Good morning all. A wonderful 64 at 6am, the Sun just stirring out of slumber, fixin’ to get ready to think about getting up. Lots of twinkling stars grace an ebony sky. Dew’s on everything, turning to sparkles in the early rays. Ground mist rises etherially over all, a silver gauze barely seen through until he rises higher and inhales it one breath at a time. Clear blue sky takes center stage, and it’s open window time at least until the day heats up. Soft windchime comments drift over the patio in the light, barely stirring NE breeze. Leaves move lazily in time with the winchimes. Hanging baskets sway gently. The mares browse in the pasture. Valentine enjoys his early morning nap before venturing out, and Mariposa chases her favorite toys for a bit before draping herself on the desk for a quick nap. For this wonderful start to the day, thank you, Lord.
I like Adee’s morning poetics. I’m gonna give it a shot:
I awake at 9:45 to a ringing phone and a mouthful of red hair. While taking a leak I notice the crape myrtle blossoms swaying in the breeze near that white trash lady with the yippy dog. Damn it’s bright out. The fridge holds a cornucopia of breakfast: leftover Kung Pao, cold pizza, strawberry milk.
Rays trickle through the miniblinds and I think: “One of these days I’m gonna shoot that dog.”
Texpat, Squawk, From yesterday’s OC (which I just read), thank you for the info about what happened to the very delightful lady’s blog and how the gentlemen here came to her aid. A pox on those who attacked her and it.
Matt, all with bacons salt? I’ve had my cars oil changed and tires rotated and dug out the last bougenvillia ( sp too lazy to look up) in my yard. New rule. NO plants with thorns.
Adee, it is a glorious morning. I’ve got the back door wide open and the pooches are busy going in and out. I should clean the interior, but really want to be outside. Since I am in charge… I’ll be outside.
Remember the botched drug raid a month ago when cops in Maryland burst into the house of a small-town mayor and shot both his dogs, only to find out they had the wrong guy?
The PD’s “internal investigations” took up the case after the mayor complained about being the victim of their raid. Well, guess what. They cleared all the officers involved of any wrongdoing. Just like they always do.
He said this while attending a fundraiser hosted by long-haired ex-prettyboy Bon Jovi, incidentally. Then they went out shopping for “outfits.”
He’s smeared her in the most vile ways through his surrogates, and claimed she was a fluffybrained muffinheaded chillbilly bumpkin beauty queen from “Wasilly” Alaska, and now he’s up there resolutely swearing he won’t let a 110 pound woman “bully” him?
What are you afraid she’s going to do to you, Stacy? Adorable you to death?
While reading that, it struck me why I don’t like Barack Obama. Not on a polticial level, that’s all policy. I’m talking about why I don;t like him on a more visceral personal level.
It’s because he’s a Bully. He’s the Scott Farkus of modern American politics. The guy who tlaks a lot, but does nopthing and has a little guy following him around trying to make him look like more than he is. He’s the Equipment Manager on the High School football team who acts like he’s the Quarterback. Unlike the Quarterback, he has no real acheivement to speak of (and he got the job because of who his freinds are), so he shoves kids in the hall and knocks thier books to the floor as a substitute, knowing he can never actually do anything like what the Quarterback has done.
I’ve never liked Bullies, not only because they beat up on those whom they figure they can “take,” but also because they are usually the types that will whimper and cry if someone they figure they can take fights back and gets in a few licks in the process.
And all it took to get him to do that was a few words from a 140 pound female former Mayor of a hick town in Alaska named “Wasilly.” At least, that’s what he said she was. Now he’s crying about how mean she is.
Not only is Barack Obama an empty suit, he’s a Paper Tiger as well.
If he can’t take this like a Man, how in the Cornbread Hell is he going to be able to deal with the Taliban?
And if anyone thinks this is an isolated incident or an honest mistake, these botched no-knock raids on innocent people in the wrong house happen all the time. Here’s another one from last week:
Next Thursday the Cato Institute is doing a panel on the botched cop raid in Maryland. Don’t know if they’ll have web stream, but if they do it will probably be here.
This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Yesterday evening, as my mother-in-law prepared dinner and I changed clothes hurrying to head to a community meeting, a heavily-armed county SWAT team burst through our living room door and shot and killed both of our dogs. There were loud voices. In the sights of two high-caliber weapons, I was ushered downstairs in only my boxer shorts before I was bound and forced to kneel on the floor. My mother-in-law was bound face down in the kitchen. The dead body of my bigger and older dog, Payton, laid in a pool of blood on the other side of the living room…
…About three-and-a-half hours passed before they acknowledged that they had found nothing to connect us to the box, but could not be 100 certain whether or not we were involved. The package alone was enough to arrest us all, they said, but they would not so long as we continued to cooperate.
Then they left. The broken front door remained open and unsecured. Blood from my dogs was pooled and tracked throughout the house. Our belongings were pulled from drawers, closets, and trunks and tossed about, piled in the middle of rooms and on tables and beds.
#15 Shakie, that’s the only thing I remember from his speech too. A new expanded program to pay and retrain individuals who loose their jobs. What angers me most is, we don’t get a speech about what any politician is going to do. We get the speech that will attract the most mad liberals, and people who just can’t ever make up their minds. To the liberals who are mad………..see we love you, and we will take care of you. To the undecideds, I will protect you. I’m still voting McCain, but he’s no conservative republican. He’s a maverick. Thank God for Sarah Palin!
I was running late for work yesterday and listened to Laura Ingraham interview a member of Barack Obama’s Campaign staff smearing Sarah Plain, despite the fact that Barack has instructed his cultists not to do so. I didn’t even expect bhim to get fired, as he should have been if Barack is serious about the instructions he gives, as any competent Leader would do. I wasn’t even going to comment on it, the meme is getting a bit tired and Sarah can obviously handle this kind of bullying better than Sissyman Obama.
But then, In foundn out who Howard Gutman is, and what he’s done for Obama. Read the resume here.
William Moore on September 6th, 2008 at 12:21 pm 8
That is one odd characterization. Did the equipment manager beat you up when you were in high school or something?
#21 Sarge, if that is true, the last bit of info needs to go national to Laura or Rush. Good grief! So, he’s lobbyist of the year, bundler, and Bill Ayers attorney. Don’t you just love it! I tell ya, it’s who ya know.

It’s good that you are getting all that pent up frustration out of your system, even if it is 40+ years after the fact.
Once again, please direct your comments to a point in a post. Do not engage in personal attacks. LST ModNS
HIllary’s problem, if she wants to run in 2012, is to not to be seen as teh reason Baby Barack is defeated. She has to be seen as helpiong him where he really needs it.
I think telling him that he can fight the mean girl from the hick town who beat him up by himself does that for her.
While I do appreciate the Moderator admonishing the young man and making sure that the rules of decorum and good taste are being followed (unlike Barack Obama when members of his Staff smear other candidates by unfairly bringing the family into the fray), I can fight my own battles (like wise, unlike Brack Obama).

Of course, you are correct.
And I know that, unlike Barack Obama, Benzion actually has a Sword of Righteousness and will actually use it if someone ignores the rules he has laid down, reardless of whther he shares thier political views of if they are a big contributor.
Has nayone noticed that John McCain fired Phil Gramm for sahying something nowhere near as offensive as what Howard Gutman said about Sarah Palin?
Or that the media made a big deal out of Gramm’s statements and the only place we hear about Gutman’s is on a Conservative blog?
Couldn’t we at least see Gutman go on a Conservative Radio Show and beg forgiveness the way Don Imus did?
And McCain hadn’t even made a rule about it when he did.
# 30
Hillary is gone, gone.
Thanks to Obama who came from nowhere!
Whether you love him or hate him he has accomplished something unheard of in american politics.
McCain was quick to acknowledge and I hope the Republican Party does not underestimate him.
Granted, he has no qualifications, but when was the last president elected on qualifications?
Politics, today is more about style than substance and you can go back atleast till 50’s when Ike Eisenhower was elected.
#30 Sarge, Oooh right you are that the PUMAs are roaylly ticked with Obama’s treatment of Hillary and are transferring that to his henchmen/women’s treatment of Sarah. The ladies are putting on the warpaint and beating the drums, gathering forces of the Sisterhood, accepting male cohorts, and recruiting more Sisters regardless of affiliation. Right on.
Ladies, have at it. Sarah can show you how to field dress a donkey. This is gonna be fun to watch.
Rahman on September 6th, 2008 at 4:02 pm # 37
Sally, are you saying that Sarah did not say those words?
denial the truth is equally bad!
Noodles;
This is a joke, right?
A claim is made on a blog called “LA Progressive” and ther source is, well, the source is—dang, just read it yourself:
According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively
Now, I know that sourcing your smear to “Lucille, the waitress” is pretty durn creative.
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.
Apparently they are deranged enough to ignore the fact that her husband is Yupik Eskimo (not to be confused with Aleutes and Innuits).
Which means her children has Eskimo blood as well.
“That is not change, come on,” Obama continued. “I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up. You can’t just make stuff up. We have a choice to make and the choice is clear.”
You folks who got dragged into Bush Derangement Syndrome back in the days when there was little to no Conservative Blogosphere ought to pay attention to the nature and the tenor of the smears that are going on now regarding Sarah Palin.
It’s deja vu all over again.
But this time there’s enough of us involved that we can fight them and you can get facts in contravention that you were not apprised of 4 years ago.
Hey hunters, don’t forget to buy your duck stamps.
WASHINGTON - People calling a federal phone number to order duck stamps are instead greeted by a phone-sex line, due to a printing error the government says would be too expensive to correct.
The carrier card for the duck stamp transposes two numbers, so instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24.
#40 Rahman the quote has been attributed to a left-wing nut job commenter and the blog where it has appeared has apologized for it. So yes, she did not say that. She didn’t get to where she is with an 80% approval rating without knowing every word she says is important. The liberal media has been beating the bushes in her home town. Believe me, if she had a bad mouth, we would know by now. They love her and we do too.
Quite a lot when you look at them all in one place—especially once you refelct that she’s been the Veep pick fo just a week.
What strikes me the most is that most of them, are both:
A. Untrue
and
B. Seem to be designed to make her unpalatable to Conservatives, particularly the caricature of Religious Conservatives that Liberals have in their minds.
Guess they were just trying to help us like som many of the folk who come here and tell us this stuff.
It’s of a type, though, that’s getting monotonous from the Lefties:
Sarah Palin’s now famous “lipstick” joke from her acceptance speech Wednesday night is generating lots of buzz in Democratic circles and the liberal blogosphere. Not because of how funny it was, but because of its similarity to another (in)famous one-liner delivered by controversial evangelical pastor John Hagee.
Palin, who, like Hagee, is an evangelical Christian, had Republicans inside St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center doubled over laughing when she said, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”
Hagee, in his book “What Every Man Wants in a Woman,” wrote, “Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick.”
I figure we’ll see that typo referenced many times because as I understand it, the tramps stamps are printed once a year.
My employer, like many other large outfits, has a toll-free number for IT support. The last time I called it, I erroneously dialed 1-800… instead of 1-888… and was connected to a phone sex service.
When I called the correct number, it was answered by a person with a thick Indian accent who identified himself as “Butch.” I gotta say that those folks try their best, but in hindsight realize that the folks at the first number I dialed stood a better chance of being helpful.
If I ever retire, I’d like to open a restaurant that specializes in Indian cuisine. I think I’ll name it, “The Help Desk.”
#59 Bob, I always ask where the person I am speaking to is located - and many times they are in India. Never quite understood the reason for that. Isn’t it expensive for them in India to accept a toll free call? Surely they can’t pay their workers so little as to make up the difference of what it would cost to pay English speaking employees here. Any ideas?
If Barack is so predictable that McCain, a washed up old man verging on the edge of being a PTSD Instigated Rage Maniac and standing at death’s own door, can get inside his OODAc Loop with such precision and regularity, what kinds of implications does that have for Obama’s negotiations with foreign governments?
#61 LizBV, As I understand it, the cost of a transcontinental phone call is much less than it used to be. I think this is a result of the telecom industry’s conversion to digital transmission methods, and the increased global demand for internet bandwidth.
Tedtam, yes, that certainly will backfire for any but the most hateful, young, irrational types. I can’t see many folks at 40 getting a charge out of that.
That is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen on the internet. Unfortunately, if you click the “flag blog” on that one, there’s nothing in the list that would make Blogger take it down. Perhaps the best thing to do is to call as much attention to it as possible so that folks can see for themselves to what vile depths liberals have sunk.
#60 Sarge, Man that was good “OODA”, do you think that the young whipper snapper has picked a fight with the WRONG old War Horse. Something to be said for wisdom, it can only be obtain over time.
#61 Liz, a lot of over-seas communication is by satellite, but that is expensive. Some time in the 90’s several different people saw the potential for an old fashioned undersea cable, only this time with fiber optics, MUCH greater bandwidth. Also the materials that make up the cables are more durable. Several companies invested lots of money in the cables as they watched the internet take off. But the internet growth leveled off in the late 90’s and all of them went bankrupt. They had a great idea but were 10 years ahead of their time and ran out of capital before they could get enough people to sign up. The same thing happened in Satellite phone service. Someone bought the cables at a fire sale and marketed them to telemarketers. The calls cost pennies each and they pay the people very little compared to here. They have classes in Middle school where they teach English and our culture, they watch movies to try and pick up on accent and dialect; they encourage them to pick a place in this country and study it and pretend that that is where they’re calling from.
This explains it pretty good; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable
The new cables are about 3″ in diameter the first ones were 6-10″ thick and covered with steel armor, sometimes breaking under their own weight as they were spooled out.
Super Dave, maybe Hal is jealous of your super title? I think that explains it. IF your name were mediocre Dave, he wouldn’t have a problem I think you need to compliment Hal.( Don’t refer to pajamas or beehive boxers)
Good morning all. Another good weather day ahead at least until the wind shifts south; 64 again and a ground mist curtain forms at Sunrise. Blue sky as we only see in after a front. That shall pass, unfortunately, and late summer resume. But it’s on the run now, take heart. Thank you, Lord.
A crash of something landing on the floor in the other end of the house followed a mere second later by a white streak flying down the hallway can only mean the two are connected…. Backtracking thataway to investigate reveals a wooden kitty cutout left its perch on the windowsill and belly flopped to the bathroom floor, with help from Mariposa the white streak. Wooden kitty replaced undamaged. Mariposa peers out from a safe spot in the bedroom, looking conflicted. Reassure her that this is not serious enough to diminish one of her 9 lives.

Seems to me that we are spending too much time talking about how vile and evil the left is and not enough time on how we sell McCain/Palin to independents and moderates. By now those folks know our mantra, left evil-right good. Time to focus on this ticket and why it is good for America. That also goes for citing polling numbers by the hour. Only one poll will actually count and there is precious little time to waste.
Agreed this is hateful. Their terms of service list disabled persons as a protected group. I suggest that all LST readers go to this link and report the blog [http://downspalin.blogspot.com/2008/09/blessed-children.html] for hate violations. If enough of us do, they’ll take it down.

It’s just as important to give people a reason to vote against as it is a reason for.
The hatred and meanness displayed by these people is an indication of how they would govern.
Look at Barack’s associations with people who hate enough to set bombs and kill people over thier poltical beleifs, or the spewings of his religious associates—or his WIFE for crying out loud—and NONE of this should be a surprise to anybody.
“Uniters” my rosy red rump.
I’ve watched for 4 years the nature of the lies and hatred spewed forth about President Bush. all of this is done in the same way, by the same people, using the same concepts, and for the same reason:
To get people to hate somebody else.
It’s as if they are using Orwell’s 1984 as a guidebook.
It’s also important for us to point out the media’s culpability in all of this, and keep hamering that home.
Too many folks rely on them to get information with which to compare the candidates, and wait until the conventions to start paying attention. If they are unaware of the extent to which the media will go to get Barack Obama elected and is reporting the news to them with that goal in mind, then we are at a very distinct disadvantage. People need to have some sort of yardstick by which to judge the media’s reporting about both candidates.
Highlighting the treatment they have given Sarah Palin in the last week does precisely that.
I can understand how some folks would recommend against it, but I really do doubt that they have any real desire to see John McCain get elected.
Has anyone seen anything on the news since Friday regarding Obama’s campaign staffer, Howard Gutman, smearing Sarah Plain on Laura Ingrham’s show?
How would the media be treating that story if someone high up in McCain’s campaign had said the same kind of thing about Michelle Obama?
Remember how they reported Phil Gramm’s comments, and what McCain did about it?
Maybe the media is afraid of people making THAT comparison if they treated Gutman the same way they treated Gramm. It’s important for us to point that out.
Might be because the media knows that it would display the fact that barack Obama does not have the Leaderhsip skills and good Judgement to fire someone who has borkenm one of his publicly expressed rules.
Maybe he’s going to treat Howard Gutman the same way he did Reverend Wright:
Wait a couple weeks and then figure out “He’s not the person I thought he was.”
Not getting rid of the people he should have when he should have was one of the biggest failings of George Bush.
I guess Bush showed us that by the way he treated McCain in 2000.
Thanks for helping me make my point:
Barack Obama is a lot more like George Bush than John McCain is.
From the way he mollycoddles incompetents and rule breakers in his staff, to the way he campaigns, to the tolerance of earmarks and support of Big Government Programs—–
Let’s also add in the support of a war fighting strategy that was clearly going to result in a defeat, but clinging to it because of his ideology, and not listening to the Generals who said it was the wrong one.
And picking someone as Vice President to shore up weak Foreign Policy credentials, and turning over Foreign Policy to him.
And showing deference to the long time political hacks in his party, giving them important positions in his campaign team.
And being a poor speaker when there’s no teleprompter.
Barack Obama is more like George Bush than John McCain is.
As of a few minutes ago, there were 2,560 comments under the official statement by Oprah explaining her reasons for not inviting Sarah Palin on her show. A significant number of them seem to be Hillary supporters. The peasants are not happy with their Queen.
Barack Obam’s retention of Howard Gutman in a high position on his Campaign Staff because he’s of indispensible help to him strategically and financially, and because he agrees with his Extremist Poltical views, even after he broke a rule that Obama himself expressed publicly is pretty much the same thing that George Bush did in keep Karl Rove on his team after “outing” Valerie Plame, even though Bush said he would fire anyone in his administration that violated National Security Rules.
I figured the PODS Police would have piocked up on that by now.
Baack Obama’s clinging to a losing Strategy in a War, against the advice of the General’s fighting it and mainly for political reasons is pretty much exactly what George Bush did un til he listend to John McCain.
Likewise with the PODs Police’s take on it.
OH wait—
I remember now–
It’s because we expect that kind of thing out of Liberals, but we hold Conservatives to a higher standard——-
texpat on September 7th, 2008 at 11:42 am As of a few minutes ago, there were 2,560 comments under the official statement by Oprah explaining her reasons for not inviting Sarah Palin on her show. A significant number of them seem to be Hillary supporters. The peasants are not happy with their Queen.
Well,seeing as how Texpat posted this, I’m guessing it will be OK for me to post a couple of polls.
Even though I’m not supposed to do it.
Rasmussen shows Barack’s numbers are still going down.
Third Way shows that the Democrats have lost ground in the People’s trust in being able to maintain National Security.
Old doubts about Democrats
on security, after diminishing during 2006-2007, have begun to re-emerge: concerns
that Democrats follow the polls rather than principle; that Democrats are indecisive
and are afraid to use force; and that Democrats don’t support the military. Because
these weaknesses are longstanding and deeply ingrained, and because Republican
weaknesses are newer and do not yet have a label associated with them,
Republicans continue to win on many security issues.
BTW–
Baracky never got above a 7 point bounce, it was only for a day, and it was while the Pubbies backed off on thier Convention due to Gustav.
I was bad by not going to church. Instead I watched the Sunday morning shows. I am just laughing at their determination that Sarah Palin MUST GO ON these shows to have any credibility. George, and the boys think too much of themselves. I don’t think average Joe in middle American even tunes them in. They appeal to the elites, of which they belong. David Brooks said his email is full of ” I hate that woman” and the mail originates in New England. What does that tell ya.
I think that things like a site mocking a child with down syndrome goes beyond politics and straight to a description of the character (or lack thereof) of those who comprise the modern left. My thought is to give that disgusting site as much exposure as possible to let the middle decide for themselves where the meanness lives on the political spectrum. Republicans have long ago disowned the fringe right (consider Goldwater distancing himself from the Birch Society as an example) while Democrats have increasingly embraced the fringe left. It’s time to pick sides.
She admits smoking pot as a teenager, which sets a terrible example for the youth of America, unlike Barack Obama, who admits smoking pot as a teenager, and whose “refreshing candor” is a breath of fresh air after eight years of Cheney-Bush.
She went to multiple colleges as an undergraduate, which shows how flighty and immature she is, unlike Barack Obama, who went to multiple colleges as an undergraduate, which shows the inquisitive nature of his intelligence, which has been such an inspiration, at least to everyone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
snip
Sarah Palin is so stupid that on Friday she called the Penn State football team the “Nittaly Lions” - oh wait, scratch that, that was Barack Obama, who again proved his intellect by showing he has much weightier issues on his mind than college football. And who even cares about Penn State anyway, it’s not an Ivy League school.
snip
You must understand printing lies about Republican candidates is OK. It’s called “vetting.” Printing the truth about liberals - that’s called “swift-boating.” From career MSNBC jock sniffer Keith Olbermann to Barney Frank’s favorite publisher Jann Wenner, the verdict on Palin is unanimous.
The naysayers run the gamut of the political spectrum, from A to B. Sarah is a heretic on everything they gullibly believe in, most significantly global warming. For that blasphemy alone the PC Inquistion insists on the traditional penalty: She must be burned at the stake!
I did a long time ago, and was branded a fool and a blind Partisan by some because of it,
I also said:
“We’re winning, get over it.”
And was branded a fool and a blind Partisan for that, too.
Now I can say this:
1. There’s way more Hate on the Left than there is on the right (and being Christian DOES have something to do with that) and we need to use our vote to express our displeasure with those kinds of folk, and be ever mindful of giving people like that the steering wheel of the most Powerful Nation on the Planet.
2. We won. Get over it.
I’ll probably still be branded a fool and a blind partisan for saying it.
But I think a lot of folks are going to see that this says more about the folks who said it in the past than it does about me now.
The difference being, Oh PODS Police Chief, is that those vile and disgusting people never got the cooperation of the main Stream Media in spreading thier disgusting lies.
Within 24 hours of the announcment of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate, the MSM was reporting that she had faked her pregnancy to hide the fact that Trig was here daughter’s child.
Within 48 hours, major newspapers were demanding to have a sample of her amniotic fluid, while others were demanding DNA testing.
While examples of what you show coming from the Fringe Right are indeed disgusting, the Fringe Right does not enjoy the kind of support the FringeLeft does by both the media and the Democrat Party. In fact, the Fringe Left controls the Democrat Party, and bragged about thier effectiveness when they defeated Joe Lieberman and gatherede so much money for thier chosen candidate.
The Hateful Left has gotten control of the Democrat Party, largely because of the cooperation it recives from an utterly and irretrievably biased Media.
That means that while there are Extremists on both sides, if we elect the Left, those Extremists are given Power and prestige (read Howard Gutman’s bio linked to above), while on the Right we marginalize them.
We DO need to speak out about that, and we DO need to make sure they don;t get into Power.
It’s a good read, especially for those of you who might have a hard time with the concept of the OODA Loop, as well as what I’m talking about here about the Left and it’s hatefulness, and the reasons they support Obama because of it.
I agree with Ace’s choice of money quote (but read the whole thing):
At base, the Left’s ideology, whether relating to women’s rights, human rights, academic inquiry or war and peace is not universal but tribal. Moreover, when the Left is challenged on any one of its signature issues, because it cannot actually make a case for the universal applicability or even logic of its views, it tends instead to embrace the politics of personal destruction while ignoring the obvious contradictions between its stated beliefs and actual behavior.
(BTW, where IS thje PODS Police on the Howard Gutman thing, it DOES resemble the Rove/Plame affair so dam much, I figured something would be said by them, even though I know that the MSM won;t make the connection, even if they DO see It)
I also agree with his comment:
And look, don’t worry that we’re going to give the game away by telling the (impulsive, childlike) leftist media what they’re doing wrong. They don’t listen to redneck idiots like us anyway, and furthermore they can’t help themselves.
When offered a choice between measured, ideologically consistent arguments, and bizarre, shrieking smears that violate their own value system, the collective intellectual Colossus that is the Left will choose option B most of the time.
Republicans have long ago disowned the fringe right…
That’s a bit of a rewrite of history. Many of Goldwater’s supporters were members of the John Birch Society and they were the first to suggest that he run against Kennedy. The senator was aided greatly by William F. Buckley Jr. who openly disavowed support for Robert Welch and what Buckley called “the Birch fallacy” on issues such as China. Meanwhile Goldwater had to tread lightly because of the support of Arizona banker, Frank Cullen Brophy and other Birchers in his home state.
Secondly, we built the Republican Party in the Deep South on the strength of the disaffected Wallace Democrats and Harry Dent’s “Southern Strategy” of watch what we do not what we say.
Finally I believe the Palin selection is an attempt by Senator McCain and his advisors to cater to the radicals in the Republican Party rather than steer toward a more moderate course. It might work, as many moderate Republicans such as I will vote for McCain regardless of who his running mate might have been.

Good morning all. A wonderful 64 at 6am, the Sun just stirring out of slumber, fixin’ to get ready to think about getting up. Lots of twinkling stars grace an ebony sky. Dew’s on everything, turning to sparkles in the early rays. Ground mist rises etherially over all, a silver gauze barely seen through until he rises higher and inhales it one breath at a time. Clear blue sky takes center stage, and it’s open window time at least until the day heats up. Soft windchime comments drift over the patio in the light, barely stirring NE breeze. Leaves move lazily in time with the winchimes. Hanging baskets sway gently. The mares browse in the pasture. Valentine enjoys his early morning nap before venturing out, and Mariposa chases her favorite toys for a bit before draping herself on the desk for a quick nap. For this wonderful start to the day, thank you, Lord.
I like Adee’s morning poetics. I’m gonna give it a shot:
I awake at 9:45 to a ringing phone and a mouthful of red hair. While taking a leak I notice the crape myrtle blossoms swaying in the breeze near that white trash lady with the yippy dog. Damn it’s bright out. The fridge holds a cornucopia of breakfast: leftover Kung Pao, cold pizza, strawberry milk.
Rays trickle through the miniblinds and I think: “One of these days I’m gonna shoot that dog.”
Texpat, Squawk, From yesterday’s OC (which I just read), thank you for the info about what happened to the very delightful lady’s blog and how the gentlemen here came to her aid. A pox on those who attacked her and it.
If you still read LST, dear lady, we miss you.
Matt, all with bacons salt? I’ve had my cars oil changed and tires rotated and dug out the last bougenvillia ( sp too lazy to look up) in my yard. New rule. NO plants with thorns.
Adee, it is a glorious morning. I’ve got the back door wide open and the pooches are busy going in and out. I should clean the interior, but really want to be outside. Since I am in charge… I’ll be outside.
#3 Needs a little work Matt. But the olny difference here is the variety of leftovers.
Remember the botched drug raid a month ago when cops in Maryland burst into the house of a small-town mayor and shot both his dogs, only to find out they had the wrong guy?
The PD’s “internal investigations” took up the case after the mayor complained about being the victim of their raid. Well, guess what. They cleared all the officers involved of any wrongdoing. Just like they always do.

I’m less than surprised.
Barack Obama:
Girlie Man
Worth it for the Photoshop.
Money quote:
While reading that, it struck me why I don’t like Barack Obama. Not on a polticial level, that’s all policy. I’m talking about why I don;t like him on a more visceral personal level.
It’s because he’s a Bully. He’s the Scott Farkus of modern American politics. The guy who tlaks a lot, but does nopthing and has a little guy following him around trying to make him look like more than he is. He’s the Equipment Manager on the High School football team who acts like he’s the Quarterback. Unlike the Quarterback, he has no real acheivement to speak of (and he got the job because of who his freinds are), so he shoves kids in the hall and knocks thier books to the floor as a substitute, knowing he can never actually do anything like what the Quarterback has done.
I’ve never liked Bullies, not only because they beat up on those whom they figure they can “take,” but also because they are usually the types that will whimper and cry if someone they figure they can take fights back and gets in a few licks in the process.
And all it took to get him to do that was a few words from a 140 pound female former Mayor of a hick town in Alaska named “Wasilly.” At least, that’s what he said she was. Now he’s crying about how mean she is.
Not only is Barack Obama an empty suit, he’s a Paper Tiger as well.
If he can’t take this like a Man, how in the Cornbread Hell is he going to be able to deal with the Taliban?
And if anyone thinks this is an isolated incident or an honest mistake, these botched no-knock raids on innocent people in the wrong house happen all the time. Here’s another one from last week:

I keep trying to post the actual link that’s supposed to be in the post above, butn HAL doesn’t seem to like it.
Next Thursday the Cato Institute is doing a panel on the botched cop raid in Maryland. Don’t know if they’ll have web stream, but if they do it will probably be here.

I’m surprised no one is discussing the comments McCain made during his speech regarding American jobs.
Glen Beck nails it.

#15 Shakie, that’s the only thing I remember from his speech too. A new expanded program to pay and retrain individuals who loose their jobs. What angers me most is, we don’t get a speech about what any politician is going to do. We get the speech that will attract the most mad liberals, and people who just can’t ever make up their minds. To the liberals who are mad………..see we love you, and we will take care of you. To the undecideds, I will protect you. I’m still voting McCain, but he’s no conservative republican. He’s a maverick. Thank God for Sarah Palin!
Depends on whether or not you believe the picture.
I was running late for work yesterday and listened to Laura Ingraham interview a member of Barack Obama’s Campaign staff smearing Sarah Plain, despite the fact that Barack has instructed his cultists not to do so. I didn’t even expect bhim to get fired, as he should have been if Barack is serious about the instructions he gives, as any competent Leader would do. I wasn’t even going to comment on it, the meme is getting a bit tired and Sarah can obviously handle this kind of bullying better than Sissyman Obama.
But then, In foundn out who Howard Gutman is, and what he’s done for Obama. Read the resume here.
Especially the last entry.

That is one odd characterization. Did the equipment manager beat you up when you were in high school or something?
Mr. Moore, please address the post, not the poster. Thank you in advance, LST ModNS
#20: Unfortunately the picture doesn’t show up on this computer. I’ll assume then it did happen, thanks
Yeah;
But like most good Conservatives, I fought back and the little sissy poseur went crying to his Big Sister like other bullies do.
Here’s the pic.
The Denver Post Article about the Flags makes this comment:
Proper Disposal is described here.
But if the Dems really cared about the Flag AND/OR “going green” they would have takern advantage of this service.
Meh–
They probably bought enough carbon credits to assuage thier consciences.
#21 Sarge, if that is true, the last bit of info needs to go national to Laura or Rush. Good grief! So, he’s lobbyist of the year, bundler, and Bill Ayers attorney. Don’t you just love it! I tell ya, it’s who ya know.
AW’
He’s not Ayers attorney.
He’s the attorney ofone of Ayers foot soldiers who was involved in a bank robbery where an LEO was killed.
He was intsrumental in getting her a pardon from Bill Clinton.
It ain’t just Barack Obama who has a Love Affair with the Far Left American Terrorists of the 60’s.

It’s good that you are getting all that pent up frustration out of your system, even if it is 40+ years after the fact.
Once again, please direct your comments to a point in a post. Do not engage in personal attacks. LST ModNS
And guess what?
Big Sister told him she was busy.
HIllary’s problem, if she wants to run in 2012, is to not to be seen as teh reason Baby Barack is defeated. She has to be seen as helpiong him where he really needs it.
I think telling him that he can fight the mean girl from the hick town who beat him up by himself does that for her.
/snark on
While I do appreciate the Moderator admonishing the young man and making sure that the rules of decorum and good taste are being followed (unlike Barack Obama when members of his Staff smear other candidates by unfairly bringing the family into the fray), I can fight my own battles (like wise, unlike Brack Obama).
/snark off
I’m certain that you can. But LST is not and will not be the place to do so. Thank you. LST ModNS
Singing ” Why can’t we be friends? Why can’t we be friends.” Ok I’m pixilated but it’s the spectacular weather. Runnnnsss off to dig some more.
15 - I brought it up the day after the speech.
McCain is STILL better than Obama.
Hands down.
By leaps and bounds.
Of course, you are correct.
And I know that, unlike Barack Obama, Benzion actually has a Sword of Righteousness and will actually use it if someone ignores the rules he has laid down, reardless of whther he shares thier political views of if they are a big contributor.
Has nayone noticed that John McCain fired Phil Gramm for sahying something nowhere near as offensive as what Howard Gutman said about Sarah Palin?
Or that the media made a big deal out of Gramm’s statements and the only place we hear about Gutman’s is on a Conservative blog?
Couldn’t we at least see Gutman go on a Conservative Radio Show and beg forgiveness the way Don Imus did?
And McCain hadn’t even made a rule about it when he did.
BTW–
Where is the PODS Police on this?

The smears are beyond belief. Oh, they must be terrified to go to these lengths.

# 30
Hillary is gone, gone.
Thanks to Obama who came from nowhere!
Whether you love him or hate him he has accomplished something unheard of in american politics.
McCain was quick to acknowledge and I hope the Republican Party does not underestimate him.
Granted, he has no qualifications, but when was the last president elected on qualifications?
Politics, today is more about style than substance and you can go back atleast till 50’s when Ike Eisenhower was elected.
#30 Sarge, Oooh right you are that the PUMAs are roaylly ticked with Obama’s treatment of Hillary and are transferring that to his henchmen/women’s treatment of Sarah. The ladies are putting on the warpaint and beating the drums, gathering forces of the Sisterhood, accepting male cohorts, and recruiting more Sisters regardless of affiliation. Right on.
Ladies, have at it. Sarah can show you how to field dress a donkey. This is gonna be fun to watch.
# 37
Sally, are you saying that Sarah did not say those words?
denial the truth is equally bad!
Glenn Beck is impressive. He makes Rush look like a partisan amateur.
Another must-read transcript regarding Obama and his Marxist/racist agenda:

#36, Most excellent action, Moderator
Noodles;
This is a joke, right?
A claim is made on a blog called “LA Progressive” and ther source is, well, the source is—dang, just read it yourself:
Now, I know that sourcing your smear to “Lucille, the waitress” is pretty durn creative.
But’ c’,mon,
And then the article goes on to claim:
Apparently they are deranged enough to ignore the fact that her husband is Yupik Eskimo (not to be confused with Aleutes and Innuits).
Which means her children has Eskimo blood as well.
This stuff is sick and disgusting.
And then Sissyman says:
I think he m,ight be right on that one.
Just not in the way he meant it.
You folks who got dragged into Bush Derangement Syndrome back in the days when there was little to no Conservative Blogosphere ought to pay attention to the nature and the tenor of the smears that are going on now regarding Sarah Palin.
It’s deja vu all over again.
But this time there’s enough of us involved that we can fight them and you can get facts in contravention that you were not apprised of 4 years ago.
Matt: Don’t quit your day job. Your not poet Laurie et material.
Hey hunters, don’t forget to buy your duck stamps.
Guess what?
I just heard from Floyd, the barber and Madge, the manicurist and they both say that Obama once called Joe Lieberman “boogerface.”
#40 Rahman the quote has been attributed to a left-wing nut job commenter and the blog where it has appeared has apologized for it. So yes, she did not say that. She didn’t get to where she is with an 80% approval rating without knowing every word she says is important. The liberal media has been beating the bushes in her home town. Believe me, if she had a bad mouth, we would know by now. They love her and we do too.
Sarge it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? But we can smell the fear. It’s grand
#47 bob42
That is rich as cream, absolutely hilarious.
Uh Oh.
Scrappleface has uncovered something that might be something.
I hope this doesn’t get out. Some folks have already come here and warned us about this kind of thing in her past.
#52 Sarge, I was afraid we would hear/read things like this.
Here’s a list of Palin smears.
Quite a lot when you look at them all in one place—especially once you refelct that she’s been the Veep pick fo just a week.
What strikes me the most is that most of them, are both:
A. Untrue
and
B. Seem to be designed to make her unpalatable to Conservatives, particularly the caricature of Religious Conservatives that Liberals have in their minds.
Guess they were just trying to help us like som many of the folk who come here and tell us this stuff.
52 - Sarge, OMG - this is blasphemy! Let’s ask Willy Moore for his insightful thoughts on the matter. Surely, he has something INTELLIGENT to say.
//tongue - cheek
Here’s one not on the list, BTW.
I think it’s the weirdest one yet.
It’s of a type, though, that’s getting monotonous from the Lefties:
Trying to tie a Republican to Hagee.
Page 47 in the playbook, I think.
Can’t they get new villians over there?
Besides Sarah, I mean.
T2D
What did you expect with her family history?
Next thing you know, they’ll be accusing her of putting her hand over her heart during the pledge of allegiance.
#51 Texpat, I thought it might get a giggle here.
I figure we’ll see that typo referenced many times because as I understand it, the
trampsstamps are printed once a year.My employer, like many other large outfits, has a toll-free number for IT support. The last time I called it, I erroneously dialed 1-800… instead of 1-888… and was connected to a phone sex service.
When I called the correct number, it was answered by a person with a thick Indian accent who identified himself as “Butch.” I gotta say that those folks try their best, but in hindsight realize that the folks at the first number I dialed stood a better chance of being helpful.
If I ever retire, I’d like to open a restaurant that specializes in Indian cuisine. I think I’ll name it, “The Help Desk.”
McCain gets inside Obama’s OODA loop again.
#59 Bob, I always ask where the person I am speaking to is located - and many times they are in India. Never quite understood the reason for that. Isn’t it expensive for them in India to accept a toll free call? Surely they can’t pay their workers so little as to make up the difference of what it would cost to pay English speaking employees here. Any ideas?
This occurs to me:
If Barack is so predictable that McCain, a washed up old man verging on the edge of being a PTSD Instigated Rage Maniac and standing at death’s own door, can get inside his OODAc Loop with such precision and regularity, what kinds of implications does that have for Obama’s negotiations with foreign governments?
#61 LizBV, As I understand it, the cost of a transcontinental phone call is much less than it used to be. I think this is a result of the telecom industry’s conversion to digital transmission methods, and the increased global demand for internet bandwidth.
And everything is cheaper when you buy it in bulk. Even transcontinental phone time.
Zogby has McCain up by 4 points
Gallup has Obama up by two, a loss og nerarly 6 points from his highest Convention Bounce (Which never went above 7—where’s my frikkin bear?)
I’m jumping in here, haven’t screened above comments, so I don’t know if anyone has noted this disgusting, vile, vomit from the left yet.
I hope this backfires big time. This oughta roast the libs in hell if nothing else does.
Tedtam, yes, that certainly will backfire for any but the most hateful, young, irrational types. I can’t see many folks at 40 getting a charge out of that.
#66 TT,
That is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen on the internet. Unfortunately, if you click the “flag blog” on that one, there’s nothing in the list that would make Blogger take it down. Perhaps the best thing to do is to call as much attention to it as possible so that folks can see for themselves to what vile depths liberals have sunk.
#60 Sarge, Man that was good “OODA”, do you think that the young whipper snapper has picked a fight with the WRONG old War Horse. Something to be said for wisdom, it can only be obtain over time.
#61 Liz, a lot of over-seas communication is by satellite, but that is expensive. Some time in the 90’s several different people saw the potential for an old fashioned undersea cable, only this time with fiber optics, MUCH greater bandwidth. Also the materials that make up the cables are more durable. Several companies invested lots of money in the cables as they watched the internet take off. But the internet growth leveled off in the late 90’s and all of them went bankrupt. They had a great idea but were 10 years ahead of their time and ran out of capital before they could get enough people to sign up. The same thing happened in Satellite phone service. Someone bought the cables at a fire sale and marketed them to telemarketers. The calls cost pennies each and they pay the people very little compared to here. They have classes in Middle school where they teach English and our culture, they watch movies to try and pick up on accent and dialect; they encourage them to pick a place in this country and study it and pretend that that is where they’re calling from.
This explains it pretty good;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable
The new cables are about 3″ in diameter the first ones were 6-10″ thick and covered with steel armor, sometimes breaking under their own weight as they were spooled out.
Is it JUST me, or does every comment with a link go into the Spit Bucket?
Hal?….What are you doing, Dave? That’s highly irregular you know.
Super Dave, maybe Hal is jealous of your super title? I think that explains it. IF your name were mediocre Dave, he wouldn’t have a problem I think you need to compliment Hal.( Don’t refer to pajamas or beehive boxers)
Good morning all. Another good weather day ahead at least until the wind shifts south; 64 again and a ground mist curtain forms at Sunrise. Blue sky as we only see in after a front. That shall pass, unfortunately, and late summer resume. But it’s on the run now, take heart. Thank you, Lord.
A crash of something landing on the floor in the other end of the house followed a mere second later by a white streak flying down the hallway can only mean the two are connected…. Backtracking thataway to investigate reveals a wooden kitty cutout left its perch on the windowsill and belly flopped to the bathroom floor, with help from Mariposa the white streak. Wooden kitty replaced undamaged. Mariposa peers out from a safe spot in the bedroom, looking conflicted. Reassure her that this is not serious enough to diminish one of her 9 lives.
Ike lurks in the Atlantic with every indication it will enter the Gulf. Here we go again.
66 & 68
Seems to me that we are spending too much time talking about how vile and evil the left is and not enough time on how we sell McCain/Palin to independents and moderates. By now those folks know our mantra, left evil-right good. Time to focus on this ticket and why it is good for America. That also goes for citing polling numbers by the hour. Only one poll will actually count and there is precious little time to waste.
66 tedtam
Agreed this is hateful. Their terms of service list disabled persons as a protected group. I suggest that all LST readers go to this link and report the blog [http://downspalin.blogspot.com/2008/09/blessed-children.html] for hate violations. If enough of us do, they’ll take it down.
It’s just as important to give people a reason to vote against as it is a reason for.
The hatred and meanness displayed by these people is an indication of how they would govern.
Look at Barack’s associations with people who hate enough to set bombs and kill people over thier poltical beleifs, or the spewings of his religious associates—or his WIFE for crying out loud—and NONE of this should be a surprise to anybody.
“Uniters” my rosy red rump.
I’ve watched for 4 years the nature of the lies and hatred spewed forth about President Bush. all of this is done in the same way, by the same people, using the same concepts, and for the same reason:
To get people to hate somebody else.
It’s as if they are using Orwell’s 1984 as a guidebook.
It’s also important for us to point out the media’s culpability in all of this, and keep hamering that home.
Too many folks rely on them to get information with which to compare the candidates, and wait until the conventions to start paying attention. If they are unaware of the extent to which the media will go to get Barack Obama elected and is reporting the news to them with that goal in mind, then we are at a very distinct disadvantage. People need to have some sort of yardstick by which to judge the media’s reporting about both candidates.
Highlighting the treatment they have given Sarah Palin in the last week does precisely that.
I can understand how some folks would recommend against it, but I really do doubt that they have any real desire to see John McCain get elected.
Has anyone seen anything on the news since Friday regarding Obama’s campaign staffer, Howard Gutman, smearing Sarah Plain on Laura Ingrham’s show?
How would the media be treating that story if someone high up in McCain’s campaign had said the same kind of thing about Michelle Obama?
Remember how they reported Phil Gramm’s comments, and what McCain did about it?
Maybe the media is afraid of people making THAT comparison if they treated Gutman the same way they treated Gramm. It’s important for us to point that out.
Might be because the media knows that it would display the fact that barack Obama does not have the Leaderhsip skills and good Judgement to fire someone who has borkenm one of his publicly expressed rules.
Maybe he’s going to treat Howard Gutman the same way he did Reverend Wright:
Wait a couple weeks and then figure out “He’s not the person I thought he was.”
Not getting rid of the people he should have when he should have was one of the biggest failings of George Bush.
Barack Obama is no different.
I guess Bush showed us that by the way he treated McCain in 2000.
Adee’s mornign descriptions are lyrical and enjoyable (Matt’s, not so much). I don’t have talent in that direction, so I just show you what I look at while drinking my coffee in the morning.
Got to get some grass seed on the new construction—
Thanks for helping me make my point:
Barack Obama is a lot more like George Bush than John McCain is.
From the way he mollycoddles incompetents and rule breakers in his staff, to the way he campaigns, to the tolerance of earmarks and support of Big Government Programs—–
Barack Obama is going to be more of the same.
Interesting™
So Obama is a good wartime President who knows how to achieve victory in Iraq?
Let’s also add in the support of a war fighting strategy that was clearly going to result in a defeat, but clinging to it because of his ideology, and not listening to the Generals who said it was the wrong one.
And picking someone as Vice President to shore up weak Foreign Policy credentials, and turning over Foreign Policy to him.
And showing deference to the long time political hacks in his party, giving them important positions in his campaign team.
And being a poor speaker when there’s no teleprompter.
Barack Obama is more like George Bush than John McCain is.
Nope;
But John McCain is.
He supported the strategy that won the war, whjile Barack decided it would be a good idea to leave without even trying to win.
And Bush had the wrong strategy until he listend to John McCain.
You said so yourself.
Greetings, William “Moby” Moore.
It took going on Bill O’Reilly after a year of obvious success in Iraq to get Barack to admit that the Surge was a success.
Maybe we can get him to go on again so he can finally admit that Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska and not the Mayor of a hick town in Alaska.
And that it’s “Wasilla” and not “Wasilly.”
As of a few minutes ago, there were 2,560 comments under the official statement by Oprah explaining her reasons for not inviting Sarah Palin on her show. A significant number of them seem to be Hillary supporters. The peasants are not happy with their Queen.
Barack Obam’s retention of Howard Gutman in a high position on his Campaign Staff because he’s of indispensible help to him strategically and financially, and because he agrees with his Extremist Poltical views, even after he broke a rule that Obama himself expressed publicly is pretty much the same thing that George Bush did in keep Karl Rove on his team after “outing” Valerie Plame, even though Bush said he would fire anyone in his administration that violated National Security Rules.
I figured the PODS Police would have piocked up on that by now.
Baack Obama’s clinging to a losing Strategy in a War, against the advice of the General’s fighting it and mainly for political reasons is pretty much exactly what George Bush did un til he listend to John McCain.
Likewise with the PODs Police’s take on it.
OH wait—
I remember now–
It’s because we expect that kind of thing out of Liberals, but we hold Conservatives to a higher standard——-
Well,seeing as how Texpat posted this, I’m guessing it will be OK for me to post a couple of polls.
Even though I’m not supposed to do it.
Rasmussen shows Barack’s numbers are still going down.
Third Way shows that the Democrats have lost ground in the People’s trust in being able to maintain National Security.
BTW–
Baracky never got above a 7 point bounce, it was only for a day, and it was while the Pubbies backed off on thier Convention due to Gustav.
Where’s my frikkin bear?
I was bad by not going to church. Instead I watched the Sunday morning shows. I am just laughing at their determination that Sarah Palin MUST GO ON these shows to have any credibility. George, and the boys think too much of themselves. I don’t think average Joe in middle American even tunes them in. They appeal to the elites, of which they belong. David Brooks said his email is full of ” I hate that woman” and the mail originates in New England. What does that tell ya.
85
And greetings to you. I don’t understand the Moby reference but greetings nonetheless.
#75 William Moore,
I think that things like a site mocking a child with down syndrome goes beyond politics and straight to a description of the character (or lack thereof) of those who comprise the modern left. My thought is to give that disgusting site as much exposure as possible to let the middle decide for themselves where the meanness lives on the political spectrum. Republicans have long ago disowned the fringe right (consider Goldwater distancing himself from the Birch Society as an example) while Democrats have increasingly embraced the fringe left. It’s time to pick sides.
Howie Carr demonstrates the PODS take here.
I did a long time ago, and was branded a fool and a blind Partisan by some because of it,
I also said:
“We’re winning, get over it.”
And was branded a fool and a blind Partisan for that, too.
Now I can say this:
1. There’s way more Hate on the Left than there is on the right (and being Christian DOES have something to do with that) and we need to use our vote to express our displeasure with those kinds of folk, and be ever mindful of giving people like that the steering wheel of the most Powerful Nation on the Planet.
2. We won. Get over it.
I’ll probably still be branded a fool and a blind partisan for saying it.
But I think a lot of folks are going to see that this says more about the folks who said it in the past than it does about me now.
Let’s be clear, there are disgusting lowlifes on both sides of the political fence:
http://gawker.com/tag/bad-ideas/?i=5016520&t=the-racist-barack-obama-monkey-puppet
Oh, and let’s not forget the Bisexual affair Obama was supposedly involved in. I’m pretty sure these things are coming from the left.
http://obamawho.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/bisexual-obama-affair-featured-on-puerto-rico-tv/
The difference being, Oh PODS Police Chief, is that those vile and disgusting people never got the cooperation of the main Stream Media in spreading thier disgusting lies.
#97 Sarge
Yes, I agree. But that doesn’t make the vile characters on the right any better than the ones on the left.
Within 24 hours of the announcment of Sarah Palin as McCain’s running mate, the MSM was reporting that she had faked her pregnancy to hide the fact that Trig was here daughter’s child.
Within 48 hours, major newspapers were demanding to have a sample of her amniotic fluid, while others were demanding DNA testing.
While examples of what you show coming from the Fringe Right are indeed disgusting, the Fringe Right does not enjoy the kind of support the FringeLeft does by both the media and the Democrat Party. In fact, the Fringe Left controls the Democrat Party, and bragged about thier effectiveness when they defeated Joe Lieberman and gatherede so much money for thier chosen candidate.
The Hateful Left has gotten control of the Democrat Party, largely because of the cooperation it recives from an utterly and irretrievably biased Media.
That means that while there are Extremists on both sides, if we elect the Left, those Extremists are given Power and prestige (read Howard Gutman’s bio linked to above), while on the Right we marginalize them.
We DO need to speak out about that, and we DO need to make sure they don;t get into Power.
Never siad they were.
I just said that the vile creatures on te Left are in control of the Deomcrat party, and the Main Stream media loves it.
#100 Sarge
No argument there. I might qualify it a bit further and say that the vile creatures on the Left are also in control of the Mainstream Media.
I got this essay via Ace of Spades HQ.
It’s a good read, especially for those of you who might have a hard time with the concept of the OODA Loop, as well as what I’m talking about here about the Left and it’s hatefulness, and the reasons they support Obama because of it.
I agree with Ace’s choice of money quote (but read the whole thing):
(BTW, where IS thje PODS Police on the Howard Gutman thing, it DOES resemble the Rove/Plame affair so dam much, I figured something would be said by them, even though I know that the MSM won;t make the connection, even if they DO see It)
I also agree with his comment:
BTW;
I;ve beenmeaning to say this since yesterday:
to all the Mobies and Sockpuppets in all the Conservative Blogs all across the country trying to get us to stop talking about this:
Shut up and take your whoopin.
You deserve it.

That’s a bit of a rewrite of history. Many of Goldwater’s supporters were members of the John Birch Society and they were the first to suggest that he run against Kennedy. The senator was aided greatly by William F. Buckley Jr. who openly disavowed support for Robert Welch and what Buckley called “the Birch fallacy” on issues such as China. Meanwhile Goldwater had to tread lightly because of the support of Arizona banker, Frank Cullen Brophy and other Birchers in his home state.
Secondly, we built the Republican Party in the Deep South on the strength of the disaffected Wallace Democrats and Harry Dent’s “Southern Strategy” of watch what we do not what we say.
Finally I believe the Palin selection is an attempt by Senator McCain and his advisors to cater to the radicals in the Republican Party rather than steer toward a more moderate course. It might work, as many moderate Republicans such as I will vote for McCain regardless of who his running mate might have been.
Like who?
