The most astonishing thing so far in this month of global unrest that has the Middle East and North Africa ablaze with the passions of revolution is that for the first time, and much to my total shock, real Americans have gotten off of their asses and are out in the streets. With the protests in Wisconsin, an uprising against the despotic Governor Scott Walker’s war on labor now entering the weekend the oligarchy is getting restive. Now the word is out that the goons are going to be bussed in by the thousands courtesy of the insipid, right-wing dipshit Andrew Breitbart we could be on the brink of a new era of American insurgency, or with any luck at all, a full blown civil war. In Wisconsin, before the euphoria of the beloved publicly owned Green Bay Packers emerging victorious from the opulent and ice-covered Jerry Dome with the Vince Lombardi trophy in hand had abetted, the fight was on with Governor Walker whose flagrant union busting budget enraged state workers and sent them to the streets. Members of the Super Bowl champion Packers were also coming forth as outspoken critics of Governor Hosni Walker. While the corporate pocket media desperately tried to ignore the unrest lest any others start getting the idea that like in Egypt, revolutions sometimes succeed the lack of coverage was overcome by the internet and social media. Now that the toothpaste is out of the tube there is nothing left to do but send in the thugs. Now I wouldn’t personlly encourage anything like putting a real bounty on Breitbart’s butt-ugly head but were there to be someone who did I would be more than happy to kick something into the kitty.
Andrew Breitbart is a particularly obnoxious and nasty little son of a bitch, real degenerate scum. Fresh off his recently being bitch-smacked with a civil lawsuit for his defamatory, racist smearing of former Agriculture Department head Shirley Sherrod, he has to be in a particularly ill-tempered mood as he leads the Republican Sturmabteilung into Madison. Breitbart, who rose to prominence in the neocon ratpack of vomit spewing propagandists largely due to his years of servitude to the pole-smoking internet gossip monger Matt Drudge (Breitbart probably got tired of having to suck the stale farts out of the great one’s computer chair seat cushion, this is speculation on my part of course) is not only ready to rile but is suddenly in very serious need of some money from his sugar daddies the Koch Brothers. Breitbart is also one of the key players in promoting that little termite James O’Keefe whose fake pimp video sting was instrumental in the early Republican plan to define Barack Obama as a racist who would use his presidency to enslave the white race or some horseshit like that that only appeals to the dumb and angry, both of which are in abundance in this once great country. O’Keefe is an interesting story, primarily for his involvement and arrest in the a bridge too far bugging of Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu’s phones. This story is bizarre in that it seems to indicate that there is more behind the actions of Breitbart and O’Keefe than just right-wing ideology and fraternity boy pranks, something like an actual intelligence operation but that is a story for another time.
Also being trotted out onto the FOX box to engage in the propaganda war is none other than the as of late, strangely reclusive wild Alaskan moonbat Sarah Palin to attack the unions. Palin, after the huge public relations debacle of having her bufoonish creator William Kristol and neocon speechwriters allow her to denounce the reputedly librul [sic] media by using the term “blood libel” to describe those who somewhat accurately alluded to the influence that the idiot queen had amongst the mentally unstable with her thinly veiled and violent rhetoric. While it still has yet to be determined whether Jared Lee Loughner was a right-winger despite the Weekly Standard led hogwash that he had BOTH the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf listed on his MySpace page (could two ideological works possibly be more diametrically opposed?) which was eaten up by the mouth-breathers in the Dick Armey of Darkness, the lock and load references don’t exactly contribute to peaceful discourse. With the bottom of the barrel, dumber than buckets of shit sort of human waste that are the rock solid Republican haters of the hijacked Tea Party movement it doesn’t take much to incite violence. Match that sort of seething animosity and hair trigger tempers, combine dog whistle encouragement from Breitbart, Palin the cynical multi-millionaire phony populist Glenn Beck and King Fatso Rush Limbaugh and you have a recipe for some serious ugliness in Wisconsin today. Especially since the targets are a bunch of silly, pacifist, holier than thou, anti-second amendment, soft as butter liberals. It could get really, really ugly and don’t count on Governor Walker to call off the skull cracking once it gets going. Here is hoping that the Teamsters will be mustering thousands of their own to protect against a right-wing pogrom.
Really though, this is nothing new, throughout the history of this sordid and rotting by the minute star-spangled lemming colony violent goons have ALWAYS been brought in to put down challenges to their precious looter capitalist system. Some of the more notable historic incidences are the infamous Ludlow massacre, the Johnson County War, the bloodbath at Matewan, the putdown of the Bonus Army and many, many other occasions where acts of sanctioned violence were the tool out of the box rather than the last resort to putdown threats to entrenched money and power. Wisconsin’s scumbagger backed fascist dictator Scott Walker has already put the state National Guard on notice, perhaps today will be his moment of glory when he can have them fix their bayonets and with the help of Breitbart’s goons crush the uprising, nip it in the bud before a full blown revolt against the looter capitalist pigs, their police state and the plutocrats that it serves begins to catch on and give the legions of jobless something constructive and redemptive to do.
Down here in Florida, the diseased penis of America we have our own problems. A bald-headed, money-sucking, egotistical fanatic and corporate ghoul named Rick Scott (whose Columbia/HCA corporation was responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history and who admitted to 14 counts) has just upped the ante by making a big public showing of refusing 2.4 billion dollars of big gubmint [sic] money for a high-speed rail system and in doing so already reneged on his promise to bring jobs to the state. Instead of acting in the best interests of the state, the megalomaniac Scott is hellbent on continuing to pander to the scumbagger miscreants who are easily hoodwinked into easy conscription into the angry army, led by their leader Rick “General Bethlehem” Scott in the ongoing jihad against that uppity, Muslim, Commie black man in the White House. In these parts they really don’t grow them very smart to begin with but today’s Florida is a hodgepodge of humanity running the gamut from multi-generational Cuban right-wing fanatics in Miami all the way up to the Raptureheads and Jesus juicers in Jacksonville, the strip mall church capital of America. Mix in longtime rural Floridians who proudly refer to themselves as “crackers”. Then there are well heeled retirees (most of the regular old folks got run out of the state during the real estate bubble when greedy developers bought their humble trailer park land out from under them for their condo projects) whose animosity towards any idea that is remotely progressive is rooted in their 1950’s myopia when Joe McCarthy was riding high and fightin’ those damned Commie agents in Murka and the colored folks knew their place in the back of the bus, the Archie Bunker worshippers, you know,‘those were the days’. Also there are the lam greedheads who despite being crooks to the nth degree they are able to shelter their ill-gotten gains thanks to the state’s extremely favorable homestead laws and filthy, swindling carpetbaggers like Rick Scott who slimed his way here from elsewhere and you have on seriously fucked up and dysfunctional roiling cauldron of a very potent witches brew that with a bit more stirring of the pot could turn into pure nitroglycerin.
Now fortunately, although being in the south, Florida is pretty so far south that it really isn’t south, nothing like Judge Roy Moore’s Alabama or Bull Connor’s Mississippi where they are still fighting the fucking Civil War. I also happen to live in a major metropolitan area that is pretty diverse although it’s only about a 45 minute drive to Yahooville and the entrenched peckerwoods whose devotion to the racist Republican party is second only to God himself. Here in Tampa, on the outskirts of town we have the world’s largest Confederate flag flying on glorious display and there are sporadic fights in some areas to have Martin Luther King’s name stripped from streets and schools. This is the land of plenty for the low-hanging fruit that the Koch Brothers and the other sponsors of the Tea Party are easily able to pluck by the bushel load and while Madison may right now be the battleground for the war that the pigs who run this shithole just can’t lose it could easily break out here at any given time with hostility running high. Florida is teeming with teabagger rats and the Republican strategists like Karl Rove and his ilk fully understand that. The fact that Tampa also happens to be the proud host city for the 2012 Republican Party Convention, a neo-Nazi lollapalooza means that the ugliness is coming very soon and very likely I will be at ground zero when the local Gauleiters muster their Becked up and armed to the teeth bund members for a gathering that could be America’s very own Nuremberg. If the GOP is capable of finding a charismatic Führer (or Führeress) in time to engage in battle royale against Barack Hussein Obama to save the righteous from the deeply embedded servants of the Islamofascist Caliphate (like ACORN) before they allow the Antichrist to consolidate his power by gaining a second term in the White House.
Given that Scott has in less than two months alienated not only any sane person who happens to live here but also key Republicans who don’t line up at the Tea Party Kool Aid vat to shuck and jive with pissed off white niggers but also key business interests who had much invested in the rail plan. While the legislature is working furiously to override Saddam Scott the teabagger terrorists are busy in coercing any sort of honorable conservatives (not an oxymoron) to fall into line. Scott, like that oily little prick Marco Rubio benefited greatly when the ambitious empty suit that is Charlie Crist decided that his gig as Governor of Florida was not high profile enough and decided to run for U.S. Senate. The ensuing debacle which serendipitously coincided with the well financed and impeccably choreographed Republican co-opted Tea Party uprising against Obama’s death panels was largely responsible for Scott’s ascension. With Crist run out of the GOP on a rail for not passing the ideological purity purge of decrying Obamacare as socialism (as if enacting that backdoor bailout of the insurance industry parasites is anything other than the worst sort of crony capitalism) and was forced into a third party candidacy for the seat which was doomed from the start. Scott, like the pathological grifter that he is rode the wave of dumbed down and FOXed up scumbaggers and still only barely beat out a Rachel Maddow lookalike named Alex Sink for the governorship. While Sink’s ties to the banking industry was no assurance that she would have done anything other than continue to enrich the Wall Street economy destroyers at least she wasn’t psychotic. There are already whispers of a recall against Scott and such a move could have a good deal of crossover appeal given the shamelessness of the Governor and a broad based enemies list that is more inclusive with each and every idiotic decree that he issues.
Barring that there is always a possibility of a march on Tallahassee by a pitchfork bearing mob determined to chase that scoundrel from power just as Hosni Mubarak was ousted.
This is why a successful working class insurgency is so very dangerous to these pricks and must be crushed at all costs.
