America's wingnuts have proved in the wake of the killing of
Mike Brown that minorities will have no justice under repugican
governance.…
Kevin Sorbo, not content to hate on atheists, has added blacks to his list by claiming that the protesters in Ferguson, MO, are “animals” and “losers.”
TV’s Hercules is starting to sound like Joe the Plumber, or Ted Nugent. And America, as you can see from the photo above, is starting to look like an American run by Ted Nugent.
Pictures, as they say, are worth a thousand words.
In my thousand words then, I shall try to go deeper than this AP photo,
or to at least provide some useful context.
“Ferguson riots have very little to do with the
shooting of the young man. It’s an excuse to be the losers these animals
truly are,” Sorbo wrote on Facebook, and that is certainly how the
police sniper above seems to feel.
Sorbo’s Facebook post that has since been removed and replaced by an ” apology.”
The police have yet to apologize.
What Sorbo originally wrote was,
It is a tipping point
to frustration built up over years of not trying, but blaming everyone
else. The Man, for their failures. It’s always someone else’s fault when
you give up.
That sounds like the House of Representatives to me. Sorbo has described John Boehner to a tee.
Sorbo said that the death of Mike Brown should serve
as a “reminder to the African Americans that their president they voted
in has only made things worse for them, not better.”
Their president. Not Sorbo’s.
And don’t get excited by his so-called apology. What he says is, “Yes. I am an idiot and do hold myself accountable for the way my post came off.”
Not what he felt, but how it came off. As apologies go, it’s not much of an apology. But then, what conservative apology is?
What Sorbo
told TMZ is that he was, like politicians, “taken out of context”:
Like politicians always
say, things are taken out of context,” he said. “Look, I’ve got plenty
of friends from all races and all religions and all colors and all
breeds. I’m hardly a racist.
Oh, I don’t know, I think the context was pretty
clear. Much more telling was his previous claim that the protesters in
Ferguson, MO, are “animals” and “losers.”
And for Sorbo, the media are “nothing more than agitators.”
The media promote chaos
to boost their pathetic ratings. We should shut them all off and watch
clips on the internet only when republished under fair use by a
conservative media watchdog group.”
Oh boy. Sorbo is pumping in the Kool Aid via IV.
He’s not even drinking it anymore. A conservative watch dog group.
Really. Why bother when we have Fox News editing clips 24/7 to make
Obama say things he never said.
We’ve already got Faux News’ expert assessment of Ferguson
from a member of their Medical A-Team, Keith Ablow, who says Ferguson
residents hate whites (heck, I’m white, and I’m beginning to hate me
some whites too) and are psychologically suspect.
Sorbo’s suggestion is like suggesting we ask Joseph
Goebbels to tell us about the jews. Of course, that logic behind that no
doubt sounds perfectly reasonable to wingnuts, who love to ask the
people responsible for America’s debacle in Iraq and Afghanistan to
tell us how to solve the problems they created.
This is all disgusting.
Is it less disgusting than Ben Carson’s claim that it wasn’t the police who killed Mike Brown, but political correctness
and the young man’s lack of a father figure? Carson, one of the repugican cabal’s
token blacks, wants the “agitators” and “criminals” in Ferguson
punished, saying they need to “teach [their] children to respect
authority.”
This is pretty much like Ted Nugent’s Wing Nut Daily piece blaming liberalism for the death of Mike Brown, not wingnut fueled racism, like his own. If President Obama is a sub-human mongrel to Nugent, what are the folks of Ferguson?
It’s a shame Kevin Sorbo again fails to see the extent to which Nugent’s column is an example of “blaming everyone else.”
Like Laura Ingraham, Carson
praised Cliven Bundy and his gang of rebels.
At that time, with a wealthy white man involved, it was important to
“stand up against the government” and martial law was a sign of
government oppression.
Carson also got with Steve Malzberg of Newsmax to compare the Ferguson protestors with Hamas.
Crazy as it sounds to compare the people of Ferguson to Hamas, Carson
told Malzberg that “political correctness is in the process of
destroying this nation.”
So no, Kevin Sorbo is far from alone in demonizing
the people of Ferguson, MO, who have lost not only some of their numbers
to police bullets, but even their status as human beings. They have
become not frustrated people dealing with rampant racism and oppression,
but terrorists.
America’s wingnuts have proved in the wake of
the killing of Mike Brown that minorities will have no justice under repugican governance. They can expect to be controlled, however, and
taught authority via tear gas and bullet.
Token blacks like the Quisling Ben Carson will cheer them on.
In repugican America, white folks are the real
victims, particularly the fake-christian variety, and every time wingnut fueled hate results in another victim, repugicans know who
to blame: liberals and the black victims themselves, who, we are told,
are literally begging for the police to shoot them.
The sad truth is that repugicans could shoot Mike
Brown, so in a collective sense, they did. They can’t shoot President
Obama, though they’d like to, so they’ll settle for tearing America
apart around him, suing him, impeaching him, and throwing him in prison where they have proven they think black men belong.
The repugicans are outraged that in the wake of these egregious examples of racism that blacks in Ferguson are registering to vote,
but the real impetus to vote comes not from liberals, but from the repugicans themselves, who have made the most compelling argument
possible that they cannot be trusted to govern America.
