FacePalm of the Week: Dan Quayle’s Son Makes a YouTube Video

Posted on 12 August 2010 by Kriss

I come back from a vacation in the Dominican Republic and I’m trying to find a way to ease myself back into writing about the every day fuckery and I come across this political ad from Ben Quayle…son of former Vice President Dan Quayle.  I think this piece of shit fits the “Just enough Fuckery” threshold.

When George H. Bush was in office there was this joke that about how “Behind every Bush there’s a Quayle”.  And look how true that is.  8 years of George H Bush’s son completely running this country into the ground and now Dan Quayle’s son is back to rewrite history and pretend everything is President Obama’s fault.

As was said on Morning Joe, the first problem with this video (besides the content) is that Ben Quayle looks like he’s making a hostage video.  Like someone is hold a gun to his head and he should be holding today’s newspaper as proof of life.  It seems that Ben Quayle has a personality deficiency that rivals John Kerry.  And then there’s the content.  So why is Barack Obama the worst president in history?  Oh well let’s look at Quayle’s points:

1.   “My generation will inherit a weakened country” – A massive recession due to Wall Street treating the economy like their giant credit card and two unpaid wars will do that to a country.  Oh did I mention…all that happened under the last President, George W. Bush.

2.  “Drug Cartels in Mexico” – Ummm, yeah…President Obama got elected and that’s when some Mexican Drug Lord was like “Hey, let’s start crossing the US border and selling drugs to the people over there.”  Yeah…uhh, no.  Mexican Drug cartels have been a problem for a while.  What Quayle really meant this as was a backhanded attempted at pointing out the Obama Administration’s “lack of action” when it comes to illegals.  Okay, forget that the Obama Administration has deported more illegals than any other administration.  Let’s remember this isn’t even 2 years into Obama’s first term.  So far, whether you like what he’s done or not, he’s addressed or started to address most of the major issues he said he would.  You know who had 8 years to address illegal immigration and didn’t?  George W. Bush.

3.  “Tax cartels in DC” – What the fuck is a tax cartel?  Oh he means the fact that the President and Democrats in Congress don’t want to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich and that somehow having the tax levels go back to what they used to be is a “massive tax increase.”  Right, this coming from the son of the Vice President of an Administration that promised “No New Taxes” and then…added more taxes.  “We have a credibility leak on aisle 6…credibility leak on aisle 6″

Ben Quayle asks “What happened to America?”  Well Ben, its simple really.  The American people trusted Republicans for decades and Republicans ran the country into the ground.  To be fair, Democrats were willing accomplices but the most egregious incidents came from Republicans.  Just in recent memory we have 2 unpaid for wars followed by tax cuts for the rich.  Yeah that’ll do some damage.

Quayle says he was raised “Right” and is going to Washington to clean things up.  Well I say we do a little test first.  First motherfucker, spell “potato” and then we’ll talk about how well you were raised.

This gets 6 Picard FacePalms but I reserve the right to increase that if this moron actually wins the primary.

Republicans Are Really THAT Crazy When It Comes To Immigration

Posted on 03 August 2010 by Kriss

Remember a while back when Representative Duncan Hunter, while giving a town hall, said he supported deportation of children born in American whose parents were illegal? I thought it was a crazy thing to say.  I mean sure their parents are illegal but those “anchor babies”, as these ignorant assholes like to call them, are by definition due to the 14th Amendment CITIZENS.   It was scary to me then that a sitting member of the House of Representatives would suggest something that is directly against the Constitution, especially a member of the party who whines day in and day out about the President not understanding the absoluteness of said Constitution.  But I wrote it off as just another nutcase House member.  There are a lot of those.  They can afford to be reckless with what they say because they only represent a relatively small district.  But now the Number 1 and Number 2 Senate Republicans have come out and said the same thing.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Jon Kyl have come out suggesting repealing or “reviewing” the 14th amendment to remove the “citizenship by birth” clause.  There’s only one thing I can say about this.

ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS?

Let’s forget for a moment how hypocritical it is for Republicans to be “For the Constitution before they were against it”.  Let’s just focus on the whole narrative the Republicans are trying to shape on this immigration debate.  They’re using fear and stereotypes to convince people to follow their asinine plans and let me tell you, judging from the polls on Arizona’s immigration laws, I can see it working.

Let me back up and explain my thoughts on illegal immigration.  Simply put, despite my writings, I’m not very sympathetic.  The law is the law and when you break it, I’m not going to shed a tear when it catches up to you.  In a perfect Utopia we’d have open borders and people could come and go as they please.  But we don’t live in that world.  I mean come on, there’s a reason why I needed to get a passport for my vacation coming up.  So when someone gets the boot because they didn’t do their due diligence and were trying to game the system, hey, they had it coming.  The emotional plea of “But they’ve been here so long, they have kids, blah blah blah” doesn’t play into it for me.  If their children were born here, they are obviously citizens but that doesn’t change the parent’s immigration status to me.  Rules are rules after all and while they say “rules are meant to be broken”, breaking rules has consequences.

Now that said, I have no problem with changing the law to make it easier for people to become citizens or having a “Path to citizenship” for people here illegally already.  I don’t view that as “amnesty” or “unfair to those who did it right” because a lot of these illegals have for the most part been productive members of our society so why not give them a path?  Of course a lot of people will choose to just continue to live life as illegal and that’s fine but again, that comes with the risk of being deported.

My problem with the way the GOP is addressing this illegal immigration situation is the fear and bigotry they are showing while doing it.  First off, this illegal immigration debate has become synonymous with “Illegal Mexicans.” There are a lot of illegals in this country that have jobs, buy houses, live regular, normal, “All-American” lives that people would never suspect.  This “anchor baby” thing would affect a lot more people than just Mexicans.  Do you realize how many people are born in this country and are citizens, whose parents weren’t?  Bobby Jindal, republican Governor of Louisiana would technically no longer be a citizen under this “review”.   I have friends that would technically not be citizens. I know people whose parents are illegal because they let a Visa expire, had children and now those children grow up as taxpaying regular every day American Citizens.   Is that still an “Anchor baby”?  Okay fine, you don’t want illegal immigrants here.  That’s cool, I can completely understand that.  But part of what makes America “AMERICA” is the fact that if you are born here, you are one of us.  That’s what makes this country great.  This country was built by immigrants/slaves and their children who were born on this land.  To now say that “Sorry, you were born here but you’re no longer a citizen” is just absurd.

And that’s what the GOP goes for.  The absurd.

I even support making English the official language.  But not out of some xenophobic fear that “dem Spanish speakers are takin over my country” but just because most countries have an official language and why not us?  English is what the majority of this country speaks so it can be the official language.  Now stupidity like what a candidate for Alabama’s governor suggested which was to print all state documents in English-Only was just absurd.  It’s like the GOP sees the line and drives a 18-wheeler over it.  Yes, English is our defacto language but it would be absurd to pretend that in this country of immigrants we could get away with only putting everything in English.  Of course when the GOP brings up lunacy like this they always forget we have ethnic groups like Orthodox Jews who don’t speak a drop of English.   But I guess we’ll make exceptions for them.

The GOP is now using the fear tactic of “Mexican Gangs” for why we need a fence and why laws like the Arizona one is needed and why the 14th amendment needs to be “reviewed”.  Again, nothing but fear.  “Mexican Gangs” aren’t concerned with the law.  So what do immigration laws have to do with them?  Arizona and some other states are saying they need these tough immigration laws to crack down on these wild Mexican gangs.  Really?  You have dangerous gang members and the best you can do to arrest them is “Can I see your papers?”  Come on.

The truth is this is just yet another example of republicans using fear and bullshit to keep the country from having a serious discussion on a serious issue.  They did the same thing with Race.  They did the same thing with Health Care Reform.  They are doing it now with Energy reform and here they are with immigration and doing it once more.  And it’s so transparent.  Republicans have every day people claiming that illegal Mexicans are ‘taking their jobs’ and driving their wages down but at the same time Republicans fight tooth and nail to not raise the minimum wage or extend unemployment benefits.  I swear it must be nice to be such blatant hypocrites and play both sides of an argument using fear and stereotypes and still sleep well at night.

Some People’s Opinions are Too Stupid to be Shared with the Public

Posted on 06 April 2010 by Kriss

shut-the-fuck-upIn the struggle to be “fair and balanced” and “show all sides of a debate”, I think we are doing a huge disservice to the public by not calling out people that are just plain wrong.  While I recognize that everyone has a right to their own opinion, if that opinion is logic devoid bullshit…that person should really just sip on a cup of “Shut the fuck up” and move on.  The media should definitely not oblige them by giving them a voice because while that idiotic view might represent “real Americans” it more often than not is steeped in fear and illogical bullshit that shouldn’t be allowed to prevail.

I bring up all this because I want to talk about Eric Erickson.  There was a big firestorm over CNN hiring the Redstate.com founder (I think he is right?).  Jon Stewart did a good job of breaking down the stupidity of CNN on this one.    CNN tried to defend their choice of adding Eric Erickson as a contributor as them “expanding their reach to include all views.”  Well, when those views include hateful rhetoric and bullshit, I’d ask that a “reputable news organization” leave that shit at the door.

So now that he’s “In the spotlight” Erickson said he would “tone it down.” Well, apparently we have a different definition of “Toned down.”  Last week on the radio Erickson said this about Census workers:

“What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I’m not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out my wife’s shotgun and see how that little ACS twerp likes being scared at the door. They’re not going on my property. They can’t do that. They don’t have the legal right, and yet they’re trying.”

Nice.  This is the kind of rhetoric and bullshit CNN is promoting by allowing Erickson to be contributor.  At a time when Congress members are being threatened for simply voting their conscience on a Health Reform Bill, Erickson, comes out talking about threatening Census workers for doing their jobs.  And here’s the real bullshit about this…..he’s making shit up.  I know because I filled out both Census Forms, the long Community form AND the short form most people will be sent.  I don’t recall there being anything about “how many times do you flush your toilet” being on either of those forms.  For most people, all they have to fill out is basic information about themselves and others in their household.  The longer form, while more detailed still isn’t as invasive as Republicans like Erickson (or that nut job Michele Bachmann) are making it seem.  Here’s the thing:  If you are so worried about your privacy…just fill out bogus information.  Sure, you’re screwing over your community (and yourself and children) in the long run, but if it makes you feel better…do that.  But to suggest threatening a Census worker for doing their job (Yes you are required BY LAW to fill out the Census) is just idiotic.  And all because you didn’t want to spend 5 minutes filling out a simple form?  Come on.  Yet this is par for the course for Erickson and the bullshit rhetoric he spews.  And in the interest of trying to “share all view points” CNN is paying him as a contributor to continue to spew this non-sense.  Oh happy days….

WTF Wednesday: Captain Obvious Says…Joe Lieberman is a Douchebag

Posted on 28 October 2009 by Kriss

joelieberman_douchebag

SayIt Ain’t So Joe

“I told Senator Reid that I’m strongly inclined–i haven’t totally decided, but I’m strongly inclined–to vote to proceed to the health care debate, even though I don’t support the bill that he’s bringing together because it’s important that we start the debate on health care reform because I want to vote for health care reform this year. But I also told him that if the bill remains what it is now, I will not be able to support a cloture motion before final passage. Therefore I will try to stop the passage of the bill.”

There are a lot of democrats that are kicking themselves in the nuts for not being more forceful on the issue of Joe Lieberman after the election in November.  Come on.  Who is really still surprised by Lieberman’s betrayals?  This guy isn’t an independent, he isn’t a Democrat…he’s a Republican in Sheep’s (i.e. Democrat) clothing.  He actively campaigned for John McCain against Barack Obama, many times supporting flat out lies. It’s a testament to the lack of intestinal fortitude that democrats have that Lieberman kept his committee chair positions.  Joe Lieberman is and has always been a douchebag. With Harry Reid coming out and saying that Democrats are close to getting a Public Option in the final Senate Bill you know Republicans called up Lindsey Graham and John McCain and told them it was time to activate the “Manchurian Candidate” in Joe Lieberman so that they could stall the voting process.

Hey Remember When….
Republicans were complaining about the Michael Jackson resolution in the House?  Well, never ones to recognize their own hypocrisy, Rep. Tom Price and 75 of his republican colleagues introduced H.R.870 which is a resolution to officially commemorate the 9/12 taxpayer march on Washington.  Some of the sponsors of this bill are Eric Cantor and…surprise surprise, Michele Bachmann.  How absolutely ridiculous is this? Of course, I doubt any of these congressmen and congresswomen will put out a resolution to recognize the Gay Rights marches that happened after the 9/12 marches.

Shep Smith is Awesome
Once again Shep Smith proves why he doesn’t need to be on Fox News.  He’s one of the only fair and balanced people on a network that claims to be “Fair & Balanced”.    Honestly, Shep might be one of the fairest people on any cable news program.  How many hosts do you know, left or right, would admit and apologize for not having a balanced segment?

This is Why You Don’t Swim in Australian Waters


Great White Sharks are Mother Nature’s way of saying “Hey you dumb shits, don’t swim here”.  I mean come on, did you see the bite radius left behind?  One woman talking about “I have small children”…bitch that shark will EAT YOU, fuck your kids.

Baltimore City Cop Fucks Up…What a Shocker….
I can honestly say that I’m not shocked nor am I surprised when I see a story about a Baltimore City cop doing something incredibly stupid.  Who the hell goes to a staged Haunted House with a gun?  Well, I know Glenn Beck probably would since he went to the theater with a gun but come on.  You’re a police officer.  What the Hell?  Here’s the really sad thing:

According to charging documents, Janik smelled of alcohol and told police two different stories about what he did with the gun. First, he denied drawing the weapon, but later he said he pointed it at the ground.[....] A security guard had been following Janik’s group, which included his 9-year-old daughter, through the haunted house because Janik appeared to be drunk when he arrived, House of Screams owner Tony Sapanero said.

Nice.  Going to a haunted house, with your 9-year old daughter…drunk, with a loaded gun.  Please, fire this man and restrict him from ever owning another firearm.  Thanks

No Food and Beverage Tax
You’ve probably seen this commercial or one like it:

Now its already been established that this woman isn’t some regular Joe Blow like you or me.  Jon Stewart pointed that out earlier this year that she’s worked for the RNC.  But lets leave that point out right now.  My problem with this commercial and those who defend it is that they make it seem as if paying more for sodas and snacks is a burden on regular Americans.  Ummmm…last time I checked you could still drink water.  Its no secret that Americans are among the fattest fucks in the World.  The way I see it, higher taxes on foods that kill you is like putting a tax on cigarettes.  You want to slowly kill yourself, fine…no problem…pay a little more.  I love chips and if I have to pay 50 cents more I’ll do that…and hell, it might even force me to cut down on my candy and chip intake.  Hell, why is this even an issue?  Coca Cola is used to clean off car batteries…and you want to ingest that regularly?  Hey, enjoy but pay the fucking tax.  You want to complain about the tax but remember, all those fat poor people that use the ER for their regular doctors are draining your pockets as well.

The GOP…The Party of Rape and Hate

Posted on 23 October 2009 by Kriss

art-gop-fascism-posterOnce again I have to wonder just how the Republican party is able to attract minorities to its ranks.  From Blacks to Women to Gays, it just doesn’t make any sense to me.  Yeah I know, minority who are republicans will always say that it was republicans who supported the Civil Rights act.  Hell, Glenn Beck recently said that “Slave Owners” used to be called “progressives”.  That’s real cute Glenn.  Do you want to know what slave owners would be called today?  Republicans.

No, don’t even try to look at me like that.  I have the facts to back me up.  Hell, just listen to republicans themselves and you couldn’t begin to tell me that they are “Minority Friendly.”  Remember Senator Kyl saying that maternity care shouldn’t be in the Health Reform bill because “He doesn’t need it?” Oh that’s not good enough for you?  How about the fact that 30+ Senators voted against Senator Al Franken’s amendment to make it against the law for the government to contract private companies that made their employees sign contracts that limited them from prosecuting people that sexually assaulted them while they were overseas?  The republican reasoning?  “Who are we to interfere in the business of private companies?”  Apparently rape falls under the “We don’t care about it if its gonna mess up our profit margins or campaign financing”.

And then there’s the Hate Crime Bill.  Republicans have long stood in the way of adding attacks against gays to the list of hate crimes.  Why?  Who knows.  They use some convoluted logic to suggest that it infringes on Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion because you know, Jesus hated faggots.

Conservatives have opposed it, arguing that it creates a special class of victims. They also have been concerned that it could silence clergymen or others opposed to homosexuality on religious or philosophical grounds.

What?!?!?  I don’t know where to start picking this apart.  It creates a special class of victims?  Hmmm, so does that mean the Republicans are okay with removing laws that say crimes against Police Officiers or Federal Employees are automatically bumped up to First Degree Murder?  What’s that?  That’s different?  Riiiiight. And what the hell is up with the second part?  “It could silence clergymen”?  Seriously?  I enjoy the 1st Amendment as much as anyone but if your clergymen is up at the pulpit saying “All faggots should be killed” and then he goes out and kills a gay guy, guess what?  He just committed a hate crime.  Hey Republicans, don’t you think you’re focusing on the wrong thing here?  You’re worried that the guy who was screaming out “Faggot” as he beat a gay guy within an inch of his life is going to get a harsher sentence when you should be more concerned with the fact that HE BEAT A MAN WITHIN AN INCH OF HIS LIFE.  I mean come on people, this shouldn’t even be up for debate.  Yes, I would love to live in a world where all people are treated with respect and therefore all crimes against all people would be treated equally.  The problem is, we don’t live in that world.  I also don’t believe that this is the true GOP position (That they are against certain crimes getting “special treatment.”).  The real reason the GOP takes this position is because their base doesn’t see anything wrong with beating up or killing gays, just like they don’t have a problem with beating up or killing ‘niggers’.  Honestly, I’d much rather they come and just say that (“Hey, we’re just catering to our base”) than trying to act all high and moral about this.

Mark Sanford…The Hilarious Gift That Keeps Giving

Posted on 01 July 2009 by Kriss

SC GovernorMark Sanford is God’s way of telling us that Republicans are on his shit list for the next 4 years.  Honestly, this guy has to be the dumbest cheating man I’ve ever seen in my life.  His original press conference, where it took him damn near 7 minutes to cut to the chase and admit to cheating on his wife, is already a classic.  But as more details come up and as this idiot continues to give interviews, the story just becomes more hilarious with each passing second.  First we find out that his wife found out about his affair and they had been separated two weeks before his Argentinean excursion.  Then after telling his wife that he wanted to reconcile, he lives his State leaderless during Fathers Day Weekend (he has 4 kids) to go spend it with the woman he’s been having an affair with.  How inconspicuous did he think he was really going to be?  Then the emails come out last week and I must say…HILARIOUS.

But this is what takes the cake:

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, already struggling to salvage his family and his political career after admission of a scandalous affair, added explosive details Tuesday, including more visits with the mistress he calls his “soul mate” and additional women in his past.

The once-promising presidential prospect said he is committed to reconciling with his wife, but professed to The Associated Press his continued love for the Argentine woman at the center of the firestorm that gutted his political future.

I swear…every time Sanford takes his foot out of his mouth, he kicks himself in the teeth again.  Seriously, who is Sanford’s Public Relations person and why isn’t he telling the Governor to shut the fuck up?  Seriously, Sanford reminds me of a villain in a movie who gives a long ass monologue to the protagonist, telling them the who, what, when, where and why of his evil plan…just so he can be foiled.  On second thought, Sanford isn’t cool enough to be a villain.  He’s one of those idiot criminals on Law & Order that feels the need to confess the full details of their crime, much to the dismay of their lawyer, even though the cops and D.A. have nothing but circumstantial evidence.  What an idiot.

If it seems like I’m taking too much pleasure in Sanford’s pain, its because I am.  See, hypocritical republican ass clowns like Sanford talk all this shit about morals when it comes to Gay Marriage and Gay rights but then they’re living knee deep in immorality themselves.

WTF Wednesday: Political WTFs of the Week

Posted on 24 June 2009 by Kriss

sanfordPeople On FBI Terrorist Watch List Can Buy Guns
Oh America…how I love the asinine logic used to create laws.  Let me see if I can get this straight.  If you are on the FBI Terrorist Watch List, you can’t board an air plane…but you can buy a gun.  This is just the latest example of the ass-backwardness of this country.  The NRA of course is defending the rights of these individuals saying that the terrorist watch list is flawed.  I actually agree with them on this.  Remember, Ted Kennedy was once stopped from boarding a plane because his name appeared on the list.   Now most people will focus on the sensationalized headlines “Terror watchlist suspects can buy guns” and never notice that the truth is, the lists themselves are flawed.  Ted Kennedy is one of the most recognizable government officials and he had to get the then head of Homeland Security to get his name off the list.  Hell, Martin Luther King was on an FBI watch list at one point. Instead of a watch list, how about we just….I don’t know…have some real fucking security instead?  Obviously the watch list isn’t useful when youhave a famous, sitting United States senator on the list.  And another thing…if there was a terrorist trying to board…don’t you think they’d use a fake ID?

Joe Scarborough on John McCain and Lindsey Graham

I’m always talking about how much of a douchebag tool Joe Scarborough is, but I have to give the man credit when he does something right.

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Don’t get too excited.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.  But seriously, what the hell are John McCain and his trusty Side Kick/secret lover Lindsey Graham thinking?  Of course the President is on the side of the protesters.  What, you think he wants Iran to keep their “Death to America” attitude going?  Like he doesn’t have enough shit to worry about.  I just find it unbelievable that fuckers like McCain and all the other GOP assclowns can speak against the President now…when most of them claimed that speaking against Bush was “unAmerican”.

Governor Sanford goes AWOL
Okay, first some background on who this assclown is.  Remember back when the President was pushing to get his Economic Stimulus Recovery plan passed?  Remember when there was a group of republican governors who claimed they were going to turn down the stimulus money?  Well Governor Asshat (read:  Sanford) was the only one of those Governors to take his fight to refuse the bailout money to court.  He lost. Not only did the law makers in his state want the money, but so did the people. So fast forward to a couple of days ago when it came out that no one had seen or heard from the Governor…not even his own family.  Now his aides have said that he went “hiking” on the Appalachian Trail.   Now maybe that’s true.  Maybe, in typical Republican douchebaggery, the Governor being a sore loser decided to “pack up his ball” and go home.  But over Father’s Day weekend?  Not talking to your wife or kids?  That seems a little more than odd, it seems down right suspicious.  Honestly though, I could care less if he really did go hiking or if he decided to go on a 4-day coke and hooker binge.  What bothers me is that as the Executive of a state, he up and leaves without telling his Lieutenant Governor or any other State government officials where he is going or how to contact him in an emergence.  What the hell kind of irresponsible behavior is that?  I’m a lowly computer programmer and even I can’t just up and disappear for 4 days without letting my boss and coworkers know where I am or at the very least, how to reach me.  This isn’t me being partisan.  If a democratic governor did the same thing I’d be calling for their resignation as well.  This is completely unacceptable.

Sanford’s office acknowledged that it had no idea where exactly along the Appalachian Trail – a 2,200 mile route that crosses 14 states – he had been walking. His spokesman refused to discuss whether he had been accompanied by anyone.

“He’s an avid outdoorsman. Nobody’s ever accused our governor of being conventional,” the spokesman said.

I guess no one’s ever accused him of being ’smart’ either.
*Update*
I wrote the above last night. Turns out the Governor wasn’t hiking but he was in Argentina for 7 days. WTF? A sitting Governor just up and leaves to go out of the country, with no security or nothing? No notes to his next in command. His own family doesn’t even know? Over Father’s Day weekend? Oh this mofo was getting it in with coke and hookers…no doubt.

Palin Might Not Run in 2010
While I think she’s dumb brain dead polar bear cub, I have to give it to the Alaskan Governor, she knows how to stretch out 15 minutes of fame.  I guess someone’s been reading up on “Attention Whoring for Dummies” since November 5th.  As dumb as she is, even I don’t think Governor Sarah Palin is that stupid to not run for re-election next year.  It doesn’t make any sense.  The best way for her to stay in the spot light is to be a current governor and not some former governor has been that is struggling to stay relevant.  Then again, maybe not being Governor will allow her to focus on important things like map reading and understanding simple foreign policy.

Oh Richard Nixon
And you wonder why minorities don’t like Republicans.  You have an asshole of a republican, who was President, saying while being taped, that interracial pregnancies are a legitimate reason for getting an abortion.  Oh wait…what is it that Black Republicans always say “But Lincoln freed the slaves.”  GTFOH with that bullshit.  I love how those fuckers always skip over republican dickwads like this when they try to shovel the republican shit onto their fellow African-American.

GOP Women’s Group Compares Obama to Hitler
Again, its things like this that will keep most African Americans from every being republican.  I’m beginning to think Republicans are allergic to common sense.

Dear Friends:

Obama and Hitler have a great deal in common in my view. Obama and Hitler use the “blitzkrieg” method to overwhelm their enemies. FAST, CARPET BOMBING intent on destruction. Hitler’s blitzkrieg bombing destroyed many European cities – quickly and effectively. Obama is systematically destroying the American economy and with it AMERICA. First the banking/investment industry, next private enterprise (GM and Chrysler) and now HEALTH CARE.

We too CAN fight back. Contact everyone you know. Start a blitzkrieg of our own. Shut down the Capitol switchboards and the White House switchboards! Say NO to the Obamination of Obama Care!

Another Press Conference, Another Dumbass question
Reporters that ask dumbass questions at Press conferences should be forced to commit seppuku right on the spot.  A secret service agent (Actually, it would probably be more fitting if Rahm Emmanuel did it) should come up to them, remove the microphone from their hand and hand them a ritualistic sword and they should then be forced to impale themselves.  I guarantee you that after a couple of those, there won’t be nearly as many retarded ass questions.
