Young Republicans: Racism, Hate, Psychotic Paranoia and Intimidation; Just Like the Old Republicans!

BUZZFLASH EDITOR'S BLOG

By Mark Karlin

Sarah Palin and Audra Shay span the United States from North (Alaska) to South (Louisiana), but they share the emotional molten core of the last Alamo stand of the white GOP: "we'll fight to keep the government white."

Audra Shay, nearly 40, just won the Presidency of the Young Republicans over a real young Republican, a woman in her 20s.  Shay became infamous last week for the discovery of her racist rants and Michele Bachmann-Glenn Beck style proclamations of a nation near an Obama Armageddon meltdown.

Yet, through bullying and procedural foul play, Shay managed to eke out a win in this year's convention in Indianapolis to prove that the younger Republicans are just like the older ones: racist, bitter, white and hateful.

Frank Rich writes in his June 12th column about Sarah Palin:

Most important, she stands for a genuine movement: a dwindling white nonurban America that is aflame with grievances and awash in self-pity as the country hurtles into the 21st century and leaves it behind....The real wave she’s riding is a loud, resonant surge of resentment and victimization that’s larger than issues like abortion and gay civil rights.That resentment is in part about race, of course....She puts a happy, sexy face on ugly emotions, and she can solidify her followers’ hold on a G.O.P. that has no leaders with the guts or alternative vision to stand up to them or to her.

Audra Shay, who is just a few years younger than Palin, is proof that the future of the Republican Party is its past: Racism, Hate, Psychotic Paranoia and Intimidation.  And we might add an abundance of mediocrity.

Think of the San Andreas fault. The corporate wing of the Republican Party aside, the populist wing is primarily "white firsters" -- whether of the Baptist/Evangelical variety or just plain Neo Confederates (someone like Audra Shay appears to be the combo-deal).

The dust up a couple of months back between whether Limbaugh or the RNC/Republicans in Congress led the Republican Party was a battle between the populist "white firsters" and the the Oligarchy/corporate branch of the GOP.

What the victory of Audra Shay as the new head of the Young Republicans and the continuing national obsession with Sarah Palin indicates is that the populist wing continues to be in ascendance, it would appear.

The "white firsters," as Frank Rich points out, are a diminishing demographic, which makes them all the more angry and bitter.

They are going to put up one Hell of a fight to force upon us -- promoters of the Constitution and a democracy decided by the majority -- to force upon us a white right wing Christian government.

Wasilla, in racist outlook, isn't really that far from Shay's Louisiana; in fact ideologically, they are next door neighbors, ready to throw a brick through the window of the first black to move into the neighborhood.

Or the first one to occupy the White House.

NAME and SHAME the Advertisers of Right-Wing Hate Radio!

Instead of boycotting companies that advertise on right-wing hate radio -- because boycotts are no longer effective in this day and age of the globalized economy -- a far more effective strategy would be to NAME and SHAME them into canceling their advertising with these hatemongers. "THIS is what your ad dollars are supporting!" would be the message aimed directly at the advertisers, along with plenty of direct examples of the hate-filled poison these mad dogs are spouting on the air. "Is THIS what you want your company and/or product to be associated with?" Then DEMAND that these comapnies stop supporting hate radio with their advertising dollars and warn that they'll be exposed as supporters of this filth if they don't. Getting a BAD REPUTATION is more effective than boycotting their products directly. If they bring up the ratings, counter that argument with this fact: Only 17 percent of Americans listen to talk radio and most who do are conservative, middle-aged-and-older white Republican males. Women don't listen to it. People of color don't listen to it. And above all, YOUNG PEOPLE don't listen to it! It's worked before -- Remember Imus? NAME and SHAME the bastards!

Writer's logic is solid - NOT

Tell me again where the connection between Sarah Palin and racism is. I think the writer feels that by mentioning Palin and racism in the same paragraph, that counts. If unfairly calling a woman who has never uttered a racist statement in her life a racist passes for intelligent commentary, we're all in trouble. Shame on you for the hateful namecalling with nothing to back it up. Why don't you call her a slut while you're at it. I think any honest-minded person knows you're only gripe with her is that she's a woman.

No, shame on you.

If you'd have watched and listened to Palin's campaign speeches to almost exclusively white audiences, you'd have picked up all the code words that everyone knows are pure racism. I think every honest-minded person knows the only reason you don't have a gripe with her is that you know nothing about her.

Dems + GOP= American Corporate Party

We, progressives, have to watch a Democratic President not only continue the Bush assault on the Constitution, but refuse to look in that infamous rearview mirror at the Bush Crime Family's war crimes. Wall St. continues to own "Our" government. All the Repugs & too many Dems continue to fight against a Public Option. Unregulated greed is the foundation of our failing Democracy.

The 2008 Presidential Campaign

in my opinion was full of hate and Audra Shay seems to be following the script laid down by Palin and McCain. It's what I call the "The McCain/Palin Effect." Photobucket

Beautifull....And Soooo Needs to be Repeated !

If Buzzflash readers and any normal, decent Americans want to hear what is driving this Tsunami of HATE!.....just go to this site and listen at random to ANY of the archived low-brow, right wing radio filth, proudly displayed on this site:

And bear in mind this dumb poison originates in New York City !

Start with this past Friday's "show" and then just listen anywhere at random.

You will then face head-on the hate-filled dumbness that is taking us down.

Normal Americans can no longer afford to look down from Mount Olympus and ignore the base poison that is assassinating our national character and poisoning the air we breathe, literally and metaphorically.

Listen to it, and boycott the businesses that inflict this offal on our country.

Here it is again:
