Ted Rall for August 10, 2012
Transcript:
Friends and neighbors are shocked to learn the identity of the man suspected of coldly taking the lives of 6 people, all members of the same ethnic group. (Man 1: Seemed nice) (Man 2: Kinda cold fish.) (Man 3: Had a telepropter) To those who track extremeist hate groups, however, the violence was not a surprise for one thing, he was already under investigation for earlier, similar crimes. Besides, he'd been saying a lot of crazy stuff for a long time. He thought he was some sort of avenging angel. (Barack Obama: If I put you on my kill list, you're dead yo. So why did he do it? The murder may have been influenced by hateful speech in the media and nationalist extremism in popular culture. Paranoid and delusional, the killer apparently thought the U.S. faced an existential threat from "foreigners" and non-christians. (Man: But they're on the other side of the world. In places without mail or running water.) The last straw, say the authorities may have been the mass murders fear of impending job loss. (Barack Obama: Polls sinking... but why? I haven't done anything wrong! Or anything at all....

If there were anyone else running against Obama besides an even sleazier version of Bush, I would vote for her in an instant!

President Obama the individual must have had a rude awakening when on his first day in the White House, he found out that the ‘ship of state’ was headed for a reef, and would (worse than a carrier) would take years to turn around, and many of the crew wouldn’t listen anyway. Add to that the siren-call of power, and nobody is going to give up power once gained. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

With Ryan as VP we won’t need to worry about people in other countries dying. We’ll have plenty right here at home.

I agree, Karyl, it is incredibly hateful to commit genocide on a daily basis, as Bush and now Obama have been doing with their disgusting, racist drone attacks on thousands of innocent people!

Yesyesyes he’s compromised, etcetcetc. Enough, already. Who’s he running against now…? um, let’s see… a power-mad religious fanatic who just picked another power-mad religious (just different religion) fanatic. And you’re recycling old news? What do you think the body count will be if R&R are elected? The count here in this country? We have 2 1/2 months to convince people a) not to vote for R&R, b) not to throw away a vote for, yes, Obama, on some far left candidate who stands no chance.
