Did the worm hit again? I am having a hard time reaching a lot of sites. Of coruse, if it did, I am not sure how you would read this to respond, as Oliver Willis noted.

The normally even-keeled Kos has gone off the deep-end, most likely because of Ricky West’s incessant provocations. Normally when Kos comes out with both barrels blazing, people should watch out. This time, he shoots himself right in the integrity. Go read it. I will wait.
Yeap- the G.O.P. is the party of racists- why? Because Kos and other bloggers say so. I guess it is time to update my klan membership. But lets look at something for a second. Let’s apply the Democrats most hated smear, with the same looseness of facts. Let’s try to tar all Democrats as closet reds- fair is fair, right? So, without delay, here is the evidence that the Democrats are the Party of Communists:
1.) Hillary Clinton’s friendly association with the following groups: National Lawyers Guild, CISPES, the New World Foundation, as well as her early writings, association with communist groups, and visceral opposition to the money and greed of the 80’s while cashing in on insider information, and her Michael Lerner inspired religious views.
2.) Bill Clinton. Not only did he leap at the opportunity to normalize relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, a war he skipped and spent in London and Moscow being indoctrinated by the hard corp communist left, but Clinton spent years raising campaign money from the Communist Chinese, but he also turned away from evidence that his administration was allowing secret missile technology to head to the Chinese.
3.) Bernie Sanders– do I need to post more on him? As I have learned from Kos today, a hit is a hit.
4.) The Congressional Progressive Caucus
5.) Barbara Lee, Cynthia McKinney, and Ron “Red” Dellums.
6.) Democrats and A.N.S.W.E.R.– Hey- a smear is a smear, might as well go all out.
7.) The Democrats Southern Strategy- telling all African-Americans that a vote for a Republican is a vote for a church burner, a vote for lynching, or the dragging death of Bames Byrd. I am not even bothering to link to it.
I could go on and on, but what is the point? I am sure there are a number of Democrats reading this who are surprised to have woken up this morning only to learn they are Communists. Believe me- I was surprised to learn I was a racist this morning- it really pissed me off, because I just bought brand new linen (a really high count). Now that I am in the party of racists, I guess I have to go cut holes in my pillowcases. I hope someone will be kind enough to direct me to tonight’s cross-burning. I have never been to one before.
Get it, Kos? There are racists in the Republican party. There are racists in the Democrat party. There are communists, socialists, etc. in the Democrat party. Big deal. I don’t think the handful of communists in the party have any more of an impact on the party agenda than the racists have on the mainstream of the G.O.P. You guys can stop the smearing anytime, particularly since it gets us nowhere.
Obviously, the response will be that the Republicans use ‘secret code’ and do things to ‘send the message’ to the racists. Amusing that the only people to know the ‘code words’ any more are Democrats.

Atrios links to this exchange between Paul Begala (ptooey- I have to spit every time I say his name) and Sen. James Inhofe (R., OK):
INHOFE: That isn’t true. That isn’t true. The Al Hussein missile goes further than that. And by the way, that would reach every capital in that whole region out there.
How do you know they don’t have a missile? We know one thing for sure, China has been trading technology and systems with Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, North Korea now for years and years. Indigenously? No they’re not going to have one. But they’re getting dangerously close to having one. We can all have reason to suspect. Why would they not if they’re trading with these countries?
It was your guys back during your president, Bill Clinton’s time in 1998…
BEGALA: He was your president too, we’re all Americans.
INHOFE: Well, you make that determination…
BEGALA: I just — you look like American to me. United States senator.
All together now- Clinton is no longer President. Breathe in, breathe out. Pull yourself together Sen. Inhofe, and you will remember that the reason you hated him was because HE WAS YOUR PRESIDENT. Otherwise he would have been just some other loudmouth from Arkansas.
Grow up, really. Please?

I think the hardest job in sports is coaching the Ohio State University Football team. You could go 10-1 every year, win the Rose Bowl, but if you lose to Michigan, you get fired. Clearly, the second hardest job in sports is serving as Serena William’s sports bra.
