He dug it up because his mother was French Algerian, I think, or at least a Frenchwoman from French colonial holdings in Africa. Like, before I learned that, I just thought he was being run of the mill "brown people have funny names, check out this guy macaca" but he probably learned the word from his mom. Also despite being born and raised in California George Allen is a MASSIVE Confederacy fetishist, so, yeah, he's racist as hell.

I'm sure this was covered in the "Right wing media" thread, but the latest Ann Coulter joint is just so classicly freep: http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2014-06-25.html quote:I've held off on writing about soccer for a decade -- or about the length of the average soccer game -- so as not to offend anyone. But enough is enough. Any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of the nation's moral decay. quote:Do they even have MVPs in soccer? Everyone just runs up and down the field and, every once in a while, a ball accidentally goes in. quote:I resent the force-fed aspect of soccer. The same people trying to push soccer on Americans are the ones demanding that we love HBO's "Girls," light-rail, Beyonce and Hillary Clinton. quote:Soccer is like the metric system, which liberals also adore because it's European. A general rant against women, african-americans, LIBERALS, and for some reason the metric system. Its as if she popped some pain pills, downed a bottle of wine, and scrawled this on a forum. Sadly (for her) she has a talk show and blog instead. Look at those quotes and tell me they wouldnt be right at home on freep?

Coulter is also hated because she jumped onboard the Romney train too early, rather than pretending to put all her support behind one of several joke candidates for a couple months before JimRob decided it was okay to vote for that RINO. Probably one of the biggest offenses a freeper could commit.

I think it's more that she figured out how to monetize the 'I've had three strokes already but Obama said salt is bad so I'm gonna have to double my salt intake' line of thought. As long as the things she says, on average, offend liberals more than conservatives, no matter how ridiculous it is, these people will see that, decide that since liberals hate her she must be right, and give her money.

Yeah, I auto-ignore Coulter since she's so utterly transparent in her shock-punditry. I'd call her the Howard Stern of politics, but honestly Stern was better when he dabbled and can at least be funny sometimes. She's only out for the attention and the subsequent book sales. I don't know of any political figures that take their cues from her (unlike Limbaugh). Just ignore her.

I don't know that anyone takes cues directly from Limbaugh anymore either. He's basically fallen in line with the RW blog swamp and is just another booster for whatever bubbles up from there. You can tell from his transcripts that he desperately wants to be the originator of the next Agenda21 ACTION ALERT because he's constantly just making up grievances or conspiracy theories on the fly (i.e. the time he rode to the defense of Kony and the LRA based entirely on the word "lord" in their org's name and his producers had to jump in and rescue him). His rhetorical skill at that sort of thing and his brand recognition are his saving graces but he's not driving the bus anymore.

If there's someone with a speck of dust on them worth hating, the blogs, twitter and email chains will have sent out the lightning response hate squads before Limbaugh can even get on air. They used to have to apologize to him personally because he was distributor of materials, the mouthpiece for the base and decider of who got bum-rushed, now it's a lot more organic and I don't think he can (credibly) claim credit for a call out anymore. He does a lot less distributing (have you heard about this one folks?) and a lot more punditry/freeform hate-jazz now. Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Jun 27, 2014 |

The GI's ended up in a firefight with the sheriffs and secured the ballot boxes. The corrupt local government was voted out and a new government voted in. Hallmark made a movie about it a while back.

I couldn't find any great sources for Virginia primary turnouts so I originally tossed this out but now I'm like gently caress might as well just bang it out... One wikiplace said in between 08 and 12 it was about 24% turnout for the primary, 47% for the general and the total votes in the gen were around 650k. That math sucks rear end because they didn't have info on all of the years, so I'm generalizing, but they did mention that it declined year to year. I don't know if that decline could balance out the Dem fuckery increasing the primary turnout this year...but if you assume there was the same interest in the primaries as previous years that'd be somewhere around 300k....charitably assume you can 50/50 that for GOP and DEM primaries....150k dem primary voters. Idk, I feel like I'm missing something but I think it's feasible 45 out of 150 dem primary voters were interested in loving with McDaniels. http://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections_in_West_Virginia,_2014
