Who Are The Real "Retards"?
From a press release issued by the Traditional Values Coalition:
"Democrats in a race for a state House seat in District 82, are circulating a flyer that shows a child with disabilities with President Bush’s face running in a track race. The headline says:
“Voting for Bush Is Like Running In The Special Olympics: Even If You Win, You’re Still Retarded.”
"The flyer is being distributed by Democrat Craig Fitzhugh. His opponent, Dave Dahl has issued a call to Fitzhugh to stop distributing the flyer. According to Dahl, 'Hard-ball politics is one thing and everyone expects tough battles, but using those who are born with mental disabilities for political fodder is disgusting.' Dahl says the flyers have been distributed for at least two weeks from Fitzhugh’s campaign office in Ripley, Tennessee. It also serves as the Kerry-Edwards headquarters. [Well, OF COURSE it does...] 'At first, I really did not believe that Fitzhugh and the Democrats would stoop to such gutter politics, but then people started bringing the flyer to me at the end of last week. I was shocked and disgusted.'
“''This kind of reckless disregard for those who suffer from mental disabilities is much larger than any state representative race. This act is so atrocious and indecent that my campaign will be sending a copy of the Fitzhugh flyer to the United States Special Olympics Committee, the Special Olympics International Group and state and national advocacy groups who work with and support special needs children and adults.'
"This most recent attack on Republicans as mentally handicapped is not new. On October 28, 1994, while in Virginia, then-Vice President Al Gore attacked Oliver North's Senate bid supporters as "the extreme right wing, the extra chromosome right wing." Advocates for those with Down's Syndrome, caused by an extra chromosome, were outraged."
Parents may want to avert their kids' eyes from the screen before continuing. Counting down from five...four...three...two...one...mark - you have been warned.
To "Mr." Fitzhugh I say this, as both a Republican and Bush supporter, in a language that I know he'll understand:
Bleep you, "Mr." Fitzhugh, and everybody that thinks like you. Repeatedly. With big rubber dicks adorned with staples, thumb tacks, barbed wire, nails, metal spikes, and abrasive epidermal irritants designed to make you itch in places you can't reach and in any other circumstances wouldn't want to. And then follow that up with a sideways pinecone douche for that fresh, outdoor, pine-scented feeling that cannot conceal the true dog crap stench that wafts up overpoweringly from the depths of your black, flinty soul.
Aaaah. As the man said when he stepped out of the honeybucket, "I feel five pounds lighter."
