The Minnesota Republican who claims AIDS is caused by sperm eating your colon is, it turns out, just full of top-notch science:

(Bob Frey) alleged in a 2004 appearance before the Minnesota State Senate Education Committee that the fossil record proves that “dinosaurs have always lived with man,” and such “real science” should be taught in public schools. (...)

Bluestem Prairie also reports that Frey used to run a group called Creation Science Seminars, which claimed that teaching Creationism would reduce the rate of violence that the theory of evolution had apparently brought upon communities.

1. Stupidity has reached critical mass in the Republican party.

[atreides1]

26. Yes it has

But that's because the average Republican has the critical thinking skills of a rock...and that's just those running for office!

[CBGLuthier]

2. I think we got some dinosaurs in Congress. So he has a teeny tiny point.

I consider anyone stupid enough to still believe the fucking FLINTSTONES offers lessons in natural history might just be a dinosaur.

3. Damn it - where's my dinosaur? I love dinosaurs!

I don't want one of those ones that eats people - but a nice little peaceful triceratops would be ok.

Who's boggarting all the dinosaurs?

6. Bob Frey is. n/t

[Swede Atlanta]

4. Hmmmm......

I don't recall reading anything in Genesis about God creating the dinosaurs or Noah herding two of each dinosaur species onto the ark. I must have gotten the wrong version of the Bible.

What a twit. In general Minnesota is a state of relatively intelligent persons but you put this guy along with Bachmann together than they have 1/4 of a normal brain.

[geardaddy]

5. From Michele Bachmann to Bob Frey

The dumbing of the MNGOP.

32. Republicans Say the Darndest Things

Sodomy causes AIDS. Bob Frey says so. And he has a "scientific" explanation on how that happens.

13. Dear Bob Frey. . .

[The Traveler]

14. Spielberg shot that poor triceratops and then posed for a trophy picture

No, this dude didn't say that ... I am linking the internet outrage generated by a picture of Spielberg next to a triceratops model from Jurassic Park. There are people who really think dinosaurs are still around, apparently ... and idiots like this don't help.

These zany Republicans. What will they come up with next?

15. A consummate moron, indeed.

He has one other right-wing Republican running against him in the August primary, along with a Democrat who will be on the November ballot. Carver County is a nutcase conservative center and District 47a, which this moron is trying to represent, is very likely to elect a Republican. Will it be Bob Frey? Could be. I don't follow that district very closely, but it has a history of electing morons.

As they say here in Minnesota, Uff da!

[geardaddy]

17. Hey MM

who's the other Gooper?

I live in 61B, so I'm lucky to have Thissen.

[MineralMan]

18. Jim Nash is the other GOOPer.

The Democratic candidate, who has no primary opponent is Matthew Gieseke. His website: http://www.matthewgieseke.org/

If Frey wins the Primary, there might be an opportunity to flip the district if his moronic statements are used to campaign against him. I don't know, and am focused closer to my own district, 67a, for the state house.

19. Thanks!

[BlueStater]

20. He isn't wrong.

Here's photographic evidence that he's correct:

21. Yeah I used to have a little dinosaur that brought me slippers when I got home from work

Friendly little critter. Unfortunately I had to take it to the animal shelter when the bank foreclosed on my cave and I had to move about 100 million years ago.

[Initech]

22. Does he get all his knowledge of science from the Flintstones?

[sakabatou]

23. Teh stupid! It buuuuurns!

[dembotoz]

24. sanity is not needed to be elected

in some districts i think it hurts

[Hugabear]

25. Of cousre dinosaurs still exist!

And one of these days, one of these woo-woo reality shows is going to find one and prove it!

[unblock]

27. well, technically, birds *are* dinosaurs....

[Blue Owl]

28. Bob needs to check himself before he Rex himself

[Spirochete]

30. He thinks the Flintstones

was a reality show? WTF?

[smilodon populator]

31. Actually, dinosaurs have always lived with men.

They still do. We eat roast dinosaur every thanksgiving. Colonel Sanders serves Kentucky fried dinosaur. The smallest dinosaurs that ever lived are alive today. We call them hummingbirds.

Ever since Jurassic Park I can never look at wild turkeys the same way. If I see them out in a field I stop the car and just watch them a while. How they move, the way they bob their heads when they walk. And just for a moment I'm back in the Mesozoic. Wild turkeys are just about the size of the real Velociraptor. And they had feathers. Spielberg got a lot wrong about the stars of JP. He made them way too big, for one thing. Jack Horner, the real life inspiration for the Sam Neil character, looked at a skeleton discovered by one of his grad students and told him "kid, you just found Spielberg's Velociraptor." He named it Utahraptor.

IOf you want to see what Velociraptor really looked like, check this out:

The GOP has become a punch line
