Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

This fight is for everything.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Bark louder, little dog.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

In my day, never was longer.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

T R E 4 5 O N

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Un-Fucking-Believable

Campbell Brown appears to be battling Andrea Mitchell for premier pissy bitch of the conference, and has now openly accused three delegates as liars because the speakers are not moderate enough.

The coverage is unbelievable. The marching orders have been issued. Gay marriage is not an issue in the GOP, but the press is going to try to make it one.

Apparently these blathering idiots, from Chris Matthews on down, are under the impression that diversity in a party means everyone agrees on the issue of gay marriage. That isn’t diversity. Diversity means differing people with differing opinions gathered together under one roof. Do they agree on everything? No. But choosing the liberal cause of the day and claiming that total adherence to one side of the issue is the embodiment of diversity does nothing but demonstrate the extent to which the media and the liberals have hijacked the english language.

Remember, tolerance does not mean embracing things that you do notagree with. It means TOLERATING SHIT THAT PISSES YOU OFF, and remaining civil about the issue. When I say I have a low tolerance for pain, it does not mean I like pain, it means I can only put up with a certain amount of it.

Another example. I am not sure how much more of this bullshit from the media I can TOLERATE.

I have now heard them ask delegates ten times: “Arnold Schwarzanalphabet is pro-gay rights. Does that bother you? What does he bring to the convention knowing you disagree with him?”

Here is a question for you. How about the 90% of the DNC delegates who were against the war in Iraq, and the 60% who were against the war in Afghanistan? Kerry and Edwards are both in favor (depending on the poll numbers)- what do they have to offer the Delgates? Should they have been allowed to speak?

That liberal media. Idiots.

    If I am not mistaken that Campbell Brown sleazebag was ‘ol greasy Adel Jubair’s squeeze. I believe I sincerely speak for most Americans when I say eeeeeaaggghh!

    that should be “Adel Jubair’s squeeze at one time.”

    Only my beloved little juice monkey could write about “Delgates” and then call other people idiots.

    Speaking of brains, anybody catch those Bush twins on TV? My oh my oh my. I couldn’t stop laughing. God must be a Democrat.

    The lefty media defines diversity as all shades of opinion with which they agree. Any other opinion is not diverse but divisive. They define tolerance as accepting the New York Times view of the world. Failure to follow big media lead is both intolerant and stupid. They cannot concieve that any intellegent being would not be in lockstep.

    Oregonian-

    It is called a typo, and not a sign of intelligence or a sign of the accuracy of my argument. Of course, only an idiot would think that ‘My oh my oh my.’ is a full sentence.

    Ohdear- You came at the wrong time. I was and am still boiling over.

    Thoughtful? As in “characterized by careful reasoned thinking?” Please. You’ve come to the wrong spot. What you will find is some passionate (and frequently entertaining) opinion shouted back and forth. Here’s a hint: when you see “liberal media” used..well, liberally, to describe any news/entertainment group not aligned with a conservative agenda, you’re not entering a thinking zone.

    As I’m not watching any of the coverage, I was wondering about the 60% against the War in Afghanistan figure.

    Nuance (the irony), by definition, a liberal media is not aligned with anything conservative.

    By that line of reasoning, the entire Dem Convention was a sham because they didn’t denounce Bush as Hitler every 5 minutes….

    It’s ok. Most people are watching this thing on FOX.

    You see, the media expects a rep convention to include KKK members in full regalia, gap toothed rednecks firing guns into the air, and flashy oil barons with wads of cash falling out of their pockets while they yell yee-haw every 2 seconds.

    So it must be pretty infuriating to them that not only has the convention showcased incredible speeches, but the rising political starpower of the Republicans far outstrips anything the Dems can throw up there.

    Obama who? It’s Giuliani time!

    More Media Convention-Coloring

    I don’t know if the breathtaking media bias is actually worse this year or not, but it sure seems like it. It may be that, now that we have an alternative media to compare it with, the contrast is so noticable.

    It sure hammers home, though, how li…

    Why Bother Hiding It?

    I have been watching MSNBC the past couple of nights and I swear, I while I know women may be turned off by this, but is Campbell Brown on the rag or something?

    I’m sorry, but her open disdain for the delegates on the floor of the RNC is pathetic. …
