And Fox Nation leaves this in a bag on America's doorstep, lights it on fire, rings the bell and runs. (h/t Oliver Willis)
Ahh,
the President's birthday celebration had black people at it, and
didn't create jobs! This is where we are right now, it's a brutally
long campaign season, folks...and the rampant, ugly, and now massively
overt racism by the GOP and their enablers is only beginning. People
ask me how President Obama can put up with such drooling idiocy, and I
remind them that the President is never the true audience for shock
jock racism like this.
In
a sick way, you have to admire the blue steel hatred Fox has for the
man. When the dog whistles are put away and the megaphones are brought
out instead, it's proof that the President's most recent maneuver has
demoralized the Tea Party faithful and that it's time to throw the red
meat into the pit to get some action going (and gives more "moderate"
conservative pundits the chance to pretend to disavow the bomb-throwing
to look "centrist and principled.")
It
must mean then that the rank and file Tea Party disagree with John
"Orange Julius" Boehner's assessment that the GOP got 98% of what they
wanted in the debt deal. Indeed, many Americans are furious at the Republicans in the wake of this week's deal and the weeks of hostage-taking that preceded it.
