Race War, by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #139

I watched several U.S. Congressmen and one Congress Crazy Bitch named Bachmann all from The G.O.P. yesterday on T.V.
They were at a rally standing in front of a giant poster depicting one of the mass graves at the Dachau concentration camp. The point of the poster was to compare Obama’s health care with the Holocaust.
W.T.F?
Just so I’m clear,
W H A T T H E F U C K ?
There were other signs, which were clearly racist being waved in the air at this’rally’ and standing their as proud as can be were representatives of The United States Government.
Republican representatives of The United States Government.
Is it just me or did the G.O.P. at that rally not look like a white mob who were looking for some nigger or Jew to lynch?
This is no joke, and I’m not kidding.
Do they want a race war? It’s clear when you stand in front of posters of Obama as a monkey and images of dead Jews piled on top of each other you are saying as loud as you can be ‘ Blacks and Jews are not part of OUR America.’
Add ‘Gay’ and you have the G.O.P. slogan for 2012.

More and more each day, they become the party of idiocy. Using the holocaust for anything BUT a shining example of why the world needs to protect itself from villainy… is just in poor taste. Not surprised by this mind you, just deeply saddened. Sure, when GW was in office, the democrats called him “dumb” and “the worst president in American history…” … but they didn’t stand outside in protest with posters of dead bodies. Maybe the families who lost theirs sons and daughters in that lie of a war could have stood there with posters proclaiming “Oil Won’t Bring Them Back!” but I don’t think they did that either.
It’s just despicable when THIS is how some *not all* of the party chooses to portray itself. National Healthcare won’t lead to a holocaust, in any account.
Now, I’m gonna go to Indianapolis and get married before the GOP makes it illegal for Jews to marry.

In case anyone wondered whether it was easier to hate than to make peace.

All I can say is that Canada is looking better and better. And I HATE cold weather.
America… Land of the ig’nant…Home of the dumb.

When I had the temerity the other day to suggest at a message board that much of the anti-Obama hatred was being caused by racism, I was vilified, and essentially told I was a fool or a bully.
If it ever comes down to a physical race war, this fat, old, white man will be shooting alongside the oppressed. I’ve had more than enough of this bigotry and hatred. I’ve been seeing it and hearing it for over 40 years, and I just can’t take it any more.

Now Michael, the Republicans told us it wasn’t a rally. It was a “press conference”. I’m thinking much along the same lines as Reg and I like the cold weather.

Alan- I got the same treatment on line for suggesting that in the context of America’s cultural history portraying a black man in white face was inherently racist.

I’m not amazed that there are people who would compare the HOLOCAUST with an attempt to get people decent health care.
Those people are the poster children of stupid, inbreeding, assholes and good old boys, that remember with fondness when my grandmother had to ride in the back of the bus.
How is it POSSIBLE that in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA elected officials stand in support of this horrible display of H A T E ?
What must the rest of the world think of us? It’s sickening to think that we finally garner good will in the world after 8 years of Hell and the world sees that some elected officials have an out right hatred of the Black President who is the light of hope for so many.
Fuck the right. They can try and pry my freedom from my cold dead hands.

I think it’d be hilarious if, whenever GOPholes said the phrase “socialist health plan,” they would shit their pants. In a week, there would be nothing left of them.

Tony – To paraphrase Billy Ray Valentine…” I can think of three good reasons why we might not want that..”
1) The insurance companies would cry “Foul” and ask for a bailout.
2) The pharmaceutical companies would jack up the prices for Kaopectate and Pepto-Bismal so that only the rich could afford them.
and 3) Just the flux coming out of Rush alone would kill off all the nation’s freshwater fish population.
But on the plus side, we’d become heroes to the rest of the world due to the entirety of their fly populations crossing the oceans to revel in the pool of excess.

Marc: “I’m gonna go to Indianapolis and get married before the GOP makes it illegal for Jews to marry.” Indeed. I’ve said this before, but what the hell. You’re the one in Indianapolis right now.
My grandfather lived in Indianapolis. Back in 1928, he took two of his children, one of whom would later become my father, downtown. It just so happens that there was a Ku Klux Klan rally going on at the time. Indianapolis was home to the Klan back then. My grandfather refused to take his hat off when the colors passed by (that’s the Klan flag, not a mistype). He was asked to take his hat off. He declined.
That night, a cross was burned on his front lawn. The fire quickly spread to the wooden house in which my family lived (nope; no electricity or indoor plumbing). The house caught fire.
My grandfather decided perhaps he should take a more objective view of the welfare of his wife and three children, and they-all moved back to Chicago. Eight years later, my father married and I was born a mere 14 years after that.
Enjoy Indianapolis, and have a swell wedding. I’ll keep Chicago warm for you, and hope to see you here in Connecticut after my return.
