“How you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!” — Herman Cain told supporters in Michigan, drawing enthusiastic cheers from the majority white audience.

That comment has some historical salience. American history buffs will remember a heated May 1856 battle between Northern Senator Charles Sumner and Southern Congressman Preston Brooks. With the war over slavery in full force, Brooks became infamous for his brutal attack on Sumner, a known abolitionist, with a cane.

During last night’s Michigan debate, Herman Cain derisively referred to former Democratic speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi — as “Princess Nancy.”

This coming from a candidate currently under ‘public indictment‘ for sexual assault — is hoplessly ridiculous!

We were all expecting the highlight of last night’s debate to be when Herman Cain was questioned about the allegations of sexual harassed levied against him by four women.

When one of the moderators broached the subject, Herman Cain, in front of a sympathetic conservative audience, deftly answered the question. But the clueless Cain, who doesn’t exactly have a sterling reputation when it comes to his treatment of women, hurt himself when he referred to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as “Princess Nancy.”

The conservative audience in Rochester, Michigan doesn’t represent the nationwide electorate, and there’s no way Cain will win the Republican nomination when he’s alienated millions of women.

Going into last night’s debate Rick Perry has already earned a reputation as a horrible debater, this was his last real chance to redeem himself. If Perry had managed to survive the debate without soiling his pants and without committing any gaffes, he would have been congratulated from all sides.

Perry was actually doing reasonably well until that moment that will live in infamy, when he had a 53-second brain freeze. The Texas governor emphatically declared that he would eliminate three federal agencies, but struggled to name them. “Commerce, Education and the — what’s the third one there? Let’s see…” Perry’s rivals tried to bail him out, suggesting agencies in need of elimination. Someone shouted EPA and Perry said. “EPA, there you go.”

But that wasn’t really it, and when the moderator gave him another chance to remember, this time he could only remember one of the agencies. It wasn’t until later on in the debate when he remembered all three agencies that he’s so gung ho about eliminating.

Perry wasn’t asked to name all the presidents, this wasn’t a trick question, he should be able to name the three agencies he wants to eliminate while making love to his wife, downing shots of whisky, and juggling swords.

Perry may stick around for a few more weeks or months for appearances sake, but he’s Texas Toast. He’s dead man walking! You can stick a fork in him, he’s done! It’s impossible for Perry to overcome the most embarrassing moment in the history of political debates.

A principle shareholder of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.(Corpse), the parent company of Fox News, is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the nephew of Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, and one of the world’s richest men.

Through his Kingdom Holding Co., Alwaleed owns about 7% of News Corp., or about $3 billion of the media giant. He also owns 6% of Citigroup — to which he was introduced by the Carlyle Group — or about $10 billion of the giant bank. He’s a part-owner of the famed Plaza Hotel in New York and has invested in many other prominent companies. (At one point he invested in AOL (AOL), the parent company of DailyFinance.)

   [ ENLARGE ]

Saudi Arabia, which is ruled by Alwaleed’s uncle King Abdullah, is, of course, an authoritarian petro-monarchy that actually is governed by Sharia law and is known as one of the top global sponsors of terrorism.

Alwaleed, like Imam Rauf, professes a desire to build bridges of peace and understanding between the Islamic world and the West. One man is a multibillionaire, with far-flung investments around the world, and the other is a religious cleric, whose congregation happens to be in downtown Manhattan.

Many Fox News pundits seem to have a big problem with the idea that a foreign government or entity with ties to terrorism could help sponsor a mosque in lower Manhattan — a legitimate concern. But as viewers listen to Fox News pundits rail against Rauf — and question his center’s funding — they should keep in mind that Fox News is part of a company, News Corp., that has extensive business ties with the Muslim world.

It’s just part of running a multinational media giant in today’s global, interconnected economy, where alliances and business relationships are more nuanced than the black and white — good and evil — viewpoint that many Fox News pundits espouse. [ Source ]

So, if Fox News wants to play a game of guilt by association with Imam Rauf, — then we can justifiably conclude that Rupert Murdoch’s has questionable ties to terrorism, and therefore Fox News is a “Terrorist Command Center,” — operated by Roger Ailes and “Osama Bin O’Reilly“.

“It started inside a trailer home in rural Michigan, where a small family gathered before bed for prayer. Years later, the private devotions had evolved into a small militia of ‘Christian warriors’ preparing to fight the Antichrist.

The changes in David Brian Stone’s personal theology destroyed his marriage, his former wife said, and prosecutors claim they later led him to hatch a plot to kill police officers – an act the militia hoped would touch off an uprising against the government.

Prosecutors believe that Stone, 44, of Clayton, Mich., is the ringleader of the Hutaree militia, a name the group’s Web site says they created to mean “Christian warrior.” He was among nine members arrested during a series of raids in three Midwestern states, which federal officials said they carried out after monitoring the group since last summer and learning they planned to launch their attack next month.” [ READ MORE ]

I don’t feel a lot of love for police officers when one of them pulls me over and issues me a ticket, but I realize that they protect and serve the community. If it weren’t for our courageous police officers risking their lives to protect us, our society would quickly dissolve into anarchy.

But an alarming number of Tea Party members, Christian fundamentalists and other conservative riff raff view cops as agents of the Antichrist.

There is a lot of hate brewing in the Tea Party Movement, the militia movement and other outposts of right-wing America, and it’s being stoked by Sarah Palin who uses violent imagery in her speeches, and other Republican leaders who demonize President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress.

Tea Party members have already committed acts of vandalism and issued death threats against Democratic politicians, how long will it be before they also start gunning down law enforcement officials?

I write for a newspaper and several Web sites, it’s no exaggeration to say that millions have read my essays in the decade that I’ve been writing. I’ve received hundreds of emails accusing me of being in league with the Antichrist. Not all of these letters are from ignorant yahoos living in trailer parks, many are from professionals. Its scary how many intelligent people believe that the federal government is evil, and that law enforcement officials do the bidding of the Antichrist.

Fringe elements within the Tea Party movement and Christian militias are a threat not only to police officers, but to all of us. They are a threat to democracy, and they must be taken down.

We are so preoccupied with the external threat from al Qaeda, that we are neglecting the internal threat from these homegrown Christian terrorists who are on a mission from God to destroy our democracy.

Defeat Christian terrorism, hug a cop, listen to NPR and join the Democratic Party!
