Is Obama a Jedi Knight? See for yourself

Friday, July 4, 2008

George Lucas won’t answer the question of whether or not Darth Vader is an appropriate name for Dick Cheney, other than to say that Cheney seems to like the nickname (some people think he came up with it himself). But he did say that Obama is definitely a Jedi Knight. “I would say that’s reasonably obvious” says Lucas.

Decide for yourself. Just check out these photos:

On this 4th, remember the Right to Free Speech and Drugs

Friday, July 4, 2008

Someone is going to have an extra reason to celebrate the Fourth of July — Rush Limbaugh just signed a radio contract worth $400 million. This is what our forefathers fought for:
Rush Limbaugh
from 23/6

We have to wonder how things would have been different if Rush had gone to prison for his illegal drug use, rather than using high-priced lawyers to get out of it:

Limbaugh scoffed at the idea that African Americans are disproportionately arrested on drug charges, and suggested that the solution should be to arrest more white drug users. Of course, once it was his own ass on the line, this white drug user changed his tune pretty quick, and championed rehab for himself.

Ever-Ready Fox News lies again, and again, and again

Thursday, July 3, 2008
  1. Gen. Wesley Clark says that McCain’s military record (which he praised) does not automatically make McCain the best candidate for president.
  2. The media, led by Fox News and the McCain campaign, goes wingnut claiming that Clark attacked McCain’s military service (even though he did not).
  3. The McCain campaign tries to blame Obama and attack his lack of patriotism, even though Clark was not speaking on behalf of Obama, and even though Obama publicly rejected what Clark had said. Obama, who frequently calls McCain a “genuine American hero”, is forced to defend his own patriotism.
  4. Fox News says (repeatedly) that if Obama is patriotic, then why did he not vote to condemn Moveon.org when they ran their “General Betray-us” ad against General David Petraeus. Watch them do it in this video:

The only problem is, Obama did vote to condemn the Moveon.org “General Betray-us” ad. But as you can see in the video, this doesn’t stop Fox News from repeating this false accusation.

Lesson: Fox doesn’t actually need a valid reason to attack Obama.
