If It Wasn’t For Bad Taste, They Wouldn’t Have Any Taste At All
Okay, so it’s sad when you have to tell your fellow Republicans what is in good taste. According to Ann Romney, they are the party of classy people.
Virginia Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.
The altered photos have been on the Mecklenburg County Republican Committee’s page for months but drew attention outside the rural southwestern enclave after a luncheon event this week with Republican Senate candidate George Allen.
But, they are very nice people, you know. Real nice.
By the way, this is also the group who thought that the Onion story about Barack Obama’s illegitimate son was true. Probably because the picture looks so real to them.
Every morning when my feet hit the floor I say, “Thank you God for another day that I’m not a Republican, and especially one of those damfools at the Mecklenburg County Republican Party.”
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Ann Romney was only a minus “cl” off.
1Bless their hearts, they’re reaching their goal of being the tackiest county in Virginia.
2I took one look at that picture and could tell the kid had been Photoshopped in, even before I analyzed it. But for those who want details. The outline of his head is very distinct against the background (compare to the President’s). The light on his face is coming in from a different angle that that of the President and looks like it is indoor incandescent light rather than the warm outdoor light on the President’s face.
I didn’t even have to try hard, guys. Bring out your skepticism and think for yourselves! [I know I’m preaching to the choir, here.]
3A witch doctor, a caveman, and a thug walk into a bar. The bartender takes one look at them and says, “is this a joke?” “Nope,” says the witch doctor, “but that place we just came from sure was.”
4Just a reminder JJ that if you don’t attend to that health care directive you could wake up a Republican.
5Oh, and yeah, and also (from last week), the President is gay. The idiocy never stops.
6Let’s not forget who these cretins were hosting – George Allen who self destructed over the macaca reference six years ago. He also voted against MLK day, has referred to the NAACP as an extremist group, and has displayed the stars and bars in tv ads in his campaign for governor. These people are klassy with a triple K.
7I thought I was the only one who thanked God that I am not a republican!! I can spot one coming around the corner, actually. Especially during an election year! 😉
8AND, the Prez is up 8 points in Virginia, AND Tim Kaine is up for the Senate as well. Seems like the local Rethugs have voluntary collective amnesia about George Allen. But not the rest of the state.
