There is the ‘fuck you if you want a nuclear free Iran’ side.

Yep. 54% of Republicans believe ‘deep down’ Obama is a Muslim

Sure, if by “Dark Side” you mean the entire GOP at this point.

I’d have to agree, then!

I am glad Lindsey Graham recognizes the pot-meet-kettle kinship.

The real story here is that Graham actually thinks there’s somehow another side to the Republican party. Is there a subset of the GOP that doesn’t represent the lowest common denominator in our society? It seems like that would be kind of hard to find within a party built around catering to assholes, bigots, racists and the true believers of bullshit trickle-down nonsense.

Just dealt with a close relative and she doesn’t accept the birth certificate and can name nothing that would actually prove Obama’s citizenship. These “true” believers are in complete denial with any objective reality.

Sounds like theists.

I love the way Lindsey complains about the “dark” side of the GOP…

…as though he regards himself as some sort of Eisenhoweresque moderate.

Yeah… the most clever ploy was planting the birth announcements in the Honolulu papers in 1961. The conspiracy was ready the very week of his birth! We’re through the looking glass here, people…

(Of course, as they will never grasp, it wouldn’t matter a damn if he HAD been born in Kenya. His mother was an American citizen, and therefore so was he, constitutionally. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. But this has never been about the Constitution… it’s always been about the deep belief of the GOP base that brown people are a dangerous Other and cannot really be American.)

I find it quite amusing, Lindsey, you closeted, hypocritical motherfucker, that you never stood up and castigated Trump or every other GOPer and their crazy-ass Teabagger mothers when they were basically wanting to burn Obama at the stake for being a Muslim Socialist Dictator from Kenya. Funny how that works, ain’t it, Lindsey? Oh, and to quote Eric Cartman, “Suck my balls!”

GOPers made that bed…

Wait. There is a BRIGHT side to the GOP?! Would that be the ones who think Obama is not Muslim and was not born in Kenya…but might as well be because he is a terrorist?

Yes he’s appealing to “dark side” of the Republicans. Check out the poll numbers Linsday, and then get back to me on just what that means. It’s YOUR party Lindsay … all YOURS.

Republicans are basically the “I’ve got mine, fuck you.” party.

And let’s not forget the dark side of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who are encreasingly getting on board to endorse Trump.

It would need more than two arms.

And a built-in bib to catch all the Neanderthal drool.

You could travel back in time with them, make them stand in the delivery room at the time of Obamas birth, in Hawaii, and then have Jesus Christ Himself return to Earth wearing an “Obama was born on U.S. soil” t-shirt and they still wouldn’t believe it.

I have a relative (not related by blood thank God!) who claimed she knew Obama was a Muslim because he refused to take a photo with the Israeli PM. I pulled out my iPad and showed her a Google image search result showing dozens of images of Obama meeting with Netanyahu.

Her response?

“No. No, those are all fake”.

Exactly - My only response to this headline is “Where have your been? Senator Graham, you never called out the crazy side of your party when you could have, so enjoy!”
