Tea party victory endangers GOP’s goal of retaking the Senate

[LMNO]

Yeah, but the same can be said about the original punk fans started tearing up their clothes and adding saftey pins to emulate bands like the Voidoids, who actually were too poor to get new clothes and had to hold their shirts together with saftey pins.

...Which is essentially no different than Justin Timberlake keeping a bus-load of Black vocalists, whose job it is to sing about how real Justin Timberlake is, before he comes on stage to perform.

...Or how airheads like Taylor Swift, who affects an incredibly bad Georgia accent while singing what some people might call country music, when she is in fact from Pennsylvania.

...Or how Zach De La Rocha "raged against the machine" through Epic Records, which is of course part of the machine.

...Or how ads for various products will use the word "country" three or more times, so that you will associate them with a "clean and wholesome" rural life that does not and has never existed.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

Palin — who earlier this morning held a closed-door fundraiser for Rand Paul, the Tea Party champion running for the U.S. Senate — is railing against a GOP establishment that has just seen Tea Partiers oust entrenched Republican hacks in Delaware and New York. The  DINGBAT REVOLUTION, it seems, is nigh.

Emphasis mine.

Not on at least one of their albums.

It's not like the Tea Partiers hate black people. It's just that they're shockingly willing to believe the appalling horseshit fantasy about how white people in the age of Obama are some kind of oppressed minority. That may not be racism, but it is incredibly, earth-shatteringly stupid. I hear this theme over and over — as I do on a recent trip to northern Kentucky, where I decide to stick on a Rand Paul button and sit in on a Tea Party event at a local amusement park. Before long, a group of about a half-dozen Tea Partiers begin speculating about how Obamacare will force emergency-room doctors to consult "death panels" that will evaluate your worth as a human being before deciding to treat you.

Apart from the emergency room bit, isn't that exactly what the insurance companies do right now, with the measure of worth being your "pre-existing conditions" versus "the size of your wallet"?

Pretty much.

Why the dems never re-framed it that way is completely beyond me.

On this theme, IOZ has outright stated Glenn Beck is an unconscious Marxist based on his "political thriller" The Overton Window:

The Overton Window, for all its manifold failures as a book, for all its infelicities and inconsistencies, for its schizoid sensibilities, actually--I swear to the baby Jesus--makes a simplistic but acceptable Marxist critique of the American state. I am not kidding. You have to look beyond the superficial stage dressings of American nationalism and generic anti-tax activism. In fact, the book convincingly identifies the political establishment as a subsidiary set of a more diverse ownership class who, through manipulation of public sentiment and political processes, have created a system of wealth expropriation for their own benefit. Haha, they're capitalists! It is a sign of the success of their real-life counterparts that Beck sings the praises of capitalism and calls them elites. But seriously, change the terminology and keep the lousy writing: this coulda been a freshman paper at Oberlin.

Telling hard rightwingers how much they have in common with Marxists is always amusing.

...self-government, anarcho-capitalism; it's all good. Anything has got to be better than this crazy 'democratic', socialist, central bank controlled hell-hole of a continent that we live on.
Personally, I don't even care about planning out a new country or economy. I just want to be left alone; I want to go to work and earn a dollar, and come home with that dollar without criminals and gangsters with guns and badges taking even one penny from me. If anyone wants to even take one penny from me that they have no right to, then they are a criminal, pure and simple.
