I Disagree With Gabby the Republican


Lately, the political "discourse" from the right is so overwrought, stupid, paranoid, and downright desperate, that I get the impression they're trying to tell me something, but it's being hidden under the church bell of other terms. For clarification, perhaps we need to turn to Blazing Saddles:

Gabby the Republican: "The Sheriff is a <>"
Rest of the Right Wing Media Town: "He's a Socialist?"
Gabby the Republican: "NO, he's a <>."
Rest of the Right Wing Media Town: "He's an Illegal Alien?"
Gabby the Republican: "NO, he's a <>."
Rest of the Right Wing Media Town: "He's Indoctrinating our children?"
Gabby the Republican: "NO, he's a <>."
Rest of the Right Wing Media Town: "He's Kim Jong Il?"
Gabby the Republican: "NO, DAGNAMIT, HE'S A <>"
Rest of the Right Wing Media Town: "He's a Nazi?"
Gabby the Republican: "Well, that's closer!"

There's really only one logical reason the right responds with such fevered hatred over everything Obama does, including a lot of things other presidents routinely have done. Considering that his policy is not surprisingly new, is often surprisingly centrist, and that most of the attacks on it are about as proportional as calling for the death penalty for a shoplifter, there has to be something else afoot.

How about I say what's on all your minds: The President is a black man. That's right, the American voters went bat shit crazy and elected an African American. 

Feel better?

Hey, at least he's not Irish...
