REPUBLICAN OFFICIAL: PEOPLE WITH OBAMA BUMPER STICKERS ARE ‘MENTALLY RETARDED’ | At an election party last night, Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County GOP Chair, Jim Roddey, brought the crowd to laughter and applause by calling an Obama supporter “mentally retarded.” Roddey, who is a long-time supporter of Mitt Romney, told the joke to a crowd of about 200: “I was very embarrassed. I was in this parking lot and there was a man looking for a space to park, and I found a space for him. And I felt badly — he looked like he was sort of in distress. And I said, ‘Sir, here’s a place.’ And he said, ‘That’s a handicapped space.’ I said, ‘Oh I’m so sorry, I saw that Obama sticker and I thought you were mentally retarded.’”

2. Gee, since I have 3 of them on my car, what am I?

3. I have seen a total of 1 (one) Romney Bumper Sticker in Central Ohio but ....

.... tons of Obama stickers and yard signs.

[reflection]

12. I live in TN, I've seen *one* Romney bumpersticker

and I've been looking. One. And it was on a Lincoln Town Car with GA license plates. I have yet to see one from my own state, and I imagine Romney will carry it handily. I just don't think he resonates with people, even the ones who will vote for him. Obama, for all his faults, can still stir your soul on occasion. Romney is just an android politician with a buggy OS.

4. People with Romney bumper stickers like sex with animals

so there.

5. God, that is disgusting on more than one level.

Obviously mental illness is a joke to him as well.

6. I see. A person who supports perpetual Trickle Down, folly wars and Church/state mergers . . .

. . . is calling ME "mentally retarded".

THAT makes a ton of sense, you ball-boxing sack of dicks. Hey Jimmy, as long as we're going for low-hanging fruit, how about I make fun of YOU for being 77 years old, fucko?

7. This is similar to what my idiot cousin said

He wrote on Facebook that he saw a car with an Autism Speaks bumper sticker and an Obama sticker. "Well at least they know they are retarded." When I called him out on his lunacy I got called a Hitler Loving Jew (because as you know Obama is Hitler ). I know he was dropped on his head when he was a child, so I told him that was why he's such a conspiracy nut. His stupid sister (also my cousin) said I was too harsh to him. I'm done with idiots in my life - especially family members. This was one of the worst things I'd ever seen. And yes I defriended him. My life has better ever since. At least I don't have to see his info-wars crap any longer.

8. I won't hold my breath waiting for the outraged Sarah Palin Facebook post on this one.

11. +1

9. While the GOP may think that is all cute and a smart thing to do

to suggest or call any Obama Supporter that, it only shows their ignorance. By doing so, instead of actually "hitting" Obama Supporters with it, it hits anyone who has ever worked with, has a family member, or knows someone who do have physical and mental disabilities.

This is disgusting GOP.

10. Thanks for the reminder.

I'll go stick mine on!

13. Note Roddey's use of ca. 1950s diction: "handicapped" (versus

the current 'disabled') and "mentally retarded" (versus the current 'intellectually disabled').

Making fun of the intellectually disabled. Way to show some class.

We really need to push this story national\viral. Yeah, I know sociopaths are incapable of being shamed but this story should resonate in the minds of true independents to show the utter cruelty and moral depravity of today's Repigs.
