Video: Glenn Beck, Fear and Loathing of African Americans

"President Obama is a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture. This guy is, I believe, a racist." Glenn Beck a year ago today on a Fox News panel who nod along.

Boy this is really awful stuff. Hard to watch without wincing or vomiting. But give it a try. This brief 5 minute speech is a window into the soul of not only one mentally challenged talk show host, but all talk show hosts, of Fox News, of the Tea Baggers, of Andrew Breitbart and the Republican Party which has embraced them all as their leadership.

The fear mongering goes beyond the pale. Pictures of two members of the New Black Panther party (the entire membership which could fit in school bus),  Van Jones and an ACORN logo degenerates into an enemies of God and America list including presidents Grant, Wilson, FDR, Truman, and the Sixties that "stole our grandparents children! And our children's inheritance!" Now there is some heavy duty Beckian NONE SENSE. It  ends with bread lines and the clincher. It was only 12 months ago that White people became the victims of Black people. All 5 of them... 

Our most powerful cable news network whose central mission is to generate as much hate and anger as they possible can at not only our bright articulate Black President, the NAACP, the entire Black community who are too lazy to find jobs, and most recently 10 million evil doer Hispanics picking our lettuce, cleaning our toilets and going to the hospital when their children aret run over by a truck. Republicans are now generating so much fear in America that we have thousands of American Hispanic CITIZENS taking flight from one region of our nation to another. All at the bequest of Fox News, our Founding Fathers and Jesus Christ. That Arizona just HAPPENS to be the only state that refused for 3 year to celebrate the national holiday MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, has nothing to do with race. Or that the legislature passed laws to make sure gay couples could not get state benefits which had nothing to do with homophobia, or having Americans most infamous dirtball fascist Sheriff Joe Arpaio does not make the state any more right-wing that California.   

Perhaps it was Molly Ivins, rest her soul, who said best.

"I cannot say Rush Limbaugh is a racist, but racists sure do like Rush Limbuagh."    

Applied these days to Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart, Fox News, the Tea Party and now the entire Republican Party.

Video: Rachel Maddow, Right wing fear mongers are right, Euro Socialism is terrifying.... and wonderful

I would never have thought that I'd write these words, but the far-sighted right wingers are onto something. Euro Socialism is a terrifying downhill ride! If we were to advance in that direction, we too would have to endure six or seven weeks of paid vacation - each and every year like those poor suckers in France and Germany, think of the boredom! It goes without saying that we want no part of their cradle to grave medical care. If that doesn't have your knees knocking, remember what O'Reilly and others warn, we'd go bankrupt under such a system. Oops, Germany and France hove into view on this point as well. I mean really, who knew they held so many international poker chips? Well, you can just bet that they have devised diabolical ways for companies to make so much money, no doubt with some wacky methods of paying and involving their employees. We wouldn't want that kind of well-paid motivation, it encourages greed..or enables bill paying, and a bit of fun. (shudder) You can sleep safely, secure in the knowledge that despite thousands of Teabagger signs, there's no chance the America we know will ever fall prey to such a decline. Don't take my word for it, watch Rachel's interview with Tom Geoghegan, author of "Were You Born on the Wrong Continent."

Video: Ed Show, GOP refusal to help 9 11 responders, prompts House floor fury from Anthony Weiner

Today, the obstructionist "Party of No" experienced the wrath of a Democrat who has reached his limit, and I for one, cheered him on as if the T.V. had two-way capabilities. Rep. Andrew Weiner's fuse was lit during debate over the Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act which would provide health care to those who have become gravely ill as a result of their efforts to rescue and clean up in the aftermath of 9 -11. In an explosive speech, New York's Anthony Weiner lambasted Republicans for placing partisanship game-playing over the content of the bill, and for their callous disregard for the people in need of their help.

Today's events were merely the culmination of a week filled with Republicans indiscriminately playing Whack-a-Bill with anything endorsed by the Democrats -or business as usual since January of 2009. In this week alone, the Party of No blocked efforts to boost small business with a lending fund and a state credit initiative. Moving on, they nixed the campaign spending disclosure bill, and continue to oppose the proposed energy bill. If this is a typical week, it's a wonder that it's taken this long for someone to hold a mirror to the partisan poopers.

The NOAA declares Global warming is undeniable

"Global warming is undeniable... Scientific evidence that our world is warming is unmistakable." July 28 NOAA annual State of the Climate report.

The report which came out a few days ago is rather hard to find even on Google. 48 countries participated in the study collecting data over thirty years from the top altitudes to the deepest oceans. The ten key climate indicators show notable warming and that:

Seven indicators are rising: air temperature over land, sea-surface temperature, air temperature over oceans, sea level, ocean heat, humidity and tropospheric temperature in the "active-weather" layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface. Three indicators are declining: Arctic sea ice, glaciers and spring snow cover in the Northern hemisphere. July 28 NOAA annual State of the Climate report

As if it matters to Republicans...

This is so much like the creation science debate. Both evolution and Global Warming have shiptloads of evidence on one side. Creationism (no matter what silly name it hides behind) and Global Warming denial have no evidence on their side. Well other than how the Breitbart it.

Truth and lies, reality and crap, smart and dumb, serious and silly must all be treated equality and fairly! And you know what sticklers Republicans are about equality and fairness! [The first is Communism and the second is Marxism]

It's how Republicans think. Since the less than white guy turned the White House black, any line between Right-wing, Conservative, the Base, the Tea Parties and Republicans has been irrevocably dissolved, so just plain old "Republican" now includes them all.

This kind of dishonest unreasonable crap is what drives the Republican WORLD VIEW. Blended as it is with generating all that anger at lazy Blacks, criminal Mexicans, socialist foreigners, Gay Nazis and evil Democrats who prey upon their white wealthy victims. You have to be white and wealthy to understand the pain.

Author Anne Rice quits Christianity

Anne Rice  As I said below, I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen. Facebook

This, so recently after her 2008 book "Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession." Of reinventing herself as a devoted Christian, is a real literary kaboom! Someone made the Vampire Lady angry!

Video: Smoking K2 incense, legal pot substitute, tool of the devil

The War on Drugs trudges onward, else you wouldn't be viewing a video about people who smoke incense. Though no one really knows what's in K2 or "Spice", the previously easy to acquire "drug" may or may not have been stronger than Pot. The important thing...the one true impetus for smoking it at all is very simple. It doesn't show in urine analysis tests! If there is one point to sink home, it's the comments by users gathered by the New York Times, that while they'd prefer the real thing, they're willing to take their chances with K-2, and avoid the Pee Police! Never forget what a growth industry urine collecting is in this country, or how many probation, re-hab, and court jobs and fees it contributes.

Sadly, re-thinking drug laws isn't on the agenda, but a wide-spread search and destroy mission is. In a Fox News interview, Senator Florence Shapiro R - TX gave the questionable drug the impetus needed for all-out war with claims of smokers who have been exorcised, for fear that they're possessed by the devil himself!

Video Ed Show, Hypocrite immigrant baby Michelle Malkin, defends anti immigration bill

How soon they forget! Perhaps more typically, "I've got mine, the rules don't apply to me and it sucks to be you" applies here. Michelle Malkin, the mouth of the malevolent right, appeared Wednesday night before the bright lights and rolling cameras on on the Fox News Hannity home shopping network..for those in the market for a no-think 'em, potentially dangerous world view. Malkin encourages the not-so-bright to 'rise up and do what Arizona did, taking matters into their own hands!" Could this be more irresponsible, not to mention ill-informed? It seems that we've been here with Sarah Palin and other right-wing rabble rousers, who when criticized on their call to arms, at least had the insincere good grace to pretend that violence wasn't their intention.

I've now learned that Malkin's vocal views on slamming the door to immigrants, including babies born here is highly ironic as well. There's no doubt of the racial group they're targeting, but Ms Malkin was the American born child of two Philippine parents who had arrived in the United States earlier that year on an employer-sponsored visa. I believe that places her under the umbrella of the controversial 14th amendment. Can you say hypocrite? I thought you could.

Ed's wacky talk involves the full court press of Fox News who would like nothing better than to pin the race card on President Obama. It's been 20 long, fruitless months for them, and the shop-worn incident they're peddling won't succeed. Fox knows that if it's quoted often enough, it's bound to be believed by someone with a stuck remote control.

Video: Chris Matthews. Lindsey Graham to ban citizenship for U.S. born babies

Here's a paradox. Would Lindsey Graham be living in the United States, or alive at all if someone before his grand-parent's time had taken his stand to overturn the 14th amendment? It's a pity the plan isn't retro-active, were it not for the fact that many of us, our parents, or grand-parents are here because of this amendment. What's wrong with the amendment now? I think we all know, and it's not pretty, especially as Graham describes the practice as "drop and leave." It appears that the only people who should have had a strict immigration policy were the Native Americans.

Also featured is a brief clip from the interview of the day,President Obama on The View. In speaking of Chelsea Clinton's upcoming nuptials, it's plain to see that only the very brave of heart, or extremely foolish will come calling on the Obama girls when they reach the appropriate age of - maybe forty?

Video: President Obama visits The View, why he is optimistic about Americans, though he doesn't know Snookie

The full interview isn't available yet, but segments are available on a wide range of topics from the serious to pop culture, as when the president admits he doesn't know who Snookie is, which I find to be a great relief. In this clip, President Obama discusses poll results, and why they should be viewed with a great deal of perspective. Obama prefers to place the focus on his administration's achievements and what he believes is right for America in the long view, rather than on short and expedient political remedies.
