Here’s a quick summary of right wing blog commentary heading into yesterday’s Aboriginal Day of Action:

Oh, my God…terrorists threatening us! How DARE they do whatever awful things we’re sure they’re going to do? Mommy! SCARY INDIANS!! HELP!!!

So the day happens. No violence. No confrontations. Peaceful meetings, demonstrations and workshops across Canada. Limited blockades, no arrests.

And of course, the righties are appropriately thankful for the peaceful resolution…

“…the fact that the Natives were too lazy to actually do anything in Ontario is quite symbolic… Say what you will about Osama, but at least when he says he’s gonna blow up westerners, he doesn’t call it off in the end to go outside of his cave and have a cigarette!”

Now THERE’S sophisticated analysis for you. Sigh. Just no pleasing some folks, I guess.

UPDATE:

Like Jim Bobby said, I just touched the tip of the iceberg. Here’s another gem, from one of our best professional hatemongers (of pretty much everything not white and Conservative, as far as I can tell…)

“This Friday will mark the Native Day of Action(tm) here in Canada. It’s their chance to whine and complain that us white guys who pay 45% in income tax to support their smoking, drinking and daughter-fucking are ripping them off….I have no sympathy for the plight of the Natives, any more than I do for the Palestinians. In both cases they have the choice to get the hell off the rez, become fully-functioning, voting members of democratic society, but instead they choose to live in concentration camps, hands out to the government, ever ready with a complaint on their lips for the shoddy treatment they chose for themselves. Shut up and get to work, losers. You can bang the drum (not a euphemism for daughters) on the weekends.”

Don’t miss the comments, where self-proclaimed spokesperson for the Religion of Love, Prolapsed Catholic Shaidl, proudly declares her right to “hate who she wants”. Right Girl responds:

I do hate, a lot. But not the Natives. They repulse me in their ways, but I don’t hate them. I simply do not respect them. Respect is something you have to earn. Most natives have never earned a bloody thing in their miserable lives.
