John Feehery, a former staffer for Dennis Hastert and conservative lobbyist, warns in this CNN commentary that the Democrats will use their new filibuster-proof majority to foist silly French ideas like the metric system on Americans.

OH NOES! Not the metric system!

Dear Concerned Conservative,

Bzzzt! WRONG!

Late last week, Jay Nixon’s administration agreed to pay $450,000 in taxpayer money to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now to settle a lawsuit against the state.

Chairman Cole doesn’t want you to know the details of this settlement. You can learn more about it here.

This group, better known as ACORN, is dedicated to electing liberal Democrats and linked to organized voter registration fraud in Missouri and across the nation. For years, they have worked closely with Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.

This group, better known as ACORN, is dedicated to electing liberal Democrats – They’re not doing a very good job, since a lot centrist Democrats have been getting elected…

Make no mistake about it: ACORN will certainty reward Carnahan for this cozy relationship—and they will stop at nothing to make sure she is elected to the United States Senate.

That’s why I am asking you for an online contribution of $35, $50, $100 or $500 to the Missouri Republican Party. Every dollar will help us overcome these cozy arrangements and combat ACORN’s influence.

During the lawsuit, Carnahan stood shoulder-to-shoulder with ACORN. They even admitted that she had been “helpful” prior to the lawsuit. Now, Carnahan refuses to say whether they deserve nearly half a million dollars in Missouri taxpayers’ money.

Unlike ACORN, the Missouri Republican Party will not be receiving nearly half a million dollars of taxpayer money to spread our message.

Your online contribution is vitally important.

We are up against a well-funded organization with a history of questionable behavior. – That’s a pretty good description of the Republican party…

Thank you again for your continued support of the Missouri Republican Party.

Sincerely,

David Cole
Chairman

P.S. We can only stop ACORN and their hand-picked candidate, Robin Carnahan, with your help. Please make an online contribution of $35, $50, $100 or $500 to the Missouri Republican Party, so we can combat their influence and spread our conservative message.

(via Think Progress)

Todd Akin (R-MO) implied that his fellow climate change-denying GOP congressmen are more knowledgeable than Democrats because they have “passed high school science”:

AKIN: This whole thing strikes me if it weren’t so serious as being a comedy you know. I mean, we just went from winter to spring. In Missouri when we go from winter to spring, that’s a good climate change. I don’t want to stop that climate change you know. Who in the world want to put politicians in charge of the weather anyways? What a dumb idea. [...]

Some of the models said that we’re going to have surf at the front steps of the Capitol pretty soon. I was really looking forward to that. [...]

We’ve been joined by another doctor, a medical doctor but also a guy who graduated from high school science as well, from Georgia, my good friend, Congressman Gingrey. … So to have actually a guy who’s passed high school science is tremendously helpful. And Dr. Fleming from Louisiana.

Lt. Governor Peter Kinder is a Spammer

More Republican spam…

Dear Concerned Conservative,

Bzzzt! WRONG!

Last November, Missouri was the only battleground state that voted for the Republican nominee for president. Now, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Jay Nixon are working harder than ever to take control of this state, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

In other words, “Democracy sucks for the losers.”

That’s why I am personally asking you for an online contribution of $35, $50, $100 or $500 to the Missouri Republican Party. Every dollar will help us get out our message without depending on the national media.

Every dollar will help us get out our message without depending on the national media. I guess Kinder doesn’t know about Fox News…

In the past week:

  • Joe Biden came to Missouri to defend the Obama Administration’s reckless tax, borrow, and spend policies—and held a high-dollar fundraiser in St. Louis.

<sarcasm>
Because Dick Cheney never defended the Bush Administration reckless tax, borrow, and spend policies and never attended high-dollar fundraisers.
<sarcasm>

  • Robin Carnahan was endorsed by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, but she refused to answer a reporter’s questions about her position on the secret ballot in worker elections. She later admitted that she has joined with union bosses in opposition to the secret ballot.
  • Jay Nixon made the ridiculous claim that Republicans want to force low-income children to work in coal mines before they get health insurance.

Kinder doesn’t mention Jay Nixon was being sarcastic when he made that remark. As for ridiculous claims, Republicans are the masters of ridiculous claims.

The evasions and despicable attacks of these Democrats came as tens of thousands of Missourians exercised their First Amendment rights and took to the streets to protest an out-of-control federal government in tea parties across our state.

Tens of thousands? Looked more like hundreds of Missourians…

These rallies should have made it clear to Washington, DC, and Jefferson City that uninhibited government expansion is unacceptable. But we can’t stop now—we must continue to spread the message and hold our elected officials accountable.

These rallies made it clear a bunch of morons who get all their news from right wing radio and Fox News are willing to protest against their own interests.

Funny how Kinder suddenly thinks our elected officials must be held accountable…

Without your support, we will be unable to continue the momentum that thousands of conservative activists like you have started.

Make no mistake about it—we face a well-funded, aggressive national and state Democrat Party that is backed by millions of dollars of special interest funding from big labor, trial lawyers and left-wing millionaires in New York and California.

These liberal elites, along with their friends in the media, have already begun characterizing conservative activists as dangerous. Some have even called the tea parties “extremist” and “unhealthy.”

Some have even called the tea parties “extremist” and “unhealthy.” – But most have called the tea parties stupid and lacking a sense of irony.

We will not stand for it—and you shouldn’t either. That’s why your online contribution is so important.

Together, we can defeat this liberal attack and hold the Democrats accountable.

In other words: Only Democrats need to be held accountable. Republicans, on the other hand are free to run up huge deficits, start unnecessary wars, torture, etc.

Thank you in advance for your steadfast support of the Missouri Republican Party.

Sincerely,

[Peter Kinder Signature]
Peter Kinder
Lt. Governor

P.S. We have learned that Barack Obama will come to Missouri next week to celebrate his first 100 days in office. To fight his administration’s unprecedented expansion of the federal government, we need your help. Please make an online contribution of $35, $50, $100 or $500 to the Missouri Republican Party, so we can get out our common-sense, conservative message.

Liar or just stupid?

Filed under: Politics - , — jac @ April 23, 2009 - 3:39 pm

I say both.

O’Reilly falsely claimed Nixon never met with Mao

From the April 22 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

O’REILLY: Ok, so the best thing that the president did in the past weekend?

COLMES: Well, he certainly had a wonderful moment with Hugo Chavez.

O’REILLY: That was wonderful.

COLMES: And now, I know that you people often think you — when I say “you people,” I mean, you — probably think that dictator DNA got off on him, and he’s going to come back and infect the United States because, look, he touched the guy.

O’REILLY: You like this thing?

COLMES: Do I like it?

O’REILLY: No, Miller didn’t like this whole thing.

COLMES: Oh, what a shock. What a shock that Miller didn’t like that.

O’REILLY: But you — you — what did you find worthy about it?

COLMES: Well, first of all, this shows — first of all, what do you, ignore the guy? When George W. Bush was at the UN and asked, “Will you ever — will you talk to Ahmadinejad if you’re in the same room?” “No, I won’t talk to him” — like a 5-year-old.

What do you, ignore somebody standing right next to you? Do we — because he touched him, put his hand on his shoulder, shook his hand? Do these people have a problem with Mao and Nixon? And of course, you worked for Richard Nixon. I mean, Nixon goes to China, do you have a problem with –

O’REILLY: It was Zhou and Nixon. Mao was not involved.

COLMES: There was –

O’REILLY: Yeah, Zhou.

COLMES: Did you have a problem with looking into Putin’s eyes and seeing his soul? Did you have a problem with any of the other –

O’REILLY: All right, but — OK, all of those are valid points, as long as you realize it was Zhou Enlai, not Mao Zedong.

COLMES: Zhou Enlai, OK.

O’REILLY: OK. Yeah, I don’t want to confuse you — the high school thing. But –

COLMES: Talk slowly and I think I’ll be OK.

Definitely not a picture of Nixon shaking hands with Mao
