…and if we outlaws have any true revolutionary spirit, we’ll greet the mainstream press first, with hot tar, filthy pigeon feathers, and stocks built and set out in the public square. To be followed immediately by the merciless taunts of John Bolton’s mustache, Regis, echoing in their blistered treasonous ears.
As for Axelrod’s mustache, I say we have that thing forcibly shaved off, carefully reconfigured, and then returned to Stalin’s moldering corpse, from which the Chicago red initially borrowed it.
— Though it is very communisty that they shared it in the first place, so at least they’ve got ideological purity to speak for them. Which, I guess that’s a small victory for the historical dialectic.

Stalin’s moldering corpse? I suppose that’s less disturbing than some other places a reconfigured Axlestache could have been glued…
Squid, Ax doesn’t glue it there — he just holds it there.
I’m working on a new work of Art I call “Piss Rather”. If it works out I’ll start working on “Piss Olbermann with floating chunks of dook”.
The Media Narrative is taking shape: Obama “didn’t mention Bain, didn’t mention the dog, didn’t mention the 47%, he threw it, scared of being the angry black man”
etc, etc. It’s mix-n-match. And any number can play.
Yes, they DO think you’re stupid.
– The Left has retreated to the quiet safety of the collective star chamber, to avoid ‘hearing’ anything that discredits the narrative.
– Bummblefuck did not go near the 47%, or any of the other strawmen, because he knew, or at least his advisors knew, that if he did he’d get flattened like a cupcake under a steamroller.
– Those phoney troupes only work as long as they’re floated without retort. Rush did a whole segment on that bullshit this morning. Jug ears didn’t because he couldn’t without running the risk of losing them as campaign attack talking points and through the lap dog press.
– Anyway, I thought Michelle shaved her mustache, so what is everyone going on about?

They’re another star chamber over there, even as they hang on by their finger nails, denying anything that Mittens said, as usual. Another “Utopia”, and not noticing how they tied theor tail to Obama’s kite.
– Just another plain and obvious example of how widespread this Leftist cancer really is.

It takes a, er, special kinda person to work with the medium, but still, it only counts if you get funded by the NEA.
Otherwise, it’s just a jar of piss.
Can we say that the MSM is consciously – and insidiously – manipulating the wider American public in an effort to empower the left, while at the same time using the universal derision of Obama’s debate performance by the very same MSM as an example that demonstrates Romney overwhelmingly defeated Obama last night?
what is it about empty chairs
58 million viewers: Debate ratings top first debate from 2008; Update: Revised upwards to 67.2 million
Romney only beat Obama in the debate because he hates hope and black people so much. Didn’t you know? He’s a bully. UGLY*.
*(In the sense of ugly that pertains to a vicious backward hillbilly mob that hates foreigners…or the band Foreigner, I can never remember which is morally worse…not in the Jim Messina ‘looks like a bad house of wax figure left too close to the radiator’ sense of ugly.)
Damn. Somebody sued PF.
Who could’ve predicted that would happen ?
Can’t the two things simply be of one piece jrd? The media can’t get their man over the top if they’re lying to themselves and him about how he’s performing in fact, especially if they want to help him improve his act.
Obama Twitter feed takes over WaPo’s website
Frey seems remarkable gullable for an ADA in a county as large as Los Angeles.
You’d think being around criminals all of the time would give him better perspective.
This is a comment that should go viral, from Instapundit:
Obama doesn’t understand power, he thinks possessing it is enough. So he looks at any competing power not with challenging, calculating, optimistic eyes, but with the Michele side-eye of insecurity and resentment.
Is why you empower 23 czars and go golfing…
Which is why he’s Vladmir Putin’s bitch.
Nadia Naffe is a scrunt in the Rauhauser/Kimberlin orbit and her lawyer is big Barrett Brown fan. I hope everyone loses in this one.
Partisan bias is mostly distortion rather than manipulation. And it’s insidious because it’s (again for the most part) unconscious rather than conscious.
If it was conscious, the fluffers on MSNBC wouldn’t have been so upset with Obama, would they?
Pablo, I get the sense Putin was trying to say Romney is a better negotiator than Obama, without actually using those words.
I might be biased because I’m pretty sure outside the middle east, among the stable nations of the world, Obama scares the shit out of them.
I mean, they were scared of the cowboy Bush having his hands on nukes and the American military, they’re terrified of the schoolchild Obama.
Say what now?
President Obama reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowlegable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.
Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.
According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.

How would I be able to distinguish between this and any Olbermann show?
Heh, I just heard a radio show bumper…”in Obamas America, even Obama doesn’t do well.”
“….a lie will be across the Nevada border before the truth gets its pants on.”
– Harrys riding dirty again. You could cut the panic on the Left with a butter knife.
Obama: “Uh”
I think the meme that Obama is some sort of Chauncy Gardner who doesn’t understand power is dangerous. I also think that it has been demonstrated that the tone setters of the MSM are part of the professional left. They are more than simply a clique that lacks self-awareness. I admit that it is possible they could also accurately represent the debate (Obama was creamed) because to do otherwise would risk credibility and avoid Obama’s necessary course correction.
However the uniformity is what is making me nervous. It also makes me nervous that the political right, which has spent a great deal of energy exposing and impugning the MSM’s credibility, is now collectively saying that in this one instance the MSM is accurately representing what occurred.
Perhaps the bigger play here is to disarm the right’s attack, give Obama cover to be aggressive,
Oops, accidentally hit submit…
And create a euphoria now that will act to dispirit the right once it is reported that Obama’s “come back” has been effective.
They could cost Obama the illusion of his inevitable momentum playing games like that. A lot of people WANT to be able to hate the last four years but fear what their friends might think if they came out with that emotion. If their friends say he sucks then that turns a lot of energy loose as people stop pretending to believe in him in exchange for not being called a racist. And once that barn door is opened, and a consensus forms in the open that Obama is overrated and a disappointment and needs to go, I really don’t think the press could get those people back in the corral in the weeks they have left.
I think they drank they’re own kool-aid and are pissed off that the empty-suit proved himself to be exactly who we knew he was instead of who they told us (and themselves) he was.
But yeah, the media loves a good come from behind win.

Unhinged: Harper’s Mag accuses Romney of ‘sly’ racist jab at Obama
don’t say “boy” when you be addressing baracky
I think you’re trying to be too smart by half.
Second guessing success is what’s dangerous.
Harper’s? That’s one of those mags that no one reads but pretentious douchebags keep on their coffee tables so their pretentious friends know they read.
Kind of like The New Yorker.
I mean crediting them for being too smart…
Harper’s?
funny how the proggtards go for the “boy”
Obama is no Chauncey Gardner, but is he also not very bright. His vocabulary is minimal anytime he is speaking casually, very slangy and his grammar is poor, as well. He repeats words and phrases that others put together for him and does a fair job of that when speechifying. I don’t find him compelling, but I am not his audience, either.
Off script is a disaster, as we saw last night. He can’t think on his feet and needs street-fighters to clear the way for him so he doesn’t actually have to say anything substantive.
He is in thrall to celebrities and celebrity. Look at the parties. So many, many parties that are not important to the running of the country, but merely him having a good time in the WH.
He’s an imposter and has been called out for who he is. Only the kool-aid drinkers will have his back this time. The more he speaks, the wider the margin for Romney.
We are homesick for a real president, a leader. A mensch.
Obama isn’t any of the above.
Romney may well lose or win and also turn out to be less than adequate, but it’s a chance I’m ready to take.
Obama isn’t any of the above.
– In fact Leigh, Obama isn’t any of the things he was propped up to be by the Hollywood animatronics crew at Pixar studios.
– Last night the grease paint was sliding down the cheek, one eyelash dangling, one shoe untied. The poser construct came apart, and the Left is in reactionary meltdown. He couldn’t have disabused the true believers anymore if he’d have walked out to the podium, dropped his pants, and taken a dump on the stage. They are in total free fall.
– And today it got worse. Jug ears seems to be a victim of his own truthiness these days, and out on the stump, post-debate, he continued to chew on his own feet. “The real Romney didn’t show up.” The ‘hopey’ part, pure Lefturd projection. Hes hoping that he doesn’t ever have a repeat like last night, when the real Romney AND the real Obama show up again.
– Obama may still edge out a win, he has the majority of a fawning press, the majority of a captive academia, and a record number of entitlement victims to lean on, assuming they don’t turn on him.
– But hes done. Whatever happens hes going to be the lamest lame duck in history, eclipsing even Jimmah.
– This is the 2nd time we’ve had to ward off the creeping Socialist menace. We better learn from that, and using the strong T-party kernel, use every approach we can going forward to re-establish opportunity as the flagship of our Republic or one of these times we won’t be able to withstand the attack.
– That means above all else, eliminating the allure of nannystatism, not just debating against it.
LBascom – fair enough, and I hope you are right. But I find it hard to believe that someone who rises to the leadership of an organization that is as cutthroat, wealthy, and powerful as the professional left would not be vetted and respected within that organization for the necessary skills to be effectively ruthless. I also find it hard to believe that with as much at stake – that he would be so uninterested in succeeding that he would not even bother to prepare.
Perhaps the left has allowed itself to be swindled and exposed by a lazy, sophomoric, and stunted individual – but I think they are more aware of how to push the right’s buttons that we would like to admit. I’m not sure they even care about winning a debate or an argument. So much of what they say in public is illogical that it is hard to believe they take it seriously. Despite how many idiot college students and other useful idiots you may hear from, the leadership is not unintelligent – just evil.
Now if I were to really indulge my pessimism I would say that the time is soon approaching when the left will find it no longer useful to play games and openly challenge the right to put up or shut up (in terms of raw political power). If we loose this election, we will really need to confront the fact that it is our credibility that is in question. We can only continue to say that the natural inclination of the body politic is limited government for so long as the government remorselessly swallows more and more. We are much more under the thumb in almost every respect since the Reagan “Revolution.”
As it is, lets hope that a series of polls do not come out next week that show Obama still leading or the race tied. It will be much harder to rationally process now that “we” are so confident that Obama has been so obviously humiliated.
jrd, I know, it’s insane. No matter how you slice it.
I’ve always resisted the “good man in over his head” meme. I know the fucker is up to something.
I’m open to the “puppet of the Illuminati” one worlder conspiratorialists.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt another four years of Obama will be the end of the America we grew up in.
– But hes done. Whatever happens hes going to be the lamest lame duck in history, eclipsing even Jimmah.
Amen to that. I’m surprised the MSM hasn’t hurled yet with all the spinning they are doing. Meanwhile, Obama carries on dancing to the same tune in his head that Romney is some kind of Robber Baron who hates the sick and the poor and the middle class and old people. Oh and he’s a racist to boot.
I mean, c’mon. I think people are sick of this song and dance (see what I did there?) and know it’s time to quite fucking around and get back to work, straighten out our finances, get a budget proposal together that is realistic and bring home our troops before they are so exhausted that they aren’t any good to anyone.
Obama wants to crack wise and bullshit his way through another term. He may get another term (please God, don’t make it happen) but he won’t serve it out.
You guys are overlooking a lifetime of upper middle class white privilege, combined with affirmative action/racial preferences/minority seet asides.
The guy’s lazy because he’s special.
As well as conventional.
From an academic radical chic textbook marxism perspective.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt another four years of Obama will be the end of the America we grew up in.
– Until, and unless we reach the police state level of things, or spin off into all out revolution/insurrection, it can, and I believe, it will be, turn-able. The one word key, should Obama get a second bite at the American apple, whatever is left of it, is “Congress”.
He’s President of the United States because Hillary Clinton couldn’t keep her mouth shut, because Bill Clinton couldn’t keep his mouth shut, and because (credit where credit’s due) Axelrod organized a good ground game.
Running against the establishment however, is less effective when by virtue of your office, you embody the establishment.
Song and dance, leigh?
You’re as bad as Romney.
Ahhh, who we kidding BBH? It ain’t the America we grew up in already.
Remember when school lunches used to be a luxury? Before “luxury” was a dirty word?
Well, I do have three boys, Ernst.
– I wouldn’t know LB. I had to hustle in the corner pool hall across the street from the high school to eat.
– Not to seem contrary, but the worlds of the tiny town I was born in, and the big city I grew up in, and even parts of the city, were so different they might as well have been on different planets, so I’m not really sure which “America” you’re referring too. But yes, this thing we live in today is alien by any standards.
Does seem a bit contrary actually. You don’t see a difference in “America” now compared to the “America” of your youth?
Here. lemme help. Instead of “I had to hustle in the corner pool hall across the street from the high school to eat”, you got “I have three social workers dictating my life”.
Feel like you missed out?
But yes, this thing we live in today is alien by any standards.”
– Feel free to interpret as you see fit.
Here in this thing we call California, illegal alien is the standard…
– The pathway to pleasure Island is paved with self-serving catch phrases that pass for standards.
– But, as Groucho used to say; “I have my standards…..if you don’t like them I have others.”
Obama missed his calling. He should have been a news anchorman.
George Stephanopoulos should have done smartphone commercials for Android.
“Romney may well lose or win and also turn out to be less than adequate, but it’s a chance I’m ready to take.”
I bet Romney’ll have an actual foreign policy instead of a lame delusional presumptions that Bush was the source of all our problems abroad, or that unilaterally going down to 300 nuclear weapons will reduce tensions in the world.
jrd illustrates a most interesting dynamic of the political left, namely, the contempt in which they hold the heart of the American principle of self-governance, which contempt is seated directly in those simple folk who vote the political left into power. “They vote for us!”, we can see the left say, “Such fools, they doom themselves!” And in its own way, this is a kind of proof of concept.
Speaking of the revolution, Arizona has Prop 120 on the ballot. It would amend the AZ constitution to grant the state “exclusive control over air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within the state’s boundaries”.
So a giant “sod off” to the EPA, Dept. of the Interior, etc. Can’t say as I’m agin’ it.
But I find it hard to believe that someone who rises to the leadership of an organization that is as cutthroat, wealthy, and powerful as the professional left would not be vetted and respected within that organization for the necessary skills to be effectively ruthless.
Here’s where we part ways: where you see the leader of a cutthroat organization, I see a useful puppet of a cutthroat organization. Obama didn’t get where he is because he’s ruthless and cunning; he got where he is because he’s useful and compliant.
I’ll never say he’s a Good Man, because he goes out of his way to prove otherwise every day. I will say he’s an Empty Suit, because he has never shown any aptitude for the position in which History’s Greatest Marketing Con placed him.
