MorristownObama Win Unleashes flurry of RacismSubmitted by Michael Hayne on Sat, 11/15/2008 - 6:20pm.Despite the fact that the democratic planet or “reality town” were collectively glossing over the historic Obama win and partying like it were 1992, many pockets or “regional tumors of the south couldn’t locate a brain cell in their socially backward, clodhopping, cleft-lip minds to acknowledge the sheer enormity of the Obama win. And why should they? The only significant change in the south between now and 50 years ago is newer and shiner belt buckles, which is there way of expressing their opinions. While it is easy to blame these paste-eating numbskulls for their ignorant ways, I would be amiss if I didn’t place the blame on the far-right demagogues of talk radio. Exceptionally odious cretins such as Rush Limbaugh ,“the most impotent an in America,” Mike Savage and Sean Hannity spew more bile than an infected ass pimple. Although not expressively or openly making racist comments or fomenting violence, their totally baseless fear-mongering indirectly contributes to this irrational way of thinking. Let’s face it, Talk Radio educates like Fox News informs. Moreover, Hannity and company reaffirm and perpetuate the narrow-minded parochialness of themselves, which in turn coincides neatly with their remarkably uneducated and miserably uniformed listeners. The fact that reports of nooses and burning crosses are running rampant in the news suggests a couple of things. First, it appears as though the cost of gasoline has really gone down. Second, it appears as though Michael Richards is the GOP heir apparent. In short, it looks like crass cynicism will never concede to hope and progress. Perhaps it is time we give the South the boner it has been seeking for centuries and let it secede, so long as it takes Texas with it and gives us Florida for Spring break. |
