Barack's Christmas with Campaign props

Skeptical Brotha has a wickedly perceptive take on the Obamas' new Christmas ad.

Mitt Can't Handle the Truth

Handle it? He has a hard time identifying it. Romney claimed on Meet the Press that he'd received an endorsement from the NRA during the 2002 gubernatorial race in MA. Turns out he didn't. He's also claimed to "hunt varmints." Turns out he only straps them to the roof of his station wagon on family road trips.

Why do Republicans Hate Animals?

from Corrente via Atrios

1. We’ve got Rick Santorum’s obsession with “man on dog” sex,
   

   we’ve got Bill “Hello Kitty” Frist stealing cats from the pound, treating them like pets, and only then dissecting them,
   

2. we’ve got George Felix Allen “shoving” a severed deer’s head into a mailbox,
   

3. we’ve got Bush himself blowing up frogs by shoving firecrackers up their ass and lighting the fuse,
   

4. we’ve got one Janet Rowland comparing gay marriage to a man marrying a sheep, and of course,
   

5. we’ve got Willard Mitt Romney strapping his dog Seamus on top of his car until a “brown liquid” ran down the back window.

6. And now we’ve got the son of likeable Mike Huckabee, Republican candidate for President, killing a dog using a “particular process” that was, to say the least, not “kind.” Makes you wonder how these guys bring up their kids, doesn’t it?

The little shit hung a stray dog, cut it's throat and threw rocks at it until it died, then claimed they put the animal out of it's misery. This is the same son who was arrested in April for carrying a loaded gun in his carry-on luggage. Sounds like Holy Mike Huckabee spared the rod and ruined the child, or whatever it is you're not supposed to do as a Christian.

If any of these Christian candidates are ever caught emulating Christ, please let me know.
