Dear Yankee Progressives,
Speaking as a global citizen who has been forced to watch helplessly over the past 8 years as your cocaine cowboy resident-in-chief and his motley posse of sociopathic right-wing banditos have done their goddamndest to roll back pretty much every advance in Western civilization that has occurred since the dawn of the Enlightenment, I really, really don’t want to see John Sidney McSame inherit the third term slot and continue Dubya and Dead Eye’s dubious, destructive legacy (100 years or bust! Bomb, bomb Iran! Habeus Whatus?!), all because myopic Democratic activists, punch-drunk with extended primary season passion and loathing for each respective Democratic Party champion, kept doing the GOP and MSM’s dirty work for them until it was too fucking late.
So how about y’all remember who the real fucking enemy is (hint: not Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama), before it is too late and “4 more years!” is the headline on November 6th, m’kay?
(Oh, and can we agree that the Kewl Kidz in the Beltway press corps have heavily trafficked in both racism and misogyny in their primary coverage? There’s no pass when your very existence challenges the established white male paradigm. The only candidate who’s getting a pass from the media is The Maverick.)

[...] Look, intent is irrelevant–habitually using reductive terms like “sweetie’ is both disrespectful and indicative that Obama may have a bigger problem with women than simply not getting their votes, regardless of whether his actions are conscious or otherwise. Not to say that this sort of thing is unique (gee, a man says something misogynistic and dismissive to a woman–film at 11!), nor is it definitive proof that Obama actively perpetuates misogyny (does anyone seriously think that Geraldine Ferraro burns crosses in her free time?) But a good ally is duty bound to call out the people on his or her team when someone fucks up (to be clear: my team is the ‘not John McSame’ team). [...]
