South Dakota GOPer Jokes That Obama, Taxi Drivers Were Sent Here By ISIL

South Dakota state Rep. Betty Olson's newspaper column last month opened innocently enough.

Writing for the Rapid City Journal, Olson (R) noted that the area had received "a lot of rain," which made for a "soupy mess" at a local rodeo event.

...

But Olson, who spearheaded the legislative effort to arm South Dakota teachers, saved the best material for last.

After expressing grief over the beheading of American journalist Steve Sotloff, Olson closed on a "lighter note," sharing a faux warning from the Islamic State that's made the rounds on conservative message boards.

This morning ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood warned the United States that if the United States continued meddling in Iraq, Libya, and other potential hot spots in the Middle East, they intend to cut off America's supply of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers.
If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T and AOL customer service reps.

Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened not to send us any more presidents either.
