Juan Cole looks at the ReThug field as to how bigoted they have been toward Muslims.
McCain has said some things which are real doozies.
They also reveled in their own ignorance -- never learning the difference between "Islamic" and "Muslim."
"Islamic" has to do with the religion founded by the prophet Mohammed. We speak of Islamic ethics or Islamic art, as things that derive from the religion. "Muslim," on the contrary, describes the believer. It would be perfectly all right to talk about Muslim terrorists, but calling them Islamic terrorists or Islamic fascists implies that the religion of Islam is somehow essentially connected to those extremist movements.

Look who's crying now. Why it's sprezzatura.
Quote from review:
One of the oldest and soundest rules in intellectual life is “never get in a parsing contest with a skunk.” It is a principle that the lively, intelligent, combative cultural critic Lee Siegel forgot in autumn 2006, when he gave in to the temptation to respond to comments about him posted on his blog at The New Republic’s Web site. Some of the comments were anonymous and abusive — featuring allegations of chromosomal deficiencies and pedophilia — and Siegel replied under the pseudonym “sprezzatura,” praising his own work and denouncing his critics (“You couldn’t tie Siegel’s shoelaces”). When it emerged that Siegel was sprezzatura, he was pilloried in the blogosphere, suspended by The New Republic

The newsletter comment comes from calculatedrisk.blogspot, doesn't it? I saw that they were offering a "budget-minded" newsletter on the mortgage mess. I only saw it because you, Atrios, have linked there so many times (and to the other good one, irvineblog or whatever it is) that I became interested and decided to read it regularly and try to figure out what you damned economists are saying....

Only one rule: you must not look behind the curtain.
On the January 30 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, while discussing former Sen. John Edwards' (D-NC) then-upcoming announcement that he was withdrawing from the 2008 presidential race, Neal Boortz asserted: "But I am fed up with this conventional wisdom that Katrina and the disaster that followed was George Bush's fault. It was not. The primary blame goes on the worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans who you -- couldn't even wipe themselves, let alone get out of the way of the water when that levee broke."

There are, however, a plethora of horrible VPs - Bayh, Richardson, Vilsek, etc. ...

it creates an environment in which everything is on display all the time, whether on YouTube, on Internet dating sites or in the blogosphere. This turns the culture into a giant popularity contest, an expanded and never-ending version of high school. “You must sound more like everyone else than anyone else is able to sound like everyone else,” Siegel writes. Thanks to the Internet, and to shows like “American Idol,” we are encouraged to believe in a phony idea of interactivity, as “all popular culture aspires to full viewer participation.”

So they've started running ads in the local races around here. Every single one of them carries on about cutting taxes, every single level of government. Federal, state, county. Except the one I want to hear from -- local. It's the local taxes that make our neighborhood's property taxes so freaking outrageous ($10k/yr), and the school district's the biggest part of that. Do the candidates for school board shout about cutting taxes? No . . . They did an end run & passed themselves a big honkin tax hike without a referendum a few years back. Bastards.
Oh, I'm glad we have good schools, believe me, but good God, are the students using solid gold desks? $10k/yr for an old house with 3 bedrooms and no central air? There are 24 houses and about 6 school-age kids on the block. Does it cost a quarter-million a year to educate 6 kids?

In one respect, with Mitt, he is a master at turning on a dime and fluff his way through things, I am not sure McCain is that flexible.

It seemed to me the other night that Clinton knows her stuff better, far better, than Obama does. But he has attracted real energy. They complement each other. Bob Herbert mentions what power the Democrats would have if the two of them teamed up and then had Bill, Edwards and the rest of the party barnstorming for them. It would be a site to behold. There are people who will never vote for a black man, others who will never vote for a woman but together, they bring in enough to win.

It is funny, I do not see the fiasco in Iraq as a failure of the American Military. They do what they do well and the Republicans do disservice to the military when they scaremonger people with this concept.
The truth is this President has misused the American Military and not permitted them to operate as designed and expected.

Bigotry is so dumb. Stupid and evil people exist in all groups just as do intelligent and good people. I have worked with Muslims, even had a Muslim woman as a boss for a while. They are just. like. everybody. else.

Why be bigoted when there are so many other reasons to dislike people?

My personal philosophy.
My newsletter is all about how it's been a Led Zeppelin kind of morning so far today. On page two I discuss the yummy German pancake prepared for breakfast and it finishes with oversaturated photos of climbers bouldering at the local gym while discussing the real estate crisis. Yeah! Sign up while quantities last!
I agree. Why be bigoted when there are so many other reasons to dislike people?
Culture of TrÜth
Very true. And they are usually much better reasons. Interestingly none of the Muslims have I worked with have made it on to my dislike list. I think that the sample size is just not large enough yet.
I'm still smarting over the ban on the ellipsis
I am so fucked...

Sarkozy married Bruni?
Wow. That was fast.
They, uh...had to get married.
Well, the gas lines in the late 1970s were clearly the Ay-rabs' fault, and certainly weren't worth contemplating further as, maybe, suggesting a different organization of American energy supply would be worth thinking about. That silly Carter...

Mimi's Moebius Strip business card - it's infinitely long.
Troops coming home might have worked for the Republicans even as late as the Fall of 06, but I think there's enough cynicism and war-weariness now that such a ploy would be seen for exactly what it is this year.
Note how the blizzard of "Surge is working!" talk has not changed the number of people who believe the war wasn't worth fighting.
May I be so bold as to say who really gives one flying fuck about memememememememememe?
Does Atrios produce those poorly-xeroxed newsletters ala the Socialist Workers Party?

C'mon, it's FRANCE, fer crissakes! Laissez faire and joie de vivre and quiche and all that.

My philosophy is that life is short and therefore you should hate as many people as you possibly can in the brief time allotted to you.

I cut it in two, and now I just have two of them!
And they're linked together!
It might be a little inaccurate to portray right-wing radio venom as a Southern phenomenon.
Limbaugh is from Cape Girardeau, Mo, which is technically not part of the South.

A Mobius strip isn't infinitely long, though it has no end. Sort of like a sphere.
There's at least one side to every story...

I hope she doesn't have to give up that high-profile position as captain of the Swiss Olympic Parachuting Bikini Biathlon team. All Europe would be devastated.

Stupid question, but where's Carla Bruni from? Might she want a little of that French social net?

Well, of course the fact that the President has begun hinting that there won't be any kind of troop drawdown any time soon kinda sorta puts that ploy out of reach at present.
That silly Carter...

In a parallel Universe 5 years ago, the United States instead of going to war in Iraq started to spend 2 billion dollars a week on medical and alternative renewable energy research. Five years later things are starting to payoff.
But that's in another universe.
um, that was sartre

baby.
gone.
Sure, you say that all the time.

Indeed, she has a quiche in the oven.
Nah, Missouri was technicaly a part of the Confederacy, and Rush got his start in Florida, although it's debatable whether Florida is a "Southern' state.
sartre was smartre
and la cul de Simone!

Spider Island.

Heaven is other people, too. William Blake wrote a book called 'The Marriage of heaven and Hell', which is on point here...
um, that was sartre
Satire?
I thought Rush got his start in Pittsburgh, as Jeff Christy?

North Florida is.
I've got a little blue pill to sell him.

Well you're right to the extent that the keyword is ploy. It'll be just for show - airport reunions, medal ceremonis parades. It's a pretty well understood performance
um, that was sartre

Ok, Sartre. The blogosphere as a self-correcting mechanism strikes again.

The first time, you're only telling yourself that you're leaving.
Successfully lying about what's really going on in Iraq has been demonstrated nicely by the Republicans 5 years ago.
sure. and 3 years ago too before the '04 election but the truth of the war has sunk into the sub-conscious of most and they will not hear the lies this time - the people who cast the deciding votes will not be listening to the spin - imho
only 31% of americans are completely crazy

Bigotry is so dumb. Stupid and evil people exist in all groups just as do intelligent and good people. I have worked with Muslims, even had a Muslim woman as a boss for a while. They are just. like. everybody. else.

Been contracting for a co owned by an Iraqi fambly for about 10 years now. Basically Americans with funny accents. The ones that have them, that is. Only one asshole in the bunch, and even he's a likable sort most of the time. Above average, actually...
Carla Bruni, Wiki:
Born in Turin, Italy she grew up in France from the age of five and later attended boarding school in Switzerland. She eventually returned to Paris to study art and architecture, but left school at 19 to become a model full-time.
She is the step daughter of industrialist and classical composer Alberto Bruni Tedeschi and Italian concert pianist Marysa Borini. Actress Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is her sister. Maurizio Remmert, a businessman, has claimed to be her biological father.[1] She also had a brother named Virginio Bruni-Tedeschi (1959 - 4 July 2006), unmarried and without issue.
Missouri was technicaly a part of the Confederacy
Not really. It was a Border State, which means it was aligned with the Union despite being a slave state.
So I went to the ER last night to have my chest pain checked out. The EKG, X-Ray, and blood tests all came back negative. BP was elevated; liver enzymes slightly elevated. They think it was a panic attack, or that I bruised my ribs when I fell on the ice taking the trash out on Thursday.
At least I know, I guess, that my lungs and heart are normal, and that I haven't had a previous heart attack.

Sorry, doc - I'm from NE Arkansas. We do not consider Mizzou part of the South.

Then there's the digital clock delusion. "I'll leave when it's :30 minutes past the hour".
Good to hear, Vicki!

It sent troops to fight for both sides. Plus, it was included in the Confederate flag. Like Kentucky.
But if you want Rush to be a non-Southener, I'm happy to give him up.
his defense was that he didn't kill her on purpose with the hammer
I was in fear of my life.
I groped around for my Taser and came up with the hammer.
Via antiwar.com, something we kind of know, but the MCM news consuming public may not.
It’s common knowledge now that we “went to war on a lie” — the WMD scam — but what isn’t common knowledge is how the war is sustained on a daily basis by lies and partial truths and desperate, behind-the-scenes financial damage control. The war is all weapons systems and public relations, with the reality of wrecked countries and wrecked lives and a hemorrhaging of the national treasury suspended in media hoodoo and denial.
Consider the number 72,000. This number — of total U.S. battlefield casualties in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, through Jan. 5, 2008 — is simple enough, but as I ponder the fact that Paul Sullivan and his organization, Veterans for Common Sense, had to wrest it from the Department of Defense with a Freedom of Information Act request, and the fact that the only media outlet to pick up on it so far is the Scottish newspaper The Herald, I begin to grasp the extent of the deception in place sustaining the war on terror.
The reason that the casualty totals reported are far lower, Sullivan explained to me, is that the Defense Department releases the stats on only one category of battlefield casualty to the media, the number of GIs “wounded” in action, that is, harmed by the instrumentation of war: bullet, shrapnel or knife.
A GI who cracks his head on the windshield of his Humvee in a crash, though he may have suffered brain damage and had to be evacuated from the battlefield, is considered “injured,” not “wounded,” Sullivan explained, and thus doesn’t show up in the figure the DoD releases and the media misleadingly report. Likewise, a GI who suffers a heart attack, or, let’s say, one of those desert mystery illnesses, or a severe emotional collapse, is “ill,” not “wounded,” and is also MIA from the official casualty count. And in this way does the war remain a tad more statistically palatable to a distracted public.
What about having Gore be VP yet again? I know, it's stupid.
Not stupid. The situation is different. Think of Cheney's immense Fourthbranch powers perverted, twisted, *TURNED* to the Light side of the Force...
