MUDSLINGING IS THE NEW BLACK

Remember when people used to complain about political campaigns being too negative?

Those days are over.



Which would be worrying enough if it was just the one meeting. But it seems for the past week, every McCain rally has been populated by Angry White People who openly fear Barry HUSSEIN Obama. He is obviously an agent of al Qaeda and McCain must do whatever it takes to stop him. And incidentally, I seriously doubt this is a recent phenomenon. (See: O’Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, Savage and other drama queens.)

The irony, of course, is that McCain really has no one to blame but himself – or at least his running mate. When you go around claiming Obama “pals around with terrorists”, you can’t act all surprised and dismayed when yr fans take that insinuation and extrapolate it to “He supports al Qaeda” – especially when many of them already believe he’s a Muslim (and we all know what THEY’RE like).

Imagine how these people are going to take the news if Obama wins. Imagine what it will say about the state of America if that anger spreads and Obama loses as a result. You might as well hang a sign on the White House door: “No blacks, no Muslims, no dogs.”

I don’t think it will come to that. I’d still like to think these dingbats are in the minority. But it’s still a very ugly sign of the times.

If you listen to fools, the mob rules,

TALK DIRTY TO ME (NSA REMIX)

Just in case you missed it:

ITEM: The National Security Agency routinely listened in on the intimate and innocent phone calls of Americans in Iraq, including government personnel, journalists and aid workers, as they called back into the United States, according to two former NSA operators who spoke to ABC News.

Oh, it gets better.

[Former Navy Arab linguist David Murfee]Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.

“Hey, check this out,” Faulk says he would be told, “there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, ‘Wow, this was crazy’.”

Full details here.

FUN FACT 01: Junior Bush justified the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program by claiming they only listened to suspected al Qaeda members.

FUN FACT 02: A judge ruled in 2006 that the program was illegal and unconstitutional.

FUN FACT 03: Congress made it legal in July.

I’m just saying.

Now hear this,
