Attack Of The Koslings

With the eyes of a kestrel, we've been watching the Kooky Kult of Koslam react in horror over how Osama bin-Dead Man Walking is pandering to Nutroot Nation.

Rest assured, extreme joy doesn't even begin to describe my reaction to his co-opting of al-Goracle's 'global warming' cash cow, along with the talking points of the Kommandante's Kooky Kiddyz.

So, the Koslings are going all out in an effort to salvage their claim to being the sole and rightful possessors of Stalinist groupthink, the True Guardians of the Faith. However, instead of attacking the bearded guy in the white dress for his deliberate affront to Koslam, they choose to sling their wet panties at someone who merely restated the obvious.

WSJ's James Taranto Confuses Daily Kos With the Bush Administration

The Wife of Bath caught this tripe from James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page:

Back in the 1930's a young liberal journalist named Allan Cranston published a translation in English of Mein Kampf, Hitler's manifesto, because he wanted to alert people to the dangers of Nazism. These days when America's enemies speak, young liberal journalists cover their ears and go "la la la la la," they don't want to hear it.

In case anyone was wondering how I go "la la la la la, I don’t want to hear it," it’s by posting an 1,800 word piece on Daily Kos.

Just 1,800 words? Dahlin'? Just how in Hell can you hope to present a valid argument with a mere 1,800 words? No small wonder your message just rattles around within the neo-coM echo chamber. And you expect to be taken seriously?

Taranto went on: Why don't they want to hear it? Well, you look at this bin Laden tape which was transcribed and put up on the web, and he sounds like a blogger for the Daily Kos. He sounds like a typical angry left American.

Well, I don’t remember anyone at Daily Kos ever writing, as bin Laden said in his tape released the other day, that "[t]here are no taxes in Islam, but rather there is a limited Zakaat [alms] totaling only 2.5%." But maybe Taranto has a link to show us which piece at Daily Kos included that message.

Well, komrade, do you not understand what sounds like means? Nice example of why so many people support the idea of school vouchers.

He expresses his admiration for Noam Chomsky and Michael Scheuer, who are kind of crackpot leftist authors.

Well, it’s interesting that Taranto characterized Scheuer as a "crackpot leftist journalist," which I never realized is a euphemism for the guy who created and headed up the CIA’s bin Laden unit from 1996 through 1999. And apparently Taranto believes one would have to be a crackpot leftist to have wanted to kill bin Laden in 1998 (a plan the 9-11 Commission discovered was overruled by CIA Director George Tenet, whom Bush awarded the Medal of Freedom).

Whine, whine, whine.

So, I think it makes these liberal journalists very uncomfortable, that he sounds so much like them...He’s trying to divide America by turning left against right, but in fact, all this does is embarrass the left, the people he sees as his allies."

And because the truth hurts s-o-o-o bad, the whining goes on and on.

Reality Strikes Again

A Kosling doesn't get it.

John Dingell (D-Michigan) and Rick Boucher (D-Virginia) are divisive, obtuse, arrogant scumbags, pure and simple.

These two men are the prime movers behind a bill in the House Energy and Commerce committee, of which Dingell is the chairman and Boucher a subcommittee head.

Why is it always your friends who screw you over the hardest?

Maybe they believe that Koslamistan is inhabited by divisive, obtuse, arrogant scumbags?

I think it's about time both of these men got a serious shot of reality. Obviously, neither of them represent constituencies remotely reflecting the average DKos member, but surely, SOMEONE out there must be able to mobilize voteers in those respective districts.

This I cannot believe... what could both of these people be thinking? This bill not only wipes out any state efforts to fight global warming, but in a fine Republican twist, also forbids the EPA from doing anything to sanction those efforts by granting waivers that allow those states to cut their emmissions.

Democratic candidates mouthed all of the buzzwords the reality-based community demanded to hear.

Guardian Weighs In On Danny Glover's New Best Friend

Whoever it is that's doctoring the water at al-Guardian, keep up the good work.

The closure of Venezuela's popular, independent television channel RCTV signals a move towards authoritarianism for Hugo Chavez's regime.

I'd call it confirmation, but al-Guardian has taken a step in the right direction.

For the past week Venezuela's streets have filled with rage against the demise of a television channel. Thousands of university students have taken to blowing whistles, banging pots and playing air raid sirens. Barricades have been erected, fires lit and rocks thrown. The police have responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and mass arrests. Around the world, watching the bedlam, governments, commentators and activists have wondered: is President Hugo Chavez crushing free speech?

But . . . but . . . he's a Hero of the Revolution and . . . and . . . he was so-o-o-o nice to Mama Moonbat, too!

It is an explosive question. If the answer is yes, many of the social progressives who embrace the Venezuelan leader as an exciting and charismatic challenger to George Bush would be disillusioned. If the answer is no, they can take heart that their champion's democratic credentials remain intact and that his revolution is on track.

The Chilean senate, the European Union, the US administration and a host of non-governmental organisations, such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders, have expressed varying degrees of concern about the implications for free speech in Venezuela.

What? No Media Matters? Papa Soros won't allow a second front group to go against Komrade Hugo??

The tens of thousands of people who demonstrated in the capital Caracas and several other cities tended to put it more strongly. "We have to make a stand," a teenage girl shouted in Plaza Brion, her face coated in sweat and grime from a smouldering barricade. "Otherwise we're on the road to communist dictatorship, to Cuba." The staff of RCTV were just as dramatic. "This is the end of democracy in Venezuela," said Moirah Sanchez, a lawyer for the channel.

But just as you begin to believe that al-Guardian is serious about ridding itself of nitwits . . .

But its fate should not be equated with democracy's. Chavez has won three consecutive landslides since being elected in 1998 and remains extremely popular, largely for converting oil revenues into cheap food, free medical care and other social programmes aimed at the poor majority.

Nonetheless, Koslamistan's Propaganda Ministry is silent.

As is the DNC, Shrillary, Obama, Kucinich, Schmuck Schumer and presidential front-runner Ron Paul.

Attention Truthers

Here's something for the Kooky Kult of Koslam to go into denial about.

Philippine troops defuse bus bomb after U.S. Embassy warning

The bomb — black powder stuffed in a pitcher with steel fragments for deadlier effect — was hidden in a backpack on a bus where it was hastily abandoned by two men late Sunday in southern Maguindanao's Talitay town, regional army spokesman Lt. Col. Julieto Ando said.

Panicking passengers grabbed the bag and hurled it outside the bus. Police and army experts later defused the bomb, which was attached to a timer and batteries but was not yet set to explode, Ando said.

A police investigation was under way to determine whether the foiled bombing was planned by al-Qaida-linked militants, or linked to lingering political wrangling following May 14 congressional and local elections, he said.

The volatile Maguindanao region, where Muslim guerrillas and political warlords hold sway, was hit by bombings and gun attacks because of intense political rivalries during the balloting.

"It's hard to pinpoint who left that bomb in the bus," Ando told The Associated Press by telephone.

Maybe someone working on orders from Karl Rove?

"We had our share of bombings, killings and gun strafing in the recent elections. It's impossible not to have those in an elections here."

We're waiting for leading presidential candidate Ron Paul to link this event to US foreign policy blowback.

Now That Mama Moonbat's A Back-bencher

The Kooky Kult of Koslam has a new Hero of the Revolution.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, a door was opened. For a moment in history, we had the chance to do something truly extraordinary. But instead of looking at this as a chance to lay down a heavy burden, too many saw it as an opportunity to pick up a crown. Rather than having no "superpowers" in the word, we decided there would be only one. We saw it as an opportunity to break old treaties and push past old limits. With that decision, the "end of history" became the opening pages on a new, but equally frightening chapter.

America Amerikkka is eeeevil. Check.

Putin said Thursday that tests of new Russian missiles were a response to the planned deployment of US missile defense installations and other forces in Europe. Russia has not bought the argument that the US system is aimed elsewhere.

In a clear reference to the United States, Putin harshly criticized "imperialism" in global affairs and warned that Russia will strengthen its military potential to maintain a global strategic balance.

Putie says it's so, thereby establishing an infallible truth. Check.

At the end of World War II, diplomats from the victorious Allies knew better than to repeat the errors that had ended World War I, but simultaneously ensured the sequel. Unfortunately, another forty years was enough to erase most of that wisdom. History may not repeat itself, but sometimes the echoes of the past are chilling.

So chilling that the echoes of the past being heard by the people of Central and Eastern Europe are the voices of their progressive liberators.

The time remaining before that door is completely shut may be sooner than we want to think, and we're not likely to soon see another opportunity.

The reality-based community embracing a delusional paranoid.

Priceless.
