Getting Ready for Winter: Republican Snow Art

>


by Noah

You almost have to feel sorry for the Teabag element. Winter is upon us. With no big outdoor hatefests to attend, how are Republicans going to express themselves, especially during the holiday season of love and light? The answer came with the northern tier’s first big snowstorm: Snow art! How better for a Republican to express their feelings and beliefs than to build a Grand Wizard Snowman just like some cretin in Hayden, Idaho, did ("KKK Snowman Spreads Holiday Hate in Hayden"). I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, indeed!

The artist in this case goes by the name of Mark. He doesn’t use a surname, so I’ll just give him a descriptive last name and call him Mark A. While he is dealing with the ire of some of his neighbors, Mark A., who lives 100 yards from an elementary school, is also refudiating claims that he passed out bullets for Halloween. I guess that, even for Idaho, this behavior was going a little beyond the pale. This whole thing is a perfect storm of mother nature and teabag nature. The truly creative can even accessorize their KKK lawn dude with a noose like the creator of this magnificent bit of art did. Lighting a fire and burning a cross might be a bit problematical, though.

If you go to the link I provided, you’ll see some very special comments. My favorite might have to be one from a person named “Noogie” who, true enough says, "“This guy has a right to offend you.” Then he proceeds to blame the messenger and say so much more:
“And why doesn’t the paper have anything better to do than stir the pot? They are the real culprit here, magnifying it. So many of you have turned Marxist you don’t know the value of truth anymore. What about La Raza? The NAACP? Standard hypocrisy. When whites express ethnic solidarity its “hate”. When blacks or hsipos do its “Advocacy”. Please go back to your socialist hell.”

Now that’s commentary! Priceless! Man, if this clown ever saw this post… Well, I guess we should be happy that this genius could tear himself away from watching Fox long enough to channel Glenn Beck and enlighten us all. I had no idea that the NAACP was equal to the KKK. Really? Do they hang people and burn crosses, too?

I’ve been waiting for Rush Limbaugh to launch into a tirade about this just as he did last week when he found a Smithsonian art exhibit objectionable, but, I have waited in vain. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a KKK snowman doesn’t bother him. In fact, he probably wants to market some in a snowglobe. Meanwhile, I suspect that Sean Hannity and his buddy Hal Turner are praying for snow right this minute. This thing could lead to Teabagger ice-sculpture festivals in no time. Meanwhile, I’ll be making a John Boehner snowman as soon as possible. I think I know how to get the color just right.

This nutcase has a friend here in Vermont, apparently. There is a wacko living up on the hillside in Starksboro that has all the Ku Klux Klan decorations out by the side of the road, including a rope, hate slogans, and much, much more. But, bless his soul, he has a right to his opinion, which makes his neighbors wriggle with discomfiture. Me? I'd run him out of town on a rail! Thanks for writing your story and posting the picture....

There are nutcases everywhere, sadly. However, I agree, if you hadn't posted this picture, I would have found it hard to imagine such a thing. Makes a winter wonderland a whole other thing.
