There is a Weasel Faced Troubadour of Bigotry currently on tour in America.
The Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) "Electric I Drank Too Much Acidic Kool-Aid Test" bus has left the station, folks...all of the tickets were snapped up by the mush-mouthed Muslim haters, but we can follow along on the old internets...(and please sign the White House petition below)
Anyhoo, 8,190 comments later, 99% of which ripped him a new one, the King of the Weasels decided to "disappear" his possibly treasonous, absolutely confused, and definitely laughable "letter to Iran" from his Facebook page! Ain't that just a special little trick!
Reagan adviser Lee Atwater:
Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, “N——-, n——-, n——-.” By 1968 you can’t say “n——-” — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I’m not saying that. But I’m saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N——-, n——-.”
GOP representative Tom Cotton, telling a gross lie:
“(My dad) taught me early: farmers can’t spend more than they take in, and I listened,” Cotton said in the ad. “When President Obama hijacked the farm bill, turned it into a food stamp bill, with billions more in spending, I voted no.”
Of course, Cotton isn’t even in the ballpark of truth here. Food stamp bills have long been attached to farm bills in a cat’s cradle knot to encourage urban and rural legislators to vote for each others’ programs. It was the GOP who dissociated them in the hope of cutting food stamps. Obama had nothing to do with it.
But it’s worse than that. It’s no secret that food stamps (now called the SNAP program) have long been racial code for Republicans, even though a large plurality of SNAP recipients are white. When a Republican politician tells his base that he favors cutting food stamps but not farm subsidies, he’s using Atwater’s dog whistle, promising to deliver the pork to rich (white) agribusiness to boost their profits, while stiffing a lot of minorities (most of whom do work at least part-time) who would actually benefit the broader economy by receiving spending money.
Republicans bristle at being called racist in their policies: they feel that Democrats use every opportunity brand any conservative policy as racist. But that’s because they’ve grown so used to their own dog whistles that they don’t even realize that other people can hear them and take offense.
Tom Cotton isn’t just lying to rural voters about the history of the farm bill. He’s also playing a deliberately divisive form of racial politics that has no place in modern America.
Just an educated guess here- ol' Weasel Face has problems Handling the Truth. Got hisself into a bit of a tight spot here with comments like this flowing over his Facebook page like piss down a lame horse's flanks.
Tehran Tom calls food stamp recipients "addicts" while he sucks Koch and prostitutes himself to war mongering "defense" contractors.
yesterday i was writing in agreement with the author that sometimes it all seems futile the right wing still lies with impunity their under informed base, (by design) excepts it more as Gospel than the actual Gospel we know it is planned brainwashing and not having that close contact needed to help someone not dazzled by brilliance but baffled with BS, enters the Fox gang of gray matter scrubbers and possession is nine tenths of the law they have them they control them and they look forward to the trip they will not return from. i have to keep trying as long as the Good Lord allows me.
WHITE REPUBLICAN VOTERS THEY YOUR POLITICIANS ARE NOT COMING FOR YOUR GUNS THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU!!
