Mike Huckabee is Satan

My God, what an asshole:

Mr Huckabee has faced grave doubts about his foreign policy experience, his greatest vulnerability, but got one of the biggest cheers of the night when asked about the incident last week when Iranian boats swarmed US navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, Mr Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."

I have grave doubts about his experience as a friend, brother, husband, father, and decent human being, period. And a Christian. Jesus.

Right Wing Blogs "regurgitate exactly and put up on their blogs what you said to them"

NEVER FORGET THIS QUOTE. NEVER.

Dan Bartlett, White House Communications Director until 2005, and Counseler to the President until June, 2007, said this in November about the White House's relationship with Right Wing blogs:

That’s what I mean by influential. I mean, talk about a direct IV into the vein of your support. It’s a very efficient way to communicate. They regurgitate exactly and put up on their blogs what you said to them. It is something that we’ve cultivated and have really tried to put quite a bit of focus on.

It is so honest, so funny, so sad, and so embarassing all in one shattering moment.

It is Michelle Malkin - regurgitating.
It is Redstate - regurgitating.
It is Instapundit - regurgitating.
It is The Corner at the National Review - regurgitating.
It is Power Line - regurgitating.
It is All the bloggers at Townhall - regurgitating.

It's all of them. The New Stenographers. The Regurgitators. The Right Wing Blogs, revealed as the spectacular hacks they are by the very source of their hackiness.

Don't forget that quote.

Wingers Show Their Colors

No pun intended.

But the stated form of the objection concerned not King's race but his obnoxiousness as a man. He was a windbag. He was pompous and self-dramatizing, He was holier than thou. Plus, he had started getting involved where he didn't belong, in raising questions about the Vietnam War. Through the rest of Martin Luther King's life, the father of my best home-town friend always went out of his way to refer sneeringly to "Martin Luther Nobel."

MMalkin Hates the Wall Street Journal

The breakdown continues.

Oh, and she hates President Bush too.

It's the creepy kind of thing that's kind of fun to watch...from a safe distance.

Filipino-American Sentenced for Espionage

For some time now Michelle Malkin (née Maglalang) has been helping keep America safe from murderous hordes of foreigners by alerting us every time she hears about a horrendous crime committed by an illegal alien.

You may find that bizarre and deceiving and dangerously inflammatory, and so forth, since horrendous crimes are obviously often committed by people who aren't illegal aliens. Jeffrey Dahmer, for example, was not an illegal alien. Nor was John Wayne Gacy, or Timothy McVeigh, just to give a few examples from the Horrendous Hall of Fame. Given such an obvious truth, you might say that attempting to make a connection between illegal aliens and horrendous crimes makes as much sense as attempting to make a connection between white American citizens and horrendous crimes. Or Filipino-Americans and horrendous crimes.

But you would be deceiving yourself with clearheaded thinking and logic and other such Liberal nonsense.

With all that in mind, I would like to begin to do my part to make America more safe by alerting you, on a regular basis, to crimes committed by Filipino-Americans, which might or might not happen a lot more often than you think. Even crimes like the ultra-unAmerican - espionage.

More to come.

They Should Be Registered as a Hated Group, II

Darling of the Modern Right Wing Ann Coulter wants something done to the Jews:

When pressed by Deutsch regarding whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say."

"We don't want to wipe Isael off the map - we just don't want any Jews there."

Your Modern Republican Party.

Deutsch was freaking out by the end. Good for him.

Malkin Challenged to Debate SCHIP

Ezra Klein calls Malkin out on her goon-squad-leading tactics against Graeme Frost and family.

It’s militant leftist bloggers," writes Malkin, "who wouldn’t know a good-faith argument if it bit them in the lip." Let's have a good faith argument. I will debate Michelle Malkin anytime, anywhere, in any forum (save HotAir TV, which she controls), on the particulars of S-CHIP. We can set the debate at a think tank, on BloggingHeads, over IM. Hell, we can set up the podiums in the shrubbery outside my house, since that seems to be the sort of venue she naturally seeks out. And then if Malkin wants an argument, she can have one. We'll talk S-CHIP and nothing but -- nothing of the Frosts, or Congress, or her blog.

My sense has been that Malkin doesn't want an argument. Rather, she wants to feed her readers the steady stream of outrage that keeps her traffic numbers up. But I realized tonight that I could be wrong, and I shouldn't assume Malkin doesn't want a real argument unless I actually ask her.

So c'mon Michelle: Let's debate health care. Prove to the world that you really want "a good-faith argument." We can talk crowd-out, and cross-subsidization, and whether lower-middle class entrepreneurs are able to procure health care on the individual market. If this is a policy argument you care so deeply about as to travel to the Frost family's house to see if they really deserved S-CHIP benefits, surely you'll want to set up a web cam and talk through the issue.




They Should Be Registered as a Hate Group

The frothing continues, and continues to be noticed (this time in the NYTimes).

And it gets even uglier:

Mounting evidence suggests that the right-wing smear campaign may have been orchestrated by a staffer in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) office.

An aide to a senator, or a senator himself, may have helped initiate the attacks. Beautiful.
