The price of democracy these days: get tear gassed and pepper sprayed by the police, because not enough people came out to support you. If 10,000 had been there, the Nazis would have been stopped. Instead, they mostly laughed and cheered in defiance as the police protected them while they waved the swastika.
“Improved” lyrics for first verse courtesy of Stephen Colbert:
“I saw you drivin’ ’round town with the girl I love on Fox News/ Didn’t see one politician that wasn’t corrupt on Fox News And I got the blues/ The poor get poorer, the rich get richer. Ain’t that some sh**? (Ain’t that some sh**?) / I’m havin’ pains in my chest because I’m so stressed from Fox News.”
It was inevitable this would happen. The Oklahoma courts themselves need to stop this bullshit pattern of repeated referenda which are completely unconstitutional and only done in order to motivate people to come down to the polls and vote their bigotry, thus voting for Republicans along the way.
And Michelle Bachmann, who won the most expensive US House seat in history, is hypnotized. And McMahon, the subject of the post below, lost big time. Slammed to the mat. And the Democrat wins in Colorado.
This has to be the most hilarious political mistake I’ve seen since John McCain made his “economy is doing great” speech in September 2008 as the stock market collapsed live.
This is “democracy” to the teabagger fans of Rand Paul. It will be fun to see the clips of the national media, especially FNC, minimizing this incident. All sorts of new euphemisms will have to be invented to avoid the correct, objective journalistic phrases that should be used, such as “political beating,” “outburst of political violence,” “intimidation,” “mob attack,” and so on. All sorts of contortions will be used to turn it into an “ambiguous” and “controversial” incident where “we don’t know what exactly happened.” In fact there is a basic question, since Fox recently took the unprecedented step of suing to stop usage of their own footage in a Democrats’ ad: will they release this footage from a Fox affiliate in a timely fashion to CNN and MSNBC, or will they refuse to?
AND WE HAVE A WINNER. UPDATE 2: RAND PAUL HIMSELF has just dismissed the attack as “jockeying around.” So none other than the candidate himself beats “Fox News Channel” to the punch with an Orwellian euphemism for a criminal political beating.
UPDATE 3: Photographic proof in the form of a campaign ad listing his name as an official, that one of the assailants, Proffitt (the stomper) worked for Rand Paul as he attacked the victim.
An order was given to coalition troops in June 2004 to stop investigating any torture by Iraqi military or government agents. The Abu Ghraib scandal began coating US headlines in May 2004. You do the math.
