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.

Republican Heroes: Racists, Terrorists, and Traitors

“I hate that flag up there….I hate the United States government….They’re an evil, corrupt government. They need to go. Sovereignty is not good enough. Secession is what we need!”

“We hate the United States!”

– Larry Kilgore, Talibangelical “patriot” at a Texas secessionist rally

A roundup of recent miscreants that make up the GOP:

Odd Perspective

“Fox News host Glenn Beck has lost over 30 sponsors since he called President Obama a racist. And the latest sponsor that he just lost is Clorox bleach. That’s amazing. Even a company whose sole purpose is to make things whiter thinks Glenn Beck has gone too far.”
