I usually try to stay as far away from wingnut forums and discussion threads as possible, fearing that teh stupid will fry my poor brain cells and leave me intellectually incurious and incurably bigoted.
BUT...since I was at Joe Biden's appearance yesterday in Tacoma with Angry Mouse, I'm a little obssessed today with the local press coverage.
I found some pictures where you can see Mouse and I from a VERY long ways away if you squint really hard and mumble "There's no place like home" after spinning blindfolded in a circle three times. I found nearly complete text of the speechifying itself. It was a wonderful, exhausting day, and I was thrilled I went.
And now, reading the comments on Seattle's local ABC affiliate, I understand WHY I'm so glad I went. Even here in liberal, progressive, solid blue Seattle, there's a boatload of hate and anger on the right:
Good friend of Obama once said, ''Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at,'' Bill Ayers
As you'll see below, there are a number of assertions about Ayers, and all of them involve vicious, hateful lies.
Well, if you're a parent, Barry Hussein's friends want you dead...
I have no idea why Barack would want parents to die, but ookkkaayy then.
''Dig it! Manson killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they shoved a fork into a victim's stomach.'' Bernardine Dohrn, wife of Bill Ayers and close friends of the Obamas
I'd love to know where the "close friends" assertion comes from. Undoubtedly some other delusional lie.
...a cretin like Barry Hussein would never have made it beyond the streets of Chicago, running with the gangs. That's where he belongs.
A Harvard-educated constitutional law professor and US Senator should be "running with gangs"? If that's the case, what should we do with less-educated corrupt Republicans?
Biden GUARANTEES U.S. will be attacked in first 6 months under Barry Hussein.
There was more to the above quote. It was total tinfoil hat stuff.
What you want to change from bad into worst? Osama Hussein Binladen. Opps Obama Binden. Two both combination sounds like Osama Binladen. I wonder why terrorist took 911 for the attack that make sense
This is just nasty. Just really, really nasty. And that's all I have to say about that.
I'm ashamed and deeply saddened that there are so many ill-informed, racist, rude and foolish people here in what I always thought was one of the most enlightened parts of the country. And those were just the comments about Senators Obama and Biden....the things they said about our wonderful Democratic Governor Gregoire were equally as nasty.
And it's this kind of shit that scares the hell out of me when I think of what happens in the unlikely event of a McCain victory in two weeks.
Love,
Auntie....
