Truly Vile People 0

You can’t make this stuff up.

An attendee at the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday allegedly threw nuts at a black camerawoman working for CNN and said “This is how we feed animals” before being removed from the convention, a network official confirmed to TPM.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes 0

A letter to the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer reminds disaffected lefties that creating change takes work, not magic.

Here’s a nugget:

WHAT DOES change look like? You thought the euphoric wave of hope would spread and wash over a nation by virtue of sheer will. You thought that casting your one vote for President Obama sealed the deal. You thought that Grover Norquist would acquiesce. You thought that the Koch brothers, Adelson, Friess and the Romney-likes were going to cede the least bit of their privilege to the common laborer, the soccer mom or the working poor for the good of a nation.

This is what change looks like: Forty-some millionaires and billionaires fund the flood of negative ads across the airwaves. Romney approves flat-out lies – in three waves of welfare attack ads, despite independent fact-checkers and Mr. Conservative, Joe Scarborough (“Morning Joe”), discrediting his claims. No shame – the ads continue!

Read the whole thing.

Then take his advice and grow up already.

Letting Their Freak Flag Fly 0

Tony Norman finds the bright side of teabaggery:

You have to give the Republicans credit. The expansion of Tea Party warriors within GOP ranks has produced candidates this election cycle who, unlike their more mainstream brethren, are incapable of lying about their positions.

They tell you exactly what they believe, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

Zandar:

And this is the problem, this fundamental reason why the GOP is jamming on the race card button as hard as they can. The notion that white America has lost control of the highest office in the land has driven more than a few of them over the edge.

Excerpt:

I’m not gonna get lectured by Mitt Romney or anyone on the Romney campaign about the tone of this campaign.

This is a guy who’s flown all over the country saying he’s not sure whether the president believes in America. Right? We’re auctioning off dinners with the brither in chief, right wing nut job Donald Trump who still questions whether or not the president was born in the United States of the America.

Republican Science Is a Wonderful Thing, Reprise 0

Philly dot com, after extensive investigation, has uncovered addition tenets of Republican science, to supplement the belief that a woman can’t get pregnant from rape unless she secretly enjoyed it. A snippet; follow the link for the rest:

  • Female hormones turn off barbecues and cause steering wheels to spin out of control.
  • Heart disease is what happens when a man’s body punishes him for eating like a girl.
  • If a woman has big breasts, that means she likes you.
