Send Them to Gitmo: Double Standard on White Christian Domestic Terrorists is Direct Threat to U.S.

By GottaLaff

Your Daily Dose of BuzzFlash, via my pal Mark Karlin:

It's a relief of sorts that the Michigan militia members, White Christian Domestic Terrorists, were apprehended before they launched a killing spree of police officers and other Americans. But why should they receive a civil trial, according to right wing arguments; why shouldn't they be flown directly down to Guantanamo?

Of course BuzzFlash does support criminal trials for all charged terrorists and those plotting terorrism, but why the double standard on the part of the right wing when it comes to White Christian Domestic Terrorists? [...]

[T]he destructive white male power feeling of "victimization" (which translated means: "why don't we call all the shots anymore, and why don't the undeserving minorities know their place?") virtually disappeared during the Bush administration, when you had a white male with a cauliflower for a brain as titular head of the nation; but that's okay, white males -- even if as dumb as cabbages -- are entitled to rule.

That's what the White Christian Domestic Terrorism of the Michigan militia is all about. [...]

[T]his is just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone planning domestic terrorism or shooting a few people dead after reading books by FOX news inciters or Rush Limbaugh or the like should be sent directly to Guantanamo.

They are as dangerous in terms of terrorism as Al-Qaeda, so why should they get an exception just because they are white and Christian?

For the whole thing, please go here.

RedState: "GOP Does Not Want A Black Man In The Senate"

By GottaLaff

Oh suh-nap! When the editor-in-chief of the big ol' right-wing website RedState-- even if he's being "sarcastic" (as he claims)-- comes out with a tirade like this, yikes.

Talk about the far white:

It is starting to get really disgusting.

First, the GOP said it needed diversity and chose the orange Charlie Crist over the Latino, Marco Rubio.

Then the GOP said it needed to do better outreach in the black community, so it ignored Michael Williams in Texas and tried to find a rich white guy to run for the Senate.

Now that Kay Bailey Hutchison has lost the Texas primary to Rick Perry without even making it into a runoff, the Washington, D.C. Republicans are scared to death a black man might actually get appointed to the Senate as a Republican. [...]

The fact remains that the GOP preaches diversity all the time and when presented with an attractive Latino and black candidate, they pass on both because they are too conservative.

Erick Erickson is calling the GOP too conservative.

Who the Tea Baggers really are

Nothing says "patriotic" and "diverse" like the Tea Bagger Party... at least that's what they keep telling us.

Reports from the Big Convention tell a different story.

Via Think Progress:

And outside the convention hall, entrepreneurs sold souvenirs: sterling silver tea bag necklaces ($89.99), bags of “Freedom Coffee” ($9) and T-shirts emblazoned with a bald eagle ($20).

The convention’s first day lacked the orchestrated staging of most modern political events. The convention host delivered a meandering welcome speech without notes, saying he misplaced them. Former congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) offered a fiery defense of Judeo-Christian faith and traditional American values, but there was no prayer or Pledge of Allegiance to open the convention — nor was there an American flag in the convention hall. (Skoda blamed the oversight on the hotel staff.)

Yep, them Tea Tantrumers are real Amurkins.

Via The Grio, seems the Big Tent Party-o'-Tea isn't all that Big and Tenty:
