Even Che Gets It


This is for all you Republican who hate out there. Won't it be terrible when we all look back on the Obama years and see how much he actually did to make the world a better place? Unlike how we are looking back on the Bush years and realizing that he really was a good president. (See what I did there dingus'?) Get over yourselves Republicans. The good guys won the election and finally your bigoted, anti-intellectualism can be relegated to the ash heap of history where it belongs.

Just check out this header recently seen on the 'fair and balanced' website FOX NATION. They aren't even trying to be subtle about their desire to spread fear and hate. A gun pointed at two black politicians? Give me a break. You can't tell me they couldn't have found another image to illustrate their point. This is NOT free speech. Its inciting violence. What bothers me the most is that we all know there are gun owners in the US who are unstable enough to be pushed into doing something terrible because of this rhetoric. I am surprised they didn't just paste a target over Obama's face and be done with it. NO GUN'S IN GOTHAM! Thanks to Field Negro for posting this story first.

Well said! There are plenty of good gun owners out there but the gun nuts are showier and scarier. My wife was part of the Million Mom March in 2000 for safer gun control laws and she got death threats just for saying she didn't want our son exposed to a world where people randomly collect automatic weapons!
