I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke!

Oh Lord! It is utterly incomprehensible that conservatives would ever have the nerve to wonder why they can’t beat the black guy – or win any election that really matters. I suppose no one ever accused the Tea Party of being the brightest bulbs in the pack.

The truth is, it took the magnitude of a nine out of nine 2012 presidential battleground states loss to get the GOP to be able to spell the word “introspective,” much less practice it. But then, after just two short months of reflection, they returned to their wanton political ways.

Former Left, Right and You co-host Tim Elenz and I were discussing this very topic on last week’s radio show as I was predicting the Democrats would retain the Senate, Tim asked if, in light of Mike Huckabee’s failed gynecological verbal gymnastics, could conservatives manage to keep their mouths shut long enough to actually win in November.

Of course, my simple answer was “no!” and I just love it when folks who find me a bit subversive go out of their to prove me right. Because the general right-wing reaction to a silly Super Bowl commercial is just another nail in the rapidly closing conservative coffin.

Apparently a number of multicultural individuals singing “American the Beautiful” in their native tongue was far too much for perpetually persecuted and frightened white folks to bear.

The conservative blogosphere immediately went nuts, tea partiers everywhere swore off Coca-Cola products, Rush Limbaugh had a severe seizure, and a Breitbart.com commentator, whom I won’t deign to mention, lamented that multiculturalism was being “rammed down our throats.”
