Joe the plumber gets stupid:

“I personally still think it’s wrong,” Wurzelbacher opined in 2009. “People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do—what man and woman are for.”

“I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual,” he added. “And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”

“Have you changed your positions on this at all?” Sambolin asked the GOP candidate on Thursday.

“So, this is TMZ. This isn’t CNN is what you’re saying?” Wurzelbacher complained. “No, I want everybody to have a job.”

“What about these comments that you made?” the CNN host pressed. “Do you stand by these comments?”

“Listen, in my dictionary and in everyone’s dictionary from the 1970s, the word queer did mean strange and unusual. There was no slur to it. Do you challenge that?” Wurzelbacher shot back. “Come on. You’re trying to do a gotcha moment, it’s quite obvious.”

“No, no, it’s not a gotcha moment,” Sambolin replied. “These are things that you said and I think people voting for you should have an opportunity to understand whether or not you have changed your positions on these two issues here.”

“I’m allowed to have my opinion as an American but it seems the left becomes very intolerant when you have an opinion other than what they state,” Wurzelbacher insisted. “My opinions are mine.”

Ron Paul: Abortion OK if it’s for an “honest rape.”

This fucking guy is just the worst.

On way to anti-choice rally Rand Paul refused TSA pat-down. Because invasive government is wrong when it’s a man’s body.

According to an RIAA representative, Boston’s Globe got the story on SOPA and PIPA right. Nevermind the irony that he linked to free content on the internet or the fact that he links to an editorial, not a story. Instead, focus on the content of what he calls supports.

The Stop Online Piracy Act currently before Congress would finally give law enforcement the tools to crack down on the websites that enable Internet piracy. Currently, one can use Google to quickly jump to a site that offers pirated HBO shows or bootlegs of the latest hit album, or go on YouTube and watch television shows or music videos uploaded illegally, actions for which neither website faces repercussions. (YouTube has a policy against posting pirated material, but no legal obligation to police its site.)

If passed, the anti-piracy legislation would impose real consequences on companies that make it easy to access pirated content. The government could order search engines and Internet service providers to block access to sites that illegally infringe upon intellectual property. Instead of trying to track down each individual user, the Justice Department would have the necessary tools to go after the websites that enable this intellectual property theft.

This is a pretty big admission. Essentially, the RIAA, by supporting this interpretation of the bills, have confirmed our worst fears about it. The RIAA wants a government controlled Google (or more accurately, they want to control Google, YouTube and more via the government.)

“I believe it’s a combination of genetics and environment,” Gingrich said. “I think both are involved, and I think people have many ranges of choices.”

Gingrich can have it both ways (or at least what he thinks is both ways) on this debate because he qualified the statement with an “I think.” Newt, nobody gives a crap what you think, people are interested in WHAT IS KNOWN, you miserable piece of human trash.

Teabagger shows true colors, calls Elizabeth Warren a “whore.”

Way to go, conservatives. You’ve really shown who you are.

“In the House of Representatives, what have you guys been doing, John?” Obama continued, calling out Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio). “You’ve been debating a commemorative coin for baseball. You’ve had legislation reaffirming that ‘In God We Trust’ is our motto. That’s not putting people back to work”

So, if I understand #Republican values: Fucking a consenting intern=wrong, cheating on 2 wives=OK, harassing women=OK, bare arms=wrong
