From one of many to choose from, as always. This time reported on by the Christian Science Monitor:
What the Fox?
FOX News botched it this morning when a morning news host reported that President Obama watched an HBO documentary about his campaign last night.
Who needs facts?
Kansas City based company KK Office Solutions allegedly threatened their employees with termination if they dared to vote for Barack Obama last November.
Elliot Snell, a salesman of the company alleges that he was fired for his vote despite bringing in over $600,000 in sales for the company.
Elliot Snell sued KK Office Solutions in Wyandotte County Court. The email warned that if Obama were elected, all salespeople will have to pool their sales commissions to give underachieving salespeople a “fair shake;” that hourly employees will pool their wages, including overtime, to help those who are “too busy to for overtime;” that top management was to be referred to as “the government,” and would be exempt from pooling because the law doesn’t apply to it; and that the last few people hired “should clean out their desks.”
Good lord, the Right Wing have lost their collective damned minds in every way possible. Have they no sense of right and wrong anymore? Are they really so blindly interested in putting their own power and small-minded ambitions above democratically-e…lected institutions? Do they really hate our Democracy so much? These “people” like Savage are utterly contemptible and disgusting in every way.
Media Matters points out that the appeals to the military follow a wave of rhetoric from the right suggesting that civilian violence against the government might be justified. Chuck Norris has asked if people are ready for “a second American Revolution.” RedState’s Erick Erickson has asked, “At what point do the people … march down to their state legislator’s house, pull him outside, and beat him to a bloody pulp?” Radio host Michael Savage declared recently that “we’re going to have a revolution in this country.”
