“We have Saddam Hussein,” declared billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, apparently referring to President Barack Obama as he welcomed hundreds of wealthy guests to the latest of the secret fundraising and strategy seminars he and his brother host twice a year. The 2012 elections, he warned, will be “the mother of all wars.”

Charles and David Koch are co-owners of Koch Industries, an energy and chemical conglomerate inherited from their father that is currently America’s second-largest privately held company. To date, the brothers have spent more than $100 million supporting hard-right political campaigns and institutions. They are key funders of the movement to discredit climate science and sow doubt on the scientific consensus that human activities contribute to global warming.

The Kochs also bankrolled the fledgling tea party by making massive investments in right-wing political advocacy groups such as Americans for Prosperity, as detailed by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker last year. More generally, the brothers have dedicated a portion of their vast wealth?and that of their benefactors?to influencing elections across the nation and swaying public opinion on everything from health care and fracking to labor policy and government spending.

MMFA: Right-wing bloggers misled by dishonest Fox News video editing are attacking Teamsters President James Hoffa for supposedly urging violence against Tea Party activists during a Labor Day speech. Conservatives are also attacking President Obama, who appeared at the event, for “sanctioning violence against fellow Americans” by failing to denounce Hoffa. But fuller context included in other Fox segments makes clear that Hoffa wasn’t calling for violence but was actually urging the crowd to vote out Republican members of Congress.

Sumter, South Carolina, Tea Party chair Sherry Lanford Smith — On Aug. 11, Smith wrote(joked) about killing President and Mrs Obama by throwing them out of a helicopter.

She wrote on her FaceBook Page:

“Obama looked at Michelle, chuckled and said, ‘You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.’

Michelle shrugged her shoulders and replied, ‘I could throw 10 $100 bills out of the window and make 10 people very happy.’

“Hearing their exchange, the pilot of the plane said to his co-pilot, ‘Such big shots back there.

I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy.’

“If you’re one of the 256 million, PASS IT ON.”

Worst Persons: Why Roger Ailes from “Fixed” News is WORSE, Gov. Jan Brewer from Arizona is WORSER, and Tea Party chair Sherry Lanford Smith is the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD for August 23, 2011.

Yet another proof of Tea-Bagger racism. The “Take Back Our White Country” disease infected the far right faction of the Republican party back in 2008, climaxing at exactly 12:01 on the afternoon of January 20, 2009, when Obama was sworn in.

Since then, the white American mind has become totally dis-located from the neck. The racism that the candidacy of McCain and Palin unleashed on America — percolates in the veins of racist whites like molten lava.

   Charles and David Koch
Koch Industries, the international conglomerate owned by Charles and David Koch, is not only the second largest private company in America, it is the most politically active. Koch groups have spent tens of millions to influence government policy — from financing the Tea Parties, to funding junk academic studies, to undisclosed attack ads against Democrats, to groups promoting climate change denial, to a large network of state-based and national think tanks.

Charles Koch portrays himself as simply an ideological advocate, and says his money to political groups is only meant to “enhance true economic freedom.” He chides special interests that have “successfully lobbied for special favors,” claiming “crony capitalism is much easier than competing in an open market.” But in reality, the focus of the Koch political machine is geared towards “crony capitalism” — corrupting government to make Charles and his brother David Koch richer. Koch’s Tea Party libertarianism is actually a thin veneer for the company’s long running history of winning special deals from the government and manipulating the market to pad Koch profits

Democrats face a tough election in 2012. Voters’ focus will probably still be on jobs and the Affordable Health Care Act.

But their decisions on these and others will be influenced by how people see the President from a morality and character perspective.

Obama has been down in the polls for ages now and the new Congressional line up is unlikely to help change the public’s perception. Most of the their angst is based on genuine disagreement with his policies. But not all; a good percentage of the negativity has been artificially generated by the Tea Party and Fox News. Racism is behind much of this and getting it on the table now will refocus the public’s view of the President.

Tea Baggers have been attacking the President like packs of geriatric Hells Angels almost from the day he was sworn in. What they did triggered a virtual racist uprising that targets the man more than his policies. Gang members are white, middle to upper class and all of them are Conservatives.

Fox — The Most Biased Name in News

Republican | Tea-Party Racism

It is disingenuous to say that race plays no part in this. Conservatives disagree, “This is what Liberals always do; use racism as an excuse for failed policies.” They should look at the evidence: an African American President is elected; an organization dedicated to his downfall is formed; millions of members are almost exclusively white; false rumors based on racial stereotyping are spread; millions more choose to accept the rumors as true; virtually all are white. “If it looks like a duck ? well you get the idea.”

“Change we can believe in.” was not what people satisfied with the status quo wanted to hear. Their first reaction was fear, a paralyzing dread that their perfect, privileged little worlds were under threat.

But now they had a problem — how to vent their hatred at Obama without showing their true racist colors. But they needn’t have worried, right wing pros were waiting in the wings. Operatives from Freedom Works and Americans for Prosperity gave them the answer and it was simple: start rumors and use these as surrogates — they could beat on them all day and no one would be the wiser.

This explains why Tea Party types ignore facts and reason when confronted with the silliness of their accusations. Reason — they don’t need no reason! They are on a mission to get the man no matter what it takes and if bearing false witness is what it takes (something that should bother Tea Party types — but doesn’t), so be it. Armed with plausible denial they are all but bullet proof from charges of racism.

Tea-Party Morons & Dummies

The Tea Party and Conservative media have been dating from day one. Rumor mongering has been one of their favorite pastimes with Rush Limbaugh coming along as their creativity coach. Rumors that President Obama is a Moslem masquerading as a Christian who was born in Kenya and is living in the United States as an illegal alien is their best work so far with “death panels” coming in a close second.

As promised by Freedom Works, the rumors they spread as proxies for their fear and distrust of black people are working like a dream. They can shout, beat their chests or scream epithets if they want to — and they do. Incredibly millions believe them, no questions asked. Things like where they came from, some evidence or why they were not discovered during the campaign; are just not important to them.

Ignoring the damage rumors have done now that they are mostly out of the news would be a mistake — the connection between how people view the President and how they view his policies is too strong. Unless the link between racism and rumors is established people will continue to view the President through a lens crafted by his enemies.

By attacking the rumors as nothing more than proxies for racism and charging Tea Baggers with fomenting a racist uprising against the President, they will be the ones with a character issue — not the President. Some voters might see it this way: “I’m not a fan of how Obama has managed the economy, but I don’t want to vote for a Tea Party candidate (Sarah Palin for example) if she’s holding hands with racists.”

Many unethical people have done tremendous damage to a President who has more intelligence, competence and plain honesty than America has seen in a President for decades. The country voted this man into office to bring about change, a task he is faithfully carrying out, and should not have their decision vetoed by the bigotry of people who will always yearn for the past at the expense of the future.

It’s hopeless! One whole year of vicious tea-bagging is sliding into the sewer …where it belongs! They can smell defeat coming — and are preparing lawsuits to challenge the healthcare legislation. Reports indicate that Republican state leaders in Idaho are preparing to go to court to fight it. Gov. Butch Otter signed the Idaho Health Freedom Act on Wednesday in his first public bill signing of the 2010 session. Yes, Idaho — a snake pit of some of the most venomous, poisonous, racist whites in the whole of America.

Reports from elsewhere, indicate that an army of Republican lawyers are conducting research and drafting arguments for lawsuits that could be filed within days or weeks, particularly if House leaders decide to go forward with a “deem & pass” rule that would not permit a freestanding vote on the Senate-passed health care reform bill.

The psychos are jittery too: Minnesota Congresswoman, Michele Bachmann has called for Speaker Pelosi’s impeachment — she told Fox News’ syphilitic LIAR, Sean Hannity, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be “laughed out of the House.”

Over at the dog-eater’s blog, Michelle Malkin has installed a picture of Speaker Pelosi smeared with “dog blood,” ….I hope it is not from the dog she ate for supper last night.

Deluded “Voting Female” is adamant — hoping against hope, that Pelosi doesn’t get the votes to pass the bill on Sunday.

Listen SHIT-FACE….It’s over! CHANGE has come to America!

   Nancy Pelosi – one of the strongest and most effective speakers of the house in decades!
