I take it you're watching coverage of the "Glenn Beck Scared White People March" Himu?
rabble rabble rabble I'm simple minded and cannot fathom people having a different opinion so instead I will just call them racist. rabble rabble rabble.
It's too bad the local DC residents don't come down and make some people check their racism.

I'm presuming the point of posting that was because he found it offensive; I suppose my point was that it was fuck awesome.

It still amazes me how these peopl are manipulated to think that a public action group that's sustained by their own sons and daughters could be evil, that it is a bad thing to be offered lower premiums at the expense of an insurance companies bottom line, or that Obama is the first President to use a teleprompter. Some old man in a think tank snaps his fingers and these people snatch up the talking points and just run with them.

Regardless, Mandark, you need not worry - I don't pray.

Wow buddy. So your mind has resorted to this line of thinking? He was horrible, huh? horrible things:atom bombsPlaguesFamineHomicidal SociopathsThe sun going supernovaProton decay in the long runDyingFlesh Eatin BacteriaBlack Presidentsthings that are annoying/aggravating:Politicians I don't personally agree withAnd you can argue its semantical, but if you resort to calling people horrible you'd be surprised how your subconscious brain interprets that. So you end up wishing people would die.

Rick Santorum affirmed on an RNC conference call -- aimed at attacking Arlen Specter -- that he's considering a run for president in 2012 -- because, he said, the Obama presidency is "injurious to America.""The dynamic has changed," Santorum said. "A lot of folks who might not have thought about running against an incumbent president" are now considering it.He cited Obama's lower poll numbers and his failure to "transform" and unify the country."A lot of people are going to take a look and see wht they can do to try to confront this presidency, which many of us -- as you're seeing from the tea parties and the like -- which many of us believe is injurious to America," Santorum said, saying the 2012 race is "something that I think I would consider." Santorum also elaborated on his opposition to the use of reconciliation to pass health care legislation; the parliamentary procedure was used, with his support, in the Bush years to pass the controversial 2003 tax cuts and a range of other measures, including opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling.Santorum called ANWR drilling "fairly minor" in its impact on the land and on the economy"You're talking about drilling holes, as opposed to rejiggering and reconstructing the entire health care system of this country," the former Pennsylvania senator said."A tax bill is by definition a revenue bill - it affects the budget. That's what reconciliation is for," he said."This is a major policy initiative in an area that goes beyond the federal government's balance sheets -- that to me makes it an abomination."He warned that the procedure would turn the bill into a "Rube Goldberg machine."UPDATE: A Democrat notes that Santorum didn't always consider ANWR a minor matter of a few holes: “I believe that ANWR has the potential to play a significant role in reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and I support exploring this area in a safe and environmentally sound way," he wrote in 2006.

9/12 CROWD ESTIMATES JUMP THE SHARK.... The "debate" over the size of the crowd for the right-wing protests in D.C. on Saturday have been painful to watch the last few days. Absurd claims and bogus photographs abound. This morning, Glenn Beck said a "university" put the number at 1.7 million, but he couldn't remember which one.All of this has been embarrassing for a few days now, but the story didn't become farcical until today.Quote Yesterday on his radio program, while discussing the crowds at this weekend's 9/12 protests, Glenn Beck claimed that the London Telegraph "quote[d] a source from the Park Service, the National Park Service, saying that it is the largest march on Washington ever." This led to a good deal of confusion here, as the Telegraph article contains no such quote. Just another case of Beck making things up? Actually, the story behind this turns out to be much funnier than we could have anticipated. Several conservative blogs have been quoting National Park Service spokesman "Dan Bana" as saying the 9/12 protest was "the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever." This appears to be a repurposing of this quote from David Barna (who, unlike Dan Bana, appears to be a real person): "David Barna, a Park Service spokesman, said the agency did not conduct its own count. Instead, it will use a Washington Post account that said 1.8 million people gathered on the US Capitol grounds, National Mall, and parade route. 'It is a record,' Barna said. 'We believe it is the largest event held in Washington, D.C., ever.'"There are an astounding number of conservative bloggers running with this today, all of whom are telling their readers that Saturday's protest was the largest in D.C. history. (My personal favorite was the one mocking "Democrats and their media acolytes" who refuse to believe it.)The problem, of course, is that the quote conservatives are so excited about referenced the Obama inauguration. The article that generated all of this right-wing excitement has a headline that reads, "Inaugural crowd size reportedly D.C. record." The very first sentence in the article that the conservative bloggers relied on reads, "The National Park Service says it will rely on a media report that says 1.8 million people attended President Obama's inauguration."Charles Johnson, himself a conservative blogger at Little Green Footballs, finds the right's approach to this rather depressing. "This is so pathetic I don't know whether to laugh or cry," he said, adding, "An epic, monumental fail."

Oh god, Wilson was the doofus who criticized Strom Thurmond's secret black daughter for revealing herself? Nevermind.
Barack Obama, bourgeois in every way that bourgeois is right and just, will not dance. He tells kids to study--and they seethe. He accepts an apology for an immature act of rudeness--and they go hysterical. He takes his wife out for a date--and their veins bulge. His humanity, his ordinary blackness, is killing them. Dig the audio of his response to Kanye West--the way he says, "He's a jackass." He sounds like one of my brothers. And that's the point, because that's what he is. Barack Obama refuses to be their distinguished black fellow. And it's driving them crazy.It's about time.
Obama's such a dork. Ta-Nehisi Coates over at the Atlantic had a pretty astute blog entry on all of the the white rage at Obama earlier today:QuoteBarack Obama, bourgeois in every way that bourgeois is right and just, will not dance.
