That's how we get to this latest one - Romney's "joke" about nobody asking for his birth certificate. Which, BTW, was really just another of the standard plays intended to make a Democrat seem foreign and exotic and non-American blah blah blah.
Well, I've been wondering about all this and there's another one making the rounds. And maybe it's just too subtle (these things do escape me with an annoying frequency), but it suddenly occurred to me that it's exactly the same kind of crap.
And here it is:
This junk goes right along with the big fluff the wingnuts have been putting up about "Obama's Victory Lap" and congratulating himself on the raid that got bin Laden etc.
And it's almost brilliant. It downplays the facts:
- In spite of Dick Cheney's warnings, we didn't "get hit again" even tho' we elected a Democrat.
- As a political asset, Junior Bush decided Osama bin Laden was worth more alive than dead, so he stopped even looking for him - which left it up to Obama to get him, which of course he did, which now means that the "Repubs are better on Nat'l Security" thing is exposed as being total bullshit.
...but the main thing is this: "conservatives" are pretending Obama is some kind of braggart because they're trying to invite us to make a base-level inference - they want us to picture "the swaggering buck, struttin' his stuff, and showin' off his prowess".
The bin Laden issue is the "My Dick's Bigger Than Your Dick" debate, and suddenly it's too painfully obvious that the GOP dick is a lot smaller than they've been telling us it is, and - holy fuck - the Democrat's a black guy. This is gonna be real bad.
As Freudian and repressed as most of these bozos appear to be, I just don't have any real doubts about this.
Buncha sick fucks.
