1. I want to believe he didnt actually say that part about ISIS...I really want to believe

in Santa Claus too.

[BlueJazz]

29. I saw him say that. One paranoid nut. His voice was so sincere and shaking. Maybe he was ready..

...to break into "lonely Teardrops"

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. this isn't just pandering to the NRA maroons...

some of my family in the midwest were afraid to go to Christmas festivities where they live because they were "terrified" of ISIS - because they "knew" they are already here...

[Conch]

5. The legacy of W lives on.

His de-stabalization of the middle east and those zany and always fun color-coded terror scares to elevate polls helped to create the nation's new, more phobic right.

[Hortensis]

37. Legacy of Mad Men techniques harnessed for

political manipulation of millions. Cons, already naturally more concerned about possible dangers from outside their group, become more conservative and specifically less liberal, as worry increases. This plot has been in action since the 1970s. And yes, W's legacy is GREAT for their purposes. Better than victory.

11. Ugh

Must be nice to live in a state of such fear all the time.

[Martin Eden]

3. Reminds me of the fearmongering in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq

Bushco told the public that sealing your house with plastic sheeting & duct tape could protect against a biochem attack launched by Saddam, so the mindless sheep rushed out and stripped store shelves of plastic sheeting and duct tape.

[yuiyoshida]

4. I guess they must think that ISIS

has dug under the fences at the border and infiltrated the entire United States. Is this what they expect to see?


Makes you wonder how they dug under the fence large enough to drive a truck though? Or.. maybe they went to ENTERPRISE rent a car?

"Hi, We're Isis.. We would like to rent a few trucks for the weekend? Can we put that on Master card or Visa? great, and we can sign this right away, thanks!"

[AlbertCat]

6. That's the damnedest sentence....

..... "If Isis were to visit us, or our communities, at any moment, the last line of defense between ISIS and my family is the ability that I have to protect my family from them."

Who talks like that? Who thinks like that? He's gonna save his family and defeat ISIS all by himself.... just like in the movies. See after he shoots them all, the music starts and credits role and everything's OK!

[SoapBox]

7. Bat...Shit...Crazy

[cindyperry]

8. Don't even know how to.address

This much stupud

[cannabis_flower]

9. Gee, if I was buying a gun..

because I was worried, it would probably be about burglars not ISIS

[47of74]

12. Or our own home grown reich wingers.

[HockeyMom]

10. Every ISIS follower knows Marco Rubio!!!!

They are laying in wait to get him. Don't insult ISIS, Marco. They have far better fish to fry than YOU. Hell, they actually LIKE one of your opponents. Keep screaming, Donald.

What a jerk, including all of the Clown Train.

[CTyankee]

22. Have you seen the Jim Jeffries comedy routine on guns...

It is hysterical...

At 2.08 he talks about needing a gun for protection...

[passiveporcupine]

28. Yep, delusions of grandeur

Marco, I worry for your kids. And it's not ISIS I'm worried about, it's your gun. You fucking idiot!

[Botany]

13. ATTN Rubio

From ISIS ..... bring it on big boy



BTW ISIS has no planes or ships just how are they going to get to Florida?

[Shadowflash]

14. We USED to be the home of the brave.

Now we are just a nation of scared little girls who are afraid of their own shadows and need their security blanket peashooters to make them feel better. It's REALLY sad.

[Helen Borg]

15. That Rubio asshole shot Santa!

[malthaussen]

16. He'll probably shoot himself in the ass...

... in an effort to blow his brains out.

[wordpix]

17. Too stupid for words

and I'm not a bad writer

[Tanuki]

18. His kids are so much more in danger from the gun he brought into the house,

statistically speaking, than from some imaginary terrorist.

[dflprincess]

34. Especially with a father who is prone to paranoid delusions nt

[Roy Rolling]

19. Another dyslexic murder case

Rubio thought he was killing Satan.

[MariaThinks]

20. he's admiting that he can't stop ISIS outside the US and so he wants to have one last ditch attempt

at his own house.

he's not much of a candidate and seems to be resigned to his own incompetence.

[krispos42]

21. So... he didn't have any guns beforehand?

Really?

[hibbing]

23. Did he buy a water pistol? n/t

[47of74]

24. He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake

I thought Rubio and the other GOP clowns liked people like that.

[valerief]

25. These GOP candidates are all walking, talking cartoons. nt

[ejbr]

26. I

saw Marco shooting Santa Claus

[SummerSnow]

27. I had no clue they knew his address.lol

see, Rubio is not playing.

[kimbutgar]

30. I am more afraid of a domestic terrorist than ISIS

What a scared little weenie man.

[Mendocino]

31. Out on the porch there rose such a clatter

I pulled out my glock and his brains I did splatter

[TBF]

32. ...

[roody]

33. Shouldn't he be home protecting them?

[PatrickforO]

35. Wow! Marco's the NEW Lindsey Graham...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! We all gonna dayah!

[sammythecat]

36. This is a United States senator!

Good Lord

[tavernier]

38. Even Joe Scar made fun of that this morning.

He and Mika had a chuckle over Marco the fearless.

[TeamPooka]

39. "I saw Marco shooting Santa Claus..." you know the tune to sing along. nt

[drm604]

40. I think a large part of what motivates the right is fear based on faulty risk assessment.

This just underscores that. The odds that you or your family will become victims of ISIS, in your own home, in ways that could be defended against with a gun, are astronomical.

They don't go door to door murdering people in their sleep.
