“OK, OK, sorry I asked, put the gun away, all right?”
“But I’m just getting to the main part! So, anyway, beginning in the third century B.C.E…and I use ‘B.C.E.’ rather than ‘B.C.’ in deference to the more modern convention, which, as you may know…”
I think this one takes the prize. In typical Republican fashion, they tried to game the system to get their way, but their bluff was called.
Kansas Republicans May Have Just Shut Down the State’s Court System
Whatever you linked to seems to have gone bye-bye.
He might have meant this thread bestowing the award for epic wrongness on him. Or perhaps this other one calling him a bigot. Or it may have just been a “find all posts by adaher” search.
Really, though, we should all give him no more thought than that schmutz we scrape off our shoes. He is bubkes.
You people just need to block him. He’s a troll that has worn out his hilarity. It used to be fun to see how wrong he can be and use facts against him to see what kind of spin he could put on it, but it just became sad
Tennessee mom (the story does not say she is a Republican, but, you know . . .) wants The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks banned from public schools as “pornographic.”
In fairness, this thread usually deals with the stupidity of political or media figures who are Republicans. If we opened it up to the idiocy of individual members of the public… think of the poor hamsters!
(Of course if the school board goes along with her request, and is Republican, it will be totally fair game… or if Mike Huckabee shows up at a rally with her.)
Well, she’s a private citizen sticking her finger snerk in public, political affairs; that’s fair game if stupid, I should think, and this is stupid.
This bloated thread has been a graveyard for hundreds of hamsters – not counting the ones who surrendered their freedom in service of gay Rs.
hashtag sigh?
Thomas Friedman must read this thread.
I’m happy to have Scooter laughed at by a wider audience.
The Republicans are holding hearings on Planned Parenthood, inviting all of the usual anti-abortion talking heads. But they have apparently “forgotten” to invite anyone from Planned Parenthood.
Is he called Scooter because he is never in Wisconsin?
Ok, this belongs in the campaign thread, but here, as well, for its two-prong stupidity. Funny-hair-guy walks onstage at an event to the tune of It’s the End of the World as We Know It, not only making himself look toxic but also pissing off that there band.
This seems to be a pattern. Republicans have often misappropriated copyrighted music for their events, without permission of the rights-holders.
Aren’t they supposed to be the party that respects property rights?
Technically speaking, I think that as long as a they pay for the rights through ASCAP or BMI, any campaign has the right to use any copyrighted music they want at public gatherings. (The issue of using music in commercials is somewhat different.)
AFAIK, it’s only a matter of courtesy, not law, to ask the creator/composer for permission. In the field of politics, it is wise for campaigns to obtain that permission: composers may very well not wish to appear to endorse a candidate who uses their music, nor does it look good for the candidate when a musician publicly repudiates him or her.
But I don’t think musicians have a legal right to refuse to allow their songs to be played at rallies and other gatherings.
This is where Gohmert tells a bible story about boiling and eating babies. therefore Planned Parenthood must be defunded.
Huckabee thinks that the Dred Scott decision is the law of the land that has been ignored. So Kim Davis can continue ignoring laws if she wants to.
And if elected President he too can ignore the law of the land if he so chooses. Even if he has to make up those laws in order to ignore them.
Looks like somebody got his diaper in a twist:
