Whether she is or she is just pretending she is, it is time for the left to muster the courage to gasp label people.
Sarah Palin is stupid. She asked for it, she got it. I don't particularly care anymore if people think I'm part of some elitist plot to take over the government for the socialists because I have half a brain and can tell when someone is stupid. Those people are stupid as well.
When President Obama said the police had behaved "stupidly" in the Gates issue, he was also right. They had behaved stupidly. I agree with him. It doesn't matter to me whether some people think that because I agree I am an anarchist hoping to participate in the breakdown of law as we know it in this society and that I have no respect for the job our policemen do on a daily basis. Those people are stupid as well.
The birthers are stupid. It makes no difference to me that some people believe I am part of a 40 plus year old plot to take over the United States by people with funny names. Those people are stupid as well.
Those people, btw, are also racist. I wanted to write a diary on that today but I am so done with the stupidity that I just had to write this one. BUT, did you know that not long ago in our nation's history in the Jim Crow south most recently, and throughout the rest of the country less recently, black people in America were denied the issuance of birth certificates? I thought about that the other day and realized the disgusting racist underpinnings of this whole "birth certificate" fiasco.
Perhaps the disbelief that Obama has a birth certificate is really the questioning of whether a black man even deserves an identity in this country. Which brings me back to the original thesis of this rant. Those people are stupid. Those people are truly "evil" stupid, Ms. Palin, hear me? Those people are the real evil. Those people are the real stupid. Fucking evil stupid.
It's time. I loved coming here and reading "Idiot Nation" by Hunter today.

We have a leader in the Republican party once again tossing out the "evil" label and behaving stupidly. Can we not respond by naming things for what they actually are? I think so. It's just factual at this point. I don't care if people think I am participating in a war between people that have some brain capacity and the ignorant sector of this nation that stupidly refuses to educate themselves and move beyond 1950 Jim Crow mentality. Because maybe I freaking am.
