I haven't had to suppress this much internal rage in years...

[Blue_Tires]

99.9 percent of the time I just ignore Beck, but this political rally happily using the shield of MLK's legacy is pissing me off...

I guess I'm sort of torn on what to do or how to feel...I know he's only doing this to bait and taunt people, but I feel strange just doing nothing and letting it pass...:puke:

1. Chill, Babykins, Chill.

Has anyone else found it strange that "Kenny," the guy who NOBODY KNOWS what his stance is, union member, ground zero worker who came damn near getting mobbed by some rabid folk at a rally, has NOT had a mic stuck up in his face? :rofl::shrug::rofl:

And how 'bout that Shirley, eh? Her MSNBS press conference with Vilsack got little to NO PLAY in these parts.

She cracked me up when she said, "I know there are new systems in place, I don't wanna be the one to test them."

As for Glenn's gambit while the crazies up north are demanding "sensitivity," satire, irony, snark... ALL DEAD. Let them DO IT.
That such a clown is ABLE to pull off this debacle speaks to the responsibility Americans have taken for their "democracy."
"You Amis" :freak: don't get it yet. :evilgrin: Rwanda. Joe Pyne. You go throwing the N-word about willy-nilly in my neighborhood yo jenky ass will wind up in front of a judge. I have NO PROBLEM with that.

I swear y'all, this life is upside down and inside out on bad acid and out-dated steroids.

2. Are you close enough to go to the rally and throw a tomato at Beck?

That would make me feel better. :)

3. Upon further reflection...

and after having read a few articles on what Beck and Palin are doing at this rally, I have to agree with your "internal rage." I'm feeling pretty rage-filled myself right now.

4. Friend of mine went today ...

... part of a counter-protest.

He said it was the most boring damn thing he'd been to since he was forced to go to a "revival" meeting many years ago put on by white Baptists.

That's apparently basically what it was ... a white people's revival meeting of the variety that took place from the late 19th century through, well, now ... the kind that tried to deny that black people could read or had any independent thoughts at all, but they brought up black people and women to the stage, introduced them as a part of their "movement," then talked over them to maintain their superiority.

But here's the thing. Beck is a shock jock. That's what he was before he went to Fox. He was bad at it, but he figured out a way to make it translate to mainstream "news," the kind that would only work with a network like Fox.

So I dunno what to say. He wants to be Father Coughlin. He wants to be him to make money, and he will be him just by saying all that racist shit he keeps saying, and it will make him money because this country continues to be populated by racist bastards.

Fuck 'im.

5. I felt the same way this weekend. The little snippet I saw was

absolutely horrible. That Palin woman saying Dr. King would be so proud, put me in a violent mood. Every now and then I just have to say out loud...I wanna whoop her ass!

Fuck those people.

6. Seeing these RW hypocrites

hiding their hatred and ignorance, not very well at that, behind MLK's legacy is just disgusting. It's just nothing to do with civil rights, it's bunch of RW racists upset that a black man is President.
