Identi/ty/fication politics

“[…] there is great irony to be found in the fact that the Obama campaign requires all who attend an Obama campaign speech to  show proof of identification before being granted admission, and yet the Obama administration is aggressively fighting states that wish to require voters to show that same kind of identification before being allowed to vote.”

    The campaign commercial writes itself.

    Well, see, you don’t have a “right” to access to Obama, but you have a right to vote. So remember kids, vote early and vote often, and never mind the man behind the curtain.

  3. LBascom says:

    Can’t really blame the guy, the country is positively awash in those icky undocumented people don’t you know…

    Your campaign just has to have the balls to do so.

    And even more…

    Last week the Obama crew demanded that Karl Rove and his Crossroads group should reveal their list of private donors, ironically just hours before claiming executive privilege to try and continue the cover-up of the Obama-Holder Fast & Furious scandal. So isn’t it curious that while on his daily fundraising binge Monday, Obama himself had someone privately foot the tab for security at a New Hampshire stop after the locals decided they’d had enough of this freeloader campaigning on the public dime.

    Yet they won’t disclose the donor.

  6. PCachu says:

    Admittedly, that last detail from geoff’s excerpt may well be at the donor’s request. Insty pointed to an article that noted that a lot of people footing The One’s bills for His various events aren’t too keen on getting a personal shout-out from #OccupyResoluteDesk.

    Why? IT IS A MYSTERY.

    Shit, shit, shit. From Ric Locke: It’s Lung Cancer

    I fucking hate cancer.

  8. sdferr says:

    Goddamn it. That’s gut wrenching bad news.

  9. Jeff G. says:

    I sent a note along to insty. Hopefully he’ll send some people Ric’s way.

  10. Pablo says:

    Maybe a post, fwiw? Ric used to be sort of an institution around here.

    For a fucking oxygen machine. Fuck.

  11. Pablo says:

    I suppose I might as well just bitch at God. Fuck.

    This is right in the neighborhood of finding out Breitbart dropped dead. Son of a bitch.

  12. bh says:

    Shit.

  13. McGehee says:

    I’ll contribute to Ric’s need, but it’ll mean having to skip the July fundraiser here at PW. Just this once.

  14. palaeomerus says:

    Hey Jeff, mind putting a post up about the fires? I hear that the Waldo Canyon fire is leading to Colorado springs getting evacuated right now. Stay safe.

  15. EBL says:

    I am sorry about Ric. That totally sucks.
