Uppity snowbilly breeder. What, did they cancel “former beauty queen night” at the doublewide grotto? I mean, why aren’t you off tending to that head of cabbage you refused to abort?
BAD HOCKEY MOM!
From the WaPo’s The Trail:
Speaking before a crowd of a few thousand supporters in an airport hangar, GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin continued to question Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s patriotism and commitment to fair elections.
Palin largely stuck to her stump speech during her appearance here in the conservative-leaning Second District of Maine, whose single electoral vote the McCain campaign is hoping to secure. But she also attacked Obama for his ties to ACORN with new intensity, saying, “In this election, it’s a choice between a candidate who won’t disavow a group committing voter fraud, and a leader who won’t tolerate voter fraud.”
The Alaska governor — who said that, when it comes to the GOP ticket, “We believe that America is not the problem, America is the solution” — said Obama has shown no desire for victory despite the fact that he spoke so frequently about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“It sure would be nice if, just once, Barack Obama said he wants America to win,” she said, as the crowd cheered.
“We are always proud to be Americans, and we don’t apologize for being Americans,” Palin added later.
Palin did make two specific Maine references during her brief visit here. She noted that the Second District has a long tradition of sending women to the House of Representatives — including Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe, who introduced her this morning, and Susan Collins, who didn’t attend the rally — and that local residents share Alaskans’ fashion sense.
“I feel like I’m at home because I see the Carthartts and the steel-toed boots,” she said, with evident pleasure.
Christ. Can she get any more tacky?
Listen: we’re all for “ordinary folk” in government. I mean, did you not see Dave? The problem, then, is not ordinary folk per se, despite all the sturm and drang from wingnut morons who call we Palin bashers “elitists.” Instead, the problem is ordinary folk who don’t do as they are instructed.
There’s a difference between the two. It’s called nuance, you ridiculous champions of outpost trash and frontier chic. Have you wretched, peat-smelling Jacksonian Woolrich connieusseurs no class…?
Ggah.

Damned with faint praise, I see. You know those media funsters.

Jeralyn linked to this al-Jazeera heartache. Nothing like the pro-McCain march in NYC, though, or that nut that threatened Malkin at the convention. Nah. Despite all of Zombie’s work, there are no liberal yahoos, are there?
Dave was cool because he loved him some socialism. If he had cut him some taxes… well, that movie wouldn’t have been made.
I guess her college didn’t have Basic elitism, advanced American Patriot hatred and Joe Six-Pack loathing as part of their journalism cirriculum…No wonder she’s such a trailer-trash rube!
Didn’t she see that part of the constitutional requirements for office that stipulates an Ivy-League education…?
“Kill Him!!1!”

FORK SALUTE! |||
Dogwhistle, yo.
Palin’s harkening to home — as it summons an idealized past, “home” cannot be innocently invoked by the party of white social atavism — is an occulted trumpet to cultural war, synechdochically to specific vengeance for inner-city blacks’ appropriation of the white working man’s pants of necessity as their pants of choice — a call deployed, with sinister irony, in an appropriated hip-hop form: the brand-name shout-out.
Her allusion is to Ice Cube’s multivalently threatening (to white ears):
Starched Ben Davis /
Shootin’ at ya neighbors
The reaction she seeks to provoke in her lumpen mob is a country-wide “Zoot Suit Riot” against blacks who join in the brave display of rejection of dominant white culture that is support for Barack Obama.
BAM!
(If I could do this unironically, I’d be set. Dammit.)
L’il Sarah Palin

No, that would be, “Kill it!” It, not him, to the moonbats.

Well I’ll just have to look it up, is what.
No need to worry. Barack will make the drains run on time. If not all the time.

Seven, I could only go 10 seconds into that video.
Did you watch the whole thing?
*full-body shudder*
(Imagine me jumping up and down in fury) So KOS published the info of that Joe-the-Plumber guy, including his Social Security number! That’ll teach Joe–and the rest of us–to open our mouths and ask a QUESTION from a political candidate!
Jeff G., you keep flapping that mouth of yours and the O! non-black helicopters will be coming for you!
hey it ate my comment all up and that sucks cause I did research
Joe the Plumber is the new ‘it boy’. Suddenly it’s hip to be blue collar, packing, and able to think.
He snakes toilets and she guts moose. Huh. Not too precious to get their hands dirty.
Research, besmirch. Seriously, city-hicks disturb me. Big city media types just don’t get how parochial they are.
WTF is it with these people and releasing social security numbers? Identity theft for dear leader. Fucking fuckers.
I’m just going to have to tell you all, that happyfeet is the smartest fucker who has ever lived.
Mad props on the hypercorrection here:
I usually have to turn into sports talk radio to catch some ex-jock trying to sound edjumacated with something like “the coach said the suspension was between he and the player”.
Well played, Sir!
They just showed Obama on tv knocking Joe the plumber–saying that “McCain is now claiming he’s fighting for plumbers.” Everyone in the audience laughed. Joe is now a joke. He dared to question The One. “How many plumbers do you know that make a quarter of a million dollars a year?” Obama smirked. Now Joe has to pay for wanting to purchase a company worth $250,000 and be more successful. Damn him!
Plumbers should know their place.
Nay plumbers WILL know their place.
This sort of smacks of the movie Brazil. In the near future “Joe the plumber” will have to fix your toilet in secret or be “re-educated in a faith based initiative”.
O! ’08 Plumbing the plumbers. For teh children.
Christ was a toiler, Pontius Pilate was a plumber. Or something.
“How many plumbers do you know that make a quarter of a million dollars a year?†Obama smirked.
He SAID that? Because, you know, certainly stupid plumbers aren’t able to make that kind of money, right? You gotta go to college to pull in three-figures plus. Or, be an “artist.” Certainly no working-class, hick can make that kind of future for himself.
THAT is why Barack is gonna go after Joe. Joe is a Capitalist success story. It tells young people they can work hard and achieve their dreams.
Oh, I hate these people.
Yeah, I did! It was like a car wreck. I couldn’t look away. I really don’t know what that says about me, but maybe I can make everything right by saying, FUCK YOU, THOR!!!Eleventyone!!1!1!
You know what?
ACORN is a festering swamp that needs to be drained.
First I want to see Barney Frank go to jail.
Joe the “Plumber” Get it? Nixon? Plumbers? Bush will CANCEL THE ELECTION!11one11111 Where the hell’s Rosie O’Donnell when we need her!
Yep. Granted, Joe wants to become a plumbing contractor, not a plumber, but still…he wants to own his own business. Remember when that was an admirable thing?
One thing that really surprised me was a few of my pals reaction to Sarah Palin. It was to them as if she was some sort of succubi that was going to suck all the science right out of western civ. When I questioned them why Barack being a church going man and offering a “faith based initiative”, all of them said, “no he isn’t!” So I sent them proof, and they were all, “wow, hey that’s a pretty good idea!” And then I asked why it was a bad idea when GW promoted a virtually similar idea and they all said, “because Bushes went only to fundies!” When I correct them on that they say, “so what.”
So basically what we have these days is relatively smart people willing to vote for someone that probably hates them and their way of life because they perceive him to be “cool”.
I say fuck it, let them have all the coolness they can take.
“Where the hell’s Rosie O’Donnell when we need her!”
Off knitting a merkin, the last I heard.
>>I say fuck it, let them have all the coolness they can take.
Maybe they can make those boondoggle thingers in re-education camp
Plus, you know, we can sell those Fair Trade re-education camp crafts on the markets! Win-Win
Yep. Granted, Joe wants to become a plumbing contractor, not a plumber, but still…he wants to own his own business.
Well, that’s how it works. You start out a worker bee, and you work your way up. It’s a beautiful thing. You can be a plumber one day, and another own a business.
Gah. I see Obama saying it right now. Ass.
Honestly, a company making just over $250,000 isn’t rich. It isn’t fat cat. Ugh. Mort Kondrake.

I shudder to think what the landscape will look like when the fad has run its course. I have images of O! posters in the discount bin at K-Mart.
Because it has electrolytes.
I don’t think it says anything about you Seven, I just get creeped out easier.
And, don’t forget, what we have is a party that thinks honest-to-Marx socialism is mainstream. And another party that dismisses that fact as paranoid.

If this guy has two helpers at union wages ,and provides a couple of trucks, and inventory of parts, Yeah, that 250 large gets eaten up pretty fast. You hope the housecalls pay your mortgage and the employees wages, but what you hustle for are the commercial and industrial jobs. Get enough of those every year and you can start to sock away a little money.
Fucking people have no idea how stuff gets done, or where stuff comes from.
“Fucking people have no idea how stuff gets done, or where stuff comes from.”
When I have those kind of thoughts I always expect Ayn Rand to jump from out of the bushes, cackling.
<“THAT is why Barack is gonna go after Joe. Joe is a Capitalist success story. It tells young people they can work hard and achieve their dreams.”
– Individual initiative has to be absolutely squashed like a bug in the collective. Individuals who think for themselves are dangerous to the cult.
– An under achiever who sucks on the gov. teat, and doesn’t think about anything important is exactly what the revolution needs and wants.
– Anything else is heresy.
[…] “Palin Rips Obama Over ACORN in Maine†[…]
Carin, I’m college educated (engineering) and am alos an artist and I don’t make six figures.
OT – one of the better jobs to have is a high school shop teacher. No kidding. You have a job and benefits teaching your skills, and then nights and weekends and vacations you can put those skills to work earning some on the side.
An American citizen should be able to ask Obama
a question, without being crucified by the Obama campaign.
Obama is ahead in the polls, but are the polls
a realistic reflection of what will actually happen
in the voting booth? Obama is outspending McCain
3 to one … He has 90% of the media in his pocket
… he has 98% of the black vote … he has voter fraud
on his side, with groups like Acorn … and yet the
election is still close. So far, all the conclusions by all the
pundits are totally based upon POLLS. Not a single actual vote
has been cast yet. Obama supporters gush at how
well their man has done in the debates, which proves
once again that Obama is a good debater and a good
speaker. It doesn’t say anything about his character,
judgement, or what kind of a leader he would be.
I still would rather trust a man who would not sell out
his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture,
than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship,
for personal ambition. And … regarding this election,
until people actually vote … it ain’t over till it’s over
