A Chicken Is Not Pillage

The Stupid Is Strong With This One

It seems that media darling Andrew Hammond is having a tantrum.  His reason for existing is falling apart before his very eyes; his fifteen minutes was only five, because the meany Democrats don't give a flying frack about Operation Chaos.  His beloved weapon for terrorizing Democrats, Hillary Clinton, has been ... defused.  Those sneaky Democrats used an arcane form of language (some call it ... mathematics) and decided to leave poor Andrew helpless by taking away his toy.  When the vote comes to Montana, Professor Chaos will be as frustrated and futile as he has ... well ... so far already.

So now Andrew is defending the honor of Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan by claiming that they've been disenfranchised.  Actually, they haven't.  They got to vote, no problem.  Their delegates to the Democratic Convention, on the other hand, won't be seated.  I've tasked Andy with seeing the difference, but I've little hope that he will; he's just not that sharp.  But I have to admire the way he soldiers on against the adversity of his own stupidity.  Let's look for the points of bravery, that we think the best of Andrew Hammond:

1)  The fate of the Florida and Michigan delegates hasn't been decided yet.  Only a few things are known.  Michigan and Florida willfully and knowingly broke party rules, rules that Andy's Hillbomb signed off on.  It's more than just a touch hypocritical for her to argue that they be seated now.  We can forgive Andrew of any hypocrisy; he just isn't bright enough to understand that rules often matter (I fear for his kids, even the teenage daughter he called "babe").  The rules committee has already stated that Michigan's delegates will not be seated per vote because Barack Obama wasn't even on the ballot.  He withdrew his name, following those 'rule thingies' that Andy has such a difficult time with.  And here's the kicker:  even with the pledged delegates from MI and FL, Hillary still stands a dismally small chance of taking the nomination.  She won't catch Obama in pledged delegates or in the popular vote.  Let me restate that.  She can't catch Obama in pledged delegates or the popular vote.

2)  This primary will likely be settled by the time Montana votes.  Yes, Clinton will win West Virginia and Kentucky by playing on racial fears.  After all, her campaign's current battle cry is that white folks won't vote for Obama (the black guy.)   Let's just disregard the fact that the Clinton camp is rather overtly calling white people racists, and focus on the fact that white people have and are voting for Obama.  That's why he has such a huge lead and will win the nomination.  Between sooperdooper delegate pickups, and Oregon's vote,  Obama will have this thing locked up before Professor Chaos can unleash his fury in Montana.

3)  It's nice and admirable that Andrew cares for the poor Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan.  Okay, I can't even write that with a straight face.   Andy doesn't give a shit about anything but his own fame as Professor Chaos.   Andrew is the worst (read:  Stupid) form of concern troll.  If he actually gave a salient shit about voter's rights beyond party, he would have been all over the Montana Republicants for their caucus idea, which really did disenfranchise Montana Republican voters as regards their choice for Presidential candidate,  Florida and Michigan got to vote.  Montana, not so much ... okay, not at all.  That's what 'disenfranchise' really means, Andrew.  Hopefully, you've learned that now.  But I highly doubt that you have that capacity.

Nope, Hillary has lost this thing, fair and square.  The only reason Andrew cares is that the news rags won't be calling him any more.  Boo Hoo for Andrew Hammond.

But since I'm committed to helping the rationally handicapped, I'd rather light a candle than let Andy bang his head against a door ... continuously.  Here's a handy tool that folk can use to create wildly fanciful scenarios whereby Hillary Clinton might actually win the nomination.  This should keep Andrew drooling and happy for hours, if he can figure out how to work the thing (or click a link, which most of my Dextra-oriented readers appear incapable of doing.)

And while we're on the topic of the deeply stupid, I just have to applaud Astroturf Cody at the website BullShit Cairn for attempting to rebrand Democrats as the partay of Corruption.  Of course, It's kinda goofy that he's referring to a "culture" of corruption, and attempting to hang it all on one or two individuals.  We can forgive Astroturf Cody for not understanding the meanings of words; he's undertaken a heroic task.  After all, not only is he attempting to smear a working guy who is working hard for the state as "corrupt", but he's demanding that his own ignorance be assuaged.  Honest to God, he's just told Montana that our Governor owes him something he's only asked for on a blog, and thinks we're stupid enough to believe that the Governor is "hiding" something by ignoring the astroturf gnat who remains proudly HIDDEN.  Andrew's form of stupid is rather pitiable.  But Astroturf Cody?  That is some seriously high quality stupid there, and he just asked Montana to dumb down to his level.

I Think My Reading Comprehension Has Been Unfairly Insulted!

Steve Eschenbacher, Idiot for H.D. 96, has rather unfairly insulted my reading comprehension.  He wrote, rather plainly, that politicians will lie to you.  He is a politician.  He's running for office, and he will lie to you.  That's what he wrote.  I don't think I failed to comprehend anything ... unless, Steve thinks he's not a politician because he hasn't been elected yet (with no dismal chance of ever being).  Of course, reading as thoroughly as possible, one could take his meaning to be that politicians only lie in the promises they make after getting elected.  So, no promise they make while running could be a lie.  After all, they haven't been elected yet; they are not politicians.

So one really has to wonder on what grounds he takes Hillary Clinton to task for lying while running for office?  Is he then admitting that politicians lie while running as well as after being elected?  Why yes!  Yes he is.  And so, he stands corrected.  Politicians, running or sitting, will lie to you.  Steve Eschenbacher is a politician.  Therefore, quite plainly by his own admission, Steve Eschenbacher will and is lying to you.

Perhaps it isn't my reading comprehension that is open to question, but Steve's poor abilities at reasoning.  Hmmm?

And we allow this Idiot to draw a public paycheck ... Why?

Worth 1000 Words

I've been saying this since the great "tax cuts = energy subsidy" of 2001.

Right Wing Think

Steve Eschenbacher, Idiot For H.D. 96, took time out from his busy campaign to notice that he doesn't know anything about the Internets , or web services, or privacy for that matter.   In doing so, he teems up with Dave Budge, fresh off his stint of flattering blowing smoke up the asses, (no that's not right either), profiting through the advice he gives old people concerning their money, to take a cheap shot at yours truly.  What's remarkable is the glimpse into Budge-think:

Well, first on a point of fact, Wulfgar is employed by the ASMSU (I think) and not the state per se.

Emphasis mine.  If he thinks it, it must be so, even if it isn't.

UPDATE:  Even though Steve, ignorant as always, insinuates that Matt is up to something nefarious with his damnable Interwebby coding highjinks, he posts the link to at least one other website ... spreading the evil as it were.  Yup, this guy wants to represent you,  Missoula.  Kindly let him know what you think.

UPDATE 2:  Just so that Ste ve knows I'm not remotely as full of crap as he is:

UPDATE 3:  Steve Eschebacher, a candidate for the State House of Montana, refuses to admit that he accused me of misuse of state funds.  I have proof that he has done so, but he refuses to admit that he lied about me having done so.  Vote accordingly, Missoula.

How Dumb Do They Think We Are?

I've just received an advertisement from Bresnen cable that causes my brain to hurt.  At the top, in big bold white letters on blue background:

You too, can save hundreds of dollars a year by bundling your existing Bresnen Cable service with ... yada yada ...

Right below is it is a great intro with bold blue type on a white background:

For about $50 dollars more per month than you're currently paying, you can enjoy: ...

WTF?

Will Max Baucus Buy My Vote?

Gee, let's see.  Considering I've never gotten one red cent from the guy, I'm thinking ... not.  That won't stop the stupid from thinking so.  One can only assume that in their universe the appropriate amount of money will cause them to drop on their knees and su* ... lets just leave that.  It's probably more to the point that Wiley is on the payroll and can't see beyond his own nose, which is stuck deep in  ... let's just leave that too.

And, since my response comment is "in moderation", and I don't trust Republicant astroturf as far as I can throw it, I leave my reply here:

See that middle finger waving there?  That’s for you, Wiley.

I didn’t leave myself “an exit strategy”. I was dead serious. That’s called integrity. Look into the concept, you insulting pissant.

Update #1:  Excuse me, little dog, but it's pathetic to call my reaction "venom" when you've just accused me of being 'purchased'.  And I don't give a crap what you think I'd be like in person.  Truth in a teacup, if you come up to my face and call me a whore, I'm likely to take issue.  A coward such as you may think yourself clever that you can do so while hiding, and isn't the Internet grand.  I am a decent guy, undeserving of your bullshit, and you ... show what you know, cupcake.

Things I've Learned From The Righty Montana Inter-tubes

1)  Children wanting things is a tawdry political trick.
    a)  Wanting things for children is even worse.

2)  Black men who are correct in their predictions are even more evil than ... ?

“When his enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli” to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, Mr. Wright recalled, “with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.” Mr. Wright added that his trip implied no endorsement of either Louis Farrakhan’s views or Qaddafi’s.

That can't be true, can it?

3)  Barack Obama Hillary Clinton will be the death of the Democrat Partay.

4)  Barack Obama got money for his wife (how exactly remains the domain of innuendo), which is so much worse than screwing around on her ... for money and power.

5)  Africa really sucks.

What does Africa have to be proud of? After thousands of years of civilization, Africa is still a cauldron of racial, ethnic and tribal hatreds with a barbarity only matched by the growing Muslim populations. Don't believe me? Ask the man on the street in Zimbabwe, or the man on the street in the Soweto area surrounding Joburg.

I mean, really, why would that be?  At least with the Muslims, we can blame their "barbarity" on the religion.  With all of Africa, the only common denominator is ...  hmmm ... uhhm ... they're black? I mean, Mike explains that they love America and yearn for freedom, but they just can't achieve it.  What could possibly be to blame for their backwards state?  Melanin, obviously.

6)  Non-Christians really *do* understand Christianity better than Christians ... so much so that they'll tell Christians what they must believe.

Here's my problem with a church that proclaims that their congregation is unashamedly black and that they are an African people: the G-d of your church should be color blind and geography neutral. One of the lessons of your faith should be that G-d loves ALL his children. And don't be so proud of Africa, the cradle of civilization was in the fertile crescent of present-day Iraq. One may even nod in the direction of Egypt, but the ancient Egyptians were all different skin colors but not black, so this worship of the "cradle of civilization" as something distinctly black is a delusion.

Apparently they ought to hate Africa as well, because it sucks and I guess lovin' that isn't Christian.

7)  Your pastor IS YOUR GOD!  Agree with him, or at least be accused of it!  Your spirituality and political philosophy flows from the holy man whose homilies you attend ... as long as you aren't Mitt Romney, or Mike Huckabee, or those for whom we are Constitutionally forbidden to use a religious test, like white guys (read 'safe').

Obama could very well be our next president, and this is his pastor of 20 years. It's reasonable question to ask, does Obama hate us?

I'd kind of expect that reaction from a Catholic or Mormon who actually believes that their church leaders speak for God, but not from one of those who apparently doesn't embrace that particular mythology.

The commenters are even better.

B. Hussein Obama never said he was offering “hope” for Christians or Jews or white Americans. He was talking about “change” for them. And now you know what kind of changes he had in mind.

LIBERAL FASCISM!!!  Black Rule!  They'll take your daughters to orgies and gang-banger the lot of you, white folks!

On second thought, I guess I just haven't learned shit from many Montana righty websites, except this:  They are all in favor of a religious test for public office, as long as it's the Black Guy.  They are all in favor of ridiculous paranoid delusions about some person's personal affiliations, as long as it's the black guy.   They will piss and moan and bitch a fucking fit about me bringing up their latent and obvious racism, as long as it might only hurt the black guy ... or the White woman ... or anyone who's a Democrat. 

And I'm supposed to be the stupidly partisan one ... right.

Ya' Lie Down With Dogs

I get real frickin' tired of being on the 'same side' of an issue as complete retards.

Fact V. Fiction V. Moron

Fact: The picture was probably darkened in toto to add to the sinister effect desired in an attack ad.

Fiction:   The Clinton campaign says they have nothing to do with anything about this ad ... and yet it's hosted on their fricking website.

Moron:  I'm going to completely miss the point of my own links ... derf!

Okay, Mike Has Gone Bye-Bye

What have you got, Egon?

As if it wasn't already obvious, Harris is off his nut.  He begins his take-down of Obama with claims of manufactured outrage over a radio pundits manipulatuion of Islamophobia, supports the Islamophobia, and then asks, 'so what's the big deal'?   He even claims:

despite renouncing and rejecting Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in a recent debate, Obama stopped short of saying he rejected Farrakhan's description of him as “the hope of the entire world," and specifically said he would prefer Nation of Islam supporters voted for someone else.

Now, if you can parse that sentence, it appears that Mike is saying that it isn't enough that Obama renounces allegiance to Farrakhan, but that Obama is required to start telling people what they are allowed to say in his behalf and who they should vote for (not him).  Does that strike you as retarded, 'cause it definitely looks retarded to me.  Usually, people who advocate such anti-American sentiments are called traitors, but I think we can forgive Mike for just being 'nucking futz'.

Mike then goes off another tangent about how all the ridiculous and stupid attacks against Obama started with (*GASP*) Democrats.  Yeah, so?  Political enemies attacked Obama stupidly, so that makes it okay for other political enemies to attack Obama stupidly.  Apparently, Party affiliation is only sacrosanct to those who feel party affiliation is everything ... go figure.  That is a rather lame projection to justify poor thinking by claiming others did the same first.  Perhaps Mike isn't insane, but just regressing into an 8 year old.  Time will tell.

Mikey then reverses himself, yet again, and then berates McCain for not embracing the attacks that Mike just said don't really matter, even though they do.  To Mike, one shouldn't apologize for an attack that really wasn't an attack unless it came from a Democrat, and then it was an unfair attack.  Man, I get a headache trying to keep up with this kind of psychosis.

Oh, and Mike?  McCain isn't a Maverick, he is a political liability, and he's going to lose.  Get used to it, and try not to slobber when you realize the weakness you endorse.

Mike then goes all off about how you can't call Obama a liberal (but he really IS!!!!!one!).  He uses an article from the Boston Globe to 'prove' his point.

The Globe:

One of the more appealing innovations of Obama's campaign is the way the candidate ends his stump speeches by running through the arguments against him: too young, too new, too naive, too trusting. Speaking before thousands of cheering young supporters in the Texas capitol, Obama added another: too liberal.

Notice, please, that the Globe, while trying pathetically to claim that Obama tells you what you can call him, actually recognizes that Obama repudiates what people *do* call him.  Obama's words:

"Oh, he's liberal, he's liberal," Obama said, mimicking his critics. "Let me tell you something. There's nothing liberal about wanting to reduce money in politics. That is common sense. There's nothing liberal about wanting to make sure [our soldiers] are treated properly when they come home . . . . There's nothing liberal about wanting to make sure that everybody has healthcare. We are spending more on healthcare in this country than any other advanced country, but we've got more uninsured. There's nothing liberal about saying that doesn't make sense, and we should so something smarter with our healthcare system."

Damn.  It looks to me as if Obama is telling the truth.  What is implied by Mike's psychotic label of 'liberal' really has nothing to do with what Obama says, does it?  Just like it's no big shakes that Obama's middle name is HUSSEIN!!!!DIE US DOGS!!!  At no point does the Globe show Obama saying that you can't call him a liberal, only that you are wrong if you call him that pejoratively.  That's called fighting back, something a weenie like Mike Harris poorly understands (except as regards the weenie he's going to vote for in McCain.)

The really fun part is the last few paragraphs where Mikey displays his ignorance and starts pulling anti-communist rhetoric right out of his ass.

He's an old-time socialist. Very little of the stuff that he says he's going to do, his policies, will ever happen.

Mike knows this how?

You go out, you try be a young person, you try to get a job under President Obama. He wants to increase the minimum wage and index it to inflation. You want to blast young people right out of the job market, do the Obama plan. Good-bye high school and college jobs for kids, good-bye entry-level jobs.

This has been unproven, time and time again in the real fricking world.

So will Barack step up and give our tax money to those he puts out of work? Yeah. Because it's never going to be his fault. It will be the evil Republicans in Congress who have no compassion...think the SCHIP debate!

Sorry Mikey, but your Republicans in Congress are going to be in a such a *HUGE* minority that they will have plausible deniability.

He wants to manage upper-end wages, CEO wages. 

GOOD!  I'm tired of my investments giving huge bonuses to people who lead companies into the red.

He wants socialized medicine, to expand unions, empower teachers unions. All of this stuff is Marxism when you boil it all down.

Even copying that comment caused the froth to splatter the inside of my computer screen.  Mike hasn't a fucking clue what he's talking about but he'll rave at you just the same.  COMMIES!!! BEWARE!!!

These are all old ideas, old regressive progressive ideas that have failed, and Obama is a young, naïve man who apparently holds tight to failed old ideas. But the cool thing about being a liberal progressive is that they're like a Trojan Horse, who have to shield their agenda from you, the suckers.

There you go, people.  Mike the psycho, has just called you all idiots because you don't agree with him.  I'd call this a desperate attempt at elitism, but I'm laughing too hard.

How far would Obama get if he actually came out and said that he want's to nationalize health care, raise taxes to confiscatory levels on the "filthy" rich (i.e. who make more than $75,000 a year) preemptively surrender in Iraq, and flood the country with illegal aliens and then turn them into citizens in a transparent attempt to get votes and keep the the nanny state solvent?

This is where Mikey proves that he knows absolutely nothing about Obama's health care proposals or tax plans or the War On Terrified Americans.   Obama has clearly stated his plans for health care, and unlike Clinton, he has gone for opt-in.  Where he has a commie mandate is for kids.  NANNY STATE!!!  Excuse me, but humans have employed nannies for our children for going on 10 thousand years.  Calling Obama a 'nanny statist' for insuring our young is a complement.   Repealing the tax cuts for  wealthy Americans is well favored.  Since the tax cuts were offered 8 years ago, the wealthy have gotten wealthier, and incomes for those who work for a living have flatlined.  Now, Mike, having inherited wealth that he turned into more wealth, obviously thinks that having to pay more is heinous ... to him!  Too bad.  It isn't socialism, it's Democracy, and Mike only wants to cloud the issue with sympathy for himself and fear of that very bad thing.  I think that behind that very bad thing are self-serving head cases like Mike, and I'm not alone in that.  Too bad, Mikey.  The country has given you a lot, and now it's in debt and need.  Your ante is again required.  Pay the fuck up.

As for the great Crusade in Iraq, over 65% of the country now see it as  a vanity war that saps resources from the real WOT.  Mike has issue with Obama ... why?  Because Obama won't put Israelis before Americans?  I really don't get what the hell he's on about, here.  He'll have to explain it through the haze of his obvious foaming nuttiness.  And the illegal alien thing?   It's pretty definite that Mike pulled this terror fantasy right out of his ass, 'cause that just hasn't been real important on the Democratic side .  (GO GO TANCREDO!!!!)  But nevertheless, Mike is going to vote for a guy who's immigration policies are as or more liberal than Obama's.  I can only assume that's because his wife told him to.

What really pulls all this together, and establishes Mike as a  fruitloop, is the comment left to his website that Mike hasn't "repudiated or refuted".  I print it here, since this post might actually shame Mike into action:

If anyone is a racist it’s Obama. He belongs to a black separatist church which only ascribes to black values and Africa. They revere Louis Farrakhan. The pastor is anti-white. If he is elected, white people will become second class citizens. Are you for that?
Also Obama is a world socialist controlled by the CFR and Zbigniew Brzezhinski. He will go to war in Darfur, Pakistan, or any other place they tell him to.
This article below proves that he’s merely a tool for the world government and promoter of a tax to be paid to the UN to fuel its totalitarian control over us and to redistribute the wealth to other countries. 
“A nice-sounding bill called the “Global Poverty Act,” sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.”
“The bill defines the term “Millennium Development Goals” as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000).”
“In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning “small arms and light weapons” and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.”
An Obama presidency would be racist and a disaster for the USA.
In one of Obama’s campaign offices, there is even a flag with a picture of a murderous Marxist dictator on it!
Read the rest here:
http://www.gopusa.com/commentary/ckincaid/2008/ck_02131.shtml
“MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama’s presidential bid is a “revolutionary” phenomenon in the United States.”
Yeah, the Marxist Revolution.
Judge the man by the company he keeps. He’s a dangerous empty suit.


Go Ron Paul!
The only real conservative -- still solvent, still in the race.

There you go.  Mike Harris, Ron Paul supporter.

And he thinks that Obama is the racist.  And just for the record, GeeGuy, you know better than to endorse this kind of incredible crap.

Update:  Since Harris seems oblivious to the obvious, I think I need to point out directly that requiring him to own or repudiate the insanity of his commenters is exactly *his* argument.  His refusal to do so means either that his argument about Obama is crap (it is) and/or that Mike is a wailing hypocrite.  But at least it clarifies who the real wannabe-martyr is here.

He establishes his 'hypocrite' cred when he posts from an email I sent him, after getting all up-in-arms for claiming that I posted "private" emails from him.  I've never done that.  Convenient morality you got there, Harris.

And he wonders why I think he's an asshole ...
