Steele: GOP needs ‘hip-hop’ makeover
Thursday, February 19, 2009
The Washington TimesNewly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party’s principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.”
The RNC’s first black chairman will “surprise everyone” when updating the party’s image using the Internet and advertisements on radio, on television and in print, he told The Washington Times.
Above: What do you mean? The swastika is an honored Native American symbol.
The Sadly Nazi stamp of approval is my favorite internet tradition to date.
Great stuff, Gav.
I said a hip, hop, a hippity to the hippity hip hip hop
Vote for us, and the cops won’t pop a cap in your chimplike butt.
Steele: GOP needs ‘hip-hop’ makeover
I don’t even want to imagine what a hip-hop version of the GOP would look like, although the first thing that popped into my head was Pat Boone singing “I’ll Still Kill” with 50 Cent.
Yo, Rush! We got some nonbelievers out there…
But–but—black man—monkey! Dogwhistle!
Thus we see ultimate proof that liberals, and specifically Sadly, No! are the real racists….
expect a truth infestation in 3…2…1….
Mee the new GOP, same as the old GOP. Its motto: “Within marketing, everything. Outside of marketing, nothing.”
I would, however, like to see how this will play to the David Duke faction….
I can’t wait to see Boner and Cantor dancing the rap hop to Cypress Hill, wearing black face and Raiders hats.
Not necessary. As many of you already know, Jason Mattera already gave the GOP a hip hop makeover last year. Does it get any doper than that?
I’m a chicken hawk [loop it].
Steele: “See, the way this works is, if I lower your taxes, you get to pimp out your ride with some new mags and that’s so fly that yo mama will hurt”
I would, however, like to see how this will play to the David Duke faction….
Come now. Surely we can make an educated guess.
“I said a hip, hop, a hippity to the hippity hip hip hop”
What with the hippin’ and the hoppin’ and the bippin’ and the boppin’! That Michael Steele is one hip-to-the-jive cat! 23 skidoo!
But didn’t racism officially end because the Stealth Muslim who was secretly born in Kenya to Malcolm X was illegitimately elected President by Acorn?

excuse me. I meant to say I would like to WATCH how this will play to the David Duke faction.
You know, now that I think about it, this off-the-hook (but definitely not cutting-edge) hip-hop publicity campaign announced by Steele is completely concordant with the direction the Republican Party has been moving since at least the fall of last year. After all, John McCain got the coveted Daddy Yankee endorsement.
Is this the same Michael Steele from the phantom cookies incident?
Genius….sheer genius.
The cartoon, not Steele.
Fail.
yo yo yo wassup wassup i know you aint been tippin over mah char-coal greeeeeyull gimme a hells ya if ya holla know what i sayin bout obama socializin the terrorizin of north cackalacky and mah char-coal greeeeeeeeeyull ya feels me
urban-suburban hip-hop settings
This is certain to invigorate the frightened white portion of the GOP demographic, that is to say the GOP demographic.
Nicely played, Gavin.
It’s…it’s BEYOND cutting edge.
It would certainly be funny if one of the esteemed troll parodists failed to bring the Cool Coach to this party…..
And by ‘Funny’ I mean ‘Kind of a relief, actually’
I’m sure the RNC is thrilled with Steele’s daring gamble. Finally Caucasian GOPers will be able to reap all the benefits of using the N-word!
So, now.
Is Sarah Palin a bitch or a ho?
Steele’s throwing a party? Man, but I just let my dogs out.
Finally Caucasian GOPers will be able to reap all the benefits of using the N-word!
I envision many laborious tutoring sessions dealing with the difference between “nigga” and “nigger”.
This is certain to invigorate the frightened white portion of the GOP demographic, that is to say the GOP demographic.
I think they’re counting on that part of the demographic – i.e., all of it – not knowing what the other hand is doing, so to speak. It’s part of their mastery of modern communication technology, or something. And counting on their base not venturing outside their gated communities.
Wuzza-wuzzup loony libizzles? Heh indeedy for sheedy, if you know what the Cool Coach is saying with his SPRIZZLE of TRIZZLE! That’s right, the Man of Steele has got the McCaniac Partaaay back on track, which means you’re gonna make tracks when Super Sarah, the Power Palin, and Boss Bobby Jindal smack you with their SPREAD of FISTS in 2012! The Obummer won’t have a clizzue what hit him! Urban out.
Some people just don’t understand satire.
That cartoon makes me twitchy. I know you’re making fun of it and all, but still…uncool.
Yo, yo, y…
Ah, fuck it. OK, your guy won, big whoop, like I’m surprised. I’m actually a little embarrassed by the whole Super Sarah thing.
I dunno what get’s into me.
Uh, out.
No no no, it’s “nigra”, not “neegra”
We’re totally convinced our marketing department can come up with a fittingly conservative version of “The Anthem.” ¡Dale!
It will be especially fun to watch them bashing one another upside they haids deciding whether to let him into the country club for the fundraiser.
This thread has gone meta
Find some steel, Matt. This is necessary.
Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics…
I’m sure it will in fact be very offensive.
You too can smoke a blunt with Roy Blunt.
You too can get down with Larry Craig.
You too can rub Armstrong Williams’ head.
You too can shake your booty with Rudy.

The Jungle Drums, they ring out from the Tennessee GOP!

Here’s a sample of what the GOP’s attempt to lure black voters with an urban, hip-hop setting might look like:
Rap: The Musical
Hey buddy! How’s it going? What’s happening? You got some bling bling here!
Who let the dogs out? WHO! WHO!
Someone needs to tell Steele that the GOP still thinks that newfangled “rock ‘n roll” is a bunch of noise that leads to teh sex.
That’s Republican Par-TAY.
I thought the turdblossom had this covered.
Michael Steel : Hip Hop :: Sarah Palin :: ?
a) Nucluar Engineer
b) Competent Mother
c) Punk Rock
d) Forein Policy Expert
You are being graded hippies…
Find some steel, Matt. This is necessary.
I don’t know. I don’t get the “necessary” part, but then, I’m not comfortable aping what I despise, even as satire (though I do love the Hitler-skull logo). Besides, the people that don’t already get the point will never be swayed by logic or clever mirth.
It’s not as though Steele hasn’t already given us the deed to a friggin’ humor mine, the depths and richness of which have yet to be plumbed.
Finally Caucasian GOPers will be able to reap all the benefits of using the N-word!
As a matter of fact, Boston’s local talk radio blowhard Jay Severin (formerly fond of calling the President Barack “Yo-bama,” though I haven’t heard him do that in a while) talks from time to time how “fascistic” it is that black people can use words that white people can’t.
ka-BOOM
Yep. It’s an extension of their SOP:
1. Run ads about the dreaded Brown Satan in all regions through most of their campaigns.
2. At the last minute toss the “We’re the Party of Lincoln” ad into a few key regions.
3. When the WPL ads don’t work for some mysterious reason it’s time for the anonymous robo-calls warning of cops with warrants at the polls.
4. Scratch head over the fact that the Brown Satan is staying away in droves.
5. Repeat.
You’ll never catch me sukkahs!
Ooh! Ooh! I know this one…. OK, I give up.
Hey, Matt, I understand your discomfort. I felt a little ill yesterday when I first saw that thing. I suppose the word ‘necessary is hyperbolic but the horse is out of the barn now. It’s important that non-wingnuts respond with something a little better than “this sucks”.
Gavin mentioned a couple of posts ago that he was struggling because there is ‘always more to them than you can quite get at’. Today, Michael Steele steps up and puts it perfectly into focus.
Oh please oh please let the old white GOP party try to repackage themselves with an ‘urban aesthetic’. I cannot think of a single thing that would be more insincere or funny.
Topped only by the circular firing squad that will follow after the doomed initiative fails and the idiots who thought this was a good idea square off with the David Dukers and the rock^H^H^H^H hiphop is satan Reagan hold-overs.

Now is the time for me.
If we’re dragging Mr. Show into it, this has to be the standard
As hilarious as it is, it is really sad that the Republican party has finally eclipsed the gold standard of comedy, Mr. Show in self-satire. Cross and Odenkirk were our last best hope for the survival of fictional stupidity that didn’t actually exist in the real world.
Of course, there’s always this.
rrrrrmwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrawrrrrr
OK, a question. During the election it was suggested by various asshats and other cretins that Obama was somehow responsible for every action by every black person in the country, including those who wrote or sang offensive rap and hip-hop songs. (Denounce & Reject!)
Now that the GOP is going to bust a move on that sector of the industry, does this make the GOP responsible for said unpleasant behavior or is Obama responsible for the GOP?
When you encounter this question, one need go no further, for the answer is always “no.”
They’re still blaming the Great Depression on FDR, taking responsibility for stuff isn’t their bag.
Tom:
Wonder no more!
Checking back to see if the Nazi Seal of Approval is still funny…
Yep. Fucking hilarious.
Gavin, I have a request.
Would it be possible to make the swastikas spin and the word ‘funny’ blink?
As I am a perpetual n00b, I’m not sure how technical that would be.
It would put it above even Teh Sammich in my mind.
RePublic Enemy: “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Aloft” b/w “Fight the Powerless”
Actually, it does worry me some that a fair number of hip hop stars are wealthy sociopaths who would fit right in with the GOP’s fiscal agenda if the party wasn’t so unbelievably racist. Absent the last bit, the GOP probably could make inroads with blacks who’ve taken up that mentality.
I have no idea how significant a chunk of voters this is though, and maybe they’re already the >10% of blacks who vote GOP.
You know, this is actually kinda easy. I’m not sure about the Windows world – I believe some freeware of that nature exists – but in the Mac world there’s GIFBuilder which is pretty much a drag-and-drop affair: two photoshopped pictures for instance will become one animated GIF.

Chuck D would set them straight.
I don’t know, the richest of the rappers (Jay-Z, Luda, Fiddy Cent, Master P, etc.) are staunch Obama supporters.
I don’t see them switching teams any time soon.
I think spinning swastika eyes would be priceless.

In my mind, this is how I see our truthy troll…
It’s possible to do animated GIFs in Photoshop, although the feature is kind of weird and tacked on. Things blinking is a lot easier than rotating, as it happens, although… Well, lemme try it the next time the graphic comes up. And/or if you’d like to work on it in the meantime, etc…?

The Gimp lets you make animations, using layers. Each frame would be one layer, and the saved animation would cycle through each with whatever delay you choose. Here’s one I made approx. one million years ago. I seem to recall thinking the process was pretty easy and fairly intuitive.
Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics…
Fizzixed.
‘Cuz you know we be bigga than U.S. Steel.
I’m down with GOP…
Keep markets free!
It’s funny, as much as Steele spouts the same old tired talking points, part of me has to like the guy, because his personal history is just so… unusual. Hell, I just found out last night that he was once an Augustinian seminarian.
I still laugh my ass off picturing him as “Giggle Time All-Mo”, though.
an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters
I am not sure whose phone is off the hook here. Are the younger voters not answering calls, or is it the public-relations campaign?
Urban is to suburban as hip is to hop.
I don’t know, the richest of the rappers (Jay-Z, Luda, Fiddy Cent, Master P, etc.) are staunch Obama supporters.
And then there’s DMX:
I just hope that between Michael Steele and Mitt Romney, someone can figure out who let the dogs out.
Actually, Fiddy supported Dubya (ain’t no party like a phonetically-spelled party) in ’04, on the grounds that he was “a gangsta”. So, yeah, at least one gangsta rapper has bought into the wingnut American dream that their lyrics sometimes seem to espouse. I’ve never been able to stand 50 Cent’s mush-mouthed, amelodic shitfests anyway; it’s exactly the kind of thing that gives middle-aged, barely-closeted racists ammo for their “It should be called CRAP music LOL!!!1!!eleventy!!” rants.
I would do it, but I don’t have the tools…
“One-armed midgets”?
I think he’s been watching old eps of The Man Show….
I think spinning swastika eyes would be priceless.
The swastikas, they’re spinnin’!
Need I even say, NSFW? Cussin’.
He came around in ’08, but I’m sure Jay-Z, Luda, and Master P are thoroughly Dems. Also, Beyonce.
Ooo, I can listen to “In the Club” over and over again for hours straight. And I do.

Actually, for the rotation, you could probably fake it by alternating between one position and a 1/8ths turn to the right.
I’d call this “racist”, only I don’t know “racist” means.
Can one of you liberals help me out?
Wow. In the span to two weeks, the Republican party has gone from punk to hip-hop. I guess I missed the five or so seconds when the GOP was grunge. At this rate, theremins will be required for caucus meetings.

Any time that you might be holding a party in the future, I am washing my hair that night.
Maybe they’ll go alternative next week. I hope so, because then they’ll actually begin disdaining mainstream popularity. Although it’s hard to think of how you could disdain popularity more effectively than they seem to have already decided to.

50 Cent’s mush-mouthed
50 Cent is mush-mouthed because his mouth was pretty much literally made mush, on account of the bullets. Not that that stops him from sucking.

If they hate then let ’em hate just watch the money pile up

Is that something that works better with faster rotations, and with symmetrical patterns? I’m trying to picture it.

a212,
I just never noticed it before. Imagine all the PENISes I coulda been popping up. I gotta think of something else to link, just to pop-up some more PENIS.
I’m betting they go emo.
After all, they’ve got the self-absorption, self-pity and tantrum things down perfect…
One thing, even the worst hip hop stars know their audience loves them some Barack, so publicly switching to the GOP is a CLM of some kind.
I know I haven’t felt the same about Wilfred Brimley since I found out his party affiliation. Oatmeal just tastes like ashes now.
t4t,
Mouseovers are your friend
After all, they’ve got the self-absorption, self-pity and tantrum things down perfect…
I think they’ve got the country vote locked up, pretty much…
Jeez, DWK, that would take the effort of me stopping and thinking instead of clicking the link all willy-nilly.
And that is most certainly not how I do the roll, Mr. Homie (/Steele)
Wow. In the span to two weeks, the Republican party has gone from punk to hip-hop.
In his book England’s Dreaming, Jon Savage made a convincing case that rap is the African-American punk, as both embraced a DIY ethos. Oddly enough, Jamaican music (in the form of dub) was an important inspiration for the English punks and the original rappers in the Bronx.
Kinda trippy to see Chuck Schumer and DJ Kool Herc sharing a venue.
Wait, d’you have a Mac or PC?>/i>
Typical corporatecentric thinking. Linux r00lz, d00d.
[I got nuttin in re the topic on account of because Git offa my lawn!]
I like “In the Club” too. The rest of 50 Cent’s oeuvre, no.
I tried to install Linux via WUBI on my computer, but I have some graphic driver problem.
Mikey sent me a link to alleviate the problem which took me to a page that was, as far as I could tell, written entirely in Middle Swahili.
The GOP is incapable of being hip and will only look that much more pathetic for trying.
I like how in Get Rich or Die Trying he actually goes to the trouble of crying. Can’t you see he is for real??
The man sure has a way with words. This should be fun.
Steele is the Anti-Biden.
TO HTE THUNDERDOME!!!!
Argh, I have been trying to find the mashup of “In the Club” and the Bee Gees’ “Staying Alive” but the damn thing’s been scrubbed outa teh t00z!
Oddly enough, Ray of Gob is still up there.
Oatmeal just tastes like ashes now.
“Now”?
Not necessary. As many of you already know, Jason Mattera already gave the GOP a hip hop makeover last year. Does it get any doper than that?
Lawnguylander, I had to watch that entire clip – thanks for nothing. I felt like a rubbernecker at a particularly gruesome auto accident.
If I was Jason Mattera, I would stay the fuck away from any recording devices. How embarrassing.
“I don’t do ‘cutting-edge,’ “ he said. “That’s what Democrats are doing. We’re going beyond cutting-edge.”
Uh, doesn’t this imply that they’re going to be the object/substance that is being cut?
Well, where else can you go with a Wilfred Brimley joke? There aren’t any cool Republicans.
But he was demonstrating what the Hep Hoppers call “Street Creditability! (/Steele)
Don’t call it a comeback / I been here for years / Rockin my peers puttin suckas in fear / Makin the bombs rain down like a MON-soon / Listen to the missiles go BOOM / Explosion, overpowerin / Over the Democrats I’m towerin / Wreckin shop when I drop, my corruption makes you call the cops /
I’m gonna knock you out / Reagan said knock you out
etc.

Heh, I wonder if there are any Street Cred Default Swaps.
Steele meltdown? Like a blast furnace!
Is that something that works better with faster rotations, and with symmetrical patterns? I’m trying to picture it.
It’s pretty much something you can only get away with when using symmetrical patterns. Since a 1/4 turn gives you the exact same image (thanks to the four arms on the swastika), add a frame in with an intermediate step (or steps, a single 1/8th turn or two 1/12th turns, etc., if you want to be fancy), cycle back to the initial image, and you’ve got a rotation without having to go through all the hassle.
Heh. To be fair, as I go through my endless mp3 library listening to all the things I’ve accumulated without listening to them, 50 Cent winds up in the trash a lot. Mostly, even.
Freepers be off da hook, yo!?

(Needless to say, this works best with very small icons. Bigger images would require more frames to make the rotation look, well, rotate-y.)

OT but I can’t help myself. Rick Santorum gets big cheers in Nebraska. Offered without comment because he already exceeds anything parody, satire or snark can do.
Obviously this gentleman is treating Steele fairly on the basis of his involvement with the issues of the day, because racism doesn’t exist any more.
On the plus side, the inevitable day when whoever the Democrats pick square off against Snoop Dogg (R-NY) draws nearer and nearer.
Slow day, here, so:

Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party’s principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.”
It’s been done.
Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters…
Are the younger voters going to know what “off the hook” means, what with those cellular teleophones they use now-a-days?
I’ve had a domain that I haven’t done anything with (almost) ever. abba-dingo.com, fwiw.
I have a blog as well which I also never got around to doing anything with. it’s curingreligion.blogspot.com/.
I been fixin to do something at both those places but… Excelsior!
Steele isn’t the only Republican urging the GOP to pull itself into the 20th century.
A Santorum sighting! Thanks, Peej.
I loved this part:
Santorum said he believes Muslims’ religious views cannot be changed or altered, so Middle Easterners reject American, democratic ideals.
“A democracy could not exist because Mohammed already made the perfect law,” Santorum said. “The Quran is perfect just the way it is, that’s why it is only written in Islamic.”
Islamic – now with more nouns, verbs and adjectives!

Meghan McCain thinks that Republicans would be attracting more yung people, if they could just figure out how the whole intertubes thing works. This elicits the following reply:
JohnMcJunkin
While it’s not affiliated with the GOP, the #dontgo movement (www.dontgomovement.com) is a great example of conservatives and libertarians getting a strong handle on the use of the internet to promote grassroots activism. There’s also the brand new RFC Radio (www.rfcradio.com) which combines free-market, liberty-oriented thought with popular music and culture. The right won’t remain in the internet wilderness forever, and the Democrats deny that at their own peril.

Indeed, but I was wondering how all those schisms happened if they can’t change their views.
So Santorum is asserting that muslims take their religion literally and are unfit to live in a functioning democracy because they will impose their own scripture-based morality on everyone else?
I got nothing.

Well, yes, I’d say. Otherwise they wouldn’t be Muslim anymore, would they?

The fact is, liberal bias in the media is keeping you from seeing reality. Bernard Goldberg’s new book about you liberals drooling over Obsama nails you punks dead to rights, and exposes you as the MSM bias machine. We need conservative values, like the ones we have Here in the Heartland, reflected in the media or we will boycott.

Bernard Goldberg has not come up with a single new trick since, oh, probably forever. Who the fuck even cared about him at CBS, in his supposedly “pre-turncoat” days?
Must every last one of you be losers, Gary?
I love the name of Goldberg’s new book: A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (And Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media
I mean, no matter what your politics, what’s the point of buying the book after you’ve read the title?
Bernard Goldberg is still mad Dan Rather never asked him to The Prom. I read that first book ‘o butthurt he wrote, and it was the last book-lenghth conservative whine I bothered with. Every page, “What a crybaby. Maybe you just sucked, ya big titty-baby.”
And conservatives have just gotten worse since then.
You have to give him some credit in the pure selfishness department, however: he does seem to do pretty well for himself feeding the rubes the same “insider” shtick over and over and over again.
Fuck, he was doing this in 2001 when I was watching Fox News (did I mention I was insufferable in high school?). From the sounds of it he has just come up with new words for the same old crap.
Morning Joe didn’t think the original was racist nether did Pat Buchanan (SHOCKER), Joe also thinks that factory jobs building windmills will magically jump out his ass if he spews his right-wing crap all over my TV in the morning.

A Slobbering Love Affair
Bernie Goldberg needs to kick his editor, his publicist, and his agent in the ass for letting a book go out with an ugly, off-putting title like that.
I mean, I’m sure it’s an ugly, off-putting book, but Jesus. Was the entire marketing department asleep that day? Did someone actually think a book with “slobbering” in the title was going to have any kind of shelf appeal?
That cartoon makes me twitchy. I know you’re making fun of it and all, but still…uncool.
I think it’s fucking genius.
Stunning. This is hands down, no doubt about it, the most clever example of taking their words/logic/depiction to use against them I’ve ever come across. Ever. Did I say ever?
Please please please promise to send the cartoon to every wingnut blog and website in existence. The response will be priceless.
The fact is, my magic anus will fix America. It is an anus of freedom.
The ‘magic anus’ is a movie cliche. I blame lazy scriptwriters.
I would be more impressed if it were an enormous, mendacious, disembodied anus.
The hilarious thing is that there actually are Islamist rappers (in addition to the more mundanely Muslim kind, who are typical of hip-hop in France and Germany) – there’s actually a workmanlike enough joint quoted in the Rotten Library by the name of ‘Dirty Kuffar’. It goes more or less exactly like you’d expect.
They let Ann Coulter put her face on the covers of her books.
You think that’s bad? You have no idea what Goldberg’s editor has to put up with. One imagines every time he left the old fuck to his own devices, “B. O. Blackockus’ snuck in.
I can’t wait for the Islamic Rap(e) Wave to meet the enormous, mendacious, disembodied anus. Well, I can wait for a little while.

Well, obviously it’s vital to have the same discussion about a filthy money-grubbing self-hating media-controlling Jewess favoring the revolutionary Soviet client party over the revolutionary Chinese client party in Rhodeeeeejya, illustrating once and for all the peril in our unwitting betrayal of our race to B.

That photo of Endre and his wife is lovely. And did you know that as a classical violinist he has won widespread acclaim for his photography?
Who is Endre Balogh (hmm, sounds like a furriner), and why is he holding that violin?
Certainly, George Orwell had Marx in mind when he famously quipped, “There are some ideas so preposterous that only an intellectual could believe them.”

That may have come as a surprise to Orwell, however:
In his 1938 essay, “Why I joined the Independent Labour Party”, published in the ILP-affiliated New Leader, Orwell wrote “For some years past I have managed to make the capitalist class pay me several pounds a week for writing books against capitalism. But I do not delude myself that this state of affairs is going to last forever”,[63] going on to add “the only régime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a Socialist régime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer – that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a Socialist party.”[63] And towards the end of the essay, “I do not mean I have lost all faith in the Labour Party. My most earnest hope is that the Labour Party will win a clear majority in the next General Election.”[64]
He was later to add, in “Why I Write” (1946), “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.”[65]
“My recent novel [1984] is NOT intended as an attack on Socialism or on the British Labour Party (of which I am a supporter) but as a show-up of the perversions … which have already been partly realized in Communism and Fascism. …The scene of the book is laid in Britain in order to emphasize that the English-speaking races are not innately better than anyone else and that totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere.”

And of course the notoriously democratic AND republican Deutsche Demokratische Republik.
Ah, he’s a violinist/photographer. That explains…wait, what?
His photos are prominently displayed in the collections of several connoisseurs of fine photographic arts. In 2007, a solo exhibition of 47 of his photos ran for three months at the Karpeles Museum in Santa Barbara. His photo “Egg On Glass” was chosen from nearly 3000 entries from 40 countries to be displayed among 87 others in the prestigious “Art of Digital” International Exhibition – 2007.
Fucking elitist.
Memo to Endre Balogh:
If left to the mercies of the free market, there wouldn’t be a classical violinist alive in the world today.
Because his wife ran off with a Marxist? A big, black rapping Marxist with a major label contract?
Apropos of nothing, Leonard Nimoy does remarkably tasteful nude photography.
And a diamond and platinum violin.

The Economist has an article on “Alt-A” mortgages, as staggeringly toxic as sub-prime.
The very book.
As
Mark TwainWinston ChurchillGeorge Orwell famously said, “A mis-attributed quotation will be halfway around the right blogosphere before the truthhas finished trollinghas a chance to put its boots on.”This is more like the Stalin ‘quote’ about one death versus a million than the Fitzgerald ‘quote’ in which his breathless fellatio of the wealthy is shot down by Hemingway; while it’s doubtless not genuine (and it can be traced in the manner described from musculars to freepers to decents and so on), it gives a more or less correct impression of what Orwell thought. He was profoundly anti-intellectual, and the unifying thread of his praxis was basically Maoist – that socialism’s biggest problem was too much input from eggheads and not enough from the common man.
Contrary to popular delusion, however, he did not believe the common man to be Joe the Plumber. Populism in 21st-century America usually strongly implies a sort of deeply mannered reactionary aspiration and scapegoating; in the day and age when torpedoing the right to strike was a viable political idea, it was neither reasonable to misinterpret the common man’s desire as petit-bourgeois nor fashionable for the economic or political right to consider the popular opinion worth consulting even in theory.
I think every wingnut ever has used that mis-quotation. It seems to be like some sort of fucking secret handshake for them. I googled it for the sheer helluvit and sweet jeezus – there were a ton of them.

Sorry, I’ll get off it, I found it very funny.
It went like this: Someone called Cindy Sheehan a media whore, and The Editors made fun of it, and someone got mad and called The Editors “lying assholes”. His thrust was that because he didn’t literally accuse her of sex for cash he didn’t actually call her a whore.
In a post deconstructing his objections, The Editors noted that they really didn’t get called a “lying asshole”, because he wasn’t literally making an accusation that a lying, mendacious, disenbodied anus was making these charges against him.
A commenter noted the Kokomo feel to the phrase, and the rest is internet traditions.
I wasn’t aware that Soulja Boy trolled left-wing blogs.

I’ll let Djur know. There should be a way to specially kill it (or any other special characters) separately .
Bryan coopted deliberate inflation in the sense that he ran out in front of the Free Silver movement? I’m trying to understand these mass movements better — the ones that came in succession from about the 1840s to about WWII.
Oh, it’s not WordPress, so it must be Der Troll.
Hip hop? But won’t that throw everyone who attended the GOP Convention aka Heaven’s Waiting Room into cardiac arrest? Can the GOP afford to actually lose that many people?
Pipes (this thing | ) are tricky to deal with, I’d be careful throwing that in a killfile. The SQL server is almost certainly some flavor of unix and pipes are powerful characters.
In the future, any freshly-coined epigrams that bolster the author’s point will be given a sheen of
rectal mucustruthiness by attributing them to Gary Ruppert.Forget I said that, it shouldn’t matter.
Actually, it’s one of the trolls, but not necessarily the one who disappeared from the thread below when I asked him how best to deal with the current overtrolling problem.
the greasemonkey killfiles don;t seem to be broken by the |.
Yeah, but the troll’s intentions sure as hell matter. He’s basically trying to fuck with people’s computers now, and with various servers (Djur’s killfile, the S,N! server).
You’re right. I overreacted a bit because when I clicked on “kill” the message that popped up had no name in it, making me think it would remove all the comments or something.
Deliberate inflation was the implicit (and, out west, explicit) aim of Free Silver. While ostensibly the ridiculous exchange rate would allow for the liberalization of banking (it was assumed that the gold supply was fairly fixed, while silver was still very actively being mined), essentially everyone who owned real property without having any meaningful way to exploit it for rent had to rely on its value as a seizable asset – meaning that the considerable inflation in the heavily overvalued exchange rate for the then-gold-backed dollar would seriously benefit mortgagers at the expense of creditors and salaried workers.
Mind you, this was in the middle of a huge deflationary trend. And both the Populists and the silverite Democrats sought, in one form of another, more extensive public ownership of railroads and other infrastructure and the use of income tax to produce state revenue. Lots of practical, historical stuff. And it did have a heavy religious overtone – evangelical Christianity was much more positivist at the time.

Mr. Troll-With-The-Pipe-Character,
As a troll, I’m hoping you can bring some insight to this question. How best should this overtrolling problem be handled?
I ask because moderating or banning people and their comments is generally not how we like to do things here.
Thanks.
“As a troll, I’m hoping you can bring some insight to this question. How best should this overtrolling problem be handled?”
Well, hell, if you don’t wanna do that you just gotta deal.
A free society is the price we pay for a little insecurity, and some trollin’ problems is the price of a free forum. Get it?
I think just a little trollin’ gives this site character. Much like the occasional Klan parade, sanctioned by local authorities, makes the USA different from Europe.
Also, precisely because introducing silver as mintable at whatever fraction of the value of gold the particular candidates asked for – at least 1/20 (which would be half again its value) and as much as 1/8 (which would probably have resulted in enough inflation to seriously change the course of American history) – would do so much to weaken the banks’ stranglehold over rural America, the incidental Republican hostility to free-silver resulted in an unprecedented movement of capitalists as a class to support the GOP. Even Wilson, who was openly hostile to the remaining silverites, had to face a divided Republican Party to win the Presidency – and after the failure of the Bull Moose Party to actually capture meaningful non-Presidential success, the remaining Republicans would live or die by their ability to suck up to Eastern bankers.
Also, I’d suggest the hateful wops responsible for S,N! consult with Djur and/or someone who knows Greasemonkey’s limitations and put a name ban on anything which can’t be killfiled. Banning the scroll-troll is pointless, but that doesn’t mean they oughta have methods handed to them to screw with people with low bandwidth.
If you want to be a smarmy prick, Gavin could always just post your IP address and let nature take it’s course.
| is now in my killfile. Sadly, I will not be able to see his insights anymore.
See, I was imagining it as a boon to wage earners at the expense of those whose income came from investment returns. That was the essential populist appeal of free silver, though, wasn’t it? I mean, besides the other things that sort of got payloaded in under the ‘free silver’ banner?
Anti-Catholicism? Was Bryan’s chautauqua movement stoking public paranoia about the Vatican at all?
Maybe these are silly questions for their simplicity.
Welp, that’s that then.

I realize that the thread has moved far beyond the post where I copied these words,
and this is probably O/T and ignorable,
but could this possibly refer to Karl Rove?
Yup. ‘Positivist’ and ‘positive’ aren’t synonyms – they were the party of progress, and one element of that progress was the destruction of the instruments of backwards Papist indoctrination.
To some extent the essential appeal was in fact kicking the wealthy in the stones, but the primary objective was always improving the station of the public. Thus the heavy support for public rail – something which had, in the last 30 years, moved more public money into richer hands than anything in prior American history. (See ‘Credit Mobilier’ and ‘Grant Administration, well-deserved historiographic contempt of’.) Part of the appeal was also in liberalizing specie – paper money wasn’t quite regarded as worthless, but was definitely understood to be much less valuable than specie. The way the mint worked at the time was essentially by trade-in, and the use of gold alone in minting made greenbacks relatively infungible – you might, maybe, be able to buy enough gold to mint a dollar for $5. On the other hand, the same in silver even in the 1:20 regime would be more like $2.50.
Is that the usual HTML escape codes? Eg. &nnn;?
…that works too.
Or it’s actually &#nnn; I think, but how are you entering those codes, RB?
Also, there’s a very slight vestige of Whiggism at work in evangelical positivism in that period, but nonetheless it’s worth looking up the role of Whig ideology in mass politics. I don’t believe I’ve linked the article yet, so here is Adam Cadre’s summary of The Political Culture of the American Whigs – it makes a fascinating read, especially because of how Goddamn inscrutable the whigs are in modern terms.

You would have to add ‘unctuous’ to the line to refer to Trudblossom.
Oh, and a major influence on the 1896 campaign particularly but the Silverites’ peculiar temporal spread generally is something that hadn’t happened yet: the Klondike gold rush, which Americans wouldn’t find out about until 1897 and wouldn’t start exploiting for another year. The last large discovery of gold was in the Black Hills (thus the destruction of the Sioux) – and that was twenty years ago. Outside of small discoveries in Colorado and B.C., the nearest anyone had found unexploited gold recently was the Southern Cone and the Boer veldt. It seemed a reasonable assumption at the time that most of the gold which would be acquired by Americans in the voters’ lifetimes was already in the hands of the banks and financiers.
Oh, now that’s an article I’m grateful to read. A common contemporary take on both the Whigs and Free Silverism is that they were all weird and contingent, and that there’s no understanding them without an expert familiarity with their context.
I think I understand the enthusiasm of Free Silverism, but the argument behind it is just all over the place — an analogue, it sort of seemed, to the almost willfully boring, layer-upon-layer complexity of the right’s postwar conspiracy thinking. The Dan Smoot stuff, if you’re familiar. Impossible to follow, gigantically influential.
Thanks for the article! Would, actually, you have any idea where to get a good bibliography on the Know-Nothings?
I’m afraid not, although I’ve always been more or less content to pigeonhole them as regular nativists. To the extent they’re interesting at all it’s for what Cadre cites – an emphasis on internal improvement to the exclusion of engagement with the outside world. More commerce and less trade, a distinction which modern politics doesn’t really accept.
Outside of that, all I know is that they were at least in part a product of (a) the attempts by the first generation to establish a native aristocracy foundering, resulting in fairly weak and largely plutocratic qualifications for membership in polite society and (b) a relatively large amount of Irish immigration, which unlike prior Papist surges (Portuguese, mainly, but to some extent also Poles) roused the traditional contempt of Anglo protestants pretty fiercely.
There are probably good histories of the Know-Nothings out there, but my gut tells me there just isn’t that much to learn about them – kind of like most secret societies, they’re much more exciting-sounding than they actually are.
Or to be clearer just percentage7C. The Sadly RSS feed seems a little kooky now so no testy.
Anyway thanks once more Gavin and for the fine work apart from corralling unruly monkeys.
So why is Obama adding troops to Afghanistan even thoug he ran as the “anti-war” candidate? Seems like he is a fraud to me.
Didn’t he learn anything from what happened to the Soviets there?
Oh, and there’s also classism! Before the 1840s, immigrants were largely either wealthy or eager ideologues; lots of nationalists and republicans, not too many desperate poor laborers. In and after the 40s, however, the ideologues were much more Marxian and the wealth-seekers were much closer to the brink of starvation. Between the normal hate and fear of the mob by the wealthy few in a pre-Keynesian society and the quite reasonable fear jobbers had of workers whose primary motivation was food, a cottage industry in hate and fear of immigrants developed almost overnight. The one set of formative developments beyond that, I believe, would be the uprisings and agitation by Anglo settlers in Mexico and maybe possibly the Upper and Lower Canada Revolts and the Oregon question – things which pressed the idea of Anglophony as a useful prerequisite to Americanhood. (The loser in the first competitive race for President of Texas was a Hispanophone, and the US came close to using German as a second language officially early on – the single thing that probably wouldn’t have been predictable from 1790 that the Know-Nothings gave our modern nativists is the focus on the English language as a pseudo-racial token of identity.)
I tip my toque at Saint Jesus.
I am indeed saddened by these recent developments in Post-Land.
This unfortunate misinterpretation of what is meant to be a post-partisan, indeed, almost antinomian cartoon is clearly the kind of knee-jerk response one should expect from the crowing Obamaphiles (in that post-modern, soi disant sense so favored by so-called “élites”) [wiggles fingers worn out by making air-quotes].
The monkey in the cartoon is clearly meant to portray the Post’s very own John Podhoretz. Having known JPod in college, where his (lack of) table manners and gargantuan appetite had already marked him for a career as a cultural bellwether, not to mention his hirsute body, which I was unfirtunately exposed to in the communal Burton-Judson shower, the comparison is obvious to me.
This left-inspired trumpery is just the kind of aesthetically obtuse gloss that will cost the preening sluice-mongers of miscegenation dearly. The fact is, the new Republican Party, with it’s Hippity-Hoppin’, Jello-Puddin’ Pops, Palin-on-snow-machines Hard Chargin’ will leave y’all wonderin’ about the true Maverick-ness, you betcha!
The Post is willing to make fun of its most worthy intellectual light, and you libs can’t even see the ploy until it is pointed out!
The fact is, NoBama will fail, and the Steele and JPod will be Ice Ice Babay on y’all befo’ yo’ kin’s tell ol’ Bre’re Rabbit not to touch dat ol’ Tar Babay, Yassuh!
Peace, out… or, uh, standing athwart… em, as you were.
They actually seem to epitomize a certain paranoid, emotionally-driven Americanism that makes sense, at least to me, as part of a historical continuum that leads to the Goldwater movement. Not Barry Goldwater himself, or necessarily his people, but the assemblage that formed around them, incl. the Birchers, John Stormer, and a lot of names that are less familiar now.
I think they’re proto-wingnuts, basically, and that the secret-society aspects of it all were kind of comme il faut in those days of Masonry and Anti-Masonry. I mean, I suspect it’s not the hermeticism that’s the essential quality of their success.

Thanks! My pleasure, and it’s a pleasure that you’re here as well.
I’d argue it’s the main reason we remember them, though – outside of the immigration politics, I’ve never been given the impression they’re remarkably different from any other secret society, at most a little more Whig-flavored than most nativists. And their influence is dramatically overstated both by early political intermarriage with Republicans and the terrible rep secret societies left Reconstruction with. It’s the rough equivalent of an observer 200 years ago trying to determine the nature and influence of the Wingnut Party. Nine times out of ten, supposed cases of Know-Nothing continuity are just political slanders which have lost their meaning.
We are happy to have been had.
Greetings, my young parsons. Michael Steele is, as they say in the youthful Colored vulgarate, in the, let me see if I’ve got this written down… yes.

Can we have the poop jokes back? Where are the poop jokes?
Up your butt and around the shit moat.
I think there’s a difference in the way we’re measuring them. Instead of as a political party, the American Party and so forth, I’m trying to look at them in terms of the emotional pull the movement exerted on the really considerable number of Americans who took part in it.
In those terms, I guess you could say that all populism is basically the same, and that all secret societies operate along similar lines, but there’s something about the thrillseeking, anarchic quality of the Know-Nothings that. . .ok, you know how European fascism needed always to keep moving in order to remain viable, needed to privilege action and conflict in order to maintain a high emotional pitch. That’s the kind of restless, irrationalist (as opposed to ‘anti-intellectual’) quality I think I’m seeing. Or is that totally different from your impression?
Hours later, I return to see that two strikethroughs — which appeared functional in preview — are absent from from my published comment, thus rendering it nonsensical. Whatcha gotta do to make the strike stick around here?
“From from?” Dammit, good thing this one’s almost dead… not my day.
If this works it’s just “strike” and not the longer version.The face of the new Republican party.
It’s hard to discern the face for the low rent bling. I see the atrocious taste of the old Republican party still holds.
I suppose you’re right, although it’s worth stressing that the analogy works better than you noticed: fascist movements without strong and politically astute leadership tend to go any way congenial to their membership at the time. Thus the seemingly impossible task of reconciling the political careers of Fremont and Lincoln with their early KN association. Even the emphasis on ‘action’ wasn’t a universal trait.
And if you read Orcinus you know a lot more about American nativism than you could likely learn from studying the Know-Nothings – the second Klan is basically its ideological Adam, taking in all the issues nativists now adopt and promoting all the exegeses they now take for granted. To whatever extent the American Party has a lasting influence, it’s through those among their Southern members who, after the war, founded paramiltaries and left their mark on history in emigrant, immigrant, and freedman blood. The second Klan is where it all starts for us.
(And if you haven’t read Orcinus on the subject, here is where Google first tells me to start. It’s what he does, and he does it well.)

I actually sent Sara Robinson the dirty bomb story soon after it broke, and was surprised not to see it there. The SPLC picked it up that day or the next, and there it remains, give or take a few references and oblique posts.
Yeah, I certainly do follow Niewert. I don’t agree with his eliminationist focus a lot of the time, but things seem to be much more like that than they were, week by week.

I still don’t get why this is such a big deal.
It’s a fucking CARTOON, people!
In the 20th century, over three thousand people were killed in racially-motivated violence, more than half of the number of Americans killed by political violence. (That’s more than 9/11.)
And during Hurricane Katrina, the single most significant outbreak of violence took place as Ninth Ward residents were evacuated to high ground in Algiers Point, whose residents not only set up stockades in evident anticipation of some manner of invasion but threatened black locals and repeatedly shot non-locals for little to no reason. No police investigation took place, and the people responsible have been described as boasting of it, including one Chicagoan who thrilled at the idea of ‘earning’ his Southernness through lynching.
I understand in some circles worrying about black people being killed is irresponsibly radical, but this shit isn’t just history and it isn’t just abstract.
Sorry, a little under 3000 people. Still many more than 9/11.
So the NY Post has kind of apologized and how would you expect Malkin to react to that move?
Holy shit.
Funny that, nobody would know who Al Sharpton is in the first place if it weren’t for the NY Post.
The comments are usually at least as bad as what Malkin posts but this time they’re struggling a little bit to keep up because she bogarted all the best slurs that don’t start with the letter n. Ok, she did leave “calling a spade a spade” out there and surprisingly it took nearly an hour for someone to claim it.
What’s always gotten me is that they vacillate so fucking much. They can’t just come out and say something inhuman to people who have never done anything to them; they then have to not just titter like a gaggle of schoolboys learning their first swear, but shout in loud, preemptive defense about how they were really talking about plucking, huh-huh-huh.
It’s like all the fucking racist memes during the big dicklicking Palinathon last year. I mean, Jesus, if you’re going to be as crass as to borrow lame jokes from interbellum racists, you might as well just fucking own up to it instead of playing coy. And by God, if you’re going to play coy, don’t get all fucking excited about how bad-ass you are! Jesus!
For some reason, this makes me laugh hysterically every time I read it.
Go right ahead, Gary, if it makes you feel better to do so. But I don’t think you’ll be missed. The so-called “heartland” is mostly empty space. As is, what a coinkydink, conservatism itself.
Um, are you talking about this?
The Heartland is Alaska but not Hawaii; Utah but not Colorado; Arizona, but not New Mexico; Idaho, but not Nevada; Iowa but neither Dakota; South Carolina but not North; real Nebraska but not real Pennsylvania; West Virginia but not real Virginia; Indiana for a century but not last year;
Macedonia but not Bulgaria;Joe the Plumber but not Joe Six-Pack; Colin Powell but not Joe Lieberman; the Marines but not the Army; Alberta but not America.You know, chances are pretty good that 2010 is going to leave the Republicans weeping constantly. Their entire mythology is built around the Heartland loving them unconditionally, but the single defining characteristic of non-urban America is a relentless contempt for losers. And guess what they are these days?

Hey, Autistic!
You really do have your pseudofacts and rebuttals and wrong-headed opinions on this topic so very well-rehearsed and basically at your fingertips, one might conclude you have an emotional commitment to this particular aspect of society.
As if it, you know, was the single most important thing in your life. Like it was an irrational obsession along the lines of Rainman’s obsession with baseball statistics.
One wonders why, if someone is not an uberracist, why one would be so well-versed in this particular topic when it’s relevance to society at large is so meaningless…
Perhaps you were gang-raped by some scary black men? Is that it? Enquiring minds want to know!

Hey, don’t make it sound like I was being high-minded. I was calling you lazy, not offensive.
Here is how it will go down next week. First, the results from Virginia and North Carolina will come in, and they’ll be declared for McCain. You’ll be disappointed, but “no big deal, change can’t come overnight” will be your comment. Florida will go red, and a little nervousness will creep in. The usual suspects will fall into the usual categories. As the night drags on, Ohio, Colorado, and (much to your horror) Pennsylvania will be too close to call.
My advice at this point to you will be to go to bed. You will wake up to a McCain presidency and the Great Liberal Freakout will be on.
Bookmark this, liberals, as this is exactly how it is going to go down. You will be wonder how the hell I was able to call this.
Do you really think the FBI is in a conspiracy to make you look bad on Sadly,No! That they are making up their statistics just to show how blind you are to black racism?
Post the study, flyboy. I will bet it shows nothing even close to how you are characterizing it.
By the way, Autistic, I know the study you are referring to, and boy, are you going to eat crow in a big way when I get through with you. I just want to make sure you are clear in how you are going to hang yourself…
So it is racist to point out racist black people?
Nope.
But it is racist to fixate on it the way you have, pal.

See, it’s nice and all to be convinced that you’re mired in the middle of a racial holy war, but that doesn’t make trying to force a neighbor out of his home or shooting a series of men in the back because they’re holding beat-up hats and sneakers self-defense.
And a racist mob stringing blacks and Jews from trees at a minor affront – that is what ‘lynching’ fucking means, you fucking man-child – is obviously no more noteworthy than obviously pecuniary crimes committed by poor blacks and whites alike.
“Man bites dog”, right, because blacks just spend all day butchering any white who enters a fucking courthouse. Yeah, I’m sure that’s what comes to mind outta the Silent Majority.
an early thread win for FlipYrWhig
Yeah, that one jumped out at me too, and I daresay it deserves to be highlighted on the blog proper. Bonus points for using the name of a rap band that once threatened to assassinate McCain (great song, poor tribute to MLK).
First single: “911 is an Empty Slogan, an All-Purpose Excuse, and a Sick Fetish.”
Again, there was no evident risk of being assaulted or robbed. It wasn’t self-defense but murder; the closest any of them even came to being remotely lawful was someone being shot for coming out of a convenience store.
The militia dipshits in Algiers Point didn’t just shoot people for no evident reason; they actively attempted to use a natural disaster to ethnically cleanse their neighborhood.
And calling it ‘self-defense’ is a disservice to the predominantly white neighborhoods that didn’t decide to try and respond to refugees with murder. There were people who tried to take advantage of the situation – looters, profiteers, and the operatives from the Republican Party down who thought, as you do, of the black population of New Orleans as subhuman. But by and large people pulled together.
I mean, sure, you could argue that Bernie Goetz getting mugged justified a few hyped-up bigots shooting anyone with the wrong color of skin and leaving them to die in the middle of a fucking hurricane, but that’s your problem, not ours.
Bernie Goetz opened fire in a narrow, enclosed subway car full of innocent bystanders.
