http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/7-craziest-right-wing-rants-week-satans-role-graham-crackers1. Charles Koch writes hateful opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, then moronic GOP senator recites it on the floor, instantly proving that pols are puppets of billionaires.
Isn't it ftting that greedy-ass billionaire Charles Koch published his op-ed claiming he is against cronyism and political favors knowing full well that he and his equally evil brother David spend hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase those favors the same week the Supreme Court ruled that the Kochs dont even need the cover of an organization to outright buy politicians anymore?

2. Glenn Beck: Obama is a military dictator who designs his own uniforms.
Radio wack-job Glenn Beck spewed so much craziness this week, its hard to isolate just one tidbit. The man is a veritable gusher of insane vitriol. Still, Beck became particularly unhinged by the news about Obamacare enrollment and went on an epic rant to rival his other epic rants. Some of the more absurd moments: This guy (President Obama), put him on a balcony in a military uniform, this guys a full-fledged dictator . . . What are we doing? Were watching a circus. Right now, were still allowed to say, this is bogus. This is a fairytale. The emperor has no clothes. . . And everyone in the press, you rat bastards, you know . . . This is borderline insane, (Obamas) a sociopath.

3. Pat Buchanan: God is on Putins side. The West is like Gomorrah.
Pat Buchanan was having a little chat with God this weekend and God said, You know, I like this guy Putin. He hates gays as much as I do.

4. Rick Perry: Nah, were not going to do anything to curtail prison rape in Texas.
Prison rape is epidemic, and at least one in eight juveniles in detention are sexually assaulted, according to a (conservative) Bureau of Justice survey. Way back in 2003, a law to gradually curb rape in prison was enacted. It gave states plenty of time to implement some changes, like more than 10 years. (So, sorry you inmates who have been raped in the interim.)
And mornin', dah-link!

(36,258 posts)The graham cracker was originally conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture on "self-abuse" as masturbation was commonly called at the time. Graham would often say how these experiences were inspired by children eating crackers.[1] One of his many theories was that one could curb one's sexual appetite by eating bland foods. Another man who held this belief was John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of the corn flakes cereal.[2]
