Local GOP County Chair, Compares Obama Supporter To Someone 'Mentally Retarded'

I never said he spent millions to seal them, although I have heard that. I didn't say it because I have not verified it, and it has always been my understanding that it could only be gotten with your permission. Everything else I said to you I have verified. In 2009 the dems were pushing to reinstate the Fairness doctrine, which had to do with broadcasts, not the internet as you said, and it had nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with censorship. I believe you are wrong about the internet kill switch. This came up again in the last few months under the guise of national security. If you weren't so out there I would do more research and get back to you. But you come off as a person that would not see the truth if it bit them in the butt.

As I said research it your self. Pull your head out of the sand.

I'm very familiar with Cloward and Piven. Also, Sunstien, Holdren, Ayers, Doren, and Margaret Sangar. I'm sure you've heard of all of them. They're all laughing at how gullible the young people are. They've been spoon=fed this crap since kindergarten.

I sure hope something can change the wave of doom that our country is destined for.

regardless how much he spent, or didn't spend, you don't tell the world and your nation that you are going to be the most transparent administration ever, then sign everything behind closed doors, and lock all records that is what he said in his big speech, most TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVER!!!!!

The liberal biased media has hidden from the public Obama's true nature.

What liberal media? This country has gone so far right wing that nothing is liberal in the USA. Do you call them liberal because they don't spout out birther conspiracy theories like Fox does?
Here we go with the personal insults. That's what all liberals do when they don't have a cohesive argument. The only "right -wing" news outlet on TV is Fox- and with the exception of some of their opinion commentators they try to be neutral. Research statistics. The ratio of liberal to conservative journalist is 10-1. It is becoming quite obvious that you don't look up anything yourself, but parrot other peoples comments. If you think the media is right wing , you are really out there.

The MSM leaking the story about Obamas kill list showed you his true nature.

Europe is falling apart

I think you need to read the news. The European Union is falling apart due to being raped by bankers. Liek Iceland was, and the USA will be.
The feds control the banks

To support Obama is to support a man who wants us to follow a failed model.

Verses the Republicans/Romney that want to support a failed model? You know the cut taxes for the rich, it will trickle down model?
The Republicans are almost as bad.

Nothing Obama has done is socialist, nothing at all. I assume you do not know what socialism or communism even is. He has socialist policies. The takeover of GM, the takeover of the health insurance industry

Northern Europe has some of the highest standards of living, lowest poverty, universal healthcare, universal college and their countries are not falling apart.
They do have universal healthcare- universally bad for everyone when you can get in. They're standard of living does not compare to ours. They don't have universal college, that's why students were rioting in the streets a few months back. If you think they are not falling apart- then I guess you don't read any news. Our country is shking in it's boots at the thought that we will get dragged down with them.

Unemployment is low and the economy strong. Public-private partnership is at the core of "the Swedish model", which was developed by the Social Democrats, who governed for most of the last 70 years until 2006. Don't know what the current staus of Sweden is, but I do personally know a man named Benkt who broke a leg in his 20s. It wasn't fixed properly. He walked with a cane, and was in constant pain. Since it was not a life threatening injury, he had to wait 30 years to get a second surgery to fix it. I have a friend from Sweden who is there now. I'll ask him how it's doing. He became an American citizen 35 years ago because our system is preferable

This mixed economy traditionally featured centralised wage negotiations and a heavily tax-subsidised social security network. The Swedes still enjoy an advanced welfare system, and their standard of living and life expectancy are almost second to none.

news.bbc.co.uk...

Norway, Australia and Iceland have the best standards of living in the world and are among the places with the highest levels of human development,

Do you want to be punished for voicing your opinion? Even worse, having your opinions shut out of the public airwaves and forums?

No one is doing that, we have the 1rst amendment- FOOL

Do you want the government to be able to control the internet?

Both parties are shills for internet control- True

Do you want the government telling you what you can eat?

Obama is doing this how?- Just wait.

Do you want poor people stuck in substandard public shcools? Which results in them not being able to get ahead.

What does Obama have to do with this? Public schools are a good thing, it is why our literacy rate is 99%

edit on 9-8-2012 by RealSpoke because: (no reason given)

with a 50% high school drop out rate and college students taking remedial reading and math, I find this hard to believe. Look up the stats online on where we stand globally in education. Doesn't back this up.
If the government would allow school vouchers, these poor kids would at least stand a chance at an education. People line up for charter schools. Charter school students get a much better education. If you think our education system is good, you are uneducated.

Sanger's the biggest kicker. When you tell people that her motivation was to improve the human race by aborting ethnic babies they refuse to believe it. To this day non-white abortions significantly outpace white abortions. They don't see how their liberal policies are killing them. In this case quite literally.

Milking what system? The product that parents PURCHASE for their children?

Not seeing the part where "you" belongs in the topic care to point it out?

You started talking about yourself and how you had your own health insurance as soon as you turned 18

reply to post by LauraM


So you think only liberals have abortions?

And clearly the mother chose to have that abortion, meaning she didn't want the baby and supports the ability to choose. Why would they hate on a policy that they directly believe in?

Post-Gazette reporter Tim McNulty observed that the crowd "hollered and clapped" in response to the insensitive joke.

One county chair guy saying something stupid that reflects poorly on his party is fairly common but, c'mon... the crowd? Reminds me of all the cheering for people dying during the early GOP debates.

Are you kidding me? All the # said about women on the right and Republicans in general with regularity in the MSM, Comedy Central, HBO and you are seriously going to wring your hands about being "insensitive"?


ROFL!


I mean really, did you miss all the retard jokes about Palin and her kids? The late night shows were full of them.

The feds control the banks

And? Europe is failing because of banking scams, not their economic model.

The takeover of GM, the takeover of the health insurance industry

Obama didn't take over the health insurance industry. All the act does is mandate people to purchase PRIVATE insurance. There is nothing socialist about private healthcare owned by shaerholders for profit.

They do have universal healthcare- universally bad for everyone when you can get in

The USA has the worst and most expensive quality of healthcare

U.S. scores dead last again in healthcare study

(Reuters) - Americans spend twice as much as residents of other developed countries on healthcare, but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system, according to a report released on Wednesday.

They're standard of living does not compare to ours.

Yeah, it's better

They don't have universal college, that's why students were rioting in the streets a few months back.

Uhh that was the UK... A lot of European countries still have free or extremely cheap tuition.

At all public institutions in Norway, higher education is free for international students as well as for Norwegian nationals.

Our country is shking in it's boots at the thought that we will get dragged down with them.

Or we could write off the debt that we do not owe, created by bad bets and bailouts to profit

If the government would allow school vouchers

Vouchers are not going to do anything. The USA needs to revamp the way they teach students... less testing, more hands on. Less memorizing, more experimenting. We need more vocational oriented schools to help prepare for the real world and workforce.

Our public graduation rate is higher than it has ever been and improving...

About 72 percent of public school students from the class of 2008 graduated on time, a 6 percentage-point increase from the 1997 rate, and a 3 percentage-point increase from the 2007 rate. The reported graduation rate is the highest it's been since the mid 1980s.

A list of retard jokes the left applauded and laughed at.

Bill Maher: Was Scott Walker the Mentally Retarded Banjo Boy in 'Deliverance'?

Margaret Cho Says No 'Retard Baby' For Her

Stephen Colbert Says 'Sarah Palin Is A F**king Retard'

HuffPoster: 'Palin Will Run In '12 On More Retardation Platform'

newsbusters.org...

Bill Maher: Oh, speaking of dumb (bleep) after the debate where this came up, she had a discussion with a woman who came to her after the debate and said that her daughter had taken the vaccine and become from the vaccine mentally retarded.

Now watch as they move the goal post...

There is lots more. Just google it.

Just saw this from today.

David Shuster: Romney Must Have Autism, and Must Kill His Wife's Horse With a Hammer?

Republicans, in the OP of this thread you were asked if you would have denounced someone for making a generalization(insult) of a group of people with different political view points. The vast majority did not. In fact, you tried to turn it around on Outkast.

There is no interesting debate here, just my disappointment. I know the Republican party can be more than that, i have seen it. Not very much in this thread though.

reply to post by OutKast Searcher




It isn't that this isn't a "big deal", but more that this has no bearing on me in the context you are wanting it applied. Your thread title is very clear that this is a matter of "GOP vs DNC". Otherwise, what you should have done was simply left out the "GOP" part. Political pandering on ATS at its finest.

But yes, you are right....it is abhorrent to consider someone of a lesser stature for being mentally ill or otherwise intellectually affected. I have called out others on ATS for this. It seems that as adolescents (when we were more prone to being callous) we became accustomed to "retarded" being an ok term to use, because it wasn't actually swearing and we could usually get away with it.

But it is a bad habit, and one that needs intellectual light shed on it so as to expose a potential prejudice in our nature.

From an OP and group that chose to use the term "tea##SNIP##" to demean their opposition you expect sympathy? Please.

I've received this retard joke in an e-mail before. He didn't make it up, he just read it.

I'm not Republican but I can tell you the answer is no, because they've been the subject of these jokes for their entire lives. This is a "do as I say not as I do thread". If you can't take the heat...

...and a good laugh was had by all but didn't you know only liberals can be insensitive and evil in their comments of their opposition?

Like so many have mentioned previously, the liberal usage of calling Tea Party members Tea Baggers repeatedly (and by supposed news anchors) and the referring to of a particular conservative female politician as a slut or cun# dwarfs one mentally challenged joke.

But feel free to continue to feign outrage.

Lets not forget Jack Steuf of the leftist Wonkette.

In reference to Sarah Palin's son:

What's he dreaming about? Nothing. He's retarded,

The article was titled "Greatest Living American: A Children's Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday". I suppose this wasn't as bad since it referred to Sarah Palin's son and not some imaginary person?

Not a funny joke!

Neither was this one
