Because THIS is WHO THEY ARE
Posted on March 9, 2012 by rikyrah

I don’t know how many times I have to say it, but I will:


THIS IS WHO THEY ARE.

From Angry Black Lady Chronicles:

Won’t Be Long Now, Folks!

And the odds that we’ll get to somebody dropping the ni-CLANG word on President Obama took a really big step forward today, along with bonus misogyny to boot. They say a picture’s worth a thousands words, and judging from the latest Mike Lester political cartoon from the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune, none of those words are fit to print in a gorram family blog like this one.



Yeah, let that sink in. You’ve got the African-American President is a 70?s pimp angle, the Sandra Fluke is a whore angle, the “evil light-skinned brother” angle, the white girl subservient to the black man angle, a complete misrepresentation of Ms. Fluke’s statements to boot and it’s all rolled up into one big insulting awful package of pure hatred for black people, women, and human beings with working souls. It’s actually impressive, in the same way ebola-tipped bullets fired into crowds of baby sloths is impressive: just overwhelmingly, unremittingly awful on multiple levels. Kudos to you, Mr. Lester. You’re a deeply nuanced and multi-layered asshole who has clearly mastered the art of the economy of visual vitriol. On a personal note, your awesome little piece of garbage here just won me the “Can we call them racist, misogynist bigots now?” argument in one very convincing little package.


It will not be long now until we descend past 2008?s nadir of Obama Waffles and 2010?s witch doctor with a bone through the nose and hit actual use of ni-CLANG. It’s only March, people. We’ll get there by Memorial Day at this rate.

Buckle up.

THIS is who they are.

PERIOD.

I am sure this nasty, little piece of shit will wind up on the editorial page of my right wing fish wrap. He's their favorite political cartoonist. This kind of garbage is typical of that waste of human flesh.

They are starting to get desperate and it's bound to come all blurting out.

Hopefully when it does, it will sink them for good.

I shouldn't be surprised, though. About a month ago, we were driving to Florida and just south of Macon we saw a huge billboard asking about "the birth certificate". Then, miles and miles of anti-choice billboards. Any time I venture out of the Atlanta metro area where we live, I feel like I've gone back in time 50 years or so.

At the ripe old age of 60, I don't think this state will change in my lifetime. That makes me very sad......

Obama would become nothing more than 'Strange Fruit'.

That is how much they hate him.
