‘I don’t mean that has to reduce your ferocity, I just mean to say you have to be respectful.’

That’s what John McCain told a supporter at a rally in Minnesota where right wing nuts were calling for Obama’s head on a platter.

Lakeville Minnesota has always been a center of higher learning. The late Johnny Carson did his character Floyd R. Turbo, the ignorant racist duck hunter whose political views were to the right of Genghis Kahn, based on some of the people of Lakeville.

This was a high point of the entire election campaign.

Respectful ferocity?

A supporter, a woman, said Obama is an ‘Arab.’

To his credit, McCain disagreed that Obama is an Arab.

Here is a partial list of epithets Obama was called at the rally. Pervert, socialist, communist, asshole, frekazoid, mother..fuc.’er, traitor, dip-shit, jungle bunny, communist queer coon, Obie the monkey, darkee, and Senator Jerk Off.

Here’s how McCain responds to each one.

‘You can call him a pervert, but we should respect differences in sexual orientation.’

‘You can call him a socialist, but I think he’s a decent sort of fellow. For a black man.’

‘You can call him an asshole, but I don’t think you should do it when I’m around.’

‘Let’s hang him!’ Members of the crowd chant. ‘Lynch the communist nigger!’

McCain calls for calm. ‘You don’t have to lessen the intensity of your feelings. But I don’t think we should hang him.’
‘He’s a member of a mud race,’ another supporter calls.

‘Please,’ McCain chides. ‘How can a person be made of mud? Now, I know you all are patriots, but let’s channel our energy in a more positive light.’

The crowd boos McCain.

‘Wait a minute!’ McCain calls. ‘I just think that words like darkee, and communist, and Arab and traitor, and Senator Jerk Off, while there may be some validity to them. Well, I think some of them may be counter-productive. That’s all.’
The crowd hisses.

A woman screams, ‘that no-good sonofabitch (Obama) wants to teach my three-year-old daughter sex education.’

‘You see! You see!’ McCain happily calls. ‘There we go. We should focus on the issues like that rather than on personality things. I mean, calling Obama a jungle bunny. I know that your anger is there because you disagree with Mister Obama and his policies that he has proposed. I know that you feel let down by things that are happening. But we need to get our message out in a way that resonates with voters. I wouldn’t call Mister Obama a jungle bunny. I would refer to him as a LIBERAL NEGRO.’

G8 leaders enjoy 18-course meal as they discuss “how to solve the global food crisis.”

The leaders of the richest nations of the world sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at the G8 summit in Japan to discuss world hunger.

   [Enlarge Image]

The dinner and lunch included:

1. Caviar,
2. Milkfed lamb,
3. Sea urchin and tuna,
4. Champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.
5…..and a lot more

The extravagance of the menus drew disapproval from critics who thought it hypocritical to produce such a lavish meal when world food supplies are under threat, and some parts of Africa are so war ravaged that famine is killing thousands of Human Beings daily:

Bush and company would rather lie themselves into fighting the “Oil Wars,” to promote “Peace” and “Democracy,” while conveniently forgetting that the real “humanitarian” war should be fought in places like Darfur, in the Sudan — where Arab tribes have been slaughtering black Africans mercilessly, with the help of the Arab dominated Sudanese government.

The G8 summit is a colossal waste of time.

It is nothing but an expensive “Country-Club” meeting place of “Golfing-Buddies,” where they discuss who to fleece next or who to “bomb” next or who to “sanction” next.

The “aid” that the G8 group provides Africa, for instance, is largely wasted by the numerous NGO’s “accompanying” the aid — the NGO officials live “rich” in Africa, waste resources and in many cases have been known to share the “loot” with corrupt African leaders.

Don’t get me wrong — there a many credible charities doing great work in Africa.

If it’s not these NGO’s, then it’s the World Bank or the IMF — imperialist tools which have been used for many years to “control” corrupt African governments. Add these two organizations to badly managed African governments and you have the potent-mix that has crippled many economies in Africa.

Helen Caldicott states in her book titled — “If You Love This Planet:”

Africa needs to wake up and “feed itself” — these frequent G8 “photo-ops” and grand “gastronomic extravaganzas” have never been in Africa’s best interests!.

You know what bothers me, apart from the ethics, who’s right and who’s wrong? (America is always right, right or wrong).

America only attacks small, poor countries. Look at the list of our opponents over the past thirty years or so, Vietnam, Granada, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Balkans, Lebanon, and Cuba (oops, we didn’t attack Cuba, we almost did).

Always in the name of freedom.

It makes me yearn for World War Two, the good war, where we fought competent powerful enemies worthy of the name. Now, I know because we’re America we’re always right no matter what. I know we have right on our side in every case. That we’re infallible, incapable of error.

But do we always have to fight countries much smaller than ourselves?

This will get me labeled as unpatriotic, and not one of the my-country-right-or-wrong-God-likes-me-and-not-you crowd. But it makes me uncomfortable that we’re always beating up (in the name of right) on poor small countries, countries whose gross national product is a fraction of our own.

These are people who don’t have refrigerators like we do.

To be invaded by the United States, you have to be small, poor, and have no navy and no air force like we do.

We never take on big countries like China.

Here’s a partial list of countries that because of their size and poverty can consider themselves under risk of attack from Bombs Away John McCain if they don’t conform to the American lifestyle, and fail to provide us with raw materials, or do what we want when we want, or pattern themselves after us, or seek nuclear power (that right is reserved for America and its friends like India).

And most of all, not attack their neighbors. The right to attack is reserved for America. Here’s the list:

Chad â?? This tiny Central African country, named for a voting stub (chad), would be easy for the United States to defeat. Hell, they don’t have anything except sand and flies. In fact, their chief commodity export are gnats.

Switzerland â?? If we run out of milk, we know where we can get it (lots of cows). The only problem here are the mountains (we have specialized troops that can climb those), and the sexy blondes in the villages who might prove a distraction. It can be overcome by our modern technology.

Yemen â?? This is a plumb ready for the taking. Think of it. Oil rich. On the ocean where the Red Sea meets the Arabian Sea. Beautiful waterfront condos overlooking the sea. Prime real estate. No air force to speak of. Navy? Can Arabs sail? Hell no. The only problem is, it’s a republic. That’s okay, we can blame 9-11 on ‘em. Yemen has another advantage. Many different tribes. We can get them to warring with each other.

Djibouti â?? Another Arab country in the Horn of Africa. Once again, potential oil and ocean views. We could overrun them in three days. It’s a Moslem country so this would figure in with our remaking the Middle East. But the main reason is it would give our hip soldiers (who love slang) the chance to wear tee shirts that say, “you bet Djibouti (your booty).”

Netherlands Antilles â?? This tiny island off the coast of Venezuela, I can’t think of one good reason to invade. Except maybe, it’s close to South America and would give us more of a presence there. We’ve always tried to boss South America.

This is only a partial list.

There are many more such countries that can be taught freedom.
