Misha, Imbecile Emperor of Nothing At All™, four days ago:

Now that the sell-by date is about to be reached on masturbatory Moonbat fantasies about the Bu$Hitler being assassinated, they are, in increasing numbers, switching over to fantasizing about the Obamessiah being murdered. By a Republican Racist Fascist Militia-Type Gun Nut, we’re sure. We wouldn’t want to disturb the narrative, after all.

Moonbats all over the world are running an unofficial Dead Pool, tripping over their own genitals to see who can come up with the most dire predictions regarding the Most Holy God of Changeyness, He Who Shall Change the World’s, to them, obvious and imminent demise at the hand of mythical racists.

The musings of Hal Turner, racist radio asswipe (no linky love for him):

Ricin is easy to make from castor beans. Castor beans are legal to buy, can be gotten throughout the country or via the internet. Even more interesting is that the internet is full of “how-to” information explaining how to cook the husks of castor beans into this poison.

Since as little as 500 micrograms of ricin can kill an adult, I wonder if smearing some on a glove then shaking hands with. . . . . . Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton or John McCain. . . . would have some effect? Probably not. But I wonder if loading some in a straw equipped with a one-way valve at one end to protect the user, would allow ricin powder to be blown in the direction of a candidate for inhalation? HMMMMMMM.

…

I bet there are folks out there, however, who might agree with me that the political choices we have this year warrant dramatic action to save our republic. After all, do we really want a mixed-race, mongrel negro, half-breed in the most powerful political office on the planet?

…

Yes, I see good reason for the political candidates this year to be gotten rid of and from my viewpoint, ricin could be used by some nefarious person to accomplish that. It’s the type of weapon that Secret Service cannot protect anyone from. What are they gonna do, check everyone for straws as they enter a campaign venue? And once the poison is delivered, there is no treatment and no cure. Death is 100% guaranteed.

Tell us all about the “mythical” racists who are agitating for the assassination of Barack Obama, Maximum Moron Misha. Looks like the Real World has proven you an ignorant blowhard — again.

(hat tip: Jesus’ General)

Crooks and Liars draws our attention to Who Speaks For Islam?: What a Billion Muslims Really Think, a book that details the results of a Gallup survey compiled from tens of thousands face-to-face interviews with the inhabitants of more than 35 predominantly Muslim nations. Among the more interesting results are the following:

• Muslims and Americans are equally likely to reject attacks on civilians as morally unjustifiable.
• Large majorities of Muslims would guarantee free speech if it were up to them to write a new constitution AND they say religious leaders should have no direct role in drafting that constitution.
• Muslims around the world say that what they LEAST admire about the West is its perceived moral decay and breakdown of traditional values—the same answers that Americans themselves give when asked this question.
• When asked about their dreams for the future, Muslims say they want better jobs and security, not conflict and violence.
• Muslims say the most important thing Westerners can do to improve relations with their societies is to change their negative views toward Muslims and respect Islam.
  

Huh. How ‘bout that? Muslims are very much like non-Muslim Westerners. Of course, ignorance being the currency of the day, you’ll little or nothing about this from the wingnuts. They’re far too invested in fanning the flames of fear and hatred.

Remember, kids: Every single time Cao tells you something, look for the facts she is choosing to ignore. Ignorance — specifically, her own — is everything to Cao.

I’ll repeat that so it sinks in:

Ignorance — specifically, her own — is everything to Cao.

Cao has tried to connect Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan to Barack Obama via the crude and transparent ploy of posting a few fire-breathing quotes from Farrakhan and then mentioning Obama — as if Obama had anything to do with what Farrakhan has said over the years. Cao carefully avoids noting that Obama has denounced Farrakhan’s views on multiple occasions, most recently during the February 26 debate:

OBAMA: You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments. I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support. He expressed pride in an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.

I came across this article sometime last year and only rediscovered it recently. It’s a good question: How does fighting them over there save us from fighting them over here?

Would someone please explain the following to me? Bush and his Republican pals tell us that the reason they want to keep American troops in Iraq because they want to “fight the terrorists over there, so we don’t have to fight them over here,” Where, exactly, is the logic in that statement? How does having American troops on the Middle-East prevent a terrorist attack in North America? … I just don’t see how keeping American troops in Iraq makes it any less likely that terrorists will attack America. Don’t terrorists have plenty of ways to get into America without going through Iraq first? Indeed, if a terrorist wanted to attack America, how likely do you suppose it is that he would go to Iraq in the first place? Why not just go straight to the U.S.?

We’ve been told that Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. How? The very nature of terrorism is that it strikes at unpredictable times in unpredictable places, at soft targets that are not specifically protected by military forces. Any sensible terrorist won’t gravitate towards a battlefield — he’ll attack an office building, a shopping mall, a sports stadium. He wants to maximize terror by maximizing civilian casualties. Iraq just isn’t the place to do that.

The war in Iraq hasn’t slowed terrorist attacks elsewhere… there have been hundreds of attacks worldwide since 9/11. So the claim that Iraq is somehow “central” to the “war on terror” just does not hold water.

Perhaps some of my friends on the right can explain this. How does putting American soldiers at risk in the middle of what is now a civil war in Iraq magically protect American civilians at home from terrorist attacks?

I noted a few days ago that Cao was repeating the “Obama has no accomplishments” meme because she is literally too stupid to find out what Obama’s accomplishments are. She’s worked hard since then to prove me right.

I provided Cao with links to several articles that list Obama’s accomplishments. Cao has thus far refused to read them. I challenged Cao to answer a question about just one of Obama’s accomplishments: the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, which established a searchable online database tracking the distribution of nearly $1 trillion in federal grants, contracts, earmarks and loans. Obama co-authored this bill with Republican Senator Tom Coburn. And that is just one of Obama’s many documented accomplishments.

Her response to this challenge? She confirmed — again — that she prefers ignorance to knowledge:

I don’t give a **** about the bill you’re talking about

As I’ve said many times in the past: Wingnuts of Cao’s stripe simply do not care about facts. They drink the Kool-Aid dispensed by the Mighty Wingnut Wurlitzer™, and actively cultivate their ignorance of reality. Cao and her ilk do not want and could not engage in an honest debate of the issues facing this country — that is why they persist in making arguments based upon lies and smears.

I’ve pointed out the racism at HoosierArmyMom’s blog before (and her practice of forging trackbacks in response to the racism being pointed out). Apparently, Mom and her co-blogger haven’t taken enough flak to learn their lesson.

Mom’s co-blogger “TA” says in a post today that…

Barack Obama is an absolute “Uncle Tom” in my book and should be deported immediately

And the very first comment, posted by “Admin” (who may be either “TA” or Mom herself) includes this gem:

The Feds need to throw his black ass out of Office and send him back to Kenya… I hear you can hunt big-ass elephants at this time of year, as you sit on the front porch chomping on watermelon and fried chicken.

Mom posts a comment right after that. Apparently, she’s perfectly happy to have this racist excrement smeared all over her blog.

As I said before: Scratch a rightie, find a racist.

Cao says she’s “still waiting” for a list of Obama’s legislative accomplishments. What she means is that she’s waiting to be spoon-fed a list because she’s too goddamn stupid to find them herself.

I’m always happy to help the cognitively impaired. It’s not hard to find Obama’s legislative accomplishments. Even a mere blogger, such as hilzoy, can do it. But apparently such research is beyond Cao’s abilities. So I guess she’ll have to rely on me to spoon-feed her the information.

Here, idiot lizard bitch.

Here, idiot lizard bitch.

Here, idiot lizard bitch.

Here, idiot lizard bitch.

And still more here, idiot lizard bitch.

It is so much fun shoving the facts up your nose, imbecile cow. I had fun doing the same to Justin Higgins. You moron wingnuts are an endless source of amusement.

Stay stupid, bitch. I know you’ll do as you’re told.

UPDATE 02/22/08 10:52 AM EST: Cao goes from stupidity to outright lying:

BO’s accomplishments don’t exist.

Now she’s officially a lying idiot lizard bitch.

UPDATE 02/23/08 10:39 AM EST: Jack and Jill Politics and Grassroots Mom have good posts regarding Obama’s legislative accomplishments — posts that Cao will never work up the courage to read.

Everyone’s favorite wingnut fabulist, Misha I, Emperor of Nothing at All, displays once again his Invincible Ignorance™ — this time, it’s about Barack Obama:

What we don’t expect to hear is news related to actual policy statements and/or tangible past achievements being brought up.

This is a common wingnut meme, and Misha is nothing if not a good little parrot. If you don’t know about Obama’s policy statements, it’s because you’re working extra hard to remain ignorant — and Misha surely values his ignorance. Obama’s positions and policy statements are really quite easy to find. But Misha, like so many of his ilk, prefers to pretend that his ignorance proves something about somebody else.

It doesn’t. All it proves is that Misha prefers to be ignorant, and is happy to advertise his ignorance.

Today’s dog vomit:

If there is anything in politics that rings hollow it is a politician telling people to tell the truth… Clinton does not know what the truth is. He has been caught in one lie after another…

If there’s anything in wingnuttia that rings hollow, it is a proven liar who accuses other people of lying.
