As the nation reels from the shocking news that the Congresswoman from Arizona, Blue Dog Democrat Gabrielle Giffords and others were shot (5 killed, one a small child) outside a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz., while holding a public event, internet rabble is already casting the blame on our nations notorious fear-mongers.
But the witch can only take credit her little death panel (and fostering racial hatred and FEAR in Arizona). But Brewer did actually give a heart-felt press conference for her friend Gabrielle, which made me realize that she is, surprisingly, a warm blooded creature like the rest of us. I only wish she felt as deeply for poor Arizona residents who only needed her signature for life-saving transplants.

Mike Huckabee, gearing up for a second ill-fated run for President has been demonizing the Health Care bill and following fellow republicans working for repeal. But its the hyperbolic language he uses, claiming Americans were "kicking and screaming" that they didn't want it, but Congress jammed it through anyway. This is a lie because only the easily misled Tea Party morons didn't want a better health care system - the rest of us did, and still do. And as Rachel Maddow pointed out just last night, the republican repeal effort is an embarassment and political suicide. So long Huckabee, you would have lost anyway. But the rage and paranoia that Huckabee fosters with images of back-room deals harming Americans is also a dog-whistle to the unhinged among us, most packing guns and bibles. |
Glenn Beck, formerly everyone's favorite crying clown before our new Speaker Boehner took the crown.
Wake up, America. We can no longer allow the Palin's and Beck's and Huckabee's of our country to subvert our democracy by stirring up the toothless and brainless masses, while giving the finger to science, all to further the interests of corporate plutocrats who don't give a rat's ass about the forward progress of America. They don't care about climate change. They don't care about children with cancer. They only care about themselves, money, and power. Keeping Americans afraid and stupid is how they maintain control. Glenn Beck must be removed from the airwaves - go to StopBeck.com and join the fight to end his career now before more people die. Sarah Palin must not be allowed to escape from the reality-TV box she's climbed into. And Mike Huckabee must be made as politically viable a Presidential candidate as Haley (long live the confederacy) Barbour. ~
