Republican Dirty Tricks

Spewing dead-end Republican talking points like a perpetual regurgitation machine, Palin found an enthusiastic reception this past Sunday on Corporate America’s protection racket and propaganda channel, Fox News, where she went over the same old dead end policies that have brought America to the brink of disaster with a wink and a smile and promised more of the same if God wills her to run for President.

Fresh from her speaking engagement at the first ever convention of Teabaggers where Palin was caught amateurishly referencing cheat-notes of the same old dead-end Republican talking points written on her hand, she poured on her “folksy charm” wrapped in her MIFL (Maverick I’d Like to ‘F*%#’) brand – cleverly coupled with the intent to further confuse the barely literate “everyman” Republican constituents who “want their county back” from the African American their fellow citizens legally elected to help protect them from the exploitations of the very corporations they loudly rally to support.

As President Obama’s continues to pine for Republicans like a battered spouse pining for his abuser, lets not fool ourselves… Republicans have no interest in tackling the enormous problems their dead-ender policies have inflicted on our nation due to the fact that they are not sharing the same reality as normal people.

Frank Shaefer put it best when he  said, “a village cannot reorganize village life to suit the village idiot“ when referring to those (mostly Republicans) who believe that problems facing our planet are not to be tackled because Jesus will be right down to smite the wicked.   Now the research commissioned by Markos Moulitsas for the Daily Kos website conducted by Research 2000, the nonpartisan research firm confirms the worst concerns of normal people (non-Republicans) that the “Party of No” is no more to be reasoned with than a child can be reasoned out of the belief of the monster in their closet after they blame it for wetting the bed.

The research is fascinating; but it would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that the Republican Party and the disconnected fools that support it were not currently so successful in their mission to turn “The Land of the Free” into “The United States of Serfs and Lords” with the American Taliban securely enshrined in the halls of power to keep the Sheeple from demanding their reward on Earth rather than in Heaven.

Ed Schultz and Markos Moulitsas discuss the new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll revealing the crazy views of Republican voters:

Warren Buffett, one of the two richest men in the world knows that workers are losing the class war in spite of the repetitious drum beat of “free market” and “personal responsibility/pull yourself up by your bootstrap” metaphors heard incessantly on the right wing media. In 2006 he stated to the New York Times,

“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

Yes, the upper classes are winning since the time of Ronald Reagan and the outright assault on New Deal policies that CREATED the American Middle Class. This assault is no accident. Just read the Powell Memo and the plots are clearly mapped out in front of our own lying eyes.

Glenn Beck recently aired his so-called “documentary” titled “The Revolutionary Holocaust: Live Free Or Die” which propagated Jonah Goldberg’s pseudo-academic sham Liberal Fascism and its underlying thesis, that fascism is “properly understood” as “a phenomenon of the left.”

Crooks and Liars put together some essays from historians and political scientists in an effort to finally produce a serious response from academics to Goldberg’s and Becks’s traduced version of history.

Today, at History News Network, you can read the initial essays.

In addition to David Neiwert’s introduction, there are four essays:

– Robert O. Paxton, professor emeritus at Columbia University and the author of The Anatomy of Fascism, leads off the essays with “The Scholarly Flaws of Liberal Fascism.”

– Roger Griffin, professor of political science at Oxford Brookes and the author of The Nature of Fascism, has a piece titled “An Academic Book – Not!”

– Matthew Feldman, professor of history at University of Northampton, and a co-editor of several academic texts on fascism, offers his assessment on why refuting Goldberg still matters: “Poor Scholarship, Wrong Conclusions”.

– Chip Berlet, senior researcher at Political Research Associates and the co-author (with Matthew Lyons) of Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort, has penned a history of Goldberg’s arguments, “The Roots of Liberal Fascism: The Book.”

Normal people (non-Republicans) know that Fox News exists solely to confuse the willfully ignorant that progressive policies are tantamount to a Nazi invasion because these liberal policies usurp the Economic Royalists from their thrones. In this time of yet another Republican Recession teetering on the verge of Depression, the People are suffering under the weight of the very Republican policies that CREATED THEIR ECONOMIC TROUBLES. It is the MISSION of Glenn Beck, Fox News and the like to dupe their historically ignorant viewers into believing that the very policies that will SAVE them from the boot of Fascism are in themselves Fascist!

The five Republican-appointed right-wing activist judges on the Supreme Court have hammered the last nail in the coffin of government by “We The People” by officially granting the right of personhood to corporations, thus giving the green light to Mussolini style fascism in the United States.

What is Mussolini-Style fascism, you ask? Well… Early twentieth century Italians invented the word fascism and Benito Mussolini said,” Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

In Italy, at least they were genuine enough to just outright admit that their government was sponsored by and functioned for the sake of Corporations. Parliament was dissolved and replaced with the “estato corporativo”: the corporatist state.

In the United States we will be left to listen to fairy tales of “one person, one vote” where will be allowed to go out and pantomime a real election, but the corporate candidate will already be a forgone conclusion. All the while we will no doubt be systematically assured by the consolidated right wing media protection racket that “all is well.” “Go shopping.” “Freedom isn’t free so go fight manufactured bully number three thousand and fifty three!” and “those damn liberals are to blame!”

Click the above photo for the text of Truman's entire speach

Interviewed by George Stephanopoulos about his first year in office and the loss of Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat to the reactionary, teabagging, homophobic, sexist former nude model Scott Brown, President Obama said, “the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office,” seaming to not understand the obvious – that “thing” was the REJECTION of FAILED REPUBLICAN POLICIES and THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S FAILURE TO ACT EMPOWERED WITH A MANDATE FOR CHANGE!!!  Running on “change” and delivering Bush and Clinton’s third term is not going to get ANYONE “FIRED UP AND READY TO GO.”

Watch Keith Olberman skewer Brown for the racist, homophobic, reactionary, sexist, former nude model that he is:

Tonight, on Rachel Maddow Show, Senator Debbie Stabenow displayed a STUNNING amount of naïveté by openly fantasizing that the Republicans are going to “work with the Democrats” now that they have 41 votes!!!!! I ALMOST HAD A CORONARY while shouting to the Heavens, “WHERE ARE YOU FDR????!!!?!?”

This is why I HATE the Democrats of today!   I hate their lack of a spine to work for the benefit of the American People WITHOUT APOLOGY.  The Republicans have made no secret that they want President Obama to fail!  They openly despise him and rail against his every move – they are NOT going to back off when they smell blood in the water because REPUBLICANS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! The Republicans are actively engaged in a class war against the American People.   They are true, dead-ender ideologues who cling to policies that engraciate ONLY the wealthy.  Republicans WANT our jobs in China simply because it is PROFITABLE!   They want the American Worker to live in economic anxiety and fear because that makes them accept the scraps.  They want a large pool of cheap labor to exploit – I mean, we abolished slavery (officially, at least) so how is anyone supposed to make a profit if they actually have to pay a living wage???   If there are no jobs in America- SO WHAT??   The serfs could always the military – NEVER MIND that the very notion of the American People being so desperate that they will hire themselves out to be shot at is the very situation our Founding Fathers worked so hard to prevent.  (Thomas Jefferson wrote, “our men are so happy at home that they will not hire themselves to be shot at for a shilling a day. Hence we can have no standing armies for defense, because we have no paupers to furnish the materials.”)

There was a time when Democrats walked tall with their spines securely in place – the time of FDR and Truman – these PROUD DEMOCRATS pulled us out of the Republican Great Depression and secured the Democrats a majority in Congress for 50 years. We KNOW that Democratic Policies work because when implemented, the created the largest middle class in the history of the world! Republican policies FAIL – and beginning with Reagan, destroyed the American middle class and are continuing to turn “The Land of the Free” into “The United States of Serfs and Lords.”  THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT!

Republican Scott Brown, who campaigned on a “small government” platform and used his Massachusetts Senate post in 2007 to vote for an amendment banning same-sex marriage, won the Massachusetts Senate seat Ted Kennedy held for nearly half a century.  Ted Kennedy is rolling in his grave and President Obama is left admittedly “frustrated.”

The spin from MSNBC and the alleged “liberal media” is that this is a message to Democrats to “back off from the liberal agenda” but this is more of a slap in the face to the fact that Democrats CAN’T DELIVER THE LIBERAL AGENDA.

Frankly, Democrats don’t come out and vote for candidates who TALK like liberals but WALK like Republicans.  When Democrats act like Democrats people come out and vote for them – when they act like “Republican Light” why bother?

Amazing Hubris and Stunning Hypocrisy speaks volumes about their utter bankruptcy as a lot.

Poor Republicans.  If they weren’t actively engaged in the destruction of the middle class, the environment and anything related to making the United States “a more perfect union,” they would actually be quite pitiful rather than the snakes that they are.

But a snake will always be a snake and we can’t expect anything more from Republicans than lies because they have never done anything in modern times that benefits 99% of the people in America.  Having nothing to boast about in reality, they have again erected a billboard that disingenuously states that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.  MLK was no Republican.

It’s really pathetic that Republicans always have to lie about their *ehem* “accomplishments” and sad that the party which opposed EVERY SINGLE THING that MLK stood for is again trying to co-opt his legacy.

The very fact that Republicans had this billboard erected is not just disrespectful the King’s legacy (not that they care) but assumes (rightly so, in the case of Republicans) that the Billboard’s intended viewer will, for the most part, have no concept of history.

In this day and age, even the filthy Republicans, the party that provides sanctuary to overt racists, homophobes and bigots of every persuasion, now trip over themselves to give lip service to the dreams of Martin Luther King while simultaneously opposing every single piece of legislation which may evolve our country in the realm of social justice and equality.   Republicans will only associate themselves with the causes of minorities in order to gain a perceived political benefit – and the association is in name only as they will never act contrary to the fearful bigots that infest their base.

This billboard that claims that MLK was a Republican is offensive on so many levels – one being that it politicizes the civil rights leader who made great efforts to remain non-partisan.  He wanted to be seen as more of a prophet, than a politician – aligning himself with “causes” not political parties.

With NOTHING to Offer, Republican must distract & divide in order to survive!

Republicans, being the willful idiots that they are, having no grasp of complex thought or history (and their destruction thereof), have again attempted to create a false left/right paradigm – this time between Harry Reid’s statement about Barack Obama’s race and our political system and Trent Lott’s public lament that the ways of the good ol’ segregated South didn’t catch on to the rest of America.

Being that the true Republican agenda is to actually advance the interests of their true constituents – owners of rich multi-national corporations  – over the interests of average Americas, the Republicans seize any opportunity to distract and divide no matter how ridiculously disingenuous the opportunity may be.

Reality has SUCH a liberal bias… So Republicans lie!

It’s hard to believe that a man who has made the most political hay out of the worst terrorist attack on this nation would forget his special day, but Rudy “Ask Me About September 11th” Giuliani did just that while reminiscing about the Hell that were the Bush years.  It seems as if Giuliani has received his orders and eagerly joined fellow Republicans Dana Perino and Mary Matalin in pretending to forget that the September 11th attacks happened while George W. Bush squatted in the White House. Check it out at here:

Republicans Make Osama Bin Laden’s Dreams Come True.

Thom Hartmann schools Dinesh D’Souza about the fact that if we had followed Jimmy Carter’s proposed energy policy to get us off of foreign oil in 1977 we would not be in the mess we’re in now almost 33 years later.   D’Souza actually admits that we would not be in the Middle East were it not for our dependence on that oil.

Fast forward to today…  it is clear that Republicans have absolutely no vision for this country, and would rather slowly kill the dreams of our Founders, the American Middle Class AND the environment if it means making a quick buck for the Economic Royalists they truly represent.  ALL of this plays right into the hands of the man they swear they want “Dead or Alive” but who they get much more mileage out of while “at large” and free to scare the the “freedom” off of inherent cowardly Republicans.
