The haters of the Christianist and Klan base of today's Republican Party are going to great lengths to demonize Barack Obama and depict him as "foreign" and "un-American." It's all a lie, of course, but then no group lies more than the self-absorbed, self-righteous false Christian set. Via Pam's House Blend, I found a post on KansasParie.net which underscores just how disgusting and untrue these anti-Obama lies have become. The story of Obama's maternal grandparents (pictured below) doesn't get much more American. Here are some highlights:

Barack OBama’s “white side” seems to be overlooked and I find them quite interesting, particularly his mother and grandmother who raised him. I would have liked knowing them. The girl [in the photo] is Stanley Ann Dunham (mother of Barack Obama) who is shown with her parents, Stanley Dunahm and Madelyn Payne Dunham. Madelyn Dunham was the nurturing grandmother who was figured significantly in his early life.
*
“Madelyn Payne, was born in the oil boomtown of Augusta, to stern Methodist parents who did not believe in drinking, playing cards or dancing. She was one of the best students in the graduating class of 1940. And, in ways that would foretell the flouting of conventions by her daughter Stanley Ann, Madelyn was different.”
*
“When World War II came, Stanley enlisted in the Army. Madelyn became a Rosie-the-Riveter at Boeing Co.’s B-29 production plant in Wichita. And Stanley Ann Dunham arrived in late November 1942.” “The Dunhams were full-time working parents, renters and strugglers in pursuit of the next opportunity. After the war, Madelyn worked in restaurants while Stanley managed a furniture store on Main Street in El Dorado.”

With each passing day I have a lower regard for the GOP and its increasingly vile base.
