Desperate Pols and Pundits Play the Election 2014 Race Card

Last night on The Independents, the co-hosts had the kind of discussion about race and Election 2014 that you just won't see anywhere else on cable news. Includes bashing of Ben Stein, Woodrow Wilson, and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-Lousiana), among others:

Tonight there will be no Independents, as Scott Shackford mentioned earlier, though you can see Kennedy in the same time slot being called upon during election coverage from Fox Business host Neil Cavuto.

It's sad that America is voting racists into power again. Poor President Obama. His many, many sacrifices appear to have been in vain. Now he must leave this world and ascend to the heavens once again.

[SoCal Deathmarch]

Don't get ahead of yourself. He must first cash in on a couple dozen million dollar speaking fees, engage in a little race baiting, get his poverty pimpin' on, make the oceans recede, and then ascend to heaven.

[Paul.]

Hopefully he'll leave us a Shroud of DC to remember him by.

[SoCal Deathmarch]

The Shroud of Ruin.

[Paul.]

Boom.

[Paul.]

Or how about a Shroud of Tourin'?

Hm, I like yours better. Now I've kind of ruined it.

Sorry.

[Pro Libertate]

Crowd of Mournin'?

[Sevo]

So, Matt, this is a PSA?

[Heroic Mulatto]

you can see Kennedy in the same time slot being called upon during election coverage from Fox Business host Neil Cavuto.

No.

[Paul.]

You just a hater.

[2ndClassProle]

Dude, can your refer a good book on linguistics for the layman. I am very curious about these things.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Dude, can your refer a good book on linguistics for the layman

Absolutely! My favorite is aptly called Linguistics for Non-Linguists, which will cover all 5 branches of theoretical linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics) along with some applied linguistics (pragmatics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, etc.)

[2ndClassProle]

Thanks man, appreciated it. I have wanting to ask you for long time now. I work late, and always get to comments when everyone is not around.

[Rhywun]

Would that be suitable for a refresher course? Been meaning to brush up on all the stuff I forgot after getting my degree 20 years ago.

[Paul.]

Kayyyy...

UW scientists seek to extend dogs' lives with anti-aging drug
Drawing on developments in anti-aging science, UW scientists hope to find out whether a chemical that extends the life spans of yeast, fruit flies, worms and mice will do the same for dogs.

I for one spend a lot of time wondering when science will finally crack the anti-aging code for my neighbor's bichon frise.

Transcanineists are a small but vocal subculture within Transhumanism.

[Paul.]

And they vote!

[GamerFromJump]

So that's how Porthos lived long enough to test the transporter.

[GILMORE]

Yes, yes, but what about the *new tricks*? Science remains confounded.

[Pro Libertate]

Hey, wait, humans first!

[Atanarjuat]

Noooope.

/FDA

[Pro Libertate]

I was kind of hoping for some decent life extension. Should I move my brain into a dog temporarily then?

[Atanarjuat]

Well, it would be great to go to parks and have attractive women pet you.

[Slammer]

Extend in dog or human years?

[GILMORE]

"Tonight there will be no Independents"

TONIGHT, YOU ARE ALL SLAVES TO THE SYSTEM

[BigT]

Barack Ebola has devalued the race card - just like the rest of our currency.

[Raven Nation]

Huh, RCP already calling KY for McConnell.

[Merrill Hess]

Damn your elevator-woman-punching-enabling fast fingers.

[Raven Nation]

Sorry man! I saw the Fox News one and went to RCP to get a "non-biased" source.

RCP is weird on house races though: it's describing all wins as "pick ups" even if the incumbent is being re-elected.

[SoCal Deathmarch]

So, Turd Sandwich then?

[Merrill Hess]

Oddly FNC is not calling AL for Sessions, despite the fact he's unopposed.

[Paul.]

Royal Canadian Police?

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

They give very polite projections.

[Merrill Hess]

Fox News already calling KY for McConnell with 12% of the vote in.

[2ndClassProle]

Being libertarian is this good or bad?

[Hyperion]

Better than having his opponent win.

[Bobarian (Mr. Xtreme)]

barely

[SoCal Deathmarch]

You're asking the wrong question.

Is this bad or worse?

[Merrill Hess]

It's better than another Obama lackey getting in.

The time for offing McTurtle was in the primary.

[Hyperion]

I'm not sure how they do that, but they must have some sort of formula for it.

The thing I can't figure out is why do people in SC keep electing that worm Lindsey Graham? Is there something in the water there?

[Hyperion]

OMG, Turtle Head as Senate Majority Leader! It'll just be turtleheads all the way down!

[2ndClassProle]

YEEEUUUPP!!!!

[SoCal Deathmarch]

Tippy Turtle: Senate Majority Leader

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

The ONLY good thing about this will be shriek's rage, since the Donkey candidate was the woman of his proggie dreams.

Otherwise Yertle the Turtle can go get stuffed. He will be marginally better than "Evilmonger" Harry Reid.

[2ndClassProle]

Is there any chance they would make Rand majority leader?

It would fun if Ted Cruz Majority leader, just for the yummy prog tears.

[Merrill Hess]

Rand would not make a good majority leader. A majority leader has to manage personalities and horse-trade like crazy to be successful.

That's why they're so often bland and boring people.

[Hyperion]

Oh come now. He'll be more than marginally better than Reid. Reid is pure fucking evil. At least Rand will be able to influence the Turtle to a certain extent.

[Hyperion]

So I'm forcing myself to watch Fox. It's terrible, so I'm going to have to drink lots of beer. I'll struggle through this...

[Rev-Match]

I don't typically consume during the week, but I thought election day was an appropriate event to do so.

[Slammer]

Fox sucks tonight. The desk is blocking Megyn's legs.

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

Damn...I will NOT be in my bunk. I am going to go watch Blackhawks v Habs and drink and check in here once in a while.

[Hyperion]

What, you don't think that Brett dude is cute? He reminds me of that kid from ... what the fuck was the name of that show...

[Slammer]

The wife likes Steve Hayes. She's fuming he's not on tonight so far.

[Slammer]

Steeeeeevvveee!!!

[Rev-Match]

Megyn's legs.

I flipped to FNC and the first thing I got was Krauthammer's beak...

[Paul.]

Man charged and found guilty of impersonating a police officer and harassing people on the street:

"He's truly sorry for his behavior that day," Deacy's attorney, Michele Shaw, told the judge.

The woman Deacy confronted, Angelique Rosario, 32, said after Tuesday's court hearing that she believed Deacy, who was wearing a Seattle police uniform during the Dec. 13 incident, was a regular officer when he yelled at her and pushed her out of a Capitol Hill crosswalk she thought she could cross with the light.

In court, Rosario told the judge that Deacy reacted in an "intimidating and harsh" manner.

"It seemed completely inappropriate," said Rosario, a barista.

Deacy, the cop-impersonator received 150 hours of community service and $50 fine.

I'll let you find out why he received such a harsh sentence by clicking through.

[GILMORE]

Do you know who else impersonates a police officer in Seattle?

[Sevo]

They had some guy who impersonated a line backer at one time.

[Bardas Phocas]

News from the 8%.
Now edging up to 9%.

While 17 percent of likely voters "strongly approve" of Obama, just 9 percent say they are "enthusiastic" about his administration.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....ent-obama/

[Pro Libertate]

And they're mostly lying. I bet there are less than 50,000 people who are enthusiastic about Obama in their hearts, and many of them are on the payroll.

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

Well, there is shriek, and tony and.... maybe you are right.

[Pro Libertate]

I mean, sure, there are millions who are scared to criticize him because of race, millions who just automatically say "Yes" to all things Democrat, but how many really want this frozen economy and out-of-control government? In the end, "Ten percent of nothin' is, let me do the math here. Nothin' and a nothin', carry the nothin'. . . ."

[Hyperion]

They're just hoping for that latest Obamaphone model for Christmas.

[Merrill Hess]

Colt, Ruger, Magpul, and Smith & Wesson are enthusiastic about the Obama administration.

[JeremyR]

Do you know how big the government is? 8% could very well be on the payroll...

[Paul.]

Ha! Now maybe we'll FINALLY get Obama out of the whitehouse in 2016!

[Hyperion]

I'm calling it a 100% chance. Bold prediction, no?

[Paul.]

I'll not take that bet.

[Swiss Servator, spare a franc?]

From 24/7:

"Developing: Associated Press Calls Lindsey Graham Winner in South Carolina"

I don't care if he is victorious in his election, he is still a loser to me.

[Pro Libertate]

We can vaguely hope for the Democrats to lose control of the Senate while retaining our righteous contempt for many, many Republicans. And the party in general.

[Hyperion]

I already still hate Lindsey Graham if that's any concession at all.

[Pro Libertate]

Let us hate him together.

[Fluffy]

So the GOP picked up the West Virginia Senate seat?

[Hyperion]

Scott Brown is losing. He's a dem anyway, doesn't really matter.

[Hyperion]

Wow, the FL race between the 2 shitbags is too close. I hope Crist loses, I mean really, who is a bigger shitbag than Crist?

[Merrill Hess]

Hitler.

[Hyperion]

I'm not sure.

[Pro Libertate]

Yeah, let me think about that for a minute. I mean, we can't know what Crist would do in 1930s Germany, now can we?

[Hyperion]

He probably would have been constantly switching sides to see if he could be with the Hitler regime or the Stalin regime. 'I'm a Nazi! Noooo, the Commies are wining, I'm a Commie! Noooo, I'm....'

[Pro Libertate]

He's got to be one of the most transparently corrupt politicians of this age. Even Obama fakes it better than Crist.

[Atanarjuat]

Projected results I just googled binged:

Crist wins over Scott. Um, OK. Whatever. Don't blame me, I voted for the libertarian.

Medical marijuana is looking good so far. Fuck yeah!

US House district 2 is going democrat. Bob Graham's daughter is beating the republican incumbent. Not sure how. The district covers conservative territory like all of Tyndall AFB, and also a shitload of rednecks and old people.

[Pro Libertate]

Holy shit. Florida would elect Crist? I mean, known scum is scummy. I'm sticking to the HE FUCKING LOSES projection. Besides, the panhandle will surely vote against him, which will report late.

[Hyperion]

It's a virtual tie at the moment. My gawd Scott must suck ballz if he can't even beat Crist!

[Pro Libertate]

Anyone who votes for Crist should be forced into a tanning competition with him.

[Atanarjuat]

I voted today, mostly because of the medical marijuana (FL) and a few Libertarian candidates I liked. I was asked to show my voter registration card, and a photo ID. I asked the lady if that was mandatory, and she said it was, "so no one could vote for me". Now what was all that voter ID fuss about, again? Presumably that's not the case in all states.

[Pro Libertate]

Yes, we have it here. I showed by ID in early voting. Of course, I'm a white male. I'm sure they turned away all the blacks and women.

[JeremyR]

It's apparently just too hard to get an ID, blacks and women just can't manage to do it like white men.

(That's sarcasm, but that's basically what people against Voter ID are saying)
