Bill Maher: “Hey Birthers, wanna hear my theory? My theory is that Obama was born in America and you were born with the umbilical cord wrapped around your neck.”
Right-Wing Race-Baiting Revealed – Rush Limbaugh Had A Dream That He Was Black!
We knew healthcare reform would face fierce opposition — and it’s begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads. Their plan is simple: torpedo healthcare reform before it sees the light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President’s approach.
We need the resources to take them head on with an urgent, grassroots campaign to pass real healthcare reform in 2009.
When the swiftboaters flood the airwaves with distortions, we’ll flood the streets with volunteers armed with facts. When they send lobbyists to tell Congress to back down, we’ll send millions of calls, letters, and stories from real Americans asking them to stand up.
The swiftboaters are once again trying to sell the American people short. As during the election, we deserve a serious conversation — not fear-mongering and deceit. You and I see the importance of healthcare reform every day. We can’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to face one of America’s greatest challenges head on.
Passing real healthcare reform will be the toughest, most important challenge we’ve faced together since electing Barack Obama President.
But it’s also a big reason we fought so hard to get here. I know that by working together, and speaking with one, determined voice, we can prevail over the cynics and defenders of the status quo. America’s families are counting on us to do just that.

Adopted From The Nation: The Republican Party’s political strategy of sowing resentment and fear–sprung from Richard Milhouse Nixon and was nurtured by admen like Lee Atwater, Floyd Brown and the Swiftboaters.
McCain tried to use the same tactic in the last presidential election — and fell flat on his face. To McCain’s supporters Barack Hussein Osama Nobama, was born outside America and secretly schooled in Islamic terrorism at a Wahhabi madrassa. He then moved to the United States to take up the radical ’60s teachings of the Weather Underground’s Bill Ayers, while also organizing for ACORN, a subprime-lending, voter fraud-committing collective of affirmative-action welfare queens. All this happened before he became an elitist celebrity advocate of socialism, infanticide, the sexual abuse of children and treason.
All John McCain, Sarah Palin and their surrogates needed to do was to raise the insidious question–”Who is the real Barack Obama?“–and the zealots conjured the rest, along with cries of “Treason!” “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!”
What holds this strategy together is not the fear and loathing of any particular despised identity so much as the idea that America is under siege, disordered, on the cusp of imminent and total collapse, threatened by terrorists abroad and undermined by enemies at home. … [ READ MORE ]

After Obama beat McCain thoroughly and decisively, the GOP has to re-invent or die — demographic data supports this theory.
While it is obvious their only sure path successful to re-tooling is to become a big-tent party, they apparently have abandoned the idea — in favor of becoming MORE CONSERVATIVE …..i.e. more RACIST and BIGOTED.
We must stick to our “Conservative Principles” — RACISM, PREJUDICE and BIGOTRY!!
Obviously these ding-bats learned nothing after McCain’s defeat.
So, in the present instance, as far as Republicans are concerned — America is under siege, the END OF AMERICA is NEAR!, Obama’s STIMULUS will STARVE “our” children to DEATH!!, We are becoming a SOCIALIST COUNTRY!!, He must be stopped!, He must FAIL — per Rush Limbaugh!!
…and there are millions of Republicans who believe this nonsense — even after Obama got elected — and BLACKS NEVER TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY TO PUNISH WHITES!!
I guess, the thought of a BLACK man and his “angry” wife occupying the White House, must be making many Republicans wet their pants uncontrollable, in FRIGHT, in the middle of the night.
The comedy and idiocy of the Republican Party lives on! …….in the confines of Rush Limbaugh’s FAT Stinking Belly.
Product Description: I hate the gooks, said John McCain, I will hate them as long as I live. Senator McCain said these words when asked about his continued use of the racial slur, “gook.”.
John McCain has told us who he is.
• John McCain supported the rescinding of Martin Luther King Day.
• John McCain keeps on his payroll white supremacists, race-baiting swiftboaters and lobbyists for dictators and terrorists.
• John McCain endorsed George Wallace, Jr., a favorite speaker among white supremacists.
• He fought to keep the Confederate battle flag flying over South Carolina.
He seems to subscribe to a brand of religion-inspired bellicosity that calls for the U.S. to wage war for the sake of imparting our values upon humanity. McCain promised to immediately start wars in North Korea, Libya, and Iraq during his first presidential campaign, and in 2008 he has promised new wars to come. He sent his own money to the contra guerillas, and even visited their illegal war camp.
War is the way of John McCain, and racial bias makes it easy to execute those wars. Long before George W. Bush became president, McCain planned an invasion of Iraq. He lobbied for an Iraq invasion just days after 9/11, and when it came time to convince the American people, he insisted that the Iraq War would be easily won.
The combination of racism and warmongering are perfectly encapsulated in gook, a racist term formed during numerous U.S. wars, from the invasion of the Philippines (1898-1902) to the occupation of Haiti in 1920, to the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
John McCain used this anti-Asian slur freely with the media until he was forced to stop for fear of sabotaging his own presidential ambitions. The portrait of John McCain painted in Gook is far more disturbing than any racial epithet. A central thesis of Gook: war fertilizes racism, and racism justifies wars and the killing of civilians. This dynamic thrives within the most dangerous leaders of the world.
