Oh my - the bigot knives came out big time at the Rules Committee hearing chaos. Take at look at what Jane Hamsher captured— this inconsolable Hillary supporter, Harriet Christian, screaming at reporters in this clip about how the party is…
”...throwing the election away…for what—an inadequate black male who would not have been running had it not been a white woman that was running for president. I’m not going to shut my mouth anymore. I can be called white, but you can’t be called black…God Damn the Democrats.”
You have to watch the whole thing. This is out of control; this chaos must end, however…
The result of today’s meeting: In the case of Michigan, delegates will get 1/2 vote (Clinton nets 34.5 and Obama 29.5. For Florida, delegates also have 1/2 of a vote; Clinton receive 52.5 and Obama 33.5 (Edwards 6.5).
While Ms. Christian has lost her cookies, she’ll be happy to know that Clintonista Lanny Davis is threatening to take this to the credentials committee (and thus the convention—will the PHB baristas need flak jackets?), based on an update I just received from Jane. This is likely an attempt to extort the VP slot for Hillary, but I can’t imagine that after all of the BS during the primary—and still with a growing lead in delegates—Obama is even giving this serious consideration.
Democratic National Committee advised of
Criminal Case in US Supreme Court involving
Senators Clinton and Obama
Holy crap! What’s this now, and why haven’t I heard of it? You’d think this would be front…page…oh.
The Democratic National Committee, slated to meet this weekend, has been advised of a criminal case filed in the United States Supreme Court on May 27, 2008, titled “United States of America vs. Seditious Conspirators”. (A case number has not yet been assigned). The criminal case names both Democratic contenders for the US Presidency, Senator Hilary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama, as defendants. The case involving the senators was initially filed in the US District Court of Colorado under criminal case no. 1:08cr00087. The case has progressed through the 10th Circuit Appeals Court as case no. 08-1061, where three associated cases were consolidated into the one case now under contention in the US Supreme Court.
The Democratic National Committee was advised that pursuant the statutes 18USC2381 and 18USC2383, and Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, the senators are barred from holding any office under the United States. The Committee was further informed that there are other Democratic Delegates and so-called ‘Super Delegates’ who are also named as defendants in this criminal case. Pursuant the same statutes and Section of the Constitution, they may not be electors of a United States President. To do so would be violating the law.
The filing of this criminal case in the Supreme Court may be verified with the Supreme Court Police with whom it was filed, with the Court Clerk William Suter, or with any of the 9 Justices who have been provided with a personal copy of the criminal complaint. The involvement of Senators Clinton and Obama in the seditious conspiracy may be verified with President Bush, Chief Justice Roberts, Attorney General Mukasey, or FBI Director Mueller.
Oh, it’s
allegedly
about horseshit. Now I get it.
Did you catch that at the end, by the way? This case was filed with the Supreme Court Police. And yes, such a thing really exists. Its “mission is to ensure the integrity of the constitutional mission of the Supreme Court by protecting the United States Supreme Court building, the Justices, employees, guests, and visitors.” And this guy
allegedly
filed a criminal case with them! A treason case with them! And he may - stay with me here - he may not have been laughed directly out of the building.
But let’s come back to that. Who, exactly, is “this guy”?
It’s what you all have been waiting for…this year’s “research” on the International Mr. Leather event by Peter LaBarbera. Long-time readers of the blog know that The Peter has become an expert in this sexual subculture, because every year he returns to the same event to gather even more information for his “Christian” readership—shocking information that has to be documented with photographs and breathless reporting.
He didn’t even manage to put up a photo from this year’s event in this post. Behold…

It’s too much to hope that MSNBC will fire this asshole - unless it’s for stealing Chris Matthews’ schtick - but you might drop MSNBC a line about this anyway:
Discussing Sen. Hillary Clinton’s decision to remain in the presidential race, MSNBC senior campaign correspondent Tucker Carlson, during the May 27 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, said of Clinton, “Look, she’s a trapped animal, there’s absolutely no question about it. As I’ve thought to myself many times, if you’ve ever tried to get your cat in a box, you know what Hillary Clinton is doing right now.” Carlson then imitated a screeching cat, and added, “with all four paws out, all the hair standing up? Look, she is in feral mode.” After co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “I don’t know what to say,” and guest co-host Mike Barnicle said, “Tucker Carlson, ladies and gentlemen,” Carlson asserted, “And I say that as a compliment, I admire her tenacity. I do.”
Don’t worry, he says it as a compliment. Join us next time when Tucker Carlson compares McCain favorably to a 19-year-old beagle with bladder control problems.

We need to create a Sally Kern Award for the most batsh*t homophobic comment of the month. Check out Jeff Wagner, a Republican who represents the 81st district in Ohio. He believes that same-sex committed relationships lead to mental and physical illness. When a constituent asked about H.B. 502, the “Equal Housing and Employment Act”, that would cover LGBTs, this is what Wagner said via email (spelling and grammar intact):
“[T]his is a dangerous and misguided bill. The bill is not really about people being denied rights to basic needs, but it is about promoting acceptance of an immoral lifestyle. As much as some people would have us to believe otherwise, this country was founded on Christian principles. One of those long honored principles is the tradition of holy matrimony. One man and one woman joined together in a union that goes as far back as Adam and Eve. As our society has gotten further from that standard (not just homosexuality, but easy divorce, cheating on a spouse, etc.) we see a continued collapse of the basic building block of society the family unit. As that traditional family erodes, we see more sexually transmitted diseases, kids without parents, heartbroken people and I believe a host of mental and physical illnesses. . . . rest assured I can not support a bill in any way promotes or encourages the homosexual lifestyle.”
Wagner’s rant is also a reminder, as one of our PFLAG supporters in Ohio pointed out, of just how much misinformation is out there when it comes to issues like this one, and legislation like H.B. 502.
In fact, one wonders if Mr. Wagner has considered whether it might not be more damaging to “family values” to have a family member fired from their job, or denied a home for them and their loved ones, simply because of who they are, or who they love.
