Do you ever get the feeling that Tea Party Republicans see the phrase “Ignorance Is Bliss” as a Mission Statement?

Confessions of an Ex-Republican


I used to be a serious Republican who planned for a career in politics. But there's no place for a moderate like me in today's GOP.

This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website.

I used to be a serious Republican, moderate and business-oriented, who planned for a public-service career in Republican politics. But I am a Republican no longer.

Is anyone shocked that Barack Obama is getting blamed for Andrew Breitbart's death?

That should read is anyone sane shocked? A story of crazy people gone wild!  Perhaps it was his own hate and racism that killed him!  I wonder how he is explaining those character defects along with his habit of "bearing false witness" to God right now?-Mem

The Internet blames Obama for the death of Andrew Breitbart



It was, to say the least, inevitable. Hours after the death of Andrew Breitbart was announced on Thursday, his passing gave birth to the newest conspiracy theory. If you couldn’t guess who many are already blaming for his death - it's Barack Obama.

24 Policies That Republicans Supported BEFORE They Were Against Them
November 25, 2011
By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

Since President Obama took the oath of office in January 2009, Republicans have reversed their stances on many different policies and beliefs. Here are 24 of them.

1. Health Care Mandates) Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act by Democrats, Republicans widely supported the idea of an individual health care insurance mandate, Newt Gingrich being perhaps the chief supporter. Republicans have always preached about how people need to take responsibility for themselves, and now that a law exists that makes people take responsibility, the GOP is rejecting it simply on the grounds that President Obama and the Democrats passed it.

Column: GOP's disrespect of Obama goes beyond debt fight

By DeWayne Wickham

What should be clear to the whole world watching the debt-ceiling battle is that the Republicans are far more intent on taking the president's scalp than balancing the nation's books.

Is it just me or does Donald Trump and Sarah Palin seem like a match made in heaven?

What's the difference between Donald Trump and Sarah Palin?  Answer-Not Much!  They both sport bouffant hairdo's, one doesn't realize that she is ignorant and the other one doesn't realize that he is ugly. Isn't my hair cute Donald, while you are demanding things from this President I would like to demand to see your tax returns!-Mem

When Is It Enough?

The minute Sarah Palin nodded when a man in the crowd yelled "Kill The N*****" during her VP campaign? The minute she invoked hate and racism as well as violence? The minute Fox told their very first lie to invoke hate and racism? The minute Joe Wilson shouted at the President Of The US "You Lie"? When does the media as well as the White house say this is enough? When do these people get called out for what they are? The time is NOW before America has another great tragedy! We cannot be silent! We must call these people out and we must call the media out and make everyone accountable. Fox and Rush should be held accountable for their blatant lies and invoking hate and racism in this Country. The rest of the media should be held accountable for not calling these people out but jumping on the bandwagon for ratings instead! When is it enough America?~Mem


[WARNING: Audio not safe for work.]

Violent, racist haters among the tea partiers? NAACP gets death threats which proves it's point.

It's obvious why Andrew Breitbart successfully smeared Shirley Sherrod on utterly fake grounds -- he wants desperately to prove that it's the NAACP is actually a racist organization, after its condemnation of racism within the Tea Parties. Indeed, this has been a long-running schtick of Breitbart's -- that the "real" racists are not white people, but people of color.

He was even on CNN yesterday whining that "It is un-American" that the NAACP accused the Tea Party movement of racism "absent evidence".

Um, actually, Andrew, the NAACP provided plenty of evidence of racism within its ranks.

And then, as if to prove the point, a caller who clearly is an angry Tea Partier left the following message at NAACP's Hollywood bureau:

Caller: Of course you won't answer the phone yourself. Because you're chickens--t racist n---ers. The entire black race is nothing but a have-not bunch of bums. You can't work for yourselves. All you do is suck off the white man. F--k you, motherf---er! F--k you! You want a race war, you got it, motherf---er! You want to f---ing kill our babies, and kill white people? You, you're gonna f---in' -- the streets will run red with blood. The streets will run red with your blood. F--k you!

Not only was this caller severely lacking in the logical consistency department -- first he calls the NAACP racist, then embarks on a rant about "the entire black race" (in this regard, he's a lot like the typical Fox pundit). But the reference to "kill our babies" and "kill white people" was also an obvious reference to that incendiary video Fox News ran as a way of ginning up racial hatred and resentment among its white audience.

In other words, they fully succeeded. They should be so proud.

And is it just me, or does this guy actually sound a lot like Breitbart himself? Hmmmmmmm
