"but he let Hewitt get away with calling the left a "fever swamp" and he and his fellow wingnut radio personalities "quite responsible" because the FCC regulates them. Now Wolf should know that the FCC only cares about bosoms... "
Too bad somebody on the airwaves did not care about the "boobs" in office.
Because exposing those "boobs" is the decent thing to do.
What is indecent is letting them remain unexposed and unexamined.

There are assholes everywhere. Its just that the right leaning assholes and there folks are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.
The right blogs by far have a bigger percentage of anti-american fools and racists, and that lot. Hell even the right radio personalities have more of these nuts.
The only thing that annoyes me is what you have pointed out... that they dare to cast stones.
I really wish there were a way to call these freaks on their behaviour. And I don't mean that (as the right likes to do) the one or two trolls that post crazy stuff pretending to be one one side of an issue when they are on the other to make them look bad. Nor do I mean the fact that you are always going to have 1 or 2 legitamite nuts (though we all know that is what gets reported on just like the 1 protest sign out of 1000's)... I mean they casually carry on insane conversations that the totally believe en mass in a anti-American, anti-Moral, racist, class-warfare way.

The Katrina time frame brought out the worst of them. Racists crawling out of the woodwork and feeling righteous about it, in fact. I remember bursting into tears at a local, upscale bar/restaurant because of remarks being made without any thought that others would disagree or consider the remarks racist.

Mike Stark NAILS Hugh Hewitt...
"We must build a wall across the entire 700 mile expanse of the southern border. We have to keep them out.
It got me to thinking… I believe there are much larger Muslim communities in Canada… And border security along the 49th parallel is fairly minimal along large swaths of the border…
So… given the profile of likely terrorists (and those involved in the Beslan massacre), shouldn’t we be more concerned about terrorists crossing into our country from the north?"
LOL standards indeed. Which is why I still miss Pat Paulsen (for Prez!) so much. His famous line would fit in perfectly:

The Dubai Ports Steal recently allowed many of the dolts on the right to proclaim that liberals and the left are the real racists.
Many of these folks hands were still red and stingy after applauding loudly for Ary-Ann Coulter after she declared: "9/11 taught us, raghead talks tough, raghead dies."
The other strange phenomena is how for 30 years I have heard those on the right proclaim that "racism doesn't exist" anymore in America. Although they quickly find the existence or "liberal racism when tears are needed to fill boo-hoo rags over criticism of conservative blacks and Latinos and Asians. Michelle Malkin, Abu Gonzales and Clarence Thomas have all been victims of the evils of racism event though there is "no more racism."

Instahack links through to this travesty of sexism.
"Okay, so the "you go girl!" program is now backfiring--instead of Prince Charming coming to rescue their little Princesses, some mothers such as the author, have just rewritten the script. It now goes like this: "if you are a girl, the world owes you, nothing can stop you and you will be given everything you want--while pushing all others (e.g. boys) out of the way." All colleges become Daddy, who is to hand over the fat envelopes of admissions, just because you happen to be "an accomplished young woman." Perhaps these same mothers would have been better off teaching their daughters something different about the world--like how to deal with adversity and how to tolerate being rejected. It is something boys learned a long time ago. If shit happens, you suck it up like a guy and do not complain. (Look how feminists tend to dismiss male complaints as unmanly "whining.") If you fall down, you get back up. The world does not owe you and life isn't always fair, especially if feminists are in power.
But now the tides are turning and the very affirmative action rules and regulations that were to be used to promote their little girls (as well as other select groups) are backfiring. Maybe if we selected students based on their actual qualifications, rather than gender or skin color, their daughters would be back in the running. But if you are going to play the affirmative action card, you have to live with the results and play by the rules, and that may mean the very "minority" you are trying to promote may become the very ones who lose out. Watch out what you wish for, it may come back to bite you in the ass."
op99 -- good one but I don't think a link-through is going to count. It's certainly a way they promote racism without taking credit for it, but I think there's plenty to dig up in the way of actual quotes that we can stay there.

I think that this November is fast becoming an opportunity to drive a stake thru the heart of the fascist political machine known as the Republican Party...and exposing and isolating the Republicans on top of their racist shit pile can be the sledge to hammer the stake home.
Racism, homophobia and sexism are poison to politicians this time aroun. Instead of peeling off segments of special interest voters (like the anti-abortion folks and "security" voters) and adding 'em to the fascist base, these three hates can end up drivin the special interest voters away from the right and keep 'em home. If the economy gets much worse, these special interest voters may even migrate back to the Democrats.
In any event, the hate that is at the heart of the fascist idea set is circumscribin the boundaries of growth for that movement. I have said for some time that I think the fascist base vote is 17-20% of the voting population and it may jest be the poison that euthanizes the Republican Party as we have come to know it.

The column isn't really racist. It's just silly. Here's my favorite quote: "We fought a war to free slaves. We sent millions of white men to battle and destroyed a portion of our nation to free millions of black men. What kind of nation does this?" Um, well, the kind of nation that enslaved millions of black men in the first place. Noonan is usually a brilliant writer, but this piece was nowhere near her best work. Based on this, I'd say she's lost it.

I'm with Frank Probst, I'm not tough enough for this contest either. I'll read the results though. I also agree with Frank Probst that all the huffing and puffing over Mexican Flag is racist BS. Funny how populations of European extraction were able to crow about their cultural heritage, wave their flags, preserve their culture, and it was justifiable pride, and good for us all to taste them healthy morsels of European cultural goodness in the melting pot stew of cultures. I had relatives back east for years, and I saw all the cultural enclaves and clubs and whatnot. But is was Irish, or Polish, or German, so big deal. Not threatening at all.
But for Asian, Middle East, South Asian, and Latin American, not so much.
This will be dismissed as more worn out liberal piety in many quarters, but IMHO, it is plainly racist. I hope some contestants dip into the reactionary wingnut cesspool's reaction to the latest GOP immigration wedie.
--which by the way, seems to be working out as well as the last couple of times they tried it, that is, not well at all for the not so crypto racist Bushite GOP.
I'll also remind folks of my theory that the European nation whose notion of the melting pot is closest to that the US reactionary racist wingnuts is the French. On this one issue they have a lot in common -a melting pot that destroys all but the favored cutural traditions in a uniform paste of chauvinistic citizenship. Look where that got them -weeks of riots from disaffected citizens whose ancestors were not European.

"It just happens that killing black babies has the happy result of reducing crime. I do not question the research or logic of Levitt's argument. If a specifiable group is inordinately responsible for a social problem, it follows that eliminating a large number of people belonging to that group will reduce the problem."

Here's an extensive quote from the article:
"Tactical Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from US navy ships and submarines in the Gulf would, it is believed, target Iran's air defence systems at the nuclear installations."
"That would enable attacks by B2 stealth bombers equipped with eight 4,500lb enhanced BLU-28 satellite-guided bunker-busting bombs, flying from Diego Garcia, the isolated US Navy base in the Indian Ocean, RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Whiteman USAF base in Missouri."
It reminds me of the scene in "Airplane!" where the main character tells his wife the detailed plan of his next mission. "When will you be back?" she asks. "I can't tell you that," he says. "It's classified."

Hopes of meeting former Beatle Paul McCartney fell through, a mosque withdrew its invitation and a local luminary lined up to host a concert in nearby Liverpool pulled out as a political statement.
She visited a school in this community that is 25 percent Muslim, but many of the children were kept home for the day by protesting parents. Others cut classes to join the protests.
Rice was supposed to watch Straw's beloved Blackburn Rovers football team play but their match was moved to Monday night for better television coverage. So a brief ceremony to present her with a jersey took place in an empty 32,000-seat stadium.
The British press painted the trip as Straw bringing his girl home to meet the folks, aided by comic strip-style photos with speech bubbles and a much-used picture of Straw with his hands on Rice.

On a serious note: I feel obligated to point out that I drive a Honda Civic and only live about a mile from work, but I think higher gas prices are a good thing overall. Yes, the rich get richer, but higher gas prices are really the ONLY thing that will motivate the American public to buy more fuel efficient cars and consider alternatives to gasoline. The fact that we're just throwing money at terrorist sponsors isn't enough to do it, nor is the fact that we're trashing the environment. As far as I'm concerned, $3 a gallon can't come soon enough.

op99: Thanks for the link to the Noonan article... I guess...
I think some prize ought to be given for op99 finding this piece of racist drivel. Why do I say racist? Well read this edited passage about the supposed decline of the myth of America:
"Who is at fault? Those of us who let the myth die, or let it change, or refused to let it be told. The politically correct nitwit teaching the seventh-grade history class who decides the impressionable young minds before him need to be informed, as their first serious history lesson, ... that the Indians were victims of genocide, ...
This ignorant racist hack can write such an outrageous lie!? Is not denying the Holocaust often cited as evidence of anti-Semitism? I think this is something similar.
Out here in California, the natives were damn well sure victims of genocide. For quite awhile a young white fellow with an eye on the main chance could get up a nice business by rounding them up and selling them into slavery. Or shooting them and getting a bounty per scalp. I read a history of the northeast of CA, the country where Ishi came from, it said that the bones of the slaughtered families lay out in the woods for decades. No one left to bury them, no white people cared. Not victims of genocide my ass.
By the way, I live in area with tons of immigrants, from all over. I like it just fine. And from talking with them, I think Noonan's completely horses-ass wrong about the decline of the myth of America. Almost every one knows damn well that they have a better chance here than where they came from, and are very inspired by America.
Why do these reactionary nuts hate America? Hamilton thought Jefferson was a contemptable hypocrite, why do they hate Hamilton? Actually, I think they do hate Hamilton, since if he were alive today there is no doubt in my mind he would chose the Dems over the reactionary Bushite version of the GOP. Hamilton would bet along famously with Lloyd and Bob and Larry and I predict would be a proud FOB. He wouldn't be a progressive Dem, I don't think. But he would be a Dem.

GSD - not sure if you saw this link on Iran from earlier - not sure of the reliability of the source but the article is frightening to say the least - and sadly all too believable.
I think the US military and Bush will be shocked and awed by the Iranian response should it come to that,which it really appears to be the case.
The administration is in full court press, or full press court mode to be exact.
An attack on Iran will cement the beliefs of many in the Muslim and Arab world that the US is indeed bent on destroying and occupying them.
I read an interesting article today about how Afghanis have been going to Iraq for insurgency training in order to bring the tactics back to Afghanistan. It appears to be the case.
Throw in Iran opening up the gates of terrorist hell all over the place too and it will become the death of a thousand cuts for old Uncle Sam...China won't have to lift a finger to come out on top.
The US won't handle a new depression nicely like the last time. Too many Blackwater mercs loaded up on New Orleans style "target practice".

Also from Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal we have Charles Murray, the infamous co-author of "The Bell Curve" spewing this stream of sexist venom:
"Thus, for reasons embedded in the biochemistry and neurophysiology of being female, many women with the cognitive skills for achievement at the highest level also have something else they want to do in life: have a baby. In the arts and sciences, 40 is the mean age at which peak accomplishment occurs, preceded by years of intense effort mastering the discipline in question. These are precisely the years during which most women must bear children if they are to bear them at all.
Among women who have become mothers, the possibilities for high-level accomplishment in the arts and sciences shrink because, for innate reasons, the distractions of parenthood are greater. To put it in a way that most readers with children will recognize, a father can go to work and forget about his children for the whole day. Hardly any mother can do this, no matter how good her day-care arrangement or full-time nanny may be. My point is not that women must choose between a career and children, but that accomplishment at the extremes commonly comes from a single-minded focus that leaves no room for anything but the task at hand. We should not be surprised or dismayed to find that motherhood reduces the proportion of highly talented young women who are willing to make that trade-off."
Lots of good racism in there too.

As your PUD, it will be my responsibility to make sure that if you are ever in a hurricane, earthquake, typhoon, tsunami, tornado, flood, or any other natural disaster, I will be there to take care of you. If you’re stranded during a flood, I promise that you will never suffer the pangs of hunger or thirst as I will see to it that within 3 hours, water and food are precision air dropped from C-130 cargo planes directly on top of your house.
As for the indignity of having to answer the “call of nature” without access to proper facilities, your government has been hard at work in developing a collapsible port-a-potty that you’ll be able to set up anywhere at a moments notice. Every American will be issued one of these little gems from our Catastrophic Relief Asset Program (Personal) or CRAP’s so that you won’t have to deal with those horrible smells that come from backed up toilets in shelters.
In fact, if you are stuck in a shelter, we promise to make your stay as interesting as possible. We have contracted with some of the top entertainers in the country to perform round-the-clock shows to keep you amused so that you won’t go blabbing to newspeople about what a horrible job we’re doing. So far, we’ve been successful in signing talent like Perry Como, Wayne Newton, The Judds, Lee Greenwood and we’re in serious talks with Kenny Rogers. And for you youngsters, we’ve had initial discussions with MC Hammer and Paula Abdul. With such a winning lineup of stars, I’m sure you’ll have a good time.
If you choose to be a looter during one of these disasters, we have a rather special and innovative program that includes both legal representation and a pamphlet that lists various excuses you might give to the police for what in normal times would be considered outrageously illegal behavior. For instance, say you’re caught with a flat screen TV when coming out a Wal-MartNo problem! Just use excuse #30-A in your pamphlet that states “But officer! I need this flat screen so that we can have a clean place to eat our MRE’s off of.” If that doesn’t work, accuse the policeman of callousness and indifference to you and your family’ s plight and hope you can shame him into letting you go. Or, you can always say that you just “found it.” In a pinch, just say you’re a New Orleans policeman.
it goes on a little longer and then is signed By:
Rick Moran at 7:17 am

That is why his stupid "If was only a dictator" shit really chills me too.
That and his seeming relish to use the military in the event of flu epidemic and the rest of the creepy militarism emobodied by the likes of General Boykin and the Strangelovian General Hyden too.

This is disgusting - one comment from a reprehensible thread at RedState called "The Snobbery of Our Poor" - speaks for itself:
Why do anything? And I'm serious! By: dvdmsr
I agree with you, but I'm willing to go three steps further. Call me cold hearted, or call my plan tough love, but something has to be done, and I'm tired of people pussy footing around the white elephant of the poor and the entitlement mentality many of them posses.
Other than providing a disabled program for the disabled, I am not sure why we should do anything for the poor in our current economy. If Illegal immigrants can earn such a good living here, and are willing to risk all sorts of things to get here, why can't our homegrown poor? Apparently we are not suffering for a lack of jobs because as many politicians and posters here have been saying, we are need of a guest worker program.
As far as I'm concerned our poor are some of the wealthiest people in the world. I recall seeing a couple of John Stossel specials on this subject ("John Stossel Goes to Washington", and "Freeloaders," and although these obviously portray antidotal evidence they spoke volumes to me.
My solution is simple take the government money that would otherwise be spent on the poor, and use it to secure the border, keep illegal immigrants out, and kick out any illegals already here. This will result in a temporary labor shortage and the loss of public assistance will cause our poor to seek other sources for making a living, and of course they will have four choices. One they can starve, which of course solves the problem easy enough, or two they can turn to a life a crime which is basically what their doing now, and I'm willing to build more poor farms and prisions, or three they can fill the labor vacuum lefts by the recently kicked out illegal immigrants, or four they can seek help from private charities, which unless we are in a major depression this is where aid should come. Now of course if they can holdout a while eventually those employers who lost their cheap immigrant labor will be forced to raise wages to attract these poor folks. However, as I said above there is the chance that these employers will move their operations across the border to follow the cheap labor, but there are other factors that will keep many of these businesses here for a long time, like for instance our infrastructure for industry, and our climate, access to water, and soil fertility for agriculture.
There is a down side, which is that the cost of these higher wages will be passed on to we the consumers, but as far as I'm concerned that's an acceptable price to pay to achieve a secure border and a more responsible, thrifty, and ambitious citizenry.
Boy that felt good. Don't get me wrong I love the poor, but at some point the 40 year-old bum in your basement has to go for his own good and your's.
..."So why are we not discriminating against Muslims in our immigration policy?
One can almost hear the sharp intakes of breath at that question. Even among Conservatives such a question is shocking. Yet nothing but Liberalism vitiates a hardheaded discussion of it. There is nothing in our Constitution that forbids us to close our doors to any specific class of people;..."
So what book ya gonna buy yerself for yer prize?

From the comments section of the Redstate post Jane linked:
[[[ "slavery By: Basil Rathbone
Paul, I'm with your tortured expose of neo-conservatism (right-wing liberalism) until you indict the Founding Fathers with the original sin of slavery. It's the trip wire for modern conservatives who while they respect Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton, yet place an astoric before their names out of some sort of placation to modernity. Shame on you.
I see it differently. Slavery in America was a tutalage for a specific group of Africans. In less than 300 years (and less than 100 for the United States proper) the net effect was 4 million emancipated blacks were transported through 6000 years of civilization to "the greatest nation on Gods green earth" to quote neo-con Micheal Medved. In short, slavery is a net gain to any black "American". 750 thousand whites who perished in the US civil war notwithstanding.
Slavery was not an "original sin". It was a "gift" lest you think the Ivory Coast is historically more beneveloent than George Washington.
And any black American today when asked if he/ she would go back in time and stop the slave trade is faced with the proposition of truth." ]]] http://redstate.org/comments/200...23525/196/

Just before I prepare myself for the great Spring leap ahead: I gotta ask how can GOP ever refer to itself, or to Bushites, as the personal responsibility party after Bush said that decisions about withdrawal from Iraq would be a decision for the next President. This Liar either decided he couldn't think up anymore BS and just revealed what his intention was all along, or he just passed the buck to the next poor sucker to inherits his mess because he couldn't think of any more BS to blow. And he is confident that the corporate media won't question him.
I think the corporate media press corps should be challenged every day to confront the Liar about the implications of his admission. I humbly submit that as another contest idea, or FDL project, or sumpin'.
I don't see how his job approval ratins could be above 40 or 50 after that. (40 or 50 poeple, that is, not percentage points). It's just peoples' lives, it's just their hard earned tax dollars, it's just the country's national security, that's all. If this jerk does do something stupid with Iran, I want every Dem House person to introduce a bill of impeachment.

GSD ... yep ... I think that while we try to analyze logically and say that attack on Iran will not help W in the polls, they really don't care about the polls, etc. And I don't know whether this is caused by their plans to do away with elections completely or their Diebold based confidence that they can now control each election or an assumption that with the right threat/terrorist attack setup W's numbers will improve or they just plan to have what they want done before '08 - control of Iraqi oil and Iran ... pipelines, puppet govts. They can reap the profits and may not need W in place anymore.

Forgive me I haven't read the threads for several hours.
Did anyone hear Wes Clark give the dem. radio address ? It was a hell of a speech. I'm looking for a copy, but here's the Yahoo story on it. His voice was killer.
From the speech:
"This administration has taken us on a path to nowhere — replete with hyped intelligence, macho slogans and an incredible failure to see the obvious," Clark said.
The administration "has shown tragic incompetence in everything from nation building in Iraq to disaster relief in Louisiana," he said. "Let's face it: We're not going to win the war on terror unless we start making more friends and fewer enemies in the world, and we're not going to be able to protect the American people without a new strategy."

Edward Teller -- yes the commenters here do those things very well.
That ralley in Los Angeles was very inspirational. The GOP is going to be quite boxed in by its bigot brigade as race becomes a big factor -- they usually run this stuff locally, under the radar. That Nagorney article was very informative about how the parties are looking at blogs. I think Gilliard and Stoller are right, if we can dredge this stuff up into the daylight we may be able to cut them off from the overt synergy they are trying to create between the party and the blogs. It's sure worth a try.
But I know it does mean people being willing to take a dive into all that bs, and I really appreciate everyone who is willing to do so.
Which is why I wouldn't ask anyone to do something I'm not willing to do myself. So off I go again.....

Jane as someone who lives by the Pacific you should read this:
In 1995, going back through the accumulated years of data, McGowan reported a staggering finding in Science: Zooplankton numbers in the California Current had dropped by 70 percent. "It's the largest change ever measured in plankton productivity in the ocean," McGowan says. "This enormous change in the zooplankton in the California Current could not be detected from year to year. It took several decades before we discovered this big drop, by at least 70 percent or even up to 80 percent."
With that huge loss at the base of the food chain, reverberations throughout the system that depended on it were inevitable. Since McGowan's study came out, declines of species throughout the area have been attributed to the loss of zooplankton and the warming water.
Gyro,
I read about the coral reef die off also.
For all the talk about how our land farming practices may not be sustainable, it would be a horrible irony if the ocean simply gave out, large-scale, in its ability to feed us and provide us with oxygen.
marky |
04.02.06 - 12:43 am | #
The only bright lining in the ocean news is that these changes are so rapid, and so catastrophic, they may force the government to act.. or convince the people to vote for a government which will act.
I really despise the conservatives for not giving any credence to the possibility of worldwide man-made famine, from environmental causes. For thousands of years, this has been the pattern, on a local scale. There was every reason to think it could happen on a much larger scale, eventually.

How would you or I or the biggest fucking genius on the planet know?
The most intelligent person I've ever known was a guy named Don Hamrick. He predicted the environmental problems which are emerging (salt accumulation on croplands from irrigation and fertilization, oxygen depletion in large ocean areas, global warming, massive ice melts) back in the mid-60s.
His conclusion, based on what he claimed he had learned after being abducted from the slopes of Mount Hood by Saturnians, was that the warming of the planet, combined with ozone depletion would result in a new absorbtion/adsorbtion formula for the closed spherical system upon which we live. He claimed that there would be a rapid shift in how the planet adjusts to these internal and external pressures around the time the Mayan calendar ends.
Maybe he was on to something, but I react negatively to millenialists. Wish I knew where Don Hamrick disappeared to shortly after he gave that 1968 lecture series in Northern California.

all these oceanic populations, including the marine mammals are at a low percentage of their historically sustainable levels. Additionally, a high percentage of Western Pacific biomass fish populations is a product of onshore hatchery output.
Overfishing is more of a problem all the time.

Speaking of new hate sites being spawned all the time, and, no, this isn't a contest entry:
playgoer.blogspot.com has been covering the cancellation of "My Name is Rachel Corrie" in NYC with professionalism and panache. But recently, they're starting to get flamed. A site started up a week ago which appears to mostly want to harass them for their coverage of the issue.
WASHINGTON - A one-two punch of bleaching from record hot water followed by disease has killed ancient and delicate coral in the biggest loss of reefs scientists have ever seen in Caribbean waters.
Researchers from around the globe are scrambling to figure out the extent of the loss. Early conservative estimates from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands find that about one-third of the coral in official monitoring sites has recently died.
“It’s an unprecedented die-off,” said National Park Service fisheries biologist Jeff Miller, who last week checked 40 stations in the Virgin Islands. “The mortality that we’re seeing now is of the extremely slow-growing reef-building corals. These are corals that are the foundation of the reef ... We’re talking colonies that were here when Columbus came by have died in the past three to four months.”
Please read the full article in the link. I can provide the same story from the Great Barrier Reef from a month ago. It's even worse there. The only thing that saved them was a cat 5 cyclone named Larry that mixed the ocean and cooled the surface waters. That cyclone was followed by another cat 5 on the other side of the continent.
There is Pulitzer Prize winning reporter who has fully documented the mendacity of the energy companies in this affair. The bookers just don't put him on TV. The energy lobbyist that was editing our own scientists reports in this field has just gone back to work for them George. Please don't insult our intellgence.
As for poo pooing 30 year old predictions, shall I e-mail 3 year old ones about the Iraq War?
In closing, I would offer this bit of political advice:
It's one hurricane season to the 06' elections.
It's three hurricane seasons till the 08' elections.
Nature will be voting from now on.
Sincerely, ****** ******
PS I will forward links to you on this subject. Clearly your not seeing the evidence that has been flooding in.

pointing out that blitzer is a shill for wingnuttia and that he lets wingnuts get away with things all the time is like saying a sewer stinks; it so pattenly obvious that it really has no effect to state it.

Eddeevy, I feel for you. But is it really such a big deal when you are banned for protesting some racist comments, and rather than acknowledge your argument, they ban you? I went over to aforementioned blog knowing I would be banned for protesting the handling of McKinney. Let's wear that as our badge of honour. As dissenters said in the bad old days of the Third Reich, all good people are in jail, or have been in jail. And as an avid fan of Victor Klemperer's diaries, I will note that he said : so-called intellectuals who support the regime should be hung from the highest tree. It's harsh, I know. But I am beginning to understand the feeling of betrayal since he was a Jewish academic.

The RedStaterConservoBots are totally on autopilot these days, so well conditioned are they that the merest hint of less than fullsome praise of their CultLeaderBush sets off their autoresponse attack mechanism. They can't control it any more than one of Pavlov's dogs could control its salivation at the chiming of the dinner bell. I doubt they are even conscious of it, any more than the dog would be.
Racism is inherent in the operation of the ConservoBot Cult. It's all wrapped up with fantasies of Dixie rising again, with a belief in the intrinsic superiority of the WhiteMan, with religious prattlement on patriarchy, with the need to abase oneself before a LordandMaster, with the determination to reverse court rulings like Brown v Board of Education, even go back and undo Marbury if they can, with the deep desire to replace Constitutional Self Government with a Theocratic Autocracy.
All of this is tied together with racism and sexism in ConservoBot Ideology; it can't be separated out. It's all of a piece. And because they are so thoroughly indoctrinated in the Ideology, they can't escape or mask their actual beliefs. They spew it automatically on reception of the appropriate stimulus -- the sight of brown people marching or speaking out, the sight of black people celebrating or crying out in despair, the sound of a Liberal expressing rational thought, the complexity of science. All of it triggers their rage, their fury, their ignorant blather.
All of a piece. All automatic.

Why don't you take the time to learn even just a bit about your closer neighbours ? Imagine how well CheneyBush and Rumsowitz understood Iraq ?

As an addendum to this, there's a book called "Take Them at Their Words: shocking, amusing and baffling quotations from the GOP and their friends - 1994-2004" by Bruce J. Miller, a 350-page compilation of Mein Kampf-like bloviations from GOP leaders, media whores and minions. It's a good tool to use when flinging their own words back in their Aryan faces.
Also, too bad those decent, moral souls in the talk radio propaganda arm of GOPmedia don't have transcripts of their daily hate-fests. Can you imagine the toe curling vitriol? Ah, but who'd have the strength to wade into that La Brea tarpit? The fascist Web sites are hideous enough.
This is a good idea. I am sick of the rightist bait and switch where the media whores aid and abet by bitchslapping our side with the canard of the day, and the brownshirts stand aside smirking while manipulating the puppet strings.
It may not change their MO but at least even the most indifferent and uninformed could recognize media manipulation.

Might I recommend The Conservative Voice as a source of right-wing nutjobism? They seem to be more a 'heartland' group than a 'keyboard commando' group.
There you often see swipes at 'liberal political correctness' which is often code for 'my right to voice my racism is being repressed'.
Just looking there today I find Michael John McCrae's piece Give It Back To Mexico, with quotes like:
Come on! If Robert Mugabe can steal every white owned farm in Zimbabwe, surely the Mexicans can steal all of America and kick all us white trash back to Europe where we belong!
I mean look at the youth! They are raising Mexican flags over American schools already! It must e a done deal. Not only that but they keep walking out of heir classes. They prefer not to learn. They prefer to remain ignorant and poor. They want America to look and feel just like their homeland so they will feel at home.

From FAIR, via Media Matters: As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."
In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a ninety-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's "Jeffersons" when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders.
Also catalogued at at Media Matters: A trove of racist bile from Neil Boortz. For example,
[Cynthia McKinney] looks like a ghetto slut. ... She looks like Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence.
The rioting, of course, will lead to wide scale looting. There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now.
... I mean, the attacks on the president yesterday completely missed the progress that's been made in the African-American community, which can be credited to President Bush. African-American homeownership at an all-time high ... the achievement gap between the white and black students at a high, closing, narrowing. I mean, you know, I think these civil rights leaders are nothing more than racists. And they're keeping constituency, they're keeping their neighborhoods and their African-American brothers enslaved, if you will, by continuing to let them think that they're -- or forced to think that they're victims, that the whole system is against them. Articulate it better, Sean; it's so sad to me.

Apologists are quick to argue that Latino supremacists are just a small fringe faction of the pro-illegal immigration movement (never mind that their ranks include former and current Hispanic politicians from L.A.

I guess if I could convince myself it's a research project, with excel spreadsheets, access type database, pencil behind the ear, taking a "scientific" frame of mine, I could steel myself.

rayra: "There's a wanna-be Cesar Chavez here in Los Angeles who is calling for a one-day strike by all Mexicans. They are also organizing another mass-march on May 1st - yes, May Day, 'International Socialists Unite!'
"I intend to cover that march. And I strongly encourage Lizardoids in ALL US cities to do so that day. Show this movement for what it is - Mexican Supremacist. Let's put together a collection of imagery that makes this undeniable. No more of the MSM ignoring the reverse-racist signs and sentiments. Or the carefully stage-managed hiding under passed-out US flags."
Locke/Demosthene: So when the Mexicana movement takes up suicide bombings, are the Israelis going to urge us to show restraint?
Merovign: I am pretty well sick of this [Mexican immigration] crap. It's like some jerk breaking into your home, planting on your couch and demanding beer and pretzels. By the time the police arrive, they've cleaned up the glass and they say "hey, I work here! I'm no freeloader!"
johnCV: No, my tolerance for the abuse of Americans is over, whether you be an illegal alien, jihadi or french. Go home and fix your own corrupt and socialist problems. We'll tend to our own affairs.
gymnast: Want to be an American citizen? Enlist or get in line, a hell of a lot of Brits and Euros follow that route. Where are the Unions? Out to lunch with the mafia or the Dems? Where is the American born minority welfare class? Out to lunch with Jesse, Al, and their congress persons? Who needs this shit when we are at war? The Left Democrats, thats who.
Here's some hate speech directed at Jill Carroll in a comment thread of The New Republic on an AP story about Carroll retracting statements made under duress:
Ms Carroll’s statement sounds just like Vince Foster’s “suicide note”. There isn’t enough detail in it to trust that it was written by her. Like nothing about the nice furniture and the shower, etc. I suspect it was written for her by dad or by the CSM.
Then:
Another thread showed before and after photos and she definitely gained 20lbs or more during her stay with the terrorists. Wazzupwiththat?

Not on the top 100 - hell, not even in the top 250 - but a little sampling of the bile found at pardonmyenglish.com:
"Burn The Mexican Flag
To the illegal immigrants and their supporters who dared to protest against legislation aimed at curbing illegal immigration, to them I say, "go screw."
To all those protestors who are stealing the American dream while waving the mexican flag and holding signs in spanish, I say, "go to hell."
To all those people that think it is okay to fly the mexican flag to show solidarity, but think it was wrong to fly the Danish flag for the same purpose, "you are hypocrites."
It's time to show these illegal immigrants what America is all about. It's time to give them a lesson in freedom. It's time to stage our own protest, it's time to burn the mexican flag.
Burn the mexican flag. Be proud to burn the mexican flag in protest of these illegal immigrant leeches. If these scum can't appreciate what American has given them at the expense of the American taxpayer, than I say burn the mexican flag.
Burn the mexican flag."
More to come...

Pardon My English has been pounding on the immigration theme for years now. From March 14, 2004:
"Mexi-Merica: Coming Soon
When the Germans came, they assimilated. German is the largest ethnic group in America, there are no belligerent second generation Germans that only speak German. When the Italians came, they assimilated. There are no second generation Italians that can’t speak English. When the Mexicans come, the do not assimilate. Many Mexicans (or Hispanics, or Latinos, whatever) do not learn English. They do not accept American culture. Read that last sentence and fully grasp its meaning. They come to America, knowing exactly what American culture is; they choose America over Mexico for any number of reasons (probably the terrible odor of Mexico), and they settle here. They settle here and turn here into there.
In Boston, quesadilla’s can be found on the menu of Irish pubs. In IRISH PUBS! There are more Irish people in Boston than there are in Ireland…even they can’t defend themselves from the invasion Mexican culture. They come to our nation, thinking it is better than their nation, and turn it into their nation."
And more...
"They can’t even assimilate to our average birth rate! Environmentalists warn us about cities getting too big, and nature getting too small…well now we know the cause.
There are currently about 290,342,554 (July 2003 est.) in the United States – WE ARE FULL! We cannot take anymore, we are filled to the brim."
And one more:
"My problem isn’t diversity, my problem is communication. When I can’t order my espresso at [unnamed donut store, known for it’s “dunkin’”] there is a problem. When I have to wait on a telephone line, paying $2 per minute, while the automatic voice repeats what it just said in Spanish, there is a problem."
Also some lovely tidbits today about how Jill Carroll faked her own kidnapping. Bye for now, I need a shower.

1) Sexual deviants would love for us to become part of Mexico. That way they can watch donkey sex shows and sleep with 12 year old prostitutes.
2) Today we walked out of a restaurant after a non-speaking illegal came to our table before we did we all told the manager we will NOT be back till all illegals are GONE out of this restaurant!
We called our lawn service and told them they better not dare send any illegals to work on our lawn.
We called a foundation company and told them we better not see any illegals working on our foundation or they are so out of here.
Americans need to take a stand and if you go to a hotel and you see a non english speaking person cleaning your room callthe manager and front desk and have them remove the person immediately.
Take a stand, boycott all mexican destinations like cozymel.
If our politicians wont help lets show them where they can work in another country since they decided to insult every American today by waving their flag.
3) LINE UP THE BOXCARS.
They are not right in the head. (I hope this is what you were looking for)
