Introducing the 2009 Ford American-idiot-mobile!

[LeftinOH]

"...since we all know that 86 out of every 100 of us are Christians who believe in God, we at Kieffe & Sons Ford wonder why we don't just tell the other 14% to sit down and shut up. I guess maybe I just offended 14% of the people who are listening to this message. Well, if that is the case, then I say that's tough, this is America folks, it's called free speech. And none of us at Kieffe & Sons Ford are afraid to speak up. Kieffe & Sons Ford on Sierra Highway in Mojave and Rosamond: if we don't see you today, by the grace of God, we'll be here tomorrow."

The article and audio clip of the dealership's ad were originally posted in GD by fellow DUer pstokely.. but the image shown above is too precious to not to be shared.

1. They know a lot out there in the Mojave ....

middle of nowhere. Ever driven across it?

2. There's an easy fix for that car...

Just paint over "American" with "idiot" and you will have a VERY accurate message.

3. Kirk Cameron was on Good Morning America this morning

I couldn't stick around to watch it. I sure hope it is on the youtube and SOON!

4. I love people who identify themselves as idiots right up front.

Then you know who to look out for.

5. "tell the other 14% to sit down and shut up"

This is America, folks: it's called protection of the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Look it up.

I hate it when people are ignorant of this.

6. I thought that was particularly funny given the free speech comment

two sentences later. What an ass...

[DarkTirade]

10. Well, if he's ignorant enough to think that all christians agree with him on that subject...

he's obviously ignorant enough to not know about that either. :P

[unpossibles]

7. morons. nt

8. I wonder if that guy realises how stupid he looks.

Sadly, I'm thinking no.

9. Someone needs to be at true patriot

and hit that car while it's parked outside the strip club.

11. And another thing: "the fossils say no?"

Then give me the criteria for determining that dinosaur bones are 6000 years old or less. :eyes:

Oh, wait: the need for "criteria" implies science, doesn't it?! Never mind.

12. Sit down and shut up is free speech?

What the hell is that on his head?

Again, this is an example of the Right accusing us of what they are guilty of doing, to wit: believing in faery tales and trying to shove their agenda down everyone else's throat.

[LSK]

13. well my made up fictional study indicates that the number is only 77% Christian

So there!
