  • Projection

    Cortillaen sends us a link from Newsbusters’ Tim Graham who quotes Al Sharpton claiming that Herman Cain is too racially obsessed;

    This is what he’s done several times. He first went on Jon Stewart, I mean not went on Jon, but I mean he got into it with Jon saying that he that they, ah, liberal media didn’t want, hated seeing a black conservative, but he doesn’t want to bring up race. Well, he had just brought it up. Now he goes on a diatribe about the President and him and who’s black and whether who’s the strong black, but then he doesn’t want to bring in race.

    It’s almost like I’m gonna call you two or three names, but then say I don’t want to get into name calling when I’m the one who brought it up. Nobody’s brought up in the discussion about race anything but Herman Cain.

    Funny, but I thought the rest of us were racists for criticizing the President for his policies – that everything we do has a racial tinge to it. So I guess we can consider Al Sharpton’s criticism of Herman Cain is racist?

  • Weepy Wiener; I lied

    With crocodile tears, Anthony Wiener admitted today that he’s been lying to the entire country for more than a week about sending pictures of “Little Anthony” through his Twitter account – but only after more pictures were uncovered today. He claims that he’s accepting responsibility for his actions, but refuses to resign as his fellow New Yorker Christopher Lee did. Of course the difference between Wiener and Lee is that Lee was a Republican.

    I suppose that Wiener doesn’t realize that every time anyone looks at him, all they’ll see is Little Anthony bulging through his underwear.

    In honesty, though, that’s all I saw when I looked at him before this anyway – a little dickhead.

    If New Yorkers return him to office next year, they’re clearly not interested in being well-represented in Congress. Is he the best person for the job in his district? Is there no one in his district with better judgement than Wiener? The bald-faced lies aside, how can his judgement not be called into question at this point?

    Whether he was unfaithful to his new bride or not, just engaging in this kind of behavior shows weak moral failings. How do people know that he’s not lying with every word? How can we believe he’s contrite about this poor behavior? He’s obviously sorry that he’s been caught – but not so sorry that he couldn’t tell the truth last week when his primary face wasn’t in the picture.

    But there’s an obvious double standard at work here between Wiener and Lee. If he was truly contrite, Wiener would leave public life so we bloggers wouldn’t have to write new punchlines for every time his weaselly face pops up in the news.

    Glen Beck says that Wiener’s judgement should be questioned just because he thinks he’s hot enough that women want naked pictures of him.

  • Kokesh and remake of Footloose

    This morning I was looking for reports of Kokesh’s antics at the Jefferson Memorial yesterday and our buddy Marooned in Marin beat me to it.

    ADDED: The Code Pink version;

    Looking at the video, it looks like a bunch of spastic nerds showed up yesterday hoping to be arrested but the park police disappointed them. At the end of the video, when the park police finally decided to crack down, they started giving the cops shit. The cops are just doing their jobs, it does no good to yell at them. Yell at the people who make the laws that the cops are only enforcing, dolts.

    Actually, it’s pretty pathetic to see so many people show up for dancing at the Jefferson Memorial, but they won’t show up at the polls to vote for candidates that will get government out of their lives.

    So was the protest really all that important? I’ll bet if you asked everyone who was dancing if they thought taxes on the rich should be raised, they’d resoundingly support that – but let us dance. Should we be allowed to smoke in bars? No! But let us dance. Ban transfats? Yes, but let us dance! Tax fatty or sugary foods? Yes, but don’t stop us from dancing!

    They’ll vote for single-payer universal health care, but the government should let them dance.

    Drill and refine our own oil and gas reserves? No! But let us dance!

    Well, you get the idea. Silly, pathetic little trolls.

  • Like a transvestite slap fight on the corner

    Ron Paul took offense to Donald Trump’s comments on his electability;

    Regarding Trump’s prediction that Paul is not a viable candidate, Paul argued that he’s won eleven times in a very conservative district and responds to Trump with his own verbal smackdown, “I don’t know whether he’s earned the right – you know – for criticizing someone for not winning an election, when I don’t know how many elections he’s won so far himself.” Although if Trump does run for President, Paul did not go as far as suggesting that he couldn’t win.

    I have news for both of them, neither of them will attract many voters. Not among the conservatives I know. As a blogger, I do hope they both run – they’ll provide much entertainment. Especially when they both claim that 1% of the vote proves they have a chance to win the Republican nomination. They’ll pump millions of dollars into the economy and it won’t cost taxpayers anything.

    But it’ll be just so much mental masturbation, sound and fury signifying nothing.

    Donald Trump is a conservative to the point that it no longer suits him. And, well, the same goes for Paul and his acolytes. This early slap fight in the media demonstrates that neither has the thick skin politicians need to focus on the issues.

  • Paulistas interrupt Cheney at CPAC

    So while Dick Cheney made a surprise appearance at the CPAC conference he was interrupted by chanting Paulians, immature little twits who couldn’t get a room at Chuck E. Cheese for their antics (Huffington Post link);

    Making a surprise appearance at the conference to introduce former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld for a CPAC “Defender of the Constitution Award”, Cheney told the audience to “sit down and shut up” after a crescendo of “USA, USA” chants, reportedly triggered by a “where’s Bin Laden?” exclamation.

    In the following moments of silence, screams of “war criminal,” “murdering scum,” and “draft dodger,” were reportedly hurled at Cheney.

    According to a tweet from Slate’s Dave Weigel, another malcontent later yelled “show us the shekels, Dick!” before being promptly removed by security.

    For some reason, Paulians think this is the way to take over the Republican Party…by being fucking morons. Tell me how shouting out Democrat talking points is constructive. Paulians claim to be some sort of Libertarian, but their nothing more than Democrats with Libertine drivel. Rand Paul’s endorsement of IVAW’s Adam Kokesh congressional run in New Mexico was no accident.

  • Libertarians were wrong? Unpossible!

    For decades, I’ve heard Libertarians tell me how if marijuana was legal, it could be taxed and would do away with prison overcrowding and the stigma related to being a pot smoker. Well, then tell me why the Dutch have to crack down on hemp plantations according to the Associated Press;

    “Cannabis cultivation has to stop,” police said in a statement. “It might seem innocent, but it’s not. Apart from the fact that it is illegal, interfering with water and electricity supplies often creates life-threatening situations.”

    Stedin said there are an estimated 40,000 illegal cannabis plantations in the Netherlands – the highest number per capita in Europe. Police destroy about 5,000 plantations each year.

    Holy moley, do you mean all of those smarmy libertarians with Latin screen names like Pubicus Dickus are wrong? If the Dutch police are busting 5,000 pot farms every year, that’s 5,000 or more new prisoners in their jails and extrapolate that to the US population. And how far against a libertarian’s grain does the police asking for folks to tattle on their neighbors go?

    But then all of the Libertarians who want to legalize pot aren’t really libertarians, either. They’re Libertines.

    Imagine what else they could wrong about.

    I can’t wait until they all tell me to read a book again.
