Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Bark louder, little dog.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

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

I really should read my own blog.

In my day, never was longer.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Now It Makes More Sense

This post is in: ,

All of a sudden the asinine Holocaust remarks from Tucker Bounds and Goldfarb make more sense:

Barack Obama has caught up to John McCain in Florida. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Obama with a statistically insignificant one-point advantage over his rival, 46% to 45%. When “leaners” are included, the Democrat leads 49% to 47%.

Over the past six months, McCain has maintained leads ranging from seven to sixteen percentage points. Last month, McCain led 48% to 41% in the Sunshine State.

A big push for Obama this month in Florida comes from unaffiliated voters. Last month, he had just a three-point lead in this demographic. This month, he leads by twenty-three.

You can almost hear them at McCain HQ- “Oh, shit. We are losing Florida. Time to scare the shit out of the Jews.”

    I so hope McCain picks Romney. The already hilarious campaign will get twice as funny.

    Here comes Obama’s Jewish problem again. Only 60% of Jewish Americans have a favorable opinion of him. Good news for McCain!

    Now that Obama has placated the Jews and assured them he’s just as keen on killing brown-skinned Muslims as McCain is enter Bush.

    Bush orders the attack on Iran mid-October, putting Obama on the spot just before the election. If he can’t get his lips unglued from Israel’s ass and ends up supporting the attack, he loses lots of voters on the left. If he denounces it, he’s an ANTI-SEMITE.

    All McCain has is war – Bush will give him one for the road.

    Yes, because if there’s one thing the Jews are know for, its being gullible and stupid. Good luck with that Oldey McOlderson.

    Obama has a serious problem among black voters. Only something like 94% of them say they support Obama, and I think Bubba did better than that in one of his elections.

    OT, but I gotta post this. The halarity is too damn much. This is all you need to read:

    Rep. Duncan Hunter’s (R-CA) staff recently contacted the U.S. embassy in Chad to see whether he could visit the country and distribute food at a refugee camp. He said he wanted to hunt wildebeest and then distribute the meat to the refugees. The embassy, however, wasn’t too happy with this idea — especially because there are no wildebeest in Chad:

    I have it on good sources that he’s refused to visit Canada when he found out he couldn’t fish there for Nemo, pulled out of a trip to England when he discovered that it’s not actually Doritos that come with the fish and tartar sauce, and refused to go to NASA when he found out it wasn’t the one in the Bahamas.

    The retarded just makes my day.

    Hunter loves him some hunting on the sucker’s taxpayer’s dollar:

    CONGRESS — REP. HUNTER TRYING TO TURN NATIONAL PARK INTO EXCLUSIVE HUNTING PRESERVE: Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is “reviving a controversial proposal” to allow members of the military and “special guests” (perhaps members of Congress and high-powered lobbyist types?) to hunt deer and elk on a national park island off California. Last year, Hunter quietly tried to move control of Santa Rosa Island (40 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara) from the National Park Service to the Pentagon, but withdrew the plan after stiff opposition. He will reportedly revive his efforts today as the committee he chairs takes up a major defense spending bill. Hunter’s spin is that he wants to “permit disabled veterans” and others “to hunt and participate in other recreational activities” on the island, and also prevent the “extermination” of the game. But critics, including Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA), in whose district the island is located, point out that “military personnel already can visit the park, just like the general public.” Moreover, the National Park Service “says hunting restricts public access and makes it harder to promote native species like the endangered island fox.” As Capps said last year, “All Americans should have access to the Channel Islands National Park, not just top military brass, members of Congress and folks who can pay thousands of dollars to go on private hunting trips.”

    Thanks for the link. Dayamn. McCain challenging Obama to go to the ME is having Unintended Consequences. Jesus Babbling Christ why didn’t he just challenge Obama to some one-on-one hoops.

    I’m hoping that McCain picks the Exorcist, Bobby Jindal, for Veep. Exorcisms are hilarious.

    Part of my support for Obama comes from his pro-genocide policies.

    I just like him because he reminds me of Hitler.

    I think he’s targeting the ones who voted for Buchanan in 2000. Ya know, the old and stupid ones.

    There has been more of Teh Stupid coming out of the McCain campaign during the past 24 hours than anything that happened during the entire Democratic primary.

    That’s OK. I’m sure that there are boneheads who think that Obama is keen on killing light-skinned Muslims, too.

    While Jindal sure is stupid, see already mentioned fondness for excorsims, creationism and more, he’s not THAT stupid.

    It gets even better, a german paper interviewed Angela Merkel and she said she’d have a hard time refusing a Shoulder rub from Obama and that he is well put together physically, emotionally and politically.

    Of course that calls for cueing up some Lily Von-Schtupp.

    I’d settle for Charlie “I swear I’m not gay” Crist of Florida. That looks more likely today than ever before if McCain is hemorrhaging support in the state.

    John S.

    If he denounces it, he’s an ANTI-SEMITE.

    Or we could just say he’s an asshole with an axe to grind because he can’t say the word ‘Israel’ without getting the vapors.

    Wait, are we talking about Obama or Wilfred?

    Wow. I knew McCain got this wrong, but it’s amazing how spectacularly he got it wrong.

    Y’know the CBS thing, with McCain saying this?

    McCain: I don’t know how you respond to something that is such a false depiction of what actually happened. Colonel McFarlane (phonetic) was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks. Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that’s just a matter of history.

    Well, the obvious point was that the Anbar awakening came before the surge. But, that sheik he was talking about? Well…

    The major Sunni sheik who John McCain said was protected by the surge and subsequently helped lead the Anbar Awakening, was actually assassinated by an al-Qaeda led group in midst of the surge.

    On Tuesday evening, McCain falsely claimed that the downturn in violence in Iraq’s Anbar province was a result of the surge, when in fact the surge began months afterward. Moreover, he said, if it weren’t for the work of U.S. forces, the major Sunni figure leading that awakening wouldn’t have had the protection he needed.

    “Colonel MacFarland was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks,” said the Senator. “Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening.”

    Oh noes. It’s only July and Grampy has thoroughly Godwinned himself already. I mean, where do you go from here? You rant on too long about how all your opponents are nazis,etc., and pretty soon you’re reduced to the Mr Hilter sketch. Poor McSame. This is what comes of being unaware of all the internet traditions.

    Now, watch him bow out of the campaign for “health reasons” so that one of the other abominations can claim the nomination.

    OMG, Obama is using posters with his visage on it, just like the Nazis did! And using German on posters in Germany! And giving a talk at a famous place in Berlin, where Nazis also had speeches!

    I’m seeing a pattern here!
