  • The most misunderstood American patriot and author of No Country For Old Men, Joseph McCarthy, is finally getting the historical revisionism he deserves. [Washington Times]
  • Our fascist government has to — get this — PAY for jailing illegal immigrants. Why not just throw them into a tire fire? [Fox News]
  • Because Muslims shamelessly worship that big black cube mosk in Mecca, they can never be real American citizens. [Bare Naked Islam]
  • Liberals are all Prozac-popping sad-sods who rage-stroke at the sight of God’s purest angel, Sarah Palin. [NY Daily News]

Well, if Darryl Issa is gonna channel Joe McCarthy, he better get started on his drinking. You don't just die from cirrhosis of the liver without working at it.

TanzbodenKoenig November 17, 2010 at 3:50 pm

Judging by the color of his skin I think Boehner is the one channeling that aspect of McCarthy

nachoproblem November 17, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Darryl Issa is the same corrupt used-car-selling piece of shit who sponsored the recall measure that got my state The Governator, and bankruptcy. I have no joke here, I too just hope he dies of alcoholism like his hero, Joe "I Love Purges" Stalin McCarthy.

trampndirtdown November 17, 2010 at 10:10 pm

Dude I know the feeling some things just aren't snarkable, the previous occupant of the oval office is cryptonite to my funny bone.

Gotta love the Moonie Times – the "fishwrap of record".

Oh hey, there's a poll! VOTE, you cynical libruls!

in other news, europeans isolated and trapped anti-matter.

we just let it dance on reality shows.

Science will never capture America's heart like Bristol. Have you seen her back fat jiggle while she dances? It's hypnotic, like a lava lamp.

OneDollarJuana November 17, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Gawd, I hope her back doesn't explode, like that lava lamp on Mythbusters.

Numbat_Dundee November 17, 2010 at 9:16 pm

But it could be a real neat encore to a Samba – jig a jig a BOOM!

Re: fingered item #3: Yes, Christianity only uses an execution device for a logo, ritualizes cannibalism, and corrupts it founder utterly by coining the term Christian soldier as metaphor, so thems is ok peoples.

Lascauxcaveman November 17, 2010 at 2:43 pm

But you guys make it sound a lot more fun than it really is.

Bonzos_Bed_Time November 17, 2010 at 2:45 pm

I think there's wine involved. Name another religion based on booze!!!1!

Yeah, thought so.

LionelHutzEsq November 17, 2010 at 3:04 pm

I want to know when the author will have the guts to go after Glenn Beck for giving his loyalties to the Mormon heresy.

horsedreamer_1 November 17, 2010 at 2:26 pm

Why do I get the feeling a Boehner's America would resemble The Road?

Bonzos_Bed_Time November 17, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Minus the hope.

GOPCrusher November 17, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Palin's America will resemble The Road Warrior.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:15 pm

Guys, Boehner's America is SW Ohio, particularly Cincinutty! You can go see it any time you want, on the Jerry Springer Show.

Serolf_Divad November 17, 2010 at 2:27 pm

If you're interested in the shocking back story to the losses of Eastern Europe and China to communists, the North's invasion of South Korea and more, Mr. Evans' book is for you. Ann Coulter has rightly described "Blacklisted by History" as "the greatest book since the Bible."

Better than Going Rogue? Better than The Overton Window? Better than Mein Kampfh? That's kinda hard to believe!

real_dc_native November 17, 2010 at 2:45 pm

If the book is endorsed by Ann Coulter – well – it MUST be great!

HELisforHEL November 17, 2010 at 2:45 pm

I have to laugh–the idea that Ann Coulter would say that, insinuating that she's actually read the bible. I would pretty much bet that Skelator is full of shit. Once again.
Also.

Ahh, MoonieWorld. Not for the timid. Or the educated.

Negropolis November 18, 2010 at 1:53 am

Ann's skin burns whenever she's been forced to touch a Bible, so yeah, she's full of shit, and very amounts of bile, motor oil, and moonshine.

revmod November 17, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Actually, the real shocker of that review is that she thinks it's better than the shit she writes.

That can't be right. More likely, "Blacklisted by History" must be an older book, predating all of hers. I'll have to go check Conservapedia.

Serolf_Divad November 17, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Actually, the real shocker of that review is that she thinks it's better than the shit she writes.

You're assuming she doesn't think she wrote the Bible. That's a pretty big assumption.

Bonzos_Bed_Time November 17, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Better than The Fountainhead? Better than Battlefield Earth? Please…

Numbat_Dundee November 17, 2010 at 9:20 pm

There is another work I think of whenever I think of Coulter, Malkin Bachmann and Palin, John Knox's First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women

Terry November 17, 2010 at 2:29 pm

Sure, we pay to jail illegal immigrants. That's why those for-profit jail companies wrote the Arizona legislation that makes it legal to stop someone simply for being Hispanic. The jail companies going to make out like the bandits they are.

GOPCrusher November 17, 2010 at 3:57 pm

Next thing, you're going to try to convince us that multi-national conglomerates are responsible for Defense procurements.

SeveredHead. November 17, 2010 at 2:31 pm

Is there some way in which these immigrant burnings could figure into some kind of carbon offset? 1 im'grant = 2 tons of CO2?

Like tax cuts, holding illegal immigrants in a state-of-the-art prison pays for itself.

SorosBot November 17, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Next, the Washington Times will be angry over the media slandering the good people of Salem and their heroic efforts to protect America from witches.

That "Bare Naked Islam" site, I see, has revealed the shocking truth that some Muslims have tried to convert people to their religion, something that no Christian would ever think of doing.

Listen, Daily News moron, I would not give a shit if Sarah Palin was the happiest person on Earth if she would just go away.

LionelHutzEsq November 17, 2010 at 3:09 pm

I don't know, but Palin never seems happy to me. More passive-aggressive. She learned a long time ago that plenty of people would give her her way if she just acted batty and cute. Fine when you are 12, but I would hope that most adults just get annoyed by it.

(Interestingly enough, the poll on the site have 75% saying she would be a tragedy of a president, and that is of Daily News readers. Who, other than Fox News and Tina Fey, is clammoring for her to run? )

SorosBot November 17, 2010 at 3:48 pm

Is the NY Daily News considered more liberal or conservative? I was pleasantly surprised to see the comments were about 50/50 pro-/anti-Palin, but then one of the Palin supporters referred to Obama as "boy" and it looked like a newspaper comments section again.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:18 pm

Isn't the Daily News the one founded by Hamilton so he could tell everyone about Marse Tom and Sally Hemmings?

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:17 pm

I strongly suspect that the good people of Salem, Mass., would have hung all the Moonies, too.

SayItWithWookies November 17, 2010 at 2:35 pm

Rep. Joe Seiwert, a Republican re-elected this month to another two-year term, sent an e-mail recently to about 40 people indicating Christians couldn’t be considered U.S. patriots because they owed their allegiance to Jesus.

There — after a couple of minor word changes, I think this is a statement everybody can agree on.

PsycWench November 17, 2010 at 2:36 pm


Liberals are all Prozac-popping sad-sods who rage-stroke at the sight of God’s purest angel, Sarah Palin

Don't forget how infuriated we are that Bristol Palin is still on DWTS. Because we have nothing better to do than track the progress of the participants on lame reality shows dontcha know.

widestanceroman November 17, 2010 at 2:43 pm

The "sight of God's purest angel, Sarah Palin" is the last thing I want when I'm rage-stroking.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:19 pm

We're just people who don't want to be slaves/serfs/peons to conservacrooks.

Monsieur_Grumpe November 17, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Benjamin,
That is one impressive collection of crazy you have assembled. I sincerely hope that you did not read all of that stupidity in one sitting. I am concerned for your mental health as it seems Jack has gone off the deep end by reading too much Palin Facebook Spew.

PsycWench November 17, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Joseph McCarthy, misunderstood patriot… am I the first one to think of Godwin's law here?

Fare la Volpe November 17, 2010 at 2:40 pm

Yes, Ms. S.E., Sarah Palin is exactly like that perky cheerleader in high school: she got knocked up young and never kept her looks past 20.

SorosBot November 17, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Also not very much going on upstairs and can't spell for shit.

Ducksworthy November 17, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Fortunately, the Frist family is there to be paid for jailing suspected illegal immigrants through the Corrections Corporation of America, a sequel to the Hospital Corporation of America, which when governator- elect Rick Scott ran it, pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and paid a $600 billion fine for defrauding Medicare, as sport at which Florida now leads the nation. Free Enterprise!

Fare la Volpe November 17, 2010 at 2:49 pm

I love how being "totally unburdened" (i.e. quitting your job) is somehow an asset in conservative circles.

widestanceroman November 17, 2010 at 2:51 pm

Yet, the x-tians will have judged Jeebus right out of a job by the time he gets around to showing up in these parts again.

glamourdammerung November 17, 2010 at 2:54 pm

Unlike Christians (who have no weird rituals whatsoever) Muslims shamelessly worship that big black cube mosk in Mecca and can never be real citizens.

I would count the Holocaust as a pretty weird ritual myself.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:21 pm

Muslims are the original Protestants anyway. Luther in particular was protected by Selim the Grim.

Bluestatelibel November 17, 2010 at 2:54 pm

"… nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman…And without anyone's help."

Without anyone's help? Have you already forgotten the old man of Arizona without whom our ears would have never been despoiled by the bitter screechings of your harpy idol?

Katydid November 17, 2010 at 2:55 pm

I hate Palin because she's so gosh darn happy being a demagogue and a blithering idjit. And because papers such as the NYT run press releases for her, this weekend, in fact, and call it journalism, wherein they call Todd the hardest working political spouse because he googles for her, and they also call her a social media genius.

But god forbid one brain two cupps asks a liberal why we hate Palin. That would take actual work.

MarionNYNY November 17, 2010 at 2:57 pm

The bare naked site looks so much hipper than the storm front site. It still looks like a canned piece of shit but still less 1990's than stormfront. But then again islamophobia is the new anti-Semitism.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:22 pm

Luther hated Jews and Muslims about equally. Had a very low opinion of Henry VIII and the Episcopalians, too.

SayItWithWookies November 17, 2010 at 2:57 pm

It seems everyone wants a piece of Palin these days. Some are fans, some are hostile foes. But regardless, we just can't stop talking about her. Will there ever be a time when we decide that we've figured her out and there's nothing else to say?

Oh, S.E. Cupp — you tried to pass yourself off as different from the rest of the right-wing punditry — as someone clever and witty and funny. But now the mask is off — you think Sarah Palin is some sort of fathomless mystery, endlessly faceted like some sort of magic diamond. This is like unto drawing endless meaning from the songs of Barry Manilow.
Also, please note that one does not spell "lightning rod" the way you did — lightening describes the process of increasing illumination, not the plasma phenomenon commonly associated with rainstorms. But then, since you can't even spell your first two names, this advice might be falling on deaf ears.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:24 pm

If she had been in a barbecue pit for 12 hours, I might take a slice of Palin, but cautiously and with a lot of sauce. I suspect real pig would be better than her long pig.

mavenmaven November 17, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Well, if we can have fascist apologetics (Glenn Beck, Skousen) as a major part of our national dialogue, why not McCarthyism revisionism?

Kidneys4Sale November 17, 2010 at 3:01 pm

Well, I suppose if we're gonna dig down deep enough to rehab Dubya, we might as well pick up Joey the List along the way. Hey…any chance there's a seat for Agnew on this love train?

I don't take prozac, I take lexapro, and I sad-stroked three times last night alone.

Emigrate. I'm serious. Things get better the farther away you get from Bush-Obamastan. China is an oriental despotism but you can walk down the street with a beer in your hand.

prommie November 18, 2010 at 3:03 pm

Funny you should say that, distant possibility, just maybe, Macau. You can walk down the street in France with a glass of wine, and people will congratulate you for it.

prommie November 18, 2010 at 3:01 pm

Wait a minute, I am not sure I got the meaning of "sad-stroked" right, that may have been an overshare, sorry about that.

Ordinary barbarians taking over my country is actually what makes me unhappy. If I had my way we would be able to identify these invaders before they open their mouths so we could shoot them on sight instead of having to listen to their raving.

metamarcisf November 17, 2010 at 3:12 pm

I don't think it's the political philosophy of Ms. Palin that causes some to despise her. It's the timbre and sonic frequency of that voice. If I turn the TV up loud enough on Foxnews, it brings swarms of bats north from Carlsbad Caverns to inundate my yard and shoot plumes of guano down the chimney.

widestanceroman November 17, 2010 at 3:37 pm

I can see her online (with sound OFF), or if unavoidable, hear her for short periods on the radio (while screaming 'cunt' so I don't explode), but I have never once seen her and heard her at the same time. Truly. Living without tv has its perks.

I guess those bats think your chimney is her mouth and they're trying to stop the pain.

trampndirtdown November 17, 2010 at 10:40 pm

Funny I was listening to Allan Simpson on NPR while driving home from work and I was also screaming "cunt"

TanzbodenKoenig November 17, 2010 at 3:56 pm

You're lucky it's just bats. If I try and pull a stunt like that around here I'm hip deep in sewer rats like she's the Pied-fuckin-Piper or some shit.

Hey, S.E. Shut the fu Cupp, why doncha? You wrote a book bitching about how libs hate Christianity and your Wikipedia profile describes you as an atheist? Come back when you're not so confused.

SayItWithWookies November 17, 2010 at 3:34 pm

She's just laying the ground for the conversion narrative, which wouldn't be at all compelling if, for instance, she converted from a person who doesn't think too much about religion to a Christian. Really, if all conversion stories are to be believed, America is just crawling with atheists — which, if that were true, I'd feel a lot better about picking up strangers in bars.

HistoriCat November 17, 2010 at 4:30 pm

You mean you hope not to hear "Oh God! Oh God! Yes! Yes! Oh God!!!"?

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:27 pm

Is Xtn atheist like Jewish atheist?

Ducksworthy November 17, 2010 at 3:15 pm

C. Cupp is just flat out lying about her titties.

Nesnora November 17, 2010 at 3:28 pm

"And then it hit me. The reason Palin has become such a lightening rod, a kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It's because she's so gosh darn happy.

For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she's refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on."

S.E. Cupp's post is more of a musing about her own teenage experience. As her totally plausible, bubbly childhood "friend" (I know what you're thinking, but pillow-humping while crying together did NOT make us lesbians, it was a phase), I just have one comment:

Fucking nerds are just jealous. History and science are, like, boring and you guys just really need to look at the big picture and be happier for the privileges I have.

You're just being mean about my popularity, and totally unfair. Everyone who was like famous and stuff in history was really popular, so you're just jealous. I bet you aren't like me, at all! Hah! See? That's proof that I'm clearly awesome, and happier.

You know what makes me happy? You not being happy, hahaha. It's so funny, really. You just hate nice people, I know this as fact because how could I be popular and nice if I weren't right. I bet they don't teach that in class, loser.

Hell, wasn't Helen Keller a founder of CPUSA? Thats something that's been swept under history's rug, too.

I didn't know that she was CPUSA, though I did know she was a Wobbly so she was certainly red enough.

glamourdammerung November 17, 2010 at 3:34 pm

Palin is happy? Then whoever is on television claiming to be her and whoever writes her Twitters is doing this Palin person a great disservice.

user-of-owls November 17, 2010 at 3:36 pm

As to throwing immigrants on a burning tire pile, here's an idea:

Let's have Harry Reid tell the Republicans, "Ok, you win. We'll all vote for Trap and Raid." Then while they're all Tweeting for Victory we just have the clerk read out the Cap and Trade bill in a mumbly voice.

zhubajie November 17, 2010 at 6:29 pm

The employers of the illegals are all Reptiles, you may be sure. Get rid of the illegals and they'll have to start paying real good wages to get real americans to work in their packing plants, etc.! They'd bring back slavery first!

trampndirtdown November 17, 2010 at 10:47 pm

The hiring of illegal aliens is bringing back slavery. If their workers could seek redress of complaints without fearing criminal detention and deportation, then the Reptiles would lose a huge cudgel.

This entry is a real Cunt-O-Rama: Coulter, Palin and Cupp. I'm not sure any of them are even fuckable. Cupp would make my dick smell like cigarettes, Palin would make it smell like dumb and Coulter would make it fall off.

Time to deport the Catholics. 'Cause, they can't be trusted because of that big ole' square in Rome.

transfatz November 18, 2010 at 9:03 pm

Exhuming zombie McCarthy is the most important project since the bible. Ann Coulter is the champion of this urgent, shovel-ready enterprise. You see, commies are everywhere and McCarthy has stopped stinking now that our president is somewhat less than white and teabaggers won the house UnAmerican midterms. Also, you are worthless Alec Baldwin.

McCarthy's back and you're gonna be in trouble
Hey la, hey la, McCarthy's back.

BZ1 November 18, 2010 at 11:14 pm

New User16Fab says: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Why, since most of what McCarthy said was acknowledged to be correct by agents of the defunct KGB at the Verona (Venona?) conference after the fall of the USSR, has the term "mccarthyism" not been redefined by or, better yet, expunged from, most dictionaries and encyclopedias? I, of course, know the answer to that, but it's a nice thought. Our teacher factories are still underwater with a millstone around their collective neck because of the inroads made by the communist agents and their clueless, sympathetic enablers since 1967, when James Moffett, Philip Judy (Tschudi), Benjamin Bloom, Paul Roberts, et al decided that it was no longer necessary for students to actually learn our national language and other basic skills. Social issues–Dr. Bloom insisted that our educational systems' overarching mission was socialization of our children–replaced multiplication tables, phonetic spelling/reading, grammar drills, etc. But it has been in the schools of journalism where the commendable spirit of challenging governmental authority has for three generations been perverted into a bludgeon used by the Bring Down America Bunch to try to shake the tree in which the overripe fruit (Lenin, 1920) still clings by a tiny thread."
