The Democrats love old Joe Stalin. They couldn’t send one of their own to make an inapt comparison. So they send their stooge, Flakey.
Think about it for a moment: a member of the GOP—a senator no less—comparing the head of the party and president of the United States to the greatest mass murderer in modern history.

And not even John McCain, Linday Graham, or Little Marco Rubio. Is McCain still resting in Arizona?

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake apologizes for teen son’s slur-filled Twitter, Facebook postings

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ariz-sen-aplogizes-teen-son-online-slurs-article-1.1371590

Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a devout Mormon and family man, has apologized for homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic comments posted online by his teenage son.

The high schooler, Tanner, posted the offensive remarks in February and March. In one message he threatened the “f——t” who stole his motorcycle from a church parking lot and frequently used the N word in a series of Facebook postings.

The Republican lawmaker said he was “very disappointed” in his son’s online behavior.

“This language is unacceptable, anywhere. Needless to say, I’ve already spoken with him about this, he has apologized, and I apologize as well,” the senator said in a statement.

The GOP politician recently brought his son Tanner into the spotlight by publicizing a survival expedition they had embarked on, making public the father-son bonding experience on his Facebook page.

Tanner Flake’s offensive Twitter postings were originally reported by BuzzFeed.

“To the f——t who stole my dirt bike from the church parking lot, I will find you, and I will beat the crap out of you,” the boy, whose Twitter handle is @tflakey, wrote on March 20.

“I’m down to own some f——ts,” he wrote in February, in a tweet directed at another Twitter user.

His tweets also included an anti-Semitic message directed at an undisclosed Twitter user.

“Say something hilarious, and I guarantee that ... will say it louder and get all the credit. Jew,” he tweeted in February.

Arizona is filled with a bunch of brain dead people to elect the likes of mclame and flake of the world... One of the reasons I'd be very leery of living there.

Maybe you'd prefer Hawaii, or California, or Washington, or Illinois, ...

I'll stay in AZ where I can carry any firearm I want without imperial interference.

Flake has been a disappointment. He deceived his constituency. McLame had a viable primary opponent (Kelli Ward) in his Republican primary, but her "truther" background (whether real or falsely charged) successfully discredited her. But in the general election we had the choice between McLame and Kirkpatrick, a pro-abort, climate-alarmist, Keynsian, anti-RKBA-deceiver, pro-amnesty, pro-CISPA and pro-Obamacare Demonrat.

Flake knew his time was up. McLame is living on borrowed time. Will AZ elect a pro-Trump candidate or something worse? I'm be working for the former.
