Republican Politburo

By Jeff Simpson


Robin Vos (R-adulterer) has decided that his version of small government is to tell the University of Wisconsin system that they are allowed to have any speaker they want, as long as he agrees with their message.

"Perhaps what could be most worrisome about going to college these days is the plague of political correctness that creates an environment that ends up stifling free speech," Vos wrote. "I challenge the UW System this school year to find more ways, beyond a two-page policy statement, to ensure that all perspectives, including conservative ones, are present in the classroom."

Vos spokesman Kit Beyer told the Wisconsin State Journal that Vos directly expressed his concerns to UW System President Ray Cross in a meeting Tuesday.

Mr Vos did an open records request(which he expects fulfilled, unlike the same requests that have been asked of GOP legislators) and found out that the top two highest paid speakers were:

The largest amount paid for a single speaker was at UW-Platteville, Vos said. The speaker was Kathy Ober, a former professor at University of Massachusetts-Amherst and co-founder of the Social Justice Training Institute -- who reportedly spoke three times for a total of $45,000.Michael Sam, the first openly gay player in the NFL, spoke at UW-La Crosse in December and also was one of the highest paid speakers, according to Vos.

Mr. Vos admits that he has no interest in Social Justice and listening to what someone from the LGBTQ community has to say.  Who knew that those two issues are partisan?  

Of course Mr. Vos has a history of being inherently lazy and did not offer up any suggestions, so that is where we are going to come in,  

We at CogDis are nothing if not here to help our friends on the right.  

Let's give some suggestions on who the UW System should bring in to speak to our college kids!

Let me start with a few:

1.   Number one on my list is Jonah Goldberg, of the National Review.  Jonah Goldberg is such a prolific writer, that he gave himself two Pulitzer nominations.   That takes skill!   What aspiring writer would not want to find out how to nominate yourself for the most prestigious awards there are?

2.  Everyones favorite right wing political pundit, Captain 9/12 Glenn Beck.   I would recommend that Mr. Beck be paid to speak to the school of social work so they can better learn how to deal with grief!

“When I see a 9/11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, ‘Oh shut up!’ I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining.” ~ Glenn Beck

3.  The Scientists in the UW System will surely want to hear from Michelle Bachmann, since I am sure none of their professors taught them this!

“Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.” ~ Rep. Michele Bachmann

3. Best Selling "conservative" author and pundit Ann Coulter could be another that the UW System brings in.  The tall blonde has been preaching about liberal indoctrination for years.  

"If you wanted to teach people about the great things about America, a college campus is the last place you’d send them. Even fanatical Muslim terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do." Ann Coulter -- CPAC conference, 2002

Preach Ann, Preach!!   

4.  I would also recommend that Assembly Rep. Bob Gannon (R-White Hood) be allowed to speak also  He can speak to history classes about the Good ole days of the 1920's!

5. I also highly recommend that they have our Governor speak to the Engineering schools about how to build massive walls!

Finally #6, I would recommend they bring in Republican nominee for President, The Donald, who speak on numerous issues, from how to look presidential, to the plight of the disabled!

There are 6 different suggestions from us to Mr. Vos and University President Ray Cross to consider bringing in to speak this year on the UW System campuses.  

Help us out and give us some more suggestions, and I will make sure that Mr. Vos and Mr. Cross get this information!

Ann Coulter Makes Holocaust Reference About Bernie Sanders

We all know that Ann Coulter is an attention-seeking, vile, wretched excuse for a person.  But on Tuesday night, she went way over the line when she sent out this tweet regarding the Democratic National Convention:

This tweet would cross the line in anyone's book (except maybe a Republican's), but it goes way beyond the pale when one remembers that Sanders is Jewish.

Is it any wonder why she is such a big fan of Donald Trump? He's almost as disgusting as she is.

Reince Priebus' Rebranded GOP: The George Zimmerman Edition

As the gentle reader already knows, on Saturday night, George Zimmerman got away with murder when he was given a pass on his killing of Trayvon Martin.

It took them a day, but by Monday morning, Reince Preibus' rebranding of the GOP really shown through.

Ann Coulter did a bit of race-baiting on the case:

Instead of turning every story about a black person killed by a white person into an occasion to announce, "The simple fact is, America is a racist society," liberals might, one time, ask the question: Why do you suppose there would be a generalized fear of young black males? What might that be based on?

Throw us a bone. It's because a disproportionate number of criminals are young black males. It just happens that when Lee Van Houten and George Zimmerman were mugged by two of them, they survived the encounter.

Not to be outdone, Rush Limbaugh actually pushed it to the point of trying to justify using the "N-word":



And locally, we have our own master race baiter, Charlie Sykes living up to the name of his failing and flailing propaganda machine, White Wisconsin.

On Monday, he named George Zimmerman as winner of the day. He's kept up the race baiting all week long, making such outlandish claims such as if the feds pursue any kind of civil action against Zimmerman, it would be because of racism. Then there was this little doozy that he tweeted on Tuesday:

I almost feel bad for Sykes though.  You see, he can't be as racist as he wants to be, because he once pushed it too far and almost lost his job for it.  But seeing as how his radio show keeps sinking in the ratings, he can't sell a book to save his soul and his new one-stop propaganda shop isn't what they were hoping it would be, I felt the need to through old Chuckles a bone.  So, with the help of my friends at One Wisconsin Now, we came up with a new logo for him to show off to all of his conservative buddies:

Enjoy it, Charlie! You sure earned it!

More AFP-WI!

We have written alot about our friends at Americans for Prosperity Poverty - WI! As we get closer to the election, we know that the koch funded astroturf organization will be stepping up efforts.  The Kochs have made no secret of that!  Their problem is in their messaging.   Since the Koch brothers are despicable people, it makes sense that they would bring in people who are just as despicable, to try and get out the right wing vote.

This time they are bringing in an all-star from the despicable line up: Ann Coulter!

Dear Jeffrey,

Don’t miss our rally and book signing this week featuring Ann Coulter in Madison, Wisconsin! You will be educated, motivated and receive tools to fight back against Obama's failing agenda.

Meet New York Times best seller Ann Coulter after you are educated on economic freedom and the failing policies of the administration. Join AFP-Wisconsin, Coulter, and other activists alike to demonstrate the grassroots are demanding a change in policies from the administration.

Where: Monona Terrace Community Center, 1 John Nolen Drive, Madison

When: Sunday, November 4, 12 - 1 PM

RSVP here!

The failures just keep piling up. We need an agenda that will lead America to Prosperity, not one that puts us deeper in debt.

I hope to see you on the road!

Sincerely,

Luke HilgemannWisconsin State DirectorAmericans for Prosperity

Luke Hilgemann, and the rest of his AFPWI group would like to introduce you to Ann Coulter.  Let me save you some time.   

(talking to a disabled Vietnam vet) "People like you caused us to lose that war." -- Ann Coulter on MSNBC

Disgusting. This disabled Vietnam veteran fought against communism when no one else like Ann would. She was fired from MSNBC because her comment was so bad.

 "There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says are the minimum amounts we should be exposed to are actually good for you and reduce cases of cancer." -Ann Coulter, on fears over the fallout from Japan's nuclear crisis, Bill O'Reilly interview, March 18, 2011

 "I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot." --Ann Coulter at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference

 "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." Ann Coulter

 "The swing voters -- I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster."  Ann Coulter

Then let's not forget her recent "tweet" during the presidential debate: 

  “I highly approve of Romney’s decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.”

Not everyone thinks she is funny.   

So this is the person that AFP-Wi felt was best suited to come to WI and help "get out the vote"?  Are you going to take your family to see her?  Is what she said acceptable?  Do you find these statements funny?   Is such hateful and stupid rhetoric what makes one a "rockstar" on the right?  Iw onder if Paul Ryan or any other republican politico will show up and endorse this? 

Those are all questions that you have to decide.   

Let them know how you feel!

Ann Coulter Again Proves Herself To Be Psychotic

Ann Coulter needs a hug or some attention or something. She goes on a verbal rampage trying to defend gun proliferation. Besides her usual gratuitous racist and homophobic lines, she ends her trip down madness lane:

If a single civilian in that Binghamton community center had been armed, instead of 14 dead, there might have only been one or two -- including the shooter. In the end, the cops didn't stop Wong. His killing spree ended only when he decided to stop, and he killed himself.

"The shooter will eventually run out of ammo" strategy may not be the best one for stopping deranged multiple murderers.

But it's highly unlikely that any community center in the entire state would be safe from a disturbed former crack-addict like Wong because New York's restrictive gun laws require a citizen to prove he has a need for a gun to obtain a concealed carry permit.

Instead of having Planned Parenthood distribute condoms in schools, they ought get the NRA to pass out revolvers. It would save more lives.

The simplest truth is that if the laws had been enforced instead of being gutted by the NRA and sociopaths like her, Wong would never have the gun to commit the mass murder in the first place.

About the only thing that I can really get out of Coulter's drivel is that she would prefer a world in which the streets are lined with gunned down pregnant teen-aged girls.

And yet the right wingers wonder why they are losing relevance.

Tip of the Crown to Ol' Broad (who probably buys into this insanity, since she originally posted it).
