Divisive Conservative Tries To Drive Wedge Between People, Attacks President As 'Obama Hussein'

Once in a while I read an article, column or whatever, and am left to shake my head in disappointment at the kinds of thoughts that swim through the heads of my fellow citizens.

This all brings me to a rather hateful piece written by a woman named Lisa Carter. Now, for the record, I do not necessarily have a problem with black conservatives or conservatives in general. Once upon a time, I was a conservative.

But, articles like the one (a rather brief one) I am going to fully quote make me question why more people do not stand up to this kind of divisive us-against-them talk.

Here is the first part I am going to excerpt:

It's disappointing enough that our elected officials in Los Angeles are putting the rights of criminal illegal aliens ahead of true American citizens. However, when the federal government decides to sue the state of Arizona for trying to protect itself from criminal illegal aliens from Mexico, something has gone wrong.

According to the Los Angeles Times (not always a reliable source), the Obama Hussein administration is expected to file a lawsuit aimed at blocking the state's bid to curb illegal immigration on its own, according to people familiar with the administration's plans.

"Obama Hussein" shows how much of a hater this woman is and it also shows as much right off the bat. So, relatively early in her piece, she panders to the bigotry that exists in too many people on the far right who hate President Obama and have tried to use his name and the fact that his father was an African against him.

Here is the second part:

To uneducated illegal Mexicans who rape American culture, values, education, and finances, this is good news. To hard-working legal citizens, many who are of Mexican descent, this is an act of treason. 2012 can't come fast enough!

She resorts to bigoted, immature and dangerous stereotypes of Mexicans to make her face. She then sort of suggests that they are not hard working by putting emphasis on people legally in the country she describes as "hard-working legal citizens." To try and deflect from her obvious bigotry, she weakly slips in a part about the "legal" Mexicans (FAIL).

This was a disturbing piece to read and I hope it is not indicative of who she is as a person.

Greg Gutfeld Joins The Party In Bashing The Assassinated Dr. George Tiller

Right-wing commentator Greg Gutfeld has joined the party of people smearing the assassinated Dr. George Tiller. Dr. Tiller, who performed LEGAL procedures, was gunned down in church by a low-life anti-abortion domestic terrorist. It seems as though those extremists on the right wing are only concerned about domestic terrorism when it involves a Muslim.

Here is an excerpt from a blog written by Gutfeld:

So, as usual this morning, I’m on the stairclimber at the gym, watching CNN devote what seems like an entire morning on the death of George Tiller (no wonder their ratings are in the toilet). Remember, this isn’t just any abortion doctor – he’s like a hall-of-famer, late-term baby disposal unit – popping them off just as they cross the finish line.

But no matter, as I watch CNN’s in depth coverage – the kind you’d never see them give to the murder of a soldier by a Muslim convert – I kept obsessing over one thing.

Am I wrong for not caring?

I mean, I know that soon there will be a movie about Tiller (not about William Long, of course), probably starring walking hairpiece Ted Danson. But I still don’t care. I mean, I know that killing Tiller is wrong. It’s murder. And if you’re against the killing of unborn children, you can’t just go out and kill a man, even if he kills unborn children.

But that still doesn’t explain why I don’t care. And I’m willing to bet that the rest of America – save the media – don’t care much either.

Why is that? It’s not about Tiller’s murder being wrong. I get that. That’s not the issue. This issue is, when you make priorities of “stuff that’s wrong” – is it more wrong to kill a dumpster full of viable babies, than to kill the doc who fills that dumpster?

Yes, you are wrong for not caring about a man’s murder and the domestic terrorism that has, for so long, been intimately associated with the anti-abortion movement. Gutfeld may have the same research team that helped Bill O’Reilly lie about CNN’s coverage of the murder of Pvt. Long. O’Reilly was exposed as being dishonest about CNN’s in-depth coverage. Strangely enough, Gutfeld does actually make a good point: “And if you’re against the killing of unborn children, you can’t just go out and kill a man, even if he kills unborn children.” On the other hand, Gutfeld returns to right-wing extremism by the end. That is sad.

Here is another Gutfeld comment I found interesting (in the last paragraph of the above excerpt):

This issue is, when you make priorities of “stuff that’s wrong” – is it more wrong to kill a dumpster full of viable babies, than to kill the doc who fills that dumpster?

Whether you like it or not, abortion is a LEGAL procedure. MURDERING A HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL.
