Mike Malloy reads an email about Gabrielle Giffords Assassination Attempt

In the days after the Arizona tragedy, Mike Malloy reads an email from Taradacktyl from RepublicanDirtyTricks.com concerning the Republican inability to take responsibility for the consequences of the toxic political climate they actively cultivate.

If you thought that the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords, the murder of 5 other and the wounding of 14 attending a "Congress on Your Corner" event in Arizona would give right-wing hate peddlers a moment of reflection, then think again.

With the successful right wing revision of Textbooks fresh under their belts, right wingers are wasting no time re-writing the events of last weekend by frantically attempting to excuse their violent hate rhetoric and branding Jared Loughner as a "left wing radical" while simultaneously propagating the old "Hitler was a Liberal" fallacy -- despite the fact much of the neo-conservative playbook is taken directly from the most fundamental tenets of fascism. The inconvenient truth for right wingers is that Nazism was characterized by extreme nationalism, military domination, xenophobia, authoritarian leadership, and opposition to liberalism... in other words, an undeniably far-right political ideology that was vociferously supported by many of Hitler's American Capitalist contemporaries whose pro-corporate at-any-cost agenda bears an irrefutable resemblance to today's right wing.

Text follows:

Sometimes the stress of having to share the same air as people who put cross hair images on a graphical hit list targeting members of Congress and play it off like they were surveyor marks after an unbalanced loon brings the vision to fruition, is just too much to bear.




When Palin released her statement saying the gun sites were now surveyor marks- knowing that she was clearly lying and had, at one time, proudly tweeted about her "bullseye" map, I had to say to myself, "does this woman think everyone is an idiot?"

Then I remembered... oh right... thinking of yourself as superior and everyone else as idiots is a core character trait of a Malignant Narcissistic Sociopath...which Sarah Palin clearly is.




Frankly, I think the new Right wing motto needs to be "Don't retreat -- Rewrite!" because they don't waste a moment trying to mold their lies into some version of reality to serve their ideological agenda.

I get it, though. They HAVE to rely on spin and lies. You can't win a legislative debate by using facts if you're sole mission is to defend corporate interests manipulating the game in an inherently corrupt system. You have to use paranoia -- you have to make up things about "death panels" and play semantic games labeling every initiative that seeks to tamp down corporate power as "job killing" and "freedom hating"... it matters not that the rhetoric is based in outright fiction... but once they throw those hooks in the water, they shouldn't be surprised if some nutter takes the bait.

They don't have the moral high ground, so they need to try and grab the narrative. Besides furiously trying to label Jared Loughner as a left-wing radical, Republicans aren't missing the opportunity to propagate the disingenuous "Hilter was a liberal" meme -- citing "Mein Kampf" on Loughner's reading list as if it was a liberal tome. They know that all they have to do is say it, and some people will believe it. Meanwhile, they conveniently neglected to mention Ayn Rand's "We The Living" made the list because it doesn't fit their misleading agenda.

The pattern is clear: "The Party of Personal Responsibility" only sticks to that motto when trying to deny children a school lunch program. When it comes to taking "Personal Responsibility" for stoking fear and inciting unbalanced people to commit acts of violence....FORGET IT!

So while NORMAL AMERICA calls for soul searching and civility in our discourse - the Right Wing monsters are still busy SPINNING US ALL AROUND for the sake of their dead-ender ideology.




The hate, the lies and the spin go on but the fact remains... Right Wingers are liars, Palin is a disgrace and all her apologists are all just as culpable for the disasters they create.

Thanks for letting me share. I'm serious about the stress...
Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine a world without Republicans... ahhhhhhh... the bittersweet knowing how much better off humanity, the animal kingdom, and Mother Earth herself would be without Republican anchors dragging us all down... appealing to the worst aspects of the human condition to sustain themselves¬... contributing nothing...¬and leaving their mark of pain, ignorance, divisiveness and death on everything they touch. Hopefully, one day, humanity will evolve... and Republican¬s will once and for all be left on the dung heap of history where all greed-centered, ignorance-¬promoting, divisive, collection of ghouls eventually wind up.

@Texfield91 You can keep trying the no true scotsman fallacy, but the nations run by der Fuhrer and il Duce were right wing dictatorships and had capitalist, or corporatist, economies where wealth was more concentrated in the hands of the few and labor power was eradicated. Same for their puppet states. You're too much of a neophyte to try and contend on this issue. Jonah Goldberg and John J. Ray get rich off of lemmings like yourself, champ. You really make this way to damn easy for me.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 The rewriting of history is done by the David Barton's of the world. The fascist nations had a capitalist economy and the wealthy industrialist enjoyed the product of slave labor. They don't teach about this history in the public school system by the way. You on the other hand are the product of the top down right wing idiocracy that dominates too many parts of America. I wouldn't even think to blame the PS system on your ignorance. Just wouldn't be fair to them.

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe whatever, man. believe what you want to believe. nothing in Nazi Germany resembled capitalism. it's the left that likes to rewrite history to fit its agenda. sadly, you're just another casualty of the public school system

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Mass scale privatization had taken place. State industries were "reprivatized" such as: mining, steel, railways, banking, public utilites, etc. The autobahn is an example of a state sector industry, but the economy is largely capitalist. Again, leave history to those of us who can differentiate literature, tract, and text. You're clearly not well versed based on your cursory comments. Its cute how tou pick up tidbits thinking you know something, typical of the right.

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe Hahaha, no, my friend, every aspect of labor and industry was controlled by the Nazi state. take the automobile industry for example: the Volkswagen ( the "People's Car) was a state made vehicle. Trust me, there's a difference between literature and an actual HISTORY book. LOL that's cute though, pretending you're an expert on history.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Failed diversion, little man. You still know nothing about this time period.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Nope, private industry went along with the state because expansionism would reap more profits than they had made in the past. The means of production and profits were still controlled by the private sector. The statist agenda meant would translate to private benefit. Trust me son, I've studied more literature on this history than you could imagine. Stick to right wing la la land and leave history to the pros

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe yes, im sure NOTHING gets past you. Except facts, of couse, but other than that, you're as sturdy as the Hoover Dam

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe And you heard "profit" and immediatly wanted to put it into a welfare check

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe it's hardly meaningless because the nazi government took control of industry in Germany. You're right, they did use slogans to win the masses, but the economy and the means of production were both controlled by the German government.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Sorry champ, but for those of us who know this part of history in detail aren't fooled by right wing revisionism.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Ahh taken from a meaningless propaganda rag meant to gain support from the working class and recognized by historians as false rhetoric.

"Socialistic" slogans and attacks on "capitalism" were necessary to win the masses. He at least regarded them as a means to power, not as a program, whatever the Strasser brothers might believe. On February 18, 1930, the Dresden Gauleiter wrote to the Weimar factory-manager Fritsche :

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 Poor right winger, he heard "common good" and then his brain shut down.

[DaHonestAbe]

@Texfield91 I'll take you to school when I'm not drunk. Be prepared until then.

[Texfield91]

@Texfield91 the German Labour Front being a UNION, i might add

[Texfield91]

@DaHonestAbe The Nazis were socialists:

"Adolf Hitler created National Socialism, and placed the common good above the individual good.......So that this lesson that made the German Worker the supporter of the State is never lost, the National Socialist Work Service is careful to see that every man who before worked for his own profit now must use his creative hands for the profit of the people."

-Robert Ley, head of the German Labour Front, 1936.

or is that historical illiteracy too?

[Brogel]

I would buy an audio book read by Mike Malloy.

[flyoverjoe]

@taradacktyl I urge you to read A book on economics, sir.

[taradacktyl]

@KiloByte69 Actually, "neo-Liberal" is the term that describes so-called "free-market" policies of deregulation and privatization that CONS cling to like they cling to failure. Using that term to describe people who hold the exact opposite of those views reveals that you - like all CON dupes - don't know what the Hell you are talking about... but rather flap your gums, blind to your own stunning ignorance. Go Galt already and move to the Libertarian paradise of Somalia.

[KiloByte69]

Hah you people are nothing but a bunch of neoliberal lunatics.  Just move to Canada, they'd love to have you airheads.

[claudelebel55]

Excellent commentary.

[DaHonestAbe]

"Hitler was a liberal."

Only a historically illiterate, brain dead right winger could believe that garbage.

the pseudo GOP inhales sawdust all day long into their skulls from the wrongwing blow smoke up yoe back door Party. { airheads snort sawdust through their back door }

[ed1552]

Well said; however, what the reader forgot to say is what he read can be applied to the other side too - - when are we going to learned to think for ourselves and deal with facts and not what politicians tell us on both sides which only, in most cases, serve their end - - not ours.

[ChuckyJesus666]

Tara, I posted this on Facebook....excellent piece!
