Shakesville nails CNN on their despicable carrying of water for the Republican and Hilary Clinton nutjobs....


As I know you're not particularly great with doing your homework, let me reiterate the highpoint of my earlier missive for you: If you're trying to spy unpatriotic interlopers in the general Beltway area, keep your eyes peeled for a collection of despicable miscreants who have launched two failed wars, robbed the country blind, devastated via neglect and incompetence the national infrastructure, let an American city drown, flagrantly disregarded the Geneva Conventions to torture enemy combatants, engaged in extraordinary rendition, tossed out habeas corpus like day-old bread, illegally spied on American citizens, tried to codify discrimination into the Constitution, celebrated unfunded educational mandates, sent soldiers with no body armor to fight in unprotected vehicles, let energy companies write the national energy policy, continually sniffed at an unprecedented number of uninsured Americans, increased both the teen pregnancy and abortion rates by an intractable insistence on abstinence-only sex education, equated dissent with treason, and, among a nonillion other things I could mention, spent the last seven+ years exploiting a tragic terrorist attack on American soil for political gain.

Apparently, the MSM seems to have accepted the fuckery that jingoism is equal to patriotism. Flagpins are much more important indicators of an all-abiding love for your country than actually taking care of Americans. This kind of fuckery is reminding me of Joe McCarthy and the Red Scare. Talk about those who don't know their history repeating it. Fourth estate, my arse!


Oh dear, Obama goes there:



About not wearing an American flag lapel pin, Obama said Republicans have no lock on patriotism.

"A party that presided over a war in which our troops did not get the body armor they needed, or were sending troops over who were untrained because of poor planning, or are not fulfilling the veterans' benefits that these troops need when they come home, or are undermining our Constitution with warrantless wiretaps that are unnecessary?

"That is a debate I am very happy to have. We'll see what the American people think is the true definition of patriotism."



HA! About time the Democrats handed a couple of body blows to the right-wing and Hilary Clinton smear machine! Yes! *Punches fist in the air*
