The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
Hey guys, I'm NOT a serial killer. Seriously. Don't think I'm a serial killer. Why would you think I'm a serial killer? I'm no serial killer.
I think it's very important for fringe weirdos and underachievers to convince themselves they're "normal". Nobody really thinks they're nuts.
Hardcore alcoholics tell themselves everybody has a little cocktail with breakfast, D students convince themselves that only losers get A's, and teabaggers need to constantly be told they're "ordinary Americans" and "Real Americans". They just want their government back from the majority of "fake" Americans who reclaimed it in a legitimate election.
Or what was left of it after the Real Americans spent several years trying to destroy it.
And...they want their country back from the black man in the White House. Racism drives these teabaggers. How many minorities do you see in the photograph above?
The government is listening to the people who elected them. Got that? ELECTIONS MATTER. It's one big sour grapes whine fest for these teabaggers who can't believe they're in the minority AND that a minority is running the country.
At least the stuff that Bush/Cheney are on the hook for are things they've actually done.
FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!
Bush was given the benefit of a doubt. For at least a couple years, maybe longer. Obama has been in office for 7 MONTHS. These teabaggin' terrorists have been spewing their racist vile since Obama became the nominee.
Here's one link to a story I found. I'm really not finding much criticism of Bush until a few weeks after 9-11 when he decided to institute military tribunals to prosecute terrorists. He faced objections from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
Can you please cite one or two stories to support your claim?

The same problems with math that makes them think that a million or so fringe nuts need to "take back the country" from the rest of America can explain that a million or so people who put racist signs in their yard, or would vote only for white people, are an insignificant number.
True, but teabaggin' racism is a wholly owned subsidiary of the nutjobs on the right behind the thin veil of outrage over Obama's "spending".
I wonder why noticing the well-documented presence of racists on the right gets these people who are absolutely not racist at all (as they keep telling everybody) so upset and defensive.
...and there you have it.
That's almost 3 hours ago that Cat asked a simple question. Funny how we haven't seen a quick answer yet...
This is, IMO, the absolute most outrageous political deception in many, many years. It has more far-reaching consequences than most of the major political scandals - including Watergate. And it's happening right in the open, every day on TV, and nobody says a peep about it.
The MSM is weak and useless and would not dare risk having one of O'Reilly's producers follow them around for an ambush interview.
And the powers-that-be @ GE and the press do not want to go there either.
As I don't get cable I can't speak on who Obermann allows to come on. Somehow I doubt your correct here though. The use of the word, never, is a bit of a warning sign.
So hiring her over how many qualified people is not sucking up to the neocons then um?
Does Becky know you are plagiarizing his rants?
and these are supposed to be people that are criticizing republicans and democrats equally, right? thats what one of the teabaggers said. no person that watches sean hannity would criticize republicans, seeing as how hannity has never bashed a conservative in his life.
Our country back?? Yeah! Our country back from the people who were democratically elected to run it...
-HSII
Just how do you intend on taking back the country? Rally's (even if thousands show up, some driving 8 hours) that still doesn't override the millions more that voted for Obama. What are these people trying to accomplish? The minority party's will over the majority? That doesn't sound like a democracy to me - that sounds a lot like tyranny to me.
In this country we have elections and those that lose don't get to make the decisions, don't get to keep power, and they don't get their way. Someone needs to explain this to them. If we didn't storm the White House when Bush was selected, they have no room to complain about the current administration.
You will all just have to live in a country that will try to help all Americans have a better life, you included; instead of an administration that works against your best interest. Sorry Tea Party Baggers, you will just have to suffer with a better America like the rest of us!
They have pandered so much to this crowd that it is now their fan base.
I like the woman that drove eight hours to this one because it was closest. My math says she lives about 400 miles away. If this density of tea parties is an average, you could cover the entire U.S. with just 6 tea party events.
That group refuses to accept this reality and led by the Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck and all their bigoted confederates, they will never cease to use any means possible to remove the Obamas from the White House! One of Hannity's website forum MODERATORS wrote "The Obamas are forever POLLUTING the White House"!

A person would have to either be intentionally ignoring the signs, or perhaps of a mindset in agreement with the "Birthers" and now the "Deathers" etc etc etc not to see as you suggest a pattern or connected dots in the growing intensity of right wing conservative attacks and hatred of the Obamas. The intensity of that hatred cannot simply be attributed to disagreements with Obama's programs and policies.
The frightening thing for me is that there has been an incremental progression in Limbaugh's, Hannity's and Beck's and others attacks on President Obama. Initially they and their followers were attacking him on policies and now even GOP politicians are co-signing charges of non-citizenship, racism, Marxist ideologies and seemingly whatever it takes to fan the flames of hate, towards the removal of Obama. They seem intent on not being able to tolerate his being in the White House for even ONE term of office!
Their rallying cries have gone from "Obama's policies and agenda must be stopped and he must fail" to simply "Obama must be stopped"! This should disturb and frighten every sensible American, as President Obama is being portrayed as the "evil black boogeyman intent on destroying our nation"! It most definitely appears that Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and their associates actually WANT to see race and culture wars in our nation as they fan the flames of hatred, intolerance, racisim and fear through their non-stop and ever increasing propaganda!

Hannity's radio talk show callers are now consistently parroting a common sentiment.. "We want our country back Sean"!
What they most obviously mean is that just as was expected of children in past eras, they want minorities or non-whites to go back to the "children (and minorities) should be seen but not heard" rules. AND... also just as certainly "there should NEVER be a Black man in the White House or a Latina on the Supreme Court... for gosh sakes"!
Well that's NOT going to be the case EVER AGAIN and many are in a complete panic filled frenzy!
These are dangerous and volatile times and for Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and many GOP legislators to be adding fuel to the potential fires is bordering on treasonous and seditious behavior!
