canopfor on March 5, 2009 at 10:51 PM
No. Then I looked around and noticed that the rest of you were still crying about fred while we smart ones were still looking for the best viable candidate.
csdeven on March 5, 2009 at 10:49 PM
We still had the cheerleaders though, while you were yelling your own name in victory to the empty bleachers.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 10:52 PM
OMG…Allah responded to me! I think this is the 3rd time ever in my HotAir life! I dunno about his stance on atheists/agnostics. I found his last line of the CPAC speech rather stunning. He said something to the effect that once people close their doors it’s no one’s business.
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 10:53 PM
ignorance must be blissful for you, child
runner on March 5, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Anyone who listened to his speech on Saturday and didn’t come away inspired and uplifted probably doesn’t have a lot in common with the bulk of us, anyway.
I wish we had politicians who had half his ability to communicate the conservative message.
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Actually, both are pro-choice and she had to pick one of them due to the screwy system they got in Alaska. Lesser of two evils.
You think I’m gonna back off defending Sarah just because you placed that cheap shot on this what was a wonderful oddball thread for AP.
No, you had to hijack AP’s night to attack the Cuda.
I apologize AP from all of us here at Sarah’s Palace Guard for this most unfortunate incident.
Enjoy your JD or wine cooler or whatever.
Thanks.
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Mary Mapes, producer of the 60 Minutes, blamed Allahpundit, among others, for “working anonymously in what appeared to be huge numbers, in unison, to destroy the Bush-Guard story.
From Wiki! Allah is on Wiki.
You stud.
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Well Allah, the only way you would get mentioned beyond this site is because you are an oddball. It sure as shit wouldn’t be for your political analysis. You seem to think you are brilliant and Michelle seems to be fooled for now so I guess it is working for you.
echosyst on March 5, 2009 at 10:55 PM
I was seriously miscast as the Ugly in the first one, they had told me I would be the Good, so I should be the beauty in this one.
Tuco on March 5, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Based on? I’m surprised – I’ve not heard Rush rail against atheists. Not saying he wouldn’t, but I’ve not heard it.
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Wow, HotAir could really explode now in influence that Rush with his 20 million loyal follower gave it strong plug.
One caveat though; if Oddball keeps up with his RINO rants it could taper off again fairly soon.
Norwegian on March 5, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Terrific.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Same here. He never really gets into spirituality all that much.
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Those shittoheads stand at attention ready for their marching orders.
They’re like the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz….
AprilOrit on March 5, 2009 at 10:50 PM
You still don’t understand what a dittohead is.
Are you still bravely standing against Rush’s thuggery? Don’t tell me, you yelled at the radio during his show and used a cutout of his face to decorate your dartboard?
The Chinese guy who stood down a tank in Tiananmen Square had nothing on you in the courage department.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Why is that stunning? That’s good old fashioned conservatism. Well, at least before the perpetually offended took over.
Sammy316 on March 5, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Shouldn’t you be playing in traffic?
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 10:57 PM
The concept that ignorance is bliss is a self-contradiction, your’s not mine.
AprilOrit on March 5, 2009 at 10:58 PM
For someone who hates Rush and despises Ann Coulter, April never misses a thread about either. Very odd.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Me neither. I don’t think that’s it. He has railed against moderates and Beltway dinner party Republicans, though. My guess is he doesn’t think Allah has an appreciation for salt-of-the-earth types, like Governor Palin.
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Like I said, Rush. I was a supporter of yours until you went after Huckabee. You viciously and dishonestly attacked him for being too liberal. It really irritated me that he was being hammered by you and your friends in so-called conservative talk radio the way I have watched liberals hit Bush for the last few years. That was just too much… watching you go after one of your own like that. That is when you lost me. What a joke that was. I still maintain that Mike Huckabee is a conservative – more conservative than you and all these other zero’s in talk radio. Just because he doesn’t subscribe to the robber baron conservatism we’ve seen in the past doesn’t make him a liberal. You are not real conservatives. Everyday Americans living in medium to small towns who make this country what it is are real conservatives. And I think the latest Presidential election really proves the point. That is why I say it is essential we build a real conservative movemement. We need alternative media and alternative mass movements. These phonies need to be exposed because Americans know deep down that these elites do NOT have their best interests at heart. So that in future years we won’t ever be put in this situation again. America is finished if there isn’t a real conservative movement. If we don’t have a real conservative movement America is doomed!
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Laughable, considering you truly don’t know what ‘dittohead’ means.
fossten on March 5, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I should have worded that better. “Stunning” in the sense that it was so off-topic from the speech. Almost seemed like it was said as an afterthought. We all know it’s the liberals who are the nosy ones.
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I gave her (?) an opening to express specifically why she doesn’t like Rush…nothing yet.
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Hey, Allah, while you’re here…I want to change my name but keep my years of service. :-)
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 11:01 PM
He doesn’t read the comments.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:01 PM
maybe she picked the best judge regardless of that judge’s position on one issue
that’s what chief executives are supposed to do
funky chicken on March 5, 2009 at 11:01 PM
For someone who hates Rush and despises Ann Coulter, April never misses a thread about either. Very odd.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Ever seen the movie “28 Days Later”? April is one of the infected, standing in one place until a target comes into sight, then suddenly frothing into an violent rage.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 11:01 PM
The more I think about, it actually strikes me as kind of silly to think he would automatically not read any posts by you because of some atheist litmus test. Honestly (no offense) but I doubt he, like many believers, think about that that much. Smart political observations are smart political observations. Counter-example: I don’t hear him quoting Sully.
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Wow. I “attack(ed) her? Because I said it was sad and an odd system she has to deal with? I saw that the Alaska Family Council, a pro-life group, opposed her choice and wanted Smith. Even if I misunderstood where her other choice stood, the better choice according to the pro-life crowd, that doesn’t mean I’m attacking her.
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
You THOUGHT you had the cheerleaders. What you really had were buttboys in drag.
csdeven on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
But did you tell her that you were not fat
And that you wore a rakish hat?
That you carry several whips
With all the beautiful women at your fingertips
That you are nearly seven feet tall
And yet quite graceful……all in all
That you eat your breakfast in the nude
But that with her you would not be crude?
PercyB on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Did you move or did you change your chivalry?
NorthernGent or SouthernAss?
; P
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
And where, sweetheart, would we go to read or listen to your witty banter on a regular basis? URL? In print? Bathroom wall??
AubieJon on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
LOL! Allahpundit thinks he’s brilliant? Have you read this blog? AP is more self-deprecating than Conan O’Brien.
terryannonline on March 5, 2009 at 11:03 PM
As long as the whiny “loves to bitch” crowd keeps coming back, and back, and back to whine and bitch some more, HA traffic will be just skippy.
Sammy316 on March 5, 2009 at 11:03 PM
…despite the evidence… :)
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Oh, and I didn’t put a microsecond’s thought into whether you were “gonna back off defending Sarah” before I posted.
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Allah = pwned. We love you.
AbaddonsReign on March 5, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Yup.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Yeah, seriously. I’m retarded.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:05 PM
I would nevah leave the South!!! NEVAH! I want my HotAir name to match my MichelleMalkin.com name.
The liberals are coming! The liberals are coming! 1 if my land, 2 if by sea!
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Yuck.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:05 PM
I’m not so sure it’s a putdown Allah, I think it could go either way. “Oddball” is not necessarily derogatory you know.
Kronos on March 5, 2009 at 11:05 PM
You THOUGHT you had the cheerleaders. What you really had were buttboys in drag.
csdeven on March 5, 2009 at 11:02 PM
I have no idea what a “buttboy” is, so I doubt that was the case.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 11:05 PM
But of course! What is your MM name?
By the way, how often does she open up registration?
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 11:06 PM
I don’t know if you are really that interested but you could go to the vault and look at Saturday’s stuff. My read is that both Rush and Ann are too strident. I believe she is both young and new to conservatism, you don’t appreciate bravado until you’ve been kicked in the teeth for your beliefs a few times.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:06 PM
The other choice is a dem.
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Allah You need to get on his radio show and pimp hotair. I too thought of you when I heard that clip.
AES on March 5, 2009 at 11:08 PM
We got stuck with McCain. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he then lost to Obama. And you’re still going on about Fred. Who would have been roughly 5 times better than McCain, and 7 times better than who we’re stuck with.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 5, 2009 at 11:08 PM
I gave a huge hint eventhough I misspelled a word! I’m “Paul Revere” on MM.com
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Now I have homework for the weekend. It better be worth it.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:09 PM
I would welcome a difference of opinion here at HotAir (different from pure Conservatism) if it was delivered with more than sneering sarcasm.
When we challenge the sarcasm we are just told to go elsewhere. H’ok, fair enough, free enterprise and all, but I hoped for more.
Montana on March 5, 2009 at 11:09 PM
MM does that every time she’s on Fox. It doesn’t produce any extra traffic.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Mega-dittos Rush.
Congrats Ed. CPAC scoops and now a mention on Rush. Stupendous.
Ted Torgerson on March 5, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Umm. just for the record, I poked csdeven in a “hey you remember when…” sort of way. I hope we don’t start rehashing the Republican primary. After all, in a thread of Rush thanking Ed, we should all focus on AP. Right? So let’s keep it up. We love you, AP.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:10 PM
I doubt Allah will lose any sleep not getting mentioned (or oddballed) by Rush.
I like the diversity of opinion myself,just like Little Green Footballs,different beliefs but still Republicans.
I will take it.
Better than relying on morons like Micheal Moore,Bill Maher,and Andrew Sullivan for information.
Rush/Hannity are strong voices for the Republican party that apparently we can’t get up on the hill,so I will support them even though I can only listen to them in doses.
I prefer:
Mark Steyn,Tammy Bruce,Larry Elder,Mark Levin.
I may be wrong but I believe Steyn filled in for Rush a week or so ago and did a he!! of a job.
Rush,Hannity,and Beck should plug sights like this a lot more to combat the propaganda coming from liberals trying to distract and provide cover for the ” Obama Circus”
Baxter Greene on March 5, 2009 at 11:11 PM
I don’t deny that. But Senator Bob Casey is a Democrat and pro-life. He supported Bush’s Supreme Court nominees in part, if not mostly because of, the possibility they’d overturn Roe v. Wade.
Palin may have had to choose between two bad options. But again, that doesn’t make it any less sad or odd that she has to.
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:11 PM
LOL
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 11:11 PM
A daily Rush thread,might work!!!!!!!!
canopfor on March 5, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Now, that having been said, I have quite a bit of work starting very early tomorrow. Good night, all. Sleep well.
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Night.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:13 PM
See you all on the deck tomorrow as well,good night
to all Air Heads.:)
canopfor on March 5, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Now I have homework for the weekend. It better be worth it.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:09 PM
It’s a pretty good movie, though the sequel is so-so. Just think of April when you get a gist of the infected people in the movie.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Crap,that Hot Air Heads!Ugh!
canopfor on March 5, 2009 at 11:15 PM
The evidence is there. But, we are working on convincing folks like you anyways because you are worth it. From critic to supporter is the goal. Thank you.
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 11:15 PM
As I’ve said earlier, Michael Steele showed his moderate hand and should resign. We have enough Arlen Specter types in the GOP, they don’t need one at the top of the party.
Zorro on March 5, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Don’t worry Allah. Somehow I believe being on Rush’s naughty List is alot safer than being on Obahmbo’s Hit List.
portlandon on March 5, 2009 at 11:16 PM
SouthernGent on March 5, 2009 at 10:53 PM
‘once they close their doors it’s nobody’s business’
I just wish more social conservatives could adopt this libertarian-type attitude and approach.
For me this was the highlight of the speech and reveals a pathway that a conservative can take to reel in more moderate voters who may be fiscally conservative.
technopeasant on March 5, 2009 at 11:17 PM
It was my understanding that he was not pro-life. In fact, apparently he is very pro-environment to the extreme of being anti-business. I’m sure that was a big reason why she did not pick him.
I don’t know Casey’s voting record on life issues.
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Was that in his tax policies, or his use of fiscal policy to control people?
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Yeah. Because Rush’s listeners must be mind-numbed robots incapable of thinking for themselves.
No, wait. That would be, anyone who thinks Rush’s listeners are mind-numbed robots incapable of thinking for themselves has swallowed the media viewpoint uncritically rather than thinking for himself or herself, thereby establishing who is really the mind-numbed robot.
No wonder it’s a little hard to keep up.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 5, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Maybe you’re just the one who can generate those women who hate Rush.
katy on March 5, 2009 at 11:18 PM
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:18 PM
I HATE when I do that.
Nicely done.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:19 PM
It may not produce a noticeable difference but it can’t hurt.
I found blogs by listening to Hannity during the fake National Guard documents scandal and Hannity kept mentioning
“Drudge Report” and “Little Green Footballs”.
I searched them out,went to other links through the comments and “link” areas on the blog and was able to leave
the MSM behind.
Baxter Greene on March 5, 2009 at 11:20 PM
QOTD for Friday.
Seriously.
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 11:20 PM
We need to build an alternative media for conservatives because the so-called one we have now is a joke.
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 11:21 PM
He’s passed out on the sofa with a half-empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s between his legs and dreams of KP in his head.
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 11:22 PM
The only thing I can recall him ever saying to me is, “I had to go buy more beer.”
FloatingRock on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Hi Madison. I love you (Matthew 22:39).
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
I think Rush maybe has noticed the copious amount of atheism threads over the last couple of years. Heck. I’ll be honest. To me, and I speak for me only of course, the tone of the AllahP atheism threads in the beginning amounted to anti-Christian attacks, basically, on more than one occassion. I mean, Ed and AllahP are the only two bloggers we have here these days, and he commended Ed and noted ‘oddballs’. I dunno.
Maybe Rush noticed the head of steam building on the recent AllahP anti-Creation rants similar to those that have driven Charles Johnson over the edge and well on his way to one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest (and drove me to remove Little Green Footballs from my blog bookmarks. I’ll never visit LGF again at this point. There’s nothing there that interests me anymore), and attracted all the ultra-hate filled LGF members he has now. Maybe that’s where the ‘oddballs’ remark came from?
I’m just guessing. But if that’s the case, I can’t argue with Rush.
Rush is Right!
Good job Ed and Michelle!
SilverStar830 on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
I think there are more who think that way then you know, they are obviously just less vocal. I am a believer but I am not an evangelical, it is something I would never be comfortable with. Obviously hard core folks are going to be the loudest and that bleeds over on your perception of other social/fiscal conservatives.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
She looked at the big picture instead of just taking one pro-life organization’s direction in making the appointment.
That’s a big plus in her favor, and I don’t think anybody is gonna say Gov. Palin’s pro-life beliefs and behavior are in question.
funky chicken on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
We have Techno.
I know NO socons who are for kicking down the doors of someone’s residence to arrest them for buggery.
The problem is that liberals are taking all the indoors stuff and shoving it in our face in just about any form of media and calling us fascists because we don’t serve up our children to gay boy scoutmasters.
I agree wholeheartedly: What happens in your personal Vegas stays in Vegas. If it comes out, its now all our problem. The aggressiveness of the social left is pretty scary. Of course, I’m from the SF Bay Area so I’ve had to put up with the madness.
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Allah Oddball,
…kind of a ring to it, yes? No. Yeah, you’re right. Anyway, I love Michelle, Ed, and Allah, and Brian, for that matter.
Great work.
Dave.
deebinto on March 5, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Your Welcome Rush, you are most welcome.
As I said from a previous post:
What I only care about now is if his message is getting through to these employees my taxes pay for.
It’s time to hammer home why the Obama policies will not work.
Kini on March 5, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Only thing he ever said to me was “No, man…I would totally kick Ed’s ass…you wanna bet???”
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Allah, Yes, There are about the same number of people tuned into both of these. I stand corrected.
AES on March 5, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Awww. Come here and let me snog ya.
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 11:25 PM
That was my understanding too. She is a constructionist, and wants to keep to the constitution.
Hey, gotta sleep.
Allah,
Congrats on the plug from Limbaugh. Get some rest. You earned it.
G’nite.
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 11:26 PM
OT. Folks, we are so freaking screwed.
Nothing like taking care of debt with debt. Hey here’s an idea just take all our money. That way there is nothing left to insure.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Your snark and your sense of humor have always been entertaining, Allah, even in the long ago days before HotAir. I’m sure Rush knows you’re one of the good guys, just not a down-the-line conservative.
inmypajamas on March 5, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Thank you. I try to be kind and nice to them.
apacalyps on March 5, 2009 at 11:27 PM
I heard the “oddball” comment on Rush today when talking about HotAir and how he liked Ed and said that is Allahpundit he is talking about!!
Congrats AP you are famous for being the David Frum conservative!
Made my day for Rush to confirm what I thought about AP.
Conan on March 5, 2009 at 11:28 PM
Remember, AP, you never go full retard…
richardj on March 5, 2009 at 11:28 PM
I find him to be another bloviating – vituperating gasbag full of himself, starved for attention.
I don’t have to like him just because the collective does.
He’s just another The One as far as I’m concerned.
AprilOrit on March 5, 2009 at 11:28 PM
Here’s to hoping someday it’s the other way around.
exception on March 5, 2009 at 11:29 PM
The only thing he ever said to me was “Katy Knock it off”
after I made reference to Peggy Noonan and possible menopause issues. ;)
katy on March 5, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Haha Then he would believe in God.
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 11:30 PM
