A South Carolina gun and accessories company has been selling a very special, one-of-a-kind semi-automatic rifle component inscribed with “YOU LIE,” to honor the state’s favorite son Joe Wilson and his good Southern gentlemanly manners. Yes, for just $99.95, you too can carry those immortal words of pure American bald-eagle-blood spirit on your assault rifle (a kind of gun designed to be very good at killing people, for you librul weenies out there). Which raises the question: Isn’t it a bit late to come out with a Joe Wilson gun thing? His outburst was a whole two years ago. Though perhaps, considering very recent events, this is actually the perfect time for member-of-Congress-themed gun parts.
The product “is neither endorsed nor affiliated with Joe Wilson or his campaign,” according to a line of text at the bottom of the page. A picture of Wilson holding a rifle and standing in the company’s gun shop appears on the same page.
The perfect accessory for all your black-president-hunting needs.
Unfortunately, the product page for this component is no longer available. Did the gun company see what happened in Arizona and take it down? We don’t know. But this “YOU LIE” thing was a limited-edition component, with a production run of 999; considering how murder guns are suddenly more popular than ever the past few days, they probably just plain sold out.
Sounds like a socialist resource shortage to us. Hurry up and give us more member-of-Congress-themed assault-weapon parts, capitalism! We need them… for… stuff. [Free Times]

Wait 'til the" Sharon Angle Second Amendment Remedy Trigger" comes out.
No, they're naming a high powered scope after her.
That's just surveying equipment.
Surveyin', you mean.
You can also attach a Sarah Palin Edition Surveyor's Transit to your AR-15–bolts right in, like a scope, magnifies like a scope, has cross-hairs like a scope, and, in fact, works exactly like a gunsight, but is definitely not a gunsight.
Does it help her tell the difference between an Asian and a Hispanic? Or her ass from a hole in the ground?
"Oh, look, my head's not in that thing. Must be a hole in the ground."
it's itchy.
Probably would fire at the lightest touch, and would control the bullet to hit the shooter's foot, every time.
Sarah Palin Target Practice Sheets. 'Nuff said.
You Die!!
When is the Charlie Rangel pearl-handled derringer and stiletto-concealing walking stick coming out?
I thought Charlie would have the walking stick/flask
It seems Joe Wilson has a very very very very very tiny penis. In fact, it might be an inny.
That's what Lindsey Graham said.
Not terribly ironic that the words of a man who is incapable of contructing an intelligent arguement should be printed on a weapon specifically designed to kill people.
Maybe they could make a Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA" edition, to be used only on those who are not.
Haven't you heard, being born in the USA just makes you an anchor baby.
Nací en los Estados Unidos de América.
Blood Libel.
Lead Bible?
I'm getting a Sarah Palin Blood Libel Limited Edition Glock.
Comes with a set of surveyor's symbols! Survey your political opponents in style. Fun for the whole family!
A true American would have “You Lie” tatooed on his penis.
I already do – and when I get hard it says "You Lie you libunatic soshalist communist bastard you."
I see you are bragging about what caliber of a man you are.
More properly, "I lied."
Dammit, mine says "You lay." Now I'm gonna be on one of those "fail" sites.
Joe can only fit "Yo".
And the "Y" would have to be in lower-case.
I guess the nutjobs are getting a little worried about IRS audits and FBI files and are pulling their pages down. Screenshots, anyone?
Just don't bring it within 1000 feet of any congresspeople.
Strange thing: Joe Wilson also has "You Lie" tatooed on his penis.
In Comic Sans, 6pt.
Except he had to abbreviate to keep the font size readable – "u li"
You mean, he's a nihilist?
and his wife has "oh please" tattooed on her labia.
his wife has "
ohbitch please" tattooed on her labiafixed.
The component was pulled from shelves because it made the barrel point at your own foot.
Only 999 were available? That's why I can't have nice things.
You sure it wasn't "666" available, just upside down.
Lieberman should come out with a line of engraved silver douchenozzles.
It's part of the whole Lieberman Bidet fixtures line. Because sometimes the sand of tyranny must be flushed from the snatch of liberty, and a Lieberman Is The Douchenozzle For The Job!™
That two-faced lying asshole is finally up for re-election, isn't he?
Time to start living on hobo beans so I can send money to his opponent.
The full size cut out of Obama with crosshairs…..errr… survey marks is optional.
The timing of this couldn't be better.
What, too soon?
Nope. no inflamatory rhetoric coming from the Right. Nope, not at all.
Isn't there some poster on Kos saying something dumb that the press could use to show both sides do it?
It's far more effective than the limited edition James Brady "Please stop doing that, it stings a bit" force field.
Hope Joe gets a kick back off of each sale to set up his legal defense fund for when someone gets killed with this thing. I believe that the picture of him holding that damn thing is an implicit endorsement.
Have the "Lyin' African Safari" T-shirts sold out, too?
Yes. Along with the, "They's Librul and They's Bleed" coffee mugs.
Help me out here guys: is this Jack's post here blood libel, too?
T
For all we know, those p-points should be going to your cat.
Only in the sense that he's talking about rednecks who are libel to start shootin' them some woosie liburals and spill their pinko blood.
Just when we thought Arizona was the conductor driving the crazy train, South Carolina ups the ante. Well played, SC. Well played.
Before it's all over, Texas and Kanssas will have a word to say about who's driving this blunder-bus. As will Florida, Kentucky, Virginia, Idaho, Utah . . .
Crazy trains are manufactured proudly in SC, low labor costs and dumb fucktards notwithstanding…..
WELCOME TO THE PALMETTO STATE
counting the days till graduation and escaping from dumb redneckistan
When I hold you in my arms
(Oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger
(Ooo, oh yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm
(Ooo, oh yeah)
Because happiness is a warm gun mama
(Bang bang, you lie)
The people who run the Palmetto State Armory are obviously libunatics out to get Obama, because Robert Byrd was in the KKK and shut up that's why.
Soooooo, there was a marketing meeting where this was pitched at a desk full of people, it was deemed feasible, and they contacted Wilson he and his staff approved, then it went onto a drafting table, guys were on the production line for it, engraving takes time and thought too, then some guys had to write a press release for it….NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD IDEA?!?!?!?!?! I guess South Carolina got fed up with AZ out crazying them. Keep up the good work SC! Without you my snarking diet would just be empty calories.
More like Joe Billy Earl with an engraving tool and spare time got the idea and set up in his garage. Sounds like the cangressman was not consulted.
Anyone who questioned it was shot, obviously.
But when she sees your "assault rifle" she'll whip out her "you lie" tattoo.
Unfortunately, the product page for this component is no longer available. Did the gun company see what happened in Arizona and take it down?
No, they're just preparing for their next limited edition, which will have "The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar" engraved on it in Comic Sans.
My new Strom Thurmond Memorial Edition blunderbuss will look great on the mantelpiece.
Oooh I adore the word "blunderbuss" .
I'm waiting for the 360' curved barrel extension so they can shoot themselves in the ass.
Surely with these people 180' is enough?
I am the way, the truth and the Light. No man comes to the Father except by my excellent marksmanship?
Oh come on, it's just a metaphor! When they say high powered rifle, they mean the high power of the VOTERS and Jesus. Stop blood libelling them.
Man, South Carolina is pissed about Arizona getting all teh krazee attention lately! Way to double down SC. Maybe you can get that guy that keeps raping the same horse to be a spoketard for your gun company. Top THAT, desert bitches!
If you are referring to Neal "my first girlfriend was a mule" Horsley, that's Georgia. It's a crowded field in the crazy state competition.
Naw, I meant this hipster (sorry I can't make a link pretty — too lazy/stupid/'Murkan):http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/07/29/2009-07-29_south_carolina_man_busted_for_having_sex_with_horse.html
Just in time for Valentine's Day.
Awesome. I fisted you for this.
The "This is a big fucking deal" assault rifle is guaranteed to shoot the operator in the foot.
I think that slogan would go on, like, bandages or something.
I'm gonna hold off for the "Trig" trigger.
which one's joe wilson? all those guys look the same…
John McCain sniper rifle with walnut stock.
Well done.
"henghhhh" engraved on the right barrel also too.
Unfortunately, you have to wait FIVE AND A HALF YEARS to get one.
Well they can't keep Glock 19s on the shelves in Arizona, so it seems that no matter our wishes to the contrary, this Joe Douche Wilson 2nd amendment marketing scheme will be a capitalism winner.
Ken have you thought of selling Joe Wilson douchebags on the Wonkette?
Selling Joe Wilson, douchebag would violate the 13th Amendment, though.
What self-respecting Wonkette lady would want anything associated with Joe Wilson anywhere near her lady bits?
They're saving that for a limited 2012 edition
On the other hand, democrats are selling a bulletproof vest with a picture of Obama saying "Please don't shoot me", so really both sides are engaging in violent rhetoric and it's unfair (and possibly lymph/ichor libel) to lay this all at the feet of conservatives.
Obama's Secret Service detail does she that he's sort of asking for it. After all, he wouldn't need it if he weren't a Muslim Commie Kenyan
So if I buy this rifle does that make me a liar, the gun a liar, or is it still directed at Obama? Or is this some sort of ironic anti-statement like "Ceci n'est pas une pipe"?
Ceci n'est pas une surveyor's symbol.
I'd have said "bazookas"
With complimentary (and complementary) leather "holsters?"
[/motorboating sound]
This would be perfect for the next time Joe Wilson decides to shoot his mouth off.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry honored with new 'Coyote Special' pistol after gunning down 'wily' critter: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/05/...
Yet to hit the shelves:
The John McCain 'Get Off My Lawn' Pump Shotgun
The Lindsey Graham Pink .357 Closet Special
The Joe Lieberman 'Shoot in All Directions' Assault Rife
Suck on that, nine-year olds!
Why couldn't Joe take up hiking instead of shooting (his mouth off and fancy guns); the only thing in danger then would be his career. I hear the Appalachian Trail will be open in the Spring. I really mean hiking, no way Joe Wilson is getting laid any time soon.
So does this stupid thing come armed and dangerous?
I'm waiting for the Steve "Racoon Killer" King .laser site to hit the shelves.
I'm going to start marketing a line of bullets under the name "Second Amendment Ballots."
So the message I'm getting these days is if you don't like the way someone looks/thinks, yell "You lie!" at them as loud as you can at inappropriate times. When that fails to stop the other person from his offending existence, you shouldn't retreat, reload instead! But not with a wimpy gun, with a gun designed to take out the person offending you with his mere existence as well as everyone within a 10-mile radius of him, and inscribed with "you lie!" so you can be sure he got the message this time.
And then when the police come, deny everything and claim second amendment rights. For freedom! I'm SUUUUUUUUUUURE Palin will be willing to contribute to your legal defense fund…
Martin Luther King said change must come,
Change must come
in a bullshit-embossed gun.
apologies to the Reverend Dr. (D. Wayne Love)
OT, but OMG *Drudge Sirens*, Westboro Baptist decides not to protest dead 9-year-old-girl's funeral.
Dead Federal Court Judge's funeral is still GAME ON, but still!
This is why people risk their lives to get to US America, people! Don't you recognize a peaceful democracy when you see one???
No tote bags or coffee mugs on the NPR fundraising drive this year. They're going with the Extended Magazine Shelf and a CD of Glock's 9th in AZ Minor.
$99.95 for that POS? Are we sure this was not another one of the Son of Erikkk's get rich quick schemes?
I briefly tried to imagine who the hell would actually buy one of these and what they would actually use it for (shooting beer empties comes to mind), but then a kind of gray fog rolled over me, and I was left adrift. Floating atop slowly bobbing cultural debris….
There's a joke about phallic symbols and penis size in here somewhere.
This will go well with my COON HUNTERS (wink wink) license plate.
If you have one of these nifty items AND the coon hunters license plate, does your gun automatically point in the direction of Obama?

Is there anything in the Constitution that allows us to place South Carolina on waivers, trade them for a state to named later, give them to the Bahamas, dig a mile-wide moat with no bridges around the state or just dome the whole place and supply them with ample guns and spam and let the herd rapidly thin to a whimper.
I was really, really, really hoping to go to this website and find out that this had just been released this week.
I have no problem with this asshole with his own "special" gun.
As long as it was loaded with bullets that said "NO, YOU LIE!!!" and would curve back around and shoot this lying asshole dead on the ground, thus comitting the first in a series of Teabagger YOU LIE ASIDE's…
South Carolina? Is that state still in the Union? If it happens to be… WHY?
On My way from Florida to that other enlightened place, Virginia, I drive I-26 as fast as I can
If conservatives are supposedly so better mannered than us unwashed hippies why do they worship obnoxious behavior with such relish?
I sense a lie . . .
Joe Wilson couldn't scare up 999 people with a goddamned e-mail? These bubbas had to put their local political suckling on the web to sell out the minimum factory order size?
Then again, this is South Carolina, right? Wherein I personally overheard a white man affably address a black clerk by the most offensive racial slurs, things I had never heard anyone utter aloud before. Yeah, we were on vacation, queued up at the gas station counter. Just an everyday thing, I suppose, and now I get to add stupidity to the list.
You sure the production run was until 666.
It looks like Palmetto has pulled this atrocity from their web site.
