Oh…I can too! She didn’t like the truth I challenged her with.

It revealed to me in a brand new way her lacking tolerance for criticism.

Bullsh*t. She endorsed Romney by default and it is obvious to anyone who is not her sycophant. I gave proof….Months of coverage without a SINGLE negative post on Romney and several glowing posts on a single day.

I suppose that we’re only supposed to hold our candidates feet to the fire…not the bloggers holding our candidates’ feet to the fire.

I have great respect and admiration for Michelle. And you, Allah. But you have disappointed me and many others with your big-headed opinion of yourselves.

I’ve disagreed with leftists who have used the exact same “give me an example” tactics, Allah. By using those kind of tactics…and refusing…no…LYING about the results of my search, you show yourself no better than a leftist. That’s not good for credibility.

You should listen to some of your readers who disagree with you, Allah. Many times they are right on target.

Just to repeat it because you ignored it:

“”As expected, you’ve got no evidence for your claim that Michelle was in the tank for Romney.” – AP

Three months of blogging absent of criticism of Romney.
Numerous posts praising Romney during those months including one single day with THREE glowing posts.

That’s not evidence?

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that secularism and a lack of family values is running rampant through a society that puts off having children long enough to have the money to pay nannies to raise children. It’s like Cavuto’s insistence on running Victoria Secret crap and O’Reilly finding it necessary to show raunch so we understand what he’s talking about and AP finding it necessary to create headlines with the “c” word to draw headline hits.

Whatever it is, it’s sad.

If any of you Huckabee supporters can honestly say that there was anything about Huckabee besides his evangelicalism that made him your shining knight, I would like to hear it. On second thought, no I wouldn’t. I’m convinced that if Romney were evangelical and not Mormon, you’d all be passing the plate for Mitt.

Well, see, that’s one of the problems. I don’t blog with any “goal” in mind. I do it to entertain and inform when I can. Advocacy doesn’t really interest me.

Your doing good work here Allah, your making the world a better place, sincerely … and I don’t know why your so glum.

In 2003, when I cancelled my subscription to a major Pittsburgh paper after it had run an unflattering photo of Condi Rice, I told the gal in the circulation department that I found the editorial stance of the paper abhorrent. She replied, “Huh?” Her response had the depth of many of that rag’s news and editorials.

Weblogs influence other media so they do have more power than simply their numbers. After almost 15 years we still underestimate the power of the hyperlink.

Yet we shouldn’t overestimate weblogs’ power either. They have the ability to plant seeds, amplify their reach, and direct action. It’s likely they won’t ever have the same power as television did when there were three networks. That’s in the internet’s distributed DNA.

The simple fact for the GOP this round was there wasn’t a single candidate that was good enough to rally the base. Everyone had faults that prevented the base from grouping around him. Eventually money ran out for others leaving McCain as the last man standing.

For being so VERY dishonest about the best candidate in the race.

Huckabee’s a terrible candidate. He would have gotten destroyed in the general. And there was no dishonesty about him. You’re just mad that he flamed out.

As expected, you’ve got no evidence for your claim that Michelle was in the tank for Romney. Complimenting a candidate when he does something right isn’t proof of being in the tank. On the contrary, she specifically refused to endorse anyone, something that should have been easy for her if she was such a Romney shill.

I can understand why she banned you, though. Quit impugning her. She eats enough crap from the left elsewhere that I’m going to let it happen on our own site.

Eh? If there were penguins in the clip, they’re no longer there…

Seixon on May 6, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Damn you almost convinced me that I posted in the wrong thread. I started looking for Al Gore in here

So…you agree that Michelle, while holding feet to the fire…contributed to a McCain nomination.

Even Rush himself didnt back any candidate and that also contributed to a McCain victory. Many conservative blogs did back Fred and it didnt give him victory.

To blame one blog for McCain’s win flies in the face of all the evidence out there that too many republicans just felt it was McCain’s turn to have the nomination. Until we face the problem we have of only backing the highest ranking Republican in our nomination process there will be little change.

At the 45-second mark in this story about the disappearing ice at the top of the world, take a look at the critters they show on an ice floe

Eh? If there were penguins in the clip, they’re no longer there…

She did, however, complain about his emotional display once and suggested he “suck it up”. I guess that’s something.

I also found THREE complimentary posts about Romney on one single day in early February.

Is that good enough?

Oh…so you’re in no way disappointed with our glowing nominee, AP?

You’re damned RIGHT I’m disappointed. Mainly with pundits like you, Michelle, Rush, etc.

For being so VERY dishonest about the best candidate in the race.

Hark, the clarion cry of the disappointed Huckabee supporter,
Allahpundit on May 6, 2008 at 4:38 PM

Snorting over here… OMG you are killing me! HAHHAHAA!

Sorta like I called Michelle “sweetheart”?

Okay, I get it.

“Pick any week at random in her archives and link five or six pro-Romney posts”

Only five or six? Isn’t ONE sufficient considering NONE of her posts were critical of Romney?

Come on!

She banned me from commenting on her blog for even suggesting she was sold-out.

Because my aim was true…and it bit her in the arse.

Michelle’s influence was marginal at best…and that can be proven by her being completely sold-out for Romney,

Hark, the clarion cry of the disappointed Huckabee supporter, whose disgruntlement leads him into outright hallucinations.

Michelle was completely sold out for Romney on a daily basis, sport? Shouldn’t be hard to prove, then. Pick any week at random in her archives and link five or six pro-Romney posts of hers from that week right here. Show your work.

Michelle’s influence was marginal at best…and that can be proven by her being completely sold-out for Romney, showing it daily on her blog, and having Romney rejected by conservatives anyway.

Again this blog and others dont reach millions of people most people get their political info from a varity of sources. ”

W. Amos

So…you agree that Michelle, while holding feet to the fire…contributed to a McCain nomination.

They may not reach millions via any one particular blog, William, but you cannot deny that issues discussed in the blogosphere are what drive prime-time media-coverage quite often.

As Red Pill pointed out Allah, you swearing to God is like anyone else swearing to a dachshund.

upinak, you’re hardly ever wrong :)

Entelechy on May 6, 2008 at 3:55 PM

I just can’t spell, type or spell check LOL. At least I can laugh at myself. :)

And why I even made that first post because Im tired of my one vote having little meaning.

Goldwater created a movement that lead to Ronald Reagan. We need the movement more than another Ronald Reagan right now.

William Amos on May 6, 2008 at 3:26 PM

William and Entelchy,

Yes, the conservative movement needs to be spoken aloud, not become a closed book collecting dust on a corner shelf. The best of conservatism needs publicity because in fact it was often the REPUBLICAN PARTY that inacted laws for the social improvements that “socialism” bought loyalty for promoting. Social Progressives took credit when it was due the Republican Party, and in turn give credit or blame to the Republican Party for progressive’s own flaws. They suffer a weird identity crisis, blaming conservatives for everything negative that resulted from progressivism. A conservative must be willing to put the offender’s words right back in the offender’s mouth, applying to the one who spoke BEFORE applying to any other target.

Reference Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism that succinctly traces our Western world’s history since Bismark and how America and Europe came to the point where we are today, proving the veracity of conservatism and encouraging conservatives to become aware of our own strengths and our own integrity as a movement. Goldberg concludes that it is time for conservatives to draw the line. He doesn’t mention the Alamo, but as a Texan and descendent of Texicans, naturally the herosim of the Alamo essentially motivates our requirement NOW to draw the line INTELLIGENTLY to be effective, and as a group to be effective. It’s a great book, y’all.

As pointed out at HotAir, socialism bought into our capitalist system in order to bleed it dry with an infinite growth pattern of bureaucracy and programs. LBJ’s programs have yet to solve or improve the initial problems that were addressed, but in fact have created the worst scenario for poor families, requiring no work and no father at home for gov’t aid. The socialist agenda’s antidote is conservatism, not more socialism to infinity and beyond.

Conservatism does not need to BE Progressive, as that only corrupts whatever virtue remains. (Romney has MANY fine qualities. But for popularity, he promoted more statism –govt.as industry for employment in economically depressed areas– that would further defeat conservatism. So long as Romney were running the show, perhaps things would be great. But as soon as a true fascist took the reigns, Romney would have provided the means for our enslavement to big brother.) Without conservatism, there would be no antidote for the fascism that smiles benevolently as our children are coerced into indoctrination in order to make a living with a college degree, even with a high school degree. Our littlest children can not even play ball games at recess, nor monkey bars, only shuffle around the “play” ground and talk. They MUST believe Al Gore’s lack of science, or they will be persecuted by teachers and peers. Parents will lose children to the state that knows best how to rear them unless conservatism takes a stand to limit the arm of big brother (CPS).

Do not allow conservatism to be ignorantly dismissed by progressives as a stale vapor when actually it is the essence that will balance our sickening overtly overbearing socialist government that won’t even protect our borders. This Progressive government has created the situation wherein elected officials deny conservative citizens their voice, having defined your existence no longer relevant, and even to be undesirable.

Draw the line. Promote the conservative movement. Establish the platform and conservatives will ally.

Red Pill on May 6, 2008 at 4:07 PM

Red Pill, there’s hope for you yet. Your reputation got a little shine today. :)

Spanglemaker on May 6, 2008 at 4:06 PM

Rush may have the lead now, but look how much HotAir has grown in traffic in the last two years. It’s like any other “S-curve”…the “blogosphere” will overtake talk radio in the not-too-distant future…maybe by the 2012 election.

parody is so much more effective

True.

You deserved it 100%

True.

The good thing is that you could laugh at yourself, always a plus

Thanks.

Kevin Drum: This election proves that the blogosphere has no influence

Yup. Just radio. Between 12 & 3 EST.
