And does that constitute an indictment of "centrism"? An accidental acknowledgement of the bigotry and malice living large at the political center? How about "...at the center of REPUBLICAN politics." That seems to work a little better.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-33629947393438061532016-06-24T10:08:13.810-05:002016-06-24T10:08:13.810-05:00I have a particular seething ire for the grifting ...I have a particular seething ire for the grifting Christofascists due to my family of origin being subsumed into the Borg hive mind of their nasty fetid racist bigoted homophobic sexist shit. They are all Pharisees, who should have to face all the tortures available in Dante's Inferno. Lying scumbags hell-bent on perverting their "flocks" and fleecing them dry. Shitheels.<br /><br />Of particular ire to me are the cultist Graham family, whom Gerson highlights the skeevy conniving ratbag sonny-boy:<br /><br /><i>Franklin Graham now argues that because Abraham lied, Moses disobeyed God and David committed adultery, Trump should get a pass, not just on his personal behavior but also on his deception, cruelty and appeal to bigotry. It is a non sequitur revealing the cynical subordination of faith to politics...</i><br /><br />Big Daddy Billy was equally a bilious bigoted racist anti-semitic shitbag, but Gerson neglects to mention that factiod. Graham Pere was BFFs with R Milhous Nixon and passed on all of his grifting fugly skeevy traits to his nere-do-well drugging philandering son, who has more recently "seen the light" of what a great grift Big Daddy got going on, so stepped right in to take over and count the money.<br /><br />Of course, Graham shoved his beak so far up Republican Trump's heiney that it took a long time to pull it out. This is no more & no less yet another day ending in "y" for the Graham Grifters. Absolutely no surprise to me there. <br /><br />Ditto for all the rest of those sleazy lying disgusting Christofascist grifters. Their only motto is: show me the money! And if it involves inflicting pain and suffering on someones??
