Pointing out the obvious again on conservative racism poisoning our politics.
Category Archives: Racism
So THAT’S why they call it the CRACKER Barrel!
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Troy Dale West. He’s Southern, looks like a lost member of Alabama. He’s got three names. And he likes to beat down soldiers. Particularly female black soldiers just trying to take their daughter to dinner.
Nice guy. I’m sure he votes straight Republican.
Because of how he beat down Army Reservist Tasha Hill, the FBI is investigating whether to charge him with a hate crime.
Here’s a key point the Feds might want to look into:
According to Hill’s report, and confirmed by many witnesses, West screamed out racial slurs before punching her in the face. “He said, ‘You’re an fucking black nigger bitch,’ is what he said,” said Hill.
THIS is what Republican endorsement of screaming mobs leads to. Eventually, these racists will just resort to opening fire on people who look different to them. Just as actual Christian are complicit in killing abortion doctors by not speaking against their angry, idiotic co-religionists, sane Republicans – what’s left of them – shouldn’t be let off the hook for this clown or any of the gun-toting town hall loons. Speak up or be lumped in with the traitors.

President Jimmy Carter derides racist tone against President Obama
Thanks Jimmy.
Joe Wilson And The Meaning Of Respect : NPR
Just when I think NPR has knuckled under to their conservative whims, I hear a story like this.
They still have a LONG way to go before I feel like I should donate to them again but this is a good place to start.
Deus Ex Malcontent: (Dont’) Give ‘Em Enough Rope
Once again, what liberal media?
Hell, even NBC is covering up for these racists.
Oh yeah, apparently Joe McCarthy is back in vogue for the traitors.
Bakari Kitwana: Is Conservative Obama Backlash The New Racism?
Kitwana finally gets it about conservative opposition to the President.
Nothing I’ve seen about their irrational arguments points to anything but outright racist hatred. Maybe not amongst everyone who believes this crazy BS, but definitely amongst those who propagate it. What a sad place this country must look like to the rest of the world.
CNN’s Martin: Birther’s “I want my country back” comment means “How is this black guy all of the sudden running the country?” | Media Matters for America
I completely missed this given that I don’t watch a lot of CNN anymore. But it’s damn funny. Gotta love Roland Martin.
Yeah, it’s a bit dated, but still very relevant.
Race-Based Protests Directed At Obama Continue To Rise
Once again, most of these Republican protesters aren’t necessarily against health care since they’ll be in line just like the rest of us. It all comes down to the fact that these racists are just pissed off that a black man is President.
Think Progress » Woman yells ‘Heil Hitler’ to Jewish man praising Israel’s national health care system.
Folks, the Reich Wing has come to Vegas.
Here’s the video to the event:
Basically, since John Ensign is hiding from the public and Harry Reid doesn’t have a spine – and Lord knows what our Reps are doing – we haven’t had any of the town hall bullshit here. At least until a local racist radio shitheel decided to hold one – in a country/western dance hall.
No, I’m not kidding.
While there, a proper Rethug begins launching into Hilter chants while trying to shout down a Jewish man speaking.
That, in a nutshell, is the Republican Party folks. When something doesn’t go their way, call everyone a commie, bring out the Nazism, and kick in the racial slur machine. Add a dose of angry religion even Jesus wouldn’t recognize as anything he’d ever said and turn the volume up to 11.
Somehow this works. I don’t know why. You’d think people would raise their children to learn that throwing a tantrum is not adult behavior. You’d think people would raise their kids to not be bigoted jerks either. Then again, I guess you’d call those folks anything but Republican.
UPDATE: According to DailyKos, the lady is ironically wearing an Israeli Defense Forces t-shirt. So much for that pro-Israel policy. Or as the posting goes:
Apparently the wingnut love affair with Israel goes only as far as getting Israelis killed in the race to the Rapture.
When an Israeli wants to talk about health care, it’s right back to “Heil Hitler.”
….Now, why does an American wingnut wear an IDF t-shirt to a health care event? To prove wingnut bona fides, of course. But… first thing out of her mouth when she meets a real Israeli? “Heil Hitler!”
A Jew disagrees with her. The mask comes off.
