It was bound to happen. I saw it coming. The moderate Republicans not just tolerated the extreme right wing nuts but they also encouraged them. The GOP figured that if they put out lies and discredited the Democrats, vilified President Obama it would be beneficial to the GOP. How wrong they were.
First of all, the majority of the people in America are mostly center right in their thinking. They eventually got tired of the Tea Bag temper tantrums at Town Hall Meetings. The majority of Americans saw right through them and all the Tea baggers did was call a lot of attention to themselves and eventually the majority of Americans got Tea bagger fatigue.
But these assholes were not satisfied with all the attention they got. Yes, they did a lot of damage to the Democrats, to the President and to America. Mostly because the tactics they used had been used before by dictators to silence the opposition. Hitler, Castro, Mussolini, Chavez all used these intimidation by organized mobs.
The Republicans in the center just stood by and did not condemn them. They smirked and secretly applauded. Some even applauded loudly in public like when Chicago didn’t get the Olympics. Now it is all exploding in their faces. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
We hear that former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed a third-party candidate over the GOP-backed contender in New York's congressional special election, saying her own party has abandoned its core values.

The former Alaska governor said Thursday she was backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman over Republican Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava in the 23rd Congressional District race.
Palin said Hoffman, a businessman, stands for Republican principles – smaller government, lower taxes and a commitment to individual liberty – and that Scozzafava is more aligned with Democrats. What they are not saying is that Palin supports ultra-right, nonsensical stupidity in the form of radical ideas. She is way off the charts and so are her followers.
The offseason race to replace former Rep. John McHugh, whom President Barack Obama named as his Army secretary, has drawn national attention to a growing splinter between Republican moderates and conservatives who say they want the party to return its core values.
"The Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race," Palin said in a 
post on her Facebook page Thursday night. In other words, you have to share her ultra-radical right wing ideas or you are not even a Republican. Good show Sarah…and to think that you could have been a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
Scozzafava has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, but she's been criticized by some conservatives for her support for abortion rights, same-sex marriage and other issues.
Scozzafava spokesman Matt Burns said a vote for Hoffman hurts Republicans; the fight is on…this is just the beginning.
Arrogance, pure arrogance…that is Limbaugh
A fictitious article appeared in some blog claiming President Barack Obama slammed the Constitution in his college thesis had some people fooled into thinking it was the real thing -- including Rush Limbaugh.
After an obscure blogger, Michael Leeden, picked it up from a satire Web site last week, the New York Daily News reported Sunday. But after Limbaugh found out the piece was a fake, he didn't apologize for his mistake.
Limbaugh sounded off on the false report about a college thesis allegedly written by Obama, titled "Aristocracy Reborn." In it, the report claimed, the president criticized the nation's Founding Fathers, the Constitution and the distribution of wealth. Much like the bullshit that has been tormenting the Tea Baggers and Limbaugh about his birth certificate, this is just one more fabricated story.
Now let’s see how many of the right wing nuts will pick it up and believe it to be the gospel, you will probably see signs as early as this week in demonstrations across the country slamming Obama for hating the Constitution.
"While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned," the fake report on Obama's Columbia University thesis said about the Constitution. "While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with 
the shackles of hypocrisy."
Limbaugh went off on his show.
"So here is who we have as our President of the United States: an anti-Constitutionalist man who finds it an obstacle and is finding ways around it on purpose, unconstitutionally," Limbaugh said.
"Much of what he's doing is unconstitutional, and I'm waiting for the lawsuits to be filed by some of these people at some point," he added. "How is that hope and change working out for ya, folks?"
Later in the program, Limbaugh learned the report was a fake and alerted his listeners. But he insisted the fabricated thesis was still in line with what the president thinks, the New York Daily news reported.
"So I shout from the mountaintops: 'It was satire!'" Limbaugh said on the program. "But we know he (Obama) thinks it. Good comedy, to be comedy, must contain an element of truth, and we know how he feels about distribution of wealth."
Folks, nothing could be further from the truth. Here we have a President who actually knows the Constitution. He was after all a Professor of Constitutional Law at The University of Chicago…I know, my daughter the lawyer had him in one of her classes and she tell me that there is no other person who either knows the Constitution better or believes in it wholeheartedly.
I think a judge should order Limbaugh’s tongue surgically removed. The right of free speech is for everyone, but when you fuck up like that, you should have enough humility to be able to apologize.

I received this as an E-mail from a friend:
AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2).. We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test 
for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports ... for life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat.. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.
(11).. The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
My apology is offered if I've stepped on anyone's toes .... nevertheless....
GOD BLESS AMERICA !
Sincerely, Bill Cosby
