Did you seriously just say Obama's intellect is comparable to Palin's?!

Palin has a far better grasp on what it means to be an American than a bitter leftist who sat in a hate-Whitey church for 20-plus years. His Earness is endlessly promoted by His media lackeys, so a fair comparison is not possible.

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!? Look, gaffes aside, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School with a JD magna cum laude. Palin took six years to get a bachelor's degree in communications bouncing around from school to school to get it!

You might have had a point when Harvard wasn't a politically-correct degree mill. Speaking of kollij, we will never see Obama's kollij papers to know his genius even then. Community organizer? Do you even need higher education to become a rabble-rousing 'activist'?

Dude, if the conservative/libertarian ideology concluded the world is flat, would you spout that crap, too?! In fact, your beloved Ron Paul wouldn't tell Obama he's not smart enough to be president.

I don't need any labels to denounce His Earness. I merely observe the results of his incompetence (or genius, for those promoting the one-world illuminati worldview). His results are indefensible by any metric you care to name.

Just ridiculous. I get you don't like Obama, but that doesn't mean you should ignore basic fact. And I'm sorry, but she's simply not smart enough to be president. This has nothing to do with her ideology. Plenty of conservative politicians are out there who have the intellectual capacity to be president, but she's not one of them.

Due to an unfortunate media-created outbreak of Palin Derangement Syndrome, your observation cannot be quantified. Anyone here think Joe Biden is smart enough to operate a doorknob much less be President?

BONUS NO. 2 -- "Who are these people?" -- mid-90s Vice President and supergenius Al Gore, referring to the busts of Jefferson, Washington and Franklin during a tour of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson.

Congratulations, you've just described Obama to a tee.
Now you lefties disown him because he didn't close Gitmo and end the wars, but he's not going anywhere for two more torturous years, and his election has resulted in--to put it mildly--negative consequences.
If there's any 'deflection' going on here it's Obama's former and current worshipers, hoping no one notices the emperor wears no clothes.
It's certainly everyone's right to diss and dislike Palin, but c'mon, try to keep some perspective. Paul Revere was just another homophobic sexist racist Dead White Guy.

[rant]Christ... just shut down the internet. Someone is offended.

PU FUCKING LEASE.

Get off your damned PC, helicopter parenting, bullshit.

Should you let a six year old see this? NO. Should we ban it because you are a fuckface? NO.

How about you don't let your kids on the internet unsupervised and we can all enjoy a satirical French video that is actually well-produced and entertaining.

FFS.

A new low in Bush-hatred

by Jeff Jacoby
The Boston Globe
September 10, 2006

SIX YEARS into the Bush administration, are there any new depths to which the Bush-haters can sink?

George W. Bush has been smeared by the left with every insult imaginable. He has been called a segregationist who yearns to revive Jim Crow and compared ad nauseam to Adolf Hitler. His detractors have accused him of being financially entwined with Osama bin Laden. Of presiding over an American gulag. Of being a latter-day Mussolini. Howard Dean has proffered the "interesting theory" that the Saudis tipped off Bush in advance about 9/11. One US senator (Ted Kennedy) has called the war in Iraq a "fraud" that Bush "cooked up in Texas" for political gain; another (Vermont independent James Jeffords) has charged him with planning a war in Iran as a strategy to put his brother in the White House. Cindy Sheehan has called him a "lying bastard," a "filth spewer," an "evil maniac," a "fuehrer," and a "terrorist" guilty of "blatant genocide" -- and been rewarded for her invective with oceans of media attention.

What's left for them to say about Bush? That they want him killed?

They already say it.

On Air America Radio, talk show host Randi Rhodes recommended doing to Bush what Michael Corleone, in "The Godfather, Part II," does to his brother. "Like Fredo," she said, "somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw!" -- then she imitated the sound of a gunshot. In the Guardian, a leading British daily, columnist Charlie Brooker issued a plea: "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. -- where are you now that we need you?"

For the more literary Bush-hater, there is "Checkpoint," a novel by Nicholson Baker in which two characters discuss the wisdom of shooting the 43rd president. "I'm going to kill that bastard," one character fumes. Some Bush-hatred masquerades as art: At Chicago's Columbia College, a curated exhibit included a sheet of mock postage stamps bearing the words "Patriot Act" and depicting President Bush with a gun to his head. There are even Bush-assassination fashion statements, such as the "KILL BUSH" T-shirts that were on offer last year at CafePress, an online retailer.

Lurid political libels have a long history in American life. The lies told about John Adams in the campaign of 1800 were vile enough, his wife Abigail lamented, "to ruin and corrupt the minds and morals of the best people in the world." But has there ever been a president so hated by his enemies that they lusted openly for his death? Or tried to gratify that lust with such political pornography?

As with other kinds of porn, even the most graphic expressions of Bush-hatred tend to jade those who gorge on it, so that they crave ever more explicit material to achieve the same effect.

Which brings us to "Death of a President," a new movie about the assassination of George W. Bush.

Written and directed by British filmmaker Gabriel Range, the movie premieres this week at the Toronto Film Festival and will air next month on Britain's Channel 4. Shot in the style of a documentary, it opens with what looks like actual footage of Bush being gunned down by a sniper as he leaves a Chicago hotel in October 2007. Through the use of digital special effects, the film superimposes the president's face onto the body of the actor playing him, so that the mortally wounded man collapsing on the screen will seem, all too vividly, to be Bush himself.

This is Bush-hatred as a snuff film. The fantasies it feeds are grotesque and obscene; to pander to such fantasies is to rip at boundary-markers that are indispensable to civilized society. That such a movie could not only be made but lionized at an international film festival is a mark not of sophistication, but of a sickness in modern life that should alarm conservatives and liberals alike.

Naturally that's not how the film's promoters see it. Noah Cowan, one of the Toronto festival's co-directors, high-mindedly describes "Death of a President" as "a classic cautionary tale." Well, yes, he says, Bush's assassination is "harrowing," but what the film is really about is "how the Patriot Act, especially, and how Bush's divisive partisanship and race-baiting has forever altered America."

I can't help wondering, though, whether some of those who see this film will take away rather a different message. John Hinckley, in his derangement, had the idea that shooting the president was the way to impress a movie star. After seeing "Death of a President," the next Hinckley may be taken with a more grandiose idea: that shooting the president is the way to become a movie star.

Played it for a few hours last night. Good stuff, as usual, though I can't shake the feeling that Blizzard essentially plateaued with WOTLK (from a storytelling/questing/fun perspective). There was a very noticeable jump in quality in the overall leveling/storytelling experience from vanilla to BC, and then from BC to Wrath. I'm just not noticing that jump with Cata. Granted, I've only checked out one zone thus far, but it seems like the overall experience is about in line with what we saw in Wrath. That's not necessarily a bad thing (I probably played Wrath more than any other game in the last couple of years), but I think it's very possible that after six years, Blizzard has done all that they can do within the confines of WOW in terms of giving us new and exciting experiences.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Bush won despite being fairly clueless. Sarah could win too.


Not that it means much, but Palin makes Bush look like a natural born genius.

disclaimer: I'm not puffing up Bush here.

That said, Bush got a Business degree from Yale, and then his M.B.A. from Harvard. Palin spent six years bouncing between different little colleges and universities before finally getting a degree in journalism.

Not that it is likely to matter to many voters, but Bush looks like Einstein next to Palin. (and Obama make Bush look like a sideshow clown).

Haha I went for a job interview at Team Bondi and they were making this game, that was SIX years ago so the game has probably been in development for seven years!

Also did anyone else think the guy at the end who says "we're done for now" sounds just like (or is in fact) Bill Maher?

I did not know that.

Huh. What an ass.

I'd like to point out for the record that I enjoyed his music pre-sexual assault.>> ^budzos:

You know this motherfucker has spent most of the past ten years in prison!? he was sentenced to six years, and served all six years, for sexual assault. That thought actually makes me sad.

Epic. Epic to the Max.

My six year old self would lose his mind! This is all he ever wanted. =]

@NetRunner: The old left-right struggle was basically a question of whether the landed nobility should get to have total authority (since they owned all the land), or whether authority should flow from rule of law set by an egalitarian democratic process. The left pretty much won that fight, and ever since the right wants to make the government the enemy, because it gives commoners some sort of power over them.

I don't think we have the same federal government. Last time I checked my government embolden corporatist interests. In fact, even my local government in Los Angeles seems to want to keep the people poor. I work from home and forgot to move my car during street cleaning yesterday - that's one day out of the past six years. Well, I got a $65 ticket. Is that a fair price? I ran a red light by accident five years ago, got caught by one of those red light cameras and received a $400 ticket. I won that in court, but they never paid me back (yes, you have to pay before you're found guilty). I actually made a long trip the courthouse months later to get my money back, but the line for the court teller was so long it wrapped around the outside of the building. True story. I didn't have the time to waste an entire day waiting for repayment on something they should've never taken in the first place.

Funny thing is a lot of the times the street cleaners never come (yes, I've actually watched). But the parking enforcement during that 3 hour window of no parking are out like swarms of mosquitoes. California is about as egalitarian a state as any in the union. Seems to me they aren't trying to hard to help us out with their "total authority" flowing from the "rule of law set by egalitarian democratic process".

I've noticed Democrats seem to love it when government takes our money. Car registration used to cost nearly $400 here in LA before the Governator came in and changed that. Now it's still over a hundred. Parking on my street costs me an annual fee, and I have to purchase annual parking passes for guests. We have meters everywhere, and they're not cheap. Some meters cost a couple dollars per hour.

You claim the Libertarians want a toll road society, which makes me laugh, because we already have that in the Democratic state of California.

There's a demo on Steam. It is indeed scary. I followed the urgings of the game which has screens telling you to turn off the lights and use headphones. I was playing in the middle of the night and couldn't make it all the way through the demo because I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Last game I had to turn off because it was freaking me out was Doom 3, which I played almost six years ago now.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It's just very interesting that you rail against censorship- and then when it's nasty stuff directed at you (and it is nasty) you call for me to censor this user.>> ^dag:

A very trashy comment in my opinion- but who am I to put my subjective morality on someone else? How's your sense of irony?
I'm an atheist - but scripture comes to mind- something about reaping and sowing- and perhaps turning the other cheek.

Grow the hell up, you sniveling little kid. The adults are talking.
@dag can we just ban him already?

Ha!
You wanna get the man-child's attention?
Say "Look! Over there! Some naked six-year-olds are playing in the waves!"
Then the great dane will ask one of them out on a date.
Then he'll call her a cunt when she tells him to get lost.
