Signs of the Coming Republican Apocalypse

Asshattery, F*ck the Republicans!!!, Political Smackdown 2008!!!, The Keith Olbermann Files, Wingnutteria May 16th, 2008

Let’s see: first the Repubs lose supposedly safe Congressional districts in Illinois, Louisiana, and Mississippi (well done, Rush….so much for Operation Chaos!!). OK, so the winners are mostly conservative Democrats, but in districts which averaged 55-60% majorities for Dubya, it’s still a bombshell.

Then…..Dubya decides to use the anniversary of Israel’s founding to attempt to smack down Barack Obama as the second coming of Neville Chamberlain playing “appeasement” to the modern-day “Nazis” called Hamas. And McCain decides to join in on the fun with his own slam. Which only results in doing what not even the Democratic Party appratus couldn’t do for all of three months: unite Obama and Hillary and Howard Dean and John Kerry and even Joe Biden (who called it “bullshit”) together in universal outrage.

And to make things so much better, the Repubs send a dimwit wingnutter to attempt to sell this “Obama = Chamberlain” meme on Chris Matthews’ Hardball…which only gets him smacked down hard by the host. And considering Tweety’s….ummmm, respect for McCain, you gotta go pretty low to earn that.

The moral: don’t come to a gunfight with only the same old Hannity talking points…and read a history book or five.

“But…but..butbutbutbutbut….we’re talking about APPEASEMENT!!!!!!” Yeah, right.

And finally….you have Keith Olbermann, once again applying the whupass to Dubya for his latest inanity of an interview; including the unfortunate quib about how our President-Select is more than willing to sacrifice his golf game for the solidarity of the troops dying for his wars. Even after their 17th tour of duty.

Actually, I’d rather that Dubya NOT “shut the hell up”…the more he opens his piehole, the better the chance that his party gets rolled flatter than a pancake come November. At this rate, even Walter Mondale might be cracking a smile.

Conservatives For Chaos (Or, Why Rush Limbaugh Is A Freakin’ Fascist Idiot)

Asshattery, F*ck the Republicans!!!, Stop Reading Your Fax, Fool!!, Wingnutteria April 27th, 2008

There are gifts that keep on giving long after their shelf life has expired.

Lead paint.

Uranium-tipped Cruise missiles.

Jerry Lewis. (the comedian, NOT the Congressman from California)

Bill O’Reilly.

And then..there is Rush Limbaugh, whose gift is as unique as it is long lasting…in the way a canker sore or a tick is.

For those of you who don’t know the latest Rectal-Cranial spew from Jabba, the Fat-Ass Stoogie-smokin’ Oxycontin Comedian; he has openly revealed his true fantasies about how he thinks the Democratic slugfest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (or, as some of his “Dittoheads” would more plainly put it, “The Bitch” vs. Barack the Hafrican/Magic Negro/ Saddam Hussein Obama bin Laden) should end in Denver this summer.

With riots in the streets.

With people killed.

And with John McCain breezing to victory.

Never mind that at one time, Rush thought McCain to be much too “liberal” to be a capable conservative nominee for the Repub side….that was then and this is now, and conservatives gotta rally round the candidate they have.  (Besides, Johnny Mac, been kissing up to the “conservatives” so much lately that even Rick Santorum’s now backing his campaign based on fear of Hillary or BHO getting elected.

Hence, the much ballyhooed “Operation Chaos”: Rushbo’s plan for blowing up the “Democrat” Party’s nominating efforts.

Now, last time you might have heard about Limbaugh’s plans, it was during the Mississippi primaries, where Rush instructed his dittoheads to cross over party lines and stuff the ballot boxes for Hillary (Obama was actually favored and ultimately won that state’s primany).  A sound political move that was….that is, unless it results in a Republican congressional seat there going to either a “liberal” Republican or, even, A DEMOCRAT.

Uhhh…OOPS.

But never deny Rush’s tenacity; he’s still pitching the merits of his masterplan…and now he’s added a new battlefront: get Hillary the nomination by any means neccessary, because if that happens , then Barack Obama’s supporters will explode in riots on the streets of Denver, where the Dems will have their convention. And what else will make McCain look even more statesmanlike (other than his mighty temper) than the comparison between peaceful Republicans and fractuous, violent “far Left” Democrats???

You think I’m making this up??  Nope…..here’s the evidence:

The Mike Malloy Show (NovaMRadio) — Segment on Rush Limbaugh’s Call for “Riots in Demver” (via Multiply/Progressive Radio in America and YouTube, First of 12 segments available)

(Hat tip as well to my friend Polybi, who also alerted me of this video.)

Especially fascinating to me was when Jabba faced off with the caller who attempted to call Rush out over his call for such “chaos”, and broke out this nice blast:

“The purpose of democracy is to keep your advesaries in the political minority.”

Yup…that explains Limbaugh’s point exactly.  Who cares about the principles of free and fair elections, or campaign financing, or decent debates??  We are here simply to take power and keep power, and through any means neccessary, fair or unfair (though being conservatives, we’ll always fight “fair”, it’s only them far lefties who fight dirty) to maintain our power.

As much as I would love Malloy’s main dream of Limbaugh frog-marched out of the EiB studios with cameras rolling for slander and incitement to riot charges, I’m not holding my breath for that any time soon.  After all, if the Savage Weiner can still pollute the air with his anti-gay smack and BillO can still stay on the air after all his nonsense about “the secular progressive media’s out to get me!!!”….then it doesn’t seem to likely that “Da Comedian will get his any time soon.

Oh, well….at least there’s a few genuine progressive media outlets to call his bullshit out. I’m sure KO has a “Worst Person” slot already in the waiting…
