"All Aboard!" Fox promtes Tea Party Express...again

While Fox News' tag line is "Fair and Balanced", they continue their right-wing slant. Since January, they have promoted their fight with President Obama , and continue to promote active protests against the government. Yet, while they have been called out by the White House as "not a news organization" they continue to isolate their coverage. This morning on Fox and Friends the promoted "Tea Party Express 2"

RNC racism on Facebook

While the Republican party has long faced criticisms of bigotry, they continue to deflect it with racist imagery. On the RNC's Facebook page ran for one week images of President Obama eating fried chicken with the caption reading "Miscegenation is a CRIME against American Values. Repeal Loving v. Virginia." As Raw Story points out, this on the heels of the controversial Louisiana Justice of the Peace denying an interracial couple seeking a marriage licence .

Also on their page was a picutre of Senator John Kerry in which he appears to have gun pointed at his head, This on the heels of Rep. Debbie Wassrman (D-Fl) Schultz had her initials used as the target a gun range where her opponents met for a fundraiser. Conservatives wonder why they are labeled as racists and fearmongers, yet do not take acts like this seriously. Raw Story has the photos in their article.

Further,there are no African American Republicans in Congress at this time, and have only been 123 since 1870. They also adore perceived racist Rush Limbaugh. This is where they are, and I believe part of the reason they are on the losing end of progress in America.

Ron Reagan on MSNBC

Chris Matthews played host to Air America's Ron Reagan and Frank Gaffney of The Center for Security Policy. Matthews challenged Gaffney on his decision to honor both Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby for their service, a black tie event nonetheless. Libby, who is a felon and as Ron points out, Cheney an 'un-indicted war criminal were honored for protecting America. The right seems to forget that we were actually attacked under the Bush/Cheney watch.

Right-Wing cheers failed Olympic bid

After grand criticism for his trip to Copenhagen for the 2016 Olympics, President Obama's rejection is the right-wing's victory. Fox Nation, the unfair and unbalanced blog of Fox News, has readers cheering "I guess he should have sent ACORN and SEIU over to soften them up. Followed by Pelosi and Reid. OH NO FAILURE! What will he do now? HA HA HA HA HA such a waste of tax payer money."

This irrational behavior of the unhinged right-wing is beyond the left's opposition to President Bush. No matter what the current administration attempts, the Republican Party, it's base, the conservative media, immediately say "NO!!!" Is this healthy for America? I think not.

Under President Bush, the left saw a man aloof, who had trouble finishing sentences, yet are anger stemmed from the war in Iraq, to the Patriot Act, and no-bid contracts for his staff's former employers. We took a few cheap shots, I won't argue that. That said, under President Obama, we see a man who inherited a two wars, an economic collapse, Wall St. and Insurance Company baron robbers, a health care system allowing people to die over typos,etc. I stated before he was elected "who the hell would want this job now? It has reached a point where he could find a cure for cancer, and the neo-cons would say no!

It is a fact, the Olympics are a costly event to host. However, the boost to jobs, infrastructure, and revenue are immeasurable. For instance, the 1976 Olympics in Montreal still garner revenue in practice facilities, which still house hundreds of jobs. In Vancouver, who will host the 2010 Winter Olympics, now has a Skytrain, which finished construction this past July. It shuttles workers to their jobs, serves as transportation for many. There are numerous conclusions one can draw on the cost. There are also many conclusions one can draw by allowing the status-quo to continue. The United States needs a boost. Whether it garnering revenue from the Olympics in 2016, saving on health care with a "public option" or actually bailing out the people. Screaming and shouting at every move the Democratic Party makes no sense. The right complains the President is not accomplishing enough, well, no! Not if you keep standing in his way.
