I'm not sure what's more offensive: the sentiment or the shitty layout and font choice. |
The Internet: "preserving all the stupid shit you say, since 1992." |
He defended himself to Cleveland.com, an Ohio news site, saying:
"Look, that's a meme. And it's how I feel about liberals, but did I mean that God is going to punish everyone who lives in California? No. It's a figure of speech, and I probably shouldn't have done it. But I did, and it doesn't change how I feel about what's happened in California."

self-appointed
spokesman for God
A figure of speech about how funny he thinks it is that dozens have died and thousands more have had their lives ruined? That's how he feels about Californians? Doesn't that make him, and I don't want arm chair diagnose here, but doesn't that make him a sociopath?
"Now to the extent that that meme would have offended or hurt someone in California, yes, that's not the intent, and I don't think that's what it says. But you know, it's in the eyes of the beholder, and so if it offended anyone that had a loss of life, then I'm sorry. That was not my intent, and anybody who knows me knows better."
You know what? I do want to arm-chair diagnose him and yes, this totally makes him a sociopath. |
Look, I'm not the arbiter of what is and isn't funny, but generally speaking if houses are still on fire, it's too soon to make jokes. |
-Dave Johnson's conditional
apology to anyone too
sensitive to take a joke

If Dennis Miller has taught us anything it's that conservatives are, by nature, unfunny. |
And as for his suggestion that he can just say whatever hateful horseshit that comes to mind because people who really know him think he's swell, I think he's forgetting that he's some county party official from Ohio who would have remained safely anonymous had he not sent out his dumb meme. Instead he's now that asshole who joked about people killed by a natural disaster. So like, bravo Dave. You're famous.
"I didn't say I want liberals to die in a fire, I just said that it'd be funny if they did."
