Sometimes the wingers exceed even my high expectations.
From Breitbart’s latest creation Big Peace. I like that it’s listed as featuring Frank Gaffney and Blackfive. Sounds like a hip-hop video.

Um, I think the link might be wrong!

Yes, I do believe your link is wrong :-)

Maybe Doug just thinks you guys need help with math. You ever think of that?

Thanks, I fixed it.

I assume they played ‘This Land is Your Land’.
If I’d been there, I would have been hoping for ‘La Marsaille’.

That guy is really focused on what gets Obama applause.
I think he has the clap.

I actually feel sorry for him… his mind must be a scary, terrible place to dwell…. mental illness isn’t for the faint of heart.

Do the British freak out when we play our National Anthem in front of them?

I read the comments. These people are just crazy and live in a horrible world in their own minds.

Was the song This Land Is Your Land? It’s a damn fine tune. I ain’t a gonna click on no wingnut site.

OT, but suicide bombing attack at Moscow Airport: 35 dead and over 100 injured

Damn, these people are really reaching here. Is there anything that Obama could do that wouldn’t have them all freaking out about how he’s going to make this some kind of nazi communist dystopian hellscape and make us all convert to sharia atheism? What would they say if Obama pesronally cured cancer? I’d give anything to hear what they’d come up with. if he did that.

According to Wikipedia, the song was originally called “My Motherland” by the composer. The title was changed when it was picked up for the 1955 movie in which it was featured. Here are the horrible, subversive lyrics of the first verse:
This is a great river, its waves are wide and calm
The wind blows through the rice flowers, bearing fragrance to either shore
My home is right there by the water
I am used to hearing the punters’ whistle
and seeing the white sails on the boats
It pretty much goes on that way until the end.

That has to be the most awkward author photo evah. He looks like someone is pinching his scrotum.
TooManyJens
What does he think he’s doing, running a website called Big Peace? Guys like that don’t believe in peace. It doesn’t let them show off how much manlier they are than everyone else by calling for cooler weapons tech and more dead people.
Mike in NC
Fixed. I saw the moron Jim Hoft on some cable program. Looks like the imbecile son that Gary Busey wished he had aborted.

@Loneoak:
I bet he wishes somebody were pinching his scrotum. But I wouldn’t pinch it for him if he paid me, even if I were gay. And I also bet I’m not the only one who feels that way.

Did you check out the Big Peace banner art? Marines holding weapons, eagles, flag .. it’s like the Colbert Show for jingoism but ya know that was supposed to be PARODY.
Hilarious.
Waiting for the winter banner art that features a slice of apple pie and a baseball.

More troops lost this year to suicide than in combat, and we have to listen to these fuckheads spout off about this kind of shit.

Can’t link because I’m on my phone but Fallows had a long post about this and actually it is the opposite of what this odiot is saying. The nationalist Chinese were upset by the song he played which goes back to the Korea-China war or something like that. What fucking idiots.

@TR: That made me laugh and laugh.

John, you were on the other side during the 80’s, but I can remember that there was a campaign by local John Birchers(I don’t know if it was a national campaign) to end the tradition of playing the 1812 Overture on Independence Day because Tchaikovsky was a Commie Russian.
I have also proposed that if science could prove if a child were to become a liberal grown up wingnuts would approve of abortion on a case by case basis.

@TooManyJens:
it’s the BIG peace. it’s the peace you get when everyone is afraid of you. it’s the peace Big Daddy conservatives crave at home and abroad: peace by fear. respect is for sissies.

Here is the post by Fallows. It’s toward the end after the long email about Jazz in China. Wish I could excerpt the relevant part but just linking is weird on the phone. Hope it works.

This is Hoft, the same dolt that said Michelle Obama is killing pedestrians and the endless stream of babble fed to the right wing. I’m not sure if its him alone coming up with this garbage to keep the wingnuts all in a tizzy or if he’s got a group of people behind him to throw out these stupid stories day in and day out with just enough truth in them for the idiots on the right to latch onto and defend as if it’s truthful.

@Valdivia:
I don’t know if this is a typo, but I’m totally stealing it as shorthand for “odious idiot.”

These guys are consistently, thuggishly stupid with their smear of Obama.
But here’s the thing. If the US is supposed to be anti-Commie, why is China a trading partner? Shouldn’t Republicans and their corporate masters all be indicted for treason?

Lang Lang is amazing. He could cut Breitbart with a spoon while playing Flight of the Bumblebee on his iPad.
Depressingly, the first link at the Googles for Lang Lang is this one by CBS, complete with a Cavuto mark.
TBogg covers this scandal appropriately.

@General Stuck:
That can’t possibly be true because Oscar Leroy promised me that Obama was going to kill Social Security in the SOTU on Tuesday. It must be some kind of 11D head-fake so Obama can circle around and make his surprise announcement that won’t be a surprise to Oscar because he totally knows more than all of us stupid Obots.

Resignation, followed by hari kiri.
They would still complain he did the hari kiri wrong, but they would not freak out.

I’m sure “wolves” means Americans and this bit about the hunting gun seems pretty hostile. We Americans hate guns and all kinds of violence. Oh, wait…
Also, too, only Real Americans can be patriotic and love their country.

That “Gateway [to glue-sniffing] Pundit” seems to be a rising star in the righty blogosphere is, I guess, a good sign: they really are reaching the bottom of the barrel.

So, I haven’t seen any clips from the State Dinner, but judging from the reactions, I’m pretty sure the scene went something like this:

@Otto, Graf von Pfmidtnöchtler-Pízsmőgy: that he was ruining American healthcare, bankrupting Social Security, and throwing sweet little oncologists out of work?
kth
@mikefromArlington: Don’t forget, Hoft also “broke” the “story” about the Tucson memorial Jumbotron’s closed-captioning indicating that people were applauding when they were applauding.

I clearly don’t understand how to use the internet. My link was stripped in the posting (probably through my error), but here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDN6K3JF1zc it is again, (hopefully)…
(If I fail again, it’s the singing of “the Internationale” in Chinese, from a scene in the movie “August 1st” about the origins of the PLA)

Now, now, remember consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. You and I might feel that the corporate amalgam that is the People’s Republic of Walmart is somehow associated with the Commie Pinko, Extreme Leftist, Godless People’s Republic of China. But that would be Wrong!

They would claim that he did it as part of an insidious Kenyan, Islamic soⅽⅰaⅼⅰst plot to put thousands of hard working American doctors and nurses out of work. These are the kind of people who 50 years ago would have been claiming that Jonas Salk invented the polio vaccine as part of an insidious Jewish plot to destroy the American iron lung industry.

@Brachiator:
And everyone at Fox, since they work for Rupert Murdoch, and Rupert Murdoch is married to a pro-vegan, Chinese communist. While they’re at it they should do something about Bill Kristol, since his dad, Irving, was a commie, and David Horowitz, whose parents were commies, who was a commie himself and palled around with the Black Panthers.

@TooManyJens:
It’s actually even stupider than you think. Breitbart is using “Big” in the sense of “a conspiracy of powerful interests” – like “Big Tobacco” – although since he’s a wingnut, the conspiracies must all be liberal. His other sites are all named like that: “Big Hollywood” is about how liberals control Hollywood, “Big Journalism” is about the liberal media conspiracy in Breitbart’s imagination, and “Big Government” is self-explanatory. So “Big Peace” is about how anti-war efforts and pretty much any internationalist or humanitarian activity of any kind are really a liberal establishment conspiracy.

I’m not going to click the link, but would that song be “This Land is Your Land” by Woody Guthrie? If so, it’s a great song.

Wow, the Chinese premiere visits and they play a Chinese song. Who coulda thunk it?

What it reminded me of was…In the movie ‘Airplane’, the scene where Stryker is recovering in a military hospital. He’s working on a painting-a bizarre image of a marine running from an exploding jeep while carrying a baby. Oh, and his one leg is looped over his neck.
Makes as much sense as ‘Big Peace’s banner.

I can’t wait for the White House’s St. Patrick’s Day party. Pretty much every other Irish ditty is an assault on the feelings of our bestest allies, the British, with whom we have a Special Relationship.
