GOP Hate Fest
Edited on Fri Nov-06-09 12:51 PM by dgibby
In light of the GOP hate fest,aka "press conference", held yesterday in DC, it is evident that the Republican leadership not only encourages the racist bigots who make up the Tea Parties and their base, they have joined them in their hateful rhetoric and ideology.

Please join me in urging the Southern Poverty Law Center in designating and tracking the GOP as a hate group. I've e-mailed them again today, but I'm only one person. Together, we can make a difference. It's way past time to take action against these hate mongers. Whoever said that "evil exists whenever good men do nothing" hit the nail squarely on the head.

I truly believe they won't be happy until Pres. Obama is out of the WH, and they don't care how he's removed. I, for one, am not willing to sit back silently and wait for something awful to happen.

2. I was astonished at the "cheerleading" format for these GOP lawmakers,
and didn't realize for a while that they were appearing before the crazy Teabaggers. This was not "leadership" in any sense of the word, but simply rabble rousing to a ready-made audience of racists and misanthropes.

6. You know what they say:
if you're not part of the solution, then you must be par of the problem. These so called "leaders" ARE the problem.
