Bachmann signs pledge implying blacks would be better off as slaves

[Joe Republic]

The comment about blacks was easy to misinterpret at first, but hey, it's not like a President Bachmann or a President Santorum would actually have to carefully read and comprehend the full implications of stuff before they sign their name to it.

No, more important to me is that this pledge also (clearly) calls for the total ban of pornography.  To which I say, "Shove it."  But I know that these two small government conservatives are simply trying to protect and defend my own moral values in case I stray from the Golden Path, so for that I guess I should be grateful.

Why should they back down from signing it when others misinterpreted the comment?

The same reason the Family Leader eventually retracted that section of the pledge, perhaps?

Despite their socially correct stances, I doubt that either actually believe in banning porn.

I disagree, as I prefer not to underestimate the insanity of Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.

Well, while we're already giving Bachmann and Santorum far too much benefit of the doubt, it turns out the version of the pledge Bachmann signed didn't mention anything about slavery.  How peculiar!

And while speaking on Hannity's show, she also took the opportunity to announce a couple of new bumper sticker slogans for her campaign, such as "It’s good that we no longer have slavery" and "I just want to make it absolutely clear: I abhor slavery."

Go Michele!

You are a Left-Wing Communist hack.

OK.

The Rickster signed it too.

Congrats, Phil.

Ah, I see the Winfield legacy lives on..........and on..........and on..........and on..........and on..........

If being laughed at by everybody is how you want your 'legacy' to endure, then feel free.  At least mypalfish admitted that his equally legendary post was also shamefully ridiculous.  And for that I congratulate Phil on all his hard work.

[Joe Republic]

Oh Joe, Joe, Joe, bitterness, personal insults, and disseminating falsehoods are so unbecoming.

You know, there is an old saying, that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, in which case, I have been overly flatered on this fourm.  Really, I am undeserving of all this flattery.

Aw, that's cute.  Whatever hides your tears of embarrassment, I suppose.

While we're talking about recognition and gratitude, I should thank Mechaman for writing an entire essay about me.  Although I couldn't bring myself to actually read his Wall O' Text, I did notice my name popping up in it more than a few times.

Thank you, Mech!  And congratulations, Phil!

What's this legendary Winfield post???

He created a thread congratulating Keystone Phil for Pat Toomey's election to the Senate.  It became a latter day 'I will now accept my accolades' in terms of unintentional comedy, and Winfield consequently decided to take on a weird sense of overblown pride in it as a way of saving face.  Which makes it even funnier, o/c.
