The We Didn’t Know Defense
Georgia Republican state representative Jason Spencer (you’re already cringing, aren’t you?) might be a name you remember from the past.
Spencer is the tinker toy brained dude who issued threats of violence against anybody who threatened to remove Confederate monuments on the grounds of the state capitol.
“People in South Georgia are people of action, not drama.”
He then writes, “They will go missing in the Okefenokee. Too many necks, they are red around here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about ’em.”
He later apologized for it. But, not for being dumb.
Last year he introduced legislation aimed at Muslim women, saying they could not cover their faces in public.
Now here is the part where I tell you that even if we impeach Donald Trump, we are still gonna share the same country with guys like Spencer. That makes my head hurt.
But, there is a small measure of justice.
Spencer got Boratted. Sasha Boren Cohen visited Spencer in Georgia.
Cohen convinced Spencer to scream the “N” word over and over, asked him to pretend to be a Chinese tourist and got him to bare his buttocks and chase him while screaming “I’ll touch you. I’ll make you a homosexual. Drop that gun! U.S.A! U.S.A!”
You can see the video here. And while everybody in Georgia is acting shocked, shocked I tell you, that Spencer would behave this way because they never expected something like this from a known homophobic racist guy in Georgia. Never expected it and they are stunned.
Hellfire, Georgia full damn well knew what this guy was. All Borat did was put it on teevee.
You’re gonna love this part.
Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, who faces off with Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle in a run-off election on Tuesday, also issued this statement on Spencer’s appearance:
“Rep. Spencer’s words and behavior are hurtful, insensitive, and completely unacceptable. At the very least, he should issue a public apology for this shameful incident.”
Kemp also removed Spencer from his endorsement list.
See how outraged he is? He removed a known racist homophobe from his endorsement list.
Oh Lord help us.
Thanks to Norma for the heads up.
… connecting the dots for the snacilbupeR in denial as to how Putin and his FSB were able to successfully influence them to vote for Dotard45, Borat provides a training film on how to turn an unwitting asset.
1Thankfully I don’t have TV so I was spared witnessing his mating dance. And no, I’ll take your word for it and not watch YouTube. I really like how he blames it in his PTSD that was not based on anything traumatic, only his disorder.
2You don’t need a TV, here is the youtube clip. The final part is hilarious.

If Baron Cohen isn’t on the DNC payroll, he should be.
4Another stunt got Rethugs to advocate arming 3 year olds with guns. Go Sasha.
It’s always shocking how far these guys have to go before voters say, “well, now, THAT really was too much.”
And for some reason those voters find it more believable if it’s:
5As Seen On TV!
I always considered Sacha Baron Cohen immensely unfunny and a borderline boor, and his entrapment journalism is fun of the lowest order. Clearly a page borrowed from criminal James O’Keefe and his equally criminal partner Hannah Giles’ book. Also clearly it works effectively against the Conservative Wrong as well against the socially Left.
And, the Wrongs can go f*** themselves if they find offense.
6The whole episode was marvelous. Be sure and see the part about building a mosque in Kingman, AZ. Priceless.
7Micr, what Sasha Cohen does is entertainment, and he does it very well. What James O’aaKeefe does is political sabotage through extensive editing and purposely removing words to substantially change what was actually said in an effort to effect policy and is openly paid by right wing groups to do so.
Your analogy is wrong.
8That was one helluva competency test! And he flunked! Away with him to someplace padded and very, very quiet!

Mr Cohen’s shtick is lost on me. As I said I find Mr Cohen unfunny and boorish.
I wasn’t shooting for an analogy. Although the effect of Mr Cohen’s ambush of Rep Spencer is roughly the same as the effect of Mr O’Keefe’s seemingly far more elaborate ambush of ACORN.
10Give it 30 days to drop from the collective memory and Trump will appoint Spencer to a cabinet position. He’s Donnie’
11s kind of guy.
I just love autofill… Did anyone else have flashbacks of Ducky Boy on this. Speaking of which, Blake sure has been trying to hide from the fact that everything he touches becomes tainted

12This guy should be forcibly removed from the state legislature immediately.
Not because of his racism or homophobia, deplorable as they are.
But because his simply too damned dumb to be walking around loose. For his safety, and that of the public, he should never be allowed outside unless he has some kind of trained professional accompanying him. And it goes without saying, never be allowed access to any form of mass communication device.
MMAAAA-RROOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!!!!
13He’s Gone…..like a rat in the sewer, he’s gone….Grateful Dead rules……and I am a 75 yr old woman.
