I don’t want to make a big deal over every bigoted jerk in the country that does something overtly racist, but it’s sad to see how unapologetic some of these people are. And not all of them are just random citizens, some of them are elected officials:
Rep. Michelle Bachmann is nuts. She is seriously deranged. I watched a program on PBS tonight about slavery in the 19th-Century. I’m thinking that the mere fact that I watched a program about slavery probably makes me anti-American in Rep. Bachmann’s book. And PBS must be filled with communist program directors. I saw Bay Buchanan on CNN earlier tonight defending Sarah Palin’s comments that some states are anti-American. Ms. Buchanan said that there absolutely are anti-American sectors of the country. Namely, colleges and universities that teach some of the unpleasant history of this country rather than constantly cheerleading in proper jingoistic fashion are anti-American. It’s a wonder Campbell Brown (Regis University, Denver, Colorado) didn’t slap Buchanan’s mouth.
The Republican Party no longer makes the slightest pretense to being an inclusive party and their dog-whistles are bringing more and more hounds. It’s even making people on the left crazy.
