House Blend Has Actual Freeper Quotes™ on Robertson’s Latest Gaffe

Every normal American owes Pam Spaulding at Pam’s House Blend a debt of gratitude. She often risks getting slime on her Internets by visiting Freeperville to bring back a dose of buzz from the Dark Side, which she calls Actual Freeper Quotes™.

Here’s a taste of the AFQ in response to Pat Robertson’s statement on Sunday that our constitutionally mandated independent judiciary is a greater threat than Islamic terrorists :

“As much as i like the guy comments like these are over the line. I think the judiciary is a threat, but saying that a bunch of unelected judges are worse than terrorists who want to blow us up is silly. Robertson really should take back what he said.”

“Man oh man..this is SURE to raise the credibility of the Republican Party and conservatives in general. Get a grip, Pat.”

“I’m no fan of Robertson, but the basic hypothesis has some good arguments for it. AQ killed 3000 Americans, judges have killed 40,000,000 and counting.”

“What a stupid thing to say! This will of course be used against the cause of stopping judicial activism. With friends like this, who needs enemies? It’s as bad as the abortionist killers or the Phelps “God hates f**s” people for harming the cause of decency, pro-life, pro-family and judicial restraint.”

“Everyone please pray for Pat!”

“What a stupid thing to say, especially after the Delay fracas. He’s senile and should be replaced.”

“Only difference between Pat Roberts and someone like Paul Crouch is better clothes and smoother delivery. In his heart, he is a bitter little snake-oil salesman, nothing more.”

“He may not have worded it correctly, but I think his premise is not so off. Judges have the potential to take down the country more effectively than the terrorists. Particularly now that Al Queda has been checked. Not to mention that judges have allowed millions of babies to be killed through judicial activism. That is pretty serious stuff.”

ABC to Run Ad from Homophobic, Lying Hate Group

AmericaBlog:

This is really outrageous. According to the NYT, ABC is running an ad from hate group Focus on the Family during the season finale Monday of the hit primetime show Supernanny. This after CBS and NBC refused to run an ad from the United Church of Christ because it dared to be welcoming of gays.

Focus on the Family is a hate group and has a history of lying and distorting facts when speaking to the media. Any org that wanted to focus on them and challenge their lies in major stories could have made this group untouchable for any respectable media outlet years ago. Ditto the Traditional Values Coalition et al. But they’re considered repsectable enough to run ads on major networks but a Christian church is not?

Coulter Finds Love on the Down-Low

From the Gatecrasher column in the New York Daily News

OMG! Arch-conservative Ann Coulter is totally dating a Democrat on the down-low.

I hear the mighty righty is discreetly seeing a twentysomething country singer by the name of Rob Ryan.

And yes, Mr. Ryan is an out-and-proud Blue Stater.

The two have been spending nights together at her pad on the upper East Side.

“When they’re together they’re talking more about music than politics,” a pal of theirs told me…

Coulter, always a good sport, told me via E-mail: “I refuse to admit or deny whether Rob Ryan is a Democrat.”

Coulter, who frequently lies about her age, is in her mid-forties.

Poll: Bush Fails to Make His Case – Again

The first CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll since President Bush’s “news” conference on April 28 shows that former Andover cheerleader has failed again to rally the American public behind his plan to phase out Social Security. In fact, while 81 percent of the respondents agreed that the program is broken, only 35 percent liked the President’s approach. The poll also showed that Bush received an over-generous 48 percent approval for his job performance.

The news conference came after the President campaigned for his plan to end Social Security for 60 days at staged events packed with his supporters in mostly Red state venues. The White House hoped the events showcasing the President would gin up positive coverage on local news channels, but this plan apparently backfired.

What is difficult to calculate is how many viewers of local news coverage came to see Bush’s plan for what is – an attempt to make the Social Security safety net disappear in order to gain partisan advantage. Republicans don’t give a damn if we end up with millions of elderly Baby Boomers living in cardboard boxes in 20 years. Their stated goal is to end the two party system in the United States. By destroying Social Security, they will remove it as a reliable arrow in the Democrats’ quiver of political issues.

These are the same craven political masterminds who sent us to war in Iraq primarily to ensure that Bush would be a “war president” and thus win reelection in 2004, and who are about to destroy the parliamentary rules of the US Senate, thus laying waste to the last institution of civility in our republic, in order to pack the courts with Talibani judges who can be relied upon to roll back civil rights.

Democrats – and especially the MSM – dare not speak the truth about the Gops’ true goals lest they be labelled “librul” by corrupt conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Tom DeLay and millions of their dittohead followers. And that factor, the demonization of the word “liberal” by the Right, may be the neatest trick of all. Shunning the liberal label has become so reflexive that it forces the Republicans’ opponents and their watchdogs to censor themselves, without any means for reprisal.
