Rethug Morons: June 2009 Archives

Ever wonder what fantasies your bitter, single conservative co-workers go home to whack off to? I mean, besides a three-way with horse-faced Coulter and Play-Doh face Malkin.

Here ya go. Apparently some conservathugs were wet dreaming about Obama offing Sanford for not taking stimulus money.

Yeah, don't thank me all at once for those visuals.

This is the angry GOP these days.

Basically, they don't get the Prez. Not like I do all the time either, but he's never going to take you out if you are an opponent of his. Instead, he'll keep you in the Senate like a funny-looking elderly muppet, like he does with McCain. Or he'll make you his international Girl Friday, like he did with Clinton. If you are a potential GOP opponent with a brain, he'll co-opt you into his administration and then ship you off (re: Huntsman).

No, if he REALLY wanted Sanford gone, he'd probably make him some Select Ambassador on Family Values and THEN let the guy reveal his affair while flagellating himself with a thorned whip. On Easter Sunday.

This is just the GOP being itself. Hypocrites.

Given recent events, I've found a website that keeps track of all the "mistaken" Democratic affiliations FAUXNews give fallen Republicans.

Keep 'em honest.

I first read this column and had a little laugh over the continuing idiocy of the everlasting Sarah Palin parade. And then it occurs to me that maybe this IS the best the Republicans have to offer this nation.

Holy crap!

Then I went ahead and gutted through the actual article. To be honest, I'm probably more frightened now than before. Not only is this person a dolt, but people in the GOP who KNEW she was a dolt just went along with setting her up to be the 45th President when, not if, McCain would have faltered physically.

Let us restate this: they KNEW she wasn't up to the task, and tried to play it off ANYWAY. For partisan pride and to hell with the United States of America!

Never mind that she might be the best that they've got (especially with Ensign and Sanford caught with their pants down and Piyush being Mr. Rogers in brownface), the lack of respect for all Americans by the Republican Party is sick, and borderline treachery.

Things that need said regarding the continuing juvenile behavior of the GOP.

Wow, the frat boys over at FAUXNews have done it again.

Whenever a Republican screws up, particularly in a sexcapade, FAUX labels him as a Democrat. One, it's the worst insult they think they have. Two, and more importantly, they are so afraid of being affiliated with guys who slum for blowjobs in airport bathrooms or cheat on their wives that they do everything they can to make us forget that some said miscreants were just recently in line to be their candidate for President.

Here are other previous examples of FAUXNews leaving their fellow Republicans out to dry.

"SECTION 16-15-70. 'Adultery' defined.

'Adultery' is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman when either is lawfully married to some other person."

Just saying. In South Carolina, adultery is still a crime. Strangely, no one is trying to charge Sanford for cheating on his wife.

Here's his quasi-sincere apology and explanation:

Plus some unanswered questions.

Basically, this is just another "family values" pushing bigot who got caught cheating on his wife.

I know the media is going to give him all the room in the world, cause "ah shucks, what a nice guy" is apparently the rule of the day. Even to grandstanding thugs.

It's a damn shame that no one witch hunts these assholes the same way they did Clinton. Where, oh where, are the calls for this guy to resign? He directly broke a state law but is allowed to keep his job?

Wow.

According to this article on new revelations of the Nixon White House tapes, Tricky Dick was for abortions in very limited situations. You know, like "(w)hen you have a black and a white".

There is also more on his - and Billy Graham's - anti-Semitic beliefs. And a couple entries that make Reagan look like more of an anti-democracy scumbag than I had earlier given him credit for.

Why do we let these people rule America from time to time? Can't we eventually learn from our many, many, many mistakes?

Consider this required reading on how bad off the US would have been - and still could be - if the Talibangelicals ever get in charge again.

Keep your eyes open folks.

Turns out that another "family values" Republican has spent the last year providing cover for John Ensign's affair.

Tom Coburn, supposedly "moral" Oklahoma legislator, has been point man on a) supporting Ensign, and b) covering up the affair.

To clear things up for our pseudo-Christian friends: Ensign screwed a subordinate which, yes, violates his oath of marriage, and then bumped up her pay, got her husband AND her 19 year old son gigs on both the federal and GOP dime.

But you guys sure know when a wrong is wrong, right? Clinton screws an intern and we blow (sorry, bad pun) the better part of a million to get him impeach. Your boy Larry Craig tries to have sex with another man you try your best to run him out of office.

Here in Nevada we have a GOP governor who took office early (and possibly illegally), tried to bang a cocktail waitress in a parking garage and has cheated on his wife with other women, but you're fine with that.

And now Nevada has another scumbag violator of the oath of marriage and you have no problem with that either?

According to recent polls, 72 percent of Americans would like the government to offer some kind of public option plan for health insurance.

According to the same poll, only 18 percent would even want to see what Rethugs have to think on the issue. So why are they getting all of the press?

Honestly, given how Leslie's plan has been gutted and how mine has felt a bit of a squeeze of late, I'd like to see the details of said policy as well.

I just think Republicans don't want to lose the lobbyist dollars they get from the insurance industry. I mean, if they really hated public insurance, they'd be cancelling the plan the government currently spends money on for them. Right?

Click here to see which our your supposed representatives are at the teat of the health insurance and drug company bribes. Erm, "contributions".

There sure are a lot of Red Staters there.

And we now have crowned our 21st Century Marie Antionette, State Rep. Cynthia Davis of Missouri. A Republican of course.

In the course of working through budget cuts each state has to do, she wants to kill a program that feeds undernourished kids during the summer.

Her primary problem is feeding kids 16 and older, since, you know, they can go find summer jobs at McDonalds that will also feed them lunch.

First off, I don't think there are enough McJobs to feed all those kids...in a good economy.

Secondly, Missouri has the 19th highest unemployment rate in the country at 9 percent. Even the McJobs that existed last year aren't there for summer workers anymore.

Third, and actually this would be first if she wasn't a "compassionate" conservative, YOU DON'T MAKE JOKES ABOUT WANTING TO STARVE CHILDREN!

"When I see violence directed at peaceful protestors, when I see peaceful dissent being suppressed, wherever that takes place, it is of concern to me and it's of concern to the American people. That is not how governments should interact with their people... I do believe that something has happened in Iran where there is a questioning of the kinds of antagonistic postures towards the international community that have taken place in the past, and that there are people who want to see greater openness and greater debate and want to see greater democracy. How that plays out over the next several days and several weeks is something ultimately for the Iranian people to decide."

- President Obama, 6/16/2009 on the Iranian protests

Normally I'm with the say it prainly and clearly - and somewhat loudly - crowd. Obama is clearly of the "speak softly" crowd and is currently withholding the "big stick". This is an internal affair and since our history of messing with Iranian politics is pretty horrific, our prez is doing the right thing by standing by and pointing out that violence and repression are bad. Besides, the guy at the top and his cronies will still be in charge no matter who gets to be president there; and those cats have never liked us.

Meanwhile the GOP are running around like idiots and screaming for Obama to condemn the election as a sham and, presumably, send in Force Recon to back the protestors.

The Iranians already see anything we are doing as meddling. Why antagonize them further?

"A state television channel in Iran says the government summoned the Swiss ambassador, who represents U.S. interests in Iran, to complain about American interference. The two countries broke off diplomatic relations after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. An English-language state-run channel quoted the government as calling Western interference 'intolerable.'"

One, even if the opposition is seen to win last week's election, they are STILL more conservative than even the current whack job crowd of conservatives we have. Two, where the fuck was the GOP where Bush stole two elections in THIS country? Their hypocrisy stinks to high heaven.

Even the media is missing the friggin point, as this short-sighted article clearly shows.

Look, just because eight years of Bush taught us that knee jerk emotional reactions were the approved policy response doesn't mean Bush and Co. were ever RIGHT in their overreactions to situations. Quite the contrary, in fact.

"(Obama) should speak out that this is a corrupt, flawed sham of an election and that the Iranian people have been deprived of their rights."

- McCain, over-reacting as usual

Some are billing this as Obama v. McCain 2. If so, Obama still wins on both points and correctness.

As a segue, this article points out how much worse we would be if John Sidney McCain III was nominally in charge these days.

The core point is this however: we have no dogs in this fight and no real reason to jump in other than to express an interest in the will of the people prevailing without much violence. Yep, that's it.

Besides, weren't the neocons actually pulling FOR Ahmadinejad?

The GOP is forgetting one important lesson from the Bible studies they supposed go to:

"A gentle answer turns away rage, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

- Proverbs 15:1

Ultra-tanned scumbag (and, regretably, our Senator) John Ensign admitted today that he had an affair with a married staff member last year.

Presumably, this now makes him the GOP "Family Values" frontrunner for 2012. Seriously, do they ALL run under a combination of 1984 and some random Ayn Rand wet dream?

In any case, I'm sure this doesn't really change my impression of it as that was pretty low to begin with, and I am equally sure he will learn no humility and try to blame this on the President somehow as that's all Republicans know how to do these days.

Either way, a filthy piece of crap stays just as dirty today.

A psychotic white right winger violates the sanctity of a church and kills a doctor.

A hardcore black Muslim convert shoots at two recruiters and kills one.

Only one of them gets charged with terrorism. If you guessed the black Muslim, you'd be correct.

I'm not saying the recruiter shooter shouldn't have the book thrown at him - he should - but so should the assassin who actually knew the name of his target.

Read this for more on the injustice between the two scumbags.

I imagine Old van Brunn the Nazi Lover will be treated with kid gloves too, even though he, too, is another right wing terrorist. You know, because of the color of his skin.

It may not be overt racism, but it IS there. And it is playing out - once again - in courtrooms across America.

Just to be against the voices of moderation and change (even by Iranian approved standards) the Rethugs were in favor of Ahmadinejad winning the election.

Granted, the apparently thievery of the vote in his name now makes him the illegitimate bastard brother of Bush, but the irony of that seems to be lost on both Mahmoud and the neocons as well.

So, in a nutshell, the hardcore conservatives are in favor of a guy who wants to wipe Israel off the map, and they still claim the guy who shot up the Holocaust museum isn't one of their's?

Morons.

Following on the Minuteman terrorist story I just posted comes this story of a decent human being who has been charged with littering for leaving water in the desert for illegal aliens crossing - let me say it again - THE DESERT!

Fish and Wildlife Service officers confiscated the water as, you know, it's the compassionate conservative thing to do.

They say the Republican Party has to embrace the web to maintain traction in this current political environment.

Personally, I think they'd be better off trying to cull the racists, bigots, terrorists and loudmouth drug addict sex fiend radio shitheels in their midst. But that's just me.

As for the whole "we know Web 2.0" thing? They have a lot to learn.

Last year, for some reason, I started getting email from Jim Inhofe. You know, the anti-climate change racist asswipe. I don't know how I got on his list. Presumably they trolled a list of any email account that ever sent a message from Oklahoma and spammed it. I mean, I haven't lived there since 2003, never voted for the asshole or his ilk, and I have never been a member of the GOP, KKK, or NRA.

It was mildly entertaining to read his detached from reality BS during the election, until the rise of the Palinites and Inhofe's willingness to join their racist sedition bandwagon. I unsubscribed and was the better for doing so.

Until this week. Mary Fallin, another OK Rethug cretin, is running for governor. And suddenly I'm getting email from her.

Yeah, these spam artists have a lot to learn about properly using technology for something other than to blow up brown people and assassinate people in churches and Holocaust museums.

First off, I love newspapers. I even read the rural conservative ones we got in Illinois just to get the local news.

However, the piece of crap we are stuck with here in Las Vegas, the Review-Journal is a hate-filled, ultra-conservative piece of dogshit. And that's me being polite about it.

Today's opinion pages had this insult to intelligence bashing the TARP plan. Look, there are a lot of reasons not to like bailing out corrupt bankers, but none of the ones in this editorial applies. In fact, it seems to have been written by a fifth grade kid stuck in a Republican household trying to impress his Klan daddy.

What's worse is when they borrow syndicated info from folks like the psycho/idiot goons at the Reverend Moon's Washington Times. The RJ wasn't even brave enough to link this on their own site so I had to go find it. Whoever this Diana West is, she appears to be a vile, dirty piece of excrement, at least according to this commentary. And as filthy as she is, she's even prouder of the Time's Frank Gaffney who delight in mischaracterizing our president as some low-rent al-Qaeda wannabe.

These animals should be glad that progressives and liberals are not as fearful and hateful as they are. Otherwise they'd probably already be renditioned and treated to some of the lovely torture they get all wet and hard for.

Last week we were subjected to a Rethug terrorist who assassinated a doctor. In church.

This week, we are confronted with a Racist Republican who stormed the Holocaust Museum in DC and wanted to kill as many as he could but was shot by a guard, who later died. James von Brunn is this asshat's name, and he has a history of hate. Talking Points Memo has some more at their right wing extremism section, as does HuffPo.

Once again, Republicans who can't win at the ballot box (even by cheating) believe they HAVE to control the conversation. So instead of trying to make winning arguments and policies, they resort to killing those who don't agree with them. More to the point, killing those they HATE.

Honestly, if my choice in an election was a bag of dog crap and a Republican, I'd vote for the poop.

"When left-wing extremists burn down a ski lodge or free lab animals, they're called eco-terrorists and they're investigated and prosecuted under terrorism laws. When a right-wing extremist kills a doctor, he's charged with murder."

- Reddit comment on Scott Roeder only being charged for murder

I find it bizarre that you can perform an assassination in this country and only be up for murder charges. That is, only if you are doing the bidding of the Talibangelical terrorists. Call this what it is: terrorism, and go after the people that motivate, fund, and support these freaks.

This crap doesn't belong in America and the less Roeders and McVeighs we have in this country, the better off we'll all be.

Meanwhile, a lawyer in Philly cheers on a mob of vigilantes who beat up a guy accused of rape. Oh, yes, they beat up the wrong guy. I heard this at lunch and was sickened to see this crap.

Look, 24 is a pornographic torture lovers show. It is FICTION. And hey, I enjoyed watching Boondock Saints but I'm pretty sure I'd move out from anywhere that used it as a basis for a justice system.

I don't get conservatives and their hatred of due process, of their need to torture and kill regardless of the facts. And they have the balls to call themselves patriots? Maybe if they stop using the Constitution as asswipe and read their bibles instead of using it as a coffee table prop, they'd realize how wrong they are.

"Rush Limbaugh is in the news. Last week, Rush Limbaugh said that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was a racist. But this week, Rush says he may support her. Yeah. Limbaugh says that he can't support Sotomayor until he's 100% sure she's a racist."

- Conan O'Brien

You really gotta hand it to these Rethugs. The circular logic is painful to behold.

Here is what Okies think of the Sotomayor nomination:

I am SO glad I don't live there anymore.

John Stewart goes after the conservative loons for being idiots and anti-American during Obama's trip to the Middle East.

Well done.

Those Buchanan kids weren't spanked enough as children.

Plus, their copies of Mein Kampf should have been burned. I don't care that Hitler autographed them personally.

Bay Buchanan has the nerve to say that her employee (I think I recently said it was her brother Pat's worker) is being lynched by the media.

Why would she use these words? Because the guy she hired - and keeps employing - was the asshat who assaulted a black woman and called her the N-word. You know, what in most places constitutes a borderline hate crime at best.

But being a conservative means that you're the victim, regardless of the fact that you a) are the aggressor, b) probably have the power, and c) oh yeah, you COMMITTED A FUCKING CRIME!

And you wonder how these idiots get any votes in elections at all.

I love this article.

It also explains why people my age seem so damned enamored of the GOP because of the Reagan myth in spite of all the evil shit that party has done directly to us in terms of wars and debt and all-around social depravity.

A well, meaning liberal finally wises up to why feeding the beast is a bad idea. Thus, after aiding and abetting O'Reilly in persuading people to kill abortion doctors, she now can no longer go on his show.

Look, if the guy was actually willing to allow other points of view to exist in his Shit Zone, you'd have a point. But he doesn't, so I can't see how that is a great idea at all. At least you woke up to it.

Rush Limbaugh. STILL a huge piece of shit. Honestly, I saw Ann Coulter on CBS this morning (they've also had RimJob on recently) and I don't get it. Why should anyone pretending to be a respectable news agency have these folks on? It's like trying to get a legitimate viewpoint from Andy Dick. You *might* get something, but odds are you're going to have to wade through a lot of crap first.

Remember when a crime was crime was a crime? Me neither. These asshats are going to get off the hook and no one seems to give a damn.

Wait. Isn't Sotomayor actually qualified for the job she's up for?

Robert Reich weighs in on the topic of Rethug vitriol against Judge Sonia Sotomayor. They've gone to the standard plan of letting Limbaugh, O'Reilly et al speak the racist BS while the elected types go "aw shucks, them guys" and pretend to focus on issues.

So far, no one has really called them on it. Hell, Mitch McConell doesn't even pretend to speak out against the bigoted statements.

Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. They've attacked her for "having feelings", re: being a woman. As mentioned in another post, Traitor Liddy had some VERY chauvinistic things to say about her.

Aside from calling Spanish "illegal alien", the GOP has also gone out of it's way to label Sotomayor a racist. What is telling is that since they are damn near ALL saying it, doesn't that kind of make them the racists? Or is calling her "Sonia from the block" not a racist statement.

Among the racist fearmongers are Liddy (see above link), Tom Tancredo, and Limbaugh and Beck and their ilk. Trust me, it isn't hard to find links to this.

And while trying to pin a racist label on a federal judge, one of Tancredo's aides (who also worked for Pat Buchanan) confessed to accosting an American-American woman on the street, karate chopping at her head and calling her the N-word. And he has not been fired from Tancredo's employ.

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

But they aren't the racists. Right.

I read this article awhile back and was actually dumbfounded by the idea. Apparently, a substantial amount of conservatives think Stephen Colbert's character is for real.

Granted, I have my issues with the show. I think it toes the line into even pretend angry bigoted too often and too close to be real. Also, it isn't all that funny overall. That said, I'm still pretty convinced he's play acting. Don't take my word for it, here's an interview Colbert recently did with the Los Angeles Times.

For more on the study, go here.

Women legislators are a severe minority in the Republican Party. Enough to warrant special attention.

I mean, it's pretty obvious why given their policies, but it is still quite alarming. You expect this stuff from a Third World nation, just not here. Hell, even Pakistan has had a female leader, but we have a party actively against the rights of women recently hold all the levers of power in the United States.

Case in point: in Rethug Texas, if you are a woman who is raped and work with the police to prosecute your assailant, they will charge you for your rape kit. The implied message is "rape is okay, don't raise a stink". A similar charge was exacted in Palin's Alaska.

The point was really drove home recently when Rethug Hero (and Felon) G. Gordon Liddy launched a race and gender-based attack on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor which included the following statement:

"Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when she's menstruating or something."

Stay classy GOP.

A couple weeks ago, I read this article on how some miscreants are illegally planting marijuana in our national parks and forests. It seems they take joy in abusing our public lands for illicit gains.

And now the GOP slid in an amendment to the recent credit card bill (which passed) that allows you to bring firearms into national parks. First, some actual concerns. Next, I imagine that come next year there will be a rash of drunken hillbilly Rethugs shooting up fellow campers. And not a damn thing will be done about it.

But what about future implications? Now, illegal pot growers can LEGALLY set up spots to shoot at anyone who might "threaten" them. Sure, that's not the intent of the law, but it's a very short logical leap to that conclusion.

What the real concern is that all these Quislings probably pushed the law so that they can set up some kind of fundamentalist, racist redoubts in our national parks so they can run from the "socialist" government they hate and fear so much.

Basically, today the GOP unwittingly support drug dealers. Tomorrow, they set up their hate-filled theocracy in the Smokies.

To be fair, here is one outdoorsman who thinks this is an incredibly stupid idea.

Plus, some actual details concerning the new law.

I have a couple problems here. One is obvious. How can you be "pro-life" while resorting to assassination as an argument tactic? And yes, some folks are justifiably calling it fundamentalist terrorism. So, really, how do you reconcile the belief system to the behavior?

More important to me, even in my current "spiritual without particular religion" phase, is the concept of holy ground. Sanctuary. Gangs respect it (for the most part). The Families swear by it. Even the KGB respected the tradition. Why don't Talibangelicals? Last year, that one asshat shot up a church in Tennessee to kill some token Democrats. Now, a doctor gets shot in church.

Not *near* the church. Not pacing outside the church deciding whether or not he could enter. He was *in* church. As an usher in said church. An active participant in the worship of God.

But these so-called "compassionate conservatives" think it is okay to enter a church with a gun and assassinate someone. And why not? They want you to have guns in national parks. They want you to pack heat in school. Why WOULDN'T they agree to execution by the pipe organ?

These twits do not respect any opinions that aren't on par with their own narrow minded view. Zealots. Racists. Bigots. Assassins. Terrorists.

When will someone tell these fools that this is not religion. It is only hate. It sure won't be FauxNews. Here's their opinions on these matters:

More on this filthbucket O'Reilly and his friends here, , < href="http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200906010025" target="_blank">and here.

Another doctor dares to call this terrorism.

And Rethug Goon Randall Terry says we shouldn't over-react in placing the blame where it belongs. Namely, with people like him.

So yeah, I'll be more on the lookout for places that air FauxNews and to avoid giving them any business. If you want to air hate, you don't need my money. Probably racists anyway.
