Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, two of the world's most prominent atheist intellectuals, are seeking means to try the pope for crimes against humanity,
Last month Dawkins wrote a scathing article for the Washington Post in which he called the pope:
A leering old villain in a frock, who spent decades conspiring behind closed doors for the position he now holds; a man who believes he is infallible and acts the part; a man whose preaching of scientific falsehood is responsible for the deaths of countless AIDS victims in Africa; a man whose first instinct when his priests are caught with their pants down is to cover up the scandal and damn the young victims to silence.
Hitchens told the Sunday Times of London: "This man is not above or outside the law. The institutionalized concealment of child rape is a crime under any law and demands not private ceremonies of repentance or church-funded payoffs, but justice and punishment."
The best thing the Republican Party can say about this week is, it's nearly over.
First came news that the Republican National Committee paid $1,946 for a gathering at a sex-themed Hollywood club, which a group of young Republicans had visited without RNC approval. The money is to be paid back.
Now it turns out the RNC inadvertently listed a phone-sex number on a fund-raising letter sent to potential donors. People who tried to call the committee were instead offered "live, one-on-one talk with a nasty girl" for $2.99 a minute.
I know...right?! This shit sounds made up...even theGOPisDEADcouldn't have devised a better week for these fear mongering fucktards. But that's the thing about karma, [if you believe] it is a bitch. We're more of the what-comes-around-goes around-motherfucker type...and this week has been intoxicating watching the pejorative fallout as the family values party puts ten coats of paint on those white picket fences of theirs. No amount of latex in the world can cover up the rotting wood underneath.

WASHINGTON (ABP) -- Jim Wallis, a politically progressive evangelical and longtime advocate for the poor, said Christians should stop watching or listening to broadcaster Glenn Beck for remarks urging people to leave churches that preach "social justice."
The Fox News personality recently warned listeners on both his daily radio and television shows that the term used by many Christian churches to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights is a "code word" for communism and Nazism.
I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church website. If you find it, run as fast as you can," Beck said. "Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!"
Glenn Beck described "social justice" as a "code word" and "perversion of the gospel."
Beck responded on his March 11 radio show by mocking Wallis as a "leftist," "operative for the Democratic Party" and "dedicated foe of capitalism."
Even prominent conservative pundits are speaking out, denouncing his hysterics before he sinks the entire movement.
Why Andrew Sullivan cannot support the "Conservative" party:
I cannot support a movement that claims to believe in limited government but backed an unlimited domestic and foreign policy presidency that assumed illegal, extra-constitutional dictatorial powers until forced by the system to return to the rule of law.
I cannot support a movement that exploded spending and borrowing and blames its successor for the debt.
I cannot support a movement that so abandoned government's minimal and vital role to police markets and address natural disasters that it gave us Katrina and the financial meltdown of 2008.
I cannot support a movement that holds torture as a core value.
I cannot support a movement that holds that purely religious doctrine should govern civil political decisions and that uses the sacredness of religious faith for the pursuit of worldly power.
I cannot support a movement that is deeply homophobic, cynically deploys fear of homosexuals to win votes, and gives off such a racist vibe that its share of the minority vote remains pitiful.
I cannot support a movement which has no real respect for the institutions of government and is prepared to use any tactic and any means to fight political warfare rather than conduct a political conversation.
I cannot support a movement that sees permanent war as compatible with liberal democratic norms and limited government.
I cannot support a movement that criminalizes private behavior in the war on drugs.
I cannot support a movement that would back a vice-presidential candidate manifestly unqualified and duplicitous because of identity politics and electoral cynicism.
I cannot support a movement that regards gay people as threats to their own families.
I cannot support a movement that does not accept evolution as a fact.
I cannot support a movement that sees climate change as a hoax and offers domestic oil exploration as the core plank of an energy policy.
I cannot support a movement that refuses ever to raise taxes, while proposing no meaningful reductions in government spending.
I cannot support a movement that refuses to distance itself from a demagogue like Rush Limbaugh or a nutjob like Glenn Beck.
I cannot support a movement that believes that the United States should be the sole global power, should sustain a permanent war machine to police the entire planet, and sees violence as the core tool for international relations.
Does this make me a "radical leftist" as Michelle Malkin would say? Emphatically not. But it sure disqualifies me from the current American right.
To paraphrase Reagan, I didn't leave the conservative movement. It left me.
In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top. Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided. Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP.
By now you all know the story about the "Pimp & Prostitute" who sought advice from ACORN on how to obtain government funding to set up a brothel, harbor under-aged children, and become involved in human-trafficking. A troubling and vile outcome to a rather slick, but not so complex investigative piece. Great work to the team who exposed this story.
Of course though, the "pimp & prostitute" were none other than two undercover right-wing reporters who have since released 4 videos capturing ACORN fraud, corruption, and malfeasance. Before we continue, let's get one thing straight - theGOPisDEADdoes not condone by any stretch of the imagination the actions of the aforementioned ACORN workers. Those dumb-asses ought to have been fired. However, we would like to make certain observations...and expose these two reporters for just a moment.
The Pimp:
James O'Keefe served as Publications Coordinator at the Leadership Institute (a hardcore right-wing recruiting station), where he helped initiate 22 independent newspapers and magazines across college campuses nationwide. Boasting the conversion of progressive ideology and left-wing advocates into the next leaders of the conservative movement, O'Keefe is working hard to grow his homogeneous army of right-wing thinkers.
O'Keefe has given lectures on campus strategy and fundraising, preaching the gospel of Saul Alinsky. This is an important fact. Who is Alinsky you might ask? As a well-known community organizer and writer, Alinsky spent four decades organizing the poor for radical social action. In particular he fought hard to improve conditions of African-American ghettos which became a rather passionate issue after suffering the hardships of antisemitism throughout most of his life. The important thing to note is that O'Keefe used Alinsky's own philosophy against what he stood for.
The Prostitute:
"20-year-old Hannah Giles is a college student who became interested in exposing social injustice and the abuses of power when she attended her first conference in Washington, DC in 2007."
She is an aspiring journalist whose father is none other than conservative douchebag columnist Doug Giles. Wow, daddy has connections...surprise, surprise.
Okay. That's a little background on our two dodgy little investigative reporters.
ModusOperandi: An observation: So we have two f***ing privileged, hardcore, right-wing zealots, in the form of lily-white bread crackers like O'Keefe and Giles going into poor neighborhoods posing as a pimp and a prostitute to blow the lid off of unethical behavior? Well goddamn, you did it. Wow. Powerful reporting indeed. You rats. You're both so ingenious, so cool, so crafty.
Can anyone else smell the stench from these two f***ing albino rats? We here at theGOPisDEAD come from impoverished, derelict, and well honestly ignorant fauna just like the poor bastards at ACORN who didn't have one whole brain between them in all the videos put together. They didn't know their asses from a hole in the ground. H.R.? ACORN needs to clean f***ing house or shut the doors. We digress.
Point is, the sole motivation of these two rats was to bring down ACORN and more importantly shut down any debate on healthcare reform or progressive agendas. This sh** is so transparent that if you don't understand just how insidious their little stunt is, and how sick the motivation is behind their agenda...well then...put down the crack pipe and open your eyes cuz I'm about to bitch slap you. We won't even get into the ethics of this new agenda driven journalism. No code.
Giles who is interested in "exposing social injustice and the abuses of power" finds herself in the ghettos of America posing as a prostitute to expose injustice. Whah?
I'll say it again. Two white-bread, prim-rose crackers went to the ghetto to expose injustice and power abuse, using the faces of unsuspecting black Americans. It's enough to make you insane.
This was an ambush. But alas, justice was served up...and the poor reTARDS from ACORN were fired and sent back to their slums to think about what they did. The little rich white kids took their video tapes back to daddy and his friends to break the story.
The ACORN workers had no way to abuse power, because they didn't have any f***ing power. The only injustice is the nasty way this was done to people that just didn't know any better. Let's forget about the root of the problem and how life works against black America, disproportionately imprisoning black men, discounting young black kids in inner city schools, and in general leaving an entire culture of people to rot in an American wasteland. Meanwhile the white devil looms in the form of O'Keefe and Giles exposing a sick irony.
O'Keefe and Giles must be so full of themselves, so proud of what they have done. They must be shining stars back at Disney World.
For what you might ask?
To reach with their long arm of privilege, education, and white bigotry down deep into the throats of the poor - the powerless - and the under-privileged to yank out their collective guts with no remorse whatsoever, for the sole purpose of eradicating what they fear most - AN INTELLIGENT AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT wanting to help those that cannot help themselves.
We here at theGOPisDEAD would like to dedicate this here video to the Teabaggers, Glenny Beck's 912 Projecters, Birthers, and their kin for their scintillating cattle herding, hogtie in DC this weekend on our National Mall. Sphere: Related Content
When someone starts a blog, the intent is to present information others may find intriguing, relevant, frustrating, informative, or down right cool enough to keep your collective asses engaged.
We here at theGOPisDEAD started this particular amalgamation to prove the "Grand Old Party" with "OLD" as F*** being the optimal word here is kaput, over, done, fried, crispy, and a vacant shell of a party not worthy of recognition. We find their ideas stagnate, tired, backwards, boorish, mean, and down right irrelevant...and frankly a little re'TARD.
