Maybe if we just distance ourselves from the anti-abortion nutjobs; the xenophobes who hate the best, most noble brown lettuce pickers among us, yearning to be free; and adopt the narrative that Obama is very nice, very likeable good man who it just so happens had a bit more trouble being President than he might otherwise have had had he more time to prepare for the job; then the media will like us and treat us with respect and dignity and fairness!
And then maybe Michael Moore will swear off cheese and pork fat and make a documentary embracing the very capitalist that has turned his adipose-engorged mass into an enormously wealthy, and enormously cheap, socialist / Marxist.
Look → How many more ways can I say this: Stop. Trying. To. Get. Them. To. Eat. You. Last. Instead, try knocking their fucking teeth out for a change, then telling them to come and try to gum you to death.
It’s a real attitude adjuster, that latter.
(thanks to Darleen)
Above all, let’s not mention Obama by name. Because, neanderthals, the way to convince the saintly Undecided that Obama is a disaster is to avoid discussing him by name. Oblique and elliptical wins the race.. Now shut up and join Rich Lowry in licking Romney’s boots.

ABC has identified the miscreant and you’ll be happy to know that he’s not an ABC News employee, but rather Yahoo News’ Washington Bureau Chief David Chalian. Certainly, ABC News would never employ someone like David Chalian, former Political Director for ABC News.
And if distancing doesn’t work, we’ll join in on the wilding too.
THAT’LL SHOW ‘EM WE’RE GOOD PEOPLE
People drowning. Dang if they haven’t decided to swim.
So, has Obama blamed this hurricane on Bush yet? Has Romney?
Quick. To the Superdome!
Holy shit. I was kidding… sorta.
Ever have the feeling you was being watched?
Every day. Just not linked.
And if they call you a murderer and a felon, just show the world what a nice normal guy you are by wrapping yourself in God, family and the flag!
Because what are swing voters going to believe, what mediacrats tell them to believe, or their own lying eyes?
Dylan Byers is reporting Yahoo!News has fired said moron.
Rush just went through this with a perfectly pleasant, intelligent woman who doesn’t see the need to hit them with both barrels because it isn’t nice and we don’t have to fight dirty just because they do —which they do anyways regardless of what we say or do, and which she acknowledged.
It’s not enough to just beat them. We seem to feel the need to beat them because we’re better than they are and deserve to beat them, and to be seen and acknowledged as better and more deserving.
They’re trying to subjugate us, and we’re trying to convert them. That’s the problem.
That’s the problem.
Problem or opportunity?
Or, as it was so eloquently put on a bumper sticker I saw the other day,
“When you’ve got ’em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.”
It was just over and down from a “Semper Fi” bumper sticker on the same car.
Both. But more problem than opportunity as long they can say whatever they want and we won’t punch back because we’re too proud to fight.
I’ve been thinking about this since yesterday, and I really do believe it’s as simple as playing Buckley when they decide to play Vidal. They call us a crypto-nazi or pro-crypto nazi, we call them a queer. And we’ll have the advantage of telling the truth.
Then we sock ’em ’til they stay plastered.
That would certainly an approach I could get behind, Ernst. Of course, I’m sort of a violent, Visigoth of a girl.
I link you. It is a privilege to do so.
OT (but should be it’s own topic, because patronizing swing voters is what the consultants live and die by, and over whom they insist we tie our hands):
read the whole thing
*sigh* I hate it when political writers sling around psychological terminaology as if they knew what those terms meant.
Are we already chasing the All Important Undecided? I read somewhere that only about 3-5% of the voting populace was undecided.
Stop. Trying. To. Get. Them. To. Eat. You. Last. Instead, try knocking their fucking teeth out for a change, then telling them to come and try to gum you to death.
While, by rights, this should be called something like ‘The Goldstein Procedure’, in light of what Ernst wrote above, methinks it should be called ‘The Buckley Procedure’ – in memory of WFB.
Frank ‘The Duntz’ Luntz?!?
Whaddya mean already leigh? We’re always chasing undecided voters. We want them so much we’ll spurn us to show them how much we want to be like (and liked by) them.
Actual bar conversation, about a week ago:
“I keep telling you, but you never listen!”
“Yeah, well, that would be because you’re an idiot, Dan. You’ve got shit for brains. Why would I care about your stupid opinion?”
“I HAVE A RIGHT TO MY OPINION, FASCIST!”
“Yeah, granted. But that don’t mean I have to give a shit what it is.”
In Barak Obama’s America, the opinions of shit for brains idiots are equal to the opinions of fascists. And you will be MADE to LISTEN and LEARN to OBEY.
Because hate IS love.
Thank you, EBL. But you have to know that you’re in the minority.
It wasn’t always thus. And it isn’t because I’ve been persistently wrong, either.
– Jeff, it’s always the white knights on the gallant steeds that get nailed first in battle.
* thus endesth todays lesson.
Pravda nedia on the Hudson:
“ABC News: Romneys ‘Happy to Have a Party When Black People’r Drowning’”
– Undecided voter: “…Golly, this Romney feller must be some strong dude to whip up a storm like that’un….I’m a’gonna have to toss in a vote for him Mabel.”
Word on the street is that Ann Romney’s address will bring about world peace.
But if this failed, nothing can succeed.
I’m just sayin’.
Bad link there. Good link here.

Sean Bean? Is that you?
Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
Not everyone can cower in the back.

Alternate Headline:
Five more thoughts than Ezra Klein normally has in a day.
But on reading, that’s kind of an overstatement.
In re Ezra Klein’s five Deep Thoughts™:
1) “You didn’t build that” perfectly encapsulates a great deal of what is wrong with Obama’s world view. Hammer and tongs are in order. There’s an inverse correlation between how close something hits to home and how breezily Young Mr. Klein wants to dismiss the topic out of hand.
2) The welfare attack attack has not been discredited. See item number 1.
3) I see white people.
4) Did he really complain above in item #2 about something being taken out of context?
5) “All that said, day one is meaningless.” Sure, just ask David Chalian.
Every day. Just not linked.
Hey now. I link you, but my mom doesn’t know how to use the mouse clicker thingy.
I’m not certain how not having a convention helps the black people without swimmies in NOLA, but I’m damn sure I know how it would help the half-black failure in the oval office.

I heard the aforementioned conversation btw Rush and the nice lady, and while she was talking, I kept thinking to myself that it doesn’t matter a whit what conservatives and classical liberals do or say. The left and the lickspittle media (but I repeat myself) will call us hateful, racist, bigoted, homophobic, judgemental, fascist, Gaia-raping, poor-folk-pillaging, rich white guys.
Plus a few other adjectives that I left out.
You have to come to the same realization that Marty McFly did in BTTF III, when Buford Tannen was standing out in the street calling him chicken, and everyone in the bar was asking if he was going to take that, and he finally said “He’s an ASSHOLE! “
And then bust them in the chops with the cast iron door from a pot-belly stove.
I kept thinking g- d- women voters and their g- d- need for everybody to pretend to be nice and appear to get along!

You asked.
I’ve been unsure for some time now whether, knowing what I know now, I would have supported the 19th Amendment.
One more kick to the head, just to be sure:
Yeah, other than the need to have more money coming in from worker/investors than you’re paying out to early investor/retirees, there’s absolutely nothing in common.
wrong thread
[slinks away head hanging]
I argued quite well [I say in all modesty] for the repeal of the 19th Amendment here:
http://thecampofthesaints.org/2011/05/03/offend-a-feminist-the-case-for-repealing-the-19th-amendment/
McGehee, I’ve been all for repealing the 19th Amendment since the Clinton years.
Hey now. We’re not all idiots! I blame our upbringing. we’re raised not to be impolite or confrontational.
Like just this week, I willingly allowed one of my coworkers to believe that I’m an imbecile, rather than openly confront her with the real reason for my actions.
because being blunt causes friction and doesn’t solve anything. I swear it’s a mental disease and I have it. I have to actively self-talk about being assertive and not giving a damn about other people’s reactions.
This is why I keep my opnions to myself, avoid all political discussion in real life (unless it’s with people I know are “safe”) – and then when I get in the voting booth I do the smart thing.
Like this year (not voting at all)
I swear it’s a mental disease and I have it. I have to actively self-talk about being assertive and not giving a damn about other people’s reactions.
No, missfixit, I think you’re like most women. Most of us would rather steam about something than let on what we really think.
I do not have this problem, but I realize that most women are not like me.
y now. I link you, but my mom doesn’t know how to use the mouse clicker thingy.
I link Jeff all the time too. All of my readers (all 30 of them) appreciate it, I’m sure.
There once was a view that life consisted of many realms, areas of life apart from one another, each realm possessing its own dignity and importance to human life, each equipped to see to its interests and needs. In these various realms or walks in life different sorts of people ruled. Government today aims to eliminate that older way of thought, replacing all those various elements of human life with but one element: itself.
If mothers and grandmothers once ruled — and were acknowledged to rule — a relatively free realm all their own, they seem in contrast today to be too happy let that place slide away, or to give that possession away, to take instead the smaller role of the citizen voter or benefit-recipient where not a voter at all.
Well, if Ann Coulter is for repealing the 19th, how can I be against it?
That’s pretty much what the perfectly pleasant, intelligent (genuinely, no sarcasm implied)woman said. She understood that the Democrats were going to do what they were going to do, but she didn’t want to hit back.
Actually I think your disease is more chromosomal than mental in origin. [sly smile]
You durn women just want everyone to be nice so they’ll lower their guard, expose their backs, and then you’ll have them right were you want to stab them.
The sad part of all of this is that I’m an engineer and I work with men all day long. then I come home and parent my boys by myself. I spend my whole waking life trying to actively be something that, deep down, I know I’m not suited for.
I don’t want everyone else to be nice – I just don’t want to have to be the one to knock someone’s teeth out. I’d rather wait til the mess is over and get the blood out of the rug.
And then maybe make some margaritas. I’m disgusted with myself. ;)
In the immortal words of Larry (of Larry, Darryl and Darryl):
“Women. Can’t live with ’em. Can’t stuff ’em in a sack.”
Teasing aside, I think there’s probably more evolutionary psychology involved than acculturation.
Can’t say that I’ve put alot of thought into it though.
at least I didn’t shame myself by voting for Obama. Or Kerry. So I got that goin for me.
You can, however, stuff them in the stack.
IYKWIM&ITTYD
sack not stack
frakkin fumble fingers
did you mean “Stuff them in the sack“?
:P
oh good. whew. I was thinking I might have another chromosomal abnormality.
Hay stack? Roll in?
Stuff ’em: “Another cannoli, dear? Oh come on, just one more.”
