8 Words of Stupidity for 2/5/2009 #7

I am glad these traitorous leaders of the Republican Party appointed this Black racist, affirmative action advocate to the head of the Republican party because this will lead to a huge revolt among the Republican base. As a former Republican official, I can tell you that millions of rank-and-file Republicans are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore! We will either take the Republican Party back over the next four years or we will say, "To Hell With the Republican Party!" And we will take 90 percent of Republicans with us into a New Party that will take its current place!

I think the insanity of nominating "Mr. Amnesty" John McCain and now this Black racist - will lead to insurgency in the Republican ranks, and a lot of dissidents getting elected in Republican Party primaries around the country. This will result over the next four years a real move by millions of Republicans to take the party back to the populist issues that are not only right but can win for the Republican Party. We must end affirmative action, protect our gun rights and all our constitutional rights, have a moratorium on immigration, we must have protectionism, yes I said protect American businesses and their workers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have America First, not foreign interventionism. Our boys should be home protecting the American borders a not being murdered on the borders of Iraq or Afghanistan. The time as come for Republican Party to stand up to Obama and defend American heritage, rights, and freedom!

...Let's make this abomination in the Republican Party, the last major party of White redoubt, as a rallying cry of resistance!

- David Duke, white supremacist and all around typical Republican, on the selection of Michael Steele as chairman of the RNC.

So, do we pretend that David Duke doesn't speak for much of the Republican rank and file? Give me a break. Of course he does. Yes, establishment Republicans will denounce his comments, but ultimately, so many of their own supporters say things like this all the time. Hey, I come from a white, conservative family so I hear the things these people say to each other.

Leadership has impacted every milestone in American history. Looking forward at the opportunities ahead and examining the lessons learned from the past, it is apparent to all that now is the time for new leadership within the Republican National Committee.

I believe we are at a place where my experience at the local and national party level, as well as understanding of the technological opportunities for communicating our party's message, has prepared and energized my vision for the Republican Party. As the time draws near for selecting a new leader for the Party, I trust those who hold the responsibility for designating this role will carefully consider all the candidates, along with their strengths and ability to guide the Party through the challenges ahead.

Within this web site I have posted information about myself, my experience, and my vision to make the Party stronger and more successful in the years to come. I look forward to working hard to make the changes we need and appreciate the opportunity and consideration of the Party.

- Chip Saltsman, former candidate for RNC Chair

He had to withdraw his bid because, as it turns out, he's an unapologetic bigot and racist. Is that redundant?

Is Michael Steele ...

8 Things to Learn for 2/2/2009 #2

Is the incoming chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele a proud Republican? Well, during his Senate campaign in 2006, Steele printed yard signs indicating he was a Democrat in order to confuse the electorate into electing him. It did not work, of course. Sen. Cardin handed Mr. Steele a rather easy defeat. This makes Mr. Steele, of course, the perfect chairman for the RNC. He's a loser, much as they have been over the last two electoral cycles.

What have we learned here? Is Michael Steele a proud Republican? Yes, he is. I don't think his attempt to mislead the voters was indicative of his being ashamed of his party. Of course, he should be ashamed of the party, but that's another story.

These people are so damn funny. Here's former Ohio Secretary of State, and current candidate for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, Ken Blackwell on homosexuality ...

I've never had to make the choice because I've never had the urge to be other than a heterosexual but if in fact I had the urge to be something else I could have in fact suppressed that urge.

Wow, wow, wow. Wow. He's never really thought about it of course. Wow.

What's the Word?

There's a word on the tip of my tongue and I can't think of what it is. 

Wait. I've got it.

Cowards.

Do you think this is just so the white guys can call Steele and Blackwell the N word without the press reporting on it?

Hey! Look!
