John McCain Mocked for being a POW by Democrats … How Sick is This, Gloria Steinem Mocks McCain?

Think Democrats have not gone too far? We have not even got to the general election yet and this nonsense is out of control. Republican Presidential soon to be nominee served his country so that people like feminist Gloria Steinem has the right of freedom of speech. McCain was captured and a POW for years. For that, being a POW, McCain is mocked and made fun of by an over-the-hill feminist as onlookers laugh? Could one possibly get any more disrespectful?

Steinem_gloria

This is the reason why friends don’t let friends vote Democratic. The Clinton camp was quick to go into damage control denouncing Steinem’s comments. Too late, the genie is out of the bottle.

From the stage, the 73-year-old seemed to denigrate the importance of John McCain’s time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. In an interview with the Observer afterward, she suggested that Barack Obama benefits—and Clinton suffers—because Americans view racism more seriously than sexism.

“Suppose John McCain had been Joan McCain and Joan McCain had got captured, shot down and been a POW for eight years. [The media would ask], ‘What did you do wrong to get captured? What terrible things did you do while you were there as a captive for eight years?’” Steinem said, to laughter from the audience.

Disgracing Natalee Holloway … This is not Art, its F@#$ing SICK!!!

The following story was e-mailed to us, please keep in mind that the picture if graphic and in such poor taste that we will not post it on Scared Monkeys. This will get your blood boiling.

There is a fine line between are and a special reserved spot in hell. Dutch artists Van Jole (see correction below) not only crossed it, be shattered it. He thinks its OK to put forth the following picture of a deceased Natalee Holloway. See the pic HERE, please be warned it’s not pretty … in fact its heinous. (Note, we are still trying to determine if the name place holder nest to the arm of the individual is different that the one by her feet. In any event, even if there was something else below, the point has already been made.)

HOW IS THIS ART!!!

Go to Geenstijl.nl to read more and see comments from the Dutch.

UPDATE I (Correction) : A little FYI: Van Jole is not the artist. He’s just the guy that took the pictures and posted them on Flickr. The ‘artists’ are the people from art gallery ‘Roodkapje’ (Little Red Riding Hood) in Rotterdam. (Hat Tip: Schop)

We received an email from Van Jole is says as follows. Correction has been made to initial post.

It’s a picture I took during an art manifestation

It is not my opinion or work

kind regards

First Air Force 2 Lands in Aruba, Then Hugo Chavez Sends Troops to Border of with Colombia and Threatens War

We had reported yesterday that Air Force II had landed in Aruba. That in itself was strange enough as one would resume the only reason why Air Force II would ever be in Aruba would be something regarding Venezuela and Hugo Chavez. Now, President Hugo Chavez ordered tanks and thousands of troops on Sunday to the border with Colombia. Not that one may have anything to do with the other, but a rather interesting turn of events.

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa also ordered troops to the Colombian border, saying “Ecuadorean territory has been outraged and bombed by an air attack and the later incursion of (Colombian) troops.”

On Saturday, Colombian security forces killed senior rebel leader Raul Reyes and 16 other Colombian guerrillas at a camp across the border in Ecuador.

Correa said on Saturday that Colombian President Alvaro Uribe had informed him of the raid, but later announced that he was misled after Ecuadorean officials inspected a bombed rebel camp.

Colombian officials have long complained that Ecuador’s military does not control its sparsely populated border, allowing rebels to take refuge on its territory.

Q and O: Chavez threatens Colombia

Colombia, apparently, struck at a narco-terrorist camp inside Ecuador after tracking FARC spokesman Paul Reyes and other leaders there. Reyes and 16 other terrorists were killed. He also called Colombia a “terrorist state”.
