mykeru

i'm starting to like this mykeru character.

We are not supposed to be hateful? Fuck that. These people are either off the planet or they really expect that the American public being fucked over by the right are obligated to get a good case of the Stockholm Syndrome.

I hadn't written anything during the Republican Convention because I was appalled to the point of paralysis. Not only by epic idiocies such as Zell Miller's speech where he painted opposing a sitting president (of the other party, no less) as treasonous and America-hating, and simply lied about John Kerry's voting record. Not only because Dick Cheney's speech contained a similar lie distorting Kerry's use of the word "sensitive" that would be laughed into embarrassed pulp over its dishonesty if we had a functional press corps that wasn't bent on complicity by playing at bullshit "objectivity" that requires the expunging of all context and facts in favor of giving somewhat equal airtime to liars and their detractors without bothering to explain which is which.

I think the final straw, the single thing that indicates the Republican party has become a clearing house for dishonest, dishonorable, stupid people was the distribution of Band-Aids sporting little purple hearts to mock John Kerry's combat wounds.

That and the seeming suspension of the Constitution for the duration of the convention, where innocent people were rounded up in sweeps, kept in filthy conditions and illegally held to the point of the city of New York being cited and fined for contempt.

this one says everything i wish i could. i'm cockblocked eh, i'm what that one calls "appalled to the point of paralysis". i've been that way a very long time.

fuck 'em up, boyo. fuck 'em up. someone has to.

and the visual display of the significance of the number of the fallen soldiers is just brilliant.
