Still wiping the spit coffee off my monitor from the HRC bait. Unfair on a Monday morning, Caitlin…

That being said, glad to see how well Ex-Senator Kirk helped out in getting Senator Duckworth elected.

Hillary Rodham Clinton endorsed Kirk? Seriously? /s

So glad to see I’m not the only one who almost lost their **** over the “HRC” stunt. Well played, troll editor. Well played.

No one cares the Human Rights Campaign endorsed Kirk. The backlash they received from gay folks in Illinois and all over the county illustrates how weak they are. This just gave them an excuse to withdraw and save face.

They had no business endorsing him in the first place. Demonstrating once again the futility of attempting to look issue driven and non-partisan.

Her mother is Thai-Chinese and her father is a U.S. Marine whose family served the the U.S. military going back decades.

Dear Ms MacNeal,

Despite the fact that many organizations have reported that Tammy Duckworth’s father was a Marine, he was in fact a veteran of the US Army. And the correct tense is “was”; he died in 2005.

In the interest of the mythical “accuracy in reporting”, you might want to pass this information around the TPM editorial room.

Thank you.

P.S.: The HRC trick was pretty shabby.

This is just another face of the GOP. The party of very low life’s and I’m talking about the leadership. I’ve never seen a party so devoid of morals, integrity, and intestinal fortitude.

SHIT Endorses Ted Cruz for Reelection
The Sam Houston Institute of Technology today endorsed Ted Cruz in his campaign for reelection to the Senate. SHIT said, “Cruz embodies the values of our state and we are proud to add our voice to all those clamoring for Cruz. SHIT is for Cruz, and Cruz is for SHIT.”

Federation of Urologists of Central Kansas wants in on the action. “Proudly, FUCK (is with) Ted Cruz.”

That was my take as well until I read the article, headline fail.

Headline fail or no, that’s why I won’t sign up for Prime.

“HRC” in the headline is a bit misleading. Was something more accurate like, “Human Rights group pulls Kirk Endorsement” too many letters?

LOL. I love it. I get deep satisfaction out saying “fuck.” It’s the boy in me. :wink:

But if you called it a “Human Rights group” you’d also be inaccurate. It’s a political-influence group that happens to have some human-rights components to its agenda.

It was so long ago, I can’t remember the legislation, but there was a bill circulating around Congress that was initially titled in such a way that the acronym was TITS.

Someone clearly didn’t think that through. I don’t know if it was passed, but the acronym was eventually changed.
