Jim Hoft Displays Classic Conservative Decency

There is so much lying, vicious right wing garbage about the right wing terror attack in Tucson that I just can't stand it.  I'm going to appoint one spokesman to stand in for all of them, and one story to demonstrate the respect for truth and decency which these people display.  It's from the miserable excuse for a human being, Jim Hoft, a frequent target of my comments, and one of the widest read conservative bloggers. Here it is:

"BREAKING: DAILY KOS PUT A “BULLS-EYE” ON REP. GIFFORDS IN 2008
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 10, 2011, 7:44 PM
This hateful vitriol must stop!
Top leftist blog Daily Kos put a bulls-eye on Rep. Giffords in June 2008. "

Here's the graphic accompanying this article:


The bull's eye, the picture of Gabrielle Giffords, the enlarged caption  and the two arrows do not appear in the original story, and were apparently added by Hoft himself, who has, since he was discovered, altered the post without comment.

This is the sort of thing we are fighting.  Is it any wonder we have so much trouble getting people like this to ever do the decent thing?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
