The Rovian con artist's of this world fully understand the nature of weak and pliable minds who are susceptible to influence and conditioning. Like a skilled surgeon, these hi-flying con-artists push just the right combination of issue oriented buttons (in sync) to attack the lemming's sleeping psyche. You might say they are serving up a steady Manchurian-lite diet to these starving fools.

All the Right really has to do is provide meals of bullshit and divisivness, and these rubes are ready and waiting with their giant bibs and meat forks.

But just when I want to feel badly for them, I realize they are really more afraid of losing their feeling of privilege over so many other people, especially the president. And they use excuses like "freedom" and "freedom of religion".

Suddenly I am reminded of that Burt Lancaster film "Elmer Gantry". Maybe Mitt has seen it?

It's really is scary to listen to all these people mouth the wingnuts soundbites. That's all they have! They've been listening to Rush and Fox for 4 years. "He had a chance to bring people together and he blew it". Give me a break. These ass holes never wanted to give him a chance. How I hope to see them stew in their own hate and live to see they were wrong all along.

Thank you for that video, and thank you Republicans.

Buddhist threat. Check.

Some terrifying examples:
Promoting the homosexual agenda: The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
The root of Obamacare: Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Self-Conquerization, whatever that is: It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
On immigration: In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

I'll get one and start shooting before Obama forces Sharia Law© on me! This country can't take 4 more years of Obama! Aren't you afraid of what he'll do?


To which I replied, 'No, I'm not worried at all. None of us up here are worried about Obama.'

I had to get off the phone. Wonder if I'll get that Christmas card in return for the one I always send her.

Oh, wait, she doesn't do Christmas cards. Or church. She gets her religious instruction from Glenn...

I highly recommend going though their archives and checking out their previous work. The queue at the Sarah Palin book signing was legendary, as was the one they did at the Glenn BecKKK rally thing.

Thanks for posting!

does it make a sound?' How the hell should these poor Ohioains know? They weren't there. Are they supposed to ask the squirrels or something?

or "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" I think it is kind of like "whoosh..whooosh" but honestly who knows.

Buddhists are asking too many questions and then THEY don't have the answer either! What's up with that! I al 'okay what IS the sound of one hand clapping?" and they're like "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

Nov 2012

Not a single functioning brain cell among 'em. As a Michigander, it'd be too easy to slam the Fuckeyes but we have the same gene pool on the west side of our state.

My ex-wife and ex-in-laws are Fucktard Buckeyes from Columbus and I spent a GREAT deal of time immersed in the GOP "state-of-mind" .... which is VERY much inclined to see "them" as unAmerican and not hard-working and somehow eating white babies by the light of every full moon.

It's unfortunate that Election Day is so close to Halloween ... since the mindset is identical. Muslims hiding under the bed. Monsters in the dark. FUD. Every dark and twisted aspect of their own personalities are projected onto "the other" and they cling to their crosses and holy water to fend off the soul-suckers coming to feast on their virginal brains which have never been sullied by a rational thought.

It's astonishing how they can mirror the exact same behavior that is evident in some of the most reprehensible regimes in the history of mankind ... and, at the same time, hear the echo of their own rants and accuse "the other."

I kept expecting to see someone I know.

I understand when the poster says Ohio voters are stupid he means those Buckeye in particular, but those are the exceptions here in NE Ohio. The people in that video are very frustrated that they are a 30% minority in Mahoning (and Trumbull) county. This is a Democratic stronghold that votes 2 to 1 for sane candidates. I don't doubt some of those morans drove over from Canton.

Sean Hannity does a great job of supplying his fans with key words and names they don't understand.

The video demonstrates that a significant percentage of people are voting for Romney out of fear and ignorance. The ignorance is of their own doing - a result of the community and culture in which they are immersed. And the fear is manufactured by the right wing "intelligentsia" (Koch, Fox, etc.).

And, I use the term 'intelligentsia' to convey a concept of the type of power involved. I don't mean to imply that there is any significant intelligence in the conservative community.

They're even spouting random stuff from the last election, Ayers, Wright, etc.

We make fun of it but Fox news has given these type of voters no reason to think about what they're saying even a little bit--it just provides excuses not to vote for a black man.

Honestly, I sometimes think there should be some sort of simple test to show you've at least paid a little bit of attention to the world, or that you have critical thinking skills before casting a vote.

Letting ignorant people blindly walk into a booth and vote their prejudices is no way to run a country.
