Cognitive Dissonance and the Right Wing Echo Chamber

[UKRider]

The Democrats were never the party of the KKK. White Conservative Christians in the Democratic party are who you speak of and since they held seats longer than most (inbred political families) they held seats longer and rose to powerful Chairmanship/Leadership roles.

They supported the Democratic party.

“Why would Democrats skip over their own history from 1848 to 1900?” Barton asked. “Perhaps because it’s not the kind of civil rights history they want to talk about – perhaps because it is not the kind of civil rights history they want to have on their website.”

KKK's 1st targets were Republicans

Civil Rights was a term that was later championed by the Democratic party. Party's change with membership. The Slave Holding Crackers, their dumb-as-dirt fellow Southerners who didn't hold slaves, but held a hatred for them all stayed in the party of Presidents Madison/Jefferson/Jackson. The Democratic party of that time was conservative.

Racism and Jim Crow were conservative vales and it were Liberals in both major parties who championed civil rights. Not Democrats versus Republicans, but Conservatives versus Liberalis

^^ Yada, yada.

The KKK voted for the Democratic party en masse.

but we digress

You can't get around name calling and messenger shooting can you?

OK

WTF are all you lib kooks whining about, NOW?

Christ, Obama wants, and planned sequestration, Woodward exposed it.....And it looks as though he's going to get it, so, WTF are you pissing and moaning about?

Oh, that's right, you're fuckin' lib kooks.....neeeeever miiiiiiiind.

Obama never wanted the sequester to happen. The GOP wants it to go through.

The GOP sponsored the sequester law in the US House and then passed it. Most everyone at the time agreed it was a trigger mechanism meant to keep people sane,.

Instead the GOP became unhinged after the 2012 election and is now ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater

The KKK went to church too. They ate apple pie. Did the Democratic party platform support bigotry and racism? Look who was in charge: White Southern Christian Crackers. No liberals there.

Ever since Obamacare was ruled constitutional, the right wing has been all over the place with it's message(s). Used to the the right wing dictated what would lead during any news cycle. Now what they lead with is a whine of confusion.

We now have the the sequester battle, and it's all just one big Ball of Confusion, but remember, not to take things out of context. FOX News was stunned over the 2012 election and they simply imbecilic on the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare. In 2010 after the Tea Party shot it's load, the GOP took the kooks in with open arms only to find out it's now the tail waging the dog. They GOP has been in disarray since GW Bush, and their last hurrah was 2010.

What the GOP needs now is a new message that resonates with the electorate outside of the whacko base, and real leaders who see a big tent and not a meeting of a clan. Instead what they are left with is alarmist hysteria and demagogues.

What will happen after the sequester goes into effect and the right wing base gets angrier and screeches even louder as what they say is no big deal turns out to be a big deal for 1014? I predict the GOP will suffer only slightly but will become more fragmented. Since GW Bush the GOP has had a difficult time connecting with the people and reality.

2014 can't come soon enough. Cognitive dissonance in a party message has been hilariously entertaining for the past 4 years,

When you think about it it seems the cognitive dissonance is resonating on the left. Why else would they whine about an administration that just won the election?

messenger shooting? wnd is disreputable. It is not about killing the messenger it about exposing crazy batshit messages from places like wnd. Most people realize that site is cuckoo-4-cocoa-puffs

The conservative agenda that puts God and family values above the rights of criminals and lazy welfare leeches are not principles that will be abandoned. Conservatives are true patriots and always will be. Only liberals sell out to the highest bidder.

Who told you that libs put the rights of criminals and welfare leeches above the rights of everyone else, including family rights and religioius rights? Why would you believe such nonsense?

How many times have we seen liberals marching outside a prison protesting the execution of a convicted murderer? How many abortion clinics have they demanded be closed? How many times have liberals sided with welfare leeched over hard working Americans? Liberals support unions that forbid firing lazy and non productive employees. Liberals never support the rights of American business owners. Liberals believe only workers and consumers have rights but what about the rights of businesses to make a profit? The list is endless of the un American beliefs of liberals and is more proof of the conservative's undying patriotism.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now the context and meaning has changed.

notice Dante never denied the ages ago KKK infested the democratic party, and that the White Southern Conservative Crackers held power in the Democratic party for years after. The GOP later welcomed the bigots and racist in with open arms and developed a cynical Southern Strategy to win elections. That is a distinction with a huge difference.

below is the other context...

Such movements often take generational change. The Democrats were the party of the KKK and they are now the party of the disenfranchised.

Generational changes are massive things and the Democrats are riding the ebbing flow of the sixties/seventies generational wave. The Republicans are riding the forties/fifties wave and have some serious soul searching to do with regards to modernization of their party platform but they're having a hard enough time dealing with the Norquist pledge which does not bode well for 2016 imo.

The worst recovery from a recession since The Great Depression is what Barack Obama will have as his legacy, Wry. His lack of understanding of economics in general and the Private Sector in particular have led to four years of lackluster recovery with us teetering on the verge of yet another recession.

That's your opinion. Others believe there are more causes for the effect you blame solely on Obama. The clash of ideology, the world wide economy, the economic and foreign policy legacy of the Bush Administration are only a few.

Well at least Oldstumpy has one thing correct. He recognizes what GW Bush left Obama to clean up into the context of the Great Depression

Obama is going to nationalize the evening news. You know this is fact because you want to believe it.

Obama is not going to nationalize the evening news. He doesn't have to. He has them wiping his butt for him. Most of them are just as left wing screwy as he is.

 

[Erand7899]

There's an American expression that fits your post rather nicely, Oldguy...it's "horseshit".

This President hasn't had a clue what he's doing since his bony ass hit that chair in the Oval Office but it's always the Republican's fault. He can't pass a budget? It's the Republican's fault! Unemployment is at the same high level as when he took office and now projected to go higher? It's the Republican's fault! The price of gas headed back towards $4 a gallon once again? It's those darned Republicans! His Middle East policy in tatters and an American Ambassador killed? Republicans! Iran building a nuke and laughing at our feeble attempts to stop them? Republicans! A health care "fix" that's going to raise costs and lower the quality of services while it bankrupts the country? Republicans!

Tell me why it was we ever elected this guy in the first place...let alone REELECTED him? He's totally unprepared for the task at hand...always has been...and judging from what I'm seeing now...always will be.

Those who rob Peter to pay Paul, can always count on Paul's vote.
That's how obama was reelected. He promised to rob Peter even more, and secure forever the right not to work but live lives of comfort.

No he didn't. The fact that you constantly lie is why you have zero cred.

No he didn't what? Do you even know? Obama has done everything in his power to raise taxes on the rich. Do you deny that? Obama has done everything in his power to expand those receiving benefits from the federal government. Do you deny that?

Obama has calculated, probably correctly, that if he can get enough of the electorate dependent upon government, he can ensure liberal Democrat control of the government until the whole house collapses of its own weight. Elections will become bidding wars, as each party attempts to outbid the other on the benefits offered. Democrats will always win such a bidding war.

There's a nice German word which neatly sums up the GOP since Obama was first elected...schadenfreude. It means to take pleasure from the trouble of others.

Isn't that exactly what they do? They take real pleasure in causing the President trouble. They take real pleasure in inventing conspiracy theories they can link him to. They take real pleasure in reviling poor people, welfare recipients, illegal immigrants, liberals, progressives, marxists, Democrats, blacks, women, even children. They take real pleasure in torpedoing the future of America by clinging bitterly to an unyielding, rigid, mean-spirited, bigoted ideology.

Schadenfreude--The motto of the 21st century Republican.

I remember us talking about what a dullard the last POTUS appeared to be even after he got re-elected. The fans of said POTUS (of which I'm sure you're one) would tell us "Well, if he's so stupid, how did he beat you Libs?", or something of that nature.

Welcome to the shoe being on the other foot. That guy who you claim doesn't have a clue is playing the opposition like a fiddle. Now suck it up while we laugh.

Your conclusion may be correct, but as Dante pointed out the GOP message is both alarmist (hate and fear) and demagoguery. Both wear thin in the face of reality and even those districts cut out to be safe for Republicans in 2000 may very well come into play in 2014. Households split in 2012, more women voted for The President and that trend will remain unabated as long as the GOP continues to support guns and work to deny a women's right to choose. I suspect many Hispanics see through the efforts by the GOP to once again pretend their party is a big tent. A few tokens does not make a sea change.

Such movements often take generational change. The Democrats were the party of the KKK and they are now the party of the disenfranchised.

Generational changes are massive things and the Democrats are riding the ebbing flow of the sixties/seventies generational wave.

There's nothing wrong with saying the Democrats were the party of the KKK. The operative word here, though, is WERE.
