Republican Party uses image of President Obama consoling Newtown mother to mock his agenda

by Jed Lewison

This is classy: The Republican National Committee has a new video mocking President Obama's legislative agenda and 19 seconds in, with a voiceover from ABC's Jon Karl saying after "just 100 days" President Obama "has already faced a string of defeats in Congress," the video tries to show what a loser the president is by cutting to this image:



Yeah, that would be President Obama at the White House consoling Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan was killed in the Newtown massacre. To most folks, this is an image of a president trying to comfort a grieving mother. To the Republican National Committee, however, it's an image worth mocking, because their party managed to filibuster gun safety legislation in the Senate.

Well, congratulations, guys. We'll thank you in 2014.

2. Despite my differences with a lot of liberals and some of the Dem agenda, ...

... this kind of hate is exactly why I would NEVER consider going back to the Republican Party. I was still a registered Republican when I voted for Clinton the first time, and I never looked back.

Mocking it just lets you know (as if we didn't already know!) what slimeballs they really are.

What a bunch of sick fucks.
