"PRETEND IT'S OBAMA"

Just now, on Alex Wagner's show.

Santorum was speaking at a shooting range in front of human "paper targets," and someone yelled out "PRETEND IT'S OBAMA."

Santorum later said he didn;t hear the remark but was disgusted by it.

Then again, as someone on Wagner's show just said, "What is he doing on a shooting range...and in a suit?"

and asked that anyone who felt that kind of psychopathic hatred towards a sitting President not support him, how many votes would he get? Take the psychopathic vote away and you barely have a Republican party. Take away the people who yelled "kill him" at McCain rallies in 2008, people who cheered Herman Cain's electrocuting fences at the border, who cheered letting the uninsured die, who cheered Rick Perry's long list of executions, and who booed a gay soldier in Iraq ... take away those psychopaths and who's left in today's Republican party?

...and his supporters.

I wonder if there's a video of the exchange, Amerigo Vespucci. It might reveal a change in the asshole's countenance when the shout was made.

He couldn't have heard that -- and it sounds more like a stupid aside than someone yelling it out at him. Regardless, it says a lot about his supporters. Doubly stupid -- stupid enough to think it, and then stupid enough to say it out loud.

The smirking turd had hearing protection on, so his statement will get the benefit of the doubt.

His politics and voting record betray him.

And after the national outrage over the murder of Trayvon Martin, too.

These people seriously need to get over their big, bad, white selves.
