Casual Musings on Sarah Palin’s “Notes”


Over the weekend, the Tea Party held a convention with guest speaker Sarah Palin. We all know about Palin’s “hand notes”, but before I get into that lemme just remind you: the Tea Baggers held their summit at the Gaylord Opryland. I’m not saying anything. I’m just saying. Moving along…

Glenn Beck on Clinton & McCain | D.I.T.H.


Hate is a strong word. The only positive thing that Glenn Beck provides to me -- aside from constant laughs -- is a discipline to refrain from hating people in my own personal life. After all, how can I "hate" someone as much as (or more than) Glenn Beck? Can't be done. You see, Beck's message is one of love and tolerance.

I'm kidding of course. But watching this preview clip of Katie Couric's interview with Glenn Beck got me thinking: what's he really all about? In psychology, we're taught to delve deep into the mind - often times that of the disordered - to analyze what's truly below the "tip of the iceberg", segmenting from the conscious to the sub-conscious or hidden. I picked up on a few cues from the interview, interpretting and translating them to reveal Beck's true colors. To some, this is "dog-whistle politics"; to others, psychoanalysis; maybe it's just some plain 'ol fuckery. At the end of the day, it's probably all true - and that's what's so horrific about it. Check out my evaluation of Glenn Beck below for a new series I'd like to call, Diggin' in the Hate:
Quote: I think I would have much preferred [Hillary Clinton] as president, and may have voted for her against John McCain.
What he really means to say is: It's been difficult to have to defend the Bush administration for eight years. Defending John McCain would have been just as arduous and I don't like to be on the losing side. The prospect of deriding the Clinton family once again would have given me sheer joy and would have provided greater ratings potential for myself and my network.
Quote: I think John McCain is a weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was.
What he really means to say is: John McCain is practically a communist compared to me. How can he call himself a Republican? I hate moderate Republicans with a passion. I wish my party consisted of the clones of Sarah Palin and exhumed Ronald Reagan zombies.
Quote: I think John McCain -- ha, how 'bout this -- I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama. How's that?
What he really means to say is: Did I say "worse for the country"? I meant "worse for my ratings"! With Barack Obama in office, I can put my mental derangement on display to the world by pulling out a blackboard and connecting all of my self-fabricated dots, tying the president to abhorrent people and groups like ACORN, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, Jesse Sharpton, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Jay-Z, Leon Trotsky, Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, the Detroit Lions, Osama Bin Laden, Woodstock '99, Pol Pot, every African American ever, bald eagles, the 9/11 families and Hurricane Katrina victims - like I said before, I hate black people. With John McCain as president, I wouldn't have had this great ego-stroking opportunity! They say that with Bush out of office, comedians have little to fall back on; but I've got plenty of material! Stay tuned tonight, when I'll be refuting the Brown v. Board decision and organizing a lynch mob. The South shall rise up free!

Aubrey O’Day > Pat Buchanan | Politics as Usual


^ HAWT ^

A few days ago, a friend put me on to this video of Aubrey O’Day allegedly “praising” Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler. My first reaction was “who the fuck is Aubrey O’Day?” A quick Google search – and a not-so-quick Playboy search – led me to the answer. Anyways, here’s the video of Ms. O’Day discussing Castro and Hitler:


Now as you know, I’m a supporter of Castro. He banished a corrupt government from his homeland and effectively spit in the face of imperialism. And he’s still on his A-game! Rightfully so, O’Day – who I was surprised to learn had met with and “worked with” Castro – called him an “incredibly brilliant man”. Leave it to Sean Hannity, the master of straw-man arguments, to throw out the name Adolf Hitler to try to A) equate him with Castro, and B) trip up Aubrey. Now obviously I – especially being a Heeb – can’t “defend” Hitler. But I will admit that he was a clever man. And O’Day retorted by saying something to the same effect. Facts is facts, but it’s still not a good PR look. The right-wing can have their laughs, but at the end of the day, Aubrey O’Day said something she didn’t need to say and… something that turned out to be true, as provocative and uncomfortable as it may be.

Now along comes Pat Buchanan, a man who has often been criticized for his racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric – even back to the days when he worked for Richard Nixon! (Oddly enough, a great number of the Floridians who fucked up on the 2000 election’s “butterfly ballots” were elderly Jews). Unrelated to O’Day’s Fox News appearance, Buchanan pens an article essentially defending Adolf Hitler and insisting that the Nazi leader never planned on instigating World War II. This is offensive on so many levels it’s incomprehensible.

Buchanan begins the article with this historical image: “On Sept. 1, 1939, 70 years ago, the German Army crossed the Polish frontier.” Germany invades Poland, got that? Now check out this sentence that appears at the end of the essay: “Hitler had never wanted war with Poland, but an alliance with Poland such as he had with Francisco Franco’s Spain, Mussolini’s Italy, Miklos Horthy’s Hungary and Father Jozef Tiso’s Slovakia.” Huh? You just said he invaded Poland.

Another point that pissed me off about this piece – aside from the macro-view of the paper’s thesis – is this little tidbit which directly follows the first aforementioned quote: “Six years later, 50 million Christians and Jews had perished.” Now why did he do that? Why did he lump Christians and Jews together in this sentence? He did it to devalue the loss of the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust. His underlying argument is basically that 44 million, over seven-fold the number of Jews who died, is a much more important statistic. That may be so if we’re strictly focusing on the numeric value of these atrocities. But let’s remember that Jews are a tiny, tiny portion within European/Christian society. By ratio, the Jews clearly suffered the greatest loss of all. Here's the proof: in 1939, there were roughly 17 million Jews total in the world. That means that Adolf Hitler was responsible for the deaths of one third of the Jewish population in the world!!!!! And let’s remember how the Jews died: in ovens, gassed to death, through forced labor, with minuscule food and medicine rations; and the one that horrifies me the most: on operating tables at the hands of “surgeons” performing grotesque medical experiments sans anesthesia.

Look: I’m not one of those Heebs who “plays the Holocaust card”. But I do know an anti-Semite when I see, hear or read from one; and the fact that MSNBC keeps this Nazi apologist on their payroll is appalling. In light of Buchanan’s brief display of candor and his true colors, I’d suggest that MSNBC reconsider their options and replace him with Aubrey O’Day. I’d probably glean more rational ideas from Aubrey anyways; that, and she can gitit!

Conservative Fucktard to Israeli Jew: "Heil Hitler"


It's become an oddity to hear an Israeli talk politics that I agree with. As he admits, this Israeli man is not extolling pro-Obama or anti-Obama sentiments. He's just dropping knowledge on the benefits of the national health care system in Israel. Even better, I thought, was his comment that we in America celebrate our veterans on Memorial Day by offering cheaper prices on mattresses whereas in Israel they really honor their vets. And then it gets all fucked up when a crazy conservative bag lady -- ironically wearing an IDF (Israeli Defense Force) t-shirt -- starts screaming to the guy "Heil Hitler". Unbelievable. A pro-Israeli anti-Semite! I know I told you being pro-Jewish and pro-Israel were two separate things, but damn...

The Wicked Witch of the Midwest | Politics as Usual


First and foremost: her eyes scare the shit out of me. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, let me try to describe to you the maniac that is Michele Bachmann. During last year’s presidential election, she made headlines over her stinging remarks against Barack Obama and his legitimacy. But most strikingly, she called for an “exposé” (how elitist!) on members of congress to determine who was patriotic and who wasn’t.

Pure lunacy.

She ended up winning her reelection in November – a feat that baffles me to this very day – and now she’s back and ready for more. The election of Barack Obama truly must have warped her already twisted mind. Her new beef is that she’s adamantly opposed to the census coming up in 2010 (completed once every decade); (I wonder if she'd be such a worry-wart if McCain had won). Taking “government, stay out of my life”-conservatism beyond the bounds of reason, Bachmann considers the upcoming census as a preparatory act to place people in “camps”. Her words: “That’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps. I’m not saying that’s what the administration is planning to do. But I am saying that private, personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up.” So she’s not sayin’ it. But, you know, she’s... sayin’ it.

As such, Bachmann has proposed that people ignore the census, and abstain from answering the questions. The problem is that this is a crime punishable by a fine of up to $5,000.

But that’s not the only problem – and by problem, I mean hilariously unexpected outcome – that Bachmann could be facing. The census provides the proper information to grant electoral votes to the states. Based on the population numbers and statistics, states are granted a certain number of electoral votes, critical to elections. Imagine if a huge chunk of Bachmann-following conservatives (are they even conservatives at this point) refuse to fill out the census. They’ll be grossly misrepresented. That’s a good thing… for… Democrats! Duh!

But that’s not all. Bachmann’s buffoonery knows no bounds. Her next claim is that the census does not ask its participants whether or not they are U.S. citizens. On Glenn Beck’s show she stated: “You know the question that's not on this survey, Glenn? ‘Are you a U.S. citizen?’ This would be your perfect opportunity to find out how many illegal aliens are in the United States.”

It’s time to do some research!

You see, I checked out the census – you know, just for kicks – and I discovered some important information that Bachmann must have glossed over, with those beady, glossy eyes of hers. The Table of Contents to the “2010 Decennial Census Program” is pretty straightforward. The third portion (section C) of the census notebook lays out the questions for the “American Community Survey”, with questions for “Basic Characteristics”, “Social Characteristics”, “Economic Characteristics”, “Physical Characteristics” and “Financial Characteristics”. Filed under “Social Characteristics”, there is a section which is titled “Place of Birth, Citizenship, and Year of Entry”. Hmm. Bachmann must have missed this one. Turning to page 18 of the notebook, I found the following the questions:

Question #7: Where was this person born?

Question #8: Is this person a citizen of the United States?

Question #9: When did this person come to live in the United States?

Now, let’s quote Bachmann once again: “You know the question that's not on this survey, Glenn? ‘Are you a U.S. citizen?’”

Let me also re-paste question #8 on the survey: Question #8: Is this person a citizen of the United States?

A little bit more research teaches us that questions #7 through #9 have been asked since the 1800's. Really.

“Are you a U.S. citizen?” Is this person a citizen of the United States?” Close enough for me. And all I had to do was press CTRL+F. When will conservatives ever learn?

David Shuster Is A Fucking Comedic Genius


Filling in for Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's David Shuster demolished the right-wing with enough hilariously immature double entendres to keep you from getting back on your chair after falling down, repeatedly. Check out these comedic gems:
It's gonna be 'Tea-Bagging Day' for the right-wing, and they are going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend, and while the parties are officially toothless, the tea-baggers are full-throated about their goals. They wanna give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending - spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan ... That's tea-bagging in a nutshell ... Then there is the media, specifically the FOX News Channel, including Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Both are looking forward to an up-close and personal taste of tea-bagging themselves at events this Wednesday.
Please, make it stop. Please. Ehhhh, okay, here's one more:
We can only speculate why widespread tea-bagging made [Neil] Cavuto think of the Million Man March. Unless he got them confused with Dick Armey. And in Cavuto's defense, if you are planning simultaneous tea-bagging all around the country, you're gonna need a... Dick Armey.
My hat's off to you, David, and the brilliant writing staff over at Countdown. Take a bow... but not too low!
