or here, if they've pulled it off their web site...

Kind of makes it clear what they think.

[freshwest]

1. Oh, sure, that makes up for it all!

[catbyte]

8. Why don't they just put a bag of dog doo on her porch, set it on fire

then ring the doorbell and run? It's about as mature as the "apology" they printed.

Assholes.

15. That would be way to sophisticated.

Dog doo is organic, after all.

[enough]

2. Yes, here's what they think:

snip>

The Republican Party of Dane County recognizes that Judge Sumi is a leftist living in Dane County. Her friends are leftists living in Dane County. Her son is a left wing activist in Dane County. She goes to cocktail parties held by leftists in Dane County. She shops at organic gourmet food shops run by leftists living in Dane County. If she were to enforce the law of Wisconsin and do what was in the best interest of the people of Wisconsin, she’d be exiled from her lifestyle. She’d lose her friends!

The leadership of the Republican Party of Dane County have all made the choice to stand against the Dane County elite. We accept that Left feels righteous vandalizing our homes and keying our cars. It's only fair. We disagree based upon logic and principle. That is intolerable! We prioritize the Constitution and the well being of the people of Wisconsin over foie gras at cocktail parties. That’s the choice we made. We respect Judge Sumi’s decision to live her life with the rich diversity that liberals cherish.

16. "Dane County elite"?

I live in Dane County. How come I never get invited to the cocktail parties?

18. Jayzus on a pogo stick!

Nurse, a Ketamine/Thorazine bomber here, and STAT!!

Someone should lock these people up in nice soft rooms out at the Dane County laughing academy.

That is on a par with the lunatic rantings of Francis E. Dec, Esq.

[Tansy_Gold]

3. Is this a joke? I mean

Are they really that far gone?

This IS a joke. It has to be.




Tansy Gold, who is sometimes very gullible but usually laughs at herself afterwards

[htuttle]

7. No, seriously -- they are THAT far gone

They also seem to be getting just stupider by the week.

[rurallib]

4. I am kind of speechless. These folk are unbelievable.

Thanks much for capturing that. No doubt the troglodytes who posted that will soon be advised as to its inflammatory nature.
But no doubt they will be heroes in freeperville.

[Pab Sungenis]

5. How many times must we scream it?

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

These people need to be in JAIL.

[Zorra]

6. I'm surprised they didn't mention that Judge Sumi is Jewish. Nazis usually

bring that up first of all.

[Botany]

9. I thought it was a put on @ first

The Republican Party of Dane County sent out a press release on March 29th criticizing Judge Maryann Sumi for holding up the publication of Governor Scott Walker’s collective bargaining reform bill. Upon further reflection we’d like to apologize for not understanding her point of view.

Sure, Governor Walker’s bill is unquestionably constitutional, increases worker’s rights and helps local government balance budgets without having to fire public workers. The Wisconsin state legislature consulted with their non-partisan parliamentarian to make sure that the passage of the bill followed the rules of the Senate and Assembly. But this isn’t about the law, is it?

The Republican Party of Dane County recognizes that Judge Sumi is a leftist living in Dane County. Her friends are leftists living in Dane County. Her son is a left wing activist in Dane County. She goes to cocktail parties held by leftists in Dane County. She shops at organic gourmet food shops run by leftists living in Dane County. If she were to enforce the law of Wisconsin and do what was in the best interest of the people of Wisconsin, she’d be exiled from her lifestyle. She’d lose her friends!

10. After poking around a little, it does look like that really is their website,

so that must really be their "apology".

A real life, in the wild, example of Poe's Law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poes_law

"Organic gourmet food shops"? "Foie gras at cocktail parties"? Are they for real? Why is it that conservatives are so obsessed with what people eat and drink? Or should I say with what they think people eat and drink. Do they really believe that the teachers and the police, fire and other public safety workers who came out in support of the "leftist" unions, shop in "organic gourmet food shops" and eat foie gras at cocktail parties? :crazy:

If I were to write a parody of a Republican apology this is close to what I might write. These people have become real life living parodies of themselves. Could they possibly be any more clueless? Could they possibly be any more graceless and ignorant?

[Tansy_Gold]

11. I'm surprised they don't accuse teachers of eating

organic vegetarian foie gras.


And yes, I'm coming to believe they ARE that stupid.

13. Yep, I too thought it was parody, satire, whatever. The fact that it's REAL....

...shows the mentality of the GOP.

They sound like a bunch of 7th grade girls.

[Blue_Tires]

20. organic caviar soy milk lattes are our new official drink...

[dhill926]

12. this isn't even high school level crap......

did their emotional and intellectual development stop in the womb?

[eppur_se_muova]

14. Parodies of leaders writing a parody of a parody of an apology? nt

[opihimoimoi]

17. Its NOT official...some GOPer LOON with a big head.. needs filling

[drm604]

19. It's currently at the top of their latest news page.

http://www.danegop.org/latestnews.aspx

So somebody in their organization who has rights to post "latest news" posted it. I'll grant that they may not have all sat down and had a vote on it, but, unless it was hacked, somebody they trust with the keys to the website posted it.

And with all of the hits in Google they must know about it by now and they haven't take it down.

21. Man, that's some apology

I can see why they would want to pull it off their website. If they were to offer an actual apology, they wouldn't any friends (they don't have any), but those Koch snorters lose all their funding.

But, consider the source. These are the same people who bussed in their useful idiots to disrupt town hall meeting for discussing health care reform with tactics that are best described as "brown shirt light."

[drm604]

25. They haven't pulled it off their website.

It's still there so I suppose they're proud of it.

They probably think that all of the talk about it means that they've touched a nerve. They haven't. Everybody is talking about it because we think it's funny and a little pathetic.

[Jack Rabbit]

26. It does touch with me

I hate seeing people like the Koch snorters behave in a way I promised my mommy that I wouldn't.

[malaise]

22. These fascists are crossing the line more and more

The Republican Party of Dane County recognizes that Judge Sumi is a leftist living in Dane County. Her friends are leftists living in Dane County. Her son is a left wing activist in Dane County. She goes to cocktail parties held by leftists in Dane County. She shops at organic gourmet food shops run by leftists living in Dane County. If she were to enforce the law of Wisconsin and do what was in the best interest of the people of Wisconsin, she’d be exiled from her lifestyle. She’d lose her friends!

[Sonicwall]

27. The thugs convienently forget it's ThugBoi Tommy Thompson

that appointed Judge Sumi.

[Tansy_Gold]

23. Has anyone sent a copy of this to Judge Sumi?

To the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel?

To Rachel Maddow?

To Keith Olbermann?


TG

[drm604]

24. It's on the Maddow Blog

http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/03/30/6374610-wisconsin-gop-has-lost-its-cool

It's also currently on the front page if you scroll down. http://maddowblog.msnbc.msn.com

So I assume that Rachel, at least, is aware of it.

A Google search shows that it's being discussed all over the web so I think the newspapers and people like Keith are also aware.

Feel free to contact them if you want to make sure.
