The pit from where Jillian Bandes emerged. A new RW tool who got schooled by Jane Hamsher.

The conservative blog Townhall has a new spokesperson making the rounds these days and well, let's just say she is the perfect example of today's GOP -- and all that is wrong with it.

Jillian Bandes has been quite busy lately, appearing on CSPAN Friday morning, then showing up on MSNBC where she got very nasty with our dear friend Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake, who laid waste to her right wing talking points.

Bandes is no stranger to controversy. As Tintin at one of my favorite blogs, Sadly No! reminds us, she made her bones by publishing an anti-Arab screed in her college newspaper:

Hey, whatever happend to Jillian Bandes? You remember her. She was the redneck wingnut who was fired from the UNC student newspaper after writing a column advocating that all Arab guys should be strip-searched at airports and that this wasn’t really a problem because Arab guys would enjoy getting all “sexed up” at the airport. Well, guess what? Jillian is now a contributor to the Clown Hall blog — “Where racism isn’t just a philosophy, it’s a job qualification!”

Here are a few snippets from Bandes' anti-Arab rant:

I want all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched if they get within 100 yards of an airport.

I don’t care if they’re being inconvenienced. I don’t care if it seems as though their rights are being violated.

They’re some of the brightest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Tragically, they’re also members of an ethnicity that is responsible for almost every act of terror committed against the West in the recent past....

Ugh! She is another RW maggot who has emerged to spew forth her vile nonsense. What do they feed these spawn?

I am so glad Hamsher smacked her. She is a loon to keep an eye on. I have a feeling the pearls that slip from her lips will be awful even by the standards already set. She apparently has no restraint.

1. Oh, she's a piece of work alright

She better never be in a position where she has to depend on the kindness of strangers.

Arab strangers.

3. Jane Hamsher rawks

I'll bet many a RW idiot has left a spreading yellow puddle under their desk chair by the time she got through with them.

:woohoo:
