Alec Baldwin couldn't keep from making homophobic comments. See ya buddy.
Van Jones signed a petition supporting the idea that 9/11 was an "inside job" by Bush Cheney. President Obama quickly swept that cancer out of his White House.
Martin Brashir made disgusting and vulgar comments about Sarah Palin. Buh-bye.
These are three examples of why as progressives and liberals we are indeed better than conservatives and republicans.
Because we take out our trash.
The GOP and conservatives not only refuse to distance themselves from hateful, racist, sexist and anti-LBGT bigots, but they embrace them. Just over the span of about ten days, the GOP had at least six (maybe more) completely batshit crazy incidents.
I talk about those incidents in my video, and list them at the bottom of this page. Please feel free to add in the comments all of the crazy stuff I failed to mention.
So here's my six:
1) Rep. Michael Grimm of New York threatens to throw reporter off balconey. Yeah, the GOP sure respects the Constitutional right of a free press;
2) Rep. Randy Weber of Texas called President Obama "Kommandant" in tweet at State of the Union;
3) Erick Erickson of Red State called Wendy David, "Abortion Barbie." At least Fox News' Greta Van Sustren had the human decency to stand up to Erickson;
4) Ted Nugent called the President of the United States a "subhuman mongrel," and a "chimpanzee."
5) GOP Rep. Vance McAllister of Louisiana invited a member of the Duck Dynasty Klan to the State of the Union, just shortly after the patriarch of the Klan made his now famous racist and homophobic comments;
6) And finally we had Gov. Mike Huckabee's ridiculous comments about women and their libidos.
Boy, I just can't wait for the next two weeks!
