Obama supporters are Orcs!

I found this while reading through Thomas Sowell's backlog of complaints against Barack Obama, but Hilzoy found the company he's keeping more than amusing, and she says it better:

Obama's advance troops have already taken over our college campuses, have bound and gagged our conservative professors, have ravished our virgins, have pillaged our stores of wisdom, and have ensconced themselves in the thrones of power in deans', presidents' and department heads' offices.

Hey, I've read Xxxenophile. Orcs can be hot!

Godwin Alert: Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) speaks approvingly of Hitler

My reaction to this is less strong than that of Kos, but it comes down to the same thing: why did Westmoreland single out "Hitler" rather than, say, "German scientists in the 1920s?" I'm pretty sure ol' Adolph didn't know the first thing about fractional tower distillation. Why didn't she point out that the Germans were doing this because they were desperate after the demilitarization treaties after World War I for access to energy resources? Are we in the same desperate straits?

Quote of the day, from Bay Buchanan.

It's finally over: the mother of all primaries has done her job reducing the field to two. But in reality there is only one candidate. Barack Obama. In November he will win or he will lose.

John McCain is relevant only in so far as he is not Barack Obama. The Senator from Arizona is incapable of energizing his party, brings no new people to the polls, and has a personality that is best kept under wraps.

Wow, when someone at Human Events says stuff like that, you know McCain's in real trouble.

Hugh Hewitt's attack on Wright backfires

Hugh Hewitt has acquired dozens of newsletters and "pastor's pages" from Obama's former church and has been posting them to his blog over the past couple of days. His own readers are getting annoyed, both at the volume and the seeming lack of anything to talk about. The most controversial seems to be a request that members of the church get tested to see if he or she is type-compatible with a member of the church who needs a kidney. Oh no! Shout-outs to kids who made it to college, advice to the poorer members of the congegration on how to get help for the new Medicare drug program, and praise for a team that went down to New Orleans and built new houses. So radical!

"Stop it!" Hewitt's readers cry. "You're making Trinity look like a normal church!"
