Dumbest right-wing idea of the year?

The year is almost over, and while 2011 started on an ominous note, it now appears as if the Evil Empire's ship has sailed for good. (Keep your fingers crossed.)

This year has been full of idiotic right-wing ideas, but I just stumbled upon what may be the most bippus-bustingly bad idea of them all. I don't remember hearing anything about it at the time, but it turns out that several months ago, right-wing members of Congress fired one of the most noxious missiles in their war on workers that I've seen in ages.

The Republican Study Committee (a group of congressional extremists) promoted a bill that would cut off food stamps from anybody who was participating in a labor strike. Then they lied about it. The bill had been introduced by right-wing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who led the committee.

Evidently, this bill died - because it was crap.

I want to know where the Republicans learned such meanness.

If somebody works for a living and makes so little money that they have to get food stamps, isn't it only fair that they go on strike?
