Large Portion Of GOP Thinks Obama Is Racist, Socialist, Non-U.S. Citizen: Poll

The actual title to this article should be: “Large Portion of GOP Are Inbred Pig Fuckers” or something to that effect.

Actually, I don’t blame individual Republicans. Much. I mean, yes, it IS their fault for only listening to Lush Rimjob or Pat Racistson or watching FAUXNews. But the lies being fed to them from conservative Tea Bag wingnut sources are created by people who have enough brain cells to upload a webpage update and run a radio studio or TV camera. So, it’s more the merchants of shit than the consumers of treason that are the problem.

Here are the actual poll results. To think these repressive cretins actually believe they embrace the spirit of America. Then again, slavers thought they were Americans once too I suppose.

Goodbye Howard Zinn

More on the recent passing of Howard Zinn, including some videos clip on this page plus an excerpt from his latest – and last – book.

“What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, it energizes us to act, and raises at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”

Bob Herbert wrote a very good article on Zinn. It really should be read as a personal homage to the man.

I have some more articles at home I’m hoping to link to. Hopefully I’ll remember to do that soon.

Michael Gerson – In the State of the Union address, ‘Principal’ Obama had lessons for all – washingtonpost.com

I don’t believe much of what this jackass is selling, but I do wish to post it for one significant laughable reason.

Michael Gerson, you see, is one of Bush’s speechwriters. You know, the president that never, EVER apologized for anything. You know, like ignoring threat assessments and getting 3,000 people killed in NYC. Or for starting a war in Iraq that has killed hundreds of thousands for no damn good reason. And so on, and so on.

So I find it hilarious and incredibly telling of the type of Republican bullshit and lies we’re forced to endure for some reason as a logical response to actual thought and legislation.

Gerson’s main complaint about the State of the Union speech is that Obama didn’t apologize “enough” for the things he could have done better.

Which is sad really. The guy who put the words into the “man” who ran away when our nation was attacked during 9/11 and never apologized for ignoring the evidence that an attack was going to happen. The failed man who killed 4,500 American military men and women needlessly never apologized for it. The weak man who killed hundreds of thousands of foreigners and called for a new Crusades never apologized.

The guy who wrote the lies for that unapologetic shit thinks Obama hasn’t apologized enough for saying he – and all of us – can do better. Incredible.

Obama Goes To GOP Lions’ Den – And Mauls The Lions

Obama went to visit the House GOP members today, and they played silly politics while he did his job. He took them on and make them look foolish, so much so that FAUXNews stopped airing the discussion 20 minutes before it ended.

This is what I voted for.

This is what an American President looks like confronting the racists, bigots, do-nothings, and traitors who live only to oppose him.

Damn good job Mr. President.
