Keep It Classy, Republicans.
Republicans are not doing well in social media. It’s Facebook now.
South Dakota State House member and majority whip Lynne DiSanto, posted a little drawing on Facebook.
Oh, yeah. Vehicular murder is just so damn funny.
But, settle down, because she can easily explain that you totally misunderstood her little joke.
“I am sorry if people took offense to it and perceived my message in any way insinuating support or condoning people being hit by cars,” DiSanto said. “I perceived it differently. I perceived it as encouraging people to stay out of the street.”
No, you did not, Miss Priss.
Later she blamed “the highly charged political environment that we’re in.” Holy crap. woman, who do you think cause that? What the hell is wrong with you? Does it have a name? Is there a cure?
In England the roads are made where horses went so they have the right away, but the horse tracks are from foot paths so pedestrians have the right of way, as do farm animals, and bicyclist. Hit someone with a car and you are at fault and pay! In ‘merica we have a love affair with the car, so everyone watch out!!!! You will be messed Up!
1Another brain dead and clueless republican. What is wrong with these people? It is like they have absolutely no empathy or understanding of others. So selfish, so sad.
2As my eldest son was killed, walking in a crosswalk, by a teen on his phone…..I find this attempt at whatever, appalling. My son left a wife, two boys ages 10 and 6, who are still in counseling after almost 6 years…to mention nothing about all his relatives and brother and parents…..she is a sick woman.
3One thing duct tape can’t fix is stupid. But it can muffle the sound.
4South Dakota’s beautiful, but it has only a few smart people. I think I know most of them personally. I think Lynne diSanto should be dumped in The Badlands without food or water. With votes, of course.
5Fran Seyer: You have my sorrow. What a senseless tragedy and loss for you and your family. But you see, since your experience is not hers, Miss Lynne thought it to be “funny”. Common damn sense, good taste and empathy are obviously not her strong suit.
The no-apology “apology” said it all.
6Dang, Miss PrissieLynne! Haven’t you heard of Charlottesville and the death of Heather Heyer at the hands of a neoNazi lunatic and his damn car? Do not – I say – do not tell me that you do not have TV, newspapers and even some broadband out there. Down on your knees, girl, and pray you can understand what you did and ask for forgiveness!
7Hasn’t the image in her post been the method of several terrorist attacks recently? It looks like the pedestrian stick figures in her post are trying to run away from the attacking vehicle, which is clearly not on any road that I can discern in her picture. Does she support terrorist activities?
8I think, after a good look at her horrid drawing, that Lynne is advocating vehicular homicide. Hopefully she will immediately removed from any and all political offices.
9Zyxomma? The Badlands? Really? They’re beautiful in spite of the name. How about sending her to Barbuda and making her pick up the rubble and rebuild? Maybe she can find the humor in that. Or Mexico City. They could use a hand right now.
God, how I hate these people!
10I can only second maggie, Rick, and Tilphousia, and add my sympathy for Fran Seyer and family. Some people are sick b*****ds with no empathy whatsoever.
11Proof yet again that the 2016 election was not a choice between greater or lesser evils, but between blindness and sight.
I hate these people, too, JAK. Way more than is good for me, probably.
12Oh goodie. The ol’ “I’m sorry if you took offense” non-apology. Nice try, Ms Lynne, you fake, phony waste of space.
13Well, at least her real estate company dropped her. They’re a lot smarter than the SD legislature.
I just noticed that the figure being hit by the car has a bow that looks a lot like a Pussyhat.
Sick.
14Fran Seyer: That’s heartbreaking. I’m sorry I don’t know something to say that would make things better. But I GUARANDAMNTEE you that the folks in this joint empathize with you more than you can possibly imagine.
15That’s the state I grew up in . . . and very happily left 10 years ago. There is a chance, quite slim, that she’ll be tossed out of her leadership position in the statehouse. SD is terribly corrupt, always at or near the lead of most opaque government and other such negative standings. However, the majority leader has uttered some mutterings about her improper behavior. Every daily paper has excoriated DiSanto. Still, I’m not holding my breath.
16Yes, it has a name. It’s called “conservatism.”
Yes, it has a cure. The cure is rigorous education in critical thinking, reason and logic and moral philosophy.
And now you know why none of those are taught with rigor in educational systems controlled by conservatives.
