Allow me to state that Republicans will NEVER change, as long as the despicable and racist base still threatens to hang the party by the neck. They are buying guns in buckets — rocket-propelled grenade launchers, bazookas and concealable sniper rifles. Neo-NAZISM is on the rise –goaded by blind hate and psychopathic delusions like: “Obama is going to enslave whites,” “Obama is a Marxist who will take away all our guns” and that Obama has an agenda whereby all Americans will herded into FEMA-run concentration camps by a volunteer army of glassy-eyed liberal college graduates.
The G.O.P needs to split into two — so that these dangerous extremists in the party are relegated to a minority in America — permanently! They can then run Rush Limbaugh for president with Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Pandemic Paranoia: “Swine Flu” Fear & Loathing in the Conservative Media — Media personalities from the conservative echo chamber have baselessly blamed Mexican immigrants for spreading HIN1 virus (“swine flu“) across the border, despite the fact that several reports have indicated that U.S. swine flu patients had recently traveled to Mexico.
This racist imbecile, Sean Hannity, thinks he is a journalist ….seriously?
To call anybody in the hate-manufacturing, fear mongering Fox “News” Channel a journalist — is far beyond incredulity, bogus and fraudulent. The Sean Hannity program is FREAK SHOW that caters for FREAKY BIGOTS!
The trouble is — he (Sean KLANnity) believes that he is one — a journalist.
I don’t know whether to cry, laugh or do both.
Hannity: “Journalism is dead in America but for Fox, and talk radio, and Matt Drudge”
Media infected with Right-Wingers’ “socialized medicine” myth: In recent days, numerous media figures have falsely characterized President Obama’s health care proposal as “socialized medicine,” a “single-payer” health care system, a “single-payer government-run system,” or “nationalized health care” like the British or Canadian models.

Does Dobbs think Dr. Gupta and others at CNN are “out of their cotton pickin’ minds”? — Noting that some people have criticized the use of the terms “swine flu” and “Mexican flu,” Lou Dobbs said that the “idiots referring to it now as ‘H1N1 virus’ ” are “out of their cotton pickin’ minds.” But Dr. Sanjay Gupta, among others at CNN, has used the term “H1N1,” which Gupta said is “probably going to become the more appropriate nomenclature” for the virus.

Time has Beck praising Limbaugh’s “honesty” in Time 100 profile — In a Time magazine profile, Glenn Beck writes that Rush Limbaugh’s “consistency, insight and honesty have earned him a level of trust with his listeners that politicians can only dream of.” But Media Matters has documented many examples of falsehoods, misleading commentary, and smears by Limbaugh — [ READ THE FALSEHOODS AND SMEARS ]
“The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” saying the economic recession, the election of America’s first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines ‘rightwing extremism in the United States’ as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.
The rightwing has responded as if the Department of Homeland Security had attacked mom, apple pie and our brave warriors. The usual suspects in talk radio and Fox News are accusing the Obama administration of besmirching the good name of our military personnel.
The nine-page document was not an attack on our soldiers who are conducting themselves with courage and honor in the senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The report clearly states that the return of a “few” disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of the white power movement. The vast majority of our veterans will return to their home towns and lead productive lives. We all know veterans in our neighborhood, workplace and places of worship who are pillars in the community.
But there are a few malcontents who might join white power militias, and use their military training to wreak havoc. The Dept. of Homeland Security is right to warn police departments throughout the country to beware of this small group of racist veterans.
The report wasn’t an attack on the military, talk radio or conservatism, it was a warning that racist groups always thrive in hard economic times.
The detailed statement wasn’t an attack on talk radio, but I won’t pull any punches in attacking talk radio. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mike Savage, Billy Cunningham, Mark Levine and the rest of the reactionary shock jocks pose more of a danger to this country than al Qaeda.
When al Qaeda releases a video Americans don’t take their vile rhetoric seriously, but when Limbaugh demonizes Obama, ostracizes homosexuals and eviscerates feminists, his legions of dittoheads are ready to burn down Planned Parenthood offices and to beat up on gays and lesbians.
Talk radio is a cancer that is infecting our airwaves, a cancer that needs to be excised. I believe in freedom of speech, but some radio stations syndicate only the rightwing nut jobs. For every intelligent and reasonable voice like Alan Colmes, there are a hundred Limbaugh wannabes. There needs to be a fair and balanced approach, we must demand that radio stations put more liberal voices on the air.
When more liberals are on the air we will see a precipitous drop in rightwing extremist activity. Peace and sanity will prevail and the Department of Homeland security won’t have to issue any warnings about extremist rightwing activity.
Southern Poverty Law Center: It was a stunning revelation: Illegal immigrants hold 5 million bad mortgages in the United States. Conservative commentators pounced on the statistic last October. Many of them were already blaming immigrants for the subprime mortgage mess. Now they had numerical proof, and from no less an authority than the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Just one problem: It wasn’t true.
Although HUD immediately debunked the bogus factoid, it nevertheless spread rapidly on popular blogs, syndicated radio shows and major cable networks.
This wasn’t the first time that immigrant bashers with virtual megaphones ignored the facts in spreading misinformation about the ongoing financial crisis. Unless media outlets of all stripes tighten their fact-checking standards, it won’t be the last.
As the nation’s housing crisis worsened last fall, right-wing radio hosts, bloggers and columnists became increasingly strident in blaming it on the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, a federal law aimed at spurring FDIC-insured banks to lend money to people living in lower-income communities.
They claimed the CRA forced lenders to make risky loans to non-whites including illegal immigrants, causing the mortgage meltdown. Never mind that there was ample credible evidence that, like the HUD statistic, this wasn’t true either.
The CRA falsehood easily jumped from the far-right fringe to more mainstream, presumably more credible conservative media outlets, illustrating how sloppy fact-checking or no fact-checking at all have become increasingly common in the midst of fierce competition among speed-obsessed media.

During last nights Hannity Show, Juan correctly rebuked Sean Hannity’s Xenophobic Anti-Immigrant statements, while he[Hannity] was challenging comments made by Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
Said Williams: “[I]t’s her responsibility to challenge unjust laws, and when you’re taking little babies away from their mothers, I say that’s an unjust law.”
As is customary, the racist, syphilitic, anti-immigrant bigot, Sean Hannity — sought to hide behind THE LAW, to demonize immigrants, who are being incarcerated in large numbers, and herded into American Gulags and “For Profit” Concentration Camps.
It’s The Law!!…It’s The Law!!….We Are A Nation of Laws!! ….Screamed Sean KLANNITY.
Yeah, asshole — the same kind of UNJUST law(s) that you used to shackle, lynch and rape Indians, Blacks, the Japanese, and everybody else who stood in your way, while you were stealing America and huge chunks of Mexico.
You Sean Hannity, are no different than the “Straight-Talk” Neo-KLAN Lynch Mobs, that you, Palin and McCain call the BASE. A breed of ANIMALS ….sick to the bone!
Most of these RACIST LAWS have since been repealed, and so will the UNJUST immigration laws in the books, that provide cover for people like YOU, Sean Hannity. You are not interested in anything JUST for immigrants. If given the opportunity, you would gleefully roast every single person of color in a NAZI Oven.
You are a despicable racist who uses the LAW as a “vehicle” with which to transport and proliferate RACISM in this country, ….a dying breed — hopefully!
Blame It On The Immigrant!
