Calling for Tom Delay's Suicide
Written by Doc Farmer
Tuesday, April 12, 2005



Before you read any further, it isn't ME who is calling for Tom DeLay, Leader of the House of Representatives, to take his own life. However, I think you might want to know who is.

Tom DeLay is not having a good week. Or a good month. In fact, I'd venture to say that so far, this year has probably sucked like a black hole at the core of a super-galaxy for Mr. DeLay. The lib/dem/soc/commie press, in their standard feeding frenzy approach, has taken it upon themselves to "protect" America from this vile and dangerous man. Why is he vile and dangerous? Because, he doesn't think like they do. That is a sin they cannot abide.

So, how does the lib/dem/soc/commie press, guided of course by their DNC masters, go about taking down this threat to their authority? Do they go about a structured and reasoned debate of Mr. DeLay's statements? Do they provide alternatives to his public policy pronouncements? Nope. They trash him. They misrepresent his statements. They bald-faced lie. They root around in the bottom of the stable, looking for something brown and smelly to smear on their political opponent.

There have been stories about DeLay's EVIL policy of hiring family members to work on his political action committee. A policy, oddly enough, that seems to be almost a standard practice for BOTH sides of the political aisle. They pile innuendo on innuendo, hoping that they can destroy his reputation and political traction. What they cannot obtain at the ballot box, they dredge up from the septic tank of their souls.

Odd thing, though. So far, there has been NO evidence set forth to show that Mr. DeLay has broken any laws or ethics rules. Ah, well, when it comes to inconvenient things like facts and truth, the lib/dem/soc/commies are happy to ignore them.

Tom DeLay stated that there should be some form of Congressional oversight of an out-of-control judiciary, as was evidenced in the recent Teri Schiavo debacle. DeLay recommends that Congress exercise their Constitutional duty as is enumerated in Article III, and the lib/dem/soc/commies start screaming that he's calling for the execution of judges. Odd, they didn't seem to mind the execution of an innocent woman starved to death all that much. Must be that double-standard of theirs.

We all know that the Nation's Capitol is a rough-'n'-tumble place. It is not for the faint of heart or the thin of epidermis. Folks who go there know this, and are generally prepared for it.

There are limits, however. And thanks to an enterprising "artist" (and from what I've seen of his website, that term is being extremely generous) those limits were broken on Monday. Kudos to Matt Drudge for finding this little gem. And a hearty boo-hiss to Christopher Goodwin for delving into the depths of depravity.

Mr. Goodwin decided that he doesn't like Mr. DeLay very much. No problem with that. It's a free country and all that good stuff. However, Mr. Goodwin decided to vent his spleen in a rather an unfortunate way.

While I cannot show you the t-shirt here, luckily, I saved a picture of it to my own files--and it's seared, seared! in my memory. It reads:


              Dear Tom DeLay,

              Please commit suicide.

              Sincerely,
              Everyone
Now, imagine if you will that you're the Leader of the House of Representatives. You're being attacked on all sides by enemies and friends alike. You've broken no laws, you've committed no crimes, you've violated no ethics rules. But then, some ******* starts calling for your death.

This, to me, is not a nice thing.

I wonder if Mr. Goodwin, being a touchy-feely-sensitive-kinda-guy, thought for a nanosecond about how patently offensive this T-Shirt might be. Not only to Mr. DeLay, but also to folks who have lost a loved one through self-homicide. Further, I always thought that lib/dem/soc/commies were supposed to be caring people, willing to accept almost any type of behaviour. Well, I suppose that only goes for "their own kind."

Imagine, if you will, that somebody started selling T-shirts that said "Hang Yourself, Hanoi Jane" or "How About A Fourth Purple Heart, Senator Kerry? - Blow Your Own Brains Out!" Or even "Geld Yourself, Bill Clinton" - although I'm quite sure the Hildebeast would have about 20 gross of those in her closet already. Can you imagine the hue and cry that would arise from the lib/dem/soc/commies?

Now, the good news is that Mr. Goodwin no longer sells this particular item. He even put a note on his blogsite that says, (and I quote) "The Tom DeLay suicide shirt was in poor taste. I apologize. Now, please stop sending me hate mail. I get the point." Well, Mr. Goodwin, I don't think you do get the point. I don't for a second believe or accept your apology. What you did was beyond the pale. It was heartless, disgusting, vile and (quite possibly) illegal. All the things I have sadly come to expect from the more rabid of the lib/dem/soc/commie species.

Folks, if you'd like to provide Mr. Goodwin with your own opinion of his tasteless "art", please feel free to send him a quick note. Be polite, don't be vulgar or potty-mouthed, but make your feelings known. After all, free speech isn't just within Mr. Goodwin's purview. It's also yours. His e-Mail address is chris@goodwinart.com.

Oh, and since he tried to make money off of his hate-speech (gee, I thought lib/dem/soc/commies were against that kind of thing) you might want to ask his on-line vendor to drop him as a client. He sells his dreadful wares through CaféPress (the same company that sells good, honest, all-American ChronWatch products) and you can reach them at http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/contact.aspx or by telephone at 1-877-809-1659. While you're there, order a genuine ChronWatch T-shirt.

By the way, ask them when they'll start selling Fez hats!

I like the way he signs it, "Everyone."

Yahright... "everyone." Well, he sure wasn't speaking for me.

Everything in your post was spot on. Tom DeLay hasn't been convicted of anything, but with friends like our spineless RINO's in Congress, who needs enemies? All the Democrats have to do is keep referring to the same old insinuations and pretty soon most of America sees Tom DeLay as a bad guy - they've done this over and over and over.

I actually love it when the other side stoops to such crude behaviour.

Conversely, I wince when someone on the conservative side of the fence does it but I don't think most of the leadership of the other side even sees anything wrong with it.

It's just "freedom of expression," hm? Rolling Eyes

Hey, freedom of expression is important. Which is why I sent a note to CafePress, asking them to dump this bozo as one of their clients...

Whenever a liberal speaks we hear terms like 'Everyone', 'The majority of Americans', 'Most of the people', or other such false statements to let you think that they are speaking for the majority. Hey liberals, you lost, despite trying to cheat, lying, and the backing of the MSM you lost. You are the minority and shrinking.

And yet, like a poisonous toad, they keep puffing themselves up...

“Unhinged Liberal Products for Sale,” By Michelle Malkin – 4/12/05

Yesterday, Drudge linked to a nasty anti-Tom Delay t-shirt being hawked at Cafe Press. The shirt urged the GOP congressman to commit suicide. Sold by artist Christopher Godwin, the product has now been removed (though you can still see it on Cafe Press's search engine complete with the caption "We can dream, can't we?"). Not to worry. There are plenty of other hate-filled, liberal knick-knacks and apparel items still on sale: **CONTINUED**

“Pie throwers and goon squads” – Editorial, WashTimes - 4/11/05

<….> But when another pie thrower lobbed his projectile at conservative activist David Horowitz last week at Butler University, the speaker took a moment to bring up a very serious point. "There's a wave of violence on college campuses, committed by what I'd call fascists opposing conservatives," he said. "It's one step from that to injury." …..

This is not to suggest that those who have attacked conservatives here will one day swap their pies for guns. But someone else with less conscience might. That's because once violence, however harmless it at first appears, is accepted as an appropriate means of protest, it tends to escalate. The media should highlight these cases not as the jokes they are perhaps intended to be, but as unacceptable perversions of the First Amendment. So far, however, the mainstream media has failed to do so. It also gave scant attention to last year's election-oriented violence directed almost solely against Republicans. Perpetrators shot at Bush-Cheney campaign headquarters and attacked volunteers and destroyed campaign offices across the country, to cite a few examples. …..
