You may remember Chip Saltsman as one of the contenders running for RNC chair position who distributed the song “Barack the Magic Negro” on a CD amongst his fellow republicans.
Well, his mix tape of race hate is making those chart topping hits. Huffington Post reports that Saltsman also included “The Star Spanglish banner” on his playlist-o-fun, thinking that Latinos and Spanish people can’t be offended if they don’t understand english!
Didn’t you listen to ole’ Dubya: “fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
In anticipation for a second half-hearted, whole-bullshitted response, simmer with his first response:
It turns out that the mugging of McCain supporter Ashley Todd that has since been proved as a hoax may not be so made up after all. The Texas College Republicans National Committee volunteer claims that after sustaining a brutal beating for her McCain bumper sticker and $60, her alleged black assailant proceeded to shame her by groping her. And when you look this good, it makes her story that much more believable:
However, startling new evidence may shine some light on her allegations, as video evidence of what appears to be an exact description of her attacker: a tall, black man, who cannot stay away from innocent women:
Those dead-panned, rapist eyes will forever be burned into my nightmares. Let’s keep praying that this bastard is apprehended, POST-HASTE!

In the two days since the $700 billion bail out package to help the sinking financial situation of Wall Street failed to pass, much bickering has been going back and forth. Republicans have blamed a not-so-partisan, more “fact driven” speech before the bill was up for vote. Democrats have lambasted the conservative base for placing their own feelings ahead of the country’s economic struggles. Still-President Bush has made the excuse that constructive talks cannot be had because of Jewish members of Congress being out for Rosh Hashanah.

In yet another stop on his “Perpetually Vague Press Tour”, John McCain answered questions from a Maine Reporter who specifically requested examples to address the Republican’s claim of his own experience and good judgment, as well as running mate Sarah Palin. There have been numerous reports of McCain’s unwillingness to face the press on issues within his campaign,which this interview seemingly restores a bit of credibility into his campaign. However, it is quickly dashed to bits by his confusing response to the reporter’s question regarding Palin’s experience with national security:
Reporter : Well, you say you’re sure that [Palin] has the experience. But again, I’m just asking for an example: what experience does she have in the field of national security?
McCain : (slight pause) Energy…she knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. She is the Govenor of the state that 20% of America’s energy supply comes from there. And we all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue. We got to stop sending 700 billion dollars to countries that don’t like us very much. She’s very well versed on that issue. And she happens to be Governor of a state that’s right next to Russia. She understands that Russia and their newly aggressive behavior in the world, which is something we also have to be concerned about.
In McCain’s infinite and ancient wisdom, the saving grace Palin can pull out on doomsday will be knowledge on turning off a light switch when leaving the room, and where Russia is on a map? The reporter had tremendous momentum until he basically took that money shot of response to the chest. How can you call yourself a reporter, and not ask McCain to ELABORATE?! And shouldn’t he have his cronies spew the ignorant “Alaska is near Russia” argument for him?

The Republican National Convention began last night in the Twin Cities of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008 team was there live-blogging from Monday’s post-convention festivities. If the night’s activities were any indication on where our right-winged bretheren intend on taking the US, then the conservatives have a strategy they intend to fix the economy, lower gas prices, and win the war on terror : hot blond women, and good ole’ blasty-ass rock n’ roll!
Take a look at these brave patriots, helping the rest of us un-Americans raise our proverbial flagpoles high towards the sky:
Nearby, Ron Paul’s “Rally For the Republic” ran its own kid’s table sized convention, in attempts to bring the Republican party back to its true conservative roots. And what better way to unwind after a long day of reaffirming your love of the forefathers, and renewed disdain for gay marriage than a libertarian after party at Club Jäger!
Conservative Hooker Bimbo Dancers and Jager?! Have my morals and common sense led me to the wrong political party?
In a stunning attempt to prove to the country that he’s with the times (if the time was 2004 … in which he would still be dinosaur old), Republican presidential hopeful John McCain announced a surprising, yet irrelevant, endorsement :
Just look at McCain’s crooked, eerily satisfied smile on his face.
John McCain - Shit-eater
Team Obama has some serious catching up to do. To think, while focusing on the working-class white and the greater Hispanic community, they so carelessly missed the Puerto Rican-reggaeton-rappers niche, a crucial battle ground demographic. I hear that Tego Calderon is still looking to endorse a candidate.

Indecision 2008’s coverage of John McCain’s campaign journey covered the Arizona senator’s trip to Aspen Colorado, where he met spiritual guru and Tibetan leader Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso. The Republican candidate was greeted warmly by Gyatso, who took must have taken a a page out of George Bush’s book on Foreign Diplomatic Etiquette. Take a look at McCain’s immense discomfort:
Pundits and political correspondents may think differently than I, but I have narrowed my diagnosis down to two conclusions:
1) John McCain so terrified to be that close to a manly embrace, that the very touch of man skin shakes him to his core.
OK, strike that :
1) John McCain so terrified to be that close to a manly embrace, that the very touch of man skin shakes him to his core.
2) Although seemingly the go-to-guy for everything non-aggression, the Dalai Lama has one nasty kung-fu grip handshake.
Then again, let’s look at the facts. The man dresses in nothing more than a bath robe, gets to chill out with his homeys and be all spiritual like, walks around in sandals, and is all about universal peace and happiness.
And we all know how much Republicans despise hippies.

So, as you know your boy John McCain attempted to steal some of the spotlight off Obama’s big night by offering an “uplifting speech” of his own. His audience was about the size of a small kindergarten classroom vs. Obama’s stadium filled supporters.
The lime green backdrop, coupled with his poor teleprompter skills (is reading THAT hard??) resulted in a trainwreck so bad, the folks at Fox Faux News found it difficult to support. Peep the video, courtesy of the good folks at Talking Points Memo:
