Rick Santorum and Pat Buchanan aren’t the only right-wing wack-jobs that really, really hate John McCain….

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
GOP has lost the election, even if McCain wins. He’s certainly no conservative. Opposition to letting The Producers keep THEIR FUCKING MONEY, amnesty, letting dems pack the courts with activist judges, global warming, gitmo, acting like he thought of the surge, or just generally being an asshole… he’s unfit for the office.
If he’s the nominee, I’m not going to vote for Preznit. Instead, I’ll focus my efforts on re-electing Rossi for the FOURTH fucking time.
Hey Goldy – Howzit feel getting bitch slapped by the invisible hand?
LMAO you fucking loser…
I listened to your last show for a while. The “wonk” thing cracked me up. So you fancy yerself an intellectual huh? That was the funniest shit I’ve heard in a long time.
You’re just another fucking loser moonbat. How fucking long is it gonna take for you to figure out that you’re going to have to get a real job that creates value. Tell me, do you have any marketable skills?
Mark the Thieving Redneck @ 1,
Pay your gambling debt, ya fucking loser.
Wow, Coulter said what they’re doing at Guantanamo is torture, not interrogation. I’m both surprised and impressed.
Now that Goldy’s broke, maybe I should make the offer I did a few years ago to put some money in his daughter’s lunch account at school.
No reason for a kid to go hungry just cause her dad is an idiot and a loser. Kinda sad really….
She is right, and I said it here yesterday. The D’s and R’s are an inch apart.
Mark – I guess if you want to define ‘conservative’ as Big Government, big spending, anti-privacy, dimplomaticly inept, pro-torture and willing throwing basic civil liberties out the window at the first sign of an outside threat, then yes, McCain is not a conservative.
But if you are one of the few remaining traditional small government conservatives, then you are smart enough to know the Republican party walked away from basic ‘conservative’ principals the minute they elected the current bunch of Republican cowards.
Not that I think the Repubs have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the Presidency this year, but McCain really isn’t such a bad choice for the party that idolizes Reagan. McCain and Reagan agree on immigration (remember the 1986 amnesty bill), national defense, and cutting domestic spending, along with the social issues like abortion. You’d think that would be close enough for conservatives. They disagree on tax cutting though; Reagan was OK with running a deficit with lower tax rates and McCain is not. I guess that is the death knell for McCain.
Yawn.
TSWITW will get the dem nom. The machine is too powerful.
But here’s the dream ticket: McCain/Obama. They agree on almost everything, and Obama would get a chance to study under an adult to get some actual experience that he so sorely lacks now.
@7
Well said.
Greg Nickels endorses Obama this morning. You would think the Obama people would have asked him to delay that announcement until after the Democratic caucases here in WA. That has be like tying a 400 lb anvil to your leg.
Darryl, it is entertaining to watch the words actually coming from their mouths (do they really think before they say these things?).
But my current computer has a bad sound card, so I can’t hear the audio, until I get it replaced. In the future, for my benefit and for the benefit of those who don’t want to disturb others around us with noise from our computers, could you please type up at least a short quote of the relevent comments from the video?
I don’t like any of the Republican nominees, but I am absolutely astounded at the amount of hatred the far right has for McCain – especially since they complain that he is “too liberal”. Given the fact that less than 1/3 of the voters now are willing to identify themselves as being Republican, and it appears that a majority of them are seeing McCain as the lesser of several evils, that means that just goes to show how far to the extreme radical right the party establishment and their media cheerleaders have drifted.
Of course, maybe they are just (still) ticked off at him for the McCaine-Finegold finance reform bill. Rove previously was quoted as saying that it amounted to “treason”, “eviscorating” the fundraising advantage held by the Republican Party. I guess they recognize that the only way they can win an election is to buy one.
That’s the greatest damage Coulter could do to Clinton.
Believing (wrongly, imho) that McCain could defeat Obama more easily than he could defeat Clinton, she’s hoping for the Obama nomination.

You’ve got to be kidding! Transcribing audio from a real-time conversation may be easy for some people, but for me it is extremely time consuming.
Consider purchasing a USB sound card for $0.99 here.

Hey PuddySilly,
Coulter joins the “testicle lock box” crowd of which you’re so paranoid!
LMAO at your silliness!
I prefer to ignore both Hillary and Mann Coulter. I wish that they would go away.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said a hundred times and Andy Coulter just confirmed it: We have witnessed the death of the modern day conservative movement that was born in 1964. The party is DEAD!
For all of you interested in attending the funeral for the late conservative movement it will be held on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008..
MTR you’re still a coward, a liar and a loser.
$500,000 in vagimony. Baaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa
I think it’s very interesting to listen and watch the Republican pundits and talk show hosts spinning in favor of Clinton (such as Pat Buchanon on msnbc last night and Coulter on this thread). It seems obvious (to me at least) that they realize the only hope they have of winning in November is if Hillary Clinton wins the nomination. She is the only figure that can energize and unite the Republican base and they already have a campaign strategy in place to run against her. An Obama nomination would be a total disaster for the GOP and they know it.
So now according to Reuters, the bankrupt banks are trying to bail out the bankrupt bond insurers because they’ve put a pile of your money and mine into bonds backed by mortgage obligations of nearly bankrupt home-“owners” whose houses are depreciating by thousands of dollars a day.
Simultaneously, the gubmint admits that employment is dropping, but the Dow rises anyway because the Wall St. shysters are so desperate that they’ll seize at even the slightest ray of hope.
Apparently that was provided by the news that Microsoft, in its frenzy to outdo Google at something or other, offered to buy out near-bankrupt Yahoo.

See you conservative fucks; getting in lockstep with whatever Lush Limpdick, Shawna Insannity, and FAUX News told you caused your Grand Old Party to self implode.
It wasn’t the “liberal media” that caused it, it was a mechanism that is inheirient to all humanbeings. Self-preservation and the public as finally become aware that they were wrong to follow conservative principles that flew in the face of the principles of our founding fathers.
This country was founded on liberal ideals, this country moves forward by leaps and bounds on liberal ideals, and liberal ideals will always, without exception, win the arguement at the end of the day.
Only communist and terrorist disagree with our founding fathers.
The last words on yesterday’s KVI Kirby show, and among the first words on Rush, were: Keating Five.
The Jayson Blair Times gives McCain a kiss now, but they won’t respect him in the morning after the convention. That’s when the Times (NY) and the Times (LA) and the Times (Seattle) and its evil twin, the Pee-Eye, will cheerfully crucify McCain upside down, and next to Charles Keating. The rancid Hillary will be made to look and smell, in comparison, like the pristine little Goldwater princess she used to be.
Speaking of the P(ravda)-I(svestiia): A couple weeks ago Joel Connelly was on Goldstein’s ridiculous show, recycling a ridiculous joke about Limbaugh and the Hindenberg, with Limbaugh as a bloated Nazi gasbag. Well … check out today’s Dub Daily, page 6, the photo of Joel Connelly. He’s what gives the words ‘fat’ and ‘fathead’ and ‘gasbag’ a bad name. But is he a Nazi? Ask Jonah Goldberg.
More from the Dub Daily, front page right: it’s the Year of the Rat. Front page center: Ron Paul on Campus. Sic semper rodentia.
Seems to me that HA needs a uniter, not a divider. Ron Paul’s it: We all despise him.
What we conservatives are trying to conserve, 27, are the Bill of Rights and civil rights, properly and respectfully construed.
Rush led us over a cliff between 1994 and 2008, and our injuries may be fatal. But about the bent MSM, bent and twisted to the left and to the far left, Rush was and is right-on right.
Fox tries arduously to separate news reporting from opinion mongering. The MSM, from the mighty Jayson Blair Times down to the lowly Goldstein, mangle news and opinion in one big ugly smelly promiscuous incestuous mess of media and message.
The only thing modern-day “conservatives” want to conserve is other peoples’ money, once they get hold of it.
“Conservative principles????????” Conservatives don’t have any. That’s an automatic oxymoron. Especially appropriate since one of their leading gasbags…er, spokesmen is a moron who abuses oxycontin!

BS @ 29: “respectfully construed” is about the best summary I’ve heard of what the GOP has done to basic American values, foreign policy and it’s own, once respectible, “conservative” principals.
They have “respectfully construed” American values to the point they are no longer recognizable as American.
@19 Piper
I’ve met and known all our mayors from Wes Uhlman to the present, some have been better than others. Can’t say any have been outstanding, it is a tough job, but this guy takes the cake. Not only is he a lousy mayor, he is a bully, duplicitous and generally unlikeable. Making some mistakes is one thing, who hasn’t, but the unbridled arrogance is over the top. He reminds me of a bad caricature of a tin-horn Latin American dictator, sort of a poor man’s Alfredo Stroessner. So yes I am not a fan of Mayor Quarters. I used to call him El Caudillo, but decided that was gratuitiously insulting towards General Franco.

ArtFart @ 24:
Bad news for the American worker is generally good news for corporate America.
Lower wages means more workers in the availability pool. A larger pool of workers means the supply side will outstrip the demand and usually people are willing to work for less money to get a job.
Lower wages means greater profits for corporations. If you’re trading equities, then the value of the company goes up and that is reflected on Wall Street.
Sucks I know, but it is one of the realities of the market.
On the flip side, however, as proven by President Clinton, when governmental economic policies are at their peak in efficiencies, not only do workers make more money, so too do corporations. When workers and corporations are making lots of money, people and corporations are spending lots of money and the cycle continues for a period of time and then pulls back a bit. As we saw in late 2000. This is normal and healthy.
We also saw what happens when the economic policies of the 90’s under President Clinton are reversed, as was the case of Bush and the Republican held congress. It was a disaster for the American worker, but good for profits of multinational conglomerates and the privileged few.
So set me straight, 31. What are the American values that we’ve respectfully construed beyond recognition? (Please begin your response with a respectful discussion of the Second Amendment, my favorite from the first ten.)
Respectfully yours,
34 – Where have you been you worthless pile of shit? I miss kicking the dog piss out of your limp wristed faggot loving ass.
BS @ 29:
I’ll have to call BS on your Bill of Rights issue.
Can you say “Warrantless Wiring Taping???”
Give me a break! If you knew what was actually in the Constitution, and more importantly, understood it, you’d be vehemnetly opposed to the Republcian party right now.
You’d also know that social liberals prevailed in the arguements in the formation of our nation.
Think about it; in 2008 conservatives are not willing to give homosexuals equal rights, like the right to marriage.
In the 50’s conservatives didn’t want to give blacks the right to vote. Google “Republican Southern Strategy”. Then, Google, “Ken Mehlman RNC apology Republican Southern Strategy”. (You don’t have to use the ” ” marks.) See whatcha get.
The point is; conservatives would never have decreed that “all men are created equal” they never would have given freedom of speech, religion. They never would have excluded God from the Constituion the way muslims include it in their governmental doctrine.
Thomas Jefferson didn’t win his arguement to expressly outlaw slavery in the Constituion because conservatives from the south wouldn’t have it.
Thomas Jefferson; an original Democrat. Any GOP’ers sign the Constitution? NO.
Sorry, but your failed arguement doesn’t hold water and it doesn’t hold truth.
NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ 36:
I had to leave for a long while. Child molesters like you bore me after a while with you lame, dishonest and uninformed blather.
What have you been up to besides masturbating to your Sean Hannity poster and pissing your bed sheets down in your mother’s basement?
34 True, corporations are able to profit in either climate, and probably do better in a society where workers are empowered, at least in the long run. At present, however, our “leadership” is dominated by the likes of the Bush Crime Family and the robotic spawn of the likes of Liberty University, who’ve been raised with a deeply-rooted detest for the “lower classes”. So, these folks are motivated not only by the desire to become ever wealthier, but because they truly get their rocks off knowing that what they do makes hordes of ordinary people suffer.
AF @ 39:
Wouldn’t disagree with your sentiment.
You might find it interesting, as would all the Ayn Rand followers, to learn that at the founding of our nation and up to the late 1800’s corporations could only exisit for 20-40 years, depending on the state of incorporation.
MTR and the rest of the uninformed neocon’s who know nothing of our founding principles who quite frankly not embrace our founding fathers if they realized how diametrically opposed they are.
CDL @ 35: The first and most obvious value is, for the first time in our nation’s history, the executive branch is openly embracing torture of captured enemies as a standard method of “protecting us”. Funny that we were able to defeat Nazi Germany, the Japanese Empire and a totalitarian SovietUnion, but for some reason, we need to toss out over 200 years of higher moral standing because we were attacked by what I consider a bunch of radical middle-eastern hippies.
Another good example would be what used to be a *very* basic conservative principal of not intervening with military force unless all other options had been exhausted. And then, if you did need to use force, it would be absolutely overwhelming and the plan would include an very clear exit strategy. That basic principal is completely out the window with Bush and his cronies.
And if you want to talk about our Bill of Rights, why do you seem to obsess with the 2nd Amendment and ignore the rest? I too believe we should maintain our right to bear arms, but I also care about the 1st Amendment and how Bush now gives out taxpayer money to religios organizations. I also care about the fourth amendment and making sure our government doesn’t have the totally unchecked powers to spy on American citizens without any judicial oversight. I care about the sixth amendment and making sure EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN, however obvious thier guilt might appear, is given a fair trial and legal representation. Again, this President has grabbed power to the point that he alone can decide someone is a threat, have them arrested, thrown in jail and never given a chance to face his accuser… or worse yet, shipped off to a foriegn nation for “enhanced interrogation techniques”. I am sure, though, you would be fully supportive of the President grabbing this much power if it was Hillary Clinton, right? And so many right-wing idiots are too clueless to recognize that BUSH is going to be handing these same powers to a Democratic President soon. Think our new President will give them up?
So that’s just a few basic American values that have been “respectfully construed”, and I haven’t even started in on what used to be very reasonable conservative principals.
41 I rather get the impression that anyone who’s obsessed with the right to own a firearm is someone who can’t win an argument any other way than shooting their opponent.
40 I don’t know that this makes a whole lot of difference. Very few business actually last that long under the same articles of incorporation–they end up getting bought out, or get run into the ground (with someone profiting greatly in the process) and are then reborn from their own ashes. Most corporate “leaders” never think beyond the end of the quarter, except for a few lauded “visionaries” who look toward the end of the business year.
42: And it’s not like I can’t walk into about 20 different gun stores within 10 miles, or one of the many monthly “gun shows” around the area, and stock up on as many handguns, rifles, shotguns and assault weapons as I like… along with my very own equipment for producing ammunition. I honestly do not see where the threat to this right is coming from, but I recognize the paranoia… every time I have dinner with my own dad.
Maybe the wingers will finally realize she’s nuts.

Good to see you back. I’m sure you will be unsurprised to find that our favorite trolls here have not changed a bit. They, like all addicts, are in denial about the fate that awaits them and, indeed, seem to be drinking even more excessively from the tank of rightwing paranoia as they catch wind of the involuntary rehab that is coming their way. Though they are defenseless, child’s play in fact, bashing them remains enjoyable. Go ahead and kick them while they are down and don’t feel guilty about the pleasure you get out of it.
RR at 65: Dang, you beat me to it. I seem to recall the Virginia legislature made a big deal out of Royal Gov. Dunsmire (sp?) trying to seize the armory of the state militia in the Spring of 1775, which was … locked up? And although the Minuteman may have had their own flintlock muskets, I’ve yet to here of a single one owning their own cannon.
Besides, didn’t Bush say, just a few months ago, that times had changed, and the Constitution was “just a sheet of paper”, and changing times required diffeent measures? Of course, he was referring to wiretapping, but let’s at least be consistent in our application if we are going to apply “liberal construction” principles to the Constitution.
As for me, I don’t have any problem with owning firearms. I learned to shoot when I was in grade school, and even did rather well in some shooting competitions, thank you. Even was on the marksmanship team in high school, using an M-14. (Yes, it does kind of seems funny to say that now, doesn’t it?).
But who in the world needs automatic weapons for hunting? If you do, you must be a really, really, lousy shot. You should stay out of the woods until you take some marksmanship classes, otherwise you are more of a danger to other hunters than you are to the game.
@61 With Redneck, nothing works, so why not?
@64 Actually, I prefer to be shot at with automatic weapons, because they never hit anything. After the first 3 rounds the fire goes every direction except where you originally point it. A real hunter (and a real soldier) squeezes off one well-aimed shot. The guys who spray … well, they learned everything they know about guns from reading G.I. Joe comic books.
@62 2nd Amendment D
All Coulter said was that she was taking her balls and going home.
I must concur with RR @ 66. I average 4 shots per year with the 30-06. 3 to check the sighting on the scope and 1 to put a deer into my freezer. I get nervous with those that take sound shots.
@66…RR…
That’s why when hunting varmints like you, a small-calibre birdshot round makes sense. It’s tricky to get some of the pellets out of you, but not an insurmountable task; what’s a little stainless steel among friends, eh what?
