Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Silky Pony defines charity as…his daughter and pol aide?

Silky Pone-Pone is doing whatever he can to keep his name in the press, regardless of how shameful or embarassing it might be. I guess he’s adopted the Ray Nagin school of thought: at least it keeps his brand out there. Anywho, from Michelle Malkin:

Ah, Silky Pony. He’s the gift that keeps on giving. According to Politico, naughty John Edwards wasn’t telling us the whole truth about where all his Dirty Filthy Fox News Funds for his coffee table book, “Home,” went:

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards recently defended taking a lucrative book contract from a publisher controlled by Rupert Murdoch — whose News Corp. empire Edwards has sharply criticized — by insisting that “every dime” of his $500,000 advance went to charity.

Left unmentioned by Edwards, however, was that Murdoch’s HarperCollins paid portions of a $300,000 expense budget for the book to Edwards’s daughter and to a senior political aide, Jonathan Prince.

Every dime, huh? (I guess it depends on the meaning of the word “every”…or is it “dime”? Dern, Eenglesh iz tuff! – Ed.)

“Every dime of the money they gave to me has gone to charity,” Edwards told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer earlier this month, suggesting News Corp. was trying to “silence” him because he opposes media consolidation. “This is a personal attack in response to me saying something that is not personal: I do not believe we should consolidate the media.”

His spokesman, Eric Schultz, said the charities include Habitat for Humanity and College for Everyone. Edwards did not mention the previously unreported fees to Prince and to Edwards’ daughter.

Convulsion. Of. Laughter. Thank you, silly, silly pony. We are so glad “they” will never silence you…

Now do you see why I said that we need for Silky to keep flapping his gums? I’d quit blogging about him, since he is highly unlikely to win the Dems’ nomination. But everytime he opens up that construction accident called his piehole, blogging goodness oozes.

Criminal aliens sue over feds’ raid

The nutjobification of the criminal alien apologists continues. From CT:

Two immigrant advocacy groups are suing the federal government over the recent New Haven raids, in which more than 30 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested.


Junta for Progressive Action and Unidad Latina en Accion filed suit Friday in U.S. District Court against the Department of Homeland Security.


They want that agency to release records on how its Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents coordinated the raids which happened back in June.

City leaders and the immigrant-rights groups have questioned whether it was retaliation for New Haven’s new ID card program. Federal officials have said the sweeps were planned weeks in advance. They say it had no connection to the new ID program, which is open to all New Haven residents including illegal immigrants.

Both groups have also raised money to help free the detainees on bond.

Criminal aliens are suing because…they got caught? Friggin’ brilliant.

Abscam Jack not happy about Haditha charges being dropped

Check this out from Hot Air (including audio of Abscam Jack’s office hanging up when asked about the Haditha Marines):

When he wasn’t busy over the past year or so arguing that we ought to fight al Qaeda in Iraq from our bases in Okinawa and Diego Garcia, Rep. Jack “Abscam” Murtha has been busy stuffing his face with pork, behaving questionably over appropriations and smearing US Marines. Now that three of the Marines Murtha prejudged to be guilty of cold-blooded murder have been cleared of all charges, Murtha ought to answer for what he has been saying about them.

Today, I called up his office in DC to see if he was planning on issuing any statements. For some reason, his staff is less than forthcoming on that point.

Put that in your pork-filled bong and smoke it, Jack!

Murtha and Kerry smear troops

Dems: We’re sticking around Iraq for years

Whoa! This is not what the nutroots wanted to hear, is it? From the Old Gray Hag:

Even as they call for an end to the war and pledge to bring the troops home, the Democratic presidential candidates are setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years.

John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, would keep troops in the region to intervene in an Iraqi genocide and be prepared for military action if violence spills into other countries. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York would leave residual forces to fight terrorism and to stabilize the Kurdish region in the north. And Senator Barack Obama of Illinois would leave a military presence of as-yet unspecified size in Iraq to provide security for American personnel, fight terrorism and train Iraqis.

These positions and those of some rivals suggest that the Democratic bumper-sticker message of a quick end to the conflict — however much it appeals to primary voters — oversimplifies the problems likely to be inherited by the next commander in chief. Antiwar advocates have raised little challenge to such positions by Democrats.
…
Most of the Democratic candidates mention the significant military and logistical difficulties in bringing out American troops, which even optimistic experts say would take at least a year. The candidates are not only trying to retain flexibility for themselves in the event they become president, aides said, but are also hoping to tamp down any expectation that the war would abruptly end if they were elected. Most have not proposed specific troop levels or particular rules of engagement for a continued presence in Iraq, saying the conditions more than a year from now remain too uncertain.

In political terms, their strategies are a balancing act. In her public appearances, Mrs. Clinton often says, “If this president does not end this war before he leaves office, when I am president, I will.” But she has affirmed in recent months remarks she made to The New York Times in March, when she said that there were “remaining vital national security interests in Iraq” that would require a continuing deployment of American troops. The United States’ security, she said then, would be undermined if part of Iraq turned into a failed state” that serves as a Petri dish for insurgents and Al Qaeda.”

They’re not exactly sounding the way they did last year when campaigning for Congress, are they? Republicans told the electorate that we couldn’t just up and leave Iraq, but the Dems says “Yes, we can, and if you vote for us, we will!” Disingenuous or grossly and dangerously naive? You be the judge.

Dems have now found out something that they should have known in the beginning: it’s much easier to sit around and b#tch about problems (like they’ve done for years) than to actually lead and solve them.

Evil genius leaving Bu$hCo

Throwing a bone to the moobats with my headline. Your welcome, in advance. Anywho, from WSJ:

Karl Rove, President Bush’s longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, he said in an interview with Paul Gigot, editor of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page.

Mr. Rove, who has held a senior post in the White House since President Bush took office in January 2001, told Mr. Gigot he first floated the idea of leaving a year ago. But he delayed his departure as, first, Democrats took Congress, and then as the White House tackled debates on immigration and Iraq, he said. He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president’s term in January 2009.

“I just think it’s time,” Mr. Rove said in the interview. “There’s always something that can keep you here, and as much as I’d like to be here, I’ve got to do this for the sake of my family.” Mr. Rove and his wife have a home in Ingram, Texas, and a son who attends college in nearby San Antonio.

In the interview, Mr. Rove said he expects Democrats to give the 2008 presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he described as “a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate.” He also said Republicans have “a very good chance” to hold onto the White House in next year’s elections. …

Naturally, the moobats’ conspiracy theories have begun. Warped minds never rest, ya know.
