GOP's Mob

"Married to the Mob," by Steven Wells, published on October 17, 2008 in the Philadelphia Weekly:

The last weeks of the campaign reveal the GOP's rotting soul.

A new sport hits America—nelly baiting. It involves walking up to a McCain/Palin supporter with a video camera and pressing ”record”. The result is a guaranteed instant real–life horror documentary, several fine examples of which now litter the Internet.

In the future these videos will be prized historical documents. They mark the exact moment the Republican Party ceased being the most powerful, sophisticated and successful political organization in world history—and instead became a batshit insane racist lynch mob.

Recent research indicates that the more impotent a person feels, the more likely they are to believe in ”magical thinking”.

The crowds at McCain/Palin rallies are proof that the utterly impotent—the broke–ass, credit squeezed, mortgage defaulting, 401(k)–raped, Wal–Mart–waged losers desperately searching for reasons to a) believe that George Bush hasn’t totally screwed them over seven ways to Sunday and b) not to vote for the black guy—will believe absolutely anything.

So the news from the rancid guts of the GOP—freshly fed by Palin and McCain’s ooga–booga speeches— is that Obama is a ”scary”, mysterious, black, Arab, communist, Marxist, PLO–supporting, Hamas–backed, secret ”Muslim” ”faggot” ”one man terror cell” who ”supports terrorism” (because ”it’s in his bloodline”) and is single–handedly responsible for the ongoing collapse of Western capitalism. And who will—if elected—”make us speak Muslim.”

And that Democrats need to get jobs, stop being ”Jews” and ”European socialists” and ”commie faggots” and ”socialist swine”, and to get back to Russia and stop murdering babies and die. Pretty much in that order.

For anyone with a brain and/or a soul—by which I mean everybody on the planet hoping for an Obama victory—these YouTube videos are glorious evidence of what lies at the heart of the GOP—nasty, snarling, finger–sniffing, pin–prick pupiled, reptile brain–stem fascism.
