LGF reader Smug Monkey made a good suggestion; here’s a topic for readers to post amusing quotes from the fever swamps of the left wing internet, where the denizens are awash in a toxic mixture of rage and depression.

Boston (CNSNews.com) – As President George Bush edged closer to the 270 electoral votes necessary to secure re-election, supporters of Democratic nominee John Kerry openly wept and consoled each other at the Election Night celebration in Boston's Copley Square. A distraught woman confronted a Democratic congressman in a hotel, screaming, "Can you tell me why everybody made a mistake?"

I haven't seen this for myself...but on another blog, someone reported that the LiveJournal pagan forums were abuzz with the theory that Bush stole the election by hiring a bunch of practitioners of high magic!

Because you just KNOW there have to be plenty of those around the White House...

I'll keep searching over there to see what I can find.

Hello all. This satire was e-mailed to me this morning so I thought I'd share it with you. It's a great day to be an American. Michael Moore's concession speech:

Dear America,

Well, you did it. Despite all the trickery, special effects and deceit I could muster, you went ahead and elected Bush anyway. Actually, I'm kind of relieved, now I don't have the pressure of being "That Asshole who screwed up politics with his mockumentary." As of right now, I'm looking for any and all Kerry election parties that still have food left on the buffet.

To the fans of my work, fear not, I have some very big plans that I will share with you. I’ll be poking around Florida looking for some disenfranchised minority voters (hopefully about 350,000 of them). Can't wait to edit the film from that trip! And, I'll also be hooking up with Morgan Spurlock, director of the hit film "Supersize Me"...we're doing a sequel called "Mi Mucho Grande" where we eat nothing but Taco Bell for a year and sit around lighting each other's farts. Blaming our burns on Haliburton, of course. I smell Cannes!

Or is that something else...

Shadily Yours,

Michael "Laughing All The Way To The Bank" Moore

I trusted Kerry (4.00 / 4)

to be my President. I trust him to concede. He's a fighter, and he's also a pragmatist; he won't fight for no reason. That's one reason he would've made such a wonderful president.

Here's a good one from Kos:

Second, gut any Bush hopes for legitimacy. Find the places in Florida and Ohio and every other state where a plausible argument for Republican vote fraud can be made. It doesn't matter whether it did happen or not. What matters is if it can be plausibly alleged to marginal Bush supporters and to the media. We also have to let the issue go where it's implausible. Hammering on voter fraud where it's not at least plausible on that level is only going to hurt our credibility. We have to sink our fangs into Republican ankles and hang onto them for dear life on the legitimacy issue. We have to make him "Bush the only American President who was never elected" whether it's true or not.

Oh, yes, yes, yes! Here it is!

Magical Election Ta pering: SHUT IT DOWN!
Ok, I can understand the restlessness I've been feeling since yesterday. There's a lot riding on this election, and passions are running high on both sides, so naturally eceryone and their naked brother who has an ounce of Power and no clue about Shielding is leaking energy like a hair dryer in a bathtub. So it's Shields Up for me, but I'm still getting enough bleedover to make me jittery and a little manic if I don't concentrate. That's all to be expected.

What wasn't expected was that once I filtered out all that background noise, I started hearing a calm, resonable, and powerful head-voice saying things like "Kerry doesn't have the experience we need in these troubled times." and "Give Bush a chance to make it better."

Anyone who knows me KNOWS these are not my thoughts! And besides, I voted last week. No, there's no way in Hades these are my thoughts.

Gods-damn it! The f*cking Republicans have got Magical help pumping out a clear, unified, focused broadcast, and you can be sure, every sensitive is picking it up. These are the people most likely to vote Kerry, and I'd like to think they are resolute enough not to be swayed by telepathic subliminal advertising, but it's such a rarely-done thing, and so few people are properly trained these days, that I fear it will be more effective. Just watch and see who says "I was going to vote for Kerry, but for some reason I changed my mind at the last minute."

Who would be doing this for them? Gee, who are the Mages driving around in those black Mercedes and Lincolns with the tinted windows? The ones who live in the mansions with the hell-hounds in the yard and the 7-foot tall hairless black doormen? Every town has some, the bigger the town, the more of these "High Magi" you will find.

I have no idea what their agenda may be, but you can be damn sure the welfare of the common human on the street is not a part of it.

So shield, people, shield. And screen. And if you can shield a polling place, do it! I'm not saying to try to interfere with people's choices, but rather prevent them from being interfered with.

This is important, people, and it may be too late already.

AH HAH HAH HAAA!

ANTONIA ZERBISIAS

"Do you want to see John Kerry going hat in hand to the United Nations and posing for photo ops with Kofi Annan and Jacques Chirac?" pleaded Little Green Footballs' chief hardline onliner, Charles Johnson. "Do you want to see the Arab world partying like it's 9/11? Do you want to see a new video from Osama bin Laden congratulating president-elect Kerry, directed by Michael Moore? Go vote now! Go!"

Johnson, for those out of the loop, has probably done more to disseminate hate for liberals, Europeans, the United Nations, Palestinians, Muslims and Hollywood than any other big name blogger.


The radical Muslim extremists, UN dictators, and Palestinian terrorists can always count on Zerbisias to be their human-shield from the hate-filled attacks by Charles.

Tell me all about it, because the only thing you can do is fucking talk. You know what my graduation gift to myself will be, besides that GPWASR I want? A DVD of Fahrenheit 9/11. In fact, I might even give fatty my hard earned money and go see one of his movies at the theatre. Because there is nothing like watching a stuck pig squeal, my dear droogies.

November 3rd Nationwide Day of Action
Over 30 cities across the nation are mobilizing for a time of popular outrage and widespread non-cooperation if Bush is elected, if the elections are canceled, or if there is overt election fraud again. No matter who wins, we will be uniting to open up a new political space to define democracy as grassroots and participatory.

What if on the day after the presidential election people from all walks of life across America mobilized in their communities to go beyond voting and demonstrate our visions for a truy democratic society? Because the crisis of our democracy did not start with Bush and won't end with Kerry, the Beyond Voting campaign is calling for our election year debate to expand beyond Democrats versus Republicas to the larger issue of whether the U.S. will be a Democracy or an Empire. No matter who wins, we will be uniting to open up a new political space to define democracy as grassroots and participatory.

This isn't some sort of coincidence, no my friends Bush, Haliburton and the military industrial complex have had this figured out months ago. You think these ignorant, right wing, religious nazi fuckers could vote their way out of a paperbag? Funny how every state went to electronic voting machines isn't it. Don't tell some high altitude electronic warfare aircraft weren't flying missions yesterday to electronically alter the vote! The CIA has been doing this for decades to change the votes in central and South America.

I have been listening to portland imc web radio all day and I am now very excited, EXCITED, not despondent about tomorrow...and the next day...and the next.
Now, we can start our future the future that we have been begging for. Momentum is on our side. Had John Kerry won, we wouldve woken up late tomorrow and missed being out in the street. Now, they will make it a point, they may come out eary, they may take back the streets, maybe the city, and perhaps, just perhaps, they may begin to take back their lives.

The McAuliffe reign has ended in disaster, with the Democratic Party in worse position electorally than when he came in as Chair in February 2001. We have lost seats in the House and Senate, and failed to cleanly take out the Worst President Ever.
While McAuliffe was an artful fundraiser, the party continued to lack the ability to develop a clear message or properly frame the political debate. And it's been killing us.

Dear Kos, it isn't that you're message is getting out...it's that REAL AMERICANS THAT LOVE LIBERTY AND HATE TERRORISM AND EVERYTHING THE LEFT STANDS FOR INCLUDING ABORTION, PACIFIST IDEALS, SOCIALISM, ETC.

Okay if I expand the topic to include "amusing quotes heard in person"?

Overheard in the Metro elevator this morning, between two glum-looking Kerry-supporter girls (one of who was pretty hot, but that's another story):

"This [Bush's victory] is probably going to trigger a wave of terrorist attacks right here in Washington. I only hope they have the decency to let me get out of town before they begin."

62 Baby Elephant  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 7:15:51am

This isn't from the Internet but Chris Matthews and Katie Curic just completely insulted a majority of Americans. 1) Southerns and Christians aren't analytical. They just believe and follow. 2) Bush has no mandate. 3) There really are two Americas (basically a smart progressive America and then another for us dumbass Southerners and/or Christians. I'm so pissed off right. Does someone know how to get a transcript of this?

I cannot possibly put into words how disappointed, angry, and perplexed I am right now. The reported results coming out of Florida and Ohio simply make no sense to me. I cannot comprehend how we could have such a massive increase in turnout and not win the election. To paraphrase that little weasel Tucker Carlson: You don't wait in line for five hours to vote for more of the same. Who knows, maybe some people really would wait in line for more of the same. But my impression is that something just stinks here. As EarlG told me this morning: The result is either massively fraudulent or deeply disturbing.

The Democratic Underground (which has their fora temporarily closed) has this to say on their main page:

I have no clue what happened. As I said above, I find the result to be extremely hard to believe. In my disappointment, I find myself drawn to a number of possible explanations, some of which raise legitimate questions that need to be answered, and others which may just be the result of wishful thinking. We've got an incredibly smart and motivated group of people here. We need to consider all of the possibilities. If any particular idea has potential, then we need to pursue it. I have already seen many very compelling theories put forth on this message board, and I'm sure we'll hear lots of other ideas coming from other bloggers. Hopefully some of them will pan out. But I would caution everyone to avoid jumping to any conclusions. As much as we don't want to believe it, it may turn out that--to put it bluntly--the other side got more votes.

We have already had some very interesting things posted on DU since last night. Of particular interest to me were the following:

This post and this post suggest that exit polls closely match reported results, except in those states that had electronic voting machines with no paper trail. This definitely deserves more scrutiny.

Also, there was this post asking why the massive increase in turnout isn't showing up in the final numbers. Or is it? This needs to be looked into.

Whiners. Looks like they are casting about for any straw of hope to illegitimise the election.

Pathetic.

After that, let's start beating up on Bush if he doesn't execute the war vigorously or attack the deficit.

I seriously doubt that any of the people we're snickering at here would be so much as polite to us if we encountered them on the street. They'd likely be violent if we were wearing "W" buttons. So I don't feel too callous for laughing at their misery.

Tax revolt, Strikes
by mvk

It should be abundantly clear, if it wasn't by now, that we are powerless to change the tide in the US through the electoral system. The same party controls all three branches of the federal government and has shown complete willingness to meddle in affairs at state and local levels. Moreover, they control the companies that provide the machines used to secretly tabulate our vote.
Are you ready to hit this government where it counts?

It is time to look at our history books and see what has worked elsewhere. I find two strategies that we can take on right away that will IMMEDIATELY impact this government.

1. Strike
Stop contributing to the corporate rulers of this nation by working to benefit them. If we can get 5 million people to strike- that makes an impact. Right away. That brings the eye of the world to this situation, and makes it clear that something is wrong. Yes, I know we all need to pay bills, to keep a roof over our heads, feed families, etc...but think back to Hitler. Think back to the world that he would have for his people. And know that GWB, 4 years in, is further along on his agenda of hate and suppression thank Hitler was in 4 years. Do you want to change the tide? Then put the corporate leaders in a position where they have to listen. If they have no workers, they cannot make money, and there is no money to fuel the wars, and no material from which to build the bombs.

2. Tax revolt
Do not pay taxes to the feds. Turn up your deductions to maximum levels. Claim additional exemptions on your W4's. Do not file tax returns. Pay your local taxes, and donate a substantial amount to the charities of this country who provide the services we need. But stop funding the federal nightmare. Worried about the IRS? Don't be. What will they do if millions of us, tens of millions, do not pay our taxes? They don't have the enforcement to find us, they don't have the jails to hold us, and they don't have IRS agents with the morale to pursue us day after day if we are engaged in a noble cause.

Today is the day to start. DO NOT GO TO WORK TODAY. AND TELL YOUR BOSS YOU ARE STAYING HOME TO PROTEST THE GOVERNMENT.

It may sound ludicrous to you individually to take this stand, but remember, we're all here for you. And I, for one, will be joining you.

Sad State of Affairs
by J Way Left

I am at a loss this morning to understand what has happened in this country. Forget all the talk about voter fraud and "an outside chance." The fact is that the Democrats failed miserably in their strategy to lure so-called swing voters to their side. Turnout may have been up, but probably only in the states that we knew we'd take. The problem for the dems is that they are afraid of appealing to their liberal base, of appearing "liberal" to the swing voters.
I say f**k the swing voters. Why can't we win one state in the south? Why can't we focus our energy on minority voters in states where they can make a difference? There is no southern strategy. We need to do what the republicans do. Screw the others and appeal to the liberals who I still believe make up a majority in this country.

I am depressed beyond belief. If there was fraud, it certainly wasn't the deciding issue. We should f**king win Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia and send the liars home.

It's going to take bombs falling and killing our own women and children before we realize how screwed we are.

I for one have unplugged myself from the matrix.

Blame the Queers (none / 0)

Fuck all of you Democrats who tell me to what 10 or 20 or 30 years to obtain my civil rights. Either you believe in principles of equality and tolerance or you don't. If you don't believe in these principles change your registration. If you do, fight for them proudly. What is so fucking pathetic about you is that you think you will win if you sell your souls for 4 million. You'll sell them and then Bush and his heirs will still defeat you. Then what will you be left for you to believe in?

Judging from the sweeping gay marriage bans, I don't think people want gays to be 'married.' IMHO they should be able to enter some kind of legal union (equal protection under the constitution) but 'marriage' isn't something defined by the gov.

STEALING ANOTHER ELECTION... (none / 1)

The only slight odds are a repeat of 2000. They force fed the Populace BullShit polls, setting everyone up for the improbable.
Record anecdotal evidence about our side's turnout. And in FL and OH, they somehow magically overcome our record turnout? HOW!?

Where are the marginal Repub voters coming from? The evangelicals who stayed home in 2000 b/c of W's DUI. What a crock of shit.

This is not What Democracy Looks Like.

How come in CT all the precincts have reported in the non-contested Congressional Districts?

How come all the CD's have voted 270K voters, plus or minus 5K voters, except the 2nd , where the unpopular Repug won by a 165K to 140K result?

Coincidence? One out of five districts turns out an extra 10% (All Repug). yeah, right.

Kos has this brilliant suggestion

The McAuliffe reign has ended in disaster, with the Democratic Party in worse position electorally than when he came in as Chair in February 2001. We have lost seats in the House and Senate, and failed to cleanly take out the Worst President Ever.
While McAuliffe was an artful fundraiser, the party continued to lack the ability to develop a clear message or properly frame the political debate. And it's been killing us.

Even if Kerry can pull off the victory, it's clear the Democratic Party as currently constituted is on its deathbed. It needs reforms, and it needs them now. Quite frankly, the status quo simply won't cut it.

Howard Dean for DNC Chair.

Yeah, put the Scream in charge of your party - that's all you need. Can you say another 5% moving in the GOP direction if the Democrats cater to Dean's radicalism?

Go ahead, Americans - fight it out!

And you'd probably have introduced a functioning democracy, instead of your current third world-style pseudocracy, long ago.

YOU movers and shakers: do NOT let Kerry & Edwards stand out there on their own! Push the dialog on the TV to new places. Force discussion on this fraudulent election, on the lack of recounts, on BROTHER JEB'S past history in 2000 (US Civil Rights Commission wanted a criminal investigation). Do NOT shut up. We need to open up Florida and demand a paper ballot election or telephone sampling of precincts or SOMETHING.

We need Money-men to join in this not just for the money but for the media, because big money is the ONLY thing that the Media respects now.

DON'T GIVE UP ON FLORIDA. Not through absentees, but through criminal investigations, unending spotlight on the cheating. Push on MULTIPLE fronts, and make JEB feel the heat.

MSNBC Journalism School of Katie Couric foot worship --

"A few bullet points on what appears to have happened in this remarkable presidential election:

1. The incumbent persuaded voters who are not happy with the status quo to stay the course.

2. The incumbent made this race as much a referendum on his challenger as it was on him, and reframed the usual course of campaign debate about a war and the US economy. The Democratic challenger frequently departed from his focus on domestic issues such as Medicare, prescription drugs, and helping the middle class to talk about the war.

3. The incumbent overcame one bad story beyond his control after another. Very little went Bush's way after the capture of Saddam Hussein in December 2003. After that came increased casualties in Iraq, Abu Ghraib, the September 11 commission report, the absence of WMD, criticisms of No Child Left Behind and the Medicare law, unhelpful job numbers, and one or more lost debates.

4. The incumbent apparently benefited from late deciders.

5. The incumbent benefited from turnout which, despite seeming higher than the predicted floor of 110 million (official tallies TBD), must have been a lot more evenly distributed between Bush and Kerry than had been expected. The CW had been the higher the turnout, the better for Kerry.

And, 6. The incumbent also benefited from a shift among Hispanic voters -- per Democrats' own data. A Democratic party source says there was a 6% shift to Bush nationally and a 5% shift in Florida, where Hispanics made up about 15% of the electorate. "

Make those b*st*rds sorry they ever f**ked with us.

I'm a bit of a photography buff. Whenever something with a political aspect occurs, moonbats come out of the woodwork at one photography forum I frequent. They didn't disappoint today. Sadly, I can't provide quotes, as the moderator keeps shutting down such threads as fast as they get started.

The gist is:

- Bush voters are uniformed/stupid/in-bread
- The US has become a confederacy
- The US is doomed to international infamy
- There's still hope! The Ohio provisional ballots! Disenfranchisement!

One guy posted a picture of a moonbat protester doing something too nuanced for me to understand. Looked like he has gauze stuck in his mouth.

I captured a bit from DU

The short version:

The rest of the world watched with baited
breath today- praying collectively that we
would somehow take back our country because
they knew all too well that the results of this election
would affect their lives too. We tried. We really tried.
In record numbers, but the fix was in before we ever
went to cast our votes to rid the world of these demons
from the bowels of hell.

We must put our pens to paper and tell them
that the election was stolen and we did NOT elect
these people. We must beg their forgiveness for
allowing these people to take power in 2000.
We should have taken to the streets then, and now
it is too late. We must tell them that we do not
support what these people have done, and will do
in our names..

If I hear one more f'ing person tell me Bush has no mandate I'm going to puke. Heck, I may do that anyway...due to the celebratory beer drinking I did last night!!!

But seriously, he won by a significant amount in the popular vote, Senate picked up seats for Reps, and so did the House.

How can anyone spin that as not a mandate??

Special thanks to Moore and Bin Laden for making it clear to the American public that both of them supported Kerry for the same reasons.

With Bin Laden endorsing the Kerry ideologues, Kerry got an A+ on the global test, but somehow failed the US election. Go figure.

Maybe Bin Laden should be kept alive just to serve as the final arbiter of the global test. To play that role he would need to be captured alive then interviewed regularly by Dan Rather who could be intimately sharing the same jail cell.

How about this from Al-Jezeera?

Bush, 58, the born-again Christian son of ex-president George Bush, campaigned as a "war president" ready to take the United States into battle alone if necessary to safeguard the country.

The 60-year-old Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, took a more nuanced stand, preaching the need to repair alliances rent by the Iraq war and to reconstruct an international consensus on the global war against "terrorism".

Choice quotes indeed

Sacrifice, You Hypocrites!
From Alton Raines
11-3-4

Every single blessed idiot that voted for George Bush that has a young male between the age of 18 and 25 needs to march him down to the Army, Navy, Marine or Air Force recruitment office AT ONCE! If you're going to support George Bush sending America's children to die for Israel and the profitability of the Military Industrial Complex, you need to show it with your sacrificial offering and not just sit back and let the "other" guys kid who joined the Army or the Guard to get an education be the only one in a body bag, or missing a limb or suffering from DU exposure. Show your patriotism with real sacrifice! George is perfectly willing to ship 'em off in droves. He's having to scrape the bottom of the barrel now, re-calling fifty and sixty year old Army personnel back into action, as well as sending mother's of newborns. You voted for this warlord, so ante up! Haven't you heard? We're in a "war on terror"!!! There's blood to be spilled and nations to be conquered in the name of "democracy"! It's a glorious Crusade, approved by no less than Almighty God Himself! As George said, "it's hard work."

I hope you're ready to do your part to keep America safe from whatever new boogieman 'W' and his NeoCon cronies decide is "the" next bad guy. Sure, it won't matter that he sends your kid over there looking for weapons of mass destruction -- that we know are there because we SOLD them to them -- and then they change their reason. You didn't care about that, anyway, you blew it off... you accepted the scenario switch... as long as it was someone ELSES kid getting his legs blown off for Haliburton Inc.,.. it was JUSTIFIED. And you convinced yourself it was because George had a heart, nay, a BURDEN for the poor Iraqi people, to be their Moses, to set them free. Ok, you've proven to the world you're a fucking fool. Now follow through and don't hold back! In fact, maybe YOU should GET YOUR ASS OVER THERE, eh? You want to see 'Democracy' flourish so bad, YOU sign up and sacrifice yourself for it. 'W' is calling you!

Voters from around the country have reported on their experiences at the polls. The League of Pissed Off Voters, a network doing national voter-organizing out of New York City, compiled a preliminary list of reports of voting irregularities in New Orleans, LA; St. Petersburg, FL; Toledo, OH; Columbus, OH; Beloit, WI; and Milwuakee, WI. Other reported voting problems posted to IMCs include Felton, CA; Nashville, TN; Michigan and Ohio; Portland, OR; Boston, MA; Pittsburgh, PA; Florida and Pennsylvania; St. Louis, MO; Tulsa, OK; Manhattan, NY; Urbana, IL; Brooklyn, NY; and elsewhere.
No matter what the outcome of the sElections may be, protests have been organized throughout the US. A nationwide Beyond Voting movement, sponsored by a broad coalition of anti-war/anti-empire/global justice organizations, is planning for street demonstrations in over 30 cities TODAY (Wednesday, Nov. 3), the day after the election, saying "No matter who wins, the world needs to hear that the people of the U.S. demand fundamental social, economic, and political change." In addition to protests, a World Party has been called for in cities all over the the US, and throughout the world.

155 NYC_Mike  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 7:38:59am

I dont know what part of this is the funniest -
you tell me - excerpted from the CBS news site -

(CBS/AP) France, Germany and the other European countries President Bush alienated during his first four years promised Wednesday to work with the new U.S. administration.

What's that smell?? Sour grapes??


In Europe, governments said that the election was a chance to repair ties strained by Mr. Bush's decision to go to war despite opposition from European powers such as France and Germany.

Oh that's right, France and Germany good - USA bad, I keep forgetting that! The crap continues...


Observers credited Mr. Bush's success to Americans' fears of more terrorist attacks and signs the economy may be improving, but noted it was a very close race.

"It is an incumbent president in a situation where a great part of the nation experiences that it is in a war with terrorism and the economy is moving in the right direction," said Sweden's Prime Minister Goeran Persson. "These two issues together should have given Bush a clear victory. Despite this, it was very narrow. This shows that the U.S. is divided."

SO in other words Bush won - but WE KNOW he really lost. IS that the Stokholm syndrome???

This however is my fav...

"This is a catastrophe for the rest of the world," said Syafii Maarif, chairman of Muhammadiyah, a mainstream Muslim group in Indonesia, the world's most populous Islamic country. "We have already seen that Bush has made a mess of the world over the last four years."

How come I've never visted Rense before. That site is the swingiest moonbattiest site ever...

This one, while not election related, seems to justify suicide bombings against Israeli taxpayers

Confirmed and confessed, B. Michael
Yediot Aharonot
October, 2004

(This article was translated from Hebrew by The Other Israel)

Between Sept 29 and Oct 15, fifteen days in all, I killed thirty children. Two children per day.

Two dead children per day is more or less four bereaved parents per day. Why more or less? Because some of them were brothers. So, two dead children for one pair of bereaved parents. Perhaps that's better, because these parents are bereaved anyway, so they are just bereaved twice, and another pair of parents is released from being bereaved. But perhaps it is less good, because to be bereaved is worse than being dead, and being twice bereaved is twice worse than being dead. So I don't really know what to decide.

All these children I killed in the Gaza Strip, and all of them I killed by mistake. That is, I knew that there were children there, and I knew I would kill some of them, but since I knew it would be by mistake I did not feel so pressured about it. Because everybody makes mistakes. Only the one who does nothing does not make mistakes. Mistakes happen, we are all human beings. That is what I think is so nice about my mistakes, they make me so human and fallible, is it not so?

The 30 children I killed by all kind of mistakes. Each child with his special mistake. There was one about whom I thought by mistake that he was not a child. And there was one which I hit because he insisted on standing exactly on the spot at which I decided to shoot. And there was one who threw stones and did not at all look six years old. And there was one who from the air looked like a wanted terrorist. Or like a Qassam rocket. Or like a terrorist holding a Qassam rocket. And there were some children who by mistake got into their heads some of the shrapnel from the shell I shot into their house. And there was one who by mistake hid under her bed exactly when I blew up the bed in order to expel the terrorist squad which was hiding there. But this does not count, it was her mistake, not mine.

I remember it was the most hard with my first mistake. I shot and shot and shot, then they told me I had killed a child. I became pale, and my mouth was dry, and my knees were shaking, and in general I did not sleep very well that night. But with the passing of time, and of mistakes, it became much easier. Now I make mistakes with hardly any side-effects. It was very helpful that my friends, my environment, everybody, did not make so much fuss over every small mistake.

Here, just last week, when I killed by mistake one girl, I shot two more mistakes into her head, just to make sure that I was making a mistake. And then the rest of my magazine, full of mistakes. Once, I would not have been able to do that.

True, some people tell me that I am making a mistake in making this confession. They tell I have not been in Gaza at all, and did not shoot any bullet, and did not bomb, and did not shell, and did not snipe. That's true, I did not. But who paid for the bullets? Me. And who bought the gun? And financed the shell? And the missile? Me. Me. Me. Also me.

And also, who is not growing pale any more with every new mistake? Whose mouth is not getting dry when one more child is laid in the earth? Whose knees do not grow weak when another nameless baby lies dead in a bloody cradle? Who goes on sleeping soundly even when the number of mistakes reaches thirty in two weeks? Me. Also me. So, don't tell me I didn't kill.

On [Link: www.theworldvotes.org...] the whole world has been allowed to voice its opinion. Why shouldn't we be allowed to vote who gets to be the most powerful man in the world?

Only 86% of respondents so far say that only Americans should be able to vote for their president. Hmmm.

I tell you, the world is gong mad! Mad!

An email I just received from a liberal, uh, buddy...

"As you all know, the unthinkable happened. The evil imbecile, the man who has been a disgrace to the noble office of the presidency has won the office he stole four years ago.

I had expected more of America. But I underestimated the now obvious fact that the majority of Americans are rubes, gun nuts, religious wackos, haters - and sheep ready for the slaughter.

It's only a matter of time now that the busher will appoint justices to the supreme court - then, ladies, your right to choose is in deadly
peril. It's only a matter of time before our pristine wildernesses give
way to the bulldozers. It's only a matter of time that our right to privacy gives way to Ashcroft and his fellow fascists. It's only a matter of time before our nation is bankrupt - sickening even more when you consider when the country was turned over to the busher, we had a nicely balanced budget and a huge surplus.

Of course we will continue on our path as the most hated, mistrusted nation (we don't honor treaties) in the world. Isolated in our total
arrogance. And the imbecile who dictates all that policy can't even
form two coherent sentences back-to-back.

Of course, the idiotic, useless Iraqi war will continue for years. If we were allowed to see them, the flag draped coffins will be coming back in
droves, tragically wasted lives. Mission Accomplished indeed. Osama
is still out there. Are we safer? Are you kidding?

My grandson, Alex, is fourteen. Once the busher reinstates the draft
(which is already in defacto effect), he will be in jeopardy of going over to the ongoing Iraqi debacle. I will not let him waste his life on the busher's folly. He will be very happy in Canada.

This nation is divided like never before. Thanks to the arrogance of the busher. If you voted for him, I will take no comfort in your ultimate
remorse, which will happen.

Somewhere Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, Truman - all the others who did honor to the office - somewhere, they have to be weeping. Look how far we have sunk.

I was born in Canada as many of you know. I only wish I could go back to the country that gives a damn about its citizens, not just the special
interests and the obscenely rich. I cannot, and never will,
acknowledge the busher as "my president." He isn't. He doesn't represent me - or half the nation for that matter.

I can almost hear the sounds of the jackboots now.

This is my last political missive. Hopes for a bright and exciting future are dashed. I am no longer listening to talk radio, news, or engaging in political discourse. As a gentleman once put it, "How can the two of us have an intelligent discussion when one of us is stupid?"
And I ain't the stupid one. So gloat away, neocons - your triumph is
hollow, and you will wonder what on earth you were thinking of. Shame.
Suckers.

Sore loser? You bet. But the nation is the greatest loser. And every time that smirking little bastard appears on my t.v., or I hear that weasely little voice, I won't be able to get to the remote fast enough.

Screw it. I'm going to go read the sports section and the comics.

God bless America. God help Americans."

A nice little quote from al-Reuters from a cute, cuddly little group called 'Hamas' who are 'fighting Israel':

World comes to terms with Bush win

Sami Abu Zuhri, of the Palestinian group Hamas which is fighting Israel, said: "We urge the new American administration to reconsider its positions ... Until they (do so) we will continue to regard the U.S. administration as hostile to our Arab and Muslim causes."

Some choice comments from the BBC News site:

The voice of America indeed - but which America? How so many people voted for Bush is mind-boggling. An absolute disaster. This is a tragic day for our planet and for all of us, wherever we live.
Raymond Perrez, Toulouse, France

If Bush wins, as it seems now, we will have more problems. For the world it's a sad day. The conflicts with Europe will widen. And the hatred against the US will also widen. Just hope for 2008 and Hillary Clinton.
Peter, Gothenburg, Sweden

It is "almost" unbelievable that the American people have once again chosen to allow Bush control of power for another four years. I feel as though they have turned their back on the international community, that they have forgotten that the world is small place, where America's actions affect us all.
Jennifer, Canadian living in Munich, Germany

I am not a US voter but my wife is. It is unbelievable how many Americans voted for Bush again regardless their experiences from the last 4 years. If Bush wins again that is bad news for the rest of the world.
Christoph Thuemmler, Edinburgh, Scotland
I just woke up to find Bush in the lead. I feel physically sick. I wish I could go back to bed and get up in another four years.
Sarah, Brussels

Well it looks like we have to put up with another four years of Bush. I think that in a country like America, it was naive to believe that Bush would lose elections. I think most Americans approve of the arrogance that Bush portrays to the world. Today, I wish Soviet Union never disintegrated and there would have been some balance still in this world.
Let's hope Bush learns from the mistakes made in the first term and we get a more peaceful and balanced world in the next four years. Maybe just like Reagan, Bush would be less radical in the next term. What's funny, except for America, Kerry would certainly have won an election anywhere else in the world.

My wife switched on the TV this morning and as I was leaving for work a got a glimpse of Katic Couric. Talk about a long face - it looked like she just ate a salt sandwich. Listening to talk radio going in, it sounded like all of the MSM talking heads were despondent. O'Reilly said that Judy Woodruff looked like she was going to cry when she announced that Florida went to Bush. Rush said that late in the evening the constant refrain from the MSM was "Poor Kerry, he's going to have to count provisionals in Ohio", when in fact, other battleground states that were called for Kerry were much closer, and one could argue that Bush should count the provisionals there.

How anyone can argue that the MSM wasn't four square behind Kerry is beyond me.

Perhaps I will get really lucky here and half of the republican population of Indiana will get killed because they are nothing but KKK remnants and German american WW2 sympathizers, whom somehow get unemployment and welfare.
***
So many of us awoke this morning to find ourselves, along with half the country, believing that we are now living in a fascist state. How did this happen here, of all places? It is the religious right and money, money, money. Fear and the exploitation of fear. Now I am afraid, very afraid. Will Bush start persecuting people for their beliefs, above and beyond the patriot act? Will their be interment camps for dissenters? All of this is possible. Those of us acquainted with history know that it's happened before and it can always happen again.
***
How do you fight against a machine that decides you voted for someone else--and you don't know?
***

The republican fascists have won an illegal election.
If the majority of the people are Stupid, the election is null and the people require education.
[Note by Yankev: Presumably by force, ala the USSR, the Cultural Revolution and the progressive Khmer Rouge?]

***
Hitler "held his nose and entered the Reichstag". That Bush was/maybe elected in a vaguely democratic fashion is not the point. That American citizens can have their human rights suspended on a wim is.

***
Its Nazi history all over again these CATO-Rove-Bush quizlings has followed the script of Hitler and his fascist gang and taken America the most powerful nation in history It seems that using the scripts of successes as “Wag The Dog” and that of real history as “The Rise and Fall of The third Reich” has ended in the fall of the American Dream. If Americans cannot see the seriousness in this, the “Terrorist Acts” its Leaders mechanisms for human purring and ethnic cleansing are not too far behind.

it's funny that the reasoned debate from the left, and the mud-slinging comes from the gun-toting right.

Please note the pathetic repetition of their blueprint talking points in disprespect to those who support our President, and the way they treat his reelection as some sort of bizarre freak show by a well-trained monkey:

How Did He Do It?

It is time to redouble the pressure on the MSM. They need to either jump down from the LLL bandwagon or get out of the business of calling their propaganda news.

Sadly, I'm afraid that won't happen until about everyone over the age of 30 that works in the MSM grows old and dies...

From Little Lebowski -

The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner, jackholes. See you at the nuclear winter snowball fight.

From gg -

The majority of US citizens backs genocide of 100.000+ civilians in Iraq. The majority of US citizens don't mind that bin Laden, murderer of 3000 of their fellow americans, hasn't been caught, even though Bush promised, 3 years ago(!!!) that the people(excuse me, "Folks") behind 911 would be brought to justice. The majority don't mind that the man supposedly being the best protector of the homeland by being tough on terrorism, let 300 kilos [sic] of explosives disappear in Iraq. Etc, etc, etc. I think it's fair to say that the majority of US citizens are f***ing retards.

Also, someone named 69Dude calls for the assassination of the president, a quote which I will not reprint here.

All these people -- from Zinni to the streets of San Francisco to the mosques of Najaf -- think their dogpile on Bush is having some effect, a great mass uprising to throw the "neocons" out of office. Ha!

I hope the Demonrats come to the proper conclusion


1) The NeoCon controlled media like CBS and CNN did not do enough to expose George Bush's Hitlerian tendencies

2) Kerry didn't win because he didn't give the voters enough of a real choice. In an election between the Republican (Bush) and the Republican Lite (Kerry) they chose the Republican

3) The only hope the Democrats have is to reach out to all the people who have been oppressed by Bush and his corporate cronies. Hillary Clinton may not be liberal enough. At the very least, if Markos Zuniga is Constitutionally qualified, she should balance the ticket with him as Vice President. Cynthia McKinney would be another excellent choice

Now that the Republicans have said a mandate was passed by this election and they control all houses, when everything turns to shit, like it is apt to do when you are fighting a poorly planned and managed war, you guys won't be able to blame Clinton anymore. What is $75 a barrel going to do to our economy and how is Bush the divider going to be able to get other nations to supply us with oil without gouging us for it? Even Norway is getting in on the action and if you think those terrorists in Saudi Arabia are going to try and help, you are deluded. How many people will freeze to death this year because heating oil will triple?
I say it is looking great for a turnover in 2006 when the $600 billion Medicare bill comes due and we are living with $100 a barrel oil costs.

In my book, that's Schizophrenia.
I'll have to use my High MagicTM and suggest to her she needs help.


Speaking of books, is there anyone else that posts here that has studied the Rise of the Third Reich and how it was allowed to happen?

"Notice how all of the states that voted for bush are full of gun toting inbred idiots and the states that voted for Kerry were all the intelligent ivy league northeastern states"

That's right if you voted for bush you are an inbred gun toting idiot. That's funny I don't even own a gun.

Leftist American youth are much too indulged, self-absorbed and complacent to either vote or riot. They would rather just talk about it. Guess it's time to go back and sponge off your parents for awhile

Kerry, the Windbag Wuss of the Western World, is the epitome of all talk and no action. Time to go back and sponge off Mother Teresa for a while. Time to update your sporting wardrobe, clean your gun, pluck that goose...

DataLounge has a thread dedicated to information on how to emigrate to other countries!

In addition, here are some of the more dramatic snippets:

We now are Imperial America. Forget the United part or even the States part, we are now a colonizing imperial power.

The Project for a New American Century is upon us. If you are female or a minority, be prepared to have your freedoms further curtailed.

Prepare for perpetual war.

Prepare for more global hate towards us.

Prepare for environmental disasters.

Prepare yourselves.

and this:

I'm from (and this will be the last time I EVER say so) Ohio. Live in Chicago now. Ohio is a shit hole of fucked up people, mall hair, and ignorance. The enitre state is populated by nutjobs, wingnuts, cornholers, and shitheads. A pox upon it. May it cease to exist and roll back into Lake Erie, the mire from whence it came. I for one rebuke that entire state. FIE on you, Ohio. Fie on you I cast.

and this:

I'm looking at the glass as half-full. The onus is now on President Bush to end his term in this Presidency with honesty and integrity...otherwise he will be branded in history as the worst ever President.

I'm betting on a major terrorist attack and an entrenching quagmire in Afghanistan and Iraq and I truly don't think Bush can make it all work.


Ahh, yes, the loyal opposition, looking at future terrorists attacks as a "glass half-full" scenario. Charming.

243 THUNDER  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 8:18:49am

Clutching at straws. From the front page of the (UGH) Democratic Underground:

Bush is currently leading in Ohio by 136,221

If there are 250,000 provisional ballots outstanding. The highest number I've seen.

And 90% of those ballots are good, as they were in 2000. That leaves 225,000 votes.

If 85% of those ballots prove to be for Kerry, about the number that Gore got in 2000. That leaves us with 191,250, giving us a lead of 55,029.

If there are only 200,000 provisionals, following the same calculation would leave us with a lead of 16,779.

If the provisional ballots are only 175,000 that leaves us with a deficit of -2,346 that will leaves us in a position to get an automatic statewide recount.

Or, to put it another way, an automatic recount is triggered by a margin of 0.25% or between 13,000 and 16,000 votes

No schadenfreude. Can't gloat.

It isn't that I cannot gloat because I am too honorable, which I am, but because it is impossible to gloat when the election was about what is best for the country rather than just gaining power.

If you and I played a game of chess and I won, I could gloat because with the victory came the glory or a prize or bragging rights. A victory for me would be good for me and bad for you.

But the policies of the United States of America are not a game.

A GOP victory puts into action those policies which are better for all Americans, democrats and republicans alike.

If I didn't think that things like capitalism, democracy, and a strong defence were the best thing for everyone, not just in America but all over the world, I wouldn't be so strong a supporter of the right.

So I don't for a minute think that the millions of people who voted for Kerry lost.

No, they WON.

They just don't know it. They won despite their own efforts to hurt themselves.

From a New York-based web designer's list, where the rules disallow any discussion of politics (but never seem to be enforced when it's BDS politics):

I understand that it's pointless to give into hate, as Bush as done.

But I WON"T support the "president". EVER. It's one thing to unify, it's another thing to blatently disregard lies and the erosion of democracy.

The religious right are not people who are willing to budge an inch, to have discourse. The Bible is the answer for them.

But there are no concrete answers in this world, so while I will try my best to not let hate and fear erode my optimist to fight back, I WILL NOT support this President ever. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, the gloves are off, we have nothing to lose at this point after all.

Yup, you heard it right. Everyone that voted for Bush is a Bible-thumping savage, and it's wrong to take a strong stance on any subject. Unless the subject is how evil Bush is. LOL.

Some choice comments from the BBC News site:

The voice of America indeed - but which America? How so many people voted for Bush is mind-boggling. An absolute disaster. This is a tragic day for our planet and for all of us, wherever we live.
Raymond Perrez, Toulouse, France

If Bush wins, as it seems now, we will have more problems. For the world it's a sad day. The conflicts with Europe will widen. And the hatred against the US will also widen. Just hope for 2008 and Hillary Clinton.
Peter, Gothenburg, Sweden

It is "almost" unbelievable that the American people have once again chosen to allow Bush control of power for another four years. I feel as though they have turned their back on the international community, that they have forgotten that the world is small place, where America's actions affect us all.
Jennifer, Canadian living in Munich, Germany

I am not a US voter but my wife is. It is unbelievable how many Americans voted for Bush again regardless their experiences from the last 4 years. If Bush wins again that is bad news for the rest of the world.
Christoph Thuemmler, Edinburgh, Scotland
I just woke up to find Bush in the lead. I feel physically sick. I wish I could go back to bed and get up in another four years.
Sarah, Brussels

Well it looks like we have to put up with another four years of Bush. I think that in a country like America, it was naive to believe that Bush would lose elections. I think most Americans approve of the arrogance that Bush portrays to the world. Today, I wish Soviet Union never disintegrated and there would have been some balance still in this world.
Let's hope Bush learns from the mistakes made in the first term and we get a more peaceful and balanced world in the next four years. Maybe just like Reagan, Bush would be less radical in the next term. What's funny, except for America, Kerry would certainly have won an election anywhere else in the world.

From the fever swamp of Atrios:


This is the Revenge of the Confederacy here folks. Don't for a second think they forgot about getting their butts kicked in 1865. The only thing the Union did wrong was not applying the scorched earth policy to the entire bunch of traitorous dogs of the Confederacy instead of a little strip on the way to Atlanta.

Now we look at the map and see the Reddest of the Red in the very place that tried to back out of the Union. Don't delude yourself into thinking its over guns or god or gays. If so, either you've never lived in the South or you never read your history. In strip malls all across the south, cups of bad coffee and stale donuts are being raised to herpetic lips in victory over the North. And they earned it. They're hicks, rednecks, racists, and more but they are NOT stupid. We are, for not cutting their nuts off before. Give it a few years more though, and they're gonna give us another chance at it. The fools have allied themselves with the wrong side and will suffer more than the rest of us. The rewards of their Victory will be more bitter than that bad coffee being sipped and the real-world economic pain worse than the scalding hot rim of that chipped coffee cup touching those herpes-sore covered lips of theirs.

Not exactly a "fever swamp", but the "Votemaster" at www.electoral-vote.com, an admitted liberal, states on his site today:

One thing that is very strange is how much the exit polls differed from the final results, especially in Ohio. Remember that Ohio uses Diebold voting machines in many areas. These machines have no paper trail. Early in the campaign, Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell, a GOP fundraiser, promised to deliver Ohio to Bush. He later regretted having said that.

Could this portend the mantra of the next fours years, replacing the "illegitimate presidency" mantra of the past four years?

I remember reading that during the 2002 election if electronic voting machines were used to defraud an election, the way you would be able to tell is that there would be a mismatch between the exit polls and the reported vote.

Both Ohio and Florida make significant use of electronic voting machines. Both states went to Bush, even though exit polls indicated definite Kerry victories.

This election was stolen, again. Write about that, please.

The following are a few of my favorite letters from Americans to the UK Guardian in response to its effort to meddle in the U.S. election:


Guardian Letters

Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Each email someone gets from some arrogant Brit telling us why to NOT vote for George Bush is going to backfire, you stupid, yellow-toothed pansies ... I don't give a rat's ass if our election is going to have an effect on your worthless little life. I really don't. If you want to have a meaningful election in your crappy little island full of shitty food and yellow teeth, then maybe you should try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin, dipshit. Oh, yeah - and brush your goddamned teeth, you filthy animals.


KEEP YOUR FUCKIN' LIMEY HANDS OFF OUR ELECTION. HEY, SHITHEADS, REMEMBER THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR? REMEMBER THE WAR OF 1812? WE DIDN'T WANT YOU, OR YOUR POLITICS HERE, THAT'S WHY WE KICKED YOUR ASSES OUT. FOR THE 47% OF YOU WHO DON'T WANT PRESIDENT BUSH, I SAY THIS ... TOUGH SHIT!


Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it.


I just read a hilarious proposal to involve your readership in the upcoming US presidential election. At least, I'm hoping that it is genius satire. Nothing will do more to undermine the Democratic cause in Ohio than having patronising Brits wander around Clark County telling people how to vote. Just, for a second, imagine if the Washington Post sent folks from Ohio to do the same in Oxfordshire. I'm saying this as a Democrat, and as someone who has spent the last few years in the UK. That is, with all due respect. Please, please, be rational, and move slowly away from the self-defeating hubris.


Hey England, Scotland and Wales, Mind your own business. We don't need weenie-spined Limeys meddling in our presidental election. If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German. And if America would have had a president, then, of the likes of Kerry, you'd all be goose-stepping around Buckingham Palace. YOU ARE NOT WANTED!! Whether you want to support either party. BUTT OUT!!!


THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS HAVE SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS PROTECTING THE PEOPLES OF THE EU, AND WHAT DO WE GET IN RETURN. BETRAYAL, BETRAYAL, BETRAYAL. I HAVE BEEN TO YOUR COUNTRY, THE COUNTRY OF MY ANCESTORS, AND I KNOW WHY THEY LEFT. MAY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TOOTH CAPPED. I UNDERSTAND IT TAKES AT LEAST 18 MONTHS FOR YOUR GREAT MEDICAL SERVICES TO GET AROUND TO YOU. HAVE A GREAT DAY.


Keep your noses out of our business. As I recall we kicked your asses out of our country back in 1776. We do not require input from losers and idiots on who we vote for in our own country. Fuck off and die asshole!!!


In your plea to get your non-American readers to write to voters in Clark County, Iowa, you are correct that events in the US have had, and will have, effects on world events. For example, we have pulled your chestnuts out of the fire in two world wars that were occasioned by European diplomacy. Maybe you'd like a vote in which American president will oversee the next rescue. The next time you have elections in Great Britain, I shall endeavour to send names of your citizens to people in France, Iraq, India, the United Arab Emirates, Botswana, Pakistan, China and Argentina so that they may attempt to influence your election. It's only fair that everybody in the world should have a say in the selection of the prime minister.

omg - I might have had the same thoughts as some of these moonbats when I was er, about 20 - but sheesh, I grew up since then...

There is no conspiracy... there is no fraud... the people have spoken - democracy in action.

Anything else is fascism, which is what they are trying to 'stop'... maybe a few of them will grow up and take a long look at the mirror. Even LLLs can (hopefully) be saved.

This country is despicable.

I voted for Kerry, so don't blame me when we're all drafted to fight in a war with no true reason or purpose behind it. I don't want to hear any of the low life Bush supporters crying, pleading for their lives and for freedom once Bush's policies set in. How someone could support a murderer, a close-minded bigot who wants to take away Americans' civil rights... I can't process that in my mind. I have so much hate toward those who put him back in power that I can't even find the words to describe it.

This was a shady ordeal, a dirty election. It's blatantly obvious the numbers were tweaked. When the numbers in key states such as Florida and Ohio completely go against the exit polls, you know there's a huge problem.

I cried when the news broke. I cried and I cursed because I truly care about the wealthfare of this country, more so than any other person that I know. I read the news at least five times a day. At the very least. I am obsessed with politics and the media, and I am more than aware of what goes on behind the scenes in Washington.

When I heard the official news on CNN today I began sobbing and I said aloud, to no one in particular, "We're all going to die." And I truly believe that. May the gods have mercy on our souls...

Timing is everything:-)

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EXIT POLL: 93 PERCENT OF MUSLIMS VOTING FOR KERRY
Samplings in Ohio and Florida show overwhelming support

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/2/2004) - Preliminary results of an exit poll by a prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group indicate that more than 90 percent of Muslim voters are casting their ballots for John Kerry in today's election.

In that early survey of 537 Muslim voters, conducted by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), 93 percent of respondents said they voted for Kerry, 5 percent favored Ralph Nader and less than 1 percent said they supported President Bush.

The exit poll exceeds the results of a post-debate CAIR survey indicating that 80 percent of likely American Muslim voters planned to vote for Kerry. Today's poll results are also in line with the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections - Political Action Committee (AMT-PAC) endorsement of John Kerry. SEE: _[Link: www.americanmuslimvoter.net_...]

In the key battleground state of Florida, a CAIR sampling of 335 Muslims who cast their votes today or in early polling shows that 95 percent voted for Kerry and just 3 percent voted for President Bush. Ralph Nader received under 2 percent of Muslim votes.

In Ohio, a similar sampling of 222 Muslim voters showed 86 percent voting for Kerry, 4 percent for Bush and 10 percent for "other" or a third party.

"We are seeing an unprecedented level of voter mobilization by the American Muslim community in this election," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "I believe Muslim voters have come of age and will be a factor in all future elections."

Muslims from almost every state responded to the exit poll, with the most responses coming from California, Virginia, Texas, Maryland, Illinois, New York, Florida, and Ohio.

Surveys were faxed and e-mailed to Muslim individuals and organizations nationwide this afternoon.

In the weeks leading up to the election, CAIR launched a nationwide "Get Out the Muslim Vote" campaign that included phone banks in a number of election centers, distribution of Muslim voter guides and transportation services for Muslim voters.

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has 29 regional offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada.

I voted for George Bush today but yesterday that was not my intention. I was going to vote Libertarian. Last night, however, I became totally disgusted with the slanted liberal news media, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and all the "know what's best for the United States" that I decided to back George Bush today. I have had enough of all these groups that insist that they know what's right for everyone else but themselves.

Ok.. on msn.. they have this site... rush vs reality... and they are rabid Bush haters.. here are some of the comments made by them... way way too funny:

Personally, I'd just as soon Kerry conceded. He's down more than 3M votes nationwide, even though we all know that doesn't count.

GTL's Analysis of what happened:

1) We had a candidate from Massachussetts. In an awful lot of places, that's doom, no matter what. It's a sign of GW's disapproval ratings that Kerry still pulled 48% of the vote.

2) The Bible Thumpers turned out. The "Youth Vote" didn't. That probably should be reason #1. In 11 states, there were "Sanctity of Marriage" amendments. That's an issue that drives Christian Conservatives to near hysteria. They turned out in higher numbers than the exit polling models planned for, which is why I was feeling so much better than I should have been, about 7:30 last night. At the same time, "Rock the Vote" didn't rock anything. Around here, voter registration on campuses was marred by dirty tricks. Lines were long. The support Kerry needed to offset the BT's gave up and went home, or never went out at all.

more to come...

Classic post from Brian Nowhere, near the bottom currently:

We have this forum here on Kos and there are many other progressive sites as well
I love the poseur way that many lefties shun the "liberal" label for the more chic "progressive". I can do so, too: I'm not a conservative, I'm a "realist".

As I have expected, we are too soft for true revolt. We can't make it happen. Including me. I have a job, a wife and three kids. Saying "fuck my job" and protesting everyday is not even an option.
This is the best part. It sounds he just scored a 100 on the the essay portion of the neocon exam. If Shaleed has to worry about paying his mortgage, he's less likely to blow up free people. Help support the spread of democracy, instead of fighting against it b/c you don't like the president

We must have a really good stats guy. A guy who knows the law, a girl who is a statistics whiz etc. We need to identify and provide titles for these people.
LOL. Like the DNC doesn't have statisticians. And though the "Girl statistics wiz" is a nice PC inclusion, I'm guessing the poster's comrades are going to be none too pleased that he didn't make the "guy who knows the law" an African American bisexual transvestite. The lack of inclusion is glaring. And of course, providing these people with titles solves many, many of society's problems

[from one of his quotes]

That American citizens can have their human rights suspended on a wim is.

I hate it when evil Bushitler suspends my rights on a wim. Every time he does that, I have to take my rights and spray them with starch and put then in the dryer with one of those Snuggle sheets to get them back into shape. If Bushitler keeps going around hanging people's rights on wims, then I think social justice requires that every citizen be guaranteed a free lifetime supply of Downy. Oh, and a washer with a proper fabric softener dispenser, one of those that dilutes the stuff automatically and doesn't require the poor defenseless citizen to have to run to the kitchen to get a measuring cup every time their rights need to be knocked back into shape. After all, we're talking about the future of democracy here!

(Oh yeah, and those evil corporate Downy people should be forced by the EPA to grow their fabric softener organically. Everyone knows that fabric softener grown on a corporate mega-farm with Alar and hormones isn't good for the planet.)

She was devastated that the election was decided on "moral values". Rambling on how conservatives do not have the corner on moral values. The she said something to this effect - not verbatim ...

"And partial birth abortion, that's no issue. There are ONLY about 300 of those a year!"

THANKS TO THESE IMBECILES AND MISCREANTS--PASTY BREATHED CHRISTIAN FRAUDS, FAKES, AND PHONIES---WHO PREACH JESUS AND MOLEST THEIR KIDS, CHEAT ON THEIR WIVES AND HUSBANDS, LIE ON THEIR TAX RETURNS, INTIMIDATE DRIVERS OFF THE ROADS WITH THEIR SUV's--all of which contain a sticker or license plate holder about their wonderful Lord and Master Jesus and their son or daughter who is on the honor roll at this or that ChrIstian school.

Russell Wardlow has the following quote from kos:

Second, gut any Bush hopes for legitimacy. Find the places in Florida and Ohio and every other state where a plausible argument for Republican vote fraud can be made. It doesn't matter whether it did happen or not. What matters is if it can be plausibly alleged to marginal Bush supporters and to the media. We also have to let the issue go where it's implausible. Hammering on voter fraud where it's not at least plausible on that level is only going to hurt our credibility. We have to sink our fangs into Republican ankles and hang onto them for dear life on the legitimacy issue. We have to make him "Bush the only American President who was never elected" whether it's true or not.

Here's how I try to console myself:

Unless I get sick and need emergency surgery.
Or want to eat a hamburger without feces on it.
Or if I need to sue the restaurant that made me ill from serving me a hamburger with feces on it, and then get my left leg amputated when I go in to get my stomach pumped.
Or if I get arrested for my political beliefs.
Or if I want to live in a society whose laws are not derived from a twisted interpretation of the Bible.
Or if I want to watch a television station that's not owned by a neo-con shill.
Or visit a national park without an oil pipeline running through it.
Or pay less than $4.00 for a gallon of gas.
Or turn gay. (Don't get your hopes up, booley. )

Other than that, I, personally will be OK. Hell, I'm a business owner. I should get fucking RICH in the next 4 years.

It's the shrill, sanctimonious smug-a-thon that will follow for the next 4 years that really grates on me.

That, and the prospect of the Supreme Court packed with zealous fanatics to the right of Clarence Thomas, systematically depleting my rights and creating new "rights" for my mortal enemies.

we are in for a rough 4 years. Unlike Kerry who ask that we find common ground and work together as AMERICANS, it seems they want to divide this nation as much a possable. It is hard to comprehend citizens of this nation who put party ahead of nation.

Just a note to all countrymen from south of the Mason-Dixon line.

I'm born and raised until 12 years old in New England. Then moved to San Francisco for 10 + years and then Portland-Seattle for 10 more. I certainly grew up believing all of the Yankee/Left Coast stereotypes about "you people."

But over the last 5 years I have been traveling for work in the South (NC, VA, TX, OK, AL) and have learned firsthand that these stereotypes are a bunch of garbage, except for the more positive ones (hospitality, friendliness, etc.). I now listen fondly to someone speaking with a Southern accent - and frequently envy the practical common sense I hear expressed in a "Southern" saying. I agree with Fred Thompson now -the only people it is still politically correct to make fum of is Southerners - but don't tolerate it.


G-d bless y'all (and your Ma and them!).

Whoop. Welcome to the US. Only slightly less than half of us are delusional.


As for gloating not being nice?
No. I'm not going to be nice.
They weren't nice to me.

I was just reminded of something that happened Halloween.
We teamed up with the people across the street to hand out candy and toys.
A family of three came, all dressed as vampires, and we had candy and a little toy to put in his trickortreat bag, the dad gave my neighbor a dirty look, slapped the treats away, and dragged his kid away from us, hard, to the point where the kid stumbled on the sidewalk.
After a second of not knowing what happened, we figured it was because she was dressed in military fatigues, and was wering a tshirt that said,
"Right Wing Nut Job".
No one else slapped our goods away like that.

Meanwhile Edwards, slimey lawyer that he is is giving a snarking speech designed to assure us all that although the American people have spoken they clearly didn't know what they were saying. No, we need a lawyer to explain it to us. And we're gonna count every vote-Hey dude-it is over. You can count all the votes you want-what the hell-you're out of a job aren't you?

This isn't from the Internet but Chris Matthews and Katie Curic just completely insulted a majority of Americans. 1) Southerns and Christians aren't analytical. They just believe and follow. 2) Bush has no mandate. 3) There really are two Americas (basically a smart progressive America and then another for us dumbass Southerners and/or Christians.

#344 Atlas:

Just a note to all countrymen from south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Thank you. I'll let you in on a dirty little secret: We Southerners sometimes intentionally provoke the stereotypes when we encounter people like that. It's our way of screening people; we want to see who can get past any preconceived notions they might have and deal with us person-to-person. And, maintaining a rep as being a vaguely threatening area of the country tends to scare off those who are easily frightened, which we figure is to our advantage.

Plus, some of the stuff is just downright funny. You might be a high-tech redneck if:

* You have the modem in the trailer rigged to start the generator when the phone rings.
* You own an airplane, and it's painted black and has a big number 3 on the side.
* You buy a microbalance for more precise measurement of the moonshine ingredients.
* You have added the word "ain't" to the custom spell-check list in Word.

Comment From A Parallel Universe (actually it’s a typical one from the DU website). If anybody wants to study paranoia in depth, Kos & DU are FERTILE grounds this morning:
___

“Response to Reply #115
191. Send this to Michael Moore!

He's already collecting evidence of people being disenfranchised! Also, find a blog to put this up on - AND have a mirror site outside the U.S. If Bush really keeps the White House, some really nasty, Nazi-like shit is going down in this country! We've got to at least let the rest of the world know what's going on!”
___

Being a lawyer, I hate to see illogical statements. Didn’t this MOPE realize the whole world could see his rantings as soon as he posted them on the web? Ergo, why the need for having “a mirror site outside of the U.S. (presumably) to let the rest of the world know what’s going on?”

From the land of true delusional LLL kookery.

http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-hate-t o-say-i-told-you-so.html

Scott Lemmons sent this my way and I wanted to share it with you.

I Hate to Say I Told You So...

...but I told you so!

Now here's the thing. I'm already hearing a few people getting depressed out there (as well as a few people who aren't getting depressed). But you see -- winning this election is the worst possible thing that could happen to George.

From now on, when something goes wrong, he can't blame Clinton or Daschle. He went from a 90% approval rating to just over 50% (and let's be honest, it was a lot less than 50%. Diebold machines weren't working right, votes were being suppressed. Watch foreign media for the real story in a few days, though American media won't mention it for another four years). Nothing else good will happen to the Bushites. The economy will continue to tank. Soldiers will continue to be slain in Iraq and Afghanistan. The draft will get started up. Scandal will continue to dog this administration, no matter how much the media tries to cover it up. The Plame Affair, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Halliburton, Enron, Diebold -- more and more revelations will come out about this stuff, and the citizenry will not react well to them. The next time there's a terrorist attack, people won't rally 'round Bush -- they'll say, "Wasn't this the guy who campaigned that he'd keep us safe?" Bush's approval ratings will drop farther and farther and farther, and more and more people will start saying, "I wish I'd voted for Kerry."

I think, in two years, that Bush is going to lose both the Senate and the House. After that, I think he'll be impeached before the next election. By 2008, the GOP will be lucky if they can get a candidate who'll get 30% of the vote, and it'll be another two decades before they'll be able to convince the electorate to give them the White House again. Bush and this current incarnation of the GOP will be viewed as little better than the Dixiecrats -- wrong about everything and abandoned on the ashheap of history.

Take it from a certified prophet: we're going to enjoy the next four years.

The next four years were going to be hard on anyone who won. Let it be hard on Bush.

Isn't this the same prophetic vision the moonbats had on the day after the election in 2000 and 2002?

The moral high road was taken by each and every one of us who voted for Bush, not by pussies like you who want to make friends with people who hate us and, in some cases, want to see us dead. Since you seem to think it beneath you to vote, your opinion is utterly worthless as you failed to exercise it in a meaningful way by voting.


As for salt in wounds, which group has been insulting Bush in every conceivable way for four years, even going so far as to suggest his assassination. Do you think they are ready to heal any wounds? These people are NOT our friends, and don't want to be. If you're so fucking concerned about civility, go post at DU or Kos or somewhere else where they are advocating physical violence. But since you're too big a pussy to even vote, I really can't expect you to stand up to any of them over there.

Okay, it's not primarily a political blog, but still some entertaining lines over at BoingBoing:

BoingBoing readers are a good-humored lot, though. Some have suggested sending fecalgrams to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as an exercise of free speech. Reader Pete Setchell says, "There is still one chance to get him out of the White House - send him a pack of pretzels to celebrate his victory."

...

Reader Dave in the UK writes,

"As a British citizen, I just can't understand why. Does the British media unfairly portray Bush, or are more than half of American voters just fucking stupid? I write this as an appeal to BoingBoing - please, please help me understand how this could have happened, and why, why on God's earth would so many Americans support Bush?"

Presuming the elections were fairly conducted and accurately counted -- which remains a matter of some considerable debate -- I'm going with the latter.

...

"This country and this world are full of idiots. This country's idiots are just a little more cock-sure that they deserve what they've got. A lesson in humility is certainly on the way, and we can only pray that it will be no more painful than it needs to be."

...

Geek and new dad Glenn Fleishman tells BoingBoing,

"Today is the first day I am afraid in America because I am Jewish.

Today is the first day I fear for my new son, who is not, but has a Jewish father.

I'm lucky to live in Washington State, and specifically in Seattle. A haven of secular and broad-spectrum religious views in a sea of red. We went strongly, even among Republicans, to Kerry, and maybe I just won't leave this state much for the next four years.

sKerry made his "concession" speech. It was good. But as Powerline said,

"However, it seems to me that in the past, the losing candidate always had some kind words for the victor and would also express his support and future cooperation. Kerry didn't really do either of these things."

This still shows that Michael more and the MSM run the Democrats.

Hmm. Well, take a nice long look at the liberals. I know that not all liberals are that way, but as the years go by, I see less and less of level headed thinking. I am surprised at a number of the messages. They are showing their true colors: intolerant and hateful. Remember it. The Democrat Party has to change.

#252 EIDE_Interface 11/3/2004 10:22AM PST

I think someone mentioned earlier that the far liberal left is the new KKK. I agree. They have become what they abhor: racist, stereotyping, bigots that premote violence to resolve issues. The far left is now showing its true face and now the Democrats are being identified with it. It is always "race versus race", "class versus class", "rich versus poor", "religious versus secular", etc.

#262 Lightning_Man 11/3/2004 10:29AM PST

My impression of "the North" is that Southerners have always been stereotyped. I ran into the mentality when I lived near Hartford and later in Boston. I also ran into it some in Chicago. It was not "everyone was doing it", but it is surprising and not as uncommon as you might think.

I was cruising the BBC link given earlier.There's too many off the wall comments, but I chose a good one that was not off the wall:

It seems the world stands in shock as we re-elect a President they feel brings nothing but "horror." Maybe I can shed some light on why this may have occurred. The US truly is in a war mentality now and not because of Iraq. War has been declared on us and us alone. Our allies get some fallout, but we are truly the target. It was declared many years before Bush came into office and we just didn't listen. Now we are listening and many people feel strongly that our actions in Iraq will ultimately bring peace and sovereignty to (hopefully) the entire Middle East. No one knows how to fight this war. It all came down to trust and John Kerry just didn't win America's trust. Hillary won't either. The Democrats need a strong, solid leader if they want to challenge the Republicans in a time of war. They chose the wrong candidate this time.

OT

Anybody else notice this...

Yesterday when the exit polls were first announced and were overwhelmingly in favor of JF'nK and predicting a JF'nK landslide victory, the markets took a major turn for the worse. Some time later, when the exit polls were shown to be overinflated, the market corrected itself.

This AM, the markets opened sluggishly, with a great deal of caution, because of no clear winner in the election. Shortly after JF'nK conceded (I love saying that) to Gdubya, the markets TOOK OFF and have been improving steadily ever since.

This is from Skinner at DemocraticUnderground.com. "I honestly never expected that I would be posting this. Even when the campaign was going terribly, I was somehow able to remain optimistic that the American people would do the right thing. I couldn't let myself feel any other way; the alternative was just too depressing to imagine. But it looks like my faith in the wisdom of the American people was misplaced this time."

You see, the 58,919,348 people who pulled the lever for George Bush did so not as a result of informed choice, but of a propensity to do the wrong thing and a lack of wisdom. But it looks like my faith in the wisdom of the American people was misplaced this time.

I'm listening to / laughing at Randi Rhodes on Air America. I'm sooo glad that I have her to tell me the truth about what happened [choke, barf]:

1. "Republicans don't want women or blacks to vote."

2. She can't believe that Americans are "so stupid that they would vote against their own best interests."

3. "People are happy today if they belong to the party that cheated the rest of us out of our right to vote."

4. The whole election was stolen by Diebold voting machines. "It was more subtle than last time."

Followed by plenty of ranting about "four more years of religious fascism," impending "environmental disaster" etc. And then she says that the Repubs got their base to vote by "fear mongering." Hellooo...?

They're in total freaking denial. And it's too bad - the Repubs need to have a good opposition party to keep them honest and to offer an outside perspective. But the Dems are just disappearing up their own asses. They have absolutely no clue what's going on here, i.e. a majority of Americans sincerely disagree with them.

If you did not vote then you have no room to complain, especially in this election when both sides were screaming to vote. Plus, we had a record turnout. If you were not qualified to vote, then that is a different matter and know that voting is not a privledge to be thrown away.

The posts I see here are quotes taken from some raving loons. When confronting such insane comments, you cant help but laugh or cringe at how absurd some people can be. If someone states that, "I am sad about the results" then yes, people should not gloat. It is quite different when people start urging others to riot, speak of CIA conspiricies, etc. Saying such things are stupid.

When Clinton received a 1st and 2nd term, I along with many conservatives did not go bonkers, threaten to assassinate people, or urge people to riot. People like that were treated as nuts, and now, with this election, it seems like someone shook the pecan tree and caused all of the nuts to fall out into the open. See it for what it is instead of as some cliche act of "rubbing salt on wounds".

409 Fishlaw  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 11:37:56am

I love reading the stuff on this site. I just have one question for all the liberals who are going to riot. Since they don't believe in owning guns, what weapons are they going to use? I am somewhat out of step, being a NORTHERN, NOT INBRED (as far as I know) Bible thumping, right wing, heavily armed whatever. I appreciate the guy who said he loaded up 100 rounds of .357 last night. I bought 50 rounds of .44 yesterday for an upcoming mountain lion hunt, but they would work on rioters okay too, I guess...

I was hoping Springsteen's vote for Kerry tour would come near me. I wanted to ask him one question: Does your pa still own one of the World Trade Centers? (from his song "Darlington County")

410 POL_CAT12  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 11:48:59am

We have tried to be Republicans and it just doesn't work. Democrats need to study the Democratic party history and start becoming Democrats again. At least if we lose we will lose on principle instead of losing because we weren't enough like them. I could take that. Losing because we aren't Republican enough makes me sick to watch while we are trying to be like them but even sicker because we lost not being who we really are.

And where and how do I find a outlet for my uncontrollable rage at the stupidity and dangerous rightwing trend of this country? While punching a republican and/or disowning my Bush voting parents provides a small relief, I want to know what I can do to get on the ground floor of the revolution to save America for my kids.

Man, don't you just love this thread!

"Katie the south part of the country is different. People that don't live there don't understand. They believe there is WMD in Iraq. They are simple people. They are not analytical." -- Chris Matthews

What Chris is telling you is true Katie. Born in Georgia and raised in Alabama, I have known Southerners all my life. I am one. I grew up a dumb, clueless, good ole redneck boy, a card carrying member of the
"Southern Gun Culture" as you called it several years back.

Being Southern and therefore not very analytical, as Chris points out, I had a difficult time in school, especially with all those math and physical science courses like differential equations, thermodynamics, theory of structures and such.

It was hard, Katie, hard I tell you! But I finally graduated in the upper 1/3 of my class . . . which actually was no big deal since they were all a bunch of unanalytical Southern dumbasses like me.

After 4 years of working, somehow -- pure dumb luck I suppose -- I passed the test to become a professional engineer -- an amazing feat considering how unanalytical most simple, dumb ole Southern boys like me really are.

I can't help what I am, Katie, it's in my genes and culture. I would hope that you and Chris would understand that we regret we aren't as intelligent as people from other parts of the country, but we do try as hard as we can.

So I guess the reason I voted for Bush was due to a lack of cognitive skills usually associated with my "simple" culture.

But there is one thing that even dumbass, redneck dolts like me can analyze just by smell alone, and that is the stink coming from a couple of ignorant, elitist bigots like you two.

So analyze this, then tell us why Kerry really lost!

Good grief . . . if I didn't think otherwise, I'd suspect Matthews had been mixing his medications. (Come to think of it, he did just that while working for Jimmah Carter.)

Wow.

Why is everyone so obsessed with slavery again? At my college we had a bipartisan election-night party. There was a College Republicans table, and all of us were basically hanging out there the entire night because, while our college is 'less liberal than many others', it's still liberal. Anyway, all of the College Democrats and Students for Social Justice (for those who are too radical for CD) kept coming over and yelling at us that we were slavery supporters, etc. It came from nowhere--we were all scratching our heads and saying, "Um, did you miss the part where slavery was banned almost 150 years ago?" V. strange.

As far as LLL quotes, I'll include a couple from the signs that the College Democrats put up at the election party.

"Help is on the way: Vote Kerry/Edwards because we don't kill poor people."

"Kerry/Edwards 2004: Do you really think we can survive four more years?"

"Kerry/Edwards 2004: Because WASPy people suck." We actually complained and had this sign taken down because it was racist and offended us.

And no, none of these were parodies--neither was the American Communist Party 2004 sign that College Democrats put up.

And remember, my college is 'less liberal than others'.

Now she's going back to replaying her whining-loop about Florida in 2000. Now it's back to how "black box voting isn't a real election." Um, Randi, are you saying that the results in states where Kerry won are also invalid, since many of them used electronic voting? Damn, this woman couldn't debate her way out of a bag made of wet 1-ply toilet paper.

Here come the riots:

Not really.

As a noted English conservative journalist said recently (I wish I could recall his name--he was mentioned on this board), with the "progressives", it is always someone ELSE who straps on the explosives and goes to spread mayhem in the name of tolerance and diversity and the enviorment... as long, of course, as he does it in some far-away place and only kills people they don't know.

But progressives actually doing something that will risk THEIR stuff and risk disorder in THEIR hometown? Too much work. Too much risk. Let one of the disposable 3rd-world darkies do it, in some far-away land.

This sort of thing, of course, is why I always found the "progressive" attitude deeply racist. It is based on one basic idea: WE ARE BETTER PEOPLE THAN YOU ARE, SO WE DESERVE COMFORT AND SECURITY AND PROSPERITY WITHOUT ANY RISK OR EFFORT.

429 the_casual_observer  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 12:38:30pm

I just had to come back this evening to this thread and add in this nugget of brilliance extracted from the LA Times...

"Exit polls gauging voter sentiment showed that though he continued to enjoy overwhelming support from his conservative base, he had made only limited progress at expanding his reach among voters beyond it. Just as in 2000, Bush on Tuesday mobilized a massive coalition of culturally conservative Americans, centered on married families, rural voters, and people who own guns or attend church regularly, according to a nationwide Times exit poll of voters leaving polling places."

Hang on here, left coaster...I thought there is currently a big brew-haha going on precisely because the exit polls missed these folks!!! Whatever exit poll you think you're referencing would never have put Kerry falsely ahead if this were true. (Lay off the kool-aid that allows you to rewrite facts.)

Yes, perhaps the President did get "overwhelming" support from folks with these particular attributes. However, after the Couric comments above and this one, I can only conclude the so-called "liberal media elite" honestly suffers from a tremendously myopic view of who actually occupies the other 98% of the landmass of this nation.

I am actually quite libertarian in social views, lived most of my life in suburbs of big cities, don't own any guns and get to church mainly on holidays and weddings.

But, my parents imbued me with a sense of self-determination and God blessed me with talents that enabled considerable success. My life has flourished under our free-to-choose society and free enterprise system and I, logically, am therefore, quite fond of this nation and wish to do what I can to protect it.

Voting for a President/CinC that will help me protect it is a relatively easy decision. And I can't imagine that I am a rare American.

Wake up and smell some real coffee you myopic idiotarians or you are doomed to continue to get it wrong, both in news analysis and in selecting viable candidates for the Presidency.

430 kevin the ox  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 12:39:12pm

Part of it all is the sinking realization that they don't represent the majority, that their attitudes, opinions, and agenda are simply not winners among the majority of the nation's voters.

One thing that has always gotten me. The USA isn't a democracy, it's a republic. Being of the Democratic party is innately non-realistic. Being of the Republican party is innately realistic, as that's the form of government this is. Why should one be surprised that someone so foolish in choice of party is not also self-deceived in worldview, and willing to be self-deceived concerning the realistic party?

But in the end:
NYAH NYAH NYAH!!!

They're hicks, rednecks, racists, and more but they are NOT stupid. We are, for not cutting their nuts off before. Give it a few years more though, and they're gonna give us another chance at it. The fools have allied themselves with the wrong side and will suffer more than the rest of us. The rewards of their Victory will be more bitter than that bad coffee being sipped and the real-world economic pain worse than the scalding hot rim of that chipped coffee cup touching those herpes-sore covered lips of theirs."

I have a great idea - a "win-win" proposition if there ever was one. Encourage all left-wing socialists and communists to move to Canada NOW (the sooner the better). They will feel right at home up there and we will be able to focus on all the truly important tasks at hand.

Carolina Girl,

I nearly spewed my coffee reading your post - ROTFLMAO!

You nailed it better than I could ever have dreamed of doing.

"WWADRD?

Dear Friends:

If the shoe was on the other foot, What Would a Dumbass Republican Do?

Get depressed?

Get down?

Feel defeated?

Go away?

Refrain from being an obnoxious pain in the ass, 24/7?

Temper his sense of righteous entitlement?

Mute his howls of indignation?

Question his convictions?

Hell, no!

Here's what a Dumbass Republican would do:

Act like a winner in a world full of deluded losers.

Refuse to let the "facts on the ground" deter his belief in what he's got coming.

Drown out polite civil discourse by braying his unshaken beliefs like a stuck pig.

Refuse to shut the fuck up.

Refuse to go away.

Wrap himself in the flag and impugn the patriotism of any who would question his moral superiority.

Wear a big shit-eating grin that gives the other side just a moment of pause as they lay their heads on their pillows at night.

Have a glint in his eye that says, "I may have a shit-eating grin on my face, but I'm just waiting for an opportunity to slip this knife in."

See this not as a defeat, but as an inconvenient mistake.

Friends, join me.

Do not accept.

Do not waver.

Do not shut up.

Do not give comfort with your distress.

Be an unrelenting irritant.

Be a dumbass.

Right now, attitude is everything.

Together, we can help each other bear the present while shortening the time - and it will come - when we prevail."

Why do I feel like it's germany in the 1930s and I'm watching the party rise to power again?

Actually, Hitler won for the same reason that both Clinton and Allende won their respective elections - multiple candidates running, with no provision for runoff elections. Hitler and Allende both received about 30% of the vote in their respective elections.

460 Da Possum  Wed, Nov 3, 2004 4:55:07pm

Perhaps the most chilling things I have read today have concerned the complete disregard for the Southern States, particularly those of us in "the old Confederacy", as so many hatemongers have enjoyed calling it.

Maybe these folks should have listened a little deeper to what Zell Miller was trying to tell them a while back. The MSM and dozens of others sources have been busy trying to destroy the credibility of the deep south for so long that they actually believe their own BS. Facts have never gotten in the way of political gain or a shot at skewing outside perceptions.

I hope they don't start paying attention now. I hope they actually remain as blissfully ignorant as they currently are because: 1. It has always been our ace in the hole, 2. I really don't like the prospect of having to deal with people who do not, cannot, and never will understand our culture and political intricacies down here patronizing us with their new found "appreciation" of southern views.

But if they do decide to drop on by, I will give them a few hints:

1. Southerners ARE willing to sacrifice their economic conditions for things they perceive as against their moral values, or as a move to institute another bureacracy. Not that anyone thought that this time, but even so, they still would do it. That has a great deal to say about how strongly OUR moral values contribute to our daily lives. Notice I said OURS. Most of us could give a crap less about anyone else's values.

2. We do not react well to threats. PERIOD. If you tell us how wrong we are, we will bust a damn gut to do the opposite, whether you are right or not.

3. We are, and hopefully always will be, the most independent people as a whole. We don't want you to help us, thank you very much, we can do it on our own. That is the key to OUR vision of being an American. We don't want or need a nanny/government/weepy mother figure to take care of us. We somehow still trust that we can find solace in our neighbors and in God when times are bad. Tough times don't last, tough people do.

4. We don't forget things easily, and we do keep score. At least when it comes to those we consider outsiders. YES, we do remember the War Between the States. Politically, we think we got a real shitty deal there. Yes, we still hold a small grudge. NO, you can't make it better.

5. We find the constant rummaging around in old film files for Civil Rights Movement footage annoying when you want to deal with us on modern issues. We aren't stupid enough to think that there is only racism in the South. When was the last time Birmingham, Atlanta, or New Orleans was burned down in a race riot? How about Chicago, New York or Los Angeles? Yes, most of our ancestors were deeply racist. SO were yours. Ours were at least honest enough to admit it. It is especially nauseous when the whole purpose for dragging out slavery or civil rights only comes up when you want us to feel guilty and give you something, or when you are attempting to nullify our voice by branding us as racists.

6. Our best kept secret...We aren't really uneducated. Perhaps when it comes to passing standardized exams we don't rank as highly as some regions, but we are FAR more intelligent than you think. Furthermore, unlike the average idiot out there raised in the wilds of Urbania, we have a great deal of common sense to go along with all that education. At least we used to have more. I forsee a decline in this area as we become more urbanized here.

7. We go to church. We enjoy hunting and fishing. We buy, and know how to use guns. We aren't open to debate about our inner child or how we can empower ourselves or others. We aren't very fond of giving other people our hard-earned money. We don't put creedence in actors or musicians. We really don't care what a "metrosexual" is. Honestly, truthfully, most of us really don't care if you like us.

There...I had to say it. I call them like I see them. Of course it is only the mindless discourse of an inbred, uneducated, redneck Alabamian.

I barely even scratched the surface m'dear. That was probably within the first 10 - 20 comments of an almost 500 comment thread. Why bother to continue at that point?

I know, I know - we're accused of the same thing right? I mean we're the baddies, the nazis, the fascists who utter, non-stop, the phrase "Newk Macca" (spelling changed to elminate one more return on the search). We're the ugly, nasty, ill-tempered cretins who wish death on those who have sown so much love and good will. You know, like Yassin or Saddam or Yassir (DIE already D*MN*T) Arafat.

I can't believe I read this entire thread, it's like an extreme exercise in masochism. Now I need to go read a happy election celebration thread before going to sleep...

When I see moonbats ranting about "getting personal" and "by any means" it reminds me why I have a gut instinct not to come out of the conservative closet at work in Taxachusetts where I'm surrounded by moonbats. I literally don't want to be targeted - not physically, but for ostracism and dirty tricks.

The following was my favorite quote -- wins hands down in the Loony Logic category:

Smaller government means the government has total power to arrest, detain and keep you in jail without a trial or even charging you with a crime.

Amazing how downsizing leads to "total" power. I'm going to have to popularize that idea at work - maybe it'll lead to record profits and a bonus.

NTropy, according to Atrios & Co., it's perfectly acceptable to hate and threaten violence as long as the people you're threatening are Jewish or Christian and preferably white. If not, you're a racist!!!. Never mind that the greatest crime is voting in a direction they don't agree with. That is justification enough to want someone dead. They really aren't worth the bother.

That's right if you voted for bush you are an inbred gun toting idiot. That's funny I don't even own a gun.

Hmm... I don't get it either. I'm an Ivy Leaguer from a northeastern state, but I own a gun and voted for W. I don't think I'm inbred, but I'd have to ask my mother/sister/favorite aunt to be 100% sure...

I sincerely hope that the healing will begin. It's been 36 years since the lying bastard shamed our honor and trashed his band of brothers.

I really can't believe the stupidity and short sightedness of the Australian people. But I guess it is true, we get the government we deserve. We are a small minded, pathetic people, ruled by fear and self interest and so it should be we elect a government of the same.

If embryonic stem cell research is sooo "promising', why aren't wealthy private people or companies funding it?

First, let me say that my support was and is entirely for Bush. The reason? Because he, more than any Dem, understands the true threat to the world today, and he knows how to deal with it much better than any Dem would. 9/11, 3/11, Israel, Bali, Philipines, Russia, Taba, Kenya, southern Thailand, Al Queda, Hizbola, Hamas, etc... all have one thing in common that the Dems will never acknowledge because it is politically incorrect to do so.

However, on other topics, I admittedly do not agree with Bush. One of those topics is stem cell research. Mapping out the human genome and breaking the DNA code are not things to be taken lightly. It is, or could lead to, the greatest scientific discovery of our lifetime (perhaps many lifetimes). A cure for cancer, for AGING, for MS, etc. are right around the corner.

Your statement that wealthy private people or companies are not funding stem cell research is erroneous; biotech companies have enjoyed tremendous financial support. The problem is with a law that limits their ability to research.

Sorry, but a world where we live disease free into very old age is very appealing to me and, with stem cell research, on the horizon; and I weigh more favorably on that side than I do on the side of any religious objections thereto.

476 ArtVandelay  Thu, Nov 4, 2004 4:34:21am

Blog post at democrats.com, with my running commentary:

The reason Bush is where he is is due to the media machine the GOP has created. The have total control of talk radio [for a reason], they have the #1 cable network (Fox News) [for a reason], they have managed to turn the more liberal networks into pro-republican networks [which ones would that be?] by writting letters and threatening boycotts. Look at the power of Sinclair in running the anti-Kerry program all through the south and preventing the showing of Nightline's tribute to the troops.

Given this much media power, they have the ability to brainwash most of the nation into thinking Democrats are the the enemy of America. It's a 24/7/365 bombardment of the American people.

We will not be able to compete until we improve our media penetration [that's true - I looked all over the place for a newspaper or television report about why Bush was a bad guy, but couldn't find one to save my life]. Air America is a great start [is he serious?] but we need more cable news networks [now I know he's kidding] and liberal talk shows on the radio.

We also need to do a better job boycotting companies who advertise on shows like Rush Limbaugh. We are 50% of the nation, at a minumum, we can run these companies out of business if we get together on this. [The Democratic Party - protecting free speech unless we don't agree with it.]

It's the GOP propaganda machine that we must destroy. The rest will be easy.


Too many of these folks can't distinguish between news reporting and social/political commentary. I want fair and objective reporting of the facts from my news sources. Don't wave the flag of a particular party and call yourself a journalist, please.

Perhaps we should give Katie Couric a little break. After all, she just broke up with her boyfriend a few weeks ago and had such high hopes of the Bush era coming to an end, she is more than a little distraught.

Sir, never have I heard put more eloquently the values of the South. Finger-pointers will never understand our sense of personal responsibility, our sense of pride in our country, and our love of family and community. To academia, we are forever rednecks, racists, gun-loving NASCAR fanatics. But we also discipline our children, teach them to do their best and keep their promises, stand tall when you're right and apologize when you're wrong.

And our manners. They do love to mock our manners. I guess when you don't have them, it does make for a good joke. But I'll tell the northern libs this - if you were strolling in downtown Savannah, and someone made an indecent remark to your child or wife, ten strangers would demand an apology from the individual before he was allowed to depart. We know that please and thank you goes a long way. Our children address adults as sir and ma'am, and they NEVER use a first name for a woman without preceeding it with "Miss" and only then after having been given permission to do so. Call us old fashioned, but it's served us well.

And by the way - we respect our elders. We take pride in our "eccentric" aunts and uncles. Yes, we're out of step with the rest of ya'll for sure, but we like it that way.

And those of us under the age of 60 long-ago rejected the lures of White Power and racism. We saw the Klan for what it was and give them no quarter. We can't fix it overnight, but we're trying - and each generation is making it better.

Again, sir, thank you.

It seems as if the moonbats' reactions to the election fall into two broad catagories:

1) Diebold/Karl Rove/Republicans/Corporations "stole" the election.

2) The American people are a bunch of moronic, Nazi, Bible-believers.

The Left got a lot of milage in 2000 out of the "stolen" election charge because of the closeness of the election, Gore winning the popular vote, and the Supreme court decision. But this year such a charge is about as credible as asserting that a UFO stole the Kerry ballots.

The LLLs who instead insult the American people at least realize the truth that the LLL has been rejected by the electorate.

I was always told to look on the bright side of everything. What if Bush gets re - elected. It doesn't seem like there is a bright side (unless you are rich or brainwashed by religion). Here's one. If Bush is re-elected, then, Hillary will be a shoe-in in 2008. Then again not even a fine president like her would be worth 4 more years of Bush.

There is no possibility of 'quid pro quo' with a right wing extremist like Cheney, a defining member of the Bush Regime. Such people demand to gain 100% of their agenda but refuse to give an iota in return.
That type of posture could still bring on a disaster far larger than Iraq for the US and the world before the end of their term on January 20, 2005. If the Bush Regime is re-selected through election sabotage by the Supreme Court a second time, such a mega-disaster is guaranteed to occur.

I'm sick of all these comments about people being so shocked that Bush won. They can't believe that so many people came out to vote, yet Kerry lost. They say the election was fixed - well, here's another explanation - PEOPLE WERE WAITING IN LINE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY VOTED FOR BUSH AND TO KEEP KERRY OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!!! Not everyone who waited in line was there to vote the all compassionate Kerry into office. I waited for hours to make sure I voted for Bush. The irresponsible actions of POP stars stepping out of their domain to voice their opinions in politics and brainwash teenagers was my motivation. For every Bruce Springsteen 'Vote For Change' concert, I know scores of Republicans that organized programs to drive registered older republicans to the polls. There was no way in hell I was going to sit by and let our country be run by Kerry.

TERESA HEINZ KERRY WAS BORN TO BE FIRST LADY!
TERESA HEINZ KERRY WAS BORN TO BE FIRST LADY!

I got a newsletter last week from an astrologer (Roxanne Carol) who had a great article comparing the charts of Laura Bush and Teresa Heinz Kerry (wanted to link to it but she doesn't yet have the article online). The bottom line is that Laura Bush will be changing directions as of Nov. 3.

As for THK, here's what Roxanne said:
===
"Teresa’s progressed Moon in her fourth house also indicates a change of residence. The transiting moon entering her fourth house the day after Election Day is yet another indicator of a move. On Election Day Teresa will have Venus conjunct Jupiter exactly on her Mercury, which indicates “Good News”. Only 2 weeks later Jupiter will conjoin her Sun bringing to her a “wish fulfilled” and beginning a new cycle of expansion and abundance in her life. Transiting Mercury will be passing over her Venus and North Node, which indicates a shift in power in her partner’s life. John Kerry wins the Presidency. Teresa’s progressed Mars is now at 29 degrees of Libra in her 7th house of partnership. This indicates a completion and turning point for her marriage partner which will also bring a sense of mastery to her in terms of Libra diplomacy.

Do the stars indicate that Teresa Heinz Kerry will be the next first lady? Absolutely Positively!"

===
So, blog buddies, not only does John Kerry's chart indicate a win, so does his wife's! HOOO-RAAAH!

This little tidbit just turned up in the DU forum. It's about Michael Moore's "concession" today:

he's bummed like the rest of us, but unlike most of the rest of us, he's got a reputation to uphold as a filmmaker that he doesn't want to possibly blow it by looking like a conspiracy theorist. either that, or he actually thinks kerry lost.

LMAO!!

Michael Moore doesn't want to look like a conspiracy theorist

ROFL!!

Michael Moore is more in touch with reality than this person because he actually thinks Kerry lost!!

LOL!!
