The pure milk of American kindness
The NRA filled everyone with hot lead.
Revisit the psychotic hate in the YouTube comments. And you begin to see why it’s turned out this way a year later.

WhiteManistan’s Minister of Fascism gets an idea
WhiteManistan’s Minister of Best Practices in Fascism, Ted Nugent has the cure for ailing America.
He’ll use his NRA clout to make it law that everyone who buys a gun at a gun show go through a background check if the rest of us will campaign for and help enact law that takes the right to vote for presidential and congressional candidates in elections away from people who pay no income tax.
“The voting ‘loophole’ needs to be closed in order to restore fairness in federal elections,” reasons Nugent. It’s not necessarily permanent, he says. If you pay income tax for three consecutive years, your voting rights will be restored. “[Let’s] get it on. We have a country to save.”
(He could also have tied disenfranchisement to enrollment in the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. This would have had the added benefit of preserving some of the votes of poor white people in red states where Tea Party governors have refused to take government money for it.)
This isn’t new, only more formally codified. During December of 2012 he also campaigned for disenfranchising “welfare leeches.”
It seems that during the holiday season, one of the things on Ted Nugent’s cheery mind is taking away the vote from all the bloodsuckers, er — not white people, who don’t pay income tax.
No link, obviously.

Postcards from WhiteManistan
WhiteManistan’s Minister of Public Bigots, Ted Nugent, devotes his weekly column at World Net Daily to a bizarre shooting at a barbershop/gambling parlor in Detroit.
It’s the usual dog whistle for old white Republicans who just know, just know, that all cities are violent cesspools of African American gangsters made that way by decades of Democratic welfare programs.
But, to his best writing (“best” being an elastic and relative term) which signals the age of his audience:
“The AP reported that three Detroiters recently got more than a haircut at Al’s. Seems they ended up on a cold slab at the Motorcity’s cooler after a couple of hatchmen [sic — ‘henchmen’ or possibly, ‘hatchetmen’ ] with roscoes filled Al’s Barbershop with hot lead. Six or so other people were taken by the band-aid bus to the local hospital.”
The cooler! Roscoes! Hot lead! Band-aid bus! The first three are old noir gold but I don’t think ‘band-aid bus’ was ever popular in an Edward G. Robinson or Bogart movie.
“No one will say the trigger pullers are punks, thugs and urban degenerates,” writes Ted, but he will, many times in the space of a few paragraphs, god bless.
The best Ted prose delivers to the old peoples of WhiteManistan the same message, to them irrefutable logic, so in this the “hatchmen urban degenerates” of Al’s are only the essay’s conveniences:
“If Mr. Obama wants to blame something for this other than the punks who pulled the trigger, he might want to inform America that for the past 50 years social welfare programs designed, engineered and promoted by liberals have wreaked havoc on black families across America.”
I myself had to dodge a spray of bullets in Pasadena, just yesterday.
Sarah Palin kicked off her book tour in Bethlehem, WhiteManistan, where I used to live and work, a couple days ago.
From the local paper, where I also did stuff:
” ‘She is the embodiment of American exceptionalism,’ said Ronnie DelBacco of Easton … [Palin’s book] attacks the idea that modern, consumerist America is at war with the religious symbolism of Christmas and even the greeting, ‘Merry Christmas.’ Palin writes of Scrooges, who often exhibit liberal or left-wing tendencies, like listening to National Public Radio, and their failure to grasp the true meaning of the season.”
Scrooges of left-wing tendencies, as far as something from an American exceptional gold-plated dummkopf goes, is pretty good!
If I were still at the newspaper I would have lobbied to do a Nightclubbing on the event, considerably more amusing, and a guarantor of a bag of colorful hate-mail the next day.
Because as virtually all Americans know, when it comes to the work of Dickens, the most famous character is Ebenezer Scrooge, liberal Commie!

Evidence of failed state
Last week:
“The president should schedule town meetings in the districts of the most radical Republicans … He will certainly face vitriol … He will show that he doesn’t write off any American, even those who demonize him. This will be far more powerful than going to friendly audiences for staged events — and it will make clear to independents that he can break out of the usual partisan script.??? –Peter Liu, CNN pundit
The upside of the spectacle is that with these photos, the Tea Party fucked the dog in front of everyone, dragging the Republican Party along. The entire tribe’s now fit for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

WhiteManistan antique product demonstration
Hunter Thompson, 1970:
“The last really functional weapon that got mentioned in The Police Chief was the Nutcracker Flail, a combination club and pincers about three feet long that can cripple almost anybody. It works like a huge pair of pliers, the officer first flails the living shit out of anybody he can reach … and then, when a suspect falls he swiftly applies the ‘nutcracker’ action, gripping the victim’s neck, extremities or genitals with the powerful pincers at the ‘reaching’ end of the tool, then squeezing until all resistance ceases.”
Onstage about half-way in.

Honoring Tea Party Patriots
A video triptych from where it all began. Viewing it easily convinced that if the tribe ever gained political power, it would be calamitous. And so it is.
From “Dr. King was a Republican!” to “I love capitalism” to Craig Miller of Pennsylvania, nationally famous for three minutes. Emblematic.
“I’m a nudist!” Women’s laughter. Fade to black.

The dimbulb and satire
Ted Nugent has the cure for Detroit:
“Huge swaths of the abandoned dead city should literally be given to private industry for them to build new industries. These industries that build there should be promised, in writing, that their taxes will be the lowest of any city in America. Because Detroit is broke and bankrupt, industries that take the offer would be responsible for paying for their own police, fire, schools for the children of their employees and other services typically reserved for government employees … only industry can potentially save Detroit from doom.”

DD talks to Politifact
A WhiteManistan Republican, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, tried to badmouth the website implementation of Obamacare on MSNBC.
“Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who opposes Obamacare, was particularly vocal on MSNBC about the issues he saw with the new system,” reads Politifact today. “He said lawmakers now realize some of the downfalls of the system, including technical concerns.”
Cotton: “They realize that the websites aren’t ready, that there’s no privacy protections, that there’s likely to be data breaches.”
Politifact got in touch with yours truly and I had a significant hand in explaining that no such claims could be made.
On-line data protection on with secure sites is a complicated business. Further, Obamacare access is not even centralized through one site, which Cotton addressed, healthcare.gov.
Depending on where you live you can be directed offsite to another secure page that is maintained by a state (as with California), not the US government. In other words, the Obamacare system has many partners and portals. It is distributed across the nation.
Politifact didn’t use this quote, they opted for another about secure practices, but it summarizes the matter:
“There is a complexity to the matter that in no way lends itself to a blanket assertion about risk delivered by a politician.”
Unsurprisingly, someone like Cotton would literally have no idea. Politifact dubbed his statements false.

The wisdom of the six figure explainer
What could go wrong?
Best suggestion from six figure explainer at CNN on how to end GOP-caused Constitutional crisis, ever!
Eric Liu recommends the Prez go deep into the heart of WhiteManistan for town meetings with his haters (no link):
“The president should schedule town meetings in the districts of the most radical Republicans … He will certainly face vitriol … He will show that he doesn’t write off any American, even those who demonize him. This will be far more powerful than going to friendly audiences for staged events — and it will make clear to independents that he can break out of the usual partisan script.”
I don’t know why anyone else hasn’t thought of it! The Prez needs to go and just have some friendly talk with rabid groups who don’t believe he’s an American. When he does that the Tea Party shut down will end and everyone will get candy and cake!
All they need is some love and respect.
