Absolutely right except for the minor facts that Odinga is not Obama's cousin (despite his claim to the contrary) and that Obama never campaigned for him.

It's interesting how sites that make these claims (almost always using the exact same copypasta from somewhere like WND) are almost always sites that make birther claims.

Yet you all cheered on the war in Iraq, backed by a shallow moral conviction, while calling all those opposed traitors. Of course nobody cared about cutting taxes and borrowing money to throw into some bottomless pit then, they all cheered it and ran out to buy their yellow ribbon magnets.

Today however, humanitarian aid to another country is something we simply "can't afford."

Gotcha.

There was nothing racist about my "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" joke. The trailer where the apes are runnig through traffic attacking every human they see looks just like the flash mob at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Around 12.4 million people in the region currently face acute food shortages and 3.2 million in Somalia need “immediate lifesaving assistance,” the UN said.
Everything seems to be operating as normal in government. We have plenty of money to give, don’t we?

Sure we do, that is why my 68 yr old hubby can't retire and our health insurance has increased so much to pay for omaba care!

If you see nothing racist about comparing a mob of young black men to Planet of the Apes, then you are either intellectually dishonest, willfully ignorant or incredibly dumb.

Making jokes about slavery, as you did just now, helps paint a fuller picture of the sort of person you are.
