		<description>&lt;p&gt;There just aren’t enough monstrous, privileged assholes who also happen to be black. There are some, just not enough to make them look like anything but flyspecks when tossed into the mass of Republican delegates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also worth noting, the Red states look an awful lot like the slavery-supporting states about the time of the Civil War. Their support for corporate dictatorship seems meet to make slaves of all of us who are not born wealthy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I watched the convention last night and my comment to my wife was, “It looks like an Amway convention from Hell.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Amway convention would have more energy and optimism and a lot less hate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Probably the one positive thing J. Edgar Hoover did was make it possible for every other cross-dresser in the world to feel pretty, although Cheney might be pushing the envelope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heh. Maybe I’m a little sick, but I think I’d pay good money to see it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The “Whites Only” phenomena of the RNC has jumped out at me more than anything actually said by any one speaker, or the appearance of any personality the party has offered up. I know from experience, having lived in Los Angeles for thirty years, that people of color and non- white ethnicities are very sensitive when they are left out of the mix of something as large as a major party convention in a presidential election year. I hope they watched the DNC and are watching the RNC and making the stark comparison.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;1,754 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Citizen Blue Texan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Great post and the racial homogeneity of the fascist GOP has long been taken for granted by those with 3 er more functionin’ brain cellz (I get in at the threshold a that group)…but your thesis was demonstrated in full color (so ta speak) for those of us in the march on Monday.  And not only were the majority of the delegates and convention participants that we saw white as a KKK sheet, but they appeared ta be mostly over 60 years of age, boast Dixie accents and were scared ta death of goin outside without a police escort.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My 20 year old daughter and I had an experience at about 10AM Monday mornin’ that really advances yer thesis.  We were walkin from the Capitol Hill gatherin spot to the cathedral jest a couple a blocks away and passed a group of about 50, white haired and peroxide blond fascist counter demonstrators.  These folks were dressed in red, white and blue T-shirts and were equally divided between over 60 males and females. My daughter who is most beautiful and blond (I dare ya ta make a dumb blond joke…she’ll tear ya a new one and leave ya in the street for the storm troopers) was wearin an Obama T-shirt. One of a gaggle of about 10 harpies called out to Emmy sayin “you should be ashamed of yourself young lady…wearin thet T-shirt”.  Well, I didn’t want my daughter ta get arrested fer vivisection on a public street so I said “she’s your worst nightmare…she’s blond, smart and thinks Barak is hot”.  I thought the old hen was gunna stroke out right there. Now that wasn’t the end of it, however…comin’ back we passed the same cluster of folks except they’d brought out their male champions.  One of the guys in the front of the group was wavin’ a sign that said “Support The Troops…Let them Win” or some such bullshit.  Now I couldn’t pass up that opportunity for dialogue at 10:30 in the mornin’ so I stopped in front of ‘im and asked ‘im if he had ever served in the military.  “yes, and I was proud to serve.”  So I asked ‘im “I’m a “Nam vet, didja ever see a shot fired in anger?” And his reply is gunna stay with me ’til the devil gets my ashes, he said “no, I didn’t get the opportunity, I was stationed in Germany.”  Well, I spat back at ‘im ” You, sir, are a chicken hawk and you are full of shit”.  He turned a bright shade of purple and, as he was even older’n I and twice as fat, thought better of takin’ a swing at me, he jest backed up and said “have a nice day”…Classic!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we continued past the group, a clump of the old geezers were doin’ their exercises er some such and chantin’ “freedom is not free”… well jest in front of us was a brother talkin on a cell phone and I interrupted him and said “they’re talkin to ya…they’re sayin ‘freedom ain’t free”.  The brother smiled and said “They ain’t talkin’ ta ME, Brother”.  Oh my…I am convinced that irony is one a God’s little tricks on wingnuts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanx again for the post…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THIS IS THE LAST BATTLE AGAINST AMERICAN FASCISM!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m thinking more like black leather, heavy curtains, no daylight, tomb like atmosphere, plus sulphur and dry ice machine. And a Xtra-top-secret, classified-by-yours-truly file cabinet. but with what inside? Could be wrong though.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last month, the wingnuts freaked when Howard Dean called the GOP “the white party.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have to correct Howard Dean. It’s the white party of men with a sidedressing of overly madeup women with dolly doos re: Sarah Palin. ( An acquaintance of mine from TN always used that term “dolly doo” so scathingly.)&lt;br /&gt;
So I take it Sarah Palin was more lifelike the X*n*x fairy lovin Laura Bush?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
