“I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”

– Sam the Day Laborer

Read this and go to the actual article if you can stand it.

This scumbag has taken his 15 minutes of fame and run wild with it. First he tried to pick a fight with then-Senator Obama over the concept of restoring some fairness to the tax code over a tax rate for the 4 percenters that he certainly wasn’t going to qualify for.

I mean, let’s be honest. Even including what he’s getting paid under the table, the guy was probably barely scratching forty grand a year. I’ve been a journeyman contractor type and you don’t get top pay or top picks of jobs to get on.

So, from what I know, the guy’s name is Sam, not Joe.

He’s not a plumber.

He doesn’t make a quarter million a year.

From what I know, he’s divorced and probably doesn’t have a lot of access to his kids.

And, of course, like any GOP stalwart, he’s an anti-gay bigot.

Look folks, the more credibility and press we give idiots like this, the more the world thinks they represent all of us.

BONUS IDIOT: Rudy Giuliani, who sold out his friends’ and skipped their wedding (they are gay) to score political points with his Rethug pals. What a scumbag.

A whole gaggle of Republican talking heads for ya. You know the GOP mantra: “When in doubt blame/bomb a brown person”. They are really on their game this time around.

More on the radio dickweeds that are jumping with both feet into the hate pool.

My “favorite” of this ilk is unknown tool Jay Severin, who has a litany of racist slurs. Careful Michael Steele, you might find yourself out of a job if this windbag gets any more traction.

Yeah, I know that not ALL Republicans are racist: just most of the elected ones. And apparently all of the ones on radio. Look, if you don’t want to be labeled with such a wide brush as being the Bigot Party, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TO ELECT PEOPLE WHO AREN’T HATEMONGERS!

Just a thought anyway.

It isn’t enough for Republicans to hate gay people.

It isn’t enough for them to deny them basic civil rights.

It isn’t enough to deny them to right to express their love of another by joining their lives together.

Nah, it isn’t even enough to smear their names once they’ve been horrifically executed.

Nope. To be a proper Republican. To be one who represents other Republicans in our nation’s capital, you have to diminish the death of an average American citizen, and the repeatedly offer fake apologies for saying the hate-filled shit you believe in.

Apparently she, and others of her ilk, forgot the “with liberty and justice for all” bit.

Read up on the (d)evolution of the No Party Mascot here.

Can’t say I’m having a hard time agreeing with this commentary.

There is already a group out there called Please Secede who have an online petition up. They just want Texas out of the Union, no more, no less.

Plus, 48% of Texas Republicans WANT to secede.

I’ll say it again: LET THEM!

Nate Silver looks at how to divide Texas into five states. Three of them full of lunatics, one proudly Dem and one full of Austin citizens who would likely vote the Red out of their part of the map.

That said, let the bastards go if they want to leave so bad. Once I can hire a Force Recon unit to escort my family into that hellhole, Gabriel can visit his relatives again.

Today’s Read This comes from a blog that tells Republicans that by appealing to hated and bigotry, they hatred and bigotry is what they get. You know, you reap what you sow. If you actually read those bibles you are thumping all the time, you’d know that.

And what are they sowing? Well first the Million Militia March, which wants to have a bunch of heavily armed anti-government treason bunnies and have them run amok on the Washington Mall.

You know, probably end up shooting up some gay couples, some non-white children, all good Republican values.

In Oklahoma City, a teabagger is arrested for offering to behead any police officers who might have arrested him during the Tax Day Double Entendre.

More on the nationwide problem that the few rational Republican politicians increasingly have with their bigoted Talibangelical supporters.
