Another mere coincidence

GUILT BY ASSOCIATION! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION OUR ABILITY TO KEEP SHOUTING ‘GUILT BY ASSOCIATION’ AS WE CAN BARELY CONTAIN OUR DESIRE TO RUB YOUR FACE IN HOW WE’VE GONE ABOUT HOODWINKING YOU WITH ALL OUR CAREFULLY CONTRIVED TALK OF BEING MODERATE PRAGMATISTS!

I wonder if it ever occurs to most Barack voters that the true progressives who have been building this political beast since the early seventies hold them in even more contempt than they hold conservatives and classical liberals — who at least are competent enough to see through these winking gambits.

That question was rhetorical, naturally.

    It doesn’t occur to them. I told my sister, who is an enthusiastic, bi-sexual supporter of Obama, that he had garnered her allegiance without one single concession to her main voting issue, i.e. gay marriage.

    She blinked at me one or two times and informed me that McCain was old.

  2. Slartibartfast says:

    I’m sure that Obama has the dead vote all locked up, too. Probably promised them a whole bunch of stuff.

    Which, if Congress can do anything dead people are interested in, it looks that he might just be able to deliver on.

    I was told, Re: O!, that he has a good health care plan and that Palin is unqualified to be president. There’s logic for ya.

  4. Techie says:

    I’ve been told on several questions that “Palin is too inexperienced to lead.” I responded “But Palin isn’t running for President”.

    These people are deeply invested in a President McCain dying in office.

    One then responded Palin was picked because she’s sleeping with McCain. Ah, the Party of Compassion, Reality Based.

  5. scooter (still not libby) says:

    I’m not sure a dog’s endorsement is a net positive. I mean, I love my dog but she’s very fucking stupid. She eats turds, for crying out loud. And her own vomit, sometimes.

    Both of which, strangely, will turn out to be pretty good metaphors for life in an Obama administration.

  6. SarahW says:

    Ace had vid of Obama doing the sly preacher-poke middle finger…this time, to McCain.

    Those trickstercode brer rabbit flourishes are unseemly.

  7. SarahW says:

    Here’s a link to the “sly” One.

  8. happyfeet says:

    Baracky will probably spend even more time overseas than Hugo Chavez does I think. Harry and Nancy will have free reign on the domestic stuff I’d expect. There will be an engineered crisis, you see.

  9. mojo says:

    Commodore Sparky sez: “Arf! Arf! RRRRrrrr!”

    I think that means “keel-haul the scurvy scum!”, but I can’t be sure.

  10. Carin says:

    Is it the fault of the Proggs that the commies had some really bitchen art?

  11. Carin says:

    You know, I’m starting to get really nervous. None of the trolls/O! supporters are around today. I’m guessing they’re all driving from Swing state to Swing state to get all the extra votes in?

  12. Bob Reed says:

    It may seem a foregone conclusion, but he hasn’t won yet!
    Make sure to vote yourself, and remind your neighbors and relatives.

    I know that the overall opinion of McCain is not good in this online community, but for any folks willing I might suggest that it wouldn’t hurt to go to Mav’s website and make a few GOTV calls…

    Seein’ as how they’ve spent all their dough trying to match up with O!s advertising during these last few days, they could use all of the free help they can get…

    I know that it’s a repulsive thought to more than a few here, but, it may help keep O! out of the White House…

    I’m no big McCain fan, but I’ll be makin’ a few calls this afternoon.
    So, you know, at least be nice to me if I coincidentally get your number on a contact list!

    Best Wishes…

  13. OK My Russian is super rusty but here’s what I can translate the original poster as saying:

    Lengyz (possibly lazy folk, reluctant people?)

    Register! At (or in) all known branches – possibly referring to offices.

    That’s really rough but its close at least.

    Most of these idiot propagandist posters (like the hideous Obama face graphic) are “ironic” tributes to totalitarian propaganda art in the 30s and 40s, likely the artists are quite aware of the original work and its purpose but are uber hipsters who think its cool to “appropriate” it for their use.

  14. Wind Rider says:

    I’m almost positive that upwards of 75-80% of the folks that are going to the polls tomorrow, probably more, don’t even have the first clue about how the dots not only connect, but lay out in pretty much a straight line in this case.

    If that man wins office, people will look back with longing at the Carter Presidency as a better time in American History, with less severe consequences.

    Because, keep in mind, the agenda that Barack has not only associated with, but participated in, has an underlying ultimate goal to destroy capitalism, from within the system, and to take America down a peg or two as a bonus added attraction

    We may well be witnessing a national act of societal and cultural suicide.

    Kinda like bein a passenger in a car crash, ain’t it!

  15. SarahW says:

    I posted the literal meaning here. ( in yesterday’s book thread)

    LENGEZ is an acronym for (translated) Leningrad Division of the State Press

    Marta big mouth announces “Books on all branches of knowledge!”

    As to the One’s esteem for Americans – as evidenced by the amount of information he sees fit to share with us, he thinks we all Suck!

    Big. Time.

    And that’s why he says we need to have our energies shut down and get transformed – so we won’t be fat and suck anymore. Then, maybe, the UN will help us all get sorted out, like in Congo. Cuz’ we suck. Obama knows this.

    I think that’s his plan and what some of his voters want: to make us the Hasbeen White Satan, so everyone will love us!

    Change. It’s to make us suck-free.

  19. Wind Rider says:

    Oh, what the hell have I been thinking. Actually, I agree with Senator Obama. I really DO think we need a break from the policies of the last eight years. Or more accurately, the last 28 years or so, truth be told.

  20. lee says:

    . I told my sister, who is an enthusiastic, bi-sexual supporter of Obama, that he had garnered her allegiance without one single concession to her main voting issue, i.e. gay marriage.

    It’s probably because your sister knows he’s lying about his true allegiance. Obama has come out against proposition 8 in California; defining marriage Constitutionally as between one man and one woman.

    Here’s search results in the English alphabet showing the acronym translation.

  22. gebrauchshund says:

    I’ve come up with my own pet conspiracy theory, which will be put to the test tomorrow. I think Obama and his backers do not want to win, and are actually making moves to torpedo his campaign at the last minute (like the coal comments and the finger flip). See, if he wins, he won’t be able to completely avoid responsibility for the consequences of his actions. Much blame will be heaped on Bush, and Bushite wreckers, but that will only carry so far, eventually people will hold him accountable to at least some degree, and more than he can tolerate. The potential backlash could set back the prog agenda tremendously.

    However, if he loses in a close election, he becomes a martyr struck down by the racist, irredeemably corrupt AmeriKKKa. Now they can really get rolling on the desire to tear down the system, which will have proven itself utterly resistant to reform from the inside. He can even keep up the messiah meme, with the promise that he will arise again once the world is made ready to receieve him.

    Of course, I’m just talkin’ outta my ass, but I’ve been stocking up on ammo anyway.

    Hoodwinking is a racist statement. It suggest the image of a negro winking salaciously while standing in the hood, his gold tooth twinkling saucily.

    You are denounced. No skinny goat for you, sir.

  24. McGehee says:

    I’ll bet Robert Byrd hoodwinks with the best of them.

  25. SarahW says:

    Woo, Lisa finally admits the racism of the One.

    Yet nothing can save her from my duplicity.

  28. Lisa says:

    Sarah that is his white side saying that. I am sure he gets angry and calls himself a porch-monkey from time to time. Then denounces himself and calls for an end to the politics of division.

  29. Lisa says:

    Yet nothing can save her from my duplicity.

    Ha ha ha! You rule.

  30. RC says:

    Lengiz, eh. Very crafty, certainly sly Lengiz, one would almost say cunning.

  31. Thanks Sarah, Russian grammar is a horrendous mess, it was really tough to translate some of it. Plus I only took 5 years of Russian :)

    I knew it wasn’t some kind of propaganda piece, just an announcement. Not all the art used like that was to sway opinion, it was just state-approved art.

    While we’ve been told that Barry doesn’t have any “slave blood,” I just gotta ask — given that Black Africans rounded up rival tribes for trade with European factors, could Barry have any “slaver blood?”

  33. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Black Africans rounded up rival tribes for trade with European factors

    From that part of Africa, Barry’s ancestors were more likely to be rounding up slaves to sell into the Middle East. That trade went on for a lot longer than the European one did (in fact it continues to this very day).

  34. mojo says:

    I have to wonder, though – do our new Overlords look like Mariette Hartley in “Genesis II”?

  35. Lisa says:

    Yeah Spies that is why Jesse Jackson doesn’t like him – he thinks one of Obama’s African ancestors sold Jesse’s people to one of Obamas white ancestors. LOL.

  36. Rob Crawford says:

    Yeah Spies that is why Jesse Jackson doesn’t like him – he thinks one of Obama’s African ancestors sold Jesse’s people to one of Obamas white ancestors.

    Naw, the geography suggests Obama’s ancestors sold slaves to the Arabs.
