While reacting to the Hussein Peace Prize announcement with exploding heads, one distinguished loony-nut has actually played the Race card:
I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news.What the hell....if Hitler can get it.....and get it again....
Guns don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people.
If you outlaw guns, only idiots will have guns.
If only the kids, the family dog, the neighbors, the meter reader and the paperboy had guns, a tragedy like THIS could have been prevented:
A Pennsylvania woman who drew national attention for carrying a loaded handgun to her daughter’s soccer game has been shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide, the Lebanon Daily News reports. Meleanie Hain, 31, of Lebanon, Pa., and her husband, Scott Hain, 33, were found dead after a two-hour standoff with police Wednesday night, the AP reports. Hain was dubbed the ‘pistol-packin’ mom’ after wearing her holstered 9mm Glock pistol to her 5-year-old daughter’s soccer match in 2008.Perhaps guns should be mandatory. Maybe President Hussein should pay money to everyone to buy "liberty guns" with vouchers for unlimited "freedom ammo." There is nothing more important in America than good ole American personal security.
The Lebanon Daily News says Lebanon police Chief Daniel Wright is providing little information aside from acknowledging that both were found dead and that he did not think anyone else was involved. The district attorney likewise refuses comment. The paper quotes several neighbors as saying they heard or saw the couple’s children’s running from the house screaming, “Daddy shot Mommy!” shortly before the 911 was called.The paper also quotes one neighbor, Debbie Mise, as saying she feared something bad would eventually happen at the Hain home. “She just wasn’t right,” Mise said of Meleanie Hain, the paper reports. “You don’t bring a gun to a kids’ soccer game, and you don’t wear a gun when you go shopping at Kohl’s.”
"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas - this morning in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize - an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride - unless of course you are the Republican Party.Indeed.
"The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim," Woodhouse said.
WTF??? Bloated troll Rush Limbaugh has been chosen as one of the judges for the 2010 Miss America Pageant, scheduled to be held in Las Vegas on Jan. 30, 2010.
Jebus. That disgusting POS. That's just SKIN-CRAWLING. To add insult to injury, here are some actual comments by the Blobmo that we found on teh interwebs:
"Some of these babes, I'm telling you, like the sexual harassment crowd. They're out there protesting what they actually wish would happen to them sometimes."
"Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk."
"Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?"
“He’s trying to figure out how he can get involved in the deal down there at Duke where the lacrosse team… supposedly, you know, raped, some, uh, hos.”
“You know, there’s a crisis of young man-boy education in the schools. And they did this on purpose, to eliminate male competition in the work force. This is part of feminazi grand plan.”
"How many of you in the secrecy and privacy of your own dreams and hopes would love to be hired as eye candy?"
As the tone of the political discourse among the fringe Reichwingers continues it's downward spiral, the whackjobs continue to stay classy:
The Associated Press reports today that the South Florida-based Southeast Broward Republican Club held an event earlier this week at a gun range where targets included silhouettes of Muslim stereotypes and of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). Among those who attended the event was real estate CEO Robert Lowry, who is vying to replace Wasserman Schultz in 2010.God guns and guts made America free, USA! USA! USA!!!
The public trusts Obama over the Party of No.
Months of republican attacks on President Barack Obama’s health-care proposals appear to have hurt the GOP, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.Ha ha ha ha ha! Suck it, pukes!
Republicans get their lowest grades since Obama was elected on several measures:
* Voters disapprove 64 - 25 percent of the way Republicans in Congress are doing their job, with 42 percent of Republican voters disapproving;
* Only 29 percent think Republicans on Capitol Hill are acting in good faith;
* Voters trust Obama more than Republicans 47 - 31 percent to handle health care;
* Voters 53 - 25 percent have an unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party.
In another sign of how much the planet is rejecting the US President, Obama receives one of the world's most prestigious honors.
President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, in an implied criticism of former resident Il DuceBag, adding “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”Not surprisingly, the Hate America First crowd has a problem with this and thinks he should turn it down, whereupon they will jump all over him for dissing our allies and hating America.
The surprise choice of President Barack Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize drew praise from much of the world Friday even as many pointed out the youthful leader has not yet accomplished much on the world stage.
"In less than a year in office, he has transformed the way we look at ourselves and the world we live in and rekindled hope for a world at peace with itself," ElBaradei said. "He has shown an unshakable commitment to diplomacy, mutual respect and dialogue as the best means of resolving conflicts. He has reached out across divides and made clear that he sees the world as one human family, regardless of religion, race or ethnicity."
Massimo Teodori, one of Italy's leading experts of U.S. history, said the Nobel decision is a clear rejection of the "unilateral, antagonistic politics" of Obama's predecessor, George Dumbass Bush.
"The prize is well deserved after the Bush years, which had antagonized the rest of the world," Teodori said. "President Obama's policy of extending his hand has reconciled the United States with the international community.”
In Damascus, one focal point of the Obama administration's Mideast engagement, officials and analysts greeted the news of the U.S. president's Nobel Peace Prize win warmly. "We in Syria believe that Obama's initiatives have been suitable, and that Syria is now witnessing important steps to correct the relationship with the United States. I believe everyone here will be very happy for Obama."
Macaca! Georgia GOP congressman Nathan Deal is apologizing for using the term "ghetto grandmothers" while talking about all them illegal darkies trying to get citizenship, dagnabbit.
Deal, a candidate for governor, apologized for using the phrase during a campaign stop Saturday. In a statement he says he regretted his choice of words and "in no way meant to offend anyone."
According to a recording, he said: "We got all the complaints of ghetto grandmothers who didn't have birth certificates and all that."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports videotapes of the speech were shared with reporters by two Republican opponents. Deal urged them "to put down their video cameras and stop taking my words out of context."
It is now official. Not only do Rushthuglibots hate America, but they are terrorist sympathizers who hate the troops as well.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are voting against the House/Senate fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill -- because it contains hate crimes provisions designed to protect gays and lesbians.
Boehner, speaking at his weekly press conference Thursday, said the inclusion of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act in the defense bill was "an abuse of power" by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that sought to punish offenders for what they thought -- and not what they did. He accused the speaker of pursuing her social agenda "on the backs" of the troops.
Oh,the memories. When Democrats used to criticize to military spending bills for the Rethug bullshit attatched to them(tak cuts for the rich), they're terrorist sympathizers who can't be trusted on national security issues. When Republicans raise different policy objections to military spending bills, they're just doing their patriotic duty.
Besides, everybody now knows that hate crimes bills lead to gay sex which leads to sex with dead people, children and farm animals which leads to Hitler and teh Nazis!! Or something.No double standard to see here, move along, citizen.
“A victory of [Obama’s] values would mean the end of American civilization as we know it.”
A black hole of hypocrisy was formed yesterday when serial playa and wife-abuser Newt Gingrich opened his blubbery piehole and said something stupid. Again.
In an interview with the fawning conservaturd nationalrepukeonline, the playdoh-ish ‘former’ playboy – now “directly infused with Christ” (eww) -- piously discusses the importance of religion while blasting the left and the Kenyan Muslim socialist commie President who is destroying Saint Ronnie of Reagan’s America. Like eight years of Bush/Cheney never happened, with their myriad of GOP scandals, illegal hankypanky and other ethics probs.
Oh, and Newt? If Americans did not want to have a Prez Obama in office they could have voted in McCain, or Hillary, or Romney, or any of the other contenders back then. So screw you, jerkoff.

Where’s the fire? Argentina?
When a Highway Patrol trooper told a driver Tuesday that there was no good reason for him to blaze down a busy stretch of South Carolina interstate at 85 mph, he got a surprising reply: "Tell him that."The ‘him’? Adulterous SC governor/hypocrite Mark Sanford.
The governor's driver did not get a ticket.Snort. Right.
It's a new controversy for Sanford. And the episode will remind the public of criticism from Sanford's office in 2006 of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer's speeding. The governor's spokesman at the time said Sanford "believe[s] very strongly that preferential treatment should never be a factor when enforcing the law."
As rare as finding a spine in a Democrat is spotting reasonableness in a republican’t --
The scene is familiar: Republicans criticizing Washington's inaction on health care. Only now, they're blaming Republicans.Well, at least until Rush Limpbag opens his big fat maw and tells them otherwise.
Concerned that their party may prevent progress on one of the nation's most intractable problems, several governors and former Washington power brokers are calling on fellow Republicans in Congress to help pass a health care bill.
"We as Republicans have got to stand up and say what we're for instead of just what we're against," said RINO Tommy Thompson, who may never be elected for anything ever again, along with the rest of his hateful party.
As former Republican congressman Mickey Edwards puts it: "The grown-ups are beginning to speak up."
This is beautiful. Glenn Beck is absolutely PWN3D by the lawyer for glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990 when he tries to it shut down (by going through the World Intellectual Property Organization. After no US court would touch it).
The attorney for the parody site, Marc Randazza:
There is no indication that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to confuse anyone searching for Mr. Beck’s own website, nor that anyone was unintentionally confused – even initially. Only an abject imbecile could believe that the domain name would have any connection to the Complainant.Why DOESN’T Glennbo want the truth of whether he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 to come out? And what about all those poor little goats?? More awesomeness here.
We are not here because the domain name could cause confusion. We do not have a declaration from the president of the international association of imbeciles that his members are blankly staring at the Respondent’s website wondering “where did all the race baiting content go?” We are here because Mr. Beck wants Respondent’s website shut down. He wants it shut down because Respondent’s website makes a poignant and accurate satirical critique of Mr. Beck by parodying Beck’s very rhetorical style.
Desperately grasping to his very last shred of credibility and relevancy, hypocrite and adulterer, Newt Gingrich takes a ride on the crazy train.
Obama, “is a radical in the sense that the victory of those values would mean the end of American civilization as we know it.”This hemmorhoid infested asshole is still alive? His brand of morality is the same as Ronald Reagan's "the wealthy power elite are better than you and can do anything they want" mentality. Ground control to Major Fuckface: So, it's American to be a massive flaming hypocrite, like say trying to prosecute someone for lying about a blowjob while you're cheating on your wife?
Let's take a look at the current Rushthuglibot mindset shall we?
While pontificating to the corpse of Larry King, the queen of batshit crazy Michelle Bachmann totally redefines the term
"I have no reason to doubt that he wasn't (sic) born in the United States. I have none," Bachmann said (She later said clearly that he's shown his birth certificate). "The only place that this issue comes up is on the left. You don't hear people on the right bringing this issue up. Honest--"Bachmann also insisted that Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are the only men in America that she has ever went down on......while masturbating and fantasizing about Ronald Reagan, so technically, she's still a virgin. At which time, the corpse of Larry King said, "Hey what about me?"
19 more advertisers bail from Beck.
Via ColorOfChange, the full list of the new companies ditching the Glenn Beck hatefest on Faux: AmMed Direct, Citrix Online, Concord Music Group, Diageo, Eggland's Best, Equifax, Eulactol USA (producer of Flexitol), GetARoom.com, Hoffman La Roche (maker of BONIVA), Metropolitan Talent Management, ooVoo, Overture Films, Scarguard, Schiff Nutrition (maker of Tiger's Milk and Fi-Bar), Seoul Metropolitan Government, Subaru, Toyota-Lexus, British supermarket chain Waitrose and Woodland Power Products, Inc.
Two companies -- Waitrose and Metropolitan Talent Management -- pulled their ads not only from Beck's show, but from Fox News [sic] in general.-- Sweet. More here.
"We are appalled at what's going on," said John Scher, co-CEO of Metropolitan Talent Management, in a phone conversation with ColorOfChange.org.. "Metropolitan Talent Management is 100% dedicated to not buy advertising on any part of Fox News."
A GOP congressional campaign committee fundraising email says women better shut the fuck up, get back in the kitchen, and start makin' the menfolk some sammiches:
“General Stanley McChrystal, the top American commander in Afghanistan, rejected a call to scale down troops last week and reasserted the need for a strategy that will lead to victory in Afghanistan. That wasn’t good enough for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi…OK, the pukes have managed to piss off people of color, the young, gays, anyone of French descent, non-Christians, and now women. Heckuva jorb, asswipes!
“If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place. “
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who is close to Pelosi, could barely contain her anger.
"It's evident they long for the days when a woman's place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency... But it's not surprising, coming from a party that's 80 percent male and 100 percent white," said Wasserman Schultz.
A new poll shows though people are still worried about the war, healthcare, and the economy, they still approve of the President: favorable numbers for Obama are going UP.
An Associated Press-GfK poll says 56 percent of those surveyed in the past week approve of Obama's job performance, up from 50 percent in September. It's the first time since he took office in January that his rating has gone up.What's that, repugs? I couldn't hear you over the sound of your toilets flushing.
Obama's job approval has also gone up among independents. Fifty-three percent said they approved of the president's job performance, a nine point increase since September.

Medical researcher who exposed the Bush misadministration's misuse of science for political ends is awarded Noble prize for Delayed but So So Sweet Justice.
Elizabeth Blackburn, former Bush critic, is one of the three American winners of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
From 2001 to 2004 [Blackburn] served as one of only three full-time biomedical researchers on Bush's "President's Council on Bioethics." In 2004, she was fired from the council, along with another member who disagreed with the administration's position on some of the relevant issues.Eat it, Pretzaldouche.
Blackburn spoke out about the Council, demonstrating that despite its written mission to be a body that monitors research developments and recommends appropriate guidelines, it was really just a tool for parroting the Bush administration's positions on certain hot-button issues -- particularly embryonic stem cell research. Thus, Blackburn played a central and important role in revealing the extent of the political interference in science that pervaded the Bush misadministration.
Via Media Matters, The Hate America First Party of No hates America, our troops. Except for the few, the proud, that don’t:
The blog Little Green Footballs responded to [conservatards] celebrating Chicago's defeat by stating that "they're openly celebrating when America loses, just because Barack Obama is President. And even though this Olympic bid was also promoted by George W. Bush. This completely puts the lie to the excuse that those who say they want Obama to fail really mean they want his policies to fail. No, they want Obama himself to fail, and if that means America fails too, they're just fine with that."Word. And thank you.
Joe Scarborough on the October 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe: "What would have happened if liberals had cheered against the United States getting the Olympics?" Responding to a clip of Limbaugh celebrating that "the world has rejected Obama," Scarborough added, "I would like Rush Limbaugh to tell me ... who's he helping there other than Rush Limbaugh? Because I will tell you, middle Americans that swing elections see that, they go, 'My God, the Republicans have gone off the deep end.' … The fact President Obama failed makes me respect him more for taking the chance, and the fact many right-wing figures opposed the President's mission shows just how narrow-minded partisanship makes us all. [W]hat we saw from some conservative corners regarding the President's failed Olympics bid was just plain stupid."
The conservatards at Conservapedia are rewriting the Bible – the infallible word of God -- in order to remove all its commie socialist "liberal bias.”
“[B]ecause if there's one thing that made Jesus puke, it was social justice!”-- MeMeMeMeMe.

Bwaahahahaha!
The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll.Ha ha ha ha ha! Eat it, pukes.
It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan which completed the top five nations in the Nation Brand Index (NBI).
"What's really remarkable is that in all my years studying national reputation, I have never seen any country experience such a dramatic change in its standing as we see for the United States for 2009," said Simon Anholt, the founder of NBI, which measured the global image of 50 countries each year.

"Sarah Palin's 400-page memoir is going to be released on November 17th, and it's called 'Going Rogue: An American Life.' And critics say that it starts out okay, it gets really exciting and then confusing, and then the last 100 pages are blank." -- Jimmy Fallon

"Sarah Palin's new autobiography doesn't come out until November, but it is already No. 1 on Amazon. And if you go to the website, it says, 'People who bought this book also bought no other books in their entire life.'" -- Jimmy Fallon
"It's a big, huge book. But when you go into the store, you can use that big book to step up so you can reach a better book." -- David Letterman
"But the book has got a lot of beautiful pictures of Russia that she took from her front porch." -- David Letterman
Erstwhile uber-‘patriotic’ rethugs are putting party before country. Paul Krugman adds:
So what did we learn from this moment [when the International Olympic Committee rejected Chicago’s bid to be host of the 2016 Summer Games]? For one thing, we learned that the modern conservative movement, which dominates the modern Republican Party, has the emotional maturity of a bratty 13-year-old.
But more important, the episode illustrated an essential truth about the state of American politics: at this point, the guiding principle of one of our nation’s two great political parties is spite, pure and simple. If Republicans think something might be good for the president, they’re against it — whether or not it’s good for America.
How did one of our great political parties become so ruthless, so willing to embrace scorched-earth tactics even if so doing undermines the ability of any future administration to govern?
The key point is that ever since the Reagan years, the Republican Party has been dominated by radicals — ideologues and/or apparatchiks who, at a fundamental level, do not accept anyone else’s right to govern.
“I think it's getting used to it -- my eyes are getting used to it”: How Faux Nooze’s tearful dipwad Glenn Beck gets all weepy for a photo shoot -- with the help of some Vicks Vapo-Rub:

Glenn Beck is such an asshat even our allies in England are taking their money elsewhere.
Waitrose, Britain's most upmarket supermarket chain, has pulled advertisements from Fox Noise after one of its repugnant troglodytes called US President Obama a "racist", a report said Monday.Heh.
"We take the placement of our ads in individual programmes very seriously, ensuring the content of these programmes is deemed appropriate for a brand with our values," a supermarket spokesman said in what we believe to be a form of English.
"We have withdrawn all Waitrose advertising from the Fox News channel with immediate effect and for all future TV advertising campaigns."
‘Barack Obama got more concessions from Iran in 7 1/2 hours than the former administration got in 8 years of saber-rattling.’
Delegates of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany met with representatives of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for 7 and a half hours on Thursday for talks on Iran's nuclear research program.Juan Cole is correct but naïve. The Bush/Cheney misadministration was never working for any sort of concessions with Iran – the only ‘progress’ they were hoping for was a solid excuse to go in there, humungous guns blazing. But still.
Amazingly, there were signs of significant progress even on the first day, which most seasoned observers had not expected…

Rooting against America: Beck, other conservatives cheer elimination of Chicago's Olympic bid -- conservative media celebrate Chicago's elimination, bash President Obama.
How very patriotic. Jesus Christ.
To help the US win the 2016 Olympics bid, Republicans put politics aside to join the Preside… oh, screw it.
"If they knew what brand of toothpaste he uses, they'd be against it," said Dennis Goldford, a political scientist at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. "It's like the old song that said, 'Whatever it is, I'm against it.' If Obama said the sun came up in the east, somebody would show up with a study arguing against it."The Fox Noise attack machine smears Chicago as a violent city unsuitable for the Olympics, blasts the President’s efforts to bring the venue to the US, and suggests that he’s indulging in some kind of quid pro quo political mob-boss payback thing in doing so.
Repugs are currently viewed more negatively than any minority party in the previous four midterms.
The CBS results (not shown) are even more dramatic. In June, when the question was most recently asked, Republican net favorables were -30% and Democratic net favorables were 25%, which swamps the comparable results from the previous cycles.
In short, there's no question that the GOP party brand is in worse shape than any opposition party in recent memory.
Faced with growing evidence that a man may have been wrongfully executed in his state, rethug Texas governor Rick Perry does the only moral thing: remove three appointees from their jobs to cancel an investigation.
Gov. Rick Perry was blasted Wednesday after he swept three appointees from their jobs just two days before they were set to critically examine a flawed arson investigation that contributed to the execution of a Corsicana man.
The hearing of the Texas Forensic Science Commission, scheduled for Friday in Irving, was abruptly canceled by the new chairman the governor he chose, Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley. He is considered one of the most conservative, hard-line prosecutors in Texas.
Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck compared the shake-up to the Watergate scandal's "Saturday Night Massacre," when embattled President Richard Nixon sought the removal of a special prosecutor investigating his administration.
“Rep. Grayson, of the ‘Die quickly’ speech, essentially tells butthurt Republicans to suck it; suck it long and hard”-- from fark, actual story here.
In a surprising turn of events, girlyman milquetoast blasts Beck, birthers:
Describing Fox Nooze host Glenn Beck as a cynic whose show is antithetical to American values, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham also characterized birthers as "crazy."
Speaking at a conference in DC, Graham said, "Only in America can you make that much money crying," before skipping off to his biweekly Cub Scout meeting.
ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
Even as Republicans pummel President Obama's health care proposals, some GOP leaders worry their party is being hurt by a Democratic counterattack: Where is your plan?The next to the best part? The last sentence:
Republican leaders chose not to draft their own comprehensive bill, focusing instead on attacking Democrats' plans as too costly and bureaucratic. Some prominent Republicans now fear they are getting tagged as the "party of no," and they want the GOP to offer more solutions to the nation's health care problems.
Speaking to union activists recently about health care, Obama taunted his Republican critics. "What's your answer?" he asked. "What's your solution?"
"You know what?" he continued. "They don't have one."
Perhaps the most comprehensive list of GOP health proposals is in the "Republican Solutions Handbook" assembled by the House Republican Conference, although it covers only one page.
A federal judge has ordered the US Justice Department to release “significant portions of statements” powermad traitor Dick Cheney made to the FBI about the Valerie Plame case.
Big whoop. That’s different than ordering the release of “portions of significant statements,” so what we’re liable to get is shit like “I can’t recall… I don’t believe so… I don’t remember… That doesn’t ring a bell, you impotent commie… Do I have to shoot a bitch?!” And “Why do you hate America?”
Well, we'll see.
Culture of corruptitude --
Conservative pissant Gov. Mark Sanford has asked the South Carolina Supreme Court to block a state ethics panel investigating him from releasing its findings to lawmakers who could decide to remove him from office.WHAT defense?
The slimy adulterer, who vowed to fight "tooth and nail" any effort to remove his greasy hands from the official SC Governor’s Private Pissoir Key, argues that releasing the report to lawmakers could be used for political purposes and could compromise his defense.
Attorney General Henry McMaster asked the Ethics Commission to review Sanford's use of state and private planes, his purchase of business-class airfare and his use of campaign funds in order to make private boinking trips to his mistress in Argentina.Yeah, defend THAT, asswipe.
From this afternoon's NYT:
"Senator's Aid to Mistress's Husband Raises Ethics Flags
Experts say that Senator John Ensign may have violated ethics
laws by helping an aide get work after having an affair with
his wife, BUT they're not really sure and are studying the entire subject
and re-examining what exactly "ethics" are, literally, in the whole literal
authentic sense, for clarity's sake and purpose." (sort of)
No shit??!? Really????
Did we really need to pull in "experts" to examine this and make a determination????
Ensign is a total whore and SHOULD BE FIRED, like months ago, when this sordid little affair was first exposed. But let's be double sure and study the living shit out of it first, maybe call in a panel, write reports after hearings and investigations JUST IN CASE WE MAKE A MISJUDGEMENT OR MISTAKE OR MISSCALL OR SOMETHING GOT MISCONSTRUED, OR SIMPLY MISSED OR SOMETHING............

There's us -- and those damn knuckledragging asswipes. Tom Friedman has an epiphany:
[S]omething very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination.
Mr. Obama is now having his legitimacy attacked by a concerted campaign from the right. They are using everything from smears that he is a closet “socialist” to calling him a “liar” in the middle of a joint session of Congress to fabricating doubts about his birth in America and whether he is even a citizen.. And these attacks are not just coming from the fringe. Now they come from Lou Dobbs on CNN and from members of the House of Representatives.
Even more awesomely, they use the ‘L’ word:
Last night Fox News [sic] continued its disregard for the facts in an attempt to smear the Administration's efforts to win the Olympics for the United States. In the past, hosting the Olympics has been a source of pride and unity for the country, but once again Fox's Glenn Beck program has shown that nothing is worthy of respect if it can be used as part of a partisan attack to boost ratings…More like this ALL OVER THE AIR please.
For even more Fox lies, check out the latest "Truth-O-Meter" feature from Politifact that debunks a false claim about a White House staffer that continues to be repeated by Beck and others on the network.

The only surprising thing about hearing that “Law & Order” was going to take on the Bush administration over “torture” is the realization that “Law & Order” is still on the air.I mean, what kind of American watches cop shows??? Jeez!
So now “Law & Order” is taking on the Bush administration and, by extension, all of those who have fought so hard to keep our country safe from terrorism since 9/11.**sniff!** Damn commies! Honey, put down my slippers and bring me my flag…
I’m in awe at these iconoclastic artists’ bravery and courage in forthrightly expressing exactly the same views held by all of their friends and associates.Not like us rightwingnut teabaggers, right, Rush? Glennbo?
If you want to tear this nation apart, it would be hard to think of a more effective way to do it.{** blink ** What?? – Ed.}
”Law & Order” has once again managed to rip a critical story from the headlines, but it’s not the story its writers think. It is the story of one of the stupidest and scariest trends in American politics today – the criminalization of political opposition.Those damn communofascist socialist Hitler-lovers!!!! Where’s muh gun?!
Retired generals and admirals say that Dick and Liz Cheney are a couple of assholes.
Trigger–happy psycho Dick Cheney and his harpy daughter Liz are scaremongering about the dangers of closing Guantanamo, say people who actually had the courage to serve.
“It’s up to all of us to say these arguments advanced by Cheney and his acolytes are nonsense and that really what they’re doing is undermining our national security by delaying the date at which Guantanamo is closed,” said retired Brig. Gen. James Cullen, a former chief judge of the Army’s Court of Criminal Appeals.Hopefully in this case the general means actual physical, redmeatthudding asskicking pounding.
“We take a setback every time somebody, whether it’s the vice president or his daughter comes out and says the things that they say,” said retired Gen. David Maddox, a former Army commander-in-chief for Europe. “We have to get out there again and just keep pounding.”
