Evening moonbat roundup

Posted by: ST on August 30, 2006 at 11:38 pm

Tonight’s episode is sponsored by the City of Nutroots tourism department.

Visit Nutroots - population growing!

Ok, where shall I start?

— Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, at today’s anti-Bush rally:

“No more God-is-on-our-side religious nonsense,” Anderson said at the rally, absorbing waves of cheers and applause from the thousands of protesters as he called Bush a “dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights violating president.”

Keith Olbermann compares Bush to not only Hitler, but Neville Chamberlain as well, and talks about a ‘new kind’ of fascism. Guess which kind? Read more via Olbermann Watch.

Hot Air is the place to be tonight – they’ve got links galore to moonbattiness at its best -er, worst:

Bill Maher on Larry King tonight said Republicans were ugly white people who sex would be ‘excruciating’ with, and also likened the President to Saddam Hussein.

— Former candidate for a seat in the House of Representatives Paul Hackett on Fox News calls Dan Senor “unterfuhrer.”

— Here’s a just released clip of an MTV “Rock the Vote” worker back in 2004 telling a member of the Young Republicans that “I hope your wife gets raped and can’t have an abortion.” (Hat tip: Malkin)

Update: Greg Tinti on Olbermann’s little rant:

The world bore witness tonight to quite possibly the biggest load of nonsensical self-righteous garbage ever to be unleashed. Ever.

A-greed. He’s got video of Olbie’s meltdown as well.

Thur. AM Update II: UGH.

      Yes. Liberals are interested in discussion and alternate points of view huh?

      Not.

      - Just glance back at your previous post ST, for some of the reasons the Left is cranking up the crazed rhetoric. they realize they have the “weak on terrorism” yoke hanging around their necks going into the next two election cycles, and they are starting to sweat bullets. It will get even worse if thats possible, which of course will just drive middle America further and further away, esculating things even more. These people have no scruples, none. The end justifies the means, and after losing two straight national elections, being out of power for 8 years, if you thought slashed tires, and thuggery on Republican offices was bad, just wait. I predict some of the looniest will end up in jail, screeming about their right to go nuts.

      - Bang **==

      That’s too many nuts for one post! It’s nice to see how non-partisan the Rock the Vote crowd really is.

      The behavior of certain individuals gives a clue as to just how societies can tear themselves apart. It merely takes the dehumanization of some by others to begin the process.

      The Left has been making these same viscious slurs since at least the Clinton Administration. Whenever I hear some ninny whine about the loss of civility in politics, I tell ‘em, “Tell it to Bill and Hillary. They made it an integral part of politics.” It’s only a short step beyond that to attacking your neighbor for his/her beliefs. Communists/Fascists used that to their bloody advantage.

      Oh this is too funny…

      Not once did olbermann compare bush or rummy or anyone to Hitler. His comparison was to the government of Neville Chamberlain and how that government (which was SOOOO wrong) used to silence it’s critic through intimidation and accusations of intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

      Olbermann’s words were eloquent and passionate, and you take issue with them because they offend your chosen authority (BushCO). Yet right-blogistan is afire today calling Olbermann intellectually and morally bankrupt. Sometimes I think the right simply suffers from absurdly awful comprehension…I mean, to respond in that way to what he said is to prove his point.

      Also,

      “dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights violating president” is not a slur.

      OK… please, please go on record saying that you believe:

      1. The president is honest
      2. The president doesn’t start wars
      3. The president doesn’t violate human rights

      The right has been arguing for quite a while now that the president has to do these things to keep us safe. When someone actually bothers to notice and be upset about it, are they being “loony”? No, they aren’t. They disagree about the necessity of lying, starting wars, and violating human rights.

      See the issue here? Anyone?

      The “loony” left is telling the truth… but you guys just don’t like what you’re hearing. Stand up for yourselves! Say “Yes, the president is all those things, and it keeps me safe!”.

      Of course you won’t, because if you put things that way, YOU sound like the loons. So instead you pretend that it isn’t breaking the law if it makes you feel safe. Rediculous, and you probably know it.

      Drop the ad-hominems and critize him on the substance.

      If a dictator in this country would keep us safe, why not impose a dictatorship? If our very existence is threatened as you are all so sure of, why don’t we just make Bush dictator?

      If not, then where do you draw the line? Do we have to be in MORE danger? Do we need a half-dictatorship? The president can break some laws but not others? Well which ones then?

      Moral relativism and slippery slopes come in many shapes and sizes.

    6. “Moral relativism and slippery slopes come in many shapes and sizes.”

      And thank you for proving that when it comes to that moral relativism, Keith Olbermann has some stiff competition. From you.

      Your attacks on the right’s comprehension are laughable, considering it’s you who has the comprehension problems – not to mention have set up several strawmen to tear down, perhaps because tearing down my actual argument was beyond your capability. Don’t feel bad. You’re not alone.

      Apparently you need to watch your “passionate” Olbermann again. If this is what qualifies for legit “passion” in the Democratic party, then you guys are even more far gone than I initially thought.

    7. Aghast says:

      Sistah, you didn’t have an argument, you just posted links to “moonbats in action”.

      My comment was in response to the right’s reaction in general to statements like these. Summarily dismissing them with no analysis beyond “he’s crazy”.

      Though I see you haven’t actually responded to the issues in my post, either.

      I actually am quite curious as to how far you guys want to take executive power. It’s a serious question that I ask in good faith, because I really don’t understand how far you would take it. I haven’t seen the right draw a line anywhere on this issue… just perpetually saying that the line hasn’t been crossed. SO WHERE IS THE LINE? Can you even admint that “technically” it’s been crossed, but not “meaningfully” (for lack of a better term) since we need to be safe? If so, when is the line “meaningfully” crossed?

      I’m trying to tease a little analysis of this from the right… if they can’t answer those questions, how can they say they’ve really contemplated this issue honestly?

    8. I’ve written two posts on this and mistakenly believed we were in the most recent one I had written, which covers my thoughts a little more in depth.

      Aghast – I only have one thing to say to you and your soft Marxist gaggle…

      Remember Kommrads….100 years of failure and 100 million dead proves nothing!

      “Republicans were ugly white people who sex would be ‘excruciating’ with”…actually, I think the sexual nightmare of most men would be the left-wing harpy. And for lots of women, it would probably be the pompous progressive professor.

    11. sanity says:

      “Republicans were ugly white people who sex would be ‘excruciating’ with”…

      Guess he hasn’t checked out the beauties I have seen that are Republicans vs the code pink crowd, breast not bombs crowd (I think I went blind when I saw that..omg omg omg….I had to gouge out my eyes) and the majority of the democrat or the loony democrats…

      Hmmm excruciating…..that would be even looking at “mr scrotum inflator”, or the old men walking around without pants, or the old women with breast down to the their knees and big ol’ hairy armpits…

      By the way, I believe those are DEMOCRATS.

      I have not seen Republicans that looked like that!
      Maybe it just isn’t being covered, but has anyone SEEN a republican or republican demonstration that had men and women exposing themselves to little children? how about a republican infating their scrotum?

      Republicans may have some extreme people also, some on the chritian right, BUT, I have yet to see the whacked out, nutjobs on the right as I do see WAY to much of on the left!!!

      MTV doesn’t want to ‘rock the vote’, they want to ‘tip the vote over’.

      What is it with the lefties blogging on our site today, and to top it off they are all IDIOTS.
      Olberman was fired from a sports casting show so I really have confidence in anything this moonbat has to say and he has been told not to do the heil hitler deal again, a hand gesture that is not funny coming from a scocialist like him, msnbc is a joke, even cnn is better than them, except when their anchor goes to take a tinkle during the President’s address and forgets to turn her mike off —GOOD GOD.!!!! **==img src=’http://sistertoldjah.com/smilies/yahoo_party.gif’ alt=’<:-p’ class=’wp-smiley’ width=’38′ height=’18′ title=’<:-p’ />

    14. Baklava says:

      Hey. I just posted that story in an open thread Drewsmom. Funny stuff huh. :)

    15. NC Cop says:

      Let’s see….Olberman a washed up sportscaster who couldn’t cut it and Maher a washed up, never was, actor.

      Gosh, why wouldn’t the nation take advice on foreign policy and terrorism from them?!!??!?!
