Asshole Fuckface Roundup #102

Holy shit there were a lot of Asshole Fuckfaces this week. I almost couldn’t fit all the nominees into my man purse. But, I did. Then I whittled them down to a manageable number and sorted them by color. After that, I lathered them in butter and dried them in the sun. Once dry, I threw them on the roof and the first four that slid back down became this week’s picks. It’s called science and it works very well, so put on your favorite leather lab coat because this is going to be ugly.

First up, some border protecting Asshole Fuckfacery.

This one is epic Asshole Fuckface Hall of Fame material.

Meet Shawna Forde. She’s from Washington State, used to be the executive director of Minutemen American Defense and was named Bush's "operations director" for the Minutemen’s actions along the border. She even hosted an anti-immigrant “Summit” which was attended by Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. Obviously, being a leader of the Minuteman, Shawna is a complete lunatic.

In a May 20 "border report" posted on the Web site of her Minutemen American Defense group, Forde warned readers that soon "you will walk out your door and think you were just transplanted into Mexico."



But that’s just talk. Now we have proof of her lunacy because she entered the home of some brown people and killed them.

Pima County, Ariz., detectives on Friday described Forde leading a plot to finance her Minutemen activities by robbing suspected drug traffickers. She and two others are charged with a fatal May 30 home invasion at a suspected drug trafficker's home in Arivaca, Ariz.

Raul Flores, 29, and his daughter, Brisenia, 9, were killed when a group of armed people, including a woman, forced their way into the home. The child's mother traded gunfire with the attackers. She survived but remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds.



Thanks for protecting us from that 9-year-old girl, Shawna.

The Arivaca robbery was meant to raise money to fuel Forde's group, investigators said.



Right. If you can’t raise money to protect America from donations, go rob and kill a drug dealer and his child.

The killers walked up cold-bloodedly to her daughter, 9-year-old Brisenia Flores, as she cowered and cried, and shot her two or three times anyway.



Well, she was Mexican or the daughter of a bad person or something, so she deserved to die. Please put Shawna and her Asshole Fuckface friend in prison with the Mexican Mafia. Thanks.

Next up, some GOP racist Asshole Fuckfacery.

It’s pretty difficult to go an entire week without stumbling across some delightful Republican racism. See, back in the old days they sent hilarious racist emails to each other and laughed and laughed and laughed. But now they have a huge problem: The president is black. So, when they try to take their fantastic racist jokes and apply them to the president, it brings them a whole bunch of attention. Bummer.

First up, South Carolina GOP official Sherri Goforth posted a hilarious picture up on Facebook. It’s of all the presidents. The last one is a bit weird, though.



Ha ha ha! He’s black! I get it! You can only see black people’s eyes. Because they’re black! Get it! Weeeeee.

When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.



Fucking wrong list. Clearly that was the problem.

Second is South Carolina GOP operative Mike Green. (Good week, South Carolina!) Mike has discovered Twittering, which means he can spread his hilarious racist jokes further.



Ah ha ha ha ha. Get it? Obama is black, so he’s against everything white and good. I love it! But, Mike realized he had made an error.



Totally. Your error being you made your racist comment in public, believing everyone thinks the way you do because all your friends are racist.

Next up, some presidential Asshole Fuckfacery.

Barack Obama took a deep dive into Lake Asshole Fuckface this week with some heinous bullshit. First, Barack and his hoard attacked gay Americans in a way religious zealots would be proud of.

The Obama administration, which came to office promising to protect gay rights but so far has not done much, actually struck a blow for the other side last week. It submitted a disturbing brief in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which is the law that protects the right of states to not recognize same-sex marriages and denies same-sex married couples federal benefits.



Sweet. Nothing like shitting on people who supported you.

In arguing that other states do not have to recognize same-sex marriages under the Constitution’s “full faith and credit” clause, the Justice Department cites decades-old cases ruling that states do not have to recognize marriages between cousins or an uncle and a niece.



Oh, good, you compared gay marriage to incest. Nice work, Obama peeps. I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was probably not a good idea to have a Mormon, who was hired by Bush, to write the brief, especially considering it was not even necessary. But, hey, it’s working out well, because the gay community is furious and bailing in droves. (Pssst, you're supposed to be on their side)

Good work, all around.

Next up, more presidential Asshole Fuckfacery.

Obama is having one hell of a week. First his crew spit in the face of gays and then he went and pulled a big, fat Bush.

The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn't have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions.



Now, that is the transparency we were looking for.

Despite President Barack Obama's pledge to introduce a new era of transparency to Washington, and despite two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public, the Secret Service has denied msnbc.com's request for the names of all White House visitors from Jan. 20 to the present.



Yes, let’s ignore the TWO RULINGS by the courts and go on about our merry way because we didn’t have enough presidents ignoring the law over the past eight years. But, hey, he did warn us he was into this kind of stuff.

When big oil companies are invited into the White House for secret energy meetings, it’s no wonder they end up with billions in tax breaks.



Hell yeah!

That is why on my very first day as President, I will launch the most sweeping ethics reform in history to make the White House the people's house and send the Washington lobbyists back to K Street.



You tell 'em!

This change will not be easy. It will require reforming our politics by taking power away from the lobbyists who kill good ideas and good plans with secret meetings and campaign checks.



Whatever it takes to win, eh, liar?

This was possibly the most horribly written article I've read in a while.

I can't wait for the entry of a third party into the election process on a level sufficient enough to actual scare the other two farces known as Democrats and Republicans. Go Libertarian! Or Constitutional party. Either one is fine with me compared to the fucking idiots you people are letting run the country into the ground.



Agreed. I'm surprised someone actually printed this with all the factual errors, mindless swearing, and the argument ad hominems instead of facts and logic.

And also agreed. I'm sick of both the Republicans and the Democrats. They're both idiots. Democrats want to ban this and raise these taxes to pay for those other whacked ideals, while Republicans want to ban that and raise those other taxes to pay for those other whacked ideals.

Sorry folks. They both suck. As a guy who works hard, I'd like to keep my money and my Freedoms. Vote 3rd Party. Libertarians aren't too bad. They're pretty consistently against banning your fun or taking more of your paycheck.

Oh, and show me the data that a processed chicken patty on a white bun is GOOD for you. Really. And iceburg lettuce does not count as a vegetable. It just doesn't.



No need to show the data for individual items. School lunch standards are highly regulated. If the schools want money, they have to abide by the regulations and keep strict records that they do so. (See National School Lunch Program regulations [pdf]; you want section 210.10, starts on page 16 [electronic pages, not those printed in the document itself]).

It's actually kind of an interesting read. Did you know that in one approach menus have to be scientifically analyzed for nutritional content, the information is put in the Child Nutrition Database, and that they have standardized recipes and the whole bit?

And chicken patties do, actually, meet the nutritional requirements for protein, fat, calories, etc. when averaged over a week.

I don't recall them ever using iceberg lettuce as a vegetable at my school. There was always a real vegetable. Green beans, carrots, broccoli. Something awful.

As for juice having sugar: yes, it does. It also has vitamins. I don't care too much about sugar by itself, but I think HFCS is more detrimental than plain fructose, and don't get me started on Aspartame.



But the main uproar over HFCS is its fructose content! It doesn't matter if you get 29 g of fructose from juice, or 29 g of fructose from the HFCS in soda.

Do you mean you think it's more detrimental than plain sucrose (i.e., table sugar)?

And most juices have a vitamin: C. Sometimes some potassium, but otherwise more or less devoid of nutritional content. If you want vitamins and minerals, you should really eat the fruit itself.
