"[I]ts only intention was to bring a smile to a few peoples faces, and possibly irritate a few others. Is it fair? Does that matter? It wasn't intended to be fair. It was intended to be funny."—Randy Brown, webmaster for the Minnesota GOP website, who posted a video titled "Republican Women vs Democrat Women," featuring undoctored images of conservative women set to Tom Jones' "She's a Lady" followed by doctored images of liberal women, and/or images of them making weird expressions, set to "Who Let the Dogs Out?".
(Note that the video is not merely misogynist, but transphobic, homophobic, and racist as well.)
"Is it fair? Does that matter?" pretty much sums up the entire GOP platform these days.
