Bent Notes

Let’s do a little walking and chewing gum

Have you noticed the meme being puked on command by the Chicago Marxist’s camp all day today whenever asked about the Ayers connection? It’s instantly “I think the American people want to talk about the big issues, whether they’ll be able to keep their jobs and houses and retirement accounts.”

Th paraphrase the Chicago Marxist, a leader must be able to focus on a few things at a time. We can examine his freedom-hating career and life and still obliterate his freedom-hating position on what to do about our current economic situation.

He was buds with Ayers and knew about his past.

There, that one’s dealt with.

His tax hikes on capital gains, corporate earnings and inheritance - and let’s not forget the incomes of people making over $250,000 - would be disastrous.

And the economic front involves his connections as well. Frankin Raines, Jim Johnson, ACORN’s bank fairs that were staged to intimidate lending institutions to grant mortgages to unqualified borrowers.

There, that one’s dealt with.

At least here. Let’s just hope The Maverick gets both messages across this evening.

The only real problem for me, and all my homies here at BN, being that our freedom, and this Western civilization that has made our lives so liveable, goes down the tubes if you don’t get a clue, and pronto.

This s— of not letting your campaign bring up Rev. Wright is not just suicidal but genocidal.

This is North Korea-type stuff

You thought that he-will-change-the-world video featuring the real young kids was bad, check this out.

One commenter at Free Republic, one of the myriad sites where this is being seen and discussed, ho-hummed it, saying that one of these days these guys will come across The Next Big Thing, or, more likely, discover girls, and that will be that. I look at the level of discipline going on here and I see something else.

Shari Pine, a NYC-based singer-songwriter whose early CD I reviewed for Indie-music.com some years back, and with whom I’ve stayed in touch, has a new CD out. This is the video of the title track, “The Painter.”

A surprise-filled afternoon in Houston. A blown Indy lead, a deficit that looked insurmountable by the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then the climb back, culminating in the Payton Manning-to-Reggie Wayne air attack with 1:54 left to go. And another interception after that, with less than a minute left.

That’s the way this team does it.

A couple of things I’d clamp down on like a pit bull on steroids if I were McCain, Sarah, or a spokesperson for their campaign

1.) This constant use of the term “middle class” by Biden and the Chicago Marxist. It’s being employed to plant the notion of a zero-sum game in voters’ minds, as if tax “breaks” for corporations or “the wealthy” somehow somehow deprive “ordinary” Americans of income. Pretty easy to demolish, really. Point out that some 40 percent of U.S. households don’t pay any taxes, and the top 10 percent of earners pay well over 50 percent of the nation’s taxes. Then point out that the Chicago Marxist is being disingenuous to the point of intelligence-insulting with his condemnation of “tax breaks” (grrrrr, there’s that term again; I’ll get back to that one shortly) for corporations that “ship jobs overseas.” They do so PRECISELY BECAUSE THEY FIND A MORE FAVORABLE TAX ENVIRONMENT IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY. The whole thing can be condensed to a soundbite-sized rebuttal: No one in this country - no individual or business - needs to pay once cent more in taxes.

2.) The Chicago Marxist’s health-care proposal. As with all FHer schemes, there are two parts to this one: the Santa Claus part, and the how-we’ll-pay-for-it part. Here’s how you nuke this one: the Santa Claus part involves a narrowing of the individual’s range of choices, and the second part involves naked wealth redistribution. (See item one and the theft of the money of those with incomes over $250,000.) That’s really as wonky as you need to get. Again, this one can be condensed to a soundbite that tells the whole story: SENATOR OBAMA, IT’S NOT YOUR MONEY.

Oh, yeah, and demolish this business about tax “breaks.” Once again, it’s an attempt to get voters to think that high tax rates for a particular group were some kind of baseline, and that any subsequent lowering of that was some kind of deviation, a momentary respite because the government, benevolent entity that it is, wanted to give them a leg up for a little while, and that now it’s time for such a group to return to “patriotic” levels of coughing up its money.

The American people aren’t idiots. If this stuff were expalined to them exactly like this, they’d see what was really going on.

. . . no longer stands for “mainstream,” but rather “Marxist Suck-up.”

Exhibit A is Douglass Daniel’s AP “analysis” of Sarah Palin’s remarks referenced in the last post. In the first paragraph, he used the term “racially tinged,” and I thought, Huh? So I read down a few more graphs, to where he says that, Palin and the McCain campaign run the risk of her “not the way we see America” comment being perceived as racist, “whether it was meant that way or not.”

Well, s—! No one was going to see it that way UNTIL YOU ENGAGED IN THIS VULGAR RACE-BAITING, YOU STINKING TOTALITARIAN CHUNK OF DOG VOMIT!

Then there’s Tom Brokaw’s characterization of Bill Ayers as having evolved from a “radical” into an “educational reformer.”

When I first heard Sean Hannity declare that 2008 marked the death of the profession of journalism, I thought it was a bit overheated, a purple moment of talk-show hyperbole.

No, he is spot-on.

Now we’re getting somewhere

Well, Barracuda, you’re definitely doing what I said you needed to do in the last post.

Beautiful. Magnificent. Marvelous.

“We gotta start telling the electorate what the other side represents.”

I’ve felt, since I saw her debut as veep candidate in Dayton, that it wasn’t the gosh-darn factor, the record of leadership in Alaska, or the strong marriage and big family that was what mainly made her a formidable asset. I could just see that, within that snappy, attractive package was someone capable of waging war.

As I’ve said for months here at BN, you don’t go up against the Freedom Haters with anything less than a war mentality. Even a fourth-generation military man like McCain doesn’t understand that. Left to his own devices, he’d roll over for his own public, nationally broadcast disemboweling.

Fortunately, he has Barracuda now to be fierce for him, and for us.

Pour it on, Governor. Hourly, for the next thirty days.
