(Left: This incredibly amateurish Photoshop of Barack Obama's head on the body of the bad guy from The Road Warrior is not at all intended as a comment on the absurd crudity of wingnut attempts to make Obama out like he's about to usher in a post-apocalyptic neo-fascism. Nuh-uh.)
Americans are increasingly alarmed at the prospect of a Barack Obama presidency, and with good reason. As the always very sensible Michael Barone reports, there can be little doubt that an Obama administration would be a "thugocracy" in which few if any conservative talk show hosts would be free to broadcast idiotic smears without receiving telephone calls from Americans who disagree with them. Even more chillingly, Obama threatens corporate America's cherished right to rig union elections. And Barone does not fail to remind us that in Missouri local prosecutors threatened to arrest anyone who criticizes Obama about anything, something that remains magically true even though the prosecutors he mentions never remotely said anything of the kind (you can watch them fiendishly not saying it here).
Fortunately the nation is set to awaken before the nightmare commences. As the always reliable and not at all crazy dead-ender HillBuzz, who supports John McCain and thus remains loyal to Hillary Clinton by doing the total opposite of what Hillary Clinton has said her supporters should do , reported on Thursday,
The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case....
If everything rumored here is true, it looks like David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, SoetorObama himself, and possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together, in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party leadership knew what the SoetorObama campaign and ACORN were up to and allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to defraud the public.
THAT would certainly be one Hell of a shock tomorrow morning.
Well, I was certainly shocked yesterday by the complete lack of this happening. But then again, Patrick Fitzgerald is notoriously crafty prosecutor. The savvy move on his part would be to prosecute imaginary crimes in a pretend jurisdiction. So do not be "shocked" when Judge Cornelius W. Kornflake of the Court of Fantasical Frippery sentences Senator Obama to 500 Unicorn Years in the Gumdrop Gaol.
In the meantime you can pore over this sort of intricate trivia, which is damning insofar as it is presented with hyperlinks. Or else you can just rest assured that Obama will eventually be arrested for the heinous crime of winning an election in Chicago. Or maybe you can head to the pawn shop and stock up on firearms, as all sensible Americans are doing in the face of a probable Obama victory, including even black Americans (read the comments), for reasons which may appear mysterious at first but become far more logical once you realize that black Americans have evidence from blogs like "Confederate Yankee" that swarms of halfwit cryptoracist paranoiacs are squawking off to the gun shops. What would you do? (Representative CY commenter: "I've owned guns most of my adult life and still fondly (not) remember the dark Clinton days. But even back then I didn't bother to do what I did last week. I finally applied for a concealed permit." For added fun skip a post and enjoy the commenter who is terrified that President Obama will wickedly fire every US attorney whose politics he doesn't like.)
Anyhow you slice it, an Obama victory portends a dystopian hellscape. Worst case scenario, progressives will be able to drag him into putting through, oh, a single payer healthcare system, which is exactly like a gulag except in every possible rational sense.

Fitz!
thers! dayam, give me a minute to put my heart back in my chest after reading this post’s title.
Damn straight! Schlozman weeps, the little creep.
Hey Thers!
Just trying to spice up yer life, Suz.
Were you especially worried about Santa?
lmao
Wingnuttia is in total meltdown mode. Their carefully crafted dream world is crashing down around them as the American people prepare not only to thoroughly repudiate the conservative agenda (perhaps for a generation), but to actually elect (*GASP*) a black man president of the United States. I’m buying popcorn futures. This should be entertaining.
i can’t worry about santa until after halloween thers. i’m old school about holidays.
Hey newtonusr
Fitz better indict Santa quick before the ice cap melts and he and the elves end up sleeping with the fishes (and polar bears).
Funny stuff Thers. I gotta go back and read that article. what fucking “corridors” is this delusional shithead talking about? Off to read.
oh noz! do the elves know how to swim? the raindeer can fly away - or is that limited to just christmas eve?
LOL
I’m preparing by stocking up on Moe Lane from Red State posts about how the primaries wrecked the Democratic party. Those are especially tasty.
An Obama presidency will recharge the wingnut battery. Fox News and conservative talk radio owe their success to Bill Clinton.
Of course. But it’s not the survival thing - it’s when they strip off those tiny costumes to keep them from drowning.
Nekkid elves - talk about brain-bleach warning!
Digg is now open Pups! these asshole know no boundaries and will stoop down so low in the gutter and just lie, lie, and then lie some more!
I’ve sung this song
and I’ll sing it again……..
Anyway. If it was a regular meltdown it’d be one thing. But at the same time they’re melting down, they’re twisting themselves up like pretzels. They hate both Obama and McCain. I check out Malkin from time to time. It’s like a double meltdown.
I think you are about to have an endless supply of fodder for the forseeable future. An Obama victory is going to send these sweet little boys and girls completely over the edge rabid wolverine batshit crazy.
Dugg, nanhant!
They have become radioactive human Klein bottles.
Hot diggity Dugg!
Palin today:
“In times like these with wars and financial crisis, I know that it may be easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the right to life, and it seems that our opponent kind of hopes you will forget that”
ummm… there are at least three internal contradictions in that sentence, dear.
kinda like this?
dugg
True the reindeer can fly away as long as they don’t venture into Wasilla airspace they might be okay. Don’t know if elves can swim, perhaps more importantly, can they outswim a starving polar bear or a bunch of seals who are really tired of seafood and have a hankering for some red (and green) meat?
So Santa skates, is that it? Santa beats the rap?
(When I make my cop movie Suzanne will play my gruff veteran partner, with lines like “Dammit Thers, we gotta play this by the book!” And then I’ll say, “But the book wasn’t there to save those kids!”)
Every day this week I check the polls, and have been relieved to see that the sane 65% to 75% of the nation is not buying this junk. Sooner or later we have to confront the fact that the remainder ofthe country is stark raving mad.
It ain’t primarily about race (Obama), it ain’t primarily about gender(Hillary). It is about ruthless quest for money and power at the top, and a question of basic insanity at the botttom of their shitpile. These people would do the same to Biden, or Dodd, or Clark, were they on the top of the ticket. They would berserk out in a simialr fashion were freaking Hagel at the top of the GOP ticket. When that poor despicable rat McCain cringes and leans back from the abyss, they nutballs tell themselves McCain is just speaking in code because he is afraid of he liberal media backlash! They are raving nuts. If you or I decided to run for city or county something or other, these peopl;e would do the same to us (even the good sane Republicans here at FDL).
Sooner or later we have to face what is becoming a real menace to our political culture. The reactionary coroporate and reactionary religious power brokers will stop at nothing and will not blush to incite anything, just so long as they can keep their greedy hands on bucks and power.
We need to politically bury, crush and humiliate them this election. When not phone panking or ringingn up a few contributions, I am out precinct walking to get more and better Democrats in the House.
Everyone has to man the battle stations. This is our chance to put a real dent in their infernal and very dangerous machine.
“Send”….?
Then ya still have the turkey to deal with… Altho, I think the turkey got ran over by Santa’s sleigh awhile ago…! ;-)
Neuro have you found you PC yet??
i have to admit, i play a wicked mean bad cop better than i do good cop.
Only three? She must be phoning it in. Usually she can get that many in before the dependent clause.
:P
sata
and thers, even when at my baddest, i would never arrest santa - dood, you should see the stuff he slides under my tree!
Well the Flyers fans had their say…but apparently management knew what was coming.
From a Philadelphia Flyers fan who was there: “uhhh….a mixture of boos and cheers?? More like 5 parts boos, 1 part light applause. They had to turn the music up so loud I was worried that it was going to crack the ice! The crowd was chanting Puck you Palin! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Dugg it!
Yeah, that’s something I’ve argued before. NRO and places like that thrive on resentment, and will only get richer and crazier now that they’re in the wilderness.
nahant, how’d you know I was here lurking? are you psychic, or did you see my comment at Digg?
santa baby
Hee hee.
If the witch knew she’d have such an adverse reaction to water, why’d she have buckets of it scattered around the castle? If I didn’t know better I’d swear that movie was completely made up.
I think Santa and the elves have been Palinized away. Setting up shop in Iceland.
Well, send further into the dark and fiery abyss of their own creation.
anybody know if there’s a new SNL tonite?
perhaps the south pole - iceland is bankrupt (or close to it)
OMG…. Obama is going to take away our guns…
OMG ….Obama is going to take away our bibles…
OMG…. Obama will convert the whole country to Islam…..
OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions…..
It is the same crap……. the same hate…… same lies…… they have been telling since 2002……
Yep! a funeral WILL be held for the rabid branch of the republicans. There are some sane ones here and throughout the country and they have my respect and I wouldn’t mind having a beer with them and talk about what this country truly needs to get back on and even keel! But these rabid bastards need to be buried politically and never allowed to represent anyone else in OUR country! I hope this is their undoing now and forever!
Repukes tired of Moose Pie…must make up stuff which only their brain dead base will entertain. Oh well so what?
Is it really possible for NRO to get crazier? Doesn’t that violate some kind of Einsteinian principle or something?
Wait until these Republitards find out Barack Obama fathered a black baby … or two!
Thers, did you actually read that whole HillBuzz post? i didn’t finish. talk about verbal diarrhea. But this sorta says something about credibility.
McCain will win all the states the media claims Obama’s leading in…the very same way Hillary Clinton won California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Indiana, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania: all states the media insisted Clinton would lose.
I do not recall one - not one-report saying that Hillary would lose any of those states. Absolute bullshit.
I’m afraid we’re gonna be hearing quite a bit of this shit. As soon as Obama wins, there will be calls for a special counsel, congressional investigations, and impeachment. within the first month.
On the TAKE was ya SUZ??
I heard it was a repeat….
OMG–Obama is a closet windsurfer
Sort of like conservative “facts”.
Were you especially worried about Santa?
I’ve heard that the Palin crime family has it in for Santa, the representative from the North Pole.
The Barone Uncertainty Principle:
The harder you look at the Gopper phenomena, the more erratic it becomes.
‘zactly.
It is essentially the same crap they have been spewing for most of my adult life and my first vote was against Nixon.
OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions…..
crap.
I don’t know if I can stand another one….
LOL.
Sarah hasn’t talked about gays yet. I’m sure that’s next on the agenda. Is the subject of guns outdated or not?
Yup. Santa’s a good guy.
now I’m not a wind surfer but I heard it requires amazing coordination and strength….. and in the Columbia gorge more so…… such a fairy….
The way I figure it, almost everybody must have congressional race within an hour or two drive of their place. Beautiful fall weather for a stroll, and you will get some excercise on a four hour precinct walk. If possbile, get out and do what you can to get that Democrat House count up.
The wingnut wing of the GOP has to be obliterated, so the sane Republicans can go back and build something safe and sane from the smoking ruins.
Hate to sound so… gosh darn partisan, but dude, look at that mess over there. It’s like a bunch of oily rags and half empty gasoline cans piled in corner of the garage, on top of left over fireworks, with deeply maladjusted kids playing with matches in the dorway.
Oh, this is going to make the whole Clinton circus seem like a quiet evening with the family.
Oh noz a repeat(:>( I was looking forward to a new Sarah adventure… like her telling Tod to get rid of Wooten any way he could. Even snooping into his personnel file, just slightly against the law! Law they don’t follow no stinking Law.. that for the other guys!
Its going to be a little difficult with me since I don’t have that plumbing anymore ;)
OMG…..Obama is going to force EVERYONE to have abortions….
And when those abortions are botched, as, like, 87% are, he will require that the baby be left to die.
Tina Fey on SNL now
http://icanhascheezburger.file.....layers.jpg
santa only gives to good girls… and i am very good at being bad ct
Goopers are like cockroaches, they can’t stand the light.
Hi Thers.
Way ta go. I didn’t need that night’s sleep anyway.
Thers are you certain that pic is from Road Warrior? Looks like some recent photos I’ve seen of Madonna.
Cause he doesn’t go to Sarahs’ church!! Actually I heard Santa is Agnostic!
Heh, Miz Sarah wrote much of Tina’s material for her…! ;-)
BL, I did. There’s just no space to get into it all the nuttiness. But HB is in fact arguing that the Obama campaign has forced all the polling companies to oversample Dems.
Really.
ct? What’d I do this time…? ;-)
Yeah she did, VP debate on SNL, remember? Said she didn’t know any but knew OF some, Ellen and that basketball player at one of the colleges she attended.
I’m sorry, but there are no sane Republicans. No sane person would allow what has happened to the Republican Party in my lifetime. You are right, however, that we have to destroy what they have created before it destroys our democracy.
I hope it is “yup” this election and the nutcases get hammered. There is a branch of moderate Republicans in my family. Or, rather there was. Around 2003-4 they were very defesnive and wondering what to do. I told them that there needed to be more sane Republicans, and the best thing for them to do would be to stay in the party and fight to kick out the nutcases. I told them they wouldn’t get any grief from me about their party ID.
No sane Repbulican in my family is willing to talk about their party ID anymore. As far as I can tell, very few of them are still in the party. Lots of new Democrats and indepedents. Only the family nutcases still advertise that they are GOP.
so was mine…72
Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”
Been some time since I did any RICO work and when I did, fuck, that’s complicated, but it seems to me, the source is full of shit.
oh crap - sorry ct. i’m gonna blame that glass of wine with dinner tonight.
nahant, sorry for confusing you with that troublemaker ct (laughin)
Present company excluded, of course.
oops - repeat SNL.
And he is going make us all have gay sex and gay marry so we can have those abortions. Oh, wait a minute ….
Wait’ll Obama forces gay men to get abortions. Performed by Hillary Clinton! Bwah haha hah!
when carlin died i was watching his old hbo specials. he told one that sounds like it might have been around….
“Ya know why santa is so jolly? He knows where all the naughty girls live.”
You got a wayback machine?
Troublemaker? Moi??? *g*
Its going to be a little difficult with me since I don’t have that plumbing anymore ;)
I’m telling ya, any more forced abortions, and I’ll be getting worried about mine too.
Hee hee.
My Photoshop-fu may even surpass Attaturk’s!
Of course.
Last year my doctor told me they don’t recommend prostate exams until age 50, so I was off the hook. I looked at her in mock horror and asked, “You use a HOOK?”
but–Obama windsurfs while speaking French!
I was wondering just that same thing CT!
Trust me on this, but you really do not want to think about annual physicals over 50.
I am so sick of the paranoid delusional hatefucks.
What the hell could Obama do to upstage what BushCo has done to this country?
Anyone else sick to death of ignorant fucks that have a bully pulpit to torture the nation with?They are so afraid of change they are hysterical.
Be afraid you ignorant bastards, stay that way.
Get out the chicken bones and the read the cow intestines, then make sure that you don’t spill the salt while you are walking around a ladder that a black cat is sitting under.
Two and two is six and it is still Clintons fault.
Ignorant fucking idiots.
That is what they are, that is what they will always be, there is no hope for them. Push them back onto the fringes of society where they belong and lets get to work dragging this country out of the Dark Ages and back to the realities of the Twenty First century.
I can’t wait to be rid of the snake oil salesmen and the Voodoo witch doctor pigfuckers who seem to have come out of the swamps by the thousands in the last eight years.
Ha!
Hooks will be mandatory when Obama seizes control!
You mean the Obambi campaign? Really (Confederate Yankee).
Drive them back under their rocks in the feverish sewer swamp, nail those suckers down, and permanently quarantine the whole region like they did at Chernobyl.
Yeah, I figure 49 will be my last. Either that or I show up with a glass eye in there. “Here’s lookin’ at you, Doc.”
You’re a republican? I know Suz used to be…
What present company is republican?
Let’s just say that the prostate exam is the lesser of your worries.
Alright Busted some real “People’s English” coming from you tonight(:>)) By the way you “NEW” Truck looks great and the price4 well what can I say!! I am still driving my 20 year old Jeep and I am going to run it till it rusts into the ground… Oh yeah they don’t rust away like that here!
BRB Dinner time!
Don’t get mad, get even. Go to the DKosopedia and find a house race near you that you can help turn into a more Dem or a more-better Dem.
Three weekends, and then an afternoon or evening of GOTV!
