— Ace On MSNBC, they are insisting that the statement "You want an American for big jobs" is a "birther" attack on Obama.
From AD, here's a partial transcript:
Ed Shultz: He said "When the world needs to do really big stuff, we need an American."
Ed Shultz: That was a bither line.
Ed Shultz: I don't know how else to take that.
Ed Shultz: That was below the belt.
Maddow: It struck me the same way.
They're also deriding Clint Eastwood as being unwatchable and inarticulate. Remember, this is Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz lodging this complaint.
The most amazing thing here was Ed Schultz' passionate insistence that Clint Eastwood, ventriloquizing (by suggestion) "Go f*** yourself" into the mouth of the Invisible Obama, was a nasty, degrading attack, because Obama is a "family man" and presumably would take offense at this language.
Right. Chicago politician. Chose Rahm Emmanuel as his chief of staff, a famously profane man.
Right, Ed. Poor Obama. How will he get over it.

I don't like the Obama is a nice guy line, but maybe Mitt was sucking me in as well as trying to appeal to the indpendents. Because when he got to that indictment of Obama on foreign policy, that was off the charts. An incredible indictment, basically calling Obama out.

"I don't like the Obama is a nice guy line"
Yes, but there was a healthy dose of ridicule too. The left cannot handle their own tools they've been using with impunity for years being used against them. They go batshit crazy when they're effectively ridiculed (see: MessNBC)

The thing here is that they mock and mock with smug self righteousness. Hayes thought it ludicrous that people applauded the line about the seas receding, because people are doing studies about mass transit if such a doomsday scenario comes to pass, completely oblivious to the fact there is a more urgent doomsday scenario staring us right in the face.
These are the guys wearing their high school letter jacket at their alma mater's game, but they're now in their 20's, and people are surprised they would still waste their time with this. It's just about over, but they don't know it, and it's pathetic.

Rumor has it that the cumulative effect of the Rubio, Eastwood, and Romney was enough to turn Madcow hetero for about five minutes.

He is a man who runs...towards...problems.
And fixes them.
He does not run away from them.
He does not blame others for them.
He rushes towards problems....and puts his shoulder into them...until they are no longer problems.
This....was my takeaway, from the night's speeches and the presentation of our candidate.
And I thought it was great.
It was...was we needed.

What about pride in Americans saving Europe in WW1.
What about pride in Americans saving Europe in fascist Europe circa 1940.
What about pride in Americans saving S. Korea? or fighting for freedom in Vietnam? In Afghanistan against the Soviets and in S. America against the Communists?
What about leading the world in technology, from Silicon Valley to the Biotech & Pharmaceutical Industry? About being proud of planting a flag on the moon, down to mapping the human genome?
Fuck that fat, redheaded genetic mistake.

Laughable pronouncement by WaPo 'Fact-Checker'-
"The claim that Obama repeatedly has apologized for the United States is not borne out by the facts, especially if his full quotes are viewed in context."

I missed Fox--and CNN and Mother Stumpin No Balls Comrades tonight. Went the clean and simple route. Watched it all on C-Span with an absolute minimum of commentary. Even from folks I know and like.
Course I turned to Fox News after it was all ovre for a bit of commentary.
It's a shame I missed watching Madcow, Sergeant Shultz, Tingles and Lesbian Sex Larry meltdown throughout the night--but I'll get over it.

Don't the prayers at these sorts of events tend to follow a distinct pattern more for inclusiveness. So they're not reall denomination specific and not meant just for Christians. And thus they are the exact opposite of what the Imam's prayer at the DNC will be.

Clint is a brilliant actor. He was brilliantly acting. Anyone who does not get that, misses all the nuance of life.

Isn't it "anti-science" to claim that you're slowing the rise of the oceans.
Too fine a point for Matthews, no doubt.
Posted by: Hepcat at August 30, 2012 08:09 PM (frbyY)
Mitt...Obama wants to stop the oceans from rising....I want to help you and your family!! THAT WAS GREAT!!

I was a little disapointed that he was too professional to openly laugh at that absurd contrast. He almost did.
Even funnier, that will line will get fact checked.

For me, Republicans have been the dimwit party. At this convention, they have had the subtlety of Shakespeare.
The Left has had the freedom of an unchallenged bully for several decades. This convention challenged the Left in ways the Left does not get. The bully, by the power within it, mastered.
Obama is not smart enough to realize his campaign of personal destruction is being used against him. The louder the bleats of shrill accusation by the Left, the more the Left looks absurd and irresponsible.

I don't care what anyone thinks, Clint dared to mock the most incompetent pretentious man to ever become president and did a fantastic job of it.

I imagine that people in the 1950's who saw a routine from Lenny Bruce felt a lot like what most people in 2010's America feel when they see Eastman's RNC performance.
Almost unacceptably, uncomfortably edgy.
I loved it.

I wasn't attacking Mr. Eastwood. I thought he did a great job. The media is calling him delusional. I don't understand that, he was hilarious and genuine.
They didn't mind it when he voiced over a commercial for GM during the Super Bowl, but now he is a delusional old man - atleast according to MSNBC.
The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of the best movies ever made. But, Clint doesn't know how to make a bad movie.

Eastwood using the 'empty chair' routine to ridicule Barky was hilarious.
Barky has been MIA....as president.
So it was a perfect way to stick it to him, visually...without saying it.
I guess since virtually all the professional comedians of our day....are too chicken shit to scoop up any of the comedy gold that the SCoaMF is throwing off.....some people are just not 'getting' the humor.
I'm thinking that the fact that Barky's palace guards are tearing at their hair over Eastwood's performance....is an indicator that Clint hit the mark.

I was happy to read your insight and sgree.
He's 82 ad0libbing is not as fast as it once was for the guy, BUT I was watching him look at the scene as line drawings in his mind and he got his wind and made his point.
It's beautiful he landed more cuts to Price Pampers than any liberal comic has in 6 years of overexposure....
I was literally in awe of his mind if not his execution.
I'd gladly buy him a pony keg and just listen.

1) he called Obama out on the betrayal of "Hope"
2) he labeled him rather hypocritical and said you can fire him
3) he is gonna take a lot of arrows but he wants to to show the senior citizen set that a bunch of kids taught by the freaks they saw behind them who burned Nixon in effigy can't take a punch....
Clint nailed it

Most Americans respect Clint Eastwood. He was the second generation of John Wayne. I don't think liberals realize how powerful Clint's message was tonight, and how important it was in motivating the older population to vote for Romney.
Posted by: jwbs at August 30, 2012 08:57 PM (liFiG)
He made it acceptable to vote for Romney for people who were leaning Obama because he seems so nice and says he's trying hard and besides I don't want people to think I'm racist.
He reassured them: we gave him his shot. He blew it.

I was distracted at first and thought WTF as I was watching in real time UNTIL... when he started addressing the empty chair.... I lost it. I knew I was witnessing a screwjob of epic size. Obama has not been ridiculed by ANYONE of the stature of Clint to date. No one has dared mock him as the empty chair that he represents. Think about it... that my moron buddies was brilliant and will be seen as a major cascade moment.... mark my words. It was devastating.

These clowns on MSNBC have the vapors over Romney mocking Obama's claim that the oceans will recede. Well, first of all, the oceans have not receded. So that on its own is grounds for mocking. Lets just assume that is still open for debate though. You still have Chris Hayes and others getting the vapors over that segment of his speech, and that tells you absolutely everything.
These are people that think global warming, built on dubious science, is most serious indeed. As Chris Hayes said, there are studies (STUDIES!!!) looking at how such a doomsday scenario might affect the transportation grid in our most heavily populated cities. Don't you get this??? Subways might fail! This is serious business, guys.
Meanwhile people struggling with unemployment or underemployment is an afterthought. They don't even have public transit to their jobs that they don't have. Not important. Subways are hypothetically at risk to those that have jobs in metropolises. What we really need to focus on here is how Romney downplayed the rise and fall of sea levels. He then suggested jobs might be a more important focus, and this is an outrage.
That, in my opinion, is what MSNBC needs to be mocked on so far tonight. Now, I've been drinking some beers, because I think we have these guys in deep, deep trouble after this week. Still, I am pretty sure that portion of the speech, and the liberal reaction to it, tells you everything you need to know about why these guys are screwed here.

Ace sleeps.
Every third night.
Wrapped in the skin of a freshly killed hobo.
When he wakes, he feeds off of the remains and will mate with the scraps and leftovers to display dominance and also to mark his territory.
Once all of this is done, he checks his Twitter feed for tweets from cute chicks.
Seeing none, he goes to HotAir to steal some content.
The cycle begins anew.

Heh. The subtle digs at the SCOAMF were beautiful (even more so if they were on the fly).
The one about him just up and leaving from office, but still letting him use the plane, well a smaller one than the gas guzzler he uses to jet to colleges to talk about student loans is hilarious.
Points out his enviro hypocrisy and his "priorities" of flying all over to focus on things like student loans to gin up the youth vote he'll desperately need.

The Russians got us to abandon our missile defense system in Eastern Europe and to stand by in Syria.
The Iranians got all of the time in the world to make uranium.
The Marxists in South America got a free pass and had the US try to topple another government for them.
The Chinese... well hell this worries me because I am sure they got what they wanted but I don't know what it was.
The terrorists got us out of Afghanistan and we even told them when we were leaving.
Our foreign policy has been one of malignant neglect.

That was Clint tonight.
With that said, he did stumble a bit around the main point: the "If you're a Dem or GOP or libertarian . . . it's okay to let him go." He did muck up the transition to it, which added to the critics' ammo.
But like Norm, overall, the whole act was much better the second and third time around

About Romney... anyone else notice that his voice was much stronger the first half of the speech? Very calm and strong. I wonder if the emotional bits in the middle may have drained some of his energy. At the end he sounded more like he is at a typical rally.

I didn't listen to Condi's speech. No matter what she says now, she can never be forgiven for having endorsed Barky in 2008, while she was in the Bush administration. And she did endorse him in every way possible, save those exact words.
That was an unforgiveable sin. Totally unforgiveable. I wouldn't trust Condi with anything. From inside the administration she had to come out and say that the ineligible idiot who mouthed every idiotic marxist rote-learnt line would be a decent Precedent. Pathetic and inviting danger to America (which we have all seen).
I don't know why she spoke at the convention. She had no business being being within 1000 miles of the place.

I am sure I understand how lefties feel about Clint. Kind of the way I felt when Colin Powell came out for Obama. Posted by: navybrat at August 31, 2012 01:55 AM (SZOLw)
Powell was always pretty squishy on being a conservative. He kinda, sorta, somewhat leaned to the right, but was never a big ideologue and was liberal on some pretty major issues. It really wasn't surprising he wound up going over to the other side.
For that matter, I was kind of surprised to see Clint Eastwood doing this since he was always more of a libertarian than a conservative. Now, the are Democrat-libertarians and there are Republican-libertarians--He's definitely identified much more with the Republican Party, but the few people on our side complaining about this should really be happy that, when all was said and done, he actually endorsed Romney.

As far as I know she never endorsed Obama.
She most certainly did. As I said, not in those exact words but she went out of her way to insure people that he wasn't exactly what he anyone with a brain knew he was and that "he would make a fine President", or something equally vomitous. She was in the administration at the time and had no business saying anything about it, to start with, let alone trying to assure people about a near-retard who hated AMerica and the West with every fiber of his pathetic body.
If she was ambiguous about McCain, I can hardly blame her.
I can certainly blame her. I voted for that miserable piece of shit because there clearly was no alternative. Condi didn't care about America. She worked to fuck America over, and did it from a position that she should have not been saying anything.
Look up her speech and try to imagine Powell giving it.

And Powell is worse than her. The way he let the whole Bush administration be dragged to court and brought to a standstill for over a year while he knew, the whole time, that it was all a witchhunt. He's beyond slime.

We should factor in the possibility that these guys actually are politically savvy. That even though it has appeared that we took the Mediscare ball away from them, they will find a way (class warfare) to level this.
We have a fundraising advantage, because we are more energized. Michael Moore even sees this, but we need to keep taking advantage of it. Mitt Romney is about to unleash a barrage of ads, and we need to keep feeding the beast by donating. We have to close this deal even if the candidates aren't our first choice. I've warmed up to Romney, but even if you don't, accept this situation as it is.
Momentum is on our side. I see Romney moving to the right, even after primaries. That is rare, and it needs to be rewarded or we risk shutting that down.

What side do you think you're talking about, here?
You love Condi and what she did. Good for you. On the Indonesian Imbecile's victory over America:
"As an African-American, I'm especially proud," said Rice, her eyes glistening with emotion, "because this is a country that's been through a long journey, in terms of overcoming wounds and making race" less of a factor in life. "That work is not done, but yesterday was obviously an extraordinary step forward."
An extraordinary step forward, to elect someone who is ineligible, hates our institutions, our nation and our culture and wants to bring disaster to America ... I guess whoever is on YOUR SIDE agrees with that. I don't. Barky was a vote of suicide by America.

MSNBC is like some sort of bizarre reality show.
Well they did cancel Jersey Shore, so there is that niche.

Until Andrew's death I was mostly a lurker at AOS, IMAO, the other mccain, you name it..hell, even lgf before that spiraled out of control.
I was kinda a-political except for Reagan 1984 (my first and only vote FOR a politician). I didn't care all that much, just leave me alone. Clinton was on my shit list after Somalia, I lost friends and damned near lost my own life in that hell. It didn't have to be that way. Why did we have to be so nice and non-threatening? Those f-ing savages wanted us dead! Why was Clinton so certain that kindness would rule the day in a third world hellhole? Really?
As for Bush? Well, at least he was better than the alternative and he loved the troops.
In 2008 my brother was a big Romney supporter (bless his corporate soul), but I wasn't convinced. I wanted to vote for a republican, not just against the damned democrat!
So, here I am. I don't want my kids to grow up in Obama's world, I don't want to fight and lose friends in anymore meaningless battles. I want a government that doesn't tell me what I need, I want a government that gets the hell out of my way and allows me to raise my family as I see fit.
Is Mitt the answer? Hell, I don't know, but he will leave me alone and he will let me raise my boys the way God intended.
It's late, I'm old and this crusty old ammo troop is off to bed. I'll check in on the day shift.
Peace..through strength.

Thanks for posting drewbicle I don't feel so alone now. And I feel even more hopeful that it's breaking through.
