Classless Conservatives: Laura Ingraham and David Horowitz edition

I don't even know why I bother with this kind of post. Its de rigeur that a conservative be a despicable, spiteful, punk ass bitch liar.

"Obama of course just, uh, turned Iraq over to Iran. Obama is a dangerous, dangerous, evil man, and people have to start saying this. just because he’s black he doesn't get, eh, shouldn’t get a free ride, although I know in America today if you are black you do get a free ride." - David Horowitz

Horowitz is a punk. What gibberish. Horowitz is beloved on the right because he claims to be a 60's marxist whose taken a hard right turn to be an Ultra-Reactionary madman in the mid 1980's. The advent of Reagan provided Horowitz the opportunity to cash in on Wingnut Welfare. And one of the ways you get the conservative base to give you money is by telling them blacks "get a free ride" in America today.

On Jan, 28 2010, NPR All Things Considered in their remembrance of Howard Zinn invited Horowitz on air to slander the great professor,

"There is absolutely nothing in Howard Zinn's intellectual output that is worthy of any kind of respect. Zinn represents a fringe mentality which has unfortunately seduced millions of people at this point in time. So he did certainly alter the consciousness of millions of younger people for the worse."

There's your great Liberal Media. NPR did attempt some damage control after Horowitz was allowed to insult Zinn in his obituary apologizing for airing evidence-less smears

In keeping with the "Liberal Media", newest ABC media member Laura Ingraham was on ABC This Week Sunday Morning claiming,

"We have to not forget, we have four dead Americans. The ambassador's body was dragged through the street. Okay? It was beyond heartbreaking and beyond infuriating." 

Total Lie. Despicable case of Benghazi Fever. Laura Ingraham is best known for her antics in college with D'inesh D'souza of outing homosexual students. Ingraham would secretly tape meetings of the Gay Students Association, then publish the transcript, identifying students by name and calling them “sodomites.”

When Cindy Sheehan began her quest for Justice for her son, Casey, the entire Right-Wing Media lined-up against her to smear, slander, insult and threaten her. Laura Ingraham spent countless hours on her radio show going after Cindy Sheehan with ridicule and petty insults to rile up her fart sucking conservative drones against Sheehan. But, even more shamelessly Ingraham would find grieving Gold Star Mothers and use their grief as a prop to attack Sheehan.

But, back then any dissent against the President or his policies was treason and an attmept to America's enemies. Now why would that be? Why because Commander Codpiece was President and #WKeptUsSafe! 

"Speaking as a woman, and listening to the women who called into my radio show, seeing President Bush get out of that plane, carrying his helmet, he is a real man." - Ingraham on CNN Reliable Sources May, 4 2003

But, this is a waste of time. Cataloging the lies and crass insults from conservatives is akin to counting the number of hydrogen atoms in the Universe.

Ingraham, Horowitz, Jonah Goldberg, Brent Bozell, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, and so many other major movers in the Right-Wing Fart Bubble are paid handsomely to spew this invective.

The Assault on America by Conservatives is never, ever going to stop. They are engaged in a multi-generations long struggle to undo the Progress gained in the 20th Century and transform this Nation into a Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave State crushing the face of mankind forever under the Iron Heel of Plutocracy.

The Passing of a Generation: Howard Zinn and JD Salinger

Howard Zinn and JD Salinger both passed away recently. They belonged to that near mythical generation of Americans (like my beloved and missed Grandparents) who survived the Great Depression and World War II to witness the birth of American Supremacy.

Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye never had the Holden Caulfield rebellion effect on me because I read it much too late. I was already 25 and firmly ensconced (or so I thought) in my persona. However, reflecting on it today, I recognize in it a kernel of my irritation with authority.

But, I first picked up a copy of A People's History of the United States in 1993 after Clinton's victory and when I was listening to Conservative Talk Radio. It was fascinating. How could the stories by true? My American History classes never touched on these plights or the struggles of the poor and oppressed.

Ludlow? The IWW? I'd never heard Mark Twain wrote against War, and more directly against Organized Religion, Governments and the Elites than just in his heavily cloaked but indisputable polemics starring Huck and Tom. And even though I'd lived in the Chicago land area for 20 years I had never heard of Haymarket Square or the subsequent events of the now widely dissembled Weathermen.

Reading the stories of the workers struggles planted the nascent seed pods of my journey to Liberalism, which flowered along the banks of the Euphrates 10 years later, and away from anti-human conservative pathology.

Of course, the Punk Ass Bitch Conservatives over at She Who Shall not be Named 2's site have only evil things to say about a World War II veteran and staunch defender of the poor and exploited, who fought passionately for Civil Rights and stood courageously against the Vietnam War. They (still) hate Zinn because he stood against warfare and oppression, and Conservatives love to oppress and kill people.

Democracy Now has a fitting Tribute to Howard Zinn and the Real News Network often interviewed Zinn because of his great moral integrity and they way he fundamentally changed the way We the People should view our deference to authority and our acceptance of the Outrage of War.
