Because some lying scumbag secretly recorded an NPR fundraiser making some off the cuff comments then editing the tape to make it seem like some terrible assault on the totally not racist Teabagging legions currently dictating the agenda of the entire Republican party.
But what's their response to a genuine emergency, like, say, Japan drowning then vanishing under a radioactive cloud spilling from melting nuclear reactors? Reactors nearly identical to many stateside nuclear plants?
Let's check in with deep thinker and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell:
"My thought about it is, we ought not to make American and domestic policy based upon an event that happened in Japan,” Mr. McConnell said.
The modern GOP in a nutshell.
Ginned up culture war bullshit?
Quick, to the statehouse, Robin!
Global disaster with serious domestic ramifications?
Whatever, as long as GE's checks keep clearing they're cool with me!
Whoever is voting for these dangerous, infantile cretins, please stop.
/edit
preepmtively, let me say yes, Dems also have their crap artists and idiots, but on the whole they do a much better job of not being utter slaves to an idealogical fringe and of at least understanding that there's a real world that real people live in, even if they don't always grasp how it works in practice.
Oh wait, hey look, here's the Republican house MAJORITY leader jumping on the stupidity bandwagon!
