Why Won’t Democrats Answer Questions About Kentucky Eavesdropping Scandal?

Posted on | April 12, 2013 | 20 Comments

The minute I mentioned the scandal involving Progress Kentucky’s secret recording of Mitch McConnell, the lady on the phone at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said, “I’ll put you through to his voicemail” — meaning DSCC spokesman Justin Barasky, who didn’t return my call. Gee, I wonder why?

The question of connections between Progress Kentucky and Democrat officials is not merely a matter of public relations, but also a matter of federal campaign law, which regulates “coordination” between political campaigns and outside groups. . . .
A Kentucky Democrat said Thursday that the Progress Kentucky activists bragged to him about their secret recording of McConnell. Did anyone at DSCC have knowledge of Progress Kentucky’s recording prior to its publication by David Corn at Mother Jones? McConnell has asked the FBI to investigate the recording, and it is not yet known whether potential violations of federal campaign law are part of that investigation.

You can read the whole thing at Viral Read. I’m not the only reporter getting the runaround from Democrats on this story. Dan Riehl asks: “What Did Brad Woodhouse Know and when did he know it?”

Yeah, as soon as their “progressive” pals get caught in shenanigans, Democrats do their Sergeant Schultz act: “I know nuzzink!”

Mark Pryor: Reliably Unreliable

Posted on | April 12, 2013 | 9 Comments

As much as conservatives hate RINOs, liberals hate “Blue Dog” Democrats like Sen. Mark Pryor, and I have a hard time convincing conservatives that they should hate Pryor as much as the Left does.

Blue Dogs are majority-makers for Democrats, providing liberals with a tissue-thin pretext for pretending that the Democrats are not wholly controlled by far-left radicals (which of course they actually are). Democrats’ pretense of being a “mainstream” party — a fiction their stooges in the media help impose on the minds of gullible low-information voters — is made possible in large part by ridiculous frauds like Mark Pryor, a fossil vestige of the corrupt Clinton era in Arkansas.

Nobody with an IQ above room temperature believes a word Mark Pryor says about anything, and the exactly two reasons the White House and the national Democrat Party establishment have lined up to support Pryor in his (probably doomed) 2014 re-election campaign are:

  1. They believe Pryor can raise enough money from big corporate donors that the DSCC won’t have to spend money on his behalf, leaving them a free hand to defend seats they might actually keep; and
  2. The Democrat Party in Arkansas is so hopelessly weak that they can’t find any primary challenger to Pryor who stands a snowball’s chance in Hell.

Make no mistake: Pryor is completely doomed next year, and Democrats know it, but they have to maintain the illusion that Pryor might get re-elected, because otherwise the math tilts significantly toward the GOP’s chances of taking of the Senate, and once the big-money donors see that result as likely, Democrats are going to have a hard time raising campaign cash. This is why, by the way, Democrats were so desperate to make it look like Mitch McConnell was in a “scandal” — a desperation that didn’t work out too well — because if the Dems can’t challenge any GOP seats in red states, there could easily be a campaign-donor stampede toward the Republicans next year.

If you want to see Mark Pryor’s future, just look at what happened to Blanche Lincoln four years ago: She got challenged by Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in the Democrat primary, barely survived that, and then lost by a whopping 21-point margin to John Boozman in the general election.

Blanche Lincoln is now a corporate lobbyist for Wal-Mart, and Mitt Romney carried Arkansas with 61% of the vote last year.

Any attempt to find a Democrat other than Pryor for this year’s Senate race would probably require putting their face on milk cartons or something: “Have you seen this missing Democrat?”

The next Senator from Arkansas will be a Republican, and the question is whether there is enough of a moonbat constituency in Arkansas to run a “progressive” challenge against Pryor, which might encourage him to announce his retirement early.

Meanwhile, this two-faced “Blue Dog” weasel is still in the Senate, trying frantically to pretend that he’s a viable hope for re-election, which requires him to pretend he’s not out of touch with folks back home: He was FOR the assault-weapons ban before he was against it!

What a freaking joke . . .

UC-Irvine English Lecturer Kaufman Demonstrates His Psychic Powers

Posted on | April 12, 2013 | 54 Comments

Scott Eric Kaufman lectures at UC-Irvine, 2007

“As the sarcastic title and tone of ‘Homophobic Bigotry Update’ indicates, McCain knows that for him and his audience this is a ‘Dog Bites Man’ story. He’s just not honest enough to admit that he wants to call attention to what he believes to be an epidemic of gay child-rearing perfidy, because he knows that expressing his homophobic beliefs will out him as a homophobe and is just this side of smart-enough not to want that to happen.”
— Scott Eric Kaufman, University of California-Irvine, “Robert Stacy McCain, a homophobe, doesn’t even understand what he calls ‘a basic rule of journalism,'” April 11, 2013

Kaufman clearly missed his calling: Given his amazing ability to read minds — his certainty about what other people “know,” “believe” and “want” — Kaufman could make a fortune as a psychic, or at least a carnival sideshow act.

Kaufman the Magnificent: He Sees All! He Knows All!

Kaufman is one of those people who expect to succeed on the basis of having the Officially Approved Opinions, and who are outraged to discover that anyone can succeed on any other basis.

It’s the Hall Monitor Syndrome — Ferris Bueller’s sister.

Nobody ever cared about my opinion on the subject of “gay child-rearing” (perhaps an inconvenient choice of words in this context, but never mind) until I started writing about politics.

In the world of politics, having the Officially Approved Opinions seems to be the entirety of virtue, which explains how Ted Kennedy could be celebrated as a courageous champion of women’s rights, and Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.

Well, if I’d written anything about Scott Eric Kaufman before today, I don’t remember it, but others know him well: Three years ago, he appeared as a “moby” false-flag troll at Ann Althouse’s blog.

About the same time, Donald Douglas observed, Kaufman was “apparently teaching courses on ‘Manga’ and the literary origins of films like The Last Airbender.”

It’s a busy life for Scott Kaufman, Ph.D.: Blog-trolling, lecturing about cartoons and vigilantly monitoring the Internet to detect homophobia with his clairvoyant mind-radar. Perhaps this explains why Scott Kaufman, Ph.D., has so much difficulty finishing other projects:

He is currently under contract with Fountainhead Press to produce a book on visual rhetoric called, appropriately enough, Seeing Rhetoric. It will be published in 2011 if it kills him.

Hmmm. Checking Fountainhead Press — “a conscientious, eco-friendly publisher that provides innovative yet inexpensive products to the higher education market” — and I don’t see Kaufman’s Seeing Rhetoric there, and if he’s published it anywhere else, I can’t find it.

What else has Scott Kaufman, Ph.D. published? Well, for a while, he had a blog at the Chronicle of Higher Education, where on Sept. 10, 2009, he published a post with this title:

Be nice, now. The English language is not
Ed Morrissey’s strong suit, and he at least
makes a show of reining in the racist comments
he knowingly baits from his audience.

Ed Morrissey’s a racist and I’m a homophobe and Scott Kaufman, Ph.D. is one mightier than either of us, the latchet of whose shoes we are not worthy to stoop down and unloose. Meanwhile, in July 2009, Scott Kaufman, Ph.D., began a blog post with this pompous preamble:

Before I get started, I want to acknowledge that I know Ann Althouse is an attention fiend, and as such revels in any that comes her way. Furthermore, I know that giving her the attention she craves will only embolden her to spout even more outrageous nonsense in the future. However, the white-hotness of her intellectual dishonesty here compels me to consider it a vacuity of historical import.

The subject of this lecture on “intellectual dishonesty”? Whether Obama had looked at Mayara Rodrigues Tavares’s butt.

No, I’m not kidding.

Between his examinations of these lofty academic matters — and being a “moby” and lecturing about cartoons — Scott Kaufman, Ph.D., applies his keen forensic skill to diagnosing those who suffer irrational fear of homosexuals, because he is not just an arrogant know-it-all, but also selflessly devoted to eliminating all haters, everywhere.

‘Democrat Ethics’

Posted on | April 11, 2013 | 23 Comments

You seldom see those two words in the same sentence, except when a Democrat is convicted of ethics violations or — as occasionally happens — pleads guilty to felonies. The Democratic Party is the most successful criminal organization in American history, and the amazing thing is that they haven’t yet stolen everything that’s not nailed down.

But have patience, they’re trying as hard as they can.

Anyway, the bungling dimwits thought they’d uncovered a Republican scandal, namely Mitch McConnell’s discussion of the fact that Ashley Judd is as nutty as a Snickers bar, information they obtained by means of electronic eavesdropping by a couple of “progressive activists,” which phrase is apparently a Kentucky synonym for criminals:

According to the version of the story now being told by local Democrat official Jacob Conway, two activists with Progress Kentucky “bragged to him about how they recorded the meeting” at McConnell’s campaign headquarters, using an iPhone to record it from the hallway.
A Democrat National Committee official LOLed at calls to denounce the secret recording, and accused McConnell of “trying to distract” from the fact that Republicans considered making an issue of ”a woman’s decades old mental health issues.” Except that it wasn’t “decades old.” Judd sought help for her mental illness as recently 2006 . . .

Read the whole thing. You can’t make this stuff up.

UPDATE: Didn’t I say you can’t make this stuff up?

UPDATE II: The rats are fleeing the sinking ship:

Jacob Conway, the Jefferson County Democratic Party’s executive committee member who originally accused Progress Kentucky of making the recording, told NBC News he was on his way to talk to the FBI about the allegations. And the group’s treasurer confirmed he had quit his position after the audio was published.
“At this time based on advice of both friends and counsel, I will be not be making a public statement available until everything has been reviewed by an attorney at this time,” Douglas L. Davis told NBC News. “I have resigned my position as treasurer and did not and do not condone any allegations of illegal activity that might have taken place.”

Remember: This started when David Corn of Mother Jones thought he was exposing a Republican scandal.

Oh, those awful, awful “secret recordings”!

Why Don’t We Just Go Ahead and Nuke Those Vicious Communist Bastards?

Posted on | April 11, 2013 | 49 Comments

When you write headlines like that, you don’t expect any offers of “senior fellowships” at leading think tanks or book offers from prestigious New York publishers, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a valid policy proposal. I woke up this morning and checked the Drudge headlines:

 
NKOREA: 'Powerful striking means' on standby...
WATCHCON 2: Missile spotted in strike position...
US intelligence reveals launch zone...

 

As a Neutral Objective Journalist, I was able to write a brief news summary of this story without sharing my personal opinion of the Commie dictatorship in Pyongyang, but speaking as a God-Fearing Red-Blooded American, there can be no doubt. If it were up to me, North Korea would be reduced to radioactive vapor and smoldering cinders, and if you disagree with that policy, I question your patriotism.

Of course, nuking Pyongyang to Kingdom Come would be just the start of The McCain Doctrine — if those Reds in Havana don’t take the hint, I say we send a couple of carrier task forces and a divison or two of Marines to finish the job that should have been finished in April 1961.

And once we’re done killing all the foreign communists, then we’ll take care of Marxist university professors . . . .

UPDATE: A valid criticism:

Dog Bites Man; Man Rapes Girl: Journalism and Other Crimes

Posted on | April 11, 2013 | 21 Comments

Just a couple of innocent victims of homophobic bigotry?

There is a basic rule of journalism — a rule that has nothing to do with politics whatsoever — that if a dog bites a man, that’s not news. News is when a man bites a dog. That is to say, newsworthy events are by definition unusual.

Some crimes capture widespread attention from the media and other crimes don’t, and this is not because editors have passed judgment that one crime victim is less deserving of sympathy than another, or that one perpetrator is more worthy of condemnation than another.

Usually, at least.

For example, I’ve never quite understood (and there was a lot of questioning among media-watchers at the time) why Matthew Shepard’s death became a nationwide cause célèbre, with nationally televised vigils and so forth. As murders go, Shepard’s murder wasn’t particularly unusual: Privileged college kid goes to a local pub, meets up with a couple of local two-bit hoodlums who decide to rip him off and, instead, the rip-off escalates into murder.

Nasty crimes like that are unfortunately not man-bites-dog news and, except for the fact that Shepard was gay, his death might never have made headlines outside of Wyoming. But of course, Shepard was gay, and so his death became a symbol of America’s Rampant Homophobia and — if you didn’t pay much attention to the details — you might have thought Shepard’s killers were right-wing fundamentalist Christians, rather than a couple of small-town petty criminals, both of whom had prior records for minor offenses including burglary and marijuana possession.

“True crime” has always been one of my favorite genres of literature. When I was in high school, one of the popular paperbacks was Vincent Bugliosi’s Helter Skelter. When I was a freshman in college, our reading list included Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. And the first book I ever read by Hunter S. Thompson was Hell’s Angels.

So I’m sort of an amateur authority on this kind of writing, to say nothing of my own adolescent experience hanging out with hoodlums, dealing dope and being in the vicinity of other criminal behavior of a type usually dismissed as “juvenile delinquency.”

The problem with such a dismissive attitude, however, is that juvenile delinquency is for too many youth the apprenticeship to a life of crime, and all three of the true-crime classics I cite — Helter Skelter, In Cold Blood and Hell’s Angels — focus on petty criminals who kept at it until they committed atrocities that became national news.

Charles Manson had been in and out of custody since he was a teenager until he was turned loose amid the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco and became a hippie guru whose followers eventually committed the Tate-LaBianca murders. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock both had lengthy criminal records before they met in prison and hatched the scheme that became the murder of the Clutter family in Kansas. And the Hell’s Angels were just one of several California-based motorcycle gangs until the 1964 Labor Day weekend in Monterey when they gang-raped two teenage girls.

Some crimes just lend themselves to sensational coverage, and others don’t. The question of political correctness in the selection of Big Headline Crimes nowadays is something that interests me and a lot of other people who believe that too many in the media nowadays are shaping coverage of news events in order to serve some kind of crusading do-gooder “make a difference” agenda.

Damn these wannabe humanitarians and philanthropists. If you want to work at the Ford Foundation or some other kind of charity, do it. If you want to change the world, run for Congress or join the Peace Corps. But stop bringing your missionary zeal into journalism, turning your pet “social justice” causes into crusades, and then trying to bully everybody else into supporting your cause.

So . . . rape.

Now, there is a basic rule of true-crime journalism: Crimes stories are not about victims, they’re about criminals.

Charles Manson is the protagonist of Helter Skelter. It’s not a story about Wojciech Frykowski, OK? Likewise, In Cold Blood is not “The Herb Clutter Story,” and we don’t even know the names of the two girls whose 1964 gang-rape by the Hell’s Angels turned into a magazine assignment for Hunter S. Thompson and eventually became his first book.

Rape stories are about rapists. The victim is usually never even named, unless she is also murdered, and rape-murders are actually common enough that you can’t even get a magazine assignment to cover a story like that unless the perpetrator turns out to be a psycho serial killer.

OK, so what if the rape-murder victim is a 13-year-old boy? That’s kind of a rare crime, and if the victim suffocated — bound and gagged — during an hours-long torture ordeal in which he was repeatedly sodomized, you might think a crime like that would be considered newsworthy.

But most people have never heard of Jesse Dirkhising, and there are those of us who suspect that maybe Jesse Dirkising is nearly unknown for pretty much the same reason that Matthew Shepard became famous: There’s an agenda.

Never mind whether it’s a good agenda or a bad agenda, it’s an agenda, and everybody knows what it is.

The point, from my perspective, is that news coverage is being influenced by a sort of consensus opinion among the influential elite of the journalism industry that some crime victims are more equal than others.

I don’t raise this topic randomly today, but because I’ve been called a “homophobic bigot” by a liberal blogger after I wrote about a case where a gay couple were accused of raping their adopted boys.

This might be a fair accusation if I’d never written about — to cite some examples — the rape and murder of Donna Willing, or the University of Massachusetts gang-rape, or the gang-rape of an 11-year-old girl in Texas, or the rape of an 8-year-old girl in Fairfax County,  Virginia, or the rape-gangs in England, or the 10-year-old girl recently kidnapped and raped in Northridge, California. These are just a few examples of heterosexual crimes I’ve occasionally written about, so I certainly don’t need any lectures from liberal bloggers about how common such crimes are.

No one could fairly accuse me of ignoring or minimizing heterosexual crime, including the case of Elizabeth Leigh Garner, the former Tennessee Titans cheerleader who tried to molest a 12-year-old boy — allegedly, I hasten to add, because Ms. Garner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The same is true of George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury, Connecticut. For all I know, this couple may be the innocent victims of a homophobic witch-hunt, but nonetheless they are accused of raping boys as young as 6.

Look, if you want to call me names and deliver lectures about what an awful person I am in order to demonstrate (by the obverse, as it were) what a wonderful person you are for denouncing me as a “bigot,” OK. That’s your hustle, and if you’ve got a bunch of readers too stupid to see it as the hustle it is — “Admire me! I hate homophobes!” — then I congratulate you on your good fortune. A sucker is born every minute and, in 18 years, they can vote Democrat, too.

All the speculation and theory and research about this subject, as to whether homosexuals or heterosexuals are more likely to commit crimes against children, is immaterial to the news value of this crime in Connecticut, and if you want to see me get really angry about something, just try telling me I don’t know what is or is not newsworthy.

“They took turns raping me over and over”? If you don’t think that’s news, you need to find another line of work.

Senate Slouching Toward Compromise

Posted on | April 11, 2013 | 18 Comments

is there anything more disgusting than a Republican senator in bipartisan compromise mode? Bloomberg’s anti-gun group starts running ads in Pennsylvania and Pat Toomey folds like a cheap suit. Say the magic words: Bipartisan compromise!

Senators struck a bipartisan deal Wednesday to expand background checks in gun transactions, inflaming the National Rifle Association while drawing support from a growing number of lawmakers. The proposal, drafted by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), calls for an incremental expansion of NICS background checks for sales at gun shows and over the Internet.

I could think of another magic word, denoting a person who performs fellatio, that would describe Pat Toomey. I mean, we were on the verge of winning this thing — that is to say, the endless anti-gun drumbeat of media noise was becoming tiresome and people were losing interest — and suddenly, because of some TV ads, Toomey crumples. Meanwhile, more bipartisan compromise news:

A bipartisan group of senators has largely agreed on a broad immigration bill that would require tough border measures to be in place before illegal immigrants could take the first steps to become American citizens.

Persons performing fellatio!

And did I mention that a bunch of these Republican fellatio performers had dinner at the White House last night?

Please, somebody, tell me again how important it is to help elect Republicans to the Senate. Because I’m kind of having trouble right now seeing any point in it at all.
