Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

No Justins, No Peace

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

This blog will pay for itself.

The revolution will be supervised.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Trifecta

Republicans don’t like their black committee chair.

“He’s on a short leash here,” said one top House GOP leadership aide.

The National Republican Congressional Committee has a problem Nancy Pelosi.

[T]axpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place.

WorldNetDaily wants to torpedo Chai Feldblum, a Jewish nominee for the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

I’m telling you, the entire federal government is going to have to be fumigated some day when these deviants and degenerates are finally sent packing.

Peak Wingnut should arrive any day now. Ayup.

    History repeats itself:

    A public controversy erupted after a speech by Watt on September 21, 1983, when he said about his staff: “I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent.”[13] Within weeks of making this statement, Watt submitted his resignation letter.[13][14]

    Except, of course, for the ‘resign in disgrace’ part. That requires a sense of shame, notably missing in today’s GOP.

    I am a student at Georgetown Law and had professor Feldblum last year for a course on statutory interpretation. She is a brilliant, kind-hearted woman. Seeing these scumbags try to destroy her character is so infuriating. Feldblum wrote the Americans with Disabilities Act, she will be perfect for the position at the EEOC.

    Also, nice little language at the end there, WND. Fumigation, eh? Comparing political rivals (including a Jewish woman) to insects, where have I seen that before…

    WorldNetDaily wants to torpedo Chai Feldblum, a Jewish nominee for the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.

    It’s just as bad, but the objection to Feldblum is because she is an “outspoken gay rights advocate,” not because she is Jewish.

    Catholic Online writer referred to Feldblum as a “practicing Lesbian” and a “homosexual activist lawyer.”

    I don’t understand this objection to “practicing lesbians.” Do they really think she is just practicing, and hasn’t got it right yet?

    I normally agree with just about everything said here, and I am also a white boy, so maybe I am just not sensitive enough to this stuff, but I dunno … do you really think the guy was referring to the person’s jewishness when he said “fumigated”?

    Can you never ever refer to an African American as being on a “short leash”? I can understand why it is shameful to call them a monkey, but is a short leash really racially tinged?

    The “put her in her place” comment did seem pretty bad, as it immediately recalls the phrase “a woman’s place is in the kitchen”.

    Again, I mostly agree with you guys here, and I have solid liberal bona fides, but the “fumigated” and “short leash” outrage seems a little overblown. Where am I wrong?

    Intent doesn’t really matter, unless you’re trying to decide if a person was being insensitive or full-on racist or homophobic. Personally, I think anyone so out of touch to use that metaphor is pretty far along the road to the latter, so the minor distinctions don’t matter–you’re calling the people who inhabit the office filthy, the kind of people who cause vermin infestations and who won’t clean up after themselves. The association with the gas chambers might not have been intentional, but does anyone who’s already gone that far really deserve the benefit of the doubt on such a statement? Not from me.

    Same thing about the short leash–even if there’s no intent there, it’s still too loaded of an image to use in reference to a black person. Best way to tell how the person meant it would be to see how he or she responds when called out on it.

    I agree with you for the most part about the references to Feldblum and to Michael Steele.

    The writer clearly intended to insult Feldblum because she was gay and may even believe that most Jews are also homophobes.

    But I think that Tim has a point when he suggests that many conservatives don’t care who they might offend. I think they believe they can assemble another “silent majority” to defeat the Democrats.

    mistersnrub — I think this guy just wants to cleanse society of all us liberal vermin, no matter what our religious preference is…

    Yep. A lot of the stuff you see about Feldblum paint her as a radical leftist. For example,

    http://www.lifenews.com/nat5542.html

    “Once again, President Obama has demonstrated there is no one too radical to serve in his administration,” said Traditional Values Committee director Andrea Lafferty. “By picking Feldblum, he has signaled to his many fringe group fans on the Left that he will help them accomplish all of their goals.”

    What makes her such a fiery radical?

    Feldblum isn’t known by most Americans, but she has worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Human Rights Campaign Fund, another group that promotes abortion. From 1986-1987, Feldblum clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the notorious judge who handed down the Roe v. Wade decision that has allowed more than 51 million abortions.

    And so it goes.

    The reason that the Nazis had so much Zyklon B at hand to kill Jews with was that it was a commercial…. fumigant.

    Not just in Germany, either. Given the preoccupations of wingnuttery, this little nugget of history included in Wikipedia makes interesting reading:

    From 1929 onwards the U.S. used Zyklon B to disinfect the freight trains and clothes of Mexican immigrants entering the US

    The writer clearly talks about fumigating federal government buildings, not gay people or Jews. Presumably to get rid of the cooties left behind, after “these deviants and degenerates are finally sent packing.”

    The sentiment is still reprehensible, but it has nothing to do with fumigating people.

    Michael Steele always reminds me of a scene in “O Brother, Where Art Thou”. Pappy, the old corrupt southern governor, is complaining to his son and other advisors that his opponent is succeeding by running on “reform”. The son says, ‘People love that ree-form, we oughta get us summa that ree-form’. Pappy slaps him upside the head with his hat and hollers ‘we’re the incumbent’.

    I can just see a bunch of Republicans sitting around after the election, ‘People just love that black guy, we oughta get us a black guy’. ‘We’re Republicans’. Then they remember Steele.
