Todd Kincannon: the GOP’s New Spokesman

The Republican Party continues to try on new costumes in their ongoing attempt to shed their image and reach more voters.  Their newest poster boy is Todd Kincannon, former head of the South Carolina Republican Party.

Some of his recent tweets have exemplified — crystallized — what the GOP is trying to say.  After this year’s Super Bowl, Todd Kincannon tweeted:

“This Super Bowl sucks more dick than adult Trayvon Martin would have for drug money.”

Meh.  Not too bad.  But Todd Kincannon was just warming up.  He perfected his technique, and the GOP’s message, when he lashed out at Michael Prysner, an Iraq war veteran who was against the war and who had defended Hugo Chavez.  His tweets included:

“What do you get when you combine asshattery and jizzwhistlery with a side of epic douchebaggery? Why, you get @MikePrysner!”

“This cocksucker @MikePrysner insults American policemen yet thinks Hugo Chavez, currently burning in Hell, was a misunderstood humanitarian.”

“You are an Iraq veteran?  Shame you didn’t come home in a body bag.”

“I wish the Iraqis had better aim with his ass.  Yes, I hope if that guy is ever in combat again, the enemy splatters his brains JFK-style. He deserves it.”

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has sent a memo to GOP leaders to get their input on Todd Kincannon’s outreach technique:

“Are we getting warmer?”
