Those dang right-wingers...

So I keep hearing about the “right-wingers” who are causing so much trouble these days. Huh…I guess all right-wingers are nothing but trouble.

Take the Obama Joker poster guy…this “right-winger” is a guy named Firas Alkhateeb, a 20-something student from Chicago and a Dennis Kucinich supporter…WAIT! Dennis Kucinich? That’s gotta be wrong…this joker poster HAS TO be the work of some right-wing lunatic, doesn’t it? Oh…well…I guess not. (NOTE: I am only referring to the depiction of Obama as the Joker…the moniker “socialism” was added to the picture at a later date—I am not attributing that to Alkhateeb.)

Okay, how about that girl who called Obama’s health care plan a “Nazi plan” at the Barney Frank town hall? Surely, she has to be some right-wing nut! Doesn’t she? She had a picture of Obama as Hitler and everything! Oh wait, that particular picture she had is something used by Linden LaRouche supporters. (For those who don’t know, LaRouche is about 3 tics to the left of Obama and his supporters consider Obama’s health care plan a “Nazi plan.”) DANG! Another “right-winger” that didn’t pan out!

I guess that’s just too bad for Maddow, Olbermann, Daily Kos, HuffPo, ThinkProgress, et al…

However, this poster of Obama as the Joker got me to thinking about a secondary issue. On several occasions, the poster has been referred to as a racist representation of Obama. But wait a minute; I seem to remember hearing that minorities can’t be racist (from the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc…).

SO…either the poster IS racist which would mean that Jackson and Sharpton are WRONG…
OR…the poster IS NOT racist (as is being claimed) because Alkhateeb, a Palestinian, cannot be a racist since he's a minority.

So which is it?!?

Anybody can be a racist…witness Jackson’s “Hymietown” comment and Sharpton’s “Diamond Merchant” comment…seems pretty clear to me. Of course, I’m nothing but an inbred, right-wing, bitter clinger…so what would I know anyway?

Facts ARE stubborn things...

Wow! I never thought I'd use something Hillary said in my blog...but in light of the current healthcare debate...

A Mob? Really?

So let me get this straight...people expressing their opinion by shouting at town hall meetings are a "mob", but people at the RNC expressing their opinion by shouting as well as trying to *bodily* prevent delegates from making it to the RNC are "protesters." Huh...I haven't yet seen any reports of people at these town hall meetings doing anything but talking (or shouting)... Really? A "mob"? You're serious? I guess I'd better spend some time figuring out what a "mob" really is...
