CHEAP LAUGHS

Iowa’s Bob Vander Plaats Loves A Good “Faggot” Joke. So How About Racist Ones?

Remember The Family Leader’s Bob Vander Plaats, the Iowa conservative who wrote “The Marriage Vow”? Both Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum signed the “Vow” thus pledging to defy all three branches of government in a quest to rid America of abortion, porn, promiscuity and return to the good ol’ days of slavery!

Well Vander Plaats is not only a great writer of racist screeds he’s also got a knee-slapping sense of humor! Just check out this March 2011 Audubon, Iowa event where he says that many Iowans worried about becoming “the butt of jokes” for its Supreme Court declaring same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional. Then one of the attendees tells this gut-busting joke: Iowa, the state where you can’t smoke a fag, but you can marry one.

And Vander Plaats responds, “Oh shoot, that’s pretty good, that’s pretty good. Oh shoot.” Remember this is the guy who says that homosexuality if worse than smoking, so of course he finds cigarette-fag joke high-lair-ious.

Let’s safely assume that since he also opposes safe abortion and thinks that black families were better off during the civil war, that he probably also finds sexist and racist jokes funny too.

If you think that’s funny we got a fag that you can smoke right here, laughing boys.
