Well, yes, my favorite sport is ridiculing the conservative right-wing of the GOP and all their accolytes and promoters, including those clowns in Congress, plus Rush and Newt and the preachers.
But today, my disgust overflows. It's no longer fun because, in order to ridicule, I have to watch or read about what they're doing and saying. And just a few moments of clips from their "Tea Bag Parties" was enought to make me ill with disgust.
It is sheer idiocy and political posturing. Folks from the tea party rallies were ranting nonsense. Talking about Obama being a fascist and wanting to control their lives and take their money for taxes. Dollars to donuts, every one of them will be getting a tax cut. Because anyone making less than $200,000 will pay less tax. And they didn't look like rich folks.
And there was the governor of Texas at his state tea party, saying that Texas might even consider seceding from the Union. Well, he said, they're not there yet because Texas' economy is doing just fine, thank you very much; but it's something they might have to consider later.
And there was a FoxNews reporter whipping up the crowd's furor about taxation. The "fair and balanced news source" had spent the past week whipping up the anti-tax furor and touting the tea bag parties, as though it was their job to get out the crowd.
Surely, surely they've gone too far and it will backfire. And surely no one will ever again take Fox seriously that they are non-partisan.
