It's interesting watching the circus of hate, hypocrisy and dysfunction that is the Republican Party and it's American Taliban owners. But particularly this time around, as this week, I have the rare opportunity to do so from inside a Muslim country,
While the Romney campaign tries desperately to flog it's talking point of President Obama "apologizing for American values", the editorials and opinion pages here in Malaysia tell a very different story.
Yesterday was "Malaysia Day" here. The national holiday commemorating the founding of Malaysia as an independent nation 47 years ago. Yet the opinion pages of the major news papers were full of letters to editors from Muslim Imams and Clerics all expressing their horror, shock and dismay at brutal attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi Libya, and asking faithful Muslims the world over to condemn the extremists who are murdering in the name of their religion.
Not blaming America, not saying it's America's fault , not saying the film maker is to blame, but saying the mobs who attacked our diplomatic missions and murdered our citizens are the ones to blame and who are the real insult to the Islamic faith.
Funny how Fox News never reports that huh?
So many conservatives, people I know to be reasonably intelligent, thinking people have jumped on the apology talking point knowing full well it is a bald faced lie. The Twitter posting the US Embassy in Cairo put out condemning an anti-Islamic film in the United States was done before the protests occurred, and was not in any way, any sort of apology for American values. But, the wing nuts who now own the GOP don't care. Facts don't matter any more. The truth is just inconvenient liberal bias. These people are insane, racist, anti American nut-jobs who don't care about the welfare of the United States, they just hate President Obama.
At the latest American Taliban Hate-fest they even admitted out loud that to buy into the load of crap they are spewing you have to be pretty stupid.
Of course when Rick Santorum says "the church and the family", he means only his church, and only his family. If you are not a right wing theo-fascist who hates the idea that United States Constitution applies to everyone then the America the "Values Voters" seeks to bring about probably doesn't have much room in it for you .
Personally I can't wait for Election Day, so much so that I will even be flying back to the United States to be there when President Barack Obama is re-elected to a second term. When that happens, and the certainly of that has been made all the more clear this past week watching the hate fuelled lunacy that now passes for the modern GOP, I will be there television set tuned to FOX News, because I cannot wait to see these lunatics literally lose their minds.
For all my friends who still support the insanity that is the GOP, here is a photo to keep in the back of your mind, you will soon be seeing it live again, come January 2013
