Candy on the beach, there’s nothing better but I like candy when it’s wrapped in an insouciant nonchalance about genocide and change you can believe in and also the abolishment of fissile material.
carin, i usta bedevil greenwald and mona/hypatia in my speaker-to-animals incarnation.
im drawn to the stupid, wat cant i say.
after a while, my attention span fades and i move on.
but, BJTexs, I voted democratic today, so I figure I have some immunity. (can’t believe I’m admitting that, now I just have to drink enough to convince myself to go back for the evening convention….)

Last question, please”
You know that shit doesn’t count here, nishi. Tell me you’ve got a BFH and a correct, snappy answer and you’ll be in the game for reals.
Turns out Hillary fooled me out of my vote with Faux Obama blackness. That little minx. I suppose that’s what I get for spending 7 minutes of my day as a Democrat.
What? Obama is a nigger!?! Why didn’t anyone tell me?
That settles it. I’m gonna go vote for Hillary.
Slow down. Hillary is a jilted lesbian. She looks like she might have a touch of Injun squaw in her too. And you do know her legal middle name is Raul, don’t you?
heh My pointy was going to be that “duh, pablo i have 76000 health and 95000 mana regen. u cant touch me” is, contrary to cranky-d’s pronouncement, very much the campaign slogan.
Far be it from me to criticise something that made me spew root beer all over my laptop, but being the grammar Nazi that I am… if you’re going for the Spanish word, it’s spelled “ese”. Porque cuando se deletrea en el espanol no se usa el doble ‘s’.
Seems uber leftist Rick Perlstein didn’t much care for my post. He links from “Ourfuture.org” and notes that I’m yet another conservative who only cares about Obama’s race.
Translation, for those of you who don’t readily decode Village Voice speak: “Goldstein doesn’t use Obama’s ‘race’ properly — to cut of debate and reduce every criticism leveled at the New Messiah the product of secret hatreds toward the darkies and a genuine fear of ‘change’. Which, you know, the particulars of which we’ll fill in as we go, and as the need arises.”
I tire of these kinds of political activists, with their incestual working relationships and their echochambers and their strawman attacks. Perlstein has found a nice niche for himself: he can tell mommy and daddy that, true, he never became a doctor, but fuck it: he’s Making A Differnce and Taking Back Our Country.
Such self regard is not uncommon among the Perlsteins of the world, I don’t think. A shame so much of it is built on the hairy ass of a naked emperor.
Saw your link to my site suggesting that I am yet another of those “conservatives” who only cares about Barack Obama’s race. This is, of course, ridiculous — but then, I can’t say I’d expect much different from someone with your bio.
My point — and the point of many “conservatives” (among which I don’t count myself, incidentally; I’m a classical liberal) — is that it is the Obama campaign itself who is focused on race, down to the very structural level of their strategy. Try to criticize Obama, and you are sure to be labeled racist. Criticize Michelle Obama for calling America a “mean country” full of “sloths and cynics” that has been going downhill since 1964, and someone notes that you must be offended by her “uppitiness.”
At any rate, I’ve written plenty on race and language on my site, and as a former academic I’ve also taught a great deal on the subject. If you were interested in my beliefs, you would have taken the time to understand them. But instead, you were quick to label me in accordance to some cartoon you have in your head — failing to see the irony of how your doing so showed you to be just the kind of cartoon leftist many on the right have grown to see under every bush and in every closet.
Best,

Rick’s reply:
First, I’ve always found the tendency of right-identified citizens to distance themselves from the word “conservative” mostly a cowardly act. It’s most often a way to evade moral responsibility for the consequences of Republican policies, one of the myriad strategies of innocence without which right-wing politics in America could not thrive.
Above and beyond that observation, people who compare African-Americans to chocolate have surrendered their claim to my respect and attention, except for purposes of derision.
RP
Comparing an “African-American” to chocolate. Let the high dudgeon begin!
My god. The affected moral outrage from a guy who, I’m certain, has compared conservatives (or, sorry, “right-identified citizens,” in the parlance of political identity politics) to con men, Nazis, neaderthals, et al., is priceless.
This is the kind of political “activist” who ties his entire identity to his lust for “change” — provided he’s part of the ruling class that gets to sit atop the rubble heap he helps bring about.
My god. The affected moral outrage from a guy who, I’m certain, has compared conservatives (or, sorry, “right-identified citizens,†in the parlance of political identity politics) to con men, Nazis, neaderthals, et al., is priceless.
And of course, not to take anything calling itself “truth machine” too seriously, but I do note that he skips the entire portion of my response that qualifies the “tu quoque argument”.
Which I think he did just so he could use an exclamation point. Because an exclamation point is like a magic bullet you set upright at the end of a sentence and voila — irony!
To make chocolate what you do is you separate the cocoa solids stuff, which is brown, from the cocoa butter, which is kind of a creamy white, and then later you mix em back together and then you have your tasty chocolate bar. (For white chocolate you just use the cocoa butter and go from there with sugar and stuff.) But the point is that chocolate bars are reconstructed chocolate. Reconstructed quite deliberately, really. Often by Belgians.
truth machine: “…uh, not you, of course, Mr Obama.â€Â
Putting words in people’s mouths is fun! Whee!
And of course, not to take anything calling itself “truth machine†too seriously, but I do note that he skips the entire portion of my response that qualifies the “tu quoque argumentâ€Â.
Qualifying a tu quoque argument doesn’t make it a fallacy! Whee!
Whee! I call myself Truth Machine but I am really dummerer than a steaming pile of cow dung. Whee! I am a racist! Whee! But I project my racist sexist homophobic views onto others! Whee!
Obama’s a nigger!! A nougat filled chocolate bar! I’m not a racist because he’s black! Oh, and because of Ray Nagin! And that Mi’Chelle, there’s some angry black pussy! God I love a place where I can let it all hang out!
Here’s some “classic liberalism” for Jeff Goldstein:
“I will say, then, that I am not nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the black and white races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with White people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the White and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race.”
“…there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race.â€Â
Is that why you think you must defend Black peoples against mean old Whitey poking a little fun at them? Since they are inferior, is just isn’t fair?
The only person around here acting like a racist asshole, truth machine (a real snorter there), is … drumroll … you. You have no acquitted yourself very well. Are you going to be embarassed? Sadly, no.
Let me try this out … I am a lifelong Dem, a Left liberal if you will. I am supporting Hillary because of the patriarchy, and because there is no way on God’s green earth that I am going to let a darkie in the Oval Office. And you Republicans are racists !!!!!!!!!!1
I just puked a little in the back of my mouth. Now I really do not like truth machine. What is it with these names? Truth machine that would not know the truth if it was banging him in the ass. Datadave has yet to meet a fact. The irony. It hurts.
It’s all about Tm, JD. It’s just angry that conservatives breath the same air as him and that a few of us made chocolate jokes about Barack without The Melanin Shield.@copy;
BTW: Now that my Portuguese father is many year’s retired, can I claim a Partial Melanin Shield for my 100% Mediterranean Browness? Or ..Does the fact that he ran his own business continue to cast me as the demon spawn of a exploitive capialist running dog?
Moralizing, identity pimp liberals are always arguing with caracatures in their head. Be they libertarians (POT SMOKING SEX FIEND RACISTS!), conservatives (ALL THE ISTS AND THE PHOBES TOO!) or Christians (INTOLERANT! MEDIEVAL! UNREASON! UNSCIENTIFIC! THEOCONS!) When it happens for a while, their ability to tell the difference between real people who express those philosophies and the clown suited ideological cartoon characters flying about their heads is gone forever.
They are amusing in a just nailed road kill squirming on the highway kind of way.
Look at comment #33, quoted in #53, cretin. You are all stupid dishonest racists. Everyone knows it, even you, but you’re too cowardly to simply acknowledge it. Cowardly pathetic whiny cretins on whom I’ve spent more time than you’re worth. Enjoy your little pisshole of a blog.

I was referring to the post before that one, which was numbered and all as being in the list. I agree that “u cant touch me” is the O-meisters slogan.
Campaign them song: “Can’t Touch This.” It’s from the early 80s but since O’s philosophy is Carter redux, the song isn’t dated in comparison.

Since Lincoln said it, it must not be racist.

The only problem, douchenozzle, is that you appear to be the only one laughing at your “jokes”, and you are the only ones making those claims.

all of this identity political correctness stuff is so very complicated, although TM’s attempt to simplify just come off as simple minded.
