I think there might be some Paultards there too.

You’re not the first person to call this to my attention. I’m biting my tongue, for now. Like many of Governor Palin’s supporters, I have been exasperated by the will-she-or-won’t-she waiting game. However, until we have her answer, I’ll refrain from comment, either on her apparent indecision or on Red State’s unnecessary mockery.

They are all-in for Rick Perry over there, which is their right. But they’ve been just as guilty as the Cocktail Party GOP as using the same mockery of Sarah Palin as the Hate Left.

Why the obsession on “Paultards?” Do you realize it makes you look like more of a moron than you think they are?

Robert Stacy McCain & The Underground Conservative, note –

“Red State” has been renamed “Red State 4 Perry” for weeks. They are corporate owned and co-oped.

I have no trouble with Sarah Palin taking her time. As it turns out, neither does Donna Brazile, as she wrote in June 2011:

“Palin can wait until the last possible moment to officially file her intent to run. Others who have already filed or are looking to file need to start developing traction-generating strategies now. However, Palin has both name recognition and the ability to quickly raise the funds needed to pull together a massive organization in the key early states. This media-savvy political professional can decide when it is the right time for her to file. “

Note also: Sarah Palin has never officially stated that she will make her decision on X date. The speculation and conjecture as to a particular date has been by those spicing and slicing her words to extract a date only later to disappoint anyone who bought in to the conjecture. Of course, the media and “conservative” blogs have fanned the flames.

As a kid I used to go into the city all the time to buy concert tickets to scalp.  I would wait on line at 7:00 a.m. or so, buy tickets for shows I thought would sell out and pe popular, and sell them back at high school for well over face price.   I cut school all the time to do it (this is before the school administrators started to demand mandatory attendence).   The better the seats the better price you would get.  These were in the days concerts were not priced so high (bands toured not to make money but to promote albums that made money–now bands make most of their money touring). 

But I digress. 

When a New York cop told you to do something, I quickly learned to pay attention and do it.  You would see some 16 year old mouth off to the cop and he would ram him in the stomach with his night stick (to add insult to injury he also lost his place in line).  I saw it happen dozens of times.  Of course, no YouTube, no cell phones with camera or video.  I quickly learned being polite was a very good idea with the NYPD.  So I was never on the receiving end of it. 

In that analogy, Erick Erickson is Fonzie?

Is there a preferred detergent for use in water cannon?

As a conservative Deadhead and 25 year concert-goer (over 200 and counting), I would also like to commend the NYPD for resisting the nagging temptation to beat the everloving crap out of these numbskulled hippies. In addition, special kudos to them for having to endure the nasal assault of body odor and patchouli.

“Vermin” is a very appropriate word for these wretchedly coddled ingrates, and I call on the protesters to give up their iPhones, laptops, gaming systems, and any of the trappings of capitalism that have made their lives so soft! Decry the evils of capitalism, while enjoying the fruits of it… That IS the definition of hypocrisy.

I have a love/hate relationship with hippies… I LOVE their music, and HATE their politics!!

 Yeah, except that EE was never as cool as The Fonz.

Bronx borne; Staten Island reared. I learned at an early age, via various uncles and older cousins that were cops, that “YOU ARE NEVER RIGHT UNLESS A JUDGE SAYS SO.  So keep your smartass yap trapped when a Blue tells you what to do.”

Man, he was murder. He got me kicked off Red State for a diary entry I wrote where I proposed Sarah Palin as the head of the RNC. This was right about the time when Michael Steele was being pressured to resign, but was still holding on. When I posted my diary entry, under the screen name Independent Pagan (or something like that) he hit me so hard with his merry band of trolls, I thought I was being attacked by Democrat trolls, and so I responded in kind. I didn’t realize he was in tight with Erich Ericson, and then the next thing you know I’m hit with the ban hammer. I couldn’t even get on the site, let alone post. That ban was finally lifted, and now he’s gone, and as far as I’m concerned Ericson did the right thing, albeit he waited far too long.

Your theory about his reasons for hating Palin is closer to the mark than you might suspect. He was actually, at one time, a high official of Governor Murkowski’s Labor Relations Board. He was basically a connected political thug. He used intimidation tactics just short of threatening the lives of troublesome labor leaders, and may have even crossed that line for all I know. Since I have no love lost for union leaders, its hard to fault him for that, but unfortunately he seems to be the kind of guy who has no trouble using questionable tactics against any perceived opponent, including Palin and her supporters.

I’ve often wondered if he wasn’t one of the unnamed sources for Joe McGinniss’s book.

The Monster wins; thread over.

No, in this version Potsie gets the ski jump.  The shark likes his chances.

I always liked Paulistinians too. 

Red State has its own agenda.  It is not necessarily the same as the conservative agenda. 

” … what is happening is that there is a
belief that their actions matter, that they themselves are moral beings
who have dignity and power simply by the very act of self-expression.”   ”
=============

I had thought that tantrums and feces-flinging indicated something OTHER than “dignity and power”; but then again, I was raised in a more genteel era.

I prefer to save that for “Romneylan’ for Mitt Romney, mainly because he looks like a fucking Romulan. Paul looks more like one of those weird little creatures from Deep Space Nine. That would probably really piss him off, seeing as how they were supposedly based on Jews and what not.

We could download SCORPION STARE into the traffic cameras near the Democratic Convention.  That level of dedicated insane faith is very likely to bring through something unwholesome.  Granted, we’d end up medusasizing several thousand Dem delegates, but this is not the time to gamble with TEOTWAKI, IYKWIMAITTYD.

I remember getting a snootful of CS during basic training at Fort Leonard Wood. Cleared up the sinus infection I had toot suite.

One of my more oddball ideas is that Art Chance should be the Chief of Staff in the next Republican administration.  The federal bureaucracy needs a political thug like Art to go in there and give it the thrashing it so richly needs; I wouldn’t expect him to be able to survive more than a year to a year and a half in a job like that, but he wouldn’t care if the Left demonized him, cause he’d just retire to his boat in Alaska when he resigns.
 

Probably the bigger tragedy was that none of the Kent State University teachers or staff was rounded up and presented with the gift of a one way ticket to North Korea.
