Breaking News: Republicans, While Using Gulf Oil Disaster for Political Gain, Accuse White House of Using Gulf Oil Disaster for Political Gain!
Another in a Series of Psychological Projections
Dr. Ruth weighs in: "Typical behavior for bullies who have teeny, tiny genitals. You know, the kind that gets laughed at in a high school locker room... Look! There goes a pair now"
True to form, the Republican Party (aka "The Knights Who Say No") has flexed their one remaining set of muscles (jaw) and launched another salvo characterizing the Obama Administration as "shaking down BP." While the world holds its sides watching the perennial GOPutzes flop and mince around the stage in their chuckleheaded outrage, the American public (held in the desperate despotic party's thrall through classic fear and reward tactics) has responded to the situation by playing with their iPhones and consuming untold amounts of fried food.
Due (of course) mainly to the president's noticeably darker skin tone, the Republicans have been at sixes and sevens trying to cope with the seismic shift in their fantasy paradigm, while unable to grasp that, while the Commander In Chief's amount of melanin might be higher than previous presidents', the way things are done in American politics pretty much have not changed. Backs still have to be scratched, favors granted, deals made. As Paddy Chayefsky said in Network: "The world is a business, Mr. Beale..." (FYI: Network was a movie made in 1975. There are no aliens in it. Just television executives and corporate CEO's).
However, since Obama's inauguration in January of '08, the party's deeply xenophobic roots have been poking through the tightly woven material of their serge suits and no amount of obfuscation has sufficiently disguised it. Wavering from loud allegations about the legitimacy of his birth, to giving him harumphing silent treatments, to breaking protocol and heckling him during a state of the union address, the Grand Old Party has pooped relentlessly its pants in public.
With the mid-term elections approaching (and having nothing to run on except their redoubtable distaste for the dusky Democratic director), the Republican party is gearing up for another colossal display of desperate madness.

The campaign plan...uses the phrase black arts when talking about how we’ll win in the fall. It’s not a document filled with dirty tricks but a plan to create a nonprofit organization called Ensuring Liberty Corporation. It uses unconventional methods to get our message out...A good piece of mail gets its message across in 10 seconds. Television gives you 30 seconds, maybe. We’re playing to the reptilian brain rather than the logic centers, so we look for key words and images to leverage the intense rage and anxiety of white working-class conservatives. In other words, I talk to the same part of your brain that causes road rage...

Yeah sure, no dirty tricks there, more like a psy-ops program designed to brainwash white working-class conservatives. This confirms what I’ve been saying: the rightwing knows how to stimulate the brains of its followers to trigger the release of norepinephrine (a stress hormone) when exposed to falsely associated frames within carefully constructed narrative structures. This is the method to Glenn Beck’s madness:

This creates unconscious and automatic negative reactions in conservative brains toward people like Obama, thus explaining why they are impervious to facts and the truth. They unilaterally surrender their capacity for reason without ever being aware of what’s been done to them.

Fortunately, that means that most Democrats running for office in 2010 will have a much easier time of it. Unfortunately, it also means that we will be treated to similar spectacles across the country as the implosions continue - thus clogging the legitimate (non-FAUX) news feeds with more idiocy. Eh, win some, lose some!!
Its creepy.
Damn good writer, too...
With apologies (naturally) to...Brenda Lee
I'm sorry, so sorry, The White House made you pay your dues
I didn't know the Dems could be so cruel
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh
Oh, yes
Dems demand, BP agrees
Gulf Coast victims need immediate funds
But that don't right
The wrong that's been done
Spoken:
(I'm sorry) I'm sorry, BP
(So sorry) So sorry Tony
Please accept my apology
But I was blind, Until Boener explained it to me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh
Oh, yes
It's acceptable, even if reprehensible
For Repubs to support reckless corporate actions
But not out loud, That makes us look like bums
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Uh, oh
Oh, yes
I'm sorry, so sorry
Please accept my apology
I showed the true Republican idealogy
(Sorry)
