Intimidation At Its Finest
What would you do if comments like this started arriving in your in-box?
As I talked to Johnson in his office, an alert flashed on one of his two giant computer monitors. An angry screed targeting him on another website concluded: “I think a visit to Mr. Johnson’s home might be warranted. Anybody got his address?”
Would [...]
Where Cries of Socialism Meet Racism
Christopher J. Lee, assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has an interesting op-ed piece in the Christian Science Monitor looking at the racist undertones of the rightwing shouts of socialism.
Yet, as seen at various town hall meetings and the Tea Party rally in Washington Sept. 12, a deeper sign of [...]
Conservative Porn
Runner’s World provides some porn for our conservative readers. For the rest of you, stay away it might burn your eyes. BTW, the treatment of the US flag violates US Flag Code.

Name Calling
Remember when the Republican National Committe was debating on whether or not to change the name of the Democratic Party?
In that vein, we should decide what to call conservatives because we all know they are anything by conservative.
My two favorites are:
The Radical Right
Christian Theocracists
Do you have ideas?

Protack Flies Into The Future
The Community News had a piece about Mike Protack and his attempts to try and rebuild Delaware’s Republican Party through the use of web technologies.
Protack says:
I think the electorate sees the Republican Party as elitist or out of touch in a lot of ways. It’s up to us to change that, and any kind of [...]
GOP’s Bread and Butter
Apparently when Gov. Sebelius was running for Governor in Kansas, she accepted donations from a doctor . . . a doctor who performs abortions. You can see why the GOP must hold up Sebelius’ nomination as President Obama’s health secretary. So when you have no ideas and the public is tiring of your Policy of [...]

Quote of the Day
We [the Republican Party] have to be comfortable recruiting candidates who do not fit the profile of an Alabama conservative.
— Steve Schmidt, McCain Campaign’s chief strategist
24 Percent
A recent Pew Research Center poll shows that America, in general, is very happy with President Obama. Turns out that the Republican Party with their sore loser cries, tea bags and faux indignation could only muster a top off at 24% unfavorable rating toward America’s president. Compare this to the Worst.President.Ever had a 35% unfavorable [...]

Point and Laugh for 4/24
Dana says that our enemies do worse, so torture is okay. A commenter who shows some common sense says:
When I was six years old, Dana, my mother taught me that just because someone else does it, doesn’t mean I should do it.
Congratulations, the United States is not quite as bad as the Taliban, despite, you [...]
War is Over?
One of my all-time favorite bloggers, Tennessee’s Southern Beale has a great post from the Radical Right saying that war is over. You got it, even though we have soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and Bush is considered a “War President”, somewhere between Jan. 19th and Jan 20th, the United States went from being a [...]

A Lethal Mixture: Science and the Radical Right
Earlier this month Alabama’s à la Rob wrote about a new “textbook” for homeschoolers, Facts, Nor Fear: Teaching Children About The Environment. It’s really not humorous when non-scientists delve into science.
It is valuable as a model of propaganda technique in general, and of anti-regulatory rhetorical strategies in particular. Its method mostly consists of amassing anecdotes, [...]
Gay Thought of the Day
Studies show that angry male homophobes probably have deeply hidden homosexual urges. So next time you get in a argument with a Radical Right man who is hung up on “the gays”, have pity on the poor soul as he probably hasn’t really accepted his true sexuality.

That’s Saul, Folks
Turns out the RNC did not have much a choice when they elected Grandmaster Steele. Michigan Liberal points us to this ditty from Saul Anuzis, former Michigan Republican Party chair and opponent to Steel for the RNC chair:
We’ve so overused the word ‘socialism’ that it no longer has the negative connotation it had 20 years [...]
Jindal’s Belief in Hogwash
Since we are celebrating the 200th annivesarty of Charles Darwin’s birth, it’s time to bring this video clip back to the forefront. Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican minion favorite, supports the teaching of Intelligent Design in direct contrast to our Constitution as seen in the Kitzmeiller v. Dover Area School District et. al decision (pdf).
Forget [...]

DE GOPers Start Getting Their Hate On
Earlier in the week, I sent a note off to the Lt. Governor regarding my concerns about eminent domain which was ready to go to the Senate floor. Lt. Gov. Matt Denn was quickly responded and was kind enough to let me publish his response in Eminent Domain: Nemski’s Letter and Denn’s Response.
Even though I [...]
se fue
January 2009 has been a great political month for the ol’ nemski. Bush is gone, Obama arrives and now I just read the six sweetest words of the English language in today’s New York Times:
This is William Kristol’s last column.

Republicanism, Alabama Style
Here is a name from the not-so-recent past, Judge Roy Moore and he is thinking about running for governor of Alabama, reports countrycat in Left in Alabama.
Moore? You might remember him as the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and the battle over the Ten Commandments Memorial in the Alabama state courthouse. There were [...]
The Ground IS Shifting!
Nashville rejected the English Only Referendum today!
For English Only — 32,144 (44%)
Against English Only — 41,752 (56%)
From Enclave:
I expect nothing but contrition in any response from Eric Crafton, whose mantra while pursuing this expensive special election was “‘We the People’ have a right to vote on this matter.” Well, he should have been more careful [...]

Deep Thought of the Day
The Radical Right is all over the Employee Free Choice Act (EFAC) because they are worried about taking away workers’ rights. Really? This is what you’re going to go with here, Republicans looking out for the welfare of the working man and woman.
Okay, I’ve stopped laughing, have you? So the Radical Right’s opposition to EFAC [...]
¿Hablas inglés?
Now, I’m not an expert on Nashville, I know it for its music both good and bad, and I’m no expert on Tennessee either, I know it for its barbecue and auto racing. So trying to make a big pronouncement about the people of Nashville and its environs regarding the passage later today of the [...]

Hugo Chavez Has Been Oiling Up Sarah Palin
Our friend Elwood Foreclift over at I Eat Gravel (Alaska) asks a serious question, “Without Hugo Chavez, how will rural Alaskans survive?”

Twits on Twitter
I wondered to myself why Davie Burris shut down another blog, daveburris.com, and went to a whole new direction.
Hey there! daveburris is using Twitter.
And then, over at Ars Techinca (a total geek site), I read Reinventing conservatism, one tweet at a time and I understand why.
Much of this effort, in light of the Obama campaign’s [...]
