Republican Ignorance- Worse Than We Thought


Can any story be more important and more depressing than this recent poll of Republicans commissioned by Daily Kos:














Only 32% of Republicans believe Obama shouldn't be impeached, even though he has never been accused of a single crime. A minority of Republicans believe Obama was born in the United States. 76% of Republicans believe than Acorn stole or might have stolen the last Presidential election.

And just keep reading. One madness after another. 86% of these ignorant, malicious fools claim to think that Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama. And on and on.

This is the fruit of three decades of the ugliest propaganda- a populace whose ignorance, greed and fury have exploded. That's the way Republicans want things, and it would seem that they have pretty much gotten their way.

I just want to say that this is why I spend so much time covering right wing websites. Conservative ideology and conservative lies and smears are creating a cataclysm in this country. I don't have a clue of how to stop it, but I do know that if we don't, we are all in for a really rough ride.

Derek,

Why don't you go over there and take a look at how the survey was conducted?

Of course you don't trust Daily Kos. You can't handle the truth.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
