We/They: The Dychotomy The Christian Right Will ALWAYS Cherish!

We/They
Originally uploaded by Antifluff Superstar

This is the dichotomy that Christofascists will always want. They are, after all, the ones who truly created "pagans" "heathens'' "lepers" "outcasts" "pariahs" "white trash" "niggers" and..."homosexuals" . Without them, we would be in better harmony with each other today.

So Just What Part Of America Is THE MOST Patriotic, John McCain?

Redneck City?

“Western Pennsylvania is
the most patriotic,
most God-loving,
most patriotic part of America.”

- John McCain

Barring the redundancy of the statement, where does that leave the rest of us? McCain didn't say "just as" or "one of the", he said MOST. Apparently patriotism and God-loving come in degrees.

What spurred this on: Democratic Rep. John Murtha said “there is no question that Western Pennsylvania is a racist area.” The Republicans are counting on that out-of-context sentence to make blue Pennsylvania see red and vote red(der) - more than it normally votes. So what other areas of the United States did McCain call the MOST patriotic and the MOST God-loving? Probably every place he's campaigned. But what's significant about this complement is that racially charged areas will take it that he MEANS it.

Again, he's sowing the seeds of dissent and discontent when he thinks he's only pandering. The whitest of white guys is telling rednecks that they are the ones who are the MOST important when it comes to patriotism and God-loving. Yes, they mighjt be in a minority, but McCain, in one stroke, made them THE MOST RIGHTEOUS of minorities in the country. He empowered people whom Jeff Foxworthy wouldn't even associate with.

The doors of the single-wides have been flung open and it's "lock and load" time for Western Pennsylania.

Someone is going to get hurt.

Just a thought.

A Sign From Jesus About Gay Marriage? An Endorsement?!!

From the Washington Independent:

Just want to point out that fivethirtyeight’s polling chart for California’s Proposition 8 (to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage) looks exactly like a Jesus fish.

Candidates to Look Out For: FRC's Voters Guide

Look Out For The Ones Who Oppose
Hate Crimes Legislation - They're Killers!

Tony Perkins has given us his list of imprimaturs: if these guys' policies are what he likes (or come reasonably close - hating enough of the right people, that is), then you can be sure that these guys will fill the halls of Congress with as much Christofascist-hatred-disguised-as-family-values bills as then Capitol and its dome will allow. To see the WHOLE thing click here.

Here are some highlights. 12 issues FRC wants you to think about when voting. The economy? No. The war in Iraq? No. Health care? No. See for yourself. The real meanings are in red.

1. Abortion. Does the candidate support or oppose taxpayer funding of abortions? Does the candidate support burning down Planned Parenthood clinics?

2. Partial-Birth Abortion. Does the candidate support or oppose the federal Partial-Birth Abortion ban? If the candidate supports the above, this question doesn't apply.

3. Stem Cell Research. Does the candidate support or oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research? Ever see a stem cell up close? It has a soul, I tell ya!

4. Human Cloning. Would the candidate support or oppose federal legislation prohibiting human cloning? The candidate should oppose it, unless, of course, James Dobson can be cloned.

5. Eminent Domain. Does the candidate support or oppose federal legislation limiting the ability of government to take private land for other private development purposes? Hey, we're the ones who want to cover the earth with one big mall! Not the government!

6. Estate Tax. Does the candidate support or oppose repeal of the federal estate tax? If the candidate opposes it he's dead meat.

7. Traditional Marriage. Does the candidate support or oppose a marriage protection amendment to the U.S. Constitution that defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman? All fags should get "married" at Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church!

8. Hate Crimes Legislation. Does the candidate support or oppose federal “hate crimes” legislation that would include “sexual orientation” among its protected classes? We can let our fag-hating preachers get yanked out of their pulpits!

9. ENDA. Does the candidate support or oppose the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act? Don't let fags in on anything!

10. Energy. Does the candidate support or oppose lifting the federal moratorium on drilling for oil in the Outer Continental Shelf? God bless Sarah Palin! Drill, Baby, Drill!

11. Immigration. Does the candidate support or oppose any form of amnesty for illegal aliens? The candidate should suppose a bill for the most enormous fence (topped by broken glass and barbed wire, of course) the world has ever seen!

12. 2nd Amendment Rights. Would the candidate support or oppose a federal ban on assault weapons? Every American has a right to assault a deer, and elk, a moose, or even a duck in a sportsman-like fashion!

For the senate races, the ones Tony Perkins hopes you'll vote for:

Alabama: Jeff Sessions, Republican
Alaska: TED STEVENS?!! - on trial Republican

Well, hope this slightly amended FRC voter guide has been helpful!

Draw Your Own Conclusions: THE Scariest Anti-Obama Video Yet! Watch!!

There Will Be Bloodshed!

It's grainy and wobbly, but the hatred comes through. The "Vote McCain, Not Barack Hussein!" people are not just angry, but look potentially violent. This is a Palin rally in Henderson, NV (near Las Vegas). Note that almost all the Obama supporters are African American.

Palin has saupposedly dropped her "pals around with terrorists" taunt, but no one told these people!

How To End a Political Career in 7 Minutes

Sorry, Michele, there are no "re-dos" in politics

Ridiculous: a politician goes on one of the nation's most visible cable TV shows and says she didn't know what she was getting into. The name, "Hardball" says it all. It gives the impression that Christofascists don't live in the real world. (Do they?). Palin didn't know what she was getting into with her Couric and Gibson interviews. The media combines fluff and hard questions. Shows like "Hardball" mean that you better be ready to talk fast, respond fast and, most importantly, don't look like a dummy.

Bachmann, Palin, and who knows who else. Where do we get these people from? Values Voters? Their values include very low I.Q.s (they do seem to be in fashion, don't they?).

The Desperate Noise From The Republican Party Is Deafening!

...And Defeating.
They're Stranded And Screaming From
An Icefloe That's Melting.
Very Quickly.

So, while they're busy hurling epithets and screaming against Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Republicans' territory is getting smaller and they're getting more desperate. Some Republicans are actually switching to Democrats to save their own political skins.

Of course, amidst all of this neocon mudslinging is the elephant in the room: George W. B**h, who just happens to be a Republican.

(CBS) By CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller

Not once this year has President Bush appeared in public at a campaign rally for the Republican Party or any of its candidates. And on Tuesday night, when he attends a million dollar fund-raiser for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, it will be the last political event he does before Election Day.

The Republicans have learned (the hard way) that too much mudslinging by political Christofascists can have the opposite affect. The comments made in the video below by Michele Bachmann about Obama being anti-American backfired beautifully:

(Washington Post)

Those comments, made to Chris Matthews on "Hardball" last Friday, alleging that Barack Obama held "anti-American" views immediately lit up the blogosphere, energized the campaign of former Blaine Mayor Elwyn Tinklenberg (great name!) and turned Bachmann's race from an afterthought into one of the most high profile House races in the country.

Tinklenberg has raised more than $800,000 in the aftermath of Bachmann's comments and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee communications director Jen Crider has called this a "$1 million mistake" on the part of the Republican incumbent.

Considering the other blunders that Bachmann has made in the past, I would strongly suggest that all of her consituents vote for Tinklenberg to save face. Watch the clip and see just how much like Palin Bachmann sounds. She sticks to one talking point like glue simply because she can't answer the other questions (notice how frustrated Chris Matthews looks).

Hurl! Sling! "Do you think they'll ever notice that we're (sssh!) Republicans?"

And Republicans, in defense, are using the same meme as Bachmann: "I never said that!"

Despite the way the blogs and the Democratic Party are spinning it, I never called all liberals anti-American, I never questioned Barack Obama’s patriotism, and I never asked for some House Un-American Activities Committee witch hunt into my colleagues in Congress.

Contrary to Bachmann's implications, viewers of Chris Matthews' Hardball can sense overt implication. She's counting on people reading between her lines and extending her phraseology. Look at the clip twice. Go here to view extended clips - the entire frustrating, self-righteous glare of Bachmann is horrifying. Those extended silences after Matthews' questions aren't due to reception. Bachmann's face freezes when she tries to think of an answer.

BTW: In her context, witch hunt=media expose.

Just a thought.
