Martin Scorsese hates America?

Martin Scorsese hates America? I got this "compare" flier in the mail today from the RNC. Sean Hannity and James Dobson "stand" with Dick Devos.... but did you know that Jennifer Granholm is the real hipster?
This post was deleted for the following reason: metafilter is about *linking* to *other stuff* out on the web, not scans of your mail
Self-linking is bad.

Nothing says moral fortitude like prison photos. Convicted criminals stand with Dick Devos, and he's damn proud of that.

Yes. Metafilter is for something you find on the web, not something you put on the web. This has been discussed repeatedly in Metatalk.

I'm surprised DeVos hasn't been endorsed by the hundreds of thousands of happy,wealthy Amway/Quixtar distributors...oh that's right, they got ripped off. I guess the Chuck Coloson endorsement works, one crook endorsing another.

Metafilter is not "Best of Political Direct Mail Marketing", it is "Best of the Web". I could scan all kinds of intersting shit I find in my mailbox and put it on my blog and link to it but that doesn't make the cabbage that looks like Saddam Hussein that I found at Fairway "Best of the Web".

Aw, that totally rules out me linking to the scans from the illiterate but kind of endearing handtyped mailings I got from the Jehova's Witnesses.
Wait... that guy's name is Dick Devos? Seriously. The big double D is running for office? Snap! Dickie! Do that whip it song!
I know one person on Dick's list (Hannity) and I happen to loathe that person. Are the rest supposed to be people I would know if I were a jingo swilling right wing bloggy reader.

I LOVE religious mailings. One of my favorites is a 'Jesus Prayer Rug' printed on paper. His eyes are closed, but supposedly if you pray to him long enough they will open, full of love and compassion.

It's to make them look 'serious' and 'mature.' It's also what the vast, vast majority of women their age wear outside of politics (based on Michigan).
But Granholm was a beauty queen, yeah.
And we've already got Dick DEVOs graffiti around here, which has him in the flowerpot hats. It's hilarious.
But yeah, when I saw this I immediately thought that it was circulated by Dems.
