TOO FUNNY! Dem Thinks NASCAR Infested
Democrat Panel Rep Thinks NASCAR Fans Infested, Advises Visitor Vacinations
By Lisa Zagaroli
Getting a hepatitis shot is standard procedure for travelers to parts of Africa and Asia, but some congressional aides were instructed to get immunized before going to Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord and the racetrack in Talladega, Ala.
The House Homeland Security Committee planned a fact-finding trip about public health preparedness at mass gatherings and decided to conduct the research at two of the nation's most heavily attended sporting events, NASCAR's Bank of America 500 event this weekend and the UAW-Ford 500 last weekend.
Staff who organized the trips advised the NASCAR-bound aides to get a range of vaccines before attending -- hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria and influenza.
Rep. Robin Hayes, a Republican from Concord, took umbrage when he heard about it.
"I have never heard of immunizations for domestic travel, and as the representative for Concord, N.C., I feel compelled to ask why the heck the committee feels that immunizations are needed to travel to my hometown," Hayes said in an Oct. 5 letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chairs the Homeland Security panel.
"I have been to numerous NASCAR races, and the folks who attend these events certainly do not pose any health hazard to congressional staffers or anyone else," Hayes added.

You can't make up this stuff, folks. What do you think folks would've said if he'd said this about a Juneteenth celebration or Cinco de Mayo?

This can be a good thing, Donal.
Let them insult NASCAR fans and the South in general.
But watch some prominent Democrats from the South put a lot of distance between them and this latest idiocy from the minds of Dhimmicrats. If they want to get reelected, that is.
Congress right now has the lowest approval ratings ever recorded -- and despite the media's best attempts to portray otherwise, much of the reason is that Americans are being reminded of why they voted out the Dhimmicrats to begin with.
So, speak away Reid ... Pelosi ... and all you Dhimmicrat nutjobs. Seal your fate forever in the South.

I thought it was outrageous--not sorry they shot themselves in the foot, though...!
Arnold do you remember the Dems during the last Prez election? Thery tried HARD for months to court the NASCAR vote but eventually just gave it up. They're elitist bastards and it's obvious to all but the densest. I guess their efforts at NASCAR gained them a total of 15,000 votes throughout 20 states? LOL!
We went to Talladega 5 years ago and it was fun!

Oh I forgot to ask, what's Juneteenth? I've heard it before but don't know what it is. Thanks,
Morgan
It was rather ludicrous! And rather insulting, but an insult from 'certain' people can really be a compliment!
Rock on, NASCAR!

MORGAN--'Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is an annual holiday in fourteen states of the United States. Celebrated on June 19, it commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas. "
Black people around the USA group up and use it as their summer holiday, kind of like July 4th. In Denver, there was always lot of park and street parties--and in many cities like Philly, Baltimore, Cinci etc. there's been shootings and trouble on that day and into the night....
What kind of nonsense is this? Morgan, don't tell me that you didn't get vaccinated for your Talladaga trip!
I want to know if Morgan's rabies shots are up to date? ;)

RIGHT NOW the idiot black congressman who told them to get "NASCAR shots" is lying about why he recommended it.
Thanks for the explanation about Juneteenth.

Well if this isn't the limit, I don't know what is! yes sir, the Lefties are so much like the Nazis alright. This thinly vailed attempt to paint NASCAR fans as some kind of ''subhuman'' inbreeds who aren't inocculated. The Nazis used to do things like this by ''studying'' the ''untermensch'' Jews, Slavs, Gypsises using the dicredited scince of phrenology, studying the shape of the skull as a means of determning intelligence, taking blood samples to study the ''diferences in blood types, the Aryan'' as oppossed th the sub-humans and other such racist garbage. And they always call we conservatives "Nazis''. What an insult this was. J'Mac.
