— Gabriel Malor Happy Wednesday.
Last night, news broke that the White House was informed that Ansar al Sharia had taken credit for the Benghazi attack just hours after it happened. ICYMI, Ace had a post on it.
Bob Woodward has offered a sort-of explanation for why Obama might not have known that the idea for sequestration originated with the White House and not Congress, as Obama fatuously claimed at Monday's debate.
According to Woodward, "maybe [Obama] didnÂ’t know that they were doing this because itÂ’s kind of technical budget jargon." But that's stupid. Federal budgeting is technical and so are the details of the sequestration cuts, but the source of the idea of sequestration cuts isn't technical. It involves no jargon, no math, no obscure Congressional knowledge, nothing other than one or two or, at most, three names for the guys who proposed the idea. On the other hand, I think it's fantastic that Woodward is trying to protect the President by saying he's too stupid to understand budgets. Boy, wouldn't that explain a lot?
And the editor of the Des Moines Register, which I expect will endorse President Obama soon, is lodging a protest of sorts over the Obama campaign's inexplicable decision to require that the paper report nothing, record nothing, reveal nothing about their thirty-minute phone call with the President. As someone put it on Twitter, Obama has finally started talking to the press again, but only on condition that the press won't report on it.
Now at the end of the last campaign of his life, Obama is squirming like a worm on a hook. Even if Obama manages to win in two weeks, students of political science will study the failure of Obama's negative campaign for decades. The old conventional wisdom -- negative campaigning works -- is going to need a major revision.

Conservative green group wants 'coverÂ’ for Republicans on climate
The leader of ConservAmerica, a Republican environmental group, hopes to provide political “cover” for GOP lawmakers who want to tackle climate change but are wary of drawing primary opponents.
These are more of those phony “Republicans who are forced to vote for Obama shitweasels. You can not be a conservative and be for the phony AGW scam. You may be a RINO, but not a conservative. So Morons remember this BS because it will probably come up again. The AGW cultists and crooks have not given up yet.

The Great Crash of 1929 - John Kenneth Galbraith
In America during the 1920s rampant speculation collided with record trading volumes to create the Great Crash. Every financial bubble since 1929 has been compared to this economic catastrophe. It's why this classic examination of the late'20s financial collapse has stayed in print since it became a best seller in 1955.
(From Vic) IÂ’m not sure I would recommend this book. Sure, the stock market crash was caused by the normal thing, a run-away bubble collapse. But the stock market crash is so often called the cause of the Great Depression and nothing could be further from the truth. Also this guy is a raging liberal commie. I would recommend Amity Shlaes book, The Forgotten Man for serious reading. But for 1.99 it may be worth a check.
And that's it for this morning

As for the campaign itself it is not a valid test of the old wisdom of negative campaigning. He is losing for two major reasons and a myriad of minor ones:
1. The economy is shit and most people recognize it is his fault and not Bush's.
2. His campaign is the worst one done since the civil war.

Shorpy's a great site, Vic. And they do sometimes have color versions of their photos; just dig around for them.
When are these stupid Republicans going to quit going to debates hosted by the fucking MFM?
Better yet, when Romney wins, is there any way the WaPo and NYT and CNN and the rest of the bastards be RICO'd for the way they've acted as, in the Blogfather's words, "Democrat operatives with bylines?" If the only way to get a balanced press is to RICO, audit and grand jury the fuckers until they bleed, then Romney and Ryan should have the balls to do it. Make. Them. Pay.
Anyway, on to our Hollywood moment. Here are a couple of interlocking stories. Nothing heavy, just some lightness as we count down the 13 days until our long national embarrassment is over:
Richard Burton, in addition to his talents in acting, drinking and wenching (after screwing Liz for the first time, he returned to the set of Cleopatra and announced, “Gentlemen, I have just shtupped Elizabeth Taylor in the back of my Cadillac”) was also a gifted mimic. One day, during his time at the Royal Shakespeare Company, he was entertaining a group with a dead-on impersonation of Sir John Gielgud. Suddenly, everyone grew quiet; Burton turned around to see Gielgud himself standing there.
“Mr. Burton,” Sir John said dryly, “in my experience, I have found that very good impersonators are not very good actors.”
That, however, was a rare bit of successful snark from Gielgud, who was infamous in London theatrical circles for his gaffes (“dropping a brick,” as the Brits call it). One of his most famous goofs occurred during a lunch at the Savoy with the now-forgotten playwright Edward Knoblock, who was himself infamous as a tiresome bore.
As lunch went on, Gielgud suddenly saw a man weaving his way through the tables and tensed up, not relaxing until the man passed them. “Oh, thank God he didn’t join us,” Gielgud sighed in relief. “He’s a bigger bore than Eddie Knoblock.”
“Let’s face it,” Gielgud said later, telling the story on himself. “I’ve dropped enough bricks to build the Great Wall of China.”
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Just because a question is asked in a debate doesn't mean you have to answer it?
And why was it even asked? Oh, to derail the campaign.
I am from Indiana, and this is just stupidity. Donnelly (the dem) is a Catholic who will make hay out of it and we only have one big paper, the Indianapolis Star which is a Gannett paper and leftist, so for the next 2 weeks that is all they are going to talk about.
I hope he can pull through, but this is a notorious ticket-splitting state and Romney' s coattails might not be enough.

My feeling is that once Romney is elected he will be the new "Bush". Everything that goes on will be "Romney's fault". Even good thing will be portrayed as bad and "Romney's fault".

No, that's actually not what he said. That's the media smear.
Here is what he actually said:
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God," Mourdock said. "I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
The rape is not the blessing, the child is.
Any conservative with three brain cells to rub together should be nodding along, not repeating the media smears and staging Daffy Duck freakouts.

If that's true, then Burton was quite the worm. But ... Liz married him twice anyway, so I guess she liked worms.
As far as I can tell, it is true. Of course, when he first arrived on the Cleopatra set, everyone expected Burton to shag Taylor, but he said no. "Her legs are too short and she's overdeveloped in the chest."
Maybe tomorrow I'll tell a couple of Taylor stories. In her own way, she was a very loving, loyal, generous woman, but as husband Mike Todd once said, "Elizabeth's curse is that she can have any man in the world. And she knows it."

1. Every MFM in the world tries to hit Republican candidates with gotcha questions while they lob softballs at the Dems. Out of the hundreds of thousands of hits a few slip ups are going to happen. Then all of the MFM will take those slip ups out of context and spread them like wild fire.
2. The second reason they occur is that the lying asshole simply manufacture them when they don't occur like 99.9% of the Palin lies they came up with.
The way to avoid them is quit going on MFM hit job shows. Or at least learn the Dem strategy of not answering questions.

Lugar should have RETIRED. I cannot fathom why he didn't. He would have left to a round of "thank you for your service" dinners and everyone would have let their anger about all of his votes be forgotten.
Why did he think he should stay for 6 more years? He is 80! I can only assume that there was more value in being in the Senate than retiring, and then I start remembering rumors and weird votes and wonder if he was being blackmailed. He has behaved in a shabby way and is destroying what legacy he did have in this state.

I blame Democrats who register them, Democrats who give them phony names and pay them to vote fraudulently.
It is time to start investigating and prosecuting some of these things. After all, it is a felony. If we did that it would cease.
The problem is that most of the areas where this occurs are controlled by the Democrat machine. So it is never investigated, much less prosecuted.

It wouldn't be nice to expect our affirmative-action preznit to actually behave like a civilized American. Nor would it be Good Optics to expose his lies and past, even though such things are part and parcel of what he is today.
It's better to worry about what Gloria Allred will say, and what effect NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN can have on changing the minds of the undecided/brain dead by pimping her anti-Romney bullshit.
But don't push back. Oh, no. That would be Sinking to Their Level.

Agreed.
And it is an indication of just how much control the Left exerts on the "narrative" that any mention of proactive measures to prevent fraud is met with cries of racism and disenfranchisement.
If I have to show ID to purchase a firearm, I should have to show ID to vote. To me that is such an obvious assumption that I cannot fathom how the Left has fooled many Americans into believing otherwise.

And it's not really a good thing if you're the candidate and you're asking voters to parse your words.
"No, when I said it was a blessing, I didn't mean the rape." "Sure, I think God intended it to happen. The baby, I mean. Not the rape."
You lose when you say things like that.

Late to the discussion here.
In a general sense, sure. In a specific sense, no so much. There's also the fact that God's will is that we have free choices, which means people can do things (and, therefore, consequences can occur) that are not His will.
You start getting on very shaky ground when you talk about "God's will" in anything but the most general sense. It is God's will that we consider life a sacred gift. It is not always His will that we protect a specific life.
Mostly, it's safer just to avoid appeals to "God's will" when you're talking specifics- and the question of rape is *always* specific.
As for Mourdock's statement- the only problem with it is it requires people to use their brains and think. Unfortunately, the Media has succeeded in making that a dangerous, if not completely self-defeating, tactic.
Posted by: AllenG (Dedicated Tenther) Channelling Breitbart at October 24, 2012 04:10 AM (8y9MW)
But that is the difference. The Left is happy to behave that way in spite of its obvious sociopathological characteristics.
Republicans tend to be slightly more human.

Yeah, that only works for Democrats.
You would then have a situation where the moderator, the challenger and the audience would be yelling at the Republican.
The question is so easy to answer its child's play.
You say "I am fully pro-life in my position, abortion is wrong and immoral in all cases except for the life of the mother.
My opponent is fully pro-choice and believes that a baby can be destroyed at any time for any reason up to and including just before birth by the use partial birth abortion, which partially delivers a baby leaving just the head inside the mother, an abortionist then takes scissors and punctures the skull and using a vacuum, sucks the brains out, collapsing the skull. The baby is then removed and discarded into the trash to be picked up and thrown into a landfill as you would throw away your garbage."
It doesn't really matter if your opponent believes that you see, the audience will recoil in horror at having the disgusting procedure of partial birth abortion being revealed, they will forget about rape, it will make your opponent and the moderator go on defense at having to explain why being fully pro life is some how immoral and why massacring babies is a holy sacrament to women and progressives.
This is how you have to handle this crap.

No its not a better answer.

You have to put these pricks on the defense.
We have a situation where being fully pro-life is being painted as a bizarre and immoral position and that being fully pro-life is the default and moral position.
Why do you think rape and abortion are being co-mingled, huh?
It's because the progressives are trying to create the meta-narrative where pro-life = pro-rape.

You start getting on very shaky ground when you talk about "God's will" in anything but the most general sense. It is God's will that we consider life a sacred gift. It is not always His will that we protect a specific life.
Mostly, it's safer just to avoid appeals to "God's will" when you're talking specifics- and the question of rape is *always* specific.
As for Mourdock's statement- the only problem with it is it requires people to use their brains and think. Unfortunately, the Media has succeeded in making that a dangerous, if not completely self-defeating, tactic.
Americans will never tolerate honor killings in this country.
Except in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the "health" of the mother. Then it's Game On.

"It's because the progressives are trying to create the meta-narrative where pro-life = pro-rape."
Every time a reporter asks about abortion, just ask the report in response, "Why do you support the torture and murder of innocent human beings who have committed no crimes?"
Just respond with that every time. Don't let them build their narrative, just counter every single time with the reminder of what abortion really is - severing an unborn baby's spinal cord with a pair of scissors, prior to vacuuming them out like they were a dustbunny behind a bookshelf.

Because many/most American Jews are more leftist than they are Jewish. Sad to say. But there seems to be at least some movement in that group...wasn't it yesterday or the day before, there was a story out about a lifelong Dem ward president? Rabbi? Ack, my memory sucks...anyways...a well known Jewish Democrat from NY was campaigning with and/or for Romney in and around one of the big Jewish communities in Florida. So maybe Barky has managed to make at least some of them wake up and smell the anti-Semitism that the Democrat party reeks of. Maybe. Hopefully.

"I appreciate that a lot of folks believe that abortion is acceptable, or even desirable, in the case of rape. I think that is a morally (and logically) indefensible position if you believe that human life begins during fetal development (or at conception), but it will take time to persuade the majority of that view."
Here's the dirty little secret - a slim majority DOES hold the view that abortion is morally wrong. The trouble lies in that, at the same time, a lot of folks want to have a "get out of responsibility free" card just in case the condom rips or something. Sort of like how most people will say they think that cheating on their spouse is wrong, yet something like a third of the country does it. the problem isn't *so much* in getting people to recognise the intrinsic wrongness of abortion, but in getting people to be morally, ethically, and logically consistent in their response to that knowledge.

1. The part of the brain that is well-developed in Jews, that is responsible for our success in science and medicine and philosophy, etc., overwhelms the political logic centers.
2. Guilt. Jews feel guilty that they have done well and others haven't, so they support idiot the left in its quest to flatten society.
3. Assimilation. Jews are embarrassed of their religion, and its obstinate refusal to just go away (Hitler gave it the old college try though!).
4. Misinterpretation of Jewish cultural support for the downtrodden.

"Supposed to" only applies if you want to win the election. The majority favors some degree of abortion right in the earliest stages. In Europe because they don't have a court precedent acting like a statute they can haggle over the number of weeks and things like that. It's insane to even bring it up because legislators can do so little about it. But any candidate is free to give the media the ammo they want to fit their narrative and lose as a consequence.
Most people seem to think women have a limited right to choose, quickly. Not nine months, or more, quickly. I realize that averaging opinion doesn't give an accurate take of the variety and passion, but that's where the uncomfortable center seems to be.

If one does not believe in God, of course it's possible to answer those questions differently, but it's completely illogical to say God is God (omnipotent), yet intends only perfect children conceived in only perfect ways. Is it God's will that some children have birth defects, or are such children God's mistakes?
To argue with Mourdock's statement is to argue either atheism or at the least for a touchy-feely Christianity that is not internally consistent (which, unfortunately, is the kind of Christianity many who never bother to examine their own beliefs glide through life with).

It's one of the things the Church of Christ, somehow, as largely avoided. I think it's because we always notice what happened to the Jerusalem Church in Acts when Jesus didn't immediately return.
Yeah, they all shared and had "no poor among them," until they were all needy because none of them could afford to buy food anymore.
But it is something that hits the Christian community all too often. We see people in need, and we want to help them. Too few people consider that it's not "charity" when you're stealing from one person to subsidize another.
Then there's that whole "he who won't work shouldn't eat" thing.

Are you referring to Benghazi? Then yes. He knew. He knew for 10 months prior to the attack that the entire American Mission in Libya was understaffed and poorly secured. He knew for several months that the Benghazi mission was exceptionally dangerous. He knew of the attack immediately, and that it was a terror attack within 2 hours (BTW- if the reporting that the attack went on for 7 is correct, that means it continued for 5 hours after he knew it was a terror attack, and support could have been there within 1 - 3 hours).
I've got the last to parts of my review of those Benghazi documents going up today. Look for the penultimate entry in about 15 minutes.

And to be honest, any Republican who gives any answer to a reporter asking this question should either walk away or not answer because they will ALWAYS take what they say out of context and then twist that to come up with their favored spin which is that Republicans are twisted and vicious "Right wing Christians" who will put women back in the kitchen bare foot and pregnant and the blacks back onto the plantation.

But, it's pointless, because no one will really care and it ruins the momentum Romney is building. It's just a news cycle distraction.
In a country with a 50% divorce rate, no one will care.

Seriously, one of them said that when I was talking about the various lefty schemes unleashed on Africa from malaria to solar power.

Although he claims to be pro life, his record isn't all that clear or that good.
It was one of his negatives that kept pro lifers from jumping on his bandwagon during the primaries. Now they have no choice (yuk yuk) and must support the best of a bad situation.
He also may just be expressing his disdain for those who talk to reporters without inwardly screening what they say because he knows that a reporter is the enemy and will use any scant excuse to smear a Republican.
I disdain them also. They're committing own goals by being forthright and honest to a reporter.

In the midst of a long and ongoing series of lies that are Benghazi Gate (where four Americans were murdered) that is at least as bad as Fast and Furious where hundreds were murdered, and what some call as bad or worse than Watergate where nobody was murdered, SCOAMF is now running on trust.

No woman I've ever known who lived through that era seems to remember some hellish existence that only seems to have happened in the popular-among-leftists conceptualization of the time.

The Republicans are only "behind" in social media because it is primarily a tool of one voter segment that has always been loyal to Democrats -- young people. So, social media isn't the cause but the product of that Democrat advantage. The Republicans still have the advantage of their voters being more apt to vote in elections, regardless of whether they are targeted through social media, radio ads, or direct mail pieces.

Of course, if you don't follow many Republicans or conservatives on Twitter, you probably think we are, since you would be living in your self-created bubble.
Reince Priebus has shown a particular gift for using the social media to amplify messages and get people involved. The democrat efforts at social media use are juvenile and often inaffective.
You may now resume your pathetic attempts at trolling.

Talk with someone who lived during the fifties - those were the proverbial "good ole days". Most would happily relive those days.
Good ole days? Please! Check out the lyrics on any popular MTV song today, "Stupid bitch better shake her whore ass when I snap my fingers", vs. the womyn hating songs of the fifties, "Teen Angel", "Runaway", etc. Clearly, "bobby socks" were the burqas of Right Wing misogyny back in the day.

I haven't always agreed with the decisions of voters when electing Presidents, but I certainly understood why a candidate won each election.

Well, we'll see about that. In fact, it looks like it has worked quite well. Obama, by rights, should lose in a landslide, but it's still a squeaker. If he does manage to pull it out, the history books will not be talking about how the negative campaigning didn't work; they'll be talking about how a lousy incumbent with a horrible record was still able to win, if only barely.
Posted by: Cornfed at October 24, 2012 06:17 AM (Hoy9u)
The Massachusetts senate race is one of the most important to Republicans keen on recapturing control of the Senate. But incumbent GOP Sen. Scott Brown says it doesn't much matter to him which party wins the majority in Washington.
"For me it doesn't really matter who's in charge," says the junior senator, who adds the real problem is the dwindling number of moderate Democrats and Republicans in the Senate.
"You still need to get to 60 votes," says Brown. "I'm tired of the gridlock. It makes me just so disgusted to walk in there and see, you know, the usual spotting on votes on both sides."
Brown says if Republicans gain control of the Senate, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the current minority leader, will still have to "earn my vote."
"I'm not going to be happy with the gridlock that we've had, so I'm going to wait and see and see who emerges, see if anyone's going to challenge him, and then I'll figure it out," says the junior senator, who agrees that McConnell bears some of the blame for the constant obstruction.

In any case, your comment is a non sequitur as I said nothing about the victim's mental reaction, etc. that would require my having the ability to put myself in the woman's place.
My comment--which mostly took the form of questions--was about theological consistency regarding conception: is a sperm fertilizing an egg a divine miracle? You may say no, and in that case the two of us need not examine this subject further.
It seems, however, Todd Akin-like buffoonery to say God guides that one out of 200 million sperm directly to the egg when the sex is willing, but the resulting child is an evil cosmic accident when the sex is not.

Right.
Like the great scientists who reported cognitive dysfunction in menopause to be a myth.
In other words, they are talking out of their asses.

Much simpler issues actually. Whether the victim of rape consents to be pregnant on top of the initial assault. It's not a simple question in the case of rape.

When will Republicans ever learn? The Media will NEVER like you, their whole purpose is not to listen to you or allow you to air your views, it is to DESTROY you and your beliefs. EVERY time you talk to them, they are looking for ammo to USE AGAINST YOU. Regard every reporter the same way you would regard a rabid dog.

Texas noticed the UN and told them their poll watchers are not welcome here, their opinions are "legally irrelevant."
Hell, let 'em come here if they want. Just make sure they're wearing those stupid blue helmets so we know who to keep our kids away from.

1) It looks like Michael Mann, global warming hoaxer, is suing National Review et al. for noticing his hoax. Discovery ought to be fun.

2) (Linked on Drudge) A black woman apparently set herself on fire and framed the KKK for it. I recently read Ann Coulter's Mugged that contains a section on fake hate crimes so I immediately questioned the veracity of the story yesterday of the racist attack but concluded that this must be an actual racist attack because nobody, and I mean nobody, would douse themselves in an accelerant and set themselves on fire to fake a hate crime. But I guess I was wrong again. This twenty year old woman is in critical condition in intensive care and has massive thrid degree burns over her body.

Yes. I suppose it was about time for another Ace "we can't win!" meltdown, and the polls have been too good lately for him to have one over those. I wouldn't mind missing this one.
I think Mourdock would be smart to cut a new ad just replaying the question and his answer - in its entirety - with something like "just in case you wanted to know what I really said since the news media won't tell you the truth" as the voice over tag at the end. I think his actual answer was fine.

Good ad. Most of theirs have been. It might just be the channels I regularly watch, but I've seen far more of that group's ads playing here in Virginia than I have ads from the Romney campaign.
Posted by: davidinvirginia at October 24, 2012 07:25 AM (qEkGZ)
Not really. Nobody ever said that 100% negative campaigning was any kind of panacea. Negative campaigning works when combined with positive tactics, woven together into an overall comprehensive strategy that both raises doubts about one's opponent and assuages doubt about one's self. Going entirely negative turns around all those doubts and generates the stink of hollowness and desperation that typically cloaks losing campaigns - kinda like a certain one headquartered in Chicago right now.

Blame that bitch Betty Friedan. The Feminine Mystique did more damage to society than you can imagine. And all because she didn't feel "fulfilled."

Carney today told reporters that there were emails about all sorts of information that was coming available in the aftermath of the attack. "There was a variety of information coming in," Carney said. "The whole point of an intelligence community and what they do is to assess strands of information and make judgments about what happened and who was responsible."
Moreover, officials said, the intelligence community still believes there wasn't a tremendous amount of planning before the attack. A terrorist group carrying it out doesn't mean it wasn't an opportunistic attack, officials said.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, Rick, let me answer you short term and long term. In the short term, the good news is that thereÂ’s going to be a forcing mechanism to deal with what is the central ideological argument in Washington right now, and that is: How much government do we have and how do we pay for it?
So when you combine the Bush tax cuts expiring, the sequester in place, the commitment of both myself and my opponent -- at least Governor Romney claims that he wants to reduce the deficit -- but weÂ’re going to be in a position where I believe in the first six months we are going to solve that big piece of business.
