No. See, it’s Congress that declares war. She would have asked for a declaration against Japan.
But she would have asked the board of Governors of Harvard University to deliver it.
I deserved that.
But I don’t have to LIKE it.
I have it on authority she requested it of the Interfaith Committee of Hunter College and just told everyone it was Harvard’s BoG.
I have it on good authority that she attended a MLM presentation by a firm that rented space from the Interfaith Committee of Hunter College and just told everyone that it was Cambridge University’s BoG.
Clearly not. Pennsylvania borders West Virginia, but Chile isn’t near Japan. She would have declared war on the Pacific Ocean.
WTF. Clarence Thomas’ wife, Virginia Thomas, called Anita Hill and left a voice mail (!), asking her to “consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband.” Then characterized it as “extending an olive branch.” Holy stalkerino.
That was awesome.
Someone, somewhere, has to have a tape of one of these nutjobs saying we ought to repeal the First Amendment. These people are so profoundly stupid that I would not be surprised to hear it come out of someone’s mouth.
Wait! Wait! I found something that may be even dumber!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The guy behind the ad is a long-time Republican operative and was interviewed on The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell (no relation).
Personally, I don’t count this as a “stupid” idea, but as an evil one. Classic Republican, Donald Segretti style “ratfucking”.
Holy fuck! The enemy is at our shores!
She looks a little Hispanic to me.
Not so much stupid as flat-out delusional: Steele: Obama rejects cooperative GOP. (It’s a uselessly short article that references this past Sunday’s Meet the Press.)
I’d rather not have to dig up examples of just how wrong Steele is (so I won’t), but they’re legion. Health care reform would provide a lengthy list all by its lonesome, without even touching on stimulus matters, financial reform, energy legislation, judicial nominations, unemployment, etc., etc.
Have Republicans simply abandoned all attempts to make cogent and fact-based statements and arguments anymore?
This interview with Newt Gingrich was published in a local paper today, with many, many carefully chosen buzzwords (“Cold War,” “Stalin,” “defining enemies,” “way of life,” ) wrapped in deliberate misinterpretations, scare-mongering falsehoods and self-serving re-writing of the facts without context, especially when Gingrich is asked “You’re a historian by training. Which lessons have you learned from 20th-century US history?”.
I’ll include this choice quote from the interview and leave the rest to whatever work the reader may find needs done in light of this 46-page testament to a thesis of stupidity.
So, because sane and solution-seeking Americans of all stripes refuse to demonize all of Islam (because two wars that I can think up off the top of my head say we’re taking radical Islam seriously as an enemy), you deliberately paint an entirely inaccurate and fear-mongering picture of the political landscape, simply because you want power?
And this from someone who is purported to be a historian by training.
Quite some time ago. Now let me point you to some charts that show such a strategy is an electoral gold mine…

Yeah, I know but that hopey-changey thing that I cling to (instead of a gun and a Bible) kept my fingers typing in regards to how low they will go and how far away from shame they are willing to live in order to gain power.
And I hadn’t even read about Stephen Broder (TX-R), who’s running for Congress, saying he “would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.”
Republicans are now actually saying the economy should have been “roaring back” after two years of the Obama administration:
yes

The Republican strategy is to simple take names or ideas that are universally disliked or distrusted and to connect them with things they would like to be universally disliked or distrusted.
It doesn’t need to make sense or have any factual components, it just needs to be repeated until people view the two things as one in the same.
Well, thats just the kind of thing Hitler said.
I was treated this morning to an article about Boehner campaigning in checkered shirts and jeans for changing America. What a phony fucker he is; what fools the electorate are. Jon Stewart’s montage on John McCain making the same stupid statements for the last 20 years about a broken government was spot-on.
