America’s new Ted Kennedy, Senator Scott Brown, just can’t stop himself from enraging the tri-corner Internet lamers who rallied nationwide to help him defeat some Democrat lady who didn’t even really try to win. Brown’s latest treachery was voting to stop Republicans from preventing passage of the middle-of-the-road Financial Regulation bill. HOW COULD HE DO THIS WE THOUGHT HE LOVED THE REAL PRO-AMERICA AMERICA, etc. Let’s see how his “Facebook Wall” is standing up to the great patriotic Internet Lamer assault of July 2010.
Here is Scott Brown’s Facebook page, which might as well be written in Kenyan, right??!?
- You lie!
- Shame on you Senator Brown. I sure hope you are reading this board. Here’s the thing that should be glaring at you: The people who supported you and voted for you are disgusted with you, BUT !!!!!!! The people who voted against you and for Ms. Coakley are thrilled with your vote. That should speak volumes to you.
- What do you expect? You listen to mainstream media like FAUX news and this is what you get. I heard Hannity AND Rush call this guy a “real conservative” for WEEKS! Pull your head out of your a** America and start making decisions for yourself.
- You’re the biggest disappointment in a generation. You’re done! Good luck on your re-election…you’ll need it.
- I’LL BET I KNOW WHAT BARNEY GAVE YA!!!!
- I sent money to you, during your campaign because I thought you would be a big help–and I live in Florida–I wish now that I didn’t–you sure fooled alot of us–How could you vote for a bill when Dodd said it will affect every aspect of our lives–and no one will know how it actually works until it is in place? I am …not surprised that your other 2 cohorts voted with the libs—hopefully their days as polititians are numbered–unfortuantely–we have to wait 5 years for the end of your term!!!!
- Just looking at your lying face makes me want to regurgitate….gotta’ go now…find a toilet!
- Mr Scott Brown – I want my 50.00 back that I sent you. You lied to us, you are a liar.
Please send me my money back ASAP.
SCOTT BROWN LET LUS DOWN. hE IS A FANATICAL LIB. I COULD REALLY CRY. THIS IS A SAD DAY INDEED FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. YOU ARE A TRAITOR. - Thanks for nothing Brown!!!!! What a total dissappointment you are!
Dudes in the park pulling 3 card monty aint got nothin’ on you!! You fleeced all of New England AND the American people! You are the worst joke pulled on us besides that bafoon Obimbo. If you had 1 ounce of self respedt left, you would resign and hand …your spot in congress over to someone who actually has the courage to not to be a Bama lap puppy. - You sir, are a marxist Tool now
- Thanks a hell of a lot ass hole…..I knew you were a rhino….Anyone for Mass. has to be a closet liberal…..
- RINO is all I have to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a bunch to you the new Mr. Spector!!!!!
- I think the only time you showed our true colors was when you posed nude for Cosmo. “The People’s Seat????”….indeed! There will come a day when the people will want it back.

Well, this is an unfortuante turn of events for Nudist-American Scott Brown.
This is the sort of thing that makes English teachers feel their lives have been a waste.
My, my, the fringers really do have a temper don’t they? Well, we have to have some sympathy for them. A cranky prostate and hot flashes are enough to drive a body to the computer-thingy in frustration. Why, I remember when my Social Security Check AND my Medicare reimbursement were both late at the same time. I threw such a hissy fit you could hear me all the way to Bear Creek! Well, gotta go; my Dick Cheney prayer group is ready to start chanting…
I just hope I’m never on a jury with any of these people. Or worse, having them set in judgment of me.
Good grief, I thought they all left his Facebook page already.
Hee hee – America’s greatest terrorist! Also, too, RRJ is right – this gives English teachers a sad…
The scariest part is that the people who live and die by having a secret channel of real truth now think that FoxNews is liberal. One can only assume that they are listening to survivalists and Klansmen.
Scott Brown: Here is the TEA Party’s success case.
(Unless Random Paul wins, and, if he does, we’re really screwed.)
Someone should tell these people that America is not a democracy; it’s a bourgeois republic.
Must be the same people commenting who wrote all the poetry on Palin’s site. TrigTard.org or whatever it’s called.
Teabaggers angry
Hate Fed Taxes and Wall St
Yet, Wall St’s Stooges
But are his daughters still available?
Who is LUS? And, how did Scott Brown let hIM down?

I bet Barney gave him a “Boston Babysitter.”
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Boston+babysitter
In fairness to Barney, that is the most vile and randy thing I’ve read all day.
Teabaggers are getting better at exclamations ! Getting worse at CAPSLoCK. This should be neutral for the English teachers. Their disappointment had set in awhile ago.
“Post your credit card numbers here on the Senator’s Facebook page and we’ll be sure to send you your money back as soon as possible.”
“I’LL BET I KNOW WHAT BARNEY GAVE YA!!!!”
All due respect to Barney Frank, and power being the ultimate etc., but srsly, what could Barney give Mr. Richie Rich Scott Brown to, uh, turn him? I mean, a blowjob’s a blowjob, but Barney turned 70 in March. Even if he took his store teeth out and…what? WHAT? What did I say?
[re=619654]Lazy Media[/re]: Don’t worry, we’re just making appointments to, er, interview Senator Frank on this topic.
If I didn’t have to “like” him to post on his wall, I would write to all these asshats:
THATS WHAT U GET FOR DONATING TO A CANDIDATE THAT DOESN’T REPRESENT YOU, YOU STOOPID IGNORANT LEMMING FUCKTARDS. NOW SHUT UP AND BLOW ME BECAUSE I DESERVE IT
[re=619652]Hemp Dogbane[/re]: They have problems with excrements and Das Kapital as well.
These comments make me feel all warm inside.
(And I can’t get the shit-eating grin off my face.)
[re=619657]tootsieroll[/re]: Can’t you immediately “unlike” him? Which is, like, the ultimate insult evar?
[re=619660]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: true. I am just afraid in the meantime people might see the evidence. I lead a double life you see.
[re=619661]tootsieroll[/re]: I was already having trouble resisting the urge to lick you without knowing about that bit of sexiness.
[re=619652]Hemp Dogbane[/re]: Perhaps Neilist can cap them with a CAPS-Glock?
Does anyone else think that the Koch family and the other rightwing types bankrolling the “movement” are trying to time this so that it peaks and fails before the next presidential election so the nutters return to the fold and vote reliably republican? I’m probably over analyzing this, they probably think that a populist movement fighting for the wealthy to pay less taxes and for the poor to have less access to education, food, shelter and work is really a viable permanent political movement. Of course it seems to have worked for the republicans for the last 50 years or so.
“You listen to mainstream media like FAUX [FOX] news and this is what you get.”
Okay, that — Fox being the “mainstream media” — eaped right out at me. In the context of “Man, it’s really neat when they start eating their own, isn’t it?”
On a semi-related point: I was over in Westwood this morning, and overheard a 50ish white woman (assuming, arguendo, that Iranian/Jewish is “White” — which, admittedly is a stretch) saying that she would like to shoot Obama.
I politely ventured that Obama would be easier to kill than the last President — given that the latter is invulnerable to any head shot (there being nothing up there to damage).
And she got OFFENDED!
And this was before I got around to offering the historical fact that the Germans came up with gas chambers because it was too expensive, in terms of ammunition costs, simply to shoot the Juden.
You just can’t reason with some people . . . .

[re=619664]Rotundo[/re]: I’ve been thinking the Kochs and Roger Ailes want a GOP so rabid and right-wing that even blue dog democrats look like socialists. Once they control everything from the city councils and state leges on up their style of fascism will be triumphant.
[re=619663]weejee[/re]: Not enough mag capacity, Weejee. Even with the pre-Ban hi-cap factory original mags.
You need something belt-fed, at a minimum. But I was once told: “You use a pistol to fight your way back to the rifle or shotgun you should have had in the first place.”
To which I added: “And you use the rifle or shotgun to fight your way back to the jeep or APC so that you can drive back to the firebase, and/or call in the airstrike or artillery any sensible person would use to deal with the problem — FROM A DISTANCE.”
Good times. Good times.

[re=619664]Rotundo[/re]: Teabaggers are ALL Republicans. All teabagging does is get them to turn out, and occasionally nominate whackos in Republican primaries, but they’re just a subset of Republicans. All a RINO candidate has to do is pay a little lip service to cutting social spending, and they’ll fall right in line (see anti-abortion nuts).
Perotistas and Andersonians were considerably more bipartisan. Blue Dog Democrats do not teabag, even the racist ones, because they hate rich people as much as anyone else.
[re=619669]Neilist[/re]: Dude, have you ever been under indirect fire? ‘Cause if you ask me, that shit isn’t funny.
I clicked through the names of these idiots. Precisely zero of them that show their info are living in MA, and I’d venture to say that of the ones that have their info hidden, none of them live in MA either. The couple that actually were residents of MA supported Brown’s vote.
It’s so typical of these idiots to rant at a senator that isn’t even their own representative about how he hasn’t represented them. MA isn’t exactly teabagger central. As a senator of a very liberal state, voting against these things it political suicide. As it is, he caught a whoopin’ over voting against unemployment benefits. But sure, he should totally ignore the people whose votes he needs and go with the ranting morons from Kansas and Florida. That is excellent political strategy.
[re=619671]Lazy Media[/re]: Only those 122 mm rockets. (You know, the “Goes Anywhere But Where It Was Aimed” kind?)
And mortars, of course.
Oh, and “friendly fire.” Nothing more dangerous than an ROTC-trained 2nd Lt., who almost flunked out of Ft. Sill, calling in Arty “support.”
But why do you ask? It sure seems funny . . . nowadays, anyway.
The day, some time in late 2007 or early 2008, when the greasily-glistening overweight 17-year-old Hot Topic-sheathed teenagers of America briefly stopped making blingees of their babies to show their parents how to use facebook and the comment section of Time magazine may turn out to be the most eventful day in American politics. Finally, the misinformed and half-thought ramblings of our nation’s silent majority are available to those who don’t listen to AM radio or talk to strangers in line at Piggly Wiggly. Rejoice, America.
[re=619675]Neilist[/re]: Good times indeed.
In the day, our radios couldn’t talk to the fast fliers, so often we had to have our people, call their people to call them, cause they couldn’t hear us scream, YOU’RE DROPPING THE FUCKING ORD A HUNDRED YARDS SHORT!!!!
[re=619667]NYNYNY[/re]: Fitee? Our records indicate that your donation was, in fact, a few expired coupons and half a sammich.
Thank you for your lack of support and we hope you remember Senator Brown the next time you vote. In South Dakota.
[re=619678]weejee[/re]: Lazy Media clearly is a callow youth. He still thinks that how one gets killed actually makes a difference.
Or that what one gets killed for makes a difference.
Ah, the Sweet Bird of Youth!
[Gosh. That almost sounded . . . bitter. And from Neilist, too . . . that ASSHOLE.]
[re=619669]Neilist[/re]: “And the ground flowed like water under the hammer of the guns.” I read that somewhere and asked my father about it. He said yes, that’s what happens.
[re=619684]x111e7thst[/re]: War Poetry — particularly some of the Great War poets — sometimes gets close to it. But you need to add in something about the smell.
Hemingway wrote something — it may be in “For Whom The Bell Tolls” — about the “Smell of Death” being like the breath of the toothless old whore who lives off the blood of the bulls killed in the arena.
But for me, it’s more of a combination of burning diesel oil and shit. Wherever you go in the Zone, you always seem to be downwind of burning shit.
Sometimes the burning shit is in situ . . . but ideally that’s one of the hostiles Going Barbecue, and not one of your buddies.
Ah, good times. Good times. To be young again, like Lazy Media.
How is anyone supposed to take these folks seriously if they don’t talk good English. How difficult is it, really, to type “SCOTT BROWN IS A N*GGERLOVER” ???
Come on tea baggers, I know you can do it. Just stop thinking about your daughter’s/sister’s/mother’s luscious women bits for a moment or two, rub those two functioning braincells you have together, and see what you can manage.
The world waits with bated breath!
[re=619670]Lazy Media[/re]: I agree with that, but they also drive so far to the right side with candidates that they aren’t palatable to the non-insane slim majority of us. I liken the exercise to shaking up the crazies and letting them froth, then letting them come back home to the merely far right. They’ll get all excited and will be voting for Rand this round, but voting for Mittens for the next presidential election rather than Rand’s daddy. Bait and switch. Then again, fascists probably think they’re in the majority anyhow and the Kochs are going to double down on the crazy.

If any of these fools had actually read his website before they gave him money or voted for him they would have known what they were getting since it was all there plain as day.

[re=619712]BarackMyWorld[/re]: But now they’re against any Wall Street reform.
They want government subsidies without government regulations. That’s what the S&Ls had when they went bust in 1989. Back then, people said that the banks and insurance companies were next. Well, they were next. It just took another 20 years. And what’s next after the banks and insurance companies? Nothing. That’s the end of the line. So we just have to keep on bailing them out without regulating them. It’s our duty, as Americans.

[re=619721]Aurelio[/re]: So when corporations were equated with being individuals with regard to rights just before the turn of the last century, by a clerk, not the whole court (not that it would have mattered)they became people. Now they have become “People” who are “Too big to fail”. So who knew we had created a new class with reduced legal exposure for things like negligent homicide fraud, etc. and huge amounts of money to “speak freely” during elections that will be guaranteed money no matter how supremely they fuck up? Golly goshkins ‘murka, we gots us an aristocracy and we dint even know it! And we even take to the streets with mispelled hand written signs fighting for the right of our “betters” (perhaps “bettors” would be more correct) to screw us even more. God Bless ‘Murka!1!!!1!!!
“You fleeced all of New England”

[re=619730]Rotundo[/re]: Now they have become “People” who are “Too big to fail”.
Just like that 3-story tall gay dude, right?
[re=619702]weejee[/re]: I mean, I’m one of those Marxist academics they always warn kids about, so to be it’s just that the ideology of the elites is working surprisingly well, so that the masses are just yelling “please, rape me harder! save me from the evil man by giving me ass-burn!”. And it’s got a great anti-intellectual streak built-in, so people just automatically dismiss arguments made from history / economics / social sciences, etc, because ELITISM, and so forth. Of course we don’t help their intellectualism by calling them retards or cavemen, but gah, it’s so frustrating sometimes!
Financial reform seems like such an odd thing to unite about – it’s definitely not very main street. There have been a lot of changes in the U.S. over the past 100 years, and there’s good reasons for there to be an amount of existential angst among blue-collar whites, especially rural ones; Obama was probably the first recent politician to actually acknowledge this in his campaign “race” speech. But how these angst over lose of jobs, rapid technological and social change, and a growing unease over what it means to be “American” gets translated into support for wall street – it’s alchemy, it’s brilliant, it’s devious, and it’s infuriating.
His hairstyle a mullet
Much beer in his gullet
He’s spewing of taxes and ghey
We’re in a recession
No jobs bring depression
But Cletus keeps a spewing away
But how can it be so
Taxes a fifty year low
How they get our poor boy so deranged
Economic logic
Can’t cut through his collic
So Cletus keeps spewing his rage
But deep in the slog
Of our own Wonkette blog
Typing of teatards and snark
Someone for fun
Pulled a shotgun
And blasts rang out in the dark
Now the story is told
Of that night oh so bold
When Cletus stopped spewing his rage
Who fired the shot
That stopped all his snot
The answer is here on this page

[re=619742]Mad Brahms[/re]: The weird thing is that Brown said all along that he might be the 60th vote as well as he would be the 41st vote, depending on the topic. These folks who are complaining about him not only didn’t vote for him and don’t live in Massachusetts, but they obviously weren’t paying attention too closely to begin with. But that’s the Republican big tent for ya.
Oh and why not let’s liveblog this McCain-Hayworth-Deakin madness? And y’all can watch too, it doesn’t have to be just me. Aren’t the rest of you as masochistic as I am? And Jack Stuef really needs to get a Jim Deakin exclusive interview before it’s too late. And I think I even spelled Stuef right this time.
Here’s the livefeed for the debate:
http://ondemand.azpm.org/live/
Oh shit — our moderator is Bill Buckmaster. The debate will be in a free-for-all porn format…
[re=619772]SayItWithWookies[/re]: they obviously weren’t paying attention too closely to begin with.
Sad to say, the same thing is true of some of my liberal brethren who thought Obama was the great leftist hope. But it’s much funnier to see the righties flipping out over Scott Brown.
it must be weird to live in the binary world of the reich-wingers. They really think a single vote can turn a teabagger like Brown into an ultra-left Marxist commie?
Q: Who is the most conservative?
Deakin: I’ve run a business. Requisite cliches follow. Ooh, denunciation of No Child Left Behind.
JD Hayorth talks about the most conservative candidate in the third person. Then blows it. Grammar fail/legitimacy win for Hayworth.
McCain: Everyone with conservative cred endorsed me. JD Hayworth is an infomercial whore. I’m proud of my conservative record. Mayors, sherrifs, the farm bureau, the Alliance of Blonde Lobbyists with Sex Toys.
Dick Buttmaster wants us to have some rebuttals.
Holy crap — Deakin discovered the power to speak in complete sentences overnight.
Now we have a border control issue. Bigmaster wants to know why, if patrols are up and apprehensions are down, why there’s a problem. Hayworth answers by disparaging McCain for some totally unrelated and incomprehensible issue. Then says John McCain said we can’t secure the border. “We have to have our troops on the border — our standing military.” Wait — a teabagger is in favor of violating posse comitatus? This man’s an idiot.
Sorry I’m probably repeating here, but . . . Where is your savior now, bitches?!?
McCain invokes car bombing in Juarez again: “Which gives it a whole Middle Eastern flavor.” Oh, my.
Deakin: They’ve both failed. “In 1996, they both voted for amnesty.” Border border border. E-verify all social programs. Hey, two teabaggers come out in favor of more intrusive government in less than two minutes. Meteor to land on Arizona in 3…2…1…
A Republican was elected to office with the help of a reactionary pressure group and then (gasp) voted against that group’s wishes? All I can say is…
HA!
HA!!!
HA!!!!!
GET USED TO IT, SUCKAS!
(signed)
The Moral Majority
McCain is now proud of the AZ freak-out-the-browns act. Is that new? I don’t remember him saying that before.
Deakin says we should make the Fed enforce the laws that are already on the books.
Hayworth says it’s new tha McCain endorses SB 1070. Wow he sounds like a pompous blowhard.
Q: Should we have comprehensive immigration reform and what should it include?
McCain: Jim Deakin is right. So you Deakin fans vote for me instead of that hornswaggler Hayworth. I knew a soldier who was a green card holder whose mother was in this country illegally. I’m not going to deport her. Arizonans, head to your fallout shelters.
Deakin: Immigration/migration dichotomy needs to be properly defined. I guess this means alien worker cards or something.
Hayworth: My opponents now both endorse amnesty. Regularize. Offer illegals incentives and regularize them. McCain loves brown people.
We have a moment of mirth about the complicated rules for the debate. Mr. Deakin the Contractor gets in a few licks before the clock starts. Both my opponents have failed. The illegals are in a mass exodus from Arizona. He seems to be the only person who’s heard this.
McCain: “There he goes again.” This time to Dick Buttmaster about who gets the rebuttal. John McCain is virtually indistinguishable from Ronald Reagan.
[re=619783]SayItWithWookies[/re]: This one was 50,000 years ago so maybe they’re due:
http://www.meteorcrater.com/
Q: to Deakin: Has the Federal government overstepped its authority?
Deakin rises to the bait, “The Senator says he believes in global warming” — newsflash — Deakin thinks 117 degrees in the shade is just fine! Teachers need a living wage.
Hayworth: Historians will look back at the 20th century and see the rise of the fourth branch of government — the regulatory bureaucracy. Every regulation should be brought before Congress for an up-or-down vote. Jesus, this guy could run a lemonade stand into the ground, much less a legislature.
McCain, senator since 1492: Of course the government has overstepped its bounds. Please pass the opium.
McCain is laying into Hayworth: His free-money thing “was a terrible scam. This was a terrible ripoff.”
Deakin: They both did it. This man has simplified his message. Why answer many questions when you can answer the same one over and over again?
All I can say is Wonkette lacks The Chicago Tribune blog: THE SWAMP; C. Morris and Don Fitzgerald’s commentaries/posts. They can be priceless.
Hayworth gets economic stimulus question, answers by attacking McCain for lying about stuff. Cut taxes and cut government spending.
McCain: Stop spending and cut taxes. I was endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce. None of those people has endorsed Hayworth. They get hot blonde lobbyists to give me blowjobs. They don’t give blowjobs to JD Hayworth. A womaan got kicked out of her home — therefore we need a tax holiday for small businesses. I led against Obamacare, this that and the other thing. Lost each one, but I was a leader.
Deakin doesn’t want to cut regulations, he wants to dismantle them. And get back to the Articles of Confederation like the Constitution demands.
[re=619791]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
Thanks for the link… I think. Clueless assholes.
Deakin is a tea party activist. McCain never said once “read the bill.” Therefore he’s part of the problem. Insurance companies and manufacturers are overburdened. Deakin is speaking in complete sentences but not interesting ones.
Hayworth: I was just endorsed by the East Valley Tea Party. Uh….
Q to McCain: Afghanistan exit strategy — what should it look like?
I swear I am not making this up: he answered that the Afghanistan exit strategy should look like the Iraq exit strategy. But we said we were going to leave. Uncertain trumpet. If we try hard, we can enjoy the same success that we enjoyed in Iraq. This man makes General Westmoreland look like Cassandra.
McCain: No one follows an uncertain trumpet???????
Deakin: We must use trade policies to build democracy in Afghanistan. Jim Deakin does not know what any of those words means.
Holy shit — Hayworth invokes the “heroic restraint medal” meme (look it up — teabagger email nonsense) to criticize Obama’s lack of understanding about the war. Hayworth says our torture policy allows the terrorists to know what we’re going to do to them. So invasive government stops where a brown body begins.
Deakin: We didn’t officially declare war. Deakin thinks we should penalize the US with a six-sided die roll against our charisma.
Hayworth: We souldn’t try terrorists in US courts. Uh — teabaggers oppose the right of habeas corpus?
McCain actually comes out against torture. Holy crap, and now he says the president should be allowed to torture on a case-by-case basis if he personally takes repsonsibility.
I don’t think Deakin ever kissed a girl.
Q: If you oppose healthcare bill, what would you have done?
Deakin: We give healthcare to illegal immigrants. Young people don’t want healthcare forced on them.
Hayworth: “Of course we have a program for the medicare indigent.” No I don’t know what that means. John McCain has aided and abetted soaring healthcare costs with his amnesty bill. I sponsored healthcare savings accounts. Those are the things where you basically put your extra money in a jar under your bed and use it if you have to go to the hospital.
Groucho Marx quote!
Socialist!!1!
McCain: Healthcare is too expensive. We fought Obamacare. Medical malpractice reform. This is making me nostalgic. Next January we’ll begin the repeal and replace. John McCain pretends to be crazy.
Hayworth: If you delayed long enough, Robert Byrd would’ve died and the bill could’ve been defeated. No he didn’t say that, but that’s the only way his argument would’ve worked.
McCain invokes Groucho Marx (“You can believe him or your own lying eyes,” which I’m not sure is G. Marx, but whatever).
Deakin: Does he say they both lied? No — he invokes Rahm Emanuel — uh, Hayworth worked with Emanuel to increase taxes on songwriters. What?
Interesting Q: If you had to take one thing that bothered you the most tonight to set the record straight, what would it be? Go.
Hayworth — McCain said that when given the choice between losing and lying, I chose lying.
McCain — I’m reminded of advice from Bob Dole: Never get into a wrestling match with a pig — you both get dirty and the pig likes it. I didn’t do enough for the men and women who served. I’m proud of my record with veterans.
Deakin: As a citizen candidate, you should learn about me. Now he’s being coy about announcing his website, JimDeakin.com. He hasn’t said it yet — he might run out of time! Vote your principles. Come on Jim! He didn’t say it!
20 second rebuttal.
McCain: Jobs and the economy. Uncertain trumpet. We have to stand up and meet challenges. I’m worried about our leadership in the White House.
Hayworth: I sound like Jim Belushi. You should’ve helped my veterans’ bill.
Deakin: I was stuck with your GI bill, Hayworth, and you shouldn’t be proud of that one. Heh.
[re=619776]imissopus[/re]: “Sad to say, the same thing is true of some of my liberal brethren who thought Obama was the great leftist hope”
Personally I was hoping, since he’s a smart feller, he’d figure out that the watered down centrist bipartisan reach-around crap was crap, and that he needed to take a more aggressively left-wing approach. Well, I guess I’m still waiting for him to figure that out.
In the meantime I’m feeling pretty sheepish for getting all worked up about Barack vs. Hillary, since the main diff is that the hysterical opposition is creepily racist rather than creepily sexist.

[re=619806]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]:Girls everywhere are deliriously happy.
Final Statements:
McCain: I celebrated Independence Day in Afghanistan, a country we have kept safe since 9/11. Someone from Tucson died when he was 20. Chris Moon. In either Afghanistan or Iraq, but now everyone is going to be sober because McCain invoked a dead soldier.
Hayworth: John McCain has served us a long time. But we’ve grown apart. Amnesty. Bailout. Cap and Trade. Tax cuts I helped write — John voted against them. I really loved working for the old John McCain — this one is like John Kerry. I was endorsed by pigfucker Joe Arpaio.
Deakin: Lighten the mood. Popsicles. I left the Navy and moved to Arizona. I was cursed and had to carry an oar until someone asked me what that was, and I ended up here. My opponents voted for tax cuts, but they voted to increase taxes on my children, my grandchildren and my great-great-grandchildren. Call me. I don’t have a staff. He’s talking to you, Jack Stuef! Call him.
Bill Buckmaster says goodnight, and watch his next film, Buckmaster does Buckingham.
SCOTT BROWN, THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’M LEAVING YOU. IF YOU GET RAPED BY A PACK OF “SOCIALISTS”, IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT!!
Hayworth needs a good face punch or thirty.
McCain is useless.
Deakin is the least of three piles of shit.
But hey, I live in Minnesota, Land-O-Bachmann.
[re=619815]x111e7thst[/re]:
Yeah. I know I am.
Okay, basically everybody polished their message and their talking style a bit after that weird and jumpy debate last night. Aside from that, Hayworth endorses torture, and McCain does too, under certain circumstances. We didn’t hear God mentioned even once, which is a little odd, but maybe the candidates didn’t feel they had to appeal to a national stage, and when the national teabaggers aren’t looking nobody cares if you don’t mention The LORD, maybe? I don’t know.
In the final analysis, I think the only person who was helped was Deakin, but he’s also such a Paultard on so many issues (a real tenther, for instance — he said at one point that most of the federal government’s functions should rightly devolve to the states) that he can only get so popular. Hayworth, on the other hand, displayed an ineptness at history and economy that is typical of the damn tea partiers, who allegedly study these two disciplines rigorously. McCain will win, but he didn’t distinguish himself at all in this debate — but then again, he just had to avoid saying anything completely ridiculous and let his opponents hang themselves.
A Story of Hope for Wonketeers
I live in MA. I’m 60 yrs old and have been a commie pinko liberal all my life. [Welcome, Barrelhse. Keep coming]. No, no- I’m PROUD of it! That was to preface my remarks, which are: I was raised in Maine by parents who were New England Republicans, conservatives from way back. We never, ever discuss politics because of the dichotomy in our points-of view. HOWEVER, my mother, while on the phone yesterday, informed me that they have become a bleeding-heart liberals. And she was serious. Apparently the Bush years took a toll on my parent’s credibility, both politically and intellectually. My parents are bright people, and even in their upper 80′s can discern pyrite from gold. The Republican party, for them, has become unsupportable because they see it for the empty shell it has become, devoid of ANYTHING. I did wonder why they wouldn’t choose an alternative. My mother said “all we see are mean people or foolish people, and we decided we’d like to be kind, instead, with the time we have left”. And they’re not even religious!
Blew me the fuck away. It’s a true story- I’m incredibly proud to have them as parents. I’m a little embarrassed to post this because it’s rather corny. I hoped there would be a little inspiration in the thought that, indeed, not everyone is swallowing the pablum- some even flee.
[re=619822]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And I thank you again.
[re=619823]Barrelhse[/re]: Well good on them!
And my name is Scotty Brown,
Watch me now, I’m goin’ down!
[re=619823]Barrelhse[/re]:
Ya hear that all you under-age libtard wipper snappers that keep ragging on the olds?
I propose we don’t send Mr Barrelhse parents to the death panels just yet. Sounds like we could get another round of votes out of them.
I don’t know anybody from Massachusetts but I knew a lot of people in South Carolina and Mississippi who thought his election was the second coming of Jesus. I guess they were wrong.
Also, why did some Facebook person compare Scott Brown to Phil Spector?
i love the wonkette.
Now, now, I thought we had an unspoken agreement that we don’t make fun of the mentally retarded.
sayitwithwookies: You left out my favorite part! McCain, three times, ripped out a page from his notebook. Right under the microphone. RRRRRRRRRIP right when somebody would start talking.
They showed him doing it once and then the next two times you just heard loud RRRRRRRRIP.
[re=619664]Rotundo[/re]: You could be right, but I also think that’s why they/Koch/Tea Party Express/TPN astroturfers sent Palin out there to tell them to keep voting R. If they hadn’t, the dumbbulbswould have all gone Paulinoid/Campaign 4 Liberty, which is against a lot of GOP positions.
[re=619835]J[/re]: No, we’ve no such agreement. It’s never even been suggested. Making fun of the mentally challenged is at the heart of everything we do, from Trig Palin to the Teatards the idea that the trailing third of the intelligence bell curve is fair game is why there even is a Wonkette.
Scott Brown you **** with a **** on your ****! I’m coming over to **** your **** with a ****!
But you will blow me first.
[re=619666]Neilist[/re]: the Germans came up with gas chambers because it was too expensive, in terms of ammunition costs, simply to shoot the Juden.
That was part of it. The other part was that commanders were complaining to Himmler and Keitel that their troops were being traumatized by having to shoot unarmed civilians at close range. Not to mention Repetitive Stress Disorder of the trigger finger.
I think we could update this by telling the Tea Klux Klanners about the concert starring Mooselini, Rusch Limpballs, Pawn Hannity, Rascal Flatts, and Lee Greenwood — but first, step into this little room over here and pick up your free handguns.
Not that there’s anything wrong with free handguns!
[re=619836]Palace of Jackals[/re]: I didn’t notice. Maybe it didn’t come across on the livefeed or maybe I wasn’t paying attention. Does John McCain use a spiral notebook? That’s weirder than weird.
I did completely not mention that at the beginning of last night’s debate McCain wailed on Hayworth for being a huckster and doing that fraudulent infomercial. It was a petty and mean-spirited tirade and I didn’t even notice it because, having heard the McCain-Obama debates, this was nothing new and had no factual content. So I totally let it slide. I just expected McCain to be that mean.

[re=619843]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I thought you were talking about Friday night’s debate. I’m just now seeing they are doing a roundtable debate on…I don’t know what this is. I sat through the whole thing on Friday, I can stands no more. My retinas are stained with the Hi-Def head of J.D. Hayworth.
[re=619848]Palace of Jackals[/re]: They did two consecutive nights of debates. It’s like some total-immersion debate freakout thing.

WWCR I suppose. I remember running across WRNO on SW playing Rush and personal screaming right wing, and then I hit… it: this vanity screamer, “Aimin’ straight at the heart of Cuba, and I’ll keep doin’ it till I die.” And then there is WWCR.
SW is relatively cheap, propagates weirdly and wildly, and gives the fervent and febrile an added sense of having a secret decoder ring whereby they get the real truth that They don’t want you to know. I used to listen to SW and keep in touch with the propaganda from USSR and PRC and, silliest of all, Radio Tirana, just to add information to my world, but I never thought I was getting the secret truth.
The Facers will really go mad dog when they learn that Brown hums show tunes, reads Elle Decor while sipping Chateau Neuf and has traded in his pickup for a beige Peugot. It will get even worse once they discover that Beano has been pulled from the market by the FDA.

[re=619862]Geogre[/re]: great song, what would be the correct time period in which this was popular?
[re=619866]La Lixa[/re]: The original “My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean” is an old Scottish folk tune. Bonnie may possibly refer to Bonnie Prince Charlie.
My father, who fought on the Italian front in WW2, says the song was very popular with the British and their colonial troops. Hearing the Gurkhas sing it was apparently particularly interesting.
[re=619680]Neilist[/re]: No, I’m an old fart, too, just in a younger man’s job (comes of being enlisted for 16 years before getting a commission).

So, Scott IS sending all their donations back, right?

[re=619864]S.Luggo[/re]: Jeez, out of this whole forum, Mr. Sluggo’s remarks about Beano sent me to the intertubes to verify that Beano had been pulled from the market by the FDA.

He still has that pick up truck going for him.
Which is nice.
[re=619822]SayItWithWookies[/re]: So let’s say I’ve given up on Hayworth on being able to cannibalize McCain for us. Think there’s any chance he’s made enough of a fool of himself here, or made enough enemies, that the Democrat (whoever that is) has a credible shot at him after the primary?
[re=619737]Mad Brahms[/re]: What I’m wondering is if they’re really particularly against the finance bill or if it’s just the reflex of opposing anything the Democrats do. Boehner’s insane “let’s repeal it” thing aside (because do even the tea partiers listen to Boehner?) I wonder if the finance bill after a couple months is going to quietly move from the “we oppose it” column to the “we’re pretending it never happened” column.

Thanks y’all — I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hayworth and McCain together in one room was just the mac & cheese of crazy, so that was damn irresistible. And Deakin was the marshmallows melted on top.
[re=619881]mcc[/re]: He definitely swung further to the right in this debate — he’s now allowing that torture can be okay if the president says so on an individual basis; he’s in favor of Arizona’s new SB1070 whereas before he hadn’t taken a firm stand on it; And his idea that Iraq is now some sort of roaring success and is a template to be followed makes him look myopic if not idiotic. So he’s given Arizona Democrats plenty of ammunition. Whether enough swing voters care is the question — I’m not informed enough about AZ elections to venture a guess.
[re=619883]user-of-owls[/re]: [re=619886]chascates[/re]: Aw shucks guys, it wasn’t anything special — anybody with that particular combination of known toxins and psychoactive chemicals for the past two nights would’ve done exactly the same thing.
[re=619885]Neilist[/re]: John McCain’s rosy summary of how successful Iraq is/was (he seems to think it’s been won and that nation is now a thriving, peaceful democracy exporting vast quantities of oil to us and Bibles and American flags to its neighbors) is so ridiculously far from reality that, by comparison, lying pollyanna William Westmoreland comes off as dour but accurate doomsayer Cassandra. My apologies, since after re-reading that, my succinctness could obviously have meant several differnt things.
[re=619889]SayItWithWookies[/re]: >My apologies
So we might have to think to doubt your competence and goodwill? Smiley. That’s not what I’d term ‘thinking’…it’s digging a parenthetical and parænetical hole.
“The Oriental doesn’t put the same high price on life as does a Westerner.” Denying, in public, that we were engaged in a parochial Vietnamese civil war, with a civil war’s casualties…in 1974! Denials are apt enough here, in my opinion. (If Westmoreland’s comments were called controversial, that’s an epiphenomenal observation; they’re in-famous.)
Those Facebook remarks were pretty lame, up to the one that called him “the new Mr. Spector.” Now THAT’S an insult.
[re=619714]sati demise[/re]: Thank you. [re=619843]SayItWithWookies[/re]: And thank you to you, too.
[re=619881]mcc[/re]: If the Democrats had a credible candidate, yes, they might take McCain down. But they don’t. And Tim Kaine is an ineffective asshat, so double-no.
[re=619823]Barrelhse[/re]: It’s not corny. It brought me, dare I say, hope. Blessings on your ma and pa, and you for bringing them around by modeling liberalism as the opposite of hate.

[re=619895]user-of-owls[/re]: This will probly draw some groans from our right-brained illuminai, but how about Quarks? Although today perhaps best know in the fizzics of Gell-Mann, they first popped-up in “Finnegan’s Wake” with Three quarks for Muster Mark!. In fact Dr. Gell-Mann, initially thinking of a sound made by a duck, settled on the spelling during a re-read of Joyce’s book.
Quarks come in six flavors; up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Each flavor comes in three colors; red, green, and blue just like what we see on the intertubes. Quarks would be blend of literature and science with a healthy embrace of the truly nuttiness of the quantum. Sounds like Wonkette to me.
Do I have to friend Scott to point out to the WATBs that IF THEY HAD READ HIS VOTING RECORD THEY WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED RIGHT NOW. Or disappointed. Well, the disappointment is undoubtedly chronic for that crowd, so forget that.

If my experience is any guide, I don’t think you need to worry about teabaggers on a jury.
There is a period of time where the judge asks people, under oath, if they can be impartial, but doesn’t demand a reason. A couple of people speak up and begin to offer an excuse (“18 months ago I was rap…”, “OK, no need to state a reason, you are dimissed”).
At that point, most every 50-something white male sporting white tennis shoes, golf shirts and donkey calves realizes that this is his chance to get out of his civic fucking duty, and bails. I think those are the teabaggers.
[re=619906]x111e7thst[/re]: Well to be fair, the closest I’ve come to getting beaten up in a bar recently was when an Iraq war vet and his pals sat down next to me and he proceeded to ask me questions and took many of my answers personally — and none of it was about subatomic particles.
[re=619907]Darkness[/re]: I still can’t get my head around gravitons. The idea that there are particles that carry discrete portions of the gravitational force around makes absolutely no sense to me.
[re=619903]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Well it would be more along the line of whether Wonkette is a force to be reckoned with – the Godly Higgs, or whether Wonkette matters – the quark. Or perhaps Wonkette is a farce to be reckoned with and that’s what matters so we should all impale our bods with high chrome trucknutz studs.

[re=619889]SayItWithWookies[/re]: “lying pollyanna William Westmoreland comes off as dour but accurate doomsayer Cassandra . . . .”
Oh.
You know, in this weird way, and from this distance, I feel kinda sorry for Westmoreland. (If I’m in that Half-A-Bottle-Of-Whisky-Looking-At-Old-Photos kinda mood.)
Wesmoreland rose to his position via WWII, and the Korean War. Nothing in his experience, or U.S. military history, prepared him for Vietnam, and the fact the U.S. Army doctrines that were drummed into his head (staring back when he was commanding the artillery unit that got assigned to the 101st Airborne before D-Day) had absolutely no chance whatsoever of working in Vietnam.
In contrast, people like McCain (and McChrystal, and Paetreus) know better – or fucking well ought to know better. Although, in fairness, McCain was a fuckup fighter pilot without any training in “Real Warfare.” He can fall back on the “Too Stupid To Know Better” excuse.
Also, he’s senile. In other words, a “natural” for Senior Senator from the Copper State.

The only story I have that is even close is that of my conservative older brother, who saw the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina (over the TV; few in my family have been south of the Mason-Dixon) and expressed dismay and disillusionment by the Bush Admin’s unwillingness/inability to do anything for the people of New Orleans.
FYI – he’s still a Republican. I think it’s the influence of his wife. Aaargh!
Often, I think people were brought up with prejudices, and, despite the goodness of their hearts and souls, don’t know how to get rid of them. My mother, as good and kind a person as you will ever meet, is nonetheless suspicious of the Mexican immigrants who have crept into my hometown more and more over the years.
Also (from an English instructor accustomed to correcting speaking errors) the word you need is “credulity,” not “credibility.”
[re=619909]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Someone’s gotta carry the gravity. Hey, and isn’t that Wonkette’s dream, except The Wonkette cannot in the end tolerate carrying the gravity seriously?
[re=619910]weejee[/re]: furry truck nutz.
In all colors including day-glow
[re=619897]weejee[/re]: Quarks have definite cool. The Higgs bosun (“God particle”) is too inherently theocratic, protons are only getting smaller, and gravity, of course, sucks.
[re=619918]Barrelhse[/re]: That’s funny, cuz Hoover sucked too.
[re=619828]serj![/re]: With a spindle up his butt till it makes him scream!
[re=619908]President Inaugural Balls[/re]: I was called for jury duty after the 2008 election and one guy (with a big, booming voice) announced that he got his news from talk radio. And added that now Obama would be President we’d all be living under socialism. He didn’t get picked. I did. At least I didn’t have to serve with him.
[re=619922]chascates[/re]: Sweet. So you did the public duty? (No rights without duties und so weiter. Might best be restricted to Wonkette et alia forum goons.)
[re=619922]chascates[/re]: (Jury dodgers piss-me-right-off.)

“Refudiate,” “misunderestimate,” “wee-wee’d up.” English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!

Fuck off Libruls! Sarah was just coining a new word! Just like Shakespeare did also!

Wow. When I put the mascot question on the table, I had no clue about the proton spin that would result.
[re=619910]weejee[/re]: There are a host of recently deceased, politically incorrect mascots
No lie (or Scott Brown’s possibly prehensile nose). Whilst filling up the tank in scenic Atoka, Oklahoma, a school bus pulled in and disgorged a load of Kaganesque girl athletes. For the uninitiated, this is smack dab in the middle of the Cherokee Nation. The bus carrying the squad was from the town of Tecumseh. Named after a famed and (in Native circles) beloved 19th century Shawnee leader.
The bus carried the team’s mascot on its side: TECUMSEH SAVAGES.
You can look it up. You can also gnash what’s left of your poor teeth.
[re=619928]user-of-owls[/re]: Because Fightin’ Whities was already taken?
[re=619895]user-of-owls[/re]: The Gingers? The Fightin’ Gingers?
[re=619931]imissopus[/re]: Even better!
[re=619931]imissopus[/re]: Jim is gone. Do grasp, my fav.
Tea Party, Teahadists, Tea Baggers ….same shit. But let’s not get confused, they are still stinking Republicans:

Now we (CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Political, WaPo) await for Sarah Palin’s twats and facebooks to refudiate this poll.
And BTW, FUCK the ENGLISH language..the language of the SOCIALIST RED COATS!

[re=619934]El Pinche[/re]: Gyahd, then their finished. Hail G.W. Bush!
[re=619936]Sleeves[/re]: sic all. AWESOME.
[re=619935]El Pinche[/re]: That is the most awesome name for band ever.
I, for one, will not give this übergrifter credit for inventing a word. She’s already poisoned us with death panels, and hopey, changey, and all of them and in what respects, Charlie, and naming kids after chromosomal anomalies.
palin is a fucking retard cunt, and she is infested with hookworms that have made the synapses in her brain short-circuit.
Relax everyone – the electoral map may be changing…
The BP well is now “seeping” – probably the doomsday methane bubble, so it’s only minutes until FL, LA, MS, AL and TX are wiped off the map.
[re=619941]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Oh course it might change…but this is a fine position, historically.
Watching teabaggers’ heads asplode is my porn. I seriously fapped to that list of comments.
[re=619941]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: A massive Vitter-style diaper is what is needed.
[re=619928]user-of-owls[/re]: sigh, and those are my people too.
I should be completely insulted, but aren’t all teen girls savages?
Scott Brown would know.
[re=619941]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Republican Jesus is about to gather all his people to him and take them to asshole heaven. *sniff* I only hope they gots oil up there too.
I am in love with Scott Brown and all of his naked daughters.
[re=619933]Sleeves[/re]: Sara B is sometimes a ginger, I believe. Depending on her mood.
[re=619950]Sara Benincasa[/re]: Well — that’s three things you have in common with Scott Brown.
[re=619741]user-of-owls[/re]: They were afraid to spell Massachusetts.
Wow this happened: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/19/alvin-greene-speech-video_n_650676.html
[I would have watched it but I was at a mud-wrestling event in Bed-Sty (these things happen)]
We need Stuef to interpret this for us because … the lotus can not breathe in dark lotion.
[re=619950]Sara Benincasa[/re]: In love with the erstwhile naked Scott Brown or with the current centrist Scott Brown who seems fairly adept at keeping his clothes on in public? Are there additional naked Scott Brown daughters that have somehow eluded my attention?
Is “Today, we are all Marxist tools” taken?
[re=619863]Geogre[/re]: Well, there’s still Radio Pyongyang. They even have 30 minutes of English, usually Great Leader’s speeches.
Otherwise, commie propaganda is gone, but even weirder racist and xtn fundie propaganda has taken over. Brother Stair (the Profit) used to have a whole WWCR transmitter to himself. I believe Pete Peters (Identity Xtn neo-nazi) outbid him, and Stair has gone to WCBQ. Plus mega-bucks to Deutsche Telecom, and various unscrupulous broadcasters in Turkey and Israel. I’ve heard that Falungong even has a SW program, though I haven’t encountered it yet.
[re=619941]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Brother Stair’s been spreading that rumor! Also it’s rival, that a tsunami will destroy the gulf coast. Sources: various pentecostals’ dreams and visions.
[re=619953]imissopus[/re]: Oh yeah! Sorry! Sara B is ju…um, hot, isn’t she? (Hot? *grabs forelock* so stupid so stupid…)
[re=619669]Neilist[/re]: Although I’m late to this party, I think you’ve played WAY too much Call of Duty. Just walk away, it’s impacting your already tenuous grip on reality.
[re=619941]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Thank god. Should we them Bics?
