Some Bible quotations from Leviticus 19 to mash into the faces of the Religious Right hypocrites, Pharisees and scribes follow. Illegal immigration:

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.

34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt...

For those fundamentalist Christians who think they're honoring God by decorating their bodies with elaborate crosses, images of Christ and Bible passages:

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah.

Here's one that just happens to be Jesus's SECOND most important commandment in the Bible; matter of fact, Jesus said it's EASY to love your neighbor, but he expects his followers to love their ENEMIES and pray for them. So just place the name of Osama bin Laden in the following command from Jehovah Himself, and watch their heads explode:

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...

One for Joe Wilson:

11 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

Those welfare-gaming poor brown and black minorities:

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.

10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

Wow, I never knew that old-tyme religion was such a fascist socialist paradise.

ha ha

Anyone who thinks I went too far in profiling Joe Wilson as a racist idiot should read this excellent post by coonsey today.

It seems that Joe Wilson was, as the old canard now goes, FOR health benefits for illegal immigrants before he was AGAINST them.

There is no political or moral depth to which these goddamned fucking liars won't sink. They have no consciences, no clue, no doubt, no hesitation to pronounce any slander they think will help them. And the shelf life of that particular business model is running out, and fast.

By one day.

Considering how much further into danger the Afghanistan and Iraq Invasions put us, according to the National Intelligence Estimate of 2006, it's not really that impressive.

No one brought more death, destruction, debt and demoralization than George W. Bush brought to our nation and the entire world. Especially those brown people.

Via the Daily Kos, from David Neiwert:

Looking into the background of Rep. Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina, after his heckling of President Obama last night, I came across this:

Joe also has been a member of the Columbia World Affairs Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Sinclair Lodge 154, Jamil Temple, Woodmen of the World, Sons of Confederate Veterans, ....

This is an organization that, as the SPLC has detailed assiduously, has been taken over in the past decade by radical neo-Confederates who favor secession and defend slavery as a benign institution...

Joe Wilson, as a state legislator, was one of only seven Republicans to go against their own party and vote to keep the Dixie Rebel flag flying over the South Carolina capitol:

The flag came down that year after Republicans in both houses went for a compromise that would put it on Statehouse grounds at the Confederate Soldier's monument. The "Magnificent Seven" of Senators who voted to keep the flag up included current Congressman Joe Wilson (who I served with in the 218th Infantry Brigade of the National Guard.)

A clearer picture of why this congressman might so virulently breach protocol and loudly interrupt an African-American president's speech to Congress by calling him a liar does start to emerge, doesn't it?

"You lie, nigger!"

Holy shit, I just realized this! Am I the only one to notice?

It's the Mark of the Beast! 999!

Proof once and for all that Obama is the Anti-Christ!

Now, all we need for the prophecy to come true is a should-be-fatal head wound, and a recovery...and the One World Government predicted by the fundie Christians will be ushered in! Rapture, here we come!

And when all those evil judgmental murderous racist uncharitable refusenik fundie Christians find themselves Left Behind...won't THAT be a hoot? Too bad it's a mountain of lies. Might have been a real party, y'all.

And it just keeps on giving, too, not just today. (Must join Twitter to read)

I have no idea if this is real or faked by a very good writer...but every time I click, I'm laughin'!

Gotta show your colors. Gotta prove your patriotism. Gotta prove you're MORE patriotic than those peacenik hippie Democrats.

It's the Republicans' biggest holiday of the year!

Thank you, David Kurtz, for linking to this.

It was only a few weeks ago that we heard John McCain say he would not vote for Sonia Sotomayor because she would legislate from the bench.

When will John McCain up and admit he voted for Bush's SCOTUS nominees who legislate from the bench? Nominees that are doing nothing BUT changing the laws John McCain voted for--and even sponsored and wrote?

To think I ever thought John McCain was an honorable man...only because I read a puff piece about him in The New Yorker in the middle of Bush's Reign of Terror. By comparison, yes, John McCain is an honorable man. Faint praise, indeed.

NOT THE FIRST TIME

Most Americans first heard about Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) last night for his now-infamous "you lie!" outburst.

But it isn't the first time for Wilson. Back in 2003, not long after the death of Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC), Thurmond's bi-racial, out-of-wedlock daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, came forward to say that Thurmond was her father. (Thurmond, who spent most of his career as a staunch proponent of segregation and Jim Crow, had supported the family financially for decades.) Wilson made headlines for telling The State newspaper that Washington-Williams should have kept the shameful secret to herself.

Wilson later had to apologize to Washington-Willaims, Thurmond's family and perhaps implicitly non-awful people everywhere.

You know it. I know it. I'm just saying it out loud.

Like Ms. Washington-Williams.

"You lie, nigger!"

From the man who gave us billboards comparing paraplegic Max Cleland to Saddam and Osama bin Laden. I know it's hard to tell...but no one knows just how big Saxby's heart is.

The term "Nazi Christian" doesn't go quite far enough to describe these monsters.

Oooh. Scary number. Revelations and mark of the beast and all. Looks like tomorrow's the end of the world.

Damn. It always just seems to sneak up on you, every time...well, see you Thursday. In Hell.

The same way Cheney used to do it--tie 'em up and ransack the joint.

Very effective for winning their hearts and minds--for the TALIBAN, that is.

This is an irreplaceable man: A credible and arduous worker, glib and attractive, whose expertise included environmental, inner city and racial issues. I read a good New Yorker article about him not long ago.

Obama really should have talked him out of it.
