The Revolution WAS Televised. Nobody Showed Up.

Sorry, Gil Scott-Heron.  There were plenty of TV cameras; just no people.

Suppose they gave a massive tea party and nobody came.

Well, to be fair, a few people actually did show up for yesterday's Operation American Spring in Washington, D.C. It just wasn't quite the 30 million people they were expecting.   And they didn't accomplish their mission:  that Kenyan Muslim Conspirator is still in office.

The linked article has two photos of yesterday's sparse turnout.  Kinda sad.

Then again, these are the same geniuses that told us the War on Iraq would be a cakewalk, the war would be over in just a few weeks at the most, global oil prices would swoop to an all-time low, and grateful Iraqis would hail our soldiers as liberators and shower them with candy and flowers.

Yesterday's Operation American Spring actually did offer up a new Benhgazi explanation.  Or maybe it's not new; I haven't exactly been following the GOP's Benghazi orgy.

Wiley Drake, a pastor and talk radio host, has revealed:

“What caused Benghazi was a kidnapping gone awry.  Obama was going to kidnap Chris Stevens, and he got killed in the process. That’s what really happened, that’s the truth.”

I knew it! 

Mitt Romney: COMMUNIST

Fellow Freedom-Loving Americans, we can no longer blame Barack Hussein Obama for the death of our great nation. You won’t believe where the Kenyan Muslim got most of his ideas for socialized medicine.

Would you believe, Mitt Romney. That’s right, Mitt Mao Stalin Romney is the real culprit here.

In the early 1990s, the Heritage Foundation came up with the idea of requiring everybody to purchase health insurance. They liked this “market based” idea much better than the Nanny State approach of requiring employers to provide health coverage or — the worst possibility of all — having those dreaded government bureaucrats provide health insurance.

This “market oriented” individual mandate was the cornerstone of Republican counter-proposals to “Clinton Care” in 1993-94.

In 2004 the Governor of Massachusetts — that would be Mitt Romney — followed through with the Heritage Foundation’s advice. And in 2006 Governor Romney signed the law requiring Massachusetts residents to have health insurance.

The author of this article — Brad DeLong — says:

“Having conquered Massachusetts, RomneyCare is now the law of the land. But how did Republican RomneyCare become Democratic ObamaCare?”

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the rightwing talking heads to start asking these questions. That would require too much (“ugh!”) thinking for their dimwitted listeners.

And now for today’s Bible passage: “Death to all Democrats who voted for health care reform!!!”

Yes, the Far Right’s favorite minister is spewing again. These Holy words of wisdom came from Orange Country Pastor Wiley Drake. Wiley Drake has previously prayed for The Lord to kill President Obama.

Hallelujah! Feel the Love!!!
