Mitt Romney says single mothers are the cause of mass shootings.
Mitt Romney says 47% of Americans are parasites not worthy of his time.
A billionaire in Australia says workers should work for $2 a day if they're to be competitive.
Some other idiot says children born out of wedlock should be taken away and their parents killed.
Todd Akin says a "legitimate rape" can't lead to pregnancy.
Charlie Fuqua (another Republican) talks about the Biblical Book of Leviticus justifying killing rebellious kids.

This got plenty of air time on the underground media - the left-of-center blogs, DU, what have you.

But none of that shit got as much air time as even the shitfest I watched on TV about Obama's response to the embassy attack in Benghazi, which the media thought was weak.

Even the war on women BARELY took longer than the Benghazi incident to jump the shark on prime time TV. No wonder Todd Akin is so close to winning... I haven't heard about him AT ALL on TV. AT ALL!!! There seems to be no way to get people pissed off at this shit in a big way. You talk about raising taxes on the rich, though, and the firestorm is on.

Obama's going to win this. But we've got bigger problems than the increasingly unlikely scenario of an Obama loss. Yes, bigger problems than even that. Romney should be in a position that makes even Bob Dole (see: his campaign against Clinton) laugh at him. He should end this campaign in November with 0 electoral votes. At the very least, Romney should have zero support among women and independent voters. ZERO. But he is still hanging onto Obama's leg like a bulldog with no teeth. This goes beyond our GOTV performance, beyond voter suppression, and even beyond the media.

The real problem is that we have a culture of sheer evil that dominates this country. In this country way too many people yawned when Republicans threw around rape like it's a joke, attacked women for using birth control, talked about killing unwed parents, and yapped about how useless 47% of the country is. We have politicians who utter this shit knowing full well that the damage will be limited among the general populace at worst, and in the most likely case won't even bother their Republican base.

Despite all this madness, Obama still stands one big slip-up away from defeat. One.

A culture that stands one bullshit gaffe away from electing a monster who associates with monsters such as those listed above, is one that is as close to beyond rehabilitation as one can get without taking us back to Germany in 1939.

You live next to these people who couldn't be bothered to give a shit about calling 47% of Americans parasites. These people will linger long after Romney is beaten. You should be terrified of them: there is something broken in their souls that will come to allow worse sentiments than this to fester.
