Yes, This Is What The ‘GOP Renaissance’ Looks Like

  • Sesame Street beefs on FOX? Oscar the Grouch lives in a trashcan because he is a dirty Maoist. [Gateway Pundit]
  • Barack Obama > Moderate Democrats > Barney Frank’s Dining Room Table > Moderate Republicans > Michael Steele. [Matt Yglesias]
  • The best part of last night was when voters told the Gays they couldn’t get married. Remember the Maine! And suck a fat one, Rachel Maddow! [The Corner]
  • A Hoffman poll watcher had his tires slashed by ACORN, but “local police are not willing to confirm it was a tire slashing.” Ha, typical! More foul play from the conniving Democrats. [RedState]
  • “The GOP renaissance has begun,” said the cow blocking the train. “Moo.” [TPM]

    Wow — congrats to Thomas Peters for being Major Prick of the Day among such fierce competition.

    I dunno there “Gateway Pundit”. I think it’s funny.

    Why take offense when muppets (who literally have a hand up their ass) mock other puppets (who only have Roger Ailes’ hand up their asses)?

  3. gurukalehuru says at 4:30 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Pox News. That was a good one. But they made a funny about CNN as well, so they’re off the hook. Tough luck, morans. This clearly falls into the category of harmless humor.

    Actually, Arizona reject the ballot measure the first time.

    Oh yeah and NOM (National Organization For Marriage) is refusing to disclose who gave them money and how much. So I don’t where the idea came from that gays some how out funded a bunch of tax free, off-the-books fund raising by Christian groups.

    Today is a totally awesome day. It is bright. And it is shiny.

    Other than Raphael, wasn’t the Renaissance just a bunch of gay guys painting hookers dressed up to look like religious figures? That’s what the GOP’s all about now?

  7. give us a bob says at 4:35 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Clearly this is the fault of pox, for having the utter audacity to be named with a word rhyming with the sacred Fox. Damn those nefarious viruses and their sinister etymology.

  8. I was about to make a joke about Gateway Pundit calling PBS socialist propaganda - then saw the first comment topped it. “Public Brainwashing System”; what these guys say seriously tops parody.

  9. CrunchyKnee says at 4:35 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Those damn ACORN bottles throwing themselves under the tires of honest real American trucks. Shocking!

  10. lissonifan says at 4:37 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Wow — congrats to Thomas Peters for being Major Prick of the Day among such fierce competition.

    A funny thing about that Corner posting. If you follow the link (while holding your nose, of course) to his blog, and to the link there for “Expel Jennings,” you can send a “form letter” to your reps. about expelling Jennings, or Thomas Peters will send it for you! And you can even go so far as to change the form letter to, I don’t know, “Keep Jennings,” and then write about what a Major Prick Thomas Peters is. Just saying, is all.

    Conservatives are outraged. As we speak, they are hunting for Elmo’s email address. We all know Oscar is an ACORN member, and he’s going down.

    Nothing on Carly’s BIG ANNOUCEMENT???

    That Hoffman trucker dude should have been packing heat. Then he could have shot that ACORN bottle before he ran over it. (Probably still would have flattened his tire, though.)

  14. Aflac Shrugged says at 5:11 pm, November 4th, 2009

    I’m glad that the Republican base has decided to stop accepting mediocrity in their party-anointed candidates, when they can have the very worst in a third-party candidate.

  15. chascates says at 5:18 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Sesame Street is forcing multiculturalism on our kidz! Bert & Ernie: gay. Big Bird: stoned. Oscar the Grouch: Muslim.

  16. Message to NRO douchebag - Being one of the dancing gays myself I should be angry, angry, angry about this gays not getting to eat wedding cakes in Maine and all, but I’d rather just pity the celebrating dinosaurs today, for they’re really having one of their last dances. I lived in Maine in the 1990s, and believe me, back then about 90% of Mainers would have voted against gay marriage. Now its 53%. In ten years it will be 33%. In 11 years, the NRO will cease to exist.

  17. detfrost1 says at 5:29 pm, November 4th, 2009

    As much as this is a satire blog….
    I think we need to realize that people were hurt yesterday. Not interest groups, PEOPLE. Frankly, if conservatives want most of the gay interest groups to go away, all we need is total equality. Then…bampf most gay rights interest groups will be redundant. The longer they put up this fight, the more it damages them. Furthermore, if they are so afraid of children learning about gays; well if you just accepted us, then they wouldn’t have to see all your vicious attack ads, which are far more damaging then learning that sometimes king marries another king.

  18. comicbookguy says at 5:38 pm, November 4th, 2009

    So true, there is no snark I can invent that could top what’s on gatewaypundit already.

    Looking forward to the muppet hunting parties, with trucknutz!

    Washington State: ‘Everything but marriage’ backers smelling victory

    Supporters of Referendum 71 were energized by first-day returns showing the measure leading by a narrow margin.

    The referendum to expand the state’s domestic-partnership law was winning approval by nearly 2-to-1 in King County, where about 30 percent of the state’s voters reside, and was also passing in other Puget Sound-area counties.

    Throughout Eastern Washington and in more than half a dozen other counties, voters were soundly rejecting it.

    But the trends appeared to favor passage of the measure because more votes remained to be counted in the counties that were approving it than in the counties that were rejecting it, according to a Times analysis. …

  20. “Proponents of same-sex marriage, unlike in California’s Prop 8, can’t blame Maine on Mormons …”.

    So let them blame Maine on the Frenchies, who sold that least desirable of all places in Canastan to the US for a wagon load of bad Concord wine and a year’s worth of stale baggettes. It’s in all the history books. Truth.

  21. Jukesgrrl says at 6:08 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Johnny Zhivago: Who are Carly’s communication advisors? They make this announcement on a day any fool would know all media mavens will be busy “analyzing” yesterday’s election?? Way to get the public’s attention for your soon-to-be-brilliant campaign! Even Wonkette doesn’t have time for you, Carly. And we eagerly embrace utter FAIL.

  22. Sometimes I don’t think the wingnuts have any real policies, but instead just a copy of “The Great Big Quote Book…[i]for kids![/i]”

    I mean Warren G-Dub Harding is their quotable hero? Christ Al-fucking-mighty. Next they’re going to quote Upton Sinclair or Oswald Mosley as “great American [sic] patriots.”

  23. Potater: Italics fail.

    Further dangers of watching Sesame Street & their fellow travelers (from Breitbart’s ass):

    * Television shows steering children to left-infested “volunteer” web sites.
    * The NEA and White House Office of Public Engagement getting caught RED-handed rallying artists to the cause of Obama-led initiatives.
    * An onslaught of public schools teaching their students songs of praise for Barack Obama.
    * The simulcast speech by the President to school children with an attached lesson plan to teach our children how they can “help” the president.
    * The effort by the President’s top advisers to turn news agencies against the sole-voice of skepticism within the television media.

  25. DustBowlBlues says at 8:25 pm, November 4th, 2009

    The Sesame Street clip was from two years ago? This is the scary part: that the Republics are like sharks. Not cool, like endangered species shark week sharks, but like the never sleeps because they are always trying to kill something sharks. Do these people ever, ever take a fucking break and enjoy life? Or at least kick back with a bag of Fritos and have a laugh at their own expense?

    Shit. I just ate a giant piece of leftover lime cheesecake from the church dinner and I’m about to go into in a sugar coma. Now, I’m going to take a break and watch a movie. Because I’m a liberal, and I kick back once in a while.

    What the fuck is wrong with these people? They are never funny. They never laugh at themselves. Their only source of humor is when a doctor is murdered or a women’s clinic is bombed. Would Jeebus mind if I prayed that he rapture up all these idiots now, so would just leave the rest of us alone?

  26. chascates says at 8:37 pm, November 4th, 2009

    DustBowlBlues: I think they reason that there must be a vast conspiracy otherwise everyone would agree with them. There HAS to be a liberal media organized against them, encoded socialist messages in films and videos, Marxist professors brainwashing kids, and gays seducing elementary school kids.
    Otherwise they’d have to face the fact that it’s there ideas and attitudes that people really abhor despite their often successful efforts to cloud the issues.

  27. Guy Fawkesy says at 8:56 pm, November 4th, 2009

    Ah yes, the “GOP Renaissance” - it’s like the Harlem Renaissance sans the culards.
