Chris Matthews Says West Point Is The "Enemy Camp"

Hot Air: Matthews on West Point: Obama went to the "enemy camp" tonight, didn't he?

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman Drunk In Public Again

A few days after calling a woman at an auction "fat" and "short and fat", Oscar Goodman's office has no comment - for me anyway. It seems from the video that the woman committed the hideous offence of placing the high bid on an item. Mayor Goodman, from the podium, doesn't want to take her money because she is fat. On the video, the audience reaction seems shocked.

I'm very interested in the fact that local media is burying the story. Oscar Goodman wants to be Nevada's next Governor. And would you believe it? Oscar Goodman is a Democrat! Here's what I - a citizen of Las Vegas - want to know:

• Has the Mayor apologized to the woman he publicly insulted?
• Does the Mayor remember this event?
• Does the Mayor drink during his business day? How much?
• Will Mayor Goodman seek treatment for his alcoholism?
• Does the Mayor realize that he is fat and his beard looks like pubic hair?

The primary beneficiary of this video would be Rory Reid, but I believe the video could have been released just on the merits of the offensiveness of Goodman's behavior, and not necessarily to benefit another politician. It is very disturbing as a citizen to realize that, with people are losing jobs all over town and with all the problems that go along with that, the Mayor is drunk on his ass.

Michelle Obama: Proud Of America At Long Last

Shocking stuff! Especially when you consider that this is a lady who has done well in life because of the opportunities America made available to her. With so much to be thankful for, she hasn't been able to feel pride in her country until now? Think about this: Are we going to be proud of a blame-America-first First Lady?

John Edwards Comes On Strong On Health Care

Be informed and beware:

Way to go, Slick! But it was probably all those dirty, germy voters who gave him the sniffles in the first place. John Edwards will make sure Congress gives them universal health care. Unfortunately, his plan is unconstitutional. Do they not have any lawyers over there at the Edwards camp? Sad, sad, sad.

Troops Dish It Back To Kerry

And just how did Sen. Kerry (D-MA) characterize the troops? Oh, yeah:

You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.

Ten seconds of pompous buffoonary, a lifetime of NOT being President.

Creepy Censorship Vibe from Lamont Blog

{{{Shudder}}} But first of all, I want to thank ReihlWorldView for bringing this to my attention!

Can't believe Lamont's campaign thinks this is something to be proud of! I really can't! But read for yourself what is posted in the Ned Lamont for Senate blog: Net Vendors Turning Down Lieberman Party Work Offers. Highlights follow:

Where's Joe2006.com? Well, it's still only a shell of itself, once again pointing to incompetence as the cause of the "hack."

But there's even more interesting information on that front. It seems major Democratic technology groups are turning down Senator Liberman's (Lieberman-CT) offers to provide technology support in his go-it-alone re-election campaign.

The writer goes on to talk about two companies, Blue State Digital and Plus Three, who turned down the opportunity to work - for pay, I assume - for the Lieberman campaign. Then he lets this slip:

Many ironies here, folks. First, Blue State Digital does our technical work, and provides our tools for meaningful online participation. That Senator Lieberman's staff didn't know that is another sign of their web-incompetence. Second, it's the Blue State tech team we offered to send them on election day as they cried foul over their website "hack" to anyone with a camera, microphone, or steno notepad.

Yeah. Wink-wink-nod-nod. I'm not suggesting that Blue State Digital was involved in the hacking and denial of service that really did happen to Senator Lieberman's domain on primary day. I'm saying that the Lamont campaign is too much hugging themselves and giggling about the fact that the hacking and DoS happened while trying to misdirect the mindless by suggesting that all the problems were caused by the lack of internet savvy of the Lieberman campaign. Cute trick.

This is an arrogance that comes from a surity of moral superiority. Take notice, VRWC! This is what we are dealing with.

I wonder...what Democratic technology vendor would work with Senator Lieberman this election cycle? With all the damage he is doing to the Party in CT and across the country, coupled with the online support we have earned...who?

Kind of a threatening tone. Taunting. Who would dare work against the mighty Lamont. Here is one of the elephants in the living room: I suspect these "democratic technology vendors" of which we speak are concerned about losing contract work with Lamont Digital Systems a company that builds and operates advanced telecommunications networks for college campuses and residential gated communities, with over 150,000 subscribers. Or something else unsavory.

See what I mean: chilling. Digital disenfranchisement. Deny free speech by denying use of the medium.

I am also interested in the way the writer, Tim Tagaris, hammers on the meme "Lieberman is web-incompetent". Therefore, I guess, Lieberman is inferior. Vote for Lamont. Can you believe they expect this to work for them?

The post puts the Lamont campaign in such a bad light, I can't believe they haven't deleted it. I took a screenshot just in case they do.

And one more thing I noticed at the Ned Lamont for Senate blog. It's a whole lot about Joe Lieberman! Maybe with Neddy to run the blog for him, he'll get by as a web-incompetent!

Islamofascists Are Very Sensitive - Be Careful You Don't Hurt Their Feelings

Super-dhimmi Charlie Rangel has this to say on Hardball, 8/11/06:

"You take Islamic and you call them fascists, you call them radical. You never called Hitler a Christian fascist. This is insulting to an entire religion."

[...]

"We got Christian killers, we got Jewish killers, and we never identify them by religion. What you're doing is demonizing."

I never really thought of Hitler as a Christian.

And is it 'demonizing' to point out which belief system is behind organized plots to blow up, oh, maybe a couple thousand people on airliners over the ocean? 'Demonic' sounds like an accurate descriptor to me.

FYI: Definition of 'fascism':

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Another accurate descriptor.

Mad McKinney Supporters Behaving Badly

This video is from Rep. Cynthia McKinney's (D-GA) loss in the August 8, 2006 primary. It was captured by Ms. Underestimated and she has an informative write-up on her blog. Who are these guys? The New Black Panthers Party and Nation of Islam are represented, along with assorted moonbats. They do not seem interested in improving race relations.

What a shame! If my kids acted like that, they'd be grounded until they moved out.

Update: The white-cap, big-mouth guy is Hashim Nzinga of the New Black Panthers.
