Not Going To Look. Don’t Want To Know.

But I can guess what’s going on there.

1) Subtle racist jokes.
2) Subtle poor-people-are-lazy jokes.
3) Meanness.
4) A celebration of cruelty!
5) Flag-waving.
6) Ronald Reagan = Jesus Christ.
7) Not-subtle-at-all revamping of history.
8 ) We love women! And minorities! Now submit to our will and give us all the power and money!
9) That bastard Barack Obama.
10) A celebration of mean cruelty!
11) We’re going to save Medicare and Social Security — for the billionaires!
12) Look at the size of our dicks!
13) Mean and cruel stupidity that hurts everyone — yayyyy!!!!
14) We don’t need no stinking government — what we need is a good CEO that can make this country profitable again — for the billionaires!!
15) Mitt Romney = Ronald Reagan = Jesus Christ!! Yayyy!!!!
16) Cruel meanness is the Path To Christ’s Love! Yayyy!
17) That Evil Muslim Bastard Barack Obama. Unlike Good White Christian (?) Mitt Romney!!! Yayyyyy!!!
18) George Bush who? Oh, that liberal hippie Bush? Who? What? I can’t hear you!
19) To be cruelly mean to little helpless things is what Jesus wanted! Yayyyy!
20) Believe in Mitt and Jesus will make you rich! Yayyyyy!

Uh, may I say, if I haven’t said this lately — conservative means criminal, Republicans are primitive tribalistic incompetent throwbacks who have to cheat to survive (damn that Darwin!), and President Mitt Romney means the End Times are fucking here, buddy.

Let me know if I missed anything, if anybody else actually watches that putrid shitstorm of hatred, misogyny, racism, and mean/cruel Mean Cruelty.

Why do they hate ‘Amercia’ so much? Because it says ‘We’ in the fucking founding documents. And to them, you know what that means.

I appreciate your opinion, and understand it. I undoubtedly will be dog whistle central. But I, for one, think it's important on a know thy enemy sense. This is the Repubs big show. Ours comes next week, thank goodness.

But to watch one without the other is a mistake, IMHO.

Obviously you don't see it that way, and that's okay. Some DUers will be here with me, and others won't. That's okay, too.

That's the strength of a community. We build it together.

I just can't do it.

Randi Rhodes listens to Rush -- she'll be watching for me. I can handle the pre-digested stuff, so it's important that somebody watches. And for that, I am truly grateful.

Still, I guarantee it's going to be pretty much that exact list of events. Always has been, always will be.

Like watching the orcs getting a pep talk from Sauron.

"I smell -- manflesh!"
