Sore he.he.hemmoroids, poor sick ratbastards. You would think Obama and Holder would be smart enough to have some foresight.
“thank” you Obama for such leadership.

2. You will hate the Jooos and eliminate them, even if you have to crawl through the snow.

3. Women are haram and you must treat them like dogs.

4. Behead anyone who draws a cartoon of Mo.

5. That's pretty much allah for now.
