Obama Evokes Fear, Calls for Courage
by Debra J. Saunders

As a candidate for president, Sen. Barack Obama rejected “the politics of fear.” Well, he won. So now he’s playing the fear card to the hilt.

He’s been taking the fear card from his scabbard and burying it in your back? Bastard. He produced a deck of playing cards and told you to pick a sword, any sword? “The jack of excaliburs, sir — was this it?”

He does he do that? It’s a mystery.

Monday, President Obama went to Strongsville, Ohio, to warn that unless his ObamaCare passes, middle Americans should be very afraid of the day when they (Fear No. 1) lose their job or income, then (Fear No. 2) fall seriously ill and then (Fear No. 3) receive the health care they need, but lose valued assets.

Obama’s intended prop was Natoma Canfield, a 50-year-old cleaning woman and cancer survivor who dropped her private health care policy after Anthem Blue Cross raised her premiums some 40 percent to $708 per month. In December, Canfield wrote to Obama telling him that she was going to drop her insurance rather than lose the home her parents built in 1958. Alas, Canfield could not attend, as she since was diagnosed with leukemia and was in the hospital Monday . .

YIKES.

The fear is not that if you are sick that you will be denied health care. Canfield is in a hospital, and according to Obama, “She expects to face a month or more of aggressive chemotherapy.”

And the fear is not irrational — as everyone knows that worst trifecta could befall many working Americans through no fault of their own.

. . hullo? Hellllloooooooo?

Premiums will go up if insurers have to cover more sick people. Costs will go up if the government subsidizes more Americans . .

And Americans are supposed to trust this bunch to curb costs? Buy me a T-shirt and call me stupid.

Fine. You’re welcome.

Hey Obama, Keep Your Hands Off My Fishing Pole
by Doug Giles

. . After a couple of years of getting settled in, weeding through the rip-off charters and bad captains, I landed on two Capitans who are worth their weight in gold. After the Lord blessed me with those two leads I quickly called my dad to get his butt on a plane to bend some rods South Florida style. And oh my God have we crushed the fish.

Not only has pops been a part of many insane hauls, but my wife and my two infamous daughters have, as well. Matter of fact, my girls grew up catching big game fish on light tackle twice their body length without daddy’s help. That’s how they roll, boys. Grow a pair or go home . .

What the hell is this about? This. Yes, it was all a mistake, the ‘ESPN Outdoors’ editor apologized and changed and appended the post. Still, the President deserves to get impeached or killed over it.

But as far as homoerotic Capitan-landing, pole-bending, ecstatic fish-crushing and cross-gender pre-pubescent hairy ball sack growth go, I have absolutely no idea.

Rush Limbaugh imagines government healthcare, pisses pants, goes to Costa Rica to get free healthcare

Filed under: flat out dumb, healthcare reform — Tags: costa rica, free healthcare, government, healthcare, healthcare bill, healthcare reform, leaving the country, obama, richard in naples, rush limbaugh — toma @ 3:48 pm

A caller wants to know: if the healthcare thing passes, how the hell will you ever see another doctor, Rush? They’ll all have the bubonic AIDS, dude.

Rush says “Don’t be silly, Richard, the doctors themselves won’t be any different. Besides, I make 40 million dollars a year, I can always hire my own top notch personal physician.”

I’m kidding, he says he’s leaving the country:

Dang: “The health care system in Costa Rica is subsidized by the State and offers low costs and high quality. If you become a citizen of Costa Rica you will be eligible for free health care as the Costa Rica Social Security System provides free medical services to all Costa Rican citizens . .”

The stupefying Obama/Muslim paranoia speaks for itself

Filed under: flat out dumb, muslin death charge, wingnuts — Tags: amalgam, campaign logo, islamic, logo, morph, muslim, obama, paranoia, sharia, star and crescent, U.S. missile defense agency, xenophobia — toma @ 6:05 am

The jig is up, Obama is a narcissist and a secret Muslim. Why? Because he seeks to remake logos of our government agencies to suit his own tastes, to look like amalgams of his beloved campaign logo and the Islamic star and crescent. Teh teh stupid:

US Missile Defense Agency Changes Logo to Obama~Islamic Crescent Hybrid!

I will never state that Obama is a Muslim, until I see him on his knees praying to Allah, but even if he is not the results would be basically the same. He is as pro-Islamic as they come and this symbol is a disgrace to America, as it is a hybrid of an Obama-Islamic crescent symbol. We are in serious trouble my friends!

Why would Obama do this? Is he completely obsessed with semiotics and propaganda? Does he want to punk the government by graffiti-ing it with Islamic symbols? Has he decided to change the whole of the United States and started with logos, patches and decals?

Who cares, Frank Gaffney is dumb:

Can This Possibly Be True? New Obama Missile Defense Logo Includes A Crescent
by Frank Gaffney

The Obama administration’s determined effort to reduce America’s missile defense capabilities initially seemed to be just standard Leftist fare — of a piece with the Democratic base’s visceral hostility to the idea of protecting us against ballistic missile threats. A just-unveiled symbolic action suggests, however, that something even more nefarious is afoot . .

Now, thanks to an astute observation by Christopher Logan of the Logans Warning blog, we have another possible explanation for behavior that — in the face of rapidly growing threats posed by North Korean, Iranian, Russian, Chinese and others’ ballistic missiles — can only be described as treacherous and malfeasant: Team Obama’s anti-anti-missile initiatives are not simply acts of unilateral disarmament of the sort to be expected from an Alinsky acolyte. They seem to fit an increasingly obvious and worrying pattern of official U.S. submission to Islam and the theo-political-legal program the latter’s authorities call Shariah.

How do you respond to something so fucking stupid? I can’t even begin. How can anyone have a dialogue with these lunatics?

Watch this space as we identify and consider various, ominous and far more clear-cut acts of submission to Shariah by President Obama and his team. Readers are encouraged to offer examples of their own to info@securefreedom.org.

Millions without jobs; 4 million lose job? Sound are strange. Maybe they lift big building. Clean volcano.

The unemployment rate is now at 9.7% and it doesn’t look like things will improve much any time soon.

Millions of unemployed Americans will face years without jobs. The New York Times reported:

Loudmouth democratic hater Alan Grayson traveled to Niger this week. While he was there a military coup broke out. Several members of the president’s guard were killed by the military and the democratic president was taken into custody. Grayson could hear the gunshots in the building next door.

Being a good democrat, he cut-and-run from the country.

Ah, he coward. Real man stay in Niger.

three: Conservatives are now criticizing Obama for killing terrorists, not detaining them?

Filed under: conservatives, obama, politics, terrorism, war on terrorism, weekend drive-by — Tags: al qaeda, capture, criticism, detain, detention policy, drone, drones, enhanced, kill, leaders, obama, operations, program, strike, taliban, terrorism, terrorists — toma @ 5:55 pm

Under Obama, more targeted killings than captures in counterterrorism efforts

. . Although senior administration officials say that no policy determination has been made to emphasize kills over captures, several factors appear to have tipped the balance in that direction. The Obama administration has authorized such attacks more frequently than the George W. Bush administration did in its final years, including in countries where U.S. ground operations are officially unwelcome or especially dangerous. Improvements in electronic surveillance and precision targeting have made killing from a distance much more of a sure thing. At the same time, options for where to keep U.S. captives have dwindled.

Republican critics, already scornful of limits placed on interrogation of the suspect in the Christmas Day bombing attempt, charge that the administration has been too reluctant to risk an international incident or a domestic lawsuit to capture senior terrorism figures alive and imprison them.

“Over a year after taking office, the administration has still failed to answer the hard questions about what to do if we have the opportunity to capture and detain a terrorist overseas, which has made our terror-fighters reluctant to capture and left our allies confused,” Sen. Christopher S. Bond (Mo.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said Friday.

Capturing terrorists has got to be a difficult, dangerous task. It risks our people and property, and it strains international relations.

They may pretend to believe it to be the ultimate weapon against the terrorists, but I’m not buying they’d be so forgiving upon the deaths or captures of our own during one of those dangerous operations. The Republicans would be howling screaming mad at Obama and the administration, and there’d be charges of stupidity, incompetence and recklessness flying all over the place.

Clearly, the technology and the capabilities of the drone programs have sharpened, and, with better intelligence, the anti-terrorist forces have extended ranges and strike capabilities. Why shouldn’t Obama put this all to good use?

Just because they’ve gotten a lot better at taking out terrorists doesn’t necessarily mean it’s any easier or less risky to capture them, does it?

Bush Official Criticizes Obama For Killing Too Many Terrorists

Just how unpopular are President Barack Obama’s anti-terrorism policies with his Republican critics? Even when he’s killing terrorists they find flaws . .

“Why have executions increased?” asked Viet Dinh, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and one of the authors of the USA Patriot Act. Citing a recent Washington Post article on the increased targeted killing of terrorists, Dinh complained that “the president and vice president expound this fact as a fact that they are actually successful in war.”

“That doesn’t mean I think they are not illegitimate,” he added. “No, we have every right to kill the other side’s warriors. But at what cost? When we do not have an effective detention policy the only option we have is to kill them before we can detain them. And if we don’t detain them, we don’t know what they know and what they are up to.”

The realities of detention are a bitch:
1.) Abduction.
2,) Transport.
3.) Incarceration.
4,) Interrogation.
5.) Production of intel.
6.) Assessment of intel.
7.) Action.
8.) Assessment of action.
9.) Assessment of source.
10.) Legal processing.
11.) International politicking and relations.
12.) Life-long housing.

Just how unpopular are President Barack Obama’s anti-terrorism policies with his Republican critics? Even when he’s killing terrorists they find flaws . .

I’m certainly no counter-terrorism expert, so I’m not embarrassed to admit I’m confused by this.

But here I go: If we knew pretty much everything about all the terrorists out there, wouldn’t we then . . kill them? Starting with the leaders, kill them all, wipe them out? Isn’t that the best possible realistic outcome for us in order to stop them cold?

– Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is dead, say officials

– Al-Qaeda leader killed in North Waziristan drone strike

– Son of feared Taliban leader killed by missile fired by American drone

This isn’t good enough?

This is one of the worst editorials the Washington Post has ever been mistaken to print. Richard Cohen is a middling dolt, but this particular missive is an emphatic admission of his marginal faculties and cowardice. Why either he or WaPo would invite the guaranteed scorn is a mystery.

Obama administration is tone-deaf to concerns about terrorism
By Richard Cohen
Tuesday, February 2, 2010

There is almost nothing the Obama administration does regarding terrorism that makes me feel safer.

Already, this is bullcrap– safer than what? This is a weak rhetorical tactic.

Whether it is guaranteeing captured terrorists that they will not be waterboarded, reciting terrorists their rights, or the legally meandering and confusing rule that some terrorists will be tried in military tribunals and some in civilian courts, what is missing is a firm recognition that what comes first is not the message sent to America’s critics but the message sent to Americans themselves. When, oh when, will this administration wake up?

And by “Americans themselves”, Richard means his quivering knees. He wants terrorists to be waterboarded, which is brutal, illegal and un-American. No, Richard.

He wants terrorists to be denied the rights that are unhappily guaranteed by the Constitution:

The principle that the Constitution applies not only to Americans, but also to foreigners, was hardly invented by the Court in 2008. To the contrary, the Supreme Court — all the way back in 1886 — explicitly held this to be the case, when, in Yick Wo v. Hopkins, it overturned the criminal conviction of a Chinese citizen living in California on the ground that the law in question violated his Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process and equal protection.

In case Cohen’s making some argument that he felt ’safer’ with the Bush Administration here, they ‘Mirandized’ Richard Reid, the shoe bomber. So, operating in violation of the Constitution? No, Richard.

And all this military/civilian court ‘madness’? Name the last ‘Global War on Terror’ criminal tried in civilian court that didn’t get convicted and isn’t currently sitting in a penitentiary. Your beloved stalwart hold-me-daddy Bush Administration tried and convicted Richard Reid in civilian court. So, civilian courts are weak and scary? No, Richard.

This is what passes for editorial material in the Washington Post?

. . . But the paramount civil liberty is a sense of security and this, sad to say, has eroded under Barack Obama.

A ’sense of security’ is the pre-eminent civil liberty? I’d like to see somebody try to sue for that. Richard Cohen is almost too stupid for comment.

Repeatedly, the administration has shown poor judgment. Abdulmutallab’s silence is a scream that something is wrong.

Underwear bomber talking again

You can stop shrieking now, Rich.

Sarah Palin aims ‘retarded’ politics at Rahm Emanuel

Filed under: palin ha-ha, phony, politics — Tags: accusations, apology, calls, chief of staff, down syndrome, facebook, firing, levi johnston, obama, rahm emanuel, retarded, sarah palin, special olympics, tea party convention, trig palin, white house — toma @ 6:01 am

Well, now you know another thing Governor Moosemeat will grandstand over at the Tea Party Convention:

I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic.

The Obama Administration’s Chief of Staff scolded participants, calling them, “F—ing retarded,” according to several participants, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

She’s not shy about brandishing her youngest, Down Syndrome afflicted child, is she?

RAHM ISSUED APOLOGY — BUT NOT TO DEMOCRATS

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called the head of the Special Olympics last week to apologize for using the expression “fucking retarded,” Politico’s Ben Smith reports.

“Rahm called Tim Shriver Wednesday to apologize and the apology was accepted,” an unnamed White House official said.

Shameful.

Sarah Palin, who called for Emanuel to apologize for using the word “retarded,” was herself accused of using the word last year. Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s daughter, told the media last fall that Palin described Trig, her son with Down Syndrome, as her “retarded baby.” Palin strongly denied ever using the expression.

Some blogs are just fucked up, like HillBuzz

That’s hillbuzz.org, jazz hands.

Someone a few thousand miles away called the main blogger there a racist and he or she responded by turning bullshit, posting the names and addresses of blameless people like the terrific Rumproast’s Kevin K..

HillBuzz has gone spiraling apeshit ever since, pulling in big wingnut traffic and donations by calling the few graffiti a wide-ranging and variably integrated Soros-Obama-DNC conspiracy. Yes, because a HillBuzz blogger isn’t wholly cerebral sunflower Cheeze-Whiz but a steely sniper of presidential power.

Anyway, aside from blogger ‘hillbuzz’ being a stupid fungal asshole, the site’s currently as funny as you will find.

Firstly, what the hell sort of hard right-wingers love Hillary Clinton? No, not kidding, that’s the ‘Hill’ in the name. Conservatives crazy for Hillary Clinton are HillBuzz.

Secondly, nothing and no one aren’t out to get them. The paranoia runs so deep that even the most innocuous comments get the Neo/Matrix treatment. It’d be overblown if it were satire:

“HB, may I ask why you like Hillary so much, and also Sarah. I know you started supporting Sarah as a protest against the nasty Obama people against Hillary. But now you sound like a loyal fan of Sarah.
Their politics are entirely different. Hillary wants public healthcare, Sarah not. Hillary for big(ger) government, Sarah not.
What areas of the democratic ideology that you gave up or will not relinquish? Hard to imagine you turning away only becuase of the base behaviors of the liberals, unless integrity trumps ideology. You said to vote them all out. No one on dem side worth saving because of personal integrity?
Just want to understand.
Thank you for helping our camp.
Take care.”

TROLL DISSECTION 101: How to break apart a concern troll’s posting like it’s made of astroturf and Legos

This is such a weird concern-troll comment, left on a thread tonight, that we just had to let the comment stand, instead of deleting it, to break it down for you and also ponder WHAT exactly is the intent of leaving something like this.

Here it is, in full, from a poster calling herself “Penny Long”:

[. . above . .]

This is such a great example of concern-trolling, we’re going to breakdown, line by line, what’s going on here. It’s so textbook David Axelrod, he might have even written it himself.

The post goes on for three thousand words. And when the bastard ‘Penny Long’ starts typing out insidious rhythms, hillbuzz gets it:

LINE THREE: But now you sound like a loyal fan of Sarah.

This line is strange because there’s no “now you sound” or “but” about this. We’ve always been a loyal fan of Sarah. Since before Day One, which for most of the rest of you was August 29th, 2008. See remarks above, we were on the Palin Express before the train tracks were even built.

This is CLASSIC concern-trolling, folks.

People who love music could help us with this analogy, we’re sure, but if you don’t focus on the words so much, but just get a sense of the beat in this question, there’s a certain rhythm to it, almost like a haiku.

Like this:

HB (gets your attention), two loud sounds, BOOM BOOM

May I ask you why you like Hillary so much: Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baba ba ba

and also Sarah: DA DA DADA.

Some more of the ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba beat.

Then: BOOM (But), DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DUM.

(But) BOOM
