Thanks to Sarah Palin, We Get to See the Cruelness of the GOP as It Really Is
By Larry Beinhart, AlterNet. Posted November 3, 2008.
Palin has helped reveal to the public pit-bull snarl that rouses GOP supporters to cry out, "Traitor!" against Obama, and "Kill him!"
It was Jesus Christ, if Matthew is to be believed, who said, "Love thine enemy." It is in that spirit that I write this belated valentine to Sarah Palin.
Sarah, I love you for having revealed unto the media the snarling heart of the beast that is the base (and the soul) of the Republican Party. Yes, you have the lipstick and the heels, not to mention the calves and bosoms, that send Republican men into swoons, but you have more; the pit-bull snarl that rouses your supporters to cry out, "Traitor!" against Obama, and "Kill him!"
George Bush kept those folks in their kennels, ran as a "compassionate conservative," and always masked his most heinous plans in double speak. Bush the Elder, Ronald Reagan, and even Richard Nixon never explicitly ran on hate and fear of "the other." They used words that were coded enough that it was possible to pretend that they were true.
But now the beast is loose.
The Black & Christian Media helps Republicans promote Racial Proliferation

Riddle me this: When you listen to people like Joel Osteen and John Hagee and Pat Robertson talk about "God speaking" to people through flooding them, bombing them, shedding the blood of innocent people...do you use headlines like "Pat Robertson calls John McCain The Messiah"? No.
If we all took these kinds of things and distorted and twisted them out of context like you do, there were plenty of times when these Republican Thugs said "God is speaking through John McCain and Sarah Palin" when McCain and Palin are two of the worst killers and bona fide racists this nation has seen since Ronald Reagan. You have some nerve promoting this BS when Farrakhan said no such thing. He said what we all say about ministers of the gospel, singers, and speakerswho inspire others to do something to change their own lives: That "God is using them in a mighty way." He COULD be right about that, but Obama never went around telling anyone to preach that he is The Second Coming; religious overzealous fanatics do crazy stuff like that and Obama, thank God, isn't one of them. I see, however, that Late in the Game Palin, has started circulating that McSame old lie again--when it's already been proven false.
Farrakhan did NOT call Obama The Messiah, and you are just as racist against black people as "some" white people are for even spreading that lie. People have said God is speaking through me and using me in a mighty way to touch the lives of others...does that make ME The Messiah, too?
This is the same thing some black people who were jealous of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said when they called him "Jesus" for trying to help lift up black folk and poor folk in America. It was their own attitudes, and not Dr. King's actions, that took them to the pits of hell in their own darkened and demonic minds. You aren't talking about Obama, you're telling on yourselves. That kind of evil is inside of YOU and it twists things around so that the only one you can hear talking is you.
You people are pitiful for lapping up this regurgitated dog vomit, and you are the same types of people, along with Joseph C Phillips-the Black Klansman, that helped to sell off your own brothers and sisters in Africa to Europe in exchange for sugar cane and beads. Your "faith" in God is duly noted. If you advocate war-mongering rich elitist thieves and proselytes who care about nothing and no one but themselves just because they go around "quoting the Bible," you are just as insane as those "negroes" who voted for Reagan after he stumped a speech about "returning to basics" in the same spot where the three Freedom Riders were killed in Philadelphia MS in the 1960s.
You are drinking the McCain KoolAid and will be subsequently poisoned by those same Jim Jones tactics coming from McCain and Palin when all is finally said and done. In the meantime, here's what Sarah Palin and John McCain really think of YOU PEOPLE: "Sit down, boy." http://www.alternet.org/election08/102345/.
And MOST white folks who don't tend to like racists very much aren't so blind that even THEY can't see that for what it is.
Don't be so ignorant and ghetto and "superstitious" about the use of the word "christianity." Jesus Christ, a Jewish man, would not have condoned these Republican's so-called "christian" behavior.
If Jesus is the kind of Savior you people seem to think He is, no wonder people are turning away from your God by the second. I could not worship any god myself who produces such hatred and racist bigotry through others preaching his words; and I, too, am an ordained minister of the gospel.
