The Great Unhinged Stay Classy...

People's lives are in danger...millions are without power and could face days, weeks and months of hardship and the wingnuts are out to whip up even more hate. Saw this posted on FB:

In an effort to expedite his policy on wealth distribution, in the wake of Sandy, Obama has ordered power to Manhattan to be cut so that looting can begin..


I'm expecting hate radio to try to make this tragedy into Obama's Katrina.

No limits to their ugly and hate...

They don't get to speak to us. They don't get to spread their message of hate. They may as well be howling at the moon. The moon wouldn't care and neither should we. This is what these people do. No surprise. It's not news For your own peace of mind, put them on ignore.

There's little patience in my world for ignorance. I knew I'd see a post like this and sure enough no sooner than the power goes off, the looting "jokes" begin. This shows how low things have gotten in this country. I have lots of peace of mind knowing I don't live in the ugly, lonely and angry world that character lives in.

Cheers...

People never cease to disappoint me.

ETA: Before anyone asks, this person has a considerably higher post count than I do.

Next week we'll see at least 42% of the electorate or more vote to "fire the colored fella". The racism in this election is the worst I've seen since the Lester Maddox days of the 60s.

SOB's in American today. I'd hope that we were past that but no we're not.
The pukes feel they have to destroy President Obama for fear of another other than
white male might make it to the white house. They want to bury him is as much controversy as they possibly can.
They can't be having a man of color showing that the old white mans club, that could care less for us regular folks btw, has no longer a hold on the Presidency like they've had for over 200 years.

Before anyone gets in a twist I'm an old mostly white man

Shit is getting serious now

They just ain't right in the head, KharmaTrain. They are investing their energies into sickness.

We need to keep investing ours' into the positive force.

It truly has manifested itself into a sickness that supercedes any sense of decency. I don't waste my time arguing with these types and hope it does energize others to work harder to beat back the hatred. Nonetheless, ignore these people at your own peril.

Cheers!

They must not be ignored ..... because they are unhinged and too often, being used by those who benefit from keeping things destabilized and dangerous.

These are strange times.
