Pinko Commie Fags

You rang?

Wow.

Tune in at about 54 seconds into the video for a special message to LGBTQ populations:

Commie faggots?!? Now I don't hold the McCain/Palin campaign accountable for the verbal diarrhea of their "base," but at least the terrorist bits come straight out of Sarah Palin's recent speeches, ya know, where she talks about Obama and who he's been "pallin' around with."

The fact that so many of these folks think Obama is a muslim (and, ahem, that being a muslim precludes one from being the President of the United States) simply based on his name is riDONKulous. As my good friend has told those folks who hold this opinion dear on many occasions "My first name's Mary, does it mean I'm a Christian? Am I getting into heaven?"

Most of the time they say no. And in the case of my friend, rightfully so.
