2016 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE REFERS TO S.C. CHURCH SHOOTING AS “ACCIDENT”
|| By FITSNEWS || Former Texas governor and 2016 “Republican” presidential candidate Rick Perry – no stranger to “oops” moments – offered up a doozy on Friday in response to this week’s deadly church shooting in downtown Charleston, S.C.
Referring to U.S. president Barack Obama‘s attempt to turn this deplorable “Holy City Massacre” into another gun-snatching campaign, Perry inexplicably referring to the brutal, premeditated killing of nine black parishioners at the Mother Emanuel AME Church as an “accident.”
“This is the M.O. of this administration anytime there is a accident like this,” Perry told Newsmax TV, referring to Obama’s comments.
Wait … what? Accident?
Perry then proceeded to launch into a discussion about how the real issue associated with the killings was the abuse of prescription drugs.
“It seems to me, again without having all the details about this, that these individuals have been medicated and there may be a real issue in this country from the standpoint of these drugs and how they’re used,” Perry said.
Perry’s aides attempted to clarify his comment after the fact – saying he clearly meant to say “incident” – but the damage was done.
Obviously we agreed with Perry’s criticism of Obama’s nakedly political anti-Second Amendment push … and we’re willing to accept that this was a slip of the tongue on his part. And there is evidence the gunman in the attack – 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof – abused drugs. In fact this website was one of the first in the country to report on that side of the story.
But still … Roof deliberately planned his attack with the apparent intention of setting off a “race war.” Hard to pin that one on the drugs.
More to the point, the “accident” gaffe is exactly the sort of boneheaded mistake Perry didn’t need in his effort to be taken seriously as a credible contender this go-round.
“The one presidential candidate who cannot make a mistake did just that Friday,” Patrik Svitek of the Texas Tribune noted.
Yup … a big one.

Perry is not a serious contender for any political office outside Texas and maybe Kansas, where the bat-shit crazies grow on trees.
Exactly my thought. But for comic relief, you just can’t beat him.
Prick Perry. Even the glasses doesn’t make him very intelligent.
Back in the day, we referred to them as “birth control glasses”.
Ooops – You left out South Carolina.

No other state except South Carolina has a moniker like “Too small to be a nation, too big to be an insane asylum”

Stick a fork in him.
You are all just jealous of soon to be President Perry. I called it first, well, and second.
Perry needs to spend a stressfree weekend at Nigger head Hunting Club to clear his mind…
He can invite Dick Cheney and make it complete.
Interestingly, the siblings that conceived Perry wanted to name him that – Accident.
I just agreePER HOUR 88$@mk1

Rick Perry is an Ongoing accident. So there’s that. But the good news is outside of Texas, this Texas size mistake is always in a “No fly” zone. Not sure whose money he’s blowing through, but he’s amusing to watch.
If I need to have a license to purchase a house cat, people should be licensed to own a gun.
If it helps…TBG is also opposed to housecat ownership licensing.
It’s the first step in *their* ultimate plan to take away all our pussy!!!
“I would like to buy a fish license, please.”
“It’s people like you that causes unrest.”
It’s a license now and confiscation later. If anyone attempts to take away my cat, it will be from my cold dead hands.
This from a racist asshole with a ranch named “Niggerhead”.
…. and from a state named Tax Us.
I hear he’s changing it to Weavehead.
Perry is a ball of ego and ambition searching for an office. He is like a wind up doll.
Rick, go home to Texas. Your friends and family are there. Consider a real job, not politics. Join the rest of us in real life.
God knows if anyone would know about the dangers of being a pill head, it’s Rick Perry.
Or benefits. Perry’s problem is he wants both, drugs and the Presidency.
Those klutzy al Qaeda guys just accidentally ran into three buildings and the ground. A grand publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.
One of many great pics of Rick/not for the easily offended.The quote is from one of Rick’s homo tricks

Yup, that guy can’t help but step on his own protuberance … You?
In the modern GOP, he’s presidential material.
Mmmmm … No one is perfect except “my guy”.
Why haven’t his advisors told him to get contacts? He’s one of those people who looks like a total dipshit in glasses.
Perry was the one Republican Contender for the nomination who couldn’t afford to do or say anything stupid. Especially since last he ran for President he couldn’t name three Government Agencies. He also tried to blame the Holy City Massacre on drugs.
Was he ever a “corpse man” ?
He got his info from Fox Notnews……..oops, forgot, Fox said it was an assault on Christianity and had nothing to do with shooter being racist.
Another filthy Repbulican dumbfuck.
Rick Perry is the Peter Principle personified.
