Yeah, Al Clark, it does make you think. So 9/11 and Hiroshima are the same thing? Shintofascism bombed Pearl Harbor? The scary part of this is that there are a lot of people out there who are this good with Photoshop and yet are unquestioning Beck fans. The danger posed in that combination cannot be overstated.
CriminalJusticeDepartment.org is a site that is advertising on Facebook. Is it any surprise the police force attracts some of the types it does? I mean, look at that splash page! Christ.
Here is Michelle Bachmann’s first campaign ad. Looks like Joe the Plumber will need that unemployment extension after all as Jim the Election Guy has taken his job.
My goodness, Bachmann, Pawlenty, Kline, Coleman and Paulsen? All for Tom Emmer?! It’s a Minnesota gay hate supper party! You can join them too at The Home of Marty & Anne Davis, 26310 Birch Bluff, Shorewood, MN
Hello genius. This is an email from the Colorado gubernatorial race. Full text after the jump but this is the best part:
“The McInnis Plagiarism Pen is a fine black pen with a rubber comfort grip, perfect for studying in school or writing the next Great American Novel. Best of all, the user will be constantly reminded of the importance of intellectual honesty.”
Bradlee Dean of the You Can Run But You Can’t Hide “ministry,” supported by both Michelle Bachman’s and Tom Emmer, the recipient of Target’s backing for Minnesota governor, has issued a statement on Prop . Impeach the judge! Email below:
And after the jump, audio of Mr. Dean’s comments about how calling for the execution of American homosexuals is upholding the laws in the bible, a call that makes them “more moral.” (more…)
This is what I was worried about when I wrote about MoveOn.org’s involvement in the Target gay-rights controversy. I wrote at The Awl:
“Jumping aboard, MoveOn.org launched a petition calling for 150,000 consumers to commit to a boycott. While welcomed by many, there is reason to be wary of MoveOn.org’s particular involvement. For starters, its statement reads “If we don’t push back hard, this will just be the tip of the iceberg. Other corporations will learn that they can pour money into elections to buy the outcome they want.” It essentially lessens the anti-gay rights part of the Target donation outrage in exchange for a focus on a larger battle about the post-Citizens United campaigning world… one in which MoveOn.org’s side benefits greatly. Some, like me, might use a stronger word than “lamentable” to characterize MoveOn’s failure to even once use the term “gay” in its petition”
”The campaign against Target was orchestrated by liberal-advocacy group MoveOn.org. It included a note on the retailer’s Facebook page that said, ‘Boycott Target Until They Cease Funding Anti-Gay Politics.’
‘We made Target the target,’ said Ilyse Hogue, the group’s director of public advocacy. Ms. Hogue said MoveOn and its members plan to gin up bad publicity for any company venturing into political campaigning.”
Congratulations to Ilyse Hogue for walking right into that trap. Extra points for your shitty pun. How do we know Hogue isn’t up to speed? WaPo: “Ms. Hogue said MoveOn.org wouldn’t let up until Target stops ‘meddling in our elections.’” Maybe she should hit the FEC database to see where, as I covered at the Awl, Target’s been meddling for a decade.
