At what point is enough, enough? (How far are the racists willing to go?)

Outside the Montana state Republican Party convention this weekend was an outhouse labeled the “Obama Presidential Library” and covered in painted-on bullet holes.

Inside the outhouse contained a fake birth certificate for Barack Hussein Obama, according to the Helena Independent Record.

It was stamped “Bull——.” A graffito advised “For a Good Time call 800-Michelle (crossed out), Hillary (crossed out) and Pelosi (circled in red.)”
State GOP Chairman Will Deschamps said he didn’t know who was responsible for the outhouse but called it a “sideshow,” the paper reported.

“It’s not something I’m going to agonize over,” he said. “Some of that stuff is not real good taste. We do have a president of the United States, and we have to honor that.”

How is anyone supposed to take the GOP seriously when not one of their leaders speak out against this????
These people must be defeated.

ETA - I just called the DNC and left a message for Debbie Wasserman-Schultz asking if she saw this and at what point is someone going to get out there on the major networks and say ENOUGH? And I reminded her that Rinse is out there all the time decrying everything that the President and Democrats say and do.

I have really had it! I feel so f-ing helpless.

2. Who was the mouth-breathing genius that came up with this clever idea?

I bet Beavis and Butthead really love it (cue moronic laughter).

3. Truck towing it seems to be from county 15 if I'm reading it right

which is Great Falls, Montana.

Shouldn't be all that hard for someone with access to the data base to figure out who owns that truck that is hauling the outhouse.

awhile since I"ve been back home....Got it, you are right, it's anywhere from Polson to Lakeside I think (can't remember if Lakeside and Bigfork are included in county seven..) Jeez that's not a huge population we're talking about, should be able to narrow it down to who owns that truck....

P.S. Thank you for the correction!

Unabomber, the cannibal guy, etc. I tell people I'm from Montana and I get, "Oh, you're one of those crazy people..."

As it turns out I am crazy but not because of Montana, really.

They will continue to do it. Until something makes them afraid to do it anymore.

It's not just their leaders. The press is mute and Democratic party "leaders" need to learn how to express outrage just as skillfully as their republican counterparts do.

Just imagine the uproar if some Democratic group had done this during the bush cheney years. That's what our people need to do. They need to scare the press into doing their effing job.

5. Alex (NOW msnbc) showed it during her show - but that is what is missing from our side -

We need a big mouth to go out there on all the networks and start raising hell.
We need a list of all the racist comments and moments like this.

We need someone who is not afraid to stand up against these assholes... because what is sad is it is becoming the norm. It is becoming accepted.

The question is who? Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would be a great place to start. After all Rinse is out there all the time decrying everything President Obama says and does.

The silence is deafening on both sides.

This is what passes for conservative "humor" anymore - some jackass makes a thinly veiled threat like this and then laughs it off like oh it's just a joke. Not so funny when the Secret Service comes and busts your ass is it?
