McCollum receives death threat over NASCAR bill

There’s nothing more important to Zeke than NASCAR, except maybe cock fights, drinkin’ and drivin’, dinner at the VF Dubya and maybe drooling over Michele Bachmann.

Pleasant God fearing conservatives.

Yes, lets keep spending on advertisements on a car to get more veterns, and lets cut veteran health care!

Gotta love the attitude of self promotion and no responsibility. Along with a good death threat at that.

Dennis. Cool it. Leave the ad hominem and sexism at home if you want to keep commenting here.

We get those faxes on a pretty regular basis at my news organization. They span a range of topics but usually contain some derivative of “Jobama.” They come so regularly we ignore them and throw them away.

Doing a story on it is only validating the crackpots sending them.

Betty should go back to seliing lipstick at Daytons. At least she knew how to do her job then. If she ever had to face voters who could read and write, she’d never get elected.

Dennis, you’re a pig. And that comment is off topic of the death threat for a common sense budget cut.

Wonder what the “flyovers” at NFL games cost?

An article in today’s Washington Post aptly describes NASCAR racing is “the sport of ne’er-do-wells” with a “redneck heritage”. So it’s no surprise that Bubba would send a cowardly, anonymous death threat to Betty McCollum simply because she criticized wasting taxpayer money on NASCAR sponsorships.

Frank said he gets a lot of faxes with “Jobama”. For those of us less exposed to racist jargon, what’s with the “J” attached to “Obama”?

Most likely a derivation of “yo mama” sometimes parodied phonetically/ebonically as “jo” mama.

Is the purpose of Rep. McCollum’s bill to take that $7 million and shift it from NASCAR ads to, say, disability benefits, mental health services, and/or assistance to returning vets?

So, advertisements on cars at very well attended and nationally televised NASCAR events that draw the democraphics of potential Army recruits are bad, but tns of millions of ARMY OF ONE and GO NAVY and MARINES advertisements on national network TV are still good? Betty’s got some ‘splaining to do.

Oh, and the flyovers are training missions that would have been flown anyway in order to keep the pilots flight qualified – this way they fly to qualify AND get FREE NATIONAL TV Airtime. If $7 mill is bad, than FREE is good, right?

“Area Man Passionate Defender of What He Thinks the Constitution Says.”

Once again, the Onion proves remarkably prescient.

[...] a big government sponsorship of NASCAR.  The bill to cut the $7 million the feds give to NASCAR caused death threats and cries of Marxist to the amendment’s sponsor.  The amendment failed 281- 148, in favor of more gub’ment cheese to the most popular [...]
