Barack Hussein Obama Eats Christian Babies For Brunch

“The really dangerous American fascist…is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power….” Vice President Henry Wallace in 1944

Here’s some edifying interviews with the mob supporting McCain/Palin in Strongville, Ohio.

Here they are in Bethlehem Pennsylvania:

It’s difficult to imagine a more misinformed group of people. The fat bastard who said ‘she should pay double’ for a rape kit should win some sort of prize. Several of the mouthbreathers managed without a hint of irony to spit out a fresh talking point about ACORN that had just been planted in their brains. That the GOP’s ‘October Surprise’ looks to be the massive disenfranchisement of voters in swing states gives this irony a particularly bitter tang.

The US and global financial system is collapsing. McCain’s proposed solutions enrage thinking conservatives who have a grasp of economics which only leaves him with a base of frustrated racists who are too busy shrieking to listen to reason. They are so loud that even the MSM has noticed them. This audience of reality challenged ignoramuses see themselves in Sarah Palin, and it fills their tiny hearts with something that approximates glee to imagine themselves wielding vast power. It’s like an elated anger or pleasurable rage, I suppose. 

I feel sad that John McCain has found himself here. I would have voted for him in 2000 and have said many times over the years that everything would have been different if he had been President instead of Bush. It is true that he has bucked his party and demonstrated ability to work in a bipartisain way, and I respected him for that. Perhaps it is the lure of power, the thought of capping off his resume’ with ‘President’, that has seduced him to such lows. Even now, he seems to be trying to rein in this beast he has unleashed, but it growled and snapped at his hand. He deserved a better end to his career than this.

It is easy to sound hysterical with panic when talking about current events, but it’s not every day that the Dow Jones fluctuates over 1,000 points. In fact, yesterday was the only day that’s ever happened so far. Very sober and serious people are talking about economic conditions even more dire than the Great Depression. At the least, it is clear that there is no quick stitch that will let the game resume as it had been played before. This is a very bad time for politicians to engage in demagougery by fanning the flames of hate with lies and divisive propaganda. Not that there’s a particularly good time for that sort of thing, but spooking the herd in the midst of a crisis is a very bad idea.
