Newt Gingrich’s trailer for his wacky new film is full of images of 9/11 and terrorism and death and destruction, but the most horrific scene by far is Newt and his latest trophy wife Callista standing rigidly in their power suits like extra-creepy androids from the Fear Dimension. That’s gonna give me nightmares.

Some analysts see the “Dems are soft on terror” accusation as a factor in the gop victories of 2002 and 2004. Gingrich is probably embracing this demagoguery because he sees it as a path to victory in 2012.
Oh, Newt. This is the guy who claims there is a “gay secular fascism” in the US simply because gays want marriage rights.
And he routinely calls Obama a “dangerous radical” every time Obama mentions not starting a new war. Gingrich recently praised Bush for invading Iraq, but said that two-thirds of the Axis of Evil unfortunately hadn’t been “dealt with yet.” There’s something to look forward to: perpetual multi-front wars in Asia.

The far right has made this more about Obama (demonization, personal vilification, etc.,) than they have made it about policy criticism and so on.
Policy is rigid in an environment that is fluid. There will be good days and bad days. IF the bad days outnumber the good days, chances are bad policy is the cause.
Obama has retained many of the Bush era policies because they were and remain good policies. That’s just smart- and evidence that the President’s priorities when it comes to keeping the nation safe are most important to him.
I have no issue, as I said, with criticizing the President, his policies and administration with meritorious arguments. However, when that criticism is predicated on personal dislikes, deceit and phony and baseless criticisms, that criticism is baseless.

They want average Americans to be completely miserable, paint it as all the fault of the Democrats, and use it to gain in elections where they will continue their up-is-down bullshit.
The media has been far too lazy in their reportage. The republicans have said flat out that they will do exactly what they did during the last decade, which is to drive us into the ditch all over again. They have no new ideas other than hate of the other, fear of the other and continued distractions to keep the masses from seeing that they are getting screwed. Are there any good ones on the right?

Media to Terry Jones: You used us!
Terry Jones and Paul emerged shortly after 1 p.m. to say they were giving New York Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf two hours to agree to call off plans for a controversial Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero.
Two hours passed. Paul came out of the warehouse-like church, followed by Jones, 29. The men gave no clear answer to questions about whether the Koran-burning was off permanently, what the New York City project had to do with it, and whether there were behind-the-scenes talks going on that could change things.
“We’re not going to tell you what’s going on!” Jones finally yelled to a crowd of nearly 100 journalists and a few onlookers.
After having just had a similar, frustrating exchange with Paul, who had stood with Jones at the 1 p.m. news conference to issue the ultimatum, the hot and cranky media hoard had had enough.
“Are you just toying with us to get attention?” asked a sweaty woman in a suit, crouching to keep out of the shot of multiple cameras over her head.
The crowd groaned.
“Why did you give this two-hour window?” came a shout from another side of the scrum.
“So will you say you’re going to burn a Koran anytime you want press coverage?” snapped a reporter with a German accent.
“We’re negotiating,” said Jones, his maroon T-shirt soaked through with sweat — but he refused to say what they were negotiating or with whom. And he kept repeating a tantalizingly ambiguous refrain: There will be no Koran-burning at 6 p.m. Saturday night.
“You’re just using us! We should all leave!” someone yelled from deep in the media pack.
Silence - for a moment. “Yeah! Let’s all leave!”
Jones’s response: “Fine, we’re not press hungry, go!”
But no one moved, until Jones turned and shuffled back to the church.

As America goes through rapid change—becoming far less white in the process— the GOP could make appeals to growing minority groups and others it does poorly with, in order to build the permanent Republican majority they used to speak of.
Instead they’ve decided to double down on religion (specifically evangelical Christianity) and reactionary glorification of the past. This only gets traction with white voters. This may work in the short run, as they’ll get an even higher percentage of white voters (even McCain won 56% of the white vote). But it’s a losing strategy past 2010-2012, as this white base is a shrinking piece of the overall pie.

Sorry don’t agree with that assessment. They are only appealing to a very small minority of “whites” and they are repelling more whites, like men (Ex GOP,) than they appeal to. They are catering to that crowd out of desperation, not because it’s a sure way to maintain grip on power. It’s a sure way to loose power.

Wow, talking about moronic convergence;
Rush Limbaugh, Pastor Terry Jones Were High School Classmates
Terry Jones, the Florida pastor threatening to burn a Koran tomorrow on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was a high school classmate of Rush Limbaugh.
The Cape Central High School (Missouri) website has the perhaps unsurprising coincidence front and center, noting:
“Rush Limbaugh USED to be Cape Girardeau’s most prominent export. One of his classmates from the Central High School Class of 1969 is dominating the news right now: Terry Jones, the Gainesville, FL, preacher who is threatening to hold an ‘International Burn a Koran Day’ on September 11.”

Enter Rick Lazio:
Lazio ‘comfortable’ with 9/11 imagery in mosque ads
Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Lazio stood by the use of graphic footage of the World Trade Center attacks Tuesday during an interview with a local radio host.
“I am comfortable with the, with the ads that we have out,” Lazio said when pressed by 77WABC’s Bernard McGuirk.
The web spot in question features footage of the WTC’s smoldering ruins and firefighters running through rubble on the day of the attacks — imagery generally considered out-of-bounds for political advertisements. The ad takes aim at the proposed Islamic community center near ground zero, and Lazio’s Democratic opponent, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. It drew criticism from NYC sergeants’ and fire officers’ unions.
“This is, this is an important, important issue for millions of Americans and New Yorkers,” Lazio continued, referring to the mosque. “And it was about to be swept under the carpet.
“I raised my voice. I was not going to let this thing go into the dark of the night and not ask where this money is coming from, who is behind it, are they terrorist organizations? Are they foreign governments?”
For that matter I would add Newt Gingrich for breaking that once social/political taboo.

Obama extends 9/11 state of emergency
No word of this yet from the White House, but President Barack Obama has today extended for another year the state of emergency President George W. Bush declared after the 9/11 attacks.
Obama’s notice, available here via the Office of Federal Register, allows the Executive Branch a variety of powers under federal law. The ones Bush invoked back on September 14, 2001 had to do with military issues, such as the ready reserve and wartime footing for the Coast Guard.
Declarations of emergency also back up some economic sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department on individuals and groups abroad, but it’s unclear to me whethere they’re at issue with this latest notice.

That’s my point: they’ll lose long term. But I don’t think it’s a “very small minority”, at least not in some places I’ve lived like Houston and San Antonio. Evangelicals make up something like one-third of the white population.
And the tea party movement, which I originally thought was an ineffectual joke, actually has huge numbers and influence over the gop.

‘George Bush is racist and wants blacks to die’ in the Katrina aftermath
It was Kanye West who said that. He’s not a member of Congress.
But yes, both sides say stupid shit. The extreme stupid shit being said now comes from gop leadership/pundits far more than the Dems.
Maybe that will change in the future, but that’s not the issue here. And I don’t see the current gop moderating any time soon. Do you?

President Bush Is ‘Our Bull Connor,’ Harlem’s Rep. Charles Rangel Claims
Comparing President Bush to the Birmingham, Ala., police commissioner whose resistance to the civil rights movement became synonymous with Southern racism, Rep. Charles Rangel said yesterday of the president: “George Bush is our Bull Connor.”
Mr. Rangel’s metaphoric linkage of Mr. Bush to the late Theophilus “Bull” Connor - who in 1963 turned fire hoses and attack dogs on blacks, including Martin Luther King Jr., demonstrating in favor of equal rights - met with wild applause and cheering at a Congressional Black Caucus town hall meeting, part of the organization’s 35th Annual Legislative Conference.
