    I fail to understand how a woody tree nut has any effect on the American electoral system

  2. DoctorCulturae says at 11:39 am, February 26th, 2009

    To quote Rachel Maddows: “uh, budduh, beduh, debuh, bleh.”

    Conservative missed opportunity: Al FranCORN

  4. you can laugh, but it’s true! people running for office and other people voting is exactly what is wrong with this country!

    i personally have terrorized the nation by voting regularly for more than 17 years, you will never catch me!

  5. Hooray For Anything says at 11:43 am, February 26th, 2009

    Even Tweety went off on CPAC, last night, calling it a science fiction convention.

  6. hockeymom says at 11:43 am, February 26th, 2009

    That nasty Al Franken….he’s probably plotting the downfall of America RIGHT NOW as he shovels his driveway in Minnesota. Where he’s currently sort of unemployed.

  7. BillyClubb says at 11:46 am, February 26th, 2009

    Now what will Rush Limbaugh, George Will, and Michelle Malkin do with that headline?

  8. shanemacgowan says at 11:47 am, February 26th, 2009

    Here’s a look at the Chair of that panel. She’s not exactly an intellectual heavyweight. http://soonerhippy.blogspot.com/2006/10/cleta-mitchell-gets-her-ass-spanked-on.html

  9. daisy chain says at 11:50 am, February 26th, 2009

    Nothing is more dangerous to the American Election Sytem than voter registration drives. Except teh gays. Gays always vote twice, and they usually vote against themselves the second time because they are self-hating athiests. Gays voted Bobby Jindal into office because they hate America and because all Hindu Muslins are gay, also.

  10. wavingnotdrowning: Better copyright that shit before CPAC gets their hands on it.

  11. Come here a minute says at 11:52 am, February 26th, 2009

    From the category “If you repeat it enough times, it becomes true.”

  12. WhatTheHeck says at 11:52 am, February 26th, 2009

    I see the conference is being held at a Ballroom. There will be dancing and such?
    Somehow, I don’t see republicans having a good time, getting down.

    In keeping with conservative values, this conference should be held in the parking lot of a Walmart.

  13. They are so right. Ever since the Republicans ended the Three-Fifths compromise, the Democrat Party has abused the voting system. Only the RIGHT sort of people should be allowed to vote

  14. Dr Tobias Funke says at 11:59 am, February 26th, 2009

    Their “Web 2.0 Conference- Sponsored by Pajamas Television

    Is- as far as I can tell not being broadcast online, the only streaming video is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/townhall-presents-cpac-2009

    The comments people write are fairly amusing

  15. I wonder which version of the truth they will use to present facts about all the voter fraud.

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:01 pm, February 26th, 2009

    GET THE TRUTH OUT ABOUT SOCIAL ACORN MUSLIM COMMUNIST FASCISTS.
    Fucking retards. HOORAY FOR US!

  17. AL FRNKLINZ IS ABUSING TEH ELECTORATE WITH DEEZNUTZ!

    He’s a squirrel yo.

    Hip hop branding, Also.

  18. shortsshortsshorts: STOP STEALINS MY CAPZ!

  19. Iggy Plop says at 12:04 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Satire is dead? No, just the need for satirists. Now all we have to do is point and laugh. And realize that now, finally, nobody is listening to these dipshits. And laugh again.

  20. The ‘ACORN and Frankin’ lecture is being delivered by someone named Hans von Spakovsky of The Heritage Foundation.
    I have no other comment.

  21. HopeyDope says at 12:05 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Every passing day, I’m more and more convinced that Willie Wonka is running the GOP. And not the pimpin’ Gene Wilder version, either.

  22. Hooray For Anything says at 12:05 pm, February 26th, 2009

    And, of course, Joe the Plumber, will be there to give his advice.

  23. Don’t be pickin’ on Cleta.

    And at the CPAC Convention half-time show Joe The Trader Santelli rants about the stimulus bill. Bon Appetit! PS: You know all the wingnuts flew there on a 50 million luxury jet, & have some high class working girls for the evening entertainment.

  25. Al Franken and ACORN: How Liberals are Destroying the American Election System …and how Jesus will leave them here to rot after the Rapture. THE END IS NEAR!

  26. Lascauxcaveman says at 12:10 pm, February 26th, 2009

    There are no words.

    Here’s a word: “Morans”

  27. This is why we need voter suppression, now!

  28. freakishlystrong says at 12:11 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Thank god they’re addressing the “Fairness Doctrine” with these three hard hitting, serious, Journalists:

    Joe Scarborough
    Roger Hedgecock
    Tucker Carlson

    Also.

  29. Nerdalicious says at 12:11 pm, February 26th, 2009

    I hope Joe Biden the moral money overseer is keeping tabs on their lil soiree.

    Oh what I would give to be a fly on the wall……..

  32. m_supercomputer says at 12:13 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Aw, dammit, this explains why there’ve been so many more douchey college Republican types on the Metro the last few days. (Hey you fucks, if you don’t think the government should be involved in providing public transportation, maybe you *shouldn’t use it.*)

    Other highlights of the convention:

    “The Key to Victory? Listen to Conservatives”

    I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE THINGS UP.

  33. donner_froh says at 12:14 pm, February 26th, 2009

    shanemacgowan: I think that CPAC has the right person to head that panel based on the intellectual paucity and complete lack of wit that she shows in the clip.

    Although based on the clip’s headline I thought I was going to see some real BDSM spanking.

  34. Excuse me, Mr. Plumber? May I call you Joe? Can you get me a free Sham-wow?

  35. Note the last speaker:

    Building the Conservative Hispanic Coalition
    Ambassador Ballroom

    Mario Lopez, Hispanic Leadership Fund

    WhatTheHeck: Are you kinding? Wait until Dj M-Steele starts spinning Wild Cherry’s ‘Play That Funky Music, White Boy’. That convention is going to be off da hook.

  37. The Unfairman says at 12:17 pm, February 26th, 2009

    hockeymom: Get it straight! We haven’t had snowfall in a week, and Al Franken would not have put off shoveling until now. Also, we’re expecting snow this afternoon/tonight, and it would be dumb of Al to shovel just BEFORE or DURING a snowstorm. You shovel AFTER them.

  38. The Unfairman says at 12:17 pm, February 26th, 2009

    hockeymom: Also I will hire him to shovel my drive this weekend so he will have a jorb.

  39. Hooray For Anything says at 12:21 pm, February 26th, 2009

    m_supercomputer: It’s like the Bizarro Mensa Convention

  40. S.Luggo: Wow, man they are serious about that subjugation shit, huh?

  41. bitchincamaro says at 12:22 pm, February 26th, 2009

    m_supercomputer: Don’t forget the “Public Speaking Workship” at 3:00. Seems that ship’s gone down with Jindal already.

  42. I am SO FUCKING SICK of this ACORN shit. My boss was railing against ACORN yesterday, which is fucking ironic, because she’s a bankruptcy lawyer and ACORN does nefarious things around here like help keep our clients in their homes and make sure they have heat and food. The funny thing is, I never heard about the many evils of ACORN from her before WALNUTS started talking shit. These people are true idiots and hateful ones at that (nothing new, I know).

  43. m_supercomputer: Comedy gold.

  44. Monsieur Grumpe says at 12:24 pm, February 26th, 2009

    So much stupid in one location might just cause a rip in the space time continuum.

    I thought the Nazi’s were defeated in 1945? What, they all took a slow boat to D.C.? Josh Bolton Ugh.
    Supercomputer: brilliante

  47. Red Zeppelin says at 12:27 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Clearly, Repubs hate all furries. In SL the Rs are all BDSM prostitutes, obv.

  48. Violenza: Try being stuck listening to Hannity while your wingnut dental hygienist is scraping your teeth, talk about frustrating. Couldn’t laugh, couldn’t yell, couldn’t even choke a bitch.

  50. m_supercomputer: I was laughing until I got to the last sentence. Crying quietly now.

  51. Hooray For Anything says at 12:33 pm, February 26th, 2009

    The mean part of me is hoping the convention gets cancelled due to a nearby volcanic eruption, cause, you know, the irony of it all. Also karma. And because they all suck.

  52. DoctorCulturae says at 12:35 pm, February 26th, 2009

    PsycGirl: Actually it’s an art installation: an experiential version of the new DSM-V.

  53. Hooray For Anything says at 12:36 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Hamster: My doctor not only had Michael Savage blasting throughout his offices, but once had a signed picture of Mr and Mrs. W thanking him for his generous donation predominately displaced in one of his waiting rooms. For some reason, he was always concerned about my high blood pressure.

  54. Incredulicious says at 12:39 pm, February 26th, 2009

    I’m going to show up late so I can see Wrenn Mangum, Elvis Impersonator. Oh, I’m sorry, I mean Elvis Presley Tribute Artist and Rockabilly Singer.

    And wait, weren’t the parents of these culture warriors once burning Elvis’ records because he was suggestively shaking his hips on Ed Sullivan?

    Looking forward to the Marilyn Manson tribute artist at CPAC 2043.

    m_supercomputer: Breitbart on climate science? That’s…entertainment.

    Hooray For Anything:
    Piuysh Windel, go back to your Anti-Bellum Castle in La. You’re just mad cuz your buds called you out for your eeky performance in your rebuttal the other night. (including your God David Broder, & your handler Ed Rollins, who is no longer handling you)

  57. The Cold Sea says at 12:41 pm, February 26th, 2009

    What? No buttseks with minors demonstration? You call this CPAC?

  58. Barrett808 says at 12:42 pm, February 26th, 2009

    m_supercomputer: Where’s Katherine Harris?

  59. idrathernotsay says at 12:47 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Check out “Youth for Western Civilization” on the cpac agenda. Their facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12462690189) has some wonderful little comments, such as the following:
    “Great group you’ve got here. I think one of the main messages should be that its OK to be of European descent, and that we don’t have to show phony interest in people who aren’t from western backgrounds.”

  62. Schadenfried says at 12:51 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Ugh, Thom Hartman was talking to one of these CPAC asshats on his show. I appreciate him giving a voice to the other side, but Jesus F. Christ.

  63. Oh god. This is the CARICATURE that my mind conjures up for what happens at these things. And now you tell me that they actually do it? There are no words.

  64. daisy chain says at 12:56 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: “predominately displaced”. Did you mean “prominently displayed”? Cuz I’m having a really hard time deciding what predominantely displaced means and whether or not it makes sense. It might actually make sense. I hope my html tags work or I’m going to look silly.

  67. Hooray For Anything says at 1:04 pm, February 26th, 2009

    daisy chain: D’oh! Let’s try this again (stupid typos):

    My doctor not only had Michael Savage blasting throughout his offices, but once had a signed picture of Mr and Mrs. W thanking him for his generous donation prominently displayed in one of his waiting rooms. For some reason, he was always concerned about my high blood pressure.

  68. yellowdogdem says at 1:07 pm, February 26th, 2009

    S.Luggo: “Cleta”? Was she named after a private part?

  69. yellowdogdem says at 1:12 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Nerdalicious: I believe that would be “working boys.”

  70. Will Bobby Jindal be hosting a forum on how the Democratic federal government messed up Katrina, too?

  71. AnnieGetYourFun says at 1:23 pm, February 26th, 2009

    WhatTheHeck: Actual conservative values would dictate that the event be held in a fancy government building normally reserved for state functions, replete with tax payer-purchased chandeliers, and attended by rich people who spend the day extolling the virtues of people who buy their guns at Walmart, followed by fiery speeches about the evils of government funding scientific and medical research on the backs of the POOR GOOD ‘MURICANS WHO BUY THEIR GUNS AT WALMART. Followed by a round of ass-fucking, then a round of denouncing gay marriage.

  72. SnarkNotFark says at 1:49 pm, February 26th, 2009

    I can’t believe I’m missing it!
    Wait, no panel with Philip Berg discussing Obama’s birth certificate? No Ayn Rand bacchanalia? Screw it, this isn’t a REAL conservative shindig.

  73. iolanthe says at 1:52 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Incredulicious: The Marilyn Manson tribute could happen. I’m on a Metal & Hard Rock Social Networking Site, where I’ve been appalled to discover that today’s fans of metal and hard rock (once politically edgy genres, e.g. War Pigs, Electric Eye, Screaming for Vengeance) are the same folks who think ACORN kicked off the international financial meltdown, and that Obama is a Muslin Manchurian Candidate who was picked, prenatally, by the International Socialist Conspiracy, to serve as US President. His mission is to dismantle Capitalism and Morality, and take everyone’s guns and Bibles.

    They also think marijuana is *wrong* (prize comment: “If it isn’t that bad for you, why would they make it illegal?”, along with thousands of, “Sure, I smoked it myself before my alcohol rehab. But I won’t let my kids smoke it because it’s a million times stronger today.”)

    Many of them also think that today’s rock is better because “today’s bands are composed of young businessmen and businesswomen who take their success very seriously. They don’t make the mistakes that Boomer bands made, with groupies and wild living and substance use and excess! They work *with* their labels and don’t rebel.”

    Now we know why Nu Metal sucks, huh?

  74. shanemacgowan says at 1:58 pm, February 26th, 2009

    iolanthe: That’s why Dethklok is the only band that matters.

  75. Aquannissiwamissoo says at 2:17 pm, February 26th, 2009

    iolanthe: are you saying you are shocked that most metalheads are socially backward epsilon sub-minus semi-morons?

  76. Incredulicious says at 2:44 pm, February 26th, 2009

    Aquannissiwamissoo - Hey, not all metalheads are socially backward epsilon sub-minus semi-morons. Granted, most are. But I’m offended by the generalization.

  77. binarian says at 3:10 pm, February 26th, 2009

    This is jaw-droppingly funny to read, in it’s own way. I noticed at 3:00 they have a “Public Speaking Workship”. Is that the one where they all sail off the end of the flat earth?

    Oh, and tomorrow you can have breakfast with Phyllis Schlafly…..great if you’re on a diet….THAT’LL put you off food for awhile…
