I have said, and I will continue to say, that America - the people, and the government - is the strongest in the world. The tactics that I've heard over the past few month echo quite a bit the sentiment of a party that rose in Germany back in the early 30's.

It is warming to me that those tactics, which worked so well back then, are being rejected by the media and the American people and those tactics are brought to light for the divisiveness and hatred they attempt to inspire.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

It certainly will.

If nothing else, I see people getting involved and caring more about this election than anyone before in my memory.

I think McCain knows he has lost. His side kick has not clue. She be happy being “Caribou Barbie” and a SNL ROCK STAR. Of course she was not picked for her brains, as is demonstrated by the latest interview with McCain having his puppy dog at his side for this next interview on NBC..

She scares the shit out of me, no kidding. I just hope that people don't get complaissant and think we've got it in the bag and so don't make the push to get out and vote en masse.

I was sitting at an intersection today behind a car bearing the bumper stickers:
Palin 2012
Mom for McCain
Women for McCain
A woman's place is in the house... the White House
We Can Do It! McCain * Palin (a la the We Can Do It poster of WWII)

I was very good and kept my brake on.

Ok, that last one is just truly nauseating.

Yeah, I see them all over in this thoroughly red state of Oklahoma. I keep my mouth shut a lot around here as I'm SUCH a well, pick your modifier Yankee-Liberal-Pagan, square peg in all the round holes around here.

Ever since Denise posted that vid about Olbie telling Shrub to "shut the hell up", I've been a steady watcher of Countdown on the web as I don't have cable and can't see the entire show.

KO is a TKO!

We don't either but I think I'm gonna have to start watching it more regularly.

Cool. Here's the link/shortcut I use.

And didja notice that when McCain "bailed" on Letterman, who his guest in the wings was? It was Olbie.

Yeah, I watched Letterman ream him for that. What a macaroon.

I've become an Olbermann fan myself. I will no longer allow dominionist crackpots to spew lies in my presence unrefuted. I will actively engage them rather than let it pass. They LIVE on the idea that they are an oppressed minority of "true Christians" and "true Americans", when they are the oppressors themselves. I increasingly not a minority. This kind of rabid, poisonous pedagogy must not be ignored because it's "obviously wrong". They've learned the big lie technique that Goebbels perfected in the 1930's. If a distortion or lie is big enough, no one will question it because how could anyone have the audacity to lie about something like that.

If I've committed a Godwin, then Mea Culpa. Dominionists sound more like fascists with each passing day.
