SHALL WE CUT THE CRAP?


Shall we all just stop messing around? Will politicians and the media can the mealy-mouthed acceptance of right wing assholes doing their level damnedest to throw this country into chaos by toting AR15s into public meetings? Shall we stop pretending that any of this is about healthcare or even conventional party politics? All the Fox/Palin/Glenn Beck bullshit, the white trash whining about how they want their country “back the way it was”, the constitutional crap about the First and Second Amendments, the president’s citizenship, the Obama-is-Hitler nonsense, FEMA camps, pulling the plug on Grandma, and all the rest of the orchestrated poison is nothing more than a choreographed campaign by wholly unscrupulous corporate interests and their bought-and-sold communication creatures to steer the nation into maximum-profit, free-enterprise fascism by exploiting a single but hideously deep seated lumpen fear. Barack Obama is the first black president, and a culturally challenged segment of the nation just can’t handle that. The heart of the matter is a Neanderthal racist rage that should have been left in the 20th century and not seized as a tool by intellectually and morally bankrupt political shills. Some of you may object to my use of a Klan picture. Too bad. As far as I’m concerned it’s the symbolic visual of this shameful and shamelessly pandered-to mindset.

Obama is not Hitler.

That's not the problem.

The problem is that Obama is not even Obama.

Yeah... Obama is actually the proto-christ here to prepare the god-sent american nation for the socialist lifestyles it will need to embrace in order to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Nope, seems we can't cut the crap, sorry Mick.

The fucking illuminati {thats ruling elite to people who are slow} are behind it,and always were....as long as there are plenty of wars,plenty of tanks + guns etc to maintain these wars,and plenty of soldiers who will be killed in the wars for their souls,to name just 3 things, their money profits and satisfaction will be guarenteed and handed to them on a plate...but....things are changing...at last...as people realise theyve been mugged for centuries.

Jack Van Impe, well-known TV bible huckster, has,on his recent programs, come as close to calling Obama the Anti-Christ as the libel laws will allow him to.

wv is "troremin" which, if memory serves, is Barsoomian for "wierd shit"

How about those who are truly disappointed that Obama failed to live up to the promise of his campaign (and is proving to be far more of the same than anyone ever imagined on either side of the aisle)? Are we bigots too?

I don't disagree with the fundamental point about the far out weirdness that has been adopted by the mainstream right but the left seems just as hell bent on facilitating the fantasy of the Obama presidency as the right; they are just living a different fantasy.

You cut the crap very well! It doesn't have anything to do with Health Care or the economy or anything else... it's racism. It's so obvious. It's ugly. Just as Katrina exposed our destitute in this country, Obama has exposed our racists. Unwittingly, but just the same, it is what it is.

Zoe Wiseman said...

Captain Spalding... I'm afraid if you have legitimate concerns no one will hear those because the bigots have taken over the air waves.

I'm not living in a fantasy... but growing up in a "sundown town" (Gas City, Indiana) and fleeing as soon as I turned 18... I recognize racism when I see it.

Hey Mick, there's something here I think you'll enjoy. It's just a goofy PSA from my nineties era saturday morning cartoons (by the then unknown Barenaked Ladies) made for the Fux Network. Now, if it seems odd that I've brought you this, you should know that (despite being deeply imprinted) it's been twirling around in my head all a mess of fragments and images for fifteen years now, and that upon finding this treasure again I decided that everyone I really care about should have the chance to bask in it's pure un-saccharine goodness. You qualify for that nebulous and pitiable category, so here it is: perhaps the most beautifull thing a group of subversive artists ever managed to shake out of that particular tentacle of the blood-machine, The Ballad of Gordon
