Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Bob Marshall, a Republican state legislator from Virginia, said at a press conference that disabled children are God's punishment against women who have aborted their first pregnancy. "The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically," he said at a press conference opposing Planned Parenthood. "Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children. In the Old Testament, the first born of every being, animal and man, was dedicated to the Lord. There's a special punishment Christians would suggest."

Bob Marshall; idiot.

Plus all those earthquakes and hurricanes.

How disgusting to give a child already having to deal with a disability the insult of being referred to as "God's punishment."

So which kid did Palin abort?

disabled children are God's punishment

Satire, right?

No?

Just plain, old fashioned ignorance on the part of the right?

Fucking retards.

Be Well.

Lovely words to pass on not only to the child -- as Chris notes above -- but to the parents.

By the way, this cretin Bob Marshall ran for the US Senate seat John Warner vacated and lost in the Republican primary to Jim Gilmore by only 65 votes.

Marshall now disputes that what he said is what he said:

"I don't believe that disabled kids are God's punishments, period, end of discussion," said Marshall. "I have defended disabled kids. I was almost kicked out of the Republican caucus because I forced a vote on a bill, because autism parents did not get a vote in a subcommittee."

Marshall insisted that his comments had been taken out of context. (Here's the exact quote, which I read to him, and he said sounded accurate: "The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born of any, nature takes its vengeance on the subsequent children.") However, he said, he was discussing an increased rate of birth defects, not all birth defects in and of themselves....

And now, Marshall's issued the obligatory, formulaic non-apology apology, in which he regrets "any misimpression my poorly chosen words may have created as to my deep commitment to fighting for these vulnerable children and their families" (tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.
com
).


5-1 that Mayor Mooseville ignores his comments.

5-3 she tap dances around them trying to rationalize them.

She will go with the satire explaination more than likely.

She doesnt realize Family Guy is satire I guess.

She doesn't realize a lot of things.

To think she was picked to be the #2 in charge.

I guess all that "executive" experience she had in snow country was good for shit.

How do hateful lunatics like this guy ever get anywhere in politics?

-How do hateful lunatics like this guy ever get anywhere in politics?

They become Republicans.

Rcade, they typically represent small town, small minded, small life, small intellect, small experience folks with small capacity to understand life beyond Mt. Pilot.

Small wonder!

What time will the GOP be holding the
witch burnings and virgin sacrifices?

How do hateful lunatics like this guy ever get anywhere in politics?

Because he's voted in by similar hateful lunatics?

"What time will the GOP be holding the
witch burnings and virgin sacrifices?"

I suspect you would qualify for the latter rather than the former

While we are at it, can we put him in charge of Nuclear Weapons too?

This is that great big steaming pile of Republican Base we've been hearing about.

Hateful, biggoted, anti-intelectual, anti-Jesus, gun-fondling, bible-thumping, hypocritical idiots.

If you apply his logic to the DR he's got a point. RCade, a kind of blog god if you will, tolerates disabled people posting on the retort (Woke, Jackass, Eddie, etc...) and we are punished daily for it.

How do you really feel about it, Axe?

Shazammmm!

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

"Neither this man nor his parents sinned,," said Jesus, "but this happened in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?" Some claimed that he was.

Others said, "No, he only looks like him."

But he himself insisted, "I am the man."

"How then were your eyes opened?" they demanded.

He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."

"Where is this man?" they asked him.

"I don't know," he said. -- John 9:1-12

Obviously Mr. Marshall is not a Christian.

Of course, the fucking idiots blaming "the right" or republicans for this line of thinking as a group are not intellectuals. So they have something in common with Mr. Marshall - IGNORANCE.

it's fun when republicans start speaking their minds.

How do hateful lunatics like this guy ever get anywhere in politics?

------

the only difference between this jackass and the rest is that he said it with a microphone.

Elcid,

You are the ignorant one here if you thing Marshall is not mainstream in the Republican mindset. He just dosn't have the intellectual capacity to keep it toungue under control and let's his true Rtard self shine thru once in a while.

If you are honest with yourself and look closely at every single Republican Party position, you will not find a single one that agrees with anything Jesus taught.

Not a single one.

Every single thing the Republican Party stands for (and this applies to the Tea Party too) is 100% ANTI-JESUS.

Everytime one of these morons says something like this, they should be stripped of their position and exiled from the Country.

What? Another Palin thread? I first read this as another bonehead politician saying something stupid. Of course Republicans haven't cornered the market in stupid comments, let's not forget Biden. But it has quickly denigrated into just another anti-Palin Retort thread. The ever constant love affair that the libbies here have on Palin continues. But that's OK, keep concentrating on Palin while the actual conservative voters are watching Romney and Paul. No matter what you may think, you cannot choose our candidates for us. By all means keep trying to pick on Palin.

This guy is retarded.

But it has quickly denigrated into just another anti-Palin Retort thread.

It has? Have you read past post 10?

Or are you just having a knee jerk reaction to seeing "Repub" and "disabled kid" in the headline?

Who's the obsessed one?

"This guy is retarded."

The Klingons removed his brain tissue with their mind scanner.

conservative voters are watching Romney and Paul

I think it's cute that so many people think Ron Paul has a shot at the repub candidacy. He has about as much as a shot as Palin.

You mean Nucooler weapons

I have to agree with the left-wing, moronic ignorami on this one. Idiots like you Marshall, give these braindead, knuckle dragging, mouth breathing troglodytes ammunition to use against the far superior conservative majority in this country. Think before you open your mouth in the future.

So according to Bob Marshall, God is a total dick.

To punish a woman for having an abortion, innocent children are being made to go through life disabled. Total dick move any way you look at it.

But, but, Obama said unaborted babies were punishment.

Stew,

If you think the 'conservatives' are the majority in this country, perhaps you should get out a bit more than just attending the occasional cross burning and gay bath house wine tasting.

We don't need you on our side, Stu. Stay in your mom's basement.

"conservative voters are watching Romney and Paul -- I think it's cute that so many people think Ron Paul has a shot at the repub candidacy. He has about as much as a shot as Palin."

I would have agreed whole heartedly a short time ago, but no one else really interesting has appeared as of yet. McCain is too fossilized at this point, Palin is far to polarizing, Huckabee is a bit too much of a weeny, and Romney seems to be staying on the sidelines. But maybe that's his strategy. I think Paul is a nut, but he has a certain something that many are finding appealing.

This moron represents the right just as Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright represent the left.

Man. When will these fundamentalist idiots just go away. This is the reason republicans get stereotyped as religious fanatics. It needs to go away for good.

Every single thing the Republican Party stands for (and this applies to the Tea Party too) is 100% ANTI-JESUS.

Thanks for removing all doubt about your ignorance and idiocy. Not as if there was any question.

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say. Democrats though say equally ignorant things.

Just remember vote for people who represent you. Who cares if they're republican or democrat. If you feel Bob Marshal doesn't represent your views (which clearly most people won't in my opinion) you need to vote him out of office.

Democracy only works if the people participate.

It's the peoples fault for voting this ignorant douche bag into office to begin with.

What a friggin idiot!

Kick him to the curb--out!

Murphy did you miss this part "Bob Marshall, a Republican state legislator from Virginia"

You always shill for your party did you forget what your handlers taught you? Better re-attend Limbaugh 101 training again.

All I have to say to these morons is that if their "faith" is as strong as they say then they should be able to fix everything they see wrong in the world with the power of prayer alone. So go home, go to a church, get on your knees and fix the world (see how that works out for you). In the meantime stay out of public life with this BS because the rest of us don't want to hear it. Fools!

Hey Jackass--The guy is a bonehead--I don't care what party he ascribes to.

They have a beef about state funding for Planned Parenthood--fine.

But abortions are not the only thing they do.

So go home, go to a church, get on your knees and fix the world (see how that works out for you).

good point.

But, If they wanna fix the world they need to fix themselves first.

They could start by learning how NOT to lie so much.

The person who believes that God is responsible for everything that happens everywhere is just as innaccurate as the person who assumes God doesnt exsist because bad things happen

What a freakin' idiot. I'm thinking Bob Marshall is mentally disabled. Anyone here wanna bet his mom had an abortion before he came along?

What about women who had an abortion, and then gave birth to perfectly healthy babies?
Does Marshall think that somehow God dropped the ball.
He's using a 3000-year-old Jewish custom to justify his claim???
Now THAT'S desperate.

They could start by learning how NOT to lie so much.

People like Marshall and his supporters don't lie. They actually were taught this crap that they think is the truth by their parents and their peers. They need to turn themselves in to rehab (not parochial schools) and learn to think on their own before allowing them to vote for any idiot with a bag of tea around his neck.

"They actually were taught this crap that they think is the truth"

There's the rub.

And no, rehab isn't going to fix it

TheTom,
I just happened to read your comment in the "recent comments" section.
I have no idea what this thread is about, but I can tell you that if you're agreeing with Ringdisaster on anything, chances are you're in the wrong.
This may be the "dog's day", but it's highly improbable.
Thanks,
Everyone

Apparently state senator Republicans aren't the only ones that can say stupid things:

thehill.com

Republicans are gods punishment for not educating our children. These people probably still believe gunpowder is a magical substance.

What? Another Palin thread? I first read this as another bonehead politician saying something stupid.

Well, Chair, I'm sure Ring would say the same thing about you, so I'm fucked either way.

In the meantime, correlation does not equal causation.

Well, Chair, I'm sure Ring would say the same thing about you...

Of course he would, but as I said, he's always wrong.

Now watch this drive...

"I think Paul is a nut, but he has a certain something that many are finding appealing."

Unfortunately he can't get the nomination. A Paul presidency would be a blast. The neocons would flip out if he tried to slash Pentagon spending, military bases, etc. The social conservatives would have a fit if he called off the "war on some drugs". Special interests would scream if he cut off subsidies for ethanol. Dick Cheney would have a heart attack if Paul refused to renew the "Patriot Act".

Aren't there 2 or 3 teabaggers running AGAINST Ron Paul?

Where is the logic in that?

Oh, I forgot we were talking about Texas.

What's the downside?

FF

"What's the downside?"

If Paul wasn't "pro-life" and if he didn't appoint corporatist SCOTUS justices, not much of one.

No shit.

We had to endure two years of Lil George, The Retard.

What time will the GOP be holding the
... virgin sacrifices?

Oh great, an excuse for Republicans to start hanging around elementary schools. Given that 1/3 of all pregnancies end in God made abortions, it really explains where the GOP base comes from.

BRAVO Bob Marshall you're the "Most Perfect,Quintessential Republician" anyone could possibly ask for!!!!!!!!

I think Paul is a nut, but he has a certain something that many are finding appealing.

Many is about 17 people, most of whom think powdered wigs and snuff are cool.

This moron represents the right just as Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright represent the left.

Um, except this guy actually was voted into office to officially represent the views of the people. What elected office do either of the people you mentioned hold?

This is Virginia you idiots. Spend some time in the back country there and you will understand why this idiot was voted into office.

This moron represents the right

Well, him and the hero who flew into the IRS office.

I think I've finally figured out these Republican. They actually worship the god Crom from the Conan books.

"Crom is a grim and gloomy god, ever watching from atop his mountain in dark clouds and obscuring mists, ready to pass a disapproving judgment on any and all."

"Conan remarks in conversation that it is best to avoid doing anything that would draw Crom's attention, as the god brings down only trouble and doom"

Sounds like the same god this guy is talking about to me.

How do hateful lunatics like this guy ever get anywhere in politics?

They have hateful lunatics to support them.

Tell this to Sarah palin!


How disgusting to give a child already having to deal with a disability the insult of being referred to as "God's punishment."

It's disgusting, but far less than actually killing a child...
