Oh the… ummmm… humanity?

Thematically appropriate threadjack.

Orly loses again. I know, what a shock. This case included (among other things) a RICO claim against Michelle Obama, Hillary and others for conspiring to participate in identity fraud

@Walking Still: What is the atmosphere composed of on her planet, fucking nitrious oxide?

@Walking Still:
Orly = Wil E. Coyote minus the Wiley part.

Dr. Paul is a OB/GYN. Now that’s unnerving. That gives me cramps thinking about it. Son Rand has a license to cut into your eyeballs. This family scares me.

@texrednface: I’d rather go see NBC company physician Dr. Leo Spaceman.

Ron Paul always reminds me of the neo-Nazi leader in The Blues Brothers. And I have little doubt that Paul is, at the very least, a vile racist-of-opprtunity (a guy who will leverage racism for political power) and quite possibly a commited white supremacist. That said, let’s not kid ourselves about Commentary or The Weekly Stadard’s motives in bringing this all up. These guys could give two shits about the black man’s plight in America. They’re all about pushing a hard-right, Likudnik extremist, AIPAC approved, neo-conservative agenda, and Ron Paul’s entirely sensible desire to reevaluate U.S. interests in the Middle East scares the shit out of them.

Of course, given Paul’s dabbling in fringe, far-Right extremism, it wouldn’t surprise me if he were secretly a genuine Protocols of the Elders of Zion believing anti-semitic extremist, also.

So watching Commentary and the Weekly Standard attacking Ron Paul is like being witness to a mob hit. You know that even though a vicious mob boss is lying on the floor, twicthing his last in a pool of his own blood, somewhere else another vicious mob boss just consolidated his power.

@Serolf Divad: Regardless of the source — and I don’t disagree about Dark Intentions — it’s a valid issue, similar to other issues that only arose when other candidates lifted their heads above the pack.

That is: If Ron Paul is a low-polling crank with no chance of winning a caucus or primary, he ain’t gonna get much attention. But if he has a shot at Iowa, that’s when the knives come out — just like they did with everybody else. The newsletter issue came and went four years ago because, well, it was only Ron Paul, and everybody was watching Mitt and McCain instead.

Here is an absolute must-read. Dazzling piece by Mark Lilla on what’s going on with the Republicans and our world.

As ever, the NYRB brings the shizz to ma shizzle.

@Benedick:

LOL:

During the 2010 congressional election campaign, Republican candidates (and some Democrats) were put under enormous pressure to sign the Americans for Tax Reform “Taxpayer Protection Pledge,” which obliges them to oppose any increase in the marginal personal or corporate tax rate, and any limits on deductions or tax credits that aren’t offset by other tax cuts. To date, all but six Republican representatives and seven senators have signed this collective suicide note, making the group’s president, Grover Norquist, nearly as successful as Reverend Jim Jones.

@Serolf Divad: Thus making the case for Grover to get Stinque’s Anal Pear award…
