She put up a post about May 1 being “Loyalty Day” in America. The usual chucklenuts chimed in to bash everything to the left of Torquemada, and it seemed that all would be well in Wingnutistan…until this comment by one Bruce Tyson appeared:

Yeah right. Now let’s try to mainstream this little known holiday. Also, let’s castrate those who think that demanding loyalty is not necessarily a good thing.
Consider this: we have one of the most oppressive, brutal, invasive, and wasteful governments that has ever been known to mankind. Does Loyalty Day call for loyalty to the Federal Government or does it call for loyalty to the USA as the USA is described in the Constitution of the United States?
I think most people probably consider loyalty to be to the USA as it is now, not loyalty to a Constitution that has been progressively shredded since the 1860’s.
As for me, I do not consent to the illegal and un-Constitutional government that now oppresses us. I do, however, remain loyal to the Constitution.
Wow. A two-fer. Openly fascist (”castrate those who think demanding loyalty is not necessarily a good thing.”) AND nakedly racist (”a Constitution that has been progressively shredded since the 1860s.”). Bruce, you do realize that rolling back the Constitution to where it was in the 1860s would reinstate slavery, right?
Alright, Michelle. In “honor” of the (double) standard that Sen. Obama is being held to for the most tangential of associations with anyone — particularly in the African-American community — who has the slightest cloud of controversy hanging over him/her by wingnuts and the media (but I repeat myself), here’s a little test for you. Do you renounce and denounce Bruce? Do you disown and decry him? Do you spurn, shun, malign, vilify and hope birds poop on him? If you don’t, then we can only assume that you heartily endorse every single word he has ever written in any of his past lifetimes.
After all, fair’s fair.
