Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

In after Baud. Damn.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

People are complicated. Love is not.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Republicans don’t trust women.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

    Nah. Who am I kidding?

    @MikeBoyScout:

    So, by wingnut logic Dr. Paul Krugman is an anti-Semite????

    Naaah, Krugman is Jewish; so by wingnut logic, anything he says that they don’t like is attributable to his being a “self-hating Jew“: a separate-but-equal dismissal…

    Jesus, the little Nazi they quote calls it “Porkulus”, Powerline is some sort of time-warping event horizon, I haven’t read that spectacular loser of a phrase in right-wing media in years and I read a lot of blah blah blah

    @Professor: Yes, but the word anti-semitic was first used for self description by people who only applied it to Jews.

    Just as the teabaggers were the first to call themselves teabaggers, anti-semites were the first to call themselves anti-semites.

    In addition to being bigots they’re stupid too.

    Which has nothing to do with how silly it is to call Paul Krugman an anti-semite.

    Some people at age 17 have ideas that as they mature realize that they were badly formed, unknowledgeable, or naive.

    Other people (cough Randians) act like they have the intellect of a 17 year old their whole life.

    From John Maynard Keynes: The Economist as Savior, by Robert Skidelsky:

    On 25 August 1933, he wrote to Professor Spiethhoff, who was arranging the publication of a German translation of “National Self-Suffiency:

    Forgive me for my words about barbarism. But that word rightly indicates the effect in Germany on all of us here..It is many generations in our judgement since such disgraceful events have occurred in any country pretending to call itself civilized…If you tell me that these events have taken place ,not by force, but as an expression of the general will..that in our view would make some of the persecutions and outrages of which we hear…ten times more horrible.

    Some Anti-Semite, there.

    “Cause hey, if Darwin was a racist then that totally would mean evolution was false, right?”

    Sadly, yes. Or it would mean that anything he said would be drowned out by cries that he was a racist, thus discrediting any ideas he might have had.

    Just look at blogs.

    @carpeduum: What the fuck, strange dude. You’re constantly going on about how much you hate this blog and everything Cole writes. If you not only keep reading this blog, but you then click on all his links and read those blogs too… looks like no one’s wasting your time but you.

    Dunno, John. That’s pretty pathetic, but for sheer head-scrambling idiocy in Anti-Semite baiting, no one will ever, ever, ever beat Donald Douglas and his flip-out at the kid carrying this sign, reading SASQUATCH IS REAL, whereupon he wrote:

    Then turning around, I saw this kid yacking it up for the crowd, obviously having a blast with this ugly Jew-hating sign. And what does that mean, “SASQUATCH ISRAEL”? This is a play on the “legitimacy myth” of Israel’s existence. As there’s of course a “Sasquatch myth,” it’s worth noting the implied comparison: that Israel is also an ape-like beast existing only in historical folklore. Absent legitimacy, Israel has “no right to exist.” This kid’s sign is but one more example of eliminationist anti-Semitism. And look at how overjoyed he is in boasting this hatred. Creepy

    Even better, Mr. Douglas only doubles down on his analysis of the Jew-hating left when called on this idiocy:

    “Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I’m dumb. I stand by what I wrote, either way.”

    Priceless, man. Priceless.

    Let’s say Krugman likes landscape paintings. Do you know who else loved landscape paintings? Hitler.
    It would seem that by Steven Hayward logic, Krugman hates Jews on that fact alone.
