Columnist – John Sammon My gun is who I am. Love me. Love my gun. I R a patriot. I live where real Amer-cuns live. I be a member of the Thunderbolt Party. We wear German helmets and we carry the Bible and our guns.
We wear armbands with a thunderbolt on ‘em. Most of us are rural gas station attendants, the working class backbone of the country. Not some bunch of lily-livered limp wrists who like to think.
Love me love my gun.
I’m oiling my gun, waiting fer’ the day when weez’ gonna take back our coun-try.
When I get up in the morning, I thank God he made me a white man, not some socialist jig-a-boo communist co.’k-sucking faggot. Not some left-wing sissy whining momma’s-boy college-educated immigrant bastard.
You mess with me and I’ll kill ya.’ That’s what a Republic should be. Not this here Demo-crappy (Democracy) all them faggots and darkies and the traitors been coming over here to infect it been sayin.’
Love my gun. My gun I keep on the wall in a-place-o honor. I take it off the wall and keep it next to me in my bed. My gun is unregistered. You try to take my gun away an I’ll kill ya.’
I can shoot my own shoes off without nickin’ the skin if I need to, or part the hair on a sparrow at 300 yards.
We’re gonna have us a meetin’ where we talk about how to git back at them communist socialist bastard elected officials who don’t think our way and their immigrant faggot friends. Tryin’ to socialize us and forcing us take health insurance and abortions and such. We learn how to make threatening phone calls to their wives and children.
How to dump nails in their driveway.
Or worse.
If that don’t scare ‘em off, we have other means. We in the Thunderbolt Party.
Love me. Love my gun. Kiss my gun.
Any real man huntz with a gun. Any real American man like Dick Cheney, or that guy who was in the movie where he wuz’ the old Jew-boy with the beard (Charlton Heston as Moses).
Weez’ related to the founders of this country who shot the sh.’t outta the Indians, who made our God the God over ‘em and cleared the land and made it work. And then them foreign traitors come over here and try and take it away. And people of minorities and lesbians who get uppity and don’t know their place start whining and the political sonsofbitches left-wing traitors like Kennedy and Roosevelt suck up to ‘em.
Not me. They can kiss my ass. Love me. Love my gun.
I be a tea-bag right-wing patriot, and I’m proud of it.
I jus love to polish my gun and to hold it in my hands because the day of reckoning iz-a-comin.’
If they keep a-lectin’ them traitor faggots then we in the Thunderbolt Party will meet and think about ways we kin’ take our country back. A country where a white man and woman can walk down the street.
I have my gun. I love my gun.
To arms! To arms! We’re tea baggers, but we ain’t throwin’ no tea this time.
The Most Biased Name in News, Fox News Channel, has an extraordinary Right-Wing tilt. Fox wraps itself in slogans of journalistic objectivity like “Fair and balanced” and “We report, you decide,” while constantly using slanted, often un-researched, racist, bigoted and outrightly “hostile” sources. It didn’t begin yesterday, in fact at the inception of “FOX News” in October 7, 1996, Bill O’Reilly (Osama Bin O’Reilly) who nowadays seems nice, when compared to Beck — was actually much worse. Glenn Beck may get an “imbecile pass,” but not O’Reilly — the vicious KLAN bigot who almost single-handedly made Fox what it is today: A den of poisonous VIPERS and WHORES.

From Robert Greenwald:
FOX News is on a witch hunt, aimed at destroying the Obama administration and the progressive movement. They’ve already succeeded in pushing Van Jones out of the White House and badgered Congress into passing an unconstitutional bill to defund ACORN. Glenn Beck actually keeps an enemies list on a blackboard that’s a regular part of his show.
ACORN is just the beginning. FOX has an enemies list, and they’re going to keep destroying progressive champions until we stop them.

Most recently, the Journal published an op-ed by Palin, in which she backtracked from her initial claim that a provision in a House reform bill would create death panels, but maintained that reform opponents are justifiably concerned that “Democrats’ proposals will ultimately lead” to death panels.

Obama Spokesman Robert Gibbs: The “BIRTHERS” heed the siren song of righteous victimhood. They feel the injustice of losing an election, so they concoct a plot that tells them they didn’t lose fair and square – the election was stolen.

Book Description — The Culture Wars Are Over and the Idiots Have Won.
A veteran journalist’s acidically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States.
In the midst of a career-long quest to separate the smart from the pap, Charles Pierce had a defining moment at the Creation Museum in Kentucky, where he observed a dinosaur. Wearing a saddle… But worse than this was when the proprietor exclaimed to a cheering crowd, “We are taking the dinosaurs back from the evolutionists!” He knew then and there it was time to try and salvage the Land of the Enlightened, buried somewhere in this new Home of the Uninformed.
With his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States, and how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate.
With Idiot America, Pierce’s thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. [ Read All Editorial Reviews ]
Senate Republicans – who espouse virtually the same views as that of their influential talk show brethren — minus the most incendiary language – have failed to denounce their hate and ultra-nationalist demagoguery. Implicit in their arguments is that the decisions by white male Supreme Court Justices have always been fair and infallible, while the continued attempts to right the nation’s wrongs – by activists or judges – constitute bias and even racism. By opposing her these past two months with inflammatory rhetoric, they have gravely poisoned relations with this expanding demographic group, ironically ensuring that the GOP will be remanded to the status of minority party for at least the next generation. Regardless of what obstacles are put in her way, Sonia Sotomayor will be the next Supreme Court Justice. If there are to be any casualties, it will be the GOP, not her.
By: Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez Nine years into the new millennium and conservatives and Republicans — with straight faces – insist that it is they that should define the nation’s racial debate and that it is their views that are fair and objective and part of the U.S. mainstream. Nowhere is this fallacy more evident than in their incomprehensible opposition to Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In their upside-down world, extreme conservatives, including the entire right wing talk show universe, have gone from defending racial supremacy – from opposing integration and the precepts of “equality and justice for all” to abrogating for themselves the right to give meaning to the very words and terms of this debate. Interestingly, Senate Republicans – who espouse virtually the same views as that of their influential talk show brethren — minus the most incendiary language – have failed to denounce their hate and ultra-nationalist demagoguery.
For instance, Sen. Jeff Sessions’ questioning of Sotomayor regarding her supposed biases, and the Republican demand that she be neutral, is mind-boggling. Lest we forget (aside from his own documented extreme racial views), it is “objectivity” that permitted the U.S. Supreme Court for nearly 200 years to uphold legal segregation and discrimination. Implicit in their arguments is that the decisions by white male Supreme Court Justices have always been fair and infallible, while the continued attempts to right the nation’s wrongs – by activists or judges – constitute bias and even racism.
In addition to a history refresher course, many of these Republicans and conservatives are in need of an English dictionary. They also need to pay a visit to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website to learn who the racists are and what kinds of supremacist ideologies they espouse and carry out.
None of those that have denounced Sotomayor as a “racist” – such as Newt Gingrich – are in line to win a Nobel Peace Prize for their work on race relations any time soon. And yet, more incredible is that the mainstream media continually turn to extremist talking heads for their opinions on the topic, virtually granting them an imprimatur of impartiality and fairness.
The Republican conservative effort to keep Sotomayor off the bench seems like a bizarre murder-suicide plot. Regardless of what obstacles are put in her way, she will be the next Supreme Court Justice. If there are to be any casualties, it will be the GOP, not her. She is a twice-Senate-confirmed moderate judge with 17 years of judicial experience, not the flaming radical they project her to be. She is Boricua or Puerto Rican – part of a demographic (Latino/Latina) that is both growing and has the potential to lean either Democratic or Republican.
What GOP leaders haven’t figured out is that, symbolically, Sotomayor represents this generation’s Jackie Robinson. If they had wanted to broaden their political tent, they could have celebrated her nomination, thereby projecting a welcoming party. Instead, they have questioned her impartiality and more importantly, her integrity. By opposing her these past two months with inflammatory rhetoric, they have gravely poisoned relations with this expanding demographic group, ironically ensuring that the GOP will be remanded to the status of minority party for at least the next generation.
GOP leaders have the right to oppose her; the problem is that they have failed to do so respectfully and have failed to denounce the dehumanizing views of their extreme right wing brethren. Many Republicans/conservatives have not simply defamed her, they have also unjustifiably denigrated both the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) – respected civil rights organizations she has associated with as a professional.
In the case of the NCLR, the anti-immigrant ex-Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo has likened it to the KKK. This is both bizarre and beyond intellectually dishonest.
This attempt by extreme conservatives to redefine the meaning of terms such as “racists” either reveals an Orwellian strategy to upend the meaning of words, or it reveals complete political illiteracy and/or lunacy. The consequence is that the GOP continues to send off the message that it is the party of the past, the party of greed, permanent war, hate, intolerance and racial supremacy. Also, because many conservatives equate illegal alien with Mexican (or Latino) and who view both as vermin and subhuman – the GOP already has a huge [recruitment] problem among these groups.
The failure of its leaders to disassociate from those extreme views means that this is the way the GOP will be perceived, long after Sotomayor dons her new Supreme Court robes.
