Weeelp, looks like it's that time again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ctO7fdrcc This video's been posted by at least 4 of my more conservative friends so far, with the good old "Nothin' like some good ol' family racism from the radical left" and "violent rhetoric and racism seem to be exclusively from the left" style comments. Remember, never try to actually acknowledge and work against racism - instead just keep telling yourself that the Other Team is the real villains!

Naw I'm sure they're legit, no matter what group you look at theres always going to be individuals who say ignorant poo poo, and you cannot on their own take it as an official stance. The fact is just that the GOP has far far more of them around, with the people in charge making that their official stance. These are likely outliers where they got hundreds of people interviewed and picked the best evidence to make their case. RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Feb 5, 2011 |

So, a friend posted a video on Youtube of a collection of liberal liars, and there were a few congratulatory posts. And then my friend's dad posted. I'd never really talked to him before, just done a few jam sessions incidentally. He posted a very long, sourced explanation of why Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, et. all are full of poo poo, evil monsters. The original poster said something like "I only listen to Michael Savage soo." My friend's dad posted a very impressive breakdown of why Michael Savage is a loving hateful moron. The original poster was shocked and said he'd be more careful about his news sources in the future. Great, happy ending! Just now, a coworker came out of the woodwork with the biggest batch of crazy I've ever seen. coworker posted:I listen to Michael Savage everyday. I think the man is brilliant. His looks may not appeal to some people but he has a good heart and he tells it like it is. I have read all his books. He has never said anything about peace loving Muslims only terrorists. He does take on the so called elite in Washington and he does not really care for Fox News or the rest of them. I watch Fox News and CNN and MSNBC and ABC and CBS. So what they are all left leaning. Obama and George Soros and his organizations are going to bring down America and if think that is impossible well them then watch and see. Bill Ayers and his wife and Code Pink were all in Egypt before it exploded, That was not just a coincidence. That was all planned. Bring down one country at a time. You get the Muslim Brotherhood in there and then the Suez Canal is cut off gas prices explode over here people can't go anywhere. Think of the possibilities of the government. I hope everyone who voted for Obama wakes up one morning crying the loudest because you will.

Angry Avocado posted:XyloJW, I'm interested in the things your friends dad wrote, would you mind posting them here? He said a whole lot of awesome things, but this was my favorite part: (Keep in mind, AFTER my friend's dad said this, the coworker launched her insane rant) quote:I'M SORRY IF IT'S SOME OTHER MICHAEL SAVAGE YOU LISTEN TO but is this the same Michael Savage whose real name is Micheal Weiner (figures)? The big homophobe who actually carried a picture of him swimming naked with Allen Ginsberg (do you know who Allen Ginsburg is?), who said "If Obama and Democrats, who believe in dictatorship, were the Founding Fathers... there wouldn't be free speech in America," who had six major companies yank ads from his talk-radio show after he branded autistic children "brats." It's so weird. He's a really old Southern rock guitar player, and I've borrowed equipment from him a few times, through my friend, but I'd never really talked to him. I'm going to shake his hand next time I see him.

quote:On February 6th, 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan was born. He was an accomplished actor, starring in over 50 films. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild back when Hollywood was filled with patriotic stars who loved America as much as America loved them. (Boy, that's sure changed, hasn't it?) He was a two-term governor of California back when that state was still worth living in. (That's changed, too.)

Kubrick posted:President Reagan was a leader, a uniter, and a role model for a nation, if not the world. He was never bitter or petty, and he was always proud of this great country and it's citizens. Ronald Reagan never had an unkind word for anyone, and he never forgot his place as America's highest public servant. Privately, O'Neill and Reagan were always on cordial terms, or as Reagan himself put it in his memoirs, they were friends "after 6PM." O'Neill in that same memoir when questioned by Reagan regarding a personal attack against the President that made the paper, explained that "before 6PM it's all politics."[9] Reagan once compared O'Neill to the then-popular arcade game Pac-Man in a speech, saying that he was "a round thing that gobbles up money". He also once joked he had received a valentine card from O'Neill: "I knew it was from Tip, because the heart was bleeding." Reagan on AIDS and homosexuality "maybe the Lord brought down this plague" because "illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments." “people who are sleeping on the grates…the homeless…are homeless, you might say, by choice.”

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/424/kid-politics I'm sure this somehow applies, we'll say its how people start down the crazy political email path. The second part of this episode show has a bunch of kids at the Reagan Library going through all the decisions leading up to Granada on their own. They all get attaboys when their decisions match up with Reagan's and the protect these blessed United States from communism. You get to hear a gradeschooler playing a cabinet member yell "The blood of nineteen soldiers is on your hands" at another gradeschooler.

A speech to Egypt....My rear end Obama! Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story." AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE: Dear Mr. Obama: Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians. Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians. Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence ? Bill of Rights? Didn't think so. Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No. Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama? Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present. There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights. Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they? Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews. Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's a**** you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day. And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America .. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim. And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .. That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America . EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !! Muslim Heritage, my rear end.

These xenophobic pieces of poo poo really get to me so let's break it down.crime fighting hog posted:Were those This is retarded. "Native American Indians" aren't White Anglo Saxon Protestants either. quote:Were those Exactly, so to all you non-pre-Columbian Americans and non-direct descendants of the pilgrims, gently caress OFF. But just to hit up the Pre-USA north america heart strings, there is debate about whether Ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians (dirty brown folks to you crazy right-wingers) had trade relations with the Americas thousands of years before Europeans made it this way. And by the way, there were Muslim explorers in the United States as early as 100 years before the Pilgrims ever landed at Plymouth Rock. quote:Can you How about an Asian one? Or a spaniard, or italian, or slav? gently caress them too. And yet Islam was very much part of the debate during the crafting of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those who supported the constitution specifically mentioned Islam in debates about whether the United States should be secular and tolerant or based on protestant values. (The real constitutionalists, unlike the tea party nutjobs were demanding the former, btw) quote:
Yes. Peter Salem, a muslim, was a hero in the Battle of Bunker Hill. When colonial troops were near defeat, British Major John Pitcairn ordered them to surrender. Salem then stepped forward and shot Pitcairn. Pitcairn later died of the wound. Peter Salem got awarded for fighting in the Revolutionary War, and he also fought at Lexington. Peter Salem was honored for his bravery. He later became a US Privateer. Yusuf Ben Ali fought with General Sumter in South Carolina. Etc. etc. quote:Did Yes. They did. Also, you may not remember, but many of those slaves that were freed? Muslim. Oops. quote:In fact, Muslims to this day are  quote:Where were Not that I should really have to explain any further, but after Dr. King, the most famous civil rights leader of the era was Malcolm X, also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. quote:There are Yes. There are probably thousands of pictures. Now you're just making poo poo up. quote:Where were 22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. (Ephesians, 5:22-24, KJV) quote:So much so, Without bothering to document Muslim efforts for women's suffrage, I'll just note that these are all stereotypes, not typical of Muslims, and in fact have more to do with socioeconomic problems than with religion. But you don't understand that so we'll skip it for now. quote:Where were Fighting and dying alongside everyone else. If you don't believe me, go ask the Muslim Veterans' Association. quote:They were Muslims aren't organized as a state and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem no more represented all Muslims than the Pope represents all Christians. quote:Finally, Dying in the towers like everyone else: quote:Muslim Victims of 9/11 And many of those who weren't dying were busy condemning the attacks. quote:Strangely, I call bullshit. quote:Muslim Brotherhood, an opposition Islamist group in Egypt, said it was "horrified" by the attack and expressed "condolences and sadness": quote:And THAT, Mr. quote:And now we can In the United States: 29 towns and cities have the name Lebanon 19 towns and cities have the name Cairo 17 towns and cities have the name Egypt 13 towns and cities have the name Jordan 12 towns and cities have the name Medina 12 towns and cities have the name Palestine 12 towns and cities have the name Damascus 8 towns and cities have the name Mecca 7 towns and cities have the name Mina 6 towns and cities have the name Alhambra 6 towns and cities have the name Bagdad 6 cities and towns have name Arabia 4 towns have the name Andalusia 4 towns and cities have the name Jerusalem 4 towns and cities have the name Alger 3 towns and cities have the name Lebanon Historical 2 towns and cities have the name Alida 2 towns and cities have the name Algiers 2 towns and cities have the name Arabi 2 towns and cities have the name Aquilla 2 towns and cities have the name Turkey 2 towns and cities have the name Mahomet 2 towns and cities have the name Lebanon Heights 2 towns and cities have the name Sultan 2 towns and cities have the name Soudan 2 towns and cities have the name Sudan 2 towns and cities have the name Syria 2 towns and cities have the name Turkey 1 town has the name Africa 1 town has the name Africa Historical 1 town has the name Ali Ak Chin 1 town has the name Ali Chukson 1 town has the name Allah 1 town has the name Arab 1 town has name Arabian Acres 1 town has the name Babylon 1 town has the name Dafur 1 town has the name Dahomy 1 town has the name Elkader 1 town has the name Ishmael 1 town has the name Islamorada 1 town has the name Islamberg 1 town has the name Mahtomedi 1 town has the name Media 1 town has the name Mesopotamia 1 town has the name Morocco 1 town has the name New Medina 1 town has the name New Palestine 1 town has the name New Lebanon 1 town has the name Lebanon Junction 1 town has the name Lebanon Lake Estates 1 town has the name Lebanon Center 1 town has the name Lebanon Independent 1 town has the name Lebanon Springs So in conclusion, suck it.
