More Republican morons

Two moronic skinheads were driving around threatening to shoot black children at school and then drive by to shoot Obama from their car. There is apparently no reason to think they had a serious plan or that Obama was ever in danger or if they were smart enough to execute such a plan. But what would you expect after McCain, and especially Palin, works her crowds to the point where they yell out things like “bomb him,” “shoot him,” “kill him,” and so on.

Then there is the Texas girl who falsely claimed she was attacked by a huge black man because of her McCain bumper sticker. After sympathy calls from both McCain and Palin she finally confessed it was all made up. She was apparently a paid representative of some Young Republican group (I guess they teach them dirty tricks while relatively young).

And now, predictably, one of these right-wing loony groups is sponsoring an ad linking Obama once again to the Reverend Wright. The Reverend is widely accused of being anti-American. As far as I know, no one has seriously defended him from this charge. Interestingly enough, Wright served honorably in our military and mostly preaches good will towards all. As evidence for his anti-Americanism they play a video in which he says at one point “god damn America.” This was in the context of a sermon he gave about the fact that American troops were killing innocent civilians, including children. I guess he was supposed to praise them for that? But, of course, truth has nothing to do with the stories they spread about Obama and others, nothing at all. Consider this Republican description of Obama through the eyes of Ed Naha on Smirking Chimp today:

“Today, after a manic McCain makeover, Obama's a baby-killing, out of touch, latte drinking, inexperienced, conniving, messianic, communistic, terrorist-loving, anti-American, gay marriage promoting, Caucasian hating, vote-rigging, Boy Scout destroying, Doomsday-bringing, Nazi-emulating, troop-hating, dictatorial, secretive, Welfare-promoting watermelon connoisseur Marxist who might cause our entire nation to implode. Oh, yeah, he's probably also Islamo-socialisticexpialidocious. Even just the thought of it is really quite atrocious. And he puts "Hollywood above America," too.”

In their latest desperation bid to salvage at least something out of the McCain/Palin disaster they are issuing dire warning of what might happen if the Democrats are allowed to capture all three branches of government, the House, Senate, and White House. When they controlled all three branches for six years they thought it was wonderful (and acted accordingly). Remember when they wouldn’t even allow the Democrats to use a proper meeting room, and held votes open longer than usual in order to insure their passage, and met behind closed doors to draft legislation without even consulting Democrats? Now that the shoe may be on the other foot they are whining and crying like babies. If Democrats can control all three branches they may actually be able to do something for a change. What a breath of fresh air it would be to not have a clique of Republicans who, although a minority, can literally block everything. It is only fitting they should have a dose of their own poisonous medicine.

Some think Sarah the witch is trying to position herself for a run for President in 2012. I suppose she might try to run but I doubt she will get anywhere. Some senior Republicans have already said that the day after the inauguration Mitt Romney will be the titular head of their party. If Mormons breed just a bit faster they may have a majority by then. I still wonder if Romney wears the magical underwear and follows closely the teaching of the Angel Moroni. Personally, I think they should make Joe Lieberman head of their party. He is reputedly looking for a home once again.
