Reap the whirlwind

The cold-blooded assassination of abortion doctor George Tiller yesterday (as he stood in the lobby of his church) is an act of domestic terrorism, pure and simple.

Reading the gloating and celebration on crapweasel gathering places like FreeRepublic is literally sickening. Some are even celebrating the shooter, hoping he eludes police (too late), or offering to contribute to his defense fund.

Personally I think it’s time to expand our use of waterboarding and extra-Constitutional surveillance to the growing problem of domestic terrorism. A starting point might be waterboarding the Tiller suspect and all his close associates to see what they know about other planned terror acts in the “homeland.” Then maybe a massive investigation into every single “pro-life” group in the country – wiretaps, IRS audits, travel restrictions, FBI detainment. That’s a start, anyway.

Let’s see how they like it when these techniques are used on them and their families, instead of faceless brown people in secret prisons.

The simple truth

Aren’t we all just basking in this “new era” of Obama? Isn’t it great? Fantastic, right?

And yet, if Ann Coulter called President Obama a “nigger” on national TV, after a short period of blustering by the national media and a couple thousand more interviews for Ann, she would emerge even more popular than ever. It’s the truth. That’s been the trajectory of her career all along.

We Americans want to taste blood, and we don’t much care where we get it from.

Loathing

I feel revulsion toward all different kinds of crapweasel right-wingers. But I’ve come to realize that I have a special loathing for those, like “comic” Dennis Miller, who considered themselves liberals until the “wake-up call” of 9/11. This isn’t even about Miller in particular. It’s about all those weak-willed, weak-minded souls who decided on 9/11 that it was OK (not only OK, but productive and correct) to hate Muslims and the poor and union members and anyone else who might threaten the already fake version of their lives they had built in their heads.

Millions of bullies were created on 9/11. And the fact that they had to live through the same harrowing events and images as the rest of us doesn’t excuse them.

Wisdom from FreeRepublic

“How did they take over VT? They moved there. They voted. They outnumbered the natives. I bet a lot of them are teachers. One thing—Most of them do not have kids, so they ruin yours. Who is having a lot of children? Latinos and Muslims. Take your pick America. That is the result of Choice. There should be no choice and we all know it.”

Using a sledgehammer to pound in a nail

Bush dead-enders like Dean Esmay are glowing about the just-for-another-month-or-so President’s “victory tour” of his great “success,” Iraq. Which is sort of like throwing a party for the exterminator you called to get rid of your termites who proceeded to burn down your house.

Termite problem? Fixed. Yay!

Oh, and you didn’t really call him. He just showed up, in the middle of the night, while you were sleeping, and poured kerosene on your house’s foundation and lit a match. Still, those termite bastards are dead, right? (Oh, and he’s not exactly an exterminator. He just loves looking at pictures of bugs, and imagining how they will die.)

Also, Dean – using “Mission Accomplished” as the post title – really? Really?

The next generation…

…of xenophobic, grasping, snide selfish bastards:

So, last weekend, in a beautiful town in rural Vermont, my 10 year old, Sarah, looked at a purple painted house festooned with peace signs, and said — “Look. Obama voters.” We had seen plenty of Obama lawn signs — and an equal number of McCain ones as it happens — but this house didn’t have one. “How do you know they’re Obama voters,” I asked. (Not that I doubted it. I just wanted to understand how she made the connection.) She rolled her baby blues at me and said, “Mom. A peace sign. What do you think?” So I asked, “What sign would tell you that people are McCain voters?” Sarah and her 9 year old sister simultaneously and without hesitating said, “An American flag.”

God, I loathe these people.

Crushed

After weeks and months of the worst and most unrepentantly evil culture war fucktardery I have ever seen (Muslim, terrorist, Communist, homo agenda, godless, traitor, nigger, Sammy Davis Jr., watermelon and fried chicken, voter fraud, baby killer, turban, white flag of surrender, small town values, gay weddings, Osama-Obama, Hussein, kill whitey, halfrican-american, sex ed for kindergarteners, community organizer, you betcha, elitist, that one, lipstick on a pig, Joe Not The Plumber, birth certificate, Wright, Ayers, ACORN), I admit that I’ve had fucking enough.

I don’t want them to lose. I want them to be crushed. I want them to be humiliated. I want them to be dragged through the streets. I want them to be thrown in jail. I want them to be required by law to attend gay weddings of two hermaphrodite late-term abortion doctors. I want the idea of them winning an election in the remainder of their sad, sick lives to be a distant fantasy.

Personally, I don’t think I’m asking too much.

Stupid Part Deux

At a Palin/McCain rally in Ohio:

“Douche of the Week” Award

Ramesh Ponnuru, National Review Online’s The Corner:

I keep reading—most recently in an email Kathryn posted—that Palin is anti-intellectual. Now I can readily see that Palin is not an intellectual herself, as most people are not, and is not interested in the type of things that intellectuals are. But why do people say she is anti-intellectual? Has she given a speech belittling book-larnin’?

If these people had an ounce of self-awareness, they would be dangerous.
