Speaker of the House John Boehner will no doubt tune up and cry when this is brought to his attention, but the fact is, it is first truthful statement to come out of his office in quite a while.

Actually, I thought the message was spot on, given the the GOP controlled House has made it crystal clear to the American people that they do not have any viable solutions for the problems facing 99% of use. Of course, if you are a member of the 1% or the military industrial complex, you will be taken care of.

You know, this is the season when companies and other institutions are interested in enhancing their reputation and their image for the general public, and one of the institutions that’s doing this is the Secret Service, particularly after the calamity in Colombia. And among the instructions given to the Secret Service agents was to try to agree with the president more and support his decisions. And that led to this exchange that took place last week, when the president flew into the White House lawn and an agent greeted him at the helicopter.

The president was carrying two pigs under his arms and the Secret Service agents said, “Nice pigs, sir.”

And the president said, “These are not ordinary pigs, these are genuine Arkansas razorback hogs. I got one for former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”

And the Secret Service agent said, “Excellent trade, sir.”

Safeway’s general counsel tells hilarious sexist joke at annual shareholder meeting

Well guffaw, guffaw.

FWIW, here is the quick email I dashed off to Safeway via the link provided at DailyKos in the article above.

I think the pig joke made by your general counsel pretty much reflects more on his quality (or lack thereof) as a human being than it does on Pelosi and Hillary Clinton, two of the more powerful and productive women public servants in the past 50 years.

So here is a simple message for Safeway, which I will carefully avoid on future trips to Indianapolis and Morris Street, since I and many others have discovered a simple, All American fact: if corporations and prominent people demonstrate they are sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise just flat out pigs, then boycott the hell out of them. It cost Rush Limbaugh’s network 2 million and counting so far. Heartland Institute has been dumped by 14 major corporations, and counting.

Oh, and by the way, I apologize to all pigs for my calling your general counsel a pig. I have known many pigs in my lifetime, and all of them were better human beings than your general counsel.

Supreme Court Favorability Hits New Low In New Pew Research

Why should anyone be surprised? SCOTUS is now literally the best court the Koch Bros and the wealthy, right wing supporters of the Federalist Society could buy.

They have worked for decades to engineer a majority on the court they can count on to vote not based on precedent and Constitutional law, including the amendments passed after the Civil War, and the interpretations of the Commerce Clause, which underlies the vast majority of Federal power and law.

They do not believe in them. They reject them. Their lackies on the court have been seen repeatedly attending the right wing conventions put together by the Koch brothers and other like minded leaders of the corporate oligarchic takeover of America, behavior which in the past was considered totally unacceptable for a sitting member of SCOTUS, because they are supposed to be above such partisan machinations. Not in this case. They were there to get their marching orders. There are many commentators with knowledge of Constitutional law that think the court will not violate the interpretation of the Commerce clause, and will uphold the health care reform act. I wish I were as confident and sanguine. We will see in within a couple of months, I guess, just which way the winds at the Supreme Court are blowing, and whether the commentator cited will be nodding in satisfaction, or shaking his head in utter disbelief.

As far as I can see, it sure looks pretty obvious that the oligarchy has paid good money to get their justices on the court, and now they intend to take them out for a spin.

What you are now seeing is a court that will vote at will to take the position of the corporate oligarchy and the far right wing in America, precedent and the Constitution and all its amendments be damned.

If you think Citizens United was something, just stay tuned. I suspect you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

My wife and I got to meet Jonathan George at the local Democratic headquarters yesterday. More than that, we had the opportunity to talk with him for a full 25 minutes.

It was a profoundly serious discussion, ranging from the need to pull our forces out of Afghanistan, end the war profiteering, end the privatization of the military and CIA, while insuring our military remains strong for justified and necessary future actions.

He served in high leadership positions under both the Bush / Cheney and Obama administrations. Having substantive conversations with the president, of either party, and communicating with him on issues, is nothing new to George.

We were very pleased to see that he understood and backed our stand on Medicare and Social Security, namely, these are not welfare programs, these are pension funds that we, at age 66, have paid into our whole lives. And even in retirement, as we are now in both programs, we pay over $7,200 per year for Medicare, supplemental medical, and prescription insurance coverage under the programs. That the GOP wants to just declare an end to these programs is unacceptable to us, and to him. He further understands that neither program is under immediate financial stress, that is a blatant GOP and right wing lie, and that simply taxing for both above the $110,000 and $185,000 level income ranges, instead of the current cut offs, will insure both programs are stable for the foreseeable future.

We found his entire manner refreshingly intelligent, insightful, informed, straightforward, forthcoming, yet balanced with the diplomatic skills that were clearly required for someone who functioned at the high and critical levels of the military and government which he did for many years.

Both of us are profoundly liberal and progressive in our views. George is a life long member of the NRA, but believes the radical stances of that organization, that makes it refuse to accept that maybe owning tanks and nuclear weapons is not really something individual citizens need, are not justifiable or reasonable. He emphasized from his own close interactions with and knowledge of Obama that the NRA claim that Obama wants to take away citizens’ guns is just pure, manufactured nonsense. Obama has taken no action or even hinted at any action in regard to “taking away people’s guns.” FWIW, we pointed out to him that we own handguns, and believe firmly in the right of citizens to do so.

But this relates to what we both understand about the mixed nature of the IN-09 district. Much of it is profoundly rural and conservative. And, to be blunt about it, the other supposedly more “progressive” candidates have pretty much a snowball’s chance in hell of defeating a Republican opponent in this district. And none of them have the deep experience and working knowledge of the military and government at the national level that George brings to the table.

Jonathan George will vote as a Democrat, and we think a good Democrat, not just another Blue Dog, but he will be able to appeal to all of the citizens of the district across the board in the general election in the Fall, and represent them fairly.

What is most important to us is getting the disastrous Todd Young out of office. He has hewed almost 100% to the mad Tea Party right wing philosophy of drowning the government in the bathtub, continuing the tax cuts for the super rich that maintain the current deficit, and voting on every piece of legislation that attacks women, for instance. He is an example of the very worst the GOP has to offer.

Jonathan George is not just an alternative, he is much more, he is a candidate that we feel we can truly get behind, support, and believe that he will not betray us once he gets to Washington. He also has the intelligence, experience, relations within the government and military to be a profoundly effective legislator and representative of the people of Indiana.

We intend to contribute to his campaign, and work to help him get elected. And we are encouraging all our friends to do the same.

They lie. Without hesitation. Without regard for the truth. They just make sh*t up on the fly.

Mitt RMoney, presumptive candidate for the GOP for the office of the Presidency, visits Ohio, stands in the middle of an empty warehouse floor, and proceeds to announce it is all Obama’s fault that this factory closed.

Problem with that assertion? The business was shut down under former President George Bush and VP Dick Cheney.

Mitt Romney visited an Ohio factory, closed when President George W. Bush was in office, to make the case that President Barack Obama’s economic policies prevented the facility and others like it from reopening.

Standing in the middle of an empty warehouse floor yesterday, Romney blamed Obama for promoting measures that have slowed the economic recovery.

“It would have reopened by now, but it’s still empty,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said. “It underscores the failure of this president’s policies with regards to getting the economy working again.”

Obama used the facility in Lorain, Ohio, that is owned by dry wall company National Gypsum (NGCO) Co. as a setting for his own campaign stop in February 2008.

“What I refuse to accept is that we have to stand idly by while workers watch their jobs get shipped overseas,” Obama said then. “We need a president who’s working as hard for you as you’re working for your families. And that’s the kind of president I intend to be.”

The Obama campaign shot back at Romney yesterday, charging him with misrepresenting the circumstances of the factory’s closing.

Romney Visits Factory Closed Under Bush, Blames Obama

This factory closed thanks to the economic policies and collapse that were caused by eight solid years of GOP administration, which turned one of the greatest surpluses in the history of the nation into a deficit, along with a collapse of banking, housing, and financial industries. This factory closed thanks to the outsourcing policies pushed for two decades by the corporate oligarchy to match their need to achieve as much short term profit as possible for themselves, regardless of the dire and negative consequences for America and the American workers.

It does really matter what Mitt Romney says. He will say something that contradicts anything he says 180 degrees with 24 hours. Sometimes within a matter of minutes. Certainly the next time he speaks to a different group of people. The man is not just a politician telling people what he wants. He is a serial liar, who would not know the truth if it walked up and hit him full in the face.

This is not even funny anymore. This man and the GOP are a clear and present danger to the future of this nation.

What does it say about how low the GOP has sunk when even the Washington Post prints a long article dissecting and analyzing what an utter, accomplished liar their presumptive nominee for the Presidency, Mitt Romney, is.

Among the attributes I most envy in a public man (or woman) is the ability to lie. If that ability is coupled with no sense of humor, you have the sort of man who can be a successful football coach, a CEO or, when you come right down to it, a presidential candidate. Such a man is Mitt Romney.

Time and time again, Romney has been called a liar during this campaign. (The various fact-checking organizations have had to work overtime on him alone.)
…
I admire a smooth liar, and Romney is among the best. His technique is to explain — that bit about not knowing what was in the ads — and then counterattack. He maintains the bulletproof demeanor of a man who is barely suffering fools, in this case Gingrich. His message is not so much what he says, but what he is: You cannot touch me. I have the organization and the money. Especially the money. (Even the hair.) You’re a loser.
…
But where Romney is different is that he is not honest about himself. He could, as he did just recently, stand before the National Rifle Association as if he were, in spirit as well as membership, one of them. In body language, in the blinking of the eyes, in the nonexistent pounding pulse, there was not the tiniest suggestion that here was a man who just as confidently once embodied the anti-gun ethic of Massachusetts, the distant land he once governed. Instead, he tore into Obama for the (nonexistent) threat the president posed to Second Amendment rights — a false accusation from a false champion.
…

Mitt Romney, a man of falsehoods

That’s today’s GOP. Being an accomplished liar is an accepted norm for running for the highest office in the land.

What does it say about the total failure of American journalism, the fact it has been owned and totally co-opted by and brought to heel by the American Corporate Oligarchy, that you have to watch Al Jazeera to get this news? Walter Cronkite, where are you when your country needs you? Thomas Jefferson, your watchdog the Fourth Estate is dead, it is now just a puppet appendage of the oligarchy.

Oh, and thanks again, BP, for your fine record of safety in the Gulf. I am sure somewhere you have CEOs putting bonuses in the bank for their excellent work.

And so what if this alarms scientists? Our leaders are not interested in the facts of science anymore. It tends to conflict too often with their created reality in which there is no global warming and the rich not paying any taxes insures the creation of new jobs, and destroying all regulation of business insures the safety of our food supply.

This is what galls me the most, and I send a fax to Congress critters every month or two reminding them.

Senate Republicans on Monday blocked a move to open debate on the so-called Buffett Rule, ensuring that a measure pressed for months by President Obama and Senate Democrats to ensure that the superrich pay a tax rate of at least 30 percent will not come to a decisive vote.

But the fierce debate preceding the 51-45 vote — the Democrats were nine votes short of the 60 they needed — set off a week of political wrangling over taxes that both parties insist they are already winning.

Senate Democrats intend to return repeatedly to the legislation, named after the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who has complained that he pays a lower effective tax rate than his secretary. On Thursday, House Republicans will counter with a proposed tax cut for businesses that they say would spur job creation but would cost the Treasury almost exactly what the Democrats’ tax increase would raise.

Republicans say they like that contrast, and their language ahead of the vote on a motion just to take up the Buffett Rule was harsh and aimed squarely at Mr. Obama, who first proposed a 30-percent tax rate floor for anyone earning at least $1 million a year last September. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican minority leader, went to the Senate floor and all but called Mr. Obama a liar.

In Senate, Republicans Block Debate on ‘Buffett Rule’

I am 66 years old. I have paid into Social Security since I started work at age 14 while still in high school. (Uncle Scrooge may have his number one dime; I still have the winter coat I bought myself with my first paycheck, tucked away in a chest of family treasures.) I have paid into Medicare since it started. My wife and my own vested payments and interest in those programs can be estimated to be worth at least a half million dollars or more total lifetime investment. Of my money. In two insurance programs.

These are not welfare programs. They are not unfunded entitlement programs. The only entitlement is this. I paid for this insurance. And the government owes me this money which I (and my wife) paid into our whole d*mned adult lives.

And in case you have not yet made the transition to Medicare and Social Security, you might be interested in the fact that the two of us pay Medicare premiums, supplemental medical insurance, and prescription coverage premiums every month that amount to $7,225.00 annually. It is not exactly a free welfare program, folks.

This is outright theft and hypocrisy of the first degree. The GOP will blow three trillion dollars on unfunded wars kept off the budget to pretend they don’t cost anything. Yet they are willing gladly to repudiate the government’s responsibility for $2.5 trillion dollars owed to the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds. The GOP is willing to simply default on the part of the national debt they owe senior citizens and retiring baby boomers. They raided the bank, blew the money, and now it is the citizens of American who are being told by Congress and the GOP that we can just kiss our pension money that we paid into those funds our entire lives goodbye.

But this is nothing new. The GOP opposed these “socialist” programs from the get-go. Under the leadership of their spiritual mentor, Grover Norquist, it is their avowed goal to strangle government in the bathtub, and destroy Social Security and Medicare.

In fact, this has been the GOP’s plan all along. Just default on the debt that’s payable to the Social Security trust fund, then turn around and lie through their teeth, as usual, to the American people, and claim that the trust fund is insolvent because we didn’t repay the debt. The corollary of course being that retirees who have counted on their savings in this trust fund their entire lives are basically just SOL.

That goal of the GOP, and sadly, some Democratic austerity and deficit hawks. Nothing more. Nothing less. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool. Anyone who believes there is actually a budget hidden in Rep. Ryan’s proposals is an idiot.

I find it very interesting that the Catholic Bishops, who were the Republicans good buddies a couple weeks ago when they decided banning contraception coverage for women was a winning strategy, have now denounced the Ryan budget proposal as an immoral attack on the poor and helpless of the nation. Suddenly House Speaker John Boehner has a sad, and thinks the Bishops need to just STFU. I expect Boehner to start crying over how mean this was of the Bishops any moment on national television. And Rep. Paul Ryan, front man for this GOP budget, has tried the tack of claiming, well, These are not all the Catholic bishops, and we respectfully disagree. Which seems to be a trend in his thinking. Je recently basically called the generals who put the current Pentagon budget proposal together a bunch of liars (quoted at the previous link):

“We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice,” he said. “We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the right budget.”

Because when science, or the generals, or the Catholic bishops disagree with the manufactured and made-up reality of the GOP, it makes Baby Jesus cry, I guess. Or at least House Speaker Boehner and Baby Face Ryan.

How can anyone contemplate voting for these monsters anymore? They have destroyed the economy; plunged us into two endless wars; bankrupted the treasury; helped their corporate buddies and banksters and hedge fund managers and war profiteers raid the American peoples tax payers pockets to cover up their own failed business actions and illegal activities. And they are doing their best to destroy the middle class, and let the three trillion dollars worth of rotting American infrastructure just collapse into rust, broken asphalt and concrete, and rubble. All just to regain total power and defeat Obama at any cost, just as was their plan from the beginning of his administration.

And they think I will ever vote for them again? Ever?

House Republican leaders began the year with an embarrassing defeat over extending the 2012 payroll tax holiday. Democrats held their ground and insisted that the payroll tax cut either be paid for with a mix of spending cuts and higher taxes on the wealthy, or not at all — no more of the GOP’s cuts-only approach. The GOP blinked and agreed to add more than $100 billion to the debt, rather than accept even a penny in higher taxes on the wealthy, or face the blame for allowing the payroll tax cut to lapse.

Weeks later, Republicans unveiled their new budget, written by Rep. Paul Ryan, which includes steep tax cuts and military-spending increases — both of which run counter to the deficit-cutting ethos to which the GOP laid claim. Some of their own conservative members have grumbled that the plan does not adequately deal with the deficit.

“We took a pledge, and we said we would cut more than is being cut,” Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said after the budget was unveiled.

The contrast is particularly stark this week: Senate Republicans blocked the Buffett Rule, dismissing its capacity to raise $47 billion over 10 years, while House Republicans are pushing a broad business tax cut that would add $46 billion to the deficit in just one year. On top of that, House committees are now looking for ways to override automatic cuts to defense spending they agreed to last August as a means of enforcing the controversial debt-limit deal.

How Republicans Threw In The Towel On Deficit Reduction

Of course, the best thing Congress could do is just quit passing any laws for now in regard to deficit reduction. And combine this with just letting the Bush tax cuts expire, since they were a key element and represent nearly a third of the accumulated deficit since they went into effect.

From the Congressional Budget Office:

Deficit in 2012: The federal budget is projected to show a deficit of nearly $1.2 trillion in 2012. Relative to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), that shortfall will equal 7.6 percent—about 1 percentage point less than the deficit recorded last year but still higher than any deficit between 1946 and 2008.

Deficits over the 2013-2022 period: Under current law, deficits are projected to drop markedly in the next few years and to average 1.4 percent of GDP over the 2013–2022 period. Much of that projected decline occurs because, under current law, revenues will rise considerably as a share of GDP—from 15.8 percent in 2012 to 19.8 percent in 2014 and 21.2 percent in 2022.

Federal Debt: With deficits small relative to the size of the economy, the amount of federal debt held by the public would drop from nearly 76 percent of GDP in 2013 to 61 percent in 2022—still higher than in any year between 1953 and 2009.

CBO Releases Updated Budget Projections for Fiscal Years 2012 to 2022

Of course the GOP does not care about the facts or reality. They manufacturer their own reality. And when the facts do not suit their fevered fantasies, they just lie through their teeth and make stuff up.

Here’s an idea. Put those mothers to work as janitors in the schools with Newt’s child janitor replacements. What a win win situation. We add both poor women and poor children to the pool of available free labor as part of the growing serfdom class in thrall and bondage to the 1%.

This is where the GOP is taking this nation. The destruction of every bit of progress in social justice and protection of rights from exploitation established over the past century.

They don’t want to go back just to the 1950′s. Or back to the pre-Civil war, getting rid of those pesky amendments passed after the war and that pesky Emancipation Proclamation that obviated the 3/5 of a person written into the original Constitution.

Heck, the original Constitution without the pesky Bill of Rights is not far enough.

They would like to go back to the Middle Ages pre-Magna Carta, as far as I can tell.

Feudalism, and liege Lords. That is the GOP of the current American political culture.

Starting next year, the check will no longer be in the mail for millions of people who receive Social Security and other government benefits.

The federal government, which issues 73 million payments a month, is phasing out paper checks for all benefit programs, requiring people to get payments electronically, either through direct deposit or a debit card for those without a bank account.

The changes will affect people who get Social Security, veterans’ benefits, railroad pensions and federal disability payments. Tax refunds are exempt, but the Internal Revenue Service encourages taxpayers to get refunds electronically by processing those refunds faster than paper checks.

About 90 percent of people who receive federal benefits already get their payments electronically, the Treasury Department says. New beneficiaries were required to get payments electronically starting last year, and with a few exceptions, the rest will have to make the switch by March 2013.

“It’s just that natural progression of moving to how people are used to receiving their funds,” said Walt Henderson, director of the Treasury Department’s electronic funds transfer division.

On the one hand, I will admit that I do the vast majority of my banking and financial transactions electronically now, although I still insist on paper bills from all companies and services. I will admit I have been waiting to see just when companies decide they have reached critical mass, and will no longer ask me again and again, every time I logon, whether I would not like the convenience of no paper bills, but would prefer to receive my bills by email now. I feel certain that with a couple of years, they will just tell me that is the way it is going to be, get over it, and stop printing and mailing paper bills.

It all seems so logical.

But then it occurs to me that, despite the fact that 90% of Americans already are doing direct deposit of their Social Security checks, that there are many, possibly millions, in America, living without a permanent address and definitely not a bank account, many out on the street. What about them?

And there are probably a lot of Luddites and other reactionaries who just don’t want to invest themselves in the move to being electronically connected and a participant in Total Information Awareness.

But then, we as a society seem to be ready to abandon them completely, so why not here, too?

But then this and the current political climate in America got me to thinking. Here’s a great idea. This would enhance the savings and create other great benefits for the government, as well.

Why not a computer chip implanted in everyone in early childhood. It could store all medical and economic information, and better yet, it could host a GPS, so the government could track citizens at all times. And all financial transactions could be handled via this computer link. You won’t even have to carry credit or debit cards, the chip will host RFID and proximity scanners will read it in the check out lane. When you fly, the scanner will already know if you are safe to let on board the plane, or whether you are a potential terrorist on the no-fly watch list, like apparently several million other dubious and shifty eyed Americans. You will carry your entire medical history around with you, easily available to any medical personnel. The FDA has reportedly already approved such chips. This would also insure all transactions could be monitored easily. In real time, even. Such a boon to insuring that no one will attack us because they are jealous of our freedoms ever again. There are reports from back in 2006 that one Ohio company was already requiring employees to have such chips for identification embedded.

There was a time in my callow youth back in the nineteen-fifties when, as a devout fan of scifi, I revealed in such imaginary technological dystopias, and imagined authoritarian regimes, always thanking my lucky stars I had not bee born in Russia or Hitler’s German, and even more thankful such technology had not been available to them. “1984″ and “Brave New World” were cautionary tales I took to heart. And I had thought most people had read or knew of them, and that the defeat the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century had taught us the lessons of what evil we inflict on each other when we form our societies in these fashions. KBG and Stasi were dirty words forever.

Lucky me to have now lived to see America living under the Patriot Act, and knowing that thanks to government data taps in key points nationwide, and the current construction of new centralized facilities to monitor, store, and analyze all electronic traffic on the Internet and phone systems, all my reading habits are being stored away and analyzed, all my emails read, all my phone calls monitored, my retail purchases listed and collated and flagged. And now, thanks to the Koch owned Supreme Court, my anal cavity can be examined even if I am arrested for just a parking ticket.

Of course, those who have turned a blind eye to this trend because it suited their political leanings have always been ready to point out that if you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about. Of course. How could I have been so confused as to think there might be a problem here. Besides, as many have repeatedly pointed out, the Supreme Court was wrong to have ever suggested that there was a protection of personal privacy anywhere in the Constitution, since it is not explicitly enumerated. I am sure the Founding Fathers would not have a problem with any of these developments. Especially not Ben Franklin, he would probably be inventing bifocal RFID chip scanners. And I am sure George Washington would support this sort of total power by the government. After all, he did want to be King, didn’t he? Or am I remembering that wrong.

Oh Brave New World. How lucky I am to have lived to see it emerging in reality, rather than just having to read about it in the pages of fictional novels and stories.

Yes, great are the boons of technology in the hands of the power structure of a government willing to use it.

George Zimmerman Affidavit of Probable Cause

Here is what the case boils down to, and why Zimmerman was charged.

Zimmerman was ordered by police not to pursue Martin. He pursued him and shot him to death. That right there is the absolute end of any defense under the stand your ground law. That law does not say, OK, go and pick a fight, and if the person responds and defends themself, then it is OK to shoot them. And I suspect that is why the charge is second degree homicide, and not manslaughter.

I find it non-surprising that those on the ultra right and the full bore racist end of the spectrum are now attacking the prosecutor for being a commie liberal with political ambitions. Why, only two days ago, she was an extremely conservative Republican with excellent bone fides, appointed to this case by the most conservative governor in the history of the state.

If you want to swim in the racist gene pool, you have to look no further than the Fox News web site’s comments. This diary recorded a lot of them, in case Fox scrubbed them from their site. Reading these comments reassures me that my cynicism regarding the d*mned human race remains justified. I just checked the original story on Fox News site, and indeed, the comments have been removed. Here is a link to the story at Fox News, although the comments have disappeared, now: Zimmerman To Be Charged by Florida Special Prosecutor.

Fox News Racist Commenters React to Zimmerman Being Charged

Here is another blog that archived the racists comments.

Fox News Commenters Unleash Unholy Racist Hell Following Zimmerman’s Murder Charges

The blog Little Green Footballs, which is definitely a conservative leaning site, but more rational than most, posted quite a collection of the racist screeds being posted at Fox News in their comments on an earlier news story about the DOJ opening an investigation, as well, back in March. Here again, the article has now been scrubbed of comments by the Fox News team, every fair balanced in their pursuit of truth, justice, and the American way.

FWIW, here is a link to the original article at Fox News: Department of Justice opens investigation into case of black teenager killed by neighborhood watch captain. The author at Little Green Footballs says there were over 3,000 comments, and as he puts it, before quoting a large selection of comments, then closing afterwards:

This opens the door for more than 3,000 comments from the Fox News audience, packed with whiny right wing victimhood and overt racism.
…
OK. That’s all I could take. But the comments like these go on and on and on — there are thousands of them. And many of the ugliest comments received numerous “likes” from other readers.

The right wing base is sick to its core.

Just for the record, here is a sampling of the pearls of wisdom from the posters at Fox News on this story. And I am sure that all of them, if confronted with their racist remarks, would vigorously deny they are racists, and in fact accuse who ever called them a racist a racist for pointing out their racism to them. That is how their minds work.

These people, by the way, are the core supporters the GOP has sought to gather under their banner as reliable voters since the emergence of the so-called “Southern Strategy” several decades ago, when it became necessary to pretend you were not a racist.

It is the O.J. Simpson trial all over again. Facts do not matter … when the political left smells BL00D.
The race card is the only card that Obummer has left to play.
If it looks like he might not win the next election … look for things to get so bad that martial law is declared … and Obummer is deemed to be re elected…
TEA anyone?

ourselves against punks anymore.

Put me on the Jury. I’ll get revenge for the OJ trial. No way this guys gets convicted. If you’re white, you must be right!

Not surprising considering the media and liberals have already and publicly tried and convicted Zimmerman. All that’s left now is for the B lack Panthers to put on white robes and throw a rope over a tree limb. Of course Eric Holder and the compliant liberal media would somehow justify such an illegal act.

Time to disassociate from Blax. We have done everything we can for them since the civil war where we lost almost 600,000 whites fighting on their behalf. They have no appreciation and still hate us. No matter how much we give them, they continue the racist march. Don’t hire them or befriend them…they have proven they cannot be trusted to be intelligent and fair. Blax are only concerned for other Blax…they care nothing about anyone else.

If I was on this jury I couldn’t find him guilty just because Al Sharpton and Eric Holder have already convicted him. What the jury will be asked to do is to find this man guilty because of drummed up community outrage by b l a c k racists. He is guilty simply because a b l a c k man was killed, forget about the facts

Sharpton, Jackson and their “NoLimitNigga” chain gang are racial terr orists. They do nothing but stir up hatred with their race baiting and inflamatory speech. All they do is try to incite violence with their gold tooth rhetoric. But you don’t see the other “NoLimitNiggas” in the WHITE house or the Dept of Injustice arresting these criminals or the DHS investigating them for their terr orist activities. Guess jungle fever is spreading like wildfire now.

So lets see, your bläck… you are a wanna be thug… you attack someone
and get yourself kìlled and YOU ARE THE HERO / INNOCENT VICTIM …..
you are non-bläck and defend yourself from bodily harm and having your
skull crushed by being slammed into the pavement repeatedly and shòot
and kìll said bläck wanna be thùg YOU ARE THE BAD GUY? …. if people
want to talk about Zimmermans intent, and actions prior to this incident
then lets also look at prior actions of martin… 1) walking around
looking suspicious in a neighborhood that has had a problem…

“Special Prosecutor Reportedly Will Charge George Zimmerman in Fatal Shooting of Trayvon Martin”
Translation: In a desperate move to maintain his base in the face of the highest blàck unemployment in recent history, President Obama pressures special prosecutor Angela Corey to charge Zimmerman pander to a ginned-up and ill-informed blàck community.

BIack people, would you please stop crying and bitching? It’s getting old. Time to man up, fellas. Time to quit acting like a bunch of mouthy ho’s, ladies. I swear, you’re a bunch of professional victims, and quite frankly, I’m tired of you butchering the English language, dressing like street trash and thinking everyone owes you something. Grow up, bIack people. Enough is enough.
