REPUBLICAN DEATH TRIP

Paul Krugman predicted this -- and it has come to pass.  He is right; there is no appeasing this minority that hates Obama, just as they hated the Clintons.  They are a vengeful,  paranoid breed that fears everything that isn't like themselves. Their greatest fear came true when a black man won the Presidency.  Racial bigotry now adds more fuel to their innate hatred and fear of Democrats/lib'rals.   These people fear that "their country" is being taken from them, as if the lily-whites owned it.  Their fear of change is so great, they follow lying rabble-rousing ranters like Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter, O'Reilly, and Malkin who are intent on pulling down Obama's presidency. The right wing is full of nutcase propagandists who create outlandish lies as easily as taking a breath--and then feed them to their "dittoheads," who haven't the sense they were born with. Many of these "dittoheads" are so dangerously deluded, they have gone out and murdered innocent people, taking their direction from the hatred spewed out daily by the propagandists.  Blood is on the hands of these liars who lead the ignorant with their wild accusations. Their karma will one day catch up with them. In the meantime, it seems we must endure their vitriol until it culminates in some horrendous deed that cannot be undone. As a country, we have been there before and apparently the lessons have not yet been enough for us to learn from.

EXCERPT: President Obama is now facing the same kind of opposition that President Bill Clinton had to deal with: an enraged right that denies the legitimacy of his presidency, that eagerly seizes on every wild rumor manufactured by the right-wing media complex.This opposition cannot be appeased. Some pundits claim that Mr. Obama has polarized the country by following too liberal an agenda. But the truth is that the attacks on the president have no relationship to anything he is actually doing or proposing.
