This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the “liberal media” lie. This blog is on temporary hiatus because of my job and thin-skinned Republicans.

A picture is worth a thousand words
With apologies to mod rocker Rod Stewart, but it is true that “Every picture tells a story, don’t it?”
This offensive and disgusting billboard in downtown Mason City, Iowa was paid for something called the “North Iowa Tea Party.” It depicts the President of the United States with photographs of Nazi leader Hitler and communist leader Lenin beneath the labels "Democrat Socialism," "National Socialism," and "Marxist Socialism."
It was roundly criticized, even by fellow teabaggers. The billboard was quickly taken down today because of that criticism, but not before the American people got a good glimpse of what the teabaggers are really like. They are beginning to realize how racist and hateful the fringe teabaggers really are.

I've been expecting this, although I can only wonder what took you so long. I also knew that you'd paint with a broad brush and include all Tea Party people with this.
You're sort of at odds with yourself here because you even admit that others in the Tea Party said that it was offensive, just before you accuse all in the Tea Party as racists.
The intent of this billboard (which you'd know if you read the entire story, or if you were an honest person) was to show off Obama's socialism. Those that paid for the billboard just went too far with their enthusiasm. Obama has proven himself a socialist, but thus far, he has not targeted a particular race for extinction as Hitler did with the Jews.
It is, however, coming out that Obama is more of a racist than we thought. We're now seeing the proof of voter fraud by Obama and his cronies with the stunts that were pulled during the primaries against Hillary Clinton. Clinton tried to make it public, but the press wouldn't investigate and wouldn't report on it. Now it's coming out due to a report by Gigi Gaston, a Democrat activist who set out to prove the accusations wrong but ended up with a documentary proving the accusations correct.
This is further exhibited by the Philadelphia incident with the New Black Panther party who intimidated people away from the pollsl if they weren't voting for Obama. The Justice Department is now accused of ordering that no investigations are to take place where the victim is white and the perpertrator is black.
Naturally, you'll deny this, and claim it's a lone conservative activist and refer back to it being Bush's fault, but the facts are now being broadcast and printed on by various sources although the Socialist Democrat sympathizers in the liberal press is ignoring it, per usual. But they'll come around when even more facts come out. Probably after the slaughter that the socialist Democrats face in November.
How could you be expecting it, anonymous coward; it was only up a few days before they took it down. Teabaggers are racist, the majority of them, and the rest are Republicans. It’s not that tea baggers are upset about it, it’s more the fact that the rest of the country is seeing how extreme and offensive they really are.
“The intent of this billboard was to show off Obama's socialism?“ That’s pure bullshit, anonymous coward. Hitler is not a socialist, and neither is President Obama.
More lies from the anonymous coward. What else is new. I knew you would bring up the false Black Panther smear. What took you so long, anonymous coward? Everybody knows what a liar you are. This Black Panther story is just a smear job by a conservative activist.
Once again, anonymous coward, there is no such thing as a Socialist Democrat in the United States, and that is just a false, Republican smear. There is also no such thing as the “liberal press.” The mainstream media is conservative; they are as liberal as the corporations that own them. The rightwing press, led by faux “news” is spinning out of control to try and make this something it isn’t, but it’s failing.
Again, anonymous coward, I’m still waiting for you to back up your outrageous lie that we were “nearly shoulder to shoulder once.”
For someone who claims he doesn't read the right wing blogs or follow the right wing media you do know the talking points very well..
If you got beef with the non prosecution Father of the best burger flipper in Michigan take it up with the Bush DOJ.. And since that was a Democratic majority district you cons should want someone to interfere with people voting.
And these tea party rallies give racist an chance to scream and whine about having a black guy as president..
