiculturalism” as any “liberal” organization. Ron Paul was the candidate who took seriously the needs of America’s indigenous non-jews, catered to American’s first, Israeli-dual-citizens last. Did you support him?

Where did I lie, dude? Was it the missing $2.3 Trillion, anounced the day before 9/11?

CBS Reports Pentagon
Cannot Account for $2.3 Trillion

“‘According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,’ Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion — that’s $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America.”
— CBS, 1/29/02

Was it the damage to the Pentagon bookkeeping department on 9/11?

“The impact area included both the Navy operations center and the office complex of the National Guard and Army Reserve. It was also the end of the fiscal year and important budget information was in the damaged area.” -Arlington County After-Action Report

“Most of those killed in the office, called Resource Services Washington, were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts. They were at their desks when American Airlines Flight 77 struck.” – South Coast Today/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (12/20/01) http://www.s-t.com/daily/12-01/12-20-01/a02wn018.htm

I find it ironic that the GOPers, who were in control on 9/10 BTW, would claim that Obama has a mindset grounded in that day. But hey, line up and fuck me, right?

truth is, non-truthers, that the conspiracy posited by “the truth about 9/11″ would make a far better movie than oliver stone’s “world trade center”. it has action, excitement, and a classic Die Hard macguffin–it’s all about the gold! that’s why they blew up those buildings! to steal the gold.

Genius, your ability to make a case is at issue, not the money.

“Make a case”? On 9/10, Rummy announces that 2.3 trillion is missing. The next day, the Pentagon department that might’ve investigated that loss gets blasted by Flight 77. Its pure coincidence!

The fact that a huge percentage of Americans know nothing of this, including the presumably well-informed and sparkling intelligences that inhabit SadlyNo!, is a mere curiosity. I mean, its not as though $2.3 Trillion is a lot of money, at a time when Pentagon budgets have no throttle and Iraq War veterans are being left homeless.

The GOPers point to 9/10 and attempt to link Obama with that day, counting on all of us to forget that their Eternal War policy means abandoning social services in lieu of massive increases in Pentagon spending (which ends up in the hands of Republican insiders), in spite of the fact that its a black hole with little or no accountability. 9/10, if it suggests nothing else, ought to be a reminder that the Pentagon can’t be trusted with our money.

Lest there be some doubts about the looting that’s been going on, remember that 363 TONS of $100 bills were loaded onto C-140’s and *lost* in Iraq (no accounting of it). 484 pallets of $1000 bills (each pallet weighed 1500 pounds) was, again, delivered to Iraq by C-140 and……no one is “sure” of where that money went.

To my way of seeing it (and I’m certain you’ll disagree), the Bush administration has overseen the largest transfer of wealth from one class to another, in the history of humanity. There is no “case” to be made for the missing $2.3 Trillion, its just another chunk of change that was pulled out of your pocket…….and you weren’t even aware of it. Everytime these idiots try to link Obama with 9/10, 9/10 ought to be thrown right back at them.

“According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,” Rumsfeld admitted.

$2.3 trillion — that’s $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.

“We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,” said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service.

And then Jim Minnery was killed under mysterious circumstances.

To be fair to whateverdipshit, there was a huge cash transfer to Iraq that was done rather shadily. Nearly nine billion bucks of that was completely undocumented as to where it ultimately went. The Brits recently counted another fourteen bil or so from other sources that went down the same road.

Duh. A war? Profiteers? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
I am so in the wrong line of work.

I’m trying to figure out how 2.3 trillion was somehow diverted by teh bushies inside of eight months when it was more like five years of the whole defense budget. That, and why Rummy was announcing something so huge that he and his alien gray buddies would need to blow up the Pentagon to hide it right after he oopsied and let it slip.

That said, a fuck of a lot of cash did in fact disappear in Iraq. Cash that was palletized and flown in on C-141 and C-17 cargo planes.

Hell, it wouldn’t take my comment: here it is though

This is hysterical. Half the comments from non republicans condemn this button for what it is, utterly racist for implying that the color of the inhabitant of the white house determines and determined its exterior color. All our previous presidents are thus represented as somehow “for” white supremacy and Obama as a prospective president is mocked and attacked for, presumably, demanding that his race be memorialized in the color of the national house.

I had to break it down that way because some posters continue to play dumb about what the image “represents.”

Having said that the rest of the comments from self proclaimed republicans range from shock and horror (!) –I can’t believe its not a democratic plot to make us look bad! Honestly, we’re not all like this! It must be a tiny minority! Its a huge majority but the good conservatives are working to take their party back! After all, we used to be the “party of lincoln” even though no one can remember what that actually used to stand for or why we abandoned it in favor of being the party of raceism and segregation.–

to outright pride “I love it, I’d buy one!” “You guys have no sense of humor” “Its in poor taste but so what, once I’ve defined it as a matter of taste I’m sure its no worse than a whoopee cushion in church” and “I’m sure you’d be as racist as we are if you were in our party.” In fact the comment right above this one (if it gets posted) is “sad the liberals have no sense of humor and little sense of tolerance.” Of course the button isn’t funny and its far from clear why tolerance should be evoked. One tolerates a wide variety of non harmful things–but one actively points and laughs and makes fun of things that are harmful and stupid simultaneously.

Still, there you have it. Half the republicans on this thread are shocked to find out what the other half of the republicans on this thread are proud of . They are sharing their party with a bunch of frightened little racists. I’ve got a great idea–why don’t the two of you fight it out for the soul of your party and let the rest of america get on with electing a serious presidential candidate who happens to be black?
