COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Obama slamma, justa gangsta pranksta.


A little street hustling from the Obama camp. So much for property rights. The Obama star struck crowd will have to deal with some of the tricks the golden brown boy learned on the streets of the projects. God willing.

(hat tip Doug, the traitorous)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Is MySpace always mine or can it belong to someone else? At the cost of losing 160,000 friends, Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign has taken over control of the MySpace page listed under his name on the popular social networking site.
For the past two and a half years, the page has been run by an Obama supporter from Los Angeles named Joe Anthony. At first, that arrangement was fine with the Obama team, which worked with Anthony on the content and even had the password to make changes themselves.

But as the site exploded in popularity in recent months, the campaign became concerned about an outsider having control of the content and responses going out under Obama's name and told Anthony they wanted him to turn it over.

In this new frontier of online campaigning, it's hard to determine the value of 160,000 MySpace friends—about four times what any other official campaign MySpace page has amassed. But the Obama campaign decided they wouldn't pay $39,000, which is what Anthony said he proposed for his extensive work on the site, plus some additional fees up to $10,000.

MySpace reluctantly stepped in to settle the dispute and decided that Obama should have the rights to control http://www.myspace.com/barackobama as of Monday night, while Anthony had the right to take the contact information for all the friends who signed up while he was in control. That includes the right to tell them exactly how he feels about the Obama campaign.

Anthony referred The Associated Press to his MySpace blog, where he has written that he is heartbroken that the Obama campaign was "bullying" him out of the page he built. He said the candidate has lost his vote.

Meanwhile, the Obama campaign is trying to rebuild his friends network from scratch and was up to more than 17,000 by midday Wednesday. "We support the MySpace community, and look forward to building our relationship," said campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

  1. We're a year a a half away from the election. The Clinton Machine hasn't even established it's WAR ROOM yet.

    Sure Obama 'yo Momma is the dandy now but just wait until the Clinton chipper shredder gets fired up on the take him down now setting. He'll be g-o-n-e.

    Hillary hasn't been working on this centrist-kinder-gentler-I-love-the-military pose for nothing.
    It's probably taken some strong pills and psychotherapy for her to do it but she badly wants the POWER. It might mean a trip to Fort Marcy Park for Obama but that's politics.

    Also it is rare when a US Senator is elected to the Presidency. Last one that comes to mind was LBJ and he first ascended over the dead body of JFK, so he was technically voted in as a sitting President..But before that? Yep JFK, with a good deal of help from the dead of Cooke County ,Ill. and Richard Daly. And before that you have to go back to Warren G Harding. That's the full list folks Kennedy and Harding straight from the Senate to the WH.

    Yep, I'll be a world beater for Obama Heussin, a first term Senator to make it to the WH.

    In fact I understand Hillary is already trying to hire a NJ state trooper to become Obama's driver.

  2. Did I hear someone say Mitt (segue)

    Mitt Romney’s September Dawn

    Robert Novak tells the story of a September 11th that occurred 150 years ago:

    Opening Friday, a motion picture called “September Dawn” depicts a brutal American massacre that has been forgotten. On Sept. 11, 1857, in Utah Territory, Mormons slaughtered more than 120 California-bound settlers from Arkansas. Retelling at this time the Sept. 11 carnage of 150 years ago does not help Mormon Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.

    The basic facts of the Mountain Meadows Massacre are not in dispute. Mormons mobilized Paiute Indians, accompanied by Mormons disguised as Indians, to attack a peaceful wagon train. The settlers beat back the attack but were left short of food and ammunition. They disarmed at the request of the Mormons, who said they would lead the settlers to safety but instead turned on them, murdering every man, woman and child above age 8. All that is in doubt historically is whether this was ordered by Brigham Young, president of the Mormon Church and territorial governor of Utah. “September Dawn” says he was responsible; the church denies it.

    Today’s Mormons, including Romney, cannot be blamed for those events. Nevertheless, the candidate has followed the church’s example and ignored the movie. Romney will not comment on “September Dawn” and indeed will not watch it. That follows his decision not to defend his faith or actively fight religious bias that has impeded his candidacy.

    And this in this, I think, is the back story that has been a part of the Romney campaign from the beginning.

    Like it or not, the Morman Church has played a part in American history, and the truth of that history needs to be discussed. One of the flaws that the Latter Day Saints have exemplified is the inability to admit, or even discuss, the mistakes that were made in the past. As it is, the movie does nothing to help their image, or Romney’s:

    Brigham Young — played by the British actor Terence Stamp — is portrayed in the film as a 19th-century Osama bin Laden. Calling himself a “second Muhammad,” he insists on the “shedding of blood” of “gentiles.” He is seen fighting the United States, which was sending troops to Utah.

    The church has always accepted Young’s plea that he had nothing to do with the massacre. But Voight is certain that he did based on research for the movie. “If any miserable scoundrels come here, cut their throats,” Young said in his “Blood Atonement Sermon” (which concluded that he would not fight “unless they come upon us and compel us”). The movie’s researchers found in the church’s archives a generic threat against interlopers: “I will loose the Indians on them, and I will slit their throats from ear to ear.”

    Novak argues, rightly I think, that Romney’s efforts to ignore questions like this only hurt his campaign for the While House.

  6. The Republicans are going to drop a couple of former Western red states that will fall from the attrition of illegal immigration and illegal voting. That is a permanent change. The only hope that the Republicans will have is to retain the rest of the South and West and pick up a few North Eastern States. They only have a chance with Ohio, Pennsylvania, and possibly New Hampshire and Maine.

  8. I can believe cutler's lament about Rudy.
    He is a man of many flaws.

    There are many distinct differences 'tween him and me. There are more and greater difference 'tween me and the position of Mr Obama or Ms Clinton.

    The Commander can make a huge difference in the prosecution of a war. Leadership can make a differece. As an enlighten poster noted yesterday, the US is not omnipotent. Far from it.

    Rudy could identify the Enemy, that would make a big difference.

    Dissatisfied Iraqi Sunni in Anbar are not a threat to the US. Well, at least a lesser threat than aQ operatives exfiltrating Pakistan for missions in Europe and the Americas.

  9. Ohio?
    After the Taft debacle, Ohio will be lost for at least a couple of cycles.

    New Jersey could be in play, PA, also. If Rudy were the nominee, NY could be in play. Major shifts would be required in the Dem playbook.

    The GOP's current crop of "leaders" do not understand offense. This current crop have always played defense, from a majority position.
    Those days are gone.

    AZ could easily swing Dem in '08.
    The heavy influx of Californios has already made a major impact.

  10. They have to want to win and they have to get away from the single issue litmus test. If the Republicans do that they can stay relevant. The Republicans have to coalesce on universal conservative American values, that respect the individual rather than adulate the state. The party needs to be of the people as should the government. Too many people put far too much trust in government and those is power. There is a party set up for that and that is the Democrat Party.

  11. Here is an interesting story of military ineptitude. A Sgt was shot and killed, because "everyone" in this Marine unit failed in basic weapons training. Also in weapons storage. Who ran this arms room?
    They rack the weapons with magazines in the weapons?
    After a life fire training excercise NO ONE cleaned this Sgts weapon? The Standards have definately slipped, of late, if that's true.

    "The death was the result of individual and small-unit negligence and a lack of supervision," Maj. Gen. John Paxton Jr. wrote in the report. "The tragedy could have been prevented."

    Investigators found a "declining respect" at Pendleton for ammunition that is not accounted for. That mind-set likely formed in the Anbar province of Iraq, where members of the battalion did combat tours and where accountability of ammunition "has dulled," the report said.

    Paxton recommended a review of live-fire safety and training procedures at Pendleton.

    The report recounts events that led to Algrim's death, beginning 10 days before the shooting, when Hohman, 23, became ill during a training exercise with live ammunition.

    Hohman left his rifle in his platoon's tent and was treated in the emergency room at Camp Pendleton's hospital. His rifle was moved from the tent to the site of the next training exercise, an urban-combat simulation with blank bullets, but no one checked to see whether the gun was still loaded.


    The whole story stinks of CYA on many levels.

  16. After what seemed like days of waiting (though it was just over 36 hours), I finally learned tonight that I've gotten an embed slot with the 1-4 Cavalry of the 1st Infantry Division. I'll fly out sometime tomorrow via helicopter and join up with the unit for a week of living, eating, sleeping, and operating alongside these combat troops. To say I'm ecstatic - and am looking forward to it - would be a vast understatement.

    Army Spec. Wyatt Harper, from Fort MacPherson in my own state of Georgia, was a real trooper throughout this effort, putting up with my incessant requests and reminders and getting fast results when it seemed that such an assignment would not even be possible, let alone timely.

    So, at some point tomorrow, Victoria and I will again part ways. She will bring you some of the best that Baghdad, MNF-I, and perhaps other people and locales have to offer, while I am stuck with a low-echelon unit, living in the dirt and getting a front-row view to our troops' prosecution of this war.

    I'd take the latter any day.

  22. And besides, when's the last time you had two well dressed, polite dudes, shaven too, come to your door, and treat you right?

    Did I ever tell the story about a professor here and his four daughters? He used to run a little bar here, part time too. Always wanted to go to his daughters weddings. First one ran off in the night, so he missed out. Can't recall the circumstances of the second one, but he missed out, but by the time the third one can along, he had been divorced by his wife, and she said, 'If you come to the wedding I'm going to shoot you' so he again missed out. Finally the fourth one met up with a nice Mormon, and he was now on talking terms with his wife. Big wedding planned in the Temple at SLC. Changes the oil in his VW Bug, buys a new suit and shoes, gets a hair cut, heads of to SLC. Walks up to the Temple just in time, but no, you ain't welcome, you not a Mormon, you is verboten as being unclean or something. 'But it's my daughter getting married in there'--no matter, they won't let him in.

    Really pissed him off, missing his last chance, and he told me he would never speak to a Mormon again. If he is still alive, I think he's not in the Romney camp.

  80. Rat,
    You didn't answer:
    Does that list of 160 k Obama supporters exist, and if so, where/under who's custody?

  81. I just hope I don't get too assimilated into the DC crap, and lose track of reality. By and large, our leadership go to the same schools, the same social events, and share the same assumptions. Few people are willing to actually fight over ideas and come to blows with people with any power or influence. It is all about personal careers and fitting in with the general political trends.

    They're intellectually lazy after 50 years of being the top dog. In the absence of vision, they fall back on the familiar. Everything that happens today, must be like yesterday. Hence we're stuck with 50 year old alliances and allies that no longer even like or help us.

  84. I do not know, doug.
    If the original owner has not pissed off mMr Murdock, he should be able to set up a mirror site.

    I've never utilized Mr Murdock's mySpace, though my daughter maintains a page. I'd assume the fellow kept a copy of his work, but as we learned at BC, the value of free services are often worth the price.

  86. I was emphasizing organizational group think more than nefariousness.

    Although, as in the case of Rep. Jefferson, the boys and girls clubs can get nefarious as well.
