If they weren't such utter asshats one could almost feel sorry for the tri-cornered teabag set, whom wake up each morning and tune into the fun-house mirror refraction of reality that is the Fox News Division, where Steve Doocy is considered a journalist, and Obama hatred so much of the Patois that it is news when someone over there doesn't engage in it, such as yesterday when Bildo O'Reilly refuses to trash the tenative Nuke Deal with Iran.
The latest example of obscuration over in FoxWorld is in Todd Starnes' column about Indiana's Taditional Marriage only please Trattoria Memories Pizza in which he calls the LGBT community Fascists.
(More beyond yon BigGay Orange shitstorm.)
Todd Starnes is anonymous for having written "They Popped My Hood And Found Gravy on the Dipstick" an accounting of his personal Odyssey of losing 100 lbs and transforming himself from obnoxious fat-ass to mere obnoxious fathead and learning absolutely nothing along the way.
Memo to Todd: The Fascists in Germany tried to exterminate their LGBT community in the gas chambers, dickweed, calling our LGBT friends Fascists is pretty much like calling our Jewish friends Nazis.
Todds latest dissertation "God Less America: Real Stories From the Front Lines of the Attack on Traditional Values" is blurbed at Amazon thusly:
Pay attention, people of faith. Dark clouds are gathering. The winds of intolerance are blowing. There’s a great storm approaching.
American Christians are facing uncertain times. Our nation’s values are under assault. Religious liberty has been undermined. We live in a day when right is now wrong and wrong is now right. The vicious leftwing attack against the recent traditional marriage stance of Chick-fil-A should serve as a wakeup call to people of faith. It’s not about a chicken sandwich. It’s about religious liberty. It’s about free speech. It’s about the future of our nation.
As a reporter covering the culture war for FOX News, Todd Starnes is on the front lines of these attacks against traditional values. In God Less America, he uses both recent news stories and compelling interviews with today’s top conservative leaders to bring to light what is happening across our country. In his award-winning, satire-meets-serious writing style, he strikes an important blow in today’s culture wars.
A Hat-tip to Amazon reviewer (and master of understatement) Jason who let's us in on the real skinny on the book (as Amazon wouldn't):
Perhaps the most troubling section of the book is a chapter in which Starnes describes President Obama's attempt to deify himself. Hopefully most readers will recognize this chapter as satirical (although I am not confident). This chapter lays out a secret plan to replace Christianity with the religion of Obama, complete with hymn and holidays. While the entire book accuses Obama of outrageously ant-Christian actions, this chapter is egregious in its attempt to position President Obama as the enemy of Christianity.
God Less America is not a good book. The writing is simplistic. The ideas are deceptive. At the heart of the book is not an attempt to carry on a genuine conversation about religious liberty in America, but it is a manipulative and exploitative attempt to rally the conservative troops.
Asshats or not, with miscreants like Starnes informing them and reinforcing them in their ignorance it is no wonder that the tea drinkers are more than just stupid, they are mad and stupid.... a dangerous combination.
I don't much believe in hell, but if there be one I hope there is a particularly hot corner of it reserved for carnival barkers (apologies to carnies and whilst I'm about it to the rotund amongst us) like Starnes who grift the yokels from off the midway to play in their gaffed game and make a tidy living from stroking the fires of intolerance and fear...
