When Rush, Coulter, Savage and the rest of the rightwing radio chorus get back to screeching about how Obama is destroying America and "needs to be dealt with," there is no shortage of lizard-brained halfwits who will take those words (and the transmissions emanating from their fillings) as definitive instructions to start the revolution.Derelictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-65071103075552957712012-11-10T13:04:43.279-05:002012-11-10T13:04:43.279-05:00I don't think I have ever seen the word "...I don't think I have ever seen the word "statist" used to make a valid point about something occurring on Earth, rather than in a right-winger's feverish imagination.

They spent the past 4.5 years dog whistling and doing everything short of screaming "ni**er, ni**er, ni**er!!!," then embarked on very transparent attempts to make it more difficult for the "wrong" people to vote. I'm sure that not every additional person who turned out to vote shares my obstinacy, but I'm willing to bet a fair number of them do - that is, if voting wasn't something that I had prioritized in the past, at the very moment someone tried to <i>stop</i> me from doing it, it would become a crusade and I would walk over hot coals and crawl over broken glass just to stick it to them for trying to take it away from me.<br /><br /><br />This further complicates the conundrum - yes, the mud people are not welcome under their roof and yet they need them, but further, the dog whistling they've relied upon these past 40 years is needed to turn out the people who <i>are</i> welcome under their roof - yet every time they practice it from here on out, it's going to come with a penalty attached. It will attract not only the party faithful as it has reliably these past 4 decades - now it will also attract those against whom it is used, who will vote against whoever is whistling.<br /><br /><br />It's no longer a zero or low-cost tactic, but as I noted previously, this notion of "you inferior people should vote for us" is so entwined in Republican DNA that it will take at least a decade and probably several for them to wake up to the fact that they're going to have to find some new tricks.JennOfArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-58414367571984457002012-11-10T03:33:00.906-05:002012-11-10T03:33:00.906-05:00To be fair, the surface rhetoric of self-reliance,...To be fair, the surface rhetoric of self-reliance, free markets, patriotism and family values from the Republican party is alluring for an new expat from a totalitarian populist regime, but they don't realize what they're getting into because they don't have the same cultural context for the Southern Strategy dogwhistles and winking references as the rest of the country. It's a very dispiriting blow, to realize that the party of liberty you thought you were signing up for is actually one of hate and greed.Hunky Jimpjorpshttp://twitter.com/HymieTugjobzzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-81814162012143252802012-11-10T00:41:20.705-05:002012-11-10T00:41:20.705-05:00For these

So too was the vilification of people sucking from<br />the public teat and asking for handouts. There were no Muslim welfare queens,<br />and Muslims joined the Republican stampede against them.<br /><br />So when the Republicans were vilifying <i>other </i> weak and downtrodden minorities that was OK...but when <i>he</i> was a member of group that it was convenient to use as a target of white resentment he was shocked. Yet as soon as the Republicans start saying "Muslims are all right - it's still the (ahem) inner-city dwellers we hate", he'll be lining up to vote for his tax-cut (and fuck the rest of the country). <br /><br /><br /><br />He is not being principled, he is whining because he caught the pointy-end of a system he was happy to be behind as long as someone else was copping it.
