Top Ten Conservative Idiots of the Week

[Nanjing to Seoul]

[font style="font-size:1.539em; text-transform:uppercase;"]The Complete Bullshit EDITION[/font]

The theme in this week’s edition is bullshit. As a tribute to the last George Carlin album, the idea to remember is “It’s all bullshit, and it’s bad for you.”

What do you do if you are major news agency and have been given something explosive against a sitting presidents? If you’re CBS, you air it without any fact checking (1). If you’re Sarah Palin, you spot off from the hip racism that would make a Klansman blush (2). If you’re Darrell Issa, you launch another investigation against that same sitting president (5) If you’re Rush Limbaugh, you go into another sexist attack again women (10). And as always, don't forget the key. Remember, you can run your mouse over the icon to see what it means.

Sometimes, the rush to be first isn’t always the best way to run a news media outfit. Because in the rush to be first, usually the responsiblity to be correct is thrown into the trashcan. 60 Minutes is proof of that. Last week, 60 minutes ran a nice little “Screw Obama” piece on the right wing’s favorite manfactured scandal, Benghazi. Of course, right wing idiots everywhere watched this piece Lara Logan ran and then promptly blew their wad over their photos of Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin (not that there’s anything wrong with that. . .right loser in Virginia Ken Cuccinelli).

They have Obama by the short hairs now. Time to put the Communist, Socialist, Fascist, Black Empowerment Kenyan to sleep forever! IMPEACHMENT TIME!!! Climb on the High Crimes and Misdermeanors bandwagon.

Everything was going smoothly until some guys, a know nothing named Dylan Davies, threw water on the fire and began to ruin all of the right wing’s Obama slamming buzz. This is important because he is the man source of this story.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Mr. Davies, who worked for Blue Mountain, has disavowed the incident report, saying in an interview last week with the online magazine The Daily Beast that he did not write it and had never even seen it, and was not responsible for the account of events it contained.

The contradictions between the versions offered in the incident report and what was presented on television and in the book —Mr. Davies appeared on the program and wrote the book under the pseudonym Morgan Jones — have led to questions about how “60 Minutes” came to present Mr. Davies as a credible source for its extensive report on the Benghazi incident.

The incident report described Mr. Davies as remaining at the villa he occupied in Libya and not getting to the scene on the night of the attack. In the version he wrote in his book and gave to “60 Minutes,” Mr. Davies said he left the villa that night to visit a hospital, where he said he saw the body of the deceased ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens, and twice rushed to the scene of the attack.

Umm. . .him. So, the source of this piece never wrote it and never said it? Really? No matter, he’s just one source. Surely, it’s not all bad.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]McClatchy News has offered a damning critique of 60 Minutes' now-retracted story on the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, pointing out that several aspects of the story feature minimal sourcing and contradict the statements of experts.

The report comes as CBS News discloses that a "journalistic review" of the heavily criticized October 27 segment, which featured a since-discredited "witness" and promoted his book on the attacks without disclosing that the book was published by a CBS division. CBS has declined to explain who is conducting that review, how it is being conducted, and whether its findings will be public.

During the segment, correspondent Lara Logan made a number of claims about the attack and its perpetrators, often sourced only with the statement "e have learned" or with nothing at all. McClatchy News Middle East Bureau Chief Nancy Youssef's reporting suggests that these claims were also inaccurate. Given that the report's sources included a man whose account CBS News has already acknowledged was fraudulent, it's fair to question the sourcing of other claims in the report.

A full, complete, and independent investigation of the segment could provide answers to these and other questions about CBS News' reporting.

Oh shit. Sounds likes someone needs to get fired fast. So, what will CBS do? Well, after, at first, standing behind the story, the damned internets research came in and. . .Dammit to all hell, they are flat wrong. Time to apologize and retract.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]CBS correspondent Lara Logan apologized Friday and said the network was "wrong" for a "60 Minutes" report that raised questions about the Obama administration's response to last year's attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The assault left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

"In this case, we were wrong. We made a mistake," she said on "CBS This Morning." "That's disappointing for any journalist. It's very disappointing for me."

A primary source for the "60 Minutes" report on October 27 was a security contractor using the pseudonym "Morgan Jones," later identified as Dylan Davies. Davies told CBS he was able to reach the Benghazi compound on the night of September 11, 2012, scale a wall and even fight off a militant.

Questions need to be asked. Questions like “what drugs are these people smoking” and “how much do prescription IQ blockers and stupid pills cost” and “why give the lead journalist of this story this Obama slamming mix when she’s married to a Bush boot licker? Isn’t this a massive conflict of interest” need to be asked.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Many people know that in 2008 Logan married Joseph W. Burkett, a defense contractor she met while stationed in Baghdad to cover the Iraq War for CBS News. Logan and Burkett were both married to other people when they became involved, and the story of their war-zone love affair—complete with reports of a brawl between Burkett and CNN's Michael Ware, another rival for Logan's affections—lit up the tabloids at the time.

"What most people don’t know, however, is the nature of Burkett’s work in Iraq. He was an employee of the Lincoln Group, a now-shuttered “strategic communications and public relations firm” hired by the Department of Defense in 2005 to plant positive stories written by American soldiers in Baghdad newspapers during the Iraq War.

“He did information operations,” one former colleague of Burkett's told Gawker. “It was really spooky stuff. We worked with one of those special spooky IO outfits that didn’t even have a unit patch.” It's the kind of work for which a close relationship with an American network correspondent might come in handy.

And it paid handsomely. Under an “indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract,” the Pentagon promised the Lincoln Group up to $100,000,000 to assist the military’s Joint Psychological Operations with controlling local media coverage of the American occupation. The Lincoln Group later became the target of congressional and Defense Department investigators over its handling of U.S. cash and its propaganda tactics."

Oops. . .big problem. Even more so for professional Obama hater and John McCain’s adult diaper sniffer Lindsay Graham, who is now in a massive amount of egg on his face.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Last week, CBS News correspondent Lara Logan admitted that she made a "mistake" after reports showed that her source, security contractor Dylan Davies, was not at the U.S. mission in Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attack as he had claimed.

In an interview with CNN late last month, Graham had cited the Davies interview while repeating his threat to block all of the president's nominations until survivors of the Benghazi attack testified before Congress.

"But the 60 Minutes story was not true," CNN's Candy Crowley noted on Sunday. "Will you now end your threat to place a hold on the president's nominees?"

"No, my request has been going on for a year to talk to the survivors," Graham insisted. "I never asked for the British contractor. I didn't know he existed."

Now what are you going to do, Lindsay? You need another thing to slam Obama on, disrupt the government and prove to everyone you aren’t just a racist ass passing off his racism as “policy disagreements.”

Let’s go after Obamacare. CBS did a story on it after this Benghasm. . .maybe this one will be Obama’s political death.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]CBS News, currently under fire for airing a dubious 60 Minutes report that relied on discredited source Dylan Davies, aired a report on the Affordable Care Act based entirely off selectively leaked partial transcripts from ACA opponent, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).

On the November 11 edition of CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reported on supposed "security risks" surrounding the law's exchange website, HealthCare.gov. Host Scott Pelley alleged that the project manager in charge of building the site "was apparently kept in the dark about serious failures in the website's security." Pelley speculated that this could eventually lead to "identity theft among people buying insurance.":

The basis for this report was a "partial transcript" obtained by CBS correspondent Attkisson and provided to her by House Oversight Chairman Rep. Issa.

Oh snap. . .not him again. And not this again. Doesn’t anyone at CBS news verify sources before they air stupid shit, or does it all just go into the “a Republican toad told us this, so it must be true because they never lie about anything” file?

Well, they do lie. And they seem to also alter emails so their position looks better. Anything to get back the complete power they had under Cokehead McPlasticturkey.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.

CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

The GOP version of Rhodes' comment, according to CBS News: "We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don't want to undermine the FBI investigation."

The White House email: "We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation."

So, let’s recap:

01: CBS files a bullshit story with an even more bullshit source.
02: The right wing eats up this bullshit and wants to impeach Obama on their bullshit scandal.
03: When the bullshit is too strong, they issue a bullshit apology.
04: They then issue another bullshit story where their source are altered emails from one of the Republican Party’s chief bullshit artists, Darrell Issa?
05: All the while, not understand that bullshit like this is what makes most Americans think the news media is complete bullshit.

Quoting Carlin: “The media is sitting at Bullshit Junction.” And CBS has the biggest piece that smells almost as bad as CNN’s and Fixed Noise’s.

Gidgot is back and more stupid than ever. There was a bumper crop of Sarah Palin’s Turds of Wisdom last week. It all started when she showed the world her ”excellent grammar skills”.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Sarah Palin, while promoting her new "war on Christmas" book, was asked this question by Matt Lauer this morning. Her answer: 35 seconds of word salad.

"The plan is to allow those things that had been proposed over many years to reform a health-care system in America that certainly does need more help so that there's more competition, there's less tort reform threat, there's less trajectory of the cost increases, and those plans have been proposed over and over again. And what thwarts those plans? It's the far left. It's President Obama and his supporters who will not allow the Republicans to usher in free market, patient-centered, doctor-patient relationship links to reform health care. "

Wow. . .I wonder his her face turned blue with that 35 second bullshit. Let’s edit to make the crap a little easier to read and listen to.

It's President Obama and his supporters who will not allow the Republicans to usher in free market, patient-centered, doctor-patient relationship links to reform health care. "

However, her magnum opus this week was when she went to a speaking engagement in Iowa and compared debt to slavery. Yes, she actually did that!

“Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China,” she said at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition's fall fundraiser at the State Fairgrounds Saturday night. “When that money comes due – and this isn’t racist, but it’ll be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to beholden to the foreign master.”

Where were you when Bush sold our children’s future to the big bad boogeyman of China to fund his Great Economic Toilet Flush and his Grand Adventure in the Sand? No where. Let’s get more of your turds of wisdom, Sister Sarah.

“We’re not wards of the state but free men and women who can live good and productive lives without D.C.’s appointed best and brightest telling us what to do,” she said.

02: The Republican Establishment: “Remember their promise that they would do everything in their power to fight against socialized medicine, against Obamacare?” she said, as the crowd jumped, cheering, to its feet. “When it came time to stand and defund it, they waived the white flag of surrender and they threw under the bus the good guys who did stand up and fight.”

03: “Christmas is under attack,” she said.

04: “I say in a very jolly Christmasy way: ‘Enough is enough,’” she said. “Enough is enough of this politically correct police out there that is acting to erode our freedom to celebrate and exercise our faith.”

Wow, that’s alot of bullshit to swallow. Time to pick it apart point by point:

01: And how do you propose to do that? More tax cuts for the wealthy so they can pocket the money and create more jobs overseas where they can exploit a cheaper labor pool in countries with limited to zero labor protects? That is what got us into this mess in 2008, Sarah.

02: You don’t remember all the votes, the shutting down the government, the 21 hour Ted talk and the pandering to the Koch Brothers? CSPAN must make cartoons for you to follow along, Sarah.

03: Yes, because Christains in America are sooooo oppressed by those who don’t celebrate Christmas.

04: What about others rights to exercise their faith? I remember a Islamic Community Center was going to be built near Ground Zero and people went ape-shit? Why can’t they?

Interestingly enough, the great handwriter from the North seems to be losing her luster among the wingnuts that fawn all over her.

Sometimes, the racism of right wingers is so strong it cannot be hidden. This racism can be so strong it can’t be hidden. Rafael Cruz, father of Texas dimwit Ted “Booze” Cruz is proving that with every ignorant word he says.

Apparently, when he spoke at the Freedom Works Idiot Convention, he took offense that someone stated the racist idea about Hispanics being uninformed or deceived. Can’t say that to Daddy Cruz. He’s Latino. So, how did he respond to this racism? Why, with even more racism.

"Well, the same thing is true of the black population,” Cruz said.

Cruz also suggested how blacks and Hispanics should vote. “As a matter of fact, if we could communicate the truth, not only to the Hispanics but to the black population, all blacks should be Republican," he said.

Again. . .(speechless).

Cruz finished his speech by shitting on a Koran, pissing on a photo of Malcolm X and flipping off the first black person he founded not named Allen West, screaming something about Jesus and Castro. I don’t know. . .who give’s a rat’s ass? This 80 year old fossil gets too much press anyway.

Issa claimed in his release, sent after 7 p.m. on Veterans Day, that the official in charge of running the health care exchanges -- or the "Federal Facilitated Marketplaces" -- found it "disturbing" to have not seen a Sept. 3 memo that seemed to indicate six security risks, including two deemed to be high.

Indeed, Henry Chao, the deputy chief information officer and deputy director of the Office of Information Services at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), acknowledged in a Nov. 1 interview with Issa's committee investigators that it was “disturbing” he hadn't seen the memo and appeared to have been excluded.

But Democratic committee staff pointed out that the memo talks about two specific systems: the "Qualified Health Plans (QHP) and Dental modules." CMS told the Oversight Committee that the relevant parts of those programs will not be online until the spring, meaning they actually pose no security risk now, Democrats said. On top of that, the systems flagged as potentially posing a risk will be used by insurance companies and will not transmit people's personal information, they said.

No. . .this can’t be true. I mean, Issa was CBS’s source for a story after the Benghazi bullshit blew up in their face.

Can’t Issa just admit he’s going after Obama because of the (D) next to Obama’s name? Or maybe the color of his skin. . .after all, if black and hispanic people can be uninformed and deceived as Rafael Cruz says, then so can white people like Darrell Issa.

In their neverending quest for complete political irrelevancy, the House GOP is now beginning to realize taking down a sitting president might not be the easiest or best thing in the world. Especially when that president is well liked and is viewed as someone trying to solve problems.

Since the House voted in 2012 to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, the pattern of disregard for the rule of law and refusal to be forthright has only continued," Texas Representative Pete Olson, who drafted the articles, said in a statement provided to Reuters on Wednesday.

"The American people deserve answers and accountability. If the attorney general refuses to provide answers, then Congress must take action."

The Justice Department did not respond to requests for comment on the possibility of an impeachment move.

They are not specific on which laws he broke. . .nor do they seem to notice that Bush and Cheney broke the “rule of law” constantly as Prez and Veep. Pete Olsen seems to forget something simple. . .this will never pass the Senate and will be viewed as just another witchhunt. Last time they did this, was in 1998 and the Democrats picked up seats in the Senate and House.

GO FOR IT, GOP!!! Keep digging that grave. You’re going to need a bigger shovel.

Texas uber-loon and resident “They’re coming to take me away haha” psycho Louie Gohmert “Pyle” continues to be the political equivlent to herpes. He truly his the gift that keeps on giving. More and more comedy.

Drawing into his inner Alex Jones, Gohmert unleashed a torrent of conspiracy theories that would make even Jones say “WTF is wrong with this guy?” According to Raw Story, Gohmert went onto a Christian conservative’s radio show and promptly got himself fitted with an industrial strength tin-foil hat.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) recently repeated a debunked conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was deploying a “secret security force” as part of the health care reform law, but he wasn’t sure if they were being trained with weapons or syringes.

In a Friday interview, Christian radio host Janet Mefferd told the Texas congressman that the evidence of President Barack Obama creating a civilian security force and hoarding ammunition was adding up.

Gohmert agreed that “Obamacare wasn’t just about health care” and pointed to a section of the Affordable Care Act that created the Ready Reserve Corps to “assist full-time Commissioned Corps personnel to meet both routine public health and emergency response missions.”

While FactCheck.org has debunked conspiracy theories that claimed the health care law gave “Obama a Nazi-like ‘private army’ of 6,000 people,” Gohmert still believed there could be evil lurking behind the Ready Reserve Corps.

Wow, do these rubes eat this shit up or what? Obama is now a nazi again. And there’s danger in them thar words. . .I don’t know the danger, but evil is lurking, so be afraid. “I see no people.” AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later in the week, the bald Texas speedbump burped out religious hyperbabble that would make people turn their heads again. Again, according to Raw Story:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]A tea party lawmaker cited the Bible during a speech Wednesday on the House floor criticizing the Obama administration for its treatment of Israel. “There are many who have been aware of Scripture, and it has often been a guide in our relations with Israel,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX). “Some of us believe that the Bible is accurate. Certainly, so many prophesies have been fulfilled, and if that is true, this administration, unless they can find a verse that accurately says that those who betray Israel will be blessed, then this country is being dug in a deeper hole by this administration and its betrayals of Israel’s trust and Israel’s friendship.” Gohmert said President Barack Obama had urged Israel to enter into a nuclear nonproliferation treaty with other Middle Eastern nations, which he said would require the nation to disclose and give up its undeclared nuclear weapons. “This was viewed and discussed as being the first time in people’s memory when the United States, by and through its administration — the Obama administration — had taken action that was very adverse to Israel and the international community, and particularly in the U.N.,” Gohmert told lawmakers. “Normally we did not side with Israel’s enemies.”

After the interview, Gohmert stoned an adulterer, sacrificed a goat to his God, killed a woman who wasn’t a virgin when she got married and tried to turn someone from Sodom into salt. Then he built and ark and waited for the rain.

Because biblical principles are where everyone goes. So, polygamy, slavery and subjugating women is a-okay now?

Now it’s time to play “who can screw the working man more?” Remember, the narrative is Democrats and Republicans are no different.

So, those burping that meme, please Explain this:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Ten states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin — have passed preemption laws that ban all cities and counties from enacting paid sick days bills, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute.

Big business has been helping to fuel this tide of legislation. As the report notes, “In each of the ten states, the bills’ sponsors included members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). And in each case, the bills were adopted following vigorous advocacy by corporate lobbies such as the Chamber of Commerce, National Federation of Independent Business, and Restaurant Association.”

Paid sick leave is now something terrible in America that the corporate owners and their teabagging lackeys have made it illegal in 10 states. Right to work law. . .right to work sick, dying, incapacitated or unable due to medical problems. All for minimum wage, but if ALEC and these teabaggers have their way, workers will soon pay their employers for the privilege of showing up to to work.

This gets even more disgusting.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Yet even though these business opponents claim that paid sick days would create unbearable costs, the evidence from those places that do have paid sick leave shows that they can be beneficial. Business growth and job growth have been strong under Seattle’s law. Job growth has also been strong in San Francisco and its law enjoys strong business support. The policies in Washington, DC and Connecticut have come at little cost for businesses. In fact, expanding DC’s current law would net employers $2 million in savings even with potential costs factored in. On the other hand, the average employer loses $225 per worker each year thanks to lost productivity when they get sick and can’t take paid leave.

See. . .screwing the worker benefits business. The math proves it. . .if you’re a idiot.

But they aren’t done. Check out this map below:

Here is the adjoining story, from TPM:

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]Starting Jan. 1, nearly five million people who were supposed to be covered under Obamacare won't be because their states have refused to expand Medicaid.

Ohio became the 25th state to join the expansion last month, and more states could still sign onto it. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) has proposed an alternate form of expansion that would require federal approval, and Terry McAuliffe's election this week as Virginia's next governor increases the likelihood that his state will eventually expand the program. New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) has called a special legislative session this month to try to hammer out an expansion deal in her state.

But for now, according to the foundation, 4.8 million Americans won't be covered as the law intended in those non-expanding states. They don't qualify for Medicaid now, but would have under the expansion, and they don't make enough money to qualify for financial help to buy private coverage. They're Obamacare's other losers, while media coverage focuses on those people whose individual policies are being canceled under the law.

Allan Grayson was right. The Republican health plan:

01: Don’t get sick.
02: If you do get sick, die quickly.

Why did the US fight to bring the South back?

Gun rights are under attack. Everyday, these gun control Communists walk the street and threaten the lives of innocent gun carrying people. Victimizing their prey, they use things like words to shoot and kill their opponents.

Well, that’s going to stop! Especially in Texas!

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]On Saturday, nearly 40 armed men, women, and children waited outside a Dallas, Texas area restaurant to protest a membership meeting for the state chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun safety advocacy group formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

According to a spokeswoman for Moms Demand Action (MDA), the moms were inside the Blue Mesa Grill when members of Open Carry Texas (OCT) — an open carry advocacy group — “pull up in the parking lot and start getting guns out of their trunks.” The group then waited in the parking lot for the four MDA members to come out. The spokeswoman said that the restaurant manager did not want to call 911, for fear of “inciting a riot” and waited for the gun advocates to leave. The group moved to a nearby Hooters after approximately two hours.

Inciting a riot? When there are 40 gun totting nut-jobs outside terrorizing unarmed mothers having lunch? That could never happen. Is there a photo of these “patriots?”

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]

Hmmm, all white. All men. . All stupid!

Quick, there’s a mom who supports gun control. She’s unarmed! SCARE HER TO DEATH! And if she turns to look at us, STAND YOUR GROUND and unleash hell on her, one hot bullet at a time.

Fucking cowards! At least the MDA is alot more tactful than I am.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]MDA later released a statement calling OCT “gun bullies” who “disagree with our goal of changing America’s gun laws and policies to protect our children and families.” The statement added that the members and restaurant customers were “terrified by what appeared to be an armed ambush.” A member of OCT responded by tweeting, “I guess I’m a #gunbullies #Comeandtakeit.”

Sad to know their manhood extenders are showing. As is their lack of intellect and class. Maybe it’s good the police didn’t show up. They probably would have supported the gundamentalists and arrested the MDA for something baseless, like “inciting a riot.”

Way to stay classy, Texas!

And finally, it’s time for another edition of “How many sponsors will Rush Limbaugh lose now?” Sexism and racism being his forte, he launched into another sexist rant against Obamacare. This time, again, lashing out at women.

[div class="excerpt" style="background-color:#F4E0E0; border:1px solid #E8C0C0; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #C66666 inset; border-radius:0.6em; margin:0.5385em 0em 0em 0.5385em;"]The radio host accused the Obama administration of giving "fake" information to young people in order to promote Obamacare by implying that birth control and contraceptives are "free."

Limbaugh warned young people about falling into this trap, and decoded what he believes the ads are "really promising." "If you like being promiscuous, you can keep on being promiscuous," he said. "If you like being a prostitute, then have at it!"

So just to clarify, Limbaugh insists that the message of Obamacare is this: "If you like your risky, promiscuous lifestyle, you can keep it. That's what Obama is promising."

(speechless)

Is he still on drugs? Did he just say that? All women are hookers? Because of birth control and contraceptives in the ACA?

Two can play this game: Since the ACA doesn’t allow denial for pre-existing conditions, any brain damaged Republican that listens to this shit can go any nearby emergency room for a lobotomy fully covered. IF they can can find your brain!

See you next week.

PS: In order to be fair to our Southerner who accused me of having an anti-Southerner bias in the article, here is a head count:
5 = Number of southerners on the list (southerner meaning those from states that seceded from the Union in 1860)
9 = Number of non-southerners on the list
