There was a period of inactivity following the Germany invasion of Poland in 1939 that is known as "the Phony War." Today, we are living in the Age of the Phony Crisis. The Dumbo/Teabagger racists are soooooooooo desperate for a means to reverse the elections of 2008 and 2012 and remove the unwelcome and unwhite occupant of the White House. It is the Return of the Redeemers. Dumbo/Teabagger racism is as obvious as their stupidity. Why don't they wear their hooded white robes in public and dispel all doubt? Enough dog-whistling code-talk, Dumbos and Teabaggers! Speak the N-word aloud that you whisper among yourselves. If this is a (fair & balanced) indictment of Dumbo/Teabagger hypocrisy, so be it.
