The USO Entertained Revolutionary War Troops With Dogfighting and Cockfighting -- Betcha' Didn't Learn That One in History Class . . .

Some day there is going to be an entire wing of academic psychological study devoted to trying to identify exacly what kind of post-modern brain disease has afflicted the Tea Party crowd:

Observe:

Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Matt Bevin continued to address his presence at a rally for supporters of legalizing cockfighting by saying America's Founding Fathers were very involved in the cockfighting world too.

"But it's interesting when you look at cockfighting and dogfighting as well," Bevin said in an interview on the Terry Meiners Show on Louisville's WHAS on Thursday. "This isn't something new, it wasn't invented in Kentucky for example. I mean the Founding Fathers were all many of them very involved in this and always have been [sic.]"

The comments come less than a week after Bevin attended the rally. He's since said that he thought the rally was actually for supporters of states' rights.

Ok - so allow The Gadfly, at risk of mortal damage to his brain and senses, to analyze this.

Tea Party candidate Matt Bevin, who is challenging Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, goes to a cockfighting rally to drum up campaign support -- because it makes sense that the kind of people Bevin appeals to, quite simply put, would be in abundance at such an event - no?  Anyhow - so when word gets out to the media about it, Bevin feigns supreme ignorance by claiming that he thought it was just an innocuous gathering of state's rights supporters.  Not satisfied with that level of duplicitous buffoonery, Bevin kicks up the bamboozling stupidity a notch or three by subsequently claiming that it's no big deal because America's founding fathers were big fans of cockfighting and dogfighting, therefore -- it's all good.

Sigh . . . . . now The Gadfly's brain is hurting....

They're not even making an effort to hide their sociopathy any more.  It is on full-throat display for all to see and be horrified by.

How any sane American can continue to support and be associated with these psychotic quacks is leagues beyond The Gadfly's comprehension.
