SC State Legislator Kevin Bryant needs your thoughts

**See the MSNBC clip below or at the site**

The heart of the GOP rears its ugly naked head in raw racism and stupidity. Here's its newest face:

Living here in the heart of Jesusland, with all the attendant problems of living in the South magnified by the delusions of thousands of crackers convinced the War of Northern Aggression is still not over, can be fun. Kevin Bryant, who is a state senator representing Anderson County in district 3, shows us this mentality by posting a picture to his website of Sen. Obama beside Osama bin Laden with the caption, "The only difference between Obama and Osama is a little B.S." The title of the blog post was "Vacation and Funny Picture"...you decide:

This blogger broke the story and has tracked the fallout.

He removed the image after a shitstorm broke loose, retitled the post later as simply "Picture":


In his interview with the AP, he belied ignorance of the New Yorker cover and, more importantly, how he fits the very stupidity it was intended to combat, however misguided its good intent. However, he writes that he has no regrets:

The posting, not surprisingly, only drew out the virulent and vulgar members of the liberal left whose immediate reaction to any criticism of their candidate includes charges of ignorance and bigotry. This reminds us of their criticism of those who cling to our guns and religion and strikes me only as par for the course.

I have no regrets from this picture, however, I’m sure that a further examination of Obama’s foreign (and domestic) policies must occur in order that voters might truly understand the vast, vast differences between him and Sen. John McCain. I refuse to cower to the cultural police who evermore seek to censor our political discussion. You may view the picture with this link if you wish to see what all the hubbub is all about.

Way take a last stand, Cust--, I mean Bryant. He even provides a permanent link to the offensive image!

Some of his work in representing Anderson County includes sponsoring one bill to shield pharmacists from having to fulfill their duties on religious grounds and another bill to exempt religious organizations even further from any sort of sales tax in any types of transactions. Hallelujah!

Let him know what you think of troglodytes calling our next President a terrorist. I wonder how this peckerwood feels about mean McCain cartoons?

Will the media pick up on this story? Probably not. I stand corrected!


On a tangent, of course this lovely state had to come in next-to-last, just behind Mississippi, in a recent study showing the regressive nature of its transportation and energy policy.
