First Meg Whitman, now Lou Dobbs.
Why, I’m beginning to entertain a slightly cynical thought, and I need someone to talk me off this ledge: I think it might be the case that the GOP stokes anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican fear/anger for pure political purposes, while its leaders and the business interests they represent want to keep the flow of cheap labor in the pipeline for easy exploitation.
I know, I know, crazy, right?
Bonus GOP Hate-Mongering: We can call this the Guillermo Horton ad, used by not one, but two GOP candidates. Looking on the bright side, at least they’re recycling, albeit in the present instance, that would be hate they’re re-using. But you gotta start somewhere, and this is the GOP after all.

I heard mexican people are lousy tippers and their houses smell like cabbage. Wait, that’s Samoans. Whatever.

The only thing that could make this story more awesome would be if Dobbs came down with leprosy.

Apparently they’re serious.

one day i’m going to have cognitive dissonance surgically implanted so i can be a gop voter
until then, i’ll have to vote green, 3rd party, and independent, oh whell
October 8, 2010 at 7:18 am
I think you’ve got that backwards. You’ll need to have the part of your brain that experiences cognitive dissonance removed.
October 9, 2010 at 6:50 pm
either way, don’t have it, don’t want it
cognitive dissonace, republicans, or (most of the current) democrats in elective office

Wouldn’t a lobotomy suffice?
October 16, 2010 at 8:15 am
would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

It’s always best to assume that when a GOP/conservative is exhorting the public about the evils of some issue, it’s because they’re personally deep in the muck.
Bill Bennett and gambling.
Dave “diaper boy” Vitter and family values.
Uncountable homophobic homo fundie GOPsters trolling for hawt ghey secs.
And now Whitman and Dobbs, right at home in the party of massive hypocrisy.

I wonder how many people know that illegal immigration has slowed to a trickle due to the economy and stronger border patrol, or that violence along the border is also down. Not many, i’ll bet.

CANADIANS ARE REALLY DUMB.

So now we know what the Editors has been doing lately?

You won’t be laughing about them illegals when you have a butcher knife up yer ass and yer kids are being raped.

He should’ve hired a singing dinosaur puppet to make his point. Would’ve been more believable.
October 18, 2010 at 3:11 am
That seems very reasonable.

So the furor over DADT will end and I can freely admit my transcopterism! I feel so happy it’s like the top of my head is about to spin off!

Good chopper drugs are hard to come by. Would you hip us to your connection? We’ll pay good $$!!!

OT but compelling. The campaign for Amendment 62 in Colorado, which would outlaw abortion and most common forms of birth control in Colorado, put out this propaganda video in recent days. (Subtle and totally factual, of course, as are all Tea Party messages.)

I’m thinking little tiny toothbrushes are gonna back in fashion soon.
October 15, 2010 at 8:00 pm
you gotta admit the little shaver at 1:50 is pretty awesome
October 19, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Well, it’s a compelling ad. Should help them get out the fetus vote, eh? UNiversal suffrage now! Let the unborn vote!
October 20, 2010 at 1:28 pm
There used to be a blog here. My mistake.
October 16, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Oh Editors, where art thou?
October 16, 2010 at 9:08 pm
I’m pretty sure they’re coloring and Justin Biebering Tom Brady’s hair so he looks like a total fucking asshole. Patriot’s you would have had to trade me as well if you expected me to hold my tongue in the face of that. Get a fucking crew cut and save the hair color for your little sister, Tom.

I have to say it: in Soviet Union (or Republican-dominated America), shit shovels you!

Not worth the space anymore. Link to this deleted today.
It was a great website. Not so much these days. Pity.

Because, carnagepro.com is. I swear the internet was built like a pen for semi-autistic retards to be kept from society. It’s working!

Immediacy issues. The Beatles reunion will happen yet.

Perhaps there should be a proper burial. Or cremation. Whatever.
Anyway, through the magic of the intertoobs, we can always reminisce.
