Oh Please No

No No No No No: The greatest saga in the history of mankind that is Late Night Shots continues, as they strike a deal with a “reality TV” production company to film rich, stupid, racist, white, Republican Georgetown douchebags in their semi-natural habitat of one of three bars in the District they all attend to [...]

Hillary’s Fear Ad and Obama’s Response

Hillary’s latest ad is badass. The essential equation is “Won’t somebody think of the children” + fear. The straight up honesty involved in such a tact is refreshing. Hillary Clinton is going to manipulate the shit out of you running for office, and if elected, will continue to do so. How very McCain “liberal conservative” [...]

Republicans Support the Troops

This striking image is from Harper’s (via Ruins of Empire): It really is worth a thousand words.  Despite literally drowning in their blood, they just keep mindlessly repeating “support the troops” without budging even an inch to actually save them and end this war.

Obama: The White Supremacist Backlash

UPDATE: See my post over at Revolutionary Act on Assassination Plots. Extremist groups are ratcheting up the racism aimed at Obama: With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the [...]

Stormfront Users: Hate and Intelligence Don’t Mix (Who Knew?)

John Ubele (who was too cowardly to allow any of my comments on his post to show up on his site), decided to post a link to this blog on Stormfront (a gathering place for white supremacists, neo-nazis, and other people who like to blame their problems on minorities). Users there added their take on [...]

If You Lie, Lie Boldly

Conservatives can’t take a straight argument without twisting their facts to try and avoid a loss. GMH writes (in a subtly titled post over at BoldColorConservative): An individual with the web moniker of Dan (Fitness) has been engaged in some anti-American, intolerant and bigoted hate speech in the comments section of our blog (see below). [...]

The Deft White Supremacist

The inaptly named “Patritoic Activist” put up a post on Obama’s economic stimulus package.  He titled it “Obama bribes voters”.  The actual post was mostly innocuous: Democrat Barack Obama said Wednesday that as president he would spend $210 billion to create jobs in construction and environmental industries, as he tried to win over economically struggling [...]

Democrats vs Republicans: A Helpful Guide

This struck me as an accurate assesment (August Pollack, emphasis mine): Begrudgingly, I have to give credit to the Republicans for being much more open in the primary process. The Democrats engage in this merry dance of triangulating, backtracking on their previous votes, refusing to actually take a definitive stand on anything, and generally just [...]

Iraq: More Lies and Damn Statistics

JLG is getting kinda goofy with the numbers game: Just so you know what we’re dealing with here, I thought I might share a reader’s comment with me about Baghdad’s per capita murder rate being less than Detroit, Michigan.  “mdking” writes: JLG, you are manipulating facts to suit your ideology! Just muster the humility for [...]

Iraq: Just 5 Bodies a Day!

Sometimes the definitions we work with really do matter.  “What do you mean when you say ‘Livable’?” is a question worth answering.  In the discussion surrounding a posted response to JLG’s bar for success in Iraq, I stated: No JLG, the country is not livable again. Its come under a repression incarnation of sharia law. [...]

Republicans for Hillary?

National Review (via HuffPost): Two More Democratic Votes in the VA Primary   [David Freddoso] From a reader: My wife and I have never voted for anything left of Republican, frequently voting on the Conservative party line when available.  Yet today, we both voted for Hillary in the VA primary.  Why?  Because it seems McCain has [...]

Obama Taking Early Lead in Northern Virginia

With polls yet to close, Obama is commanding double digit leads at polls in Northern Virginia. We’re also seeing Democratic turnout beating Republican turnout by a factor of 7 to 1 at some polling locations.

McCain: No You Can’t

Hot on the heals of discovering one McCain satire music video, I find another one at WriteChic Press: Barely Political put this parody together today with the help of the extraordinary Lee Stranahan and Alan Bernhoft. It’s edgier than the parody put out by the LA comics. It makes its point with a lot more [...]

The Conservative Bar for Iraq

Is sure set low (BoldColorConservative) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) has again called the Iraq surge “a failure.” Pelosi needs to read a letter written by an al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu-Tariq to top terror leaders proclaiming the organization to be in “extraordinary crisis,” and how the the defection of Sunnis to fight with [...]

McCain and Rove

Ok, not one to link to Fox, but holy shit: John McCain says that Karl Rove’s help and advice is welcome aboard the Straight Talk Express. We’ll be hard pressed to find a more powerful condemnation and ironic statement this entire campaign season.
