This purple finger thing is really burning my ass!
Newt Gingrich, Oliver North, Sean Hannity and every other fundie suddenly think they can justify the Iraq War by painting their index fingers purple. This really fucking BURNS ME UP!

:argh:

13. Iraqis put purple ink on their finger to prove that they voted.
So, conservatives do it as well.

34. Actually, I believe they vote by fingerprint.
Scarily, their elections are more auditable and forge-proof then ours. They use paper with inked fingerprints and I think they store the votes in plastic tubs.

24. I can't stand the pic of that woman!
It's like she's proudly parading her disrespect of servicemen and showing her profound ignorance at the same time.

9. Well, then I'd suggest you turn off your TV for the next week
because we are going to be seeing a lot of it I'm sure.

11. I live in Redville, Murika
And today while shopping, I did not see a single purple finger. I even carried a camera with me, just in case, but not one purple digit of inequity did I see.

17. Kudos to you for being able to stomach Hannity.
I can't watch that lying, smug bastard without my blood pressure shooting through the roof.

It does not surprise me in the least that all the war cheerleading chickenhawks are sporting purple fingers tonight.

My question....why can't WE have paper ballots and purple fingers like the Iraqis? That's what I want to know.

18. Somehow...
using the words "purple finger" and "ass" in the same sentence makes me a little nervous. Then again, my wife always says that I'm kind of a prude.

32. Why do you hate America?
Sean Hannity is an american hero and partiot! The same goes for limbaugh, gingrich, and all the others.

They're fighting the war at home against the america-hating libruls! Which is just as important as the one in Iraq.

30. Why can't they support our troops and GO OVER THERE TO HELP THEM?
No other form is meaningful these days. Not with the difficulties. Not with the deaths.

Support the troops - by putting your warmongering finger where your mouth was.

33. It's the purple finger of military-industrial complex plundering! Duke
Cunningham and the rest of the military industrial contractor thieves displayed their purple thumbs proudly!

It's the mark of the war profiteer and the war mongerer.
