Election '08: Libruls Just Don’t Get It

Kevin Bryant is a Senator. Kevin Bryant posted this in order to “stimulate an examination of Sen. Barack Obama’s foreign policy.” (In case he takes it down, the following is a large screenshot of his original post.)

Kevin Bryant failed miserably to stimulate anything that can be deemed an “examination”. Understandably, most who commented fell into either the “Libruls can’t take jokes! Obama’s a Muslim! Hail Jesus!” category or the “That’s a fairly bigoted comparison” category.

Defending himself, Kevin writes:

The posting, not surprisingly, only drew out the virulent and vulgar members of the liberal left whose immediate reaction to any criticism of their candidate includes charges of ignorance and bigotry…I have no regrets from this picture…I refuse to cower to the cultural police who evermore seek to censor our political discussion.

Let me just say this about that: Even from an anarchical perspective, this comparison is ignorant and bigoted. And, really, to compare someone who has yet to kill many people to someone who has already killed many people is to not facilitate any semblance of a dialogue. In fact, Kevin confused his red army constituents so badly that at least one thought he was trying to be funny:

it’s a joke. Also, anyone not scared to death that someone as unqualified as Obama may be the next President is stupid. He is not qualified. If he is elected, we are in big trouble. God save our country.

Anyway, it’s always amusing to me when dunderheads find humor in what amounts to nothing more than bullying. So, I had some fun with this one and will now try to interject some real chuckle-worthy humor into the discussion. Behold:
