It can’t be denied that there is widespread cooperation to deny republicans the ridicule they deserve. The media, the government, even our President Obama consistently work to deny republicans well deserved ridicule under the guise of “civility” or “balance”, ruthlessly and shamelessly refusing even a snicker or eye roll to even the most blatantly humorous pronouncements.
The few brave souls who refuse to go along with this backwards and discriminatory travesty are banished to the backwater of obscure cable channels by the institutionalized discrimination machine that rules the public discourse with an iron fist.
Here’s a great example: 30 years of conservative policy have run our country so deep down the shitter Roto Rooter can’t even reach it; then republicans go out and scream about how President Obama is ruining the country and nobody even cracks a smile.
To pull off discussing republican policies with a straight face, or to resist the urge to bust out laughing when a republican like Boner or McConnell speaks must require acting skills at least on the level of, say, Monty Python in the skit where the guy wants to have an argument…
Personally, I don’t see how republicans summon the strength to keep their chin up and continue on in the face of such relentless oppression. It’s no wonder Boner breaks down and cries, for heaven’s sake.
I believe it’s time we end these discriminatory practices once and for all and finally, at long last, give the republicans the well-earned and hard fought for ridicule that they so richly deserve. I, for one, believe it’s the only truly progressive and forward looking thing to do.
I know, they're republicans. But please, have a heart.
