And the Paultards win!
The American Taliban has once again assembled for its annual laughably named Values Voter Summit, featuring a
full roster of appearances by their favorite bigots, nut jobs and candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. (Wait, that's sort of redundant, isn't it?)
For the third year in a row, they just happened to coincidentally schedule the summit during the holiest day of the Jewish calendar because when they talk about values voters, they really only mean the Jesus-y kind of values: hating the poor, hating women, hating gays, hating brown people, hating science. Just like Jesus did. And no, Mormons don't count. Sorry, Mittens.
Let's just see what kind of crazy is on parade this year, shall we?
- What's most important to "values voters" in selecting a candidate to lose to President Obama next year? Hating abortion? Health care? Education? Maybe it's tax cuts for millionaires. Maybe it's rewriting the Constitution. Take the poll now!
- Dave Weigel reports on Michele Bachmann's address "to a standing-room only crowd."
- Glenn Beck also draws a
huge crowd smattering of people as he sneers at the "funemployed" and the "flash mobs" at Occupy Wall Street:
Hey, anyone else remember when Glenn and the teabaggers insisted they "surround" us? Remember when "mobs" were called patriots? Anyone else think the teabaggers are having a major case of protest envy right about now?
- Mitt Romney, the guy who claims to be both unemployed (or is that funemployed?) and part of the middle class:
- Gay-bashing is a really important value in a president:
- Just plain nuts:
