Conservative America And Its Growing Racist Cancer!

“They Come to America“

“I spent three days living in the dirt on the Mexican-Arizona border, and there are more than people crossing the border who want to cut your lawn. There are people coming here who want to cut your throats,” filmmaker Dennis Lynch.

We have no evidence Lynch has any affiliation with the tea party. His movie and his comments related to the cutting of lawns and cutting of throats is particularly troublesome as it takes racism to the level of intellectual validation.  Lynch developed a film related to the US southern border and comments about cutting throats when we read more about killings for immigrants other than people from south of our southern border.  In fact, I heard today that most “illegal immigration” is from people who enter the country with legal visas and never leave the US. The visa holders are not predominately Hispanic. 

Tea Party National Anthem image!

The GOP is completely infested with racism that exceeds basic hatred of people based on skin color,  culture and ethnicity, the party has many officials who also practices outright misogyny.  The most vivid example, this week, require a brief visit the nation’s heartland: Illinois.

“Outrageous comments like those of Jim Allen are why we as Republicans fail to gain any respect from minority voters,” said Doug Ibendal, Editor-In-Chief of Republican News Watch. ”If officials in my party (the Republican Party) fail to understand how destructive it is to attack an impressive person like Erika Harold merely because she dares to challenge the good-old-boys, the GOP will remain a losing party for decades. This stay-in-the-back-of-the-bus mentality destroys any hope the Republican Party has for regaining momentum in future elections.” We will let Chairman Allen’s words speak for themselves.    —– Original Message —– From: Jim Allen <jimallen@consolidated.net> Sent: 06/18/13 10:59 PM To: dibendahl@mail.com Subject: 13th Congressional District reply Rodney Davis will win and the love child of the D.N.C. will be back in Shitcago by May of 2014 working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires.  The truth is Nancy Pelosi and the DEMOCRAT party want this seat. So they called RINO Timmy Johnson to be their pack mule and get little queen to run.  Ann Callis gets a free ride through a primary and Rodney Davis has a battle.  The little queen touts her abstinence and she won the crown because she got bullied in school,,,boohoo..kids are cruel, life sucks and you move on..Now, miss queen is being used like a street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS…These pimps want something they can’t get,,, the seat held by a conservative REPUBLICAN  Rodney Davis and Nancy Pelosi can’t stand it..  Little Queenie and Nancy Pelosi have so much in common but the one thing that stands out the most.. both are FORMER QUEENS, their crowns are tarnished and time has run out on the both of them.

It is being reported RNC Chair Priebus requested and received a resignation from the “woman-hating” racist. The ultimate and salient question is, “Do you really want to vote for the candidate who employed Allen?” The question should be expanded, “Do you really want to vote for a party that is so infested with overt racist and women hatters?” 

The next stop in our journey: progressive media coverage of conservatism gone rabid. 

The racist scourge of the American far right and obvious support from right-wing media and many conservative politicians is transforming the nation into a Neo-Jim Crow society.  While Jim Crow worked like apartheid to oppress black Americans, the Neo-oppressors will step-on people of all races (Other than white) Jewish people, Women and LGBT people.

You must watch the embedded segment of the Rachel Maddow Show. It is a bit long, but not one second is wasted off-topic from the central message. Actually, once Maddow introduces her guest, you have a good opportunity to move back to reading here. I am not sure the guest adds significant value to the segment.

Let’s continue our journey with Fox News.  Anyone who reads the TPI knows our position on Fox New (AKA FoxPEN: Fox Propaganda and Entertainment Network).

We have posted a link to a Daily Kos piece that more than details the Neo-Nazi English Defense League (EDL). Ollie Garkey, The Daily Kos,  sums up her/his reason for the well developed treatise as follows: “Here, I discuss the far-right in Britain, with hopes that by learning from mistakes made by the UK Establishment, we can prevent a similar rise here in the United States.” Find the treatise linked here. 

Neo-Nazi, White Nationalist, and Far-Right groups are attempting to capitalize on the event.

Fox News has recently had the Neo-Nazi EDL’s leader on its programs, and spoke in support of him.

The Garkey piece includes video and (Kilmeade’s radio)audio of Fox News propagandist Kilmeade and O’Reilly providing support for the EDL based on the horrid killing of a British soldier by deranged “so-called’ Jihadist. The two perpetrators are best described as insane murders, than your common low-life terrorist.  It would take a mind even more deranged than a suicide bomber to publicly stab and hack a person to death in the presence of bewildered crowds. If you can find a place in your mind to consider the killers of the innocent soldier other than the work of the insane, factor-in the killer’s actions to seek video cameras for babbling insane rhetoric.  We believe the two murderers were just that: insane killers. We cannot imagine Fox News hosts scurring to the soldier’s killing with implied support for a Neo-Nazis hate group.  The next stop is this week’s tea party event.

June 19, 2013 Te Party IRS Event (not well attended)

               

Let’s take-in an MSNBC Politics Nation segment focused the Tea Party with validating points (long made here on the TPI) it is a mere front for deep rooted conservative racism. 

Linked article.  The text of the article includes a link to a recent study (introduction only) related to the likelihood that tea party leaders (and implied money backers) are likely to harbor deep rooted racial hatred. 

The study published in Race and Social Problems indicates that Tea Party members are not necessarily any more racist than typical white Americans, but that the movement’s supporters are more likely to be, leading the researchers to conclude that, ”what the Tea Party means to its members and what it represents to the large public may, in fact, not be the same thing.”

We know the Koch Brothers are major financial supporters of the tea party. An important sidebar, I believe the Koch Brothers’ father was a co-founder of the John Birch Society. The article also includes the following.
