Wing Nuttery

Wing-nuts keep on yammering

"I don't think she quit." — John McCain on Sarah Palin
What is it about the words 'I' and 'Quit' are you having trouble understanding there McPain?

Gingrich proposes toppling the Iranian government by provoking a gas crisis through covert 'sabotage'
Still off your Meds there, Newt?!

Thomas Jefferson hated the Theory of Evolution he'd never heard of
This one is a hoot!
First ... he would have embraced the Theory of Evolution - as he loved science and detested religion.
Second ... he died decades before the concept of the theory was even a twinkle in Darwin's eye, much less a published work.

Wing nut stupidity shines through again!

Liars and Fools

Liars and Fools today are:

DeMint (retard-South Carolina) says US government is fascist
It was during the shrub error, not so any longer and the Fascists don't like it.

MSNBC's Buchanan thinks white men deserve so much more
To tell the truth, we do ... and so does any 'other demographic' that is willing to work to obtain it. No one deserves a 'free ride'.

MSNBC's Buchanan still ranting about Sotomayor's purported "lifelong resolve to discriminate against white males"
Paddy ol'boy you missed the boat on this, so stop crying on the dock.

Radio host Cunningham advocates "beating the hell outta" homeless people with "a big old cane, Singapore-style"
Only if he 'volunteers' to be the practice dummy - he already has the 'dummy' part down pat.

At top of radio show, CNN's Dobbs repeatedly says Obama needs to "produce a birth certificate"
No matter how many times you beat a dead horse, he won't get up and win the Derby for you.

Dimbulb repeats claim that Obama was "raised by communists," claims Dems "out to destroy the private sector"
And as usual the fat pig has it wrong - that was the shrub and cabal's desires ... and were more in line with 'communist' philosophy than the current (and legitimately elected) administration.

Disney's Savage declares that Obama, Pelosi, Axelrod, Emanuel, Waxman and "others" want "absolute power over your life"
Wrong. That was the core desire of the shrub and the cabal.

Obama demands Congress move quickly on healthcare reform

President Obama, calling the need for healthcare reform "urgent" and "indisputable," said today that it is not his own political fortune that is at stake, but rather the health of the nation's economy.

Chinese government executes 196 Uighurs

A Chinese court sentenced 196 Uighurs to death on July 18 accusing them in participation in the unrest.

The court decision was immediately executed and all accused persons were shot dead. It is not clear where the execution took place and did the government hand over the bodies to their relatives or not? According to the official statistics, 184 people were killed last month in the unrest in Xinjiang-Uighur autonomous province of China last month, but unofficial figures showed more than 1000 people dead and nearly 2000 arrested. The Chinese officials didn’t rule out that the arrested people would be executed.

Serb cousins guilty of burning more then 100 Muslims alive

A U.N. tribunal convicted two Serb cousins Monday of having burned alive more than 100 Muslims in what the presiding judge called a part of the "wretched history of man's inhumanity to man."

Milan Lukic and Sredoje Lukic were convicted of crimes dating back to the early 1990s, during the bitter ethnic conflict that ravaged the former Yugoslavia.

The crimes include two incidents in which Muslim men, women and children were forced into homes that were then set on fire -- and some who tried to escape were shot.
