A "Christian" delegate in the Virginia state house stated last week that black people "should get over" slavery. He also went on to wondering if Jews should apologize "for killing Christ." Now that's a Republican for you.
Turns out, his great-grandfather was a slave owner. Maybe he misses the old days?
In addition, Congressional Racist Tom Tancredo wants to abolish the Congressional Black Caucus. Think he's scared of the black man?
Antonin Scalia and his brethren in the Supreme Court are on the same meme. "Its water over the deck - get over it," is his reply to those who still question the Court's decision to intervene in the 2000 election and give Bush the presidency.
Those are the Republicans' answers to race, ethnicity and electoral fraud. I know some of you incredulously wonder why I loathe the GOP in general. Those are some pretty good reasons. I know many of you are decent human beings, but if you continue to vote for racists, scam artists, thieves, and subvertors of democracy, you ain't as nice as you think you are.
Speaking of not-so-nice, McCain is questioning the credentials of Gen. George Casey, recently kicked out of Iraq for questioning Bush's planning.
CBS covers how McCain is looking older and, more importantly, grumpier and meaner.
Plus, despite his attempts to appear vigorous, he apparently fell asleep during the State of the Union address. At least he didn't drool, I guess.
Speaking of getting over things, Muslims are complaining about the new season of 24 putting Muslims in a bad light. Well, see, there ARE Muslims looking for nuclear weapons, so it really isn't that far-fetched of a plot. Then there are the cabbies in Minneapolis who refuse to pick up fares carrying alcohol or who have dogs.
Look, you asshats are as bad as the pharmacists who won't fill birth control prescriptions. Don't impose your narrow-minded, constricting, smug religion on me if you job is to provide a civil service of some kind. There are already enough misguided rednecks who hate Muslims for stupid illogical reasons. Giving them rational ones does not make things better.
Speaking of, Bush wants people to control their own health care (i.e. try to avoid the issue entirely by dumping it on private companies). You know, except when it comes to women's health. Then he wants to legislate that into the ground.
Oh, here's something else we should consider about Mr. I'm Bipartisan All of a Sudden: arms sales to dictators has increased in the age of Bush.
One last thing to mention. Barack Obama has taken on FAUXNews directly for slandering him and trying to paint him as a radical, fundamentalism al-Qaeda type. He's even named names and put people on notice. This is far different from Harold Ford's "aw-shucks-racism-doesn't-exist" strategy which lost him the Senate seat in Tennessee last fall, and well beyond John Kerry's "ignore people discrediting your military service and they'll go away" strategy when his campaign got torpedoed by those Swift Boats Veterans for Slime idiots.
Keep up the good work Obama. You may get me to fully support you yet.
