VIDEO- Rep. Devin Nunes: "Say no to socialism, totalitarianism"

By GottaLaff

Democrats "will finally lay the cornerstone of their Socialist utopia on the backs of the American people." Really?

One can only hope...



The more support President Obama and Democratic policies get, the loonier the Rushpublics get:

"For most of the 20th century people fled the ghosts of communist dictators. And now you are bringing the ghosts back into this chamber."

Now they believe in ghosts. Commie ones!

And it goes without saying that the big bad Muslim ACORN Census Marxist Terrorist is out to get them.

Wow.

AUDIO: Michele Bachmann accuses Rep. Keith Ellison of cavorting with scary "flying Imams."

By GottaLaff



Here is audio, courtesy of TPM, of this:

Bachmann's line about the imams can be found at the 4:30 mark in this YouTube, which also contains a wider-ranging discussion of such issues as President Obama apologizing for America, and the fierce threat of the loss of American sovereignty.

"The imams were actually attending Congressman Keith Ellison's victory celebration, when he won as a member of Congress," said Bachmann.

For the record, the imams were in fact attending a conference that was held on November 17-19, 2006. Keith Ellison's victory party was presumably held on November 7, 2006, the night of the 2006 mid-term elections that brought both himself and Bachmann to Congress.

Between Maniacal Michele and the Tea Tantrumers, including paranoid Rushpublics like these, we have no reason to worry about 2010. We do, however, need to be concerned about the mental stability of many of our fellow citizens.

VIDEO: Wild Bill Hickock, Mandela, King, Gandhi... Blagojevich?

Certifiable:

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, "on the first leg of his media blitz timed to the start of his impeachment trial, in an NBC interview broadcast on The Today Show Sunday compared himself to human rights heros Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi," the Chicago Sun Times reports.

So who is he? Mandela, King, Gandhi, or Wild Bill Hickock?

VIDEO: Obama-citizenship conspiracy mongers wonder why media won't cover them

By GottaLaff

Oy. As Jerry Seinfeld would say, "Who a-a-are these people?"

A small but determined band of conservative protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court Friday morning to pray the justices would invalidate Barack Obama's election.

The court was deciding whether it would hear oral arguments in Donofrio v. Wells, which argues that Obama's placement on the New Jersey presidential election ballot was invalid because he is not a natural born citizen. The justices are expected to dismiss the case.

Discussions with several of the 18 demonstrators who gathered despite freezing temperatures revealed disjointed, confusing and increasingly conspiratorial reasons for their presence. Several alleged varying degrees of a cover-up to hide the circumstances surrounding Obama's birth; none were willing to accept the much simpler explanation that Obama was in fact a natural-born citizen eligible to be president. [...]

To be clear, the questions of Obama's birth have been roundly and convincingly debunked.

The citizenship questioners organized on fringe Web sites and through YouTube videos. Several questioned why the mainstream media wasn't covering their conspiracy-mongering.

Pete Anderson, a retiree from Springfield, VA, spun a theory involving "staged backpack nukes already in this country" that were somehow involved in preventing the media from reporting on Obama's citizenship.

"There is a theory -- as crazy as it may seem -- that we are now in a state of siege," Anderson said.

It was tough to follow Anderson's logic, and even fellow demonstrators thought it was too far out there.

"I didn't bring my tinfoil hat," Bredow ribbed, cutting into our interview.

The two demonstrators went on to bicker between themselves over the true reasons for the media's silence.

I've posted about this previously. Every single legal mind on the Tee Vee Machine has literally bet anything from their reputations to their "vast wealth" (said kiddingly by Jeff Toobin) that the Supremes will throw this time-wasting excuse for a case out on Monday.

Ted Stevens: "I've not been convicted yet"

By GottaLaff

As Ellen hinted in an IM to me just now, we'd all like to live in Alaska where they determine their own guilt or innocence, no matter what the legal decisions are (IWRC* Palin's denial that she, too, was in the clear, for example):

Sen. Ted Stevens says he is not a convicted felon, at least until the appeal process is over.

"I've not been convicted yet," the Alaska Republican insisted Thursday in a meeting with the editorial board of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. "There's not a black mark by my name yet, until the appeal is over and I am finally convicted, if that happens. If that happens, of course I'll do what's right for Alaska and for the Senate ... I don't anticipate it happening, and until it happens I do not have a black mark."

A federal court jury on Monday convicted Stevens on seven counts of lying on Senate disclosure forms to conceal more than $250,000 in gifts and renovations to his home from VECO Corp. founder Bill Allen.

Not guilty by reason of losing all touch with reality.

VIDEO: Chris Matthews v. Michele Bachmann

By GottaLaff

Bachman seems unable to articulate a coherent thought beyond "Obama's leftist, liberal, anti-American mentors." She even claims that Rezko is a "leftist, liberal, anti-American." Matthews points out that Rezko is a businessman, not a liberal. Bachman didn't seem to understand the difference.

Wow. Even Tweety was a little freaked out by this whack job.
