On The Rush Limbaugh Show, Mark Davis accused President-elect Barack Obama of choosing an “amnesty fetishist” in his appointment of Cecilia Muñoz, of the National Council of La Raza. But contrary to Davis’ suggestion, Muñoz and NCLR’s position in support of comprehensive immigration reform is far from radical, and shared in principle by members of Congress from both parties and by President Bush.

….and here is another right-wing bigot playing the “Slavery Card“

While discussing potential Republican outreach efforts toward African-Americans during the November 14 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, guest host Jason Lewis stated: “This whole notion of taxing — taxing America’s labor — you know, I don’t know how else you describe what this sordid experience of slavery was when you take away somebody’s ability to engage in the marketplace with the fruits of their labor.” Lewis later added: “We need to go into the African-American community there on cultural issues. And they should be there on taxes, because they know what it’s like to have to work for free. And during the times of slavery, we targeted black folks. Well, now I guess it’s OK to target wealthy folks. Either way, you’re taking something that doesn’t belong to you.”

My question is: Who should be playing the “Slavery Card“, ME a black man or some white right-wing RACIST, who is enjoying the fruits of 400+ years UNPAID black slave labor, in the United States? WHO?

Right-Wing Republicans have this nauseating tendency of playing some weird form of victim hood — stealth propaganda very similar to Hitler’s Nazism, in the hope that the “White Masses” will rise and fight a fictitious and cooked-up enemy,….and they are very good at it. Fabricationists and Distortionists thrive in the Republican world of GOD, GUNS, BACKWARDNESS and HOMELAND SECURITY – a quagmire of bitterness, bigotry and vicious “Neanderthal racism.”

In an Amazon book review, John Moe writes: Conservative talk show hosts and newspaper columnists have made an industry out of incessantly deriding the American left, citing liberals for everything from moral decay to bad economic policy to a soft approach on terrorism. Often these accusations are bound in book form and sell quite well. Only one problem: the charges they’re leveling just aren’t true. In Big Lies, author Joe Conason dissects 10 of the most persistent, and–according to him–glaringly incorrect, arguments made by conservatives. Each chapter begins with a quotation (“Liberals control the media and misuse their influence to promote left-wing politics,” “Conservatives are the only true champions of free enterprise”), which is then picked apart using statistical evidence and detailed historical research and rejected. The modern right wing, in the opinion of Conason, is not the bastion of virtue and defender of the common man it claims to be. Rather, it is a calculating and shrewdly efficient group of propagandists fueled by revenues generated by a system that rewards cronyism. Granted, it doesn’t take much to deflate the bombast of shrill political talk show hosts whose very living depends on making shocking accusations about public figures, a couple of raw facts usually does the trick, but Conason offers more than simple refutation, going deeper to challenge the presumptions that generate such platitudes. And he navigates a highly readable and informative writing style that feels more substantive than Molly Ivins and Al Franken but still a lot wittier than Noam Chomsky. [See: Propaganda & Control of the Public Mind] Many of Conason’s arguments, like those of his foes, naturally come down to matters of opinion, and published material can readily be found to back up nearly any perspective. Nonetheless, he presents clear and logical points, and his thinking is well supported by both the historical record and empirical data. Accusing Joe Conason of lies (of any size) would certainly be a difficult task.

Right-Wing radio which flourished during the Clinton/Lewinsky years is killing the GOP, so indicates Michael Medved, a GOP NUTBAG himself.

Says Medved: “….if the new president makes credible efforts to govern from the center, then talk radio can’t afford long-term marginalization as a sulking, sniping, angry irrelevancy. It makes no sense to react with pre-emptive rage (and an odd obsession over Obama’s birth certificate) ….”

Donofrio v. Wells — A non-American President?

Yes, the GOP is quickly becoming an “angry irrelevancy,” — drop in the “Sarah Palin dimension” and the the ReTHUGlican Party slides a confused mix of GOD, STUPIDITY, GUNS and “MOOSE-TURKEY” ADDICTED COMEDIANS.

A quagmire of GAY BASHING nincompoops, led by the Saxby Chambliss anointed Psycho-Bomb, Sarah Palin.

Bob Cesca sums up the Republican morass quite nicely: “Right now, the Republicans have an exorcist, a Bush, a turkey geeker who makes people explode, and Newt, who, by the way, wrote a book imagining if the South had won the Civil War. If these cable reality show misfits represent the future of the Republican Party, it’s going to be a seriously entertaining four years.” — [ READ MORE ]

LOL!

I strongly agree.

Prop 8 — The Musical
