Explain this, you hypocritical Republican shitweasels:

[11 Bravo]

For decades you have been bleating that gun manufacturers and sellers should be held totally blameless when their product is used to shoot people, exactly as it was designed to do. Instead, only the individual who uses the product is to be prosecuted.

But suddenly you have decided that it's the manufacturers and distributors of abortion pills who are to be held criminally liable, while the people who use the product as it was designed are not to be charged, because that might cost you even more votes than your already hugely unpopular attack on reproductive self-determination.

It's almost as if your every policy has fuck-all to do with the sanctity of life, and everything to do with exercising control over women's bodies in a completely transactional attempt to garner votes from an increasingly unhinged and wildly politicized group of right-wing "Christians".

Tell me I'm wrong, assholes.

1. You're not wrong, brother

Not at all.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. "I like your Christ but I don't like your christians" -- Gandhi . . . nt

[erronis]

11. I never tire of hearing that one. Gandhi knew the total rot that is in christianity.

Pardon me if I offend some good people. It's just the religion that stinks.

[SomedayKindaLove]

16. Another good one

Reporter: What do you think of Western Civilization?
Ghandi: I think it would be a good idea.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

34. Why would he like the guy behind it?

Did he think torture for thought crimes was a positive thing?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. I think Christ did not apply torture for thought crimes and I think Gandhi thought so too. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

3. Christofascists want to save you from their demons, even if it kills you.

[11 Bravo]

4. They are what they are. I blame the fuckwads who know better ...

but disingenuously cater to them.
Fuck the GOP.

[Sky Jewels]

10. For most of them, especially the men, it's all about controlling and terrorizing women.

They don't give two shits about fetuses and they certainly don't care about babies.

[lastlib]

15. Control. They want us all down on our knees....

...in the church of THEIR choice.

[NowISeetheLight]

5. Reality Math

1+1=2
2×3=6
Republican+Religion=Hypocrites

[BOSSHOG]

6. The easily manipulated conservative brain

Has developed a blueprint for a master thesis in reverse logic driven by external forces.

[FakeNoose]

29. This - it's the easy manipulation of the "religious right"

How did they become Repukes, when 50 (or so) years ago they were a reliable block of Democratic voters? That's the long sad story of American politics, combined with the weasel-nature of the Repuke Party.

[republianmushroom]

7. You are correct and the repukes are those who are wrong.

Good post. You nailed it.

[modrepub]

8. I Won't Tell You You're Wrong

But I'm not an a--hole; well, not most of the time.

[soldierant]

9. It also never seemed to bother them when

people who used tobacco products as directed experienced the consequences.

[DET]

12. Excellent Analogy

Republicans are nothing if not shameless hypocrites.

[ShazzieB]

13. You're not wrong at all.

If the Repugs are seriously pushing for criminalization of abortion pill manufacturers and think that won't cost them votes, they've definitely lost their tiny minds. What part of "Most Americans want abortion to be legal" do those peabrains not understand? Oh, that's right: they understand it. They just don't care, and they want to shove their unfair, cruel, and life-threatening abortion bans down the throats of all Americans, especially those of us who are opposed to such bans.

[LymphocyteLover]

14. It's ok if you're a Republican-- rules, morality, decency, hypocrisy mean nothing to them

[usaf-vet]

17. So does that mean the two year old who shot and killed his mother AND the baby she was carrying....

..... was responsible.

How many years in prison? How about 19 years until the two-year-old turns 21?

[calimary]

18. Well I certainly won't tell you you're wrong!

I will tell you that you sure do speak for me on this!!!

[Emile]

19. The magic R is powerful enough to brainwash republican women

to vote for a pussy grabbing rapist and make them think he was a great president. Seriously, these people are idiots.

[LoisB]

20. AMEN!

[iluvtennis]

21. Excellent point @Bravo. n/t

[StClone]

22. Ha, ha, you stumbled into Situational Realtivism

Their big-monied backers want the Rs to jump at any opportunity to create conflict by establishing an ongoing war on just about everything. Of course, if you have a war on everything obviously some of your attacks will contradict what you said or did priorly. No problem as there are two premises to Situational Relativism. First is human nature, in general, is to forget quickly; Secondly, attack as the situation arises and ignore former attack contradictions as the current attack must be related quickly to this moment's assault to achieve desired outrage.

[mwb970]

23. I am VERY tired of "Christians".

The right-wing religious zealots seem cruel and dumb to me.

[whathehell]

32. I'm glad you put quote marks

around the word "Christians" as the vast majority of Christians are NOT "Christofascists". Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians comprise only one third of American Christians, and an even smaller faction of the 2.2 Billion Christians worldwide.


.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

35. Why put the quotations around it?

They are christians. Doesn't matter what their numbers are.

They belong to the religion, and putting it in quotes is trying to imply that they're something other than christian.

That's a vicious and bigoted lie trying to say that they can't be "real" christians, oh no, they have to be not-christians, because only not-christians are immoral. And that is a bloody filthy lie that you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting so that you can distance yourself from members of the religion you find distasteful.

They're *your* awful people, and we not-christians had bugger all to do with creating them. That's all on your religion. Nothing else. Stop blaming us for your religion's failures and clean up your own dirty laundry. We're sick of being blamed for things we had no part in.

[whathehell]

39. That's like calling all Muslims "terrorists" because

some are, and you can bet your sweet bippy that if you or anyone TRIED that here, your post would be gone faster than you could say 'Islamophobia'.

One can't direct one's hate at only one religion here, without projecting lots of "filthy" ignorance and hypocrisy.






.

[mwb970]

36. Yes, I was thinking of the MAGA cult.

They call themselves "Christians", yet they speak and act in ways that defy all of Christ's teachings. They are also the loudest branch of the faith, so they get a lot of press.

[whathehell]

43. Thank you.

I'm glad some here can differentiate.

[DFW]

24. Be prepared--they WILL tell you that you're wrong

Just don't be in any hurry waiting for them to explain how or why. Godot will show up first.

[malaise]

25. That's it right right there

Rec

[Duncanpup]

26. Excellent

[Orrex]

27. They would claim, as some in the past have claimed here, in fact...

that the gun manufacturers don't intend for the guns to be used to kill people; the guns might be used for hunting or for target shooting or for sport or for non-lethal self-defense, or as paperweights or suppositories or whatever else.

Abortion pills, they will claim, are specifically intended To Kill An Innocent Life™ and therefore "different" from their precious gunz gunz gunz, which are only created for goodness and patriotism and virtue.


It's bullshit, of course, but Republicans are masters of the double standard and will have their soundbytes ready and waiting.

[Martin68]

28. Hypocritical opportunists, greedy power-hungry traitors, lying swindlers one and all.

[kimbutgar]

30. I've been watching that shiney happy people documentary

Those fake xtians are really f’ed up people. And stupid also!

[jmowreader]

31. I'm having a bit of a time understanding your post

In at least three states - Missouri, Alabama and Louisiana - the Republicans are working on laws that will punish women who get abortions with murder. They're all like "oh no, we won't REALLY punish women who get abortions, we just want to stop doctors from doing them." Oh really? Then explain why you're writing laws that allow women to be prosecuted for murder.

The only difference between what the Republicans are trying to do and Margaret Atwood's book is that, so far as I know, they are not trying to set up a system where a woman has to sit on the bed with another woman's head in her lap so the other woman can be comforted during her monthly rape.

[pandr32]

33. I can't fault that!

You nailed it.

[spanone]

41. 👍🏼...K&R... 👍🏼

[elocs]

42. I wonder how many Republican shitweasels read DU?

When you're preaching to the choir it's easy to get amens.
