The TP has a new idiot.

Dr. Milton Wolf, a U.S. Republican Senate candidate from Kansas, is under fire for posting to his Facebook page a collection of grisly "X-ray images of gunshot fatalities and medical injuries" he acquired as a radiologist and making "macabre jokes" about them online, the Topeka Capital Journal reports.

The best part is, his cousin is none other than President Barack Hussein Obama II.

Asked about these posts:

"I'm not going to play these kinds of gotcha games," he responded before walking away.

Gotcha games? You put this on the internet YOURSELF, and it's a gotcha game?
 
The amount of money spent by GOP benefactors has given SOME of these primary candidates a false sense of security.
For what's best for our Nation, I feel for the DECENT members of the GOP, the silent majority, who need to become vocal.
This is how they will attract independents to their general election candidates .
 
Kansas is an interesting place.
 
One sentence buried in the middle of a long article "......endorsed by groups aligned with Tea Party organizers."

What does that mean? The Tea Party likes blood and guts?

Do any of the Liberals believe that a story this damning should have a little more substantial evidence? The guy is insane, but to leap on that single strange sentence as some sort of broad Tea Party descriptor is wrong.

He's claiming to be a GOP candidate but he's really working for Obama.

Gotcha.

Uhm, in a weird, I imagine unintended way, aren't most of the TeaPartiers working for either Obama or at the very least Democrats? Seems to me they are very helpful to their enemies. This is just another example.
 
Doctors, medical types, EMTs, firemen and cops end up with odd senses of humor. You kinda have to, to survive and stay sane seeing some of what we see. Some of the jokes are indeed macabre and 'black'
and may fall flat to those who don't understand the context and experiences of such people.

In short... I haven't seen his page but I doubt this is really such a big deal.

Thats true but I've never seen anyone describe a decapitation as beautiful

However, Wolf and others viewing these Facebook postings relentlessly poked fun at the dead or wounded. The gunshot victim, Wolf joked online, wasn't going to complain about the awkward positioning of his head for an X-ray. In a separate Facebook comment, Wolf wrote that an X-ray of a man decapitated by gunfire resembled a wounded alien in a “Terminator” film and that the image offered evidence people “find beauty in different things.”

Maybe but how did the Tea Party get into this profound discussion?

Are you saying Obama is a Tea Party member?

Maybe I misunderstood, but apparently the person being quoted, Wolf, is a TP darling and also some offhand relative of Obama's.
 
I'm pulling for him. Roberts has got to go.

I have. Granted, most first responder types know to keep "inside" humor among their own circle, and that posting such things on FB for outsiders to see is a bad idea, as most won't understand and will think it is evidence of derangement.

I'll admit I'm not nearly the smartest guy on the block when it comes to guns, but how is it possible to "decapitate a man by gunfire"?
 
I am also pulling for this Akin/Mourdoch type of candidate .

Wouldn't be the first time crap like this in politics.

Remember Todd Aikin? Hand picked as an opponent by Claire McCaskill, supported with campaign contributions from her campaign. Of course, the media never reported any of that, and unfairly hung the entire Republican party with it.

The good radiologist obviously shouldn't have gone and done that, but I've also heard that doctors crack the worst doctor jokes during the middle surgeries. Probably a good thing the patient is out during the procedure.

That kind of comment might make sense if you're admiring the efficiency of your machine gun after a fierce battle and are currently high on 12 different kinds of natural chemicals your brain released and are now storming through your blood, but on a facebook wall it makes much less sense.

Also I don't think this guy has been through so much as to see anything so traumatic that its left him with a permanent change to how he views bodily trauma, I mean he works as a radiologist and while X-Rays can depict some graphic stuff I don't think they'd have the same mental impact as seeing the same injury in the flesh.

Large caliber rounds, a .50 cal will blow your arm completely off, one to the head will leave you a headless corpse, and if you happen to take a few in your stomach area it can literally blast you in half.

Unless of course you are in the X-ray room with the patient taking the X-rays. Then it's right there in front of you, and you even have to manipulate the mangled limb to the correct position to get the correct view in the X-ray.

I'd have to agree that this sort of inner circle humor should remain in the inner circle amongst those who understand and have similar frame of reference.

So this is basically someone killed by the government and/or a very rare occurrence.
 
People would be surprised at some of the cracks made by aid workers in Africa dealing with starvation, mass deaths, war crimes. Their actions speak volumes, their cracks are a release valve so that they can vent about what they're seeing in a non-clinical and non-emotional manner. Having a crying jag all the damn time gets wearisome.

A radiologist is not the same as the person operating the machine.

That's one hell of an unsubstantiated leap there. At least I hope it is. I wouldn't want to find out that the US government was going around shooting a citizens with firearms with that large a caliber.

Of course things didn't work out so well for Mr. Akin so....

I don't care what kind of inside humor gets tossed around the OR, but this was on Facebook and to me the worst of all was that he violated these patients' privacy. They weren't his xrays to distribute like that.

Perhaps an uneducated leap - I was only thinking that 50 caliber is like a sniper rifle and usually snipers are government agents - could be shooting at hostage takers, bank robbers, maybe even in war zones although Kansas is far from a war zone, unless you're a male who donated sperm to a sperm bank, but that's a whole other can of worms.
