Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
As she clings to the remains of her relevance, Sarah Palin is desperate for attention.
And I’m going to give it to her because I’m magnanimous and benevolent:
“President Obama’s shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end.” That’s what she said. On Facebook. (Because her political relevance, like that of so many assholes, is confined to her syphilitic mind and social media.)

Yesterday, former Wisconsin Governor and current Senate candidate Tommy Thompson had to give his dumbass 38-year-old son a stern talking-to because said dumbass 38-year-old son thought it would be hilarious to make a birther joke and tell President Obama to go back to Africa, all the while God and YouTube were watching:

Disgraced former Republican Governor of South Carolina and current Fox News contributor Mark Sanford went out of his way to call President Obama a spearchucker this morning.
Via Raw Story:
Former Gov. Mark Sanford — now a Fox News contributor — told Fox News host Shannon Bream that President Barack Obama would have to be much more aggressive during the next debate because Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was seen as dominating the first encounter.
“Obama’s going to come out in this case much more forcefully, and he’s going to throw a lot of spears,” Sanford opined. “And I think it’s very, very important that in this case that, you know, Romney stay focused on his vision for the country and stay focused on the things that, I think, matter most to people in this country, which is, where is the economy going, where are we with jobs, and what’s happening next on the debt and the deficit issue?”

You know, I don’t even have a comment for this nonsense. I just want to point out that this asshole thinks that slavery was a blessing, that black people don’t contribute to society, and that Obama is walking us down the path to Hitlertown.

The Daily Caller, The Drudge Report, and Fox News trolled America yesterday, with shocking revelations that President Obama, who is black, gave a speech in 2007. (He was black then, too!) These idiots hyped the video which was supposed to show, much to the chagrin of White America, President Obama saying and doing black things, talking to black Americans, and oh my god the horror, the horror.
It was an embarrassing day for wingnuts because they all covered this video back in 2007, and the full video has been online for 5 fucking years.
*** Anne Laurie and Zandar covered this as well. You can read my take here, if you’re so inclined.

The Shocking 2007 Video that Reveals that Obama Just Might Be BlackPost + Comments (70)
A Virginia GOP affiliate thought it would be hilarious to post photos of President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman, and a thug on the official Mecklenburg County GOP Facebook page. When Virginia Republican Party officials asked the chairman of the committee, a dude named Wallace “Wally” Hudson, to remove the images, Wally laughed and refused.
Why?
Because racism is always hilarious, and if you don’t think so, you should shut up and quit being so goddamn sensitive, that’s why:
RICHMOND — Virginia Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.
~snip~
R. Wallace “Wally” Hudson, chairman of the committee, was surprised to hear from a reporter that anyone had taken offense.“If that group is that sensitive, I’m sorry, they’re just not human,” he said, chuckling. “It’s not American. If they’ve got a problem with it, we’re not going to change what we do.”
He didn’t seem any more inclined to take the state party’s feelings into account when told in a subsequent interview what Mullins had said.“They can do what they want,” he said, chuckling again. “I’m waiting for the phone call.”
Note the classic defense against patently racist behavior — “They’re too sensitive.” Such nonsense is always the first refuge of a racist or an asshole defending racist behavior.
The “they’re not human because they’re so sensitive” angle is one that I have not encountered before. Usually we’re not human because we’re black, not because we’re “sensitive.”
But whatever. No one ever said that racism, the behavior of racists, and the behavior of those who defend patently racist behavior was the stuff of intelligent people.
Also note that the perpetrator of this racist bullshit was “surprised” that anyone would take offense. “Whaaa? Whaddya mean it’s offensive? It’s hilaaaaaaarious!”
No. No, it’s not.
