Retired General Norwood gathers some Tea Partiers in Florida to protest CBS 10, demanding the media do their jobs and investigate the Benghazi attack:

Barack Obama had better hope he loses next Tuesday. You can’t sit behind the Resolute Desk with this much albatross hanging from your neck.

Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. Hanging It Up?

Posted on | October 30, 2012 | 5 Comments

The latest Ladd Ehlinger continues to delight:

It’s with sadness that I read his retirement post there. His edgy work put a great deal of zip into the often boring political discourse, while keeping it rational. Unfortunately, it sounds like the effort to make things boring and predictable has filtered out true creative genius. This is a shame. Ladd has probably forgotten more about the craft of making a movie than I know.

Update: Instalanche, via Ed Driscoll! Thank you, sir.

Raaaaacist, Sexist Republican Cuts Ad For Female Minority Candidate In Utah

Posted on | October 30, 2012 | 5 Comments

by Smitty

You can tell the depth and vigor of a candidate’s commitment to Thought Crime by their willingness to compensate for their perfidy:

See how a candidate papers over his misogyny and xenophobia with kind words? Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears. Listen to what Uncle Dave Axelrod says: Republicans hate all non-rich, white, suburban people. All this talk of balanced budgets is just thinly-veiled raaaaacism. Just keep calm, carry on smartly, and stay on the plantation.

Mark October 30 on Your Calendar: Democrat Panic Hits Pandemic Stage

Posted on | October 30, 2012 | 48 Comments

COLUMBUS, Ohio
This will be seen in retrospect as the day liberals began to realize that Obama was going to lose the election, the day The Great Wall of Denial (erected by Nate Silver and the Democrat Graveyard Whistling Choir) proved itself too weak to withstand an encounter with reality.

Yesterday, Jim Messina called the Romney super-PAC’s ad buy in Pennsylvania “desperate.”

Today? Yeah, Obama’s buying ads in Pennsylvania.

Does this mean Romney is going to win Pennsylvania? No, but it does mean that it’s close enough that Team Obama couldn’t afford to let Romney air ads unopposed in Pennsylvania. And this news, coming just four days after it was reported that Team Obama is buying ads in Minnesota, is the best indication that Democrat insiders know that the president’s re-election is seriously endangered.

Liberals may be stupid, but they’re not so stupid they can’t understand what John Nolte’s headline means:

GALLUP: Romney Up 52-45% Among Early Voters

Dude. If Romney’s leading by SEVEN FREAKING POINTS in the early vote — and also leading by six points among voters who tell Gallup they plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6 — there is no way that Nate Silver can continue gazing at his Magic Forecasting Model™ and seeing a 72.9% chance of Obama being re-elected. He may continue telling that to his readers, but Nate cannot actually believe that.

 

UPDATE: Who’s been telling you about the “War on Coal“? Yeah, and here’s the Romney ad in Pennsylvania:

Here’s Mark Halperin on MSNBC, grudgingly admitting what the situation in Pennsylvania really means:

If Obama was winning, he could afford to ignore the Romney play in Minnesota and Pennsylvania. But . . . Obama isn’t winning.
