I’m am equally shocked, shocked, to learn that Republicans believe these things. 
C’mon folks, there’ve got to be some new Republican stupidities around. I think we’re recycling the old ones too much.
The again, how often do Republicans come up with new ideas, even stupid ones, about anything?
Even better in context:
Yeah, gays are bound to understand better when you use a marriage analogy. :smack:
Ahh . . . boyz . . . reality check. Neither one of you could have won.
But together, think of the awesome synergy! 
Snipping and re-quoting… “. . . they’re trying to diminish any form of religion. The goal is to marginalize religious opposition . . . In Scandanavia, there are laws that say you cannot criticize minorities and if you do, you could be arrested. Secular progressives want laws like that here.”
The guy has problems with logic, doesn’t he? How would we possible “diminish any form of religion” if there are laws saying we can’t “criticize minorities?” Doesn’t he get it that he, himself, is in a minority?
(This being the Pit, “fuck him sideways with ten toothbrushes and one of Joe Biden’s jogging shoes.”)
Fox News: If Obama takes away our assault weapons, how will we defend ourselves when Iran and Syria invade?
But without assault weapons, how can we celebrate our enforced Muslim weddings? For a supposed smart and thoughtful person I don’t think Obama has thought through all the ramifications of his gun grabbing.
Easy. The American assault weapon is the AR-15. The traditional wedding weapon is the AK-47. The AK gets a wedding exemption, the AR gets banned.
He also has a problem with political geography. There are no such thing as “Scandinavian laws”. Heck, Scandinavians can’t even agree on the definition of Scandinavia*.
*I’ve seen Scandinavia variously used to describe Norway, Denmark and Sweden, or Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, or Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.

If the GOP were just some comic-book fantasy, could their Presidential candidacy teams be any more laughable?
I heard that McCain was something of a rageaholic and of course a political whore, but I never heard he was particularly any dimmer than his colleagues.
He’s a Republican. Q.E.D.
I was astounded that McCain, for whom foreign military affairs was supposed to be a strong suit, frequently confuses Sunnis with Shi’ites. He doesn’t just reverse the names, but, for example, speaks of the Iran leadership and al-Qaeda as being of the same Islam branch. :smack:
The term “low-IQ” might have been wrong, but by 2008 McCain was definitely long past his use-by date.
I read “The low-IQ war hero and the cheerleader” as GHWB and Quayle, with McCain as the Grinch. But I find that the less I dwell on the GOP, the lower my blood pressure.
This reads like satire, but it’s apparently real. Tea Partiers are boycotting Fox News for being too liberal.
This is too too precious, but I refuse to believe it until there are some more confirming stories.
Even better is the break-out quote the piece gives, in huge letters:
Say what you will about GHWB, but I don’t think low IQ applies. He was CIA Director.
Oh, c’mon, George “slam dunk” Tenent was CIA Director too. My favorite Tenent story is about the guy they captured ahead of time – the sharp-witted guy in flight school who told his instructors not to bother teaching him how to land, and got arrested by the FBI weeks before the attacks. Some people in the lower levels of the FBI and CIA knew that was critical intelligence pointing directly to the use of commercial aircraft as weapons, and they got the report of the circumstances of the arrest into Tenent’s hands within a week. The result was … nothing. No orders, or even discussions about, checking out other students in flight schools, tightening airline security, or any other possible investigative options. “Heck of a job, Tenent! You’re going to get the highest medal that can be given for sitting on your ass.”
Tenet.
