Conspiratorially racist? Check. Played with his dead baby? Check.
I have no idea who the hipster douche in this video is, frankly. Nor do I care, because liberals like him are a dime a dozen. But I have to ask: what are the chances he has ever poked fun at a devout Muslim? Or a non-conservative black?
The race card, the religious kook card, the homophobic card, the anti-immigrant/xenophobe card, the “caters to The Rich” card — these are all progressives have left to play in their efforts to grab or retain power, a series of baldly cynical shame cards laid out with the kind of sneering irony that couldn’t be any more whitebread liberal were it holding an earth-friendly recycled cup of designer coffee and driving a Volvo wagon. And that’s because their ideas, such as they are, routinely — and spectacularly — fail. With authority.
Don’t let them shame you. Don’t let them set the terms of the debate. Ask why, for instance, no one has asked Santorum to respond to this bit of truncated video. Or what the full context of his statement was, such that the video was edited the way it was.
Turn the tables on them: ask Andrea Mitchell, for instance, how she squares the suggestion Iowa is too white, too rural, and too evangelical (a suggestion that is supposed to frighten urban hipsters and eco-friendly drones) with the fact that the state went for Obama in 2008. Ask the douche in this video if he’s ever lost a child — fuck, ask him if he’s ever been laid by anyone who actually enjoyed it enough to return his phone calls — and if not, how he can presume to sneer at how others have handled such a tragedy.
It’s time for us to get just as mean and nasty in response to vulgar attacks and baseless insinuations as the lefties who aim them at us. Rick Santorum may forgive. But that doesn’t mean we have to.
Not anymore.
Yes, it is not clear who to trust. What did Karl “The Architect” Rove have to say last night?
It’s official. Bachmann is out. Saddle up, Rick.
The hipster douche is Sam Seder, Janeane Garofalo’s old co-host on Air America and the abortion you’re watching is what’s left of their “Majority Report” show. Lunatic fringe. Which is not to say that this garbage isn’t going to bleed into the MSM because it already is. I assume you caught Alan Colmes’ act.
Oh, this guy is horrible. If this douche is summarizing the news for you (average liberal zombie) – then you may be … stupid.
[…] THE KNIVES COME OUT FOR SANTORUM: As they would for any GOP candidate. But Santorum is going to be called out on things that, while annoying to libertarians, aren’t necessarily turnoffs for conservatives or independents. The same is not true for Ron Paul.

Even if you don’t have the stomach to get down in the mud with them, you can still stand up against them. This is the social and political version of bullying, and it relies on the reluctance of its victims to stand up for themselves. The Tea Party rallies were downplayed and scoffed at; the continuing protests against Romney are belittled and deliberately misconstrued; the Owwies are held up as the Voice of the Generation. Why? Because the establishment is desperate to make us believe that we’re alone in our beliefs. They know that the “consensus reality” they’ve achieved is artificial, but they’re bound and determined to maintain the fiction by any means necessary.
Fortunately, we don’t need to build a reality from scratch. We just need to stand up and reassert our rights as sovereign individuals, and to revive the Founders’ principles of individual liberty and limited government interference in everyone’s lives. We need only remind people of the absurdity that the
idiotsReally Smart Guys in charge have figured out how to rewire human nature, and point to the consequences of the last dozen times people turned over their lives to Really Smart Guys. We need to counter their outcome-based arguments with the fact that their desired outcomes never, ever come to fruition, and usually manage to be counterproductive to their desired goals while simultaneously stripping us of our rights, our dignity, and our freedom.Yes, there are a lot of douchebags that really need a punch in the mouth. But if that’s not your thing, then at least you can stand up to them. Question their assumptions. Challenge their assertions. Force them to face up to the fact that their positions lead inevitably to socialism, poverty, and mass death (and also force them to admit that the first leads to the others). Force them to admit that our children and grandchildren hold six-figure debts that they never agreed to, and force them to name a figure for how much debt they think the average 10-year-old should be saddled with.
We don’t necessarily need to get as mean and nasty as they are, but we most certainly need to stop being nice to them. There are plenty of Inconvenient Truths that these jerks need to face up to and answer for, and it’s far past time they were forced to recognize them.

Be nice to know what portion of that 38 percent had never caucused before period.
