State Rep. Joe Salazar (D-Box of Rocks) ain’t the brightest bulb in the legislative bunch in Colorado. He has a well-known propensity for staying stupid and offensive things, from claiming college women aren’t capable of knowing when they’re about to be raped to retweeting a joke about anally raping Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
This trend continues today, with a reader tipping us off to some more of Salazar’s online antics.
It turns out Salazar is a member of a Facebook group titled F.U.C.K. Buck, a seeming attack outlet set up during Weld County DA Ken Buck’s 2010 run for the U.S. Senate. Only it doesn’t seem to have many members left besides the esteemed membership of Rep. Salazar.
We can’t wait to read Alicia Caldwell’s next column, talking about how it’s just Facebook and this is really no big deal.
UPDATE: Apparently nobody told Salazar to clean up his social media accounts before running for office. On his Facebook page is a note called “25 Random Things About Me” which has some rather, um, odd items:
1. where most guys are “boobs” or “butt” guys, i am a “hands” guy.
4. i can’t use a public restroom to go big potties
16. i believe December 21, 2012, will be a pivotal moment in human history. (Peak note: Mayan apocalypse)
16. i’m scared to death of Bigfoot! (Peak note: Yes, he has two #16s)
22. i think atheists are a bunch of idiots.
23. i think fundamentalist christians are a bunch of idiots too.
It seems to me that part of the plan is to flood the media with so much false and partially true stories, that to become an informed voter is too much for many to wade through all of the garbage. To me, being an informed voter is an extremely important part of my life, but clearly, many can't find the time, or just don't care enough. There are so many lies out there it would be a full time job sorting through all of it.
They sad thing is that people voted for him. What is happening to the informed voter? They are becoming extinct.
I think you are being nice with the Box of Rocks comment.
