The fascist assclown who thinks it's perfectly all right to stomp on a woman's head? The one who claimed he had to step on her head because he has a bad back? Well, now he also thinks she owes HIM an apology.
I'm kind of not kidding about emigrating.

WASHINGTON—Conceding almost certain Republican gains in next month's crucial midterm elections, Democratic lawmakers vowed Tuesday not to give up without making one final push to ensure their party runs away from every major legislative victory of the past two years.Party leaders told reporters that regardless of the ultimate outcome, they would do everything in their power from now until the polls closed to distance themselves from their hard-won passage of a historic health care overhaul, the toughest financial regulations since the 1930s, and a stimulus package most economists now credit with preventing a second Great Depression.
I laughed and laughed whilst reading this. Then the depression drifted in.
Being a fag doesn't give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then don't tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die.
Huh. This is the kind of person Arkansans elect to run their schools? And he hasn't been tossed off the board yet? How…interesting.
There's a facebook page calling for his firing as well as an online petition. If you want to get more personal (but polite!), it's easy to find the contact information for the school district. They already have a disclaimer on their web page, but I don't think that's a sufficient response to such flaming bigotry.
Finally we got this car up on level ground. And, yes, it's a little beat up. It needs to go to the body shop. It's got some dents; it needs a tune-up. But it's pointing in the right direction. And now we've got the Republicans tapping us on the shoulder, saying, we want the keys back.
You can't have the keys back. You don't know how to drive. You can ride with us if you want, but you got to sit in the backseat. We're going to put middle-class America in the front seat. We're looking out for them.
If you thought that the car analogy meant that the citizenry should be wary of letting Republicans retake control of the economy – yes, the economy they effectively smashed into the ground – then you obviously have not been watching Fox.
Beck:
So is this the back of the bus kind of analogy? Is that where — is that where the enemies go now, in the back? Because I'm just wondering.
[...]
Why can't I sit in the front seat? Why can't I sit in the front seat, Mr. President? Why am I sitting in the back seat? Why are you saying you have to punish your enemies? Are we looking to settle old scores, here? Is that what's happening, Mr. President? Because I'm just wondering. It sounds like there is a time to settle old scores, which sounds to me like you're inciting people.
Hannity:
"talk about sit in the back of the bus…I wonder if I, as a talk show host and a conservative commentator made such a reference."
Dana Perino in response to Hannity:
"[You] would be fired."
Fox analyst Peter Johnson:
"…a peculiar and strange and haunting and really backward reference that we're seeing by the president and what we're really seeing is a reference to the notion of being in the back of the bus, and that's a matter of sad American history, embarrassing American history."
Stuart Varney:
"when I looked at that, being foreign born, I know the association that that was bringing to the public mind … It's unpresidential."
They're a creative bunch of asses if nothing else. Actually, I think the President is being much too kind in asking Republicans to sit in the back seat of the car. The trunk would be a more fitting place for the bums.
David Neiwert makes the argument that the midterm election is less a referendum on Barack Obama than it is one on Fox News. The money quote:
But it's obvious that we don't really have a Republican Party anymore. It's now a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox News. And that's who this election is really about.
I'm not sure I'd go that far but it is not hard to imagine how worse a shape the Republican Party would be in were it not for the ceaseless effort bullshit on the part of Fox. If not for Fox, where would Sarah Palin get to bleat her nonsense each day? Where would conservative candidates who refuse to speak to their local media get to voice their thoughts unchallenged? Where would the Tea Party be if not for Fox who has been cheerleading the astroturf movement from day one?
Really. Who would champion the causes of bigotry, homophobia, Islamophobia and overall hate if not for Fox and its cabal of delusional hatemongers? And most important, where would the unwashed masses of fools turn to for their daily fill of head-spinning lies and misinformation if not for the yeoman's work done by Fox News?
Maybe it's not the Fox election but Neiwert is dead on the money with this line.
The entire narrative of this coming election has been dictated by Fox. Is it any wonder that the conventional wisdom now perfectly reflects what Fox has been dictating?
Nope. It's no wonder at all.
Republicans hold six-point lead among likely voters in generic House ballot, 46-40.
Democrats are viewed more positively than Republicans. Forty-six percent view Democrats favorably, while 48 percent view them unfavorably. Forty-one percent view Republicans favorably, and 52 percent view them unfavorably."
Forty-seven percent of likely voters want the health care law to be repealed. Forty-three percent want it to stand as it is.
...These assholes want to turn this country into Iran. I know most of the Dems suck, but they're far better than this clown show.
I think that's exactly right. The Ken Bucks and Christine O'Donnells and Sharron Angles of the Republican Party, the "Taliban wing" of the GOP that more and more is taking over the party, are profoundly dangerous and deeply anti-American, and it's not enough just to laugh at them for being stupid. They pose a threat to American democracy, and to America itself, and to the very idea of "America," that, in a way, far exceeds, is far more nefarious than, and is far more likely to succeed than the threat posed by Islamic jihadism.

Not one major network talking head with a reputation as a journalist has conducted an interview with Barack Obama that is as substantive as this one:
