“(Y)ou have to also remember the fact that the president being on vacation in Hawaii, it’s much different than being in Texas. Hawaii to many Americans seems like a foreign place. And I think those images, the optics, hurt President Obama very badly.”

– Former Romney spokesman and current Tool Kevin Madden

Republicans are, quite seriously, anti-American douchebags. To think that Hawaii isn’t American enough for them goes back to the whole Palinite BS argument about “real Americans”. I live in a desert surrounded by casinos and mountains. No one in Nebraska would find any similarity with that at all, but that person and I are both Americans.

There’s probably some conservative racist code words in there too I imagine.

Best reply to this asshole who thinks only Texas can be viewed as the standard for America?

Yeah, uh, that state whose leaders want it to actually become a foreign place via secession?

– Commenter BobbyG

Because Republicans truly are nitwits who need to stop being taken seriously until they grow up.

You know, if FAUXNews was some operation out of some small town on the Plains, you’d feel bad for them saying stupid shit like this. Instead, one of our biggest media companies has a problem with him because he speaks actual English instead of the Hooked-on-Phonics crap they trade in.

Seriously, how freaking stupid can Republicans be? First they spend millions and decades on trying to force everyone (except Southerners) to speak English. Now that we finally have a president again who can speak it, they don’t understand what he’s saying.

Morons.

A roundup of the screwups and lies of the GOP that directly led to a rich man’s kid trying to blow up an airplane.

Arlen Specter tells us what we already know: that the GOP is so determined to not let President Obama succeed that they are willing to screw over (and in the case of health care reform – kill) American citizens just to score talking points.

I have always thought that the fearful, chickenshit Republicans running around screaming about “Islamofascists” did a better job oh promoting al-Qaeda better than even terrorist spokesmen.

Glad to see others agree on this.

Not that this meme, like most Republican ones, deserves to even be noticed as rational, but Bob Cesca points out that Bush waited more than a week to address the Shoe Bomber incident. You know, another failed terrorist attack.

Plus, he didn’t even bother to address the DC sniper deaths. At all.

Where was the Rethug outrage then?

Man, did I need a good laugh this morning and this editorial brings it. Not the editorial itself, I totally agree, but the wingnut commenters.

Damn, people are stupid. Comparing Bush’s overreaction to 9/11 to Obama’s (correct) assessment that this was one loon on one plane, carry on. Another commenter wisely pointed out:

“An idiot boards a plane in Amsterdam, and just before landing here sets himself on fire. According to larryvegas, it’s Obamas fault. More of the crazy tin foil, skull cap, very far right wing propaganda. George W. gets his daily briefing, learns there is a imenent attack planned, goes on vacation, and we have 9/11. Can you really compare the two incidents?”

The year in FAUXNews obstructionism.

Fair and balanced my ass.
