Las Vegas Weekly : White-power movement is hiding among us

At least someone is investigating the racist cults living amongst us.

Granted, with the emergence of Palinites and Tea Baggers it is a lot easier to find them in a crowd, but it just makes it worse for all of us that they now feel validated.

Such ilk does not deserve a public face or any form of positive reinforcement. Someone should tell the GOP that. Not that it would help.

Glenn Beck Advocates Secession | Mother Jones

Question: why is this jackass allowed to run around and preach treason to packed rooms of angry secessionists?

And why are they pissed solely because they lost a legal election and now have a black President?

Oh wait, I think I just answered that there at the end.

And John Stewart points out that Beck is a communist. In his own words.

Plus, Stewart on the rest of the madhouse CPAC lunatic crowd.

Why Do Conservatives Make Excuses for White Terrorists?

great question that I wonder every time there’s some dumbass like McVeigh or Roemer or Stack.

Also, since a decorated Vietnam vet died in the attack, you’d think we’d focus more on him. However, it turns out that Vernon Hunter is black and thus apparently unworthy of coverage by our lily-white media.

Will Bunch points it out succintly: Hunter was murdered by Stack. A white guy with his own plane who didn’t want to pay taxes murdered a black civil servant who also served his country in uniform in a past war.

That’s about as clear an act or murder as you get. Adding the whole ramming a fuel-filled plane into a federal building just makes it worse.

But conservatives? Those supposed “patriots” when it comes time to buy yellow ribbons but not when it is time to serve? Nah, they love Stack, just like they love anyone who wants to violently oppose our nation internally.

Baptist Pastors to Pray for Barack Obama’s Death on Presidents Day.

Everything you need to know about why I loathe a lot of conservatives as well as why I avoid religious institutions whenever I can are rolled up in this Pray for Death plan by the Talibangelical jackasses.

It isn’t enough that their hate and fear program was voted down by the American electorate. It isn’t enough that, despite their racism, a black man was voted president.

We won, they lost. They can’t accept it.

Now they turn to their Hate Jesus to kill Barack Obama. It isn’t necessarily treason to hope for someone to die, but it sure the hell is immoral. They should be stripped of their status as religious leaders and go dig a ditch somewhere.

CoffeeGhost » Alan Turing: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Poster

As the creator of this poster notes, rampant homophobia (and bigotry in general) is far more dangerous to our society than any so-called “terrorist” threat conjured up by the Cheney Hate Brigades.

Honestly, if conservatives hate gays so much, they should stop using the internet, not to mention passwords, considering all the work Turing did in the field.

Haiti, Bill O’Reilly and The Myth of the Dark Savage

It seems that every time there is a natural disaster, some conservative has to mock the survivors for doing what they can to survive. In both New Orleans and Haiti, anyone digging through the rubble for a loaf of bread was a “looter”. As long as their skin was dark, at least.

It’s not just the purview of the worst of our media. Seemingly all media organizations do it reactively. It just seems that FAUXNews-types take joy in criminalizing dark people in dire straits.

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Republicans — Not Obama — More Often on Wrong Side of Public Opinion

Someone really needs to remind the president that the people are mostly behind him on nearly all his policy goals. He is never going to be looked on well by the racist Republicans so he honestly, at this point, stop trying so hard to get them on board.

As long as they are preaching secession every time they lose an election, they aren’t coming on board. Even for policies they themselves have offered. When they start acting like adults, and American ones at that, include them. Until then, lead decisively and in the best interests of the nation.
