The ***hole Truth

The world according to Wingnuts.


Quote of the day:

"By the way, ***hole, the world is still waiting for a single refutation of the Swift Boat Veterans' charges against JohnF'n Kerry."

- Abu Wabu


By "the world", I guess he means "Me, myself, I and my navel."
By "still waiting" I guess he means "still refuse to believe the mountain
of evidence".
By "single refutation" I guess he means "Multiple refutations don't count...***hole!!!"

Others stopped waiting a long time ago.
By "others" I mean anyone who was gullible enough to believe any of that gruel in the first place.

Great WTF Moments In US Politics

Mitt Romney:
"Freedom requires religion..."

Conservapediamania

It was then that the Republican senator whispered, "I have many other interests."

A Bridge Too Far

Freedom of speech and political dissent in America?
That's sooo pre-9/11.

At issue is a crudely lettered sign, scribbled on the back of a menu, that was held up at an awards dinner and read, “We did not vote for Bush.”

By e-mail, angry bridge players have accused the women of “treason” and “sedition.”

...

“Freedom to express dissent against our leaders has traditionally been a core American value,” she wrote by e-mail. “Unfortunately, the Bush brand of patriotism, where criticizing Bush means you are a traitor, seems to have penetrated a significant minority of U.S. bridge players.”

Thought For The Day

Anyone who, while engaging in Very Adult Political Discourse™, obsesses over whether Hillary Clinton has a "Monster Ass" should first check the mirror to see if their own is blocking traffic.

Thanks

In memory of those who gave their lives and to those who put their lives on the line for us every day.
Thank You All

This post was late for personal reasons and I regret the delay.

In a related matter:
I recently discovered, on line, a craven personal attack on me that consisted of a very sick, entirely manufactured scenario involving me and my great uncle Thomas Gordon, Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, R.C.I.C. - who gave his life August 19, 1942 at Dieppe.

For now I'll just say that I believe the names of those who gave their lives for our freedom should never have their good names dragged through the excrement of imaginary scenarios written to serve partisan political beliefs.

I'll also add that, knowing where it's coming from, I am not surprised by it at all.

Damned If You "Boo" And Damned If You Don't

This morning on Air America, Thom Hartmann played an audio clip from FOX news in which the reporter raised the possibility that the California wildfires could be Al Qaeda attacks. She cites alleged testimony from an Al Qaeda-linked detainee who claimed that they were considering as their next wave of terrorism could be starting wildfires in the U.S.
Now, let's set aside for the time being the absurdity of wildfires as a terrorist tactic.
Let's say, for the sake of argument that it was true.
Now FOX news has the uncomfortable task of reporting that the president was unable to protect the citizens of the U.S. from a terrorist attack. They now have to admit that "fighting them over there so we won't have to fight them over here" is a failed policy.
Hop to it FOX. I await your follow up reports.

None The Wise-ah About FISA.

Above: Warblogging FISA expert smiles for the camera.

The Horses Mouth sends what is apparently the horses ass to the glue factory. In other words, right-wing wrongosphere, taking matters into their own paws, proclaim "death by FISA" when the facts - as usual- say otherwise.
