This post presents a great example of dog whistle racism in today's politics. And there are so many more!

We're tracking political race baiting at www.stopdogwhistleracism.com. We find the good, bad and ugly from the right, left and center about race in the race. Visit us today for a non-partisan take on the race card, and the race card card, in today's politics.

Hope to see you at StopDog!

Glenn, just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this post and for the unsparing and dead-on language you used to describe what is happening as we watch McCain and the Republican party and everything they stand for collapse around them. It's sad that this final gasp of hatred, lies and filth is coming from the mouth of McCain, someone I truly used to respect and who has, many times, actually taken on the worst ideas and elements of his party. In many ways, it's a tragedy.

It's impossible for him to change now, because he's in such a bubble, but I wish he would go down nobly and with dignity instead of what we are witnessing. His defeat will be crushing, because nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time as come, especially when Obama is the messenger!

If you move out of that double-wide and into a single-wide, you might be able to afford a new keyboard where the shift key doesn't stick (and -- provided you curb your keyboard wanking too -- it may stay functional for a while). And better news yet for you: spell checkers are free.

Cheers,

[to Glenn]: You are full of yourself which is very unwarranted.

But I guess all your fellow Obamabots eat it up.

Are you auditioning for "Minister Of Information" of The Peoples Republic of Obaba-Land?

Your thoughts are not only thin and shallow, they are boring and repetitive.

Some kind of skinny parrot

Pretty lame. Maybe you could get a schtick writing for Faux Snooze's lame (and derivative) "Half Hour News Hour"; click sig for link. Oh. Rrrrriiigght, nevermind, that got canceled for lack of discernible talent.

Cheers,

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it rather telling that the certain members of the far-right regard learning a second language as the ultimate betrayal of one's patriotism? I just think it sounds ridiculous when guys like Bobby May act as if learning a second language is akin to getting an STD. It's as if the prospect of broadening one's horizons sends a shiver into the very soul of 'mainstreet U.S.A.', wherever that is. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that two-years of foreign language was a requirement for graduation at my public highschool...Oh well, so was computer literacy. Mark down one more High School equivalence deficiency for the GOP ticket...

Russia is getting rich on oil wealth and we are on a downward trajectory -- in debt, entangled in a money-draining, winless war in Afghanistan (and an even more expensive winless war in Iraq).

Russia doesn't have to support an occupational military in Eastern Europe anymore.

We support an occupational military in the Middle East and Central Asia.

In the USSR, you could be picked up off the street and taken to a gulag to be tortured or locked away in a psychiatric hospital.

In today's America, men who should be locked up in a psychiatric ward (like Dick Cheney) can have you plucked off the street and tortured and sent away to "outsourced" gulags in Cuba, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

Democratic foreign countries are asking Russia for economic aid.

Take a good look. This is the Bush/Cheney legacy.

..last year I spoke with many people who lived through Nazism and then through Communism and none could really explain how it all happened to them. I suspect there are many Americans feeling the same about the 8 torturous, mind bending years of the Bush regime. The sobering thought is this. The economic and soico-political parallels with pre-Nazi Germany are open and obvious to anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge when it somes to 21st century America.

1. A ruling class run by industrailist oligarchs hell bent on retaining control of the means of production and distribution at any cost to the citizenry, including the destruction of civil liberties.

2. An intellectually bankrupt and corrupt party (the Repugs) willing and able to do their bidding

3. An underlying rump of morons wishing to join the elites as they trough out on the nations wealth calling themselves the "middleclass."

4.A military whose defeat in Vietnam has hardened their resolve to prove their prowess at ANY cost.

5. An artifically constructed economic collapse wherein the working class are cowed into submission by the wealthy and then led to believe it is the fault of mortgage defaulting minorities or Semitic terrorists and home grown terrorists.

6. An efficient and complacent media which serves up propagnada to a gullible and fearful public and then promises deliverance through more subjugation and destruction of their rights.

7. Rampant nationalism parading as patriotism

8. Religious bigotry and racist hatred

The parallels are frightening and more so because of the global reach these fascists now possess.

If I were an American today I would be fearful of the continuing rise of Republican fascism. I would also be fearful of the chaos from the economic meltdown and its effect on the nations communal sovereignty as the politics of divide and conquer increase in their rabid intensity.

This is a testing time for the fragile notions that sustain democracy and the world watches with bated breath to see if the citizens of America will once more rise up against the onslaught of fascism. The only difference this time is that the fascists are right there in your own neighbourhoods.

Hitler silenced his detractors. Glenn I admire your courage and hope that true patriots and freedom lovers like you are never ever silenced again. We live in hope. As we say here in Australia,which incidentally got rid of our version of fascism last year when Howard was deleted from the political stage..Good on ya mate.
