Loved the bit about them being more likely to vote when they're dead. The only way to make sense of Jackson-Lee's argument (besides hitting yourself in the head with a hammer) is that Algore would have done better. Okay, so there's no way to make sense of it.

I was still trying to figure out how Bush was Bull Connor. Now I gotta deal with this?

I was almost there too... flooding, water, hey! Water comes out of fire hoses!

shit.

So who elected Nagin mayor?

What poppycock, if I may use such bold language.

Ace is so cute when he's angry. :)

I like "demented dipshittery".

"So who elected Nagin mayor? Posted by spd rdr"
Nagin was elected by those very same "suppressed black voters" that the Republicans were trying to "kill'. Like Ace said, they have a better chance to vote if they were dead.
Sheesh

And Eff Off, Bill! Update: Okay, Bill doesn't really have to eff off. But he'll probably say something about neutral evaluation of a story's newsworthiness leading to this one getting little play. There are other reasons, apart from partisan bias, that animate the MSM's choice of what to report, and what to embargo.

Hate to break it to you, Ace, but on this point I generally agree: the media protects (read: ignores) the batshit raving lunacy of the elected Democratic moonbats, yet floods the zone with comparable GOP sound bites (and there are less comparable examples from the GOP, I'd say).

yeah these usually come from the far out nut gallery districts in the House - almost the equivalent in stature of your local rotary club - so it'll never make the front page of the WaPo, but yeah, they get a pass.

Um, that didn't move my surprise meter. Nope.

I love the way the minority voters are always suppressed in democratic districts/precints.

Take your pick from one of these.

... also: ACE!! Please stop using the fine, upstanding word "democratic" when you mean to use the pejorative adjective "Democrat", as in "Democrat Party".

Is this the mental giant that wanted the Mars rover to pan the camera over to where the Astronauts planted the flag (on the moon)? Or was that Cynthia McKinney?
Its sad when you can't tell the moonbats apart.

How about just "Crat" or "Donk"? Much more disrespectful.

exhibit Two in this file is this old post about Maxine Waters; check the update: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/077173.php

I heard that Sheila Jackson Lee ate Randall Robinson.

She set up a meeing with him at her offices and just wolfed him when he arrived. She did the same with Chandra Levy and the girl in Aruba.

Fight fire with fire, baby.

Isn't Sheila Jackson Lee one of the Congressional cranks that wanted the UN to observe our elections last year? She seems to be a one trick donkey.

All I can tell by these post that none of you are black or minorities. But you want to tell us that are thing are equal here. What planet are you living on my nephew just got back from Afghanistan with the purple heart, medal of valor and a bronze star. Just so he can come back home to be called N*****R and attacked by some inbreed. I was also in the military and it exist if you don't believe me ask some of you buddies in the military (keesler AFB). And by the way ask some Native Americans what they think since culture has almost been destroyed by something that you say doesn’t exist. Are your sure your in the military, I know what it is Plausible deniability your talking about something you no nothing about. I not here to start anything but one thing the military taught me was to be a man and I was offended by some comments. How can we go to another country and tell them how to live when we do so much evil to our own.

As did Jimmy Carter. Thanks for reminding me -- not!

" I not here to start anything but one thing the military taught me was to be a man and I was offended by some comments. "

tobab, are you saying that these strange rambliings of Sheila Lee's make sense to you or that you agree with them? Tell me it ain't so!

Tob

. . . the crap the Ku Klux Klan ever cooked up.

What? Ace sez the KKK is cooking up black babies??

Hey Tobab,

I completely believe you. Tons of military folks are returning from Afghanistan with the "Medal of Valor". It's Rove who's spreading the lies that the military award is called the "Medal of Honor". You learned the real truth of the matter in the military, I'm sure.

Douchebag.

Ace, I hate to break it to you, but "insane and viciously, unhinged" has always worked for me. The people demand it.

Tobab,
If you agree with what Sheila Jackson Lee said, which is that the Katrina deaths are linked to the black turnout in the last election, then just say so.

It sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory to me, something she just pulled out of her ass. Something she just made up to stir shit up between people.

I've had enough of people like that in my life. They just want to talk crap and get people moving against each other for no good reason, but from some crap she just pulled out of her imagination.

There's already too much damn drama between the races in this country. We're never going to come through these problems if there are people like this unhappy woman, forever creating drama where there actually is none.

It makes it harder to focus on the real problems.

Right now at MSNBC.com:
New Orleans levee reported weak in 1990s
Records: Construction firm alerted engineers, but no action was taken
(1998 to be exact)
Damn that Bush!!
Somehow he was able to mess wid da engineerin' way back in '98, in order to kill homies!

tobab: I guarantee there's more blacks in this country than Filipinos, so suck my Pinoy, brown, veteran dick you phoney sack of cracker crap. I'm more of a minority than you pretend to be. You're probably whiter than Jimmy Carter and twice as stupid. If you're buying into this garbage you deserve all the suffering that you imagine being placed on you by "the man".

I also seriously doubt you're a man by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't you understand, people?

underpants + ___ = Profit!

You just didn't know we elected underpants gnomes to Congress.

This is one of Sheila Jackson Lee's saner comments.

"deserve all the suffering that you imagine being placed on you by "the man"."

Please, digital. It's "The Man". Capital letters. show some respect.

Okay, I think I've figured this out:

Maybe she means that the hurricane deaths were just a continuation of the suppression by other means - that, worried that their Theophilus (how cool is that first name, btw?) "Bull" Connortron software wouldn't work in 2008, they decided to "firm up" some purple states the hard way?

I guess that makes internally consistent sense? Maybe?

Please, digital. It's "The Man". Capital letters. show some respect.

Irony alert with lower case letters in your own signature.

I'll have to remember that. "The Man". I'm sure tobab sees it that way in his head while he's fantazing about why his life sucks.

So....Jerry Falwell makes some jackassed statement about assasination and it's the lead for two days. Sheila Jackson Lee, an elected representative, says something batshit crazy and we get the crickets.

Not that I'm surprised. Anyone who argues that the media isn't biased toward the left is either hopelessly deluded, mentally retarded, or a fucking liar.

"All I can tell by these post that none of you are black or minorities."

Because they all think and sound alike? Cute.

"But you want to tell us that are thing are equal here."

Nope. Not even sure what you mean. Equal how? Giving everyone an equal shake does not produce equal results. On the whole, though, self-destructive assumptions and prejudices seem to be inflicting much more damage on "vulnerable" groups than the bigotry of others.

"my nephew just got back from Afghanistan with the purple heart, medal of valor and a bronze star. Just so he can come back home to be called N*****R and attacked by some inbreed."

Assuming he is black, if he was called a nigger it was most likely by other blacks. Or haven't you noticed that? As for inbred attackers, I trust a "medal of valor" winner will be able to teach the genetically challenged the error of their ways.

"I was also in the military and it exist if you don't believe me ask some of you buddies in the military (keesler AFB). "

No. I believe you. The military definitely exists. It's the moon landing they faked. (In Texas, too. Coincidence??)

"ask some Native Americans what they think since culture has almost been destroyed by something that you say doesn’t exist."

It's called conquest. Do you really think the lands were unoccupied before the _fill-in-tribe-here_ took it? How did the losers fare in that earlier conflict? I don't recall too many traditional Diversity Dances from my time among the Indians.

"I not here to start anything but one thing the military taught me was to be a man and I was offended by some comments."

Then be a man and suck it up, Slick. Nobody has any obligation to soothe your nuttier sensitivities.

"How can we go to another country and tell them how to live when we do so much evil to our own."

Because we do less evil than their governments do and want less evil inflicted on the innocent citizens of that country? I mean, that's just a guess, but if a country had to be perfect before it could do good, the Nazis and Sovs would pretty much be running the show by now. Luckily, majority rule tends to be rule by the grown-ups and your own strange line of thought has never really caught on as a national ethos.

Apologies to the regulars since I'm new here. Is this guy for real?

Who knows? We get an occasional troll flare up, but they either get beaten down or ignored, so they go back under their bridges after a day or two. Sometimes we get a joker that'll do a troll parody, but it's really hard to tell the difference between parody and genuine liberals.

It's called conquest. Do you really think the lands were unoccupied before the _fill-in-tribe-here_ took it?

Actually, Texas was largely unoccupied at the time of white settlement. OK, a few Apaches and so forth, but nothing significant.

The real challenge was the Comanches, a raider culture from the north that did not occupy the land. They were more like the hordes of Genghis Khan. They kept the Spanish at bay for two hundred years. In those days, if you wanted to travel from the missions in San Antonio to Santa Fe, you went through Mexico City because you did not want to travel through Comanche territory.

The Spaniards never figured out what to do about the Comanches. The folks who successfully took them on were Scotch-Irish white trash out of Appalachia. They had, through poor farming techniques, depleted their land and were moving on. To Texas. They were sharpshooters who had guns with rifled barrels.

And after having won the land, they defended it. These were the men who defended the Alamo. Men with names like Bowie, and Crockett, and Travis.

Most people don't understand Texas. They don't get that it has been one of the most violent places on earth, and the ground is soaked with blood. They don't get that Texan's are obsessed with land. I mean, in Texas, it doesn't matter who you are, you're nobody if you don't have a ranch.

When Bush figured he was about to become the President of the United States of America, what did he do?

Yup, he bought a ranch.

I miss Texas.

Please, digital. It's "The Man". Capital letters. show some respect.

adolfo velasquez

Actually guys, here in the U.S. the terminal punctuation should go inside the qoutes as in, "The Man."

They were sharpshooters who had guns with rifled barrels

we got the kung fu grip too.

I've had enough of people like that in my life. They just want to talk crap and get people moving against each other for no good reason, but from some crap she just pulled out of her imagination.

Oh, she's got a good reason: it's how she makes her living.

There's already too much damn drama between the races in this country. We're never going to come through these problems if there are people like this unhappy woman, forever creating drama where there actually is none.

As long as there is money to be made from promoting race hatred, race hatred will be promoted.

That's one of the reasons that the United States of America turned out to be such a good idea: we didn't unite because we were all the same race, we united to provide freedom to ourselves, and to become strong enough to defend ourselves against other, mostly monoracial countries.

I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said that there is no room in this country for hyphenated-americanism; we are all americans, and if we think of ourselves as such first, and as members of whatever race second, we will never be less than the most powerful, prosperous, and free nation on the planet.

Of course, that would mean that Jesse Jackson would have to get a job.

Sorry Ace....you have been replaced.
