In 2012 Rick Perry was on drugs.
Lots of drugs.
Lots and lots of drugs.
So if there is one thing Rick Perry knows about is being on drugs. I doubt the man who owns “Niggerhead Ranch” would go on a racist shooting spree, however, I could be wrong. He did just defend the shooter by calling it an accident.
An accident is forgetting the 3rd department you would close down. An accident is making an anti-gay ad wearing the jacket from Brokeback Mountain. An accident is mistaking New Orleans for Florida.
A hate crime is not an accident.This was a deliberate, perhaps coordinated, terrorist attack. I am sick of people like Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, and Lindsey Graham downplaying this shooting. Why are they so afraid to call it terrorism?
They don’t want to alienate those who vote for them.
I don’t feel funny. This comic, I hope, will be funny given time. So right now, I’m just going to name and shame these chicken hawks who won’t stand up to terrorism, racism, and hate. Here is the truly awful part, this isn’t the fringe of the Republican party any more. Oh, how I wish it was. But this is the mainstream. This means that anyone who talks about Trayvon’s murderer was justified, anyone who says that blacks are more racist than whites, anyone who says blacks are inherently violent, like the Charleston shooter did in his alleged manifesto, sounds like a conservative Republican. These are mainstream ideas that he took and murdered 9 people with because of his anger and fear. Then he had easy access to a hand gun, the chosen weapon of cowards.
That’s right, I went there.
Any Republican who will actually stand up and say this is an act of terrorism should be the presidential candidate to lose to Bernie Sanders in 2016. I doubt that’s even going to happen. Which is too bad, because we can’t heal as a nation until we have a southern conservative leader stand up against this cancer we have in this nation. Until then, I will mock those like Rick Perry mercilessly.
