Birthers Vindicated! Barack Obama does not have the proper Bloodline to be President

"He was hip, he can dance, he can sing" - Republican Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, who while "struggling" on his $174,000 congressional salary, found time to explain why Young people voted for President Obama. I'm sure Duffy meant to say 'There goes Obama shuckin' and jivin' again!'
Right-Wingers firmly believe that "white" people elected President Obama and that if they can flame enough racial tensions "white" people will choose not to re-elect him.
"He’s our first African-American president. The country voted for him because of that. It made us feel good about [our]self," Republican Joe Walsh, worst Representative in Congress, told an Illinois Town Hall, the accepted dogma amongst right-wing bigots.
Birtherism is the crude form of this attack. Of course, Birthers attempted to gussy-up their rank bigotry with "scientific" analysis of the LFBC. However, since the wretches started with premise Barack Obama wasn't born in America no amount of data will dissuade them from their beliefs and all information must confirm their preconceived conclusion.

But, now back for Round 2 is Dinesh D'Souza, the reactionary dominionist, who wrote The Roots of Obama's Rage, a piece of conservative bilge designed to allow the more sophisticated right-wing bigots to bemoan President Obama's "Kenyan anti-colonial" attitude, as the viciously racist Newt Gingrich did upon the books' release.

Back in 2010, in my post Teabaggers Money to Be Had, I wrote:
Having written that Barack Obama is ruled by the african muslim ghost of his dead father to overthrow and kill whitey, Dinesh D'Souza is now making the rounds on Toxic Right Wing Radio to pimp his hoo hoo hoo chuckle chuckle chuckle hilariously titled "Roots" book. Glenn Beck had him on and somberly observed D'Souza's pulled straight from his ass article isn't "theory", "it's fact, just fact".

But, Glenn Beck, and the rest of the Conservative scum are receiving their orders from the Wealthy who want Republicans back into power so they can continue their unprecedented theft of Trillions from America. It's not a coincidence D'Souza's article appears in Forbes magazine.

Of course, I find it hilarious that the two Right Wing Champions of Barack Obama isn't American are Soviet Born and Raised Orly Taitz and a gentleman named Dinseh D'Souza.
Well, Joe Ricketts, owner of the Chicago Cubs and huge fan of having Rahm Emmanuel and the Government force Illinois residents to fork over $300 million dollars to fix his family's baseball stadium, declared, "Our Republic is under assault from our government," is part of a wealthy cadre of Plutocrats who are producing a movie based on D'Souzas work.

"Obama has a dream, a dream from his father, the sins of colonialism be set right and America be downsized."
Obama is the secret Kenyan, Marxist, Muslim bred and trained for One Purpose! To destroy America from within!

It's the highfalutin' form of Birtherism. He doesn't possess the Sangreal of the Founding Fathers. His blood is not pure. His blood is of those who Hate America and do not genuflect before American Exceptionalism.

Mitt Romney during his interview with conservative fluffer Mark Halperin, played this sinister bloodline meme,
"My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state.  Those experiences in totality have given me an understanding of how America works..."
Romney has the proper bloodline. He was born in the Purple. His education (shhh don't say Harvard) and pedigree are of The Right Stuff.

Personally, I don't think this is a winning strategy although it subtle and clever. I don't believe it will sway people to voting against Little Nikita Barack. But, from my perspective it appears to have no downside. We shall all see if the millennials are swayed by this cheap bigoted garbage to overthrow the Usurper and install Dauphin Willard Mitt, the Duke of Bain, House of Romney into his birthright.

Ahhhh ah ah ah! Birtherism Can Never Die!

It is Here to Stay!

The Birthers are clear evidence that a large segment which supports the Republican Party are Racists.
Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi in Georgia has ruled that President Obama must appear in court and prove himself American. On Friday, 01/20/12, Judge Malihi denied a motion for dismissal of a subpoena that requires the President to attend. The hearing is set for Thursday.
This further illustrates that Right-Wingers see what they want to see. It has nothing to do with Obama's policies. It has everything to do with the color of his skin. Prove Yourself.

When the obviously Fake Kenyan Birth Certificate was posted online in 2009. Soviet-born Birther Madam Orly Taitz, World Net Daily and the Birthers declared Victory!

Even after President Obama shamed the right-wing bigots and those who were happily riding the racist wave to anti-Obama by asking the State of Hawaii to release the Long Form Birth Certificate. Joseph Farrah, of World Net Daily, declared, "How long will it take to see him frog-marched down Pennsylvania Avenue?" Farrah wants the President of the United States frog-marched because he is convinced Obama wasn't born in the United States. And what is evidence compared to Farrah's beliefs?

Orly Taitz the Birther Madam is Soviet. Righties have claimed for decades to be the Party that's tough on Communism and yet, here comes a woman with a conspiracy they want to believe and so a vast majority of them are believe what a KGB Agent says about the President of the United States.

It's about Right-Wingers want to believe. Actual facts and evidence will never break through the Birther or Conservative Alternate Reality.

Mike Huckabee is very, very very Birther-Curious. Huckabee is a big figure in the Republican Party and, of course is paid by Faux News, but when he's not busy pardoning cop killers Huckabee has made multiple declarative statements that he believes Obama is a foreigner. Huckabee's latest lie came about when he rallied to defend the Poor Little Rich Vulture Mitt Romney. Huckabee's advice to Romney was to release his tax returns, "when Barack Obama releases his college transcripts and the copy of his admission records to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student.” President Obama got aid as a Foreign Student! But, while this lie was begun via a 'Did ya hear about? Just passing this along' right-wing chain email it doesn't matter.

And how did Barack Obama get into Harvard and Columbia anyway? Birthers and Conservatives claim by Affirmative Action. Prove Yourself Obama!

The Right will never stop with the Republican Foreign Born monstrous birther lie because it assuages their souls and their base is comprised of bigots and racists. That is the modern conservative today. The constant stream of lies is a valuable strategy for Republicans. Not only does it conform to what conservatives want to believe, even if all the lies are shown to be lies the alternate reality set up in conservative's minds will never be shaken. The Alternate Reality they want to believe is more important than any evidence.

Right-Wingers See What they Want to See

Clearly, this is not merely a problem amongst right-wingers, it's human nature to reach preconceived conclusions and then despite any evidence to the contrary cling to those conclusions. I choose righties because the conclusions they have reached concerning many problems facing the US these days are rooted in massive propaganda efforts by very powerful interests.

Conservatives are convinced gay people are self-loathing, atheists are angry, progressives are life-hating. For instance, here are the comments at my right-wing buddy Silverfiddle's blog Western Hero:
It's a revealing peek into the mind of a flamboyant self-loather.

why are Leftists so disgusting and such liars?

There is a strong undercurrent of self-loathing and life-hating in much of progressivism.

By using this to demonize Santorum aren't homosexuals kind of being self-hating? Why would homosexuals hate a frothy mix of lube? That is disgusting and shows how hateful liberal homosexual propagandists can be.
It's not projection. It's not a question of what conservatives believe about themselves. It's a question of what they want to believe about Liberals.

This level of belief about liberals helps support much of the right-wingers thought structure. Since, the GOP was founded by Abolitionists. Then, modern Republicans can't be racist and are the true champions of freedom. It's a great fallacious syllogism which right-wingers eat up.

Conservatives already know the Democrats *is* soft on defense. Ergo, Barack Obama is soft on Defense and mayhap with that name he loves America's enemies? So, it doesn't matter how many children Barack Obama orders incinerated via drone missile attacks or succeeding in getting Osama Bin Laden when George W. Bush failed for 8 years. Or as Senator Jim DeMint put the conservative drone-speak,
"It has been the most anti-business and I consider anti-American administration in my lifetime. Things that are just so anathema to the principles of freedom, and everything he has come up with centralizes more power in Washington, creates more socialist-style, collectivist policies. This president is doing something that’s so far out of the realm of anything Republicans ever did wrong, it’s hard to even imagine."
Nuuuuuuu, Ooooobama bad to business.... Uhhhhhh, Oooobama hate America....

It allows conservatives to similtaneously be outraged to the point of Impeachment towards Bill Clinton while blissfully ignoring or even embracing Newt Gingrich for the same transgressions.

Conservatives have preset ideas, nothing is going to dissaude them. Newt Gingrich is hardly a scion of "family values". He's been married 3 times. Each marriage has some bizarre and messy problems, numerous stories exist that Gingrich cheated mulitple time with numerous woman, but Gingrich is a Republican. So, look as the promenient Right-wingers leap to his defense:

"All it does, Sean, is incentivize conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it’s played so selectively by media, that their target, in this case Newt, he’s now going to soar even more,” Sarah Palin said. Palin is rather astute here, because Gingrich turned all questions about his rampant infieldity into an attack on The Lamestream Media and it worked.

Dennis Prager noted that Oskar Schindler was a married man with a mistress*.

Racist Limbuagh had to manueuver his ponderous infected asshole to Newt's defense while also employing the Punch-A-Hippie attack,
"Newt's a victim. We all are. Ours is the horniest generation. We were soldiers in the sex revolution. We were tempted by everything from Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice to Plato's retreat, Deep Throat to no fault divorce. Many of us paid the ultimate price."
But, the pièce de résistance has to go to Keith Ablow, employee of Faux News. Ablow's defense of Newt is sublime,
When three women want to sign on for life with a man who is now running for president, I worry more about whether we'll be clamoring for a third Gingrich term, not whether we'll want to let him go after one.
Hussah! One Gingrich Term per Wife!

Unfortunately, what Liberals have to realize is arguing facts with right-wingers is irrelevant. This is far beyond righties blithely looking past Gingrich's infidelity (or Cain's, or Sanford's or Larry Craig). It's far beyond IOIYAR. It's about the human condition. Once a person reaches a conclusion it is very hard to unseat them. And the the Very Powerful people who control the Right-Wing have been spending massive amounts of time and money pumping their rubes full of propaganda. We can see now that it has worked. The Right has fully embraced an Alternate Reality.
*- Prager actually used Schindler as a defense of Herman Cain.

Conservative Fury! Senate Democrats to take away flavored Cigars

Democratic Senators, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut wrote FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg on Thursday urging her to ban flavored cigars. Brown joined by his Democratic Party colleagues Senators noted "these products pose a serious threat to public health" and "Flavored cigars are putting children's health at risk and increasing nicotine addiction and tobacco use among young people."
ROAR! You can pry my Hibiscus-Passion Fruit flavored cigarillo from my cold dead, nicotine stained fingers!
"Tobacco companies embody the adage ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,’" Senator Brown said in a statement. "From Joe Camel to tobacco candies and now flavored cigars, Big Tobacco is always trying to find new ways to hook young, impressionable customers—and those customers are our children.”

Faux News promoted this as more nanny-state regulation run wild and ran a story that The International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association authored a petition asking Congressmen, Senators and FDA officials to: Please don’t regulate premium cigars like cigarettes! Of course, No such petition to Congress would be complete without this type of language: And As an adult I want to make my own choices in life and not have a bureaucrat at the FDA making those choices for me.

Damn FDA bureaucrats! If I want to sell cigars soaked in formaldehyde shouldn't I have that choice?

People see what they what to see. Conservatives have created an alternate history for themselves with which they must view every issue as a left/right dichotomy.

It is incontrovertible that Tobacco Companies appeal to the youngest demographic possible, with the exception of those which cater to a different niche or audience. Thus what Senator Brown is saying is true "Big Tobacco" is always trying "to find new ways to hook young, impressionable customers". It's merely good business to get customers attracted to your product as soon as possible.

But what this really shows is those who are offended and up-in-arms over Nanny State Over Regulation have no idea what they are angry about, if they did they would know the main market for funky flavored 6-for-a-dollar gas station cigars are marijuana smokers. You see "dope-smoking criminals" remove the tobacco from the cigar, pack the now empty leaf with weed and have thus created a blunt.

So, if this regulation had been targeted against Hookah Lounges or Head Shops the reaction from Faux and it's bevy of conservative genuflecting sycophants would have been much different.

Right Wing Fabrication to grow the Alternate Conservative Reality

Conservatives have no shame in claiming liberals are evil, but what they do have problems with is actual evidence. Thus enter the age of Rupert Murdoch and the Fake News.

The names Andrew Breitbart, Dana Loesch, James O'Keefe are well known and synonymous with crafting a fake story built on playing to conservatives pre-conceived notions, video manipulation and punch-a-hippie narrative but what is genius about the Alternate Conservative Reality is that much faster than Twains observation about lies, modern conservative falsehood move at the Speed of Light.

Enter the two recent episodes:

A Google+ account under the name "Paul Krugmann" released a message after the East Coast earthquake, "People on twitter might be joking, but in all seriousness, we would see a bigger boost in spending and hence economic growth if the earthquake had done more damage."

This was immediately grasped by the Right Wing buffoons and retweeted, posted, facebooked and blogged.

The big problem was Paul Krugman didn't write it and the account is not his account. Over at Hotair, you have the comments winner with,
"I don’t really care if this moron said it because I know for a fact there are progressives out there who do actually think a good catastrophe would be good for the economy. Unless of course it is an oil spill in the gulf that kills birdies and makes The Messiah look bad."
One of the worst things I've ever read. First he starts off the statement truth doesn't matter to him because he has his conclusions and then rambles on to disprove himself by excepting the BP/Haliburton/Transocean casued Gulf Disaster.

But that is not enough to stop pasty faced, flabby assed chicken hawk Jonah Goldberg or the National Review Online or the Michelle Malkin's on the blogosphere. Their job is too immediately run with stories which make liberals look bad and if the story happens to be totally false, say a black male Obama supporter carved a letter B into a white girl's face because of her McCain bumper sticker, conservatives don't care because they aren't interested in facts only in ramping up the next story of liberal evil.

Andrew Breitbart decided to claim on his Biggovernment website that New Jersey Democrat Frank Lautenberg said we've got to eliminate the rich in a speech a week ago. His video presentation on his website isn't the uncut video but has big gaudy powerpoint graphics splayed across the screen like a hack's attempt at subliminal messaging (((Eliminate the Rich))) voop voop voop. The problem, of course, is when you listen to the speech Lautenberg actually said "eliminate the waste".

This doesn't matter to the likes of Mark Levin or Real Clear Politics or any of the hundreds of Conservative blogs which dutifully pick up the Breitbart fabrication add their "the libs masks are coming off", "liberals are evil stalinistas", "start with yourself commie" and go forth to further propagate the lie.

Because that is all they need. Conservatives have an internally consistent false narrative (liberal=evil) which they fervently believe unquestioningly. That False Narrative in their brains demands they twist ever situation to fit it and if they can not then just make it up.

Now, this is one of the fundamental problems with blogs and bloggers in general. The death of Newspapers and journalists have created an atmosphere in the web cloud wherein anyone thinks that by splashing a link to Matt Drudge or the Huffington Post and commenting about it they are doing journalism.

At best, this is a misunderstanding of primary source and secondary source reporting.

At worst, this is a shameless attempt to propagate a lie into internet truth and do as much damage with it prior to the truth being revealed. Unfortunately, the things conservatives know are lies and how to damage America.

Sure, enough it is the worst. Krugman's Google+ account was started by a Right Wing Punk Ass Bitch named Carlos Gaterol, who wanted to show through 'parody', "the many misguided beliefs that Paul Krugman holds, defends, and espouses on a daily basis." When you can't find the evidence to confirm your conclusions just make it up, Conservative Mantra.

It's not a new phenomenon of the Right to impersonate Liberals and Progressives, conservative punk ass bitch Tucker Carlson pretended to be Keith Olbermann and sent out emails to smaller news reporters, in an effort to manufacture a controversy.

Here is Media Matters list of the 10 worst Right Wing fabrications of 2010.
