Whooooeee! Teabagger on Wash Journal this morning said they prayed

[morningglory]

so very hard for Robert Byrd to die, and then he started sobbing. Said "It back-farred on us. One of our members died !" Was that one of you guys trying to make those idiots look stooopid? It was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!

[KharmaTrain]

1. Barrasso Is A Tool...

I heard the call...and the look on Barrasso's face was priceless. It went from glee to horror and then total confusion. :rofl:

[KansDem]

2. "Said 'It back-farred on us. One of our members died !'"

That's why "children" should not be allowed to play with guns...or prayers.

[WeDidIt]

3. I guess God told them, didn't he? n/t

[AndyA]

4. What a horrible, terrible thing for Sen. Coburn to say.

Coming from a "conservative doctor" makes it even worse.

Believe me, I let his office know how I felt about his remarks, which were disgraceful and undignified coming from a so-called "medical professional" who is also a "Senator."

As one of Coburn's constituents, I can tell you he is a LOUSY, HORRIBLE Senator who does not represent a vast number of people in his district. I can't speculate on his ability or level of care as a doctor, but I would venture to say after making such a disgraceful comment, he has little value of human life, which makes him UNFIT to be a doctor, in my opinion.

8. This is Coburn, so I'm so not shocked whatsoever

If the guy can make an ass saying something horrible like wishing the death of someone - he'll do it because the guy is a pompous ass.

[felinetta]

27. Coburn should have his medical licence revoked. They take an oath to do no harm. He has no soul.

[LynneSin]

5. Who died

:shrug:

[blondeatlast]

9. I;m Googling to no avail; I have no idea. nt

[tekisui]

11. I haven't read of any notable repubs dying.

Who know what they were going on about? Maybe someone in their family?

[immoderate]

30. Nobody died, AFAICT, but Inhofe didn't show up today.

I'll refrain from speculating, lest someone think I am wishing some harm to come to him. O8)

--imm

[LynneSin]

34. Maybe Inhofe went hiking on the Appalachian Trail to clear his head

:shrug:

I heard hiking really clears the minds of republicans

[immoderate]

36. LOL. (really)

Clear is one thing. Mountain top removal is excessive. Inhofe's mind is so clear of anything, that Buddhists gaze with wonder and awe.

--imm

[seemunkee]

6. Who died?

[WeDidIt]

10. Apparently a member of their teabagging prayer group. n/t

[blondeatlast]

13. Ah, I see. The Lord, She worketh ion mysterious (and playful) ways... nt

[SoCalDem]

16. Jehovah, he did Smite.. an asshole full of Spite.. Amen Hallelujah & good night

:)

[blondeatlast]

24. ...

Ah, I needed that laugh this morning! :rofl:

[kestrel91316]

20. Oops. Guess somebody ran up against the Rede and the Law of Threefold Return.......

[NJmaverick]

7. They are some really derranged people. Anyone have a link?

I might find use for this story.

[SpiralHawk]

12. The Republicons were using Black Magic by praying for harm

Since there are so many occultists among the Republicons, you think one of the Dark Siders would have offered the classique clue known since antiquity: Black Magic always comes back upon the perp (some say 3x, some 4x).

Black Magic Republicon Occultists ought to have figured out by now: karma is a bitch.

[Yuugal]

15. Did someone say Dark-sided?

19. Ddddaaaa

Whoa - that be more dEEmoniC stUFf that I can handle this early in the millennium...

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

14. Isn't there an Aesop's about ill wishes come home to roost

or something like that?

It is very very bad karma to wish bad things to befall other people, let alone actually praying for it.

[Hepburn]

17. Do no harm...Rule of Three....

...Blessed be...:hi:

[kestrel91316]

21. Yet. Even "ignorant pagans" know you don't do a spell to harm another.

[silverweb]

37. My first thought, too.

:)

[YOY]

18. Dunno what's sadder.

So called "Christians" praying for someone's death or people who think praying for someone's death works.

It would be ironic if the member of their prayer group wouldn't have died of a single payer system was established.

[Are_grits_groceries]

22. Gawd has a computer too:

All prayers are answered, but not exactly how the person wishes.

[newtothegame]

23. I hate this bigoted, homophobic "teabagger" term. It's disgusting, childish, and has no place on DU.

[Ikonoklast]

26. They chose it for themselves.

Your argument is with them.

But, you knew that, didn't you?

[blondeatlast]

29. +1. nt

[blondeatlast]

28. The teabaggers use it to describe themselves--and what is homophobic about it?

I've seen it in straight porn, geez.

[blondeatlast]

31. Than hit the alert buitton--on the term the teabaggers chose THEMSELVES.

FAIL.

[LynneSin]

35. They were the ones that coined it

Seriously. I probably have the link somewhere bookmarked.

[BlueIdaho]

25. Oh goodie - magical thinking...

[comrade snarky]

32. Magical? Sure

Thinking?

I have doubts.

[CoffinEd]

33. Being a native of Louisiana

I know that if you don't get the 'spell' exactly right, stuff like this can happen. As I said in another thread discussing this topic, sometimes those pesky little unintended consequences can be a blip! B-)
