From the Inky:
HARRISBURG – State agency officials raised concerns that strict new voter-identification requirements would disenfranchise voters, according to documents presented Monday in Commonwealth Court.
Plaintiffs’ lawyers produced several memos and other documents that showed state officials expressed reservations that legislation to limit the kinds of acceptable IDs for voting might prevent some groups, such as the elderly and disabled, from voting.
Officials with the Department of Aging and the Department of State, which oversees elections, suggested broad options – such as granting all voters over 65 the right to absentee ballots – as a “good solution to ensure that no qualified elector is disenfranchised because of illness [or] disability” that prevented him or her from obtaining proof of identity.
Among other things, this will eventually result in the public hanging of the GOP. Now people know what it means and they won’t have their vote taken away by wealthy white men who hate people who aren’t. People will show up at the polls and dare the party to not allow them to cast a vote while others walk by. And it will be the end of them.
Another avenue not yet discussed much is the potential for poll workers who may just ignore voter id requirements when they know it may block someone who has voted regularly for years. Poll workers, after all, live in the same cities and communities.
In the end the GOP strategy is unworkable. It only inspires others to work toward the exclusion and destruction of the party. It truly is the party of white male pariahs.
And from the neo-Confederacy, North Carolina, today:
Just when you thought the 2013 session of the North Carolina General Assembly had hit rock bottom, it’s about to get a hell of a lot worse. Click here to see the worse-than-anyone-would-have-ever-imagined voter suppression bill that has emerged in the state Senate. The new 57 page proposal will be heard this afternoon at 2:00 pm in the Senate Rules Committee.
According to good government advocates who have gotten a chance to examine the proposal after obtaining a copy last night, the bill includes dozens of disastrous provisions …
One of the proposed measures are particularly poisonous, patently for the enabling of the citizens of WhiteManistan to disempower all others:
[a] voter can be challenged by any registered voter of the county rather than the precinct
That’s called a straight invitation to a brawl, the GOP’s way of waging its cold Civil War 2 out in the counties.

PARIAH: “Not letting our worst heritages die without a fight!”
From Philly.com:
[PA GOP party chairman] Rob Gleason has set off a new round of criticism by crediting voter ID with helping narrow Obama’s margin of victory last fall.
In an interview broadcast on PCN-TV, Gleason was asked whether he thought the attention drawn to Voter ID affected last year’s elections.
He replied.”Yeah, I think a little bit. We probably had a better election. Think about this, we cut Obama by 5%, which was big. A lot of people lost sight of that. He won, he beat McCain by 10%, he only beat Romney by 5%. I think that probably Voter ID had helped a bit in that.”
PARIAH — recently.

Posted in Culture of Lickspittle, Psychopath & Sociopath, Ted Nugent, WhiteManistan at 5:09 pm by George Smith
The rest of the country is now sort of hipping to the fact that newspaper reporters, tv men and music journalists calling Ted Nugent just a good speaker with colorful opinions, for years, has had a regrettable result.
This:
But George Zimmerman and his entire family, innocent of any wrongdoing, have lost everything and will be in debt for a long, long time for having to fight the trumped-up charges that he “profiled??? and/or set out to murder the poor, helpless, dope-smoking, dope-peddling, gangsta wannabe, Skittles hoodie boy.
No link, from Nugent’s column at WorldNetDaily, the second in two days on the same matter, only with the hate speech turned up louder.
It is hard to imagine a copy editor who is a decent human being not walking off the job upon being assigned a column containing that. Certainly, of all the copy editors and editors I’ve worked for or known, none would have stomached it or bought any arguments that it had worth as controversial free speech.
It’s just pure cruelty.
The mainstream media made Ted Nugent a more successful character. He’s as much a creature of CNN and network news as he is of fringe extreme right wing websites. Music journalists who have to deal with him every weekend on his summer tour of dumps hardly touch him other than to print whatever he says.
A few days ago, at the Phoenix New Times, the terrible alternative news weekly company that bought the Village Voice and its properties years ago:
Nugent: Clearly Democrats have a solid lock on racism by scamming dishonest policies that continue the slavery of dependency that has hurt the black community more than any other … Historically it was the Democrat Party that fought against civil rights on all fronts, even infesting the evil subhuman KKK. The truth is very ugly and hurts, doesn’t it?
Ted Nugent is this summer’s public standard-bearer for malice delivered fresh from WhiteManistan every week.
There’s a cost for mainstreaming hate speech as bread-and-circuses entertainment and the final line on the bill for it isn’t in sight.

The man the WaPost devoted a Sunday magazine feature to, delivering the pure milk of human kindness for which he is known and revered:
“And so it was for a few weeks until the race-baiting industry saw an opportunity to further the racist careers of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Black Panthers. President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, et al, who then swept down on the Florida community refusing to admit that the 17-year-old dope smoking, racist gangsta wannabe Trayvon Martin was at all responsible for his bad decisions and standard modus operendi [sic] of always taking the violent route … [No] one can possibly dispute the recent surge in black racism increasing throughout Barack Obama’s presidency … The only racism on that night was perpetrated by Trayvon Martin.”

From Krugman, today, on the GOP push to kill food stamp programs:
But these days almost half of food stamp recipients are non-Hispanic whites So [food stamps are] not all about race … What is it about, then? Somehow, one of our nation’s two great parties has become infected by an almost pathological meanspiritedness, a contempt for what CNBC’s Rick Santelli, in the famous rant that launched the Tea Party, called “losers.??? If you’re an American, and you’re down on your luck, these people don’t want to help; they want to give you an extra kick. I don’t fully understand it, but it’s a terrible thing to behold.
List of states, by population, from least to most, that total the number of people on food stamps in the US:
Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana, Rhode Island, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Idaho, Nebraska, West Virginia, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Iowa, Connecticut, Oregon, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Kentucky. That’s 26. Counted here last year.
Image collection for “food stamps.” Illustrative and not in any good way.

Still no escape from WhiteManistan. America’s original sin, the foundation belief that the chosen make their own rules, obviously needs more disassembling. A lot more.
The rest I leave to Frank at Pine View Farm, who calls it another result of America’s original sin.
