funniest tweet ever

If you lower the balloon tax, the boy will come back down willingly. To create jobs where he lands.

"the biggest tent of all is the tent of freedom"

Thank you Jim Demint R-S.C.  But, I imagine the tent in Rahm Emanuels pants is probably pretty big too, after watching the republic party purge itself of all sanity.

This is your rump republic party...ctd

Alen Specter switches parties. And there was much rejoicing.  How do wingnuts react: exhibit A- Jim DeMint R-S.C.  

 

“I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs"

Well, Jimmy my boy, for once I couldn't agree with you more.  And with any luck by 2012 you will have your wish.

You have to admire the tenacity of the wingnuts, even as you gasp at their stupidity.  

update:  The 21 percenters sound off.

teh torture is awesome

Fox News says so.

the logic of tea baggin

Obama is a fascist,"Because he is!"  I wish these people would leave, my whole adult life has been listening to the victimized, angry white men who have no understanding of politics or history.  It is time for the trashbin of history to come claim it's next victims. 

Update: I guess the teabaggin movement has given new meaning to the word wingnut?

atlas shat upon

'nuff said.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I'm pretty sure this IS what Jesus would do...

Kosher salt for Jesus freaks.

this is your rump republic party: Glen Beck edition

I bet you didn't know that frustrated conservatives HAVE to kill people because they are oppressed by political correctness.  Glen Beck says so!

These people are insane. Why are they on the teevee?

facts are shameful things

Ari Fleischer calls Chris matthews shameful for pointing out the fact that Bush was President on 9/11.  These people are insane.  Why are they on the teevee?

they really are the same thing

Gay marriage and robot marriage.  I'm sure Yglesias will be all over this.

please don't

do this.

"I said it before and I’ll say it again - fence off Utah, put all the fundies in there, and let them stone all the sinners they want. "

I understand the desire but certainly the fundies would be happier in Alabama.

the party of do nothing

I hope the leaders of the rump republic party take Malkin's advice.

Since when did it become the Republican Party's top priority to "get things done"? It was as annoying a campaign platitude when John McCain adopted it as it is now coming from Obama's lips.(h/t instaputz)

Please fellas listen to her. She knows what she is taliking about, remeber it was her ilk that turned y'all into a five state party.  So feel free to continue to follow the advice of morons and their corny ass followers.  Watching the wingnuts eat themselves for the next couple of deceades is going to be fun.

palin's stupid really buuurrrns

When the media criticizes her it violates her First Amendment rights.  Is this silly trollop for real?

Read for yourself.

"If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations," Palin told host Chris Plante, "then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media."

Can't make this shit up.  Please vote against this crazy like a dumbass wingnut.  Seriously.... I got nothin'.

the dementia of hugh hewitt

If he believes this he is in for a long, lonely eight years(at least.)

McCain is back in "bitter" "redneck" "racist" PA today, signaling as does Pelosi's comments that there's a great deal going on in the lectorate that is off the MSM's screen (or on it but ignored in the effort to drag a faltering Obama over the finish line.)

Really, Hugh can I have some that weed cause you are bogartin' and I don't think it is good for you.

(Remember to vote!)

not so deep thought

Do the wingnuts know what socialism means?

UPDATE
This dude clearly doesn't.



"Beyond socialism." WTF does that mean?

Glenn Beck wants everyone to have pie!!! And A PONY.


UPDATE II
From Wiki.
"Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating social or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society."

That is exactly Obama's plan isn't it?

mcsame goes mcnasty...

see Sarah Palin pictures

mcsame goes negative...but we all knew that was coming. Negative is all he has left. Except this kind of adulation and cult of personality, wingnutty nonsense from Rich Lowry that you might have missed.

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.

Wow! I mean WOW!!!

america the blindfolded

It has always amazed me that in Israel it is possible to criticize Israeli policy in the occupied territories, but in America you are considered an anti-semite or terrorist if you do. This column

by Gideon Levy in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz is further proof of this strange phnomenon.  It is worth quoting at length.

This was a routine year, another year of the occupation of which no end is in sight. From Rosh Hashana 5768 to Rosh Hashana 5769 our forces killed 584 Palestinians, 95 of them minors. Many fewer than in 2002, when 989 were killed; many more than in 2005, with 190 killed. Eighteen Israelis were also killed in the past year, many more than in the previous year, when just five were killed, and much less than in 2002, when 184 Israelis were killed. All in all, an average year for bloodshed. 

All of this was observed by Israeli society with eyes covered. Even the nearly 60 Palestinians who were killed on one black summer day in Gaza barely earned a mention in the newspapers. With eyes covered, Israeli society continued to look at the routine of the occupation, the mothers in labor who lost their babies at checkpoints, the farmers victimized by lawless settlers, the night raids, the unemployment, the poverty and the hope that died long ago. 

This could never be published in America outside the most lefty publication.  The suggestion that the United States and Israel have different interests is met with approbation and accusations of Jew hating.
