The Republican Party finally, after years of prayers from Born against Christians and Evangelists, announced Tuesday that they would begin a pogrom to banish fellow Republicans who are anti-Semitic, anti-Islamic, anti-everyone and to ban speech rising out of racist hatred, demagoguery and demonization.
Illinois Republican Chairman Pat Brady announced that the Illinois Chapter of the Grand Old Party, long ago associated with the Ku Klux Klan in the south, would begin by singling out Republican Senatorial candidate Andy Martin, who, Brady admitted, has no chance in hell of being elected to anything in Illinois, though he does qualify to host a talk show on the FOX Cable News Network.
Martin, Brady said, called his opponent in the Illinois GOP Senate contest scheduled for Feb. 2, a "homo," which is an old person's term for a Gay man or woman, although most Republicans said they have no problem with Lesbian women now that former Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter has come out of the closet and announced she was a Lesbian, too.
(Cheney nearly had a heart attack when she announced her sexuality, but he later recovered after learning he had misheard his daughter and she was NOT Lebanese.)
Brady said that the GOP will not tolerate outbursts that are anti-Gay nor will they accept other racist demonizations, pointing out that 25 years ago Martin had once questioned the Holocaust and referred to a judge who criticized his legal filings as "an Old Jew."
The Chicago Tribune, helping to provide Brady with some facts that he couldn't cite himself, reported on their story Tuesday.
The Tribune wrote: "In federal court filings from the 1980s related to bankruptcy proceedings against him, Martin called one federal judge a "crooked, slimy Jew, who has a history of lying and thieving common to members of his race."To emphasize the crime, the Chicago Tribune also noted, "He also expressed sympathy to the perpetrators of the Holocaust."
A spokesperson for Kirk refused to comment, saying only, "I'm just appawled at the nast-tee-ness of Mr. Martin, a hunk of a man who should be nicer to gerbils and Jews. We have no comment except to saay-yah to Mr. Mark, 'You Go Girl'!" He then snapped his fingers three times in the air to emphasize his point.
No one in the media wanted to hear Martin's response that he was merely quoting a popular right-wing conservative radio talk show host and businessman Jack Roeser on the voice of conservatism, WIND Radio.
Fortunately, a sleepy Tribune Editor accidentally left in a paragraph in their story supporting Martin's claims that he was merely repeating what he had been told by other conservative Republicans, although the paper, standing by its policy to always take political sides in Republican inter-party wars, did not quote Martin:
The Tribune reported, "On the WIND broadcast, Roeser criticized several Republicans for their support of gay rights and said of Kirk "a solid rumor is that he himself is homosexual," according to a podcast on Roeser's Web site."Media pundits speculated that Roeser was trying to say that there is a "hard rumor" not a solid rumor and was misquoted.
The crackdown is expected to continue and sweep through the closet of full-time race-baiting bigots in the rightwing media, although an insider source said "it might not begin until sometime, maybe later, when time has passed and hell has frozen over and possibly, who knows, whatever!"
Among potential next targets of this amazing miraculous Republican Crackdown on hate speech are expected to be:
Michelle Malkin
Sean Hannity
Ann Coulter
Rush Limbaugh
Glenn Beck
GOP leaders were quick to point out though that anti-Semitism, Holocaust revisionism, perennial candidacies and gay-bashing should not be confused with Islamophobia, anti-Arab bigotry, Muslim-bashing and other "badly needed weapons in the arsenal against Ay-rab terrorism."
Palestinians were quick to give Andy Martin a speaking time at their "Save What's Left of the Hamas Gaza Strip" rallies being organized all over the world, is six cities.
