Stupid Republican idea of the day

[commasense]

@Oy

…In the US now, we have a bunch of people who didn’t make a peep when the administration was tapping into all of their electronic communications and monitoring the books they checked out from the library, but is now in a frenzy because a Congresswoman wanted to change the hold music on her telephone.

[Emphasis mine.]

Not picking on you, Oy!, but this is how these phony stories gain traction. The linked story clearly states that Pelosi had nothing to do with the proposed change, but in recounting the story, the false take is repeated. With enough repetitions, it becomes accepted truth.

The only solution is to denounce lies as lies every time, and never to buy into the false meme, even if it’s easy shorthand.

[Oy]

You’re quite right; I hadn’t read it carefully. Mea culpa.

Wow, everyone’s a Nazi these days!

Dude, it’s the awesome uniforms, I’m telling you.

@jsgoddess

You know how those Nazis are. Doin’ magic. Makin’ TV shows.

(insert tasteless jokes about making 6 million people disappear)

@SteveMB

Oopsie – looks like Bob McDonnell should have put more spirit gum on his “moderate” mask so that it would hold through the (Virginia gubernatorial) election:

So, you’re saying that we finally know Starving Dipshit’s real-world identity?

Also from the article: “The White House has said the president would be urging students to ‘(take) responsibility for their success in school.’”

I thought that was the GOP’s problem with negroes - none of them taking responsibility. Silly Obama, taking some of the GOP’s socialist positions.

Slow down and start over. That was the message from top Capitol Hill Republicans in advance of President Barack Obama’s address Wednesday night to Congress and the nation on health care.

“Our view is: Let’s scale it back, target the problems and not have the government take over, in effect, all of American health care,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said.

Apparently they’ve all been too busy fucking their girlfriends this past nine months to do the people’s business. They’ve had the chance to ‘get it right’. They’ve steadfastly refused to take it. It’s time for them to move aside and let those who are prepared to govern, govern; and for God’s sake quit being such whiny bastards about everything.

How’s the kidney expropriation bill going?

Not to say that some Democrats don’t also have problems keeping their parts inside their pants around inappropriate persons, but please don’t talk about it in front of a live mike. Especially when you’ve staked your reputation on being a “family values” candidate. I mean, really – not just cheating on your wife, but cheating on your mistress, too? I also love how his public “apology” apologizes only for the comments, not for the affairs.

The really serious thing about this one isn’t that he cheated on his wife (and mistress). The really serious (and probably illegal) thing about this is that both of his mistresses were lobbyists and he was apparently exchanging legislative favors for sex.

Imagine a pirate’s eyepatch. Now imagine that eyepatch connected to three strings. Now imagine that that little eyepatch is the only thing covering up some woman’s crotchal area.

I’d say that bringing handmade signs, birther letters, and yelling “Liar!” at a Presidential address to Congress counts as a pretty stupid idea of the day.

Is she hot?

Apparently Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) was the one who shouted out "You lie"during the president’s speech.

Poochie strikes again!

@Michael Steele

He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office. “Oh gee, wouldn’t it be neat to do that? Gee, wouldn’t it make all of our liberal guilt just go away? We can continue to ride around in our limousines and feel so lucky to live in an America with a black president.”

Limousines? What the… Well, thank you for that window onto your own life, Poochie.

[jayjay]

That man wouldn’t know irony if it humped him from behind with a brass band playing.

[Punoqllads]

The Mike Duvall trainwreck gets even uglier. Now he’s saying that despite what he said, he’s not cheating on his wife. And isn’t cheating on his mistress, either. Which he doesn’t have in the first place, because he’s not having an affair.

And if you believe that, I have a copy of OJ’s “If I Did It” to sell you.

Hey! I never got a limousine! The only time I’ve ever even ridden in one was at my mom’s funeral. When the fuck do I get my limousine?!?

It also counts as the entirety of the GOP party platform.

Under the new health care system, the death panel will kill your mom. But it’s far superior to other Soviet health care plans in that you don’t get charged for the bullet, and the funeral limo is reimbursible.

Get yourself adopted and you can ride to your new mom’s funeral on the government’s dime.

Obama wasn’t vetted? There’s chilling overtones of beware unpatriotic thoughts! His supporters know there’s a load of racists out there looking for any excuse (Not all of them Republicans: Hillary can put up a dirty fight when she wants to) and the Rebuplicans have shifted so far the raving right that they’d question Joe McCarthy’s patriotism.

Their guy comes from the least American of the states way out in the Pacific with more links there than to the mainland. Both his father and stepfather are foreign, he has spent part of his childhood at school under a dictator who was no great friend of the USA and he bears a Muslim name.

So they didn’t bother to make sure he was so squeaky clean that detergent would dirty him :smack: Really :rolleyes:
