More “Republican outrage” discovered
Mark Steyn on the Corner has just received from one of his readers further evidence of “Republican outrage.”
Media Bubble, Oct. 8 — John McCain’s bid for the Oval Office suffered another stunning blow yesterday when the Arizona senator referred to Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, as “my opponent.” The campaign-shattering remark came during a vicious, Hitlerian speech before an audience of drooling right-wing drones in one of those states in the middle, possibly rectangular.
“I believe that we should do things one way,” McSame sneered, his shrunken, twisted body and hideous visage producing overwhelming revulsion in all sane people who beheld him. “But my opponent feels we should do things a different way.”
Steyn says “Jim Treacher notes he posted the above some days before the excitable Frank Rich started going on about “Weimar-like rage” and Paul Krugman warned of the Republicans’ “insane rage” and the Head of Obstetrics over at The Atlantic Monthly took his head out of Governor Palin’s birth canal long enough to apply his forensic skills to “the Hannity-Limbaugh-Steyn*-O’Reilly base” “stoking” and “fomenting” the rage in order to bring on the assassination of Obama.”
“Hard to satirize the lovestruck Obamaboppers of the media, but certainly pre-emptive parody is a rare gift.”
McCain demanded action in 2006 from Fannie & Freddie
Human Events reports that In May 2006, John McCain and ninteen other senators sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Senator Richard Shelby, Chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, demanding regulatory action on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The letter, signed by ninteen other senators, said that it was “…vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac]…operate in a safe and sound manner, [and]..More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event that either…should fail”
Senator Barack Obama did not sign the letter. Nor did any other Democrat sign the letter.
Republican Rage? What do you call this?
As the mainstream media, who are clearly in bed with Obama, harangue their readers with how deranged Republicans have become, they miserably fail to point out the viciousness of the left-wing liberals towards McCain and Palin. Michele Malkin shows us just how sick some of these people are.
The Magic of the Great Obama
The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel writes about the magic of the Great Obama, the worlds’s most gifted political magician. Here are just a few of the marvels and illusions Mr. Obama will perform. The entire performance can be found here.
“To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don’t pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he “cut” zero? Abracadabra! It’s called a “refundable tax credit.”
“For his next trick, the Great Obama will jumpstart the economy, and he’ll do it by raising taxes on the very businesses that are today adrift in a financial tsunami! That will include all those among the top 1% of taxpayers who are in fact small-business owners, and the nation’s biggest employers who currently pay some of the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world.”
“Mr. Obama will now demonstrate how he gives Americans the “choice” of a “voluntary” government health plan, designed in such a way as to crowd out the private market and eliminate all other choice! Don’t worry people: You won’t have to join, until you do.”
“Moving along to a little ventriloquism. Study his mouth carefully, folks: It looks like he’s saying “I’ll stop the special interests,” when in fact the words coming out are “Welcome to Washington, friends!” Wind and solar companies, ethanol makers, tort lawyers, unions, community organizers — all are welcome to feed at the public trough and to request special favors. From now on “special interests” will only refer to universally despised, if utterly crucial, economic players. Say, oil companies. Hocus Pocus!”
