Syndicate this site (XML) Powered by Movable Type	Copenhagen Update: Chicago Out in First Round of Voting Breaking. Updates to follow. Geraghty over on Twitter: I think I'm a bit offended for Obama and Chicagoans. The leader of the free world just dropped everything to kiss some IOC ass. No kidding. Some additional thoughts: I was sure this thing was in the bag, mostly because I could not imagine Obama being so dumb as to actually take this risk with his credibility. So I was wrong about that. Either he is this dumb, or he's extremely naīve about his negotiating ability. Can't wait to see him leverage that action with Iran. Secondly, it's not as if we haven't heard the IOC has a few integrity issues. He had to know what he was dealing with, including their propensity to snub the U.S. when given the opportunity. Which he served up on a frickin ginormous platter with this stunt. Can't wait to see how he spins it though. My guess, "Bush damaged our relationships with the rest of the world so badly that I we simply couldn't overcome it. We have a lot, a lot of repair ahead of us". Or words to that effect. little slip there, this is one situation where he won't use "I" in the speech. This post is racially offensive and I'm re-rebanning myself. tip via email from Slublog EXCLUSIVE! Must Credit Ace Of Spades HQ! [DrewM.] President Obama Emails to say, "I went all the way to Copenhagen and all I got was a meeting with an Army general!" ONE MORE: Heh. I did not see that coming! SECOND UPDATE from lauraw below the fold. Lefties snark: Slublog emails that leftist sites have a lot of comments like "conservatives who wanted Chicago to lose the Olympics are unpatriotic." Ninja please. You wanted us to lose a war to damage Bush. I didn't want Chicago to lose. Honestly I didn't care. But when the President of the United States puts his credibility on the line with the rest of the world, I want him to win. Not get his ass handed to him. Wearing "mom" jeans. Thanks to Cuffy Meigs.

Now all those protesters will have to buy tickets for out of the country and most of them can't afford it dut to being out of work. Can we get some Gov. money to ship these assholes one way?

Posted by: Reiver at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (Yi1Sk) 53 Theblacksphere Olympics is subterfuge to get our eyes of the "DeathCare" ball! Stay vigilant people! ...and his next trip to Copenhagen is to destroy what's left of the U.S. economy to fight carbon dioxide. Don't forget that, either. Posted by: HeatherRadish at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (NtiET) 54 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Posted by: Cicero at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (jsn41) 55 Remember this day October 2, 2009. From this point forward, all future histories will record this as the day that Obama officially Jumped the Shark. Posted by: wws at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (T1boi) 56 Where can I get my "I spent millions of taxpayer money to secure the 2016 Olympics and all I got was this T-shirt" t-shirt? Posted by: yinzer at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (/Mla1) 57 I could have sworn I heard the IOC mutter an unspoken (boy) when they denied our president his games. Posted by: Maureen Dowd at October 02, 2009 11:36 AM (+FzLa) 58 And now Daly and all his cronies are saddled with useless land they bought up. Nice. Posted by: tangonine at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (C8Pcc) 59 I guess Barry just found a country he WOULD go to war with. Watch out, Denmark! He's gonna be very, very disappointed with you! Strong letter to follow! Posted by: Sort-of-Mad Max at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (aC0uO) 60 Rush had better have medics standing by because odumbass has started his road to complete failure and ineptness and incompetence!!!!!, Whoooooo Hooooooooo!!! IMPEACH!!! Posted by: 'Nam Grunt at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (hoiSA) 61 I can't believe M'chelle was unable to use her charming personality and super-model good looks to persuade the IOC. Posted by: Dang Straights at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (Haq+B) 62 This would not have happened if George Bush had not invaded Iraq.^tm Yes, I'm trademarking it becasue it will show up in any number of lefty explanations in 3...2....1..... Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (B+qrE) 63 Beck was wrong. He said the won wasn't a gambler and wouldn't have put this much of his rep on the line without it already being sewn up. Turns out the won is a gambler. That only makes the outlook for our country's future bleaker. Posted by: Scott J. at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (/bVuS) 64 Slamming America during the Apology tour pays off. Chickens roosting and all that.

I was pretty sure it'd go to Rio. But out in the first round? Apparently the President is as bad at convincing semi-corrupt (they've recently been full-on corrupt, but I think the current IOC President has a genuine desire to keep things clean) international organizations as he is at convincing petty tinpot dictators and, well, everyone else. Posted by: MikeJ at October 02, 2009 11:37 AM (oN8K4) 68 I want to dip my balls in something.... Posted by: steevy Don't look at me.

Posted by: Dang at October 02, 2009 11:38 AM (6L3mJ) 71 Those foreign sons of bitches! I wish I was there so Barry could lay his head on my heaving chest and I could comfort the poor boy. I am so sad. Posted by: David Brooks at October 02, 2009 11:38 AM (Ay6D+) 72 Hey, aren't you glad we finally have a President whose word carries weight around the world? No Bread is one level of failure, but No Circuses is EPIC. Posted by: Little Miss Spellcheck at October 02, 2009 11:38 AM (xqhoO) 73 The IOC acted 'stupidly' Posted by: Barry O at October 02, 2009 11:38 AM (J7/Ud) 74 i think we're going to have to invent a new word to describe the scale of this failure. Posted by: Shoey at October 02, 2009 11:38 AM (RxUMK) 75 Barry will have to send some SEIU thugs over to Copenhagen to straighten them out. Posted by: TheQuietMan at October 02, 2009 11:39 AM (1Jaio) 76 Dear Leader can't fail so what will the spin be? Posted by: TheQuietMan at October 02, 2009 11:39 AM (1Jaio) 77 This is why you don't put your prestige on the line for an event like this. It was unimportant if you win and makes you look foolish if you lose, along with being wasteful. He humiliates the country by not defending it in front of some third worlders and still gets jammed. Posted by: ed at October 02, 2009 11:39 AM (Urhve) 78 Epic fail by O, the Wookie and the Talk Queen. FTLs! (Fck Their Lives!) Posted by: TheresaD at October 02, 2009 11:39 AM (iGCmo) 79 At least we still have the Special Olympics, don't we. Don't we? Posted by: genghis at October 02, 2009 11:39 AM (1XErj) 80 Can we talk about Afghanistan now? Posted by: Gen. McChrystal at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (Vui52) 81 I had wondered if the Danes & company might actually have been insulted instead of admiring when Michelle said it was a Huge sacrifice to go to the meetings There Posted by: willow at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (GkYyh) 82 I was torn between wanting this to happen and wanting Chicago to get the O-lympics just so some of Barry's lefty Chicago supporters who didn't want the olympics would be mad at Him. This is much, much sweeter! Another international wedgie for Captain Smart Diplomacy! Posted by: nightwitch at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (YVMan) 83 Drudge headline: THE EGO HAS LANDED. hahahahahahahhaha Posted by: Mr. Pink at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (SqAkN) 84 haha @ drudge! Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (jVldi) 85 The EGO has landed. HA HA HA HA What a headline. Perhaps crashed and burned would work also. No wait. save that one for 2012. Posted by: harleycowboy at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (JKGfQ) 86 Guess they should have sent them there street thugs to whoop some ass... Posted by: CSMBigBird at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (F6E7x) 87 Could anything more perfectly reveal the fatuousness of Obama's foreign policy? Face Time + Messianic Aura + HopeChangeHope = Healed World!... Right? Guess not. Posted by: CFR at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (W/1Q0) 88 They defied the Narcissist in Charge? Who will he take this out on? Someone's gotta pay. Someone always has to pay. Posted by: Dave C at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (La0Tt) 89 i think we're going to have to invent a new word to describe the scale of this failure* Failbama Posted by: joncelli at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (RD7QR) 90 Oh, get over it, Chicagoans! It's not like you're not used to rooting for a loser in October! Zing! Posted by: Bender Bending Rodriguez at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (r4j1P) 91 Teh awesome powers of persuasion of teh Won! Posted by: rawmuse at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (cuWk2) 92 Too bad Obama couldn't have had everyone on the ballout thrown out for this election. Posted by: harold bonesaw at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (QT6tW) 93 My hatred of the corrupt spectacle the Olympics has become makes this good news, in my book. I would be happy if the USA never hosted (or even attended) this stupid, expensive waste of time again. Posted by: Monty at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (4Pleu) 94 But .. but ... but ... Michelle and Oprah sacrificed so much to be there and do the oh-so-onerous grip-n-grin schtick ... how ... oh how ... ? Posted by: blender at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (EB1N6) 95 HAHA! Daley, Obama and Oprah just ate shit! A big bowl o' shit! As a Chicago taxpayer I couldn't be happier! The Olympic Committee looked at Chicago's crime, corruption, dysfunctional public transportation, understaffed police force and maybe even Obama's bloated ego and said go f*k yourselves! Awesome. Posted by: Crusty at October 02, 2009 11:40 AM (qzgbP) 96 Dear Leader can't fail so what will the spin be? 1) Rio needed the games more, so Wee Wee magnanimously gave up the games for Brazil 2) the IOC is full of racists 3) it's all BOOOOOSH'S FAULT!!!!111 Posted by: Dang Straights at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (Haq+B) 97 ...and after all o' that sacrificing and stuff, too!!!

Now I'm a fan! Posted by: Dang at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (6L3mJ) 102 flaming Narcissus? Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (jVldi) 103 Keep in mind this was a monumental task, requiring Obama to overcome monumental hurdles. We're talking about the IOC, the most feared and powerful institution the world has ever known. Convincing Iran to pretty-please stop building nukes by employing the brand new supergenius strategy of talking to them? Surely that will be much easier. Posted by: Hollowpoint at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (plsiE) 104 He'll say we acted stupidly. Posted by: The IOC at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (La0Tt) 105 And to think I woke up depressed today! Posted by: RushBabe at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (LKkE8) 106 I guess he didn't use enough Tough Forceful Diplomacy. Or the IOC is a bunch of stinking, tea-bagging, right-wing racists. Yeah, it's probably the latter. Really, I am surprised: I figured that since he was going over, the fix was in. Posted by: Gen. Sir Harry Flashman, VC at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (gns7l) 107 Rio is just too dangerous a city. Madrid in a walk. Posted by: JDW at October 02, 2009 11:41 AM (uw+0A) 108 Damn Danish Wookie-ists!

Posted by: Cicero at October 02, 2009 11:42 AM (jsn41) 110 All that sacrifice Michelle and Barack did for the Olympics.. gone. For naught. Posted by: Dave C at October 02, 2009 11:42 AM (La0Tt) 111 The AP still on its knees and sucking hard. Not even the presence of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama nor a long list of celebrities was enough to help the United States' third-largest city.* Chicago had seemed to pick up momentum in the last few days, with many International Olympic Committee members seemingly charmed by Mrs. Obama. But when IOC president Jacques Rogge announced the results of the first vote, Chicago's name was announced.

I would have thought that the corrupt IOC would find common cause with Daley's Chicago. So his first pitch didn't work. There are alot of other products and events that he can lend the full weight of his Presidency. I think that he could at least pitch Saltine crackers. If that doesn't work he can revive the American Express "Remember Me" commmercials. Posted by: FPC at October 02, 2009 11:44 AM (qZb8X) 140 And a big laugh at all of Daley's cronies who bought up all of the property where the Olympics would have been.

Today we have found out that there IS a God... and his name is NOT Barack Obama. Woohoo! GREAT start to the weekend. So, 8+ months in, let's go over Prezzeedent Obama's accomplishments: * Healthcare - nope * Cap and Tax - nope * Amnesty - nope * Close GITMO - nope * Afghanistan - nope * Economy - nope * Chicago Olympics - nope Well, if anything, he is consistent. Considering he had no accomplishments or successes before he became Prezzeedent (Community Organizing - FAIL, Chicago Annenberg Challenge - FAIL, Law Practice - FAIL). But, let's be serious, we all know why Chicago didn't get the bid: It's Bush's fault.

The city had also hosted the Gay Games in the summer of 2006. Wow, I can't believe boxing and gay games didn't seal the deal. Posted by: tachyonshuggy at October 02, 2009 11:50 AM (YRjsF) 206 I expect that this announcement (if true) is going to feed another round of "the US as a world power is diminishing!" hand-wringing. And I imagine that the O-bots are going to gnashing their teeth over the diss. (Obama! And Michelle! And Oprah! Oprah, by the nine billion names of God! How could they resist? They must all be racists!)

I think I see how Armageddon happens. The ONE gets tired of all the laughter, of being bitch slapped by a French President, of being laughed at by Iran, of Russia taking him for everything, and China buying America. And now the huge sacrifice of Michelle was ignored, not to mention the President of the United States was ignored, but then they are just following your words Mr.President...America is not any different or better than any other nation, that makes you not any better or more important than the President of Somalia, stupid liberal hippie moron.

"I honestly think it is Brazil's turn," he told the IOC session which will choose the 2016 hosts from Chicago, Madrid, Rio and Tokyo later on Friday. "It is South America's bid," he added. "This is a continent that has never held the Games. It is time to address this imbalance. "The opportunity now is to extend the Games to a new continent. It's an opportunity for an Olympics in a tropical country for the first time, to feel the warmth of our people, the exuberance of our culture and the sensation of our joy. "Rio is ready. Give us the chance and you will not regret it." The charismatic Brazilian president and other members of the Rio bid team constantly stressed that European, North American and Far Eastern nations had held a virtual monopoly on the Modern Games since it was inaugurated in 1896 Sheesh Obama, They spoke Nicely about Their country and it's Worth. a lesson maybe.

That and the fact that there's still an awful lot of anti-American sentiment in Europe, sentiment which Obama and his friends tirelessly stoked for years when it was in their interest to do so during the Bush years.

And greater for the fact that President Obama had taken valuable hours from his packed and tense political schedule to travel to Copenhagen. His legendary powers of persuasion will be said to have failed him, though in reality it will be Chicago's bid that failed him. Nonetheless, this is a moment which allows the president's detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency. And it will raise questions about the political advice that he is receiving." Nice job reporting while sucking Obambi's cock.

The reason that they hated George Bush is that he asserted American sovereignty. Not over Iraq and Afghanistan -- that was just to please the America-hate and America-jealousy in their countries -- but over trade and arms and a whole host of other things. Obama, being a feckless weasel, is easily rolled. That is why they like him. They can whine about American hegemony, and Obama will cave. On anything.

I think the presentation went well, don't you? D. Axelrod: Yes, My Lor...sir. Bringing Oprah Winfrey along was a stroke of genius, if I may say so. The world loves Oprah! Pres. Obama: And I thought Michelle made a powerful impression with her story about her father. D. Axelrod: I'm glad she went with that one instead of the one where he shot the crackhead who was trying to break into the house. The crackhead story just doesn't play as well outside Chicago. Pres. Obama: Um. And she does tend to become rather animated when telling that story. Calling fellow persons of color "motherfucker", even crack-addled housebreakers, really polls badly. D. Axelrod: Yes, Your Holine--I mean, yes sir. (An air force officer brings a printed sheet of paper to Axelrod, but keeps his eyes averted. As soon as Axelrod takes the paper, the Air Force man hurries away.) D. Axelrod: Ah! They've made their decision! Let's see-- (He reads for a bit, then blanches.) Pres.

He keeps doing this, betting the prestige of the Presidency on things that aren't sure things. And losing. Posted by: Rollory at October 02, 2009 12:02 PM (A8ejN) 323 At the end of every Olympic Games it had become a tradition for the head of the IOC to term the just-concluded Games as the best ever. That is, until Atlanta. Samaranche just couldn't say it after the buses failed and the organizers were so hell-bent on making money. Just one example: Remember the teary scene at the end of the girls gymnastics team event with our coach holding the valiant winner in his arms because of a bad ankle? The truth is the Romanian team was the best that year and everyone knew it. But to save money they had to share space with several other sports. One of the sports had to get up at 4:00AM to drive far North for their event and Gymnastics, for US ratings, finished competition at midnight and then had to do drug testing and eat. Nobody got any sleep in that unit. Moreover, the buses were so unreliable the team had to leave many hours early just to be sure they got there. This disturbs the whole eating, practice and preparation schedule so important to Olympic athletes. In contrast, the US team rented a house across from the venue and had none of those problems. Right, we screwed over our guests and it helped us win. Within the Olympic movement, Atlanta is considered one of the worst Olympics and you can blame them for this. Posted by: Robert at October 02, 2009 12:03 PM (cd6Ip) 324 63 Beck was wrong. He said the won wasn't a gambler and wouldn't have put this much of his rep on the line without it already being sewn up. Turns out the won is a gambler. That only makes the outlook for our country's future bleaker. No, he's not a gambler. From his perspective, and from what he experienced in the campaign, he just has to show up and make a speech in order for everyone to fall in line behind his plan. He might have considered how well that seems to have worked with his healthcare address to a joint session of Congress.

It was by far the worst of the 4 presentations -- well, maybe better than Tokyo. Obama was all about "me," predictably.

Nonetheless, this is a moment which allows the president's detractors to allege waning prestige on the part of his presidency. And it will raise questions about the political advice that he is receiving." I have never believed that.. it's the LWM's (Left Wing Media) narrative of BHO.. He can't talk a duck into water without the alphabet networks anchors helping along, excusing his inabilities.

It was probably just to much for those elites, who are the ones who really hate America not just who's President, to resist. That said...screw Chicago.

Yes, that's right, it's Bush's fault the bajillions of guvment dollars thrown at the economy since Obumma took over ain't working.

No one over there has found a good talking point yet, other than to blame Chicago for pressuring Obama to get into the situation. Watch for the websites to be scrubbed of all those "Chicago is gaining momentum stories" real soon and, instead, new people to add insightful analysis of how it was always a long shot and that it was even being seriously considered is a testament to the international good will and admiration developed by our President.

Posted by: MikeO at October 02, 2009 12:24 PM (WvolZ) 452 Just thought of this!!! Will any media have the balls to run the video of Obama hearing the announcement?

Posted by: George Orwell at October 02, 2009 12:43 PM (AZGON) 545 My two cents: Obama never had a chance and the US was cooked the minute that they sent Michelle Obama and Oprah to try to persuade cough strong arm* cough the IOC. They were in over their heads. The IOC is composed of aristocrats, princes and royalty. For example, Crown Prince Willem of the Netherlands is the reason why baseball/softball were dropped from the Olympics. Why? Because these were perceived as American sports and baseball would not submit to doping tests but mostly because it was perceived as American sports. I use that as an example because the anti-American strain at the IOC is deep and pervasive. Does anyone here think that Michelle Obama is a nuanced diplomat? Or that Oprah would dazzle the aristocrats? Me neither. The "Chicago Way" clearly left a lot to be desired with the IOC.

FWIW, the WaPo has cut off comments to this breaking news... Posted by: Jess at October 02, 2009 12:45 PM (AeUql) 556 This likely was just an artifact of the voting system. From the voting, it seems clear that if we survived the first round, we would have won. The two second tier teams convinced enough IOC members (who assumed it would come down to Rio\|Chicago) to give them their first round vote so that they would make it to the second elimination point. A majority of these members would then give their second round vote to Chicago and away we would go. Madrid\|Tokyo > Rio\|Chicago in the first round. This is what happens when Chicago politicians are asked to use mathematics. If it was a typical election in Chicago, with one round, we would have won as they had the "numbers" -- just not the order.

She recounted sitting on his lap, watching Olympians such as Carl Lewis and Nadia Comaneci compete... She was born in '64. Lewis' first Olympics was in 1984.

Posted by: Blazer at October 02, 2009 12:54 PM (+FzLa) 605 Hey, guys, this the IOC! Very Europe-oriented. Not likely at this point to be all that impressed with a guy who's made a point of dissing Europe and every ally in it. His giving the Europeans the finger at every opportunity may have won Obama some points with the homies, but I don't think it's gone over well in Europe, where they have mostly written him off as an arrogant, ignorant clod. You're right, though, it is in the bag - the guy representing Madrid, Juan Samarranch, was the IOC Chairman in the 1980's and 1990's and he has a lot of clout with the IOC, and is well thought of in international circles.

I heard the CBC announcer breathlessly predicting this morning that Chicago would win because Obama is sooooo popular. And the black African countries would just LOVE to see him get the Olympics. Which struck me as a bit farfetched, even without thinking about it too carefully - why would black Africans care about Obama's success? Surely they'd prefer to get the Olympics for their own countries, or at least somewhere in Africa. Chicago is still America, after all; it was pretty naive to think that one election would suddenly make the rest of the world forget their own interests or even history. Some of them have grudges and resentments going back decades; it always seemed to me that the urge to score a point against the U.S. would outweigh any purely sentimental approval they might feel for Obama.

Thing is, this is the first time a South American country has hosted the Olympics, Brazil has a significant African population, and it could well be considered a "dark corner of the world, " particularly if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time (huge crime problems throughout Rio and Sao Paolo.)

"We're all watching the coverage. Sen. Durbin was fully behind the bid, and it's disappointing." Durbin, the assistant Senate majority leader, was a late entry to the Illinois delegation to Copenhagen and was on board Air Force One with President Obama when the crushing news came.

It is a major take down on his leadership and power, which impacts the stature of the United States of America around the world. How seriously do you think A-jad, Putin, Jong Il, Chavez, etc... are going to take O'doofus? What ramifications will that have for the security of our country? And I'm not talking about impacts now, but the impact this is going to have starting now and well into the future. His decision on Afghanistan looms large. The direction he goes will send a HUGE signal across the globe. We are standing witness to something I thought I'd never see as a PROUD AMERICAN! It is not just the present for which we should all worry, but the future. And, it's not just the future of the USA, but the future of a world that is led by the likes of Russia, China and EU. No other country carries within its DNA the qualities we Americans attribute to all human beings and who has led with these deeply embedded values. Say what you might about Bush, but the tough fight in Iraq took down a murderous government and provided the "opportunity" of liberty for the Iraqi people. Freedom is never won. It is an ongoing battle that must be fought every day lest it be pulled from beneath us and those who believe. As Americans we must continue to fight against the oppression of government just as the brave Iraqis must continue to fight for the liberty they desire. In my mind Obama has no appreciation for the principles upon which this great country was built or for the REAL sacrifice it took to create it and keep it. For those of you who want to call me racist. Fine. But the problem I have is with the prinicples and policies of this man and those who surround him. I don't believe all them are black BTW. And if you still have to bring race into this, then I'm pissed at the half-white guy! "A white man's greed drives a world in need" Think about that quote for a minute, then look at the greed driving this WH and the Dem Congress.

This is one of the saddest things Ive ever seen. Really dumbass? 9-11 ring any bells? If I was his boss I'd fire him on the spot for stupidity. Many stood for a few minutes, staring at the screen, and at least one flung his hands into the air in a crude gesture toward the TV screen. Stay classy Chicago.

Well, if he does that he'd better send enough troops and equipment to overpower the opposition. I don't want the blood of American troops used to wash away his shame. My recollection is that Clinton used to pull military crap whenever he needed a distraction and it didn't go well for our guys when he did.

You will lose Congress in 2010. You will lose the White House in 2012. We will drink your milkshake. We will laugh at your misfortune. Madame President will be sworn in January 2013, and she will gloat over you. Illegals will be deported. Terrorists will be killed. Hippies will be punched in the face. Many bros will be tased. Your welfare will be cut off and you will have to get real jobs, except for Heinous Clod, who will be arrested and sentenced to life for raping children in Thailand.

When the Iraq war looked to be in the bag, the blog owner began to open up registration to about 50-75 new people a day with the future intention of weeding out all the conservatives. Now LGF is a Leftie blog again, competing for Leftist traffic with all the other Leftie blogs, while carrying the baggage of being a PRO-WARBLOG made popular by conservatives who invented terms like moonbat, Libtard, el-Cubo, and Moby to describe Leftists.
