How Karl Rove and fiends are bankrolling opposition to health care reform.
Plus, how $19 million in lobbyist money can buy five Democratic senators. If nothing else, hopefully these scumbags can get replaced with actual friends of the American people in their next primaries.
The Republican health care plan: don’t get sick.
The Republicans have a back up plan in case you do get sick … This is what the Republicans want you to do. If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly!
I am loving this guy. He calls the GOP out as wanting people to die to prove their point of obstructionism and refuses to apologize for it.
Here is the original video:
Here’s his apology:
And here are the highlights of his appearance on CNN putting the (outraged!) conservative’s feet to the fire.
You’ve probably heard about this, but some tool put a poll out on Facebook asking if they wanted Obama killed.
First, aside from the obvious tastelessness and sedition involved, even if you ARE a racist traitorous shitheel, why would you vote for that? Never mind the idiot that made it, he should hopefully do time – though he won’t. But seriously, even old fashioned web votes can track IPs. Why would you link yourself with presidential assassination on a program YOU HAVE TO LOG IN TO?!
Honestly, the punishment for this should be to wipe you out of the gene pool. Yeah, sure, you are an evil cretin and a Republican, but that’s permissible in this nation. What should NOT be is being so damn stupid and being allowed to pass that on to a new generation.
Because, honestly folks, the stuff you hear coming out of Lush Rimjob and Beck and their ilk isn’t even sensible. If it were a smart argument, it would be taken seriously by rational Americans. Look, Michelle Malkin couldn’t factor her cut of a five way bar tab, never mind the tip, and anything coming from her 1995-looking blog or falling out of her anger-contorted face can’t and shouldn’t be taken as more than Tourette’s-like ramblings.
But people DO listen to this crap, and take it to heart.
And even on little ‘ol Facebook, the Poll app, taken over by conservatives long ago, went too far. The creator thinks this is surprising, but having seen some of these poll questions, I figure it was just a matter of time.
People are dumb, and some of them are afraid and angry because most of us are fine with a black guy as president. Most of us are fine with health care reform and playing well with other nations, and having good science and equal pay for women. Obama did run on saying he’d do these things. These are not surprises. The only surprise is that the angry mobs expect us to believe they are actually mad about his policies.
They aren’t. They are angry racists and the sooner they realize the nation CHOSE this path the better. And if we need the Secret Service to pound a few of their heads when they are preaching sedition, then that’s what the Secret Service is for.
I mean, hell, they authorized people being arrested for wearing t-shirts against Bush, maybe they can beat some assault weapon packing perp to knock some sense into him at the next Obama appearance.
It took awhile, but adrift in higher pregnancy rates and increased STD infections, the State of Texas wakes up to reality and figures out that abstinence-only “sex education” is a failure.
Well, not to gloat given the horrible results of your stupidity, but, um, not educating people is not how your prepare them for life.
Good luck racing to join the 21st century. I’m sure you’ll find another way to screw that up too.

Just a brief note to remind you all that if, Teh Only True Honky God™ Forbid, Something Awful Happens to the President of the United States, it absolutely will not be due to Republican efforts to dehumanize him as something crapped out of Satan’s pustule-ridden Hades Hole and stitched together from Hitler Bits and wolf offal. Nooo, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Fucking Wingnutville) just wants to remind you that the democratically-elected President of the United States is simply “an enemy of humanity.” That’s all! No harm there, right?
Oh no, you heard that right! A sitting Congressman of the United States House of Representatives (“The House That Hope Forgot”) wants you to know that the president is an enemy of the whole of humanity. Not just to White Honky Taxpaying Taxpayers; not just to Old Peoples with their troublesome longevities; not just to Straight American Married Peoples terrified of Sudden Inexplicable Gayness Syndrome; not just to Decent Muslim-Fearing Christians with actual birth certificates not printed on Kenyan treebark! No, President Obama is the enemy of all humanity.
Nothing inflammatory or rabble-rousing about that.
I’ve been looking for video of this interview from last week. Here ya go.
As the title descibes, an article on the racism pervasive in the Republican Party.
Yes, I know there are plenty of Republicans who aren’t racist, and who aren’t Talibangelical End Times fanatics, and who don’t beat their wives and so on. That said, those folks sure the hell aren’t doing anything to silence the angry, violent, and seditious voices that are taking over their party.
Guilt by association is still a crime if you aren’t doing anything to improve matters.
This is exactly what I needed to read this morning.
I have noticed a lot of Bush apologists writing articles trying to explain away all the bad their idiot king did. You know, like half-heartedly signing onto the Iraq Surge makes up for starting the war in the first place. Even though, it was only one of a few things to help matters. And oh! we’re still at war there.
Also the bit about the stimulus plan and how that makes up for all the deregulation and purposeful non-regulating that helped caused the financial crash.
“Gee, I’m sorry I knocked up your daughter and ran away from my responsibilities as a father, but if I sent you a check for $50 would that cover the damages?” Yeah, it’s stupid bad like that.
So, I needed this kind of read.
(T)hat’s kinda weird given the former adoration directed toward the Caligula Kid. Isn’t that kind of intellectually dishonest? Can it be that the right in America is actually disingenuous? I mean, everyone knows they are destructive, selfish, hypocritical, racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, imperialistic, nasty, brutish and short. But who would have thought they were dishonest too?
Republicans love demanding that the federal government pay for their property damage but refuse to sign on to offering health care to American citizens.
So…building in a know flood plain is excusable, but just happening to catch cancer isn’t?
Compassionate conservatism strikes again.
