Worlds Worst: Mindless GOP Wingnuts Edition

Great lineup from Wednesday's Worst Person.

Bronze goes to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly from seeking to implement the incredibly draconian "Operation Sentinel," which aims to track every single vehicle entering the island of Manhattan.

Silver goes to World Class wingnut Rep. Michelle Bachman for spouting some of her "we don't need Pelosi to save the planet because Jesus already did" nonsense.

And, finally, gold goes to aspiring wingnut Ed Tinsley, who's running for Congress in NM, for abandoning all shame and asking his opponent why he wants to kill his two nephews.

At a debate with the Democratic nominee, Tinsley has two nephews serving in Iraq. He spoke of them. Quote, how could I call my two nephews over there right now and tell them I‘m running against a guy that will cut your throat, that will cut the bottom out of your funding?

I don‘t know, Mr Tinsley, maybe the same way you can talk about how you could conjure up the image of your own kin getting their throats cut just to score points in a political campaign. To its credit, the crowd booed so vigorously the rest of Mr. Tinsley‘s exploitation of his nephews could not be heard.

Transcript below the fold.

But first time for COUNTDOWN‘s number two story, tonight‘s worst persons in the world, not including Rush Limbaugh.

The bronze to Commissioner Ray Kelly in the New York Police Department, announcing plans to heighten security around the rebuilt World Trade Center when it opens presumably in 2010. There would be only five entrances to the entire area. Drivers and pedestrians would have to pass through armed check points. Buses and trucks would have to go to an underground bomb screening area. And every vehicle entering Manhattan and its license plate would be photographed. But it‘s not an over-reaction and it won‘t hamper the area returning to, quote, normal.

Commissioner, Mayor Bloomberg, I know you guys intend the best here, but I‘m sorry, if you go through with this Draconian plan, that will mean that the tip of the Island of Manhattan, anyway, there the terrorists will have won.

The silver, the elected representative you‘d least like to be the lawyer for at a sanity hearing, Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, who represents a district evidently populated by the inattentive in Minnesota. She did an interview with a right-wing religious website about the Republicans‘ gimmick to demand a vote on their gimmick to increase offshore oil drilling, so it can drop the price of gas ten years from now maybe. Nancy Pelosi, says Congresswoman Bachman, is, quote, committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has just said, she‘s just trying to save the planet. We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago. They saved the planet. We didn‘t need Nancy Pelosi to do that.

I don‘t know who you mean, Congresswoman. I would guess that you‘re talking about Jesus. But since you act like you think you‘re Jesus, I‘m just assuming you‘re referring to somebody else.

Our winner tonight, Ed Tinsley, the Republican nominee for New Mexico‘s second congressional district. At a debate with the Democratic nominee, Tinsley has two nephews serving in Iraq. He spoke of them. Quote, how could I call my two nephews over there right now and tell them I‘m running against a guy that will cut your throat, that will cut the bottom out of your funding?

I don‘t know, Mr Tinsley, maybe the same way you can talk about how you could conjure up the image of your own kin getting their throats cut just to score points in a political campaign. To its credit, the crowd booed so vigorously the rest of Mr. Tinsley‘s exploitation of his nephews could not be heard. Ed Tinsley, Republican Congressional nominee in the second district of New Mexico, today‘s worst person in the world!

Wingnuts Wingnuts everywhere---

The Iowa Democratic Party released a new addition to their "McCain vs Iowa" website today.

This video is pretty damn funny... and it hits McCain on his crappy health care plan.

Hilarious quote from the video, "Shaq challenged ME!"

Rep. Michelle Bachman - Wasn't she responsible for saying that the teenage pregnancy rate falls at age 25?

a puma is another word for a cougar or mountain lion, I believe.

Go Harry Teague!! Teague for New Mexico District 2 Representative.

Tinsley is a multi-millionaire rancher who ranches part time in District 2. His REAL HOME is in Santa Fe, not in District 2.

Terrible people, these wingnuts.

How do you bet $1,000: Obama vs. McCain: ?

Not what you wish, think, or hope. How do you bet?

I don't like either, particularly, but definitely lean Obama.

But as a bet -- I don't know.

Let's think about this logically. If terrorism from Islamic fascists was a reality, why are there almost NO one being caught and convicted of that. Or why do we have ships almost completely unchecked, illegals flooding into the country, little or no more security (at nuclear plants, water treatment facilities, dams, etc.), and unnecessary conflicts all over the globe.

On the other hand if terrorism and 911 was orchestrated by the shadow government, would we have license plate cameras, National IDs, domestic wiretapping, harassment from LAW ENFORCERS (at the border, in the airport, at the beach, all over the highways), complete shredding of the bill of right, mens rea, habeas corpus, private mercenary armies, so-callled non-lethal weapons (which kill many people) being used indiscriminately, free speech zones, etc.

Or if you only care about the law breaking directed at liberals, what about the rampant voter fraud, rigged machines, false prosecutions of Democrat officials, replacement of good people with corrupt partisan sycophants (in the pentagon, CIA, FBI, US attorneys, district court judges, entire INjustice department, most federal department heads, etc.).

It is finally time for everyone to realize we don't have much more time to keep worrying about who said what about Obama or Clinton or Edwards, and start worrying about the country we are leaving to our children. There is a North American Union coming, then a New World Order (One world government). Just as the plan to track ALL drivers in Manhattan is already in place but they are just deciding to tell you about it.

The NAU and NWO are well on their way to becoming a reality, don't let the headline a year or 2 from now be 'North American Union started today, get your RFIDs, trade in your gold/dollars for Ameros, and if you don't like it we will be sending a Blackwater enforcer down to take you to your new FEMA/Halliburton concentration camp for reeducation'.

PUMAs are people who understand what a fraud Barry Soretoro is, that he is a Indonesian Muslim who has hidden that information. But rest assured that McCain and his crowd know it, unlike many of you folks who live in a world of hurt.

man-o-man, this demonstrates that every GOP congressional candidate in NM this year is a certified nutjob. dems are going to sweep the state this year.

Say goodbye to Tinsey's hopes. That Dem just got himself an easy seat.
Now if we can only encourage a few other Repubs to verbally ruin themselves in such a manner...

I've just about given up. I'll bet polls in NM are showing a tight race, and Tinsley will probably win in the end. Bachman will continue to represent Minnesota in congress for years to come (don't be fooled; Minn. is a deep red state). The "press" will continue to prop up defectives like these, and there will continue to be enough Americans who are stupid enough (and mean-spirited enough) to keep voting them into office. I don't see any way out of this destructive cycle anymore.
