I think in all probability we're going to see at least one major act of domestic terrorism under Obama. It is disturbing that there are so many mainstream right-wingers buying into the birther/death panel/insert other crazy conspiracy/Nazi stuff. Under Clinton is was just the extreme right wing that got its panties in a bunch (see Timothy McVeigh).

So, the facts were bad, a conservative judge agreed, and Jones got her day in court. End of story.

In the federal appeals court! Why should a plaintiff have to endure the stress, delay and expense of pursuing a case all the way to the appeals court? This law would have given her the justice she deserved in a timely, efficient manner in the lower court. Why do you want to keep putting sticks in the wheels of Americans seeking justice from big Republican donors?
 
I was thinking the "National Council for a New America" already existed; we just refer to it as "the last election".
 
Maybe Perriello can help them out by setting up special areas nearby where they can protest. Call them ... oh, ... I don't know ... something catchy and slightly patriotic sounding. How about "Free Speech Zones?"



Nah. You're right. That's stupid.
 
Welp. "Michael Steele" just responded.

Selected "No" on every question, with the exception of the ones about whether he voted in the last three elections.

He punted on the Registration Number and voting District Code (selected plausible-looking character strings from the last bit in the address bar: /?initiativekey=F5BMW17GUXCG), so it might not make it through the verification process.

Oh, and his address appears to be at some state University in Maryland.

ETA: He also declined to make a donation to the RNC.
 
And I don't think Clinton had actual members of congress accusing him of being a brain-washing socialist-communist-nazi who wanted to kill grandmothers.
 
The specific image of a black man being invisible in the dark except for his eyes (wide open from fear) has a specific history. Think about the old joke with the punchline "Ain't nobody here but us chickens, Massah." The fugitive black man trying to hide from a white man who's too stupid to realize that his glow-in-the-dark eyes (or, in the case of the joke, the idea of a chicken responding in English) would give him away.
 
Jeez, I don't know what he's trying to say. It's pretty much gibberish to me. I did like the part about "a society where the foundations of individual rights and liberties are undermined" though. Apparently same-sex marriage undermines individual rights and liberties, but bigoted laws and attitudes don't. I guess. Or something.

It must be some sort of reaction to the recent poll that 92% of the people in his state said that same-sex marriage hasn't affected them. I guess. Or something.
 
Ending birthright citizenship count?

Nah, not big enough. C'mon, react to the latina, Mr. Steele. I can't wait.
oh... god, this is like watching a car crash. Except it's a 18 wheeler that just drove into a lamppost, and it's a car carrier, and they're all falling off in slow motion.

And each one is packed full of clowns.

Hmmm...

I see that if you make a donation, you get to see the results. I wonder if they track ip or similiar. It would be quite fun to do a "google bomb" type experiment on them and see just how far the results could be skewed by a populace like those here (everybody posting replies for an hour solid has gotta a good number of responses right?)

The point is, this area of law is getting a hard look by Congress for several good reasons (which can be referred to as "Cheney" and "Mrs. Clinton", to save time).

I do think Rep. Issa is taking the wrong course with the most popular first lady in 40 years (he's gonna get stomped like a grape in Napa), but the topic is one where reasonable (but geeky) lawyers are having meaningful discussion about what should be done.

In other words, it's a possibly legitimate and commendable bill that's being torpedoed by its Republican sponsors' ham-tongued rhetorical trippery. Sounds par for the course.

It just amazes me that, rather than letting this work its way through Congress under its legitimate cover, Issa decided he was going to try to jump-start it by tossing his shoes at the most popular First Lady in more than 40 years. I'm more and more convinced that the Republicans are taking their cues from Michael Scott.

(1) Foster's body is discovered July 20. White House aides, unobserved, are in and out of his office that night and next day. His possession of the Whitewater file is kept secret. (2) On Thursday, July 22, White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, with intimidated cops nearby, gives Foster's box of Whitewater files to Ms. Williams (not, as was long said, to the Clintons' lawyer). (3) After talking to Hillary Clinton, Ms. Williams locks the files in a closet in the third-floor family quarters of the White House, to which she had the only key. (4) Not until Tuesday, July 27, are the Whitewater files retrieved by the lawyer, then Robert Barnett.

1. Dead man has a box with files. One of the files relates to an ongoing case. Very impolitely, he does not tell anybody that he has this file.

2. Box is turned over to another person, who does not immediately insist that the dead man identify all files relating to investigation.

3. Files are locked away.

4. Someone goes through the files and finds the file.

Yes, very mysterious.
 
I can see their point, apparently Periello's office is at the top of a mountain that can only be accessed with the help of local sherpas and require three weeks acclimation at a base camp. And don't even get me started on his hollowed out volcano lair.

Nice try, you liberal scum!

Oh, you thought you'd get somewhere with your Olbermann talking point, but Michele CLEARLY said that she didn't want government control over herbody. She didn't say anything about anyone else's!

Republican handbook, page 66, section four, under IOOIYAAR. Touchmate!

FOILED AGAIN! *shakes tiny, liberal fist*

If you're talking about the new GOP Healthcare plan: It's stupid because their answer to the Democrat's plan to increase coverage and, perhaps cut the deficit, does not increase coverage and cuts the deficit less than the plan they are against.

Stupid Repubican: After 10 months of studying this terrible, awful, no-good plan, we have come up with our own plan-- even more terrible and awfuller!



If you're talking about the old GOP Healthcare plan: There was no plan. There was no budget. There was no numbers. There were no proposals. There was NOTHING except circles with lines leading to other circles encasing a platitude. That budget was beyond stupid and jumped directly into open-head wound brain malfuction.

It won't really be a right wing group. No connection at all. In fact, it's actually a left wing organization. See what the leftists are doing? SEE WHAT OBAMA HATH WROUGHT! [/Fox News]
