This Really Does Say It All

Dear Dingbats...

...... who wish to secede. I have good news! Since it would be impossible for each state to come up with the money to buy the land from the federal government I have come up with a solution. If y'all move to Texas, throw your money into one pot then I really think you could pull this off.

For all the millions who did not sign the
petition, they are probably the middle class so just do what you do best and hold them hostage.

The really good news, you could fight Mexico for the land again and we all know you guys appreciate a good fight! 

Romney will bring all the bayonets and horses you will need. Ryan will bring your vouchers and ladies don't worry about being raped and pillaged. Your body will shut that down.

This goes out to those in Colorado and anyone else who has lost their ever loving mind!

Being here in Colorado again I am now realizing that many here are voting based on fear of the "scary black man". 

Their justification is economy, smaller government, parroting Fox Propaganda, but MANY of these people honestly believe that the President is a Muslim. When did Colorado people get so damn stupid? Many have said...have you watched 2016? Seriously? 

Many of these people are "Christians" who are voting for "the Mormon" who they have spent their whole lives calling a "cult" but better then the "scary black man who is a Muslim and those Muslims all want to kill us" I've been where you are!

For the record, I was raised in a very religious home.  (Same religion as Palin) We went to church every Sunday morning, every Sunday night and every Wednesday night.  I was also raised in a Republican home.  With that said, my parents never hated on anyone.  They took strangers into their home all the time, fed the poor and helped widows.  In other words my parents practiced the teachings of Christ.

The Tucson Shootings

Gregory McNamee - January 14th, 2011

I have lived in Tucson, Arizona, for the last 35 years. I voted, three times, for Gabrielle Giffords to represent my district in Congress. I have said hello to her at public events. I sometimes shop at the corner of Ina and Oracle Roads, where the terrible events of January 8, 2011—the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords and the murders of a federal judge, a nine-year-old girl, and four other Tucsonans—took place.

No amount of speeches, excuses and blame by Sarah, Fox, Beck, Tea Party, the GOP and Limbaugh will Erace what they ARE guilty of...

Tracy Knauss-In memory of a precious life taken too soon.

We recognize our own mortality, and are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame-but rather, how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in bettering the lives of others.-Barack Obama-Tucson, AZ 1-12-11

Right wing and a prayer: Michelle Obama attacked for appreciating prayers

October 15, 2010 5:31 pm ET

Right-wing media figures have attacked recent comments by Michelle Obama in which she thanked people for their prayers, calling her words "spooky" and accusing her of "feeling entitled to America's pride and prayers."

"You deserve the banishment to the political wilderness that awaits all traitors."

Open letter to the republican Traitors

Yes The Repulican Party Has Morphed Into Something!

I have been saying this since Sarah Palin came on the scene with John McCain, the republican party will no longer exist. Palin has brought her AIP sentiments with her and re-named it the tea party with the help of large Corporations like Fox and Koch. The republican party lost control during the elections and are caught in the middle of the religious and radical right known as the tea party.

Breitbart Claims That His Edited Sherrod Video is an Obama Plot to Destroy Him
Posted on July 27, 2010 by Jason Easley

Andrew Breitbart was on Michael Savage’s show today, where he claimed that his own edited video of Shirley Sherrod is really a campaign by Barack Obama to destroy him. Breitbart said, “I believe that he is orchestrating the campaign to destroy me and my reputation.”

Here is the audio courtesy of Media Matters:

In response to a caller who asked if Obama’s appearance on The View this week is payback for his possibly asking program last week to put on Shirley Sherrod, Breitbart said, “I don’t know, but I think, I’m not going to say I feel bad for President Obama because I believe that he is orchestrating the campaign to destroy me and my reputation.”

Okay, so according to Breitbart, Obama was behind his editing of a 25 year old video of Shirley Sherrod, to give the false impression that she was racist. Obama also told Breitbart to post the video to his own website for the sole purpose of using the doctored video as grounds for firing Ms. Sherrod so that the truth could soon emerge, which would destroy Breitbart’s reputation as a, “credible journalist.” The problem is that even before this Breitbart had no credibility after the ACORN video was exposed as a doctored fraud.

It is revealing that Breitbart did not get to go on Fox News, Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh’s radio shows in order to make his case, but that he has been reduced to going on Michael Savage’s show, which is most decidedly part of the B team in the right wing media. It would appear that all of the A list big audience programs are distancing themselves from him. Despite what he thinks of himself, Andrew Breitbart is not important enough for the President of the United States to waste one second thinking about him, much less hatch a plot to destroy him.

Breitbart is trying to appeal to the natural paranoia of the conservative mindset in order to save his own hide. If we suspend all logic and reality for a second, and believe Breitbart’s story, then he is the biggest idiot on the face of the earth. His defense is that he is a victim of an Obama plot, which means that he played a role in setting himself up, because he edited the video and ran it on his site. Even the most die hard Obama hating conspiracy theorists have to shake their heads at that one. Breitbart should have been finished after his ACORN video was debunked, but now he and his race baiting really are done. Let’s hope Shirley Sherrod sues him for every dime he’s got, and maybe she can take over his website and use it to combat racism. That would be some true poetic justice.

16 HORRIBLE THINGS THAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE REPUBLICANS GET BACK INTO POWER !

Let me spell it out

Exponentially more offshore drilling and raping of our natural resources with nothing but apologies to the big corporations as they ruin the environment.

No significant environmentally-conscientious energy legislation ever

.
Creationism not evolution taught as science in every K-12 school in this country.

Texas-style rewrites of American history gone national.

Glenn Beck would have a cabinet position and Rush Limbaugh would be the new White House Press Secretary.

No drawdowns, to timelines, just more troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

No rules of the road for Wall Street and financial institutions.

Lower taxes for the rich.

Repeal of health care reform.

Elimination of Social Security.

More ultra conservative Supreme court Judicial appointment — which will inevitably lead to the repeal of Roe v. Wade. This will cause the unintended and unwanted births of thousands of children each year who will be abused, neglected and impoverished.

The passage of a new Patriot Act. This one designed specifically to weed out “anti-American” Americans. Bill authored by Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann.

Drastically scaled back government spending to boost the economy, huge increases in government spending on new military conflicts and 20th century military technology (like massive Cold War era fighter planes that are absolutely useless except that they make the military brass as giddy as school girls).

The possibility that someone even dumber that George W. Bush (Sarah Palin) will occupy the White House.

No repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. In fact, there might be a constitutional amendment to ban all gays, even the hidden ones, from joining the military.

A 24-foot wall on the U.S. Mexican border and 24-hour brigade of armed guards posted 12-feet apart with orders to shoot anything that moves, costing about $200 billion per year. Contract awarded to Blackwater.

Media Matters: The politically motivated selective-victimhood of Sarah Palin

You've got to hand it to Fox News contributor Sarah Palin. After all, there aren't many people who can make news with a single Facebook post. Her status updates are like catnip for journalists and media types.

In a story detailing purported liberal criticism of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel,The Wall Street Journal reported this week that, in a private meeting, Emanuel called plans by liberal groups to run ads targeting conservative Democrats "F-ing retarded."

Following news of the hurtful comment, Palin, the mother of a child with Down syndrome, took to Facebook to demand Emanuel's firing in a post she titled, "Are You Capable of Decency, Rahm Emanuel?"

The deservedly stern comments of an offended mother or the hypocritical nonsense of a political opportunist?

First, it's worth noting that Emanuel has apologized for the comment at least twice now. It's also worth noting that just a few short weeks ago, Palin fretted that we were becoming a nation where we -- I'm guessing all the Joe the Plumbers out there -- couldn't use words that were "politically incorrect."

Far from consistent, Palin has exposed herself as someone who deploys selective-victimhood as a politically motivated weapon.

How else can one explain her harsh rebuke of Emanuel and near silence when it comes to eerily similar language used by conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh and her Fox News colleague Glenn Beck?

Last January, during an interview with Mary Lynn Rajskub, a star of Fox Broadcasting Co.'24, Beck laughed at the idea of artwork produced by children with Down syndrome, asking, "What do the paintings of the retarded children go for?" Then there was the time right after the 2008 election when he went after Newsweek over a story on Palin that he found objectionable. Purporting to offer the magazine's view of the former governor, he played the role of an unnamed Newsweek staffer saying, "When it's really, truly about Sarah Palin and how stupid, she's practically retarded. Yes. I think that's appropriate word to use for Sarah Palin, retarded. I t hink that's an... if you would like a retarded person running the State of Alaska, just higgeldy-piggeldy."

So what did Palin, then the newly minted Fox News contributor, have to say about these comments during her first hour-long sit-down interview with Beck?

Nothing. Nada. Crickets.

Responding to the controversy surrounding Palin and Emanuel, Limbaugh said liberals who complained about health care reform "are retards." Sure, El Rushbo went on to say that he was just using the term in "quoting Emanuel," but it wasn't the first time the language had appeared on his radio program. Almost a year ago, long before the Emanuel gaffe, while discussing the flu, Limbaugh appeared to mock those concerned with the use of such language, saying, "[a]nything you can do to stop it or to arrest it or to retard -- sorry -- to 'Special Olympic' its duration, then it -- you should do it."

On Thursday, Limbaugh addressed his controversial comments and suggested that Palin wouldn't "denounce" him because she "knows I do this kind of" thing. Just four hours later, responding to a request for comment on Limbaugh's comments by Greg Sargent of Washington Post Co.'s The Plum Line blog, Palin's spokesperson provided a broad statement saying in part that use of the word constitutes "crude and demeaning name calling."

How long would Palin stand up to radio's reigning king of radical right-wing vitriol? Not long at all.

The following day on his radio program, Limbaugh told listeners that a Palin representative had called him in a "panic" to explain her criticism. Heaven forbid she should offend Boss Limbaugh.

During the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, Palin offered then-Senator Hillary Clinton advice on dealing with the pervasive sexism Clinton faced in the media, saying essentially that she should stop whining.

If Palin can't be consistent in her criticism, perhaps she should take her own advice.

Other Major Stories

What's in a name? For Glenn Beck, the answer, it appears, is everything

On Thursday, Beck was revisiting one of his favorite subjects: the hidden history of Barack Obama. Reflecting on how Obama had, as a young man, gone from calling himself Barry to using his given name of Barack, Beck said this:

He chose to use his name Barack for a reason -- to identify, not with America -- you don't take the name Barack to identify with America. You take the name Barack to identify with what? Your heritage? The heritage, maybe, of your father in Kenya, who is a radical?

Beck's history regarding discussions of race speaks for itself. He has said Obama possesses "a deep-seated hatred for white people." Soon after, he defended those remarks, stating once again that, "I think the president is a racist." He has suggested that Obama is seeking to become a "slavemaster." He has pushed the idea that Mexican immigrants want to "reclaim" California and Texas. He called Justice Sonia Sotomayor a "racist" on at least three separate occasions. Beck has portrayed the Democratic health care reform effort as "the beginning of reparations," a theme he has repeated on both his Fox News and radio shows, saying that Obama plans to "settle old racial scores through new social justice." During a discussion of former White House green jobs official Van Jones' past, he baselessly juxtaposed Jones' picture with footage from a riot. He hasclaimed that India lacked "flush toilets" and said that the Ganges sounded like "a disease."

All of these examples are from the last year. The deeper you dig, the worse it gets.

And yet, when Media Matters accused Beck of racial insensitivity, he responded indignantly that "nothing could be further from the truth."

"If you don't see why some people would get upset that you accused the president of adopting his African name in order to repudiate his American identity and connect with his father's radical Kenyan heritage," wrote Media Matters' Simon Maloy yesterday, "then I'm afraid you might be a lost cause."

Indeed, he is -- and he's not interested in being saved. Though he portrays himself as an average Joe just trying to make sense of the world, Beck is actually a wildly successful broadcaster with decades of experience. Everything he does and says is deliberate, and by now, it should be overwhelmingly obvious that he routinely crafts his rhetoric to appeal to the worst impulses in his audience. He insults minorities, and uses racially provocative language and imagery, because he wants to stir resentments among viewers and listeners. There is simply no other way to explain the racially charged content he has made a staple of his work.

Is it any wonder why at least 80 advertisers have fled his Fox News program and civil rights groups have condemned him over his latest comments?

A Letter To Rush Limbaugh

Mr. Dimbaugh,

Please read this completely. I used to be one of your devoted listeners, but you changed that. It does have some insults, but you absoutely deserve all of them. I voted with the GOP for 25 years and would have continued to do so, until YOU started this hate-mongering within the GOP. You and the idiots at FOX have created this new breed of hateful, illiterate, trailer trash racist republicans that actually think McCain/Palin was a good ticket.....lol. McCain graduated #963 out of a class of 968, what a genius ! Palin had to go to 5 low ranked party colleges to get her Mrs. degree, and they both were an embarassment to the party. It is really not that difficult to brainwash people that exhibit an IQ as low as most of the Palin and Rush supporters. You have replaced what I thought was the most loathsome of the Republican pundits, Jerry Falwell and the Immoral Majority with completely false and fabricated stories of Obama being Muslim, even after it has been proven HE IS NOT MUSLIM! You and the other racist media kept playing the BS soundbites of his former minister, keep repeating the Muslim story even though you know it is a damn lie, and now you are spreading the latest fear-mongering story about the government being able to take money OUT of personal bank accounts using Direct Deposit? I know you are a high school dropout, but do you not know what Deposit means? The government direct deposits millions of IRS refund checks and SS and Medicare payments every year and they cannot and do not withdraw funds because IT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND RULES OF BANKING. But you know that your stupid ass illiterate followers will listen to your BS because they can't think for themselves and look to you and other dumb asses like you, to think for them.

You should be ashamed of the outright LIES and fabricated CRAP that spews from your racist, hateful piehole every day, and I hope that someone will someday arrest your fat, drug addicted ass for civil terrorism and take you off the damn air for good. What you are doing is NOT good for America, and it is completely based on racism and hatred, and you have the audacity and NERVE to make Hitler remarks about our sitting President? You are the closest thing to Hitler I have EVER heard on public airwaves, and I am amazed that even your idiotic fans will listen to your constant lies and propaganda. The reason your wife left your ass is she knew what you are, and saw right through your BS.

You are the reason I will NEVER vote Republican ever again, and thanks for opening my eyes to what a despicable, hateful, racist party the GOP has become under your coaching !! I hope GOD sends you to Hell for all the hatred you have created in the hearts of the illiterate bastards that listen to you. If Obama gets killed, you might as well have been the one to pull the trigger, and GOD will hold you accountable for your actions, and I hope your judgement day is sooner than later! When we sin, our THOUGHTS, words and deeds are seen by God, and you are stupid enough to voice your hate against the President and the Dems ! God hears all you say.

I have never hated anyone, until I started hearing some of your lies on your program about Obama and anyone that doesn't agree with your hate filled views, and yes you are as you claim, an obnoxious, pompous ass. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISAGREEING WITH SOMEONE'S POLITICS, AND INCITING PEOPLE TO MAKE DEATH THREATS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT OF THE US ! You have managed to get your maniacal followers to do just that !! You remind me of Charlie McCarthy, and your tactics and actions are even worse than his were.....he eventually was dethroned, and you will be as well. If you can listen to your own garbage and not HEAR the absolute HATRED in your voice and in your words, then you are so far out of touch with reality then I think you should change your name to Rush Hitler McCarthy.....but I guess in your deranged mind, McCarthy was a good american. Maybe the Oxycontin will build up in your system, or at least take years off your life to end the spreading of lies before the FCC steps in.

YOU WILL PAY IN THIS LIFE OR AFTER YOUR DESPICABLE LIFE IS OVER, FOR ALL THE HATRED AND LIES YOU HAVE SPREAD OVER THE AIRWAVES ABOUT OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS.....all just because you don't agree with their politics.....I hope it has been worth it.

PS- I have never felt this way or written to anyone harsh words like this, but you have to shake yourself and STOP THE HATRED !!! IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISAGREE WITH OBAMA WITHOUT INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST HIM ! Remember, IMUS got fired for ONE racist remark, and he was extremely mild compared to your DAILY race based hatred....I am petitioning on many sites to write the FCC about your inciting of violence and racism against our President, so watch your words because they WILL be your DEMISE......


From your formerly biggest fan,

A non-racist WASP, with an IQ well above your current listeners...

Mark from Texas
