The War On Turban People. 

[Juana]

Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the crazy wingnut group Oath Keepers (whose members are sometimes decidedly less amusing) is a constitutional lawyer educated at Yale, who also writes for a magazine called SWAT.

... Then, in early 2008, SWAT received a letter from a retired colonel declaring that "the Constitution and our Bill of Rights are gravely endangered" and that service members, veterans, and police "is where they will be saved, if they are to be saved at all!"

Rhodes responded with a breathless column starring a despotic president, "Hitlery" Clinton, in her "Chairman Mao signature pantsuit." Would readers, he asked, obey orders from this "dominatrix-in-chief" to hold militia members as enemy combatants, disarm citizens, and shoot all resisters? If "a police state comes to America, it will ultimately be by your hands," he warned. You had better "resolve to not let it happen on your watch." ...

I still want to beat the shit out of every single one of the oathkeepers.  Where the hell were there people from 2001-2007?

So Carolina Totally Looses its Mind

We noted last night that a top supporter of South Carolina Gov. candidate Andre Bauer called frontrunner Nikki Haley (who is the child of Sikh immigrants from the Punjab) a "raghead". But now the audio has surfaced. And the whole thing turns out to have been much more over the top and nutty than first reported.

Not only did state Sen. Jake Knotts refer to Haley as a "f#!king raghead" he also went on a tear about her being a crypto-Sikh pretending to be Christian and part of some wild conspiracy theory about Haley being a stalking horse for turban-wearing foreigners trying to undermine South Carolina's God-fearing culture.

According to the Free Times, Knotts claimed Haley's father is sending letters to India saying that his daughter is the first Sikh in the United States running for high office and that "we're at war over there."

From the Free Times ...

   Knotts said that South Carolina is a religious community.

   "We need a good Christian to be our governor," he said. "She's hiding her religion. She ought to be proud of it. I'm proud of my god."

   Knotts says he believes Haley's father has been sending letters to India saying that Haley is the first Sikh running for high office in America. He says her father walks around Lexington wearing a turban.

   "We're at war over there," Knotts said.

   Asked to clarify, he said he did not mean the United States was at war with India, but was at war with "foreign countries."

 

Ah...the exposed underbelly that is Southern American racism.  LOVE. IT.  Knotts is a classic case, and he's not a special case, either.

THIS is actually the kind of shit that Rush Limbaugh perpetuates.

Yep. This is the state I live in.

Beautiful state. But then the people showed up.

Ladies and gentlemen, irony!

AFA President Tim Wildmon says, "It's shameful that adults would abuse a brain-washed child in this way. He's obviously just parroting the nonsense he's been told by manipulative adults. For gay activists to trot out this child and make him the poster child for promoting unnatural sexual expression is a form of child abuse."

Ultra-right wing candidate from the South puts words into Abraham Lincoln's mouth:

Barber says, "Hey Abe, if someone is forced to work for months to pay taxes so that a total stranger can get a free meal, medical procedure or a bailout, what's that called? What's it called when one man is forced to work for another?" The actor pretending to be Lincoln replies, "Slavery."

At that point, viewers are bombarded with images of slaves and concentration camps, including those from Nazi Germany.

"We shed a lot of blood to stop that in the past, didn't we?" Barber adds. "Now look at us. We are all becoming slaves to our government."

Abe was the closest thing to a socialist of his day.

I'd like to know what he means by "we". He's running in Alabama. You know, one of the states that shed blood to keep slavery around.

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/06/gohmert-theres-a-diabolical-30-year-plot-to-have-terrorist-babies-born-in-us-video.php

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went to the House floor Thursday night, to warn of a diabolical terrorist plot -- with a 20-30 year timeline.

The plot involves arranging for a child to be born in the United States -- then training them in an isolated environment abroad, ready to dispatch them back here to commit violence after a quick two or three decades.

"I talked to a retired FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system. And it appeared they would have young women, who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby," said Gohmert. "They wouldn't even have to pay anything for the baby. And then they would turn back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day, twenty, thirty years down the road, they can be sent in to help destroy our way of life. 'Cause they figured out how stupid we are being in this country to allow our enemies to game our system, hurt our economy, get set up in a position to destroy our way of life."

SOMEONE MUST STOP THESE TERRORIST BABBIES!!!

Ironically, that's what guys like Lysander Spooner (who was against Slavery AND against the Civil War) would have replied, not Lincoln.
