Rachel has just poo pooed all over Willard

[malaise]

That Shaemus shit stain on the roof is spreading and I'm lovin' it.

1. "Rin Tin Ear" -- Love her title for this segment, too.

And from HuffPo today:

Romney's Dog on Car Roof Story Won't Go Away

[malaise]

10. That was great

:hu:

[hlthe2b]

2. I sure hope ole Seamus managed to find loving pals (like my own departed babes) on the other side

of that rainbow bridge. How horrific to think someone could treat a dog like that (and see nothing wrong with it). I just cringe thinking of that poor terrified dog.

[malaise]

8. It's unbelievable

and his explanation was worse than the action

[arcane1]

21. It begs a question I've asked many times over the years:

Why have a dog at all, if that's how you're going to treat it?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

25. Because you're going for the 'look.' You're accessorizing.

Perfect looking photogenic family accented by photogenic irish setter.

[montanacowboy]

3. I have been waiting for this story

to hit all over; this prick is a cold hearted SOB who only cares about himself and his perfect family and how much money he can stuff into his billionaire's bank account no matter how many bodies he has to walk over.

Any person who would do this to an animal deserves no less themselves and anyone who votes for this less than human POS should spend the rest of their lives regretting it.

[malaise]

5. Now might be a good time for the Obamas

to do a spread with Bo

[Hepburn]

4. My Scottie and I joined Dogs Against Romney on Facebook.

Ton of people on there!

[malaise]

6. Love it

Dog lovers and dogs against Willard

[Hepburn]

11. The comments are great...

...and exactly what Willard deserves.

My dog is a member of my family. Put her on the car roof??? EGADS! She has her own customized safety seat secured on the rear seat of my CRV. I would put myself on the car roof before I would put her there! The kind of unconditional love a dog gives deserves the best treatment and care.

Fuck Romney...putting the dog on the car roof tells me all I need to know about that asshole.

[malaise]

16. We don't have one now but

we adored Roots for 12 years.

[arcane1]

22. Joining!!!

My ex-boss is a HUGE pet lover, always posting adoption/cruelty things on FB. She also had a Rumsfeld screen saver. Time for some cognitive dissonance!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

7. I'd love a link, if you have one.

There is something wrong with people who abuse animals. Something deeply sick and wrong; can't believe how he giggles at what he did, thinks it's just fine.

go to mormon hell, Rmoney...in fact, don't wait till you die, just be miserable NOW and forever, you rotten slimy scum.

[malaise]

9. The video will be at Rachel Maddow's website in an hour or so

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. Thanks!! You're the best!

[FarLeftFist]

12. LOL @ Thread Title!

[malaise]

18. LOL

[Hepburn]

14. Just found this picture~~

Dog Lovers are not pleased with what Mittens did to Shamus.

[malaise]

15. Hahahahahahahaha

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. And now there's a new Google bomb in the works:

http://spreadingromney.com

Be sure to link it whenever you mention Romney's name.

[malaise]

19. And now for the obvious response

Oh Shite!!

[renate]

20. I love dogs but I think too much is being made of this

I wouldn't make him King of Dogs, but this story doesn't have much to do with his ability to be president.

On another note, I really admire Rachel and her producers for looking into the tarmac-shoeshine picture and setting the record straight so promptly. Can you imagine Fox doing the same thing? (Pause for hollow laughter.) That said, I really hope they don't hold it against Steve Karnecki (sorry about the spelling) for making an honest mistake about what he's seen all over the Internets today--everybody was saying it was a shoeshine.

[waddirum]

23. Sure it does

"...but this story doesn't have much to do with his ability to be president."

It shows his lack of judgement and basic human decency. The Seamus story makes me think he is a psychopathic asshole, who is unfit to be President.

[LiberalAndProud]

24. Absolute absence of empathy or compassion is

a quality that reflects directly on his ability to be a good president. (Think Katrina.)

[malaise]

26. I disagree - here's the video
