THE EDITING PROCESS

Newsmax Changed Its Mind About The Need To ‘Exterminate’ Obama’s ‘Pesty’ Socialist Pals

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009


#1 maximum news place, Newsmax, thought twice—or, you know, once—about its new article today that suggested Obama’s socialist and leftist advisers, or “pests,” should be somehow “exterminated.” The piece has since been removed from the Internet and sent to a camp in Poland. Newsmax has won the morning!


SAME PRINCIPLE

Paultard Candidate: Don’t Call Me A Hero, But Basically What I’m Doing Is Akin To Singlehandedly Killing Every Nazi In WWII

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

And so he says, 'Where dat baloney?'Connecticut Senate candidate Peter Schiff, who (by default) fills the role of the “Holy Spirit” in the Paultards’ Trinity of masturbatory fever dream starring actors, gave a rather epic quote to the Washington Post in an interview yesterday: “I’m interrupting my career. It’s not like I want my new career in politics. But I’m willing to interrupt it the same way that somebody interrupted their career and joined World War II and went off to fight the Nazis. I don’t think that I’m that heroic, and I don’t think I’m risking as much as a soldier. But it’s the same principle.” No, it’s actually the exact same thing. [Washington Post]

Bachmann Says ACORN Will Use Census For Internment Camps

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Something like that at least; she may have said these things before: “If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the census bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations, at the request of President Roosevelt, and that’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps.” Ha. We all know that if Michele Bachmann had been in power in the 1940s, she would’ve *loved* the idea of internment camps. [YouTube, Think Progress]

Pat Buchanan Still Seething Over That Fink, Hirohito

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Pat Buchanan has written a real ripsnorter of a column in the American Conservative about how the Republicans are a bag of salty dicks, for hating Detroit. Detroit could be worse — for example, they could be Japs: “But why this ‘Let-them-eat-cake!’ coldness toward U.S. auto companies? General Motors employs more workers than all these foreign plants combined. And, unlike Mitsubishi, General Motors didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor.” [American Conservative]


VANITY FAIR

Colorful Environmental ‘Time’ Cover Offends Veterans

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Now this is a creative graphic from America’s Magazine of Record, Time, which will grace the cover for its upcoming green issue. (Hey, wasn’t that Vanity Fair’s gimmick-issue to begin with?) Of course it is a play on the famous Iwo Jima photo/statue from World War II, which was a fake to begin with. Naturally, Iwo Jima veterans are very offended that their fake posing photo is being used to promote something as Communist as saving the environment. MORE »

A Short Guide To Iraq

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Hey look, the “War and Navy Departments” put out this little handbook (PDF) to help the troops in Iraq … in 1943, when we had soldiers and sailors over there for some reason. Let’s see — yes, right: “YOU HAVE been ordered to Iraq (i-RAHK) as part of the world-wide offensive to beat Hitler.”

Join us after the jump as we visit a mysterious era in which everybody at the Pentagon wasn’t a complete fucking idiot, after the jump.
