In last night’s GOP debate, a jubilant GOP audience cheered enthusiastically when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the debate’s moderator, posed the hypothetical question to Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX): “What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn’t have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage?” “Are you saying society should just let him die?” Wolf Blitzer asked.

“Yeah!” the crowd yelled out.

Former Florida Congressman Alan Grayson explained this behavior during the Healthcare Debate of a year and a half ago:

Dick ‘FAT’ Morris Issues a ‘Lunch Fatwa’ on Obama: Fox prognosticator Dick Morris pulled another one out of his butt yesterday — proclaiming Obama “finished!” ….”Toast!”

According to “Toe-Sucking” Dick, a Fox Poll reveals that voters under 30 and Latinos have totally deserted Obama.

This is coming from a “very objective” man who has been waging a guerrilla war on the president for 3 years, in collaboration with Fox and NewsMax — Republican propaganda machines.

Yet another bone-headed prediction from the prophet of gloom and Democratic doom — tailored to keep the gullible, racist imbeciles on the right excited and generous — ripe & ready for maximum fleecing.

Beck’s Pay-Per-Hate Program Debuts: Hate-Monger Glenn Beck launched his post-Fox “new career” on Monday with the debut of his Internet-based network GBTV and a new two-hour show.

The goon promptly condemned the 9/11 memorial — calling it a disgrace. “I find it a complete and total disgrace, that the first responders who came to the site of the attacks were not invited to the 10th anniversary memorial.” “The lack of clergy at the memorial a slap in God’s face,” said saint Beck.”

“I think they’ve tainted this ceremony, tainted this space.” “The memory of 9/11 has been bastardized,” added the ‘choke-master.’” [ READ MORE ]

Mark Silva, SwampPolitics.com: With a shrinking base of Americans who identify themselves as Republicans, the stakes for leadership of the rebooted Republican Party grow higher each day.

Radio’s Rush Limbaugh, whom the Democrats, and particularly the Obama White House, want to anoint as the spokesman for the GOP, has taken pointed aim at another Republican whom some Republicans are calling no Republican at all: Retired Gen. Colin Powell, who endorsed Obama for election last year and says, quite plainly that “the Republican Party is in deep trouble.” — [ READ MORE ]

From MediaMatters: On the March 9 edition of Fox News’ Special Report, host Bret Baier reported: “Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been under fire for saying he wants President Obama to fail. Limbaugh has since explained he was talking about the president’s policies and not the president specifically or the economy.” In fact, on February 13, responding to a caller’s question about whether Limbaugh wanted the economic recovery package to fail, Limbaugh said, “I hope it prolongs the recession.” Limbaugh has also repeatedly said he wants Obama specifically to fail.

Baier ignored Limbaugh assertion that he hopes stimulus “prolongs the recession”

From MediaMatters: On America’s Newsroom, Megyn Kelly claimed that “the Democrats and the country’s biggest unions today [would be] kicking off an effort to kill a worker’s right to a private ballot” and later asserted that the Employee Free Choice Act could be called the “Kill the Private Ballot Doctrine.” In fact, EFCA would not eliminate employees’ rights to a secret ballot; as The New York Times reported, “Business groups have attacked the legislation because it would take away employers’ right to insist on holding a secret-ballot election to determine whether workers favored unionization.” — [ READ MORE ] [ Fox News repeatedly echoes only opponents of Employee Free Choice Act ]

CNN Also Not Vetting LYING Right-Wing Republicans

From MediaMatters: On the March 10 edition of CNN’s The Situation Room, syndicated columnist Tony Blankley and host Wolf Blitzer mischaracterized President Obama’s call back to The New York Times following his March 7 interview. After Blankley stated that “the fact The New York Times asked President Obama a few days ago, ‘Are you a socialist,’ suggests that the idea that he’s for big government is obvious,” Blitzer responded, “He later called them back and said he’s not a socialist.” Blankley then asserted that Obama originally “answered and didn’t like his answer and called back,” to which Blitzer replied, “To clarify, to clarify.”

In fact, as Media Matters for America has noted, according to the audio posted on the Times’ website, in his post-interview follow-up phone call with the Times, Obama did not call back “to clarify” that he is “not a socialist” — he had explicitly made that point during the initial interview. Rather, in his follow-up call, Obama criticized the Times’ question, stating, “It was hard for me to believe you were entirely serious about that socialist question.” Obama later said during his phone call, “I think that it’s important just to note when you start hearing folks throw these words around that we’ve actually been operating in a way that is entirely consistent with free-market principles and that some of the same folks who are throwing the word socialist around can’t say the same.” — [ READ MORE ]

New York Post Faces Public Outrage

CaffertyFile: U.S. a “nation of cowards” when it comes to race?

A Recent Racist Cartoon By The New York Post

Some Comments:

Tom from Philadelphia writes: Who let the black man in on closed-door racism? We have gone from overt, in-your-face racism, to closed-door, let-me-make-sure-who-I-am-talking-to racism. Overall, on the outside it’s going away. But in the hearts and minds of many and in private, it’s the same as it always was. He is bold and brave to confront it. Good job.

Terry, Chandler from Arizona writes: I’m a 60 year old white dude and a former bigot. AG Holder is 100 percent right on. We will continue to be cowards untill a time when we can all speak openly about all racial problems and differences.

Julie writes: I think he wants to get our minds off of the financial crisis

Ken in Pinon Hills, California writes: Millions of cowards voted for a black president.

Bruce, from St. Paul, Minnesota writes: In my lifetime, I have seen racism become more and more covert over time. There is less name calling, but still job applications are disregarded, law-abiding drivers are pulled over, and much, much more. I think to label this behavior as cowardly is exactly right. To deny or rationalize it is even worse.

Chryssa from Boise, Idaho writes: I believe Holder’s generation is a bunch of cowards. Most of us born after 1965 could care less about another person’s skin color.

Marjorie Lominy of Jorie, New York writes: I am happy to report that we have 69 millions “non cowards” who pulled the lever for President Obama.

Tommy form Alabama: Yeah, pretty much. As a 51 year old man, I do have one black friend and one gay friend. I think that’s pretty radical for a born and raised Alabamaian.
