Buried somewhere in the middle of the thick “Republicans + E-mail = Racist Anti-Obama Stuff” file is the July case of Dr. David McKalip, the Florida neurosurgeon caught circulating this objectively racist witch doctor image of Barack Obama. McKalip was a major “Tea Party E-mail List Guy” and an active player in the American Medical Association, but after being so racist he announced he would keep a lower profile in the anti-reform movement — even though “the image has nothing to do with my feelings or thoughts on any race or culture.” How’s that working out for him? Oh, he’s just traveling the country to speak at rallies and meet with Republican congressmen.
TPM reports on this random racist head-doctor’s new role as a behind-the-scenes player of world-historical import:
Over the weekend, McKalip emailed a fellow activist, reporting that he had been at a conservative medical association meeting, with leaders of the anti-reform movement, including GOP congressmen Tom Price and Paul Broun, anti-reform writer and activist Betsy McCaughey, and Tea Party coordinator Amy Kremer. Conservative doctors and their allies have been organizing in recent days in response to the White House’s event this morning featuring pro-reform doctors.
McKalip’s email was then forwarded on to a Tea Party Patriots email list.
The important insider e-mail was an image of some blackface cartoon from the ’30s where black people eat watermelon, with the caption, “ITS OBAAM.”
No it wasn’t that, at all, maybe. It was a VERY SERIOUS EMAIL okay?
These people reminded me that we are all in this together. The American People are counting on us. Our Children our counting on us. The world is counting on us - because THE WORLD LOOKS TO US WITH HOPE AS A BEACON OF FREEDOM. Without freedom in America, there is no hope for freedom in the rest of the world.
Hmm. The rest of the world might question these assumptions. “Please stop bombing us, Freedom Beacon.”
But anyway, that’s what this racist doctor guy has been up to recently.
Florida Doc Who Sent Obama Witch-Doctor Email Still Helping Lead Anti-Reform Fight [TPM Muckraker]
This post should shock no one.
mmmmm….Freedom Bacon.
It’s true. If the rest of the world couldn’t look at America and think, “damn, you can really fleece the fuck out of folks if you systematically stupidify them enough,” what would happen to the children?
The image should have been that picture of Ron Paul defibrillating the Constitution.
…GOP congressmen Tom Price and Paul Broun, anti-reform writer and activist Betsy McCaughey, and Tea Party coordinator Amy Kremer….
Price and Broun are doctors. Broun is a kook. McCaughey is a … hard to describe, but “kook” isn’t sufficient.
Holy Cow!!: No one is shocked but lots of people are probably wondering where is the as the kids say anal sex?
It is the mark of the truly shamed when they appear not to notice.
That’s why Senators Lincoln and Baucus voted against the public option. They were afraid it would cost the Swedes their freedom.
I am so ashamed to live in Florida. How can Dr. Turdferbrains talk about “the American people are counting on us” as he does everything he can to unite the movement against health care for every American?
The poor are shiftless and lazy. The sick are filled with moral defect.God hates them both.
So no healthcare for anyone except the healthy and rich. God also hates the foreigns so we need to step up the bombing campaigns.
Apparently Dr. David McKalip performs self lobotomies.
“Without freedom in America, there is no hope for freedom in the rest of the world.” Wow. That’s possibly the most idiotic political statement I’ve heard in my life. And I’ve listened to both Joe Biden AND Joe Lieberman.
Seriously, who in their right mind would choose to have “anti-reformer” headlining their obituary? WTF?
Didn’t Freedom Beacon play for the ‘74 Celtics?
I honestly can’t figure out how people who capitalize the word “children” unironically make it through medical school.
Dr. David McKalip has a mouth like a salamander. That’s the good thing I can say about him.
Just found the original text of the First Amendment; Jefferson had lined out part of it but now would probably wish he hadn’t been so rash:
Congreff shall make no law respecting an eftablishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercife thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to affemble, and to petition the Government for a redreff of grievances,
except for that odious douche bag Dr David McKalip.We gotta speed it up.
Can’t we be free to get health care?
nappyduggs: No no no that was Appomattox Courthouse.
That’s no Freedom Beacon. That’s a Death Laser.
AxmxZ: and now i’m thinking about command & conquer.
THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW WE SURVIVE HERE.
He kind of looks like a fat Robert Picardo.
“I’m not a ____________ , I’m a Doctor.”
Also, Betsy “They should call it spotcheck.org” McCaughey is TOTAL LOONCAKE.
qwerty42: You can recognize immediately that these freaks have no anti-reform credibility. Where was Spooky Doktor Tom? I’m waiting for the panel featuring him and that weird Betsy lady who talks bullshit so fast that even John Stewart couldn’t keep up with her.
Anyone else getting sort of a closeted-Jew vibe from the good doctor?
My jewdar goes off something fierce when I look at his pic.
This thing is so offensive, I had to go watch that “you’re being shagged by a rare parrot” video that was on Rachel.
“The world is counting on us - because THE WORLD LOOKS TO US WITH HOPE AS A BEACON OF FREEDOM. Without freedom in America, there is no hope for freedom in the rest of the world.”
So let me get this straight — The Canadians, French, Swiss, Germans and British are watching health care reform praying for it to fail here so that we can then help them throw off the oppression of THEIR health care systems? Because they’re feeling the heavy hand of socialism in low cost medical care?
Wow. That really puts the gulags and concentration camps in their place.
GreatOldOnesParty:…with Freedom Fries! Yum. And a Diet Coke. Also.
According to Dr. David, jigaboo’s just a funny dance you do on Halloween.
how can a neurosurgeon be so idiotic?
“Please stop bombing us, Freedom Beacon.”
I love that line!
Maybe that neurosurgeon gig’s getting tiresome, cause that schedule looks like a man thinking of running for office.
How the fuck do you go from health care reform to WE ARE THE BEACON OF FREEDOM OH JESUS THE WORLD IS COUNTING ON US? Kill all poor people seems to be their policy alternative.
I do not want this evil clown surgeonating on my neurons, or any other part of me.
Way Cool Larry: Larry, meet Dr. Gupta.
magic titty: I thought it was Crispy Buttocks?
nappyduggs: “Didn’t Freedom Beacon play for the ‘74 Celtics?”
ROTFLMAO! Speaking of many African-American names (I am one of them), the formula goes that the first name be a noun (preferably merchandise) and the surname a Western European (preferably an Anglo-Celtic-Gaelic family) name:
Evian Jackson
Celica Johnson
Starbucks McKinney
Recession Montgomery
Propecia (pro-PEH-she-ya) Patrick
Nokia Jefferson
Durcell Buchannan
And so on…
V572625694: don’t you mean “odiouf”?
Our Children are counting on us?
Apparently, grammar isn’t counting on us.
qwerty42: “lying cunt” leaps immediately to mind. (And I wasn’t educated in the PC 80s. It doesn’t give me the screaming vapors. I will happily use that word, whenever someone actually is a lying cunt, as Ms. McCaughey.)
