The cannot be beat

because the represent ignorance itself, which infects more than half of the U.S. population of preening ignoramus redneck baboons, people too stupid to know their own economic interests and eager to "stick it" to those they are taught to hate.

They have the greatest disinformation operation in world history, AM talk radio in every city and town in American provides the public square and it is relentlessly far-right with no concern for the truth whatsoever. Add Faux News and you have a juggernaut that has duped a hundred million willfully ignorant rednecks, including large percentages of racists and neo-Nazis who frequently act upon the misinformation with violence, shooting up a children's play in a liberal church, or swamping the Secret Service with threats against the President too numerous to even trace.

Of course we can hope that Obama organizes his 10 million wired into a force as ferocious as it is smart, but right now it is dwarfed by the right's juggernaut, which is gearing up to roll this Man from Hope the same way it did the last one. This is why the world remains skeptical, agreeing with "the most trusted man in America" Walter Cronkite, that there really is no recovery from this level of ignorance, so profound that no democracy can survive it.

Taken down by the dumbest people on earth

The U.S. is plagued by a hundred million know-nothing rednecks who have been whipped into a reactionary political force by right wing talk radio and Faux News. There is virtually no way to defeat such know nothings when it comes to blocking progress since this is what they are geared to do even more than win elections.

The rest of the world has surveyed the ruin of the U.S. and pronounced its agreement with our former "most trusted man in America" Walter Cronkite, who waid we no longer have the critical reasoning capacity to support a democracy. Sure, Obama represents another great hope and chance, but we saw how the rightist tricksters and their redneck baboon dupes rolled the last Man from Hope. We are pretty much finished off by the ignorance.

Only one way to overcome right wing AM takeover

This is the greatest disinformation operation in world history, one in which dirty tricksters pirated almost the entire AM talk radio dial and installed a dirty disinformation operation that has duped 50 million know-nothing rednecks into an army which took over and wrecked the US. They rolled Clinton and will roll Obama in short order, unless...

The Obama admin must appoint FCC commissioners who revive the Fairness principle that good-faith efforts must be made at achieving balance in order for licenses to be renewed. Period.

"WIll Obama ask soldiers to give up romaine, bacon....?

Idiocy. What's wrong with MRE's that our troops ate in every war before? The only reason they set up these full scale cafeterias is because they designed a long term occupation, not a brief "liberation" they claimed like in 1991. The idea that the issue would become culinary, with soldiers adding 10 pounds average, in a war we entered illegally and should not even be there, ruining our reputation permanently throughout the world, is asinine. The world isn't even going to accept us back into the community of nations until Obama completes his promise to get our troops out NOW!

Call the what they are

They were allowed to take over the country because liberals were too polite to call them what they are: redneck baboons. These dupes of the dirtiest rightwing tricksters on history, powering the greatest rightwing disinformation juggernaut in history, succeeded in bringing the U.S. to total ruin, and won't be satisfied until they allowed to complete the job.

There is no reasoning with this faction, perhaps 100 million willfully ignorant know-nothings. They snap up any red meat hate issue tossed their way because their inner toilet of hatreds needs to be filled. They are ruiners of civilization, the sum and total reason why the U.S. doesnt even take its place among the modern nations in services it provides, yet our children will pay more taxes than these "socialist" countries just to pay off the debt run up to preclude them from any of the services other nations take for granted, the hallmarks of civilization, enemy of the American redneck baboon.

Rightists threatening revolution on Politico

Over the past year, the comments section of the Politico has taken a violent lurch to the right. Apparently linked to Free Republic regularly now, the formerly combative forum has become a virtual Obama smear site where nothing is too racist or vile to say about the President. And lately the smears have morphed into threats against the President, and promises of armed revolution. Several of the rightist lunatics held a discussion amongst themselves the other night about whether the military will go along with their promised armed revolution against Obama.

I'm not sure there is another mainstream site (yes I know about the ownership of Politico, which is another matter) that offers a more stark example of what the right is up to, and the news of the DHS report has set them off even more.

Politico comments section taken over by farthest right

Over the past year, driven largely by links from Drudge and Freak Republic, the Politico comments section has moved from center to the far right fringe. Most of the mainstream commenters were driven out by redneck baboons posting nonstop smears against Obama, the lowest most vile smears you will find anywhere on the web.

Lately the rightists are openly plotting armed revolution and having pages-long discussion threads about whether the military will go along with their planned coup against Obama. I wonder if the Feds are even aware. It was this same Freak Republic crowd that vomited Tim McVeigh and helped him openly plot his takedown of the OKC Federal Building. It seems to be happening again.
