Max Blumenthal and the Moron Brigades
I’ve given Blumenthal grief in the past for some of his sillier claims about Toby Keith, but this journey to the center of the idiot is brilliant.
The young woman talking about Glenn Beck is particularly creepy, and the “English only” gentleman..well, you’ll just have to watch it.
I’ve had some thoughts bubbling away about this berzerk population of Americans but it’s been difficult to articulate it. It’s almost too much.
For example, I could write a volume on the breathtaking audacity of a movement that had people arrested for wearing the wrong tee-shirt to taxpayer-funded republican rallies (when the republicans actually let them in) could literally turn on a dime, as Glenn Beck did, and announce that “dissent is patriotism” and begin showing up at public forums with openly displayed assault weapons and pictures of Obama decorated with Hitler moustaches. (and yes I know we have second amendment rights. See my point about home defense and the pointlessness of weapons at events in which police already provide security. See also this sign, which indicates something a little less high-minded that Constitutionalism).
i could go on for hours about the willingness to accept, without question, the claim that the president wants to kill your baby (among other absurdities), and then to cling to that claim despite ALL EVIDENCE to the contrary.
This says nothing about their ignorance of even the most basic functions of government, about which reams could be generated.
I will try to get to that later this week, but it’s a daunting and depressing topic to think about.
