Stay Classy, Jon Caldara

  • 27 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Insightful commentary from the head of Colorado’s leading conservative thinktank:



Take that, Madam Secretary! You may consider the discourse elevated…now.

—–

UPDATE: It’s not even Caldara’s punchline, folks. Ann Coulter yesterday, via Media Matters:

It was so funny, Caldara just had to lift it.

  1. Although there might be a queue lining up to receive massive head wounds, were Americans forced to en masse to read a Caldara editorial.

    1. Obama is playing the press like a master, making them beg for the photos.

      Let’s see if he can stick to his guns and principles and hold back all evidence. Unlike his CIA spymaster cum Minister of Defense, brother Leon, Obama has a much better grasp on the realities of this new day.

      As I stated on our entry into Libya, our President now has his war legs, these were only strengthened with his directed capture/kill CIA overseen raid In Abbottabad.

      Like the birth certificate issue, I believe our President on this one. After all, he saw it go down live on video like Sunday afternoon NFL action.

      1. You are such an ass.

        They bag him, tagged him and threw him in the sea so there will be no memorials on his grave stone and no riots that injure innocents or endanger any Americans overseas.  

        Fuck you you stupid simpleton.

        1. I think our President has handled this better then anything else he’s tried. I’m counting on him to shield  the photos, other evidence, collected intel, and our men from the rubber necking American public and our sworn Islamofascist enemies.

          Go wave your stained white flag elsewhere.

      2. if the photos are released, this Gerbil would be complaining that the president is showboating by releasing them.

        What a dirty piece of trash.

        1. Is property of the US Navy and CIA, as Commander in Chief our President has a duty to protect the Nation and he’s doing just that.

          Why are you so bitter?

          1. You’re not a Gerbil and I apologize for my posts.

            This is from his 1/4/9 speech in Cairo

            http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06

            “The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.

            In Ankara, I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam. We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.”

          2. but it really angered me that men and women risk their lives to protect our country and all Caldara can do is make snide remarks.

            I saw your post and translated the NFL comment as an insult.  I was thinking where was the commander in chief suppose to be if he wasn’t watching the updates?  The age of radio has been over for a long time.  It was his watch and his orders that sent those teams in.  Surely he should have access to the best communications possible to follow the events.

  2. never failing to live down to expectations no matter how low our expectations go. What a stupid, vulgar, little schmuck. Emphasis on little.  And schmuck.

      1. over “schmuck” which is way more vulgar than most people think so maybe I shouldn’t emphasize “vulgar”.  Sorry, Bubbie.

        1. Now THAT (in Yiddish) would get my mouth washed out… yet somehow grandma thinks I can’t hear her muttering it under her breath if someone is rude to her.  

          1. as I only remembered the ending) was:

            Vahksin zuls du vi a tsibeleh, mitten kup in drerd

            Which means may you grow like an onion with your head in the ground. Can be modified for referring to he or she instead of you.

            But that’s not a vulgarity.  Just a  good old fashioned witch like curse. Like her other favorite:

            Ah choleria

            or a plague on you, specifically cholera. My great Grandmother, her mom, was an orphan married off to a widower who had lost his wife and all his children but one to a particularly nasty cholera epidemic so this wasn’t just a hypothetical curse.

            In my youth, my extended family’s Russian Jewish grandmas were tough ladies (except to their darling grandchildren) who’d been through a lot of hard and scary times, pogroms, wars, shellings revolutions, epidemics,scarce food, strikes and riots, and didn’t mince words but also, oddly,  did not use or tolerate the equivalent of vulgar four letter swear words. Go figure.

            1. The onion one. I love it. I’ve heard it phrased as “he grows like an onion…” too to refer to someone who is already a dirtbag.

              My Russian Jewish grandmother is quite similar, but does have a bit of a potty-mouth in Yiddish. Her mother, or so I hear (she passed before I was born–my sister was named for her) was exactly like your description. And, interestingly, also an orphan.

  3. One thing you can tell about “kill ’em – dead and eat the guts” repubs is they never served in the military. They have no clue.

    You don’t have to wonder why McCain is okay with not releasing the death pics of Bin Laden. He knows what the images are.  

    1. Coulter and Caldara are symbols for the Vietnam era republican draft dodging Generation Chickenhawk.

      Libertad’s posts seem to indicate he’s part of that multi deferment demo.

      This bj slipknot seems more the young college republican type service avoider, a chickenhawk of this era.

      Operation Yellow Elephant is an excellent go to source for info on the new snotnose republicans and their bj like ilk.    

    1. But look at it this way …. The few remaining and mindless liberals left on this site have all been pimped by JC to post comment after comment in this diary.

      Face it twits, JC is part of the media, of course he wants the photos released, he’ll make money.

      Again, economics is something most here have no clue about.

  4. One would think the birth certificate episode last week would have shown how absurd our burden of proof has become. But now people want a picture with Bin Laden sans one quarter of his skull.

    Obama should NOT give in to these fools. Instead, he needs to show the classified pictures to Republican leaders. The onus will then be on them to confirm that the pictures are of Bin Laden (or use their “take the President at his word” nonsense).

    As for Caldara, he won’t be able to get off on Bin Laden or Hillary pics. Besides, he misses the point entirely. It’s not about us Americans stomaching the picture. It’s about their risk of inciting terrorist retaliation. People forget what happened after we showed Al-Zarwqawi’s bloody corpse and the PR disaster that ensued from the clandestine pics of Saddam Hussein’s execution. I wish military spokesmen would explain these consequences to the American people more clearly.    

    1. it should be. If Caldera wants to show his young children what brutally* killed dead people look like, he should start ignoring police tape. Take a field trip! Leave my nieces and nephews out of it. The last thing our country needs is a bunch of people sitting around the TV saying, “See, little Susie, that’s what happens when people are Muslim!”

      You can’t unsee something like that. And I sincerely hope we don’t start become completely desensitized to it. Like there’s not enough flashes of violence and random food shots on our news already? Respectability, what’s that? Bin Laden dead, already reported. It’s no longer news. The pictures themselves would be news. Good use of time. Super good. Who needs NPR?

      *A bullet to the eye is brutal. Doesn’t matter what happened, or who to. Fast, but unpleasant. Not a slam on anyone.

  5. As for Jonny….his job is on the line, IMHO.  Conservatives are not doing that well in Colorado…the last initiatives, with the exception of Douglas County vouchers, are failing.

    I always feel sorry for him. He has a mean streak, but a family to support.
