Whatever happened to “dog whistle” politics, where the racism was subtle? Limbaugh no longer even dances around it. No more innuendo, no more nods and winks, now it’s just right in your face old school bigotry. Quite frankly it’s lazy Rush. There was a time when you took the time to couch your remarks so they didn’t seem so Aryan Brotherhood.
Hey, we’ve all been there, right? Great color commentary from the guy working the camera.
Feeling safe also includes safe from our police. The ACLU issued a report this morning on “hyper aggressive” policing in America where billions of dollars in military equipment is transferred from the pentagon to local law enforcement. Local SWAT teams use the equipment to bust down doors searching primarily for drugs, and rarely, if ever, use the equipment for what it’s intended to do be used for: taking down snipers or freeing a hostage.

People say a lot of crazy things promoting one of their movies, Gary Oldman comes to mind, and now failed presidential candidate turned right wing movie producer Rick Santorum was promoting some garbage his studio put out and warned that bakers and florists in Colorado who won’t cater a gay wedding will be placed in a reeducation camp until they see the error of their ways. Santorum warned of complacency and said this is a “war” that we can’t back away from. Sounds like he’s not selling too many tickets for his crap movie. Then again it’s tough putting asses in seats these days especially when you’re obsessed with what’s being put in those asses.
This is nothing short of Neocon phone sex. Dick Cheney called into the Hugh Hewitt program this morning and the two men engaged in apocalyptic phone sex fantasizing about another terrorist attack and the military dictatorship in America that would certainly follow.
Killed due to neglect.
Let’s see if that racist fascist Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the balls to arrest the son a GOP Senator. I guarantee you he doesn’t do anything because Sheriff Joe only picks on people of color who can’t afford a lawyer.
