re: #350 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin

I always love this conversation, that seems to start and end with all white Republicans have done for us.

Lol to begin with, they founded an entire party, just to free us.

Then! When those racists stood in the doorways, they passed Civil Rights (as if there was just one CR act e_e) on our behalf.

Ungrateful as we have always been, now we won’t reward them with our vote, that they so altruistically fought for us to have.

To listen to white conservatives you would think that their superior morals and principles fought for civil rights, while MLK sat around dreaming — admirably — and Rosa Parks sat on her ass on a bus — admirably.

Honestly, I think a lot of them really do believe the David Barton/Glenn Beck/Bryan Fischer history rewrite casting the losers as the winners.

I just had a slightly sleep deprived epiphany. I always wondered why as I watched the Righties froth over the latest fake outrage, something felt familiar about their approach. Now I know why….. In collage I had a Chen teacher who would grade the outcome of our labs based on how close we got to the exact solution or number we were looking for. Sounds good so far. But if you knew the primitive methods we had to employ to find such things as the Avogadro constant, you would understand why we, “penciled in” the lab. To get a good grade, we came up with the answer we wanted first, then filled everything in between to support our conclusion. That is exactly what the Right Wing hate machine does. Find a target, make some shit up, and then make up more shit to support it.

hmm maybe that is not so worthy of the epiphany word…
