That guy with the swastica sign carried it right up on stage, and none of the elected Re-thuglicans made any objection to it’s presence. Attending were former congressman Tom Tancredo, current congressman Mike Coffman, State Rep (?) Bob Schultheiss (whom we fondly refer to as “shithead” because he demanded that the Sheriff find out the immigration status of a little 6 yr old girl who was the victim of a horrific car crash that killed her entire family) and Josh Penry. Don’t we have some terrific pols here in lovely Colorado. Remember this when the next election comes around, and it’s time to support Progressive blue candidates in this barely purple state, please.
A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday.
In my cloister the Malkin person only shows up when she’s justly ridiculed, I wouldn’t know who she is or ever see or hear her otherwise, and I’m not curious. Apparently she has an audience? She’s well paid? Who are her sponsors? I’ll gladly boycott them since I can’t boycott her.
Greenspan’s yesterday speech now playing on cspan. If you like R-squares and looking at the top of his head, you’ll love it. It’s the speech where he sez that once in 100 years you have to nationalize the banks and this is it.
You think the wingers are that strong right now? I have no idea. They’re beyond repulsive to me and, I suspect, a LOT of others. To my eyes, they’re sickening, hideously out of kilter! I don’t think it’s just you and me either. I talk a bit, and mostly listen, to a fair number of folk I would have called red-staters for sure, in the past. I think a lot of them have had a snootfull of the hate bile, and they blame the R’s for the financial mess. R’s as a party seem in grave trouble in our area of the world (N.E. OH), and Obama is actually gaining more and more respect. Time will tell if that’ll hold. It’s gonna get dicey as the economy continues tanking which, I assume, “experts” think it will. But I hope he can hold his glow for making an honest effort, and for caring.
Please, eCAHN, if you’re out there lurking…. I love your snark and righteously jaundiced eye on all this stuff. Am I way off base in my ignorance???
i think their ideas are when we are in shock. i saw this country go insane after 911 – overcome with bloodlust and i don’t know what. that, for me, was the 2×4 upside that head that got my attention. because i, in my hubris, had not thought it possible until actually confronted with it.
i’m sorry you’re going to have to check the cspan schedule on their website. i have to step away from the computer again and probably won’t be back until the 12:15 start.
Ditto. After the presumed lessons of ‘Nam…. stunned doesn’t come close.
I’ll never get over MSM banging the drums of insanity for dubya, rush, dobbs & everyone in between.
Where does one draw the line at just how much of that was engineered for personal gain by bigtime & co., and how much was flat-out stupidity borne of mass hysteria?
If that’s what happens every 30 yrs or so, I have no desire to live 30 yrs beyond today.
War and hate are an utter waste of energy, life, time,…..
Because the term is loaded, I’m always reluctant to label arch rightwingers (like Malkin)as Nazis. In this case, however, the photo sort of does the work for me. I probably shouldn’t use the phrase, “now I’ve seen everything”, because I’m sure there’s more where this came from.
Have you noticed the actions of the Israeili Defense Forces towards the Palestinians?
Who do you think trained most of our interrogators in “enhanced” interrogation techniques?
Israel has lost any claim it ever had to moral authority on any level just as this nation has lost it thanks to the Bush administration and the continued operation of Gitmo.
Was he saying that his unregulated free market theories continue to be effective, except that once a century you have to nationalize everything temporarily?
Regarding the photo, it looks like the poster spells Obama, with the swastika in the “O”, perhaps indicating that the guy read Johah Goldburg. In any case, it appears he and Malkin are adoring a symbol of their line of reasoning.
Ick!!
Just looked closer at the sign he’s holding. Ick is not enough.
WOW! these folks are just shooshing down the slopes. Hey! Lookout for that cliiiiifffffffffffffffffffff-
Right here in my own state! How on earth are we going to get enough bleach to dip the whole state in???
They need to decide whether they want to be Taleban insurgents or Nazis. Geez. The waffling!
Not entirely OT -Speaking of going off the cliff-
The hoods are really coming off today.

Happy, shiny Nazis holding hands…
I need to go take my shower again.
heh, well… that too.
My 1st reaction was “UGH!”

Being a mere Brit and thus addicted to Steve Bell in the Guardian, I thought it was W who was the chimp!
please excuse the ot driveby: 12:15pm is obama and geithner on a foreclosure plan, 1pm bernanke at the npc. both on cspan.
i’m going to haunted by that malkin/nazi pic – what depravity.
Those … people seem to have no compass. Or mebbe it’s frozen. *tap tap tap*
It’s a terrible thing to have lost one’s brain. Malkin’s showin’ it off & makin’ some serious headway all right, bass ackwards.
Thanks, Jane.
If there was ever any doubt about what a skeezy little piece of shit that person is, I think she has managed to erase that. Truly and forever.
Although I do expect to hear from her in the next few days that sign guy is a liberal plant and the photo is taken out of context.
Oh! Have to take Kobe to vet. Please watch for me.
And then there is this
New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate
Can someone help me. How can AIPAC support the GOP when the GOP holds hands with Malkin/nazi folks?
From C&L:
Not it isn’t because it is tilted on its side.
Thanks for the heads-up selise!
actually, you’re just fine, immunization holding beautifully.
m-kin’s the one with a corner on the haunted market.
i will. like watching a train wreck, i can’t seem to look away.
(((kobe)))
Hope he’s o.k. Hey Kobe! Be nice to the vet, big fella. *pat pat pat*
“You say ‘Sieg,’ I say ‘Heil’…it’s FUN!”
http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/p…..15;352.jpg
Jane, hope Kobe is well. And you looked TERRIFIC with Schuster today. As well as speaking truth.
Native American symbol ? It is a highly respected symbol of Hindus, and it means unlimited success and peace.
I wish the Nazis would stop using our beloved symbol to spread their poison, they stopped using the Cross though.
I hope Kobe is ok. Might I suggest a pumpkin muffin on the way back?
thanks. hope i’m off track with my worry about right-wing populist backlash during economic hard times. but that pic did not help.
bbl for the obama, geithner and bernanke shows.
Because they’re the SAME people under the “hood”.
heh. You have my full permission to ask them, repeatedly, in public.
Go for it. Seriously! They’re the ones who put it out there. Looks like an open invitation to me, stupid to the extreme, but there it be…
Sic’ ‘em!
Selese honey, do you know which c-span channels these folks will be on so I can set my tivo?

Did any Critter nail him for this fiasco ?
I doubt it. Audience is biz folks who pay a lot of money to go.

Jeebus, he’s repeating their fav mantra … nationalize our debts.

If that makes me naive: guilty as charged.
Is Mrs. G’pan there covering the great event?
Thanks Jane.

Somebody’s trying to give her his screenplay…
I think she’s cute in a cheerleader outfit. Does she also own a schoolgirl one? If so, we can talk.
