The Height of GOP Stupidity, Part Sixteen: Wingnuttery On Display

I don't wanna sound completely biased, but we are all used to seeing, and hearing, GOP members do, and say, the most idiotic things. I mean, it kinda seems like it's their "thing".

And let's talk about a couple of GOP wacknuts.

Rivard

One in particular, is Wisconsin Freshman Congressman Roger Rivard, who lost the endorsement of GOP Hound- and Lap-dog, and Vice President of Lies, Paul Ryan, when Rivard claimed that, ahem, "[S]ome girls rape easy."

Oh, but he did.

Then he tried to clarify his remarks with this: "[My father] also told me one thing: 'If you do [have premarital sex], just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape in an awful hurry.'"

Then, as the rational part of his own party, both of them, and the remainder of the country started to go Akin on his ass, Rivard released another clarification, calling rape a "horrible act of violence." 

Huh. You don't say. Of course, is this really a surprise from the GOP which features members saying women's bodies have the supernatural ability to fend off a rapist’s sperm so they can't get pregnant, or, that there are several different "kinds" of rape, from the Paul Ryan "forcible" rape to, well, I guess the "She was asking for it" kind of rape.

Dumbbell

But, since we're talking GOP asshats, and Paul Ryan, let's revisit a little quote of Paulie's from a few days back.

When asked whether this country has a gun problem, Ryan responded like this:

"The best thing to help prevent violent crime in the inner cities is to bring opportunity in the inner cities. Is to help teach people good discipline, good character." 

Funny, Mister Limited Government, suddenly wants the government to get into the "character building" business, though, only in the inner cities, because good folks in the country have all the character they need.

The GOP, still crazy after all these years.

My apologies to Paul Simon.
