“There is more than a little evidence that there has been actual demonic or satanic activity going on within [Obama’s] circle and has been for many years. I believe the Omen analogy is quite apt.”
Yup, according to sometime Fox commentator and fulltime problem Erik Rush, Obama is Satan. Good to know the Right isn’t above name calling.
But at least there’s some good news today, as the Democrats went “nuclear” and pushed through a controversial change to Senate filibuster rules that will make it easier to approve President Obama’s nominees. We have a feeling the name calling isn’t done just yet.

So is this “Erik Rush” an actually person or is he the unfortunate laboratory result of an attempt to combine the DNA of Erik Erickson and Rush Limbaugh?

Remember when The Nuclear Option meant blowing up the Deepwater Horizon wreckage with an atomic bomb in hopes it would magically stop the leak? Yeah, me too.

And, in adjacent stories on my Google News feed I learn that today, after 82 years, three innocent poor black men were finally pardoned (posthumously) while, after 11 years in prison, a rich white convicted murderer was released on bail. The best justice system money can buy, indeed.

Just saw a clip on Rev Al’s show of Senator Grassley promising that when Repubs take control of the Senate, they’ll extend the filibuster nuclear option to Supreme Court nominees.
Of course.

@Patricia Kayden: well when the R’s next take control of the Senate, most likely Grassley will be one dead sonofabitch. In essence, fuck him and the group of hypocritical bastards of a political party that he’s a part of.

@Patricia Kayden: So Grassley is assuming there will be a Republican in the White House and no nominations for the SC will come up between now and Jan 2017?

Hmmm. Since I can’t watch the clip, what evidence is he pointing to this time that we elected Satan?

You know, people who say things like these used to be placed under medical care if they were lucky, and left to wander city alleys and sidewalks if they were not. The LAST FUCKING PLACE they’d be found would be interviewed on television.
Sometimes I feel as though American political discourse has turned into one big elaborate prank.

Very glad to see Harry Reid finally delivering after all these years.
All I want to see until year end is a stream of administrative and judicial appointments, since we still can’t pass any legislation in Congress as currently constituted.

After Obama, the Anti-Christ will be whoever wins the 2016 Democratic nomination. This isn’t unique to Obama.
Keith P
@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: Reminds me of a friend (hardcore right-wing) who has, for the last 2 elections told me that is has *the* most liberal voting record in the Senate. On Obama, I called him out with “Yeah, you said that about John Kerry, too.” It’s a common trick whenever a Congressman runs that a thinktank will score the candidate as having “the most liberal voting record in Congress”, but now it’s gotten so bad that you’ve got religious nutjobs getting on TV trying to prove that the Democratic candidate (or in this case, winner) fulfills antichrist prophecies.

@ranchandsyrup:
But Obama is black so that means there’s no such thing as racism any more.

@ranchandsyrup: something is fishy here. The police seem to be trying to drive him out of business. I mean, if the police were regularly preventing my employees from working and driving away my customers, I would assume that someone gave an order to bankrupt me.

Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
@Keith P: The thinking is that the Republican candidate is the Candidate of God so the Democratic candidate automatically has to be Anti-God or Anti-Christ. Where it gets fun (if you ever want to engage these idiots) is when you ask them if All This End Times Nonsense is God’s plan, then shouldn’t they be supporting the Anti-Christ? Of course, they will recoil from this idea and say God’s will shall come to pass regardless of what they do and that’s when you strike and say Exactly! That’s why God made the Republican candidate the Anti-Christ! Then you point out all this crazy shit about Mitt Romney’s religion and then they get spooked and stop talking to ya and eventually unfriend you on Facebook.
