I thought I was dreaming last night when I stumbled across one of the craziest things I have ever seen!!! I know Dick Armey is a crook, but in no way did I ever expect this fool would attempt to steal something so close to my heart! This fool Dick Armey and his Freedomworks Gang have sponsored their very own Faux Rapper!!! Hi-Caliber??? The Astroturf Rapper??? The TeaBaggers Rapper??? How did I miss this???
Hip-Hop is from the streets!!! Hip-Hop, although it is now exploited to the fullest, IS a Grassroots Movement so should I be surprised that conservatives want to tap into the power of Hip-Hop music? Of course not! I love Hip-Hop!!! I live Hip-Hop!!! I always have!!! So when I see this dude Hi-Caliber performing at TeaBagger rallies two things really stand out to me... One, would a real Hip-Hop head be rapping to a crowd that has a bunch of old people with no rhythm dancing and holding up signs with Obama as Hitler or Obama as the Witch Doctor? And two, these TeaBaggers don't see any hypocrisy in dancing off beat to a rap song while holding up signs with Obama as Hitler or Obama as the Witch Doctor!!!
How is it that Hi-Caliber the TeaBaggin Rapper can get all of this publicity? This guy is on the radio!!! This guy is funded by Freedomworks!!! Dick Armey is paying for this guys videos!!! How come real rappers like Macarone, with a positive progressive political message can't get any play with some of the Liberal Media??? While this joke can grab the mic and scream about how he is a "proud right-wing extremist", hmmm...
Check out Hi-Caliber & Freedom Works VS Macarone & WATCH OUT for the GOP and tell us what you think.

Now that the long slog on health-care reform is over and the fight over financial reform is about to start...Will the GOP continue it's unprincipled opposition to ANYTHING proposed by the Democrats in Congress?
Perhaps. Sen Bob Corker (R-TN), openly lamented the failure of the GOP to make any meaningful input to the financial reform legislation that passed out of the Senate Banking Committee. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) And Jim Webb (D-VA) ignored GOP leadership when if forbade a hearing on the military health system. Maine's Senators, Snowe and Collins broke from the GOP herd on same gender marriage. Does this mean that the grown-ups have finally stood up and re-asserted their control? In a word, no.
With David Frum, former Bush speech writer being sacked from his position at the American Enterprise Institute for suggesting that the GOP leadership basically stepped on its collective dick, would indicate otherwise. This for saying that the GOP stance on the health-care reform, now the law of the land, was Waterloo...for the GOP. Oh, and let's not forget, in his interview with ABC, Frum said that the GOP was working for FOX News.
Ideological purity trumps realistic assessment. In their silent acquiescence to the vitriolic rhetoric from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks of the country, the GOP has painted itself into a rhetorical corner. The GOP can't be seen as negotiating with the born-in-Kenya, communist/socialist/nazi, isn't-really-president Barack Obama. To do so would result in an immediate backlash from the right wing-nut noise machine...which is following an agenda that has more to do with ratings than the good of the country...And its equally rabid audience. Never mind that the audience has been misinformed by the same RWN noise machine.
Instead of doing the right thing and working for the American people, the GOP is going down the rabbit hole with the red-meat, lunatic fringe...now mainstreamed by American media outlets, including FOX Noise...And reflexively opposing anything offered up by the Obama White House or congressional Democrats. The scorched earth politics of the GOP will continue. The GOP leadership will continue to take its direction from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks of the American right. The grown ups will remain seated quietly in the background whilst the children run amok.
And here's a sign to put up around O'Reilly's studio when prostitute toe sucker comes around.
Kinda like "Dick in a Box." Or masturbation. It's just not the same. I hope Jim is just doing some sleep-depravation-deficit-reduction or has a $$$$$ gig this week that pays better that the Stephanie Miller Poverty Newscast International.
