This week in Washington, DC, the Freedom and Faith cabal is holding their Road to Majority coven. Basically, this
is a chance for religio-wingut christians to get together and discuss
policy fantasies as well as electoral theft strategy for 2014. This also happens
to create an opportunity for repugicans from around the country to
pander to the religio-winguts in the hopes of gaining their support and
approval ahead of the 2014 midterms and perhaps the 2016 Presidential
election. Therefore, besides the usual suspects scheduled for an event
like this, we also saw the likes of Chris Christie
and Rand Paul (r-KY) placed on the guest speaker list.
As one can only imagine, President Obama has not
been well-received throughout the summit. Pretty much all of the
speakers that appeared Thursday and Friday devoted large portions of
their speeches criticizing the President and his policies. Rafael Cruz,
the father of Ted Cruz (r-TX), during a speech where he pitched Dominionism to the crowd,
exclaimed “Stop voting for the village idiot!” Ralph Reed, who heads
the Faith and Freedom cabal, wants the American people to burn the IRS offices to the ground. Gary Bauer used his time at the podium to claim that President Obama will bring down America because he is obsessed with gay issues, which shows a stunning lack of self-awareness as Bauer has been publicly railing against homosexuality since the Reagan years.
With a large group of religio-wingnut christians
gathered in a large hotel and whipped into an ideological frenzy over
their mutual hatred of all things Obama, perhaps we shouldn’t have been
surprised by the following action:
The Huffington Post sent Igor Bobic and Sam
Stein to cover the event. Bobic discovered the figurine placed in the
urinal. It was obviously done as a way to show total disrespect towards
the President while being willfully offensive. Even the figurine itself
appears to be a caricature of the President with at least a hint of
stereotypically racial overtones.
As you can see, this is basically just another
situation where repugicans get together, trash the President, say
mildly to extremely offensive things and prove to sane people that they
are really not serious about, well, pretty much anything. At least when
it comes to finding solutions to real world problems.
