they are some lovely people.

I know we’re on the right track when the Hindrocket weighs in on Presidents. It would be ironic if it were to turn out that Martin was a Young Republican. That could have really jam the wingut gears.

They just can’t seem to get it through their collective peabrain that the outrage on the left is all about the obvious miscarriage of justice. As much as the racists want to make it about race, that was never the issue.

So hateful they can no longer see anything except hate.

I’m confused.

Is that bumper sticker protesting the unwarranted expansion of government into the lives of Americans, or the crippling tax burden being foisted off on American families?

There’s really nothing funny to say about Buttrocket and his ilk here. They really, truly seem not to care that a teenager was shot by a guy who just wanted to watch him die and who — amazingly — is getting away with it. It doesn’t matter what the preznit says or thinks, it doesn’t matter what the black panthers do or don’t do. It shouldn’t matter if the victim was black or white — the fact that they don’t seem to give a shit that he died just because is simply sad.

But it does, of course, go hand in hand with their cavalier and selective attitude towards the lives of others: if they’re Iraqis or immigrants or poor, then they are irrelevant and completely dispensable; if they’re zygotes or rich enough to matter, why, then they matter above all else.

Not that I wish it upon anyone but, hate is basically what killed Brietbart so…..they have that going for them.

So one asshole with a blog lies and another asshole with a better known blog takes the lie a step further. And next? TBogg, I seriously think you are too kind in referring to fiction. This is how we develop the likes of James Earl Ray, John Wilkes Booth and indeed George Michael Zimmerman.

You would think that the University of Tennessee would be so embarrassed by one of its employees being so willfully obtuse that they’d cut him loose.

About the only good thing I can think of about this whole tragic mess is that Breitbart had already pissed off before this hit the news; otherwise we’d be subjected to his racist frothing all over Fox News as well.

Chuckles Krappyammer: “Never thought I’d see the day I’d be aligned with a halfbreed Mexican grumble mutter fart fart.”

Ruben (“The Rube”) Navarrette Jr.: “C’mon, guys! I smoke your knobs on every single issue except racism! …Against Latinos, I mean!”

I guess that bumpersticker is saying what Rick Santorum was trying to say recently.

They’re not even bothering to dog whistle anymore.

Nope. This and abortion are about all that they have left. I expect that they are all ironing their sheets and hoods for the Grand Klavern, I mean GOP Convention this summer.

Exactly. The righties keep on looking for reasons to justify the killing of a 17-year-old kid whose skin color just happens to be black.

What’s really funny is when they forget they’re speaking in public and then start channeling Governor LePetomane, as Santorum just did.

In other words, he’s a racist hatemonger.

Haven’t conservatives spent decades saying there is nothing wrong with being a “racist hatemonger”?

Dare say a few have claimed it the superior way of doing things…

I expect that they are all ironing their sheets and hoods for the Grand Klavern

Seeing as how it’s open season on hoodie-sporters there’s big money to be made as a pillow-case selling arms merchant at the GOP Convention.

Goldman-Sachs will love playing both sides of this one….

Of course Hindy and Corncob are going to outraged, simply outraged. They have no other talents. If there wasn’t a market for Teabagger foot-stamping, they’d be blowing truckers at interstate gas stations for $10 a pop. But if these clowns really want to get down into decrying random, anonymous ‘liberals’ as a stand-in for the President, I’ve got a few FreeRepublic and Blaze comment threads I’d like to thrown in their dumbfuck faces.

“… New Black Panthers, who offered a $10,000 bounty …”

That’s five grand a piece from each and every single member of the New Black Panther Party

Most excellent rant, Mr. Lee. I doff my hat to you, sir.

I have heard there is a word in old Norse referring to the nation feeling hopeless but going on despite knowing they will ultimately fail. It was suggested the German people had it going on at the end of WWII. It seems as though the right is gripped by some variant of this the way they will attack or defend whatever is their position or opposition no matter how vile. If it is something like this, it’s not going to end well as there will be no “Oh well, we lost this one, maybe next time”.

“they’d be blowing truckers at interstate gas stations for $10 a pop”

You’d think that with all the wingnut welfare they’re receiving they’d be able to pay the truckers more than that.

I respectfully disagree. This was always about race, and all it took was for a half-black President to weigh in with his totally inoffensive comments for the racists to unleash the full measure of their execrable hatred. They are scum, and they have nothing to offer except hatred for everyone who doesn’t believe as they do. Fuck them all.

Goldman-Sachs always love playing both sides. Their strategy has always been heads they win and tails you lose.

Race and misogyny are at the heart of the modern conservative movement in many ways.

CUE THE MUSIC: “This is their Jerry Springer moment….”

According to the recently departed Andrew Breitbart, accusing someone of racism was the worst possible thing in the world to do to another person.

Unless it is rightwinger Republicans accusing left wingers and liberals and Democrats of being racist.

Then is is AOK.

I think they’re up to 3 members now. woo hoo! If 1 BP is scary to the righties, how scary would 3 times that number be!

Of course, 1 is probably FBI.

I gotta go with commie atheist here: If Trayvon had been white, the right would have been all on about what a tragedy it was–and how Obama’s remarks show how he’s rejoicing in the death of a white teenager and this is just the excuse Obama needs to collect everyone’s guns.

But Trayvon was black, so there is no tragedy. He wore a hoody. He may have smoked pot and skipped class once in a while. Thus, he most certainly deserved to die. And anyone who points out that the death of a 17-year-old kid is, indeed, a tragedy, well, they’re just fanning the flames of race war in the country.

Whatever problems I have with the President (and I have many), there really is only one answer to this:

Hope is what he promised. Hate is what he’s delivering.

No, sir, hate is what you are delivering. Racism has long been a problem in this country, as has misogyny and homophobia. The election of a mixed race President, has however apparently so enraged the racists in this country that now they do not even seek to disguise their rage, deflect and project it’s origins certainly, but not the rage itself. You and your ilk are rotten excuses for human beings and seek only to make the world over in your twisted fashion. And the further we get from that, the meaner and nastier you get. May your hate consume and destroy you quickly for everyone’s sake.

The right wing is upset because the Sanford Police Department actions surrounding the Trayvon Martin case stepped all over their Derrick Bell is a dangerous radical who thinks the law is racist narrative. It took them a few days, but then they reverted to their Obama is a racist for acknowledging he’s black, and black people are out to get whitey arguments.

While this may resonate with the base, it is a continuation of the attitudes that alienate the rest of America. The debate between the right and left in this country is less about whose ideas are better than it is about whose are more radical ( dangerous). As conservatives push hard to implement radical policies, they seek to move the needle by constantly portraying what normally would be considered middle of the road policies and innocuous comments and actions as evidence of a hateful anti-American agenda. While they have had some success with this tactic in the past ( the 2:1 ratio of self-identified conservatives over liberals ), the disconnect from the mainstream has become too great to sustain the narrative.

Yes, you are clearly confused. See medical help immediately.

I have my own “issues” with Pres Obama, but how he handled the Trayvon Martin situation is not one of them.

The 1% has been actively encouraging and employing the Southern Strategy for decades now, but since Obama was chosen to be Pres, the volume on racism has been amped up 1million%.

Clearly citizens are being very actively encouraged to be the most bitterly viscious of bigoted racists by the rightwing “media” hate machine, and it’s for a reason. To actively gin up one segment of the 99% against another segment in order to *distract* all of the 99% from how we’re being ripped off, plundered, destroyed, etc, by the 1%.

Sadly it’s working.

Even sadder and more pathetic is witnessing the rightwing’s eagerness to jump at any excuse to be as bigoted, racist, homophobic, misogynistic – in other words as hating & hateful as possible – for almost no reason. That Obama happens to be at least partially AA has been a key element in the diatribes perpetrated by the usual “supsects” on the right.

Sad, disgusting, pathetic. I’m afraid we haven’t begun to touch bottom yet.
