Tonight On The Randi Rhodes Show

THE RIGHT: A WOUNDED ANIMAL
DEBATE TONIGHT – WATCH OUT FOR PLANTS!

Yesterday, McNasty Old Troll and The Mad Dog hit the road to execute the next phase of their Gotterdammerung.

John McCain whipped ‘em into a froth in New Mexico, where the crowd resembled less a campaign rally and more a lynch mob. When McCain asked what should have been a simple, dull rhetorical question in his dull rhetorical speech…’Who is The Real Barack Obama?’ he was answered by a bark from an off camera lemming  ”A Terrorist!”.  The assembled red meaters were presented a feast!

Oh, but it gets worse.

In Florida, Mad Dog Palin raced around the very safe Republican bastians robotically rattling off how she read the New York Times, and what ‘pals’ Obama and William Ayers were.  Had she actually READ the NY Times she would have learned that they barely know each other.  But three times in one day Palin tried to paint Obama as a terrorist, or at the very least a lover of terrorists.  During one of the three rallies, Dana Milbank of the Washington Post reported that her snide, smarmy, sneering accusations illicited a response from her sychopantic base – “Kill Him.”

So that’s what we’re up against. That’s how ugly it has gotten. And hang on, because they aren’t finished yet.  Lies about Obama hating troops, taking foreign money and generally NOT LIKE YOU are going to be dropped like cluster bombs.

To them the machinations of democracy are mere playthings to be tinkered with.  In yet another example of these cowards attempting to turn decent Americans into their own personal army of bomb throwers (who are the terrorists now?) a radicalized attendee yelled “Sit down BOY” at an African American sound guy covering the “event”.  These “speeches” are staged for “The Base”.  If you speak Arabic you know the translation of “The Base” is “Al Qaeda” in Arabic.

You can not win an election with “The Base” alone.  So to hold on to power they must CHEAT and STEAL YOUR VOTE.    The brave Republican leaders will hide behind the skirts of the base and the uniforms of our military while they STEAL some more.  Money and power is and always has been their prize.  How they get there requires using human shields.

Today we’ll start talking….and continue right through November 4th…. about all the tricks they’ll try….and how you can trick them back and make your voice be heard.

“It’s a dangerous road, but we have no choice,” a top McCain strategist told the Daily News. “If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”

“And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,’” she continued.
“Boooo!” the crowd repeated.
“Kill him!” proposed one man in the audience.
