American Idol’s Jason Castro gets the boot!

PSYCH! (Shhh. I’m going to make happen by sheer force of will.)

UPDATE:
Shit. So much for force of will. Oh well, Brooke sucks anyway. If it couldn’t be Poopyhead leaving, I’m glad it’s her (although I’ve wished for Susan/David A. to go home since the first week).

Some days, I hate Google traffic

I STG, it’s like Google sometimes exists (for me) just to bring aggravation in the form of asshat drive-by commenters. Last week, I added at least five white supremacists to The Ban List who descended on the Rozita Swinton post, and yesterday I added a professional troll. The others who bother to comment are almost always either painfully stupid and write like brain-damaged teenagers texting messages to their dumbass friends, they’re dumping massive copypasta, or they’re stupid moonbats spewing their Barry Obama/Howard Dean-supplied talking points. And it’s always on older posts, which means I never get to enjoy a good old-fashioned beat-down on the offenders with the regulars here. Not that a beating is really necessary, when at least 99% of the time they’re just drive-bys anyway. Failtrolls fail.

Sorry, I just had to vent. It’s nice having decent Google search results - it does bring in traffic - but damn, the traffic quality suuuucks.

Internet Fuckwad Theory

AI Final 5 perform Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond is here this week. The dinosaurs just keep coming…

Activate the Internet Hate Machine!

Feel like slapping around a real world-class internetard asshat? Remember the Nazi Kier O’Neil? Er, I mean the guy Kier O’Neil, who is unemployed and looking for work?

Have at him.

I wouldn’t normally put out a call like this, but this Kier O’Neil nazi deserves the full Internet Hate Machine treatment. I banned him from here as soon as he attempted to leave his hate-filled fistfuls of poo here. Kier O’Neil has his own website on which he can spout his nonsense.

P.S. Good luck with the job search, Nazi Kier O’Neil. LOL.

I really think Barack Obama believes we’re stupid

I’m already tired of talking about the latest Wright Eruption, but this pretty well sums up my sentiments about Barry Obama’s presser today.

I don’t think anyone believes Barry is of the same mindset as Wright; his problem is the fact that he’s a coward. While Oprah Winfrey and no doubt hundreds of others over the years found Wright’s tenor unsettling enough to leave, Obama didn’t have the guts to do so himself. He didn’t have the sense to understand that this bomb-thrower would end up being a problem. Maybe he thought only racists would vocally object to Wright, I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter, though. What matters is Barack Obama is obviously not a good judge of character, doesn’t understand most Americans, and doesn’t have the courage to speak the truth to the man for whom he named his autobiography until he is in a desperate situation. Note that this is the same Presidential candidate that can’t take the heat from reporters in the debates or when asked questions outside a formal, staged setting. This is the same guy who refused for two years to go on Fox News, for crying out loud. (What kind of unity is that when you avoid a large swath of voters? But I digress.) What the hell is he afraid of? If he can’t handle questions from a mostly friendly press (and that includes Fox News!), how on earth is he going to handle the really difficult questions that arise as President?

Obviously I have no intention of voting for Barry Obama and his tired old quasi-socialist, Chicago Democrat machine, hopey-changey, self-indulgent ideas, anyway. But damn. I’ve said in the past that if I were a dopey lib, I’d probably end up voting for Barry - although I really don’t know, because I can’t imagine being a lib, and I find no reason to vote for him other than the fact that his last name isn’t Clinton. I sure wouldn’t now, though. But then, if I were a lib, I’d probably not care so much about having a President/Commander in Chief with cojones, with intestinal fortitude, while we’re at war or otherwise. I’m sure he does want to be a candidate for “unity,” but he’s not a legislator of unity, and he’s not chosen to disassociate from divisive, hateful people. Not until it was a political necessity, that is. His public persona is just as illusory as his campaign of Hopey-Change. “This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen,” as Slick Willie correctly said.

I do feel a measure of compassion for Obama’s predicament; he was right when he said Wright showed no consideration for him or his campaign. He was absolutely betrayed by this vengeful, narcissistic man. People will say Obama threw Wright “under the bus” (man, I’m sick of that phrase), but really, Wright threw him under the bus yesterday when he went out and threw fuel on the fire. Wright is out for himself, his own glory. But all that said, Jeremiah Wright is quite arguably the same pastor he met twenty years ago.

Obama must think us all bitter morons to try and pass off this embarrassment as the product of some kind of ideological evolution on Wright’s part.

We’re ignorant, so we’re full of hate. Bitter.

I may change my opinion of this for better or worse as time goes on. A lot of that is going to frankly depend on how this evolves, and you can be sure of one thing - it will continue being part of Obama’s story, whether Obama and his supporters like it or not.

Urgent Call for Help

Time to help out one of our own. PLEASE.

For a little background on Stash, he served honorably in the Army for 24 years, most of that time was spent as a psychiatric nurse, some of you may remember Stashiu’s multi-part interview at Patterico’s Pontifications, where he spoke about his time as a Psychiatric Nurse at Guantanamo Bay. He’s always been a good source and unique perspective on issues of terrorist detainees and detention policy, particularly with Guantanamo.

Stashiu is the proud father of two adopted daughters. Unfortunately, Stash later found that the lawyer who was supposed to square away all the legal paperwork for the adoption didn’t quite get it right, so he has to now backtrack with new lawyers to get things right and finally seal the deal. The process is costing Stash and his family a king’s ransom.

The tough financial situation and worry over the prospect of losing his two daughters is unsurprisingly starting to wear him down and take a toll on his health. Several people have been in contact with him over the weekend and suggested he start up a donation account. Stash now has an Amazon account, the Amazon widget should appear on his right sidebar, if you can help, it would be a wonderful thing. Even if you don’t have the financial means to offer any any help, offer him your prayers and best wishes. Stash is a damn good guy, a good father and has given over two decades of service to our nation, let’s see what we can do to can help him.

You know what to do.

Miley Cyrus and Vanity Fair, from the mom of a Miley/Hannah Montana fan (UPDATED)

Y’all know I have a daughter of the Hannah Montana-fan age. I sort of feel obligated to say something because I am so absolutely disgusted, but I almost feel talked out on the subject, at least with my daughter. I’ve certainly spent more time thinking about it than I’d expect, but nobody ever said parenting a young girl nowadays was easy, I guess. I just needed to talk about it with my daughter before I wrote about this episode here.

The short version: If you read Vanity Fair now, after this, you are actively part of the problem.

But that’s not all I can say. Not by a longshot. I’m not going to post the pictures here; they’re everywhere else anyway. I will not put a child in provocative poses on display for pedophiles to ogle. I’m kind of annoyed that everyone expressing outrage is doing it, but I guess people figure it’s everywhere else already, so whatever. I’m just not going to.

So okay, what the hell were her parents thinking? Is Billy Ray Achy-Breaky-One-Hit-Wonder Cyrus worried that his cash cow daughter has peaked? Is he afraid she’ll end up “washed up” at 16? What in God’s name do her parents think these pictures appeal to, in Vanity Fair magazine? It’s not like nine year-olds read it - hell, as the parent of a nine year-old, even I don’t read it. I loathe their Hollywood-NYC celebrity voyeur/porn mentality, their libertine hedonism, and their liberal politics. And Annie Leibovitz? Seriously? Does that idiot father of hers not know the style of photography she does? Oh wait, of course he does. Even Miley Cyrus knew, at 15.

Gawker, certainly no blog championing the rights of children or sexual modesty, calls out Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, and this is a whole lot of what I fear as well:

There’s a technique called “grooming” that pedophiles use on their victims (yes, we just learned about it today, thank you). One definition says “Grooming behavior is intended to make the victim or potential victim or victim’s guardians feel comfortable with the molester and even interested in interacting with him.” And here’s a characteristic of a regressed child molester: “They place pseudo-adult status on their victims and then view them as they would their peers.”

Isn’t that what it’s really about? Appealing to child predators? Weren’t we JUST talking about a legal case in Texas where girls this age are being married off and having children with much older men? That’s objectionable, but not this?

Gawker goes after Leibovitz here, too:

Yes, a free press extends into the celebrity arena, and yes, we’re all for openness in reporting, obviously. But Leibovitz, who has earned over the course of her career the right to call the shots on the photos that fill our country’s glossiest magazine pages, has lost her perspective. It’s a matter of very simple decency, and one doesn’t have to be a prude, or a conservative, or even someone frustrated with the sheer vapid nature of these things, to steer clear of sexualizing children for the sake of selling more magazines.

E X A C T L Y.

The kid is 15 years old. What’s she going to do with her consenting parents there, and Annie Leibovitz the renowned photographer? Resist? Not bloody likely.

Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought it was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.

God, I hate these vultures’ guts.

You know, it’s been like a death watch of sorts, just waiting, hoping this sweet girl wouldn’t have a Britney-Jamie Lynn-Lindsay moment, like they all do. I know that’s awful, just waiting for it to happen, praying she would be different. Certainly, this isn’t a Britney-Lindsay (or God knows, Jamie Lynn) moment, but it’s a warning shot of sorts. Billy Ray Cyrus has let the world know that it’s okay to think of his 15 year-old daughter as a sexual object, with a greedy assist from Leibovitz and Vanity Fair, all to happy to get the big star and the publicity that attends her. Controversy and moral/ethical considerations be damned, it’s about money.

Now of course, Miley’s put out a statement expressing regret, although I doubt she thought to do that all on her own. I’m not one to talk about a “bonfire” of Hannah Montana crap, but I don’t know where to go next with my daughter’s favorite actress/singer. Even I like Miley, and I’m certainly no fan of bubblegum pop at all. I don’t fault her; I fault all the so-called adults around her who should damn well know better. Fifteen year-olds, even millionaire stars like Miley Cyrus, simply do not know what the sexualization of kids is about or what it does to them.

Please, Miley, show all of us–mothers, daughters, and dads, too–that we are worrying for no reason in your case. Our daughters are crazy about you, and we need you (and your young celebrity peers) to be worthy of their adoration. Make this really be “a mistake.” Please.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: My friend Bill emailed me this; please read it.

Here’s a site that will interest you:

http://www.minorcon.org/miley1.html

You probably didn’t watch the Donna Reed show, but it was a big TV Family show. Paul Petersen played the son. His site is mainly aimed at current, and former child stars. Some of the stories will break your heart:

http://www.minorcon.org/toc.html

Bill followed that up with a link to help support the fight against child exploitation in pop culture. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I wish the major gossip sites like Gawker, TMZ, etc. would make this organization known to their readers as well.

My friends, it is no longer a question of IF we’ll make things better for professional children, but WHEN. We remain committed to our intervention and support mission as well, acting through several vehicles. We are tied to many delivery systems for help in substance abuse and treatment, we continue to offer financial aid and no-cost counseling and mentoring programs. We continue to serve on the Young Performers Committee (now starting our 7th year) and attend the continuing Orientation Meetings for young performers and their parents held every 3rd Tuesday of the month at Screen Actors Guild headquarters in Los Angeles.

Legislation is working its way through the process in KANSAS and NORTH CAROLINA, plus Iowa, Arizona, and Texas. We will have an up-date on those endeavors shortly. House Bill 2838, just so you’ll know, passed out of the Kansas Assembly 122-0 in late-March.

We’re on a roll.

Let me close this report by asking for your financial support. A Minor Consideration is no longer a small concern. Our interests are global. I would not have to ask if our mission had remained just caring for former kid stars down on their luck. We are into Prevention now. Our initial charter and mission statement remains in place. It’s the work that has changed. We are using the tools of the electronic generation to make contributions a bit easier for you. Your financial assistance is vital. We take no fees for any of our services. No one has yet to draw a salary. As our record of accomplishments grows you can be sure that we’ll put your money to good use.

Lest you think we forgot about Miz Porky–er, I mean Hillary…

I guess since Hillary hasn’t been able to keep up with Barack Obama in the fundraising game, she’s looking for money to hold her Senate seat. Lots of it, in fact.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has requested nearly $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009, almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year.

*gulp* What the hell? $2.3 Billion? With a B? Wow. I guess since it’s too late for the New York primary, she’s just covering her bases. Hey, how’s she going to run in 2012 if she can’t keep her seat in New York? A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do, and what’s $2.3 billion between friends? Errr….oh yeah. Triple what everyone else asked for.

Allah adds:

This would have been a sweet talking point during the general election; too bad she had to go and tank on us in the primary. No matter. Obama’s nicely compromised on this subject as well: $98 million in special earmarks for FY2008 compared to a big fat doughnut for McCain.

Got that? A big fat doughnut. None of that drunken sailor spending for McCain, which should make even the most anti-Mac conservatives happy as well, at least. (”Should,” but I usually choose not to read the often-deranged chatter in the Hot Air comments.)

Maybe Hillary’s buying everyone in New York State their own flak vests and helmets to protect them from sniper fire. Probably a fleet of armored personnel carriers, too.

On Wright’s “missing context” argument and “attacking the black church”

I think Reverend Wright has made the point a thousand times now–as has Barack Obama and his disciples–that we (the detractors) are taking things out of context. This is the most profoundly stupid argument I’ve heard, and it’s in fact yet another insult to imply such a thing.

Do they think we’re stupid? I thought so at first–that they thought we’d just accept that argument and not bother looking at “the context.” I don’t think so any more. Just what the hell sort of “context” are the apologists talking about? I heard the “context” that they want me to hear, I watched the Moyers interview (accurately called “Nerf Tee-Ball” by Jim Geraghty), I watched the “right-brained” speech at the NAACP and the “attack on the black church” speech and Q&A (accurately called a “horror show” by Baldilocks) and there’s nothing that makes “God damn America” sound like anything BUT “God damn America!” There’s nothing that makes what he said in the sound bites one bit more palatable.

I think some of the Obama/Wright apologists don’t even know what the hell “context” means. I actually think they heard this used as an excuse for some other faux pas somewhere, and thought it’d work in this case. I do not doubt at all any more that Wright and his apologists are that clueless and incapable of seeing how absurd the “context” argument is in this case. I can’t believe there’d be such a well-coordinated, synchronized blatant, nonsensical lie being pushed; it seems like it can only be blindness fueled by the echo chamber. It’s like proclaiming to the world that in fact, two plus two IS five, you dumbass right-wingers!

Of course, we’re all missing the point, the context, because we are racists, we’re evil, et cetera. Of course. If we only heard even more of what he says, we’d see that Reverend Jeremiah Wright is absolutely correct in everything he says. Why, it’s in the Bible! And how could we possibly miss it? It’s our own fault because we don’t like The Black Church™, which, of course, all teaches leftist liberation theology. They all say God damn America!

Baldilocks nails it, though - it’s actually not stupidity, it’s the megalomania and leftist orthodoxy of Wright and black liberation theology:

Megalomaniacs—a special species of narcissist–want the right to say and do anything they wish, but will deem any criticism of what they say and do as “unfair” (or “evil,” if they have some power over the critic). The criticism is never an honest difference of opinion or a mistake. And of course it is utterly impossible that the words, deeds and/or judgment of the narcissist are ever wrong. EVER. So it must be that those who oppose the narcissists words/deeds/judgment are willfully wrong and, therefore being unfair and unjust.

It is “unfair,” you see, to have a different opinion than Reverend Wright because, in his mind, any idea of his, especially one springing from his religion—a religion specially made for the self-indulgent–falls automatically in the realm of Good. Conversely, any opposing idea–specifically, opposing the idea that America is a whole-scale Oppressor, a Devil according to BLT - falls automatically under the rubric of the Enemy and will be judged as “unfair.”

Context. If you’ve seen “the context” and you disagree with Jeremiah Wright’s assessment of God, the world, and America, you are attacking the black church. You’re a hater.

Hater!

Jeremiah Wright digs in his heels at the National Press Club (Video added)

Just watched Jeremiah Wright speak at the National Press Club. What can I say? This is like watching a train wreck.

In short, what he said:
1) nobody complaining knows anything,
2) nobody listened to his sermons,
3) if you knew ANYTHING, you’d know he’s absolutely right about everything he’s said,
4) it’s all in the Bible, and
5) if you disapprove of him, you’re dissing his mama and you’re attacking the black church.

You really have to see it for yourself–the obnoxious arrogance, the broad brush with which he paints ALL black churchgoers and ALL people who disagree with his point of view, and especially the way he weaseled around the questions he was asked about Obama. Oh, and he got in his chickenhawk slam as well, when a question was asked about his patriotism. “I was in the Marine Corps, unlike Cheney” (paraphrased). Yeah, and Timothy McVeigh, John Allen Muhammad, and Lee Harvey Oswald were in the military, too. I’m sick of hearing about Wright’s Marine Corps service; it doesn’t absolve him of all sins or even prove that he loves this country. Clearly he does not love this country.

I’ve got news: this isn’t about attacking the black church. This isn’t about attacking blacks. Not all blacks agree with you, Jeremiah Wright, and not all defend your political statements or your theology. He’s got a lot of nerve–or maybe it’s just delusion. I suspect he’s more accustomed to interaction in an echo chamber.

I didn’t bother writing about the ridiculous appearance at the NAACP, but Ed Morrisey did. I was appalled at what he was saying then, but at least he wasn’t as combative - presumably because he was in an echo chamber. But this appearance at the National Press Club was just crazed. I can’t decide if I’m pissed or if I want to just laugh because he’s just provided a ton of fodder for the 527s supporting Hillary and McCain. I guess I feel both. Obama’s in deep doo-doo if Wright keeps this up - Juan Williams has said it’s almost as if Wright doesn’t want Obama to be President. I think he’s wrong; I think Wright actually believes people will identify with what he says. Either way, this is like watching a train wreck.

You just know Hillary Clinton is ecstatic right now. At the very least, Wright just handed her Indiana on a silver platter.

More later, maybe; I’m just reacting right now. I just can’t believe how offensive this guy is. I think I need to distract myself from this before I end up wanting to schedule a botox injection to erase the angry frown on my face.

UPDATE: Added link to ABC’s Political Punch above. ~~I’ll add video when I find it.~~

UPDATE 2: Via the HuffPo (I won’t even look at the comments - I’m annoyed enough already). This is only ten minutes of it, though, and it doesn’t have the worst of it, but it’s a decent clip of his extended rant.

Another update: C-SPAN has the full video (.rm format, bleccch).

“F*ck The South,” 2008 Edition

Nope, it’s not Obama (not this time, anyway). It’s just yet another disciple from his Amen Corner in the media - Michael Hirsch at Newsweek. No need for me to add a single thing to what (the other) McCain has written. Except maybe this…

Think I was kidding about Paultards hijacking the Convention? See Nevada.

Thankfully, the Paultard push to take over the North Carolina delegation failed. But listen up: these people DO NOT CARE about the will of the voters. They’re already creating havoc, this time in Nevada.

After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention.

Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul’s continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change that forced the state party to abandon its preset ballot of potential national convention delegates and open up the race to the rest of the state delegates.

The vote followed a rousing speech by Paul of Texas, who said his presidential campaign will continue as long as he has support.

But as the convention continued into the evening, chairman Bob Beers said the party’s contract for the hall at the Peppermill Resort Casino had expired and the event would be rescheduled.

“Due to a rules change that left us on an overtime basis, we will recess the convention until a date that we are going to announce next week,” Beers told a shocked crowd, which stood silent for a few seconds before erupting in boos.

As Beers was escorted out of the building, a short-lived effort to rescue the convention was launched by party activist Mike Weber. Although several hundred Paul supporters stayed, they weren’t strong enough to make a quorum to continue the convention.

Throughout the confusion, hecklers battled for the attention of delegates who supported U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Look, I appreciate the Paultards’ organizational ability - I wish “we” were better at it ourselves. But this is ridiculous - Ron Paul was on the ballot and the VOTERS DECIDED. John McCain is the choice of the majority of Republicans, and that is the party for which we have chosen a nominee. Not The Ron Paul Party.

Paul, who came in second in the Nevada caucuses, actively worked to ensure his supporters attended both the county and state conventions.

His contingent came to the state convention prepared for battle. They had a row of printers to print ballots for their supporters to the national convention. They set up a communications network using text messages to cell phones to make sure everyone voted correctly on motions that would benefit their effort. And they scoured the rules for opportunities to level the playing field.

“On the one side you have a candidate with principles, on the other side you have Tammany Hall,” said Kelly Edinger, a Reno Paul supporter. “I’m in it for Ron Paul. I still believe he can win.“

Do you really want crazed, delusional hooligans raising hell at the convention?

If you care about this, get active. If not, be prepared for the National Convention to be overrun with anarchists. We have our nominee and that isn’t going to change, but they will do everything they can to hijack, subvert, and disrupt the formal nomination process at the convention. Keep your eye on your state’s delegation, because things could get stupid really fast.

Patrick Ruffini knows what can happen.

But by far the biggest impact delegates can have is through floor demonstrations. In some ways, their reactions to the speeches set the tone for the convention, amplifying messages from the stage. Remember how Pat Buchanan enraptured the floor at the 1992 convention but lost the country? Or how the Texas delegates turned their backs on gay Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe in 2000? Now, imagine, Paul loyalists get 20-30% of the seats on the floor in St. Paul, controlling delegations like Missouri, with a significant presence in Minnesota, with closest promixity to the stage. Can the speakers safely voice a pro-victory message in Iraq without a significant amount of boos and catcalls? How will this look on television? And don’t forget, national conventions are also heaven for reporters trolling for off-message quotes from delegates.

It’s our own fault, y’all.

I can’t fault them, can you? Dodging on loyalty oaths aside, all they are doing is Grassroots Organizing 101. Even the social conservatives who traditionally filled this role have punted, drifting into lifestyle-based forms of self-identification. What is remarkable is that this is being pulled off by an historically smaller and smaller base of people using the Internet. All because the regular Republican organization across the country is demoralized, demobilized, and eviscerated.

Read the whole thing. Get off your butts and take back the party. Quit complaining about how it’s too “RINO” if you aren’t willing to do something. If you don’t take back the GOP, real RINOs will.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again until it sinks in: when you disengage and do nothing, you GET nothing. That goes for your level of support for John McCain, too - if you do nothing but hold your nose and vote, how on earth are you ever going to have your voices heard? People have complained for years about the influence of the “Religious Right” on the party (whether you agree with that or not), but they’re organized and at least until now, have reliably made their views relevant by donating, organizing, and activism - at a level disproportionate to their numbers. And now we have the paleolibertarian truthiness wing of conservatism speaking up. If they were to get behind McCain, they’d have a voice in a McCain administration too (of course, they won’t get behind him, because just like RP, they’re ineffectual absolutists). We of the “Silent Majority” can afford to be silent no more, not in the age of the internet and instant communications.

Pinging Nice Deb and This Ain’t Hell so they get this update to their posts.

Paultards trying to subvert the National Convention for their guy

I saw this at Digg (where else?) last week, but ignored it after burying it. It seems, though, that Paultards are quite serious about hijacking the Republican Convention. If you don’t want to see the “plan” at the Paultards’ blogs, read it here. Snip:

*The Strategy:*

The strategy therefore must be to get as many Ron Paul delegates selected to represent their states at the National Convention.

That means our delegates need to stay low-key.

Resolutions are a dead giveaway, especially when they are fought over things like opposition to the war, or abolishing the Federal Reserve and the IRS, all signature issues of Ron Paul.

So, the best plan is to shut up, move along, do what you have to do to get selected, sign the pledge to “support” McCain (it doesn’t say you promise not to abstain!) and just get in short of outright lying, of course.

If there are any ethical concerns about this supposed “stealth tactic,” think about what ethical concerns you may have if you allow McCain to become president by your inaction. [Continue reading...]

Ethics? We don’t need no stinkin’ ethics! It’s REVOLUTION! Forget about the sheeple’s votes, this is a coup!
/vomiting

At least one person is fighting back. Heather Johnson of Moms4Mitt.com:

I am a Mitt fan and have a blog for his support. But I have also pledged on my blog my support for McCain as a our GOP nominee. I am trying to do my part in stopping these Ron Paul fans from overtaking the convention with their agenda nonsense and just get McCain officially nominated.

Heather is trying to just GET to the convention, but she needs help (financially) getting there. If you can drop a few shekels her way, you’ll be doing your part to shut up these asshat Paultards. Make no mistake, they are extremely well-organized (online activity and caucus results should tell you that much) and you can be sure they’ll make their presence known at the National Convention. Unless you want to see the GOP have an even more f’d up convention than it looks like the Dems will have, the Paultard kiddies must be stopped.

Ron Paul has even given tacit support to this idea (or that’s how it’ll be read by his fanatic supporters), while leaving his options open for a third party run:

“I’ll be very cautious about what I do,” he said, noting his effort to encourage his supporters to get involved with their local Republican committee.

And you know Ron Paul–he’s a stickler for the last letter of the Constitution. If it can be interpreted to allow this “loophole” that can get him nominated–or at the very least, create chaos–it’s A-OK. He’ll say this is exactly what the Constitution was designed for. (Nevermind the votes for the candidates–the votes for delegates matter more? LOL.)

Please help Heather out - I absolutely vouch for her honesty and ethics 100%. She needs help getting to the Convention, and we need to put the final nail in the Paultard coffin of crazy once and for all.

Ron Paul Revolution = OVER

Jeremiah Wright is totally clueless.

BAH. I just watched that Bill Moyers/Jeremiah Wright shit on PBS. He has no idea what people are complaining about, and he has no comprehension of why we’d object to anything he says. He needs to get out of his echo chamber if he cares at all about why people are disgusted. I don’t think he does care about what anyone thinks, though - not that he’s obligated to, but if he cares about Barry’s Presidential run and is going to go on a media tour, he’d better get educated fast. He keeps saying “it’s theology,” and that’s it. He doesn’t seem to understand that we know, and the more we know, the more we’re repelled by it.

Bill Moyers…LOL. I’m thinking he only got the interview because he must have agreed to toss softballs. Even funnier, he showed longer clips from Wright’s sermons (”God damn America” and “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” to be specific), as though it would make everything different. PUHLEEZE. These people - Wright, Moyers, Obama, and all Obama’s sycophants - must think everyone is farkin’ stupid. Maybe they aren’t intelligent enough to realize there was context without seeing it, but most adults are. Sorry, but the context in which those things were said didn’t change what I found offensive AT ALL. In fact, “in context,” he built his case for saying those things.

Whatever, dude. That interview was a fully loaded C-5 of F A I L. I really tried to give the benefit of the doubt and/or see the good in what he was saying, but there wasn’t much to work with.

UPDATE: These two videos have the context in which “America’s chickens are coming home to roost” and “God damn America” was said–this is what Moyers showed (actually, he may have showed a little less). You tell me–this makes it all okay? Not. Even. Close. I laugh at the sycophants who think this changes everything. WHAT it changes, I have no idea. I guess they think that because he invoked the name of God it’s all correct? LOL.

This one is Wright’s “chickens.”
