GOP Bigot Eruption: Rep. Virgil Goode Hates Muslims

12:51 pm EST December 20th, 2006 | Republicans | 35 Comments

Once again, conservative Republicans have the courage to tell us what they really believe. Encouraged by our campaign for cons to speak truth to power, Rep. Virgil Goode says straight up how much he hates:

In a letter sent out to select supporters earlier this month reacting to the controversy (among certain extreme conservatives, at least) over Muslim representative-elect Keith Ellison’s (D-MN) decision to be sworn in on the Koran, Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) warned that the U.S. must close its borders to guard against the influx of still more Muslims. In it, he also proudly recounts his retort to a Muslim student who asked him why he did not include the Koran with The Ten Commandments on his wall. "As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office," he says he told the student.

Michelle Malkin says “2006: The year of perpetual outrage” what’s funny is that she’s talking about Muslims, when in fact nobody has made a living out of outrage like Michelle Malkin.

But then, that’s why we have The First Law Of Malkin.

The Right’s Fakeroots

Redstate was created to blatantly copy Daily Kos for the right. It’s never really succeeded at that, having none of the influence that Kos has cultivated on either the conservative movement or fundraising for the Republican party (all the candidates supported by the right lost this fall). Now Redstate is selling out to Eagle Publishing, one of the cogs in the right-wing publishing machine. Sure, for the founders it probably means a nice financial compensation, but as a political vehicle it’s clearly a failure. Like much of the right, Redstate is not "grassroots" but another extension of the staid old power base in Washington. They just made it official today.

Dean Barnett Meets The Pot And Kettle

Barnett:

The comment pages here at HughHewitt.com are plagued by the presence of a fellow named Snapdigger. Snap annoys everyone; he’s a relentless imbecile cut from the same cloth as Oliver Willis.

Barnett:

Al Gore is practically mentally ill.

Just so you know what school of “thought” the intellectual lions of the right are coming from. It’s our ongoing mission.

“I encourage you to go shopping” – George W. Bush 12/20/06

From “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” to this. Wow, what a disaster.

CNN: Democrats Have Time Machine

9:08 pm EST December 19th, 2006 | Media | 22 Comments

That’s about the only way one could justify CNN’s asinine posturing that the Democrats are a “do-nothing” party before they’ve actually taken power.

A December 19 report on CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight featured the graphic “Do-Nothing Dems?” But, as the report noted, Democrats will not actually assume control of Congress for a little over two weeks.

A wise man once said: “If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious shit.”

Conservatives Tell The Truth Again

8:04 pm EST December 19th, 2006 | News | 24 Comments

Debbie Schlussel, if you don’t know, is sort of a trailer park version of Ann Coulter. Trashier, but more so. She’s now pushing the theory that Barack Obama is a Muslim manchurian candidate, ready to hand America over to Al Qaeda apparently as soon as he gets some power. But once again, I applaud the far right not cloaking it’s beliefs and intentions – just tell us what you really believe.

What’s Your Favorite Christmas Movie

They’re probably the most predictable movies around – of course Santa will make it on time, and no, Christmas will not be cancelled – but I love ‘em anyway.

My favorite is far and away It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s got everything, redemption, Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and “Buffalo Girls”.
