You Ain't Gonna Believe This Shit

Last week this asshole Republican Congressman Todd Tiahrt stood on the floor of the house and insinuated that President Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas, both black men and the only people he referred to, might have been aborted had there been tax payer funded abortions available to their mothers when they were concieved. It was a fucked up and reprehensible thing for anybody to say let alone a sitting Congressman.

Now you might think that the GOP establishment would try to distance themselves from Tiahart's remarks if not condemn them outright.

And you would be wrong.

Greg Sargent reports that the YouTube clip of Tiahrt giving the speech has now been posted up on the official GOP blog. But Sargent throws in this caveat.

Not to go too far out on a limb, but maybe this means the House GOP doesn’t see any need to distance itself from the remarks…

The only problem with that is evidently there was an addition made to the blog entry after Greg linked to it.

Tapper reported Rep. Todd Tiahrt's (KS) response to that possibility:

...if you think of it in human terms, there is a financial incentive that will be put in place, paid for by tax dollars, that will encourage women who are single parents, living below the poverty level, to have the opportunity for a free abortion. If you take that scenario and apply it to many of the great minds we have today, who would we have been deprived of? Our president grew up in those similar circumstances. If that financial incentive was in place, is it possible that his mother may have taken advantage of it?

You see you don't have to go out on a limb at all. They provided the whole fucking tree!!!

Please if you don't do anything else send the link to the GOP post around to your friends and family and especially friends of yours who are of color, and especially any who lean Republican.

I am just sick and tired of them getting away with this kind of bullshit. And for once I am even also pissed off for Clarence Thomas as well. As if only black women or single white women carrying the child of a black man would ever consider abortion. Sorry muthafucka, let me stop here before I blow a damn gasket!
