The Left Still Loves Its "Romantic" Totalitarian Killers

...but at least there's the occasional non-leftist liberal to tell them to grow the fuck up already.

Paul Berman bitchslaps Robert Redford for the disgusting haigiography to Che Guevera he produced.

And he wants to know when the Che-lovin' Hollywood community will get around to making a movie about one of Che's many victims.

So Stupid It Hurts My Teeth Update: Travelling Shoes highlights a just-plain-brilliant idea from the Daily Kos on how Kerry can win Pennsylvania:

The question is, will John Kerry speak out and call for the release of [convicted cop-killer Abu-Jamal] Mumia, or at the very least demand a new trial for him?

No, "Kos." The question is, have you been mixing medications, or are you just plain fucking retarded?

But let me answer your question, dearheart. Will John Kerry call for the release of a convicted cop-killer? How about: Will John Kerry even allow the words "Abu-Jamal Mumia" to pass his lips?

Um, no.

Good Lord All Mighty. This is what passes for reasonable thought among the biggest of the big left-wing bloggers.

For the love of all that's holy, you don't hear me calling for the release of, I don't know, Bucephalus "Stony" Herkemer, three-time race-murderer and leader of the White Power Militia gang.*

*Although, to be fair, Mr. Corrigan also claims to be a "political prisoner." He claims that ZOG (the Zionist Occupational Goverment) is frustrating his attempts to begin the RaHoWa (racial holy war) which will "cleanse" the country of "undesirables."

Now that I think about it-- when will President Bush call for the release of this poor man? I think doing so might really help him in Oregon.

"Will Kerry Speak Out For Mumia."

It validates everything Frum said about stupidity of the left-wing bloggers.

There are alot of potential blockbusters that will never see the light of day in Hollywood. I'd love to see "Witness" on the big screen but it will never happen. Imagine: David Hyde Pierce as Alger Hiss and Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Whitaker Chambers.

Ace,

Especially repellent, this.

Che was the architect of many of Cuba's most despicable institutions, such as summary executions, torture, and the like.

Che, in fact, was an early merchant of the death-cult. In his case it was the Socialist Revolution. In modern day form it is radical Islam.

The merging of the Left with radical Islam goes beyond ANSWER anti-war rallies replete with calls for the destruction of Israel, it has now moved solidly into the academy and apparently the entertainment industry.

And yes, it is time for truly brave filmmakers to bring to the screen the stories of those that suffered under the heel and fist of the Socialist Revolution.

Someone call James Woods.

Wow, this is the second review in two days in a liberal publication giving the smackdown to The Motorcycle Diaries. The other one was in the new issue of GQ, and it attacked the film on similar grounds. I don't know if it's available online, but I'll look around and see if I can find a link.

Oh hell yes Kerry needs to say he'll free Mumia. And he needs to do it now.

One of the few reasons Kerry has any votes in PA is Philadelphia. He says he'll free Mumia and he'll loose a good chunk of that city, and every cop and cop union in the state.

I'd love it.

To their credit, it appeared that 75% of the comments I read at Kos guffawed at the idea.

To their detriment, there was, in addition to the original poster (brotherforkerry or some such) profound mental retardation in the other 25%.

Kerry's not stupid enough to touch this even with a barge pole. And if he is, Carville will hide all the barge poles.

No, "Kos." The question is, have you been mixing medications, or are you just plain fucking retarded?

Not an "either/or" proposition, in Kos' case. :)

I went law school at Bereley and this asshole's thoughful mug was posted on every street lamp and telephone pole in town. No matter the protest, there's going to be some AMJ types demanding that the guiltiest man currently in prison be released.

If I was a Pennsylvania Republican operative, I would be putting out that the Left Wing blogger who was prominantly featured in the NYTimes Magazine has called for Kerry to free Mumia. In fact, I'd "help" the Kerry campaign by putting up posters in the state: "John Kerry! Please Help where Bush Won't. Free Mumia!"

At events, note Kerry has always opposed the death penalty for cop killers and was part of Dukakasis's prisoner furlough program.

Yep, I'd be putting out the word that the Kerry campaign has not decided yet on how they will respond to the Daily Kos's plea to free or Presidentially pardon Mumia, an act that top financier George Soros also supports. And note that Bush as everyone knows, would not entertain pardoning Mumia.

After threatening that the "clock is ticking" for renewed strikes on Iran, Trump once again calls them off to give negotiating a chance.
I can't even cover this any more. It's embarrassing. It's like covering the endless negotiations over DHS funding. Trump is going to drag this out through the midterms and then lose them.
Note to the president: At some point, allowing the Regime to remain in power without actually forcing them to give up nukes is just a back-door, unacknowledged renewal of the Obama policy.
Well, I guess we just have to wait for their economy to collapse and their troops to desert.

TJM definitively ranks the films of David Lean

Mayor Karen is so stung by fan-made AI ads that she's resorting to the shitlibs' go-to demand for an end to criticism -- these ads are "violent" and "hateful" and making me feel unsafe because one video showed AI cartoons throwing tomatoes at me and the tomatoes looked like blood when they squished
This was her actual complaint. The mushed-up tomato looked like blood so it's a death threat and these violent attacks on me must stop. What is dis bitch, CNN?

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
