A JOURNALIST'S TWIN POINTS OF REFERENCE SHOULD BE THE REAL AND THE IMPORTANT

When you disagree with Obama, you are saying to these people, ‘Your favorite band sucks.’
The Tough Alliance: Neo Violence (directed by Marcus Soderlund)

"There is NOTHING about what we're doing that screams cultural revolution," Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla once told Associated Press reporter Jake Coyle. Try saying that again to a military tribunal after being waterboarded without the right to an attorney, Wallaby the Red. While the sensitively krautrock-suggesting sounds of these urban elitist taxi-takers reached the top of the album charts this week, America faces a much graver threat-- in the form of a band that's obviously much more popular, even though they have never had a #1 album, or even gone platinum. You wanna know the most terrifying part? We can't even count on the so-called Mainstream Media to warn us about it.


Hey world I've had enough.
Thomas Friedman: "Suck on This" (fall 2007; via Gawker)


Item! Sen. Barack Obama, a Democrat Party presidential hopeful from the suspiciously waterfront-possessing (and therefore elitist but also a bunch of simple-minded parrots) heartland state of Illinois, recently spoke before 75,000 people in Oregon.

Item! Item! Here's what the MSM wouldn't tell you. The reason the 75,000-strong crowd gave a skinny apostate Muslim a rock star reception was because there were actual rock stars there, too! Yup, and just as in the days of swiveling pelvises, indecent Mr. Mojo Risin exposure, and New Kids on the Block biting the head off of Fred Savage's friend from "The Wonder Years" while singing "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" in the pit at a Machine Rages On concert (um, forget that last one), this rock music has the devil in it. The communist devil, in fact! The real rock stars at the Obama event were the members of a popular beat combo calling itself the Decemberists. Yes, just like the 1825 Russian uprising. Wikipedia states: "The band has used the National Anthem of the Soviet Union as an introduction at many concerts." Oh, no wonder they're opening for Neville Chamberlain.



I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.
Chris Matthews: Yeah that clip again


But this just goes to show why you shouldn't believe those snooty highbrow empty headed Botox cheeked latte mustached information-having journalist types. They'll tell you people came out for a politician who has solicited lots and lots of donations from many many people! But they won't tell you people may have come out for a Communist ("Capitol" Records? ...More like "Kremlin"!) heavy metal band that loves to glorify the humble chimbley sweep and ugly body parts like right ankles instead of good old American beer, liquor, French fries, and 9/11. Is that what the kids are calling "crunk"?

Or I might be putting too much faith in the rockcrit abilities of Common Sense Wonder, Newsbusters' avuncular yet teddy bear-like Robert Knight, National Review's Jim Geraghty, AOL's Jay Allbritton, Black & Right's Bob Parks, Brad Staggs, Free Republic ("Band Opening for Obama in Oregon Frequently Uses Soviet Anthem"), Punish the Innocent as Well's Aaron, Free Republic again ("Sadly, I will no longer listen to the Decemberists"), Culture and Media Institute, the well-named Lone Wacko, some Lucianne Goldberg message boarders ("I believe that Obama has become so vain and is such a socialist Marxist that he will mock all of the US and his followers by displaying it one way or another while denying it and continuing to play the moderate. Has there ever been a more dangerous candidate for president? I don't think so."), Liberty Post, Gather.com's Shawn M ("the band is pro-Communist"), Yahoo Answers' Night Guy, Jason at Sonoran Alliance, Defending the Truth's CNREDD, Power Line's SusanGo, and-- oh, jeez-- Hugh Hewitt. Only Joe Lieberman can help me now. Kiss 'im once for me, Larry Kudlow.
