Republican Heroes: Asshats and Assaults

From the same Rethug Representative hoping for a new Republican “Great White Hope”, some footage from her town hall meeting where she laughs at the plight of a single mom without insurance.

But, while mocking people you are supposed to represent is pretty vile, at least she didn’t go out and hit her.

In Florida, a random Rethug pulled his truck over at a rally and punched an elderly pro-reform supporter. Nice.

These asshats will even shout down a woman in a wheelchair in New Jersey and stop her from speaking.

Once again, there’s nothing compassionate about conservatives and nothing Christ-like in their Christianity. Disrespecting people who you supposedly speak for. Beating on the elderly. Treated folks in wheelchairs like second-class citizens.

Why do we listen to such vile people?

SPORTSbyBROOKS » Taking Torch From Ted Kennedy … Curt Schilling?

Even irreverent sports columnists are laughing it up at the prospect of Curt Schilling running for Ted Kennedy’s seat. I lost all respect for this guy when he went full out for Bush in 2004. In 2000, that was forgiveable to a degree given that we didn’t know how much of a spineless asshat he would be. But not in the next election.

In short:

Yes when I think of the Kennedy legacy, the photo above immediately comes to mind. In fact, make that puppy giant-size and slap it on a few billboards around the state, and Schilling could be the first person ever to get zero votes. Sorry to ruin this thing before it gets started, Curt.
