outright racism

Jesus Christ what TERRIBLE people.

Holy shit. So these two cousins in Louisiana, Hue and Cindy Vo, were co-valedictorians in their graduating class and they got to make a speech. They talked about their memories of high school, their friends, etc. Then because her parents don’t speak very good English, Cindy added a line in their native Vietnamese as a [...]


Open Thread Madness, Grover Norquist Edition

Conservative douchebag Grover Norquist is calling Obama “Kerry with a tan.”
So what does that make Grover Norquist?


No! Not The Country Club!!

First Tiger Woods and now THIS?!
“Even if you never met him, you know this guy,” Rove said, per Christianne Klein. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”
Rove went on to say [...]


Sexism, Racism and Presidential Politics

2008 has taught us a lot, but mostly it has taught us about ourselves. For instance, we have learned that all Hillary Clinton supporters are racists, all Obama supporters are sexists, and Republicans just hate everyone, even their own nominee.
But did you know that all Americans are actually jerky sexist racists?How else can you explain [...]

Anyway, things were going smoothly for maybe like, a minute when the sound stopped synching up with the film, followed [...]


Patterns

This idea that white people aren’t going to vote for Obama in the general election is very troubling. It’s also built on very faulty logic. No Democrat nominee has been able to capture a majority of the white votes in the general election since before 1992. (Read that line again, slowly.) This is because democrats don’t traditionally win Presidential races by getting a majority of white voters.


John Hagee, It may be time to fire your publicist.

John Hagee, pastor at the San Antonio-based Cornerstone Church and President of Global Evangelism Television has built an entire empire out of saying bizarre and wildly offensive things about Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Palestinians and African Americans. He once even held a “slave auction” at his church. Despite all of this, he simply can not get [...]


Obama’s Big Mistake

On Friday Barack Obama spoke at a closed-press fundraiser in California where he said some pretty harsh things about former and current President Bush as well as former President Clinton’s handling of issues that effect the rural poor.
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, [...]


The “Insignificance” of Bill Richardson

Bill Richardson, former U.S. Congressman, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, former U.S. Secretary of Energy and current governor of New Mexico has endorsed Barack Obama for President. An endorsement from a politician (and former competitor) with such an extensive resume should be a huge deal at this point in the campaign. There is [...]


I’m not a racist or anything, but…

Editor’s Note: After making a string of controversial remarks recently, Geraldine Ferraro has announced in a letter to Hillary Clinton that she is resigning from her campaign finance committee. Pinko has obtained an exclusive copy of this unedited letter.
Dear Hil,
What the fuck did I say? I read your open letter from January when you reminded [...]
