In one of the more bizarre moments in the annals of journalism (term used loosely), bottom-fishing right-wing publisher Joseph Farah wrote a tawdry smear on the occasion of the President’s birthday, casting innuendo about Obama’s birth, which in and of itself is not unusual. What was really outside the norms of civilized discourse was this: “While the media and the failed Washington political establishment would like it to just go away, that will never happen.
Not as long as I am around to sit on Obama’s birthday cake.
That video clip was funny. The image of Joseph Farah sitting on Obama’s cake is disgusting. Farah doesn’t tell us whether his pants would be up or down.
Even taken metaphorically and devoid of the mental image it invokes, Farah’s statement shows what a mean and spiteful person he is.
What’s wrong with (some) Americans?????
Now Rev Phelps wants to picket the funerals of the victims of the Norway massacre.

(I hope he gets arrested. If they’re let in which I doubt.)
I mean, we’ve sure got or share of lunatics (as Breivik lethally demonstrated) but they didn’t cross the Atlantic to come and spew hatred at the 9/11 ceremonies.
Is it me getting old, or did we have sh*t like that 30 years ago?
I think we have always had stuff like this in some fashion, but with the advent of the 24 hour news cycle and the internet, we hear about it more than we may have in the past. As for Phelps, they are just doing this for the notoriety. Any well known funerals/memorial services, he can find, his church (i.e. extended family) will protest. He has the same abusive, social dominance personality as you would find in the white supremacists and some of the birtherstan shrills (not as much in the true believers).
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please
let them in, the whole rotten bunch of them.
Then when he vomits his putrid bile on your doorstep, throw his ass in jail and leave him there to rot. Let the boys bend him over, over and over and over again.
Please, oh please, please make it so.
Did I say please?
I guess this is a rather ironic post for that rant, isn’t it?
I can only justify myself by pointing out that Phelps actually deserves to rot in a hell of his own making.
He isn’t politically incorrect, or idiosyncratic, or insane. He doesn’t just hold ‘wrong’ views or different opinions.
He is the human personification of evil in today’s America.
I think it has something to do with the anti-lynching legislation.
Didn’t some sportsplayer used to do this? He would sit on people’s cakes in the lockerroom and leave his imprint on them until someone turned the tables and left him a turd on his. I think he stopped doing it because it got around and he was afraid someone would stick a needle in the cake
“Obama Turns 50 Despite Republican Opposition”

Obama owns Joseph Farah’s brain. He’s addicted to Obama. Farah thinks of nothing but Obama in the same way a celebrity stalker thinks of nothing but the celebrity.
That Farah is openly expressing his own deeply inappropriate and socially unacceptable thoughts isn’t a surprise. This is what happens when the stalker finally understand that the celebrity they obsess over won’t give them the time of day.
Cake farts?
He’ll soon find out the limits of American Free Speech.
“…shows what a mean and spiteful person he is.”
he certainly looks like the person he is, what a rotten person!
“…Jerome Corsi and a handful of other Americans”
He didn’t bother to mention Trump by name? Awwww, Farah still mad cause Trump has bigger pulpit? 😉
I’m just glad Farah isn’t jumping out of the cake.
Bob, ditto everything you said. Farah is definitely obsessed with President Obama and I love the stalker analogy.
Not as long as I am around to sit on Obama’s birthday cake.
That’s one way to explain the stain on the back on his trousers.
There are others, of course.
While I agree with everything else you said, I think we should leave wishes for prison rape out of the discussion.
We are better than that.
Farah is a phalangist. What do you expect? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalange
You are right. I appologize to everyone.
Phelps would probably enjoy it anyway.
[bada-bing]
Nah, Norwegian jails are pretty nice. Like a Best Western. Fred Phelps does not deserve that.
