Sheldon Whitehouse, Everybody

While bodies were being pulled from the rubble in Oklahoma City in the wake of Monday’s devastating tornado, U.S. Sen.

While bodies were being pulled from the rubble in Oklahoma City in the wake of Monday’s devastating tornado, U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) strode to the well of the U.S. Senate to offer his thoughts on the unfolding tragedy.

“When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover,” Whitehouse said. “And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests.”

Wait … wait?

Is this guy really using a national tragedy to launch into some far left enviro-Nazi screed?

Yup … but Whitehouse was just getting warmed up. Turns out the death and destruction in Oklahoma City was also the result of GOP “extremism.”

“You drag America with you to your fate,” he said. “So, I want this future: I want a Republican Party that has returned to its senses and is strong and a worthy adversary in a strong America that has done right by its people and the world. That’s what I want. I don’t want this future. I don’t want a Republican Party disgraced, that let its extremists run off the cliff, and an America suffering from grave economic and environmental and diplomatic damage because we failed, because we didn’t wake up and do our duty to our people, and because we didn’t lead the world. I do not want that future. But that’s where we’re headed. So I will keep reaching out and calling out, ever hopeful that you will wake up before it is too late.”

Wow …

Obviously this website is every bit as GOP-loathing as Whitehouse (albeit from a more rational location on the political spectrum), but seriously, is this guy off his meds? 

First of all “extremists” don’t run the GOP. The “Republican” establishment does. Just look at the party’s presidential nominee. Or its ranking leader in Washington, D.C. Or this guy …

But beyond that … what is this guy’s damage?

Hitting the nail on the head in response to Whitehouse’s rant was John Hayward of Human Events, who referred to it as “primitive.” And then lent corresponding expression to that (accurate) view.

“Sky gods angry! Sky gods send tornado to kill (global warming) deniers! You pay or sky gods kill again!” he wrote.

“You have the right to say it…but I’ll reserve my right to make your sorry, leftwing @$$ wish you didn’t…”

So, Puntang, what you are saying is that you would commit battery on a person who holds a viewpoint that is different than yours. That sounds about right for you, although you may want to remember that you actually have no right to make someone with an opposing viewpoint “sorry”. Unless you are talking about ignoring him, or boycotting his business, or exposing him as a fraud (like we do with you).

You say: “you would commit battery on a person”…Where did I say that???
And you’re an attorney???…it’s no wonder our courts are so screwed up, if this is the level of ethics practicing law….Obama would be proud of you…

PS: Answer the material question: Do you agree w/ Whitehouse???

What he says is true Fits. The two tea bagger senators from OK voted against support for Sandy, as did our Senate numbnuts.

So get over it!

Pat Robertson blamed the victims. Boortz and Beck will blame Katrina victims. The GOP will blame the poor. Westboro Baptist will blame fags.
Hey Jack, it was a fucking tornado. They fucking happen.

Republicans Question Whether Obama Could Handle Actual Scandal

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — President Obama’s handling of controversies about the I.R.S., the Justice Department, and Benghazi has raised “grave doubts” about his ability to cope if he ever became involved in an actual scandal, prominent Republicans said today.

“If this is how he handles this stuff, Lord have mercy on him if he ever has to deal with a real scandal,” said newly elected Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.). “Quite frankly, I don’t think he has what it takes.”

“The true test of a leader is this,” Rep. Sanford added. “When he gets in a fix, does he have the presence of mind to lie about his whereabouts? Sadly, I don’t think President Obama passes that test.”

Mr. Sanford’s concerns mirror those of another leading Republican lawmaker, Sen. David Vitter (R-Louisiana).

“If President Obama honestly thinks he’s dealing with scandals right now, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know what a scandal is,” Sen. Vitter said. “And that’s very worrisome.”

“When you get that three A.M. phone call, and it’s a reporter claiming that a prostitute said you like to dress up in a diaper, are you prepared for that call?” Sen. Vitter said. “In the case of President Obama, I am afraid that the answer is no.”

Alex Jones, a frequently cited source by the nut balls on this site, said yesterday that the tornadoes were the result of a “weather weapon.”

And fits claims the “rational” mantle. Oh boy. Yeah. Uh huh. The guy that hoped that the mayor of Chicago would be murdered. Or saying the president is an “a neo-fascist.” That’s some funny shit.

Why is the word “DEMOCRAT” not in the headline….???? (I think we all know why)

Until we have the Corrupt Media, and media wanna-bes, tell the WHOLE truth, we’ll keep getting Trash, Misery and Failure (see Obama)…for government…
