The Rant & Vent about the Right Wing thread

Sad to say Tony LaRussa and Albert Pujols fell for Glenn Beck's malarkey...

Best line of the day, from FB-friend and "Funky 16 Corners" proprietor Larry Grogan:  "The Glenn Beck rally is for people who saw a sign that said 'Free Black People' and thought it meant that they each got one of their own."

Grogan's a right-on mofo.

Interested to hear the final crowd estimate; early ones have varied wildly.

Interesting to note (as I already have on FB) that the Cardinals have lost 5 straight games since LaRussa and Pujols appeared at Beck's shindig. Hrm.

Let's be honest: they appeared at Glenn Beck's Nazi rally. (as most know, I'm not close to being liberal. I'm probably the most conservative person on this board, though not right-wing)

I guess we can all agree about Glenn Beck.  But it's funny how some of my facebook friends 'like' Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.    Weird.

I'm so tired of the onslaught of Meg Whitman ads.  Here's Jerry Brown's new ad:

I'm quite worried. I think Boxer can fend off Carly Fee-Arena (that "I want to overturn Roe v Wade" soundbite *ought* to seal Carly's doom, at any rate), but Jerry really needs to kick it up a notch or twelve.

I'm hoping Jerry's just being cagey.  No way you can counterpunch an endless supply of paid political announcements.  Perhaps it's smart to just wait until the last part of the campaign (that would be now!) to get going.  With the public's short term memory, much of the early effort is just wasted.

White collared conservative flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high

listening to WLNG as I do, I've heard a LOT of campaign commercials the past few weeks for the primary yesterday; mainly spots for Chris Cox, a repug wanting to run for Congress from eastern LI. He was trumpeting himself as a 'true conservative', 'pro-life', blahblahblah... turns out he is the son of Tricia Nixon Cox and grandson of ol' Tricky Dick himself.  (He lost, BTW.) He also has a slutty-looking fiancee that he began dating when she was 17 and he was 28...
