Right Wing World: Politicians Pander to Fearful GOP Fringe in Texas

I hesitated when writing "Fringe" in the headline. Because, clearly, the fringe has been wholly assimilated into the Republican mainstream these days. What would you have to believe to be considered a fringe right-winger these days? I mean, when you've got a batshit crazy conspiracy theory being given promotion and credence by elected officials and presidential candidates? You've gone around the bend, and I don't think you're coming back. So, please spare me the "both sides are the same." They really aren't. Find me a left-wing Louie Gohmert. You can't do it.

Conservatives Keep Pouring Fuel On The Texas Takeover Fire

The Pentagon has no plans to stage a military takeover of the Lone Star state. There are no tunnels covertly being constructed under West Texas' shuttered Wal-Mart stores.
So why are the fringes of the Internet still abuzz with rumors that the U.S. military is on the cusp of imposing martial law in "hostile" Texas under the guise of a training exercise dubbed "Jade Helm 15"? Representatives of the military and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R), whose state is expected to host part of the planned training exercise, have sought to tamp down speculation that "Jade Helm 15" is anything other than a standard training exercise. . .

Texas Idiot Louie Gohmert Mulling Presidential Run

I'm pretty sure he was a character on Green Acres.

Oh, come on... There can not be a gift to the comedy gods this ripe, when Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show, and with The Colbert Report already gone! I have ripped on the fact that every four years there is a brand-new model of clown car stuffed full of GOP contenders for nuttiest nutbar to run for President. But never has one of them been quite so obviously both nutty and stupid as Louie Gohmert.

Gohmert is Exhibit A for many things, from "What's wrong with Congress," to "Why we should DEFINITELY mess with Texas." He's a gibbering, laughable, ridiculous, plain-as-day idiot. And if he--like fellow nuts before him, like Rick (don't Google me) Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and others--manages to rise to the top of the Republican primary polling, even for a nanosecond? It will prove that conservatives will follow anyone with an (R) after their name. And the run, however brief, will be hilarious, regardless.

Louie Gohmert is weighing a presidential run — here are 5 reasons we hope he goes for it
 
dds are that there are people hoping Tea Party Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) joins Sen. Ted Cruz in the presidential field. Namely, progressive comedians. So his statement to The Hill on Thursday indicating that he is at least considering it should be cause for celebration. When asked if he was considering supporting his fellow Texas Republican’s burgeoning candidacy, Gohmert said, “Ted is a good friend and would be an outstanding President; however, I haven’t ruled out an exploratory committee myself. . .”

Louie Gohmert is an Idiot, Part #87

Texas should be embarrassed. Eric Holder deserves a medal for putting up with Gohmert, and for the masterful asparagus dig.
 

Louie Gohmert Wants to Impeach Obama for Congress Defaulting

The face of a Republican hero. Mindboggling.

This is just so idiotic. Of course, if Louie Gohmert is involved it is--by definition--idiotic. But I mean, come on.

Louie Gohmert: A Debt Default Is 'An Impeachable Offense By The President'

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) isn't sure whether he'll support a debt limit deal, but he is sure of one thing: a debt default would be President Barack Obama's fault. A reporter for The Young Turks asked Gohmert whether he'd support a bill that would raise the debt ceiling at the Values Voter Summit on Friday. "The word 'deal' concerns me," he said. "If it's good for America. . ."

Right Wing World: Sarah Palin/Louie Gohmert 2016?

This is submitted without comment, except to say that FreeRepublic.com is basically Tea Party Central, and this is a direct screen grab from that site. And to say that This. Would be. Hilarious.

 

The Hyperactive NSA (Rocky Mountain Mike Song Parody)

Well, if the House of Representatives was interested enough in a previous Rocky Mountain Mike parody about Rep. Louie Gohmert, does that mean that the NSA will visit me on this one? Or does that go without saying? This is a knockout parody of Harper Valley PTA by Jeanne C. Riley, featuring "Mary in Ann Arbor" singing. This one took some work. Enjoy it. . .whoever's listening. . .

EDITOR'S NOTE: I want to be sure to point out that I don't have a darn thing to do with these great parodies. I just love them, and Mike is good enough to allow lowly bloggers like me to post them. I haven't disclaimered one of these in a while, and wanted that to be clear. You NSA boys take note too. . .

Someone in the House is Watching Me (and Rocky Mountain Mike)

Click to embiggen!

Forget the IRS and the NSA! Someone from the United States House of Representatives has visited my little ol' site. And what were they doing here? Listening to Rocky Mountain Mike's parody song dedicated to Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas). Louie, was it you? Here's the song, if you want to check it out yourself. It's to the tune of Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys. But of course, Louie's version is Little Douche Bag. Enjoy!

Louie Gohmert, the Little Douche Bag (Rocky Mountain Mike Song Parody)

Oh, good. I needed something fun for the blog. I mean, more fun than Glenn Beck losing his voice (oops, I slipped). Here's a great new Rocky Mountain Mike song parody, about that crazy/stupid little weasel, Louie Gohmert, to the tune of Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys.

Louie Gohmert is Apparently Insane

Louie Gohmert Time! (Rocky Mountain Mike Song Parody)

Louie Gohmert, one of the screwiest House members, gets his from Rocky Mountain Mike, the song wizard of The Stephanie Miller Show. Mungo Jerry should be pleased.

 

Jon Stewart: Why Do Conservatives Always Bring Up Bestiality?

Over the last couple of days a couple of different conservatives have made extremely bad analogies that culminated in "sex with animals," otherwise known as bestiality. On their way there, they also mentioned things like pedophilia, murder and polygamy, you know the usual. And I mean usual too, because if you've been in the trenches on the blogosphere, conservative keyboard commandos often make these strained and inappropriate analogies.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart isn't the only host to notice that it's conservatives--always conservatives--who always dredge up bestiality. In recent days, I've heard some pretty good comedy on the subject from both The Stephanie Miller Show and The Randi Rhodes Show as well. And it's a damned good question! By the way, please pay attention to the bit where Jon takes apart Louie Gohmert's inane attempt at comparing limiting gun magazines, and allowing same-sex marriage.

Stewart Trashes GOP On Gay Marriage-Bestality Link: ‘What Is It With You People And The Animal-F*cking?’



Jon Stewart tonight took on the GOP’s rebranding efforts, especially with minority outreach. Stewart mocked the short amount of time it took for someone in the Republican party to throw a wrench in those efforts, and found it just a little disturbing how popular the slippery-slope “gay marriage will lead to bestiality” line is on the right. Stewart asked, “What is it with you people and the animal-fucking? . . .”
