This Is Grant

Grant was standing by the light rail station last night after Bill Clinton's speech. He had a big banner that read "Deport Barack Hussein Obama" and the name of his organization, Young Obama Haters. What's his message for these people walking by him? "Free ride's over. Work or starve. No mercy. Liberals, pack your lunch." But what does all that mean? "Americans are getting lazy," Grant said, because "illegal immigrants are taking their work. Why doesn't [Obama] allow [out of work Americans] to have jobs?"

Grant said he's traveled all around the country on a tour from his home state of Idaho to Washington, Montana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, the RNC in Tampa, and Virginia. He said he's only gotten arguments from people here in Charlotte and in Michigan. He figures this is a good sign that Obama will lose in November. Is he a Mitt Romney fan? "Anybody but Obama." Why does his sign say he wants to "deport" Barack Obama? Grant said it "seems sketchy" to him that "it took him three years to produce his birth certificate, and then it was was only on the internet."

"Oh! I forgot this," Grant said. He made like he was about to tell a good joke and said, "If they want to have gays in the military, let them have their own branch, and see how long they last." He chuckled to himself. "That's a good one. That would've gone over real well here." I started walking toward the train. Grant called after me, "Hey! Am I an asshole and a half, or what?" He looked pleased with himself. Eh, I said, I've seen worse.

I bet he just looks adorable with his legs in their air and a cock in his butt begging to be fucked harder but the crying afterwards is probably a big turn off.

He's not doughy and pasty enough to be a real conservative, and his question at the end makes me think performance art.

Well, he IS from Idaho; so there's probably some good odds he comes from some backwoods white supremacist cult...

That said, @2, you win!

But I like his idea of a gay branch of the military. It could be the gavy. Or the pinkerines.

@2, I thought performance art too. That being said though, I thought Westboro Baptist was performance art gone wrong at first.

Still #2.. YOU WIN SLOG !!!

Aw. Remember when you were 13 and thought it would be SO COOL to be a psychopath? I guess this manchild still does...?

Seriously, though, the only thing more repellent than an actual psycho is someone who desperately wants to be one.

He just wants 1 reason Obama should be reelected? How about so Obamacare doesn't go away and ignorant unemployed libertarian twits like himself can avoid going bankrupt when they come down with pneumonia from too many days hitchhiking.

BTW, I really appreciate how he equated segregated gay units so perfectly with segregated black units in the army.

I don't blame all those folks for not wanting to argue with this guy. He's obviously got his mind made up already and is just going out of his way to be an IRL troll. I'd have better things to do, too.

I think I like Grant better than the pro-life Christian ogre from the previous thread. Like, if I were being forced hang out with, or give a blow job to just one of them, I'd probably go with Grant here.

The dude is so angry and so empty that I stopped taking him seriously even before his aimless dig at gay soldiers.

Stick to Youtube comments, Grant. It'll save you money.

7 and 10, you may raise the victory flag for #2, but after a long slackered study of Slog, the funniest, most knowledgeable, and most necessary commenter has been declared to be.....pope peabrain

No mercy. Liberals, pack your lunch.


Pack your lunch? Are we all going somewhere together? Can I just buy food when we get there? What does this even mean? Stoops.

At least he says "work or starve". I've been waiting for right wingers to be honest about their ultimate outlook on life forever. Most of them give you some BS about charity. No, fuck that, you want just want all the have nots to get steamrolled over by society. And that's fine I guess. We can have that conversation. We can talk about there being too many people exploiting the hard work of others and that the world is overpopulated. But god help you the second you come down against abortion or birth control in that case, you self-righteous fucks.

I'm gonna start carying a playing card in my sleeve, upon which I'll write "Anybody but Obama!" and I'll go around asking republicans if they think Romney would make a good president. After they answer this way, I'll whip it out, and suddenly I'm David Blaine.

@21, you have to be on Slog for at least three years before you can call winners of Slog.

Thanks for playing though

@6: He might belong to the Southern fratboy wing of conservative blowhards rather than the Cheeto powder dusted basement dweller division.

As a man currently wearing khaki cargo shorts I feel compelled to point out that Grant does not represent my opinions.

Well....at least he admitted he was an asshole....Maybe there's hope for him....being self-aware and all....

Aww who the fuck am I kidding?!? Screw him and his kids! Deport them back to wherever the hell they came from! No more free rides for hitchhikers.

It's like Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Max had a down-low gay love child.

Little known fact: there's a lot of lead in Idaho's mine tailings, and it's contaminated a lot of residential areas where kids like Grant grow up. I'm just saying...

Check out the dude's website - he's in the t-shirt selling biz. All you're doing is giving this shameless twit free advertising.

#25, as an example

See this guy basically committed a hate crime in your face and you tittered away laughing because he is the blonde white western boy that wets your whistles (man and woman).

Slog...hypocrisy dressed as journalism.

@42, you may not be aware of this, old fella, but comments on blog posts are not actually considered "journalism" just because they appear on your computer typewriter machine screen. They're more like conversations overheard in bars, which you might once have called "speakeasies."

It's disappointing to see Grant come to this. He needs to get back to Green Lake and take some more pictures of shopping carts.
