From BRAD BLOG commenter “Billy” as posted in response to our breaking coverage Wednesday night of the Congressional legislation to defund ACORN in the wake of the “pimp” hoax videos, having been declared in federal court to have been an unconstitutional bill of attainder…

Boy, if this keeps up, people will start thinking ACORN was targeted because Republicans simply hate black people.
But we know that’s not true. They also hate women with jobs, happy gay people, miserable poor people, all people in need of medical attention, intelligent people who happen to speak one of them foreign languages, intelligent people in general, all people who live near high-yield oilfields, all people who oppose wars of aggression, people with unfavorable views of torturing non-Caucasians, people who wonder who’s been listening in on our phone conversations and browsing our library lists, people who still believe in habeas corpus, people who don’t use the U.S. flag as bling, and people who don’t even exist — like Murphy Brown.
But let us not jump to conclusions. There’s always a good explanation.
I’m glad Brad thought Billy’s comment worthy of the front page. Nice going, Billy!
Hey, that’s me!
yeah, good on you Bil-lay…..but
had I known such prestigous recognition was in the offing I woulda had brought my “A” game more often. Be forewarned, I’m a wantin’ me some of that next month.
X. L. N. T. Billy!!!
Also, excellent, Brad! for making truth be known. You are the en-lightning (flash) one!
It is a witty quote, but I don’t believe that it applies to all Republicans. I also believe that it applies to a good number of Democrats. The two main parties are subservient to corporate interests, and their differences are primarily of style and how they direct their lip service, not actual substance.
Genuine conservatives such as, say, Ron Paul, wouldn’t be supporting big government totalitarian policies of the Republican party (aka Democratic party, to be mathematically pedantic). On the other side (actually the same side with a different name, “Democrats”)such as Dennis Kucinich wouldn’t be supporting the shafting of the American populace to in kow-towing servitude to the corporate puppet-masters who dictate the policies of the spineless Democrats (as well as the more honest Republicans who openly admit to being corporate whores).
In practice, Republicans and Democrats are, with very few exceptions, whores for their corporate pimps, and the American population (as well as people in other countries) are getting f*cked.
