Posted by Bob Lord I found this post regarding military spending at Truthdig.com yesterday http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/monopolizing_war_what_america_knows_how_to_do_best_20120913/ It points out how stunning (and depressing) our discourse in this area is. Romney is out there beating the drum for increased military spending, and that's the focal point of the debate. If sanity were to prevail, the debate would … Read more
The troubling Tyler Mott
September 14, 2012
Posted by AzBlueMeanie:
You may recall that a few weeks ago, Teabagger Tyler Mott was caught using eliminationist rhetoric against the president:
After the president’s decision last year to review, and in most cases stop, deportations of illegal immigrants without prior criminal histories, Mott took to his Facebook page to call for Obama’s head, as well as the head of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
His full post read: “Who the hell does Obama think that he is? His job is to enforce the law. He doesn’t get to arbitrarily decide not to deport people who have been ordered deported. If Obama wants the job of making the law, he needs to back to running for Congress. Or if he wants the job of interpreting the Constitution, then he needs to get appointed to the Supreme Court. Obama and Napolitano should both be hung for treason!”
Mott wanted to lynch an African-American president. He later explained that he was "just joking." Word of advice: African-Americans do not find lynching funny in any context, Mr. Mott.
Tedski at R-Cubed has a few more classic comments from Tyler Mott, the Chair of the Pima County Young Republicans, who has a penchant for shooting off his mouth on social media sites. People Not Politics:
I laughed a bit when I saw that State Senate Candidate Tyler Mott had the slogan “People Not Politics” emblazoned on his signs, as if to imply that he’ll set politics aside to get to that near-mythic “common good that we all agree on.” Yes, because he’s non-partisan or post-partisan or something…and civil…yes…civil discourse. Very important.
If you don’t know, they are a group of RINOs – Republicans-In-Name-Only’s – who want to destroy America. Some of the members of that group are worse than others. Almost all of their members are worse than Democrats. They are not the only RINOs in Congress, but they are the ones who are most open and happiest about being RINOs. McCain, of course, is a member. And so is that f*ing bastard Jim Kolbe. My only hope is that Kolbe goes to jail sometime soon and becomes someone’s you-know-what. I know that he always hit on the 18 year-old incoming freshmen guys in the UA College Republicans, but I’d be surprised if a sick freak like him actually has any lines that he wouldn’t cross.
That’s from Mott’s MySpace blog. Yep, it’s still up. You can find all sorts of fun stuff, like the tyranny of traffic cops and his dislike of Bond films that he regards as “homoerotic.”
In fact, Mott's MySpace blog was a veritable goldmine of crazy quotes. It looks like he has taken down the blog, but not before it was captured. Doh! Here is one of my personal favorites:

We really have no hope anymore and need to overthrow the government now in favor of an oligarchy of elites. Americans are far, far too stupid to be allowed to vote ever again on anything after Ryan Seacrest mentioned a sad truth about the dumbass "American Idol" Finale. More than 63 million votes were cast, more than any president in the history of our country has received, Seacrest said. Americans are dumb, dumb pieces of ….!
Well there you have it, Tyler Mott thinks you are all too stupid to be allowed to vote and he loves him some of that Tea-Publican authoritarian oligarchy — "Charles Koch for you on line one, Mr. Mott."
