Well, the election is over and the GOP has been in utter chaos ever since. I was thinking that maybe the vitriol towards the President would lessen but, sadly, I was wrong. I took a couple months off just to re-prioritize and get all the hate out of my head for a short time. I was hoping for a much longer break but, alas, the media demands that I get back to recording the underbelly of today's Grand Ole Party. Well, let's get to it.
Todd Kincannon, former Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party, kicks off 2013 with some of his world-class Twitter humor.
First, we'll go ahead and assume that Ravens fans now hate him. Let's see... Who else might? Maybe Trayvon's parents (who are mourning his loss on what would have been his 18th birthday today) and just about any parent who has ever lost a child. To bag on a dead kid is about as low as it gets... Especially when the insult is dripping with racism.
However, it turns out he's NOT a racist after all!
See? It's all better everyone. It was just a tasteless joke but certainly not racist! Case closed. Wait... You're still talking?
Oooooh damn. How deep are you going to dig this hole, Todd? Any other dead people's graves that you want to defecate on while you try to prove you're not a bigot?
Oh I see. That clears it all up. Problem solved! Todd is NOT racist. Why? Because he hates Americans from north of the Mason-Dixon line more than he hates dead black kids.
What the hell is this all about? Why would a prominent member of the South Carolina GOP go on a crazed Twitter rant like this? Is he an idiot? Is he stupid?
Nope. He's no idiot. He's the smartest (and most humble) guy we'll never have the privilege of meeting or hearing from again. Even self-proclaimed genius Republicans can't help but being racist, insensitive fools sometimes. When are all of the "good, honest Republicans" that I keep hearing about going to stand up to idiots like this and stop being victims of the guilt-by-association that harboring fools like Kincannon in their party creates?
Todd Kincannon is currently the Chairman of the Simpsonville Election Commission of Simpsonville, South Carolina.
