Let’s point out a couple of things here. If you disagree with Republican policies, fine. But the racist trope really is tiresome. It was Southern Dems that opposed Johnson’s civil rights legislation, and they fought it vehemently, Robert Byrd prominent among them. I’m also tired of the Christian bashing among Dems. I go to an evangelical church in a small city and I’ll bet more than 90 percent of the congregation voted for Obama and consistently votes Democratic. Frank Rich is among the writers who pushes the stereotype that Republicans are knuckle dragging, racist Christians and for that he deserves criticism. It’s not just Republicans he’s trying to slam–his message is that if you are a Christian (I mean one who actually believes all that divinity of Christ stuff, and please note that he never critices any other form of religious belief), then you are a moron. His ideas are very fashionable and very hateful. It’s just that his particular form of bigotry is acceptable to the educated class. His leaden prose style is just one more thing to dislike about him.

Interesting. We just wrote a piece about Frank Rich today. For my money, he’s one of the smartest guys working in media. One might argue, given the fever pitch of this dialogue, that Rich is anything but irrelevant: http://bit.ly/Owzb.

If ever there were a true waste of time on planet earth, saving Frank Rich from anything would be it. Had the Right been half as evil as he has claimed, Frank Rich would not be alive to write about it. As the old saying goes, Frank Rich isn’t worth the powder to blow him up.

If one can stomach reading anything written in the New York Times, their articles reveal how the enemy of the U.S., of freedom, and of truth think.

Know thine enemy!

The bottom line is this. People will say and do anything to enrich themselves. The NYT pays Rich to spout off his vitrol against the enemies of the NYT, i.e., anyone who is not a Communist sympathizer and hater of truth, common sense, our Constitution, the rule of law, morality, character, responsibility and of course, Christianity and Israel.

Unfortunately there is no saving liberals, they are too far gone. Unmoored, uprooted, they have no standards, no belief system other than some vague notion (Obama’s favorite word) about equality of outcomes. Ah yes, Chairman Sero believes it’s better to “spread wealth around” so every body has more. Let’s see. the last time this was tried with a vengeance, the government took from the producers and gave to the non-producers and got what? Oh yes, the USSR, a country run by thugs, for thugs which eventually imploded from all the corruption and misallocation of resources. Great system that socialism. I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we send Obama and all his enablers in the media over to Russia and see if they can’t get that country back on track. They might be able to find a few left over commies to work with them. At leas we’d be rid of these foolish sophomores.

‘objecting to ryan’s characterization as “A tiny racist party of fat, white, balding A**holes?”’

Laughing at it is more like it. The supporters of the party that defended slavery, implemented Jim Crow and issued Executive Order 9066 are accusing the opposition party of being racist?

Too funny.

As for Rich, Frank Rich is a liar, a hypocrite and a Goebbels-like propagandist for a political party who’s members and supporters lie somewhere between maggot and slime mold on the evolutionary ladder.

Rich, and the liberal Democrat scum he whores for, are the sort of folks who one day incinerate 100,000 innocent civilians at Tokyo or Hiroshima, and the next day squeal in faux-outrage, like the pigs that they are, when some terrorists are roughed up in Gitmo. If a Dem president burns 100,000 innocent people alive, he’s a great president and a nobler defender of human rights, but if a Republican president has some terrorist murderers slapped around, it’s a terrible atrocity, and he’s a war criminal.

The bottom line is is that liberal Dems would betray their country, serve as propagandists for America’s enemies (as Rich did, during the eight years of Bush II’s presidency) or sell their mother’s souls to gain political power, and their ratlike followers would do the same, if someone waved a welfare check under their noses.

Do I hate Frank Rich, lil’ Barry O and the party they’re associated with?

Damn straight, I hate them.

Don’t like the fact that I loathe Democrats and their mouthpieces in the media?

Too bad, so sad. Deal with it.

Vinny Boombots:

“Bush put us in such a deep depression enriching Big Oil and Haliburton, Obama is forced to spend trillions to get us out of it. This depression is all Bush’s fault. Stop trying to change history.”

Your appalling economic ignorance would be comical, if it weren’t so pathetic.You might want to consider suing your former “educators” ASAP, for breach of contract.Useful idiots can only be useful to other idiots.

You Demonrat slime are irrelevant. The DNC has exploded and what remains is a hard kernel of queer racist reactionaries. You are losers. You are stupid. You are anti-Christian dope smoking-freaks who believe OsamaHusseinIslamObama will let you live in his big house after you die as long as you keep the white man down. Superstitious fools and hypocrites is what you are.

You Demonrats are the jokers. A queer racist party of fat, libtard, balding A**holes who wrecked the country and the army. No one gives a crap what you think now. WHY, BECAUSE YOU RIGGED THE ELECTION!
