The racist tirade, which shockingly invokes the words of Margaret Meade, starts around six minutes into this violence inciting speech by a talk show host I'd never heard of before.

A while back, I mentioned these hate-filled loons in Kansas who were harassing a hotel owner because he was flying a rainbow flag—Pandagon has an excellent summary of the contretemps—in short, he had the flag in memory of his son, the local paper talked up the association of the rainbow with gays,…

So she advocates for the "will of the people"--unless the vote doesn't go her way, in which case she advocates taking up guns. Obviously the woman is irony-impaired. Speaking of irony, the Target sign makes a great backdrop.

"God Bless America" - Were there ever any more meaningless words uttered?

What is just as bad is the idea that unless we do X, then there is no hope left.

"God Bless America" - Were there ever any more meaningless words uttered?

Joyce Kaufman is an ex-dancer turned radio talk show host. She is well-known as a polarizing, ultra conservative, and many think a racist. The candidate she is promoting in the video is Allen West, who offered her the position of Chief of Staff. She declined.

She began to show support for the Tea Party candidate, Allen West many months before the election and had him as a guest on her radio program many times. According to several publications in Florida he may have been under investigation by the Army for abusing a detainee, when he abruptly resigned. But regardless of the rumors, he won.
West was one of those Tea Party candidates endorsed by Sarah Palin. This has given rise to the question of West's judgment in first choosing Kaufman to be his chief of staff.

What shame this woman and her views bring upon America.
