Are you folks like...............aware.................that you are freaking the fuck out?
Is this normal here? Are paroxysms of pearl clutching outrage some sort of seasonal sport? Or is this just a product of boredom when, relatively speaking, everything is going pretty darn well?
I mean regardless of what the subject is, no matter HOW outre the topic, no matter the level of horrendous heresy has been proposed, is THIS level of response....rational?
Or are you folks just so starved for the red meat of controversy that you are jumping on the first thing that moves and rending it to little bleeding pieces merely to sharpen your under worked fangs?
For god's sake folks, get a fucking grip on your emotions! This is a political blog, the subject under discussion is a political tactic...but you folks are acting as if someone tied a pootie to the top of a car!
There is a disturbing tinge of mob mentality on display here, a visceral feeling of rage feeding on itself to the point where all reason is abandoned in favor of letting the emotions of the moment carry otherwise sane people of the cliff of hysteria.
Which I am very sorry to say, considering the very, very small magnitude of the few thousand possible votes in a few minor primaries is way, WAY out of proportion. It is, I am sorry to say, reminiscent of the self-fulfilling faux moral shitstorms of the Tea Party.
It is also, to your shame and to the eyes of this semi objective outsider....hilarious!
And not in a good way!
Grab the nearest brown paper bag and take a few deep breaths, and TRY to find a little perspective, okay? Thanks.
