But he isn’t, so, well, you know. It’s a Black thing. We wouldn’t understand.
Besides. Jim Crow.
Which reminds me: there is no GOP establishment. Except when there is. So says George Will, in yet his latest effort at putting an erudite spin on “I know you are but what am I?”
Defeated by such fancy thinking, I think it’s time we TEA Party supporters cut our losses, pack up our shit, and head back to the double wides to deep fry us up a Thanksgiving turkey. Our work in the big city is done!
Frankly, I’m happy we get to stop making signs and marching — and once again use cardboard the way God intended us to, as a kind of padded barrier surrounding the cock fighting pits.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Cardboard is to replace missing window panes and to stop up the leak in the water heater.
No shit!?
When can I expect that sweet, sweet lobbyist money to start flowing in?
Merck! I’m here. Even though I prefer people use your product voluntarily, call me!
Actually? some Pastor out in Wa. brought a lawsuit against the demonrat party asking for an apology for their past racism. No link, I can’t remember where I read it.
Too soon?
Well, if so, I’ll throw this out for appeasement.
At least Perry don’t double down on stupid, like Will and Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger has his finger on the pulse of the nation I tells ya…

klavan pedaling the “good man” meme
Link
Klavan needs to get a clue, huh, newrouter! When it comes to childish slanders, what with your outstanding leadership, we’ve got a million of ’em.
“When it comes to childish slanders, what with your outstanding leadership, we’ve got a million of ‘em.”
I’m going to need an example.
Oh, never mind…
Nice to see Cleaver admit he’s a race-hustling hypocritical toady.
Yeah, that’s right Lee, all I do here is spend my time slandering poor little newrouter. Ha!
“Klavan needs to get a clue, huh, newrouter!”
tired of people telling me to ignore what i see.
“. It should be explained, discussed, and analyzed seriously — not obscured beneath perfervid speculation or absurd charges.”
i like how mr. klavan has set the terms of the discussion.
“obscured beneath perfervid speculation or absurd charges. Obama is not a Muslim. He wasn’t born in Timbuktu. He doesn’t rub his hands together when he’s alone and mutter, “The economy is almost destroyed. One more stimulus package should do the trick! Bwahahahaha.”
This Klavan fellow knows what Obama thinks when he’s alone. We definitely need to pay attention.
‘Cuz at heart, Obama is a good, though perhaps misguided, man.
We should talk about that.
Hmmm, the video that Klaven linked to, it seems the user decided to take it down.
Maybe it wasn’t definitive after all.
video here
or attack watch. cause baracky’s crew never punish their enemies.
when you have a scoamf no more free passes.
How about we continue the quote a bit further. Just for the shits and giggles…
Or not. Doesn’t sound “good man” to me but what do I know, just another anonymous internet person here.
“Good man” has become a talisman as well.
Is he one? Of course not. Does that mean that this video snippet means jack shit? Of course not.
Besides, it’s obvious, she says, “Does your presidency make my ass look big?”
It’s there clear as day.
“Most of Obama’s supporters, I would imagine, do not share the radical anti-Americanism inherent in this vision. ”
so a snake oil salesman, that is intentionally inflicting economic pain on the body politic for his own reasons, is what? well not evil that’s for sure according to klavan.
that video needs sound so you can hear what she’s saying
it is not evil to take $500 million to help to poor school children in chitown and give it to your cronies. no not evil at all.
That always bothers me though.
Just a minor amount of education (let alone too much) would open their eyes to the knowledge problem.
no that’s not evil that your chief of staff was/is a huge slum lord in chitown while she spouts “social justice” non sense. move along people. jeez
Obama is a Marxist. Sorry, that’s what he is. Half American, half Muslim, half white, half assed; it is all distraction. Joe the plumber exposed him before he was elected, everything he’s done since has proven the case.
If Obama were a good man, he would admit what he is and make the case America should socialize on a global scale. Instead he obscures his true beliefs beneath crisis born necessity and social justice inspired class warfare. he is not truthfull about exactly were he wants to take the country, and relies on the useful idiot MSM to sell his actions as pragmatic.
Obama is a liar and a tyrant, not a good man.
‘Cuz he’s perhaps misguided…
I’d say a video where you can’t tell what the hell that dingbat is saying is about the worst possible jumping off point if we’re to discuss how Obama quite clearly isn’t a good man.
if you tax leftoid lunacy in the “court of public opinion” you get less leftoid lunacy. klavan doesn’t want to apply the tax. the klavans and freys play by rules that aren’t honored.
Completely off topic, way off topic …. We should all welcome Beth Behrs and her legs that go all the way to her ass.
I missed where he called him a good man.
No. That’s the talisman we use.
I heard “supercilious prats” and a rather unremarkable contention that they’re not necessarily going to act like cartoon villains in public.
What, he’s supposed to lie to us because they lie to their rubes?
I agree with you in the game theory sense. But, that doesn’t include us trumping up nonsense where it’s so easily knocked down. How about we just say that he’s an anti-American Marxist who has been destroying the nation since his inauguration? That’s believable. There’s lots and lots of evidence for that.
So why do we feel the need to press dumb ass shit like this when we have real weapons to use against him?
Because he’s not a cartoon villain. He’s all too real. And what Klavan wants us to accept, by way of cartooning what we think Obama is up to, is that Obama couldn’t possibly be intentionally following strategies he learned from Alinksky and Frank Davis and at Cooper Union and through Cloward and Piven and his time as a “community organizer” and race hustler.
Frankly, I’m tired of people who think themselves so smart — and yet are too lazy to learn about, much less accept, what are FACTS about Obama’s past and his intellectual “training” — telling people who HAVE bothered to figure this guy out that we’re not helping by ascribing to Obama motives he can’t possibly have. Because those are the product of “perfervid speculation or absurd charges” that are not serious. Meaning, Klavan is allowed to ascribe to US motivations of the very kinds he won’t allow ascribed to Obama by people who understand what he’s up to.
It’s a way of seizing some intellectual high ground you haven’t earned by dismissing that which you find too tawdry to believe.
And that won’t fly. I don’t have any idea where Obama was born, nor does Klavan. We have Obama’s word and a dubious bit of documentation. I don’t know if Obama is a “Muslim,” either; I just know that Reverend Wright’s black liberation theology and the Nation of Islam aren’t exactly worlds apart, in terms of many of their core beliefs. And while I’m quite sure Obama doesn’t sit alone cackling about the undermining of the capitalist system, it is a fact that he is pushing for a massive tax increase on the last remaining segment of the private sector with capital left to confiscate and redistribute, and that he’s right now trying to reframe the “rich” and “millionaires and billionaires” as those who are really nothing more than the modern upper middle class. The class warfare appeal is clearly not accidental, nor is the race baiting and allegations of “anti-union/anti-working man.”
If Klavan wants to talk seriously with someone, I suggest he give Stanley Kurtz a call. Or hell, I’m happy to talk with him.
But he might stop pretending that only people like he or Moran, etc., — those with the fine breeding enough not to consider the information contained in the whispers on the extremist fringes — are capable of serious discussion or analyses.
“a rather unremarkable contention that they’re not necessarily going to act like cartoon villains in public.”
oh really class warfare, like millionaires and billionaires, isn’t a cartoon vision? the leftoids do it all the time. sorry that game is finished. only tucker carlson is playing it these days.

Besides, it’s obvious, she says, “Does your presidency make my ass look big?”
And the only rational response to that would be, “No. Your gifuckingnormous ass makes your ass look big”
Of course, I could be going too hard at Klavan.
I’m a little short these days with people who cartoon my views. I have no opinion on the flag thing. Someone sent me the link, but I never got around to watching it.
I thought Michele had already made it quite clear what she thought of this bourgeois country whose taxpayers put her up in 5-star hotels and pay for her endless vacations and personal stylist/designer. She can only now be proud, the rubes having elected Barack.
When they toss his craven ass out she’ll go back to hating the great unwashed with the fat kids only she is trying to save.
“’d say a video where you can’t tell what the hell that dingbat is saying is about the worst possible jumping off point if we’re to discuss how Obama quite clearly isn’t a good man.”
Does it matter what she’s saying, or more when she is saying something?
Asking for someone to pass the peas during the blessing is rude, kinda like toasting the queen during her national anthem.
Doesn’t make you bad necessarily, but I’d argue that speculation is not unwarranted..
By the way? I’m quite proud of the “good man” talisman.
I take full credit for making that fucker GLOW!
maybe that’s whats got me: michelle doesn’t have, after princeton and harvard, the self control to shut the eff up for 10 minutes in a social setting. whiney effin’ fatty.
Does Klavan have some backstory I don’t know about? Is he often a dick or something? (Honestly, I’ve watched about 30 seconds of one of his videos.)
If he’s all about sniping at the peoples and this is part of a pattern, I don’t pay enough attention to the guy to know it. If he doesn’t have that history, I’m not seeing it. Maybe I’m keying in too much on that ludicrous video interpretation.
I’m not busting your balls with the talisman talk, Jeff.
You don’t use it that way. Nor did you introduce it that way.
It’s descriptive or ironic for you.
Talismanic is my term for describing when it’s used simply to go for an easy rhetorical win rather than put forth the effort.
One of Klavan’s recent efforts on Obama.
“Does Klavan have some backstory I don’t know about?”
no he’s just taking the easy way out when discussing baracky. he’s part of the fedora crew.
I don’t know where Klavan is coming from exactly, but as someone who bit hard on the moron wingnut noise machine during Clinton, I expect video of Michelle Obama fucking herself with a KFC drumstick while humming the Cuban National anthem before I give a shit.
“herself with a KFC drumstick while humming the Cuban National anthem”
oh please the The Internationale
Hadn’t considered that, Lee.
Yeah, you’re right. That’s there regardless of whatever she said.
Thanks for that, Abe. I may not sleep tonight, after reading that. How am I going to explain to the J-4 why I am so bleary eyed tomorrow, when I go in for an assignment?
I think Jeff and S. Kurtz have given us all the demolition material we need for O! = good man. No need to waste time parsing Mrs O!’s talking during the flag ceremony – she (and he) have demonstrated enough outside that to be considered ungood.
Okay, here’s an analogy.
Take Perry and the Merck deal. Bachmann bugged the hell out of me and actually hurt herself with some of her rhetoric. Even though there is something there.
On the other hand, pay attention to Geoff during this whole thing. Never stretching the truth like this video interpretation. Just quietly murdering the guy with facts and details.
At the moment, the Merck/Perry/Gardisil dealio isn’t a -1 for me. It’s a -5.
Bachmann didn’t do that. Geoff did.
(Not that this was his intent. He’s just looking for the truth of the matter.)
“No need to waste time parsing Mrs O!’s talking during the flag ceremony”
there is always a need to sow doubt about this regime. they gotta big media waiting to unleash.
“At the moment, the Merck/Perry/Gardisil dealio isn’t a -1 for me. It’s a -5.
Bachmann didn’t do that. Geoff did.”
only if you put the “debate” about sex and vaccinations otherwise ricky perry is a big gov’t do as i say guy. ricky let peeps know you want to take their liberties and the burritos.
there is always a need to sow doubt about this regime. they gotta big media waiting to unleash.
Anyone willing to buy shit like this already thinks he’s a Kenyan. So, way to fight that liberal media, Sparky.

“Anyone willing to buy shit like this already thinks he’s a Kenyan. ”
or an idiot. i say call baracky an idiot. some folks in the middle think so too?
Trust me, ‘feets. I’m not a big fan of those cancers.
But… (yeah, I’m definitely the asshole who says “but” now) that’s what a record is for. To be looked over.
That doesn’t make him a devil nor does it erase his positives. But, it’s there. It’s something to be weighed.
If it puts this into context for you imagine I’m talking about his horrible Christian pandering at the Super Texas Dome or whatever.
Doesn’t change the fact that he does indeed have positives and it doesn’t change the fact that Obamacare counts for at least -1000 against his possible opponent.
But, it’s there. It’s problematic and isn’t what we’d hope for from an executive.
“gardasil! gardasil! dry and secure!”
let’s talk about sex rather than gov’t overreach. go swiss cake rolls.
This here does more harm to Bachmann as this is not a presidential way to act but more like Obama.
I like much of what Bachmann has stood for but this is a foot in mouth moment. I would not at all be surprised if it turns out the un-named “woman” who told her this is an opposition operative. Call it her “macaca” moment if that proves true.
I’m just thankful that the Bachmann bandwagon finally has a raging herpes flareup.
She might be out. If she endorses Romney I’m gonna laugh my ass off.
Don’t think she will. It’d be funny though. That whole Obamacare and Perrycare without Romneycare fundraising talk gives me some hope for future laughs.
Gonna be real honest here.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that unnamed woman doesn’t exist.
Besides, we can’t really pretend that it’s better if she only passed it along from this mystery woman can we?
I can’t.
There’s no positive out for her here. She’s either lying or too gullible to be president
But she wants it so so so much.
Holy crap! What is he talking about?
Not better no, just as bad.
Sorry, I’m overly loose sometimes.
Oftentimes even.
sorry i had to go to chin-chin’s
I hear steroids shrink your “stuff”.
The bigger your biceps, the smaller your…you know.
Yet another in a long string of foot in mouth moments. She can’t stop.
It gets worse.
This is easy. All you have to do is listen to Dr. (yes, DOCTOR!) Lamont Hill, Distinguished Professor of Black Studies.
What you get is a big heap of bullshit wrapped neatly in black skin. If you can make heads or tails, or sense out of anything Dr. (yes, DOCTOR) Hill says, see a counselor immediately.
It’s the classic Peter Principle accelerated due to the black man getting his due, after centuries of oppression.
I don’t deny the oppression part, I just don’t get where Clarence Thomas fits in to the whole reparations bit. What memo did Clarence miss? Did Walter Williams miss a meeting? Was Herman Cain raised by white people.
Obama is trying to bullshit his way out of a situation that is clearly above his pay grade. He’s a con man with a problem: he’s an idiot.
Interesting thing is, with all the criticisms of Sarah Palin not being ready for primetime, I feel that way with Bachman. Stuff comes out of her mouth sometimes and I wonder what the hell she was thinking prior to saying it. I don’t think she’s a loon or religious nutjob or anything like that and she certainly was instrumental in mobilizing the tea party and setting out the important issues in the last election. I could see her with a cabinet post or running for Senate but I just don’t see her as presidential material right now.
His main “mark” is himself, so it’s not really a problem …. for him.

I don’t understand. It’s Romney vs. Perry you have to pick one. I have to pick Perry cause nominating Romney would be a big Fuck You to the party of tea, which would be bad for you and bad for me and bad for America.
Why hf? “It’s Romney or Perry you have to pick one” is exactly the same form as “it’s Obama or Romney you have to pick one” to which you yourself have said, no, no I don’t.
well I mean if you want to play you have to pick
I can really easily see me losing any and all motivation to play come next November but still I’m hopeful I can just go in and vote for Perry and get my sticker
not that I like Perry or anything it’s just that’s where we are it seems
it’s very disappointing though that the Team R people aren’t talking about the spendings just gardasils and errant mexians
I care not a whit about gardasils and errant mexicans
Isn’t it though? There is a great story to tell, both in terms of the dangers we face and also in terms of the terrific renewal that facing and conquering those dangers would bring. But the candidates we have aren’t possessed of the requisite grounding in political philosophy nor, apparently, of a governing vision sufficiently fleshed out in their own minds that they might present — or else, I assume, they’d have presented it by now.
Typically in human history, great crises bring forth great men of action. It could be that this crisis will be an exception, and the people will go wanting a leader worthy of the challenge. Unless, maybe, we seek and find one on our own.
“the spendings just gardasils and errant mexians”
the spendings and errant “mexians” are related no.
if Team R isn’t ready they should just say so
what they’re going to inherit economically is not something they should sign up for if they don’t have a good grasp of the ramifications
and they needed to have started explaining the situation yesterday
errant mexians are far less problematic than the average R would have you believe
errant mexians in prison cost dineros no?
Everything can be related to the “spendings”.
It is just necessary to decide what “spendings” are right, proper, and needed.
That said, if my choice is Romney or Perry then I choose Perry. His speech on Israel was very good.
We should also take a moment to thank president Obama for all he has done for us. No really.
Here’s a strange thought. How about Clarence Thomas run for President? He might be up to the task.
the spendings revealed yummy
Link
texas has a balanced budget though so the gardasils came at the expense of something else, which is way different than how America does the spendings
I would choose Clarence over that Romney person every single time. Romney lied and said Perry wanted to abolish social security and acted like Perry was overstating the fundamental insolvency of that ill-fated ponzi scheme.
Romney’s a liar and a douchebag. Also he’s a pansified masachussetts fuddletwat.
what is a $16 muffin? How many people does it feed? Does it have fun prizes inside?

Y’all remember Ali Abunimah? He was one of Obama’s Palestinian pals prior to Barry’s announcement for the Presidency. Abunimah fessed up right around then that he and others would have to quiet down for Obama’s sake, and further, to not expect too much of their buddy on the Palestinian’s behalf, the US Presidency being a captive of the Israeli lobby and all — so Barry would have to be cut some serious slack on that account.
Anyhow, Ali shows up in Foreign Affairs yesterday, talking shit about Abbas’ plan to run through the UN. Well, that and making (or assuming, more like) the case that Israel has no legitimate right to exist. Nice friends Obama keeps.
This chunk-O’-shite by Abunimah stacks in pretty well with that vid take-off of Sol Stern that Bill Whittle’s narrating.
