Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama’s new criteria for being president

The One puts on an impressive display of circular reasoning.  Seriously, I applaud such an overt display of logical fallacies I haven’t seen since my Intro to Philosophy class at FSU.  Here’s the Obimbo weighing in on why Governor Palin has accomplished diddly (unlike a certain achievementless “community organizer” elitist from Chicago), from NRO:

OBAMA: Well, you know, my understanding is, is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilly [sic] has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month.

So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years. And, certainly, in terms of the legislation that I passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina of how we handle emergency management, the fact that many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place as we speak, I think, indicates the degree to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect.

Got that?  Obambi is supremely qualified to run for president because…well, because he’s running for president!  Friggin’ brilliant, Socrates.

Also, I find it funnier than Michael Moore on a treadmill that Osamabama keeps referencing Palin’s former role as mayor of a small Alaskan town…while conveniently ignoring that her current job is governor of the largest state in the union.  That’s more than Sen. Thin Resumé can say.

Exit question #1: If you’re going to once again slander yet another ”bitter, clingy” small town in America’s 56th state, is it too much to ask for you to get the town’s name right?  It’s “Wasilla”, Magellan.

Exit question #2: By Barry O’s circular reasoning, anyone who ever has ever run for any public office has executive experience.  Doesn’t that pretty much neuter the left’s own “experience” argument against Palin?

History ain’t this lady’s forté

From Kiddie P0rn Senator territory, aka Virginia, we have this letter to the editor in the Washington comPost from a Rosanne Desmone:

What was John McCain thinking of in naming an inexperienced woman to be his vice presidential candidate? To paraphrase Ohio Sen. Mark Hanna’s remark about William McKinley’s choice of running mate in 1900: Doesn’t Mr. McCain know there’s only one heartbeat between that woman and the presidency of the United States?

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, Toots, but McKinley’s vice-president was Theodore Roosevelt!  You know, that war hero guy that ascended to the presidency upon McKinley’s assassination?  From my vantage point, the republic does not appear to have been harmed by TR’s presidency.

Idiot.

Moonbats outside RNC convention attacks innocents…including Cub Scouts!

“Peace” and “love” and yada-yada-yada.  From Gateway Pundit:

Anarchists in St. Paul attacked RNC busses today in route to the Excel Center.
The anarchists and Leftists knew when the busses would be heading to the convention and were waiting for them. They nearly killed us!

The anarchists and antiwar nuts were protesting on top of the interstate overpasses earlier in the day.

THE LEFTISTS ALMOST KILLED US! when the GOP busses started to take delegates from Minneapolis to St. Paul the anarchists started throwing sandbags and cement bags at the busses.
Unreal.

Later

The bus I was riding was hit with cement bags that the anarchists were throwing off the overpasses down on the interstate. The anarchists missed the bus in front of us and nailed our bus with a direct hit.

The police had us slow down and then sent us under the interstate overpass when we were attacked.  There were several women and senior citizens on the bus. …

That’s not all, notes Power Line:

The first day of the RNC was fun but muted. One group, though, wasn’t deterred from pursuing its agenda by events in the Gulf. The Communist/anarchist/truther/pro-Obama protesters were out in force, committing various crimes and attempting to disrupt the proceedings.
…
A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters–liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever–blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.

Among us conservatives, it’s pretty much an article of faith that people of all political persuasions are good folks who should be treated with respect; we just disagree about issues of public policy. (Liberals generally don’t adopt that view, although there are some honorable exceptions.) But sometimes that model doesn’t apply. The liberal/anarchist/Communist/pro-Obama protesters we have seen today in St. Paul are terrible people who, in many cases, should be subject to long prison terms. Let’s hope that a few of them, at least, are prosecuted.

Exit quip: “This is not the liberal base I thought I knew.”

Career women are awesome…so long as they’re Democrat

Michelle Malkin notes the rank (yet shameless) hypocrisy here.  The summary nails it:

If a Democrat mom chooses public office, she’s a patriot Wonder Woman imbued with Absolute Moral Authority on children’s, health, and social welfare issues.

If a Republican mom chooses public office, she’s the child-neglecting spawn of Satan who has no business debating any domestic public policy because of alleged hypocrisy.

Ain’t feminism grand?

Indeed.

McCain surprised by media bias?

This is one area where I don’t have any sympathy for McAmnesty.  From Bloomberg:

The longtime love affair between John McCain and what he once called his “base” — the national news media — is on the rocks.

McCain’s campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, yesterday lashed out at what he deemed “offensive” and “demeaning” coverage and questions from reporters after McCain’s running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, confirmed her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

“It used to be that a lot of those smears and the crap on the Internet stayed out of the newsrooms of serious journalists,” Schmidt said at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Schmidt’s criticism is the latest example in the unraveling of what was once a fond relationship between the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the media. Starting in the 2000 Republican primaries, the Arizona senator became a media sensation by chatting up the press in the back of his “Straight Talk Express” campaign bus. The national press corps freely mingled with McCain for hours on the bus, with no topic off limits.

More recently, though, McCain, 72, has accused news organizations such as the New York Times, Time magazine and the NBC network of being unfair to him. The campaign even considered pulling out of one of the three presidential debates because it would be moderated by Tom Brokaw, a former NBC News anchorman. …

Don’t get me wrong: the MSM’s bias has been one reason that many of us on the right who have been underwhelmed by McLame have rallied around him.  The NYT‘s Page One smear job based on innuendos with no proof and tons of “anonymous sources” (not a single named source) have made people like me resolved to vote for McCain just to flip off the MSM.

Having said that, McCain should have learned a lesson from this: when you’re trashing fellow Republicans, the MSM loves you; but when you poormouth the Obamessiah or threaten his “birthright” of the Oval Office, you’re the MSM’s Public Enemy #1.

Biden: Today not a day for politics…well, for McCain, anyway

What a scumbag.  From MSNBC:

This morning, Joe Biden said today was not a day for national politics. He said it again during a roundtable discussion outside his childhood home here this afternoon. But before long, he couldn’t help himself, criticizing McCain for his views on offshore drilling and questioning his foreign policy judgment.

“The only guy in America in a position of some authority who is out of sync with the whole rest of the world is John McCain,” he told a small group of relatives and old family friends. “This Administration, the Iraqis, NATO, the Europeans, our friends around the world, the vast majority of the American people, the Democratic-controlled Congress, Republicans in Congress — they all agree. Barack Obama was right, and John McCain was wrong.”

Good enough for me, but not for…um, me.

“McSame”? Hardly!

The left refers to Juanny Mac as “McSame”, and The One frequently references “McCain has voted with George Bush 9x% of the time” (the “x” seems to change all the time…go figure) in his ads.  Neal Boortz has done the research and, not surprisingly, it’s yet another Obama lie:

The theme that emerged out of the Democrat convention and will likely continue until the election in November is … “eight is enough.”  The Obama campaign sees its best chance at defeating McCain by continuing to link McCain to George Bush.  So far, this doesn’t seem to be sticking.  On Friday, we also put to rest the notion that John McCain has not voted with George Bush “90% of the time” on the issues that matter.  I’m not talking about votes honoring the local Little League for their recent victory; I’m talking about issues that have the potential to affect us as a nation.

If you will recall … we took a list of 31 crucial votes since the 109th congress.  We eliminated from that list all unanimous Senate votes … and figured out that McCain actually votes “with Bush,” (That means with the Republicans), about 45% of the time when the vote is (1) meaningful and, (2) not unanimous.  Again .. only a Democrat with Bush Derangement Syndrome could get his boxers in a wad over McCain voting “with Bush” on a resolution commending a basketball team.
