Lindsey Graham is almost over come with the vapors during Fox News interview about ISIL.

Senator Graham sat down with Fox News this morning, and well he kind of lost his shit.

You know I have plenty of experience transcribing lunacy from my years of doing so for our favorite batshit crazy half term governor, but I do declare that Graham gives her a run for her money.

Take little peek into the mind of somebody on the verge of a full blown nervous breakdown.

First let's get the Hitler comparison out of the way:

"The first thing I want to tell the America people, from my point of view it is our fight. It is not just their fight. This is a radical Islamic army that's pushing the theory of a master religion. Not a master race like the Nazis."

So they are just like Hitler, in that they also hate the Jews, but instead of co-opting the Catholic church to help spread their ideology they are sticking with their perverse brand of Islam.

Please continue Foghorn Leghorn.

“It’s about protecting millions of people throughout the world from a radical Islamic army. They’re intending to come here. So, I will not let this president suggest to the American people we can outsource our security and this is not about our safety. There is no way in hell you can form an army on the ground in Syria to destroy ISIL without a substantial American component. And to destroy ISIL you have to kill or capture their leaders, take the territory they hold back, cut off their financing, and destroy their capability to regenerate."

Hey does that kind of sound like religious genocide to anybody else?

I mean I think ISIL needs to be stopped as well, but isn't this a little Crusade-y for this day and age?

And then Graham really starts with the hysterics.

“This is a war we’re fighting! This is not a counter-terrorism operation! This is not Somalia, this is not Yemen! This is a turning point in the war on terror! Our strategy will fail yet again! This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home!” 

Holy crap! I think this is usually the part in the move where John Wayne slaps the woman to get her to calm down. 

When the host suggests to Graham that his plan of making this an America fight would only attract more people to join ISIL and that the best way to handle this is to support the indigenous forces, Graham just about comes unglued.

"Apparently nobody's been listening to what Senator McCain and I have been saying for the last three years."

That could be because the both of them are constantly calling for the military to invade every country who gives us the finger, and destroy every political faction that won't kiss Graham's countrified ass cheeks when he and McCain stop by for a visit.

Graham continues on to warn that it will require American boots on the ground to "go in there and dig these guys out," and that failing to do so will have the following result:

“They will open the gates of hell to spill out on the world,” he said.

Yeah, okay Screaming Mimi, let's not get our panties in a twist.

It is true that this will not be easy, and it will undoubtedly require more of a military commitment than what is being proposed right now, however what is also true is that the President can only do so much without the support of Congress. (A Congress we should be reminded who is currently threatening to sue him for taking executive actions and doing things without their approval.)

And that approval is not expected to be coming any time soon.

So if Graham and McCain are so all fired ready to send American troops back into Iraq, then the first place they need to start working is to convince their own party of that need, and lay off pissing and moaning about the President's unsatisfying response.

President Obama is doing the best that he can with the little that the Republicans have left him to work with.

Personally I think that if John McCain and his Southern belle think that the solution to the Iraq situation is American boots on the ground then they need to strap on a parachute, grip a bowie knife between their dentures, and have a military transport drop their wrinkled asses right into the middle of the conflict.

But don't forget, America does NOT deal with terrorists or pay for the release of hostages.

    McCain and Graham never offer any proposals on how to pay for all of their wars, but when it comes to increasing the debt ceiling the two lead the charge against government spending. I've never heard any reporter call them out on this.

    I think Lindsay Graham should change his name to Scarlett and John McCain should change his to Rhett. They make quite a pair, dontcha think? They need to rein their daughter Queen Scarah in.

  3. Lindsay has always reminded me of a crazed donkey boy scout. He's always ready to patriotically send other people's children to die while he brays his lunacy at the President. He and his sidekick McCain can kiss our asses. Anyway, who trusts John McCain's judgement---yaknowwhattImean?

  4. You know and I know, that if the President goes to Congress with an all out war proposal, the GOP will have no choice but to back down. I think that's coming. Obama has always been three steps ahead of these jokers. His speech was very strong, and they are still wringing their handerchiefs between their hands and whining like 2 year olds. As always.
    Personally, I do not think this is our fight, and if people want to keep their American heads, they should get the heck out. ISIL is baiting the GOP, and they are too wrapped up in their OBama hatred to see it.

    Politics aside, if Lindsey Graham had as many dicks sticking out of him as he's had stuck in him, he'd look like a fuckin porcupine .

    "This is a radical Islamic army that's pushing the theory of a master religion. "

    This from the party that claims the U.S. is a Christian nation, builds monuments of the Ten Commandments on government property, tries to ban abortion and birth control, passes legislation defining marriage, wants creationism taught in public schools, puts Bibles in military hospitals, and wants to force everyone to follow the laws of Christianity (assuming they can agree on WHICH kind of Christianity is the approved one).

    Nope, no hypocrisy here, folks.

    Where was Graham and all the rest of these Republican shits when 20 of our babies were turned into steak tar tar by a fellow American with a military weapon?

    Now that is something to wage war against.

    But the shits like Palin are such cowards. Home of the brave? LOL...they only feel brave when they have a metal extension between their legs....

    O/T:The Sarah Palin Fartknocker Report: Two Jews Walk Into Wasilla

    Read more at http://wonkette.com/560210/the-sarah-palin-fartknocker-report-two-jews-walk-into-wasilla#lY0RYqeJz8MtZg5f.99

    Notice how during the video Sarah is totally conscious of showing off her Twinflatable Peaks by keeping one arm or the other back on the chair. Then when she pulls the microphone up through her sleazy sparkly top she STILL has no cleavage. Bet she tried on every skirt in her closet looking for the shortest one.

    Graham has always been an embarrassment to those of us with any intelligence in SC - and even those who don't, but it will take them a little longer to see that. Like losing a few hundred more of their children.

    I just wish Strom would wake up and slap the shit out of him! Then again, if he DID, Lindsey would disappear.

    Hhhmmm. Wouldn't that be nice?

      Damn Right! Wonder how much Lovey and Mitt will send from their off shore accounts? McCain married eleven or so mansions, wonder how many he'll sell? How about all of congress giving up their pay, health care, and vacation days??

    Gryphen, this is one of your best! I hope many of the new people visiting your site will become fans. (Like I did, way back in 2008.)

    Miss Lindsey needs to go away and take McGramps with her.

    Pushing a master religion..... sounds familiar, I have lost count of how many times I have been asked if I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and if not (I haven't, nor will I) than I will burn in HELL.

    How come Ms. Lindsey doesn't remember that his buddy McCain was calling to arm ISIL a short while ago in order to get rid of the Syrian dictator? Senior Moment?

    I am sick and tired of these war mongers. Everyone is always crabbing about how much money we send to Israel, how about all the money we send to the Arab nations, we gave Saudia Arabia their air force, where are they?
    We armed the Iraqis and when the fighting gets tough, they run off and leave the weapons behind.

    Just think of all the good we could have done right here in the USA with all the wasted money on two wars, let alone all the lives lost or damaged.

    We finally learn why John McCain is always, always on our ‘news’

    .....He knows what he's talking about, though? Really, we're doing this again? All right:
    Ahem. The majority of John McCain's foreign policy positions over the last fifteen years are notable for being spectacularly wrong. He didn't know "what he was talking about" when he was making the rounds asserting Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He didn't know "what he was talking about" when he dismissed the scale and the potential casualties of the war, or when he claimed our Iraq intervention would "stabilize" the region. He didn't know "what he was talking about" when he went to Syria to insist that we should be arming the "good" rebels while getting photographs with "good" rebels who turned out to be terrorists. To have faith that John McCain knows what he's talking about is, at this point, akin to having faith that your room full of typing monkeys will be producing the next great American novel any day now. Oh, he has strong positions, I'll give you that one. It's just that the strong positions tend to—how shall we say this politely?—get a lot of people killed. ......

    But he's too chickenshit to go on any other news show except Fox. Poor Miss Lindsey really blew a fuse because nobody's been taking his advice for at least the last three years.

    They got what happened after this on you tube:
