Okay, this isn’t just crazy anymore, it’s getting dangerous, and someone from the McCain douche squad needs to do something. Issue a statement, a press release, something. People actually believe that Barack Obama, a guy who’s running for the office of the President of United States of America, is a terrorist?
People have shouted terrorist, uppity negro, kill, bring me his head, commie faggot at both McCain and Plain rallies. Not once did either candidate condemn those statements. In fact in one incident McCain This is the kind of hate mongering that gets people killed.
Let me explain something about hate: People hate Bush and people hate Obama. The type of people who hate Bush get frustrated and suck down tofu smoothies. The type of people who hate Obama carry assault rifles and wear white hoods. These are not reasonable, intelligent people they’re inciting and to let this continue is taking a huge risk.
I’m convinced that if anything were to happen as a result of this we’d see riots like we’ve never seen before.
The McCain campaign is playing with dangerous emotions and only they can put a stop to this.
Even John Weaver, McCain’s former strategist, called it a moral and tactical mistake.
Here’s just a small sample of what’s going on:

Sooner or later people are going to figure out that if all you run is negative attack ads you don’t have much of a vision for the future, or you’re not ready to articulate it.
You know who said that? John McCain said that. He said that in 2000 when he was running against Bush and being accused of having fathered illegitimate black children, among other things. Now, I guess it’s all water under the bridge. A bridge too nowhere.
Now he’s calling his opponent a terrorist and letting people yell “kill” at his rallies? He’s running ads that call Obama dangerous and dishonorable? He’s selling out … God damn it!
I liked the McCain 2000 model. I didn’t like all of what it said and stood for, but I liked the way it said it. I liked the Straight Talk Express, that he called a kid a “little punk,” that he made witty and sarcastic remarks on Letterman and Jon Stewart. That he seemed (an important distinction) like a reasonable guy with a decent sense of humor.
The McCain 2008 is morally bankrupt and vicious. He’s lost the respect he had for the American people. I do believe that he once thought of the people of this country as able to think for themselves and see through the garbage that he himself is now tossing our way. It’s sad to see a man who once had a vision and passion resort to the underhanded tricks we’ve come to expect. It’s sad we weren’t wrong in expecting them.
I had hoped, when it came down to these two, that we’d finally see real conversation. Somehow I was naive enough to believe that there was a chance that we’d be offered plans that could stand on their own; hear debates that covered topics we cared about; and finally have questions answered honestly and directly. Not bullshit that we’d have to wait days until someone deciphered what was really meant and who was telling the truth.
They’re both capable of clean honest campaigns. They’re both experienced, articulate, intelligent guys who obviously made it far enough to be able to do something unbelievable.That we’re being inundated with smears, lies, and blatant attacks laced with slander is causing me physical pain.
I had bigger hopes for this election.

Shucks
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
Sarah Palin is treated so unfairly. The press is using “Gotcha” tactics - they know the difference between tactics and strategies. She makes idiotic comments about Obama “palling” around with terrorists and misquotes coffee cups. Starbucks elitist coffee no less. Then insinuates that the press is going to blast her.
Oh, the press is so unfair, mercy me, and shucks. I wish they would stop asking me those “Gotcha” questions.
This is coming from a woman, erm candidate, that won’t answer questions that are asked. Whose entire campaign thus far has been nothing but talking points and whose only tactic (or strategy) is to lie about her opposition.

Let the sleaze begin

Since we’re in the final 30 days (yep, just 29 days to go) the sleaze and ooze should be upon us by now. McCain’s got to have to some rancid propaganda in his colostomy bag, just ready for release.
Palin’s already started with her comment that Obama’s palling around with terrorists.
Oooooo, and this clip she tells everyone that she read the NY Times.
Did ya hear that? “… he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.”
Note that the terrorist she’s referring to is Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. The group took credit for bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol four decades ago - got it? Four decades ago - how old is Obama?.
Obama served on a charity board with Ayers in Chicago and has denounced his past activities. Case closed!!!
But who checks this shit. Tune in next week when Palin accuses Obama of rape and shows everyone her black baby.

Home Sweet Homeland

On July 17, at around 6:00 PM, I was driving home from work, listening to the news on the radio, when the announcement from the National Intelligence Council came through the car speakers with, “The Terrorist Threat to the US Homeland” report.
It was like the thud you hear from the shower. You’re pretty sure it was the soap or a shampoo bottle, but you have to be sure it wasn’t a skull bouncing off the bathtub floor. I turned the volume up and the thuds kept coming
The main threat comes from Islamic terrorist groups and cells, especially al-
Qa’ida, driven by their undiminished intent to attack the Homeland…
There it is!!!
We assess that al-Qa’ida will continue to enhance its capabilities to attack the Homeland…
There it is again!!!
They said Homeland. When did that happen? And with a capital H. Not, “We need to protect our homeland,” or “Our homeland is in danger.” The friggin’ Homeland.
If you’re like me and live in a state of existential angst and a constant feeling of impending doom, constantly hearing that we’re in imminent danger is bad enough. But Homeland? Holy shit. The report mentions it 11 times in six pages.
The report, that undoubtedly took extensive research, man hours and expenditures (that’s time and money) and will be filed under No Shit, determined this: There are people in this world who don’t like us and they want to kill us.
This transcript was picked up from a van outside the White House:
DCrules: George?
DCrules: George ru there?
DeciderBoi: use my alien
DCrules: your alias.
DeciderBoi: don’t cus @ me I’m impotent
DCrules: no, it’s ALIAS not ALIEN.
DeciderBoi: I’m not going to say it again. Jesus I hate these gameboys
DCrules: blackberry.
DeciderBoi: don’t like em never did, mom used to make those ss guys take the seed outs
DCrules: where are u?
DeciderBoi: cruising the internets and surfin the blogesphere
DCrules: we have a brief in 10.
DeciderBoi: time for the veto awesome
DCrules: no the name.
DeciderBoi: k
DeciderBoi; didja tell em bout bushopolis, for my dad?
DCrules: we discussed this.
DeciderBoi: for my dad tho, ya know my father’s land?
DCrules: we’re going with Homeland.
DeciderBoi: right its got home and land in it. This is my home and its land. I like it
DeciderBoi: what about that peggy noonan beatch? She didn’t like it
DCrules: don’t worry about her.
DCRULES: it’s done we’re using it today. It’s in the report 11 times they won’t even see ti coming
DeciderBoi: awesome is it long?
DCrules: 6 pages it’s on your ipod.
So there you have it.
Peggy Noonan, mentioned in the conversation is a speechwriter and Republican consultant who expressed her concern about the use of the word Homeland, in Homeland Security. “The name Homeland Security grates on a lot of people, understandably. Homeland isn’t really an American word, it’s not something we used to say or say now,” she wrote in a column.
That sounds a bit anti-homeland to me. Homeland sounds safe. Like Fatherland. Who would Homeland grate on? Maybe Noonan is against safety and comfort. Maybe she has something against The Homeland.
You can read the actual report here.
