Ah...the true face of Republican party in all its ugly, racist and bigoted glory. And most surprisingly, Ann Coulter is the mildest of the haters. The Coultergeist takes the bronze for repeatedly referring to Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama as B. Hussein Obama on Hannity & Colmes, furthering both the bigotry against Muslims (that appears to be FOX's stock in trade) and suspicion of the UCC-attending Obama because of the Muslim background of family members. For the record, Coulter was back on MSNBC the next day doing the same thing and is scheduled to be on Hardball on June 26, almost a year to the date of her calling Nobel Peace Prize winning Al Gore "a total fag." My question to MSNBC's producers: WHY???
The silver goes to Laura Ingraham for her sneering and racist comments on Al Sharpton's visit to the White House:
INGRAHAM: Oh, did anyone see President Bush at the White House? This was interesting: He was celebrating African-American History Month, and he made that comment, saying, you know, "People shouldn't play around or -- with nooses," and that was clearly a reference to, you know, all the problem that, you know, appearance of nooses has caused in this country. And he talked about that. And then, he welcomed Al Sharpton to the White House. I hope they nailed down all the valuables.
Classy.
And finally, the winner of the bigot race is none other than radio talk show host Tom Sullivan who likened Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the heart and twisted blackened soul of the Republican noise machine.
One reason I would support Obama is simply to see more heads explode.
Laura Ingraham is one mean person. Just mean, down to the core.
Sadly, no one is surprised or outraged when we hear this bile spew from the reich-wing.....we EXPECT the reich-wing to act like this.
What church does (m)ann belong to
The World Church of the Creator?

I do not know who will win this primary or the next election, but I do hope it puts out of business all the hate spewing idiots in the MSM and in the blogosphere. Left wingers are doing it, too. Check out Americablog and Dkos. They have become what they have always hated. Very sad!
ysbaddaden @ 5:
Thanks for the visual.
That's Tom Sullivan? Looks kinda like Tom Wolfe.
J. "tortured for several years, at who knows what cost to his sanity?" McCain.
What? It's true. Just like "Hussein" really is Obama's middle name (which is always the smear merchants' excuse).
Funny, though, I don't remember them referring to Clinton as "W. Jefferson Clinton."
Pronouncing Obama's name the way Ann does sounds childish and shallow. Also a little desperate.
pissed off patricia @ 11:
Sounding childish and shallow is Ann's wheelhouse.
Dr. Matt @ 3:
I'm pretty much numb to the BS that comes from this ilk, but this one really pissed me off. I emailed that human POS how I felt. Not that it'll matter. Not that it'll change him in any way, but I am a bit surprissed I still can feel outrage after all the de-sensitizing I've experienced. Good for me. Blame the hopemonger Obama for awakening a spark deep inside, but most of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. Fuck Tom Sullivan!
pissed off patricia @ 11:
Well, Ann is childish and shallow. You expected something different?
You know I don't usually take offense at light racial things, I have think the lefty blogs get a little carried away from time to time, but Al Sharpton should have himself a field day and demand an apology for Ingraham's remark. Maybe he could lose that bitch some of her advertisers. He's a reverend for Christ's sake. But I guess that doesn't count for him as much as the color of his skin counts against him.
Dark White @ 14:
Well yes. Usually she is mean and obnoxious.
Nicole, I hate to be a grammar bore on this one, but I reckon you mean "bigotry against Muslims", not "bigotry of". In my experience the average Muslim is no more bigoted than your average anyone.
Get used to it.
By the time the election is over his middle name will be used more than his first name when the right is through with him.
Republicans = Fart Splatter
Republicans = Crusty Butt Hairs
No matter how much they screw up and how many issues they abandon, they will always come back to racism. It's the very foundation of their ideals, the utter core of their motivation: Elevation of their 'beautiful minds' above the dark rabble.
This Faustian motivation is the very reason the party is imploding in front of their very eyes. Reality is the blade slicing away at the shell they've wrapped themselves in over the years. And yay for us, once the shiny new ugly is peeled away, we get to re-experience the moldy old ugly underneath.
pissed off patricia @ 16:
Maybe she is remaking herself to appeal to a broader audience? Like KKKindergartners?
zen I take it by your comment that you prefer living in a fascist country but do you want to be a little more specific or do you just have something against Patricia?
KyleXY @ 19:
I predict the last time we'll hear it is when John Roberts says "do you, Barack Hussein Obama, solemnly swear to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States..."
KyleXY @ 19:
Great! Then when people go to vote and don't see Hussien Osama they won't think he is on the ballot and will vote for McCain!!
ysbaddaden @ 4:
I don't think so. I call my junk "The Creator," and she would never be allowed near it.
zen @ 18:
Uh, because they're corrupt assholes and major douchebags who are making the world worse for me, my family, and my future offspring.
I heard TSullivan in a clip on GreatScat and he accused the second caller of 1. being a democrat, 2. attended a Barack Conference to "learn" how to call in to right wing talk shows. and 3. felt like he was about to call the guy "uppitty" by the end of the "dialog".
I really hate that they use their callers to spew the bile they know would get them kicked off the air! I swear their racist callers are plants so they can get the vile messages out and claim deniablility.
These are the surrogates who will warm up the crowd for the return of T Boone Pickens and his All American Swift Boat Slime Team.
Will it be Obama's early years in Indonesia with sly innuendo about the schools he attended?
Or perhaps his years at the den of iniquity - Harvard Law - where he edited Pravda?
Maybe something not yet hinted at, a secret meeting with Osama. The Obama Osama Axis of Evil.
Only T. Boone knows. Truth? We don't need no stinkin' truth. The tiny brained will believe whatever we tell them.
The Republicans are losing bad and the more they go down the more pissy they get.
perhaps you mean "twisted bone-white heart."
er, sorry. "soul."
zen @ 18:
Easy.....none of us get air time on multiple cable and broadcast stations.
Are there that many republicans left who even like what their party has become?
They're all childish and shallow... they're supposed to be adults, but they're not. Each and every one of these asshats is a loser that couldn't possibly make it in the real world.
Rusty Shackleford @ 24:
And immediately following that, there will be explodin neo-con heads goin off like the 4th of fuckin July...I can't WAIT!
On a positive note, Obama takes the lead 48-42 in Texas, this according to ARG, http://www.americanresearchgroup.com/
Dr. Matt @ 33:
And we're not shallow, ignorant, bible thumpin racists who see the enemy around every corner.
bush and cheney have given us plenty of powerful reasons to jump on them. People have died and been killed in a needless war because of them. Our country is in debt forever because of them. Yeah, I'm gonna vent about them and often too.
Ann's reason for pronouncing Obama's name the way she does is because she is trying to create something she feels is negative about him. He has done nothing negative but she thinks that doing what she's doing is clever and will convey a message to those who listen to her. Thing is, she is playing the people who listen to her for fools. She uses them.
Some of the younger folks here may not believe it, but there was a day - a day when we all believed the days of public people making public utterances like these were a thing of the past - a day when abject bigotry and racism were NOT viewed as "the face of the Republican Party" - and a day when a Republican could consider themselves "social liberals and fiscal conservatives" without engendering derisive laughter in the room.
I miss those days.
Blue Lensman @ 1:
These people voted for W, not once, but twice. They will all come together in November with the independent white voters (who thought they could vote for a black man, but find they can't) and elect John McCain our next president. Then whose heads will explode?
Dick @ 41:
Your name suits you.
Oh, one other thing: Sullivan's words and actions may or may not have been motivated by racism and bigotry, but they were not in and of themselves racist or bigoted.
Bigotry and Racism is idotic, but Idiocy has many other forms. Sullivan managed to nail one of those other forms to perfection.
Teleken @ 30:
Yeah, I think they're just now realizing the tide has turned against them. The wave that started in 2006 has the potential to become a tsunami in '08. Expect them to be in full panic mode between now and Nov.
Maybe we need to look into Ann's middle name. I have no idea what it is, but hey, there might be something there.
In Sharpton's case I think we can make an exception.
They have their fundeMENTALists we have "Rev" Al.
Actually, all you have to do is put a Rev or Pastor(Huckabee)in front of your
name and you can act like a Mafioso and get away with it...
so they do have a lot in common.
Dick @ 41:
Obama will bring much of the country together, but not those dead set against it: such as the "Christian" Fascists and Liberal Purists committed to defeat, so they can continue to bitch and moan about how this whole mess is someone else's fault.

No matter how much they screw up and how many issues they abandon, they will always come back to racism. It’s the very foundation of their ideals, the utter core of their motivation: Elevation of their ‘beautiful minds’ above the dark rabble.
It is hard to think of a significant common denominator among the various modern Republican policies other than racism.
zen @ 18:
I think the main reason is that C & L is not part of the MSM. Not yet at least!! Nor are the posters here paid to be shills for the cause, were here because we care about holding our represenatives responsible for their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution,

Sullivan, talk about that. I'm sure you could find some other ways that Bush isn't like Hitler.
prunes @ 55:
Fear. They're terrified that someone is going to take away their guns, keep soldiers from killing brown people while they play armchair general, and give civil rights to people that don't share the same sexual preference that they claim to have (notice that I say claim here). They're scared that the Dems aren't going to get into pissing contests with every other nation, that immigrants are evil, that they're going to lose the supremacy of their religion(s) over everyone else, and that Dems want to tax them into oblivion. And that doesn't even begin to touch their fear of the "Islamofascist" boogeyman that lives under their bed right next to Bill Clinton's penis and the sad ghost of what patriotism used to be.
Nicole Belle @ 51:
So you become presidential at 1am every morning?
Dick @ 41:
A lot of people just look for a "D" or an "R" when they vote. Unfortunately for Republicans, most of them don't know how to spell "R". They think it's spelled "W". You guys are totally screwed.
pissed off patricia @ 16:
oh, don't forget she runs fast and loose with the facts if she uses they at all.
I heard the reason she says these things is because it's fun much like everyone says (m)ann coulter but what's up with the adams apple sorry I asked I don't want to know
prunes @ 55:
The only time the Republican party ever embraced the black man is when they needed them to help fight the Civil War. It's a historical fact that the Union army was decimated from 1861 to 1863. Draft riots had broken out in New York City and The Great Emancipator Lincoln knew he had to enlist the blacks to fill in the gaps in the army. The only trouble was, after the war, the Republicans had no more need for the former slaves and left them to suffer the Klan and 100 more years of second or third class citizenship.
Many of the former black soldiers went west and served honorably with the 9th and 10th Calvary, the Buffalo Soldiers, in the plains wars with the American Indians.
Coulter and Ingraham are out and out bigots. I served with blacks in the military in Vietnam and it was my observation they bled the same blood I did. Fuck these bitches, they're George Wallace and Lester Maddox in drag.
Russo @ 59:
How is Bush not like Hitler...
Bush can fly a airplane.
Bush is taller.
Hitler had a mustache.
Hitler got laid more.
Hitler had Eva Braun. She liked it rough. It's a German thing.
Bush has Laura. She likes to dish it out rough. It's a Republican thing.
Hitler invaded Russia.
Bush can't find Russia on a map.
Hitler invaded Poland.
Bush can't find Poland on a map.
Hitler actually signed an armistice agreement.
Bush can't spell armistice.
Hitler's Germany created some of the greatest scientific minds on the planet.
Bush's America refuses to acknowledge science.
Hitler was a jackboot dictator.
Bush is the apprentice of a jack boot dictator (Cheney).
Deighved H Stern MD @ 40:
Dude, give me a break. I am old enough to remember when the Dixiecrat's all change their party affiliation to Republican. I also remember what "states rights" means. I remember the southern strategy. The Republican party has been more than just a little racists for a very long time.
Just what a Southern cracker says while driving through the Redwood National Parks,
"Bigotries!!"
It wasn't only Obama who was denigrated.
Sullivan mimicked the crowd during both speeches, yelling, "Yay! Yay!" MediaMatters
Tom Sullivan not only likened Barack Obama to Adolph Hitler. He likened the crowd of Obama's democratic supporters to Hitler's supporters.
If these wingnut mouth pieces are going to use race as an issue to try to tear up Obama, then they are going to fail big time.
I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but calling Barack Obama "B. Hussein Obama" is perfectly ok since that's his name.
Alex @ 70:
Thanks for clearing that up.
Here's the start of the call to Sullivan's program:
65 years old means he was born in '42 or '43. Hitler's speeches span 1921-41. So the caller was watching Hitler speeches after the Nazis lost the war?
It was the caller who first compared the crowd as like those at Hitler's speeches:
But Sullivan found it a great point to spin:
Oh Nos! Did the caller just gave Obama support for his speech?. The need to be responsible is a Republican talking point! Back-peddle Tom, go to commercial! Quick:
I don't think I have the stomach to transcribe the rest.
seevee @ 71:
It's also perfectly O.K. to call Alexander Hamilton (the guy on the $10 bill) the bastard brat of a Scotch pedlar. But most people refrain from doing that since it isn't relevant. And even Adams only referred to him as such, and not over and over.
As ugly as all those examples are, the sad reality is that a majority of Americans agree with and feel the same way as the motherfuckers who said those racist things. If the majority of us felt sickened and angry about it, as we here do, there wouldn't be a popular forum for hate speech, as we have with Fox News. People wouldn't buy Ann Coulter's books. People wouldn't listen to and advertise with Laura Ingraham, Tom Sullivan, etc.
These people pander to the worst of our society, which unfortunately is only growing stronger due to a constant diet of fear and paranoia. This is the blueprint the Neo-Cons have worked so well these past 25-30 years (going back to Reagan) and now we are suffering the results of their hatred and greed. It's only going to get worse.
more on this at my blog...
Coulter back on MSNBC? Come on Nicole don't ask silly questions. MSNBC is *also* in the business of newsertainment. Not just FOX. It's about money. Come on.
Kewl! Laura Ingraham is trying to outskank Ann Coulter! Ingraham might have a problem, though, if Coulter decides to whip out her male appendage.
I'm confused, actually. Wasn't this from last summer? Look at the date on that Media Matters link. How come it's only coming up now on Olbermann?
I just finished watching some intro material in Foxattacks.com's "OutFoxed" when Jane Abramowitz came on. For some reason, it brought to mind something that Coultergeist spewed from her wicked face (though I can't recall specifically where I read it!) Any way, she was implying that women on the left were ugly and I suppose she was implying that they couldn't compete aesthetically with women in the Repugnicant Party, and that by that implication she was "beautiful!" It brought up the joy of laughter! She, with her extremely prominent Adam's Apple, thinks she's a looker. Jane beats her hands down. I think better be careful because Coultergeist may try to make a move on her, the cross-dressing man that she really is! He/she also said on some past occasion that her body guards could take on body guards of liberal personalities. What an idiot!
Now off to finish watching the video!
Damn Ingraham is a bitch...
I mean, I know that's derogatory on my part, stooping to her level and all... but damn.
"I hope they nailed everything down"? Wow. How do these people get to sit in front of a TV camera again?
crap, i tore up my grammer on that... :(*
I don't understand,and I'll never understand those folks.I get the part about politics.
But ,this ain't politics their talkin about.
just the same old hate mongering from the demented side.
Somebody hacked Sullivan's forum on his Fixed Snooze page yesterday. I wish I could provide a link but they took the link off of his page. It was fargin hilarious. I'm bummed they took it down. These people, Sullivan, Mann Culter, Laura Inbred, are a waste of oxygen. Good on KO for calling them out.
"The Coultergeist takes the bronze for repeatedly referring to Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama as B. Hussein Obama on Hannity & Colmes, furthering both the bigotry against Muslims (that appears to be FOX’s stock in trade)"
Faux News has also been giving "General" Mike Gallagher, doofus right-wing radio nutcase and chickenhawk leader of Gallagher's Army, airtime on F&F to make it known that Obama has the Muslim middle name of Hussein. He did it today, has done it before and he (and others) will do it again. It bigotry, pure and simple, designed to get out the white, Christian vote.
Jesus Christ, they're not even cagey about it anymore, are they?
Lo an behold what Media Matters is reporting this date about the idiot Beck:
On the February 14 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, while discussing a Health magazine article about "Surprising reasons you're not having sex," Glenn Beck raised the subject of "ugly people" and said, "[I]f you're a guy, you can get past it. I don't think you can as an ugly woman." Beck, who also hosts his own show on CNN Headline News, continued: "[Y]ou've got a double cross, because if you're an ugly woman, you're probably a progressive as well." He later added: "If you believed in God, you'd know that there's going to be another chance for you. You don't have to be ugly in heaven. You're going to be your perfect self, and there will be another perfect somebody waiting for you on the other side."
These people are plain wacked out!
realnoid @ 46:
Who has Huckabee ever stood up for? When has he ever put his behind on the line for any one. I think alot of you folks just don't like Rev. Sharpton's style. You don't like the way he dresses, wears his hair and the way he talks. It's just too "street black" just too "ghetto" for your taste. You're too focused on how he talks instead of the substance of what he says. Huckabee is crazy calling for the replacement of the US Constitution with Bible Law. Has Sharpton ever advocated anything as absurb as that?
So what if he's self-promoting - every body's got a role in this progressive movement and his is to keep the agenda of marginalized people on the public agenda. Yet all I hear is contempt for this man. Seems llike you and Laura Ingrahm (that ignorant Aryian 'ho) have more in common.
chicano2nd @ 87:
Glenn Beck sickens me. I'd love to be his travel agent and book him a flight straight to hell.
These right wing crackaz will be the destruction of America.
We need to decide how to handle this Barack Hussien Obama because this is going to be their swift boat on Obama.
My question is even if one was to believe them what is the problem with him being a moslem? It would do far more to endear our enemies to us than it would outrage them.
Is he going to let the terrorists win? How the hell does he do that?
I'm willing to bet they don't have a cognizant answer..They have had people saying "boo" long enough to them that they accept that it is scary with no further thought. I could care less what religon he is. I think the fact that they are trying to turn him into their very own scary monster is hysterical though. They have to have one somewhere or their life is not complete. They must be afraid and make other afraid so they feel braving in tilting at windmills. They are cowards pure and simple.
My only question, why are we letting them do this, we don't have to you know, the r word doesn't have to entail violence, only non participation, quit cooperating, just effing stop. Nothing to lose, you already are losing your houses, fuck your credit it won't mean bupkes soon, just stop. I know it sounds stupid, but let me ask you this, are things looking up, do you really think that Hillary and Barack are going to change all the inner workings of government commandeered by the dark side? Do you think these wars are going to end, that you will finally get health care. I think we can get more attention and result by saying no more we aint movin' 'til you really act in a very substantive manner and address the issues that you have so criminally ignored, the first tob e throwing george and dick to the curb through impeachment now. This has to stop now or it might be too late soon..just my humble take. You are facing the imminent totalitarian state it is not a time to say, whatever.
re: Laura Ingraham
and they threw Imus off the air for his comments,
shouldn't LI be thrown off as well for that comment?
Liberal AND Proud @ 65:
Heeeeheeeheeeee!
Excellent points!
Dick @ 41:
Maybe *yours* will... with delight I hope, when you learn a new day has finally dawned in America. Obama is the very best candidate America has to offer at this moment in history, and his race is irrelevant.
Bob in PA @ 97:
I am with you on this Bob in Pa, what those on the right do not understand is that they might as well walk around hitting themselves on the head as have another like george, who cares not a whit about them, that has systematically taken their's and our rights away from us, and if it comes down to it, will be as oppressed. Man we are so polarized just what power wants, divide us, feed us fear 24/7, crazy, crazy world we live in. Up is down and nothing said means anything but its opposite.
