I’m frist? score one for the lurkers

– We will arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for Obama’s youth corps, and tell them it’s the peace corps for the lefties.

I thought the youth corps was a plot to build a secret army to destroy America from the inside. She not only supports the secret army, she wants to help it link up with Obama’s terrorist allies in the Sudan and Somalia? My word! Almost makes you wonder who the real Enemy Within is.

…or the temporarily delurked I guess…

one of the five or six nyms that account for more than half the posts on SN has got to be along shortly, to speak of tropical fruits and veiled genitalia…

Somebody needs to switch to decaf.

to speak of tropical fruits and veiled genitalia…

That’s a sham, wow. We don’t veil our genitalia up in this joint.

I, for one, am all over the idea of Barack and the Dems taking their olive branch and shoving it up some Republican bootay. And I believe many here at Sadly, No! would agree with me that this comes about 2 years too late.

IT’S A TRAP!

She WANTS us to shove the “olive branch.” Down her throat so she can complain about us doing it.

The professional angerist moved to Colorado just as the state rejected Tancredoism, which is probably a good thing for her, as the deluded scowlmerchant probably voted for him in the knowledge that he’d gladly remove her anchor-baby citizenship and deport her.

Grrrrr.

My goodness. You’d almost think Pammy and MEchelle are less interested in governing than they are in triumphalism and polarization. I must be misreading; it could not be that the demure Ms. Gellar and the kindhearted Malkin just want targets upon whom to vent their anger.

Right?

The olive branch is particularly dusky.

Here is an ironclad certainty: It’s too little too late for the antagonist-in-chief to paper over two years of relentless Democratic incivility and hate toward his domestic ‘enemies’.

One apparently doesn’t even need to drop acid to trip nowadays.

D.A.,

…for brevity’s sake, awesome.

I, for one, am all over the idea of Barack and the Dems taking their olive branch and shoving it up some Republican bootay.

Ya beat me to it! Kudos.

he’d gladly remove her anchor-baby citizenship and deport her

I’m sure Sharron Angle would tell her she looks like a Mejican

Oh, ye libruls, quake ye in utter terror of the coming onslaught of trembling Republican anger. Quail before the terrifying spectacle of Michelle Malkin spitting in cartoonish yet ultimately impotent (like Jesse) rage as screams in ego-stoking fury at her Facebook page and eventually goes off jill off to an issue of “Guns and Ammo.”

Oh yea, ye shall fear her saying things but not actually doing a damn thing but hoping maybe some dumb shmoe will blow up a building for her…

Carl Paladino’s channeling of Dick Nixon doing an Al Capone impression

I thought it was more like channeling Lester Maddox doing a Babe Ruth impression.

tigris – Everybody gets to be the Mad Hatter at this particular Tea Party and every day is Backwards Day.

Quail before the terrifying spectacle of Michelle Malkin spitting in cartoonish yet ultimately impotent (like Jesse) rage as screams in ego-stoking fury at her Facebook page and eventually goes off jill off to an issue of “Guns and Ammo.”

I bet that she’ll be so mad, her upper torso will detach from her pelvis during a Fox appearance.

Artist’s rendition

Damn, I make a lot of typos. I should take some damn typing lessons. :/

Exactly! Show them libtards how effective a true Libertarian paradise is! Remember the government that governs least is the government that governs best!

Touch-typing is the Jqwerty of Liberal Fascism

I’m afraid the Daily Mash seems to have called this wisely…

I bet that she’ll be so mad, her upper torso will detach from her pelvis during a Fox appearance.

Malkin always struck me as more of a Penanggalan. Other than being from the wrong country, it fits all of Malkin’s typical traits…

Gellar, meanwhile, is probably a gelantinous cube.

I bet that she’ll be so mad, her upper torso will detach from her pelvis during a Fox appearance.

From your link: “Self-segmenting flying viscera sucker” describes the Braying Cheerleader quite nicely, I’d say.

Lemme see if I get this straight, from Red State:

Winning one house of Congress, after you’ve lost both AND the White House, is something to crow about as returning the country to “its rightful owner”?

Really?

Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats

Again with the shoving…

We don’t veil our genitalia up in this joint.

Not unless we have the Arabic music on the iPod.

Damn, I make a lot of typos. I should take some damn typing lessons. :/

Or you could save a few bucks and take typoing lessons.

Y’know, from the tone, you’d think the left won…

We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership to Iran, Somalia, Darfur, et al, to watch clitorectomies, stonings, and gender apartheid.

That’s fine, as long as Pam and her ilk get to go to Equitorial Guinea, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia. Plus they can undergo all the “fraternity-style hijinks” they vociferously approve of in a secret US prison in an undisclosed location. After all, it’s only fair.

It pisses me off when complete assholes pretend to care about women or gays or some minority group merely as a cudgel for foreign policy. Of the people I know who are active in human rights organizations, hardly any of them are right-wingers, but those organizations criticize abuses in US allies and rivals alike.

Malkin always struck me as more of a Penanggalan. Other than being from the wrong country, it fits all of Malkin’s typical traits…</I?

Well, they are cognates, it's just that the Filipino version's name is closer to her maiden name. The description is very apt, though- a physically attractive woman of a certain age who transforms into a vitriol spewing vampiric monster… pure Malkin.

Sorry about the tagfail… hope I didn’t blow up WordPress.

We will arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for Obama’s youth corps, and tell them it’s the peace corps for the lefties.

Unlike the original Peace Corps?

Y’know, from the tone, you’d think the left won…

I think that the fact that the Tea Party candidates caused them to lose their Senate takeover bid has set in, and this irks them to no end.

Sarah’s failin’.

Before it was co-opted by the CIA. yeah.

Plus they can undergo all the “fraternity-style hijinks” they vociferously approve of in a secret US prison in an undisclosed location.

I envision a Six Flags theme park in Virginia…

double down on freedom

First we take a massive pile of cured pork, two kinds of cheese and a secret sauce of pure Heartland clogging cholesterol and cram it between two deep-fried Original-Intent All-White Constitutions. Who needs bread and circuses when you can have trans-fat fueled rage and circuses?

Hey wait. Where’s the circuses Boehner?

We have gender apartheid right here in the U.S. – restrooms are separate but “equal” (I sneer, since the womens don’t get the fancy stand up urinals [or so I hear]).

California, you are about to get even more screwed up than you already are

So screwed up that future Meg Whitmans might move there? Malkin’s more correct than she knows.

We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership

Doubling down on freedom by forcibly restricting the freedom of movement of American citizens, based on political ideology. I’d call that a real highlight!

I sneer, since the womens don’t get the fancy stand up urinals [or so I hear]

And we don’t get the slaves with the fans and the grapes. It works out in the end.

we don’t get the slaves with the fans and the grapes.

Fans would be nice, but grapes in the crapper? Ew.

It works out in the end.

That’s not grapes. That’s corn.

It’s been an Us vs. Them freefall ever since.

ORLY?

I’m gonna go over here and fuck Irony’s corpse. BRB.

we don’t get the slaves with the fans and the grapes.

That’s not grapes. That’s corn.

I seem to be uncharacteristically slow today…

So the American people have delivered their message through the indisputable medium of the ballot box – except in California, apparently.

Citizens voting to put TeaParty nut-cases in office – Yay democracy! Citizens voting to for Jerry Brown for governor – weird, screwed up and crazy.

SN has got to be along shortly, to speak of tropical fruits and veiled genitalia…

The only time my genitalia wore a veil was when it got married…or was just feelin’ fancy.

Of the people I know who are active in human rights organizations, hardly any of them are right-wingers, but those organizations criticize abuses in US allies and rivals alike.

Oh, of course. While the righties only denounce abuses by their opponents (and only for as long as they remain opponents), the reverse simply isn’t true on the left, much as they like to accuse us of it.

You heard about that woman sentenced to stoning in Iran by a fanatic Muslim court? I ask this because so far, the only person who’s sent me activist stuff (petitions to sign, demonstrations to attend, etc) about it is my peacenik secular Lebanese friend who was sending me anti-Israeli Defense Force fliers back in 2006. Conservatives? They’ll rally indignantly when people like her build a YMCA in Manhattan, but the life of a woman? Meh. Who gives a shit. BORING.

You could also read women’s rights movement literature from the nineties, to find that the feminazis were concerned about the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and its human rights abuses for years before 9/11.

But, but that was when the heroic Mujahedeen were fighting the Evil Soviet Empire under the benevolent hand of the sainted Ronald Reagan.

Well, I mean, come ON! Acknowledging that people have “rights” would take away from the message of freedom!

News travels slowly in the hills around Kandahar…

Well, I mean, come ON! Acknowledging that people have “rights” would take away from the message of freedom!

I remember a highly intellectual conversation on a conservative facebook friend’s page debating health care with some other conservatives. When the issue of whether it was a right came up, one of his friends took the ground that “well, what is a right? I don’t think there’s such a thing as a totally inherent right, because I don’t think there are rights so inherent that God can’t take them away if he wants.”

Which is ivory tower intellectual theory on the level of “can God create a rock so big he can’t lift it?” but is nevertheless more relevant to the discussion than, you know, the couple thousand real people who go bankrupt each year trying to stay healthy.

I guess the story of Noah was lost on them…

Fixed.

They are frothing at the mouth as it is…… any more angry and they would be loading the guns.. 2012 is going to be awesome…

I guess the story of Noah was lost on them…

Lost on me too. What about that story?

I guess the story of Noah was lost on them…

Lost on me too. What about that story?

Recall why God made the rainbow, as a convenant that he wouldn’t set out to destroy man. The logical link is to the Ten Commandments, which implies that even God acknowledges there are some rights even He won’t take back.

yeah, but are they ever NOT psychotically angry? I can’t remember a time when they weren’t.

The nineties?

Evil Soviet Empire and Ronald Reagan?

Well, that was the afterglow, and they were still cuddling. Hell, they even excoriated Clinton for sending cruise missiles after their freedom-fighting heroes.

Remember when the Chechens were considered freedom fighters?

Recall why God made the rainbow, as a convenant that he wouldn’t set out to destroy man. The logical link is to the Ten Commandments, which implies that even God acknowledges there are some rights even He won’t take back.

But now that he’s made a covenant, does that mean he WON’T take it back or CAN’T take it back? (Rhetorical question, similar to asking how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, but that’s what passes for policy debate in the heartland).

By the way, I think I just realized why global warming doesn’t scare them. God’s covenant means the ice caps can never melt.

yeah, but are they ever NOT psychotically angry?

They’ve gotten angrier. What’s worried me is, they had the Congress, the Presidency, and the SCOTUS (which they still have), and could get none of their agenda rammed down our throats, and while they’ve had to make up shit left and right to get angry at, what happens when something truly tragic happens to their agenda?

yeah, but are they ever NOT psychotically angry? I can’t remember a time when they weren’t.

They’re angry when they lose and they’re angry when they win. They’re just angry. Must suck to be them. Or their families.

But now that he’s made a covenant, does that mean he WON’T take it back or CAN’T take it back?

Won’t. That promise was implied in the whole Jesus event.

By the way, I think I just realized why global warming doesn’t scare them. God’s covenant means the ice caps can never melt.

That’s an aspect of it, to be sure. Also, if God wills it….this is why they’re so adamant that any warming has been natural, because if man could destroy that which he was charged with keeping…you can imagine God might get angry and forget his promise.

Boy, that God. Six days of work, and He gets to rest on His laurels for eternity.

CO Senate candidate Fuck says he wasn’t elected because he was too honest.

But I thought that’s what Teabaggers want!

Same thing that happened when white supremacists were losing the agenda in the fifties and sixties, and left wing radicals were losing the agenda in the seventies and eighties. They start blowing shit up.

Like I posted at your blog a couple days ago, the reason the militia movement hasn’t turned into a nationwide terrorist campaign is because the 1992 and 2008 elections were largely flashes in the pan. But if you give them an election like 1932, or worse 1952 (Republican who really is a liberal), that’s exactly what’ll happen.

Boy, that God. Six days of work, and He gets to rest on His laurels for eternity.

And we laughed at Dumbya…

But if you give them an election like 1932, or worse 1952 (Republican who really is a liberal), that’s exactly what’ll happen.

I think it will take less than that.

Sarah Palin losing springs to mind.

I wonder why this wasn’t more forcefully advanced in, say, September and October?

Business is going to miss the Dems…

I agree with actor212 and others, they are so angry because they now have a slim majority is the weaker of the houses of Congress. They wanted the Senate so badly.

Boehner investigating the WH? Don’t make me laugh. Remember how the Bush crime syndicate simply ignored subpoenas. They set the precedent. The Repugs have pathetically little power at this point.

But it is fun watching how juvenile they act since the TP was boosted to prominence by Faux Noise. “Shove it!” Real mature.

” and the SCOTUS (which they still have), and could get none of their agenda”

Five activist judges fixed elections in 2000 and again in 2010. Juses I hope the aftermath this time isn’t as bad as the last time.

Five activist judges fixed elections in 2000 and again in 2010.

Or did you mean 2004?

Or were you referring to Citizens United?

I hear the apocalypse is gonna be swell.

I hear the apocalypse is gonna be swell.

Rainbows everywhere, with the words “How do you like Me now?” etched in flames 30 miles high…..

“I think it will take less than that.”

I agree. I think, however, that we’ve already passed that point – the gloves are clearly off now. Righteous Revolution happens as soon as Obama in any way impedes the Real Will of The People, which has just returned the country to its rightful rulers (at least in spirit; some of the races were temporarily stolen by those UnAmericans, or else the Senate and the House would be properly governed). In other words, as soon as the House passes some bizarre anti-liberal bill that the Senate waffles over, the spittle-flying shrieking will reach jet-engine decibel levels and the ‘booms’ will only be a matter of time. Probably only a few at first, but when there is little reaction (and that mainly cowering and begging for bipartisanship) by the government, the number and severity will go up. Kids with guns are just as dangerous in rural as in urban areas, and their actual calender age is not the age they behave as.

Look, these are asshats making noises over the fact that Obamas trip to Inida, a critical trading partner in that its economy is fucking exploding all over the place, will cost (as the frightwingers put) twenty brazilian dollars an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(actual estimates here)

If they can get that worked up over that kind of trip, it’s easy to see them getting absolutely violent over a Senate filibuster.

By the way, best story on the non-story?

This

Yet as the clip above from Fox Business News demonstrates, the absurdity quickly became fuel for the vast right-wing outrage machine. (My favorite part above is where the outraged host, the genius Eric Bolling, insists: “I will tell you unequivocably, I am not making this up, this has been reported, go to the Internet, go take a look.” Really, they gave this guy a microphone and TV time?)

Michelle
From hell
These are words that go together well.

Michelle

Why, Michelle?

From the “skull-fucking” link to Ameican Stinker:

“It has not been lost on this monumental grassroots movement that lawmakers of both political parties have either ignored or defied constitutional limits on their powers for going on a century now. And for those now taking to the streets in protest, citizen revolution against growing tyranny is the primary driver of disgust.”

“Going on a century now”! We have been living in tyranny for “going on a century now”? Whonoo. Goddamn Teddy Roosevelt and his commie trust busting and socialamist national parks. I’m looking at you Yosemite.

Y’know, from the tone, you’d think the left won…

Nah, if the Democrats had won, you’d be hearing a lot more explosions.

We have been living in tyranny for “going on a century now”?

Well, William Howard Taft was pretty fat…

I saw the other crazy Michele (Bachman) give that $400 mil/day figure on A. Cooper last night. Apparently an Indian ‘journalist’ pulled the number out of his ass and the crazy lady dutifully ate it up and spit it out. Any sane person would question it and Cooper did cal bullshit on it later in his show.

It has not been lost on this monumental grassroots movement that lawmakers of both political parties have either ignored or defied constitutional limits on their powers for going on a century now.

“Well, William Howard Taft was pretty fat…”

Fatter than Algore?

Someone must have posted this before me, but so what:

They also tried to push Democrats into retirement, using what was described in the presentation as “guerilla tactics” like chasing Democratic members down with video cameras and pressing them to explain votes or positions. (One target, Representative Bob Etheridge of North Carolina, had to apologize for manhandling one of his inquisitors in a clip memorialized on YouTube. Only this week did Republican strategists acknowledge they were behind the episode.)

Leftist enemies soundly defeated, my shiny metal ass.

The results for the right & left wings of the Democratic Party are like night & day. The Progressive Caucus lost a grand total of four seats out of circa 80 members. The Blue Dogs got declawed & neutered – they’ve been literally cut in half overnight.

The message to the Democrats from America wasn’t exactly subtle on Tuesday: grow a bloody spine already & stop giving free candy to the pouting incontinent brats on the other side.

2012 is going to be awesome…

Yep.

It’s entirely possible that even the anti-Bush rage of 2008 will look mellow compared to the wave of loathing against Boehner’s Butthurt Bastards that will be rising from sea to shining sea two years from now. Imagine all the facepalm-inducing moronic spew that the 112th Congress will produce in terms of sound-bites. Stewart & Colbert must be fapping to beat the band right now.

Even in the absence of extreme bugfuckery like defaulting on the debt, two more years of perpetual gridlock is going to look awfully arrogant in a sluggish economy. The dirty little secret is that the “NO TO EVERYTHING” strategy is all they’ve got, & another two years of it will leave them polling somewhere below inoperable colon cancer.

They’re making brave noises now, but the GOP already know they’re boned in 2012. Who’s going to be the poor human punching-bag that gets to run against Obama on a “Vote For Us – We Just Spent Four Straight Years Pulling Our Pud On Your Dime!” ticket? The Party Of No Solutions will now get to work at setting itself up for a beating that’ll make 2008 look like the good old days.

Lookie! Douthat catches a clue, and it only took him years!

You can take your faux olive branch and shove it.

Unless you’re in Alabama. I hear there’s a law ‘gainst sellin’ faux olive branches there.

Who’s going to be the poor human punching-bag that gets to run against Obama on a “Vote For Us – We Just Spent Four Straight Years Pulling Our Pud On Your Dime!” ticket?

I hear Christine O’Donnell is looking for work, thought she might object to the name of that ticket.

What does Somalia and cliterectomies have to do with US health care?

Here is Pamalamadingdong’s Manifesto submitted in its entirety for most glorious lol’s.

“Our victory is the beginning of the 40 years war — who is with me?

We will repeal national socialist Obamacare.

We will destroy all old propaganda media. New media is steamrolling over the deadmen walking.

We will repeal the financial reform bill that scapegoated business for the abject failures of the fed.

We will take back the college campuses.

We will get on our childrens’ school boards and, just like in Texas, change the whitewashed history books and review the syllabi.

Get government out of our lives. Dismantle big government. Piece by piece.

Deregulate business. Piece by piece. Sector by sector. Unshackle the motor of the country. Free the producer.

We will volunteer in homeschooling networks. We will donate and offer our services in our respective areas of expertise.

Unshackle America. Repeal “hate crime” legislation. All crime is hate. This is an attack on free speech. Islamic supremacists will invoke “hate speech” to kill free speech.

We will expose and prosecute the subversives like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, ISNA and all Muslim Brotherhood fronts whose stated aim is “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”

We will call our mortal enemy by its rightful name: Islamic jihad.

We will turn the Muslim Brotherhood into the Muslims Little Girlyhood.

We will stop funding Ground Zero Mosque Imam Rauf’s fund raising junkets to the Middle East.

We will stop importing whole Muslim communities from Somalia under the “UN’s Resettlement Program.”

We will ridicule, polarize, and render irrelevant the dogmatic, evil leftists.

We will crush them with our logic and reason and concrete facts.

We will demand reasoned discourse and laugh at their ad hominen attacks.

RINOs will not be tolerated. Leave the party, join the traitors. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, take note.

Drill baby, drill.

We will raise the voting age to 21. Military excluded. If “children” are still on their parents health-care at 26, maybe 21 is too low.

We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership to Iran, Somalia, Darfur, et al, to watch clitorectomies, stonings, and gender apartheid.

We will arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for Obama’s youth corps, and tell them it’s the peace corps for the lefties.

We will demand accountability from the United Nations, or withdraw from it.

We will save Israel from Islamic anti-semitism.

We will disqualify the Organization of the Islamic Conference at the UN until there is an Organization of the Christian Conference and Organization of the Jewish Conference.”

This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. — Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

We will volunteer in homeschooling networks. We will donate and offer our services in our respective areas of expertise.

I hear Somalia has some good training programs…

We will crush them with our logic and reason and concrete facts

Something’s concrete alright, but it’s not her facts.

We will demand reasoned discourse and laugh at their ad hominen attacks.

OR ELSE!!111!!11

Wait, Pam Atlass was elected Ruler of The Universe?

“We will donate and offer our services in our respective areas of expertise.”

This will be a great boon to those majoring in abnormal psychology.

Wait, Pam Atlass was elected Ruler of The Universe?

Not if Max von Sydow has anything to say about it.

“We will raise the voting age to 21. Military excluded. If “children” are still on their parents health-care at 26, maybe 21 is too low.”

Or better yet, how ’bout we take away voting rights for anyone who has stolen a free gubmint socialist scooter from the taxpayers.

“The dirty little secret is that the “NO TO EVERYTHING” strategy is all they’ve got, & another two years of it will leave them polling somewhere below inoperable colon cancer.”

Only if the Murikan Public gets to know the truth about it. That’s how they won the little they’ve got now–because they may have absolute shit in the way of decent public policy designed to better society and strengthen America, but they are absolute Masters of the Big (and Little) Lie. Of course, this is easy when you have a dumbed-down and disinterested citizenry and nobody to call them on their shit.

If progressive members of the government consistently, immediately, and clearly publicly denounce all their bullshit, then MAYBE we can get out of this alive.

gocart mozart may have the transcript, but I have a video recording of the Pammifesto conference:

We will donate and offer our services in our respective areas of expertise.
DKW’s mom welcomes the competition.

This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Well, I can’t be bothered to do the work, but it would be fun to go down the list and check exactly which Constitutional amendment each one violates.

They shore do luv ‘Merica.

Pammy wants to be the one that “pulls the string”.

Nymstradamus, are those teabags hanging from his hat? Very prescient I must say.

“well, what is a right? I don’t think there’s such a thing as a totally inherent right, because I don’t think there are rights so inherent that God can’t take them away if he wants.”

Wait, so the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are void because GOD? That is some POWERFUL dumb.

As is Pam’s moranifesto. I do enjoy the thought of her “helping” home-schoolers, though. We have so much to look forward to… especially employers!

From an hour or so ago;

Righteous Revolution happens as soon as Obama in any way impedes the Real Will of The People, which has just returned the country to its rightful rulers (at least in spirit; some of the races were temporarily stolen by those UnAmericans, or else the Senate and the House would be properly governed). In other words, as soon as the House passes some bizarre anti-liberal bill that the Senate waffles over, the spittle-flying shrieking will reach jet-engine decibel levels and the ‘booms’ will only be a matter of time

I think for now, they still think elections are the way to go (not going to predict whether they’re right or wrong). At this point, they’re fully expecting to take the Senate and White House in 2012 and bring America “back” to its “true self.”

But I do think if a teabagger is nominated in 2012 and then loses, that might be enough of a trigger.

Also from a PJM commenter (I’ll spare you the link),

The transfer of wealth from rich to the parasite class is continuing un-abated as we discuss this.

That “fuck the poor” slogan is getting less ambiguous every time they say it. You know who else called people parasites?

We will demand reasoned discourse and laugh at their ad hominen attacks.

Ooh, I bet she’s going to teach the home-schoolers logic and reasoned discourse! And Latin, obviously.

link please Chris.

Only if the Murikan Public gets to know the truth about it.

Fact.

“You know who else called people parasites?”

Rush Limbaugh?

Nymstradamus, are those teabags hanging from his hat? Very prescient I must say.

Unnerving, isn’t it?

Pammycakes’ Port Heroin Statement isn’t comedy gold, it’s comedy platinum.

Does Pammy have a final solution to the liberal problem?

But I do think if a teabagger is nominated in 2012 and then loses, that might be enough of a trigger.

Decades from now, one of their candidates will have to explain his or her casual association with a former member of the wingnut version of the Weather Underground.

Bad losers, worse winners.

Elections results are making Bush cocky; http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/bush-i-okd-water-boarding-ksm

Never seen anyone actually gloat about torturing people before. Once again, I am profoundly thankful to his recent public appearances for reminding me what a waste of skin and an utterly worthless man George W. Bush was.

what a waste of skin and an utterly worthless man George W. Bush was, still is, and in all likelihood will forever be.

Fixed.

Look at how horrible things are for the poor people in Somalia! Lefties should do something about that! Let them move here? No way!

We will crush them…..demand…polarize….destory.

You know, she’s laughable, but this is becoming a common sentiment among even less insane, more “credible” right wingers, and it’s a little disturbing. The idea that someone would run for a public office and aspire to crush, demand, polarize, destory the members of the citizenry that didn’t vote for them. That one of the goals of their victory will be to make the other side suffer – not the opposing candidates, but the citizens who supported them. This is a common rhetorical theme of some of them, notably Sarah Palin.

I am trying to think of an another time in US history when political rhetoric was like this.

I’m not being a pollyanna – I know our political history has been nasty. But the vitriol usually seems to be peer to peer – between candidate vs. candidate, party vs. party, and even unwashed masses vs. unwashed masses.

I am wondering if there’s ever been any potential potential national elected figure in our history who has openly stated that they don’t intend to serve all the citizens, just the ones who voted for them.

I don’t think

So tempting to leave it there.

I don’t think there are rights so inherent that God can’t take them away if he wants.

I remember something about being endowed by my Creator with inalienable rights. It kind of seemed a self-evident truth.

Michele seems to think the House of Reps has a lot more power than they do. Weren’t they mostly irrelevant during the last 2 years, with something like 200+ bills just sitting in the Senate, never to be passed? Why would things change?

“We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership to Iran, Somalia, Darfur, et al, to watch clitorectomies, stonings, and gender apartheid…”

Ok with me, but the Michelle & Pam Atlas have to be forced to visit the North Arctic and watch the icebergs crash into the sea and melt. Then they have to ride out to sea on an ice floe with a couple of Polar Bears. Poor Bears!

I remember something about being endowed by my Creator with inalienable rights. It kind of seemed a self-evident truth.

Oh, they’re alienable all right.

Decades from now, one of their candidates will have to explain his or her casual association with a former member of the wingnut version of the Weather Underground.Tea Party
If I retire penniless to the underside of a bridge abutment, or abandoned boxcar this would keep me warm.

Sarah Palin has the sun rising in the west.

A burning orange sun climbs into a partly-cloudy sky, silhouetting the Statue of Liberty for just a moment before the upbeat, guitar-driven video bounces on to a montage of victorious, Palin-endorsed conservative politicians.

But it turns out “our morning” is actually a digitally-reversed sunset from an online stock-footage merchant. The sun doesn’t rise in that spot.

I am trying to think of an another time in US history when political rhetoric was like this.

The lead-up to the Civil War is the obvious choice. You could also say the era between the Civil War and the New Deal, when polarization was ethnic and religious as well as political; Northern WASPs (e.g. the Republican Party) on one side, Southern WASPs and city immigrants (e.g. the Democratic Party) on the other. In both cases, it was practically like two different countries.

Good call on the edit there.

I realized the consolation of the just-past elections. If, as I have heard, this was the third anti-establishment election in a row, 2012 may make it the fourth and therefore all the Teabaggers who got elected this time around will be unceremoniously dumped on their asses for “someone who’s not them”. Amazing Great Teabag Thousand-Year Reich lasts only two years. Much whining and butthurt as a result.

We will crush them…..demand…polarize….destory.

Crush! Yiff! Destroy!

Michele Bachmann, reveals the new style (see it on TPM), we might call it the Explaining Voice if we were so inclined. Wanking on to Anderson Cooper about how the 200 million dollars a day trip to India is an example of excessive spending, Sadly it comes from an unnamed Indian Provincial official e.g. the dogcatcher but she believes it and drools it out like it’s gospel.
Note the lack of any specific cuts even though Cooper gives her two or three chances to bargle something.
Minnesota!!!WTF

This is awesome!

The idea that someone would run for a public office and aspire to crush, demand, polarize, destory the members of the citizenry that didn’t vote for them. That one of the goals of their victory will be to make the other side suffer – not the opposing candidates, but the citizens who supported them. This is a common rhetorical theme of some of them, notably Sarah Palin.

I posted something at Balloon Juice a couple days ago about the way “they” relate to “us.”

The root of the Red/Blue divide today is that the red state electorate views America as their country and their birthright, and no one else’s. See Palin’s “real Virginia” comments and similar rhetoric from all over the GOP. See the demands from many of them that we deport those born to illegal aliens and take measures against Muslims. See the “othering” of Obama (birth certificate, allegations he’s Muslim, the American exceptionalism controversy).

We, the people who are not Tea Party conservatives, cannot come together and have a discussion about what everyone wants for America, with people who don’t really consider us American in the first place, and therefore don’t believe we have a right to be discussing this at all. Not “won’t;” literally can’t. The red staters won’t allow it. That’s what the red vs blue divide’s about, far more than about the role of government, the war on terror or who caused the financial crisis. And since it’s their perceptions that fuel the divide, resolving this deadlock’s entirely up to them, not us.

In both cases, it was practically like two different countries..

Oh, I’m aware it was contentious. And Southern politicians hated Northern politicians, regions were pitted against one another, rural vs. urban, native born vs. immigrants.

But what I’m talking about that I think is worse is that the actual political leaders – the ones holding office – are now using rhetoric that excludes citizens.

You know, even Bush paid lip service to the idea that he was the President of all Americans. Whether it was bourne out in his policies is doubtful, of course, but at least he maintained the illusion that he was supposed to be everyone’s President. and even when his policies favored the corporations or the wealthy, he pretended it was because he felt it was for the common good of all citizens.

What I hear in the rhetoric of some of these guys – Palin, Tancredo, Paladino, Angle and others – is that if they get in power, not only are they going to serve ONLY their supporters, but that also they are eager to see ordinary Americans who supported their opponent suffer.

Well said Chris

Sadly it comes from an unnamed Indian Provincial official

Yes, and one who probably is a little unclear about the exchange rate of rupees to dollars.

Never buy insurance. That’s a sucker bet.

What I hear in the rhetoric of some of these guys – Palin, Tancredo, Paladino, Angle and others – is that if they get in power, not only are they going to serve ONLY their supporters, but that also they are eager to see ordinary Americans who supported their opponent suffer.

Fascists always need to have someone suffering, or the sacrifices they make to take over are meaningless.

Bitch McConnell knows what’s best for America:

Two days after Republicans scored big victories in congressional elections, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday offered an aggressive assessment of the results, calling for votes to erode the reach of the health care law that was a signature of the Obama administration.

“That means that we can — and should — propose and vote on straight repeal, repeatedly,” McConnell said.

[snip]

More realistically, McConnell said Republicans, who will hold a majority in next year’s House of Representatives, should aim to hobble the healthcare law by “denying funds for implementation” of the measure. Annual spending bills for agencies, including ones that implement the healthcare law, are normally written first in the House.

I like the other Malkin.

Bitch McConnell knows what’s best for America:

Not doing anything about the economy and going straight for “GET THIS UPPITTY NIG OUTTA HERE!!”

Stay classy, Mama Grizzly:

Your inalienable right to free apple pie recipes.

The parasite class? Call them whatever you want, but clearly giving more money to rich people isn’t going to stimulate the economy when the problem is that not enough people are buying shit. It’s hard to get rich/richer when nobody has money to give to you for your ever-so-valuable goods/services.

Rich people don’t create jobs. People with jobs create rich people.

We will arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for Obama’s youth corps, and tell them it’s the peace corps for the lefties.

How about we arrange for youth summer camps in Somalia and Darfur for young libertarians, and tell them it’s for Donald Trump’s reality show?

I’m not even sure what her fucking point is here… That Somalia and Darfur are awesome, and after visiting, “Obama’s youth” will no longer be liberals but believe in the amazing power of free market Jesus to fix everything? That socialized medicine or whatever will lead the US to being just like Somalia, so they need to have their faces rubbed in it? That Americorps kids have it too easy and need to be punished?

But it turns out “our morning” is actually a digitally-reversed sunset from an online stock-footage merchant. The sun doesn’t rise in that spot.

So, she says it’s morning, but it’s really sunset with digital fakery?
That’s quite a metaphor, there.

Rich people don’t create jobs. People with jobs create rich people.

Demand for product creates jobs. Demand can only happen if ordinary people have enough money to buy products.

The other fallacy in the mythology is that the rich people or “small business owners” in today’s celebrity/information commodity culture don’t produce products that require infrastructure investment that creates jobs.

Today, the wealthiest are people who get paid for their performance – athletes, actors, musicians – or for their celebrity. Their products are things like books, licensed clothing, movies and music, celebrity perfume, etc.

If you give a tax break to Paris Hilton, she doesn’t build a factory. She makes her money by selling her celebrity – an intangible thing – to someone else, who produces designer colognes, purses with fancy keychains, or other stuff from the same factories that are already producing that stuff. The Paris Hilton cologne comes from the same factory that makes Britney Spears cologne. The amount of cologne produced remains the same, the variation is just how much of it is put in the bottle with Hilton’s name on it vs. the ne with Spears’ name.

And the perfume factories and the purse factories are overseas, anyway.

I work in the event industry, so you might say that mine is one of the few industries that actually does expand when you give tax breaks to rich people – they can afford more parties, which means more tent and carpet rentals, more caterers, more chocolate fountains and more deliveries of rental lounge furniture.

The transfer of wealth from rich to the parasite class

no transfer necessary in many cases.

More chocolate fountains!

This may be a winning slogan. I know I’d vote for anyone promising that.

That plagiarism thing gets better every time I read about it. Apparently the magazine lifted articles from Martha Stewart, several Food Network celebs, and a DISNEY OWNED web site.

By the time the lawyers are through with her you’ll probably be able to scrape the remains into a thimble and still have room left over for Malkin’s brain.

Too bad ‘Insane Clown Posse’ is already taken otherwise that’s what I’d call these people.

AM I the only one here who got a chubba at the mere thought of those mangoes?

BTW, off topic, but epic, epic flame war ongoing here. Plagiarism doesn’t pay.

Oh, I just went up-thread and found I am LATE TO THE PARTY. But I got to voice the immortal line: ALL YOUR BASTE ARE BELONG TO US. It was worth it.

Disturbingly randon observation for today:

Also, I fear that if I look into McConnell’s eyes too long, he’ll steal my soul. Is that true?

and a DISNEY OWNED web site.

Don’t f—k with the mouse.

Not sure, but I’d definitely advise keeping a hand on your wallet.

So, she says it’s morning, but it’s really sunset with digital fakery?

Yup, but even better, for Sarah the sun rises in the West, not the east.

Yet another silver lining to Tuesday’s Revenge Of Teh War-Scooterz: the eliminationist scumbags on the right have really let their masks slip off in a big way … & like an elephant, the Intertubes never forget.

Get government out of our lives.

We will demand accountability from the United Nations, or withdraw from it.

Such a cunning plan – as a dogmatic evil leftist, I’m shaking in my jackboots now, lemme tell ya!

THIS is who is going to “demand reasoned discourse” as they crush me with their “concrete” facts? A Jewish fan of EuroNazis who thinks Obama’s secret daddy is Malcolm X? Sorry, girl … reasoned discourse just isn’t that into you.

You guys have me in stitches with these crazy yarns you’re always batting around. Every thread, whether it’s sunny or overcast, you have a notion to gather, interface, and needle people — you realize this will warp you. It’s chintzy.

all week, tip, waitress & c.

Not that I’ve minded Tintin’s one-sadly-show for so long, but I hope this presages a return to regular multi-author mockery of the right. There’s far too much crazy for one talented writer to mock, even in shorter form.

Spengler, it’s a little hard to pin down, but this kind of excessive embroidery is becoming a pattern with you.

That plagiarism article is too great. I particularly love how the editor, who claims to have “greatly improved” the original piece, couldn’t write a complete sentence if you spotted him an independent clause and a period.

“We will mandate trips for key liberals in leadership to Iran, Somalia, Darfur, et al, to watch clitorectomies, stonings, and gender apartheid…”

Does anyone else suspect that Pam Geller got riled about female genital mutilation at about the time she became rabidly anti-Islam? Possibly sometime in the neighborhood of 9-11?

I recall bringing up this issue around 1999, sans religion-baiting (which would be nonsensical in this case). Nobody in the room knew what the fuck I was talking about. Nobody suggested we go over and fix those cultures. The only response was to the effect that, cultural practice or not, it was wrong to do that. (I am not saying I was ahead of some curve, far from it, the anecdote depends on who I was talking to.)

Then, no later than the run-up to the Iraq war, the networks started running these breathless segments about the oppression of women in the Middle East. All of a sudden it was our first priority to right these wrongs with bombs etc. Funny how that goal was never met. Pam Geller must be very disappointed with Bush.

Nobody suggested we go over and fix those cultures

Culture fixing: A worthy endeavor.

But wait…why would liberals need to visit Iraq and Somalia to grasp the consequences of fucked-up conservatard policies and ideas put into practice? We already knew what those consequences would be before Iraq was invaded and Somalia became the Libertarian Riviera. We aren’t the ones with “learning” to do in those places.

And also, too: malkin: an untidy woman : SLATTERN

Pam Geller must be very disappointed with Bush.

You should hear what her bush thinks of her.

You know who else hated bush? Yes, that’s right. The one by the house. Hated that thing.

Then, no later than the run-up to the Iraq war, the networks started running these breathless segments about the oppression of women in the Middle East. All of a sudden it was our first priority to right these wrongs with bombs etc. Funny how that goal was never met

Indeed, women’s rights, gay rights and religious minority rights have all gotten significantly worse since Saddam’s downfall. Blogger Rahul Mahajan observed this back in the day and pointed out that it wasn’t like the CPA was shy about interfering with the Iraqi system; apparently, they turned it into a flat tax testing ground at the stroke of a pen. Protecting women, gays and Christians just didn’t matter to anyone’s agenda.

Pam Geller must be very disappointed with Bush.

I hear she’s going to vote for a Brazilian.

I particularly love how the editor, who claims to have “greatly improved” the original piece, couldn’t write a complete sentence if you spotted him an independent clause and a period.

The editor’s a woman. Not that that’s hugely important, but let’s be accurate here.

I’m beginning to wonder now if the title Cook’s Source wasn’t picked so that it sounded like it was affiliated with the America’s Test Kitchen magazine Cook’s Illustrated, making it the print equivalent of a mockbuster from The Asylum.

Protecting women, gays and Christians just didn’t matter to anyone’s agenda.

Of course not. They never cared about women’s rights, look how hard they’ve fought against ’em right here at home. But they’re happy to drag out the women’s rights dog-and-pony show when it makes good theater.

So long as it’s far away from here, where nobody’s going to actually, y’know, check up on ’em or anything.

I particularly love how the editor, who claims to have “greatly improved” the original piece, couldn’t write a complete sentence if you spotted her an independent clause and, assuming she’s not postmenopausal, a period.

I see what you do there.

Excellence in commercials: Korean Air.

Actually,irritating as hell if all you have to watch is CNN. The guy sipping the champagne in that advert is becoming a new hate figure in the lobbey household, right behind that irritating English twat that does the business…..

This is pretty funny. Its directed at Christine O’Donnell but it works for all the “I’m just like you” non elitist candidates.

lobbey – Richard Quest? The line ‘Boy! Boy! I mean to have you … even if it means burglary!’ was actually written about him.

Today, the wealthiest are people who get paid for their performance …

Actually, they’re hedge fund managers not celebrities … but why quibble? Hedgies produce nothing of actual value either and they also create no jobs.

Rick Perry says W will go down in history as a GREAT president. BOOKMARK IT.

An insight into Arnold Alkon’s psychoses.

Ladies and gentlemen, she’s actually *trying* to look her best when she dresses like a cheap transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania!

Men are dogs and women are golddiggers. That’s the way it’s supposed to be, and we like it. Weeeeee LOVE IT.

Did you see how she tried to call Naomi Wolf (who is a fairly attractive and feminine woman in her own right) a gorilla?

Feminists are all ugly, didn’t you know?

Then, no later than the run-up to the Iraq war, the networks started running these breathless segments about the oppression of women in the Middle East. All of a sudden it was our first priority to right these wrongs with bombs etc.

I remember how RAWA was protesting the miserable treatment of women by the Taliban before 9/11, and the wingnuts were all ARGLE BARGLE WE ARE NOT THE WORLD’S POLICEMAN BLART BLART, and same thing with the destruction of the Buddhas. They didn’t give a rat’s ass back then.

Figure I don’t want to be the kind of commenter who goes off topic in the new post’s infancy so I’ll drop this here.
