Primary day in Kansas is this week, one of Sarah's endorsees is



From Kansas.com

Ted Nugent has endorsed Kris Kobach for re-election as secretary of state.

The rocker, famous for such hits as “Cat Scratch Fever” and “Wango Tango,” posted a Facebook message Wednesday, urging his fans to donate to Kobach’s campaign.

The message praises Kobach as a brave warrior fighting on the front lines against “enemies of America,” a group that according to Nugent includes President Barack Obama and his supporters.

“I swear to God we the people damn well better get crackin & support the few brave warriors who stand with us & the US Constitution & Bill of Rights ABSOLUTELY everytime! Kris Kobach is our ass kickin BloodBrother & on the frontlines taking on the America hating ObamaGang at every turn,” Nugent wrote. “Please help Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach drop a ‘money bomb’ on Facebook! We may not live in KS, but Kris takes our fight directly to the enemies of America everyday!”

Kobach said he was honored by the praise in a phone call on Friday.

“I’m honored to have Ted’s support. He’s a friend and a hunting colleague,” he said. “And, you know, I hope that there’s Americans across the country who share our vote for the right to keep and bear arms who will contribute.”

Nugent, an outspoken supporter of gun rights and other conservative causes, has caused controversy in the past with his statements about Obama. In 2007, Nugent suggested during a concert that Obama, at that point a senator and candidate for president, “suck on my machine gun.”

Kobach said Nugent “expresses his opinions forcefully. It’s just the way he is. And he’s a real patriot and has become a national leader in the defense of our right to keep and bear arms. He doesn’t run his comments by me for editing before he expresses them, nor should he.”

Nugent posted a photograph of him and Kobach at the bottom of his message. Kobach has his hand on Nugent’s shoulder; Nugent is holding a machine gun.

The photo was taken when Kobach helped on a campaign to make it legal to hunt wild hogs from helicopters in Texas in 2011.

Scott Morgan, Kobach’s opponent in the Aug. 5 Republican primary, sent out a release Thursday in which he said the post was evidence that Kobach lives in “a bizarro world detached from reality.”

“The self-appointed Guardian of State Sovereignty needs to stop shooting pigs from helicopters in Texas with Ted Nugent and start focusing on his job in Kansas,” Morgan said. “In what parallel universe does this happen that you have Ted Nugent say ‘Here’s a picture of us hunting hogs together in Texas just before we rallied to legalize helicopter pig hunting! Yes, Kris & I did that!!’?”
Kobach said he is sometimes asked by officials and activists in other states to help on an issue and if he has time apart from his official schedule he is happy to do so. He said that Morgan likely does not understand the extent of damage caused by wild hogs in Texas.

“In the Texas case, it was a no-brainer. Texans asked me for help to address this crisis and it would only take me a few hours to help them, and what good American would say no?” Kobach said.

Nugent provides his fans with a link to Kobach’s campaign website and recommends a donation of $17 or $76.

“The Leftists and commies are working overtime to defeat him in this year’s election. Let’s help him reload so he can keep up the fight! Please make a contribution of $17, or $76 (as in 1776),” he said.

Sarah Palin pals around with pedophile Ted Nugent.  Ted Nugent endorses you.  Nothing can go wrong right Kris? 

Speaking of Ted, he is suffering backlash now:

 Ted Nugent continues to shed concert dates, with the controversial rocker seeing two more scheduled shows get axed in the wake of racially-charged comments made earlier this year, including calling President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel.”

The concerts, originally set for Aug. 2-3 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash., were scuttled after members of the Puyallup Tribe (which runs the casino) made unspecified “threats” in regards to the Nuge’s booking, due to his public statements.

Fred Phelps protege running for state school board in Kansas

 From Gawker

Get to know Jack Wu, a God-fearing Christian man running for a seat on the Kansas Board of Education.

Here are a few key points: Wu thinks evolution is a "satanic lie," he believes most of us are going to hell, and he's an active member of the Westboro Baptist Church, those assholes with the "God Hates Fags" signs.

He also loves reality TV.

In other words, Wu is a complete nightmare, but he doesn't care what you think of him.

 The truth matters more than the opinion of other men and women. The Bible says if you're hated by other people for taking a stance that's not popular, it's like a sign you're chosen by God, almost.

Unfortunately for Wu, God doesn't vote. And Wu is going to need a lot of help: so far, his campaign contributions total five dollars.

Nevertheless, Wu's opponent Carolyn Campbell is taking him seriously. It's a critical time for Kansas, as the state seeks to adopt new standards that would teach evolution and leave out creationism entirely. Wu is obviously against these changes — but then, he believes public education is already "preparing its students to be liars, crooks, thieves, murderers, and perverts."

Here are Wu's campaign goals, as outlined on his (amazingly bad) website:

 Evolution should never be taught in public schools as science. Evolution is false science! God made the heaven and the earth and created humans from the dust of the earth! The very bad teachers that teach that men descended from apes via evolution need to have their teaching licenses revoked. Yes, students should be taught that God created everything.
School administrators are always complaining about budget problems and lack of funding for this or that. Haha, that's funny. I have a really simple solution to solve that problem: Eliminate funding for evolution textbooks and pseudo-education. We'll save a ton of money! Tell those evolution textbook publishers to recycle their waste of paper, and tell those evolution teachers to teach truths instead of lies.

Why isn't anyone else talking about these incredible money-saving techniques? Let's not rule them out just because they're insane.

Wu has at least one semi-endorsement from WBC spokesman Jonathan Phelps, who said, "I think he's a nice guy."

When someone who protests military funerals calls you "nice," it's probably time to do some serious self-reflection.

I think it's safe to say this guy isn't going to get elected dog catcher, let alone school board member.  But then again this is Kansas.

I checked out his website and all I can say is Oh. My. God.  Maybe he can get Sarah Palin, the Bachmanns, and Paul Ryan to endorse him.

Here is his bio:

Jack Wu grew up in Hayward, California. He attended a public elementary school there and was introduced to the theory of evolution at that school. Jack fell victim to the lies of his evil teachers and thought evolution was real science for a time.

After elementary school, Jack attended a private "Christian" school. There, Jack was taught that God created the world and the universe. At first, Jack stuck with his old pseudo-science evolution-based cosmology. However, the light of the holy scriptures burned all those trashy concepts away. Jack now knows that God is the Creator of all things.

Jack moved to Topeka, Kansas after seeing the light of Westboro Baptist Church. There, he found people that loved and served the Lord their God sincerely. The church stands amidst the evil city of Topeka, whose citizens among other things tried to burn down the church.
