The Real America: Bitter, Clinging Birthers

Dave Weigel, previously referred to at our other location, seems to like guns. He's made some photos he took over the wknd. available at the Washington Independent, under the title "Scenes From the Real America." Sarcasm? Who can tell?

Gun enthusiasts of all stripes were there — from the National Rifle Association and sportsmen to militia members to white supremacists and Obama birthers.

That's quite a spectrum of stripes there. Wasn't just any old gun event either, but a Machine Gun Shoot! Dave types: "Some of the better merchandise from the exhibit tens [sic]. This one says “Prepare for Obama’s Citizen Army (ACORN + Nation of Islam)”Plenty of Nazi/Hitler memorabilia, right next to the "Obama is Hitler" merch. This takes the classic "I'm not saying Hitler was right, but I'm not saying he was wrong, either," to a new level.

The editorial staff has never been so ashamed to be over-weight, middle-aged, Anglo (more or less) & of the middle-class. This is why:"The Birthers had two sets of petitions, one just for members (or retired members) of the military who wanted to join Orly Taitz’s legal actions against Obama. Taitz is the blonde woman with the pink nametag, obscured slightly by Theresa Padget, the woman in the sweatshirt." And here are the Obama Youth Michelle Bachmann is in a tizzy over.SS hat & AmeriKKKan flag shoulder patch. Get used to it, chumps. Tomorrow belongs to us!!
