He may be a dick, but I love “Cat Scratch Fever.”

I got off the boat to see if Mr. Jimguy was actually saying that Liberals care about taking some West Texas bunghole from the wingers that deserve everything they get. Yes he was, and yes, he used that assumption to waggle his own PENIS in everyone’s face.

Texas’ 19th may be safe from grasping liberal hands, Mr. Geraghty, but don’t assume we give a shit. Instead, we’ll focus on watching you guys bring about your self-destruction by fighting to repeal the Sick Kids Get Health Care Act of 2010.

With enemies like this the health care act is immediately a new Third Rail.

“ILLEGALS! ILLEGALS! ILLEGALS!”

They can’t possibly be so poor at math that they’ve yet to figure out that, at best, they’ll have 50 Senate seats after November…can they?

On the other hand, if they’re going to start applying the same Underpants Gnomes model to electioneering as they have to governing, that can only be good news.

A baby born with a treatable disease is just like a government worker trying to fake a ‘cough’ when calling in sick.

We all know this.

Well, this really gets down to the fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals, doesn’t it? When it’s time to party, conservatives head off to Galt’s Gulch for the free-market celebratory rapes. Liberals head off to gentrified Brooklyn to get government subsidized partial birth abortions.

they’ve yet to figure out that, at best, they’ll have 50 Senate seats after November…can they?

Any results other than them not winning anything anywhere will be a VICTORY!!

That is the way of Hyperbolitics.

Once a not-yet-baby has been saved from the GayLiberalFascist speculum by Erick the Bloody it just becomes a lay-about sponge on the system:

I bitterly resent the excessive amount of money taken from me and my family that ends up funding the lifestyles of social parasites.

Note the bitter.

It was lucky for CNN they managed to snatch up Erickson and get him under contract before ABC had a chance to offer him the spot hosting This Week.

He’d have been a sure bet over Amanpour for several reasons: his penetrating insight, his rational and even-handed approach to relations with Israel, and let’s face it, eyecandy for the ladies.

I bitterly resent the excessive amount of money taken from me and my family that ends up funding the lifestyles of social parasites

This is the kind of fucker who squeals like a stuck pig if FEMA doesn’t show up with clean drinking water the morning after a Tornado.

He’s right, let’s not waste our money, let’s just throw bricks through Wilson’s & Neugebauer’s office windows. That’ll show ’em!

Your “circle” may extend to sea lampreys, but you have no right, and neither does our government to tell me what my circle is, and I bitterly resent the excessive amount of money taken from me and my family that ends up funding the lifestyles of social parasites.

I bitterly resent that you didn’t include the part of the quote about the sea lampreys.

Oh .. and thanks be the Hoary and Whory Gods for Retardo Montalban’s … errr … HTML’s return to the SN! pages. It is much appreciated in these quadrants, as they say.

This is a good thread.

They’re not even trying to hide their greed and selfishness. I guess it’s a feature, not a bug.

Lovely animals. Beautiful plumage.

My bud from the hometown in Massachusetts, who is a public school teacher and sports coach, and has a town-paid-for health care plan as good as any member of Congress, likens this bill to “government enslavement,” citing to Samuel Adams.

“That’s MY sparrow!”

In other news: Bozell rages against “gay sense of humor”. Here’s hoping Sadly No will make someone available for comment…

Judging from Ewick’s post (have not gotten the mangos personally – willing to Trust The Shorter) I guess Noogleboolge is taking the “Joe Wilson” tack to electioning – yell something stupid at a Democrat, wait for the backlash, and then go all “I’m the victim here please send me your money”.

I don’t know which is more pitiful – that the Republicans have descended to the level of schock jocks to boost their popularity, or that idiots like Ewick have decided that being a vulgar boor on the floor of Congress deserves their monetary support.

So – who’s going to reduce himself to pulling out his wee-wee and pissing on the Speaker’s podium? Any bets?

Totally trusting the shorter this time, despite those tempting mangoes. I can see they are plastic from here.

OK, so we’re all about the rhetoric now? Good. It makes me feel a little better about this.

On the other hand, if they’re going to start applying the same Underpants Gnomes model to electioneering as they have to governing, that can only be good news.

Is it me, or have they become drastically more ignorant?

Fixed!

Either that’s egg on Irksome’s face or Drudge needs penicillin.

I so totally approve of Neugebauer’s “babykiller” blarg blarg, and so totally resent liberal babykillers who object to it, that I sent him some money and you should, too.

At least he’s not asking people to mail dead babies they bought through the RedState Amazon store.

so, erickson and his friends are willing to pay to fight for the unborn babies, but not if they end up with an illness or something down the road?

totally makes sense…wish i would have stayed in the boat tho…

Bush wipes Haitian cooties on Clinton’s shirt. Classy.

Like Pacific salmon, sea lampreys die after spawning, so it’s actually politically correct to throw their rotting carcasses around. No souls are harmed.

—–
cf. The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is native to the rivers of the Atlantic seaboard and should not be confused with the same species introduced by people into the Great Lakes early this century, where it was never native and since has caused much problem there. This is a hard concept for wingnuts to get a handle on even if you repeat it to them over and over for 50 years.

so, erickson and his friends are willing to pay to fight for the unborn babies, but not if they end up with an illness or something down the road?

Apparently they’re not even willing to pony up for the health care for the women carrying the precious fetuses. Fuck prenatal care I guess.

Bush wipes Haitian cooties on Clinton’s shirt.

Well, he wiped his @$$ with the Constitution so this is no surprise.

I saw that. I’m inclined to be charitable and say that it’s not what it looks like, especially since I stopped watching the video after about 6 seconds because his smug face and vacant eyes make me want to punch something.

When I was a kid, a friend had a boa constrictor named Julius Squeezer. You haven’t lived until you’ve had a boa wrapped around your neck and with its head directly in front of yours so you can stare at its tongue.

No, but I thought they were cute too. I did have a snake which was very huggy.

I have a crustacean phobia, and I find snakelike things that live in the water to be very, very creepy. But snakes are cool.

Yesterday my psychic vampire Benedict Arnold died left-handedly. I don’t know how he got stuck in that neurotic glass case. He was egotistical and cannibalistic.

Bryan was a cool kid. It’s strange: we were inseparable friends for years and I haven’t seen him in close to thirty years. Common last name, so google would be of no use.

I had a ground boa named Enke. Pale, sandy brown and opalescent, really gorgeous, but my landlord “accidentally” killed it while it was still practically a baby so I never had any borderline creepy experiences.

“And those lamprey are so damn cute!

They’re like tribal tattoos only alive.”

That right there is fucking peotry.

PS I miss working italics.

Good to see the Republicans continuing their proud, Christian tradition of caring deeply for every child until the day of its birth.

Or Enki. After the god.

While we’re on the subject, did you know there’s a type of African worm that wriggles into the uteri of pregnant women and spawns, and its thousand-strong brood spends the next few months feasting on the fetus, the afflicted mother unaware of the infestation until birth reveals the… well, anyway.

I thought there had to be some sort of scientific explanation for teabaggers!

did you know there’s a type of African worm that wriggles into the uteri of pregnant women and spawns

No, but I know of a fish on the Zamebzi river that follows a trail of urine right up into your penis and bladder, then extends its dorsal fin, stabbing your urinary tract so that it wedges itself in there permanently.

No, but I know of a fish on the Zamebzi river that follows a trail of urine right up into your penis and bladder, then extends its dorsal fin, stabbing your urinary tract so that it wedges itself in there permanently.

Well, now, that’s just not very polite.

Neither was being told about the partial birth abortion fish.

I would make the inevitable joke about wingnuts, but that’s presupposing they could find a woman’s uterus in the first place.

And to fix for truthiness:

“Courage and Consequence: My Total Lack Of Either”

OR

“Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Douchenozzle on the Right”

This is why the Buntu people sit cross-legged.

No, I mean your post was very polite, but that fish’s behavior is simply not.
I mean, if a fish is going to sail up my stream of urine and then impale itself on my penis, I would hope it would at least inquire if it could have my permission.

I knew about the penis fish. I’m sorry, but that still doesn’t make up for the worm baby. Is that actually real? No. Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. It was in a bad rip-off of The Fly. Yeah.

I would hope it would at least inquire if it could have my permission.

You know, now I kind of feel for the teabaggers. Wait. Nope, I don’t.

For more on candiru, xiucutls, giant aquatic centipedes and the dreaded bang-utot, see William S. Burroughs. I don’t believe he has a newsletter, unfortunately.

To borrow from the Beastie Boys

The Biz Vs. The Neuge

What makes me so, so sad is I made up the uterus worms (the screwworm is just as bad), but there really is such a PENIS fish. Between that and Cymothoa exigua, the tongue-replacing nightmare scream scream isopod, and maybe filarial worms…

I have to go scrub myself with acetone. It’s like shaking hands with Karl Rove.

I’m glad you folks liked the lamprey photos. For many years I lived in a 4 decker in Augusta, Maine with a little brook, Bond Brook, just behind the parking lot. It is a typical New England urban stream, full of car batteries, old water heaters, tv sets, cast iron radiators and a seemingly endless supply of old tires. I pulled them all out. In some years Atlantic salmon would spawn in the brook in the fall and lamprey would spawn in the spring. I got the city to help some of us volunteers spruce up the brook and keep it clean and got a grant to put up a nice sign. What was now a city dump is now a city park and the city keeps it nice and clean. A small victory but still a victory.

Truculent, the REAL fetus worm is ABORTION!!!!

Cymothoa exigua

If only there was someway to implant these in the microphones at Fox News and Rush Limbaugh’s studio…

What makes me so, so sad is I made up the uterus worms

Oh, thank you baby Jesus. I already knew about the other shit.

the dreaded bang-utot

Speaking of bang-utot, I see Mark Foley has a new job.

I know of a fish on the Zamebzi river…

Candiru is an Amazon fish… it’s the crocodiles that you gotta be careful about on the Zambezi, and sharks as well. And hippos.

What makes me so, so sad is I made up the uterus worms

Really? Cuz I could have sworn you meant uterine pinworms…

Candiru is an Amazon fish

By gum, he’s right! So piranha eat you from the outside in and candiru make you WANT to be devoured by piranha!

CANDIRU!

And it lives in the Amazon River.

Hmm, those teabaggers must be feeling pretty low… maybe we should charter them a flight to Brazil so they can go swimming…

Ted,

It’s not the sharks in the Zambezi that would worry me, but the crocs on the Great Barrier Reef. But there’s much much worse on the GBR.

It’s not enough you gotta keep your eyes out for great whites or bullsharks, sea snakes or even blue ringed octopus or box jellies.

It’s the fucking irukandji, so small you’d never see them coming, yet even one stinger sac off one tentacle brushing against any bare flesh on your body is enough to hospitalize you for months.

If you’re lucky.

That is the way of Hyperbolitics.

And don’t the pitombas and abiu look delicious!

The worst thing about Cymothoa is when they give you a picture of it hanging out in a fish’s mouth, looking out like “Hello! Whee! I’m eating this guy’s mucus!”

Too bad they don’t infest humans, though. The teabaggers really could use some red snapper to feast on while they’re down there in Brazil near the Rio Negro.

Bill Clinton’s Spun Curd Cheeses Sherbet

All you do is get aquatic hydra and put baking soda and maple syrup on top of it before sherbetting it. That – putting those seasonings on top – is the secret. Butter the meat, then put it on top of some wizened elder watcher toe. Put easygoing spun curd cheeses (at all grocery stores, make sure to get this spun curd cheeses too) over top of it. Put it in the microwave for 150 seconds. You can add to it whatever you want. Some people put a layer of cherry on it and just eat it like that. I chop up olive, swelter’d venom and feta and put them on top, as well as kissing gourami carapace. WARNING: You will never be able to order aquatic hydra at a restaurant or bar ever again, as they simply won’t measure up to the ones you can make at home.

Politics and morality “go together as naturally as a hot dog and a bun,” Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York told Catholics gathered at the capital last week to lobby officials on issues of concern to Catholics.

I’ll pass the thread now.

Politics and morality “go together as naturally as a hot dog and a bun,”

But which one’s which?

Let the Candiru try to swim up this. PENIS!

I bitterly resent the excessive amount of money taken from me and my family that ends up funding the lifestyles of social parasites.

The Bad: Adding 30 million uninsured to the system will overwhelm medical facilities and surely drive up premiums for the “healthy” people who already head health insurance.

The Good: Actually, many of the uninsured are young and healthy. Also, you were paying much more for emergency room care than you would for regular preventative care, with the added bonus that people with health care have an easier time finding and keeping a job.

The Ugly: “I don’t want social parasites in my insurance pool” actually means “I don’t want n*ggers swimming in my pool”

But which one’s which?

It’s a rather poor choice of words…

I’ve not yet heard any of these idiots so concerned about baby killers, offering to take my uterus out of my baby-killing body.

Please you assholes, you can have it, any day, come and get it and stick it up your woman-killing ass.

I bitterly resent the excessive amount of money taken from me and my family that ends up funding the lifestyles of social parasites.

Me too! Xe/Blackwater, Halliburton, Shell, Exxon/Mobil, Conoco-Phillips, AIG, BofA, CitiGroup…

Shall I continue?

The Bad: Adding 30 million uninsured to the system will overwhelm medical facilities and surely drive up premiums for the “healthy” people who already head health insurance.

It is, perhaps unfortunate that this particular silly notion hasn’t received a proper debunking. Studies show that the currently uninsured recieve about 2/3 the amount of health care as insured people*.

*look it up for yourself you lazy fucks

I know, a teabagger. But I’d like to extend an extra special thanks to the media for framing this terrorism as fucking citizen resistance. It’s not. It’s a fucking violent temper tantrum by people who want to turn back the clock to the 18th fucking century.

HIS BROTHER? Holy SHIT. What kind of fucking retarded piece of human fucking garbage doesn’t see this as Bin Laden style terrorism?

Well, in the teabagger terrorist’s defense, the brother’s address was mistakenly posted as the representatives. So he was probably just trying to kill Perriello, not his family. /sarc

Apparently the moran that called for this act of retribution stupidity published the brother’s address instead of the intended target.

I’ve been saying – the media is being just as acceptable of these fucks as they were of the “patriot militias”, even after OKC.

Only they don’t need to bring them on for an hour of Nightline to let them air their grievances on national TV this time around, because they have entire fucking daily programs devoted to it now.

I don’t mind getting off the boat to read, but I absolutely refuse to watch and listen to these jerkoffs in real time.

Kathleen Parker, who had been showing some signs of sanity lately, had a column today getting on board with the meme of Stupak-as-baby-killer, or as-wussy-guy-who-refused-to-fight-in-Braveheart, or something. I hope they keep pushing this one. It’s so perfect: fanaticism untethered to facts, utter indifference to the already born…basically everything you want in a fucktard meme.

Yes, I saw this on Maddow last night. It’s scary how well she hides her terrorist leanings under that cutsie church lady exterior. More scary still, (if not redundant) is the MSM’s creepy love affair with her. She is the Paris Hilton of politics, with a free pass to run her twunt mouth with impunity from any meaningful criticism.

“Do you mean I posted his brother’s address on my Facebook? Oh well, collateral damage.”

And when somebody DIES, they’ll jump up and down to deny their complicity in it and yell about freedom of speech.

They are already backpedaling.

The do have their freedom of speech. We’re supposed to be relying on the media to present actual facts–you know, facts that true and junk, to refute their schizophrenic rantings. Instead we get half sympathetic regurgitation of these rantings, with titillating headlines: “Will Obamacare cause humanity to go extinct?”

There’s nothing else we can do at this point, except what is in our control. That is try to educate those we know as best we can and wait until the loons figure out that this is NOT socialized medicine, and will not kill grandma.

…the far left can’t gain respect in the country, because that movement is dominated by hateful people.

Dude, I keep saying this: they are like abusive partners. No matter what happens, it will ALWAYS be our fault.

Well, in the teabagger terrorist’s defense, the brother’s address was mistakenly posted as the representatives.

Oh.

Well. That’s OK, in that case.

They will be so offended that someone could ever accuse them of inciting murder that they just have to point out that their critics are subhuman vermin who threaten the very foundation of Heaven and it would be a real shame if something happened to them.

This reminds me of my favorite Pablo Escobar story. After he turned himself into the government to kick back in his own private jail-villa, he was still hounded by many government and media figures who were still a tad bit upset that he was running the largest drug cartel in the world. So periodically, to prove how hard he was trying to be a good citizen, he would turn over a truckload of loose explosives that his organization had found. He would turn it over by parking it in front of one of his enemies homes or a police station or radio station that was being especially critical of him, and letting the authorities know they should really come pick it up before anything bad happened. His newspapers would then hail the act of good man trying to reduce the number of bombs going off in the country.

This is fucking rich: (From T&U’s link)

Coleman told The Daily Progress today that he is “shocked” and “almost speechless” at the possibility that someone would sever the propane line to Perriello’s brother’s house.

“I’m SO shocked someone would attempt to murder a Congressman” Rrrrrriiiiight. I’ll bet you’re so shocked, Coleman.

Miss him yet?

During their first joint visit to Haiti this week, George W. Bush appears to have wiped his hand on Bill Clinton’s shirt after shaking hands with a crowd of Haitians.

All Klass.

The do have their freedom of speech.

They do, but they’re inciting violence. Period. They may not be doing it explicitly, but they are doing it. I think it’s reasonable for the government to step in and say, “Uh, no. You can’t make veiled assassination threats on national television.”

If these people were left-wingers or Muslims, they would have been arrested a long time ago.

No matter what happens, it will ALWAYS be our fault.

It is amazing that in a few sentences OReally can describe teapartiers yelling racist and homophobic epithets then say that it’s the left hates.

In HTML’s previous post, a commenter mentioned the cognitive dissonance of the right. Unfortunately, I don’t think they have the uncomfortable feeling that goes with that dissonance. This is just the way their minds work: “Me? Nooooo, it’s YOU!”

No matter what happens, it will ALWAYS be our fault.

Mary anne and wanda were the best of friends
All through their high school days
Both members of the 4h club
Both active in the ffa
After graduation mary anne went out lookin’
For a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
And all she found was earl

Well it wasn’t two weeks
After she got married that
Wanda started gettin’ abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make-up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care

Right away mary anne flew in from atalnta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held wanda’s hand as they
Worked out a plan
And it didn’t take long to decided

That earl had to die
Goodbye earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me earl
You’re feeling weak
Why don’t you lay down
And sleep earl
Ain’t it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp earl

The cops came to bring earl in
They searched the house
High and low
Then they tipped their hats
And said ’thank you ladies
If you hear from him let us know’

Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to summer
And summer faded into fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
Who nobody missed al all

So the girls bouth some land
And a roadside stand
Out on highway 109
They sell tennessee ham
And strawberry jame
And they don’t
Lose any sleep at night ’cause

Earl had to die
Goodbye earl
We need a break
Let’s go out to the lake earl
We’ll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk earl
Well is that all right
Good let’s go for a ride
Earl hey

(ed note: This should not be construed as advocating violence against anyone who claims it’s all the liberals’ fault. No sirreee! That would be violating the liberal code to, say, pick up a gun and aim it at a right wing nut and accidentally pull the trigger enough time to empty a clip)

Someone on Etsy must be selling plushy Cthulhus, right?

I actually own one of those, given to me by a friend. No idea where he got it.

I bought one myself. Saw it hanging on the shelf in a bookstore. There was no question of “should I?” I used to have it hanging from my rear-view mirror. How d’ya like my copilot, motherfucker?

And when somebody DIES, they’ll jump up and down to deny their complicity in it and yell about freedom of speech.

And blame the victim for _making the assailant do that_ and STFU that’s why.

It is amazing that in a few sentences OReally can describe teapartiers yelling racist and homophobic epithets then say that it’s the left hates.

I’ve also seen a lot of hand-waving about how “both sides” say “vulgar things,” including “calling us teabaggers.” As if using two of the most vile slurs in the fucking English language is the equivalent of tittering about a stupid fucking name that you evil fucktards FUCKING GAVE YOURSELVES. JESUS H. FUCKING CHRIST ON A FUCKING POGOSTICK.

This is what’s known as “country justice.” Red-staters are, most likely, familiar with it.

Well, it IS good for the environment to keep your possessions clean, to be sure. It likely lowers the levels of toxic gases and dust in the air. And I suppose, firing it off every once or twice might keep lead contamination to a minimum.

Me, I prefer a knife that someone happens to fall against a half dozen times or so.

I’m thinking “hunting accident.” Then again, that would mean you would have to go hunting with a wingnut, which sounds thoroughly unpleasant.

This is getting a bit to unveiled for me…

I have a little list…
They’ll none of them be missed…

Here’s a huge surprise. Troxel is a grad of Liberty University.

No hate like liberal hate, eh?

Esteev, you’re right. After all, we wouldn’t want someone to stumble into this thread (like it was a kitchen knife) and find themselves thinking we are a violent hateful group of people.

After all, liberals get sent to prison for that, while conservatives get talk shows on CNN.

Then again, that would mean you would have to go hunting with a wingnut, which sounds thoroughly unpleasant.

Only for a little while.

“Do you mean I posted his brother’s address on my Facebook? Oh well, collateral damage.”

Holy fuck. The party of personal responsibility and moral absolutism smirks and shrugs.

This is getting a bit to unveiled for me…

I see your point, but then look at the other side of the argument. These are TERRORISTS. That statement is irrefutable. It’s not entirely insane to feel that one must defend his/her country from terrorists. The difference is that the sane ones don’t advocate indiscriminate killing of anyone who disagrees.

I can say with all certainty and sincerety that if I just happened to catch one of these fuckers committing this kind of act (as if) and just happened to have my gun with me (which never happens), I would kill him to protect his intended victim. This is, of course, just rhetorical since I don’t actually carry my guns around with me and the chances of me catching a teabagger committing terrorism are essentially nil. But the sentiment is real, and justified, I think.

Holy fuck. The party of personal responsibility and moral absolutism smirks and shrugs.

They learned it from the master.

The difference is that the sane ones don’t advocate indiscriminate…

Fixt fer clarity.

But the sentiment is real, and justified, I think.

Guns don’t kill people, Right Wing Rhetoric kills people.

If the feds started treating domestic terrorism as actual terrorism, and started throwing a few teabag fucktards in the hoosegow, things would start to simmer some. Some of the freaks would get more agitated, but most would say to themselves “Hey, I signed on so I could yell about brown people, not so I could eventually catch a bullet to the head out behind the chemical sheds.”

Hmmm… Unless the Teatards can be absorbed into the Borg the virus may wind up killing the host. November may be VERY interesting.

OMFG, I need to shutup–clarity–HAH

The difference is that our side does not advocate indiscriminate killing–or “colateral damage” as Mr. Coleman likes to say.

tsam, I know what you’re saying. I agree with self preservation. But, I’m not a fan of violence at all. Granted, as my old man used to say, “Ssometimes even those who can see only understand braille.”

Hmmm… Unless the Teatards can be absorbed into the Borg the virus may wind up killing the host.

Do you think the Republican party bosses realize that they’re the ones who created this monster?

“Then again, that would mean you would have to go hunting with a wingnut, which sounds thoroughly unpleasant.”

Not to mention dangerous.

“Do you think the Republican party bosses realize that they’re the ones who created this monster?”

No. SASQ.

Marion, I came to that conclusion a few days ago. It seemed to me that, when a strident group loses its signature battle, suddenly it’s on the road to irrelevance.

This was the beauty of the Republican strategy of hitching to the Teabagger star: by making this an all or nothing proposition, instead of engaging Obama and the Dems and THEN complaining about the final bill, they ran the risk of losing the fight and any chance of stealing one or both houses of Congress.

Straight up or down, no one likes a loser, and the Teabaggers have proven themselves losers.

Marion, I came to that conclusion a few days ago. It seemed to me that, when a strident group loses its signature battle, suddenly it’s on the road to irrelevance.

I would agree with this more emphatically if I believed that TeaBaggers have a “signature battle.” I think they just want to scream and yell and be misogynist, racist, homophobic assholes. Any “battle” is just an excuse to let the desired behavior out. I hope I am very, very wrong here.

Actor, I really do worry that these folks will not go gently into that sweet night. Down here in Dixie I sorta find myself looking over my shoulder more often…

then there’s Sarah Palin’s latest encouragement for Teabaggers to “reload” and target (with actual graphic crosshairs on a map) Democrats running for re-election.

Dur. I knew somebody mentioned this already. Sorry.

This was the beauty of the Republican strategy of hitching to the Teabagger star: by making this an all or nothing proposition, instead of engaging Obama and the Dems and THEN complaining about the final bill, they ran the risk of losing the fight and any chance of stealing one or both houses of Congress

Wow–that was quite a gamble. Seems like there should have been at least one Republican intelligent enough to see that the Tea Party is not a viable political group, but a landmine.

From Marion’s link:

Republicans lead the generic ballot test by a 44%-39% margin over Democrats. However, when a generic Tea Party candidate is thrown in the mix, the Democrat receives 36% and the Republican 25%, with the Tea Partier taking 15%.

That 44%-39% also assumes some current or recently obsolete definition of “Republican” and “Democrat”. To the extent that Republicans absorb the Tea Party, they risk drifting toward that 15% while shedding moderate votes to the Democrats.

What do y’all think their reaction would be if they did, in fact, create a series of NY23 results nationwide? They won’t have ACORN to howl about, but all they know is screaming, threatening, and violence.

You know, just because a bunch of wingnuts are hollering about civil war doesn’t justify eliminationist rhetoric like a few people are using in this thread. Shameful. Just because someone’s a right-wing asshole doesn’t revoke their basic dignity due to a human being, and one of those dignities we afford human beings is not to joke about killing them.

However, I think that openly calling for armed insurrection like some of these teabaggers are should be taken seriously by law enforcement.

The difference is that our side does not advocate indiscriminate killing–or “colateral damage” as Mr. Coleman likes to say.

Their side also advocated torture for terrorists, while ours has always favored the rule of law. Though emotions run high, we still do.

“Please Give To These Hopeless Candidates”

Dear Goopers:

Seeing as you just let your voting-base down big-time, your public image is steadliy swirling down the boghole, & you just don’t have the war-chest to win a money-fight, that sort of dare takes a hell of a lot of guts.

You’re losers, & Americans don’t like losers – they like winners. The polls aren’t exactly Galluping your way right now either – & this is BEFORE a lot of the tangible benefits of the HCR bill become manifest … let’s face it: you had damn good reason for wanting to kill it – politically, it’s a real baseball-bat to the kneecaps, & due to the epic fail of your “Waterloo” strategy, it’s now passing into law at almost exactly the wrong time.

Between vowing to run on repealing the first real reform your broken healthcare system has seen in a generation (an ideology-driven brainfart that’s even more guaranteed to bomb than “a rising tide lifts all boats” or “the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators”) & zealously defending those oh-so-popular stockbrokers & Big Banks against the spectre of even ultra-wimpy financial reform, you’re right on course to yank defeat from the jaws of victory by the fall.

In other words, I like the cut of your jib. Please, do carry on.

REAGAN AKBAR!

They won’t have ACORN to howl about, but all they know is screaming, threatening, and violence.

The Teabagger Party is just an angry mob with a name.

so, erickson and his friends are willing to pay to fight for the unborn babies, but not if they end up with an illness or something down the road?

hey having signs on the side of road costs nothing- tell them that you are inacting a sales tax to save the unborn and it will be ‘freeloading fetus this, and lazy zygote that’

Just because someone’s a right-wing asshole doesn’t revoke their basic dignity due to a human being, and one of those dignities we afford human beings is not to joke about killing them.

Can I still joke about rivers of bowling balls?

Please?

Just because someone’s a right-wing asshole doesn’t revoke their basic dignity due to a human being, and one of those dignities we afford human beings is not to joke about killing them.

Killjoy.

Just kidding. You’re right.

Actor, I really do worry that these folks will not go gently into that sweet night.

The more violent they get, the faster they will lose relevance. True, for the very near term, it’s a dangerous crowd, but like the militias of the 90s, they’ve shot their wad and will more likely crawl back under a rock soon.

You people with your gun and knife accidents. Just buy a couple wetsuits and the odd ‘marital aid’ or two and leave them lying around the loudmouth of choice and let nature take its course. And of course invest in hidden webcams for the nearest cheap motel for endless lulz.

The more violent they get, the faster they will lose relevance. True, for the very near term, it’s a dangerous crowd, but like the militias of the 90s, they’ve shot their wad and will more likely crawl back under a rock soon.

I think you’re right about this, but I am very, very, VERY worried about their reactions to immigration reform and hate crimes against Latinos.

I think they just want to scream and yell and be misogynist

Let them.

Had they won the healthcare battle, they would have been a force to reckon with. Now, they’re just a bunch of whiny losers. Yes, they’ll scream and yell until their throats bleed, but no one will listen.

The media has written them off already because they proved ineffectual, and the media does not like covering stories about ineffectual people (else poverty would have been eliminated decades ago). They want people who can create a dramatic narrative.

I think in about a year or so, we’ll start seeing stories about the rise of the Teabagger movement, but it will go away.

Their side also advocated torture for terrorists, while ours has always favored the rule of law. Though emotions run high, we still do.

That is true. I can honestly say that I want domestic terrorism to be treated in the same way that I want all terrorism to be dealt with. I don’t want them to be subjected to extralegal violence, to be held without charges, or to be tortured during interrogation. I want them to be prevented from harming other, but not elevated above the level of common criminal.

Seems like there should have been at least one Republican intelligent enough to see that the Tea Party is not a viable political group, but a landmine.

Look what happened to Olympia Snowe last year. Even if they did see the inherent risk, they couldn’t afford to piss off a bunch of armed insurrectionists.

but like the militias of the 90s, they’ve shot their wad and will more likely crawl back under a rock soon.

That one included the largest domestic terror attack to date.

Oh, and Sarah Palin also sez: “Don’t retreat. RELOAD.”

That isn’t veiled. That is insurrection. Imagine if some left leaning senator/congressmen was saying these things during 2000-2008?!

What do y’all think their reaction would be if they did, in fact, create a series of NY23 results nationwide?

Bring it on. Watch what happens when the Republican realize they’re losing because of these assholes, and these assholes can’t muster enough votes on their own to win.

They won Ted Kennedy’s seat because Martha Coakley made the rookie mistake of thinking it was hers to lose. They won the Virginia and New Jersey governor races because the Democrats in office were dumb and deserved to lose.

This year, if the Teabaggers are still around, the Republicans will start to understand what it means to unravel.

the media does not like covering stories about ineffectual people (else poverty would have been eliminated decades ago).

Well put, Actor. Couldn’t agree more. The media is a waste.

I want them to be prevented from harming other, but not elevated above the level of common criminal.

QFT.

You know, just because a bunch of wingnuts are hollering about civil war doesn’t justify eliminationist rhetoric like a few people are using in this thread.

You DO realize this is a comedy blog, don’t you?

The more violent they get, the faster they will lose relevance. True, for the very near term, it’s a dangerous crowd, but like the militias of the 90s, they’ve shot their wad and will more likely crawl back under a rock soon.

Mebbe. Mobs tend to disband when a bit a pressure is exerted on them. But I think the anger they misdirect at Libruls and HRC and the IRS or whatever is real, and persistent.

As they trumpet their support for the wealthy, powerful interests (that so effectively manipulate them) they fail to see how badly they are getting reamed by these very same interests. In the end, they remain more financially precarious, further from their vision of the American Dream, and frightened and pissed off all the same.

The issues will change. Their anger (and the fear behind it) persists.

That being said, I don’t fear the Teabaggers or any actual mobs moving through my town (or yours, for that matter). I just hate how they seem to be able to drag the marketplace of ideas so far from reasonable, realistic assessments of what ails us as a society.

/humorless dildo

their reactions to immigration reform and hate crimes against Latinos

Yea, I don’t mean to come off flip about the short term. It is a dangerous time as they claw and scratch to remain relevant, but history shows us that their place is in the dustbin.

Getting them in there is the dangerous bit.

Just because someone’s a right-wing asshole doesn’t revoke their basic dignity due to a human being,

Perhaps not. Just being a RWAH certainly doesn’t. We are, here in America, allowed our freedom to believe whatever we’d like, hopefully without fear of any horrible retribution.

Being a RWAH that goes about fomenting and enabling terrorist acts, on the other hand, is pretty well dumping whatever dignity they may have been due straight into the shitter. Fuck ’em. Their actions, not their ideology, are what is dehumanize them.

Durrr. “what is dehumanize them.”

They’re going to let me eat with a fork soon.

There is actually a recent precedent in American politics for the Teabaggers: the George Wallace faction.

They were perhaps the most powerful independent political force in the 20th century, even more influential than Ross Perot’s gang of idiots.

They were, of course, eventually absorbed into the Republican party, but since they’re already there now (basically the same people: angry white Southerners and Westerners), where could they go? They have no power on their own, so they will quietly fold up their tents and what’s left of them will return to the GOP.

Sen, Grassley, he of “HCR would kill grandma” fame:

In 2009, he drafted legislative reforms and succeeded in persuading the Democratic majority to include several of the reforms in the new health care law.

Shorter GOP: By calling this bill the worst thing ever to happen to America, we actually improved it!

I would argue that they abandoned their basic human dignity all on their own. Carrying a “Get a brain, morans” sign will do that to you. And joking about killing humans is probably as old as language.

Plus they do want to kill us. They just want a good cover story, and a promise of amnesty, and (most of all) no risk to themselves.

I wouldn’t worry much. Liberals almost never kill anyone. It is one of our sweet charms. We do have better senses of humor though.

Their actions, not their ideology, are what is dehumanize them.

People who dehumanize do it because they themselves feel dehumanized.

I for one do not want to disabuse them of this notion.

They’re going to let me eat with a fork soon.

We’ll let you have a spork first, and see how you do with that, ‘K?

Can I have a giant tapeworm, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez?

Oh great. D-I-Y redneck frontal lobotomies.

Oh great. D-I-Y redneck frontal lobotomies.

Think of the mullet as pre-surgery hair removal.

Law enforcement probably won’t do shit about teabagger violence. They haven’t done shit about people carrying rifles at rallies where Obama was speaking, the assclown who Twitted about assassination still has his account, and only when it gets to a McVeigh/Rudolph level of violence does it get any kind of attention from the feds. Otherwise it’s all “heh heh just overexcited boys, no worries”.

I know, and we all know very well, what would have happened to any Congressperson who pulled this kind of calling-for-insurrection shit back in post-9/11. I also remember the goddamn militias had at least three people in Congress on their side, sitting as fucking representatives of the people in the very government they so feared.

Joking about cleaning a gun in the direction of teabaggers is in no way equivalent to the kind of hateful eliminationist and insurrectional rhetoric they’ve been fucking BATHING in for over a decade now. And when the police take the teabaggers AT LEAST as seriously as they took the Weathermen or the Panthers I’ll change my mind.

Otherwise I have to conclude right wing terrorism is perfectly fucking fine with the American people, and I’m not going to feel ashamed about commenting about defending myself.

Otherwise I have to conclude right wing terrorism is perfectly fucking fine with the American people, and I’m not going to feel ashamed about commenting about defending myself.

Well said, Pere. I can’t figure out why law enforcement keeps “investigating” and there are no arrests. Sounds like they’re crossing their fingers and really really hoping really hard that something bad doesn’t happen. Very effective law enforcement technique.

And when the police take the teabaggers AT LEAST as seriously as they took the Weathermen or the Panthers I’ll change my mind.

I don’t know that it’s fair to claim they haven’t since the Teabaggers haven’t reached that level of destruction, not even the Panther level (if there ever really was any beyond their confrontations with the cops) much less the Weather Underground.

Eric Rudolph’s case seems to indicate that, when the shit hits the fan, the police and law enforcement will get off their asses and do what’s right.

I’d just like them to start doing it before it gets to that level.

When do you think the cops will drop a bomb on the Teatards? Oh, silly me… Those were BLACK radicals. Never mind…

People who dehumanize do it because they themselves feel dehumanized.

What is dehumanized? I think it is too easy to throw that around. I think it is more commonly a simple lack of belief that there is intrinsic value to a human being. That is really more of a modern liberal belief to begin with… a belief that only my kind of human has value is the historical standard.

Human compassion is often natural to us as individuals (even the teabaggers might help someone for no gain to themselves), but our pack mentality is rarely compassionate outside of total disaster.

I guess I’m saying these people don’t feel “dehumanized” like how we use the term. They believe they should be valued because of their faith or their race or their wealth or for just being, but not because humans in general have value.

That is why I can never take the “right to life” argument seriously… they really don’t believe it, and they really just see unwanted pregnancy and children as punishment for loose morals.

We’ll let you have a spork first, and see how you do with that, ‘K?

Well the obvious counter there is Waco.

I think Djur has a point.

Joking about cleaning a gun in the direction of teabaggers

[…]

I’m not going to feel ashamed about commenting about defending myself.

That in particular is not a comment about defending yourself.

Maybe circumstances have weakened me but I got a good laugh out of that justme.

More laughs please.

I guess I’m saying these people don’t feel “dehumanized” like how we use the term.

To feel superior to another group of people is to be, by definition, dehumanized. It’s a relativistic notion. To the people making the comments, the other group is dehumanized by being lesser. To an outside observer, the people making the comments believe they are somehow superior to a group of “normal” people, so they have dehumanized themselves into beings differentiated by some subjective notion of being better than normal.

Now, the psychology for why this happens goes over my head, but I believe it because it has a ring of truth for me: you can’t dehumanize someone else without dehumanizing yourself.

It takes a little piece of your soul to do this. Think of it in terms of war. Soldiers have to dehumanize the enemy, else they’ll go fucking nuts over murdering people.

Think about that for a second: in order to actually kill someone on the other side, a soldier has to go through a process where they stifle the very human emotions of regret and fear.

They have to dehumanize.

“When do you think the cops will drop a bomb on the Teatards? Oh, silly me… Those were BLACK radicals. Never mind…”

I think we all know the answer to why this does not occur, but wouldn’t it be interesting if a group of armed, black Obama supporters showed up at a teatard rally in, oh, say Birmingham. Think that would get on the evening news?

And those lamprey are so damn cute!

Tasty too!

I’d just like them to start doing it before it gets to that level.

Well, I’m of the opinion that people are going to wind up injured and dead because of all the flame-fanning. Of course, the cheerleaders will demur “Nobody could have predicted…” and lie back on their fainting couch, back of hand against forehead, should anybody ever call them out. The tards are going to continue upping the ante until it becomes so utterly repulsive to such a large portion of Americans that there isn’t any money in it for the media to cover it in anything resembling a positive light. As long as said tards get their “Awww, isn’t that cute!” from Fox, they’re going to reach farther and farther down into the cesspit for “presents” to leave on the doorstep.

That said, I can’t really condone any sort of preemptive action by The Man. A distaste for COINTELPRO and anything that smacks thereof runs deep within me, regardless of the ideology of the target.

The only thing that is going to marginalize these hideous, violent idiots is, well, marginalizing them. A good, old fashioned shunning might be the trick. It’s only because they are useful idiots that they got any press at all, and only because they got press that they gained any traction.

I think, yes, that the police need to keep alert for these twunts. Arrest and prosecute any and all who think their politics give them the right to harm others. I daresay it might be a good idea for Congress to ram a bill down our throats defining acts of domestic terrorism and punishments for them, just to clarify what is and what is not acceptable behavior for adults in a modern society, seeing as how that seems to be in question these days.

“wouldn’t it be interesting if a group of armed, black Obama supporters showed up at a teatard rally ”

I guess that’s when we would learn the difference between legally exercising one’s Second Amendment rights and inciting a riot.

Funnier – John T. Simpson, writer, using the best metaphor that comes to mind:

Lastly, a blackly comic punchline. A spec script I have been laboring on for eighteen months, my fourth, is finally wrapping this week and going to market after rewrites based on coverage. That’s why I’ve been mostly MIA as of late. I know. Alex Perez, aka Hollywood Scab Writer, probably has a better shot at the Biz than I will after this. But I’m a writer. I write. Telling me to stop writing is like telling a charter NAMBLA Member in Good Standing to lay off the young boys. It ain’t happening.

A distaste for COINTELPRO and anything that smacks thereof runs deep within me, regardless of the ideology of the target.

Agreed, but investigating actual non-agent-provocateured threats against elected officials is OK with me.

I daresay it might be a good idea for Congress to ram a bill down our throats defining acts of domestic terrorism and punishments for them, just to clarify what is and what is not acceptable behavior for adults in a modern society, seeing as how that seems to be in question these days.

That’d help, I imagine. It’d also lead to a bunch of dicks tippytoeing up to the line and saying “I’m not TOUCHING you!” but they’re gonna do that anyway.

i think this is the beginning of the teabagmites getting wrapped around the neck of the republican party. they didn’t really realize until this week what kind of dogs they were lying down with, and the frantic picking off of fleas is now in progress. good luck with that!

also, i venture to predict that in a couple of months the rending of garments over the Destruction of Capitalism will die down as people with short attention spans become distracted by other shiny objects. unless the administration makes the really stupid decision to go ahead with immigration reform before the midterms…

think we all know the answer to why this does not occur, but wouldn’t it be interesting if a group of armed, black Obama supporters showed up at a teatard rally in, oh, say Birmingham. Think that would get on the evening news?

I think the odds of that happening have greatly increased after this weekend. I expect one this summer. FREE HUEY NEWTON!

Oh. Right. Sorry…my age is showing.

…using the best metaphor that comes to mind…

He writes what he knows.

But what about the CHILDREN??!! Will no one think of the children?

“wouldn’t it be interesting if a group of armed, black Obama supporters showed up at a teatard rally ”

I guess that’s when we would learn the difference between legally exercising one’s Second Amendment rights and inciting a riot.

I’ve been trying to get the Wu-Tang Clan to go to an NRA rally for, like, ever, but they just keep talking about “tical” and “protecting their neck.”

Jesus, Subs, that guy is a veritable party mix of nuts.

become distracted by other shiny objects fukin ebol messicans in are base, steelin are jobz!

From the comments of Substance’s link:
John – The problem with most of these guys is the money has been so good, they no longer fear offending the right. In fact, they probably love it and get their oppressive/Democrat/Socialist Party merit badge everytine they sound off. It kind of reminds me of the NBA. So much money, they can tell the coach to piss off. It is hard for me to do, since I have alwways enjoyed movies, but I go less and less (sounds like a prilosec commercial doesn’t it?)

Basketball, huh? Not baseball, or football or hockey…but basketball? Wonder why that particular sport is such a bell ringer?

Oh, and dude: Cameron ain’t shedding a tear because you didn’t see Avatar. Trust me on this one.

“Telling me to stop writing is like telling a charter NAMBLA Member in Good Standing to lay off the young boys. It ain’t happening.”

No, really, go ahead. I’ll wait for the next elevator. Really. Yeah.

That’d help, I imagine. It’d also lead to a bunch of dicks tippytoeing up to the line and saying “I’m not TOUCHING you!” but they’re gonna do that anyway.

Which, I suppose, is the reason to write it just vague enough that the dog has a couple of extra links in his chain.

And yeah, they’re sort of already doing that, aren’t they?

She is the Paris Hilton of politics, with a free pass to run her twunt mouth with impunity from any meaningful criticism.

Paris Hatin’

Agreed, but investigating actual non-agent-provocateured threats against elected officials is OK with me.

Oh, and hell yeah. As I said, arrest and prosecute. They have already crossed the line, but is it really there if there’s no enforcement? Ah, the lessons of the Bush years.

I don’t really understand the window breaking thing.
If the guy who suggested it in the first place is making a big deal about him being behind it (ie. taking credit), shouldn’t he also take responsibility, and pay for the damages?

Paris Hatin’

Failin Palin Paris Hatin….

Your turn.

There are no teabaggers in Maine. The recruits are all drunk on coffee brandy and driving their snowmobiles into large holes in the ice of our melting lakes, arguing about how many ATVs they should own.

And those lamprey are so damn cute!
Tasty too!

No honestly, I couldn’t eat another bite.

I don’t really understand the window breaking thing.

I don’t either…well, not now that I’m 40. When I was 16, I totally got the rad window breakin shit. However, at 16, I wasn’t dumb enough to think it made any kind of a statement other than “Don’t fuckin tell ME to get off yer lawn, old man!”

And I am NOT a racist. Basketball is just an dogwhistle example. I also didn’t see Avatar because I don’t like that I’m sexually attracted to the male aliens instead of the female ones. It wouldn’t be proper for a hater of teh ghey to get a tickly feeling in his pee-pee and have to deal with even more abject self-loathing, prompting him to put less effort into veiling his bigotry…

Plz to remember teabaggers have the emotional and intellectual maturity of a four-year-old throwing a particularly nasty temper tantrum.

No, really, go ahead. I’ll wait for the next elevator. Really. Yeah.

But I have caaannndyyyy… Nevermind the jar of peanut butter, JUST PUT THE GODDAM LOTION IN THE BASKET

As if that weren’t the whole point of Big Follywood.

Funnier – John T. Simpson, writer, using the best metaphor that comes to mind:

Dude, was that guy on meth when he wrote that column? It’s one of the most speeded-out, breathless things I’ve ever read.

It strikes me as a warning: next time it could be a bullet.

No, I understand that. But if the guy publicly states it was his idea, he encouraged people to vandalism and takes credit for organizing that, wouldn’t it make sense to send the bills for fixing those windows to that guy?

It strikes me as a warning: next time it could be a bullet.

They’re gonna throw bricks through our bullets?

No, I understand that. But if the guy publicly states it was his idea, he encouraged people to vandalism and takes credit for organizing that, wouldn’t it make sense to send the bills for fixing those windows to that guy?

Absolutely, and I expect he’ll be paying something on the order of a fine for this. If it was my window that was broken, I know I’d be dragging his ass to court.

They’re gonna throw bricks through our bullets?

S’alright, I forgot to keep them in the freezer so they’re all stale now.

She is the Paris Hilton of politics, with a free pass to run her twunt mouth with impunity from any meaningful criticism.

Palin makes Hilton look classy.

I know I’d be dragging his ass to court.

And screaming at the DA to prosecute this for what it really was, a terrorist act.

They’re gonna throw bricks through our bullets?

Brick Fu!

And screaming at the DA to prosecute this for what it really was, a terrorist act.

Feh!

Worse. RICO. That way he could roll up his entire network of friends and family and probably geet Sarah Palin in the net too.

No, I understand that. But if the guy publicly states it was his idea, he encouraged people to vandalism and takes credit for organizing that, wouldn’t it make sense to send the bills for fixing those windows to that guy?

Sure seems like it. Send him the bill and see how many of his little minions he gives up–assuming he actually knows who broke the windows.

The victim role playing would be superinterwebfantastictacular, wouldn’t it?

“Normally I’m all about personal responsibility, but I have to chalk this one up to colateral damage and whatnot. This is a case of Obamadrones getting even for my having revealed their secret plot to take away Jack Daniels and Ted Nugent and ram their purple throbbing socialism down my poor, virgin (heh) throat, again and again and again”

Don’t know if folks saw this, but it makes another argument for the shit sammich HCR bill.

A good one, too, methinks.

For all the political and economic uncertainties about health reform, at least one thing seems clear: The bill that President Obama signed on Tuesday is the federal government’s biggest attack on economic inequality since inequality began rising more than three decades ago.

Over most of that period, government policy and market forces have been moving in the same direction, both increasing inequality. The pretax incomes of the wealthy have soared since the late 1970s, while their tax rates have fallen more than rates for the middle class and poor.

colateral damage

This reminds me: we need drink recipes for the upcoming civil unrest the Teabaggers are going to carry out, like overturning garbage cans and pulling the tags off mattresses.

My vote is for the Piña Collateral Damage.

Well, I’m of the opinion that people are going to wind up injured and dead because of all the flame-fanning.

You can’t stir up shit for as long as these idiots have and not expect something to happen.

I still point out I was worried over the militias back in 1993 when their calls for armed marches on Washington and violent resistance were pretty much considered nothing but empty bloviating on their part. Come April 995 it wasn’t a joke anymore. Of course, closing the barn door after the entire herd had flown (as it were) hardly did much for the dead in OKC.

I think, yes, that the police need to keep alert for these twunts. Arrest and prosecute any and all who think their politics give them the right to harm others. I daresay it might be a good idea for Congress to ram a bill down our throats defining acts of domestic terrorism and punishments for them, just to clarify what is and what is not acceptable behavior for adults in a modern society, seeing as how that seems to be in question these days.

*sigh* If authorities would only be as determined to do something about these yahoos as they have been for years with respect to war protestors, anti-globalization marchers, and people who criticized Bush after 9/11.

Dude, was that guy on meth when he wrote that column? It’s one of the most speeded-out, breathless things I’ve ever read.

He’s been at it for a while.

April 1995.

FYWP.

FYWP.

If authorities would only be as determined to do something about these yahoos as they have been for years with respect to war protestors, anti-globalization marchers, and people who criticized Bush after 9/11.

No fucking kidding.

FYWP once more. No blockquotes allowed now?

No, I understand that. But if the guy publicly states it was his idea, he encouraged people to vandalism and takes credit for organizing that, wouldn’t it make sense to send the bills for fixing those windows to that guy?

Just deduct the repair cost from his Social Security disability payments.

Yeah, you read that right- he’s suckin’ on the gov’ment teat.

My vote is for the Piña Collateral Damage.

Ummm, how ’bout a Gin Brickey?

Yeah, you read that right- he’s suckin’ on the gov’ment teat.

Oh, motherfucking shit. Do these people have no motherfucking SHAME?

Both! Followed by a Mouthisbigbutballsartini.

could i get a long island iced ho-bag party?

ram their purple throbbing socialism down my poor, virgin (heh) throat, again and again and again

Ah, so it’s all about making pate de fois gross.

Yeah, you read that right- he’s suckin’ on the gov’ment teat.

Let’s go break his windows. I’ll gladly pay for it out of MY government subsidy.

When I actually get one. I’m not gay and haven’t aborted a kid today, so Soros’ checks stopped coming.

I want a forty of ChampFail.

an appletini tiny penis?

I’d like a Thug Passion, please.

Ah, so it’s all about making pate de fois gross.

The recipe for pate de faux grassroots is more fun.

I don’t get the way the feds and the cops ignore the right-wing terrorists either. They investigated the goddamn Quakers when George was in office, but now, oh no, can’t do anything about the psychotics threatening presidents and congressmen and schoolkids.

Actually, I think I do understand why they choose to ignore the teabaggers and honkey thugs. I just wish I didn’t.

Woo, I see Stupak is now on the death-threats-receiver list.

It shows just how much you gain by pandering to the Republicans.

I see Stupak is now on the death-threats-receiver list.

From a pro-lifer, no doubt.

As long as something is RAMMED DOWN THE THROAT.

The term “baby-killing” is in the screed, which would suggest it. Bleah.

To rip off Churchill, the police and other authorities will do the right thing about these domestic terrorists…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.

You know why.

From SM’s link:

Even in comedy, there is a deep morality in Leslie Nielsen’s Frank Drebin pounding the crap out of the Ayatollah Khomeini and wiping the birthmark off Gorbachev’s forehead in Naked Gun, or Stewie giving Osama bin Laden a Naked Gun-like beatdown in Family Guy. But that morality is just a side benefit of writing great comedy that everybody gets deep-down, like Team America: World Police. It’s the ultimate in vicarious fun. What Americans, besides Lefties, wouldn’t want to do all that?

The larger point here being, we should always strive to make the best movies and documentaries possible that expound on and examine closely our ideas and values as conservative Americans, without actually expounding on or examining them. Just present the story, the facts and the evidence, and all else follows. It’s the Art of Fighting Without Fighting, as Bruce Lee so eloquently put it.

Holy shit. I shouldn’t be surprised by this kind of tripe, but I still laugh to see such sport.

Yikes, John T. Simpson: What is the sound of one hand fapping?

Telling me to stop writing is like telling a charter NAMBLA Member in Good Standing to lay off the young boys. It ain’t happening.

Ah, the good old mad-libs wit. Telling me to X is like improbable situation Y! I’m like a ~P when it comes to Q!

The problem with komedy (with a k, like krab meat) is that it does require a small sliver of creativity, and hence a potential brush with one’s own, we might say, Freudian Shit. This usually leads to not-funny and is-creepy.

NAMBLA? you couldn’t just go with something we all could enjoy, like “telling a certified bikini inspector to lay off inspecting bikinis”? See, it’s wittier due to the repetition of amusing phrase — “bikini inspector”, and not totally fucking creepy, but still close enough to the standard komedy konstruction (blarghetype?) as to not provoke too much of a strain for the reader. Bikini inspectors! Write it down. Consider it a freebie. (*)

Besides, according to the rules of komedy, I’m pretty sure the metaphor should involve fatness. And a Clinton-era reference would be nice. Telling me to stop writing is like telling Bill Clinton to … a buffet table of ribs and/or cornfed southern girls! Like telling Al Gore to turn down the heat and/or stop eating pie! It ain’t happening.

(*) Wikipedia pages about animals can be a good source of metaphors, and we all know how girls like animals, so, you know. Might wanna not tell a lady you fancy that you love her as much as, eg. a NAMBLA charter member loves molesting. Girls are weird about that sort of thing. So here’s another freebie: “Telling me to quit calling your house 30 times a day is like telling a capybara to not graze primarily on grasses and aquatic plants, as well as fruit and tree bark!”

Over 300 comments and not one “Einstürzende Neugebauer” reference? Sheesh.

Stewie giving Osama bin Laden a Naked Gun-like beatdown in Family Guy

Isn’t that the liberal program that had the tard?

By the way, Palin’s “Don’t Retreat…Retard” saying ought to be the subject of a few comments.
