Except if you trace the story back, the source is the Daily Currant, which describes itself as “The Global Satirical Newspaper of Record.”
But hey. The cartoon we’ve drawn of Akin in our heads is what made the story plausible in the first place, so Akin only has himself to blame for our having immediately thought that the cartoon in our heads exactly reinforced the cartoon in our heads.
Most important election evah!
Fake but Accurate. QED. Staunch.
“Lesbians can be cured by drinking something else,” Akin replied “I’ll leave that one to your imagination.”
See Cranky I told you ZZ Top was a conservative group.
What could be more conservative then Women wanting pearl necklaces;)
I lose and gain Twitter followers by the score, depending on whom I’m attacking on any given day. It’s kind of fascinating, really.
They want to believe in the cartoons in their heads so much that they’ll believe the cartoons outside their heads.
They consider themselves to be the intelligent ones. Reality-based community.
Some of these stories need to be covered…or not.
Did you say something?
Funny, funny, funny.
Wow. That’s the first time I’ve seen a topless protester that didn’t make me want to protest topless protesting.
Apparently most leftists and sadly some conservatives do not know what satirical means. I blame our failed education system!
“I lose and gain Twitter followers by the score, depending on whom I’m attacking on any given day. It’s kind of fascinating, really.”
Monetizing the troll factor. It’s like Hitchens writing on Mother Theresa. Only in 240 characters or less. With hash-tags. Unless the fail whale comes.
I am guessing the redhead is a pro.
I would be willing to annoint her with scented oil and dry her with my hair. If she’s into that. Or I could buy her a big breakfast at Waffle House.
I spelled anoint wrong. RAAACCIISSSSST! I denounce myself.
– Here’s the Fox affiliate in Tampa covering the convention/protesters.
– Apparently the ‘black bloc’ group is headed for the convention center.
EBL’s post took my blood pressure down a few points.
– Wrong….try this one.
I bet it was AKIN that killed that steel workers wife! Yeah, it all make sense now! I can see the fifth light! Hi rat! Smooch! Is this a new face cage? It seems WAY more comfortable than the old one you had yesterday! Say is a that boot to stamp on my face? Goodie! What a pal you are O’Brien! I love me some Big Brother. No, not the show. Where’s my gin?
“EBL’s post took my blood pressure down a few points.”
Well, in my skull anyway.
Friggin auto-play videos…
Boy, it sure is a good thing we’ve got Akin to kick around. Otherwise we might have to start considering the divide that Team Romney and Professional Republicans in Good Standing opened up at the convention, and to try to understand what it all means.
Anyway, I thought too much breastmilk was what caused the gay in the first place.
So, hom(e)opathic cure?
– Best line in the video – Fluke – moan of arc.
“[Akin] was saying what the platform is [ERGO -JHo] that’s what many believe. […Romney] had to go ALL THE WAY RIGHT…”
You have to very finely tune the milk, Ernst. It’s like watching Streisand movies. Too little makes you gay. Too much makes you gouge your eyes out.
Does this explain Barack Obama and Reggie Love?
Who linked the pubic [STET!] nudity fetish sight?
I was told that this was a high class blog for serious discussion about important issues and big things!
Ah Ersnt! Let it stand indeed! Oh how proudly it stands!
Yeah, I’m making me sick too. But it’s dumb jokes or despair for me right now. I’m kind of mega-rapidly bipolar with a cycle period of 1/2 Hz right now.
– Lies Ernst, all lies from the godbothering birthers!
I’m already out of “I just saw boobs on a blog” erection jokes. Sad.

Just ignore the fact that he’s the father of Obamacare and he’s still proud of Massachusetts’ socialized medicine which was partly financed by money from the pockets of the other 49 states.
Auto-play videos suck.
Apparently most leftists and sadly some conservatives do not know what satirical means.
They know.
But they’re not going to let that knowledge interfere with a marvelous chance to spread outrageous outrage all over the place before the truth gets its boots on.
politifact says this is “mostly true”
“….Because we simply can’t let the race card die, it’s our only advantage.”
– So the new troupe is that any time a black American experiences an emotion it has to be due to racism. The press has said so, so shut up and eat your Jim crow hobbit.

Check this out at Red State… an argument awfully familiar to PW readers. Consequently this will be ignored by our GOP superiors.
Allowing the political opposition to define what is meant by “fair”, “compassionate”, “rich”, and especially the pejoratives such as “racist”; will predictably leave you on the wrong side of every one of these terms. Defining these terms defines what people are allowed to actually say. Limiting what Mitt Romney is allowed to say, limits what he can say to win over undecided voters.
As Brett Stevens puts it:
The best way to win an argument is to poison your opposition with assumptions.
Content providers that only offer autoplay=true embed code will be the first against the wall after Pinky and I take over the world.
Please include content providers who force slide-up ads on webpages, the kind pop-up blockers cannot stop.
I haven’t found a way to defeat that infernal auto-play. There’s no =true function in the code.
Joe Biden just leaned over to Barry and said, “This is a big fucking deal.”
If you cannot defeat it, can you link it instead and get it out of the comments?
They know.
But they’re not going to let that knowledge interfere with a marvelous chance to spread outrageous outrage all over the place before the truth gets its boots on.
The ones pushing may know, but the consumers? I’m not so sure. I mean, 4 out of 5 of them honestly can’t tell the difference between Sarah Palin and Tina Fey, fer crine aht lahd.
….In other news: NASA is preparing to broadcast the first musical interlude from the Mars rover curiosity todat. The piece was specically written for the occasion by rapper i.am.mo’fo. and is named “Reach for the stars”.

Just imagine an army of Owwie anarchists, after they’ve been trained by the Paulbots and armed with quality SquidCo(r) brand torches and pitchforks. What city is going to invite the conventions with that in the offing?

– Recessed til 7:15 pm est.
After today I wouldn’t be surprised if the mystery speaker is Tina Fey hired to portray Sarah Palin endorsing Mitt.
Like the “peace talk delegations” in Varley’s “Demon”.
– Me, I’m leaning toward Clint. What a poke in the eye for Commiewood that would be!
Would that be because she loves the camera, or because the camera loves her back?
Lots of them were actually duped. They should have known…especially Iowahawk.
Obama cares. He says so, after all.
Waitasec, I thought only unhelpful moral scolds and christers cared about abortion. What about the economy?
We the people no longer have a say in the internal process of the party that supposedly represents us. But that’s no big deal. That’s “in the weeds” stuff. What IS a big deal is winning the election. The most important ever!
Just not a big enough deal to put any money into the MO race, even if it’s tied. Or stomach conservatives, who you depend on for votes.
As I mentioned elsewhere, the GOP establishment and Romney doubled down on “what are you Hobbits going to do, vote for Obama?” And they had Boehner hammer the gavel as the last best insult.
Following this election, it’s 3rd party time.
In old Soviet Union chicken would keep $#$%ing you!
And here I was hoping it was R. Lee Ermey in a full 30-minute exhibition of invective.
We the people no longer have a say in the internal process of the party that supposedly represents us
I’m not so sure that we ever did. It’s just more obvious now.
“We the people” -> we the uniform sub individual material and social clients of the state, which is chosen and designed exclusively to accommodate the interests of the ruling class and sometimes magnanimously arbitrated, in a limited fashion, if deemed necessary, by the themes of the designated grievance portfolio attached to our assigned minority group membership status , in order to contribute maximally to the progress of history towards utopia, as defined by the momentary fads and interests that shall, or might, captivate the ruling class, do hereby passively acknowledge the justice and necessity of our utter submission to any and all demands issued by those who in their wisdom and expertise have written this ludicrous authoritarian suicide pact that dooms us all. Forever and Ever so help me Gaia.
patient: “….So I keep having this dream where I’m in front of the convention and they’re waiting for me to tell them my positions on things, and I can’t decide what to say because I really don’t want to offend anyone and the whole thing just makes me sick….”
R. Lee Ermey : “…yeh well I guess, but you know what makes me sick? YOU DO YOU PUSSYFIED JACKWAGGIT….Why don’t we just mosey over to whimpy land and see if we can find your missing SELF ESTEEM….”
patient: *whimpers*
R. Lee Ermey : (picks up a tissue box and tosses it at the patient) “Here yah go….. cry baby….”
The more likely scenario is that they simply decide to vote “No”.
By not voting at all.
Why wait? And spare me that most important election ever crap.
In the first place, Obama’s a nice guy, he’s just incompetent. What does that make Millard? A competent nice guy who’ll manage the bureaucratic social-welfare state competently? McGeehee already addressed that.
In the second place, to borrow from Glenn Reynolds, I’ll start believing it’s the most important election ever when the politicians acting like it. So far it seems like the most important thing about this election is using our fear of a second term for Obama to get us to acquiesce to our own political neutering.
In the third place, if the country can’t survive four more years of Obama, then it’s already lost and 8 years of Romney/Ryan and 8 more of Ryan/Rubio (or whomever) won’t be enough to save it. And especially not if we intend to supplant the Republican party with a genuine classical liberal/conservative party. What are we going to do, undermine Romney Boehner and Mitchell and risk turning Congress over to Pelosi and Reid again? Make Romney a one termer? To quote Doc Holliday “My mother always told me never put off killing ’til tomorrow people you can kill today.”
Finally, I am not a Hobbit. I am an Ent. I am not anybody’s side because nobody’s on mine. (Thanks to whomever it was who came up with that yesterday.)
I will not vote for Mitt Romney. I am disinclined to vote for any other Republican.
Tea Party Republicans tread carefully.
Oh great, Kasich is giving a ‘Steve Balmer on crack’ type speech right now. Just what we need.
Why wait?
Why bother? I’ve only voted third party once and that was the very first time I voted. For John Anderson.
I’m sure you all remember President Anderson?
I have a friend (way left, basically a communist) who goes every election picks up a ballot, then turns it in blank. He wants them to know he purposefully didn’t vote for anybody.
Funny dude.
OT: This movie premise is good for a laugh.
No, but I remember President Perot. He got under the hood and fixed it.
I’m not talking about winning an election, I’m talking about winning a choice,
by not voting for the party of big government.
” He wants them to know he purposefully didn’t vote for anybody.”
Them (local vote counters): This one’s blank.
Friend of Them (also local vote counters): Are you sure? They didn’t mark anything in any of the races?
Them: Yep.
Friend of Them : Okay, put it over there! (indicates small pile of blank ballots).
And the trombone goes WAAAAA-waaaaaa-waaaaa–waaaaaaaaaaaaah.
I wonder if it would be fun to blame the Koch brothers for this. I hear that blaming stuff on them can be fun.
picks up a ballot, then turns it in blank. He wants them to know he purposefully didn’t vote for anybody
That’s pretty funny, B Moe.
I once mailed back a Neilson rating book that was blank. It was postage paid so what the hey.
“Finally, I am not a Hobbit. I am an Ent.”
I think we are Rohirim watching the kingdom go to hell under Grima Wormtongue and wondering why the Dunendling are testing out borders, and why orks have been spotted in Isengard. Oh well. Saruman theWhite ,long entrusted with the stewardship of the tower of Orthanc, will surely take care of it. Or is he ‘Saruman of many colors’ now eyes red from gazing into his Palintir? But we need all the allies we can get for the threat in the east is rising again and it is said Sauron sits once more in Barad Dur.
Sauron is a nice guy, he’s just incompetent.
That why we have to vote for Saruman.
The Fate of Middle Earth depends on it!
– Fuck middle earth. I have a high enough electric bill as it is.
– And while you’re at it, con’t give the Ghia-freaks anymore good idea’s. Before you know it they’ll ‘discover’ man-made earth quakes and shit, and we’ll all have to live dangling from balloon fences.
“Sauron is a nice guy, he’s just incompetent.”
He’s a Maia you know. Just like Orome. The Numenorians did business with him back in the day. Illuvatar doesn’t make bad things. It’ll work out I’m sure.
– Ok, back to Cspan to watch the Clown cae circus.
“they’ll ‘discover’ man-made earth quakes and shit,”
You mean fracking? They discovered AEQ almost four years ago. The water from the faucet burned! OMG!

– Joy Behar and Chrissy Mathews just threw up.
if the country can’t survive four more years of Obama, then it’s already lost
The really depressing thing about this Romney or else mantra is that what it’s adherents are really saying is that they don’t have any interest in doing the hard things (ie states telling Fedzilla to go fuck itself) necessary to keep this country, or parts of it, from hard tyranny.
Joy Behar and Chrissy Mathews just threw up.
Heh. I don’t watch The View, but I can see the old bitch spitting nails.
They won’t.
They never do, Mike.
– Fake but accurate wouldn’t do justice to the way HuffPoop skews its ledes to give a certin impression.
– If you took this lede at face value you’d completely miss the real point of the book.
– The Seals were not guilty of shooting an unarmed man, as the title tries to imply. The true point of the story was the Seals think Obama is a narrcissistic joke.
– Why the subtefuge and Lefturd spin? Its a poser alright.
BBH,
Par for the course. The comments from the Paint Huffers are also every bit as inane as I expected.
– An interesting take away from the comments of the Seals, aside from their obvious distain for Jug ears, is the possibility that the Al Qaeda higher ups had decided to make sure Bin Laden was snuffed and not available to be captured and spill his guts.
That might also serve the purpose of maybe getting the drones thing to slow down a bit and take some of the pressure off. It looks like they threw him under the bus. Maybe he was broke and no longer of use, and they were tired of supporting and protecting him and getting hit.
– Which of course would also mean Waffle head didn’t actually ‘get Bin Laden’, he got Bin Ladens corpse handed to him, which means his one act of proper decision making in office was also a farce.
– Batting 1000% for incompetence.
I guess I’ll go off topic here, since it’s the top thread.
Matt Lewis had an interesting take on the two-minutes of Akin hate last Friday:
Yeah. It’s powerful to have some “justification” to treat people who aren’t racist as if they are racists and violent dangerous ones at that. Similarly there is a certain market for being granted the power to identify and punish things are “like” rape.
Political correctness is a club not a shield. It is not designed to protect anybody. It is designed to be used as a weapon.
that’s so deep I’m 100% sure that’s the context Akin was speaking in
hey didn’t we have like a whole bag of chips ahoy somewheres
– My take on Akins bummbling comments are that they stem from the wide spread sispicion by many on the right that a fair percentage of so-called ‘date rapes’ are just Lefty chics looking to dump the resposibility of an uneanted little bastard. Thay reinforce that view by some of the lame brain reasoning they try to use for the ‘pro-choice’ bs they spew.
– Don’t know if thats true, but there is a lot of reason to think it is. He was just dumb enough to try to argue any issue on thier terms without solid proof to back him up. When you’re dealing with the Left having proof is usually seldom productine, not having it is the kiss of propagandic death.
– The best you can say about him is he’s not the sharpest political rock in the box. The best you can say about the GOP establishment is they were had.
that’s so shallow I’m 100% sure I don’t give a damn what a faithless poofter like yourself thinks
– Maybe the Akins bomb will serve as an abject lesson to all the Conservative candidates, and the establishment in general, so it won’t be a total loss.
It’s a terrible prejudice, I own, but I’ve never been able to read that Matt Lewis fella just on account of he looks too close to Howdy Doody to me. Now seeing he seems to be interested in finding some semi-serious significance in legitimate rape clinches it. I won’t be reading him. Too little time left.
Or maybe he was just anticipating B. Moe’s argument that if the only way you can get an abortion is to claim rape there’s going to be an increase in the number of rapes reported. And trying to preempt it. Who knows?
And I still believe he forgot he was speaking to a general audience, and instead spoke in pro-life abortion-policy shorthand as if he were speaking to a prolife audience (who would follow his shorthand).
Pro-lifers are divided on when, if ever, abortion should be allowed, but they’ll hear you out. Pro-abortion democrats looking to score political points won’t. Probably something he forgot since it’s something he may not have encountered in his previous runs for officce. Rookie mistake? Sure. Insurmountable fatal error? I don’t believe so.
(And I really didn’t intend to start the next iteration of the debate, I just thought Lewis’s if Akin’s language was vague and confusing, it’s because the left promotes confusion with vague concepts argument would find a receptive audience around here.)
Okay then. Guess I was wrong to think Lewis had a take others would find interesting.
– Ernst, its not like we’ve ever run away from discussing any topic that was, well, topical.
– Actually I suspect one reason it keeps coming up is it seems to highlight a weakness on the right in tactical dealing with the Lefts more self serving memes, and thats troubling enough since no one wants to see it repeated, especially when you know that the Left is needing to deflect as much as they can from Obama’s disasterous record.
– This sort of nonsense gives them cover.
No need for an argument as it has already happened many years ago in the great State of Colorado.
– Doesn’t matter Geoffb. The problem is if a woman says she’s been raped, if there’s no clean proof shes lying you’re stuck. So statistics don’t mean squat if its based on simple suspician, and suspician doesn’t hold forth in our legal system.
“Or maybe he was just anticipating B. Moe’s argument that if the only way you can get an abortion is to claim rape there’s going to be an increase in the number of rapes reported”
Roe Vs. Wade was based on such a case. (It turned out!)
I sometimes wonder if 1 out of every 5 or 6 abortion activists are there to make me think about it because they won’t.
It’s a thing.
I guess I’m not following you bbh, because the way I’m understanding you, you seem to be saying that the way to not give the left cover is to not say things that the left can turn to their advantage and give themselves cover. Except that, if Jeff has demonstrated anything on this blog, lo these many years, it’s that anything you say can be taken by the left and turned to their advantage in order to give themselves cover.
Just look at Darleen’s post about Chris Haye’s keen ability for sniffing out conservative racism: A video about welfare which is full of white people is really a video about black people because only racist conservatives would feel the need to use white people to play black peole in a video about welfare people —QED
That it’s complete bullshit is irrelevant, so long as there are enough people who agree with it that Highly Paid Professional Republican Consultants continue to advise their clients to not talk about welfare reform because HPPRC polling shows that voters think Republicans who talk about welfare reform are racist.
It seems to me the way to counter it is to refuse to be cowed by it. Call them on what they’re doing and throw it back at them. Sock the queers in the goddamned face until they stay plastered, so to speak.
– This is too close of a race Ernst to get distracted with bullshit. Its not about right and wromg, its about there’s a place and time.
– As far as the Left and getting any satisfaction engaging them, I’m pretty sure I said it was seldom fruitful, which doesn’t say you don’t engage them fiercly, you just use your head and do it when you’re not involved in something much bigger for the moment.
– The fact that several people seem to have a hard time grasping that idea probably just emphasizes even more why its a problem in the first place. But, what do I know.
What makes me wary of this scenario Geoff is that in today’s climate the “rapists” are going to be prosecuted, and lives are going to be ruined.
It will be bank for the lawyers, of course.
You are likely correct B. Moe. I just put it up to show that people would make the claim if the law was that way.
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/315241/statesman-robert-costa?pg=2
Maybe the Republican plan is to become such losers the Democrats start subsidizing them.
I can’t figure it.
Somebody needs to draw up a preconjugal agreement to go along with the prenup
Moral vanity?
This is too close of a race Ernst to get distracted with bullshit.
The debasement of the English language, and its perversion into a tool of power-hungry statists intent on silencing any criticism before it can even be uttered, is now bullshit? No wonder Jeff wants to walk away!
Never mind that “the race” isn’t a race at all, but rather a forced-choice decision over whether we go over the cliff at 90 miles an hour or just 60. Never mind that the only way to save the Republic is to elect governors, legislators, and representatives who will reassert the natural authority of the states and communities they come from. Never mind that the only way to accomplish that is to fight back against every local newspaper editor and broadcaster who would play games with our language in the service of a status quo that is quickly reaching the tipping point.
No, no. Why bother fighting back against the cynical redefinition of common words, when there’s a meaningless Washington circle-jerk to pretend to care about?
I can’t find a link, but on the way into work my husband heard a story on NPR about infant mortality and racism.
Apparently, stress causes problems with a pregnancy, specifically (in the case of the piece) the stress of racism. The horrible, horrible racism that black women endure causes them stress, which leads to poorer outcomes in live births.
I wonder what the stress of being raped may do for conception, implantation, and early weeks of pregnancy?
I’m not endorsing this thesis – this was the slant of NPR. Stress in black women – causes fetal death.
Do they even listen to their own programs?
No wonder Jeff wants to walk away!
– Jeffs not a quiter, so I would guess that’s the same frustration we all feel at times when you’re dealing with a subversive group that doesn’t give a fuck about anything but raw power.
– But then again, you’ll have to ask Jeff, its not for me to speak for him, just back his efforts as best I can.
– If you know a way, practically speaking, that we can rid ourselves of Obama and avoid Romney and the old guard in the GOP, now would be a good time to mention it.
– I’ll be watching the donut for signs of life if anyone needs me.
The only way Charlie Brown is ever going to kick that football is if he punts it.
I think there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.
– If you know a way, practically speaking, that we can rid ourselves of Obama and avoid Romney and the old guard in the GOP, now would be a good time to mention it.
Practically speaking? No. You’re stuck with one or the other. But as I may have mentioned once or twice before, there are ways to weaken the machines, and to make life difficult for whichever bastards sits in the Oval Office next year.
All the GOP rule changes won’t mean a thing if we put Hobbits in every delegation. All the Executive Orders won’t mean a thing if we have a dozen governors who’ll tell the feds to fuck off. All the national machinery won’t mean a thing if we win all the local contests. All the media noise won’t mean a thing if we get in their faces and point out their lies every time they try to play games with the narrative.
I can’t rescue the Republic. I can’t even save my home state. But I can convince 10 or 20 people that everything they’ve heard about the ignorant racist backward Tea Party is lies. I can convince 10 or 20 people that leaving a $220,000,000,000,000 balance on their kids’ credit card is unspeakably cruel and irresponsible. I can convince 10 or 20 people that it really is necessary for us to reassert our individual sovereignty and push back against the nanny state. And maybe, just maybe, 1 or 2 of those 10 or 20 will go on to tell 10 or 20 others.
So that’s what I’ve been doing.
“This is too close of a race Ernst to get distracted with bullshit. Its not about right and wromg, its about there’s a place and time.”
Personally, I view the idea that the “race” is close is the bullshit. Obama’s a goner. So why bother buying the media lie, why entertain the line of stinking bullshit the media will attempt to feed you for the next two months? Just leave it.
MANIFESTO!
As for the election this November, the only thing I’ll concede is it’s the most important election this November.
All true. Also true? Mitt fucking Romney won the nomination.
I’m for an uprising from the states, as I’ve said. Against the fed. But they aren’t as likely to revolt when it’s “their” party in power. They are more likely to cut deals.
One rule change that was axed at literally the last minute was the right of the RNC to replace delegates with those it wishes to have. Which, why then even have delegates? For appearances, that’s why. We can pretend we aren’t being run by totalitarians who run on constitutional republicanism in order to defeat totalitarian leftism.
Second verse, same as the first.
Having said all that, I still try. But it was dispiriting, yet again, to watch Twitter “conservatives” yesterday making fun of the wailing of the “grass roots” (their sneer quotes, not mine) concerned about rule changes. We have an election to win!
Oh, and by the way, did you hear about Akin and the anti-gay tit shakes?!!1!eleventy
For Akin, I’m falling back to the same retort I used for Chimpy McHitlerburton back in the day: “Even if I grant that everything you assert is true — your alternative is still worse! What does it tell you, when your guy is worse than the evilest, stupidest, most pig-ignernt chimp in recent history?”
“This is too close of a race Ernst to get distracted with bullshit. Its not about right and wromg, its about there’s a place and time.”
If that’s true then distracting me the first real day of the convention with HUGELY over the top bullshit was probably a mistake. It’s a mistake that may cost the distractors the race.
If it was so important, why did Romney and his boyz fuck it up for everyone by doing what they did? Don’t blame me. Blame Romney. I told everyone who would listen that if I saw signs of this being the same old “stab your own base in the balls “2008 GOP I’d jump out. Well, I saw the signs and I saw them in bold face. I’m gone. Don’t like like it? Tell your mom. She might care. Is the country fucked? I dunno. If it is then it’s fucked because I can’t trust what used to be my party anymore. If the GOP thought I’d stay around and help after one last kick then they weren’t listening. Now I’m not donating. I’m not out making calls. I’m not speaking on their behalf. I’m not voting for their candidate. Does that help Obama? I dunno. I guess so. Why did the GOP help Obama but alienating someone who was rooting for them and trying to help them find a spine? I dunno. I don’t care. If the GOP cares they know what to do to fix this. Ryan as VP ain’t even a start.
If Reince doesn’t care if Akin takes Missouri then I don’t care if Romney takes the whitehouse. I wouldn’t vote for him if he and Obama were tied. Fuck it. Take your grand new and improved party and shove it where the etch’a sketch don’t shine.
