Unhinged Nutroots Reaction Thread

Tip me any you find in the comments.

Rocks sends this charmingly enlightened analysis.

A cynic might suggest that McCain - who has been awkwardly courting the more disaffected Hillblazers since Hillary Clinton lost her bid - chose Palin because he could use her as a stronger selling point to PUMAs. And this cynic is suggesting it’s part of the reason.
True, it’s not as simple as all that. McCain wants to balance his ticket with someone who doesn’t remember the League of Nations. And how better to deflect the full impact of Barack Obama’s historical acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium than with historic news of his own? But based on his continued insistent pandering to a demographic not traditionally receptive to the GOP, his line of thinking can’t be far from this: “Man, those bitches really loved Hillary. If I can get them to vote for me, I bet I can win this thing. What if I ask my painted trollop cunt wife to run with me? Nah, no one will buy that. What if I ask some other trollop? Feminists don’t care about womens issues, they just want to see one of their own in power. They’ll eat this shit up.”
I feel McNasty just skimming the Arizona Senator’s mind. If anyone needs me I’ll be throwing up, or as McCain inaccurately and archaically terms it, “sojourning in the vomitorium.”

Nuance. Layers. Progressive thought.

And Andrew Sullivan Demonstrates That Not-Charming Lack of Self Awareness We've Come to Not Love:

[McCain is] willing to let personal liking and respect for utterly unqualified people trump the sober responsibilities of running a country at war...

Hmm... kinda like your mancrush on Obama leads you to think this zero-experience piker is ready to be CinC?

Previewing Josh Marshall's Racial Decoder Ring: BigE--

I'm sorry, there's one thing that concerns me on this pick. How can we be sure that Obama won't just steal her away and make her part of his haram of white women? Wait a minute I get it now. McCain made this pick to subtly play on my gutwrenching fear that black men are going to steal all of our white women. My god, how could I have missed it. McCain's pick of Sara Palin for Vice President is RACIST!!1!1!

2 Obama/Biden issued a really classy insincere statement after their campaign attacked Palin:

“We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the republican nominee for Vice President. It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign."

9 this is exactly the kind of crap that is going on all over america. Women in offices all over this country are hearing this crap, some even nodding but silently mad (like the Bradley effect, I guess). I am hoping all the oozing sexism just keeps pouring out, and as polls slip, it gets ever worse. Women are well aware of what sexism is all about. And liberals love to assume everyone agrees with them. Many don't have that 'politics' filter in polite company.

I don't think Fox News was right that Obama would be ahead by ten in a few days (that's what their poll dude said after the greek speech).

Here's a catch from Andi: McCain is "willing to let personal liking and respect for utterly unqualified people trump the sober responsibilities of running a country at war ..."

Sullivan has zero self-awareness.

Posted by: gp at August 29, 2008 02:06 PM (B9rV2)

11 And like magic, all the news stations have changed their tune... no longer are they complaining about foreign affairs experience and now they are talking about 'more of the same, vs change we need". Slapped to a 'we congratulate her, and we certainly respect her experience (that they didn't respect 5 fucking minutes ago). Each station is saying the same thing.

They are reeling in Obamaworld.

This is Andrew Sullivan on our life today: "a country at war, a climate in flux, an economy in trouble, and an empire close to imploding".

Sullivan gleefully quotes from Ramesh Ponnuru's reservations about Palin when Sullivan likes what he hears; despite that he had, not 24 hours earlier, slimed Ponnuru for the [Bircher] "paranoid style" when Ponnuru dared compare Obama's rhetoric with his actual actions. He turns them into insults on the post's title, and adds some more: "utterly unqualified", "Miers", "Vice-President for Oil".

There is also mail from unhinged "former republicans" who agree with him, but you knew there would be.

"my painted trollop cunt wife"

I'm sure that's just how women like to be thought of. I guess it's okay though, I mean she is the wife of a Republican after all.

There's some rappers coming on strong for Barry. You know, the ones who constantly refer to women as ho's and bitches. I even understand that there's now a bumper sticker for Barry's women voters:

"This little Ho is voting for Big O" [ I shamelessly borrowed that from another blog ]

Yeh, I don't think they can get far with looking down on her. I'm glad so much of the media spewed out their dislike right away. It won't be forgotten in this day and age of blogs and YouTube. They look petty and mean...because they are.

Heh.

Posted by: JackStraw at August 29, 2008 02:26 PM (VBon8)

27 My boss just sent me an e-mail that his Obama-loving son sent him at 11am this morning. In it, he says that Palin doesn't have the blue collar appeal that Hillary has, so he won't get her voters. Yah, okay.

But even better than that, he finishes with this brilliant analysis:

Gallup Poll is currently 46% Obama - 42%McCain. Mccain receiving no bump from his selected female vp

Remember, this was sent 1 hour BEFORE the selection of Palin was made official.

Such intelligence is a rarity, don't ya think? Or at least, I would hope so.

28 Just a cursory examination of some lefty sites presents the expected reactions -- I really don't understand their fascination with the word "cunt."

Posted by: brak at August 29, 2008 02:34 PM (y69VL)

29 folks at work are talking about her... all the vocal ones are liberal.

One dude says he's from Alaska, so 'take it from me', this was a stupid pick. No elaboration. I would be quite happy to let Alaska choose which ticket is better.

If you measure experience by accomplishments, you have a woman who has done a hell of a lot of good and earned the love of Alaska, vs. Obama, who has no accomplishments.

Apparently Mayor is less than community organizer (and a failure at it, despite huge funding). Apparently governor and commander in chief of Alaska is inferior to being a 'present' voting senator. Hell, what has Biden accomplished? Offering blank checks to Iran? Palin is more qualified for the office than Biden is.

Like I said earlier, this will become much more aggressive once it's clear the polls are turning wildly towards Mccain. If they had anything on her we'd already have heard it. All they have is that she fired a cop for hitting his wife and threatening her father. Only Dukakis wouldn't fire for that.

Posted by: ▄█▀ █■█ █ █▄ █▄ at August 29, 2008 02:35 PM (8jYMc)

30 Senator Hopenchange's "bounce" probably isn't going to last long, given the vibe Palin's getting today.

I read somewhere today that Palin represents the "high risk/high reward" VP pick, but I'm not so sure about the "risk" part -- the GOP was going to be a long-shot this year no matter who ran on the ticket. I think that McCain/Palin is probably the best ticket the GOP could have mustered, all things considered. Not who I would have chosen personally (I was, and am, a Fred! guy), but probably the two people best positioned to woo fence-sitting Democrats over to the GOP side. There are a hell of a lot of blue-dog Dems in middle America that aren't nuts about Senator Hopenchange, and they're not just bitter Hillary supporters.

Posted by: Monty at August 29, 2008 02:36 PM (4Pleu)

31 Monty, no doubt. Mccain is fighting well, but he's fighting uphill. He's doing it right, but the GOP predecessor is the least popular prez in modern history (which is such a disgrace, and we'll miss him).

Wiserbud, I imagine there are a lot of cocky smirks right now. Imagine, after all this convention grandiosity, Obama is basically where he was a week before the convention.

34

I think, given her experience running Alaska she should have her own separate song, "I do; Obama hopes." Out with the Greek Temple, in with the tiara.

I'll get to work on it. It'll drive the Dems bats until they realize too late that the election is already won by McCain-Palin

Posted by: Zero Point? at August 29, 2008 02:47 PM (o4MaC)

35 Re Sullivan:

The Democrats have to be careful, now, and so does the press. Much of what they’d like to say about Palin - about age, experience, identity politics, etc - will only open the door to similar inquiry about Obama. And the bottom line to those sorts of debates will always be this: Palin is at the bottom of the ticket; Obama is at the top.

37 Why do they even bother? If there's one sign this was a good pick, it's trolls going nuts over it. We liked the fact Biden was picked - they don't like Palin, if you're in the opposition, it's the former that you have to be more concerned about.

41 well they will flail around a while screaming like Pris in Blade Runner but they will settle down eventually and start harping on how corrupt the congressmen from Alaska are and how she's not really a woman because of her stands on "women's issues" and how Senator Biden will demolish her in debates (where did he get a rep as a great debater? He was basically a nonentity in the zillion Democratic debates), and so on. They just haven't gotten their talking points together yet, Senator McCain really caught them unprepared with this one.

44 Dee Dee Myers in Vanity Fair (link at Real Clear Politics) said

"It’s not political to say that John McCain turns 72 today. That he’s a cancer survivor. That he spent six years being tortured and abused in a Vietnamese prison camp. Those are the physical realities of his life, and pure and simple, they demanded that he chose a running mate who is ready, really ready. That he put country first. Today, he failed that test."

So Dee Dee's requirements for the top of the ticket: breathing. Bottom of the ticket: ready to run the country. How could she support the O otherwise?

Oddly, Dee Dee didn't mention the life expectancy of a 72 year old male in a discussion of the liklihood of McCain's death during a hypothetical Presidency. She must have missed the day logic was taught in J school.
