Head KOmmie KOs blackmails Obama
"No money for you!" Head KOmmie KOs stomps his little foot and crosses his angry arms! He's giving Barack Obama NOT ONE D*MN DIME until B.O. starts talking like an Über-liberal again! Of course, ever since Barack Opossum wrapped up the nomination, he's been "moving to the center." And as we saw yesterday with the DUmmies, this INFURIATES the Nutroots! Today we take a peek at the KOmmies' displeasure, in this THREAD, "Rewarding good behavior." Head KOmmie KOs must have struck a KHOrd, because this diary has generated over 1,300 KOmments! WAY too many to DUFU, but we'll sample a few. So enjoy the early fireworks, exploding in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charlie Henrickson, wondering if Li'l Beaver will be Best Mammal at Charlie Crist's nuptials, is in the [Barackets]:
Rewarding good behavior
[AKA Blackmailing Barry]
So many of you are upset that I pulled back my credit card last night, making a last minute decision to hold back on a $2,300 contribution to Obama.
[And to think, Obama is only $2,300 away from winning!]
First of all, obviously Obama is a great candidate who is running a great 50-state race.
[I sense a "but" coming on. . . . Calm down, benburch, that's "but" with one "t"!]
But he's had a rough couple of weeks.
[Expect four more months of "rough," as Barry tries to fool non-KOmmunist America into voting for him.]
First, he reversed course and capitulated on FISA. . . .
[Did he switch to MasterCard?]
Then, he took his not-so-veiled swipe at MoveOn in his "patriotism" speech.
["Patriotism": Boo! MoveOn: Yea!]
Finally, he reinforced right-wing and media talking points that Wes Clark had somehow impugned McCain's military service when, in reality . . .
[. . . that's exactly what Weasely did!]
Maybe what looks like cowering to me is really part of that "moving to the center" stuff everyone keeps talking about.
[Cowerbunga, dude!]
But there is a line between "moving to the center" and stabbing your allies in the back. . . .
[Barack Obama has your back . . . with his blade in it!]
Obama is now clearly not looking much different than every other Democratic politician who has ever turned his or her back on the base. . . .
[All your base are belong to Opossum!]
Now I know there's a contingent around here that things Obama can do no wrong, and he must never be criticized, and if you do, well f*ck you!
[Head KOmmie KOs must have attended the Will Pitt School of Winning Friends and Influencing People.]
I respect the sentiment, but will respectfully . . .
[. . . say, f*ck you!]
I will never pull a Rush Limbaugh and carry water for anyone.
[You will never pull a Rush Limbaugh and appeal to enough Americans to get a $400 million contract, either. Oh, and btw, KOs, have you heard Rush "carrying water" for McCain this year? More like dumping water on his head!]
At the end of the day, I'm pretty irrelevant in the whole affair.
[KOs, you're vying for a Kewpie Doll there!]
It is what it is.
[But is the Obama birth certificate you posted what it is?
Now for a few of the 1,320 KOmments from the KOmmies . . .]
Stop whining. . . .
[It is what it is.]
I say good on Marcos. Right f*cking on.
[Power to the f*cking people.]
We're really small potatoes in the grand scheme here.
[I think of you more as curly fries.]
We have a dangerous fascist powerhouse in the military industrial complex that we're trying to shove from power. I personally would lie to defeat them.
[So, apparently, would Obama.]
raise hell but also raise cash. . . .
[Meanwhile, we'll raise McCain (albeit if only to defeat Obama).]
all McCain needs to do is not break the law, and Impeachment is truly off the table.
[They're already thinking about "Impeach McCain!" Unbelievable!]
I am so tired of all the fear-mongering going on here.
[Then go over to DUmmieland and check out the fear-mongering there!]
not one penny goes to Obama. . . .
[It's "Not One Penny to Opossum" Day!]
like giving a kid a toy BEFORE he cleans his room. . . .
[Go to your room, Barry, and I want to see it CLEAN, mister, or no allowance for you!]
what decade are you from?
[What planet are you from?]
He needs our assurance that we're good people and he's a good guy. So IMO that bond between us and him must be preserved. . . . For me, if he went back on his war pledges, his health care pledges, his restoring of reasonable taxes on the rich, then I'd feel differently.
[Well, guess what, Mr. Sunshine? Since you wrote that, Barry has gone back on his war pledges!]
how do you know Kos is not a millionaire?
[Maybe he is! Remember "blogola" and the chocolate fountain?]
Get off your f*cking high horse!
[Leave ben burch and his horse alone.]
Listen genius - ANAL REAMING NOT GOOD!!
[LEAVE BEN ALONE!]
Seriously Kos, grow the f*ck up. No really, grow the f*ck up.
[Does anyone else see the irony in that statement? And I thought KOmmieland was supposed to be more sophisticated than DUmmieland. . . .]
If Obama did everything you wanted him to do, he would not get elected. Sad, but true. He needs to move to the center a bit (or, what is probably the case - PRETEND to move to the center a bit).
[And YOU, my KOmmie friend Joan, you win the Kewpie Doll for today! Yes, Opposum is only PRETENDING to move to the center! You got it!]
SO, STFU, and stop crying in your milk already.
Oh bullsh*t. STFU yourself, Joan, you rude asshole.
[Feel the love.]
Well, folks, it goes on from there. This may merit a return visit. We'll see. But be on the lookout for DUFUable threads over Rush's big payday! Hey, that reminds me, maybe PJ is over hanging out at Rush's place. . . .

Ummm... Kos? Barry said he has campaigned in 57 states, so he has run a great 57 state race. Get your facts strait, Kos.
Amazing....the moonbats like Kos who run the party still haven't figured out that the party leadership and elected officials just want them to give money and shut the hell up. They just refuse to comprehend that Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the rest will only give them lip service, nothing more.
I'm hoping against hope that this is the year the moonbats finally go off and bring about the destruction of the Socialist Democratic Party they have created. It's way past due for that to happen.
Also, you should take a look at those 1321 comments (as of this writing) that are on that post. Remember, these are the brain dead moonbat guttersnipes who will be calling the shots if we the public don't vote against the so-called "Democrat" Party candidates.
"Amazing....the moonbats like Kos who run the party still haven't figured out that the party leadership and elected officials just want them to give money and shut the hell up." jerome
Kos runs the party but isn't listening to the "party leadership" who "just want them to give money and shut the hell up." I find this statement, though entirely typical, confusing. There seems to be some sublime difference between the Great Orange Satan, who runs the party, and "party leadership" which is the afore mentioned Kos. So...
Your a dumbass. But I do give you points for your somber, serious call to action:
"Also, you should take a look at those 1321 comments (as of this writing) that are on that post." The Glorious and Somewhat Demanding Goolsby
What? It'd take days! What do you do for a living? I'm not reading 1321 (and counting) comments anywhere. I don't care how freaked out you are. Liberal speak always freaks you wimps out anyway. And you've read them all? You're a brave man, jerome.
I'd be willing to bet a couple of bucks that the nutroots are going to be as steamed as the conservatives are by the time the voting commences.
Their disappointment with their candidate seems more palpable, and their ability to adjust less likely, but I still think they'll go for Obama, just as most of us will hold our noses and vote McCain.
There are only two horses in the race. You pays your money and you takes your choice.
I've chosen already. And I'm keeping my money. Financing more campaign is not in my budget this year.
"Liberal speak always freaks you wimps out..."
In reality, "liberal speak" is so incoherent, ill-reasoned, obscene and cacophonous that,instead of being freaked out, I'm left vaguely sea-sick.
I went over to see how Kayinsane was celebrating our nation’s birthday. The Stoooooooooooooopid™ and the Crazeeeeeeeeeeee™ were stratospheric!
are you feeling patriotic after all these years? I’m not.
Only a Patriot understands that the last eight years of the Bush Regime have been treasonous & traitorous and we’re the ones who get out the pitchforks & torches every time we see the face of Bush! Those who don’t understand this are the ones who sit on their couches day after day staring straight ahead, drooling down their necks, and watching Fox News. They’re called traitors.
The wingnuts are perfectly happy wrapping themselves in the US flag to cut off the blood flow to their brains, because as they go through their lives, their hatred for all Americans who aren’t pasty white & greedy like they are is so revealing
we liberals are hoping today you choke on your BBQ chicken. We’d love that! You wouldn’t know how happy our nation and the world would be knowing all the neocons died on the 4th of July!!!! Hell, I’m getting butterflies in my tummy just thinking about it.
neocons hate America. I bet one of them just fainted because he’s got the flag wrapped too tightly today in celebration. All right wingers are loyal to Hitler and the leader of Kurdistan/Uzbekistan
George Bush was never REALLY in the military. It was just a show and a cover by George H.W. Bush to keep his precious Satan-Spawn from serving in Vietnam. Did any reich winger serve proudly? Even Bob Dole got his injuries from throwing a grenade which bounced off a tree and exploded near him. Bah hahahahahahaha!
And my favorite:
Someone get McCain on the phone! Tell him we’re gonna shoot him down while he’s on his wife’s plane to see if he still got his Hero Mojo!
Time to hit the showers!

Really? Goddamn. It worked.
"Goddamn. It worked."
Not any more, before I surf the intellectual sludge of the DU, Kos, or (especially) kayinmaine, I take some Dramamine.
It works, especially if washed down with a good single malt scotch.
Anon 1:50 - I have a sinking suspicion that this election may have one of the lowest turnouts on record. And when that happens, we wind up with the results like we did after the 2006 elections. That will result in in a total disaster for the country as it will put Anti-American guttersnipes who think like Troglaman and completely clueless fools like the Obamassiah in charge of the government. If that happens, I guarentee you after four years of the Obamassiah, Jimmy Carter will look like a (EXPLETIVE DELETED) genius by comparison.
"It works, especially if washed down with a good single malt scotch." elrond
Doesn't everything? I brush my teeth with the stuff.

Goolsby Guttersniper
We're Americans too you guttersniping (great word), clueless, fathead lickspittle. As a matter of fact, anyone capable of turning on a TV might, just might, brand YOU the anti-American extremist since every thing you and your leadership have touched has turned to...
What's beginning to happen is totally American. Your kind are about to suffer an historic political defeat because you're all full of shit. It's that simple. America, not anti-America, will speak no matter who ends up President.
But, know what? It's not that you started a few wars, it's that they didn't get won. It's not that you didn't get tax breaks, lesser corporate restrictions, etc, it's that you completely fucked up the economy. You've had your chance. You're broken. You're so 'oil'. Your time is over. Expect it back in another 10 to 15 years when the Dems have gotten fat and corrupted by the (little stock tip for ya here) coming Green Industry. Cycle of life.
Amusing. KOS apparently doesn't comprehend that with the nomination in the bag, Obama needs to worry about his small change about as much as WalMart needs to worry about a DU boycott.
"Someone get McCain on the phone! Tell him we’re gonna shoot him down while he’s on his wife’s plane to see if he still got his Hero Mojo!"
I can't help but wonder what her position is on the Second Amendment. If it's what I expect, who, exactly, is going to be doing this shooting?
I'll just wait for Obamamessia to post his real birth certificate......
none of this will matter one bit since he is not a US citizen.....
thomas f,
Obama's birth certificate is a non-issue, a pointless diversion (as is his wife's "whitey" comment), forget about it. Concentrate on his real failings, gaffes and flipflops.
Why, elrond? They go directly to Obama's character, which is 90% of his campaign.
t-man, you really love throwing red meat around! LOL!
BTW, it isn't just Republicans who have been responsible for the profligate spending and socialistic attempts to legislate the economy: Democrats deserve credit also. Democrats also deserve a lot of the corruption tarring.
The fact that government has the power to imprison people, and the fact that our ancestors made us slaves to politicians through ratification of the 16th Amendment are all one needs to point to to understand the corruption of politicians of all stripes and colors. When the government (rather the politicians) have the power to tell you how you will be permitted to do business and how much of your hard-earned property and wealth you will be allowed to keep, you are "saddled and bridled, ready to be ridden by the aristocrats who stand ready, booted and spurred."
kayinmaine really is a complete dimwit, isn't she?
First, she asks if any conservatives (Or, as she calls them using her typical display of bigotry towards those with opposing views, 'Reich wingers') served proudly in the Armed Forces, then she brings up McCain. HELLO! Earth to Kay! McCain served honorably, facing imprisonment and torture for his country!
Oh and kay, after my father and I finished watching the 4th of July parade from the balcony of the bank where he works, we went inside and enjoyed an absolutely lovely lunch while socializing with some of Dad's friends from work. Not only did none of us choke (Sorry to disappoint you kay, we know how you're so twisted and psychotic that you'd wish death on every person who disagrees with you), we loved every bite of the lunch, and were able to wrap up and take home with us quite a lot of leftovers which we will be enjoying for several more days. Suck on that, you repulsive, bigoted, traitorous hag!
"When the government (rather the politicians) have the power to tell you how you will be permitted to do business and how much of your hard-earned property and wealth you will be allowed to keep..." Mr Galt
Then who pays for the roads. The schools. Public safety. Building codes. Disaster relief. Police. Fire Departments. Ambulances. What is it you don't want to pay for? How about the stupid friggin trillion dollar war for shit? Osama's wet dream. Think about it.
"I'll just wait for Obamamessia to post his real birth certificate......" thomas
Where's J Sidney's place of birth? Do you know?
Shut up.
t-man, who paid for roads, schools, law enforcement etc. before 1913 when the 16th Amendment was ratified?
How did the US government fund the military before 1913? Oh, wait: that's right. Our ancestors were told the 16th Amendment was supposed to be temporary to pay off the deficit spending they did in the Spanish-American war "yellow journalists" got us into and that the politicians would be frugal with our money.
Note the language of Amendment 16: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Note also the hypocrisy of politicians running for Congress who say they'll make sure their state gets back as much or more of those revenues as they contribute, knowing full well that Amendment 16 prohibits such consideration or apportionment.
It says nothing about property taxes, import duties, fees, etc. that provided sufficient funding for the federal and local governments to keep them in business providing courts, military and government operations expenses. When someone (or something like the government) gets too fat, sloppy, and unable to get things done, it's high time to put them on a serious diet.
When the government has both economic and political power (which they do now as a result of the 16th Amendment), it is soon corrupted by every tom dick and harry wanting special favors, pork, laws and regulations that favor them and cripple their competition, etc. Big government is bad government, corruption, and cronyism.
"who paid for roads, schools, law enforcement etc. before 1913 when the 16th Amendment was ratified?"
Most of that was paid through the use of Municipal Bonds and sales and property taxes, thus keeping the costs low and the control local. It was a GREAT system at keeping government small, and honest, as the politicians had to answer to their local populations as to how, and why, public funds were being spent. That is until Congress stepped in and screwed everything up. Now it's a free-for-all in government spending and taxation.
Thanks a lot, Congress, you really know how to ruin a Country.
"When someone (or something like the government) gets too fat, sloppy, and unable to get things done, it's high time to put them on a serious diet." Mr Galt
Yes. Do you actually think that 1913 "property taxes, import duties, fees, etc. that provided sufficient funding for the federal and local governments to keep them in business providing courts, military and government operations expenses," would cover our defense budget today? I only ask because if someone might advocate reducing the defense budget, you dumbasses would be the first to howl.
You can't have it both ways. You can't support a trillion dollar war and reduce taxes. That's more than stupid, it's sheep-logic. More laughable by a long shot because you're already on the hook, like it or not. But you want out. Wuss. It's impossible for you to own up and pay for this shit pile that you wanted and continue to advocate. 1913...if only. Patriot.
I don't have a problem paying for the best military forces in the world, or for their bazillion-dollar gizmos that keep them #1. I do have a problem with Democrats and other altruists agitating for us to use the military to "do something" about places like Darfur and the Balkans (next up: Zimbabwe) when there is no legitimate national interest in doing so.
Current defense spending is around 4.5% of US GDP, including the costs of the wars since 2001. That equates to about 16% or so of total government spending. Cheap! It would be even less expensive in terms of GDP if we could get our so-called allies in the EU to put up more than their miserly typical 1.5% of GDP for military spending.
The other 78% of US government spending is for "entitlements" (read welfare-state wealth redistribution schemes foisted on us by altruists and socialists like FDR and LBJ) and interest on the debt incurred by the fact that the government SPENDS 40% of GDP while COLLECTING a mere 28% of GDP in tax revenues each year.
As a wise man said to me long ago: "When your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep becomes your downfall!"
Government SPENDING is the problem here, t-man and you know it.
...the government SPENDS 40% of GDP while COLLECTING a mere 28% of GDP in tax revenues each year....
Correction:
...the government SPENDS 40% of GDP while EXTORTING under threat of imprisonment a mere 28% of GDP in tax revenues each year...
There! That's better! :)
BTW, ray, municipal bonds are usually yet another gubmint boondoggle. For the most part, such bonds are promises to pay you back with money which will be swiped from your wallet in the future through taxation.
Once again, Mr. Galt. Do you actually think that 1913 "property taxes, import duties, fees, etc. that provided sufficient funding for the federal and local governments to keep them in business providing courts, military and government operations expenses," would cover our defense budget today? That's pretty much a 'yes' or 'no' thing.
Once again, Mr. Galt. Do you actually think that...
Trick question t-man, and it isn't a yes or no thing unless one is trying to be a demagogue or is just plain stupid. :)
I'll address (dance around, really) only the "defense budget" portion of your question, as the rest (roads, courts, etc.) were largely paid for locally rather than federally.
1913 taxes take in total dollars? No.
2008 taxes take in total dollars? Well...
Several unknowns there: first the 2008 figures aren't in and second I'd have to know more about what the federal gubmint's take was in terms of percentage of GDP in 1913 to make a semi-informed guess of that.
Inflation in combination with devaluation of the dollar make the dollar-to-dollar comparisons irrelevant and useful only for giving misleading answers.
In short, I'll profess ignorance rather than display stupidity. LOL!
