Vote Democrat! ‘Your Slave-Holding, Murdering, Adulterous, Baby-Raping, Incestuous, Snaggle-Toothed, Backward-A**ed, Inbreed, Imported Criminal-Minded Kin Folk’

A guy named Eddie Maxwell e-mailed Alabama state legislators to express his concern for preserving the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. It was an open-CC e-mail, and what ensued was a flaming open-CC’d response by Alabama state Rep. Joseph Mitchell, whose colleagues and constituents were shocked by the venomous hostility.

Uh, no comment from Sean Penn’s son.

Alabama Recruits Top Football Talent With Promises of Academic Excellence and Hot Girlfriends, But Mainly …

. . . yeah, Crimson Tide football recruits really like the hot girlfriends:

Katherine Webb, who stole the BCS National Championship Game broadcast out from under her star-quarterback boyfriend A.J. McCarron, is blowing up. She has been tapped to compete in ABC’s upcoming reality competition “Celebrity Diving,” she guest hosted Inside Edition’s Super Bowl coverage and now she has appeared in Sports Illustrated‘s famed Swimsuit Edition.

And, yes, the BCS National Champions got the No. 1 recruiting class in the country this year because . . . hot girlfreinds.

WE BACK MACK!

Just when you were feeling down in the dumps — still 1,460 days remaining in Obama’s second term — Amanda Read brings you reason to hope: Say hello to Stanley Mack, a U.S. Navy veteran who is running for Congress in Alabama’s 7th District in 2014.

It’s a 3-to-1 Democrat district, but there is reason to hope: Alabama has a strong statewide Republican Party. The GOP finally captured the state legislature after the 2010 mid-terms, and the incumbent Democrat is a no-name you never heard of — a perfect target for one of those grassroots-backed underdog challengers we love.

Most incumbent Republicans in Alabama will coast to victory by 2-to-1 margins in 2014, so the statewide party apparatus could help lend support to promising challengers like Stanley Mack, potentially knocking off an incumbent even in a strong Democrat district. If the online grassroots can help drive fundraising and publicity for a good candidate like Stanley Mack, he could really change some hearts and minds.

STANLEY MACK for U.S. CONGRESS
Let’s Back the Mack Attack!

Leave Brent Musberger Alone!

Katherine Webb: Not bad to look at, despite attending Auburn.

If he needs a Chris Crocker, I’ll step up to defend the ESPN announcer who — while Alabama was dismantling Notre Dame in the BCS game — felt obliged to report the Neutral Objective Facts:

“You see that lovely lady there, she does go to Auburn, but she’s also Miss Alabama and that’s AJ McCarron’s girlfriend. You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman. Wow.”

Why all the outrage? She is indeed Miss Alabama and, the last time I checked, that was what is known as a “beauty pageant.”

While Musberger’s comments may have been a bit gushy, it wasn’t as if he said anything salacious, rude or inappropriate. This involves something I’ve discussed before: Beauty is an objective fact.

Beauty exists independent of our recognition of it. However, in our sexualized “hook-up” culture, male acknowledgement of beauty is presumed to convey sexual interest, a de facto proposition. So when Brett Musberger says Katherine Webb is a “lovely lady” — which she most certainly is — many people hear that as, “I’d hit it.”

Or, as Darnell Dockett might say: “Wing Stop.” (Dockett says that when he publicly Tweeted his phone number to Webb, he actually meant to send it via DM, the kind of social-media accident Neal Rauhauser and his paranoid crew of “Weiner Truthers” claim can only be explained by a Breitbart-coordinated right-wing conspiracy. But I digress . . .)

Feminism and the concern about workplace discrimination have imposed a new sort of puritanism, a kind of neo-Victorian repression in which even an entirely innocent comment can be portrayed as harassment, as an attempt to “hit on” someone. If all acknowledgements of beauty are viewed as expressions of sexual interest (“drooling,” as some have characterized Musberger’s comments), then a sort of taboo becomes embeded in our customs and habits, and thus has radical feminism triumphed by shaming people into silence. The question is, why?

Rush Limbaugh’s Undeniable Truth #24: “Feminism was established so as to permit unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”

ESPN actually apologized for Brent Musberger’s comments, as if he were the one sending his digits to A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend. We don’t even know if Webb or McCarron were offended.

Rather — and this is what tells you that a powerful taboo is involved — critical thought is immediately suspended and everyone simply reacts according to a culturally normative script, with people saying things they know they’re supposed to say, and everyone is intimidated by fear of being attacked if they ask, “Why all this anger? What exactly did Brent Musberger say that deserves such a firestorm? Why does this ‘controversy’ require an article in the New York Times?”

“It’s extraordinarily inappropriate to focus on an individual’s looks,” said Sue Carter, a professor of journalism at Michigan State. “In this instance, the appearance of the quarterback’s girlfriend had no bearing on the outcome of the game. It’s a major personal violation, and it’s so retrograde that it’s embarrassing. I think there’s a generational issue, but it’s incumbent on people practicing in these eras to keep up and this is not a norm.”

Yeah? Well, it may rather “retrograde,” but let me quote an acknowledged expert on what is “extraordinarily inappropriate” — Ace of Spades:

“I would hit that so hard I’d split atoms in her privates.”

Did Brett Musberger say that about Katherine Webb? No. He just said she was a “lovely lady.” Does anyone deny that she is? No.

But the praise of beauty implies a negative judgment against the less-beautiful, and this is an inequality that feminists regard as intolerable.

UPDATE: House of Eratosthenes:

If I live to be a hundred and fifty, I’ll never figure out why people allow complete strangers like Sue Carter professor of journalism, all this traffic-cop-go-and-stop authority over whether they’re allowed to notice a woman is beautiful. Why would you do that? Why would you surrender that kind of power? It almost suggests a fear of making personal decisions, even for matters of style and taste.

Some people just crave approval so desperately that they are afraid of saying or doing anything that might risk disapproval. The Left is very good at intimidating people like that, and is also good at ginning up the kind of lynch-mob fury needed to “make an example” of anyone who refuses to cooperate with the Left’s agenda.

UPDATE II: You know who’s not offended by Brent Musberger’s remarks? Attractive women, including those on Fox News:

Kirsten Powers: “He called her lovely and beautiful. People act like he was drooling and saying inappropriate things. To me, this is just Feminism gone awry.”
Monica Crowley: “When I’m watching the NFL and Tom Brady comes on screen, I have some choice words about him. He’s such a hunk!”
Megyn Kelly: “It’s crazy to me that ESPN felt that he went too far in doing what all the judges at the [Miss Alabama] competition did and millions of Americans did as well. I don’t know a woman who doesn’t like to be told she’s beautiful.”

Alabama Wins Second Consecutive BCS Title, Humiliates Notre Dame 42-14

Posted on Comments

The University of Alabama defended its national football championship in an impressive style Monday, blowing out previously top-ranked Notre Dame 42-14 in the BCS title game in Miami.

It was the third BCS title in four years for Coach Nick Saban’s team, as Alabama dominated the Irish to claim the 15th national championship in the school’s famed football history.

The Crimson Tide offense came out firing on all cylinders, opening the game with an 81-yard drive that ended with Eddie Lacy running 20 yards for the touchdown. Lacy finished with 140 yards rushing and also scored a TD on an 11-yard pass from quarterback A.J. McCarron right before the half. McCarron threw for a total of four touchdowns, including two second-half TDs to Amari Cooper. McCarron completed 20 of 28 passes for 264 yards passing. Alabama’s freshman running back T.J. Yeldon added 108 yards rushing, including a second-quarter TD run.

Scoring three touchdowns on its first three possessions, Alabama’s highly-rated offensive line — led by senior center Barrett Jones — proved more than Notre Dame could handle. The Crimson Tide offense racked up a total of 529 yards, while their defense held the previously undefeated Irish to 302 yards. It was not until Alabama had built a 35-0 lead that Notre Dame finally scored its first touchdown, on a run by quarterback Everett Golson.

UPDATE: Linked by Becca Lower and Daley Gator — thanks! — and by Donald Douglas at American Power, who previously pointed out this unfortunate prediction by a Los Angeles Times sports columnist:

Yeah: They don’t know nothing about football out there in L.A. The Southeastern Conference has now won seven consecutive BCS titles.

 

 

* PREVIOUSLY (10:10 p.m. ET) *

Eddie Lacy ran for nearly 100 yards and scored two touchdowns, while Alabama’s defense manhandled top-ranked Notre Dame as the Crimson Tide took a 28-0 halftime lead over the top-ranked Irish in the BCS college football championship game Monday in Miami.

Alabama dominated from the outset, driving 82 yards in six plays for a 20-yard touchdown run for Lacy. The Crimson Tide capitalized on mistakes by a Notre Dame defense that seemed unnerved and unsteady. Lacy continued pounding away on the second ‘Bama TD drive, alternatiing with passes by Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron who capped it with a 3-yard TD pass to Michael Williams.

Notre Dame’s QB Everett Golson and his offense were luckless. Golson completed only 8 of 16 passes for 93 yards in the first half, while the Irish running game amounted to only 31 yards. Alabama dominated time of possession by nearly a 2-to-1 margin, and the Crimson Tide defense limited Notre Dame to just five first downs in the first half.

Alabama drove 80 yards for its third TD of the night on a 1-yard run by freshman T.J. Yeldon, and scored again just before halftime on an 11-yard pass from McCarron to Lacy. McCarron ended the first half 12-for-18 for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

UPDATE: Three minutes before kickoff, I made this prediction:

UPDATE: With 11 minutes still to play, Alabama is leading 42-7 and has amassed 502 yards total offense. McCarron threw two more TD passes to Amari Cooper. Eddie Lacy’s now got 142 yards rushing, and the freshman running back Yeldon has 89 yards. For some reason, this Tweet has been kinda popular:

* PREVIOUSLY (8:10 p.m. ET) *

Tonight, the Glorious and Eternal Triumph of the Mighty Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS (Bama Championship Show). Kickoff is 8:30 p.m. ET and the game will be televised by ESPN from Sun Life Stadium in Miami. But for some folks, every day is like game day:

Hat-tip: Kyle Jane Kremer on Twitter. And speaking of Twitter, I’ve changed my profile for Game Day:

 

UPDATE: Alabama took the opening kickoff and went on an 81-yard yard drive capped by an Eddie Lacy TD run. A.J. McCarron completed a 29-yard pass early in the drive, and Notre Dame’s defense — clearly shaken up and nervous — had two costly penalties.

UPDATE II: Yet another Alabama touchdown drive, this one ending with a McCarron pass. it’s 14-0 already, and still more than 6 minutes left in the first quarter.

UPDATE III: It’s now 21-0.

Alabama just punted for the first time tonight, with 11 minutes to go until the half. All their previous possessions ended in touchdowns.

 


The Nick Saban Approach to the Problem of Chuck Hagel: ‘Make His Ass Quit’

Posted on Comments

Superficial sarcasm is arguably unfair: Accusing Chuck Hagel of “hating” homosexuals or Jews because of policy disagreements? However . . .

Since when did the Left give a damn about fairness in politics?

“By Any Means Necessary” has long been the amoral nihilistic slogan of the radical Left, just like “they bring a knife, you bring a gun” has always been the ruthless ethos of The Chicago Way.

Democrats are willing to accept Hagel’s alleged homophobia in order to gain a weapon with which to clobber the hated “neoconservatives,” by which they really mean, the Israel Lobby.

Let us pause to point out that there is no real reason to believe that the Bush administration’s ill-fated decision to invade Iraq — and the subsequent “nation-building” folly of a misguided scheme to impose democracy on Mesopotamia at the point of a bayonet — was a Zionist plot. Nevertheless, the exclusion of Old Right types from the high counsels of the Republican Party was an Idea that had Consequences.

Maybe you hate the Ron Paul/Chuck Hagel/Pat Buchanan strand of anti-interventionist America First conservatism, but in hindsight, wouldn’t it have been helpful if there had been at least one person in Dubya’s inner circle who could have said, “Hey, wait a minute here, Chief. Is this really a wise choice? Shouldn’t we be skeptical about this project? Aren’t we obliged to consider the downside risk?”

It’s obviously hard to include such people in the Inner Circle if their doubts about the policy merits of foreign adventurism are automatically condemned as evidence of Jew-hating. So . . .

With those serious caveats in mind, conservatives should not hesitate to roast liberals for the hypocrisy and cynicism inherent in the “Democrats for Hagel” bandwagon. If that vicious bastard Andrew Sullivan supports Hagel, this is reason enough for any patriotic American to oppose the Hagel nomination. And the obverse of this brutal logic is that we must welcome every ally to our cause of defeating Obama’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, in order to inflict maximum embarrassment on the Democrats. They might “win” — Hagel’s nomination may be approved by the Senate — but the conservative strategy must be aimed at making that “win” as damaging as possible to the reputation of the Democratic Party.

If we can’t beat them, at least make sure we hurt them.

There is perhaps no friend of Israel who is more hated by the Left than is Elliott Abrams, who writes at The Weekly Standard:

During the hearings on Chuck Hagel’s nomination to be secretary of defense, it’s clear that the views of gay rights organizations will be heard. There the issue seems to be whether Hagel’s apology for previous remarks and beliefs was sincere, or motivated solely by self-interest. He had years to apologize publicly, but did so only when opposition from gay rights groups threatened his nomination.
But in the case of allegations of anti-Semitism, Hagel has not even apologized. He has remained silent, though one can expect the usual “perhaps I didn’t word that sentence as best I might have” excuse to emerge at his hearings. The question is, what might he have to apologize for? Why would anyone think he was an anti-Semite? . . .

Read the whole thing. But the blunt force of the argument can be made simpler and more effective. Quin Hillyer at The American Spectator:

Obama the Anti-Semite?

Ah, this is the knife under the fifth rib, you see!

This is how to win in politics,, or in anything else: You begin with the determined willpower to win. Everything else is just a matter of tactics. And I ain’t never heard of a “fair fight.” Where I come from, we believe like Coach Saban believes:

“You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you’re up against and you make his ass quit!“

 

ROLL TIDE!

The hashtag need not be translated, for there is but one Tide and it shall forever Roll. There is but one Tuscaloosa on the planet, and there is but one team that wears the fabled Crimson, and by whom all others must be conquered. (OK, shut up, Aggies. I’m doing epic poetry here.)

And lo, there was a name,
Heard as an echo awakened,
As if of a Lady possessed by many.
Terrible was that song, that sound that sang
Upon every touchdown they scored.

Then the vision came upon me, as I saw
A tide of crimson that rolled
So that the singers sang of their Lady no more.

Silent were the voices of those
Who came from the North
In the land of the Indians
At a river whose bend was South.

Silent they were, for the glory
Of which they would sing
Had ceased to Be
In the Cee Ess.

Two numbers I saw, a one and a zero;
The former the rank of the Tide, and
The latter the number of points
Scored by those who followed the Lady.

Down were they shut and
Silent was their band.
All the joy in Miami
Was for old Alabam.

The yardage amassed by the One,
Into silence it stunned
The Irish who had defied
The mighty, the awesome,
Triumphant Crimson Tide.

They sang, Rammer Jammer!
And a toast did they drink
To the women you’ll see,
If you’ll just click this link.

 


ALABAMA 32, GEORGIA 28

Posted on Comments

An exclusive report from our Alabama bureau:

By Bert The Samoan Lawyer
SPECIAL TO THE OTHER MCCAIN
TUSCALOOSA
In a stunning display of the ability to run out the clock, in a game punctuated by clock mismanagement on both sides, an Alabama team that displayed exactly the same weaknesses that it underlined in Sharpie, highlighted, and pointed to with those little 19th-century “pointing finger” logos in both the LSU and Texas A&M games, managed to hold on for a win that the Georgia Bulldogs would surely have procured had they simply stopped the clock with a spiked ball after their last first-down.
Alabama fans everywhere are praying that Notre Dame’s game-film viewing machines will break down, and that all its coaches were struck blind during Alabama’s last four games but, as Billy Joe Bob Stumpwater observed, “it’s ok if the Irish watched the Auburn game, just not the other three.”
The overwhelming fan sentiment, however, is “who cares; we’re going to the BCS and Georgia isn’t. And neither is Texas A&M,” as relayed by some blond girl in a houndstooth hat who followed up with, “I’m so drunk . . .”

Plans to provide exclusive blog coverage of the BCS Championship Game Jan. 7 in Miami are contingent on readers hitting the tip jar in a very serious way. Media credentials deadline is Dec. 14.
