Republicans Filed FEC Complaint Against Obama For Visiting Dying Grandmother!
I'm sure this MUST have been already mentioned here, but I didn't see it.

Yet another instance of: Don't EVER think republicans have gone as low as they can go. They can always go lower. What sick fucks republicans are.

http://www.americablog.com/2008/11/disturbed-desperate-republicans-filed.html
"Heartless bastards. The California Republican Party filed an FEC complaint against Barack Obama today for visiting his dying grandmother -- just hours before his grandmother died. BarbinMD at DailyKos has the details in a post aptly titled, "This Is What Desperation Smells Like." The Republicans are somehow alleging Obama that a presidential candidate using the campaign plane to fly to one of the 50 states is a violation of the law. They're sick. Really, they're sick. "

1. Just remember this when you're tempted to give in to their whining about bipartisanship
and respect for the minority view in Congress.

5. And in light of the news of Toot's passing, the "liberal media" will be plastering this all over
the place, right? Right?

Should I hold my breath?

6. Of course, if he'd flown a private plane or commercial...
they would have bitched that he was trying to avoid media scrutiny and operate covertly while he went to doctor his birth records.

Between taking secret service, staff, family, and the small "pool" of media people, he'd need a full plane for the trip.

12. Yes, if he'd taken a commercial flight.....
they would have bitched about how Obama inconvenienced the other passengers who had to accommodate his party, wait longer for take off and deplaning, etc. etc.

14. They already did that, I believe Billy Cunningham
said he went there to destroy his real birth certificate and Savage said he went to smother her with a pillow to keep her quiet about his real birthplace.

Wow. He's a thoroughly disgusting human being.

9. Bottom line, what's the worst that's likely to happen?
I don't think the FEC or the DOJ would consider that there was an intent for personal enrichment. He'd have to return/repay the money. I doubt this rises to any level of criminality.

11. I hope every one of these fuckers dies alone, virginal, and friendless
and that there is a line a mile long to piss on their graves

Showing distain and disrespect to someone who has suffered such a loss just because of his politics and/or skin color. I guess it is possible to live without a heart...

23. I Called the CA GOP Today and asked if they were ashamed of themselves
Needless to say, the secretary had no idea what to say, and hung up on me after 30 seconds of silence and saying that she didnt send out the memo.

25. Uh, he was still working while there, answering calls,
managing his campaign.

Where ever he went during the campaign, even trick or treating, he was still public, still working.

33. The Lowest of the Low
GOP now officially is an acronym for
Gutter politics
Obstruction of justice
Propagandizing and race-baiting.

What's next? Asking mom whose babies were held by Obama to be charged with molestation?
Oh wait, I'm sure there's something illegal about the speaker volume at the rallies. Yeah, let's file an FEC complaint about that!

I hope Obama remembers this when it comes time to make policy decisions and hiring.

34. How do these assholes know Barack - or someone on his behalf -
didn't foot the bill for the plane to Hawaii? This is the meanest, nastiest bunch on the planet . . . and I bet they all call themselves Christians.
