Glad to see teabaggers being called on more lies this morning, as they have apparently been shamelessly exaggerating the numbers of teabaggers who showed up in DC to vociferate yesterday.  Or maybe it was just a miscount … easy to mistake 60,000 people for 1.5 million.

It’s the kind of honest mistake that might be made by someone who is also prone to snatching phrases like “Nazi” and “death panels” out of thin air and using them as weapons.  Or folks who are inclined to cite God, Jesus and the Bible to back up every hateful and hairbrained idea that percolates up from their festering, repressed and rageful subconsciousnesses.

Nasty folks, these.  If you disagree with them, watch how ugly and extreme things get … like this sign … free speech or a veiled, racist-ish death threat?  Nasty, nasty stuff.

But anyway, yup – easy to confuse 60,000 and 1.5 million people.  Honest mistake.  Not a lie.  Goodness no.

What I still don’t get is … if it’s not racism or sheer partisanship, what are they all so riled up about?  Where were they when Bush did his tax cut thing … or put us into debt?  Why now?  Why healthcare?

Craziness.

Ugh!

The party that purports to be the watchdog for morality and family values here in the USA never fails to deliver when it comes to hypocrisy.  And I never tire of hearing about the repressed and repressive dudes whose fragile egos and rigid super-egos implode while their angry ids run wild.  Sometimes it’s laughable and sometimes it’s really, really disgusting and tragic because of the suffering they cause.

There’s the drug-addled pundit so aptly named Rush … and the self-righteous Lothario, Mr. Sanford.  That anti-gay preacher whose name escapes me … but who had his fun on the side.  The list goes on and on and on in very predictable fashion.  Furious, self-righteous, controlling, judgmental folks are just usually judging others for what they secretly are doing or want to be doing themselves.  There’s no way around it.  You see someone getting all red-faced while they are railing against something … just wait and watch the news.  It’ll come out, whatever it is.

So, for example, Joe Wilson getting all huffy and calling Obama a liar?  Yeah, you got it.  Liar, liar pants on fire, Mr. Wilson.  Turns out he and his family are all very well taken care of by that evil entity – government-run health care.

But there’s more!

Thanks, AMR, for your introduction of another leading light from the right-wing pantheon, Michael Duvall, from California.  He likes to spank (and that’s no lie).  As expected, his political profile offers the typical rigid, righteous rhetoric:  As legislator, Duvall has “blasted” efforts to promote gay marriage. The conservative Capitol Resource Institute gave him a 100% rating, calling him “a consistent trooper for the conservative causes” who “voted time and time again to protect and preserve family values in California” It’s all so predictable, it’s almost laughable.

Or not.  This is a chilling story just coming out of Kentucky … about Steve Nunn, a former GOP lawmaker who was found wandering in a cemetery after a former girlfriend was found dead.  Not laughable.  Not at all.  But how many of the folks who scream about how pro-life they are would also deny the reality of domestic violence (or think it’s a husband’s prerogative)?

So anyway … I’ve had it with the self-righteous, raging, hypocrisy. What the ailing GOP needs is some kind of intervention.  Or exorcism.

Oh, and next time you hear someone call Obama a liar .. or, say, a Nazi … check for the secret drawer with the swastika-embroidered ladies’ underwear and the whip.

Trust me, it’s there!

Don’t give this guy money … give him a diagnosis and get him some help!

Paranoid flavor, for sure.  Quite a few delusions, too.

Dana Milbank has written an excellent piece decrying the GOP’s bad behavior the other night – Mr. Wilson being just one example of what was a generally poor display by the alleged grown-ups representing the Republican Party in Congress.

Someone was asking the other day, why all the heightened affect about healthcare reform?  If you think about it … isn’t it odd that people are so impassioned about it?

As reflected in a bizarre comment left on the blog yesterday … I think it’s more about Obama than about any particular issue.

And it’s more about racism than it is about Obama.

Sorry to say it … sorry to see it … but the ugliness of America’s fear and hate-filled underbelly is on full display as these folks vent their bile.

Who in the GOP will stand up and say enough?  Is there anyone left in the Republican Party with scruples?  With a backbone and a brain?

This 9/11 I feel like we are seeing and hearing what fear mongers and hate mongers create with all their vile “mongering.”

It is ugly.

It is unworthy of us.

But here it is.
