PolitiCrazy

When you think of stupidity, these days it’s hard not to fall upon the conservative hotspot, FOX News. When thinking of idiots who happen to work for FOX News, you would typically think of Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity, two massive tools who are somehow consistently able to out-douche themselves.

But not enough is said of Dick Morris, a “pundit” for FOX News. Recently, concerning remarks made by the head of the Republican Party in Virginia (read: irrelevant moron) comparing Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden, Morris somehow managed to defend him. Then again, he was going up against another idiot, “liberal” (read: politically-moderate pussy that FOX News labels a liberal to seem balanced) Alan Colmes:

COLMES: And then after tamping it down, today the RNC comes out with another ad comparing Obama to Ayers. And you have the Republican chair in Virginia who sends out his troops, Jeff Frederick, giving instructions to 30 door-to-door canvassers saying, both have friends who bombed the Pentagon?

MORRIS: What’s the matter with comparing.

COLMES: Is this healthy?

MORRIS: Yes, what’s the matter — it is. What’s the matter with comparing Obama to the guy who introduced him in politics, gave him his first job, and has been a fixture in his campaign.

What? How is it rational to compare Obama to William Ayers (much less Osama bin Laden)? First off, what logic does Morris use to determine that Ayers “introduced [Obama] in politics”? Ayers was never a politician; for God’s sake, HE BOMBED POLITICIANS!!! Also, I didn’t know that William Ayers ever lived in Hawaii, where Obama got his first job working at an ice cream shop. Of course, they did serve strawberry, a known weapon of mass deliciousness. And how has Ayers been “a fixture in his campaign”? The only involvement Ayers has had with the Obama presidential campaign is indirect; to be specific, his involvement is limited to being a name tossed around by the geniuses in charge of McCain’s campaign who somehow think the American people are retarded. (Then again, we did elect Bush…)

If Dick Morris is really this stupid, then how does he find his way to the FOX News building every morning? I think he must sleep there, with Doocy, Hannity, and all those other idiots. You might wonder what they would be doing together at FOX News at night. I, for one, don’t want to know, but I’m sure it doesn’t involve intellectual activity.

John McCain is lost. No, not losing it, although I suppose an argument could be made for that as well. He is losing this election, and by a fairly large margin. The McCain/Palin campaign – the smear ads, the character attacks, all of it – has finally turned ugly. Crowd members at McCain rallies have been caught on tape saying some questionable things about Obama: “Traitor”, “treason”, “terrorist”, and “kill him” are the main phrases being used. I know; it’s hard to wrap your mind around some white trash idiot even knowing what the word “treason” means, but pretend for just a moment that it makes sense.

Do these idiots represent McCain? Yes and no. They certainly don’t represent Senator McCain. Senator McCain, while having notable occurances of rage, corruption, and perhaps even borderline racism, was a good man. He had strong beliefs and he held onto those beliefs, but he also worked across party lines to come up with the right vision for America. Senator McCain truly earned the title of “maverick”.

Presidential candidate McCain, however, is not so honorable. I don’t know what has happened to him, but McCain has turned into a neocon puppet. Even his running mate, the always-oblivious Miss Alaska, has been referred to as “Bush in a dress”. McCain seems so concerned with winning this election that he is willing to abandon everything he once stood for. For those of you who are convinced that it’s all an act and that President McCain would be more like Senator McCain, don’t be so sure. If McCain gets in the White House and starts showing his true colors – a decent guy who is fair to both sides – the people who voted for him (neocons) will revolt against him. It would be even worse than Obama winning; at least they know Obama stands against all of their policies. Either McCain has duped them into submission (it’s not like they’re a particularly bright crowd to begin with), or he’s really changed his views on literally everything.

McCain might have caught onto the fact that this hatred from his supporters has gone too far. Earlier this week, when a McCain supporter (read “moron”) shouted out something about Obama being an “A-rab” (not true, but also not even the original claim of conservatives; Arab and Muslim are not interchangeable), McCain had this to say:

“[Obama's] a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”

A very nice thing for McCain to say, although it did somewhat imply that Arabs are not “decent”. I seriously doubt that was his intention though. The point is, his effort will be futile. His statement was greeted with boos. He continues to run the attack ads that have fueled this ignorant rage, and thus the problem will not simply go away because McCain asks it to do so.

It’s just another conflict between Senator McCain and GOP candidate McCain.
