Find me a church that preaches this, doesn’t tell me my dog is going to hell for being microchipped, backs a political party that is fine with chasing underage boys and cheating on spouses – much less bombing brown people and other such crimes – and MAYBE I’d be fine with exposing my kid to it.
Otherwise, I’m going to teach my son to just be a good and respectful person and leave the crazies outside my home.
The CSM thankfully eschews the conservative crazy talk and gives a surprisingly rational assessment of what health care reform actually does.
Maher tends to piss me off with his holier-than-thou shtick – and that may be the point – but something he hits the ball right out of the park.
“I want to just take a moment to thank the Teabaggers. Thank you so much for helping us pass health care, for resurrecting the Obama presidency. I know they’re saying, ‘Why are you thanking me? I was so against it, I marched on Washington with tea bags hanging off my Founding Fathers costume, with a gun on my hip and a picture of Obama dressed as Hitler, screaming about his birth certificate.’ And America saw that and said, ‘I think I’ll go with the calm black man.'” – Bill Maher
“Democrats in America were put on earth to do one thing: drag the ignorant hillbilly half of this country into the next century, which in their case is the 19th — and by passing health care, the Democrats saved their brand. A few months ago, Sarah Palin mockingly asked them, ‘How’s that hopey-changey thing working out for ya?’ Great, actually. Thanks for asking. And how’s that whole Hooked on Phonics thing working out for you?’
– Bill Maher
I was going to question which offended me more in this story: the racist jackass or the wimp behind the desk.
C-SPAN tried to do some damage control:
Even though host Bill Scanlon had a previous rep for allowing anti-Semites roll on in the same manner.
I actually know the answer to that. There will ALWAYS be racists, be illiterate, backwards, hateful bastards. They breed in trailer parks. You can’t educate the little pricks fast enough to remove the taint.
But you CAN tell them they are wrong. You don’t have to treat them like they have an opinion worth validating. This ass clown should have been silenced immediately. The Sarah Palin’s or the world need to be told that they are wrong. Civilization cannot survive based on morons of that ilk. For our self-preservation, if not our dignity, these twits need removed from the discourse of our nation.
Sure, they can contribute – once they develop thoughts that don’t lead to hatred, division, fear, and death.
Thankfully, as I was typing this up, I watched a John Stewart clip on this. I feel better now.

This reminds me of when Life magazine ran around with some white supremacists awhile back. Here is a look at a militia wedding, complete with kids and weaponry.
Now I’m not saying that planning to kill cops for Jesus is the same as wanting to start a race war; I’m just saying that both sets of lunatics are equally as dangerous to our nation.
Also, for the record, a lot of other militias have been trying to say these Hutaree idiots are nothing like them and they share no common ties. Reality tells a different story.
Glenn BecKKK’s repressive dream world already exists. It is the state of Utah.
That said, we have been to Utah and like a lot of the places we’ve been and the people there.
As for living there? Umm, not so sure about that, particularly after reading this article.
Yeah, this is about right.
