http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/7-idiotic-and-dangerous-statements-right-wing-nut-jobs-just-last-week1. GOP Congressman: Multiculturalism is bad. There is an American race.
At a townhall meeting in El Dorado Hills, California, Rep. Tom McClintock enlightened attendees about his views on immigration reform. He suggested that immigrants need to shed their own culture and become something he termed the "American race then added that if they cant do that they should just go home. Theres only one race here: its the American race, he said.

2. Donny Deutsch: The U.S. cant have a woman president until Al Qaeda does.
Donny Deutsch may have been a genius brander/advertising guy, but as a political analyst, umm...not so much. In an appearance on "Morning Joe" this week, he laid out his theory of why a woman (read: Hillary Clinton) should not be president. In a nutshell, it seems to be because shed have to deal with foreign leaders who are men. And that wouldnt be fair.

3. Minnesota Rep. offers conceal carry permits and target practice to donors.
Heres a novel idea for a fundraising event: Promise more gun privileges to every donor. This Saturday, gun-loving Minn. Republican lawmaker Cindy Pugh offered free concealed carry gun-training classes to people who donate a minimum of $125 to her campaign. For those potential donors who already have concealed carry permits, the deal was sweetened by having their permit automatically renewed, for a mere $100 donation.

4. Rush Limbaugh bullies listeners into choosing between God and science.
One mark of a borderline personality, were told, is seeing the word in black-and-white terms either/or no nuance allowed. An armchair diagnosis of Rush Limbaugh suggests that syndrome may apply to him. Another diagnosis: intellectual (using the word loosely) bullying.

(28,498 posts)4. I'm really getting sick and tired of this...
I used to have respect for differing opinions. I used to acknowledge that we will have from time to time conflicting views.
But this is just plain stupid talk and I'm getting sick and tired of it. F*ck 'em and the elephant they rode in on!
