I'm proud to have opposed both two major recent U.S. personality cults - 9/02/2009

Due to it being played in a classroom in Utah, the creepy, seven month-old pledge video made by a group of B-list celebrities to Barack Obama is making the rounds again. The original video is here, and an answer video I made about it is attached. While the exact circumstances are quite unimportant, Jay Nordlinger and others at National Review are apparently upset about the (original) video. Accord...

Obama administration wants artists to push their agenda (NEA, serve.gov) - 8/26/2009

A couple weeks ago, representatives of the Obama administration held a conference call with dozens from the art world in which those officials encouraged the artists to push issues that are also being pushed by the Barack Obama administration, including healthcare reform and cap and trade. The details are in this long, disjoined report from someone who took part in the call. Those on the call stre...

Sally Quinn drools all over Michelle Obama's arms - 5/10/2009

Washington Post "Staff Writer" Sally Quinn offers "The Nation's Embracing, and Embraceable, Arms" (link): "May I change the subject," said a prominent Washington theologian at a recent dinner. The conversation had been high-minded -- religion, philosophy, the nature of evil. "I'd like to talk about Michelle Obama's arms," he said. He is a big ...

Census worker sign: "Yes we can! 2010 census." (highly politicized Los Angeles office) - 4/06/2009

Ari Bloomekatz of the Los Angeles Times offers this blurb: "The census is here!" shouted Esther Cepeda, manager of the local census office downtown. Music played and employees carried signs that read: "The census, coming to your neighborhood" and "Yes we can! 2010 census." "Yes we can" was, of course, one of Barack Obama's campaign slogans, and he took ...

Liz Sidoti /AP: Obama's opponents still racist (lies, takes quotes out of context, elides statistics...) - 3/30/2009

Before the election there were a string of articles attempting to portray opponents of Barack Obama as racist. Liz Sidoti of the Associated Press decided to carry on that fine tradition after the election (link): Disproved and disputed claims about his religion and citizenship, namely untruths that Obama is a Muslim and isn't U.S.-born, zip across chatrooms and dominate the blogosphere. Fring...

kidthing: kids' letters to Obama strikingly similar to ones from adult MoveOn members - 2/16/2009

The Associated Press informs us (link) that the private company kidthing.com (background here) - in conjunction with the National Education Association - has compiled a free e-Book (to be released Monday) containing 150 letters from children to our leader Barack Obama: End war, forever. Make the planet greener. Please help my dad find work. Make it rain candy! ..."I hope that we will have no ...

BBC, Jason Kottke rave about Whitehouse robots.txt file, reach new low in fawning - 1/23/2009

Jason Kottke raved about the new Whitehouse dot gov robots.txt file a few days ago, completely going around the bend and establishing a new low for fawning (kottke.org/09/01/the-countrys-new-robotstxt-file). Despite how stupid that was, I didn't note it here due to the fact that Kottke isn't important. Now I see that the BBC has joined in.

Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, pals need to take a Civics class - 1/21/2009

All Hollywood and indeed the world have been waiting for my video reply to the recent Ashton Kutcher/Demi Moore opus in which they and their celebrity pals made various pledges, including to be Obama's "servant". Without further ado:

Obama will become less popular, and we need to be prepared - 1/20/2009

Barack Obama will probably never reach a George W Bush level of unpopularity, but at some point during his presidency his star will fade. And, that will be an absolutely terrific chance to discredit his current cult-like supporters. For example, let's say Obama (fulfilling Joe Biden's promise) decides to do something unpopular. His current supporters can then be confronted with their pas...

Pro-Obama celebrity videos get even creepier (Ashton Kutcher, etc.) - 1/19/2009

The guy from Dude, Where's My Car, Ashton Kutcher has gotten together with a large number of his celebrity pals to create an incredibly creepy 4 minute, 13 second video in which they make various pledges to Barack Obama, the U.S., and the world. You can see it here if you dare. On the plus side, it has Alyssa Milano and other assorted hitherto unheard-of-by-me eye candy. On the downside, Will...

Pete Seeger most open Communist at Barack Obama inaugural musical celebration - 1/18/2009

Zdravstvuite tovarishchi! Yesli by... oops! Izvinite, I begin again. If I had hammer and sickle and dollar for every note that Pete Seeger sung at today's inaugural celebration in honor of Barack Obama, I would have to give most of it back to state! Meanwhile, here picture of American music legend singing with Bruce Springsteen at event that happened today. Apologists note: The One, The On...

Obama's Organizing for America: a corps of supporters answerable only to him? Fight disasters and political enemies? (CNSF) - 1/17/2009

The Barack Obama movement is about to get even creepier, with his announcement of "Organizing for America" ("OFA"), part of "Barack Obama 2.0", the continuation of his campaign even after he's been elected president. From this: "As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead," Obama said in a video message e-ma...

Pepsi's "Dear Mr. President"/"Refresh Everything" campaign fizzles, goes flat - 1/17/2009

Whether because they're "liberals" or just because they think fans of Barack Obama are their demographic, Pepsi (PepsiCo) has started a new ad campaign called "Refresh Everything" in which celebrities and supposed regular citizens upload open video letters to Obama entitled "Dear Mr. President" (refresheverything.com). Apparently they looked at the fact that Obam...

Obama releases official portrait: first taken with digital camera. Obama fan reveals ignorance. - 1/14/2009

My well of sarcasm is about tapped out, so I'll just point out that Barack Obama's official portrait has been released, and it's the first to be taken with a digital camera: change.gov/page/-/officialportrait.jpg That's not really noteworthy in itself, but in case you want to continue to be amazed at just how ignorant Obama's fans are, the post by "SilentPatriot"...

Just how great is our Leader, Obama? He is great enough to write open letter to his daughters! - 1/14/2009

Friends! Our Leader, the great exalted One, the Barack Obama, has shown once again the munificence of his leadership of this, the great Nation, with a new Open Letter he has written to his daughters, the shining young exemplars for all American children, Malia and Sasha! The Leader has caused it to be printed in Parade Magazine and has asked the Huffington Post to promulgate his message of cheer t...

Bad art or good joke? CNN wants Obama "art" from viewers - 1/08/2009

CNN's iReport.com site is currently soliciting Obama art from their visitors. See "The Passion of the Obama?! 'CNN Newsroom' Showcases Obama Iconography" (link) for video featuring CNN anchor Tony Harris and producer Tyson Wheatley gushing over some of the submissions, including one depicting Barack Obama as Jesus Christ as depicted in the film "The Passion of the Chr...

Zogby poll shows how misinformed Obama's supporters are (and is yet another example of Obama's opponents making mistakes) - 11/19/2008

... including interviews with Barack Obama supporters showing how ignorant and/or misinformed they are. His site (link) also includes a Zogby poll he commissioned that tries to show the same thing. Unfortunately, some of the questions that are supposedly true either aren't true or are disputed. So, it's a two-fer. The poll shows not only how misinformed many Obama supporters are, but also p...

"Ashville N.C. School teacher browbeats student over being a McCain supporter" (I tried to warn everyone) - 11/06/2008

The video to the right is called "Ashville N.C. School teacher browbeats student over being a McCain supporter". Since I don't have sound here and can only slightly read Swedish I can't vouch for its contents, but it appears to be legit. Now, see October 26's Obama Youth: campaign targets children under 12 and ask yourself two questions: 1. Exactly how many more things l...

New from Obama cultists: the November 4 PROPHECY (Quincy Jones) - 10/23/2008

Some of you were probably asking, "Why hasn't Quincy Jones produced his own creepy video showing a cult-like devotion to Barack Obama's personality cult, complete with the contention that it's a 'prophecy' for him to be elected president?" Well, your prayers to The One have been answered! I rush to remind our "liberal" friends that this is not at a...

Dave Winer deletes comment, locks thread - 10/05/2008

Earlier today, Dave Winer of Scripting News offered "I'd like to have a word with Republicans" (scripting.com/stories/2008/10/05/idLikeToHaveAWordWithRepub.html). Clamping his hands down over his ears just as hard as he could, he said: Barack Obama is an honorable person. You may not agree with him, or like where he would take our country, that's your right of course, but he do...

Are you scared of Barack Obama's followers yet? (kids singing video) - 9/30/2008

Please compare these two videos of children singing to their leader. If you aren't scared of Barack Obama and his followers now, it might just change your mind [SEE THE UPDATES; 'SING FOR CHANGE' REMOVED THE ORIGINAL VIDEO]: Note that the second video was embedded at DailyKos, but none of the pages shown as linking to the video exist anymore. Apparently it's not yet ti...

Jacob Weisberg/Slate: only racism prevents Barack Obama from being elected - 8/23/2008

Jacob Weisberg of Slate offers If "Obama Loses/Racism is the only reason McCain might beat him" (link). I hopefully don't need to excerpt any of it to point out that it's not only wrong, it's also a roadmap for how the Democratic Party will operate for the next four years (or in perpetuity). Note that Weisburg isn't just some nobody; he's the "editor-in-chie...
