Wisconsin: Grothman On Kwanzaa: "It’s time it’s slapped down once and for all"

This is the same moron who said money is more important to men than women and proposed a bill declaring single parents to be "child abusers."

http://bloggingblue.com/2012/12/31/grothman-on-kwanzaa-its-time-its-slapped-down-once-and-for-all/


The intellectually free wheelin’ Glenn Grothman is calling for mainstream Americans to stand up and speak out against Kwanzaa, the week long celebration of African heritage in African American culture, observed from December 26th through January 1st.

Grothman says the holiday is promoted only by white left wingers who want to destroy America.

Grothman’s press release is so engrossing and compelling I found myself asking one simple question: how in the hell does this guy get re-elected?



Elected? Hell, how does he even breath?

As a so called "white left winger" it never occurred to me supporting Kwanzaa would help destroy America. Where do all of these nut jobs come from?

Makes physical threats to constituents in the capitol when Capitol Police was contacted response was "you elected him think about it next time". There is a multiple history of physical threats including against his own party, a known succesionist now has leadership role in Missouri Senate.

What happens if one of said constituents takes him up on one of his threats and "opens a can of whup ass" on him? Most Missourians I've met are an independent thinking bunch, they take no crap from anyone.

Threats were against teacher types in his Senate office. He is smart enough to do this behind closed doors. He has been a little more discreet this year.

of Lake Michigan, like the pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

To all those DUers who live in Wisconsin and Michigan, DON'T GO TO SLEEP! THEY GET YOU WHEN YOU SLEEP!

Those bodies of water don't have the same "dumbing down" effect on humans as Lake Michigan. Maybe it's all the sewage pumped into the lake over the years...

What is it about the history and demographics of SE/NE Wisconsin that makes so many (but not all...) so stupid and mean spirited?

Appleton, for example, claims Joe McCarthy and still is home to the John Birch Society (with the Fred Koch connections)...
