  • MEET YOUR 2010 CANDIDATES: “HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. — A GOP candidate in South Florida says it was a mistake to shoot at a target with a Democratic congresswoman’s initials … Robert Lowry, a Republican vying to replace Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, fired at a full-body silhouette with her initials written next to its head.” It was a joke! [AP]

He made a mistake when he called it a joke.
Then he shot himself in the foot.

“Lowry first told the Sun-Sentinel it was a joke, then that it was a mistake.”

Right both times!

Dead monkey cartoon signifying Obama – joke.
Drawing of watermelons on White House lawn – joke.
Escaped gorilla from zoo compared to Obama relative – joke.
Question on how so many blacks could get to inauguration but not out of New Orleans – joke.

GOP is tolerant – joke.
Very bad joke.

Heh. When I was a good lil’ nascent Republican kid, well indoctrinated by my folks, we had a picture of George McGovern on our dartboard.

I mentioned that to my youngest daughter when we were tossing darts one day, and she asked, “So are we going to put a picture of President Bush up on ours?”

I told her I like to think I’m a little more mature than that nowadays.

Yeehaw! Gonna shoot me my opponent!!!!! Yessuhree!! Great idea, Slim! Fucking Demoncraps!

Great to shoot a silhouette of Jewish, ulp, lady… Um… In South Florida where Northern Bubbies go to retire… Er… Who remember when some folks took target practice on their families… And might have the booby cancer… Oh crap… I think I just shit the bed…

I thought it was okay to shoot liberals. That was the whole theme of that awful Fourth of July Carol movie last summer, wasn’t it? They’re not real people, so it’s okay.

Just another NY Jew in South Florida. Expendable! Why not get some practice in?

Broward County, it’s so wonderful to live here!

bfstevie October 9, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Assault rifles? Pussies! Everyone knows the gold standard for shooting shit at Republican fundraisers is full automatic machine guns.

Why wasn’t this Lowry guy nominated for a Nobel prize?

bureaucrap October 9, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Although he’s pretty hot for someone his age. If he were face down in a pillow, I’d do him.

Extemporanus October 9, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Maybe he just really hates letters.

A little searching on the intertubes and we find out that Newell got it all wrong.

“Upon discharging their weapons, the members that I spoke to not only felt a sense of empowerment and relief of pent up frustration the Socialist Obama administration has instilled in them, but these members have found a new respect for the weapons themselves.”

At least he didn’t jack off on it, as I assumed he would have.

Stay sassy, Florida.

He just had his Macoocoo moment.

Maybe the Right is testing the waters, flirting with the idea of going public with their embracing of the Cthulhu agenda of shouting and killing and revelry and reshaping the earth with flame and a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

Another one bites the dust…

Snarkalicious October 9, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Nothing I can say about hate-fucking in effigy, at least while remaining sincere, will pass the ban-hammer. But you all have such wonderful imaginations and access to craft shops, so I’m sure you can come to your own conclusions about what to bring to the flash mob outside your local RNC office.

Here’s one of the comments from a fine redstate reader:

Funny funny jokers, those republicans. Their humor kills me, also.

“The aims, said club president Ed Napolitano, were to have fun, educate club members who were new to shooting — and send a political message.”

As for receiving the message, rather than sit through all of that shooting and yee-hawing, I would prefer to just rent “The Triumph of the Will”.

Yet another confirmed, certified, and documented case of RMS, or Republican Moron Syndrome. Health officials report dozens of cases today at Republican National Committee offices throughout the country, and at Fox News outlets across the nation. And several dozen confirmed cases were documented in Florida.

Aw hell, I wonder what sort of targets are used at the gun fests Sarah Palin attends. Her people are the original teabaggers–they were far-gone teabaggers even back during the presidential campaign, when the term hadn’t yet been coined!

Darkness October 9, 2009 at 3:34 pm

AND . . . Florida makes a bold move in the ongoing battle with South Carolina and Arizona for the title of most fucked up politicians.

Wasserman Schultz is being treated for breast cancer [true], so these were just his symbolic “magic bullets” wishing for a cure for her.

Send him a voodoo doll with his name on it and a pin through the head. Bless his office with the flaming bag of dogshit a couple times. His sense of humor needs some education.

Um, I’m not a legal expert, but couldn’t some people construe this as, I don’t know, a criminal threat? Just askin’
