Boo!! Rashid Khalidi! Boo!! Happy Halloween . . . From John McCain & Sarah Palin

Keith Olbermann, god bless his soul, steamrolls, pisses on, shits on and then unceremoniously tosses in the dumpster the last-ditch, putrid effort by McCain and Palin to smear Obama as a Muslim/Terrorist sympathizer.

I refer to the Rashid Khalidi accusation.

I could effortlessly expend voluminous blog space explaining this non-issue in great detail, but it wouldn't have the visceral impact that Olbermann's demolition job has.

So take it away Keith-O!

Lying Their Way to Victory! (hopefully not)

This clip is a pretty fair summation of what the McCain/Palin campaign has been all about --- smearing by innuendo and lying. Their conservative ideology is bankrupt. They don't want to represent all of America, just the "Pro-Americans" (right-wing Republicans). They have no ideas, no vision, no heart -- nothing, nada, zilch. Just fear mongering and character assassination. It's time for change. Yes we can.

Big Business CEO Lies About Obama Small Business Tax Policy. . .

FactCheck.org demolishes conservative ad which is peddling lies about Obama's tax policies for small businesses.

Turns out the financier behind the ad is a right-wing pharmaceutical industry CEO who has ties to the McCain campaign.

I wonder if Joe the Plumber reads FactCheck.org? It might behoove him to do so since he seems confused about how the Obama/Biden tax policies might affect his pipe dream (pun intended) to purchase his boss' plumbing business some day in the distant future.

Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan Were Socialists!

Former Nixon, Ford, and Reagan presidential advisor and Republican David Gergen educates the rubes who are bobble-head nodding in unison over the charges from McCain and Palin that Obama is a "socialist."

Gergen quite correctly points out that two of the most revered Republican Presidents of the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, by virtue of their tax policies, were socialists too.

Good job David. Not that the irony of it will penetrate the plasma force-field of stupidity that the conservative rubes have enveloped themselves in, but it gets an "A" for effort in my book.

McCain Pwned by Obama!

This is the perfect mocking response to the McCain/Palin childish taunting that "Obama is a socialist" crap.

Why Do Conservatives Hate Democracy?

The right wing flying-monkey-brigades have been whining ad nauseum about a 40 year old community organizing outfit called ACORN, who they claim this election year are systematically subverting the electoral process and democracy through "massive" voting fraud.

Of course, their dumb rube followers buy that horseshit hook line and sinker because poll after poll after poll suggests that this year's slate of sub-par GOP candidates is on the verge of getting their clocks cleaned in the coming election next week.

Here's a simple explanation of the difference between voting registration fraud and voting fraud. It's so simple that even your average Republican rube, without expending too many of their precious few brain cells, can understand it.

Voting "registration" fraud means registrars (usually paid workers) are not doing the job they were hired to do which is to collect and turn in valid voter registration forms. Instead because they're lazy, stupid, or whatever other dumb reason, they fill out the forms themselves with false/phony names addresses, etc and turn them in to meet their quota.

Let me put it in even more simplistic rube terms. Some ass-hat, minimum-wage paid registrar, who just wants to get a paycheck so he can buy some beer and cigarettes, turns in a bunch of voter registration forms with names like Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker Red, Tom Collins, Barney Fife, Billy Kidd, Ike Clanton, etc. The forms may also have equally fraudulent addresses such as 1313 Mockingbird Lane, 77 Sunset Blvd., etc. So -- follow along now -- the premise being promulgated by right-wing pundits is that somebody is actually going to show up at a voting station on election day, try to sign in using the name of Barney Fife, and the address of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and cast a ballot for an evil Democrat which will undermine the celestially chosen GOP candidate. If you believe that scenario, you not only deserve to be called a rube, you actually are more deserving of being called an insanely gullible fucking moron.

By law, in most states, voter registration outfits like ACORN are required to process and submit each and every form that is handed in to them from their registrars, regardless of whether they deem them problematic. And the simple truth is, the vast majority of these fraudulent registration forms are weeded out by a variety of checks and balances that are employed by your typical state elections apparatus. Actual voting fraud is rare for the simple reason that the penalty carries jail time and fines which is an unappealingly low-return for the crime committed. Thanks however to incessant whining and blatant lying on the part of GOP pundits and operatives, the crime of "voting fraud" has reached urban myth-like proportions amongst angst-ridden conservatives who are experiencing nightmarish visions of hordes of brown people taking over their country at every turn.

So it's no surprise hearing them whining and braying about voting fraud these past few weeks, especially considering the corrupt GOP is poised to be on the losing end of voter wrath come next Tuesday November 4th. This year, their manufactured bogey man of choice is ACORN. Big, bad, cheating (oh and mostly minority) ACORN.

Here's a dirty little secret though (secret to only the right-wing rubes because they're too fucking ignorant to get it or just dont' give a rat's ass) --- the absolute bulk of the valid voters who will have their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote disenfranchised on Tuesday will be minority Democrats. And that disenfranchisement will come at the hands of partisan, party officials in several states who will use every underhanded method known to electoral fraudsters since the art of election theft was invented. And their goal will be to prevent as many minorities and democrats from voting that they possibly can. What these people are doing is un-American, it's anti-democratic, and it's criminal.

If by some "miracle" McCain and Palin win on Tuesday, this country is in for some troubled times and 100% of the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the ruthless democracy-hating pricks who, like their hero George W. Bush, believe the paper which our Constitution is written on is the equivalent of paper with which they can use to wipe their asses with. One thing's for certain -- Mussolini and Hitler would be proudly smiling up from hell.

Grand Old Propaganda . . .

Not that it'll convince the Murdoch sheep -- but this clip is just additional proof that the droning chant by the fork-tongued con artists at Fox News about their network being "Fair and Balanced" is the biggest, maggot-infested, steaming pile of bullshit around.

A "reputable" news organization wouldn't have been hyper-actively pimping the phony Ashley Todd story like Fox was if they weren't in the business of promoting a certain toxic political agenda. What's gotten less press, and yet is even more disturbing, are the reports alleging that a high-level Pennsylvania McCain campaign operative was actively shopping the story around before police had even finished their investigation into the incident. I think it's a fair indication of how sleazy and low the McCain/Palin camp will slink when they are caught red-handed desperately peddling tripe like this story to the mainstream press. And Faux News was an all too willing participant in that desperation.

Ultimately, I don't know why some people find the fact that Fox is a propaganda arm of the Republican party so hard to comprehend. Just accept it ok? The truth shall set you free!

Fair and Balanced My Ass!

Wow. What a rude, dissembling, and very annoying C*nt (yes, that's C*nt with a capital 'C'). Megyn Kelly earns her coveted little Rupert Murdoch brownie points in this clip. Beware -- watching it is the equivalent of lots of fingernails scraping across a chalkboard.

I think the well-paid borgs at Fox have so deluded themselves with their obnoxiously redundant "Fair and Balanced" mantra, they think just because a majority of their flesh-eating zombie viewers believe it, it must be true! Lol. I don't begrudge them their little GOP propaganda media outlet. Just stop with the fucking lying about being "Fair and Balanced." It really is as simple as that.

Bed-Wetting Nazis In Plot to Kill Obama . . .

I'm beginning to think that maybe we should keep Gitmo open after all. I think it would be a very nice place to house these intellectually-challenged, cowardly, America-hating freaks in.

The ATF, the law enforcement people who McCain pal G. Gordon Liddy says you should aim at their heads to kill them, breaks up a plot to assassinate Senator Barack Obama and murder innocent African-American high-school kids.

Sigh . . .

Another Republican Crook Bites The Dust . . .

Alaska GOP Senator Ted "Hulk" Stevens gets convicted on corruption charges. How bad was it? Unanimously guilty on all 7 counts.

Oh, and lest it be left unsaid, Stevens is BFF's with Sarah Palin. Why is Sarah Palin "palling around" with convicted felons? Just asking . . .
