Late Night: A Passel of Petrified and Pathetic Pinheads

A pulsating black hole of stupidity threatened to suck St. Louis into its gaping maw last weekend. While Missouri residents narrowly escaped certain death by dumbness when the How to Take Back America conference convened at the Hilton, conference attendees happily wallowed in the muck of ignorant vitriol and conspiracy theories spewed by a panoply of Eagle Forum "speakers", including Zombie Phyllis Schlafly, Michele "I {Kissed} Killed a Census Worker" Bachmann, and Steve "Idiot" King (R-IA).

It's not entirely clear what the purpose of this convention was other than to kick off the new season of gay-bashing, Obama-bashing, health care reform-bashing, feminist-bashing and illegal immigrant-bashing. Y'know - just another day at the office for the conservative howler monkeys.

Other speakers at the conservative feeding frenzy included General William Boykin, who appears to be a one-trick pony at this point:

"You need to ask yourself, 'What price am I willing to pay?," Boykin told the audience. "What are you prepared to give up for America? Are you willing to pay the ultimate price?"

Boykin warned that "there is no greater threat to America than Islam" and asked patriotic Americans to get educated, get involved and pray.

1. scary idiots

"You need to ask yourself, 'What price am I willing to pay?," Boykin told the audience. "What are you prepared to give up for America? Are you willing to pay the ultimate price?"
Despite their bravado, they'd actually never be willing to 'pay the ultimate price' but are also not willing to part with a nickel for any "others" either.

3. Who was the old woman speaking that looked like Helen Thomas' long lost sister?

[babylonsister]

5. I like Ms. Thomas a lot, so think your comment is inappropriate.

But possibly Phyllis Schlafly.

7. I don't think it was Phyllis, I would have recognized her voice and style

But thanks for trying.

[imdjh]

8. So if I had said she looked a touch like George Washington, it would be insulting to his memory?

Please. I said nothing insulting about Thomas.

4. 'Obama's ovens'....these are sick fucks

[imdjh]

9. No, they are hysterical. By definition. They have lost all sense of context and proportion.

They never had any breeding, so we can't say they aren't living up to expectations.

6. Also perplexed and puzzled pinheads.

10. "If ignorance is bliss, why are these people so unhappy?"

Because some people are happy when they're unhappy. Really...I used to believe that unhappy people wanted to find happiness and will spend a lifetime to do so. But now, I believe that some folks are just happy with being unhappy. They'll bitch and moan about everything! And the old adage: "They'll bitch about the rope they're hung with" describes these folks to a tee.

I been in homes where I've seen people just complaining constantly. And it all comes from what they see on TV and hear on radio. It's gotten to the point I don't want to be around these folks anymore...
