“I swear to you, I do not know this man!”
Dammit, I do not need this kind of gimme. I am perfectly capable of hammering the Democrats without… the active assistance of the Democratic party itself.

#rsrh Great, I have to burn a blog post on this.
Gee. Thanks.
Sunshine State Sarah does her best to mitigate the damage that N number of boo-ers (and boors) did at last night’s debate:
The debate included video questions that were submitted on YouTube, and one came from a soldier serving in Iraq who is gay and asked about the candidates’ opinions on don’t ask don’t tell. There was audible booing after his question…however, please note that it was not the crowd booing. It was only one or two people.
…but said damage was in point of fact done. It is not the end of the world, and it is not even going to cost us next year’s election, but booing a soldier who is serving in a war zone is still a stupid and low-rent activity that makes you (deservedly) look bad. It also makes the people sitting next to you look bad. And you don’t get a mulligan on it if the soldier is gay. Continue reading #rsrh Great, I have to burn a blog post on this.
Aww: Buckley the Lesser feels bad about how they booed Bush.
Buckley the Lesser can… stay right where he is.
No, I will not link directly to the man – I suggest that you go to the Daily Beast main page via this article by Richard Cohen on the endlessly funny Kennedy-Paterson New York meltdown, or even this one by Tucker Carlson, and go look it up there – but I will tell you that he apparently “winced” at the way that his fellow Obama supporters urinated on the Inauguration ceremony by booing the former President. Let’s just get this out of the way: to every Obama supporter feeling similar “discomfort”?
Sit down, make yourself comfortable, and have a nice cup of Shut The Fuck Up*. Your embarrassing comrades-in-Obama booed and taunted former President Bush because they were carefully taught over the last eight years to do so. You taught them to do this – or, in the case of Buckley the Lesser and his ilk, you joined the company, gratefully, of those that taught them to do this. And your “remorse” is a contemptuously empty gesture until such time as you back it with actions that would prevent such things from happening in the future. Which you will, of course, not do: after all, some day there will be another Republican in the White House.
Much more simply: the people who booed were at least honest in their hatred. You are not.
And we can tell. Quite easily, in fact.
