5. What else can be said? The mask slips further and further off this crazy assed place every day

Lots of folks around here, many of whom just absolutely ADORE the opportunity to pat themselves on the back every chance they get with how "wordly," "liberal" and "tolerant" they are, are every bit as stupid, ignorant, privileged and intolerant as their Tea Bagging cousins.

The ONLY good thing out of all of this is that alot of folks around here are starting to see that soooo many of the "liberaler than thou" crowd have plastered those "liberal bona fides" all over themselves to cover up some very NON-progressive NON-liberal practices and thoughts. When the owner of the biggest fan base here talks OPENLY about being a "former" Republican, makes fried chicken/watermelon jokes, and says that out of every election from the last 100 years the one he'd like to see overturned is the 2008 showdown between Obama and McCain, then this place doesn't have a "liberal" leg to stand on and needs to stop pretending that it does.
