Columnist – John Sammon
That angry man who stood up in the audience at the John McCain rally a few weeks back and said, ‘I’m mad, I’m really mad. The socialists are taking over.’
He lectured McCain to shut up and let him finish. Even McCain backed off.
I have no doubt the guy is really mad. He thinks his world is crumbling around him. His white-only world.
When he said ’socialists’ are taking over, what he really meant was, ‘niggers, faggots, lesbians and liberals are taking over.’
I hope that by next Tuesday he’s really really mad.
It’s fascinating how dishonest the Republican Party has become. McCain sells himself as a ‘maverick’ who has bucked the system, yet he voted with little Bush 90 percent of the time. Maybe he’s a maverick in the way he puts his socks on.
It’s almost mesmerizing how the Republicans can lie so blatantly, and by a large part get away with it, contradicting truth that’s as plain for all to see as the large nose on my face. You’d think people who were honest, or wanted to be, including members of the Republican Party, would call McCain on it.
For example, the Joe the Plumber scam. The straight talk bus tour. McCain and his paladin Palin are trying to foist off that they’re working class heroes fighting for the average Joe, and that Obama and the Democrats are a bunch of elitists.
The Republican Party working class?
That’s a new one. Run that by me again.
You know the kind of people they mean. Working class. In other words, mostly lower income not hugely successful white people who hang out in bars in the daytime swilling beer and who wear worn undershirts and have tattoos.
McCain and the Republican Party represent them?
Are we talking about the same Republican Party? The party of big oil and big lobbyists, and big markets free of any accountability, the party of trickle down from the rich, the party of gigantic investor frauds wiping out the savings of thousands of stock holders, the party that has a near zero record of achievement on civil rights, or environmentalism or health care?
The party whose adherents (many of them) would like to see blacks once again sitting at the back of a bus where they belong?
The party of an Alaska big shot recently convicted of corruption?
McCain talks about no new taxes, but every year the money the country owes goes up to an amount so high it can no longer be realistically contemplated, a trillion zillion dollars. I’m just a simple guy. You Republicans explain it to me. If we add to our debt and ignore it like the Republicans have for the past eight years, and it keeps going up and up……..who’s going to pay it?
I can’t ignore my own personal debts.
Who’s going to pay for the money America owes, if nobody pays?
McCain’s campaign has all along been about avoidance of confronting unpleasant reality, and instead focusing on mythical heroes, and inflammatory non-issues, working Joes in bars, so-called real Americans who supposedly have sole ownership of the country and its morality and wisdom. Real Americans with real American values live in small towns.
But they’re also white.
What they won’t say, but they should, since it’s what they really think, and what they really mean when they use a word like ’socialists,’ is that lesbians, faggots, liberals and niggers are not real Americans.
That includes Mexican ‘greasers.’
Joe the Average Guy is white, and he’s really really mad.
