Truly the Ugliest Election Ever
By Anne Laurie July 9th, 2012
................................
Every president has been branded as an undercover non-native (Andrew Johnson was really an English immigrant, Tyler & Coolidge Canadian, Hoover born in China, LBJ in Mexico) and/or non-white (Jackson, Lincoln, Harding, Clinton) and/or a business failure (Cleveland, Grant, Truman, Bush II) of suspicious religious affiliation (Madison, both Rosenfelts, JFK). Every single one has been labelled some kind of sexual deviate (or at least deviate-curious) desperate to sell out his country to the rising global power of the moment (England, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, China).
But our communications technology & social-engineering skills have improved to the point where, in 2012, we have a magic-underwear-ing son of a Mexican immigrant whos spent his career playing elitist bankster games to hide the vast fortune hes made selling America and his inbred slack-jawed co-religionists out to the UN and the ChiComs, trying to steal the White House (back) from a Kenyan Muslim half-breed whos never had a real non-governmental job in his life, ever since his globe-trotting childhood introduced him to culinary, philosphical, and possibly sexual practices that decent Christian Heartlanders can barely imagine (without help from cable channels & the internet).
By 2016, well probably be able to download a Red or Blue TruGanda Facts-ion-aid dataset directly into our retinal implants, but the base script wont changeour opponent is a member of That Tribe We Hate, who eats unclean foodstuffs and sleeps with taboo partners while worshipping false gods and using more than his share of the common resources. All else is commentary.
President Obama is a very, very intelligent man and a consumate politician. He knew that his life and his history would provide an extra impetus to his enemies every lie, half-truth, and misinterpretation before he ever started campaigning, and we owe him respect for his choices as he goes forward. Im sure that the ugliness of his opponents and the general outline of their slurs surprise him no more than the fact that DC summers can be as brutal as Chicago winters. We need to rebut the rebuttable and counter lies with facts, but non-stop public whining about how people would rather hear exciting new narratives than boring old statistics is not helpful.

(1,068 posts)We need a bounty that will incentivise progressive citizens to derail Mitt Romney's campaign before the election. I propose a 10 to 20 million bounty paid for by organizations such as Soros and other Democratic committees to be awarded to the individual, or group of individuals, who facilitate and ultimately cause the destruction of his campaign to ensure that Barack Obama's reelection is not stolen by the republicanist vote stealing machines.
PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT ADVOCATING ANYTHING but the derailment of his campaign. ANY action which results in criminal physical violence should BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, and I want to make that emphatically clear.
BUT... we need to take him down like we took down Herman Cain, which is optimal. We should be able to come up with federal RICO charges involving his offshore finances, and 10 to 20 million is a BARGAIN compared to trying to overturn all the fraudulent voting thefts that the GOP has routinely instigated since Bush stole Florida in 2000, and Ohio in 2004. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.
