Kind of funny that when George W Bush gave a speech they would wrangle the protesters into "free speech zones" to keep them away from cameras and the media. Now when Obama gives speeches everyone is waving guns around in front of cameras talking about how he's taking away their freedom. Interesting how times change.

Obama joked that Kanye West was going to run for speaker of the house. I'm not sure he should be giving him any ideas.

evilweasel posted:Thing is, that piece isn't about the tea party. It's about the Republican Party as a whole. He's no longer pretending that the lunatics are a wing of the party: he's saying "well, all the sane people are dead and only the lunatics are left". I'm glad David Brooks found something to complain about other than people who are poor having sex without his permission. Venom Snake posted:Does this turtle face moron realize playing chicken with the world economy is going to make a lot of people hate our guts. Even looking like we might default could cause a disaster. Sure, those people are on one side. The other side is glaring at him while parading around with John Boehner's head on a pike.

zoux posted:I notice that among Bernie supporters, there's the same vein of "My candidate has never failed, nor done bad" that was common among Paulites. It's easy to say about Ron Paul because he never did anything to be wrong about. His stances, sure, but he only got about one bill passed and voted no on everything else.

Radish posted:I am curious if anything will get the media to stop their "both sides just can't agree!" messaging. I guess we'll see when they try to shut down the government this time. MSNBC seems to be getting more and more conservative anchors so I'm sure both they and Fox News will agree on who the party at fault is fairly soon.

Good profile of the guy who infiltrated Planned Parenthood and the other companies they collaborate with for organ donation and research. It is from Washington Post but it's a good story. Explains why he is going to be so hosed by lawsuits for violating non disclosure agreements but that will just feed into the persecution complex of the people against PP. Its either completely sanctioned and legal or the entire government is covering up and complicit in murder. I think you can guess what side most of them will choose.

Trabisnikof posted:You guys are fools if you think Carson's book tour won't look a lot like campaigning It's much like McCarthy's comment about the Benghazi hearings. Doesn't change anything but it is objective proof that the whole thing is just a farce. Mr. Nice! posted:The slavery for crimes things is a very libertarian concept and plays well with a lot of the tea party crowd. This doesn't make any sense. I thought rich white people were already slaves. To taxes. Fried Chicken posted:I kinda wonder if it will be more the "Lean In" rich white woman style feminism, or something more shaped by mass social media today. Gamergate version 2.0.

Since Webb was the first dem nominee to drop out after the debates you could honestly say that Chafee's campaign defied expectations.

Aurubin posted:Oof, this title is just mean, entitled bastard that Chafee is notwithstanding: It's pretty hilarious that they wrote this about Chafee while Lessig is still running. I blame the fact that nobody in the media gives a poo poo about Lessig for this. Joementum posted:Update: I guessed wrong and he's going to put out a statement that they're staying on the panel. Not sure why that needs a statement, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He knows that quitting would feed into the "Dems running scared" narrative so he would rather make a statement saying "We know this is bullshit but instead of quitting were just going to watch them shoot themselves in the foot over and over again while trying not to laugh." RevKrule posted:I've already seen this and a few people saying they should charge her because she pled the 5th which obviously means you're guilty. So if using a provision of the constitution to proclaim innocence means you are guilty should we start arresting gun owners?

Mr Interweb posted:Haha, this is the angriest I've ever seen Rand Paul get. This is in response to a Buzzfeed reporter who apparently has a history of criticizing Rand Paul for using fake founding father quotes: Rand Paul opens up a book with footnotes. "What is all this bullshit pedantry?" It's also funny that he's treating Thomas Jefferson quotes like the teachings of Jesus that scholars argue about. It's not like he wrote stuff down or anything.

His middle name is Davis so maybe it's an attempt at finding common ground. If the HFC starts revolting he will go all the way to capitulate and change his first name to Jefferson.
