Mo’ better victimage:
On the other hand, if you’re running for president not as an unexceptional first-term senator with a thin resume but as the new Messiah, the new Kennedy, the new Gandhi, the new Martin Luther King, you can’t blame folks for leaping ahead to the next stage in the mythic narrative. Around the world, a second instant sub-genre has sprung up in which commentators speculate how long it will be before some deranged Christian-fundamentalist neo-Nazi gun-nut deprives America of its fleeting wisp of glory. Setting a new standard for fevered slavering Obama-assassination porn, Earl MacRae warned Canadians in the Ottawa Sun this week:ÂÂ
To be black and catapulting towards the presidency on charm, intellect, and popularity is unacceptable to the racist paranoid and scary in America the beautiful… They do not want to hear that he is a better American than they are, these right-wing extremist fascists in the land of America who no doubt believe it’s God’s will Barack Obama not get to the White House, no method of deterrence out of bounds, in their zealotry to protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Mom’s apple pie, and the cross of Jesus in every home.    ÂÂAnd you can’t protect and perpetuate Roy Rogers without a Trigger. By this point, Mr. MacRae wasn’t so much warming to his theme as typing up his first draft for Miramax: “Barack Obama is waving his arms. The crowd is cheering. I see the image I don’t want to see. I see the image that is the terrible sickness in the great republic. I see Barack Obama one minute smiling, the people crying his name. I see Barack Obama grab his chest and his eyes widen and his mouth opens and the crowd screams as Barack Obama, black candidate for the presidency of the United States of America, falls to the ground dead, an assassin’s bullet inside him.â€ÂEr, okay. But would it help if I made you a nice cup of chamomile tea and you lie down in a darkened room for half an hour? Right now Obama’s more at risk of being taken out by traces of polonium-210 left in his hotel by a Clinton operative than by Roy Rogers saddling up for Jesus.ÂÂ
Related: Larry “The Legend” Johnson sees his chances for a sinecure with the Clinton Administration evaporating, mongers fear, gives me permission to “pop a chubby,” which sounds a little Clintonesque.
Meanwhile, another Larry attacks Obama for the grotesque crime of accepting oral sex from him. It’s a small sample, but it suggests that Obama may be losing the Larry vote.
Rough translation: “This is not necessarily a phallus.”

That sure would cause a ruckus though.
Comment by Swen Swenson on 2/16 @ 8:43 pm #
Actually, sounds like the Clintons would have a bit of trouble coming up with the polonium-210. Lead poisoning is still an option though..
Comment by Dan Collins on 2/16 @ 8:46 pm #
What’s funny is that Johnson doesn’t seem to understand that the Clintons are ethically challenged in all the ways he points out Obama being.
Comment by cynn on 2/16 @ 9:10 pm #
Obama’s not a true black. He’s a hybrid The way I was raised, only actual darkies are fearsome. Unreconstructed, tribal types … what was this post about again? Oh, yeah, Steyn and Lessing. Say no more.
Comment by happyfeet on 2/16 @ 9:15 pm #
I dunno.
So that adds up. But damn that would have had to have been really really good crack. It’s also possible that this Larry person is not telling the truth. I hope Obama clears this up soon so he can get back to talking about the issues.
Comment by Larry Johnson on 2/16 @ 9:22 pm #
Dude,
Sorry to ruin your fantasy, but I’m not seeking nor will I accept any position in any Admnistration, Democrat or Republican. If offered the slot of Ambassador to the UK, France, Italy, or Spain, I’d do it. But, I don’t raise funds for any candidate, and I’m too radioactive politically to even be seriously considered. But, if the thought of me working towards such a goal helps you pop a chubby, then fantasize away.
Comment by happyfeet on 2/16 @ 9:26 pm #
That shows a certain self-awareness really.

Well they’ve taken away your number, and a-given you a name.
Comment by RTO Trainer on 2/16 @ 9:36 pm #
Larry who?
How can he be “politically radioactive” if he’s completely inconsequential?
That he obviously does regular vanity searches emphasizes the point. Or do we beleive that he’s a persistent lurker at PW?
BECAUSE OF THE NARCISSISM!!!!
Comment by Dan Collins on 2/16 @ 9:38 pm #
No, he followed the trackback, RTO. At least he doesn’t have staff conducting the searches for him, the way Olberdouche does.

cynn,
LGF = Charles Johnson.
Larry is best known for his July 2001 NYT op-ed about how everyone was exaggerating the threat of Islamic terrorism. I’m fairly sure he has stuck to that position, too.

Howard was a lot about ice cream. He got frozen in the end I think maybe. By his secretary.

This Larry Johnson.

Exactly.

The only heavy breathing over assassinating a president in recent years has come from proggs, in this guise.
Comment by MayBee on 2/16 @ 10:43 pm #
You may be on to something.
Obama has apparently also lost the Larry Sabato vote as well.
Which I think is a sign of deep macaca.
Comment by daleyrocks on 2/16 @ 10:45 pm #
A man’s gotta eat. There’s not much money left in shilling for Valerie Plame right now so Larry had to fabricate a new gig. I wonder how much he’s getting paid by Clinton for the smears. He’s got his work cut out for him because most of them are getting debunked as quickly as he puts them up ’cause they’re so so flimsy.
Comment by Topsecretk9 on 2/16 @ 10:49 pm #
I couldn’t get over Larry accusing Obama of supporting a terrorist and Obama’s “terrorist’s ties” when Larry thinks there is no terror threat. It’s a conundrum.

I seem to recall something about Bill pardoning Puerto Rican terrorists. Maybe I dreamt it.

HUH
But, I don’t raise funds for any candidate, and I’m too radioactive politically to even be seriously considered.
Freudian slip?
First of all, he does raise funds because he has a “contribute to the Clinton” campaign button link on his website, but that’s pretty candid of Scary – he admits in order to be seriously considered for a position or posting in a Clinton administration one has to but their way in.
Cool.
Comment by MayBee on 2/16 @ 11:07 pm #
and I’m too radioactive
Tops- isn’t he working for some uranium mining company now, with Joe Wilson? Or am I wrong about what they mine?
Comment by Education Guy on 2/16 @ 11:07 pm #
To be fair, the history of Canada’s black premiers is so long and full that you have to go back generations to where there was an assassination attempt. Europe too.
It’s because they are so much better than us, what with the outlawing of the evil right wingers moving along at good speed.
Comment by Education Guy on 2/16 @ 11:11 pm #
Bill may offer Larry a position, if Larry is willing to wear some lipstick and a dress. But only because once Hillary gets elected she is going to ensure that Billy Jeff’s junk has its own security detail, so he’s going to have to get creative.

He says he will not go on MSNBC because of Shuster and Matthew’s – he’ll only go on Olby if asked.

You bet. If one googles “jarch” and Scary’s name it’s like the first link. He handles their “security”
Comment by daleyrocks on 2/16 @ 11:29 pm #
TSK9 – Amazing. All of a sudden Larry is claiming he has scruples and won’t go on MSNBC because they insulted Hillary. You would think he would want to go on and set the record straight. My guess is that he is just not getting invited on the air because there is nothing for him to talk about anymore and people realize he is a buffoon.

Most likely.

Their are so many troubling ironies — read Nick Kristof’s blog and then thing that Phill Heilberg -Jarch sold off part and moved the operation to the Virgin Islands.
http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/25/evading-sudan-sanctions/
Also, this is after Heilberg a fews years ago threatened to sue the Sudan for 10 billion because his deal wasn’t going through. Sudan- 10 billion- nothing says champion of the downtrodden then a 10 billion dollar Heilberg of a war torn genocidal third world country!

From Johnson’s blog:
(Rezko) is up against Patrick Fitzgerald. Pat Fitzgerald does not go to court unprepared and does not have a record of losing, particularly in Illinois. Remember, this is the guy who nailed Scooter Libby…
lol.

[one of the demented reasons given for fearing him: That Barack Obama is the new "Manchurian Candidate," that Barack Obama -- as captured Korean War U.S soldier Lawrence Harvey in the 1962 movie was brainwashed by the communists and programmed in his subconscious through a playing card to assassinate a right-wing presidential nominee -- is a plant by America's Islamic enemies to destroy the nation from within.
Writers who can't. I welcome our new UGOs!
John McCain, who has rejected Secret Service protection… John McCain, fool.
Basil’s lost me here. Is he saying Obama’s out to cap McCain?
