August 13, 2008
— Ace Robert Scheer, better known as the super-genius mega-brained crimefighter "Dr. Cranium," has put it all together:
Is it possible that this time the October surprise was tried in August, and that the garbage issue of brave little Georgia struggling for its survival from the grasp of the Russian bear was stoked to influence the U.S. presidential election?Before you dismiss that possibility, consider the role of one Randy Scheunemann, for four years a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government, ending his official lobbying connection only in March, months after he became Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's senior foreign policy adviser.
Previously, Scheunemann was best known as one of the neoconservatives who engineered the war in Iraq when he was a director of the Project for a New American Century. It was Scheunemann who, after working on the McCain 2000 presidential campaign, headed the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which championed the U.S. Iraq invasion.
There are telltale signs that he played a similar role in the recent Georgia flare-up. How else to explain the folly of his close friend and former employer, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, in ordering an invasion of the breakaway region of South Ossetia, which clearly was expected to produce a Russian counter-reaction. It is inconceivable that Saakashvili would have triggered this dangerous escalation without some assurance from influential Americans he trusted, like Scheunemann, that the United States would have his back. Scheunemann long guided McCain in these matters, even before he was officially running foreign policy for McCain's presidential campaign.
Scheunemann is at the center of the neoconservative cabal that has come to dominate the Republican candidate's foreign policy stance in a replay of the run-up to the war against Iraq. These folks are always looking for a foreign enemy on which to base a new Cold War, and with the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, it was Putin's Russia that came increasingly to fit the bill.
What? Russia is a convenient patsy for an enemy in our new Cold War?
Um... who the fuck was the enemy in the old Cold War? Fucking Trinidad-Tobago?
Rather than suggesting we're seeking out a "new" enemy in a "new" Cold War, wouldn't it be rather more sensible to suggest that perhaps the last one didn't quite end, but merely receded for 10 years?
Incidentally -- the left has been screaming that with the end of the Cold War, we cringey/stupid conservatives have been all out of sorts without an enemy, and so we made the Islamofascists, Al Qaeda, and Saddam our "new Soviet Union," just to sublimate all that repressed homosexual energy we have into some more constructive destructive channel.
Now this silly-ass sucker of cock is claiming that we made Saddam the New Russia to avoid poking each other in the squeakhole, and now that Saddam is gone, we're making Russia the New Saddam. What?
Yes, it sounds diabolical, but that may be the most accurate way to assess the designs of the McCain campaign in matters of war and peace.
Or not.
There is every indication that the candidate's demonization of Putin is an even grander plan than the previous use of Hussein to fuel American militarism with the fearsome enemy that it desperately needs.
"Demonization of Putin"? You mean the guy murdering journalists by the dozen? The guy who kills dissidents in London? The guy shelling civilian cities?
We're "demonizing" him?
And -- I'm sorry, again I have to say you already played this "create a new enemy card" in claiming we were "demonizing Al Qaeda and Saddam "Sovereign State" Hussein. Does the tired cant ever get refreshed or reworked?
Finally, Sucker of Cock, we actually already have all the fearsome enemies we could want right now.
How fucking absurd do you have to be that with Iran about to get the bomb, North Korea building bombs, and Al Qaeda still trying to buy one from either of the forgoing (or even the "demonized" Russia!), we're out here craving a fearsome enemy?
...
Instead of quoting, let me digest the tired cant: Obama is offering a "measured" and nuanced response by confirming Russia's expansion of empire; the US spends more on the military than any other nation.
Since we're just chucking out leftoid Fun Facts helter-skelter, let's just throw in George Washington used to grow hemp on his farm, didjaknowthatdidjaknowthat?! while we're fucking at it.
Hmmm... Russian tanks roll into Georgia, Josef Stalin's home country, taking over a peaceful democratic Eastern European country, with a murderous and expansionist dictator at the cockpit.
Gee, I must be some sort of crazy person to have thought of the "old" Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin
How convenient to forget that Stalin was a Georgian...
Um, I didn't. No one did.
Remembering Joseph Stalin was a Georgian is not a difficult trick, Dr. Cranium.
I'm sorry-- I thought you were writing a column, not rattling off irrelevancies. But since we're doing that now, I like strawberries but their texture reminds me of armpit-bumps after a girl shaves. Ugh.
Your turn.
Is this sucker of cock claiming that the presence of a Joe Stalin exhibit in a museum establishes Russia's legal right to conquest? That his wax figurine serves as a flag demarcating legally-annexable Russian territory?
Georgia has imperial designs on Georgia itself. Who knew.
In related news, George Bush dreamed covetously of conquering the Free City of Boise, Idaho, and from that staging area, going on to capture the fractious Bandit Empires of Wyoming and Nebraska...
Listen to him spit out "post-communist" like an insult. Read "splitter," "traitor," "quitter."
Let's be clear about what this sucker of cock just said: It is wrong for Georgia to expect that it can govern Georgian lands without risking a Soviet, ahem, Russian invasion; that to expect its own country to be free of foreign armies' interference is, I shit you not, an "imperial design."
Once a lefty Stalinist toe-sucker, always a lefty Stalinist toe-sucker. Russia's not the one with imperial designs here; oh dear me, perish the thought! Sure, their armies are rolling into another sovereign country, but it's the latter country that actually has "imperial designs" on keeping its own fucking territory.
According to Dr. Cranium and his ilk, Russia never invades or conquers other countries for sport and empire. Oh my, no.
But it does maintain of list of countries it might have to liberate with truth and tanks (but mostly tanks) and reserves the right to do so at times of its convenience.
Yeah, About That:
Indeed. Scheer wants a re-do on the whole "look into the soul" thing. Now he thinks Bush had it exactly right.
That's from buzzion.
A Double-Helping of Retard:
There may not be a sign tacked to a bulletin board at McCain headquarters reading, "It's the sexual insecurity, stupid," but McCain's team of operatives, many schooled at Karl Rove's knee, know just what to do when an opportunity presents itself. They've been playing this tune for so long, they don't need to look at the sheet music: Our guy is a real man, their guy is a sissy, rinse, repeat.
...
But mostly, it's Republicans who have been expert at setting up their rigs to drill deep into the male voter's lizard brain, down to where sexual insecurity resides. This is where they draw the line connecting the voter's own worries to the Democratic candidate. This is how they turn fear into contempt and hostility, the same psychological move that makes some men react to an advance from another man or even the sight of an effeminate man with hatred and violence. See that Democrat over there? He's a little prissy, isn't he? Kind of girly. And if you vote for him, what are people going to think about you?
The guy is claiming we're the ones hung up on sexual insecurity, but meanwhile he's the one who can't walk three steps without tripping over an imaginary cock, and and can't help fretting about straight men's reactions if he grabs their balls.
Projection -- it's not just a river in Egypt.
I got it from Hot Air so you can go over there to read the rest of this subatomic psychokinetic fissionist's musings on why you should let him just cup your jock-knockers, just to see how you like it.
Like, just for a second, really. He won't tell.
And if you don't want him to touch you in your no-no special place -- well, that must mean you have "imperial designs" on your own dick.
It's Not Stupid Until It's Certified as Olbermann-Stupid: And now it has been -- the Georgia Truth theory thing, I mean, not wanting to tickle your trouser-tits.

McCain has condemned a "revanchist Russia" that should once again be contained. Although Putin has been the enormously popular elected leader of post-Communist Russia, it is assumed that imperialism is always lurking, not only in his DNA but in that of the Russian people.
... and indeed if Russian troops had occupied the threatened Georgian town of Gori, they would have found a museum still honoring their local boy, who made good by seizing control of the Russian revolution. Indeed five Russian bombs were allegedly dropped on Gori's Stalin Square on Tuesday.
It should also be mentioned that the post-Communist Georgians have imperial designs on South Ossetia and Abkhaza...
For McCain to so fervently embrace Scheunemann's neoconservative line of demonizing Russia in the interest of appearing tough during an election is a reminder that a senator can be old and yet wildly irresponsible.
Haven't these dipshits spent the last 2 years or so talking about how much of a despicable thug Putin is and how stupid Bush has been to being suckered in by this evil man. Now he's being "demonized"?
Meanwhile, McCain himself was sent out to pose in front of working oil rigs, to testify to his thirst for pulling more black gold from the earth. The message couldn't be plainer: See that itty-bitty, little tire gauge? If you vote for Obama, that's how big your penis is. If you vote for McCain, on the other hand, your penis is as big as this rig, thrusting its gigantic shaft in and out of the ground! Real men think keeping your tires inflated is for weenies.

The Daily Show once did a bit where they had the "bush of today" debate the Bush from the 2000 election, pointing out all these changes in his views. Bush at least had the occurence of 9/11 to change his view. These idiots have nothing more than whichever side conservatives are on is the wrong side to be on.

Holy shit- I've never considered that angle before. Georgia intentionally provoking a Russian invasion that kills indiscriminately and is threatening to overthrow the government all to help out McCain and a former lobbyist. It all makes sense now!
And when I say it makes sense, I mean that I've never considered it because I'm not (quite) the drooling shit-flinging retard that is Robert Scheer.

You know, Ace, one devastating card we could play (yes, there are so many wonderful cards these days) is the YABADABDOO! card.
We could promise to exchange with the Russians the meaning of "yabadabadoo" for cessation of all hostilities.
They'll go for that. They've been working on the yabadabadoo conundrum for years. It's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside a riddle, rolled in a cannoli, and covered with secret sauce.

Well, it looks as though the Cable TV clearinghouse for all things moonbat is echoing the talking points that McSame/McBush started all of this.
I sometimes wonder if these brainiacs actually believe what they say/write, or if once in the good graces of the Kossacks, have to keep repeating the Krazy Kos lines in order to keep from getting attacked by them.
Just airin' a theory, as the left loves to say.

"Although Putin has been the enormously popular elected leader of post-Communist Russia,"
The reason Vladimir is so FUCKING popular is that he use to head the KGB (I'm not talking about the radio station in San Diego)...you don't think that the people in Russia have forgotten that shit, do ya? I bet that he can still make people "disappear", with a little help from his friends...Vlad probably has access to the barbed cock of Satan for entertaining his "friends", and allows for shitheads like Scheer to suck it , ensuring that he is in good standing for the resurrection of the Sickle and Hammer and all that it stands for...
Memo for shithead Scheer - read a book or two on Russian/Soviet history, dickhead. This is SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for the leadership over there. They are some of the most paranoid mofo's in the world - except they have access to nukes, and would use them if pushed far enough. And while you're at it - get me a beer, BITCH!

As I have stated here otherwise: some folks are too stupid to realize they are stupid.
"The guy is claiming we're the ones hung up on sexual insecurity"
Let's do the math:
On the one hand the Dems have had:
a President who sport porked Hollywood starlets in the White House pool room- a married presidential hopeful who got caught with his marlin hanging just off one knee & his chica perched on the other- a congressionl Appropriations Chair caught cavorting in a DC fountain while at the equivalent of three sheets under the influence [one over the gold standard for congressional demeanor in those days] with a local exotic dancer temporarily dispossessed of the exotic parts of her professional attire- meaning the overwhelming majority of the such attire [somewhat understated given her form fitting gown appeared to form the entirety of such attire- another President who took after the sport porkers shall we say record high cred in bed with a vengeance - a one time [and according to George Will likely a future time] governor of California who lived in a communal home along with his girlfriend of those days a nightinggale with a nearly cefalopodic inclination to the gathering of sperm packets - and current senior Congressman not outed or even self-outed but instead garrolously proudly openly "out there"
On the other hand the Republicans have had Foley...Craig...the late notorious Republican legal hit man who was actually a raving prancing pucker plonker who will go unnamed but whose first name might have been Roy - the last two chairs of the RNC - a certain son of the south Senator with an irrepressible interest in men in uniform- and with so many a mere grouping of them has been given its own name [Hint: Its not "gated community condo"].
Ace- if- as you appear to wish we would simply assume without submission of any proof- you picked the Republican party for its quintessential manliness- I feel I must squeeze your sad little lonely ballon until it bursts & suggest that- on the evidence mind you- so not some slimebucket single source rumor like Novak has spent his career selling- the first letter in GOP may- as legend has it- does not stand for "grand" at all.
Still- if it makes you feel more masculine or something- knock yourself out.

"If you won't vote for Obama, you're racist" is so five minutes ago.
"If you won't vote for Obama, you're secretly ghey" is so now!
By the time it's over, this presidential campaign may set some kind of record for the sheer quantity of silliness, trivia, and stupidity with which the news media becomes temporarily consumed.
Nice opener. Silliness is bad. I guess this is going to be something different... something substantive.
But before we throw up our hands in despair, we should note that even the dumbest of campaign controversies can be quite revealing of the symbolic undercurrents that flow beneath our politics.
Ah. So silliness is actually substantive, and you're going to show me why. All right. Hit me.
The message couldn't be plainer: See that itty-bitty, little tire gauge? If you vote for Obama, that's how big your penis is. If you vote for McCain, on the other hand, your penis is as big as this rig, thrusting its gigantic shaft in and out of the ground! Real men think keeping your tires inflated is for weenies.
I see. So, to expand on your thesis, any proposal by Democrats that is criticized as "inadequate" is really veiled attack on "sexual inadequacy." Got it.
But mostly, it's Republicans who have been expert at setting up their rigs to drill deep into the male voter's lizard brain, down to where sexual insecurity resides.
Wait. You just used a drilling rig metaphor as a symbol of Republican male on male penetration. Your message couldn't be plainer: If you vote for McCain you're letting yourself be penetrated by his rig. Now I see how easy this is!
See that Democrat over there? He's a little prissy, isn't he? Kind of girly. And if you vote for him, what are people going to think about you?
Hang on. But if I vote for McCain, it's because he's penetrated me... and then what will people think about me! Oh, my GOD! There's no way for me to vote without people thinking I'm teh ghey!
At 72, John McCain is himself not exactly a simmering pot of heterosexual energy, causing women to swoon at the first whiff of his man-musk.
Um. Did you just question John McCain's manhood?
Why do you want to f*ck me, Mr. Author?

There's information, and then there is what you do with the information.
There are experts and then there are dilettantes.
McCain has experience and experts. At least he comes prepared. Exactly what for remains the enigma.
Obama insists on relying solely on his own malleable "me, myself, and I" Marxist identity for smooth sailing. Try to pin him down, and hear Obama squeel; this little piggy went wee-wee-wee all the way home. Loser.
Meanwhile, WTF was Bush doing attending the games when satellites showed exactly what was happening? And are we supposed to be impressed that it "looked" as though Bush and Putin were "exchanging strong words" with Laura sitting between them in the public stadium? Don't tell me that lip readers weren't catching what was said if there were no microphones around.

...
Is this sucker of cock claiming that the presence of a Joe Stalin exhibit in a museum establishes Russia's legal right to conquest? That his wax figurine serves as a flag demarcating legally-annexable Russian territory?"
Just going by your quote, but I interpreted it to mean that he thinks the Stalin museum's presence indicates that Russians love this corky little town and would never ever bring violence to its hallowed lanes if they hadn't been provoked by Georgian imperialistic attempts at preserving its own internationally recognized borders retaining its sovereignty refusing to bend over and accept Russia's latest "assistance".
Makes me wonder if this guy was one of the herd that was bemoaning our failure to recognize the "sovereignty" of Saddam's Iraq back in '02.
The Stalin statue comment also brings to mind a slightly more abstract tendency on the left - to absorb the (professed) political/religious doctrines of a hostile state (from afar, safe from the local realities of same behind the borders of the US they claim to despise), and then imagine they are empowered to "understand" the intricacies and nuances behind that state's every action and sneering at those preferring to seek a simpler answer and who areunwilling to sip the coolaid.
For example terrorists simply could not operate across Iraq/Iran/Syria/etc because the various local strains of Islamism are "incompatible", i.e. by assuming a foreign power to be a colony of antbots ruled by a collective hive mind of predictable and tradition-bound directives they mistake the pretext of yesterday's invasion for the rock solid assurance of safety from a new one today, and lose sight of the simpler (and more reliable) explanation for an enemy's behavior - human nature aka greed, self interest, bitterness, etc.
After all it is only the U.S. that is actually guilty of that particular sin, you see. Like a starry eyed teenage rebel, everyone outside of their own home becomes a principled pillar of virtuosity while mom and dad are jerks who say one thing and does another.

It boggles the mind to think that the LA Times has actually been restraining Scheer's industrial-strength paranoia all these years.
* Platonic of course.

"It never occurred to me but Obama must be a pencil dick."
No wonder Michelle is so uptight. Maybe she should do a reverse Breck Girl and go lay the Dallas football team once a week. If that doesn't help her issues maybe she should try the cheerleaders on instead.

Look people. It no longer matters who is elected. Republicans and Democrats are really one party underwrited by corporations. The real question is who do you want to look at or listen to for the next 4 years. McCain or Obama? Were all going down with the New World Order coming. Both candidates have eluded or even mentioned the New World Order in some of their speeches. We will live in a world where the only thing that will save you is how much money you have. Without it, you will depend on your employer (until your laid off) or the Government. Most American's cannot cope or get by without one of these institutions. So who are you? Are you a corporate drone or a Government drone? Very few Americans have their own business . They don't have the means or the drive. And yes, one day we will blow ourselves up.
