Posted by Senator Kevin Bryant on his blog at www.kevinbryant.com
His response for putting up this hate-fueled picture is even more appalling than the picture itself:
“It was meant tongue in cheek. I’ve got some questions about Senator Obama’s ties to — such as his comment that we should negotiate with Iran. Iran’s a country that would like to destroy Israel, that bothers me. But is this picture appropriate? I don’t know.”
“You know, blogs are for satire and whatnot and, um, that’s why it’s up. It’s similar to the New Yorker picture. Maybe that’s why this has gotten so much attention, because of that thing that came out a couple days ago.”
Do Republicans not see that this sort of fear-mongering will backfire in the fall?

Repugnicans think fear is the answer to all their problems in politics. A great man once said "we have nothing to fear but fear itself" Another great man said " It is not what your country can do for you , but what you can do for your country". What we need to do for our country is show these people that fear is not a tool. I personally fear no man or country, I do however fear the spread of ignorance about the fascist takeover that has happened in America. Sheeple are still saying stupid things like , "my daddy was a republican,his daddy was a republican , so I am a republican." This is the very ignorance the party is preying on. They hear " I'm a conservative , family values candidate." and that is all they want to hear. Never mind that this same conservative F.V. candidate has voted for corporate control and prison military complex. First thing to be cut because of high gas is education, state police being pulled off the streets. When a politician hands over hundreds of millions to mercenary armies, noone seems to want to hear about it. He supports our troops. Yet , noone asks why 6000 Iraq war veterans came home in 2005 and committed suicide. If people need something to fear, they need to fear Republicans and the hate agenda that has transformed a great democracy into a Fascist police state.
