Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Silky Pony booed at washed-up singer’s concert

The Breck Girl was apparently not a sight for sore eyes.  Well, except for John Cougar Menstrualcramp’s eyes, I suppose.  Anywho, the story:

The band members left the stage at the conclusion of song number four. Mellencamp grabbed an accoustic guitar and started talking with the crowd. He talked about how “his generation” had failed in doing many of the things they’d set out to do — like legalizing marijuana. Mellencamp then told the crowd the last time he’d smoked was in 1972. Mellencamp next asked the crowd about “The Golden Rule” and after he said, “Do unto others,” the crowd responded with the rest of it. Mellencamp, standing alone on stage with his guitar, then launched into Tough It Out and Be the Best You Can followed by Jesus Can You Give Me a Ride Back Home? and another song about youth and love. The crowd erupted as he started Small Town and sang the lyrics as though Wells Fargo Arena were one of those sing-along piano bars.

It’s at this point Mellencamp gestures and John Edwards walks on stage. After a few cheers boos overtake the hall. “I’ve been in your small towns,” Edwards said as Mellencamp stepped aside to give Edwards a place behind the microphone. “…You didn’t come here to listen to me,” Edwards continues as he winds down with a “thank you,” waves and walks to the darkened edge of the stage.

The crowd is mostly booing at this point. “I came for a concert,” one man behind me yelled. “Refund. Refund,” another chanted a few rows back. One person in the crowd made this observation: “Are they booing Edwards specifically or booing because they don’t like politics?” Mellencamp tells the crowd he’s “had a lot of fun with that guy,” and begins playing his guitar and singing Small Town again. The crowd slowly begins to sing along again. Edwards stood on the darkened edge of the stage until the song was over, then exited. Mellencamp didn’t say anything at the song’s end, and there was a swell of chatter among the audience members. 

As Laura Ingraham would say, “Shut up and sing!”

Kos kooks: Rahm’s a racist

Who’s up for some hot blue-on-blue action?  From Dan Riehl:

Kos: Is Rahm Emanuel A Racist?

Yep! Just one big happy political party destined to run the table over there (link removed, as I tend not to link to moonbats where possible. You’re welcome, in advance! – Ed.). With things in Iraq getting better, it’s more difficult to bash Bush. Maybe they’ve resorted to eating their own. As regards the Netroots greater influence, I’ve yet to see convincing evidence that most of America responds to the type of negative emotions associated with so much of their posturing.

Is Rahm racist, or merely scared?

It’s got to be one or the other, because Rahm Emanuel is behind efforts to build Democratic support for the Shuler/Tancredo “enforcement-only” bill currently winding its way through the House.

Think about it — our House leadership is strong-arming Democrats into backing a bill which is the central agenda of the biggest racist xenophobe

So the slapnuts over there at Tinfoil HQ are saying that the 77% of Americans who are persuading Rahm Emmanuel to see the light on the criminal alien issue are racist, too?  Seriously, 3/4 of the nation is racist?  Boy, now that seems like a sound vote-getting strategy!

Clinton aides plant question in Iowa campaign stop

Shrillary’s boys planted some questions in the crowd of an Iowan campaign stop.  I suppose it’s so she doesn’t have another Tim Russert moment.  Anywho, she catches hell for it and promises it won’t happen again.

Except it does happen again.  I guess it all depends on the meaning of the word “again”, right?
