Wrong On So Many Levels

Hmmm... a Fox commentor writes: Obama chugging 40's in IRE while tornadoes ravage MO.

First off, we get the racist (is it really a dog-whistle when it's patently audible?) reference to malt liquor. We also have the no-win, Catch-22 situation- if the president decided to fly home to deal with the catastrophe in Missouri, the talking point would have been "President Obama wastes taxpayer dollars with costly Air Force One flight, and snubs foreign heads-of-state." Thirdly, the goddamn Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is attaching strings to any aid to Missouri to score political points.

Really, what the hell is the matter with these people? Thankfully, the unreasonable, mean-spirited, repetitious attacks on the president are getting real old fast. I'm sure that the president will coordinate a better disaster response than his incompetent predecessor would have.

    It would be an international incident if Obama were seen tasting anything other than Guinness.

    That ought to blow up in Cantor's face, but IOKIYAAR factor might be the prevailing factor.

    Imagine the press coverage if someone in the House Democratic leadership had pulled that.

    Indeed. Maybe some Democrats could make the point during their - oh that interview slot is taken by John McCain again.

    "chugging 40s"? Wow. I don't even know what to say to that.

    At least he wasn't sitting with his thumb up his ass trying to read a children's book.

    I can only figure many of the aging reactionaries were so mad a you-know-what (Democrat) was elected that the rise in blood pressure has already 'sploded their hearts, resulting in fewer Limbaugh listeners & tea party attendees.

    If by fast you mean it took idiots over a decade to realize the con was in.

    Ya know, if he hadn't had a pint, the narrative would have been "OMG, he's a Muslim" among the real mouth breathers, and "OMG, he's a granny-jeans wearing lightweight" among the knuckle-draggers.

    Weren't these the same people who warned that, in killing Osama bin Laden, Obama was just inflaming Muslims?

    If he'd had an Irish Car Bomb, they would have said he supports terrorism, although he would have scored points with Peter King.

    Eric Cantor really needs to be hit by a meteor.
