Yeah, why wasn't that brought up at last week's Liberal East Coast Elite cabal meeting?? I could have been on a liberal elite beach somewhere right now!

Last night's Daily Show just nailed this whole "Real America" thing. They had a quiz to determine if you're a "real American" or not, and ended up determining that if you answered any of the questions, that meant you were watching the Daily Show and were, therefore, not "real Americans."
ETA: Sorry about that! I forget that not everyone watches it right away.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Kathy, maybe spoiler font that? I know a lot of people don't watch TDS right away and I can't help thinking the joke just got spoiled.

I think there is something to the "Real America" thing. I believe the Republicans are playing on a sense that Obama represents the urban, multicultural (McCain is now even attacking feminists) America that probably represents the future and is threatening to some people. A message of, hey, vote for us and we'll keep America from changing is probably pretty comforting even if it is unrealistic. I think that is where all this anger is coming from. My daughter told me this morning that the kids at school were saying that Obama's family are all terrorists.
Then there are the poor forgotten smaller government Republicans who wonder what the heck happened to their party. I kinda feel bad for those guys.

The Jason Jones story was pretty brilliant as well.

I was going to post that it looked like I killed the thread, but I forgot that Emily posted after me. So I guess it's her fault.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember my post (from an hour and a half ago) about Hayes saying Liberals hate real Americans? He now denies saying it. But there's audio of him saying it.
More Hayes wackiness:
In 2006, Hayes said, “Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men.” As recently as 2005, he was still insisting that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11.
Rep. Hayes Lies: I Never Said ‘Liberals Hate Real Americans’
eta: Another lie:
Michele Bachmann Says She ‘Never Questioned Barack Obama’s Patriotism’
