JABbering Stooge

Nearly five months later, the gang of theocratic thugs who laughably call themselves the “pro-life” movement continue to piss on Dr. Tiller’s grave:

An Army of God manual. A prison cookbook compiled by a woman doing time for abortion clinic bombings and arsons. An autographed bullhorn.

These are among the items that abortion foes plan to auction on eBay and other Web sites in a fundraiser for Scott Roeder, the Kansas City man charged with killing Wichita abortion doctor George Tiller.

“This is unique,” said Regina Dinwiddie [As JJ notes, Dinwiddie was the first person convicted under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act — Ed.], a Kansas City anti-abortion activist who will sign the bullhorn. “Nobody’s ever done this before. The goal is that everybody makes money for Scott Roeder’s defense.”

One abortion-rights leader called the auction deplorable and said it could lead to more violence. [Gee, ya think?! — Ed.]

“The network of extremists promoting and defending the murder of doctors is contributing to escalating threats against clinics and doctors across the country,” said Kathy Spillar, executive vice president of the Feminist Majority Foundation.

You know, if these assholes had names like Sajid, Yasser, or Mohammed and the organization in question was, say, the Islamic American Relief Agency, this auction would’ve been dead in its tracks, the organization would’ve had its assets seized as a “terrorist cell,” and the perpetrators would already be on their way to Gitmo to be subjected to “enhanced interrogation” torture.

Takes one to know one, SIR:

In an interview with CBS News radio yesterday, former President George H.W. Bush called assailed the tone of our national discourse. “I don’t like it. The cables (TV) have a lot to do with it,” he said, adding that MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann were partly responsible:

• The Republican elder statesman said, “It’s not just the right.” He complained, “there are plenty of people on the left.”

  While he said he does not believe in personal name-calling, he singled out MSNBC personalities Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow calling them “sick puppies.”

  “The way they treat my son and anyone who’s opposed to their point of view is just horrible,” Mr. Bush said.

That’s right. President George Horton’s Willie Bush called Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow “sick puppies” for alleged namecalling.

My irony meter just a-sploded.

Sidebar: If Poppy Bush is truly concerned about the state of political discourse in this country, perhaps he should start by having a long chat with his good friend Pillz-E about his comments for oh…the last year or so.

Sweet Mother of Mercy:

Also.

Go ahead, NewsBusters. Tell me how The Left™©® is the sole source of political violence in America. I dare you.

* Cf.

For that matter, when will we hear David Horowitz or the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) denounce this assault on campus freedom of expression?

At approximately 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon, a few members of the newly recreated non-religious group, Alabama Atheist and Agnostics, did chalking in the Ferguson Plaza, outside of Lakeside Diner and outside of Reese Phifer Hall, according to Peter Sloan, vice president of Alabama Atheist and Agnostics and a senior double majoring in music composition and philosophy.

“While we were chalking somebody dumped water on what we were chalking, somebody spat at us,” Sloan said. “But really, overall, most people were polite.”

At approximately 6 p.m., AAA finished their chalking, Sloan said. By midnight, all the chalking had been erased and scrubbed clean by what appeared to be an organization’s effort.

[…]

The chalking was redone from midnight until 1 a.m., Sloan said. The chalking was again found to be erased by noon on Monday.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I’d better check the temperature in hell, first.

BTW, the administration was extremely unhelpful to the atheist organization — essentially telling them to go Cheney themselves. I seriously doubt they would have treated a Christian organization that way.

And in other news, colleges have become commie indoctrination centers filled with radical America-hating feminazi professors who need to be blacklisted. The Young Conservatives of Texas said so.

Evidently not. Here’s Tim Graham, complaining about Mike Malloy being Mike Malloy:

On Wednesday, radical radio host Mike Malloy took a page from Ed Schultz (or perhaps it was the other way around) in asserting that the “neo-fascist right” takes joy in the killing of a Census worker:

• This is what they do. O’Reilly inspires people to go kill doctors who provide private abortion services, legal services to his patients; and then O’Reilly stands there with that dung-eating look on his face — what a SOB he is. ‘It wasn’t me; of course it was you, you thug!’ And the suicide-prone Glenn Beck rails against Census workers, and inspires his people to kill one for sport; I bet you O’Reilly and Beck and the rest of these monsters on the neo-fascist right in this country love this stuff. It gives them something else to talk about. It’s sport.

And here’s Noel Sheppard (whose NewsBusters bio pic resembles Hoyt Pollard’s character in Deliverance), reveling in the implied violence against Al Gore disguised as humor perpetrated by Pillz-E* on Jay Leno’s new prime-time show last Friday:

As NewsBusters’ Brent Baker previously reported, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh had fun with Jay Leno Thursday evening actually driving an electric car over a cardboard cut-out of Al Gore.

Prior to that hilarious scene, Limbaugh sat down with Leno and discussed politics, President Obama, Medicare, and even weight loss.

So there you go. The new rules for political discourse in this country, courtesy of NewsBusters. Acting out one’s violence fantasies against an cardboard surrogate for a liberal politician? High comedy. Calling out the right wing for their atomic heat-level hate against anyone who isn’t a member of their straight-white-male-conservative-Christians-only club? High treason.

Also.

* For the thinking-impaired at NewsBusters, this is what I’m referring to.

Drifty is once again en fuego for bringing us this musing about Sarah Palin criticizing the president from Hong Kong:

Second, as all of you who escaped our nation’s 25-year-long Conservative prefrontal Limbaughtomy remember, six short years ago when a singer blurted out 15 unprepared words dissing George W. Bush at a concert in London (or, as wingnuts always ominously intone “On Foreign Soil!”), the Right absolutely lost its collective shit.

There were marches. Vigils. Coast-to-coast Hate Radio rants. A virtual embargo on playing the music of “The Dixie Chicks” anywhere in this Home of the Brave.

It was pretty much this…

Hell, they made a movie about it and everything:

Or don’t you remember?

But now, of course, everything has changed.

Now the White, Conservative, Southern, Evangelical, Republican imbecile failure is out of the White House.

Now the smart, Black, Centrist Democrat Secret Muslim Communist is in the White House.

Exactly. The new rule on the right goes something like this:

• What? A popular all-female country band criticized a warmongering Republican president while they were on the soil of an ostensible ally? BURN THE WITCHES!

• What? A moronic ex-governor who quit halfway through her first term criticized the first African-American president for trying to clean up the mess his predecessor left while she was on commie soil? Who cares? We have bigger worries, like whether or not ACORN is fluoridating our water in order to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids!

Big Hollywood The Andrei Zhdanov School of Conservative Correctness, Andrew Breitbart’s monster creation, caught falsifying charges of Hatch Act violations in the Obama administration that they were perfectly okay with when The Most Holy George W. Christ The Infallible did it.

John “Spathi” Hinderaker, looking for any excuse to delegitimize charges of a racist element to the teabaggers:

In that 12 percent, we have identified the hard core of President Obama’s support—those who, if the Obama administration said the moon is made of green cheese, would believe it. Or pretend to, anyway.

Right. Because John Hinderaker would never eagerly perform verbal fellatio on a politician just because their political views mostly meshed! No, not ever!

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.

Oh. Well, that’s different, then.

The irrepressible TBogg, on the latest outbreak of ACORN Derangement Syndrome:

If ACORN had just slaughtered a bunch of Muslims in the street, instead of giving advice to fake pimps, they’d still be eligible for some of that sweet sweet government moolah.

I know why wingnuts, who constantly slag liberals as “The Blame America First Crowd,” don’t want to remember 9/13. That’s because eight years ago today, two of their own Blamed America First™:

So much for that post-partisan goodwill that sprouted up after 9/11, eh?
