My Ad Hominem Attack (or: Maybe They're Onto Something)

They are showing themselves, ladies and gentlemen. They are exposing the twitching, seething hate-mongers they always were.

And these sorry, media goons are only the business end of the Republican party, whose heart is as virulent and detestable as any beating within the chest of the terrorists they so loudly decry. Their behavior is disgraceful and perhaps even sociopathic, devoid of any sense of responsibility or awareness.

Every day, one or more of their representatives openly eschew wisdom, intelligence, history, culture, manners and sense. And never are these mad dogs reined in by the so-called party leadership, those tight-lipped, turbo-tanned oligarchs who have of late been consigned to the margins---finally---and yet still feel empowered to lob WMD's from their cushy congressional wank chambers (so that's where Saddam kept 'em!) into the town square, stalling---yet again---the massive clean-up effort which is at last under way.

As they strip themselves of all pretensions of civility and strike out at anything or anyone which smacks of progress why not strip away all our civility as well when confronting these villainous relics from the dark ages?

They are brats with golf clubs, lobbyists and guns.

They are self-loathing stacks of repressed protoplasm.

They are desperate and determined to disrupt, deceive and destroy.

They are the dark, damnable id run amok, decaying, bloated and insane.

How much more does the world need to see before the Republican party is condemned for being a terrorist organization on a par with Al Qaeda?

How much more must we be subjected to those who would keep giving the kiss of life to racism, classism, ignorance, greed and an insatiable desire to consolidate power and wealth to the exclusion of all who don't fit their narrow-minded requirements of supposed patriotism?

(Pauses. Takes a sip of bile.)

Boy that felt good. No wonder they like to do that!
