The GOP field for 2012 presidential elections read like this: A black token, uncle-tom Herman Cain equipped with a head packed tight with pizza; yet to declare Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann — dimwit cuckoo witches; cockamamie Newton Leroy Gingrich — a 68 year old thrice married adulterer and scam artist extraordinaire; another yet to declare Libertarian Ron Paul — who wants to legalize heroin; Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota who has the personality of a high-school prankster; thrice married birth certificate maniac Donald Trump — who dropped out the other week but is “re-considering“; Mitch Daniels, the governor of Indiana who has just dropped out of the race because of fear of airing the “dirty panties” of his wife who deserted him for another man, leaving him with their two daughters — then came back after smelling the millions Daniels made while working as an executive for Eli Lilly & Co., a multi-billion dollar Indianapolis based drug company with a history of malfeasance and criminal practices:

In the decade that Daniels climbed the corporate ladder at Eli Lilly, the company was illegally marketing its leading osteoporosis drug, Evista, as well as its blockbuster anti psychotic, Zyprexa, putting tens of thousands of patients in harm’s way. Lilly pleaded guilty to two criminal misdemeanors, paid more than $2.7 billion in fines and damages, settled more than 32,000 personal injury claims — and copped to one of the largest state consumer protection cases involving a drug company in U.S. history, a review by iWatch News shows.

With 2008 candidate Mike Huckabee, the man who once wished loudly that Obama be shot — apparently comfortable with his multi-million dollar contract at “Fixed News” a.k.a Fox News, the only other “viable” candidate is master flip-flopper Mitt Romney, a Mormon — who is regarded suspiciously by the racist-religious base of the Republican party.

Fox President Roger Ailes who controls and dissipates GOP propaganda thinks Sarah Palin is an idiot — as reported by New York Magazine, which has just published an extensive profile of Ailes that details the significant role he plays in conservative politics.

Immediately following the announcement by tea party favorite Herman Cain that he is “running for President of the United States” and “not running for second,” Fox News wasted no time in jumping to gush over Cain. “Yes He Cain!” frothed Fox about the uncle-tom — a limp attempt to mock Obama’s “Yes We Can” slogan of 2008.

Herman Cain Invokes Martin Luther King’s “Free At Last“

“Free” you are not Herman. You are a negrophobic, “chicken-and-biscuit eating uncle tom,” a monumental “pubic” disgrace to the black cause in America. You are a slave crawling back to your master — in the Tea-Party plantation! You are a boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized nigger who is being trotted out in front of us by Republican racists to provide America with an illusion of black inclusion.

Are those rabid racists in the Republican base capable of voting in a black man for president? Hell NO!! See video below for proof:

Fifty-three years ago, as Autumn turned chilly in the Peach State, MLK was sick; he went to Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist to preach anyway. He felt a critical need to deliver a November, 1957 message that has particular resonance in relation to contemporary events of war and peace and social justice and social upheaval. Most commentators on this famous sermon focus on King’s ‘love-your-enemies’ prescription. But MLK’s purpose in preaching-while-sick was more pointed than moral generality. His was a profoundly political hallelujah.

He contended that Americans failed to honor democracy. “(W)e have often taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes. …(W)e have often … trampled over individuals and races with the iron feet of oppression. … (T)hrough our Western powers we have perpetuated colonialism and imperialism.” He might easily have been speaking of Egypt, just pilloried in the Suez war a year prior to his presentation.

In the fifty four years that have passed since then, the United States has ‘befriended’ nations such as Egypt, seeking to keep them away from such influences as, first, ‘communism,’ and, more recently, ‘terrorism.’ However, the political result of supposed U.S. benevolence uniformly, almost without exception, worked to enrich a thin upper crust at the expense of masses of humanity left to wallow in poverty and disenfranchisement.

Now, as if by a miraculous fiat, the U.S. ruling authorities say that ‘human rights’ are indeed important, and the ways of repression and impunity are no longer acceptable. But anyone with a sense of history will recognize that, at the first sniff of social democracy–Mossadegh, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Lumumba, and Allende are among the dozens of leaders, many deposed or ‘terminated with extreme prejudice’–the SOP of the USA is likely to be to seek out a new Mubarak, a modified version of Mobutu, a slightly-more-urbane model of thuggery than Somoza, someone like Colombia’s Alvaro Uribe, resplendent in tailored suits and sporting a Harvard degree to justify his following IMF and CIA directives.

In 1957, one of the ‘enemies’ that King warned against hating was Russia. He contended that anti-communism was a large component of U.S. policies and that many grassroots organizations scoffed at such mandates for ideological purity. One source that fought against such insistence was the Highlander Center, where Rosa Parks studied just before she made her historic 12/1/1955 decision to break an unjust law and go to prison in Montgomery.

In fact, on Labor Day, 1957, MLK delivered an important speech to celebrate Highlander Folk School’s(HFS) founding. There, a supposed ‘freelance photographer,’ Ed Friend, spied on events for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Georgia’s White-Supremacist governor, Marvin Griffin.

One thorough annalist has pointed out, “Th(is) attack upon HFS was part of a larger effort to discredit and demonize anyone connected to the civil rights movement — in particular to … prominent national civil rights organizations.”

In the tumultuous decade of liberation-and-struggle that followed–from sit-ins to mass demonstrations to Black Panther insistence on “self-defense,” one can see many similar scenes of upsurge and oppression as are appearing on the front pages of the press now. Throughout this process, under the auspices of Cointelpro and like machinations, a subversion and co-optation of the civil rights, peace, and social-justice movements was taking place.

Photographer-spy Friend’s pictures showed-up in bigoted, ‘patriotic’ mass-mailings, calling King Communist. The ‘grain-of-truth’ in this assertion was the support that socialists had long offered civil-rights. Red-baiting campaigns-against-King soon went national, with billboards plastered around the South, bearing the caption, “MLK at Communist Training School.”

Lifelong social-justice-proponent, Anne Braden, sent MLK a 1959 letter cautioning him that Ed Friend had just testified in hearings to close HFS. Friend lied, “The greatest objection I had was that one… Negro preacher… there said that white people should be murdered to force the Federal Government to support integration…–that was Martin Luther King.”

Those of us observing the uprisings currently occurring across a swath of the Islamic world would do well to recall the infiltration and undermining of similar surges of human passion as part-and-parcel of policies of rule by the elites and their institutional watchdogs in agencies with well-known acronyms. Martin Luther King remonstrated about the inherently class-based systems of disempowerment that have ever been the operational protocols of rulers.

Fifty four years and three months ago, he addressed the moronic assertion that he was calling for ‘death to Whitey’ when he sermonized in Atlanta, closing by noting the historical tendency for some to be oppressors and some oppressed. He continued that neither violent uprising nor passive acquiescence was an appropriate response to tyranny.

However, “there is another way. … to organize mass non-violent resistance based on the principle of love. …(T)his is the only way as … . we look out across the years and across the generations… Love is the only way.” That’s what the man from Nazareth said too, obviously.

Both of them agreed with Mother Jones too, though. She stated an integral piece of the puzzle of justice. “Don’t mourn. Organize.”

Glenn Beck, Fox News’ baboon commentator likes to align himself with Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy. In fact on Monday, On MLKs holiday, both Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck made a comparison between themselves and MLK, in reference to the recent debate surrounding the Arizona shootings. According to both, they are like MLK because they, too, are being falsely accused of inciting violence.

These two race-baiting, charlatan-hoodlums — comparing themselves to the civil rights leader — is the ultimate insult to black America and the struggle for justice and equality.

King himself was often referred to as a “Communist” by racists who were against the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s. Exactly, the same way Glenn Beck often refers to Obama and progressive America.

If Glenn Beck was around during King’s time, he would definitely have referred to him as a “racist” in an attempt to deflect his own rabid racism…….before amending it to “anti-colonial”

Beck is NO MLK! — he is nothing but a savvy fraud who knows just how to please his audience of conservative suckers. Beck has done all the necessary spadework to position himself at the center of a brewing and increasingly paranoid right-wing insurgency. From challenging Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison to prove he isn’t working with Al-Qaida, to taking tearful stands against Barack Obama’s Democratic Reich, the self-described “rodeo clown” has pushed his televised tirades and skits closer to the angrier, more unhinged fare of his daily talk radio show, now ranked third nationally, where he has been honing his confessional Molotov-throwing shtick for a decade.[ READ MORE HERE ]

Monday night, the hopeless ‘DISASTA‘ from Alaska, Ms. Sarah Palin, a woman fueled by ‘Fierce Stupidity‘ and insurmountable greed — went to Sean Hannity, Fox’s mis-informer of the year 2008 — to Hannitize (Sanitize) herself, after a week of ‘bloody libelous‘ utterances.

As expected, Sean Hannity lofted softball after softball at Palin. It was more of a meeting of colleagues than a rigorous interview. So what’s new?

MediaMatters Reports — Fox’s One-Man Clean-Up Crew: A History Of “Hannitization” — In advance of Sarah Palin’s interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Slate’s David Weigel proposed a new definition to the neologism “Hannitize“: “to clean up a messy situation with a softball interview.” Indeed, Hannity has become the go-to interviewer for right-wing figures following scandal or controversy.

From the new ABC News/Washington Post poll: Only 30 percent of Americans approve of the way Sarah Palin responded to the Tucson shootings. Palin defended herself on Fox News tonight: “This isn’t about me,” she said. Quoting the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., she said she is speaking out because “a lie cannot live.” …

The masses are asses. We know this. But the level of ignorance displayed by the attendees at the “Restoring Honor” rally is shocking even by contemporary standards.It is quite clear that Glenn Beck is a master propagandist with a chilling and Svengali-like power over the lemmings of the New Right. Beck-watching is compelling (to me at least) because his popularity is a barometer of the toxins in our political atmosphere. Moreover, I wonder if Beck’s followers would be so slavish as to follow him off a cliff, and to what extremes would the tea party brigands go in their devotion to his cult of personality.To point, here is a little armchair sociology to help put Beck and the New Right’s devotees into a broader context. — Courtesy of Wikipedia

How Did So Many Republicans End Up Believing The Falsehoods Heaped on Obama?

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence: because competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. “Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others.”

The Dunning-Kruger effect was put forward by Justin Kruger and David Dunning. Similar notions have been expressed-albeit less scientifically-for some time. Dunning and Kruger themselves quote Charles Darwin (”Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”) and Bertrand Russell (”One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.”

The Dunning-Kruger effect is not, however, concerned narrowly with high-order cognitive skills (much less their application in the political realm during a particular era, which is what Russell was talking about.Nor is it specifically limited to the observation that ignorance of a topic is conducive to overconfident assertions about it, which is what Darwin was saying. Indeed, Dunning et al. cite a study saying that 94% of college professors rank their work as “above average” (relative to their peers), to underscore that the highly intelligent and informed are hardly exempt. Rather, the effect is about paradoxical defects in perception of skill, in oneself and others, regardless of the particular skill and its intellectual demands, whether it is chess, playing golf or driving a car.

The hypothesized phenomenon was tested in a series of experiments performed by Justin Kruger and David Dunning, then both of Cornell University. Kruger and Dunning noted earlier studies suggesting that ignorance of standards of performance is behind a great deal of incompetence. This pattern was seen in studies of skills as diverse as reading comprehension, operating a motor vehicle, and playing chess or tennis.

Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:

1. tend to overestimate their own level of skill;

2. fail to recognize genuine skill in others;

3. fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;

4. recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve.
