Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I really should read my own blog.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans in disarray!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

No one could have predicted…

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

This post is in: ,

Daniel Larison: “It’s a bad sign for RedState when Kossack diarists are more politically astute than the RedState folks.”

*** Update ***

I know when I am beaten:

The student paper at GW interviewed Horowitz on ‘Islamofascism Awareness Week’ and he seems to have let the cat out of the bag about the goal behind the event.

“I’m a prominent conservative but no one is inviting me to speak at their campuses,” Horowitz said in an interview with The Hatchet. “I had to create an event.”

    Ugh

    Hmmm…someone once said that redstatecom makes a lot more sense if you think of it as a complete shill for GWB and the republican party in general, rather than a site that tries to promote “conservative” ideas and principles. Now they’ve devolved down to being a complete shill for GWB and whoever ends up winning the GOP nomination.

    The thing is that there were trolls over at Red State describing themselves as Ron Paul supporters who deserved to be banned, but there were also quite a few legitimate Paul supporters — true libertarians — who argued vorciferously that the GOP had lost its way. Red State despised all of them, while claiming that the problem was just trolls.

    Its not as if DailyKos doesn’t have a significant troll presence… it does. But Kos has built a community of “watchers”, and created a user rating system that bring trolls to the attention of the watchers — and obviously trollish behavior results in deleted diaries and banning.

    Since Kos has shown the way in dealing with the troll problem, Red State’s actions can only be interpreted as fear of being confronted on a daily basis with the contradictions between the principals Red State claims to support, and the candidates and causes that are actually supported.

    RedState simply is no longer for conservatives. It’s for Bush synchophants only. You cannot go there as a fiscal conservative and rail on Bush’s spending policies without getting banned. You cannot go there as a “small-government” conservative and shred Republicans for all the spying, drug bill, etc crap they’ve allowed without getting banned.

    Basically, unless you think John Bolton is the answer for all this country’s ills, you’re banned.

    Redstate is the last bastion of the 24%’s:

    Domestic Policy: Know Nothingism.

    Foreign Policy: Christian Zionism.

    Everything else is negotiable.

    Is it true they picked the name “Red State” because their faces get flushed from a lack of oxygen when fellating Dear Leader?

    It’s really becoming less and less about “left vs. right” or “red vs. blue” and more about “sane vs. insane.”

    I just wish the “insane” still didn’t have their hands on so many levers of power.

    John,

    I beg to differ.

    This contains the quote of the day:

    …Or otherwise known as “See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me…or AT LEAST pay SOME ATTENTION to ME, PLEASE!!!”

    That’s just wholly and simply fucking Pathetic. It’s lamer than having to throw your own Birthday Party because nobody else will.

    “Islamofacism” served up as a prop for David Horowitz’s masturbatory self-promotional exercise.

    Thanks, Dreggas – it’s always fun to get Free Tickets to the Circus…’cuz everybody just LOVES to watch the clowns.

    Curious

    To say the moral and intellectual bankrupts at Redstate are merely not “politically astute” is more than an understatement.

    It is an insult to the genuinely politically ignorant.

    One quote defines Redstate.

    Streiff: “Dissent is overrated.”

    Seriously folks, you can’t make this stuff up. I’ll be here all week, try the fish, don’t forget to tip your waitress.

    One would think this kind of thing is manufactured, Domenech-style, but then when Malkin’s peeping through people’s windows to speculate on their countertops, nothing is beyond the nut-o-sphere.

    This classic piece about Horowitz from 2001 suddenly seems apropos. First graf:

    One thing you can say for David Horowitz: After almost 40 years of work as a political journalist, after a career in activism dating back to the civil rights struggle, after courting both Black Panther and GOPac tiger, after a miraculous conversion from the radical left to the woolly right, after writing books and columns beyond number, he is now capable of outwitting a bunch of college students.

    My sugggestion for QOTD (also from TPM)

    Rudy on whether waterboarding is torture:

    “I’m not sure it is, either,” said Rudy. “It depends on how it’s done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it.”

    And as for the media, Rudy said they’ve exaggerated the nature of waterboarding.

    “Sometimes they describe it accurately. Sometimes they exaggerate it,” Rudy said. “So I’d have to see what they really are doing, not the way some of these liberal newspapers have exaggerated it.”
