McCain must have money on Obama
That’s the only thing that makes sense. The hare-brained scheme to duck the debates by pretending to be above it all isn’t fooling anyone—even the grumpy trolls defending it on the blogs see it as a political ploy, but just applaud McCain for appealing to their anti-social, “fuck the voters”…
The more things change
“What’s that sound?” “That? Why, that’s just ol’ George spinning in his grave.” So I got a rare opportunity to sleep in this morning, but I did have a really weird dream: I dreamed that Augustienne, who had gotten up before me, came in to tell me that some bigoted…
Blackazoid: A Different Kind Of Nigger
Rush Limbaugh’s decided that Obama’s hiding his real ethnicity from the American public…and he’ll expose the truth to an unwitting public. These polls on how one-third of blue-collar white Democrats won’t vote for Obama because he’s black, and — but he’s not black. Do you know he has not one…
Freakshow: Florida protest by ‘Blacks Against Obama’
Can this election season get any more bizarre? Of course we’ve got the PUMAs and the Log Cabin peeps displaying an incredible willingness to present embarrassing, debasing, credibility-crushing arguments in service of John McCain’s candidacy. There is also a mind-boggling tiny anti-Obama “movement” backed by an anti-choice, anti-LGBT black preacher…
Rabbit food is lady food
Via Matt, this quote from Adam Serwer is priceless: If Obama does lose, count me among those who will count race as a major factor. The double standards in this race are absurd — imagine if one of Obama’s daughters had been pregnant, or consider that arugula, which is available…
Blackazoid’s Folly
Some lady that I’ve never heard of and couldn’t care less about is supporting John McCain after months of supporting John McCain. McCain, having won the support of the rich woman caricature from an August 1965 edition of the New Yorker, is also mocking Obama for attending an expensive fundraiser…
Ann Althouse Is A Law Professor
Apparently, Wisconsonians (?) are a sympathetic people: York notes that “nearly all commentators” have accepted Obama’s assertion that he voted for the bill because he was concerned about protecting young children from sexual predators, but: The fact is, the bill’s intention was to mandate sex education, especially concerning contraception and…
Totally Sexist
I can’t believe Barack Obama said something this awful and sexist: How dare he call John McCain a pig! Oh, that wasn’t what you meant? It was aimed at Sarah Palin? After a list of criticisms that Obama’s been making against McCain since Palin was just a twinkle in the…
Obama Should Flip His Shit
Barack Obama is cooler than the other side of the pillow…and this is a bad thing. Yglesias talks about how narratives are formed, but the problem is that the core narrative of presidential politics is still focused on two simple ideas: 1.) Republicans are successfully communicating with the American people.…
Blackazoid: Origins
Ezra points out that the constant mockery of Obama’s time spent community organizing is a racial dogwhistle, which sounds about right. He spent time digging around in the surefire pool of racial resentment that is any group of black people larger than three that aren’t wearing sports uniforms, meaning, of…
