Misinformation, Fear, And Hate In America



The GOP and the Right Wing Media, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, et al, have been propagating a campaign of irrational fear and hate against President Barak Obama since 2007. These devious and dishonest attacks are designed to delegitimize the Presidency of Barak Obama, and to characterize him as; the other, foreign, un-American, non-Christian, and alien. He has been called socialist, communist, fascist, The New Hitler, Marxist, Stalinist, Muslim, African Anti- Colonialist, Anti-Christ, baby killer, gay lover, uppity, The Food Stamp President, and n!@@&r. The base of the GOP is clearly without any morality, their claim to Jesus and God rings hallow as they practice Anti-Christ in the name of Jesus. Their base constituency has been duped with fear, into a position of unfounded distrust and hate. In their fevered zealotry, they express a fanatical willingness to vote against their own self interest. The Conservatives have been conquered, their party has been taking over by the Corporatist, in a pact with the Theocrats, and the Objectivist. Watch this video in it's entirety, and then tell me how anyone with a modicum of intelligence, or any degree of honesty, could vote for a Republican.

"I don't agree with all the people who support me, and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in, but I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people." - Mitt Romney

Think about it.

They could have been talking about our first Hawaiian President and spending time walking the beach barefoot here:

But just because they HATE Democrats they chose to talk about the Chicago part of his life and spent the winter filling their shoes with slush.

That video was almost too much for me to bear. So many bigoted, racist, ignorant people that
hate the President, and by extension me, because of the color of our skin.

I am very seriously struggling to resist the very real temptation to go out and purchase a firearm and
much ammunition while I still can. I'm sure the temptation will pass after I sleep on it, but right now I'm
thinking "self preservation is the first rule of survival".

Damn. That video really hurt my heart.

reason with them. They are both in a union and want California to be a right to work state. When you ask them to define what right to work is they can't answer but say it will be better than a union. They live out in the suburbs and get the rush/hannity/beck/savage hate fest on their commutes and this steady diet has so brainwashed them they lost reason. And their idiocy is astounding.
