Evil in Norway
No one will be surprised that things have been interesting over at the shrieking harpy’s anti-Muslim klaven lately. Particularly now that it is clear that the Norwegian madman was influenced by extremist anti-Muslim lunatics like Pam and her ilk at Brussels Journal, Gates of Vienna, and Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch.
The “fun” started with “Norway Shooter a Charles Johnson Fan: The Killer Links to LGF.” Only Geller could start tromping down this path without realizing it was going to blow up in her on face. Did she think that anyone linking to LGF in its crazy days wouldn’t also be enamored with Pamela’s own amphetamine-crazed rantings about Muslims?
No one is explaining what his [the shooter's] anti-Muslim views (if he really had them) have to do with his attacks. Maybe the shooter was like Johnson and turned.
The shooter once posted ONE link to Atlas. ONE link.
Sadly, no. In the anti-Muslim screed posted by the shooter, I counted thirteen links to Atlas Shrugged.
Pam holds on to the idea that the shooter wasn’t really anti-Muslim in her latest post and says, in defiance of all evidence in the shooter’s 1500-page anti-Muslim screed:
And if he’s a right winger who hates Muslims, how does that translate into killing a bunch of political youth party Workers’ Youth League. He could easily have found Muslim children to kill if that had been his intention.
Snark fails me here. But this is just leading up to Pam’s point about the real atrocity here:
Watching CNN and BBC coverage about Norway, I found very disturbing to hear the number of times they use the word “Christian.” They would never dare refer to religion when it is jihad, and this attack had nothing to do with Christianity. It is outrageous.
That’s rich coming from someone who has spent her adult life running a blog devoted to reporting every instance where a Muslim driver runs a red light.

ABOVE: Donald Douglas, Assistant Professor of Demonology, Long Beach Community College
We haven’t poked a stick in Donald Douglas’s cage recently, so when I heard the telltale fap-fap-fap coming from his direction, I moseyed over to his place at American White Power to see what America’s Dumbest Assistant Professor™ was up to. Donald was in high wank over the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. And for a moment I thought that was probably a good thing — certainly more productive than his overcompensatory passion for posting pictures of white girls in negligées or his penchant for trumpeting his own persecution at the hands of the “demonic” left.
But then I go to the last sentence of his post where he approvingly links to a Steve Sailor post noting that the reason why the U.S. team is so good is because they are all white. Those dusky toe of black women and Latinas just won’t get any good mojo going on the soccer ball, you know. All sports should be all white. The only thing black people should do in an athletic stadium is sell beer, etc., etc.
Honestly, poor Donald, he just can’t help himself. He can’t bring himself to write a post that even a demonic French perv like myself could get behind without screwing it up.
If you’ve ever wondered who they mean when they talk about a guy “so dumb he could fuck up wet dream,” they mean guys like poor Assistant Professor Donald.

What Michele Bachmann Should Have Said About Slavery
Add Tony Blankley and Charles “Chuckles” Krauthammer to the list of people who are being kept awake at nights over the deficit. First up is Tony — the inflatable pundit, with this:
Until a couple of years ago, … I assumed that America was on a slow, irreversible trek to the statist side.
Nice to know what Tony thought of the US until Obama was elected.
It is hard not to suspect that even the recent “big solution,” a $4 trillion alleged reduction-in-deficit plan (rumored to be $1.3 trillion in taxes and $2.7 trillion in spending cuts), is utterly inadequate to the challenge.
First of all, it would be too small a reduction; we need to reduce deficits by at least $10 trillion in 10 years.
At least $10 trillion. Which essentially means that deficits must be reduced to zero (PDF or this) — but then again one imagines Tony saying that number much as Dr. Evil would: It’s meant to sound scary and show seriousness but really all he can manage is showing he has no idea what the hell is going on.
And then there’s Chuckles, who is so out of touch with reality that he actually thinks this is the kind of stuff that could happen:
The Republican House should immediately pass a short-term debt-ceiling hike of $500 billion containing $500 billion in budget cuts.
Yes — these guys are going to pass a debt-ceiling hike:
“There should be no default on August 2,” Brooks said. “In fact, our credit rating should be improved by not raising the debt ceiling.”
Anyway — where were we? Oh, right — we were complaining about the fact the press has unfairly labeled Republicans as unwilling to compromise on the issue of taxes:
A pliant press swallows the White House story line: the great compromiser (“clearly exasperated,” sympathized a Post news story) being stymied by Republican “intransigence” (the noun actually used in another front-page Post news story to describe the Republican position on taxes).
The meme having been established, Republicans have been neatly set up to take the fall if a deal is not reached by Aug. 2.
Yes, the “meme” — if by meme one means actually reporting what the Republican leadership has been saying the entire fucking* time:
Listen, we’ve got to stop spending money that we don’t have, and since the beginning, the Majority Leader and myself [Boehner], along with Sen. McConnell and Sen. Kyl have been clear: tax hikes are off the table.
Next thing you know Chuckles will start complaining about the liberal meme that Reagan traded arms for hostages or repeatedly raised taxes.
The Republicans are being totally outmaneuvered. The House speaker appears disoriented. It’s time to act. Time to call Obama’s bluff.
They’re not being outmaneuvered — they’re exactly where they want to be. An appeal to reason only works if the people you’re appealing to aren’t, you know, unreasonable.
Chuckles goes for big giggles towards the end with this:
After all, by what crazy calculation should Republicans allow themselves to be blamed for a debt crisis that could destabilize the economy and even precipitate a double-dip recession?
Maybe by the crazy calculation that they’re the ones who got us here?
