What the hell is wrong with these people?

I would say, “Give consideration to your eternal salvation.” Because to vote for a person who has expressed a fanatical determination to not only support abortion as it exists now but to remove all limitations on it through the Freedom of Choice Act, and to extend it without [...]

This is a mailer being sent out to anti-choice voters in Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Colorado by the Susan B. Anthony List, a radical anti-choice group:

Aren’t anti-abortion voters already sure who they’re voting for? They’ve got fetuses on their signs for god’s sake.

Are there undecided or swing voters on whom [...]

The other day, Chris Matthews asked nutcase Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann whether she thought Barack Obama had anti-American views.  She said:
Absolutely. I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views. That’s what the American people are concerned about. That’s why they want to know what his answers are.
She also said that she wanted “the media” to 
do [...]

Today’s New York Times has an interesting article on southerners’ (particularly Alabamians) views of the presidential election and Barack Obama’s race (Via TPM):
“He’s neither-nor,” said Ricky Thompson, a pipe fitter who works at a factory north of Mobile, while standing in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store just north of here. “He’s other. It’s in [...]

John McCain and Sarah Palin have spent a lot of time recently whipping their yokel base into a frenzy over Barack Obama’s race, religion, and “associations.”

Yesterday, McCain appeared to try and dial back the bigotry:

Maybe McCain ought to get some credit for finally, if extremely reluctantly, rebuking the Republican mob for its misconceptions about his [...]

Sadly, the finned Messiah was eaten by bigger fish shortly after His return. No word on whether he got back up.  But it’s only a matter of time until Mel Gibson figures out who really ate little sharkboy Jesus.

John McCain’s allies on the far right want more activist judges on the bench to repeal hard-won employee, consumer, minority, and women’s rights. To paraphrase Al Franken, they’re also keen to see a country where the wall between church and state has been eaten away like the cartilage in David Crosby’s septum.  They’re not sure [...]

Via Jonathan Martin at Politico:
Of concern to McCain’s campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin’s interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing.
The Palin aide, after first noting how “infuriating” it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a [...]

In another clip from her fingernails-on-a-chalkboard interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin yesterday promised never to second guess “Israel’s security efforts.” 

Palin’s comments put her in direct conflict with just about everybody in Israel.  Anyone who’s spent any time there (and I have) knows that Israelis are rarely of a single mind on any issue, particularly [...]
