"I have no problem with any of the substantive
criticism of Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism
from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here
that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination... Even if you are not worried that someone
might draw from these vitriolic attacks a license to try to hurt the president, you have to be
worried about what is happening to American politics more broadly." -- Thomas Friedman, .

Maybe Obama needs to give a good speech

I don't want Obama to be put in a position

the country from being torn apart.
Excerpt: The Supreme Court says it will take up a challenge
to Chicago's ban on handguns, opening the way for
a ruling that could set off a vigorous new campaign
to roll back state and local gun controls across the nation.
Victory for gun-rights proponents in the Chicago
case is considered likely, even by supporters of gun control,
in the latest battle in the nation's long and
often bitter dispute over the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
A ruling against the city's outright ban could
lead to legal challenges to less-restrictive laws across the country that
limit
who can own guns, whether firearms must be registered
and how they should be stored.
The case is to be argued early next year.
Last year, the justices struck down a prohibition
on handguns in the District of Columbia, a city with unique federal status,
as a violation of the Second Amendment. Now they
will decide whether that ruling should apply to local and state laws as
well.
This is all the loons need to put guns on the streets- en masse.

Who is a liar?
Stern or the guy who wrote the e-mail?
Stern has a $500M-for-five-years contract.
He got that because satellite radio needed a
superstar who
would make people go out and buy satellite radios
and then subscribe.
He's worth that amount because he draws advertisers
with money.
And before you say, "Same
for the vulgar child-rapist and Beck the Delusional," Stern doesn't make him money by attacking gays,
Hispanics, Blacks and the poor.
...and Stern doesn't have sex with little Dominican
boys
and he hasn't raped and murdered any 11 year
old girls.
"I can't stand listening to whiny Democrats
say, 'we shouldn't even do it because it won't pass anyways.' That's not how the Republicans think.
You know, you've got to admire Republicans. They have the courage of their convictions. They put it right
out there. When they want to do something, they do it. They don't go, 'Oh, I don't know if we should invade
Iraq. People might not like that.' They don't care. They just do it. What is wrong with our side of the
aisle? Where is the spine, where is the courage? 'They might filibuster.' Really? Let them filibuster. I'd like
to see that"

Excerpt: Deadly threats loom from third-world outposts
on the far side of the world. Cartoonish despots like Iran's Ahmadinejad

The requisite chorus of hairy-chested American

This Obama: Is he man or mouse? Never mind that
Iran notified the International Atomic Energy Agency of its newest
nuclear facility, insists (dubiously) that it's
for peaceful purposes and promised to admit inspectors. We've seen this

the WaPoHo's Richard Cohen, "is the real crisis, possibly one that can
only end in war."
For all the hyperventilating, nothing's apt to
happen about the Iranian "threat" except bluster and diplomatic maneuver.
As overextended and bankrupt as the United States
finds itself in Iraq and Afghanistan, hostilities with a third nation
far larger than both would be pure folly. Obama's
smarter than that.

I know, that's why it was shocking to me when
she did whatever she did.
Remember, Rosie did the same thing - she started
screaming "that f-ing scumbag Clinton" while she was praising Der Monkey Bush -
only to admit later she made a terrible mistake.
With all the talk about how Bush protected our
country, why hasn't
someone mentioned that Iran built this nuclear
facility on Bush's watch.

North Korea and Iraq and Iran were fully contained

Then Der Fuhrer started screaming "The
Axis of Evil," so they bulked up in defense.

Excerpt: Conservatives were quick to insist that the near-riot
- the first of many town-hall mobs that would dominate
the headlines in August - was completely spontaneous.
The protesters didn't show up "because of some organized group,"
Rick Scott, the head of Conservatives for Patients'
Rights, told reporters. "They're mad about the stimulus bill, the bailout,
the economy. Now they see that their health care
is about to be taken over by the government."
In fact, Scott's own group had played an integral
role in mobilizing the protesters. According to internal documents obtained
by Rolling Stone, Conservatives for Patients'
Rights had been working closely for weeks as a "coalition partner" with
three
other right-wing groups in a plot to unleash
irate mobs at town-hall meetings just like Doggett's.
Far from representing a spontaneous upwelling
of populist rage, the protests were tightly orchestrated from the top down
by corporate-funded front groups as well as top
lobbyists for the health care industry. Call it the return of the Karl
Rove playbook:
The effort to mobilize the angriest fringe of
the Republican base was guided by a conservative dream team that included
the same
GOP henchmen who Swift-boated John Kerry in 2004,
smeared John McCain in 2000, wrote the script for Republican
obstructionism on global warming, and harpooned
the health care reform effort led by Hillary Clinton in 1993.

The 52 Funniest
Things About The Upcoming Death of The Pope by Matt Taibbi in 2005, just before the last Pope died
Excerpt: 52. Pope pisses himself just before the
end; gets all over nurse.
51. After death, saggy, furry tits of dead
Pope begin melting like Sno-cones under the sun.
50. Pope survives just long enough to be acquired
by Isiah Thomas for Stephon Marbury and cash considerations.
49. After beating for the last time, Pope's
heart sits there like a piece of hamburger.
Item: Matt Taibbi, liberal hero, writes this
hateful crap?
Is this somebody we want on our team?
Sidebar: I could excuse him if he was a victim
of priest rape...
Clarification: *I* was never molested by anyone,
nor was anyone close to me a Catholic victim.
If you sense an abnormal volume of outrage in
my words, it's because I don't f-ing like bullies.
48. Whole world waiting until the last minute
for a sudden improvement of his condition. Pope gives one last groan, spits,
dies.
47. Upon death, Pope's face frozen in sickening
smile, eyes wide open and teeth exposed, like a baboon.
46. Beetles eating Pope's dead brains.
Boy, that Matt Taibbi is one funny son of a bitch!
That's the same kind of "fairness" and "class" he showed Hillary last
year.
I don't think I'll be that cruel and heartless when the vulgar
Pigboy dies.
Mitigating Circumstances: Taibbi suggested that the column was "written
in the waning hours of a Vicodin haze." Link
Really?
I guess you were in a Vicodin haze all thru 2008, too?

Excerpt: The Vatican has lashed out at criticism over
its handling of its paedophilia crisis by saying the Catholic church was
"busy cleaning its own house" and that the problems
with clerical sex abuse in other churches were as big, if not bigger.
In a defiant and provocative statement, the Holy
See said the majority of Catholic clergy who committed such acts
were not pedophiles but homosexuals attracted
to sex with adolescent males.
ha ha
Oh no you did n't! Oh no you did n't!
"It wasn't rape, it was merely an erection
rectal insertion! They weren't really pedophiles - they
just enjoyed raping helpless kids in God's name!"
The statement, read out by Archbishop Silvano
Tomasi, the Vatican's permanent observer to the UN,
claimed that "available research" showed that
as
few as 5% of Catholic clergy raped kids.
So you're not ALL child rapists, just one in twenty of you?
...and when they got caught, YOU paid the victim's parents
hush money and YOU put the raping son of a bitch in a new, unsuspecting parish so he could
rape again.
Every priest who raped in more than one parish got permission to rape
from YOU.
He also quoted statistics that most US churches
with rapists were Protestant
and that sexual abuse within Jewish communities
was common.
ha ha
Can't somebody make them stop?
"Blame the Jews - they're even worse than we are?"
Is that how Jesus would've defended child-rape charges?
This statement is so foot-in-mouth (or is it penis-in-ass) it makes
me think
Frank Keating is still doing PR for the crazy raping Catholics.

the Jews rape even more then we do so go yell
at them for a while."

"Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially

Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and
say, "We can always worry about that later." In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent,

Net Neutrality is a liberal issue, brought about
when Comcast and other companies wanted to control the content
crossing their networks. The Bush administration
thought that would be cool, as it could lead to corporate control
of internet media and the strangulation of independent
bloggers and ranters. Net Neutrality grew in reaction to that.
It's not about the government deciding what goes
across networks, it's about stopping corporate network gatekeepers
from selling access to the highest bidder. Without
it, a company like Comcast could decide it's customers don't need to
read Bartcop, unless of course you were willing
to pay through the nose, and they would make your page load so slowly
readers would leave before it was finished. Meanwhile,

Excerpt: The US government has relaxed its control over
how the internet is run.
It has signed a four-page "affirmation of commitments"
with the net regulator Icann,
giving the body autonomy for the first time.
Previous agreements gave the US close oversight
of Icann - drawing criticism from other countries and groups.
The new agreement comes into effect on 1 October,
exactly 40 years since the first two computers
were connected on the prototype of the net.
"It's a beautifully historic day," Rod Beckstrom,
Icann's head, told BBC News.
The European Commission, which has long been critical
of Icann's alliance with the US government,
welcomed the new deal.
"Internet users worldwide can now anticipate that
Icann's decisions...will be more independent and
more accountable, taking into account everyone's
interests," said Viviane Reding, European Commissioner
for information society and media.

"I could stand up here and talk for hours about

she went on.
"I did what any self-respecting American of integrity
would do. I wrote 'go fuck yourself' and I sent it back. Postage due!"
Then, in classic Midler style, mixing personal
attack with high camp (after all, this is the woman who had a hit with
the album
Mud Will Be Flung Tonight) she moved in
on George W Bush himself, saying she shouldn't criticise him as he was
clearly a
fan of her work. "He came to see me in concert
in the 1970s," she said, pausing for comedy effect. "His coke dealer brought
him."
I would almost bet I'm right - that famous
lefty Midler went pro-Bush, maybe after 9-11.

Dennis Hopper, Rosie, Dennis Miller, etc.

If it's a Clinton, she'll support the cross-dressing
Facist dog running against them.
There's a lot of people like that

I think gay people and people who strongly support
gay rights should remember that Bill Clinton
caught a lot of hell for trying to give gays
more equality and when he got hurt in that battle, a lot of
people (like Rosie) turned their backs on him/them.
When a man gets wounded fighting a war for you - you should cut
him some slack

I hope the Dems bought their loyalty chip at WalMart because it's defective

Excerpt: A federal judge ruled Thursday that the FBI must
publicly reveal much of its interview with Cheney during the Plame investigation.
Both the Bush and Obama administrations said
they wanted to keep the interview confidential because future presidents
and
vice presidents may not cooperate with criminal
investigations if they know what they say could became public.
Since when do they have the right to refuse top
cooperate?
Why should any adminsitration get a free pass when crimes are committed?
But U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled there
was no justification to withhold the entire 67 pages.
Government attorneys told Sullivan in a hearing
this summer that if he ordered the documents released,
they would appeal and seek to withhold the documents
until the matter is resolved.
The Plame leak touched off a lengthy inquiry that
led to Cheney's aide, Scooter Libby, being convicted of obstruction of
justice
and lying to investigators. During his trial,
jurors found that Libby lied to the FBI and a grand jury about his conversations
with reporters.
Libby told the FBI in 2003 that it was possible
that Cheney ordered him to reveal Plame's identity to reporters.
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said at Libby's
trial that there was a "cloud" over Cheney's role in the case.
I don't understand the lack of justice.
When public officials commit crimes and are not held accountable, more
crimes will be broken.
When you give evil men free reign, expect them to go an endless crime
spree - at our expense.
