Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

DNCC engulfs Obama in upside-down flag

When he’s not busy grabbing his crotch during the Pledge of Allegiance, Barry O can be seen looking like this:

Details:

The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama’s shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.

Oh, I get it now.  The flag isn’t really upside down!  It’s just “blowing in the wind” on a giant mirror and not blowing upside down.  Got it.  Thanks for the clarification.  More:

Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night: “The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display.”

Yeah, that whole “blue field with white stars, as well as the red and white stripes” thingy doesn’t look a thing like the American flag.  Don’t believe your lying eyes.  Whatever you say, Baghdad Bob. 

You’d think that with so many leftists at the DNCC, they’ve burned enough American flags over their lives to know what one looks like.  Exit question: do you think that maybe The One was confused since there were only 50 stars in the blue field instead of 57?

If you have not yet done so, feel free to go ahead and question their patriotism.

Yours truly gets linked from the UK Guardian

Check it out, friends…I got linked from the British rag The Guardian:

But it is lines like “we gotta kill him” and “F##k making fun of you in punch lines / I’d rather kill your family in front of you by lunch time” that have outraged the right-wing blogosphere.

Another right-wing blowhard Michelle Malkin, who also receives death threats in the song, responded: “Don’t they have anything better to do? Rides to pimp? Ho’s to diss? Bling to steal?” 

How cool is it that the first “right-wing blogosphere” example they site isn’t LGF, Powerline, Hot Air, Ace, or Michelle Malkin (she’s the “right-wing blowhard” that the writer so objectively described)…but l’il ol’ me?  By the way, Jenn gets an honorable mention, too (see “takeastandagainstliberals”)!

By the way:  Welcome, my European visitors!  Feel free to look around my humble abode.  If you like what you see, then I thank you.  If you don’t, then an even bigger “Thank you!”  :lol:

More “Obama as Messiah” rhetoric

Once upon a time, Crush Liberalism had a troll who eventually was banished for implying racism on the guests here (after being warned) without basis.  Said troll didn’t buy this “Obamessiah” phenomenon, writing it off as a myth.  Despite several examples, said troll ignored the facts.

Well, this is yet another inconvenient truth that contributes to the accurate “Obamessiah” meme…and this one’s from Madame Speaker, San Fran Nan:

He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him “a leader that God has blessed us with at this time.”

Kinda hard to chalk this one up to the “right wing”, eh?  Heh.

Exit question: Who knew that Pelosi even believed in God?

Obama’s “pay grade”

Ed Morrissey does a great job dissecting the Obamessiah’s “above my pay grade” skirting of the abortion question at Saddleback:

It seems the higher Barack Obama climbs in politics, the lower his pay grade gets. Don Surber finds a quote from 2001, when Obama served in the Illinois Senate, that indicates that his pay grade covered the kind of determination that Obama now says exceeds his authority. Obama told Rick Warren that he couldn’t comment on the moment personhood gets established:

Q. Now, let’s deal with abortion. 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. you know, as a pastor I have to deal with this all of the time. All of the pain and all of the conflicts. I know this is a very complex issue. 40 million abortions. At what point does a baby get human rights in your view?

A. Well, I think that whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade. But let me just speak more generally about the issue of abortion because this is something obviously the country wrestles with. One thing that I’m absolutely convinced of is there is a moral and ethical content to this issue. So I think that anybody who tries to deny the moral difficulties and gravity of the abortion issue I think is not paying attention. So that would be point number one.

But in 2001, Obama must have had more authority to opine on this same question:

“Number one, whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a — a child, a 9-month old — child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it — it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute.”

Obama made this argument to oppose the Illinois bill that would have forced Christ Hospital and other medical providers to give life-supporting treatment to any infant born alive, regardless of whether the birth occurred during an abortion or not. Essentially, Obama argues that only those infants carried to term achieve personhood through birth, not those he deems “pre-viable” but which were born alive anyway. …

Kerry’s got nothing on this guy.

McCain crushed Obama at Saddleback

We all know it, but IBD does a great job explaining how.  Read the whole thing (it’s not long).  Here’s an excerpt:

…”It’s one of those situations where the devil is in the details,” Obama said at one point. He could have been referring to his own oratorical shortcomings when a teleprompter is unavailable. We learned a lot more about the real Obama at Saddleback than we will next week as he delivers his acceptance speech in Denver before a massive stadium crowd.

The stark differences between the two came through the most on the question of whether there is evil in the world. Obama spoke of evil within America, “in parents who have viciously abused their children.” According to the Democrat, we can’t really erase evil in the world because “that is God’s task.” And we have to “have some humility in how we approach the issue of confronting evil.”  (WTF? – Ed.)

For McCain, with a global war on terror raging, there was no equivocating: We must “defeat” evil. If al-Qaida’s placing of suicide vests on mentally-disabled women and then blowing them up by remote control in a Baghdad market isn’t evil, he asked: “You have to tell me what is.” …

How telling that the first thing popping into Hussein’s head when he hears the word “evil” isn’t Islamic terrorism, but is instead his own country that he aspires to lead!

When you see the Obama camp accusing McCain of “cheating” because his answers were “too good”, it’s clear that even they know they were trounced.  It’s Megan’s Fourth Law of Politics: “The party that starts looking for implausible and unprovable conspiracy theories about the opposition candidate is in trouble.”
