Tea Party Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is off his ever-lovin’ rocker! In a town hall meeting in Palm Beach, West claimed he’s “heard” that there are “about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party.”
We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow

Much has been written about the shameful killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida. This article is not about his accused killer, George Zimmerman. Much has been written about him also. This article is about the unholy alliance that helped to create the ‘Stand Your Ground’ (or Castle Doctrine) laws that enabled George Zimmerman to get away with murder in Florida: The Koch Brothers, ALEC, and the NRA.

Well, it’s not exactly the political train wreck we’ve come to know as the Koch-financed Tea Party, but we’re embracing this beautiful piece of film as a symbolic sign of what Progressives hope to accomplish this November.

For those of you not familiar with ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, they are a secretive group backed by the Koch Brothers and many of the country’s largest corporations. Their modus operandi is to write what’s called “model legislation,” which is almost always pro-business and anti-public good, and which is then filtered out to state legislatures through ALEC affiliated politicians.

Tea Party darling and South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley is no friend to her fellow woman. In fact, she’s a traitor to all American women who are under assault from the GOP’s war on women. While peddling her new book, “Can’t Is Not An Option,” this week, Haley told the women on The View, “Women don’t care about contraception, they care about jobs and their families,” in response to a question about women’s rights.

The right-wing’s hate mongering of President Obama’s religion, race and political philosophy has grown to a fever pitch, and is now evidenced in a series of paintings from a Utah artist, the latest of which is up for sale for $300,000 and is titled “One Nation Under Socialism” depicting Obama burning the United States Constitution. Sean Hannity of Fox News recently purchased one of the paintings.

We hear the same resounding observation from our readers almost every day: “the right has gone too far to the right.” We see it quite often on our Facebook page through former Republicans who freely admit to jumping ship and embracing a more moderate approach over the extremist conservative actions and views concerning women, social programs, race, or their blatant championing of the wealthy over average citizens. But, just how far right has the right gone?

Tea Party obstructionist and Republican Congressman Steve King (R-IA) doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to be a municipal garbage man, much less a United States congressman, but thanks to misinformed conservatives, the man sits on Capitol Hill and continues to utter some of the most insane crap I’ve ever heard from an elected official…and that’s saying a lot given the current crop of right-wing loonies.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is currently facing a massive recall campaign and some of his closest political advisers and former associates are being charged left and right over ethics violations. Along with Walker, several high-profile Wisconsin Republican politicians are also facing recall. But how did we get here?

An online company called Stumpy’s Stickers that appears to be located in Arkansas is catching a lot of fire today after one of their many questionable anti-Obama stickers went viral on social media. The company features a few apparently racist designs including one of a chimp with the slogan “Obama ’12.”

Everyone knows that the Koch brothers have bankrolled front groups like Americans for Prosperity, helped to finance the faked grassroots Tea Party movement, and have tried to pollute our Democracy with shadow groups like ALEC, and controlling politicians like Gov. Scott Walker in a war against public employees and unions. But did you know David Koch can sing? With a little electronic help, anyway.

CNN host Piers Morgan had a heated exchange with guest Michele Bachmann this week, with the former Presidential candidate calling Morgan “rude” for suggesting that she was judgmental.

Aaaaahh it’s primary season for the GOP! With spring bearing down on America, you can almost hear chirping sparrows nesting and flowers blossoming. Almost. You can’t because they are drowned out by the cacophony of the Republican Party’s culture wars.

Controversial Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio just held a news conference where he claims there is proof that President Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent and called for an investigation. Arpaio was presenting preliminary results of an investigation by a “cold-case posse” of Tea Party members.

Those who have followed Veracity Stew for the past couple of years and read my posts know that I have had public battles with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart. But I am shocked at the news this morning that Andrew died in Los Angeles early this morning from “natural causes.”
