Reports of Bush & GOP supporter discrimination on the rise.
By Kenneth R. Weiss, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
12:15 PM PDT, May 14, 2008


Matt Whitaker entered the DMV to get his drivers licensed renewed and after standing in line and completing a successful review the DMV administrator asked a series of questions ending in "...do you still support president George Bush...". Matt informed us that he thought nothing of the question so he answered yes. Seconds later Matt was immediately informed he had failed the test and was told by the DMV administrator that "...he was too fucking stupid to drive...".

Matt's story isn't unique, there has been a 50% rise in the number of complaints connected to voter discrimination because of voters support of George Bush and the GOP. The EEOC (a federal civil rights group) has informed the LA Times that they "....didn't really give a shit". "...Fuck em..." said Nancy Dean an EEOC call taker, "...if they still support this guy they deserve what they get...".

Matt is looking elsewhere to get his license but after receiving a letter for the Center and Disease Control to report to a "castration review for breeding prevention" Matt hasn't stepped out of his house.

"They think we're all a bunch of dummies", lamented Matt, "we support Bush for our freedoms and he landed on an air craft carrier!!!!". Matt was in tears and so are many many others across this nation.

1. I don't believe it
The GOP lies, lies and lies. They lied about war and everything else. Why would I believe any of them now?

8. Honestly, it's not a question I'd ever ask in the situation described
...failing someone on a state-required test just because of their political leanings. Very wrong.

On the other hand, private businesses have as much right to withhold services/employment from Bush** supporters as they do non-Christians...which HAS been done.

9. Satire?
This is the LA Times! A reputable paper! And I'm sure the reporter, uh, Mr. . . . . Parlock (why does that name sound familiar?) is surely a very good and objective writer.

hee, hee, hee.
