I'm going to save this for all my teabagger family members.

Exception of one cousin my age in the rural midwest who cut off all communications with me when I asked him to stop forwarding all the Obama-hate emails. This video is hilarious, and I'd be tempted to send him a link to it, but such would only strengthen his resolve to expand his hateful campaign. But his song does describe the white-centrist construct my half-creek grandmother warned me about long ago.
Being the caregiver for many of my older relatives not long before their hospitalization, nursing care and demise, I've seen the truth of the curse placed upon the white man long ago for their crimes. It screws their faces up in a permanent scowl until their demise. Trapped in a hateful cyclone they can no longer control after practicing that. My own father, who long rejected his native blood for this RW white-centrist ideology, is so sadly angry, lost, incapable of escaping his hateful cycle simply because he practiced it continually for years. I hate Fox News. He tuned in and wouldn't shut it off. He took their white-centric rants one step further into absolute delirium, turned worse than a tantrum-throwing child every time he saw our commander in chief on the television. He still lives in a delusional state that his WWII generation will all arise, the Tea Party will conquer and prevail and bring back the 1940's all over again. His slurred speech now hard to decipher in his nursing home bed, but I recognize the banter he's trying to spout as more of the same. It is the sad end of a WWII veteran who got wound up in hate.
I can admire, somewhat, his tenacious resolve, but can never respect it. I've seen it time and again in the family members I've cared for. I "tolerate" it, only knowing they won't be around long. I'll be happy the day he doesn't wake up and the nightmare for him and us offspring is done.
But I'm always glad to get back to work in hospitals where cultural diversity largely prevails, I get to once again see and care for everyone, and only be exposed to Fox News in short snippets in some other hateful patient's room.

What a way to wind down life, where one's last thoughts are of hate. I couldn't imagine feeling that way with what little time one has left. What a waste.

as an OP in GD. I really like your writing style.

Sorry to hear about your father but that is what listening to Fox News will do to a person. My own father likes Fox but he hasn't become a hateful ranter like your dad. (He parrots a lot of the stupid things he hears on Fox but he isn't too far gone----yet.) He's 83 by the way.
I blame Fox News and talk radio for poisoning the minds of millions of --mostly older--Americans. I have seen too many decent people become bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic haters due to listening to right-wing media. It corrupts people's hearts and minds. It's always an "us vs them" theme. On the one side is White, patriotic, straight, Christian America and on the other are the evil minorities, feminists, gays, secularist, etc who are all hell-bent on destroying America and turning it into a Islamist, Marxist, non-White country---or some such BS. People without critical thinking skills lap up this nonsense and they become hateful, paranoid bigots. Sad but true.
My hope is in the upcoming generation. They are much more progressive and open than their elders ever were. This country WILL turn around but it will take having the older, more brainwashed population to die off. That's just the reality. Those that yearn for the 1950's will not change their minds. Society is changing and will continue to change. But the Right will fight it to the bitter end. That's just my 2 cents worth.

"People without critical thinking skills lap up this nonsense..."

That is so true. Good observation, and good post.

I read your post with interest. My father and step-mother used to forward anti-Obama (and anti-liberal and anti-Muslim) email garbage to me. Usually the "To:" list on those emails contained a ridiculous number of recipients (~30 or more). For the anti-Obama emails, it was usually a simple of matter of going to Snopes.com to discover that the ridiculous claim in the email was false. Whenever I discovered such, I would reply to the email with a link to the relevant Snopes page. Unfortunately, facts don't seem to matter to people who hate. I remember one particular anti-Muslim email that contained a list of extremely offensive "You may be a Muslim" "jokes" mimicking the style of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck" jokes. In fact, the jokes in the email were attributed to Foxworthy. The person who created the email even included Foxworthy's photo. I didn't think Foxworthy would make such jokes, and sure enough, Snopes.com confirmed Foxworthy had nothing to do with them. I replied to the email with a link to the relevant Snopes page. My father wrote an angry reply to me saying he didn't "give a flying flip" who wrote the jokes, and went on to vent his hatred of all Muslims. Anti-Muslin jokes aside, my father didn't seem to grasp the idea that there was a problem with the originator of the email falsely attributing the jokes to Foxworthy, that he (my father) should view with suspect any idea or information originated by someone who starts off with a lie.

Great voice and very funny.

should be " 'Murkin."
