Ok when I first checked out this story I was like DAMM, but in today’s really twisted world this is no surprise. There are a lot of sick, mentally ill bastards out there and they are all looking for attention.

This is a long debated issue; do you feed or ignore trolls?

I simply don’t get trolls, if someone comes to this blog and says something really dumb I put the comments front and center, but more importantly I don’t engage in a pissing contest. Trolls want to fight, they want attention. I allow any and all comments, to me why sensor, what is the point?
I would love to have more crazy idiot liberals come here and rant but that will never happen because any liberal that has been here know I don’t take them seriously.
Liberals or racists fucks posting crazy comments are more amusing to me than anything.

I swear, you just don’t know what these crazy rednecks will do next huh?

Ok here is the tease from Wizbang

Every now and then, after banning a particularly noxious troll, I find myself wondering what became of them. I hope that they’ve learned their lesson in civility, and proving to be valued members of some other online community. Or, they’re off being obnoxious on someone else’s site. Or they’ve fled to some site that is more in line with their ideology and maturity, and enjoying their new echo chamber.But then I read this story, and wondered if I might in some way bear some responsibility…

(AP) As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome signs at several states’ borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he meant business.When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy’s trailer down.

This week, Tavares, 27, was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading no contest to arson and admitting he set the blaze.

“I didn’t think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill anybody over an Internet fight,” said John G. Anderson, 59, who suffered smoke inhalation while trying to put out the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage to his trailer and computer equipment.

The feud started when Anderson, who runs a haunted house near Waco, joined a picture-sharing Web site and posted his artwork and political views. After he blocked some people from his page because of insults and foul language, they retaliated by making obscene digitally altered pictures of him, he said.

Anderson, who went by the screen name “Johnny Darkness,” traded barbs with Tavares, aka “PyroDice.”

Investigators say Tavares boiled over when Anderson called him a nerd and posted a digitally altered photo making Tavares look like a skinny boy in high-water pants, holding a gun and a laptop under a “Revenge of the Nerds” sign.

Tavares obtained Anderson’s real name and hometown from Anderson’s Web page about his Museum of Horrors Haunted House.

Tavares took leave from his post as a weapons systems operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center in Dahlgren, Va., and started driving. Investigators say he told them he planned to point a shotgun at Anderson and shoot his computer.

Instead, when he got to Elm Mott — after posting one last photo of a “Welcome to Texas” sign — Tavares threw a piece of gasoline-soaked plastic foam into the back of Anderson’s mobile home and lit a flare, authorities say.

Tavares’ attorney, Susan Kelly Johnston, said his trip to the Waco area was a last-minute decision during a cross-country trip to visit his parents in Arizona. She said he never intended to hurt Anderson and did not think he was in the trailer when he set the fire.

James Pack, an investigator with the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office, caught up with Tavares after talking to people in several states and Spain who had been involved in the online feud. Tavares’ cell phone records showed he was in the Waco area at the time of the fire, Pack said.

Tavares told investigators that Anderson had spread computer viruses and insulted his online friends for too long, Pack said.

“He lost everything — all over an Internet squabble,” the investigator said.

Tavares was discharged last year from the Navy, where he earned several medals — including the pistol expert and rifle expert medals — in his nine-year career, said Navy spokesman Mike McLellan.

Tavares would not let the feud go even at his sentencing. According to Pack, Tavares took cell-phone photos of Anderson in the courtroom while the judge was hearing another case. Authorities ordered the photos erased.

Anderson, an ex-Marine who served in Vietnam, said he continues to be harassed online, has been startled by people knocking on his window late at night and found bullet holes in a door to his business.

He said he is convinced the harassment is related to the Internet feud and plans to spend $30,000 on more fencing topped with barbed wire.

“Before this happened, the rule was: Nobody messes with the haunted house guy,” Anderson said.

Blacks, at the urging of their so-called leadership, are often quick to become incited at the least provocation – real or perceived. At times, this has been well-documented to lead to riot and mayhem.Now, if there were ever a justifiable time to tear down the personified fences of racial injustice and storm the castles of those who, with forethought and malicious genocidal intent, propagate and perpetuate an injustice so sinister as to be without equal, today should be the day for all blacks to rally. It is a day that so-called black leadership should storm the halls of Congress and demand an end to this evil. But they are silent.What am I talking about? I’m talking about the furor that now rages over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick’s alleged involvement in dog fighting and the brutal killing and the double standard of same.

In the past seven days, approximately 10,500 unborn, defenseless black children have been murdered by abortionists. Abortionists supported by the “prince” who would be king – Barack Hussein Obama – the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond and the NAACP, and Mark Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League.

Jeanine Pirro, Republican politician, lawyer and prosecutor from New York, appearing on “Hannity & Colmes” Friday said, “These are innocents. … These dogs are bred in silence and raised to tear one another apart. … These dogs cannot lie; the facts speak for themselves.” I submit that children are bred to be loved and nurtured, not sucked out of wombs or burned to death in them, and those facts do not lie either.

Where is the outrage, as over 40,000 black children a month are ripped apart in what should be their most sacred sanctuary? It has been said that Vick’s image will be alongside “vicious, vile images” of dog fighting. Where is the outrage over the image of Margaret Sanger, the patron saint of genocide who, out of contempt for the poor, the black poor specifically, advocated the murder of innocent black children under the guise of a woman’s right to choose?

How many black families will have their lives affected positively or negatively by the alleged barbarous indulgences of Vick? Juxtapose that question by asking how many black scientists, doctors, teachers, lawyers, politicians, diplomats, world leaders, business persons, inventors, ad nauseum have been murdered?

Pirro made a name for herself prosecuting domestic abuse and violence-against-women cases. Is not inserting the equivalent of vacuum hoses into women and ripping apart their unborn children violence against same?

The priorities of America are wrong. The nation and animal-rights groups are beside themselves because a few dogs have been mistreated and destroyed, yet these same people and activist groups support and advocate the slaughter of unborn children. And even worse, if possible, they advocate the breeding of innocent human life for scientific experiments, vis-à-vis embryonic stem cell research.

Liberal blacks and whites loudly applaud those who are quick to blame conservatives and pursue race-based agitprop. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have been invigorated by the allegations against Vick, all the way to their cash registers. Media outlets are beating paths to their doors for comments and appearances. But nowhere is it mentioned that from July 1998 through December 2000, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats and “companion animals.” They stored the dead animals in a walk-in freezer, while contracting with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them. In 2005 alone, they murdered 90.7 percent of the animals they received, while adopting out a paltry 6.8 percent.

Yet these and others are the ones now castigating Vick. Perhaps we should run commercials showing pictures of the fragmented baby parts, tossed in closets, that Obama supported as an Illinois legislator beside one of the dead dogs allegedly belonging to Vick. Maybe we should show the faces of women who have had their internal organs irreparably injured by abortionists alongside said dogs. Or perhaps we should show the children who were aborted alive and living today alongside one of Vick’s dogs – children, I might add, that Obama not only refused to support, but fought against by opposing legislation to protect same while an Illinois legislator.

If ever there were a reason and a time for blacks to rally, that time is now. Instead, their cacophony of silence is deafening. I say, to hell with the dogs until people count.

The Erebusic evil of child genocide, black child genocide specifically, must be stopped. And for those Magdalenian liberals who are as unfamiliar with the name Erebus as they are Greek Mythology, Gene Wolf or Anne Rice – abortion is indeed the very personification of the darkness and hell that shadows our society.

Man I’ve been all over the net and did not see this post or anything like this article until I went to a black Moderate/Conservative, imagine that.
Anywho, now don’t get me wrong, Michael Vick is guilty as hell and should go to jail as I have already stated, but this dude is right. There is always far more outrage at missing or dead white kids and dogs than black kids. But hey, let’s not get in the way of political expediency for liberal Democrats.

Negro liberal Democrats : (Barack Hussein Obama – the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond and the NAACP, and Mark Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League) are on leashes themselves courtesy of the Democratic Party so they can’t say shit. It’s about getting those votes and money from the black community, the fact that 10,500 unborn, defenseless black children have been murdered by abortionists is irrelevant.

Just wanna make sure….is the picture large enough for you folks to get a good look at this sick fuck?

(Link) MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - An admitted pedophile who took pictures of little girls in Western Washington and posted them online is getting a taste of his own medicine.

KING 5 aired a series of reports on Jack McClellan when he lived in Arlington. Later, he moved to Southern California saying he was tired of the media pressure. But the scrutiny has followed him there.

The day our report aired, McClellan packed up and moved to Southern California where he got right back to work, visiting family events around Los Angeles and blogging them on his Web site.

After attending an event in Santa Monica last week, police there did something law enforcement here would not – they posted his picture online telling parents to call them if they see him watching children.

“They are there to serve and protect, and that’s exactly what they’re doing: They’re protecting these citizens,” said Ron Tebo, who lives in New York and has launched a Web site in McClellan’s name saying the admitted pedophile is a ticking time bomb.

Tebo has also posted McClellan’s picture.

“It’s about time that we move forward now and protect children,” he said.

Just this weekend, the New York Times published a front page story on McClellan. He told the paper that parents are beginning to recognize him and he fears for his safety.

McClellan has also publicly stated that he may file suit against the various groups that have posted his picture online.

Ron Tebo says he’s not the least bit scared.

Legal scholars and law enforcement agencies all say Jack McClellan has done nothing illegal and that’s why, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, they never issued his picture.

From ABC News 

Fed up with deadly drive-by shootings, incessant drug dealing and graffiti, cities nationwide are trying a different tactic to combat gangs: They’re suing them.Fort Worth and San Francisco are among the latest to file lawsuits against gang members, asking courts for injunctions barring them from hanging out together on street corners, in cars or anywhere else in certain areas.

The injunctions are aimed at disrupting gang activity before it can escalate. They also give police legal reasons to stop and question gang members, who often are found with drugs or weapons, authorities said. In some cases, they don’t allow gang members to even talk to people passing in cars or to carry spray paint.

“It is another tool,” said Kevin Rousseau, a Tarrant County assistant prosecutor in Fort Worth, which recently filed its first civil injunction against a gang. “This is more of a proactive approach.”

But critics say such lawsuits go too far, limiting otherwise lawful activities and unfairly targeting minority youth.

I’m confused; did we run out of jail space? How do you file a lawsuit against a gang?
So I guess the old tried and true tactic of a policemen approaching a group of thugs and saying “Get your ass away from here or we will throw your ass in jail” is obsolete? (another typo, thanks!)

Ann Coulter. Michelle Malkin. Bill O’Reilly. The right-wing attack dogs have thrown everything they’ve got at this campaign. But yesterday, the right-wing attack went to a whole new level.The Republican Party itself just emailed their entire national membership to lash out at John Edwards for daring to stand up and speak the truth about Bush’s failed strategy in Iraq.

Well, the Republican Party may not like it, but fighting for real change is what this campaign is about—and they will never silence us.

But changing America means we’ve all got to stand up, right now, and fight back against these right-wing attacks. John’s going to keep on telling the truth about Iraq and all the big issues that face this country. But it can’t be John alone—we’ve all got to do our part.

The truth is that your contribution, your support, will not only help us fight back against these right-wing attacks—it will also help cover the cost of the town halls, phone lines, TV ads, and all the stuff that helps us get John Edwards’ message of change out to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and all the key primary states nationwide.

Please consider giving $50, or whatever you can, today to help us fight back and win in 2008.

Of course, the right-wing hate machine will not stop any time soon. We can already hear the steam coming out of Bill O’Reilly’s ears and the venom out of Ann Coulter’s mouth. And we all know how the radical right works—attack, distract, hate, and smear. Well, this campaign will never stop fighting against those insiders.

The truth is that John Edwards is the right-wingers’ worst nightmare: the most progressive candidate in the race—the one with the bold and transformational ideas—who also has the best chance of going all the way to the White House. So they’ll say anything—and spend anything—to try and stop him.

We can’t match the big corporate contributions that keep the right-wing insider machine going.

But we don’t have to.

We can’t match the fear and anger that fuel their attacks.

But we don’t want to.

This campaign is fueled by you—by your small contributions that go so very far—and by the unshakable belief we all share in the power of regular people to bring about transformational change.

So today, right now, give what you can to help us fight back against the Republican smear machine, and keep telling the unvarnished truth about Iraq and every other deceit Bush and his cronies would love to stay buried.

Mr. John Edwards
To John Edwards for President
410 Market Street
Suite 400
Chapel Hill, NC 27516Dear John,

Welcome to Kentucky! Before you hit the ground, I thought it would be helpful for to you to better understand an issue important to Appalachia.

The coal industry is the centerpiece of eastern Kentucky’s economy. In fact, the Commonwealth has over 17,000 coal miners and 91 percent of our electricity comes from coal. I noticed that you were recently praised by the liberal advocacy group MoveON.org for your opposition to Kentucky coal, and I’m sure the folks in Whitesburg and Prestonsburg would be interested to hear about your plans to “take on” the coal industry.

During your “Poverty Tour” stop in our state, I hope you will get the chance to spend some time with Steve Beshear, who wants to become Kentucky’s top Pit Boss. I think you will find that you have a lot in common. Not only is Mr. Beshear a millionaire masquerading as a friend of working families, but he also shares your affinity for weakening our coal economy and raising taxes for working Kentuckians. You may already know Mr. Beshear since he donated to both your campaigns for United States Senate and President.

Finally, we attempted to deliver a welcoming gift upon your arrival to Kentucky, which the Kentucky Democrat Party declined. This 27-piece grooming set is intended to make you feel more at home here in our state, considering you might have some trouble finding a $400 haircut while you’re in town.
Unfortunately, this small token still won’t go very far in helping you relate better to those in need once you leave Kentucky and return to your $4.2 million mansion this evening. Whether you’re charging college students $55,000 to hear a speech on poverty or earning $500,000 at your part-time hedge fund job, it’s clear that you’re simply out of touch with those who need the most assistance in our country.

Nevertheless, we did go ahead and ship the grooming set to your campaign headquarters, just in case you decide to come back into town one day and visit your buddy Steve Beshear.

Best Regards,
Steve Robertson
Republican Party Chairman

P.S. On the bright side, at least your grooming expenses are less than the $1,300 annual casino tax Steve Beshear plans to place on each and every Kentucky family.
Paid for by The Republican Party of Kentucky, Catherine D. Bell Treasurer

Maybe I’m a bit biased, but I don’t see why the Edwards campaign is having a cow. Attacks, what attacks?
Also look at how generous the Republicans in Kentucky were, they sent dude a gift!
in addition they did not try to use the letter to scam members for donations or make people pay for bogus Pecan Pie recipes.

This is funny… I’m glad I found this picture because I can see a bunch of idiot liberal hippie types dressing up their kids like this.
They don’t care that dude was a murdering socialist thug, the point is “he’s against the man!”

(Editor’s Note: In the first of a two-part interview, Cybercast News Service speaks to Humberto Fontova, author of the new book, “Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him.”)

(CNSNews.com) - Che Guevara, who aided Fidel Castro in his rise to power in Cuba in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is today an icon of liberal culture worldwide. His picture and image adorn countless products, from posters to t-shirts to CD cases to bikinis.

Robert Redford made a 2004 movie about Guevara, “The Motorcycle Diaries,” which won media praise and an Academy Award. Two more Guevara movies are due for release in 2008.

Yet the liberal-left and Hollywood are perpetuating myths, if not outright lies, about Guevara, according to author Humberto Fontova in his book, “Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him.”

Fontova discussed with Cybercast News Service his new book and what he describes as the real Guevara - the man who directly helped Castro put into place a communist regime responsible for at least 102,000 deaths and which has cycled 500,000 people through its gulag.

From Sister Toldjah:  “I suspect that Che fans (of which there are many) know the depth of Che’s depravity already. Just like they know how ruthless Fidel Castro is, and any number of other thugs whose faces they, oddly, use as symbols of freedom - especially when marching against the ‘oppressive’ US under the “reign” of “King” George W. Bush.

Update: LGF has background about the arresting officer. Allah has more legal analysis based on the complaint. And Christopher Hitchens weighs in:

Before me is a recent report that a student at Pace University in New York City has been arrested for a hate crime in consequence of an alleged dumping of the Quran. Nothing repels me more than the burning or desecration of books, and if, for example, this was a volume from a public or university library, I would hope that its mistreatment would constitute a misdemeanor at the very least. But if I choose to spit on a copy of the writings of Ayn Rand or Karl Marx or James Joyce, that is entirely my business. When I check into a hotel room and send my free and unsolicited copy of the Gideon Bible or the Book of Mormon spinning out of the window, I infringe no law, except perhaps the one concerning litter. Why do we not make this distinction in the case of the Quran? We do so simply out of fear, and because the fanatical believers in that particular holy book have proved time and again that they mean business when it comes to intimidation. Surely that should be to their discredit rather than their credit. Should not the “moderate” imams of On Faith have been asked in direct terms whether they are, or are not, negotiating with a gun on the table?
The Pace University incident becomes even more ludicrous and sinister when it is recalled that Islamists are the current leaders in the global book-burning competition.

Item number one: Fortunately, I missed last week’s episode of the Fox network show, “So, You Think You Can Dance?” If I had seen it, I might have damaged my TV set. According to Newsbusters, the show featured a dance judge wearing Marine Dress Blues with upside-down Marine emblems on the sleeves and anti-war dances by the contestants. Video at Weblogging. The moonbat judge had absolutely no idea–no, none at all–that wearing Marine insignias upside-down would offend anyone. TV Guide:

Emmy-nominated choreographer Mia Michaels thought she was going to have a wonderful day. She woke up this morning to find hundreds of messages posted on her website. “And I thought, wow, I must’ve been a really good judge last night,” says Michaels. But then she opened the messages and was shocked by their tone and content. “It was hate mail,” she says simply. “Saying things like, ‘You should be ashamed of yourself.’ It was really intense. It was awful.”

The writers were responding to a jacket worn by Michaels on Wednesday’s show. She had no idea that anyone would be offended by it, she says. She simply thought she was being fashionable by wearing a navy blue military jacket that happened to have a Marine emblem, upside down, on the sleeves. After hearing the feedback, Michaels tried to make amends on the air. “I understand why people were upset and I respect that,” she says. “That symbol is sacred to the Marines, it’s what they earned. The problem needed to be addressed and I’m glad we addressed it. That’s why I made a public apology.”

But the problem didn’t stop with her. Adding to the perfect storm of controversy on Wednesday night’s show was Dance’s other Emmy-nominated choreographer, Wade Robson. He had fashioned the 10 identical solo dances around an antiwar theme. Set to the music of John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change,” the dancers wore peace symbols and printed slogans.

The poll is an ABC News/Washington Post poll…

…conducted by telephone July 18-21, 2007, among a random national sample of 1,125 adults. Additional interviews were conducted with an oversample of randomly selected African-Americans for a total of 210 black respondents.

The oversampling of Blacks would be to give it a more Liberal influence, since as a rule Blacks tend to vote Democrat and parrot DNC talking points. Conservative Blacks, of course, like former homosexuals, remain completely invisible to the MSM.

Anyway the poll found that 41% percent of those polled felt the Supreme Court is balanced, 31% felt it is too Conservative and 18% felt it is too Liberal.

Of course the MSM has been harping day and night about how horrible it is that the SCOTUS is too Conservative, so while ABC News admits a 3% margin of error, they never acknowledge a margin of stupidity, derived from those who rarely think for themselves, but simply regurgitate what they’ve been spoon fed by the Media.So with 41% thinking the SCOTUS is fair, how did the story go? The headline is “Three in 10 Call SCOTUS ‘Too Conservative’” showing where ABC’s bias obviously is. It’s not until the third paragraph that they offhandedly mention the 41% that felt the SCOTUS is fair.

Can they be any more transparent?

Now Snoop is going to say the politically incorrect thing that white right-wing bloggers can’t say…. ready….if you are easily offended click away…..here it goes…..

If you were to call the average Negro household and ask…or ax, is the Supreme Court too “liberal” or “Conservative” what answer are you gonna get, “shit I don’t know! Is, Judge Mathis on the Supreme Court? I like that Judge Mathis”

Y’all are just horrified, I can see the headline on Drudge, “Snoop says Negros don’t know the Supreme Court even exists!”

Oh stop your whining people you people especially you white people know I’m right.

Even you liberals are laughing, but you will not hesitate to send Snoop a nasty gram admonishing me for my racist, and objectionable behavior.

Chapin on Ann Coulter and “the first gay president” 

“Given the former Senator’s recent behaviors and tendencies, I think that it’s time for our nation’s trendy politically correct journalists to issue an apology to Ann Coulter. Even if her choice of words was regrettable, there is no denying that John Edwards is a man that no boy would want to grow up to be.”I have said it before but we all owe Ann Coulter our thanks and support because without brave conservative figures like her, the general public would have no chance to roll back the parameters of political correctness. Coulter expands the marketplace of ideas and prevents cultural Marxism from continuing to establish the rules by which we speak and live.”

The American Civil Liberties Union sued Judge Jim Lamz of Slidell, La., earlier this month for refusing to take down a portrait of Jesus Christ above the words “To know peace, obey these laws” displayed in a courthouse lobby. The judge says he believes the picture is legal, and the mayor of the city — the mayor and the town are also named in the lawsuit — called the ACLU “America’s Taliban.”…

The town is represented in the suit by the Christian-inspired Alliance Defense Fund, which might be called the right-wing version of the ACLU.

“[The ACLU is] one of the worst attackers of religious speech in America,” Gary McCaleb, senior legal counsel for the ADF, told ABC News.

Defending itself against the mindless onslaught of “hurricane” ACLU, the city of Slidell will have to spend money it desperately needs to help the people of Slidell recover from hurricane Katrina. One must wonder if the ACLU chose Slidell for their latest assault of the Constitution and Christianity because Slidell is still trying to recover from Katrina.

All because the bigots in the ACLU want to abuse the court system to impose their own religious hatred on the rest of the nation.

Luckily, the applied standard for defamation when applied to major media outlets is “actual malice,” meaning that a plaintiff must show that a newspaper intentionally attempted to destroy the credibility and/or image of the public person they’re being accused of maligning. Meaning, of course, that when Cynthia McKinney finally files this suit against the Atlanta Journal Constitution for “making her look crazy” the action will probably be accompanied by a laugh track.

From Newsmax - Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

The polling is in, and Hillary made a big mistake in her sharp disagreement with Obama over whether the president should meet with leaders of rogue nations.According to the Rasmussen Poll, Democrats agree with Obama over Hillary by 55 percent-22 percent. Without a poll to pretest her comments, Hillary instinctively took the “insider” position that the president should only meet with such leaders after extensive probing by subordinates to assure that the meetings would be productive. But she was wrong.Democrats want the president to meet with leaders of such nations without preset conditions.

At the South Carolina Democratic presidential debate, Hillary and Obama clashed over Obama’s statement that he would meet with leaders of rogue nations like North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran if he were president. Hillary said that she would not do so and would not allow herself to be used for “propaganda purposes.”

All week, Hillary pounded out her message, enlisting former Secretary of State Madeline Albright and her possible future secretary of state, Dick Holbrooke, to speak up on behalf of her position. She blasted Obama as “naïve,” one of her few direct attacks on her opponent. For his party, Obama ridiculed her position as “Bush Cheney lite,” a comment that got under Hillary’s skin.

The exchange had little real significance during the two hour debate, but Hillary’s obsession with the issue all week has given it real importance. She made a big mistake in the debate and amplified it all week.

Why? Perhaps Hillary is not using polling the way Bill always did — to pretest and post-test all important issues. If she had, she would not have locked into the minority position among Democratic primary voters and would not have stayed with that view all week.

Maybe her campaign staff was caught flatfooted for once.

The fact is that this week’s debate was the first time the two Democrats have clashed seriously since the contest began early this year.

This round definitely goes to Obama.

Snoop is going to acknowledge that I was wrong about something, BUT….BUT

Ok until this article I thought that Mrs. Bill had the advantage on this issue because Obama’s answer was so dumb that reasonable intelligent folks would say, “damm we don’t want a crazy man in the White House.”

 However as is it pointed out in this article I did not consider that most Democrats are stupid, they agreed with Obama and in fact would endorse Obama making trips to visit to the most oxygen deprived evil idiot morons on the planet.

Now does this really hurt Mrs. Bill of course not, but I was kinda shocked at how the liberal media really circled the wagons around Obama, although HE HAS NO SHOT AT BEATING HER, this is all window dressing to give talk shows and egghead pundits something to talk about.

In fairness, by “us” he seems to be referring to the House Democratic leadership, not the left as a whole. For the left a good progress report is no problem at all; they’ll shrug it off, dismiss Petraeus as a Bush stooge who’s probably racist and secretly gay, and go right on pounding on about withdrawal. For the leadership, a good report is a headache: it might encourage the Blue Dogs to side with the GOP to continue the mission, thereby leaving Pelosi with a howling anti-war base and no way to placate them.

Obviously this dude does not have a copy of  “The Democrat Liars Guide: Spinning the Media Properly.”

Body Count For Animal “Rights” Group Reaches 14,479; Group Has Walk-In Freezer For Dead Puppies

WASHINGTON — While People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protests the National Football League today over Michael Vick’s dog-fighting indictment, the animal “rights” group is ignoring its own sordid puppy-killing operation, the Center for Consumer Freedom said today. Public records released by the State of Virginia show that PETA itself has killed 14,479 dogs and cats since 1998, including 90 percent of the animals it took in for “adoption” in 2005. And PETA is presently more than 3 months overdue to report its 2007 numbers.
“It’s astonishing but true,” said Center for Consumer Freedom Director of Research David Martosko. “PETA itself kills helpless, adoptable animals by the thousands out of sheer inconvenience. Why anyone continues to take this bunch of hypocrites seriously is beyond me.”

Documents relating to PETA’s massive animal-killing program can be found on the Internet at www.PETAkillsAnimals.com. In sworn testimony during the January 2007 animal-cruelty trial of two PETA employees, a PETA manager acknowledged that the organization has a walk-in freezer for the purpose of storing dead pets. She also acknowledged that PETA contracts with a Norfolk-area crematory service to dispose of the dead bodies, which measure over a ton each month.

Martosko continued: “PETA’s president acknowledges that her group could ‘become a no-kill shelter overnight.’ But that would mean the group could no longer afford to spend millions of dollars on cheap publicity stunts, to say nothing of harassing pet food companies, restaurants, and medical researchers.”

Another PETA employee faces grand larceny charges in southern Virginia, related to the alleged 2006 theft of a hunting dog and its radio-tracking collar. PETA has not yet indicated whether the dog in question was slated to be put to death.

In case you forgot…

With no apparent sense of irony, they chose the dumpster of a Piggly Wiggly supermarket to drop off the carcasses, wrapped in black plastic bags. Among them were a mother cat with her two very healthy kittens, and seven little puppies – dead by injection.

Nor did either of them appear to evince the slightest cognitive dissonance in acting as agents, and employees, of the very inaptly named “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” (PETA). For at least two months they had been slaughtering and dumping animals that they obtained under false pretenses from shelters: they assured the attendants they would find the adoptable animals ‘good homes.’

Andrew Benjamin Cook and Adria Joy Hinkle are charged in a North Carolina court with only 31 felony counts of animal cruelty, eight misdemeanor counts of the illegal disposal of dead animals, and a charge of criminal trespassing. Yet they are apparently responsible for the death of more than a hundred animals. This is ethical?

We must not allow ourselves to be so distracted by the sordid details of this case that we view it as an aberration. Instead, it is all too emblematic of the core “values” of the PETA cash and terror machine.

PETA Kills Animals — And It’s A Felony

Old PETA radical weirdness from the past 

(Link) Radical groups such as PETA have taken this “Fishing Hurts” campaign to ugly extremes. Anti-fishing activists in America and Europe have intimidated researchers, dispatched topless demonstrators dressed as menacing mermaids to upset children’s fishing programs, and thrown rocks at and sent scuba divers to scare fish away from angling waters. They’ve even tried to bully the Boy Scouts of America into dropping their traditional fishing merit badge.

“We seek to shift the ways animals are viewed, from being a resource to be exploited to that of the community of individuals that they are,” PETA’s Dawn Carr sanctimoniously explained a few years ago.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Bill Walsh, the groundbreaking football coach who won three Super Bowls and perfected the ingenious schemes that became known as the West Coast offense during a Hall of Fame career with the San Francisco 49ers, has died. He was 75.

Walsh died early Monday following a long battle with leukemia, according to Stanford University, where he served as coach and athletic director.

Walsh didn’t become an NFL head coach until 47, and he spent just 10 seasons on the San Francisco sideline. But he left an indelible mark on the United States’ most popular sport, building the once-woebegone 49ers into the most successful team of the 1980s with his innovative offensive strategies and teaching techniques.

The soft-spoken native Californian also produced a legion of coaching disciples that’s still growing today. Many of his former assistants went on to lead their own teams, handing down Walsh’s methods and schemes to dozens more coaches in a tree with innumerable branches.

Walsh went 102-63-1 with the 49ers, winning 10 of his 14 postseason games along with six division titles. He was named the NFL’s coach of the year in 1981 and 1984.

Few men did more to shape the look of football into the 21st century. His cerebral nature and often-brilliant stratagems earned him the nickname “The Genius” well before his election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.

Walsh twice served as the 49ers’ general manager, and George Seifert led San Francisco to two more Super Bowl titles after Walsh left the sideline. Walsh also coached Stanford during two terms over five seasons.

Even a short list of Walsh’s adherents is stunning. Seifert, Mike Holmgren, Dennis Green, Sam Wyche, Ray Rhodes and Bruce Coslet all became NFL head coaches after serving on Walsh’s San Francisco staffs, and Tony Dungy played for him. Most of his former assistants passed on Walsh’s structures and strategies to a new generation of coaches, including Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden, Brian Billick, Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Gary Kubiak, Steve Mariucci and Jeff Fisher.

Walsh created the Minority Coaching Fellowship program in 1987, helping minority coaches to get a foothold in a previously lily-white profession. Marvin Lewis and Tyrone Willingham are among the coaches who went through the program, later adopted as a league-wide initiative.

He also helped to establish the World League of American Football - what was NFL Europe - in 1994, taking the sport around the globe as a development ground for the NFL.

Walsh was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004 and underwent months of treatment and blood transfusions. He publicly disclosed his illness in November 2006, but appeared at a tribute for retired receiver Jerry Rice two weeks later.

While Walsh recuperated from a round of chemotherapy in late 2006, he received visits from former players and assistant coaches, as well as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Born William Ernest Walsh on Nov. 30, 1931 in Los Angeles, he was a self-described “average” end and a sometime boxer at San Jose State in 1952-53.

Walsh, whose family moved to the Bay Area when he was a teenager, married his college sweetheart, Geri Nardini, in 1954 and started his coaching career at Washington High School in Fremont, leading the football and swim teams.

He had stints as an assistant at California and Stanford before beginning his pro coaching career as an assistant with the AFL’s Oakland Raiders in 1966, forging a friendship with Al Davis that endured through decades of rivalry. Walsh joined the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968 to work for legendary coach Paul Brown, who gradually gave complete control of the Bengals’ offense to his assistant.

Walsh built a scheme based on the teachings of Davis, Brown and Sid Gillman - and Walsh’s own innovations, which included everything from short dropbacks and novel receiving routes to constant repetition of every play in practice.

Though it originated in Cincinnati, it became known many years later as the West Coast offense - a name Walsh never liked or repeated, but which eventually grew to encompass his offensive philosophy and the many tweaks added by Holmgren, Shanahan and other coaches.

Much of the NFL eventually ran a version of the West Coast in the 1990s, with its fundamental belief that the passing game can set up an effective running attack, rather than the opposite conventional wisdom.

Walsh also is widely credited with inventing or popularizing many of the modern basics of coaching, from the laminated sheets of plays held by coaches on almost every sideline, to the practice of scripting the first 15 offensive plays of a game.

After a bitter falling-out with Brown in 1976, Walsh left for stints with the San Diego Chargers and Stanford before the 49ers chose him to rebuild the franchise in 1979.

The long-suffering 49ers went 2-14 before Walsh’s arrival. They repeated the record in his first season, with a dismal front-office structure and weak-willed ownership. Walsh doubted his abilities to turn around such a miserable situation - but earlier in 1979, the 49ers drafted quarterback Joe Montana from Notre Dame.

Walsh turned over the starting job to Montana in 1980, when the 49ers improved to 6-10 - and improbably, San Francisco won its first championship in 1981, just two years after winning two games.

Championships followed in the postseasons of 1984 and 1988 as Walsh built a consistent winner and became an icon with his inventive offense and thinking-man’s approach to the game. He also showed considerable acumen in personnel, adding Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley, Roger Craig and Rice to his rosters after he was named the 49ers’ general manager in 1982 and the president in 1985.

“Bill pushed us all to be perfect,” Montana said years later. “That’s all he could handle as a coach, and he taught all of us to be the same way.”

Walsh left the 49ers with a profound case of burnout after his third Super Bowl victory in January 1989, though he later regretted not coaching longer.

He spent three years as a broadcaster with NBC before returning to Stanford for three seasons. He then took charge of the 49ers’ front office in 1999, helping to rebuild the roster over three seasons.

But Walsh gradually cut ties with the 49ers after his hand-picked successor as GM, Terry Donahue, took over in 2001. Walsh was widely thought to be disappointed with John York, DeBartolo’s brother-in-law who seized control of the team in 1998 and presided over the 49ers’ regression to the bottom of the league.

But Walsh stayed active through his posts on various advisory boards, plus writing, lecturing and charity work. He also became more involved at San Jose State, directing a search committee to hire a new athletic director and football coach in 2004, and served in various leadership positions at Stanford.

Walsh wrote two books and taught classes at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

“I’m doing what I want to do,” he told the AP in an interview in 2004. “I hope I never run out of things that interest me, and so far, that hasn’t happened.”

Walsh’s son, Steve, an ABC News reporter, died of leukemia at age 46 in 2002.

O’Reilly’s has been hammering DailyKos for being a hate site, something obvious to anyone who has scanned the front page. This light shined on the cockroaches caused JetBlue to pull sponsorship on YearlyKos, DailyKos’s once a year event where the writers of DailyKos emerge from their parents’ basements and sit in circles and defecate on each other while Democrats pretend to listen to their insane blather.

Now, you have to understand, liberals are used to being coddled by the media, and the vitamin D deficient denizens of DailyKos have particularly thin skin. As right-wingers, we’re used to being accused of every ill of mankind, but if one person suggests to a Kwazy Kos Kid that he’s not quite in the mainstream, he gets apoplectic. They think that the news media is right-leaning, and you have to be quite insane to reach that viewpoint. We’re talking “Psychologist Running Out of the Room Screaming, ‘Don’t Let Him Touch Me and Get His Crazy on Me!’” insane. So having a particular show on a news network turn against them is intolerable beyond their understanding. With the defection of JetBlue, they’re less inclined to take a hard look at themselves and more open to the idea of freaking out like a bunch of rats that just had their cage shaken.

So the Kwazy Kos Kids and the rest of the Candy Land-based community are now shaking their tiny fists in impotent rage against FOX News’s advertisers. Now having much combined spending power (it’s the Bush economy’s fault that their parents cut their allowances), they’re hoping they can annoy the advertisers to death by calling them over and over (and since one of FOX News’s biggest advertisers is HeadOn, I don’t think they’ll even consider being told the same thing over and over annoying).

This is a no-brainer. There is significant talk in Republican circles that as long as his wife is running the campaign folks have been warned to stay away.

My hope and confidence is dwindling. It looks like I’m going to have to hold my nose and support Rudy, however if I did not have too big and ax to grind towards Mormon Mitt I might consider him. This is do damm screwed up, we simply don’t have any legitimate GOP candidates. I have read more and heard more from Duncan Hunter but he has no shot although he may be a good GOP VP choice.

By By: Mike Allen - The Politico
Fred Thompson plans to announce Tuesday that his committee to test the waters for a Republican presidential campaign raised slightly more than $3 million in June, substantially less than some backers had hoped, according to Republican sources.

Thompson plans to make the disclosure in a filing with the Internal Revenue Service, as he continues to operate his prospective campaign as a political organization that does not require disclosure to the Federal Election Commission.

Many Republicans had seen the “Law & Order” actor and former U.S. senator from Tennessee as a potential savior in a tough election cycle.

He attracted support from such top-shelf party figures as Mary Matalin, Liz Cheney, George P. Bush and other GOP stalwarts who saw him as a potential Hillary Clinton slayer.

But many Republicans have turned queasy as Thompson has ousted part of his original brain trust and repeatedly delayed his official announcement, which is now planned for shortly after Labor Day, in the first two weeks of September.

Some are already saying a prospective Thompson run is a flop. “I just don’t see it anymore,” said a key Republican who had been extremely enthusiastic about a Thompson candidacy.

“That number is really underwhelming. There were indications it could be double that. They’ve been saying that people were waiting for Fred, and the money was going to pour in. He looks like he’s already losing momentum.”

Thompson advisers are bracing for news coverage of the fundraising figure as a disappointment, but point out it covers only 26 days — from June 4, when Friends of Fred Thompson Inc., was formed, to June 30, which the IRS specifies as the closing day for this report.

Thompson camp’s defense

“There has been some criticism that the testing-the-waters committee is not such a testing-the-waters committee and that he’s running some sort of campaign,” said a Thompson adviser.

“He’s raising enough to test the waters, not run a full-fledged presidential campaign. He’s not a candidate.”

The adviser said the figure was enough for Thompson to hire some staff, do some travel and work on his policy initiatives.

“It’s not going to be a huge number for a presidential campaign. It’s a testing-the-waters-type number. The number will reflect that goal. He hasn’t been campaigning. He’s been talking to people about whether that figure is the direction he definitely wants to go.”

Republican sources say Thompson has a full-time staff of 30, split between offices in McLean, Va., and Nashville, Tenn., which will be the formal headquarters. In addition, he has interns and volunteers.

A Thompson aide said the former senator is as enthusiastic as ever. “It’s full speed ahead,” the aide said. “Sen. Thompson spent last week traveling the country, meeting with supporters and Fredheads. He was met with great enthusiasm everywhere he went and he’s feeling great.”

Thompson is scheduled to hold a fundraiser in Washington Monday night.

Ticket prices are $1,000 for a person and $5,000 for a political action committee. Many current and former members of Congress are on an honorary host committee.

I have said here that one of my greatest educational weaknesses in my younger days was the fact that I did not read very much if at all.

Now as a young kid I read newspapers all the time and I loved to read different newspapers to get different perspectives on issues, which likely explains why I love blogging so much.

I love going to different sites to see what your average person has to say on various issues.
I jokingly say how much I “hate” liberals and how reading some of the stuff they have to say is irritating… well it is sometimes irritating but I do find how liberals come to the conclusions they do fascinating.

Anywho, what I was getting to was my reading and retention, its far better now that it has ever been. Thanks to blogging I bet I read 100 times more material now than I did in my late teens and early 20’s.

Now my book reading is still lagging, but I am making a more conscious effort to read more books. Now you book readers are going to laugh and scoff at reading a few “paltry” books constitutes “quality” reading but hey, fuck off, I’m making the effort to be a less illiterate Negro, you should be somewhat pleased, LOL!

In the last year I have read: (or still reading): “Conservatism Am Anthology of Social and Political Thought from David Hume to the Present”
“Do As I Say (Not As I Do) Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy”
“Disaster: Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security”
“Black Rednecks, White Liberals”

Mrs. Snoop went to Borders and I picked up a few more dealing with themes I have been ranting about over the last month or so, “Female Chauvinist Pigs – Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture” – By Ariel Levy
“White Guilt – How Black and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era” – By Shelby Steele
and finally “Scam – How (the) Black Leadership Exploits Black America, by Rev Jessie Lee Peterson.

I am reading all three at the same time, all are very good so far. I hope to have more fresher rants (observations) when I’m through.

From the blog Ankle Biting Pundits

As you may know, Iraq isn’t going quite as badly as our friends on the Left would like it to. Most of them would just as soon up and quit the war and cede that region to the terrorists.But freshman Rep. Nancy Bodya (D-KS) is leading her colleagues by example. According to the transcript of the July 27th House Armed Services Committee hearing, Rep. Bodya just up and walked out of the committee room because retired Army General Jack Keane was allowed to profile some of the positive stories coming out of that long-suffering part of the world.

And I just will make some statements more for the record based on what I heard from — mainly from General Keane. As many of us — there was only so much that you could take until we in fact had to leave the room for a while. So I think I am back and maybe can articulate some things — after so much of the frustration of having to listen to what we listened to.But let me first just say that the description of Iraq as in some way or another that it’s a place that I might take the family for a vacation — things are going so well — those kinds of comments will in fact show up in the media and further divide this country instead of saying, here’s the reality of the problem. And people, we have to come together and deal with the reality of this issue.

I would like to know who the other walk-outs were.

I hope our brave fighting men and women know that Rep. Bodya does not speak for the vast majority of Americans who would never walk out on them.

From Sister Toldjah, Any excuse to like to a story about cleavage!!

Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell says that Post fashion writer Robin Givhan’s July 20 column on Hillary Clinton’s cleavage generated tons of outrage:

The Post got thousands of angry letters and calls last week — the vast majority from women — in response to a July 20 Style column by Fashion Editor Robin Givhan, commenting on Clinton showing a bit of cleavage on the Senate floor. A note from Ann Stingle of Fairfax echoed others’ complaints: “Robin Givhan’s story is sexist and demeaning of both women and the seriousness of issues needing to be addressed.’’

Ann Althouse had a little fun responding to some of the letters Howell reprinted, including this letter, which I’m going to address (emphasis added):

I can’t decide what horrifies me more: that The Post, which I have often touted for its intelligent reporting, would publish such a sexist, dated article, or even worse, that the author was echoing a common viewpoint still prevalent in society.

As a mother and a professional analyst for the government, I have always believed that my colleagues have respected my work, my mind and my opinions, not whether my cleavage was showing. I dress as I believe all women should: with the ability to choose clothes that represent who they are, be they feminine, nurturing, intelligent, sexy or fashionable. But I do so with the hope that clothes represent my style — not how much skin is exposed.

Althouse’s response:

So women should wear clothes that “represent who they are,” but it’s wrong to analyze this self expression? Your “clothes represent [your] style — not how much skin is exposed”? What does that mean? The style of your clothes obviously includes the way it covers some parts and not others. Once you concede that clothes express the inner self, it follows that we should try to understand the meaning of the clothing worn by a person who seeks political power. Why would you censor this valuable line of inquiry?

Exactly. As a woman, and knowing many women, I can tell you from first hand experience that when professional women dress, nine times out of ten they’re dressing to impress, I don’t care where they’re working. They also expect to get noticed for how ’sharp’ and/or ’stylish’ they’re dressed and, shocker of all shockers, they actually like to receive compliments for what they wear. Now I can guarantee you that if Givhan’s column had been more flattering about the way Hillary dresses, i.e., if she was wearing red, how the color and style she was wearing was a symbol for power, or if it was along the lines of “Hillary is showing some cleavage and leg in a Congress that traditionally shies away form overt displays of skin. You go girl! Break down those walls!” the reactions to that column would have been totally different - especially amongst the liberal woman responding to what was written.

Goodie, goodie we get to mix the raunchy talk of politics and boobies together.
I swear, if I had not read news articles about this “controversy” if I had been watching her speech on the floor live I would not have thought anything about it.
I frankly don’t see a problem with what she wore on the floor or in the pic I have above.
Now if she were falling out of the power suit with triple D’s then well…BUT I would not be here as a right wing blogger saying HOW DARE SHE!
I can hear some of you saying, “Sure, any excuse to post crude pictures on your blog,” I don’t NEED an excuse to post what some may consider crude photos, because as I have said numerous times I don’t give a shit what y’all think.

Now speaking from the male pig perspective, if a women is wearing a really well tailored “power suite” you don’t have to show any cleavage to look hot, c’mon! If you women don’t already know this then you need to get a clue.

Just like a couple of year ago as folks were shocked by Secretary of State Rice’s boots and her “Matrix” suit, I was like damm, I liked that. Some took issue but it quickly faded.
Remember what was written about back then.

Condoleezza Rice’s Commanding Clothes - By Robin Givhan - WaPost - February 25, 2005

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield on Wednesday dressed all in black. She was wearing a black skirt that hit just above the knee, and it was topped with a black coat that fell to mid-calf. The coat, with its seven gold buttons running down the front and its band collar, called to mind a Marine’s dress uniform or the “save humanity” ensemble worn by Keanu Reeves in “The Matrix.”

As Rice walked out to greet the troops, the coat blew open in a rather swashbuckling way to reveal the top of a pair of knee-high boots. The boots had a high, slender heel that is not particularly practical. But it is a popular silhouette because it tends to elongate and flatter the leg. In short, the boots are sexy.

Rice boldly eschewed the typical fare chosen by powerful American women on the world stage. She was not wearing a bland suit with a loose-fitting skirt and short boxy jacket with a pair of sensible pumps. She did not cloak her power in photogenic hues, a feminine brooch and a non-threatening aesthetic. Rice looked as though she was prepared to talk tough, knock heads and do a freeze-frame “Matrix” jump kick if necessary. Who wouldn’t give her ensemble a double take — all the while hoping not to rub her the wrong way?

Speaking of that coming new Progressive Era, liberal days are indeed on the horizon. This will surprise only the GOP Bubble Boys.Young people loathe and despise the Republican Party of intolerant old conservative white strict daddies, according to a new Democracy Corps/Greenberg Quinlan Rosner survey [pdf].

Timeout: You can always tell liberals who have read book from George Lakoff.
Here is a brief from an article about Lakoff which includes and interview with him. (Link)
Liberal need to paint right leaning folks as mean old white dudes. I guess saying if you don’t like your parents, vote Democrat? Hell I don’t know!

Conservatives subscribe to a “strict father” model that emphasizes discipline, self-interest, and competition. This is what makes George W. Bush tick. (That’s Bush the politician, not Bush the dad. Lakoff is careful to point out that these are political models, not descriptions of how people actually run their families). On the other side, liberals believe in a “nurturant parent” model with an emphasis on empathy, community, and fairness. No wonder we see ourselves as a nation of chest-thumping bullies and tax-and-spend girlie men.

And it appears that young people are going to continue to loathe and despise all that the dead white men’s party stands for even when young people become not so young.

“Young people react with hostility to the Republicans on almost every measure and Republicans and younger voters disagree on almost every major issue of the day.”

“. . [T]he disconnect we see between the Republicans and our nation’s youth runs so deep, that it likely will not only outlive the Bush administration, but potentially haunt the Republicans for many years to come.”

Sen. Hillary Clinton gets heckled by a demonstrator during a speech in front of college Democrats in South Carolina.

Briefly: This clip of Mrs. Bill being heckled by some idiot with a sign has been circling the net.
I saw this and immediately thought this is a fake as a 3 dollar bill.
C’mon folks, she is the wife of a former president and a presidential candidate.
Do you really think security would allow this nut to walk down the isle, in full view of everybody without someone jacking her ass? Particularly at a Hillary Clinton staged event? She would have had her sign pulled or at the very least had people watching her.
These events are carefully choreographed; if security did fail to jump this nut then people got fired on the spot.

Folks this is the age of You Tube, hecklers at political campaigns provide an opportunity for candidates to get free airtime and You Tube play.
Nobody would have cared about this speech if this individual had not shown up and made it a You Tube moment.

I bet you will see campaigns stage sideshows at campaign rallies and selected events to get more “free” publicity. So when these campaign “hiccups” you have to ask yourself what is really happening.

This from the Politico via Drudge

Ya know I try to take politics seriously, I really do, but during this election cycle the Edwards campaign is continually proving to me that his campaign staff must be the dumbest bunch of retards in the history of political campaigning.

Edwards keeps saying that those evil Republicans want to silence him, why would he say such stupid shit? I certainly don’t want Edwards silenced, I want him to get air time; I want people to hear the crazy shit he says on the campaign trail.

The individual who shot this clip should be thanked and rewarded for giving the American people another Edwards’s comedy clip. He apparently thinks that going the conspiracy theory route is a winning strategy.

No, Johnny, dude keep talking and keep sending me those stupid e-mails from the geniuses like Joe Trippi, the Pecan Pie recipes and the memos stating that for just $8 you too can cure hunger in America.

Please people, more You Tube of Edwards, Snoop begs you!! LOL!

MyDD* flags an intense minute and a half from John Edwards in Creston, Iowa, yesterday in which he heatedly tells an audience that the attention to tr
