Sweater Vest South?

Renee of Womanist Musings and I have for years in our conversations pondered whether the Republifools on our side of the border and Canada's Conservative Party have been trading strategies and tactics.

She's told me about the voter suppression tactics that are being used in predominately First Nations areas of Canada that overwhelmingly vote NDP and some other election shenanigans in recent north of the border elections that eerily smell like they came from the GOP playbook.

I also remember her talking about PM Stephen Harper, who she and other people on the Canadian left derisively call 'The Sweater Vest' for his penchant for wearing them during campaigns in order to make him and his conservative political stances seems more friendly.

Well, well, well.  Peep what Rick Santorum has started to wear more often on the campaign trail as he pimps his jacked up positions in this 2012 GOP nomination fight.

Naw Rick, it ain't gonna work.  

We peeps in the reality based America already know how far right wing and delusionary your positions are.  That wingnuttery might get you the GOP nomination, but 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is another story.  

Fox Noise's Lou Dobbs Attacks 'The Lorax'

What is it about Fox Noise and movies aimed at kids that sets these conservafools off?   First it was Eric Bolling tripping about the Muppets, now here comes Lou Dobbs griping about The Lorax movie and trotting out that tired 'Hollywood is indoctrinating children' line..



The Muppets said it best about the devoid of logic conservafools at Fox Noise.

There The Conservafools Go Again With The Girl Scout Smearing.

I have a lot of reasons to dislike conservafools, but one of the things that really aggravates me are the coordinated right wing attacks on the Girl Scouts that have led me to triple my usual order of cookies this year and I'm looking for more.  

The latest round of idiocy came from Indiana state rep Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne) who refused to sign a resolution letter honoring the 100th anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts thanking them "for the strong positive influence it has had on the American woman."   

In a letter to the Indiana Republifool legislative caucus published in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette Morris claims his opposition to the organization based on web-based research at  World Net Wingnut Daily, they are 'promoting homosexual lifestyles'.

Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists. World Net Daily, in a May 2009 article, states that Girl Scout Troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing traditional Christmas Carols.

Really?   What this is about is that you conservafools are still upset you never got control of the Girl Scouts and got the opportunity to turn them into the Conservafundie Youth like y'all did with the Boy Scouts and I thank God y'all didn't.

The fact the Girl Scouts support trans youth is a bonus as far as I'm concerned and I have much love and respect for the organization for standing up to the conservabullying and living up to the Girl Scout Promise and Girl Scout Law..  

The more you conservafools attempt to smear the organization, in an attempt to force them to live your facts free conservative lifestyle, the more support the Girl Scouts get.    

That reminds me, think it's time to order some more Girl Scout cookies.  I'm fresh out of Thin Mints.

Duh, Bill Maher-Conservafools Hate The POTUS

Duh, we African-Americans have been saying this for years    And no white liberals, some of y'all have been  just as bad as the conservafools in terms of disrespecting President Obama. 

But I didn't call him (Dubya) that to his face.  Nor would I if I had the chance.  And that is the difference.

Now, the deal we have always had with Presidents is that we smile and talk nice to them when they're in front of us.  And then we cut them down and say horrible nasty things behind their backs.  This has always worked for 8th grade girls, and it's always worked for the United States of America.

But there is something about this president that makes conservatives think it’s okay to go ape shit in his presence. They didn’t do this Carter, an actual pacifist, or Clinton who really did have a plan for universal health care, or LBJ, who actually made it easier for poor people to vote and eat. All of them clearly, evil America haters, but they got treated with a modicum of respect, at least to their faces.

Not Obama. What can it be that’s different about him?

It’s either his race, or it’s your brain chemistry, or it’s something that happened when you dad spanked you and liked it, and you were looking at a box of Cream of Wheat. I don’t know. I’m not a therapist. Maybe, it’s not race? I don’t know what’s in people’s hearts. Except Newt Gingrich, I know what’s in his heart, lust and cheese fries.

But this type of in the room, in your face, in your space respect disrespect is new. Admit that, and I will admit that of course, something like impeaching Clinton was far more serious, but it was also at least in some ways more respectful. It was done with high pomp through official channels. It was all about the rule of law, and the Chief Justice wore a special robe he got from a musical, or something, and somehow that is a lot more respectful than this.

Not that if Obama ever did anything like Clinton did, he would even be alive. Can you imagine what they would do if they ever found out Obama had sex with a White House intern on Easter? Talk about colored eggs. He would have been impeached two times, one for each testicle. This president has had to be the Caesar’s wife of Pennsylvania Avenue, the Jackie Robinson of American politics, never reacting to the taunts from the stands. But after you do this to try to get his goat, what’s next? A wedgie? A purple nurple?

Gov. Brewer said she did this because she felt threatened. Right, like Obama ran his finger down his blouse and said, ‘you my white princess.’

UnKKKle Pat Bounced From MSNBC

Here's some wonderful news to get your Friday off to a great start.  

After ten years of spewing his white supremacist bigotry and racism on the air, looks like Pat Buchanan will no longer be doing his shticKKK at MSNBC.  

He got dropped from the network yesterday after being indefinitely suspended for his latest waste of trees entitled Suicide of a Superpower. 

It included such scintillating chapters entitled "The End of White America" and "The Death of Christian America."   Of course UnKKKle Pat denied his critics charges that his book was racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic, but his azz has been wallowing in vanillacentric privilege and trafficking in all of the above since the Nixon administration..

It was a big win for ColorofChange.org, which launched a petition drive that collected over 86,000 signatures seeking to get MSNBC to oust his bigoted behind. 

Of course Pat aimed his ire over his dismissal at ColorofChange in a blog post, but the bottom line is that we will no longer be subjected to seeing Buchanan's bigotry on MSNBC.   He'll need to move on to a network more suitable for his racist rants, and I presume Fox News Noise will be extending him an offer any time now.

Let's Play TransGriot Jeopardy 2

It's been a while since we played TransGriot Jeopardy on the blog and I think it's time to see if you readers  have been paying attention to the news cycle lately.

The Final Jeopardy category is The GOP House and the final Jeopardy answer is:

What was the glaring flaw in the committee hearing on contraception that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) held today? 



Time's up.   The final Jeopardy answer is:

There were no women on the first panel.



The Republican War on Women continues.  

Keep on being incredibly stupid Republifools and believing your own Fox Noise propaganda.   At the rate you're going the POTUS may end up with an LBJ like landslide this November.
