Stupid Republican idea of the day

[Merijeek]

But the best one was:

"Russell is a hero! While many of us bigots realize that we are a dying lot, and that we should keep our old-fashioned and ignorant opinions to ourselves, Russell speaks out loudly, and proudly, for racists and bigots that are in the closet and too afraid to make their opinions known. Go Russell!"

Expect him to be reelected in a landslide next election.

What, no blankets?

 

[stolichnaya]

True dat. This guy is a genius.

 

[Frostillicus]

From here.



Penn and Teller are like NAZIS, yo.

You know who liked magic shows?


HITLER!

 

[Gangster Octopus]

Now, now, we haven't even discussed the GOP's alternate budget proposal:

I was dismayed at the Thomas Kincaide report cover.

 

[NurseCarmen]

These ideas intentionally left blank.

 

[acsenray]

Who the hell knew the names of the members of the Bangles, even when they were popular?

 

[Equipoise]

Apparently not. shock!

Edit to add a *laugh* at Boyo Jim's post.

Scuffle Ensues when Neo-Nazis Unfurl Hitler Flag at Tea Party Rally (Video at link)

So it's ok for the teabaggers to use Nazi imagery (though maybe not at this particular racist rally), but when real (wannabe) Nazis show up, that's not good. "They're racist, we're not racist" *laugh*

The funny thing is the other story linked right after that one.

Ezell Harris, Tea Party Candidate, Arrested On Drug Charges

Jail records show he is being held on four counts: trafficking in hydrocodone, dispensing illegal drugs without a license, unlawful use of a two-way radio, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In his campaign platform, Harris said: "Prescription drugs have replaced cocaine and other illicit substances as the leading cause of drug abuse deaths in Florida, a new study says. Despite this, the state has no prescription drug monitoring program, and the authors of the study say Florida must do more to curb the abuse of legal medication ... The report makes it clear that lax oversight is allowing Florida's legal drug abuse problem to grow out of control."

It's like they don't even try anymore...

 

[acsenray]

It seems like a reference to stereotyped portrayals of black people in movies and stuff.

 

[Boyo Jim]

Were they always this crazy? Or was I just not paying attention?

The latter. In the past, though, they were more comfortable crazies, and generally spoke with well-modualted voices, giving the appearance of sanity. Now they're getting desperate and more shrill, and hence they sound crazier.

 

[Maus Magill]

... wait whut?


... black man is dark meat? Soylent Possum is made out of chicken!

Seriously, the racism accusation over that makes no sense.

I'd always heard that possum was the other white meat.

 

[Ludovic]

The blankets are cursed.

Florida GOP chair: Obama trying to 'indoctrinate' children

From the article: "The chairman of the Republican Party of Florida on Tuesday issued a statement to 'condemn President Obama's use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America's children to his socialist agenda.'"

Also from the article: "The White House has said the president would be urging students to '(take) responsibility for their success in school.'"

Why, that evel socialist-communist-nazi rat bastard!

Are we going to put up with our children taking responsibility for their success in school? Like all those socialists do? Fuck no, I say. We want our children to advance through their scholastic lives like all right thinking Americans do ... throught their fathers' connections.

Who's with me here. Get the fucking pitchforks and torches.

Regulating the First Lady

What the hell? So, they don't like Michelle's supporting girls in high school, vegetable gardens or military families? Or they just want to know what she's doing in advance so protesters can show up? What is the "historic role of the first lady" anyway? Have they ever heard of Eleanor Roosevelt? I know that criticizing the First Lady isn't off-limits, but legislating her behavior? Why are Republicans so eager to look so fucking stupid?

I think the issue they have is that she is not a "traditional" first lady as they think would be proper, in the sense that she has an education, a law career, isn't afraid to speak her mind, and worst of all, she is a Democrat.

 

[Really Not All That Bright]

Liberals are at fault for delusional GOPers:
Eric Cantor Rips Chris Matthews, MSNBC, HuffPo, Liberal Bloggers For Inflating Birther Story

On some level I have to respect cojones like those. You got some grapefruits there, Senor Cantor.

 

[elucidator]

Hell, give 'em a dose of overkill! Stream the meetings online, with transcripts published daily. They want transparency? We'll swamp them with transparency! Of course, we'll expect the same from them, its only fair, after all....

 

[jsgoddess]

We're out of fucking pitchforks. You'll get the forking pitchforks AND LIKE IT.

 

[NurseCarmen]

It saddens me that the Republican party is losing so many of their herd. I watch discovery channel enough to know that culling the weak from the herd makes the herd stronger.

 

[Captain Carrot]

Given that he wrote A National Party No More a few years ago, I don't think he's very smart at all.
