Heckuva job, Arizona

Arizona's draconian new immigration law has already led to a case of racial profiling of an American-born citizen. A Mexican-American born in Fresno was detained until his wife went all the way to Arizona to take him his birth certificate. I was born in the San Joaquin Valley and I'm latino, just like this guy. So I can be thrown in jail and detained in Arizona if I don't have my birth certificate. Does that sound like America to you? That sounds like a motherfucking police state, like North Korea or China to me.

This law is un-American and unconstitutional, but how much you wanna bet the Teabaggers don't protest it? Noooo, they'd rather protest against non-existent things like "death panels" and "FEMA concentration camps". When their corporate overlords like Dick Armey or media masters like Rush, Beck and Palin don't tell them what to do, these dunces are totally lost and unable to form their own opinions. They have never protested Wall Street for crashing the economy either!

I'd trade in the Teabaggers for the illegal immigrants anyday!

wow! is dis bitch serious?

“calling all tea party people across the United States ‘tea baggers,’ which is a denigrating word with negative connotations... It’s as bad as calling a black person the N-word.”

so says Debbie Gunnoe, a tea party organizer from Navarre, Fla.

srsly!

I don't even know where to begin, for one, you aren't born a Teabagger, like a black person is born black. Secondly it's nothing but a sly nickname for members of an absurd, disingenuous movement, kinda like labeling people "Birthers" and "Truthers". I say disingenuous, because why is it that these people are so concerned now with the national debt? Where was this movement during the Bush administration? While we are at it, who famously said "deficits don't matter"? Yup, former VP Dick Cheney. WHERE WERE THESE PEOPLE THEN? I'm sorry but it's way too convenient for them to start screaming about the debt soon after President Obama took office, considering he inherited the Great Recession from George W. Bush and needed the Stimulus to bring the economy back from the brink.

Also Ms. Gunnoe, Teabaggers themselves did use the "N-word" as well as called Barney Frank a "faggot" this past weekend, so how can you exactly claim the high ground here? You cannot. Lastly, I know the Teabaggers are god-fearing, seeing how the second of Glenn Beck's 9 Principles of his "9/12 Project", the commandments of the Teabagger set you could say, is "I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life", so when it comes to heath care I ask of them: What Would Jesus Do? From what I've heard he was a pretty generous fellow, one who wanted to care for the poor and downtrodden, so I doubt he'd treat very sick people like this:



So ok Debbie, I won't call you a Teabagger, how about I just refer to you guys as what you truly are: racists, homophobes, phony Christians, but most of all: H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S!!! There! That better?

ZOMG! The Death Panels are open for business!

Today the House passed a half-assed Health Care Reform bill, a supposed "government takeover" of the health care system that is err, neither a single-payer system or even one with a public-option, but whatever, don't let the facts cloud the issue! It's the end of the world as we know it! Take a look at some of the apocalyptic messages at one of my favorite right-wing nutjob websites, Hot Air, the demon spawn of the one-and-only Child-Stalkin' Michelle Malkin:

How long before we have to report to the internment camps?

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

Pcoop on March 21, 2010 at 10:52 PM

I feel sick. I would say Palin is now a shoo-in for 2012 but I don’t know if we’ll even have a country left by then.

The National Debt Meter just exploded.

The Doomsday clock just jumped past midnight.

Code Red.

DEFCON 2

portlandon on March 21, 2010 at 11:08 PM

The democrats have signed their own death warrant and the House has become the hearse of democracy. This is worse than the attack on America at Pearl Harbor whick was by our external enemies. This strike at the heart of America is by our own government. I never thought I would live to see this day, and I am disgusted and depressed.

Dhuka on March 21, 2010 at 11:09 PM

Can you believe these fucking idiots? They do nothing but sit in their trailer parks all day, gorging on ice cream bought at China's favorite retailer Wal-Mart, listening to limp-dick Rush Limbaugh and crybaby-shock-jock Glenn Beck blather on and on and nodding their empty heads at every lie they spew. Now they are seriously mourning the "Death of America" brought upon by Fuhrer Obama, no doubt stocking up on ammo and readying their Sunday-best for the upcoming Rapture. Un-fucking-real!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict the sun will still rise tomorrow, call me crazy, but I'll go on record with that....

Tim Tebow pulls a Glenn Beck!

the supposed "greatest college athlete of all-time" sobs like a big baby after his Florida team got their asses handed to them by Alabama. Jesus let you down Timmy, what's up w/ that! Guess he doesn't really love you after all!
or maybe he's crying because he bruised his vadge?

what kind of silly queen gets misty hearing a Paul Anka song?

oh, this kind....

Blog Wars erupt on the right

I check out quite a few blogs during the day, left and right wing-oriented, and I must say I am fascinated by what is happening with the right these days. Little Green Footballs, transformed by fledgling musician/cyclist Charles Johnson after 9/11 as a mostly anti-Islam blog, has taken a far more sensible path since Barack Obama was inaugurated, which of course doesn't sit well with the knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping, dead-enders that make up what's left of the Republican Party. I am by no means championing Johnson or his site here, I mean, let's face it, the man is batshit crazy, a Howard Hughes-save and drink his own urine-type if you will, but follow me after the jump to see the all-too-fun civil war he has sparked among the right-wing blogs......

In the past year or so, Charles Johnson has been focusing on the scourge of creationism and it's rising popularity among the right. Well, the bible is the end-all be-all for many conservatives, who pushed back and were purged in big numbers by the control-freak Johnson. Combine that with the rise of the birthers or "nirthers" and Ron Paulians, and Little Green Footballs was soon battling back against the craziest elements of the right. Well, these folks didn't go quietly, they have been pushing back hard on sites such as Michelle Malkin's Hot Air and Ace of Spades, where you can find attacks on Johnson in almost any thread these days. Well, Johnson is pushing back as well, by attacking these sites and their administrators, his former allies. So chummy under the George W. Bush Administration, these right-wingers have turned their fire on each other.....

Master vs. Apprentice

Oh, and apologies to LGF on behalf of our “wingnut blog”..... when a site that gave up blogging about Iran and the New York City terror plot to focus on the urgent threat from creationism tells you you’re falling down on the job, you listen.

I haven’t said anything about him before and hope not to again. I used to love his blog; it’s what inspired me to start blogging, so I get no joy from squabbling with him. But the sneering about “wingnut blogs” was too much. I eat plenty of crap for being an atheist and taking occasional swipes at creationism myself. I criticize Palin and Glenn Beck when a lot of other conservative bloggers don’t. Who is he to accuse me of being some talking-point machine?

so said Hot Air's resident blogger Allahpundit this week, firing back at Charles Johnson, who had the nerve to expose Hot Air's racist wingnut commenters in an ongoing series called "Hot Air Comments of the Day". An LGF reader alerted Johnson to the many racist comments directed at First Lady Michelle Obama as a "wookie" (amongst other names) last month, leading to Hot Air enacting a new comment policy which pissed the racists off even more because they lost an outlet to spread their hate. Well the attacks on Johnson continued at Hot Air and spilled over to Ace of Spades as well, so much so that those sites have devoted entire threads to letting people just bitch about and attack Johnson!

Grab the popcorn

I could go on and on deconstructing the tit-for-tat that has broken out between these sites, but I'm sure you get the gist by now. Will the GOP be the party of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck or will it return to it's more centrist days as the party of George H.W. Bush and Colin Powell? The right-wing blogs are the front-lines of this battle, so sit back, watch them scorch the earth and let's see who survives.....
