Question: Is it immoral for an illegal immigrant in the US to have an abortion to prevent birthing an “illegal child of God?’
Have a good afternoon. I am off doing other things.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!
In after Baud. Damn.
Everybody saw this coming.
So many bastards, so little time.
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.
fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.
I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.
GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.
Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll
How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.
Books are my comfort food!
It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.
Second rate reporter says what?

Hostages have been taken at a Hillary campaign office… WHERE’S ANDREW SULLIVAN??!
Dug Jay
Why do you want to know? Are you suggesting that he be swapped for the hostages? If so, I’m in favor provided that the hostages promise not to ever give him back.
gypsy howell
Oh this IS going to be a long election year.
Jeebus Christ on a popsicle stick. Taking hostages at a campaign hdqtrs?

What’s next, a Small Plane Crash?

Whaddya wanna bet we’ll see Faux News tonight claiming that Barack Osama personally sent his Muslim suiciders to her campaign office.
scarshapedstar
Hey, Osama’s got those Muslim ties. And, yes, they’re all half-Windsor.

IT’S A TRAP! CAUTION REPUBLICAN READERS!
Reading the above question may melt your frontal cortex, like that episode of Star Trek where Kirk destroys the evil space probe by trapping it in a logic loop.

Obligatory “Hillary set it up.” post.
gypsy howell
… and the Washington Post can have a front page story tomorrow about all the rumors going around that Obama’s campaign directed it.
Yes folks, it’s just gonna suck real bad all year.
Dug Jay
On further reflection, I believe a more appropriate individual to swap for the hostages would be ThymeZone, or as he’s known in his community, “The Phoenix Hermaphrodite.”
gypsy howell
Dug Jay’s comedy writers are still on strike apparently.
Zifnab
If she can’t protect her own campaign offices from terrorists, how can she protect any of us?
gypsy howell
Hmmm….. maybe it’s Rudy in hostage-drag, doing anything anything to get his ‘Sex On the City” episode off the airwaves today.

Have you ever considered a career with Fox News?

Flicks through Talking Point Textbook.
Okay, it sez here that I ask “Are the child’s organs already secretly reserved for transplanting into needy rich, white folks?”
If so, yes.
If not, then he (dealbreaker) has to be called Elian (dealbreaker#2)
Are we clear? Good. But don’t let anyone hear about this. We don’t want to be seen answering difficult questions, that would be neither fair nor balanced, and might bias the electorate against us.
ThymeZone
Oooh yah, dat’s gunna be haard, doncha know?
Because he’s just a dispooosable blog persooona and doesn’t actually exist.
Nice try, tho. Ooh yah.

I didn’t realize John was a gay General…

Well, I guess we’re back to Andrew Sullivan.

Yah, deere ya go!

Follow up: Is it immoral for illegal immigrants to have sex with people of the same gender to prevent the conception of illegal children of God?
Will someone please provide a damn link on the Hilary story?

Hostages taken at Clinton N.H. office

Just turn on one of the cable news channels or go to Drudge who has numerous Links.

BREAKING NEWS: In an unrelated incident John Edwards’ hair stylist has been kidnapped, no ransom note was found, sources close to the campaign said they don’t know what they’ll do and the shine may just fade on Edwards’ soft brown locks.
[ / end snark ]
this is going to be interesting.
ThymeZone
Al Jazeera doesn’t seem to have it. Isn’t that the Clinton-friendly channel?
JWeidner
That’s a suspicously Minnesotan accent there TZ.
Been in any MSP bathroom stalls lately?

Oooh ya, noooh, I’m all tapped out.

I would like it to be known that I called this one early on at Eschaton on a comments thread about the hostage-taking at Hillary HQ, and I have little doubt that rat-wingers are making this exact same comment in all earnestness, on their favorite blogs.
Grand Moff Texan
Is God powerful enough to ensoul an illegal child of God that even He cannot abort?

Grand Moff Texan
If she can’t protect her own campaign offices from terrorists, how can she protect any of us?
Her magic anti-terror rays must be failing.
Then again, if Bush couldn’t protect 3,000 Americans on 9/11, why did anyone trust him to protect the rest of us ever again?
.
Dreggas
In the spirit of sheer ridiculousness:
Oh. My. God.
r€nato
other predicted rat-wing comments on Hillary hostage-taking:
“If those gungrabbers had been packing heat, it would all be over by now!”
“This is clearly a left-wing plot to get sympathy for her, no Republican would do this!”
Jake
Oh I can’t wait to see what the fRightistanis make of this “Terra Attack.”
1. The Democrats should expect this sort of thing because they’re soft on Terra/teh gay/immigration…
2. Ha ha, wimpy Dems! If he tried this in a Republican HQ everyone would have gone all Jack Bauer Rambo on him.
3. Hitlery set it up to get attention.
4. Wishing HRC had been there and he had blown her up followed by claims they were just kidding, gosh why is everyone so sensitive?
5. All of the above.
Place your bets.
Me, I’m betting this guy turns out to be a citizen of Freeperville, RedState.
r€nato
clinton’s fault! clinton’s fault! bwak! bwak!
say…is the hostage-taker a white Christian Republican male? If so, I think that clearly calls for the racial profiling of all such people. Even if they get a little extra screening before boarding planes, it’s worth it to keep us all safe.
r€nato
i’m predicting that one comes from Jonah the Pantload.

“Illegal children of God” would be a good name for a band, especially a South American punk band. If any of you lurkers are South American punk rockers, you have permission to use it. Just thank me in the liner notes.
Grand Moff Texan
you have permission to use it. Just thank me in the liner notes.
… which would be very, very un-Punk Rock.
Just sayin’.

Well that made me laugh and groan at the same time… Nice!

Wow, they’re *really* upset about General Kerr, aren’t they? Give them their do-over, CNN, it’s not like they’re going to get any more votes from it.
Dreggas
Yes give them a do-over with questions from “REAL AMERICANS”, label it the CNN comedy hour.
Krista
From what I hear, MSNBC and CNN are delaying their coverage by a few minutes. They’ve both said flat-out that they don’t want to give any tactical information to the hostage taker.
FoxNews is broadcasting live images from the scene.
‘Nuff said.
libarbarian
She should be forced to have the baby which we will then deny any medical services.
Jen
If they do set up their own Special Olympics YouTube debate to only accept questions from undecided Republicans, will you guys please freep the entries with some of the questions we came up with before? I don’t have the time or the video camera, but I really want to see that happen.

That depends, John! If an Illegal Child of God is born out of wedlock, that would make him an Illegitimate Illegal Child of God, therefore, worth aborting! But, if the Illegitimate Illegal Child of Guide is born in the USofA, and the Illegitimate Baby’s Daddy is a ‘Murican citizen, then that child would be an Illegitmate Half-Legal Child of God, and possibly worth saving – but only if they take a loyalty oath to the GOP!
Things get REALLY confused, though, when we are dealing with other religions – hence, you may have off combinations, such as a Semi-Legitimate Possibly Legal Child of Jehovah, or an Embargoed Illegitmate Child of Muhammed, or an Illegal Illegitimate Product of a Godless Unrecognized Homosexual Union.
It’s just too complicated for us mere mortals to understand! Therefore, we MUST vote for Huckabee, or declare Bush Emperor!
Jake
Uh…
OK, I could see parthenogenesis for the ladies and that would make the talevangicals implode. Cool. But the original instance of parthenogenesis involved Zeus hatching a full grown woman out of his head. No thankee.
Zifnab
On a completely different note:
Don’t get a job as a teacher in Florida, because they won’t pay you if the market slumps.
Fortunately, some idiot is running around covered in road flares, threatening to get Hillary Clinton elected with too much media coverage. So I’m guessing this will never get past page A89 in the Grey Lady.

So when I first scanned that I saw

Aha! An open thread! Time to talk about the Duke Lacrosse rape case travesty!
Just kidding. Actually, I have an interesting guest post up today, Political Power in the Pulpit, written by the former mayor of Chillicothe, Missouri.
In it he relates how Mormon church officials pressured him in his capacity as mayor to give preference to their interests rather than those he was elected to represent. They even allegedly threatened him with excommunication if he did not!
He also wonders aloud if Mitt Romney ever had a similar experience as Governor of Massachusetts or if such pressure would be exerted on a President Romney.
I thought it made for interesting and thoughtful commentary. I hope some of you will too.

No, that’s the Obama-friendly channel. But I know. It’s hard keeping the wingnut conspiracy theories straight.
