i always thought bernie's 15 minutes got spent about 7-8 years ago, and since then he's been a largely irrelevant self-promoting hack consigned to preach to a willfully ignorant choir. i never found much reason to pay attention to him. there are so many other more flamboyant preachers of hate and divisiveness on the right that bernie had sunk under my rightwing mediawhore radar.
but i did catch an excerpt of bernie on that awful communist "daily show" tonight. the part where bernie talks about liberals not having 5 kids or kids with down syndrome. and thats why we dont like sarah (the "anointed-esse one"?)
as a liberal with 5 kids, including one with down syndrome, i have for the first time become personally offended by something said by a rightwing "pundit". but keep saying it. i have always been a big proponent of free speech, and i encourage bernie and others on the right to keep speaking up. you are doing what my father used to call "showing your ass".
and just for the record, liberals are "real americans" and i know many like me who have 5 kids, and a kid with down syndrome, and who go to church, and who are patriotic and support our military, and who want whats best for our country and our kids.
so bernie, and sarah, and all the rest of you "real americans" out there, keep "showing your ass" and keep on preaching. the rest of us real americans are seeing your true colors, and voting accordingly.
