- On Tuesday while Democrats were busy paying attention to the convention, John McCain was talking about how Barack Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness. [Washington Post]
- Speaking of international things, today’s convention theme is national security — featuring speaker Bill Clinton, who wanted to talk about the economy. [Congressional Quarterly]
- Barack Obama is quietly airing ads in swing states explaining why he should not be held accountable for William Ayers bombing something when he (Obama) was eight years old. [Washington Post]
- Who knew? Apparently there is a “Freedom Cage” like 50 yards from the buses where delegates get dropped off at the convention. A bunch of young hippies came all the way from like Maryland to protest in this Freedom Cage, and now they are being ignored, because of the bus route. [Denver Post]
- Hillary Clinton tried last night to goose her supporters into voting for Obama. [Wall Street Journal]
- So far, nobody at the convention is talking about race. [New York Times]
They hate us for our Freedom Cages.
Walnuts is another jackass who perceives greatness as being beyond criticism. This might not be so bad if you accomplished a lot more than just crashing five jets and lived in North Vietnamese government subsidized housing for 5 and 1/2 years.

Is anyone surprised that Billy Boy cares about nothing but himself and his needs?
I missed the live blog last night. Great comments! But I have to say I think Hilz was rockin’ the orange and blue for ILLINOIS!
Young Obama should have stood up and rejected/denounced the Weather Underground bombings. That he did not is proof that he has always been a Muslim terrorist.
Meanwhile, Cindy Brady is off to Georgia (and not the one with Atlanta in it) so McJerk can say his wife is out doing something useful rather than partying down in Denver with a bunch of pinkos who don’t believe in yer peaceful freedom cages
Billy Bob will figure out a way to say what he wants. Just keep an eye on Obama Girl.
ManchuCandidate: WALNUTS! thinks it was a good idea to try to “bring democracy and freedom” to a country that has a history of internecine battles going back several thousands of years and whose culture is utterly unlike any where a American-style democracy could begin to work (oh, and that evil dictator we just had to overthrow to bring freedom to his oppressed people? The one we supported and made possible for years? Ooops). He thinks foreign policy is accomplished via the DoD, not State. He is a moran. He should stick to insulting his wife and representing interest groups from AZ.
Not that I feel strongly about this or anything. Sheesh, sorry. it was just the quotes in the WaPo this morning from bitterz who “need more time to mourn and grieve” and “hate Obama so much” they are going to “work to have McCain elected” (I am not making this up) that got me in this mood. These people are unreal. It is NOT about you or your need to grieve, you selfish fools. They are basically saying they voted for Hillz solely because she was a woman or, they believe in her positions, but are so bigoted, they’d rather vote against their interests than for a black man.
OK, time for my morning Valium.
Godless Liberal *: as if we needed more proof! His wife wore a teal cocktail dress to speak! He has Negroez for children! He is thus a Muslim terorrist Black radical Hawaiian!
Borat: I am sure the Georgians appreciate her visit. Maybe she is bringing them customized makeup kits?
Doglessliberal: “These people are unreal.”
No, they’re REPUBLICANS. Sucking on a chocolate dick won’t get that bitter taste out of their mouths.
ManchuCandidate: FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, ALAN!
Actually McCain is one of those guys who think America is great enough to bomb the shit out of every country from Albania to Zambia, but not great enough to be able to raise fuel efficiency standards of cars or have decent health care.
Doglessliberal: Rant on, rant on. You’re completely right.
MP3 highlights from Clinton’s keynote last night are up: http://www.entertonement.com/collections/2551/Hillary-Clinton-2008-DNC-Speech
Bill Clinton. Hah! I have this ‘duck and cover’ feeling.
So John McCain doesn’t believe in all those statistics that show we suck (comparative to the first world) in many things, eh? I’m sure he could refute them individually. Facts are hard.
comparative=compared. *sigh*
SuperRounder: I agree, most of those crazy, shrill “Obama is a Muslim” screamers are Repulitard plants!
“The Cold War ended not because the world stood ‘as one,’ but because the great democracies came together, bound together by sustained and decisive American leadership,”
Very interesting: so the Cold War ended, but that doesn’t mean that we should look forward to building a world in which all nations strive toward the common good (i.e. the UN, WTO model). Rather, we should look forward to the next great confrontation between superpowers. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia… and always will be.
I demand an explanation as to why as an 8-year-old Mr. Obama did NOT save America
medievalist: my mistake is trying to inject logic and pragmatism into anything these days. I am better off realizing we live in a giant French farce or surrealist novel. Tomorrow, I shall wake up as a giant cockroach.
Borat: Cindy didn’t understand why the Georgian refugees didn’t simply take their private jets to their vacation condos.
Serolf Divad: you never know when the Prussians are going to make their move. And watch out for those inscrutable Formosans.
Doglessliberal: You forgot Vampire
Hi, I’m calling from the Freedom Cage. Do you deliver? Okay, great. I’d like a soup sandwich please. And some diet onion rings. And a boiled ice cream. Yeah, we’re all going to be raising our voices in submission later, and I need my energy.
McCain said oppressed nations look to the United States for leadership and hope. “When they talk about our country, it is not with distrust or disdain, but with respect and affection. They do not resent or resist America’s democratic influence in the world — they thank God for it.”
Um, when was the last time WALNUTS! traveled abroad and was he sure it was on planet Earth? He’s sounding a little more coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs than usual. Or he’s off his meds. Or both. Again.
What on earth does Cindy McCain think she is going to accomplish in Georgia? Is this called Percocet Diplomacy?
Doglessliberal: Yeah, I keep telling myself that if people respond to 20-second ads of some dude standing in front a flag (let alone swiftboating ads that link a candidate to terrorism, bin Laden, Hitler, or black people), then the battle for sanity is already lost.
Who knew we could set up cages and the hippies would cage themselves? We should set up more of these… then lock them and forget where we put them.
kellygrrrl: Who knows? Early bedtime. Peewee basketball. That report he had to write for social studies. A million f-ing bullshit excuses, when he was probably just watching cartoons.
Serolf Divad: I thought it ended because the Russians had line up just to buy oranges and toilet paper.
Serolf Divad: I thought it ended because the Russians had to line up just to buy oranges and toilet paper.
Sorry about the double post, I keep getting “duplicate message, blah, blah, blah.” (On the first comment.) Damn you Firefox!!
UnindictedCo-conspirator: He was probably watching “Johnny Chimpo” and “Worker and Parasite”.
grendel: Since “We are all Georgians”, maybe Cindie can set up a refugee camp in one of her “compounds” somewhere in the Arizona desert
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
He just doesn’t see or converse with the “peasants” and is therefore completely numb to how the United States appears to the real world.
Doglessliberal: I prefer to think of life as a Vonnegut described it(also he was American, and fought in some war or something, so it’s more patriotic).
What a jip, that “Freedom Cage” article doesn’t have any pictures!
re: Bill Ayres ads. Quick response is great, but isn’t it about time for some Keating Five ???
It’s kind of amazing that we live in a country where smart, interesting people have to pretend that they are dumb and ordinary in order to lead.
Serolf Divad: And we NEED a president who will stand up to Oceania’s agression! Don’t take it from those naive Eurasians - negotiation WITHOUT STRENGTH (occassional random invasions and cruise missile attacks will serve nicely) will never succeed.
capitol hillbilly: Oh hell yes… Maybe Obama’s waiting to club Walnuts! over the head with Keating at the debates? Seeing Ol’ Walnuts! turn red and start stuttering would be priceless…
Dientes:
Vonnegut’s “Man Without A Country” should be required reading.
The Incomparable Tiny Valdez:
All the kids in the village are in vicodine comas! problem solved!
stolichnayaaa:
…and are forever back-pedaling because sensitivity has been elevated over truth.
capitol hillbilly: FIVE AND HALF YEARS!!!!
grendel: McCain will respond with “Keating Five…and a half years!”
Johnny Zhivago: oh damn, i forgot.
Borat: Cindy’s visiting the Black Sea port of Poti, which she owns under the name “Eldon Smith”.
grendel: After all, private jet is really the “only way to get around” Georgia….
grendel: The cages should also be near large and deep bodies of water. To push them into.
Serolf Divad: Yeah, McCain? So why did you fail to resolve the Gondwanaland/Pangaea border dispute when you had the chance? Fucker.
— People for a Free Gondwanaland
Cogito Ergo Bibo: That would be his trip to Iraq, complete with a bullet-proof vest and complimentary Praetorian Guard escort.
Doglessliberal: Those same quotes from the bitterz have put me in a pissy mood today, too. Right now, I am anti anything Clinton, especially her freakin’ supporters.
Of course Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness. He’s running as a Democrat. There’s been nothing great about our party for a decade or so.

GayInMaine: the irony is, if Obama loses, she will take a lot of the blame for smearing him and damaging him badly during the primaries, which will then damage HER and her possible future running for Pres again. So the morans who are not going to vote for him now might end up getting McCain into office and ruining their darling Hillz’ chances in the future.
Too much logic, I know.
Doglessliberal: “…quotes in the WaPo this morning from bitterz who “need more time to mourn and grieve”
As an older, not-rich, white woman I would like to issue a blanket apology for these deeply embarrassing members of my demographic.
On the other hand, I’ve been dealing with these moronically self-centered, pathologically narcissistic, teeny-tiny-minded tools my whole life — If you think they were more bearable back in high school, well, no. Just no.
Doglessliberal: absolutely. if he loses she loses. i felt sorry for her last night … but not for that guy she married.
“Speaking of international things, today’s convention theme is national security — featuring speaker Bill Clinton, who wanted to talk about the economy.”
Well, depends on your definition of “want”. Or “is”.
How do you say “trollopy cunt” in Georgian?
