Turns out Democrats can be just as horrible, hateful people as our GOP friends. This week Democrats in a couple of primaries took the low road with ugly religious and gay attacks. It’s really sweet to see the supposed liberal party go to depths many Republicans would not.

First came Democrat Nikki Tinker, who is running against Democratic Representative Steven Cohen for Tennessee’s 9th district seat. The election is today and Nikki is apparently down in polling, so she took the lowest road possible. It’s a road Hitler would have been proud of. Her latest ad is far from subtle.

Yeah, what is that Jew doing in your churches? And how dare that Jew uphold the Constitution of the United States by voting against prayer in schools. I wish I could show you the ad, but Tinker pulled it from You Tube due to complaints.

This isn’t the first time Cohen’s religion has come into the race. Over the past few months, black ministers have passed out these fliers:



Nikki Tinker has refused to denounce the fliers. The black ministers began to circulate them because of Cohen’s support for federal hate crimes legislation to protect gay rights. Go Democrats!

Oh, and don’t forget about Cohen’s KKK connections.



That’s about as low as it gets - and it's coming from a Democrat. Meanwhile, Cohen is a freshman Congressman who sounds like a decent legistator.

But he’s not black and he’s a Jew and Nikki Tinker is making sure everyone in the district knows. Hopefully she loses the election today.

Some equally vile conduct is occurring in Kansas, home of ignorance. Gail Finney, a marketing consultant and vice-chairwoman of the local Democratic Party, was in trouble going into the final days of the primary for the state's 84th District House seat. But yesterday, she defeated Inga Taylor, a black lesbian, by using the classic GOP “here comes the gay agenda” attacks in the final days of the campaign.

Using a “coordinated mail, e-mail and phone campaign,” Finney was able to swing voters and win easily. Here’s a sample of an email that went out.

Oh, my God no. They might change the name to Lesbichita.

The Victory Fund realized how serious the anti-gay attacks were on Tuesday and asked Kansas governor and serious vice president contender, Kathleen Sebelius, to denounce Finney’s tactics. Sebelius did nothing. If there's one thing you can always count on from Democrats, it's that they will run away from their beliefs during election time.

Go Democratic Party! Feel the pride.

Awful human being Bill O’Reilly claimed on Friday that a Kansas doctor was performing late term abortions because patients were depressed. O’Reilly called it “executing babies.” The douche bag host claimed he was in the possession of information from abortion patient’s records. On Monday after concern was raised about how O’Reilly came by his information, the asshole said he got it “somewhere along the line.”

Right on, fuck face, stick to your guns. The rest of us will put the obvious pieces together. Attorney General Phil Kline was granted possession of 90 medical records from two clinics on October 24th after a long legal battle. Kline claims he needed the records "as part of his investigation into alleged cases of child rape, failure to report child rape and violations of state's late-term abortion statue." O'Reilly just happened to get the same information a few days later.

On his website he assures women of his righteous intentions:

Now the abortion clinics targeted by Kline are asking the Kansas Supreme Court to investigate Kline and supreme shithole O’Reilly. Clinic attorneys want the court to appoint a special prosecutor to find out whether O'Reilly's information came from the records turned over to Kline. Or is it just another incredible coincidence?

In his book "What's the Matter with Kansas?" Thomas Frank asks the question of how a state that had previously been associated with union activism and progressive politics had become so incredible conservative, with the nadir arriving in 1999 when the state school board voted to remove mandatory teaching of evolution from the academic curriculum, allowing local districts to decide for themselves whether their high school students should study creationism or science. It was a sad day for many in the scientific community, who saw this as the beginning of the end for the era of rationalism that had, with fits and starts, propelled the Western world into the modern era since the Enlightenment. Several years later things seemed to only be getting worse, as a 6-4 majority voted for mandatory criticisms of Darwinian evolution to be taught in schools, a move many considered to be a precursor to mandating creationism in the classroom.

Things may be finally looking up for Kansas though. With its school board having become a lightning rod for negative publicity and a major source of embarrassment as devotees of the flying spaghetti monster, comedians and politicians made the state the butt of their jokes, a school board election may have turned things around.

It's about damned time. Maybe I'm a hopeless optimist, but I like to think that the citizens of Kansas were just caught off guard by these bible-thumping Luddites who would like to drag us all back to the great chain of being and probably ban Islam and Judaism along the way. Regardless, the voters have spoken, some of the idiots have been tossed, and hopefully Kansas students will no longer have to endure being the object of ridicule as they "poke holes" in a scientific theory that is beyond dispute by the scientific establishment, despite the misconceptions still held on it by the general American public. Score one for the good guys.
