Among the many bizarre and inexplicable things Joe Biden said in last night’s debate, I nominate his brief history of modern Lebanon as the shiningest example:

When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, “Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know — if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.”

Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.

Has Biden gone mad? I ask this sincerely. Does he have some sort of organic brain disorder that would compel him to make such demonstrably untrue claims? Unbelievable. Read Michael J. Totten’s incredulous response:

What on Earth is he talking about? The United States and France may have kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon in an alternate universe, but nothing even remotely like that ever happened in this one.

Nobody – nobody – has ever kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Not the United States. Not France. Not Israel. And not the Lebanese. Nobody.

Joe Biden has literally no idea what he’s talking about.

Moreover, I have never once heard anything about Obama calling for NATO intervention in Lebanon. When did such a thing happen? When the Second Lebanon War broke out in the summer of 2006, was Obama really calling for NATO to keep the peace in Lebanon? Call me crazy, but I think that’s utter nonsense.

Needless to say, Big Media is far too busy fellating Obamachrist to question Biden’s hallucinatory account. Equally needless to add, although I must, is that such claims, had they been made by Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin, would have drawn derisive howls from such miserable fluffers as David Gergen and Anderson Cooper and the other Leftist craphounds at CNN. Did the anti-American reporter Michael Ware manage to raise an eyebrow at the news that we evicted Hizballah from Lebanon? Doubt it.

In a just world, Biden’s remarks would be regarded as even weirder than Gerald Ford’s claim in his 1976 debate with Carter that there was no Soviet domination of Poland.

But this isn’t a just world.

It isn’t enough to be offended at the obscenity of Barack Hussein Obama’s nomination by the Democratic Party; one must recognize what a danger this man has become and act against it. This utterly vapid speech he gave in Berlin today is a declaration of ego the likes of which I have never seen in an American politician. The only thing that comes close is the narcissism of Huey P. Long. Then again, the Kingfish got things done, whereas this unqualified liar has merely used the system to advance himself personally without actual regard for the welfare of those whom he claims to represent.

We are witnesses to the increasingly deranged fantasy of a cultural interloper and a post-American demagogue. He has abused all decorum and has made a mockery of both JFK and Reagan —and for what? The benefit of footage for his campaign ads? He actually thinks that his Big Media carnival show of a whole week’s duration is a substitute for the hard work of dedication, experience, and real judgement in foreign policy? What an obscenity!

And standing there before a crowd of 200,000 Germans was this miserable crypto-Muslim fraud, condemning his own country before the descendants of mass murderers:

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

There is no excuse to not vote against this idiot come November. Just the who the hell does he think he is?

Just caught the last few minutes of Madame Couric fluffing Obama Soter —and it turns out that the reason he’s going to hold a campaign rally in front of Hitler’s favorite monument to Prussian militarism is to get the krauts “to feel good” about America again. And to say we’re sorry to our “old enemies.” So very, very sorry.

Obama is an abomination. Inshallah, this wankfest he’s been on this past week will be the beginning of the end of his hopes. Surely Americans won’t reward this degree of narcissism.

That wretched fuck Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to visit Ground Zero?

They’ll never permit such an obscenity, of course, but were they so thoughtless, I’d certainly hope that some patriotic American would make him a witness.

Right there where the end of Islam as we know it was begun.

Insh’allah.

It’s almost beyond belief, but there’s a report going around that

Dozens of Syrian military officers and Iranian engineers were killed about two months ago in an a chemical weapons accident, Jane’s Magazine reported Monday, revealing new details on the incident which took place in a secret weapons facility.

According to the report by the British magazine, the explosion occurred early in the morning on July 26, in a factory in the city of Halab, as the officers were attempting to mount a chemical warhead with mustard gas on a Scud-C missile.

A fire which started in the missile’s engine led to an explosion near a storage location of chemical substances. The blast spread lethal chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX gas and sarin nerve gas, which are considered extremely toxic and are banned for use according to international treaties.

If true, it will be necessary in the very near future for Nancy Pelosi’s friend to see his capital reduced to rubble.

It’s over, Assad. Know that, if this report is confirmed, it’s over for you. 

The Moon will save the human race—

Were loonies beaten off their path—

The unthrown stone remains in place—

Through orbitary aftermath.

A blast unguarded —global fire—

Here’s thirty pieces, you fucking liars—

Now go and reckon what you did

When you did nothing but blame the Yid.

Looks like the Democrats are trying to get a bill passed by which our Government will compensate residents of Guam who were killed or otherwise victimized by the Imperial Japanese Government during the Second World War.

Wouldn’t the Japanese be the obligors in this case?

Looks like the logic of reparations for aggrieved groups here at home is taking shape.

The profit we make of our ancestors is our own existence. Just in case you motherfuckers didn’t know.

Then again, where can I get paid for the discrimination and hatred directed at my Jewish grandfather back in the 1910s and 20s when he was growing up? Surely we can find a way to monetize that!

I’ve seen this Peter Bart Variety piece linked to in a few of my usual haunts, so have at it (emphases mine):

The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the “I” word — Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close.

I normally reserve the expression ”a satanic inversion” for another context —in which I attempt to characterize the effects of terminal celibacy on my very fucking soul— but this seems as good an occasion as any to widen its applicability to the likes of John Edwards, and to ask of the Hair-do himself that if you cannot get this answer right —if you cannot discern between our allies and our enemies— then what business have you to be running for the White House? Seriously.

Long before Iran even tests a nuclear device, it will have already, through its proxies in Hizballah and its apparati elsewhere in the region, helped defeat the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, attacked Israel, and assisted in —if not perpetrated— the murder of American soldiers and innocent civilians throughout the Iraqi theater by means of IEDs, money, and intelligence.

And you believe that Israel’s right to self-defense is the threat?

Get thee behind me, John Edwards. You are dismissed.

With thanks to Professor Reynolds, have a look at this item at the blog It Shines for All:

We spoke to the former Executive Director of the Holocaust Memorial Council, Monroe Freedman, who confirmed a WorldNetDaily report that he had received a note from Jimmy Carter complaining that there were “too many Jews” on the Holocaust Memorial Council. Professor Freedman also said that Carter’s support for the Holocaust Memorial Council was “principally a political gimmick” based on getting political support from Jews.

Professor Freedman, now a law professor at Hofstra University, also confirmed that a respected Holocaust scholar was rejected as a board member by Carter’s office because the scholar’s name “sounded too Jewish” — although he was a Presbyterian Christian.

Thus did the feather fall from Moishe McGillicuddy’s cap.

Jimmy Carter has owned a remark in his latest book in which he clearly advocates the use of terrorism by the Car Swarm People (emphases mine):

“It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel.”

But what’s Carter saying now that he’s been busted?

“I apologize to you personally and to everyone here,” Mr. Carter said when asked about the passage by a student during his appearance at Brandeis University on Tuesday. After explaining that the passage was “worded in a completely improper and stupid way,” Mr. Carter said he has asked publisher Simon & Schuster Inc. to change the wording in future editions of the book.

Where does Carter’s Jew-hatred come from? I say it was from the time he was savagely attacked by that wild rabbi on a fishing trip.
