Chupacabra Report

News that gets my goat..

I was just watching the excellent Rachael Maddow filling in for Keith Olberman on Countdown and saw a clip of Mike Huckabee speaking at the NRA convention. Seems he was interrupted by the sound of a chair falling backstage, and adlibbed: “That was Senator Obama, he was getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”

This was the religious values candidate for president? At least this probably means that we won’t have to listen to his stupid pandering in the vice-presidential debates, although this probably opens the field for Willard Romney, the biggest tool out there.

It seems that when you scratch just below the surface with these people, you find Jim Crow. I often accuse these phony conservatives of trying to take us back to the nineteenth century, surely they can’t hark back to the days of Booth, Guiteau, and Czolgosz, when bullets superseded ballots.
