"Slavery Gets Shit Done." and Republican Jesus holding an M-16

Bob Schaffer's Son Apologizes For Obnoxious Facebook Page
By Andrew Tilghman and Kate Klonick - August 5, 2008 - http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/08/bob_schaffers_son_apologizes_f_1.php


The son of Colorado GOP Senate candidate Bob Schaffer is causing his dad a little embarrassment on the campaign trail this week.

Nineteen-year-old Justin Schaffer publicly apologized for putting up posters on his Facebook page including one declaring "Slavery Gets Shit Done."

Also among the Facebook page additions are some that mock Barack Obama, painting him as Muslim, an elitist, a homosexual, terrorist and comparing the presumptive Democratic candidate for president to the cereal-box character "Count Chocula."

The page also includes several pro-gun images. One "bumper sticker" shows an image of Jesus holding an M-16 in front of a Confederate flag, with the words "What Would Republican Jesus Do?" Another features a bevy of different kinds of guns with the words, "Celebrate Diversity" underneath.

.................

[fascisthunter]

1. gee... wonder where his son learned that bigotry from

[whistle]

2. More reTHUGlicon brats coming up through the ranks, like rats spreading the plague

[TroglodyteScholar]

61. I like the fact tha the apologized...

"I'm sorry I revealed publicly what a disgusting piece of shit my father raised."

You know you're a lowlife when you have to make apologies for the way you truly feel--especially when you only apologized to save face for you piece-of-shit daddy who feels the same way.

[Solly Mack]

3. like his apology changes anything

forced to apologize because his daddy's running for office...but you know the piece of shit didn't mean it and it changes nothing about how he thinks

[elizfeelinggreat]

10. I agree -

they are hollow words when you see the details from his site.

[XOKCowboy]

12. Did you read that stupid apology?

"I do not agree with the sentiment or content of the offensive material, especially the 'bumper sticker' that references slave labor."

You don't agree with it but you put it on the freakin' internet? You meant every word of it and thought it was "cool" you hateful idiot. Thanks though. You just hammered one more nail into your Dad's campaign casket. Prick!



Edited to add this picture to show those who didn't click the link what kind of trash he "didn't agree with".

[Solly Mack]

33. Amazingly typical

Thanks!

[IndyOp]

57. And the reason he doesn't agree - "materials... are forbidden in my parents home"

In other words, I he has no internalized values, he only judges right and wrong by his parents reactions. Don't worry though, his Dad says that he and the wife have "initiated a process of firm and severe discipline" -- no discussion, no attempt to really understand why the materials are offensive.

"The offensive materials directly contradict the values that my parents taught me and are forbidden in my parents' home. My Facebook page is solely my responsibility, and I am saddened that my actions have reflected poorly on my sisters and parents."

[XOKCowboy]

59. I can't wait to hear what the punishment is...

Schaffer is going to be hounded by this for a long time. I hope that he's pressured enough to make his kid either enlist or volunteer to work in a soup kitchen or other community service.

[TroglodyteScholar]

62. I'll bet you a nickel...

...that Daddy had a PR firm write that apology.

[Gabi Hayes]

74. I'm sorry, but that picture made me LOL

even funnier, lots of the same idiots that think he's a muslim probably think that picture's real.

or, should I say, scarier?

[XOKCowboy]

83. Ooooooooo Scary Muslims! Terra Terra Terra

Plus note that the Obama is also "darkened" in the photograph so he's not only a scary Muslim he's also... gasp...

BLACK!

Run Away! Run Away!!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. Apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it? nt

[TexasObserver]

7. In this instance, the horse apple didn't fall far from the horse's ass

[ColbertWatcher]

17. My thoughts exactly! n/t

[Dogtown]

5. Apple>tree

This is one creepy little hater...

:eyes:

[TooBigaTent]

6. When you think hopefully that the right will die off, stories like this pop up.

The US has no shortage of bigots and assholes - because the pukes keep reproducing. How do you think that racism continues to exist 150 years after the Civil War?

Maybe by 2250, we can be rid of these shits and their filth.

[XOKCowboy]

8. Gee in the picture of him up against Mt. McKinley he looks so nice...

I love this ad. BS's very first of the campaign and he doesn't know the difference between Denali and Pike's Peak. tsk tsk. Also note that he says his son is in ROTC. Figgers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuZByA3Zaf8&eurl=http://www.politickerco.com/jeremypelzer/1177/schaffer-pulls-tv-ad-after-mountain-mix

[ColbertWatcher]

19. He's in ROTC? How much do you want to bet he avoids going to Iraq/Iran? n/t

[XOKCowboy]

22. Which brings up the point that he's prime fighting age

He's obviously into guns and "freedom". Another reason to hate the little prick.

[MattBaggins]

31. I saw that on that mirror of the face book site

Hmm I wonder how many emails and phone calls it would take to end his ROTC career. The Army is no place for someone who thinks that "slavery gets things done" is funny.

[bullwinkle428]

9. If a liberal had put this online as a parody site, can you imagine

all of the screaming you would hear from the right??

"ZOMG!!!11!1 HOW DARE YOU TRY TO PAINT WITH US WITH THAT BROAD BRUSH OF STEREOTYPES!!!"

[vinylsolution]

11. Just like the Coors' vile offspring....

... there's never a shortage of trainee Nazis here in Colorado.

These kids need to be shot at, ASAP.

[closeupready]

24. No, not just like their offspring.

Have you ever personally met and spoken with a member of the Coors' family? I have, and the one I met was actually quite intelligent, charming and anything BUT vile.

[Catherine Vincent]

13. What an asshole. nt

[rucky]

14. I'm sorry but I've gotta laugh.

Not that anything he posted was funny, but what a ridiculous clown.

[Matariki]

15. Wow - he's a piece of walking performance art.

That's so over the top it *has* to be parody. Maybe he hates his 'old man'?

[devilgrrl]

16. I encourage everyone to write to Mr. Schaffer telling him how impressed we are with his son.

http://www.bobschafferforsenate.com/

Here's the letter I sent:

Slavery Gets Shit Done

Classy kid you got there Mr. Schaeffer. Say? He should sign up for the service. We can use a sociopath like your son in Iraq - he'd be brilliant at changing the hearts and minds of those ungrateful Iraqi citizens - just like any Republican Jesus would do.

I hope you get your ass handed to you in November.

[XOKCowboy]

20. Ummm it's Schaffer...

but pronounced the same... Just sayin'..... :)

[devilgrrl]

21. fixed

:hi:

[Odious justice]

18. What would Republican Jesus do? I kinda want to know.

You know it would be something kick ass. It's F'n Jesus! In Republican form! I imagine some sort of country music show combined with the spectacle of human sacrifice and loads of budweiser.

[DRoseDARs]

26. B arrested 4 domestic violence, public drunkenness & illegal discharge of a weapon w/in city limits.

That's what Whitetrash Jesus would do.

[L. Coyote]

64. Turn water into Big Oil for money and tell the poor to go frikkin' fish for themselves

Just guessing here :rofl:

[donco6]

23. I have no doubt whatsoever . . .

that both he and his father have no problem with anything on that website.

He was the one who defended the Marianas Islands sweatshops.

http://www.coloradoconfidential.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3701

So, I guess it's true - Slavery DOES get shit done!

[panzerfaust]

25. So the asshole kid now says QUOTE:

"I do not agree with the sentiment or content of the offensive material, especially the 'bumper sticker' that references slave labor. It is clear that my actions were juvenile, disrespectful, and a mistake on my part."

Um. Lets see. You spend a bunch of time putting this shit together because you don't believe in it. Oh. OK. Right.

God Bless Conservative Values:

[SpiralHawk]

27. The apple does not fall far from the tree

eom

[Kaleko]

56. That offensive material Justin Schaffer doesn't agree with

is still on his facebook site.

Including this piece among other Obama slurs





So, young Schaffer is not a racist, gay-bashing gun nut, he just posts like one...

Riiiight. He also states his religion is Roman Catholic and his politics are "conservative."

Only in Amerika...

[tburnsten]

28. That one is awesome

not talking about his other ignorant crap, but the sticker "Another features a bevy of different kinds of guns with the words, "Celebrate Diversity" underneath." is fucking righteous! Celebrate diversity indeed!

I bet he will say that the other stuff on his site was "just a joke", whatever mini-stalin.


I still like his "diversity" sticker though.

[ProgressiveFool]

49. lol I got my brother that celebrate diversity t-shirt with the guns for Christmas

an olive branch, if you will... I thought it was pretty good :)

[tburnsten]

53. Olive branch? Difference of opinions normally?

If he's a shooter, that is a superb shirt to get him!

[Orsino]

29. Another parent fails to provide a child...

...with the tools needed for critical thinking. Ignorance made money for daddy, so it'll take care of Junior, too, he may believe.

[devilgrrl]

30. Check out the facebook page

http://www.schafferfamilyvalues.com/

His email addresses are listed :-)

[LaurenG]

35. Did you see the move on add "free Obama button" next to the kids picture. nt

[JBoy]

52. Sweet. Preserved for posterity!

[Jim__]

32. I'd like to think that will cost his father some votes.

Seeing as how Schaffer was only going to get GOP votes anyway, I'm not sure it will.

[LaurenG]

34. Stupid kid...

x(

[SoCalDem]

36. Kids learn what they live... n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

37. Oh jesus god, he's an economics major

Great, another Milton Friedman Jr. to propagate evil in the world. :puke:

[MsTryska]

38. People from Colorado

are not allowed to sport the Confederate flag.


but that's the least of the things that irk me about this kid. typical snot-nosed republican brat with no sense.

[Javaman]

39. And there is the future of our nation! lord have mercy on our souls. nt

[B.S. Lewis]

40. I know plenty of left-leaning people who would find the slavery thing funny

Just sayin'.

I mean, does being a liberal or leftist mean you can't laugh at Bender when you watch Futurama?

If it weren't for the Obama stuff I wouldn't have assumed anything about the kids politics from the slavery joke by itself. That's not to say that I don't think stuff like this might have some negative effect on our culture, but I am saying that you can't judge individuals based on it, as they may find it funny in an ironic way.

[jberryhill]

43. The shirt has a picture of the pyramids on it, and tshirthell.com is not what you'd call "right wing

[MattBaggins]

44. While I appreciate your sincere attempt at obfuscation;

No one here is doing what you say. This is about "the whole picture". The entirety of his facebook page paints a picture that is not pretty. It is not as if we are speculating over one little piece of a puzzle. He himself threw out all the pieces and put them together for us.

[Indenturedebtor]

45. Yeah it pretty much means that you don't understand liberalism

Laughing at crimes against humanity seems to indicate that one is a little racist. File that one under gas chamber jokes, and knee slappers about gang rape, etc.

Stuff like that is quite literally about as funny as a funeral.

[cyndensco]

47. I cannot imagine finding anything about slavery funny.

It is beyond the "Obama stuff" to many Americans, and it is just not funny.

[fascisthunter]

58. you wish

[CrazyDude]

86. I would have thought he was a liberal had it not been for Obama

Don't have sex or you'll get pregnant and die?

[derby378]

41. I'm having one of those "I'm Spartacus!" moments right now

Nothing scares a slavemaster more than a renegade slave preaching liberty and carrying arms.

[jberryhill]

42. The shirt comes from Tshirthell.com

They make a wide variety of snarky shirts....

[grassfed]

46. for what it's worth

pyramids not built by slaves. ruins of worker settlements nearby document village life of skilled artisans and well fed paid laborers...

[jberryhill]

63. Yah, and I don't think Bozo's pubic hair was red, either....

...but I don't run the t-shirt store.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

48. Well, that should wrap up a Udall double digit win......

So long, asshole.

[lonestarnot]

50. Wha? He's one of those McSame biker dudes? Did he go to

Sturgis with bushitlers too?

[POAS]

51. 19 yrs old and likes guns------ENLIST ASSHOLE!

[marmar]

54. The knuckle-dragging rednecks are coming out of the woodwork.....

n/t

[Karenina]

55. "Star Trek TNG"

:puke:

[GreenPartyVoter]

60. STTNG? Where? Did I miss something?

[Karenina]

76. Just my warped sense of irony

Nothing to do with the series. SER!ES11!1

[proud patriot]

65. that's some warped stuff right there

x(

[mitchum]

66. That little shit needs to be risking an IED in a land far away

put or shut up, Justin boy

[Hippo_Tron]

67. Sorry, but I think it's outrageous that he doesn't get any privacy because he's a politican's kid

Nobody gives a crap about what's posted on 99% of peoples' facebook pages including mine unless they were unlucky enough to have parents who are running for public office. Then all of a sudden their lives are a public spectacle whether they like it or not.

And yes I also have pictures of me drinking underage on facebook just like everybody else does. It's not exactly a secret that people drink before they are 21.

[XOKCowboy]

68. If his facebook page had pics of girls and the ROTC

then it would have been no problem. When he posts racist pictures on his page then it shows how he was brought up and makes him fair game.

[Hippo_Tron]

69. And if he were just some racist kid who wasn't a son of a politician

This crap wouldn't be all over the internet and he would get to live his life in private like every other teenager does.

I think that many people here would be singing a different tune if they had the misfortune of being a politician's kid in the era of the internet. My facebook bumperstickers are hardly racist or homophobic but if my parents happened to be running for political office in a red state they would cause them a hell of a lot of grief and FreeRepublic would be doing to me exactly what DU is doing to this kid now.

Thank god my parents aren't running for public office.

[XOKCowboy]

70. Yes and thankfully they aren't running against a Republican

because then you can be sure they'd be all over the internet.

[Hippo_Tron]

71. So Republicans pick on politicians' kids and that makes it okay for us to do too

Oye...

[XOKCowboy]

73. Yea we win so many elections by being "above the fray"

It's called politics and so far we've been sucking at it.

[callous taoboy]

77. Wrong. When you post stuff to the internet you are not living your life in private.

Doesn't matter what you post. You post it and you've made the choice to open up your life for others to gawk at. This is why I don't do Facebook, My Space or have a web page. I value my privacy.

[L. Coyote]

87. Privacy is part of the FaceBook concept. You pick your friends

and they see your content. Someone decided his content needed to be aired in public.

[riverdeep]

78. Privacy? On the internet?

Those drunken pictures of you can come up in a future job interview or just a potential date looking you up. The reality is that people like this voluntarily forfeit their privacy and this is well within bounds. You want privacy, don't volunteer info. After that, all bets are off.

You do know that to Republicans any doubt about using this wouldn't even register, right?

While the urge to be scrupulously fair is an admirable trait of Democrats, it's also one of the main reasons we keep getting our ass handed to us. This is a streetfight, not a boxing ring.

[devilgrrl]

82. oh boo hoo

:cry:

You want privacy? Then don't post shit like that publicly.

[CrazyDude]

85. Agreed, some of the things on his page were actually funny

Even the slavery gets shit done made an interesting point. Agree with it, don't agree with it, but it is thought provoking.

[Swamp Rat]

72. The page was removed but it's still in the Google cache:

[madeline_con]

75. Typical Repug.

It won't hurt Dad's campaign one iota.

[riverdeep]

79. I don't know about Colorado's overall politics,

but I do know there are sections that are quite red. This would probably help Schaffer because they see he's 'one of us'.

As a side note, it's really quite amazing how the mind can block out reality. Any one of these charges can be struck down quite easily, but they persist because they need some reason to hate Obama.

[Dark]

80. So obama's a gay muslim vampire?

Ok...

[ForeignSpectator]

81. That struck me, too. Obama is gay, muslim, elitist AND terrorist??

If at least these useless dimwits could get their made-up stories straight... screw it, enough people believe it anyway, all of it at once. :banghead:

[CrazyDude]

84. Republican Jesus is a funny parody
