Rep. Michelle Bachmann lets us know who the real victim was when she declared that significant portions of America hate themselves and that some of her Congressional compatriots should be investigated for treason: her. Last Friday, all the liberal special interests from California to Vermont found a new outlet for…
I have to admit that I’m somewhat shocked that the McCain/Palin campaign—in addition to running with the “Obama is a terrorist” lie—has picked up the “Obama supports infanticide” lie, and are putting it out in their robocalls. As John Cole says, here’s the results: It’s interesting, because the infanticide slur…
Although this George Will quote is getting a bunch of attention because it joins the ever-expanding train of comments theorizing that the only reason one black person supports another is because of race, while white people join together in book clubs and farmer’s markets and whatever else it is white…
Below the fold, I’m posting slightly truncated versions of a recruitment e-mail for the McCain campaign. They’d like law students to serve as voter challengers (presumably with the help of security officers and veterans, although that may just be a Milwaukee thing), and are throwing out the prospect of hordes…
UPDATE:Video of Obama’s reaction to the endorsement is below the fold. Thank you, General. He hits all the right notes about the bottom line and this election. First, here are Gen. Powell’s historic comments on MTP: Retired General Colin L. Powell, one of the country’s most respected Republicans, stunned both…
You know, we could have avoided all of this if ethereally unknowable Negro Barack Obama had just agreed to do eleven billion townhalls with John McCain. Matthews: How many Congresspeople, members of Congress are in that anti-American crowd you describe? Bachmann: [Deer in the headlights] Matthews: How many Congresspeople you…
Michelle Malkin is excoriating “liberals” for attempting to destroy Joe the Plumber. It isn’t just the pot calling the kettle black, it’s the pot wandering into the pot store and declaring all other pots black-tinged traitors to our great nation, then offering to run the pot reeducation camp to bring…
When they got on the whole “Joe the Plumber” thing last night, I thought it was a hypothetical person, though I was impressed to see McCain show the first spark of compassion I’ve ever seen him show. So now we know his floor for empathy—if you make a quarter million…
It doesn’t stop, huh? As Jesus’ General says, “The Confederacy lives on at Fox News.” Here’s a screen cap of its web site: And in similar news as Jesse mentioned, unregistered-to-vote Joe the Plumber compared Barack Obama to…Sammy Davis, Jr (no lie, it’s about 3:00 into this CBS interview w/Katie…
Is an idiot. To clarify: Joe uncritically accepts everything McCain tells him, but finds Barack Obama shifty and dancing and just generally Sammy Davis Jr.-like, because black people dance or somesuch thing. It’s like watching a pundit from six months ago tell you about Barack Obama’s challenges with the electorate.…
