True dat!

Matthew Vadum is a race baiter and a bigot. I've never seen him contribute anything resembling a cogent, well-reasoned political argument to this site.

What a jackass.

Dear Liberal Reader,
Why would you waste your precious time reading anything on this site or any other sensible site when you could be spending it actually doing something useful like killing cockroaches?

Missy| 9.17.09 @ 2:11PM

Why waste time on cockroaches when there are so many underage girls out there for LibReader to pimp?

Who is the REAL racist?

Conservative Bob| 9.17.09 @ 2:30PM

Lib,
Is everyone who's views you disagree with a racist. What exactly has Vadum written that is racist or race bating. It would be nice to see some specific reference rather than just throwing around wild baseless charges.
Or are you like Jimma from Plains unable to construct a credible argument in defense of your ideas so you just seek to cut off discussion by rolling the racism grenade into the conversation?

Last time I checked, Wade Rathke was... um... white. But in Lib-land everything boils down to rascism... or "climate change"

Conservative Bob --

Is everyone who disagrees with me racist? What kind of question is that?

Of course not.

Someone who spends his time engaging in dog-whistle race baiting by no means represents everyone who would criticize my politics and opinions.

Vadum's politics are actually rather nebulous. He spends most of his time attacking Obama as a "fascist" and as a "racist." This is palpably absurd and has nothing to do with advocating a conservative politics.

On the right we hear constantly that EVERY criticism of Obama is being accused of racism. That's just ridiculous, and I think it's a complaint made in considerable bad faith.

No one suggests that ALL criticism of Obama, or Democrats, or the Liberal Reader is racist.

It's time to STOP collapsing a certain angry, populist fringe on the right into conservatism proper. Such a blurring of categories is not fair.

The proper term for the Birther-Tea Bagger axis of hatred for Obama ought to assume its proper title: White Nationalism.

Pathetic. After all this time, you still double post.

You calling Vadum a "Teabagger?" You are an obscene tool.

Conservative Bob| 9.17.09 @ 4:40PM

I'll take that as a yes.

Angel| 9.17.09 @ 5:15PM

LibReader's "White Nationalism" charge dovetails nicely with Pelosi's phony tears and warnings of Rightist political violence and Carter's bogus charges of racism. DNC talking points.

The Left knows it has lost the national debate and has no recourse but to scream "Violence and Racism." The hatemongers are on the Left, as always.

Obama's favorables are below 50% and dropping, and ObamaCare is dead: Eight months in, Obama is already a failed president.

Matthew Vadum| 9.17.09 @ 9:50PM

When have I ever attacked President Obama as a "racist"?

Don't take out your anxieties on little ole me over the fact that I contributed in some small way to the ongoing collapse of ACORN.

Liberal Reader is vewy very angwy.

L. Ross| 9.18.09 @ 10:52AM

You know, I used to think that Liberal Reader could string together a coherent thought. Lately, (corresponding to the declining poll numbers of the annointed one) he has become much nuttier. I think he needs counseling.

Daisy| 9.17.09 @ 10:15PM

Ha ha ha! Last laughs are sweet!

Marxist Reader,

I think some of your lefty friends are hoping that something does happen to B.O.

Today, Chris Matth-spews, was trying to (lamely) argue that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Jack Kennedy because of all the right-wing "hate" attacks against the president in Dallas.

To which I said, "What?"

How can people, who attack the president as a "commie appeaser", cause a guy to shoot this same president, who he thinks is being too hard on communists?

You're a "liberal". Care to explain Matthews twisted logic?

If anything, God forbid, were to happen to the president, the liberal, state-run media want the blame put squarely on conservatives.
