In the book, Rove obsesses about a brief conversation with Barack Obama about a sentence in Obama’s memoir, a story that climaxes at a 2008 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Rove attended with Newsweek editor Jon Meacham. Rove’s writes: “At the dinner, Jon sat between me and Valerie Jarrett ….. During the dinner, Jarrett e-mailed Obama on her BlackBerry to let him know she was breaking bread with Satan himself. He e-mailed her back and Jarrett made the mistake of showing Jon and me his reply, which was “Rove hates me.” I knew Senator Obama was alluding to our run-in over the passage in his book. I asked Jarrett to tell him I wasn’t in the habit of hating people.” [ READ MORE ]
Columnist – John Sammon My gun is who I am. Love me. Love my gun. I R a patriot. I live where real Amer-cuns live. I be a member of the Thunderbolt Party. We wear German helmets and we carry the Bible and our guns.
We wear armbands with a thunderbolt on ‘em. Most of us are rural gas station attendants, the working class backbone of the country. Not some bunch of lily-livered limp wrists who like to think.
Love me love my gun.
I’m oiling my gun, waiting fer’ the day when weez’ gonna take back our coun-try.
When I get up in the morning, I thank God he made me a white man, not some socialist jig-a-boo communist co.’k-sucking faggot. Not some left-wing sissy whining momma’s-boy college-educated immigrant bastard.
You mess with me and I’ll kill ya.’ That’s what a Republic should be. Not this here Demo-crappy (Democracy) all them faggots and darkies and the traitors been coming over here to infect it been sayin.’
Love my gun. My gun I keep on the wall in a-place-o honor. I take it off the wall and keep it next to me in my bed. My gun is unregistered. You try to take my gun away an I’ll kill ya.’
I can shoot my own shoes off without nickin’ the skin if I need to, or part the hair on a sparrow at 300 yards.
We’re gonna have us a meetin’ where we talk about how to git back at them communist socialist bastard elected officials who don’t think our way and their immigrant faggot friends. Tryin’ to socialize us and forcing us take health insurance and abortions and such. We learn how to make threatening phone calls to their wives and children.
How to dump nails in their driveway.
Or worse.
If that don’t scare ‘em off, we have other means. We in the Thunderbolt Party.
Love me. Love my gun. Kiss my gun.
Any real man huntz with a gun. Any real American man like Dick Cheney, or that guy who was in the movie where he wuz’ the old Jew-boy with the beard (Charlton Heston as Moses).
Weez’ related to the founders of this country who shot the sh.’t outta the Indians, who made our God the God over ‘em and cleared the land and made it work. And then them foreign traitors come over here and try and take it away. And people of minorities and lesbians who get uppity and don’t know their place start whining and the political sonsofbitches left-wing traitors like Kennedy and Roosevelt suck up to ‘em.
Not me. They can kiss my ass. Love me. Love my gun.
I be a tea-bag right-wing patriot, and I’m proud of it.
I jus love to polish my gun and to hold it in my hands because the day of reckoning iz-a-comin.’
If they keep a-lectin’ them traitor faggots then we in the Thunderbolt Party will meet and think about ways we kin’ take our country back. A country where a white man and woman can walk down the street.
I have my gun. I love my gun.
To arms! To arms! We’re tea baggers, but we ain’t throwin’ no tea this time.
Politico: Liberal talk show host Ed Schultz would like to take the heart of former Vice President Dick Cheney — who is recovering from his fifth heart attack — and “rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him.“
On his radio show Wednesday, Schultz mocked conservatives who have attacked him for going after the health of the former vice president.
“You’re damn right, Dick Cheney’s heart’s a political football,” Schultz said. “We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him.”
Schultz, host of “The Ed Show” on MSNBC, said that he was glad Cheney “didn’t tip over” because “he is the new poster child for health care in this country.”
“How come Dick Cheney’s health care isn’t being dropped?” Schultz asked. “Do you realize that if you had five heart attacks, hell, you wouldn’t get past two heart attacks and they’d dump you.”
“But because you’re a war criminal and because you are on the take from Halliburton … you can get the best health care on the face of the earth,” Schultz said.
——————————————-
Some claim that Ed Shultz is a hater — on the same level as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and all those Republican racists hiding behind radio all over America.
Now, that’s absurd.
Ed is frustrated about a criminal on the loose, and not an imaginary “communist,” who is about to land in your backyard — and take away your years of unfettered privilege. A KILLER who is getting away with butchering 1.4+ million Iraqi people, based on a lie of a magnitude approaching Hitler’s falsehoods about Jews.
I agree with ED 110% …. Cheney and Bush should be tried in a Nuremberg style military tribunal, and when found guilty — BOMBED! — just like they did to hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi women and children. [ READ MORE ]

Bold Fresh: Osama Bin O’Reilly Says — ‘Sarah Palin Needs To Go To College’
“Sarah Palin needs to go to college,” O’Reilly said. “Political college, world affairs college, and she is. She’s hired a bunch of advisers and they’re giving her a whole bunch of tracks to learn, because it is a sophisticated deal,” Bill O’Reilly told George Stephanopoulos, host of ABCs Good Morning America.
Only the country that gave you American Idol would be capable of this.
The head general in the Afghanistan War went on Afghan TV to apologize to the Afghan people for killing innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of the recent fighting. What does this be-medaled dolt think war is? It’s killing.
We killed half a million people in Iraq. Go on TV and say, gee, I’m sorry, as if a television apology makes it alright.
This is truly Beyond The Valley of Orwell. The ultimate extension of the TV generation into madness. I’m sorry we’re killing your people who are innocent of anything more than being in the wrong place, but you see we have to do it. Okay?
What is the Afghan citizen watching the TV set living in the abject poverty of his mud hut supposed to say back to the TV screen to the foreign general? I accept your apology, go on with the killing?
Using television to try and absolve yourself of complicity in violent death as the world’s mightiest superpower attempts to impose its will on one of the poorest regions of the earth? There is a fantastic quality to it, men who claim to be leaders going about this business heedless and without the involvement of mind-numbed American people, who are so spaced from reality they can’t even see the insanity of it all. Attempting to make war acceptable to a television audience in which members of that audience are some of the ones being victimized.
“We pause for station identification.” POW! BLAM! The roof caves in and buries you and your TV set. I’m sorry. You were in the way. What ever happened to the slogan “War is hell?”
I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we send text messages to the families of innocent people killed that say, I’m sorry your loved one got his head blown off. Then sign it, General Bullright.
It’s madness. Lunacy. The people running this country have syphilis of the brain. A nine-year open-ended war that will go on forever in which a conventional army with sophisticated weapons fights a ragged insurgency in which the bad guys don’t even have shoes on their feet. Can we win? Are we proud?
I know I know. They’re all evil and we’re all pure and righteous and blameless for whatever happens.
This is in actuality a first. Never before in recorded history has a general gone on television to ask the natives of a country with a much lower standard of living than the country the general represents, to understand and be patient with the general and his forces for destroying a part of that impoverished country. If it wasn’t tragic, this could be a comedy.
Conventional wisdom is that a conventional army captures and occupies territory (or a town) and installs a friendly regime. The insurgency, faced with an opponent with overwhelming superiority in firepower and weapons, disperses into remote areas and waits out the occupation while continuing hit-and-run attacks. Because the conventional army occupies ground and drives the other force off the battlefield, they (conventional army) claim victory, or progress maybe.
The insurgency simply moves off and takes up new positions and hunkers down to wait as they have through ten previous invasions going as far back as the Romans under Mark Anthony. If we capture one of their leaders, a new one steps up.
Perhaps we can go on TV and ask them to surrender.
