At least they're showing their true colors.  And I'm pretty sure black is not one of them.

And, really, did anyone think this was about health care reform in the first place?

The Right, including the Republican Party, is finally taking the mask off in its drive to re-enact Krystallnacht. Who would have thought that a health care reform effort would become the excuse for all-out culture war?

FDR's response to progressive demands: "I agree. Now go out and make me do it."

If you read TPM's coverage, apparently there were so many teabaggers in the halls of Congress who were acting nasty that the Capitol Police tried to get them to calm down.  The teabaggers had a confrontation with the Capitol Police and the Capitol Police backed down because the teabaggers were recording the confrontation with "high-end video cameras".

Why is this not a security risk?

The HCR bill has NEVER been about Health Care Reform. His imperial behindness Russ Limbaugh declared at the very outset of Obama's Administration what fight the racists should pick to oppose Obama. He chose the HCR bill and he said, "I hope he (Obama) fails". The Limbaugh broadcasts set the stage to bring out the racist mobs to the Town Hall meetings last summer. This racist mob has been branded a "third party" movement by the MSM, but it still remains a mob. The HCR lobbyists quickly recognized that the staged riots performed by these mobs were getting more news coverage than their all of their anti-HCR Ads put together. However, the lobbyists wasted no time providing funds and buses to facilitate so called Tea Party rallies.

The original racist mobs that created mini-riots last summer are still driven by their hatred of the idea of a Negro as POTUS. It is the media that is putting other well known anti-government protests (such as the size of the Federal Government and excessive taxation)in the mouths of Tea Party members. In its effort to make the Tea Party mainstream, the MSM set out a major campaign to completely obscure the obvious racist placards and language that energized the Tea Party members. But as the old saying goes, "if it looks like a pig, walks like a pig, and smells like a pig, it must be a pig." This saying especially applies to the Tea Party.  

I enjoyed the rude one's take on it.

Ok, we need footage. What's the best way to get word to staffers and such to start filming everything these folks do so we can get someone on camera spitting, yelling "nigger" or somesuch. What are the legalities of hidden camera on DC, and would anyone risk a bust as an act of civil disobedience if it is prohibited (yes, I know that brings up a host of issues)? Only with footage is this likely to get much play on CNN or CBS. If it's all over YouTube, they can't ignore it. Does anyone have any insight how to make this happen quickly?  My guess is that the ones who are inside the Capitol building are on surveillance video anyway?  Could that be released? With a FOIA request perhaps?

For God's sake, Booman!

Do you not go out of the house?

Do you not spend hours on the tube? On the jitternet?

"Meet" them? They're fucking everywhere!!!

You cannot walk down the street of a small town or a small or large city in America without "meeting" them. You cannot turn on Fox News or look at the latest Drudge Report filth, you cannot even look at the feeds from any legislature in the country (the smallest or the largest) without "meeting" them. You cannot listen to the CIA/FBI/Military/Intel spokesmen without meeting them. You cannot read the op-eds without meeting them. You cannot listen to the spokesmen of Big Pharma, Big Oil or Big Money/Big Insurance without meeting them.

Wake the fuck UP, goddammit!!

The whole system is broken.

Please.

I had to buy a new laptop this week. I am committed to Mac products because I travel a great deal and  cannot afford the time and hassle of dealing with cross-system configs. Macs have been fairly foolproof through the last decade. Plug it in, mess around a little and there y'are.

Right?

No more.

Even the most leftiness of corporations has gone rotten. It took me ten hours of  computer hell to even begin to get this new laptop talklng to my desktop system. I patiently...and not so patiently, eventually...climbed up the Apple ladder from know-nothing college kids reading out of manuals to (Finally!!!) a "senior representative"  who actually knew enough to be able to essentially say "Yup. The system's broken. This shit is not working. Time to go the the sneakynet." He actually used that world.

"Sneakynet".

A "senior representative" who sounded all of about 30 years old.

And ten minutes later it was working. Not by the book,. By hook or by crook. Which is the only way that anything works here now.

Why?

Because the system is broken.

Totally broken.

Wake the fuck up.

Those "nigger haters?"

They live down the block from you.

And they are going top win this next election.

We are one election away from Kristallnacht.

Only it won't be the Jews who go down.

It'll be the other minorities.

Helplessly self-deceiving leftiness clones at the top of the list.

They have your address, Booman.

Bet on it.

Clomp clomp clomp, up the driveway they will come.

Then you'll get to "meet" some of them.

Up close and violently personal.

Bet on it.

How about a petition calling on Republican members of Congress to condemn those who spit at, assault, threaten, or yell hateful epithets("nigger", "faggot") at Congressman? Not a call for censorship or legal consequences (let the courts hash that out), but just a call for condemnation. I think this puts the Republicans in a difficult position, as they don't want to be seen either as attacking the teabaggers, nor as defending this sort of abuse directed at Congresspeople.

A friend brought up his reservations about HCR and I explained what I feel are the benefits and the next thing out of his mouth was "Yeah what about those people that snuck in to the White House?  They could have been terrorists."

I was a little shocked and just said flat out, "You got that straight out of The New York Post and you are living in a Right Wing propaganda bubble."

I know that is where he gets his news and then just bs-ing I said, "Many people like and prefer living in a Right Wing cocoon -- about 25% of people, in fact."

He said, "No!  I think it's more than that."

What good Christians they are.

Oh, there you are, Perry. -Phineas -SLB-

Yesterday, there was nothing I could say about this on a public forum that wouldn't get me put on a surveillance list. It made me that angry.
