From the August 7 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:

Who is willing to tell blatant and obvious lies, so long as it advances the agenda their corporate masters have set for them?
Who is willing to disrupt democracy, in terms of Americans speaking locally with their elected officials about topics of immediate and urgent concern, by any means necessary, including busing people from place to place and giving them scripts and tips on how to shout down opposition?
Who has spent the last six months comparing every single thing the President and Congress has done to Hitler, Marx, Lennin, Stalin, Chavez, etc. etc. etc.?
I'll give you a hint: It ain't liberals!
Sound advice, but years too late for Moron Joe.
A putz can describe an idiot (check one for Moron Joe).
Or it can reference a certain part of the male anatomy. Now if you go with that one then I'd have to say that he's still a putz, but most likely a very small putz.
I get a lot of arguments regarding the "we didn't start the fire by ourselves" mantra. Joe ending his thoughts with "you can't just blame it on the right" seems to strike a nerve.
We can't just blame it on the right, true, but no one is pointing the finger at themselves and saying "My bad". It's time that we get responsibility from both sides and admitting when things have gone bad.
So let me get this straight? Video games turn can kids into killers, Hollywood can turn women into anorexic floozies, and MTV's Jackass can make people jump off roofs, but 15 hours a day of the same regurgitated, repetitive anti-Obama, anti-Democrat rhetoric have no effect whatsoever?
Clinton was a "philandering liberal with shady deals", Bush was "a brain dead civil rights crushing authoritarian", but that was all just rhetoric.
There is something telling when the "angry mob" is crying that they "want their country back" There is a reason that most of the venom is coming from the South.
Below are the Civil Rights Act votes... realize that most of the southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) that voted against this changed parties (gee I wonder why)
Being born just after the Civil Rights Act, I grew up hoping that this country would have moved on... but based on the geriatric Town Hall meetings, I think we're a couple generations away from that.
Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
The original House version:
* Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
* Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
* Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
* Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)
The Senate version:
* Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
* Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
* Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)
* Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)
