Deafening Silence

The campaign for conservatives to tell the truth about what they truly believe marches on. Congressman Virgil Goode stands by his anti-Muslim tirade and not a darn word of condemnation from the GOP.

And really, why should they? Goode just said what so many of them believe in their hearts. At least he was honest.

(Of course in the Land Of Double Standards that is conservatism, those Muslims better condemn stuff… or elese…)

UPDATE: Perennial idiot Dan Riehl argues the wonderful concept also known as “those effing muslims, you never know”.

The AFP has a story speculating on whether Barack Obama can “sell” himself to black voters. Predictably conservative bloggers have seized on the story to once again try and explain the black vote. Much like the way they expertly predicted Michael Steele would do so great with blacks in Maryland a few days before he went down in flames, especially with black voters.

In the case of Obama, when he ran for office in 2004 he got 92% of the black vote, in a race where his opponent happened to be black. As crazy as a Mad Hatter, but black.

A couple of weeks ago Michael Steele was supposed to be coronated as the RNC chairman after having accomplished nothing, but now he’s nowhere to be found. Nowhere.

I can’t be the only one who finds strident atheists like Sam Harris as annoying and dogmatic as their religious fundamentalist counterparts. Its people like that who alienate the mushy religious-nonreligious middle like myself.
