Why, you could have knocked me over with a feather when I checked out the Real Clear Politics Blog today and saw that Tom Bevan -- conservative Tom Bevan -- wingnut Tom Bevan who NEVER had a nice thing to say about Obama or his administration -- is raising money for "Organizing for America!"
It's TRUE!
Oh God! Oh Christ! What are we gonna do? Whatever are we gonna do?
BARACK OBAMA BOWED TO THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN!!!
And our enemies all round the world -- our many, many enemies created by the stiff-backed cowboy diplomacy of George W. Bush and the "American Exceptionalism" philosophy of the conservatives and Neocons (because we ARE better than everyone... JUST because we're AMERICANS)... these enemies are now SHARPENING THEIR KNIVES for when they invade our shores and BEHEAD US ALL! NEXT WEEK! WAIT FOR IT!
Oh, God! Oh, Christ!
WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
Was he copying Eisenhower when HE bowed to the Japanese crown prince in the 1950s?
Or was he thinking of Nixon's low bow to the murderous Mao in Red China?
God knows WHAT he was thinking!
Next thing you know, you'll see Obama DEBASING the PRESIDENCY and the PRESTIGE of the UNITED STATES by bowing to RELIGIOUS LEADERS!
Or even WORSE!
He might LOCK LIPS with some FOREIGN TYRANT who doesn't even ALLOW WOMEN to VOTE or DRIVE CARS in his country!!!
How horrible would THAT be?
No, my fellow Americans! It's time to rise up and FIGHT this... this... this CIVILITY! This POLITENESS! This BLOW to the FACE of AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM! We must RETURN to the days of "We Will Do Whatever We Want to Whoever We Want Because We're AMERICA Goddamit!"
We must firmly plant our foot in the face of the rest of the world. How else are they going to FEAR us like they oughta?
Need MORE proof that Faux News is a stooge for the GOP and not a legitimate news operation?
On their website, meet the "Obama Change Index!" And while the LEGITIMATE polls show that Obama's numbers are steadily increasing -- SURPRISE! The "OCI" shows Obama is CRATERING!
OH NOES!
It's one of them new-fangled "website" doohickeys! And, say! Isn't it SWELL? I'll say it is!
And here's the really NEAT part. Wherever you see an actual Afro-American on the website, you can bet your BOOTS that they've gone and made doggone sure that person is a gen-yoo-wine Republican!
You
can't turn on the TV anymore without seeing commercials telling you to
ask your doctor about drugs that will make you pee less, shrink your
prostate, lower your cholesterol, cheer you out of your depression and
give you a raging erection. We see commercials for pills that will cut
acid reflux, keep you from getting pregnant, treat that
under-the-toenail fungus, help you sleep and clear out your snotty nose.
These commercials are... to a one of them... unnecessary.
As a person with a chronic medical condition, I am consistently disgusted by the Wingnut response to health care reform. These same folks who hold signs saying "Your Health, Your Problem" are the ones who go to church every Sunday and sit there, nodding their heads in agreement, as the preacher talks about someone who would detest their politics if he were here today.
Tom Bevan, one of the resident wingnuts at the Real Clear Politics Blog posts this beaut...
Gibbs says it. The White House blogs it. The Huffington Post leads with it.
On a day when news breaks that the administration is making a major change in U.S. foreign policy, until minutes ago the Huffington Post was leading with this:
He concludes by scolding HuffPo for missing "the most important news of the day."
So, I sent an e-mail to Mr. Bevan.
Remember?
If I get an answer, I'll share it with you.
Start holding your breath... now.
Imagine being an artist... someone who works with his hands... and suddenly, your hands don't work so well anymore.
(h/t to my friend Peter Dunlap-Shohl in Anchorage for alerting me to this. I highly recommend his outstanding blog, "Off and On, the Alaska Parkinson's Rag" -- a blog that will reaffirm your faith in Alaska.)
When Parkinson's disease handed him lemons, artist Frank Ferraro wrote an opera.
I wasn't really sure how I felt about this at first, whether it was better to just let things slide or to take official action and put it on the dude's record. Now I think it's a decent idea. "Shoutin' Joe Wilson" broke House rules. A vote to sanction him for that is appropriate. Let the other Republicans go on record as supporting a lack of decorum in the House of Representatives.
"But he already apologized..."
Seems like the argument one hears every time some wingnut says something racist or holds up a racist sign with racist images is this:
Au contraire!
Let's see if we can use a few column inches to explain the difference as we play...
The Wingnuts have a new whipping boy -- in the literal sense -- this morning.
Even by the standards of the anything-goes MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West's hijacking of country-pop sweetheart Taylor Swift's speech at the Sunday night ceremony was particularly brutal.
Yes. Kanye West made an ass of himself. Again. And do you know who's FAULT this is?
The 44th President of the United States.
At least, that's the popular conservative take on the incident. Because Kanye's black and has been critical of former President Bush, the Wingnuttery will somehow make this OBAMA's fault.
Doubt me? Let's go visit the comment section at Michelle Malkin's "Hot Air" hate site. So incensed are the wingnuts over this incident, there are TWO headline stories on the subject and over 300 comments from their morally outraged readers who know how to place the blame where it belongs!
He'll be Obambi's new Music Czar.

Kayne West doesn't care about white women.
Aquateen Hungerforce on September 13, 2009 at 11:06 PM
See, West said Boooosh doesn't care about Black people. So it's a NATURAL connection. Duh.
The left has been faulting Joe Wilson for speaking his mind for four days now.
jimmy2shoes on September 13, 2009 at 11:07 PM
I think he should be censured by the House of Representatives for this outrageous breach of protocol.
Mark1971 on September 13, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Because shouting "YOU LIE" at the President during a Joint Session of Congress is the SAME THING as taking a microphone from a girl at a staged music awards show.
The MTV VMAs are a very liberal outfit and were a platform for Bush-bashing and Obama butt-kissing last year, so of course all-American country artists are going to get picked on. The country artists don't belong at a low-class deal like this anyway. They should just boycott next year.
Glad that Kanye "Bush hates whiteys" West was tossed, though.

Never mind that the white, country singer WON the award...
So yesterday it was Michael Jordan being an ass, and Serena Williams being a witch. Today it is Kayne West. I'm sensing a pattern here.
jediwebdude on September 13, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Could it be... they're BLACK???
James Clyburn will insist on a Congressional investigation./
ICBM on September 13, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Yep. Cuz HE'S black, TOO!
typical Obama voter
elduende on September 13, 2009 at 11:17 PM
That goes to show you how Obama supporters really are: Self-indulgent jackasses.
cubachi on September 13, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Foolish negroes, right cubachi?
Maybe this is what Obama means by "get in their faces". Please God let it be so. The planet will be a better place without many of these Obama voters.
elduende on September 13, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Obama was lying through his damn teeth. Wilson was right to do what he did.
Take a hike, you liberal piece of crap.
2Brave2Bscared on September 13, 2009 at 11:56 PM
You liberal scumbags are the most lying, slanderous, evil pieces of **** on the planet, and yet you (and that ass Obama) DARE to lecture me on civility? Screw you. Both of you. The whole damn liberal lot of you.Your man Obama is usurper. He deserves no respect. And neither do you.
Scumbag.
My prayer:
May Obama and Kanye be caught together in flagrante delecto.
Please, Lord...

And a final comment...
Wow, even conservatives are enamored by this junk. I can't believe the response.
True_King on September 14, 2009 at 7:20 AM
Sure you can. The dumbass said something BAD once about BOOOOOOSH. And he's BLACK like Obama, so you GOTTA blame HIM, TOO! And he took the mic from a pretty WHITE girl, so you KNOW Fox will be all over it. Greta Van Sustern is probably gonna do a SPECIAL about it. And because the press is all over "Shoutin' Joe" Wilson for yelling at the President during a Joint Session, it's only NATURAL that this is somehow all Obama's fault!
See how simple conservatives are?
