Say crazy stuff, and people will start to notice. Say that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and should be transferred to the states, and people listen up some more.
Rick Perry’s surge in the GOP race is being fueled by the Tea Party, but everyone else is paying attention as well, and his negatives are starting to go up in polls.
For the GOP, right now he looks like their Howard Dean or their George McGovern.
Governor Christie talks about Superior Court Judge Sohail Mohammed.
If you’re someone who is worried about Sharia law or you’re afraid of all Muslims, please watch this video.
You know a presidential campaign has a problem when they start declaring the candidate’s spouse to be off limits. Michele Bachmann’s campaign seems to be reeling over the attention her husband Marcus Bachmann is getting for his “pray the gay away” therapy, and Mrs. Bachmann is now saying that the topic of her spouse and their business is off limits.
Just as a footnote, in 2008 Bachmann was more than happy to take shots at Michelle Obama.
Herman Cain has generated some buzz in the Tea Party community, but he’s showing that he’s not ready to mount a serious campaign for the presidency. His latest comments offer a good example:
Herman Cain said Sunday that Americans should be able to ban Muslims from building mosques in their communities.
“Our Constitution guarantees the separation of church and state,” Cain said in an interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” “Islam combines church and state. They’re using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their morals in that community, and the people of that community do not like it. They disagree with it.”
Last week, the Republican presidential candidate expressed criticism of a planned mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, telling reporters at a campaign event that “This is just another way to try to gradually sneak Sharia law into our laws, and I absolutely object to that.”
If you’ve graduated from high school, it should be easy for you to recognize the stupidity of these comments given that we have a First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
It’s not uncommon for someone from the business community to generate buzz on the left or the right with common sense criticisms of our government. That’s the easy part. But these businessmen are not disciplined, and many of them are used to being surrounded by people who let them spout off ridiculous statements without any pushback.
So you end up with egomaniacs like Donald Trump spouting off outrageous comments, and then people like Herman Cain who are ignorant about basic policies and constitutional principles.
He might scores some points with the Angry Right, but his candidacy is finished.
Jon Stewart can’t help himself. When he sees Marcus Bachmann, the loony husband of anti-gay crusader and pro-default candidate Michele Bachmann, he’s compelled to make gay jokes. Marcus Bachmann is part of the bizarre “pray the gay away” movement. Unfortunately, we’ve learned over the years that some of the loudest anti-gay voices are in fact . . . . gay!
You have to watch this clip and then the next one where Jerry Seinfeld helps Stewart repress his urge to make gay jokes about Marcus Bachmann. Listen to Marcus Bachmann’s voice. Stewart’s funniest line – “He’s an Izod shirt away from being the gay character on Modern Family.”
