These latest dust ups are indicative of the mind-set of a certain demographic of white males -- the non-progressive type -- and they have become completely unhinged.
Lets take a peak:
The bench of the top federal judge in Montana has turned into a hot seat after he emailed a racially charged joke implying President Obama was conceived in an act of bestiality.
U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, 67, said his brother sent him the email, which Cebull then forwarded to six "old buddies" through his judicial account on Feb. 20 from his chambers in Billings.
The joke, whose subject line was "A Mom's Memory," implied Obama was conceived in an act of bestiality between a dog and Obama's mother, who was white.
The message was eventually sent to the Great Falls Tribune, which published it Wednesday. Source
Why did he feel compelled to send it? In his own words:
Based in Billings, the 67-year-old judge says he forwarded the email to six "old buddies" after receiving it from his brother. It describes a boy asking his mother why he is black when she is white, and her response: "Don't ever go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you're lucky you don't bark."
The email was titled, "A Mom's Memory," and started with the words, "Normally I don't send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine." source

Not to be out slimed, the the dean of slime balls - Rush - had to add his zero cents to the conversation of women's contraceptives being a part of Obamacare (didn't this slime ball get busted with loads of viagra pills in an Airport):
Limbaugh has come under fire in recent days for comments he made Wednesday about Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law School student who had hoped to testify earlier this month in a House oversight committee hearing on the White House contraception rule.
Fluke, a women's health activist who says her friend lost an ovary due to lack of contraceptive care, was turned away from the hearing by Republican leadership, but told her story in a mock congressional hearing later in the month. In her testimony, Fluke largely discussed the high cost of contraception, the important medical benefits it can offer women.
Limbaugh on Wednesday called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" on his radio show. He doubled down on the comments Thursday, saying he thought it was "hilarious" that the "left has been thrown into an outright conniption fit" as a result of the remarks.
"The reaction that they are having to what I said yesterday about Susan Fluke -- or Sandra Fluke, whatever her name is -- the Georgetown student who went before a congressional committee and said she's having so much sex, she's going broke buying contraceptives and wants us to buy them," Limbaugh said on his show. "I said, 'Well, what would you call someone who wants us to pay for her to have sex? What would you call that woman? You'd call 'em a slut, a prostitute or whatever.'"
"So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch." source
And ya thought after Donald Chumps very public smack-down by Obama that the Birther BS was down for the count. Well, ya be wrong. Arizona's nut sheriff, Arpaio, conducted a bither witch-hunt and reveals:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, announced Thursday that his six-month investigation found that "probable cause exists indicating that forgery and fraud may have been committed" in the release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate. source
Having a black man in the White House has given these white men fits. They have become unglued, deranged and unbalanced right before our eyes. The level of over-the-top disrespect to our president is unprecedented and anti-American. Case in point: this current Republican clown show primary is nothing more than a tragic comedy in which each participant covets the chance to be the GOP'S anti-Obama.
It's not Obama's policies they oppose - time and time again they reject their own policies if Obama adopts them - no, it is the hue of his skin. These white men are deeply offended by the mere presence of the Obamas and can no longer conceal nor contain their rage.
Back to the so-called judge: Judge you are an extreme embarrassment to the court and our country. You have proven yourself to be unfit for the court and should be removed ASAP.
Couldn't say it better...
ReplyDeleteSo the balance and justice stuff is just that stuff!
ReplyDelete@Shady...thanks and it's such a shame in the year 2012 it has to be said. But having a black president is like turning on the lights and watching all the roaches/racist scatter about.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteFor months I tried to convince myself that the gop resistance and disrespect of the prez was because he was dem and black. This article has finally convinced me that it's because he's black, pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteAs a 64 year old white male I find much of this white males as victims or as a poor wrongly maligned lot embarrassing. Damn man up, grow a pair. Women are our equals as are racial and ethnic minorities. And, yes, our President is black and doing one hell of a good job.
ReplyDelete@Jim...you are indeed dead-on correct, these neo-confederate types need to evolve and face reality - we as a country are not going back to the 1950's
ReplyDelete@Anon...unfortunately these angry types have juice in a congress that would rather our country continues to hurt than join hands with Obama and fix things. Crazy and sad.
ReplyDeleteThis is on POINT.
ReplyDelete"It's not Obama's policies they oppose - time and time again they reject their own policies if Obama adopts them - no, it is the hue of his skin. These white men are deeply offended by the mere presence of the Obamas and can no longer conceal nor contain their rage."
If we think these Republicans are "unglued, deranged, or unbalanced now", wait till they they get a load of Obama's second term...stop these psuedo apologies and man up judge to what you are. Your cowardly actions are professionally out of line and reflect your hateful, tasteless character of attacking a MAN's dead mother.
ReplyDelete@ussgman...we hopelessly keep waiting -- tic toc, tic toc -- for the GOP grown-ups to police the loonies on the far right - guess what: they cower in fear to these Tea Party/Rush Limbaugh/FOX news bullies.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't think all conservative criticism of President Obama is race-based, a lot of it is and anyone who doesn't believe that is living in denial. There have been so many race-based attacks against President Obama, I'd have to quit my job to blog about them all! That judge needs to step down quick, fast and in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteBill O'Reilly once made a mistake and told the truth on his show:

I have no doubt that a lot of white conservatives feel the same way.
@Malcolm...far too many (not all) white conservatives live in a cult like bubble. They rely on the echo chamber media -- think fox/rush and co. -- for their daily food for thought. Ironically, Rush calls his followers ditto heads as in they, with out bothering to do their own research, agree with all his comments. Truly a sad and unhealthy affair for our country.
