Video: "Bobby" McDonnell's "Dear Friend" Pat Robertson Says Liberals, Gays "Want a Dictatorship"

There's a warning in this remark (4.00 / 1)

Remember how rightwing uber-conservatives project on others what they are doing, or intend to do themselves. Hence they cry about voter fraud while doing the same themselves, blame Democrats for class warfare when they have actually been engaged in it themselves for years---- and now they are alerting us that Mitt Romney, the alpha-A type boss, will be a dictator. I believe it: Mitt has all the characteristics, and I suspect that at least 30 percent of the population, having the authoritarian-follower mindset, are so frightened of the economy and the changing demographics that they are all too ready to follow a Boss. We can only work and hope that not enough others (beyond the 30 percent Republican base) are not spooked into an equivalent fear, and vote for the R's---- or that the election is not so close that Republican election fraud and voter suppression does not tip the election their way at the last minute.

So History Doesn't Repeat... (0.00 / 0)

One of the blessings in the bailout of banks and the auto industry, of the implicit acceptance of Keynesian stimulus of the economy in hard times, of Bernanke being a student of the Great Depression and putting money into circulation, to my mind, was that we have a far better chance of avoiding political extremism getting control, as happened in Germany and its allies in the 1930's. That said, I share your concern. If Romney were to win, the extremists who have taken over the GOP would surely be emboldened to seek even more power. If he loses, we still haven't solved the problem of having one of our two political parties perverted into a party of fear and hate. I do feel that time will take care of that. (As GOPer Lindsey Graham said, "There just aren't enough angry, white men.") The demographic makeup of the U.S. is surely changing. Until then.....

No doubt old Pat has gotten that completely backwards. After all liberals can think for themselves unlike the repugs that are afraid of their shadows. They load up with guns and even want to take them to church in case there is a boogieman there.
