The right has a bee in its bonnet about miscegenation
It was a drunken rant in a Washington Club about the subject getting back to Spence Abraham that got Anne Coulter fired from her job on Capitol Hill. She decided to try to impress a very conservative republican operative by telling him about the horrors of allowing oriental immigration and its future impact on the white race in America, without knowing that this guys equally prominent republican wife was Chinese and his kids ....
I was there, you could have heard a pin drop.
An odd piece of bigotry -- she assumed that a conservative republican had to be a racist like her -- odds on yes, but not in this case.

Fuck Off Republican Scum
cestmoi123 belched this gem: 'with the exception that Che and his Communist allies murdered a lot more people than the Nazis'
I'm guessing you're a multiple winner of the Goebbels Prize (keeping a straight face while spewing whoppers),which I thought had been retired by the current occupant.
Even if I give you that 'Che's allies' include all professed commies back to V.I. Lenin, there's no way that Communism was responsible for more deaths than Nazism. Jesus, they murdered over 20 million Russkies, let alone all the Jews they exterminated (in a cold, efficient, Teutonic manner). Nazism was only around for 13 years, Communism for over 70. Christ, what a wanker. I think even Mr. Fleisher would say 'that might be a slime too far, dude'.
You sleazoids can see the end a coming & it scares you (just like a bunch of Lex Luthor wannabees living in caves scares the shit out of you).

CLUINTON is the One Who is All Talk
The whole campaign is based on alledged competence-- well, where's the beef?
If Clinton is so much more "organized" why is her campaign organization losing?
If Clinton is "ready to lead from day one", why can't she seem to lead a campaign (one that should have been a shoe-in) to save her life?
If she is so "tested" why is it that as soon as she goes negative, even Democrats immediately remember the hell their party had to go through in the 90s?
In short, if she is so darn effective, why has she been so utterly, blindingly ineffective?
Maybe one of these candidates is actually running on smoke and mirrors-- and it isn't the one you think.

One more more post. don't want to disrepect glen greenwald
The gop loves to say we are a republic not a democracy. Some disagree, but ok.
What was the biggest penalty in the anceitn republcs, and why?
TREASON AND BRIBERY. A democracy cannot function when treason and bribery of public officails runs rampent. It is not possible. That is were we are at.
so for all the scared old ladies asking what has obama done and are scared of change. Think about that. That is the themes of obama's campaign. The other stuff is icing. We can't do everything in four years. BAby steps. But teh first step is at teh very least pointing out treason and bribery. There were much harser penalties in past republcs. the gop and the sell-out moderates should not complain. At least they are not being hanged. I say jsut point them out. Put it on the table who gets money from who. Then see who gets elected. Put the process out in the open for americans to be a part of it.
Treason and briberey. That is what time it is. If you are selling out your country to lineing your pocket, thi included matthews tucker fox hannity rush, destroying your country you are a traitor. I don;'t care how good your lawyers are. Put our government out in the open, in the hands of the people.
our children and grand kids will be amazed the gop cult got away with what they did and for so long. Why people allowed themselves to be slaves. What will we tell them? What side are you all on? Your own? The democrats? Republicans? America?
side with america. If you do that you cannot go wrong. Side with american values and you cannot go wrong. Or side with clinton and the gop. :) Just kidding. Treason and bribery. Let's call it what it is. We must remove bribery from politics. A big order I know. What are our choices. Do not fear teh fascists. They should fear teh rest of america, and the world. Where else can they get away with this fascism and treason? Send the gop there then. The answer is nowhere. They need to back down and rejoin america. They don't own this country. If they don't believe in american freedoma nd ideals then they are not even americans. Tehy are merely fascists living here.

Poor Obama
The latest dirt... yikes!
In a 9th-grade spelling bee Obama didn't spell Yiddish correctly.
Then he was blasphemed for use of a Yidish proverb in high school.
On the campaign trail he was seen spitting scroll juice out the bus window?
The goo stuck on the MSM's tag-behind TV antenna's caravan of warmongers.

One Tool against the Mainstream Media
One of the primary weaknesses of the Democratic Party it seems to be is its inability or unwillingness to use the powers and tools at its disposal in an aggressive and creative long term plan to effect political change. Republicans found think tanks, roll back legislation on a piecemeal basis, and introduce political arguments into the public discourse that will not pay dividends for decades, as all the while Democrats remain oblivious to what is happening or even help ensure their own destruction.
For example, there is a tendency to think of the Mainstream Media as a monolithic entity that must be changed as a whole. But there are fundamental differences that the Democrats could use to their advantage and to effect change. Radio stations and broadcast TV stations are regulated by the FCC, whose commissioners are appointed by Congress. In theory, this is because they are publicly owned. You or I could not set up are own radio or TV station without a license, and even then there are restrictions (otherwise we could set up one in San Francisco and cover the whole country on that frequency). In theory then, they are supposed to be used for the public good, and their are legitimate restrictions on free speech on these stations. So why can't I see Janet Jackson's boobs or hear the f-word but I can hear Michael Savage's hate speech or Ann Coulter accusing liberals (20-30% of the population) of treason (the only crime specifically mentioned in the Constitution, and punishable by death, pretty serious IMO). Democrats should create new regulations, for example, outlawing death threats or calling for anyone to be put to death unless in the abstract or if a specific person has been convicted of a felony. How long until Michael Savage or Rush breaks that one? And when they do, you fine each and every station that aired (in the hundreds or thousands) a small fine a la Janet Jackson. Pretty soon, they get the message or get off the air. And then where will CNN gets its next Glen Beck or MSNBC its Michael Savage? And don't even get me started on yanking tax exemptions for churches that do political campaigning. Democrats need to be more aggressive and use their powers. But then everyone except them seems to know that already.
