Even if it’s a scam, it brought us the phrase “relentlessly gay” and its associated dragon. That balances a lot of scales.
It’s hard to put a price on a meme. Or, maybe not.

It’s almost as if sticking with “They were killed for being Christians” would have been a better idea.
I understand them trying to steer the conversation away from guns. I don’t agree with them doing so, but I understand, from their viewpoint, why they’d want to.

Racism and idiocy are not mutually exclusive. Au contraire!
I think they’re invested in giving their audience what they want to hear. And their audience is largely of the ilk of “there’s no racism … I know I’m not a racist … why are blacks making such a big deal about this … everything would be better if they just shut up…”
Saying whites want to kill blacks doesn’t inspire fear in anyone who would likely vote for or contribute to the Republican Party.
Saying atheists (or whatever) want to kill Christians, though… that’ll whip up boatloads of fear-votes and fear-bucks.

They are respnsible for algebra? Hey, FUCK THOSE GUYS!!!
And the roads.
And camels. We wouldn’t have those funny Geico ads.
It helps to remember that snide snarkers like me used to insinuate that GeeDubya was an Aggie. Rick Perry actually is an Aggie.
By way of our friends over at Crooks and Liars…

I suspect he meant to say “incident” and either misspoke or just doesn’t know the correct word. Rather spectacular flub, regardless.
