Guess the Blog

Free Republic or Kos/Americablog? Who can tell the difference anymore?
Let’s be clear. I’ve picked my share of fights with some of the inhabitants of Wingnut Blogsylvania. I got into a brawl with Michelle Malkin that got so heated that the Freepers joined in, which achieved the unintended consequence of sending my pageviews through the roof. Vexed by my attack, Malkin honored me with a mention in her book Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild (I was apparently a prime example of an unhinged wild liberal. Cool!). I mocked the trio at Powerline, two of whom at the time were blogging under the hilariously phallic noms de blog Hindrocket and the Big Trunk. I’ve had Freepers insult me and publish personal information about me. I don’t like being hounded by crazy people but I also don’t like cruelty, lies and unfairness. These used to be the hallmarks of the right wing. How far we’ve come in only a few years.
I’ve talked at length on Hour of Power about the lefto blogosphere and have focused my ire on Americablog’s John Aravosis and Daily Kos’s Markos. Here’s why:

What will the Republicans throw at Hillary Clinton in the fall?…surprisingly, still pulling punches with regards to what I write about Hillary. I don’t want to damage Hillary should she become our nominee, as increasingly unlikely as that appears. I don’t want to write about very real scandals in Hillary’s past, scandals that we will be forced to revisit for the next 8 months, and 8 years. I don’t want to write about the rumors about Bill that no one has written about to date, even though the rumors include lots of details which are at least just as true as Obama being a Muslim. While Hillary’s campaign is pushing known lies about Obama, such as the “Muslim” connection, most of the stories about Hillary are anything but lies. They’re real stories that she will have to discuss publicly, again and again and again, to her and our party’s detriment.
You will notice that neither Obama’s campaign nor Obama’s official, or unofficial, surrogates are talking about the Clintons’ past or present scandals, the Clintons’ negatives, what a Clinton run for the presidency will to Democratic congressional races and governor races across the country. The Clintons are counting on the fact that none of us will write about their negatives, because we’re too nice. So they can get as dirty as they want, with impunity.
Well, come Wednesday, if Hillary doesn’t win 65% of the delegates in Ohio and Texas, and still insists on staying in the race and ripping our party in two, it will be time to start treating candidate Clinton with the same golden rule she is using for candidate Obama. Why? Not for revenge, but for the sake of our party and the fall election. Hillary and her campaign are in the process of turning Obama into damaged goods in the fall. They didn’t have to go there, but beating Obama became more important to them than beating John McCain. So, the first question for Hillary come Wednesday, should she decide to continue risking our chances of winning in the fall even though the math says it’s over, will be the question she’s asking Obama today: What negatives will the Republicans throw against you in the fall? And as I’ve noted repeatedly, there are some negatives out there that most of you don’t even know about - but everyone in Washington knows about them, in detail. That’s because even Democrats who don’t love Hillary, don’t go there, for the good of the party. On Wednesday, the good of the party may dictate that we do.
Your liberal blogosphere, threatenting to blackmail a candidate.
But wait, there’s more!
Tuesday Morning Open Thread
Joe Sudbay (DC) · 8/26/2008I’ve been wandering around Denver for a couple days now and haven’t seen any sign of the PUMAs — the diehards who purport to support Hillary, but are really just a bunch of media hogs and losers. From my vantage point here in Denver, it feels like the hype has been overblown.

Okay I’m breathing again. We’re in this for the long haul. I just have to remember that. And I may get to go to Penn and work for Obama with my best friend! Great.But I DREAD the next 6 weeks of Clinton. And I agree. At this point I’ve decided Vince Foster might not have committed suicide and I’m beginning to wonder where Bill’s been getting his nookie and what was that deal with Whitewater again? Could you explain it to me? Unfortunately (fortunately) I know Obama is better than this, but I’m not, and I’m asking.

(UPDATE FROM LARRY JOHNSON–DCMedia Girl had trouble putting in the block quotes, which gave the unfortunate impression she was endorsing these views. She is not. She is demonstrating that no matter what Hillary does tonight she will be blamed for whatever trouble befalls Obama.)
wow, are they trying to scare super delegates from voting for hillary?
ha ha aha ha
what a joke…

“Your liberal blogosphere, threatenting to blackmail a candidate.”
wow. hypocrite.
i don’t see why you would even bother to post this garbage
It’s good to see the arguments of your enemy, so you can be prepared for their lies and slander in confrontation.
It’s even better to not have to visit their site, so they don’t think you’re visiting because you like them. I like the idea of not helping the advertising revenue of an idiot.

BTW Lou Dobbs one of my new heroes for calling the press on their love fest for Soetoro, or whatever his name is.
Then, there’s this:
Bill Clinton’s remarks.
Hilarious. Of course, President Clinton is not talking about Barezkobama. He’s talking about a purely hypothetical presidential campaign that may or may not be going on in 2008, may or may not be in the U.S., and may or may not even be on the planet Earth. No. Not talking about 0bama at all. No, sir. Not at all.
Whatever gets you through the night, Paul. Are you trying to convince the readers of the article, or are you trying to convince yourself?
McCain ‘08
Riddle me this…. If Barry Soetoro is found indeed to be Barry from Indonesia, who would be the Democratic nominee Clinton or Biden?
Clinton.
Biden is the poison fruit of fraud.
The fraud’s choice for vp would be eliminated.
SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN REAL SLOW!!!
W00T!!!!!! Here comes a {{{hug 4 you}}}
did you say CLINTON????
YEA BABY!
Read Hiedi Li Feldman’s blog. She explains what happens if a candidate becomes unavailable to serve!
For Hillary’s sake - I hope there’s not a full roll call vote - and Hillary ends it after NY votes.
She doesn’t need to have that losing vote on her record - and in the history books!
Very good point.
That link didn’t go to the article, it goes to an article titled Dems rip into McCain. I tried it several times, but I found it for those that are also interested in reading it. Great article! Thank you for posting about it. I adore Gloria now! GO GLORIA!!!

Your yeast infection is calling….
Change your name all you want, you fool no one, but your high school level of reasoning and humor just gives us an anthropological view of an Obama troll in the wild.
You make our case for us. Thank you.
ew I thought we had SOME class on this blog?
why can’t we ban shit like this poster here? really low level gutter smut.
kinda like toe jam on sore toes!
disgusting as well as stinky
Gallup Poll Daily tracking interviewing from Saturday, Sunday, and Monday indicates that Barack Obama has received no bounce in voter support from his selection of Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice presidential running mate. The race remains virtually tied with John McCain now slightly ahead 46%-44%.
http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx
I thought candidates usually got a 5 point bump from the VP announcement. Poor Obambi!
I see the post has already attracted some Freepers. Welcome. It’s been a long time since we went mano a mano.
So answer me this…
Do you ever wonder - do you ever really sit back and muse on how easily you seem to have found common cause with the freepers?
I mean - this place has regular doses of Corsi love… of praise and linkage to the likes of anti-semetic Andy Martin… of praise for people like Sean Hannity… of rantings - and even front-paged posts - of LaRouchies like Webster Tarpley… I mean WEBSTER FUCKIN’ TARPLEY, fer chrissakes?
Does that make you happy?
Are you proud?
Do you ever take a step back and perhaps think to yourself, maybe you went off the rails a bit somewhere?
Or is speculation that Barack Obama somehow caused the death of Stephanie Tubbs Jones just a necessary evil?
Do you ever take a step back and perhaps think to yourself, maybe you went off the rails a bit somewhere?
Do you?
Explain your acceptance of Obama’s relationship (and denial of it) with Ayers.
You can’t reason with Obamabots. It’s a complete waste of time. They can’t see what rational people see so clearly.
I would rather join an alliance for the good of America with NQ posters than to join an alliance with anti-Americans Rezko, Ayers, and a host of other people Obama seems to know.
Certain times of our lives requires doing the right thing and standing up. Even if it puts you on the same side as people you find almost nothing to agree about.
Except we all have one thing to agree about:
Barack Obama should not be President of our great Nation.
True RC.
So…you’re willing to live with obama’s retro FISA vote, cheney’s energy bill vote, and his racebaiting, because he doesn’t have an “R” in front of his name?
wow, you’re smart.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
barry loses in November by 10 points.
You’d think the DNC would WAKE UP and realize their pet can’t get the job done!
No, the “new” DNC is the party of Denial…
This is pretty vile and disgusting by the Obama supporters. Don’t they understand that no one wants to be associated with that crap? It’s obvious they have Clinton hate and don’t care about anything else.
“This is pretty vile and disgusting by the Cinton supporters. Don’t they understand that no one wants to be associated with that crap? It’s obvious they have Obama hate and don’t care about anything else.”
I fixed that for you.
It’s always a heartwarming experience to see how worried the obamaboils are — they become (almost charmingly) vicious the higher the level of their anxiety (notice the “scary” moniker, designed to elicit chills). Looking forward to seeing lil’ otto’s next vain stab.
Teehee.
He’s stabbing away with a dull paper clip, i.e. his intellect.
1. im not worried.
2. how is that “vicious”?
3. (notice the “scary” moniker, designed to elicit chills). it’s the name of my friends dog.
4. notice the “teehee” designed to make you look cute. does it make you feel more girlie or is it pure regression?
You should get your friend’s dog to post here for you, he might have more coherent things to say.
I do notice the following:
It is I’m and not im.
You begin a sentence by capitalizing the first letter of the word.
It is easier to
then it is to “teehee”.
“It is easier to then it is to “teehee”.
It’s also “than.”
Dumb shit.
Guess it’s grammar and speeling lesson time again in the land of PUMA….
Really though- why do you guys always fall back on the “You’re too stupid to even spell your posts right” logic when it’s someone espousing a belief opposite yours?
There are hundreds if not thousands of spelling and grammar errors on this site every day- yet you guys attack when someone points them out for a supporter, and ridicule when an “other” makes them.
Then again, since when has anything here ever made sense?
Um, try not to shoot your own dick off before trying to prevent your opponent from shooting off his privates.
SPEELING? Douche.
No, the “teehee” is a reference to your childish game of “I know you are but what am I?” A game that you try to pass off as intellect.
Yes, you are so smug and proud of your wonderful ability to make a point using games preschoolers play.

Bushbots same as the Obamabots…YUCK!!!
Because I love my country, I will vote for Senator John McCain.
HillMcCain ‘08 Power !
God Save America !!!
Can’t help but notice how the Democrats were so concerned about Republican corruption but now when a candidate has a (D) behind his name, corruption is fine and dandy.
Nobody dares mention Obummer’s Rezko money connection. Can’t mention Obummer campaigning in Kenya for Odinga who proposed installing sharia law in Kenya and whose supporters committed ethnic cleansing. Cannot mention his Muslim past - oh, and by the way, I do not object to anyone being a Muslim. What I object to is Obummer denying he ever was a Muslim.
Anyway, so McCain is up by two points? Must be because the whole country got to hear Michelle speak last night. (Here come the cries of racism.)
Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we?
http://www.creepygif.com/image.php?i=10
ritamary,
you’re missing the ENTIRE POINT OF PUMA!!!!
Democrats are trying to clean up after their own; haven’t seen republicans ever do that, unless it’s politically necessary.
Good luck!
I agree with you and I’ll even help yell about it but I’m now and probably forever staying Indie.
I could consider coming back tho if they got smart and picked Hillary in 08 but I’m not gonna wait around to find out in 12.
Indie until further notice.
It just depends on how many of them are infected still with the HOPIUM. I know the REST of the country is OVER It and some are getting hostile.
I saw dozens of new McCain stickers and yard signs today. PLUS (very sad to say) more than ONE truck with those stupid nasty (not nazi) KKK Southern flags on their bumper.
One truck had them plastered all over the back. It was horrifying!! I can’t BELIEVE WHAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS STARTED IN THIS COUNTRY!!!
THIS MUST BE HOW HE PLANS TO DO IT! (breathing)
I don’t like it, ya’ll
faxed to H DEAN at his hotel on 8/25/08:
Dear Dr. Dean,
I will first quote the relevant rules to you, in case you missed them, from the rulebook:
DNC RULES
ARTICLE 8, SECTION F1: “NO SECRET BALLOT SHALL BE PERMITTED AT ANY STAGE OF THE CONVENTION OR ITS COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS.”
SECTION 8F3: “VOTING SHALL BE BY VOICE VOTE, OR WHEN PRESCRIBED BY THESE RULES, BY ROLL CALL VOTE.”
I have been silently outraged at your flouting of established DNC rules, since your installation of Barack Obama as nominee, when the immoral and illegal vote at the Rules Committee took place in May. Now we receive word that you are planning another atrocity upon the very rules our great party abides by, in scheduling what amounts to a secret vote.
You have to stop this kind of behavior, immediately. Even the rather disreputable Republican party would not upend its own rules in this way. It was bad enough to suffer eight years of an illegally installed president. You are now out-Roving Rove, and maybe even out-Nixoning Nixon. (What you are plotting right now makes Watergate look like Tinkertoys.) I am a lifelong Democrat and have become, for the first time, and under your watch, ashamed to be one, and will not be one for long if you do not do what you were hired to do, entrusted to do, and run a proper, transparent nominating convention, floor fights and all, if it should come to that, and with all votes counted and voices heard.
Sincerely,
etc
good letter
Funny those Lefto wing-nuts always say Hillary is HATED by Democrats, when the fact it is THEY are in the margins.
PRINCETON, NJ — The intense battle for the Democratic nomination between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama seems to have done little to diminish Democrats’ affinity for the New York senator. Eighty percent of Democrats have a favorable opinion of her, compared to 74% just before Obama clinched the presidential nomination in early June and 82% before the primaries began, when she still rated as a strong front-runner for the nomination. Her favorable rating among all Americans is 54%, the most positive since just after she officially announced her candidacy in early 2007.

when the fact is, it is THEY who are in the margins.
Didn’t I hear some of those nutroot people are ex-republicans?
Yup, Kos and Huffington are, not sure about Americablog. Me, I’ve been a Democrat since before I could vote. Never looked back…until now.
Seeing how the party is going along
with Mr. Obama makes me wonder.
Does the left really care about this country?
Were the conservatives correct that there is
a fringe leftist element that would like to ruin this nation of ours? Hollywood is filled with proud
America haters.
Country before Party One voice one vote a show of unity Nobama a silent vote is a vote for O, along with a write in vote a no vote, and a third party vote, Vote the experience that the Dnc overlooked in the Good ole boy candiddate, Nobama ever.
We have done this long with a senate withe the power, we can wait for 4 more years of universal healthcare, , hillary will not loose, because Obama picked his friends and sucked the race card into the elcection. The Gop , will use Obamas own words to win the election and no matter what Hill says , O made his bed so lay down in it and cry. His past will be the demise, of him, and the word Change , that he changed the meaning of his selection, just a word, to feed his supporters , with no plans. No one forced O to use the statements that will help his demise, Lord knows Hill did not write. McCain 2008

Una something that really puzzles me is how quickly the elite dems must have forgotten
they really DON’T want to piss of the ZELL MILLER/ROBERT BYRD wing of the far LEFT OLDDDDDD ASS DEMocratic Party!
They really don’t. I live near a LOT of them apparently! Poking them with that race stick just gets their engines HOT!
off not of
doh
Dawnelle, believe me, the reason so many liberal academics are enthralled with Obama is that they see in him the culmination of their socialist dreams. They hear in his words all the leftie lingo they studied back in college. It’s already clear that Michelle’s little performance last night as the South Side June Cleaver echoed some of Saul Alinsky’s words from Rules for Radicals. Here’s an excerpt from Alinsky:
“The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.”
Sound familiar? Here is what Michelle said last night:
“All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.”
Behind her little Stepford Wife fashion makeover beats the heart of Angela Davis. That New Yorker cover was no joke.
Ironically it could be McCain that could
save us. Of course McCain is too pro-market
for a my tastes, but as a moderate, it
is better than hardline socialism.
Funny how votes no longer count when applied to Obama and Biden. Obama’s FISA vote? Okay. He has a secret plan, much like Nixon’s secret plan to end the Vietnam war, to end FISA. Hillary vote against FISA? Shows she just wanted to embarass Obama by doing what the majority of Democrats wanted done.
Biden votes for the IWR? Not a problem. It shows he was actually anti-war. Anyway it didn’treally authorize Bush to go to war.
Hillary voted for it and said vote is unforgivable. It shows she’s a warmonger. Her vote shows the IWR did authorize Bush to go to war.
I’ve seen some political contortions but these are classic.
I’m glad I don’t venture into all those “friendly” democratic blogs!
I’ll take my chances with the republicans…if they back-stabbed like dems, Bush would have a shorter term!
The BO crowd would be better served by scouring up voters to replace all of us who have jumped ship!!!!
dude (er madame)
I’ve NEVER seen such “eat their own” attitude as I’ve seen the D’s do to each other.
And to think for years and years the mantra of the DNC open thread was how Republicans will eat their own.
Now that I think of it they do the opposite and just let them keep running and working (example Craig, Vitter)
of course the D’s still have the thief jefferson from New Orleans was it? That old Donna stomping ground? uh huh.
Neo Left Fascists have become the other side of the coin of Neo Cons. They have become what they despised. Caught in their own irony.
How fine.

‘Bama’s gonna need a new bus.
I think they’re already trying to lay the blame at the Clintons for Obama’s sagging polling. That’s why I think Dean and Pelosi have been so bellicose, because if Barky goes down, they go down.
I’m positive that if they fuck this up with Barky there will be a challenge to their leadership. The Clintons have a track record in the Democratic Party, Barky does not. I think few elected officials will continue covering for a one off loser like Barack Obama over the Clintons.
