McCain Pwned by Obama!

This is the perfect mocking response to the McCain/Palin childish taunting that "Obama is a socialist" crap.

Why Do Conservatives Hate Democracy?

The right wing flying-monkey-brigades have been whining ad nauseum about a 40 year old community organizing outfit called ACORN, who they claim this election year are systematically subverting the electoral process and democracy through "massive" voting fraud.

Of course, their dumb rube followers buy that horseshit hook line and sinker because poll after poll after poll suggests that this year's slate of sub-par GOP candidates is on the verge of getting their clocks cleaned in the coming election next week.

Here's a simple explanation of the difference between voting registration fraud and voting fraud. It's so simple that even your average Republican rube, without expending too many of their precious few brain cells, can understand it.

Voting "registration" fraud means registrars (usually paid workers) are not doing the job they were hired to do which is to collect and turn in valid voter registration forms. Instead because they're lazy, stupid, or whatever other dumb reason, they fill out the forms themselves with false/phony names addresses, etc and turn them in to meet their quota.

Let me put it in even more simplistic rube terms. Some ass-hat, minimum-wage paid registrar, who just wants to get a paycheck so he can buy some beer and cigarettes, turns in a bunch of voter registration forms with names like Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker Red, Tom Collins, Barney Fife, Billy Kidd, Ike Clanton, etc. The forms may also have equally fraudulent addresses such as 1313 Mockingbird Lane, 77 Sunset Blvd., etc. So -- follow along now -- the premise being promulgated by right-wing pundits is that somebody is actually going to show up at a voting station on election day, try to sign in using the name of Barney Fife, and the address of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and cast a ballot for an evil Democrat which will undermine the celestially chosen GOP candidate. If you believe that scenario, you not only deserve to be called a rube, you actually are more deserving of being called an insanely gullible fucking moron.

By law, in most states, voter registration outfits like ACORN are required to process and submit each and every form that is handed in to them from their registrars, regardless of whether they deem them problematic. And the simple truth is, the vast majority of these fraudulent registration forms are weeded out by a variety of checks and balances that are employed by your typical state elections apparatus. Actual voting fraud is rare for the simple reason that the penalty carries jail time and fines which is an unappealingly low-return for the crime committed. Thanks however to incessant whining and blatant lying on the part of GOP pundits and operatives, the crime of "voting fraud" has reached urban myth-like proportions amongst angst-ridden conservatives who are experiencing nightmarish visions of hordes of brown people taking over their country at every turn.

So it's no surprise hearing them whining and braying about voting fraud these past few weeks, especially considering the corrupt GOP is poised to be on the losing end of voter wrath come next Tuesday November 4th. This year, their manufactured bogey man of choice is ACORN. Big, bad, cheating (oh and mostly minority) ACORN.

Here's a dirty little secret though (secret to only the right-wing rubes because they're too fucking ignorant to get it or just dont' give a rat's ass) --- the absolute bulk of the valid voters who will have their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote disenfranchised on Tuesday will be minority Democrats. And that disenfranchisement will come at the hands of partisan, party officials in several states who will use every underhanded method known to electoral fraudsters since the art of election theft was invented. And their goal will be to prevent as many minorities and democrats from voting that they possibly can. What these people are doing is un-American, it's anti-democratic, and it's criminal.

If by some "miracle" McCain and Palin win on Tuesday, this country is in for some troubled times and 100% of the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of the ruthless democracy-hating pricks who, like their hero George W. Bush, believe the paper which our Constitution is written on is the equivalent of paper with which they can use to wipe their asses with. One thing's for certain -- Mussolini and Hitler would be proudly smiling up from hell.

Grand Old Propaganda . . .

Not that it'll convince the Murdoch sheep -- but this clip is just additional proof that the droning chant by the fork-tongued con artists at Fox News about their network being "Fair and Balanced" is the biggest, maggot-infested, steaming pile of bullshit around.

A "reputable" news organization wouldn't have been hyper-actively pimping the phony Ashley Todd story like Fox was if they weren't in the business of promoting a certain toxic political agenda. What's gotten less press, and yet is even more disturbing, are the reports alleging that a high-level Pennsylvania McCain campaign operative was actively shopping the story around before police had even finished their investigation into the incident. I think it's a fair indication of how sleazy and low the McCain/Palin camp will slink when they are caught red-handed desperately peddling tripe like this story to the mainstream press. And Faux News was an all too willing participant in that desperation.

Ultimately, I don't know why some people find the fact that Fox is a propaganda arm of the Republican party so hard to comprehend. Just accept it ok? The truth shall set you free!

Fair and Balanced My Ass!

Wow. What a rude, dissembling, and very annoying C*nt (yes, that's C*nt with a capital 'C'). Megyn Kelly earns her coveted little Rupert Murdoch brownie points in this clip. Beware -- watching it is the equivalent of lots of fingernails scraping across a chalkboard.

I think the well-paid borgs at Fox have so deluded themselves with their obnoxiously redundant "Fair and Balanced" mantra, they think just because a majority of their flesh-eating zombie viewers believe it, it must be true! Lol. I don't begrudge them their little GOP propaganda media outlet. Just stop with the fucking lying about being "Fair and Balanced." It really is as simple as that.

Bed-Wetting Nazis In Plot to Kill Obama . . .

I'm beginning to think that maybe we should keep Gitmo open after all. I think it would be a very nice place to house these intellectually-challenged, cowardly, America-hating freaks in.

The ATF, the law enforcement people who McCain pal G. Gordon Liddy says you should aim at their heads to kill them, breaks up a plot to assassinate Senator Barack Obama and murder innocent African-American high-school kids.

Sigh . . .

Another Republican Crook Bites The Dust . . .

Alaska GOP Senator Ted "Hulk" Stevens gets convicted on corruption charges. How bad was it? Unanimously guilty on all 7 counts.

Oh, and lest it be left unsaid, Stevens is BFF's with Sarah Palin. Why is Sarah Palin "palling around" with convicted felons? Just asking . . .

Who are the real socialists?

The introduction of Joe the Plumber (the guy who isn't really a plumber, who doesn't really earn $250k a year and who is nowhere near being able to buy his boss's business - he's actually somewhat of a bum) into our political discourse this past week is the latest outrage du jour that's causing veins to pop on conservative foreheads from sea to shining sea.

The McCainiacs and the Palinbots have taken to the streets, and to the airwaves and to the printed word, in a wild-eyed effort to use Joe the fake plumber as red white and blue proof that Barack Obama is a "socialist" intent on taking money from hard-working Joe's paycheck and redistribute it to the welfare queens and the illegal immigrants and the working poor democrats and deny Joe his chance at the American dream.

Aside from the laughable proposition that Joe and his new BFF's have probably had more money stolen from them just in the past month by the Wall Street embezzlers than could ever be trickled down in lifetime of incrementally increased payroll taxes, you really have to wonder whether they even have the slightest bit of intellectual acumen to understand what true socialism is.

My online dictionary defines "socialism" basically this way:

socialism

noun:
1. a political theory advocating state ownership of industry
2. an economic system based on state ownership of capital

Apparently our angst-ridden, perturbed conservative friends haven't yet to catch on that the largest socialist program ever to cut a swath across America's golden plains of capitalism has taken place not only in their lifetimes, but has actually occurred just in the past several weeks. I refer of course to the massive Wall Street and banking industry bailout that is putting a whole industry and a hefty sum of it's capital under state ownership. The only caveat for this socialism is that it benefits not Joe the plumber or Dan the dairy man, but instead financially props up those dregs of society named Rockefeller, Chase and Carnegie.

Honestly though, based on the gnashing of teeth and mindless accusations flying spittle-covered out of the mouths of conservatives, I am convinced that your average Joe the plumber or Dan the dairy man wouldn't know socialism if it walked up to him on the street and bitch-slapped him. The extent of their knowledge of socialism begins and ends with each of them red-faced, pointing fingers and screaming at the top of their lungs -- "Obama is a socialist." Their fire-breathing tirades aimed at the Illinois Senator are almost like watching old 1930's news reels of Nazi-instigated German bourgeois citizens screaming "Juden" while throwing bricks at the windows of Jew-owned businesses and dragging Jews out of their homes and business by the hair into the waiting arms of the Brownshirt thugs -- the same thugs who told them the Jews were the cause of their economic misery. What a sad spectacle.

Another fact that amuses me to no end about Joe and his friends' willful ignorance on this subject is that they have been told on many occasion by their political hero John McCain that he himself is a Teddy Roosevelt Republican. Well, if anything positive can be said at this stage about McCain it's that he is Rush Limbaugh smart, I'll give him that. He and his handlers certainly know how to appeal to the base instincts of the rubes on an emotional and anti-intellectual level. Of course, once again, if the rubes were to be plied with a modest dose of real facts, they'd probably think it some evil communist brain-washing tactic. Here's a few quotes from that great anti-socialist Teddy Roosevelt, that if one were to attribute them to Barack Obama, would likely cause the poor wingnut brains to explode en-masse:

"As a matter of personal conviction, and without pretending to discuss the details or formulate the system, I feel that we shall ultimately have to consider the adoption of some such scheme as that of a progressive tax on all fortunes..."

"The man of great wealth owes a peculiar obligation to the State, because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government."

"The inheritance tax . . . is both a far better method of taxation, and far more important for the purpose of having the fortunes of the country bear in proportion to their increase in size a corresponding increase and burden of taxation."

So, in a sense, it's kind of fun watching the wing-nuts twist themselves into pretzel shapes trying to deny reality and truth and instead embrace the emotional caterwauling of their political puppet masters. What's not fun is watching a proud nation devolve into a state of affairs where a large percentage of the populace embraces neo-fascist ideals compounded by hatred and willful ignorance. It does not bode well for the long-term survival of our democracy.

Broken Minds & Souls = A Broken Society . . .

To me, the craziest part of this interview isn't the thick-headed woman expressing her repugnant, ass-backwards religious views and her thinly-veiled bigotry. I've come to expect that from these revolting people.

Actually, I was more awestruck that the meek, obviously whipped husband sat there silently while his wife tells a nation-wide television audience that if he isn't considering voting for her chosen presidential candidate, there is something wrong with him and he is therefore an inferior human being who's tortured soul is in need of a biblical intervention. What a pitiable sight.
