Can somebody tell me what the difference is between this Palin rally and, say, a KKK rally? In both I see the same kind of random yelling, the same kind of hatred, the same kind of completely unsupportable points. I think this is the first rally clip I've caught that actually looks like it could potentially get violent though. Good job, nutwhack conservatives!
P.S.
I realize I'm picking on conservatives quite a lot in this blog lately, and I honestly don't mean to. If you find some liberal batshit crazy for me to comment on, please send it my way so I can give it the same treatment. I think conservatism tends to lead more toward this sort of nuttiness, liberals tend to get frothy about religion or conspiracy theories. I've already beat on atheists for a while and I suspect most of them are liberals. Still though, realize I'm picking on the people and their stupidity. I think their conservatism contributes to this sort of thing, yes. And I also think that more and more, the Republican Party is hammering on this sort of conservatism. But it is one type of conservative philosophy out of many, and I apologize to the others and share their undoubted sadness at being connected in any way with this idiocy.

WHat's the difference between a Palin Rally and a KKK Rally?
Several:
1. No Robes at Palin Rally
2. KKK rallies have catchier chants. I mean, come on -- "The only difference between Osama and Obama is the BS?" What the fuck kind of convoluted nonsequitur shit is THAT? At least make your racist bullshit catchy.
"Two four six eight, we don't wanna integrate!" Now THAT was catchy. (Saw that one on a civil rights documentary.)
The thing I don't get is where the screaming rage is coming from. Well, let me rephrase that, given the KKK comparison it should be obvious where I think it's coming from. But still.
Screaming rage?
1. He's a black guy (biracial actually, but that just pisses these people off more.)
2. Middle name is hussein (which indicates to them that he's a "damn furriner" or sumpin') Plus, a lot of these people still probably experience severe butt-hurt about Malcolm X and/or fear of Black Muslims. Probably got roughed up by Nation of Islam guys for using "the n-word' too many times or some shit.
I'm just kinda dismayed they didn't come right out and call him an "uppity nigger", like many of them so obviously wanted to. I mean, the dude with the "Little Hussein" puppet? That was a monkey wearing an Obama hat. How much more obvious can the subtext possibly be?
Even if you DON'T like the guy's policies, at this point he has to get in, or the U.S. will show itself to be a racist hellhole.
