The GOP would like you to believe that racism is dead. That the Klan is no more and there is no threat against those of a different color, creed, or religion in this country.
But your average Palinite rally last fall put the lie to that nonsense.
Check out these photos from LIFE on the lives of America’s racist, Nazi-loving, GOP-voting hardcore. A collection of similar pics from the photographer is here.
Bent on screwing up the Fourth of July, crackpot separatists took over tea parties to espouse their hateful anti-American views.
As usually, they get help from FAUXNews, who just recently had a show host angrily fume on how we don’t keep the races “pure” here in the United States.
Here is more on how even fringe anti-American GOP pols get booed at Texas tea parties.
Genius! Thanks for stoking the anger of all those traitors. Let’s genuinely hope it doesn’t come back to bit us, even the Republican bastards.
For some reason, I read random how-to articles. I’ve got a couple email related ones to share with you today.
For your consideration, here is one related to better email etiquette, which you have to admit is probably something we ALL need a refresher on.
The other is strictly tied to Google Mail, which I use a lot, and comes in a series of tips at increasing levels of difficulty.
Give them a look. You’ll probably learn a few things you can put to use right away.
Guess I’ll make this how-to thing yet another trendline for the blog.
For the Fourth, NPR posted a handy article on making the perfect burger. Granted, opinions and tastes vary, but I found it a good article.
Less useful but more entertaining as a memory artifact is this article on how to open a beer bottle with a Bic lighter. Granted, I don’t smoke anymore and used a Zippo or matches when I did, but this is a skill that should not die in the modern era. Enjoy.
I am a lifelong Republican. What can I do about the continued insanity? The GOP has absolutely fallen apart and I don’t know if we can salvage it or fix it? Who votes for people like this woman? She is simply irrational. I am tired of being the butt of jokes from the left. We must find intelligent people. We cannot continue to elect cretins like this and make any headway. Why are our leaders getting more stupid and less qualified every election year? I just don’t get it. Where are the Buckleys? Where are the reasonable people?

I actually feel bad for the woman quoted above. She was posting on this story about Insane Sociopath Michelle Bachmann, Republican of course, who wants to kill the annual mini-census. Presumably this is in line with her desire to kill the census – and eventually democracy – altogether.
But seriously, Republicans, why do you vote for these idiots? There has to be someone, anyone better. Y’all need to step it up or quit the profession.
Even more context from the raw video itself.
I don’t know why this pisses me off as much as it does. I guess the GOP is scrambling to find anything it can against the President and they’ve now resorted to the “horny minority” option. You know…he’s “subhuman” and all.
Bastards. This guy has more loyalty to his wife – and there isn’t proof of anything else to date despite the wrath of a thousand Swift Boater types – than the entire GOP Senate delegation. Or GOP Governors. You name it.
This article calls out NPR on being too timid to call out torture for what it is. Instead, they fall back on the Cheney-style euphemisms for what is, to be completely honest, torture.
This is the continuing problem I have with NPR and the author gives some reasons for why this is how it is. There are some great shows, with fantastic hosts, but the whole “let’s suck up to the Republicans” meme really brings down the quality.
A lot.
Enough to stop me from donating anything to them. Ah well. You really do hope for more. Why is is wrong to call racists racist? Or corporate-paid politicians enemies of the common man? Or the folks stocking up on guns because we have a black President traitors?
Wrong is still wrong, right?
Yet ANOTHER classy Republican reaction to the Obama family.
Racist pricks.
Some lowlight quotes:
“we;’re being represented by a family of ghetto trash.”
“Looks like a bunch of ghetto thugs. A stain on America.”
“Looks like a typical street whore.”
“What we now are sending the ghetto over to represent us. and if so who the hell is that flea bag who looks to be dragged from the trash dumpster.”
“you could go down any ghetto right now and see exactly the same.”
“could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there”
“the world must be laughing like mad right now at that we have this kind of street trash in our white house.”
“Wonder when she will have her first abortion.”
Science!
Apparently, more than three quarters of scientists now say the Bushites suppressed their research. Why am I not surprised? Saddened, but not surprised.
Any wonder why among some of our brightest and creative minds only 6% of them declare themselves Republican?
So first, there is the following pic of Obama averting his eyes whilst Sarkozy and Berlusconi possibly scope out a young lady.
Then the Drudge-ists and other conservathugs run the following pic, apparently “catching” Obama doing the same thing.
And let’s be honest, it does appear to be that way.
And let’s be even more honest. Since there doesn’t seem to be a major GOP politician who has not recently – or currently is – cheating on his wife, I can see why that’s where their heads are at. You know, when they have any bloodflow going to their brain at all, that is.
But, ABC took a look at the actual video and the story changes a lot when you inject reality into the situation. Once again, conservatives can’t be bothered with the facts, and look like idiots – again – when the whole story comes out.
Though apparently Sarkozy was DEFINITELY checking out that young lady’s derriere.
