If proof ever existed that the Republican party is now the Neo-Nazi party of the United States of America -- please explain an alternative view of what this dysfunctional Republican Congresswoman bimbo is saying. No fucking spin.

American Brown Shirts In Action . . .

Not content to allow the Justice Department controlled by their own party to determine whether the community organizing group ACORN has actually committed any crimes or not, the right-wing goose-steppers have deemed it their role to mete out their own warped brand of justice.

When it comes right down to it, these yellow-belly cowards, who anonymously threaten peoples lives and commit property crimes in the dead of night are really the lowest form of citizen in this country. They are absolutely a throw-back to the Nazi Brownshirts of pre-war Germany just as Hitler was coming into power. They are not Americans and I would go so far as to say they are Terrorists who should probably be warming a plot of cement in a place called Guantanamo Bay.

They are the poster children for self-pitying losers the world over. They can't win the hearts and minds of the American people on the merits of their ideas and vision, so instead they throw tantrums, verbally express their hateful fantasies in public rallies and online, intimidate and threaten those they disagree with, and engage in violent crimes against property as a means of demonstrating their rage at their perceived persecutors.

What a sorry ass lot they all are.

Of Nuts and Dolts . . .

Aside from the crankyness, the bluster and the all-too obvious snearing disdain for Senator Obama, there was one thing more than anything that McCain said in last night's debate that had me initially scratching my head only to slowly realize the idiocy of it which then pushed me into full-gale laughter.

McCain stated that the community outreach program ACORN "is now on the verge of maybe perpetuating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."

It was like getting smashed in the head with the stupid sledge-hammer. Took me a full minute to realize what McCain was saying.

And once I figured it out, imagine my surprise to find out that our vaunted Democracy's number one imminent ("on the verge") threat is not Osama Bin-Laden, it's not Al-Qaeda, it's not Islamo-fascism (whatever the fuck that is). Hell, it's not even the den of thieving robber barons on Wall Street who've fleeced the country and left us all sitting on the stoop of the poor house. Nope -- John McCain states that our Democracy is "on the verge" of being destroyed by a group of American community organizers because they dare involve themselves in the godawful activity of assisting poor and lower middle income Americans to participate in this anti-democratic activity called "voting." The HORROR!!

With an expansive program such as they have, there's bound to be some shenanigans here and there and there absolutely have been a few isolated cases where ACORN paid canvassers have been prosecuted for voter REGISTRATION fraud. In those cases, ACORN has publicly supported the investigations of employees submitting fraudulent voter registration information, has fired them if evidence supports the charges, and has stated its concern with false information on registration forms. ACORN has been cooperative in these investigations.

Now here's the kicker, ACORN has been doing this kind of voter outreach work for more than 35 years --- why all of a sudden are they an imminent threat to "the fabric of democracy?" Gee -- is it possible it could have anything to do with the fact that the GOP is staring down the gun barrel of an electoral massacre in 3 short weeks?? Nawww --- they aren't that cynical are they? And now comes news that the FBI has leaked a story about an investigation of ACORN, virtually on the eve of the election. One of the Republican U.S. Attorneys fired by that corrupt little toad Alberto Gonzalez in the U.S. Attorney purge scandal, David Iglesias of New Mexico, states this development is pure politics, "a scare tactic," and smacks of the same unethical Justice Department politicization that got him and and several other Republican U.S. Attorneys sacked.

Ultimately, it's an eye-opening indication of how desperate the Republican thugs are. The American people aren't responding to their gutter politics and are threatening to hold the Republican party , their President and their Presidential candidate accountable for the current sad state of affairs in this country on November 4th.

Mark my words -- if the GOP is somehow able to steal this election for McCain/Palin, look to see these ACORN investigations slowly fade from view post-election. It's how they usually end up. Pretty pathetic.

O.H.I.O. = Oh so Hateful In Ohio . . .

Speaks for itself. But if you need some assistance figuring it out, here you go:



Obviously not all Ohioans are as ignorant and hatefully bigoted as these haystacks are, so the intent is not to broadbrush paint all of them with that charge. Point being, there are plenty of these small-minded goobers all over this country and they really need to be shamed either into irrelevant obscurity or into changing there 18th century ways of thinking. Regardless, they are an embarrasment to the rest of the world who look to this country as a shining example of the world's premier democracy.

John McCain Takes A Ride in The Wayback Machine . . .

Jon Stewart does the media's supposed job by calling bullshit when he sees it, and he should be thanked for it. It's a pretty sad statement on the quality of our mainstream press/media when a cable tv comedian has to point out the obvious snow job being foisted on the American people. What a sorry fucking embarrassment our national media is - truly. I too saw the "new" McCain speech on an internet news clip and experienced the same confused, deja vu feeling Jon Steward did.

Anyhow, if it weren't so sad, it would be some knee-slapping funny shit.

Palin's Alaska Abuse of Power . . . Proving Her GOP Credentials It Seems . . .

In the wake of yesterday's report released by the Alaska Legislative Council, which found that Sarah Palin had violated state ethics laws and abused her power by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the McCainiacs and the Palinbots are spinning their wheels furiously today in a vain attempt to paint the investigation as a political (partisan) witch hunt.

To the McCain/Palin brain-dead followers, no doubt that argument will resonate profoundly -- although it's not entirely unexpected from people who've hypnotized themselves into believing that Barack Obama is a stealth Muslim terrorist.

Therefore it goes without saying that the McCain/Palin campaign knows they can count on their zombies to blame the media and the evil Liberals (Democrats) for this report and so they are all too happy to oblige them with statements like this one from a McCain spokesman:

"I think the American people can tell the difference between the results of a politically motivated investigation and a legitimate finding of fact," campaign spokesman Taylor Griffin said.

But facts are pesky things folks - and there are a few facts which completely shred the ridiculous partisan accusations -- not unlike the way the buckshot from Dick Cheney's birdgun shredded his shooting buddy's face in the infamous Elmer Fudd "hunting" incident.

Anyhow -- the facts I'm referring to are these:

1. The Alaska Legislative Council opened this probe in June of this year - a full 4 months before McCain tapped Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate and before anyone even knew who the hell she was. Palin at that time agreed to cooperate fully with the probe. However, once she became McCain's VP pick, they began stonewalling the investigation, all to no avail though as the Alaska Judicial system turned down all of their pleas to quash the probe and report.

2. The Alaska Legislative Council is made up of 12 members from the Alaska House and Senate. 10 of those members are Republicans. 2 are Democrats.

3. The report released yesterday was done so unanimously by the Council on a 12-0 vote.

So - in essence -- if you are of the belief, as the McCain/Palin people want you to be, that this investigation was an evil partisan Democrat exercise, you must be willing to concede then, that the 10 Republican lawmakers on the Council are all either traitors to their party or all have some unknown personal grudge against Sarah Palin. And that's what it boils down to -- believing in the unbelievable.

Frankly, I'm sick and fucking tired --- tired! of the no-accountability-ever people who permeate the ranks of the Republican party. And they wonder why they are staring straight into the barrel of an electoral drubbing cannon come November.

Maybe instead of blaming the media and liberals for this Palin debacle, you all ought to blame the real villains --- the right-wing, fundamentalist nutjobs who convinced McCain and his people that picking a no-name, inexperienced, not very bright, fundamentalist christian tool (who happened also to be a woman) as a running mate was a marvelous idea.

But that would bring us back full circle to the accountability issue then wouldn't it? And god knows we can't have the Republicans and conservatives show weakness by actually accepting accountability for their own actions now can we? C'est la vie.

Fox News -- GOP Zombie HQ . . .

I tune in occasionally to Fox News, if for anything, just to keep current on the latest lies and smears they have going on. Truth be told though, a 5-minute Fox watching session is a journey into darkness which slaughters more of my brain cells en-masse than any tequila bender ever could. Therefore I am very careful to limit my intake of that toxic poison (Fox, not tequila) with the utmost concern for my mental health.

Jon Stewart knows what I'm talking about and describes it in this clip.

Plowing Thru the Right-Wing Bullshit

The man who lead the prosecution to put William Ayers' and his old radical 60's/70's group The Weathermen in prison says the GOP attempts to directly link Obama to Ayers and his anti-establishment activities of 40 years ago is a big steaming, putrid pile of bullshit.

And the coup de grace of the whole sordid smear mission is that it turns out that the reason the prosecution of Ayers and The Weathermen failed was "because of illegal activities, including wiretaps, break-ins and mail interceptions, initiated by John N. Mitchell, attorney general at that time, and W. Mark Felt, an F.B.I. assistant director." In other words -- Tricky Dick Nixon's Republican dirty tricks squad ruined it.

Of course, facts are not something McCain/Palin and their bug-eyed zombie followers care a whit for, so don't expect any change in strategy in their campaigning. They will continue to stir up their goose-stepping rubes, sowing them with unfounded fear with the hoary tale of Obama's terrorist "pal." And they do so very simply because they are shameless liars and desperate whores whose lust for power is insatiable and amidst the throes of their lusting -- the truth be god-damned.

Parade of Ugly Americans . . .

While the very extreme fringes of the left have their idiot nutcases who entirely deserve to be ignored and marginalized, the fact of the matter is they have very little influence much less operational control over the mainstream progressive/liberal movement.

On the other hand, the brain-dead fascists and the lunatics shown in this video clip comprise the heart and soul of your modern day Republican party. They are the so-called "base" of the GOP.

These people remind me of the hell-rejected zombies in George Romero's landmark horror movie Dawn of The Dead --- lifeless, dead souls, aimlessly and bitterly wandering America's landscapes, desperately searching for some normal human being who has yet to succumb to the evil to attack and rip apart and devour. They really are some sad, pathetic, ignorant sons of bitches and I, for better or worse, cannot bring myself to feel any empathy with or for them. Once again as mentioned in a previous post, I can only feel shame knowing that these individuals claim to represent this great country of ours while simultaneously claiming sole ownership of the act of national patriotism.

In reality, they are, to put it bluntly, the mirror opposite of all that is good about America and it's citizens and they need to be told so by everyone who values concepts like fairness, honesty, civility, freedom of expression, constitutional law, compassion (not the conservative kind), and respect for all human life -- not just the "Murrikan" kind.

Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down . . .

I've never been a huge fan of Kris Kristofferson's music - probably more of a fan of his acting outings to be honest. But there have been a few songs he's done over the years that I've liked. Here's one that is an apt metaphor for the dreadful times we are living in.

Dedicated to any and all who aren't afraid to speak up and publicly voice their opinions -- and to question authority -- even while being labled a traitor and a terrorist lover and an America hater. The accusers fear the truth. It's the one weapon they have no defense for. Stand firm, stand together -- and fight back.
